B Linda Brown, a real estate agent, believes that when it comes to solving homelessness, it takes a village. She spent nine years supporting homeless people in Springfield, Missouri, through a charitable organization called The Gathering Tree, which welcomed people a few times each week during daylight hours, providing a safe and welcoming place for them to take showers, socialize, or simply rest. But they had to close their doors for the night. “One cold winter night, I watched as my friends walked off into the darkness to a wet, cold camp, while we went home to a warm bed,” Linda said. “I realized I had to do something.” She had an idea to create a village of tiny houses to make sure no one slept outside on her watch! Linda started fundraising. She began by appealing to her fellow estate agents in the area before branching out into local businesses. Using these donations, Linda purchased a nearby abandoned area that already had the infrastructure in place. By February 2019, they’d built 31 tiny homes for their Eden Village and found residents for each one. All the residents must be good neighbors in order to stay in the village, and they certainly are! Linda was happy when she learned that the village actually increased local property values rather than lowering them as some people had feared. The driving philosophy behind Eden Village is simple: housing is the foundation of recovery. “Witnessing the struggles of the homeless in those unbearable environments was a turning point for me,” Linda said. “This led to the concept of a tiny-home community, a place where the chronically disabled can live with dignity and self-worth.” To this day, Linda firmly believes that there are a million reasons why someone can become homeless, but each of them can be solved with love and community involvement. 4. What function does The Gathering Tree serve for the homeless? A. It provides them with daytime shelters. B. It raises money for housing projects. C. It helps them find temporary camps. D. It builds tiny houses for them. 5. What were some local residents initially concerned about? A. A lack of tiny homes available. B. The cost of the construction. C. The safety of the neighborhood. D. A drop in their house prices. 6. Which statement would Linda Brown most likely agree with? A Financial aid should be prioritized for the homeless. B. Housing is fundamental to solving homelessness. C. Community support is secondary to government aid. D. Self-reliance is key to regaining dignity. 7. Which of the following can best describe Linda? A. Generous and independent. B. Ambitious and intellectual. C. Sympathetic and innovative. D. Brave and imaginative. C One of the top sources of added sugar in children’s diets in America is in their breakfast cereal (麦片). A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that advertising drives sales of high-sugar cereals when it’s aimed directly at kids under 12 — but not when it targets adults. In the study, researchers looked at all cereals purchased by 77,000 U. S. households over a nine-year period, between 2008 and 2017. They also looked at Nielsen ratings data, which closely monitored all the ads that people in a household saw — both children and adults. What they found was a strong relationship between how much advertising was targeted to kids and how much sugary cereal that households with children bought. By contrast, there was no link to increased purchases when ads targeted adults. And these extensive data also showed that behaviors that were learned in childhood could track into adulthood, which could lead to poor health outcomes over a lifetime. The study is the first to directly compare the influence of food advertising exposure by children with that of adults. The findings offer novel evidence of how food marketing turns children into the “ultimate weapon” in influencing family spending because they consistently ask their parents to purchase, a concept known as “pester power.” The food industry launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a voluntary effort to police itself. The 21 participating food companies made a commitment to cut back on marketing unhealthy foods to children under 12 — later revised to under 13. A new study conducted in 2024 showed that children’s exposure to cereal ads on TV programming aimed at kids has dropped dramatically. But Lindsey Smith Taillie, a food policy researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says these voluntary efforts aren’t making a difference. Advertisements, like kids’ eyeballs, are moving online, making it even harder to know what marketing children are being exposed to, Taillie notes. 8. What does the underlined phrase “pester power” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Parents’ unconditional love. B. Children’s uncontrolled spending. C. Parents’ growing consumption. D. Children’s repeated purchase requests. 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. An expectation for further study. B. An industry response to the issue. C. A limitation of the research method. D. A potential application of the findings. 10. What is Taillie’s attitude toward the voluntary efforts? A. Favorable. B. Tolerant. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Cereal Sales: The New Trend in Modern Diets. B. How to Stop Your Kids from Eating Sugar. C. CerealAds: The Hidden Threat to Kids’ Health. D. The History of Cereal Industry in America. D A new study suggests that the prospect of a difficult mental task can be as unattractive as physical pain, such as having a hot object held on your skin. When given a choice between the two, one might assume people would always pick the harmless mental task over the harmful physical one. “So your first thought would be why you would ever choose pain,” said lead author Todd Vogel. However, the study’s findings are truly jaw-dropping. For their experiment, researchers first tested their participants’ individual pain thresholds (疼痛阈值) using a device which heats up to a set temperature. Participants rated how much pain they experienced at different temperatures, from 0 (no pain) to 100 (very intense pain). The participants then performed a memory task called the n-back. During the task, participants see a series of letters pop up on a screen. As each letter appears, they are asked to confirm whether the on-screen letter matches one that appeared earlier in the sequence; for example, in a “two-back” task, the participants are required to recall the letter that appeared two positions earlier. The farther back they’re asked to remember, the more challenging the task becomes. The new study included five levels of the n-back, as well as five levels of pain. These n-back and pain levels were combined in various pairings throughout the study, giving participants the choice to choose one or the other each round. “If you have the option between the highest pain option and the lowest effort option, we expected people to choose the effort,” Vogel noted. “And we also expected the opposite to probably be true. ” But between those two extremes, where the pain and effort levels were more evenly matched, what would happen then? The result showed only one out of 39 participants in the study chose to perform the memory task every time, and for all the others, pain was the more appealing option. “In addition to doing the hard work during a task, you’re experiencing the expectation that you might make a mistake,” Vogel said. “When we avoid mental effort, there’s a question as to how much of that avoidance can be blamed on the anxiety over getting something wrong.” This was what they would further figure out. 12. How does the author present the topic in paragraph 1? A. By analyzing a common belief. B. By introducing a surprising fact. C. By illustrating a painful experience. D. By describing the process of a study. 13. What makes the memory task more difficult for participants? A The number of letters on the screen. B. The time allowed to recall the sequence. C. The positional gap between matching letters. D. The speed at which letters pop up. 14. Why were different pairings of pain and effort provided? A. To confirm the choice in extreme cases. B. To check the pain thresholds. C. To identify the participants’ limits. D. To compare choices at similar levels. 15. What will the researchers probably focus on in their next study? A. The ways to avoid mental effort. B. The influence of anxiety on choices. C. The importance of making no mistakes. D. The connection between pain and memory. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news.

Linda started fundraising. She began by appealing to her fellow estate agents in the area before branching out into local businesses. Using these donations, Linda purchased a nearby abandoned area that already had the infrastructure in place. By February 2019, they’d built 31 tiny homes for their Eden Village and found residents for each one. All the residents must be good neighbors in order to stay in the village, and they certainly are! Linda was happy when she learned that the village actually increased local property values rather than lowering them as some people had feared. The driving philosophy behind Eden Village is simple: housing is the foundation of recovery. “Witnessing the struggles of the homeless in those unbearable environments was a turning point for me,” Linda said. “This led to the concept of a tiny-home community, a place where the chronically disabled can live with dignity and self-worth.” To this day, Linda firmly believes that there are a million reasons why someone can become homeless, but each of them can be solved with love and community involvement. 4. What function does The Gathering Tree serve for the homeless? A. It provides them with daytime shelters. B. It raises money for housing projects. C. It helps them find temporary camps. D. It builds tiny houses for them. 5. What were some local residents initially concerned about? A. A lack of tiny homes available. B. The cost of the construction. C. The safety of the neighborhood. D. A drop in their house prices. 6. Which statement would Linda Brown most likely agree with? A. Financial aid should be prioritized for the homeless. B. Housing is fundamental to solving homelessness. C. Community support is secondary to government aid. D. Self-reliance is key to regaining dignity. 7. Which of the following can best describe Linda? A. Generous and independent. B. Ambitious and intellectual. C. Sympathetic and innovative. D. Brave and imaginative. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。房地产经纪人琳达·布朗创立伊甸园村，为无家可归者建造微型房屋社区，提供安全住所，增进邻里和谐，提升周边房产价值，践行爱心与社区共助理念。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“She spent nine years supporting homeless people in Springfield, Missouri, through a charitable organization called The Gathering Tree, which welcomed people a few times each week during daylight hours, providing a safe and welcoming place for them to take showers, socialize, or simply rest. But they had to close their doors for the night.(她花了九年的时间在密苏里州的斯普林菲尔德帮助无家可归的人，通过一个名为“聚会树”的慈善组织，该组织每周在白天欢迎人们几次，为他们提供一个安全而温馨的地方洗澡，社交，或者只是休息。但他们不得不关门过夜)”可知，该组织为无家可归者提供日间庇护所。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Linda was happy when she learned that the village actually increased local property values rather than lowering them as some people had feared.(当琳达得知这个村庄实际上提高了当地的房地产价值，而不是像一些人担心的那样降低了它们时，她很高兴)”可知，有些人害怕他们当地的房地产会贬值。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The driving philosophy behind Eden Village is simple: housing is the foundation of recovery.(伊甸村背后的运营理念十分简单：住房是康复的基础)”可知，琳达·布朗认为解决一个人无家可归的根本原因在于先满足其住房需求。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中““One cold winter night, I watched as my friends walked off into the darkness to a wet, cold camp, while we went home to a warm bed,” Linda said. “I realized I had to do something.”(“在一个寒冷的冬夜，我看到我的朋友们走进黑暗之中，前往一个潮湿寒冷的营地，而我们则回家去享受温暖的床铺。”琳达说道。“我意识到自己必须做点什么。”)”可知，琳达因不忍心看到朋友在寒冷的夜晚无处可去而产生了建立小屋村庄的想法，这体现了她的同情心。根据第三段中“Using these donations, Linda purchased a nearby abandoned area that already had the infrastructure in place. By February 2019, they’d built 31 tiny homes for their Eden Village and found residents for each one.(利用这些捐款，琳达在附近购买了一个已经具备基础设施的废弃区域。到2019年2月，他们已经为“伊甸村”建造了31栋小屋，并为每栋小屋都找到了住户)”可知，她创新地解决了无家可归者的问题，通过建立伊甸村这一独特方式，展现了她的创新精神。故选C。 C One of the top sources of added sugar in children’s diets in America is in their breakfast cereal (麦片). A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that advertising drives sales of high-sugar cereals when it’s aimed directly at kids under 12 — but not when it targets adults. In the study, researchers looked at all cereals purchased by 77,000 U. S. households over a nine-year period, between 2008 and 2017. They also looked at Nielsen ratings data, which closely monitored all the ads that people in a household saw — both children and adults. What they found was a strong relationship between how much advertising was targeted to kids and how much sugary cereal that households with children bought. By contrast, there was no link to increased purchases when ads targeted adults. And these extensive data also showed that behaviors that were learned in childhood could track into adulthood, which could lead to poor health outcomes over a lifetime. The study is the first to directly compare the influence of food advertising exposure by children with that of adults. The findings offer novel evidence of how food marketing turns children into the “ultimate weapon” in influencing family spending because they consistently ask their parents to purchase, a concept known as “pester power.” The food industry launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a voluntary effort to police itself. The 21 participating food companies made a commitment to cut back on marketing unhealthy foods to children under 12 — later revised to under 13. A new study conducted in 2024 showed that children’s exposure to cereal ads on TV programming aimed at kids has dropped dramatically. But Lindsey Smith Taillie, a food policy researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says these voluntary efforts aren’t making a difference. Advertisements, like kids’ eyeballs, are moving online, making it even harder to know what marketing children are being exposed to, Taillie notes. 8. What does the underlined phrase “pester power” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Parents’ unconditional love. B. Children’s uncontrolled spending. C. Parents’ growing consumption. D. Children’s repeated purchase requests. 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. An expectation for further study. B. An industry response to the issue. C. A limitation of the research method. D. A potential application of the findings. 10. What is Taillie’s attitude toward the voluntary efforts? A. Favorable. B. Tolerant. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Cereal Sales: The New Trend in Modern Diets. B. How to Stop Your Kids from Eating Sugar. C. CerealAds: The Hidden Threat to Kids’ Health. D. The History of Cereal Industry in America. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了针对儿童的高糖麦片广告对孩子健康与家庭消费的影响、相关研究发现、食品行业的自律措施，以及专家对这些措施效果的质疑。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The findings offer novel evidence of how food marketing turns children into the “ultimate weapon” in influencing family spending because they consistently ask their parents to purchase (研究结果为食品营销如何将儿童变成影响家庭消费的“终极武器”提供了新的证据，因为他们会不断地要求父母购买)”可知，儿童会不断地要求父母购买，所以“pester power”指的是儿童反复要求购买的行为。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The food industry launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a voluntary effort to police itself. The 21 participating food companies made a commitment to cut back on marketing unhealthy foods to children under 12 — later revised to under 13. A new study conducted in 2024 showed that children’s exposure to cereal ads on TV programming aimed at kids has dropped dramatically. (食品行业发起了“儿童食品和饮料广告倡议”，这是一项自我监管的自愿行动。21家参与的食品公司承诺减少向12岁以下（后来修订为13岁以下）的儿童推销不健康食品。2024年进行的一项新研究表明，儿童在针对儿童的电视节目中接触麦片广告的情况大幅下降。)”可知，本段主要讲述了食品行业针对儿童高糖麦片广告问题所采取的行动，即行业对该问题的回应。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But Lindsey Smith Taillie, a food policy researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says these voluntary efforts aren’t making a difference.

(但北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的食品政策研究员林赛·史密斯·泰勒表示，这些自愿行动并没有起到作用。泰勒指出，广告和孩子们的眼球一样，正在转向线上，这使得人们更难知道孩子们接触到了什么样的营销。)”可知，泰勒认为这些自愿行动没有起到作用，即她对自愿行动持怀疑态度。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of the top sources of added sugar in children’s diets in America is in their breakfast cereal (麦片). A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that advertising drives sales of high-sugar cereals when it’s aimed directly at kids under 12 — but not when it targets adults. (在美国，儿童饮食中添加糖的主要来源之一是早餐麦片。《美国预防医学杂志》上发表的一项研究表明，当广告直接针对12岁以下儿童时，会推动高糖麦片的销售，但当广告针对成年人时则不会。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要围绕儿童高糖麦片广告对儿童健康构成潜在威胁展开，C选项“麦片广告：儿童健康的潜在威胁”符合文章主旨，适合作标题。故选C项。 D A new study suggests that the prospect of a difficult mental task can be as unattractive as physical pain, such as having a hot object held on your skin. When given a choice between the two, one might assume people would always pick the harmless mental task over the harmful physical one. “So your first thought would be why you would ever choose pain,” said lead author Todd Vogel. However, the study’s findings are truly jaw-dropping. For their experiment, researchers first tested their participants’ individual pain thresholds (疼痛阈值) using a device which heats up to a set temperature. Participants rated how much pain they experienced at different temperatures, from 0 (no pain) to 100 (very intense pain). The participants then performed a memory task called the n-back. During the task, participants see a series of letters pop up on a screen. As each letter appears, they are asked to confirm whether the on-screen letter matches one that appeared earlier in the sequence; for example, in a “two-back” task, the participants are required to recall the letter that appeared two positions earlier. The farther back they’re asked to remember, the more challenging the task becomes. The new study included five levels of the n-back, as well as five levels of pain. These n-back and pain levels were combined in various pairings throughout the study, giving participants the choice to choose one or the other each round. “If you have the option between the highest pain option and the lowest effort option, we expected people to choose the effort,” Vogel noted. “And we also expected the opposite to probably be true. ” But between those two extremes, where the pain and effort levels were more evenly matched, what would happen then? The result showed only one out of 39 participants in the study chose to perform the memory task every time, and for all the others, pain was the more appealing option. “In addition to doing the hard work during a task, you’re experiencing the expectation that you might make a mistake,” Vogel said. “When we avoid mental effort, there’s a question as to how much of that avoidance can be blamed on the anxiety over getting something wrong.” This was what they would further figure out. 12. How does the author present the topic in paragraph 1? A. By analyzing a common belief. B. By introducing a surprising fact. C. By illustrating a painful experience. D. By describing the process of a study. 13. What makes the memory task more difficult for participants? A. The number of letters on the screen. B. The time allowed to recall the sequence. C. The positional gap between matching letters. D. The speed at which letters pop up. 14. Why were different pairings of pain and effort provided? A. To confirm the choice in extreme cases. B. To check the pain thresholds. C. To identify the participants’ limits. D. To compare choices at similar levels. 15. What will the researchers probably focus on in their next study? A. The ways to avoid mental effort. B. The influence of anxiety on choices. C. The importance of making no mistakes. D. The connection between pain and memory. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项科学研究，探究了人们面对高难度脑力任务和身体疼痛时的选择倾向，研究发现相较于完成有挑战性的脑力任务，多数人更愿意选择承受身体疼痛，研究人员还将进一步探究这种选择倾向背后的原因。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study suggests that the prospect of a difficult mental task can be as unattractive as physical pain, such as having a hot object held on your skin. When given a choice between the two, one might assume people would always pick the harmless mental task over the harmful physical one. “So your first thought would be why you would ever choose pain,” said lead author Todd Vogel. However, the study’s findings are truly jaw-dropping.(一项新的研究表明，面对一项艰巨的脑力任务时所产生的恐惧感，其吸引力甚至能与身体上的疼痛（比如皮肤被热物体接触）相媲美。当面临两者选择时，人们可能会认为人们总是会选择无害的脑力任务而非有害的身体任务。该研究的首席作者托德·沃格尔说：“所以你可能会想，为什么人们会愿意选择疼痛呢？”然而，该研究的结果确实令人震惊。)”，作者先提出“人们会认为选择无害的脑力任务而非有害的身体疼痛”这一常规想法，随后通过研究负责人的话引出研究结果令人大跌眼镜的事实，以此引出文章研究的主题。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As each letter appears, they are asked to confirm whether the on-screen letter matches one that appeared earlier in the sequence; for example, in a “two-back” task, the participants are required to recall the letter that appeared two positions earlier. The farther back they’re asked to remember, the more challenging the task becomes.(每当一个字母出现时，他们都要确认屏幕上显示的字母是否与之前序列中的某个字母相匹配；例如，在“二背”测试中，参与者需要回忆起出现在序列中两个位置之前的那个字母。要求他们记住的字母出现位置越靠后，测试就越难。)”可知，要求匹配的字母之间的位置间隔越大，这项记忆任务对参与者来说难度就越高。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““If you have the option between the highest pain option and the lowest effort option, we expected people to choose the effort,” Vogel noted. “And we also expected the opposite to probably be true.” But between those two extremes, where the pain and effort levels were more evenly matched, what would happen then?(沃格尔指出：“如果在承受最大痛苦和付出最小努力这两种选择中，我们原本预计人们会选择付出努力这一选项。而且我们还预期情况可能恰恰相反。”但在这两种极端情况之外，当痛苦程度和努力程度较为均衡时，又会发生什么呢？)”可知，研究人员已能预判极端情况下人们的选择，随后提出疑问“当疼痛和脑力付出程度更均衡时，会发生什么”可知，设置疼痛和脑力付出的不同组合，是为了对比二者程度相近时参与者的选择。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““In addition to doing the hard work during a task, you’re experiencing the expectation that you might make a mistake,” Vogel said. “When we avoid mental effort, there’s a question as to how much of that avoidance can be blamed on the anxiety over getting something wrong.” This was what they would further figure out.(沃格尔说：“除了在任务执行过程中付出努力之外，你还会感受到一种心理压力，即担心自己可能会犯错。当我们减少脑力投入时，就会产生这样的疑问：这种减少投入的行为，有多少程度是由于对犯错的恐惧而造成的呢？”这就是他们接下来要探究的问题。)”可知，研究人员接下来的研究可能会聚焦于焦虑对人们选择的影响。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news.

Jobos were their favorite fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill. They heard she was difficult, but that sometimes she would give fruit in return for an errand(差使) The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. An elderly woman with a fierce look answered, staring down at the girls. “We heard …”said Sandy, her voice shaky, “that you give jobos in payment for running an errand.” The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed them into the girls’ hands.“Go fill these with jobos, and come right back.” The girls raced up the hill to the tree and filled the baskets with the ripest jobos. Back at the house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy. “Take this bag and one basket of jobos to the Brown family. And ask them for the payment,” the lady added with a tight smile.“If you return without the payment, you won’t get the fruit.” The girls struggled all the way with the bag and the basket. When they were there, Mrs. Brown answered the door. Inside on the floor were three little children, each painting something on papers. Mr. Brown was lying sick in bed.Times were hard. The girls handed her the food.“This is from the lady with the jobo tree, ” said Sandy. “She asked for the payment, too.”Jane said awkwardly. “The payment! The payment!” The children repeated, waving the paper in their hands happily. Sandy and Jane looked at each other strangely. With a smile, Mrs. Brown handed Sandy a large sealed(密封的)envelope so full that it was almost starting to break open. The girls said goodbye and left quickly. “I wonder,” Sandy murmured, “whether Mrs. Brown can afford to pay for that food.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Worried, the two girls discussed what was in the envelope as they walked back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The lady opened the envelope, took out a pile of papers, and smiled. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Worried, the two girls discussed what was in the envelope as they walked back. Tapping her chin, Sandy murmured, “If it’s money, that’s a great deal! If it’s not, what could it be?” Jane, lost in thought, didn’t reply at once. She placed her palms on envelope, reflected on the family and suddenly she claimed, “Paintings! It must be the girls’ paintings! After she explained to Sandy, they arrived at the old lady’s. Awkwardly, Jane handed the lady the envelope with trembling hands. The lady opened the envelope, took out a pile of papers and smiled. On the papers were colorful drawings from the children. At this scene, Sandy and Jane looked at each other and smiled. Then, the girls gained their payment- a full basket of ripe jobos.
