Chiara Beer suffered a serious stroke (中风) as a baby, which left her with the use of only one hand. After overcoming the inconvenience brought about by the stroke, she began to post videos on the Internet to show people how she lives with only one working hand and encourage other stroke survivors to become more independent.
When Chiara was younger, she was unable to find anyone else to turn to. And she found there was a huge lack of resources about strokes, particularly among young people. Besides, she used to get many questions like how she did her hair with one hand and things like that. Then she decided to start sharing some content on social media.
She shared her own story of stroke survival and showed her followers her daily life. For example, she has shown them how she drives a specially adapted car and how technology helps her to read and write. Chiara said, “I wanted to help raise awareness about young people who suffered strokes and help them to find a way to be able to overcome their limitations.”
Chiara’s viewers have made many heartening comments on her videos. She received a lot of love and support from them. They thanked her for showing them how to become a little more independent. “My baby girl has had a stroke. Chiara’s videos give me hope that she can be independent one day. I think the hope that Chiara is bringing to people is immeasurable,” a woman said.
More recently, Chiara’s work was discovered by a charity which supports stroke survivors. Lauren Hartney, part of the charity, said, “The main focus of our charity is peer support. A lot of the staff and volunteers are stroke survivors themselves or they have a close personal connection to strokes. They use those personal experiences to help other people who are going through the illness. So when I first came across Chiara’s videos, I knew immediately she would be the perfect one to represent the charity.” Chiara is now working with the charity to help more people.
4. For what did Chiara get the idea of sharing her life online?
A. To become famous on social media.
B. To remind people to post videos online.
C. To seek help from other stroke survivors.
D. To fill the gap in information on strokes in daily life.
5. How did Chiara’s videos help stroke survivors and their families?
A. By showing them how to live independently.
B. By encouraging them to do volunteer work.
C. By providing advice on medical treatment.
D. By offering solutions to family problems.
6. What kind of comment may have been made on Chiara’s videos?
A. Humorous. B. Inspirational. C. Critical. D. Abstract.
7. Why is Chiara considered the perfect one to represent the charity?
A. She is skilled in helping disabled kids in her community.
B. She could encourage others with her personal experiences.
C. She has a large number of social media followers.
D. She is experienced in making funny videos.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. B
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“And she found there was a huge lack of resources about strokes, particularly among young people. Besides, she used to get many questions like how she did her hair with one hand and things like that. Then she decided to start sharing some content on social media. (她发现关于中风的资源非常匮乏,尤其是在年轻人中。此外,她经常收到许多问题,比如如何用一只手打理头发之类的。于是,她决定开始在社交媒体上分享一些内容)”可知,Chiara想在网上分享她的生活,是为了填补日常生活中关于中风的信息空白。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“After overcoming the inconvenience brought about by the stroke, she began to post videos on the Internet to show people how she lives with only one working hand and encourage other stroke survivors to become more independent. (在克服了中风带来的不便之后,她开始在互联网上发布视频,向人们展示她如何只用一只手工作,并鼓励其他中风幸存者变得更加独立)”可知,Chiara的视频通过向中风幸存者和他们的家人展示如何独立生活来帮助他们。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Chiara’s viewers have made many heartening comments on her videos. She received a lot of love and support from them. (Chiara的观众在她的视频下发表了许多令人振奋的评论。她从他们那里得到了很多爱和支持)”可知,Chiara的视频下有鼓舞人心的评论。故选B项。

So when I first came across Chiara’s videos, I knew immediately she would be the perfect one to represent the charity. (许多工作人员和志愿者本身就是中风幸存者,或者他们与中风有密切的个人联系。他们用这些个人经历来帮助其他正在经历这种疾病的人。所以当我第一次看到Chiara的视频时,我立刻就知道她是代表慈善机构的最佳人选)”可知,该慈善机构中的工作人员和志愿者用个人经历来帮助中风患者。因此,Chiara被认为是代表慈善机构的最佳人选,是因为她可以用自己的个人经历鼓励其他人。故选B项。
C
New research led by Brian Meier, a professor of psychology, provides convincing evidence of humans’ deep-seated preference for products labeled as “natural”, demonstrating how this bias (偏见) significantly influences real-world decision-making even when potential risks are involved.
Prior studies have shown that the bias extends across various fields. However, many of them relied on self-reported preferences in hypothetical scenarios (假设情景), leaving a gap in our understanding of how the bias influences actual behavior. Therefore, Brian and his colleagues conducted three experiments to test participants’ choices and performances in different contexts.
The first experiment involved 174 college students who were led to believe they were testing a strength-enhancing drink described as either natural or synthetic (合成的). When asked to choose between the two options before repeating a strength test, an overwhelming 84% selected the natural-labeled drink, despite both being identical water samples.
In the second experiment, 98 students were offered chocolate described as containing either natural or synthetic cocoa, with researchers introducing an element of risk by mentioning potential stomach discomfort. Remarkably, 84% still chose the natural option, maintaining their preference even when facing possible negative effects.
The third experiment extended the research beyond laboratory settings, approaching 200 passers-by on a street. Participants evaluated stickers described as using natural or synthetic ink, then selected one to keep. Results showed 66% preferred natural-labeled stickers, which they also rated as higher quality and more appealing than the synthetic ones.
“The vast majority of subjects exhibited a clear behavioral preference that was influenced solely by the ‘natural’ label across all three experimental contexts,” Meier stated. The research, which spanned diverse settings and product categories, yielded remarkably consistent results, strongly confirming the profound impact of naturalness branding on consumer decision-making.
Based on these convincing findings, Meier and his research team have outlined several promising avenues for further investigation. Their future work aims to dive deeper into the underlying cognitive and emotional mechanisms of this “naturalness bias”, unlocking its potential applications in strategic marketing and public policy making.
8. How did Brian Meier’s research differ from earlier studies on naturalness bias?
A. It explored completely new fields. B. It repeated experiments for accuracy.
C. It tested people in real-life situations. D. It focused more on data comparison.
9. What can be inferred from the three experiments?
A. Risks lower the preference. B. The bias depends on product type.
C. The synthetic option tasted better. D. The bias works despite no real difference.
10. What is a possible future research direction for the team?
A. Behavioral bias. B. Consumer behavior.
C. Product labeling strategies. D. Hidden psychological mechanisms.
11. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. The Power of “Natural”: How Labels Shape Our Decisions
B. The Risks of Natural Products: A Psychological Analysis
C. Natural VS Synthetic: Consumer Choices in Everyday Life
D. Beyond the Label: New Research in Consumer Psychology
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍心理学教授布莱恩·迈尔团队开展的天然性偏见研究,通过三组实验证实该偏见影响人们实际决策,还介绍了研究的后续探索方向。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Prior studies have shown that the bias extends across various fields. However, many of them relied on self-reported preferences in hypothetical scenarios (假设情景), leaving a gap in our understanding of how the bias influences actual behavior. Therefore, Brian and his colleagues conducted three experiments to test participants’ choices and performances in different contexts.(此前的研究表明,这种偏见存在于各个领域。然而,其中许多研究依赖于假设情景下的自我报告偏好,这使得我们在理解这种偏见如何影响实际行为方面存在空白。因此,布莱恩和他的同事进行了三组实验,在不同情境下测试参与者的选择和表现。)”可知,早期研究依赖假设情景的自我报告,而布莱恩·迈尔的研究在不同实际情境中测试参与者行为,是在真实生活相关场景中开展测试,这是二者的核心不同。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The first experiment involved 174 college students who were led to believe they were testing a strength-enhancing drink described as either natural or synthetic (合成的). When asked to choose between the two options before repeating a strength test, an overwhelming 84% selected the natural-labeled drink, despite both being identical water samples. (第一个实验有174名大学生参与,他们被引导认为自己在测试一种标有天然或合成标签的增能饮料。在重复力量测试前被要求在两种选择中做出抉择时,尽管两种样本都是完全相同的水,仍有高达84%的人选择了标有天然标签的饮料。)”、第四段中的“In the second experiment, 98 students were offered chocolate described as containing either natural or synthetic cocoa, with researchers introducing an element of risk by mentioning potential stomach discomfort. Remarkably, 84% still chose the natural option, maintaining their preference even when facing possible negative effects.(第二个实验中,研究人员为98名学生提供了标有含天然可可或合成可可的巧克力,并提及可能引发胃部不适加入了风险因素。值得注意的是,仍有84%的人选择了天然选项,即便面临可能的负面影响仍保持这一偏好。)”和第五段中的“The third experiment extended the research beyond laboratory settings, approaching 200 passers-by on a street. Participants evaluated stickers described as using natural or synthetic ink, then selected one to keep. Results showed 66% preferred natural-labeled stickers, which they also rated as higher quality and more appealing than the synthetic ones.(第三个实验将研究范围拓展到实验室之外,在街头对近200名路人展开调查。参与者对标有使用天然墨水或合成墨水的贴纸进行评价,然后选择一张留存。结果显示,66%的人更喜欢标有天然标签的贴纸,他们还认为这些贴纸比合成墨水的贴纸质量更高、更有吸引力。)”可知,三组实验里天然和合成标注的产品本身无实质差异,甚至有实验加入风险因素,人们却仍偏向选择天然标签产品,可见这种偏见即便在产品无实际差别的情况下依然发挥作用。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Based on these convincing findings, Meier and his research team have outlined several promising avenues for further investigation. Their future work aims to dive deeper into the underlying cognitive and emotional mechanisms of this “naturalness bias”, unlocking its potential applications in strategic marketing and public policy making. (基于这些令人信服的研究结果,迈尔和其研究团队规划出了数个极具前景的深入研究方向。他们未来的研究旨在更深入地探究这种“天然性偏见”背后的认知和情感机制,挖掘其在策略性营销和公共政策制定方面的潜在应用价值。)”可知,该团队未来的研究方向之一是深入探究天然性偏见背后隐藏的认知和情感等心理机制。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“New research led by Brian Meier, a professor of psychology, provides convincing evidence of humans’ deep-seated preference for products labeled as “natural”, demonstrating how this bias (偏见) significantly influences real-world decision-making even when potential risks are involved. (心理学教授布莱恩·迈尔主导的一项新研究提供了令人信服的证据,证实人类对贴有“天然”标签的产品有着根深蒂固的偏好,并揭示了这种偏见如何在现实世界中显著影响人们的决策,即便其中存在潜在风险。)”以及全文围绕该研究的实验设计、结果和结论的阐述可知,文章核心围绕“天然”标签展开,说明其拥有影响人们消费决策的强大力量,因此“The Power of “Natural”: How Labels Shape Our Decisions(“天然” 的力量:标签如何影响我们的决策)”能精准概括全文核心,适合作为标题。故选A项。
D
A recent review of numerous studies reveals that childhood exposure to chemicals in common plastic household items poses significant and lasting health risks, extending well into adulthood. Published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, the findings highlight particular concern for three classes of chemicals: Caliphates (making plastic flexible), Biospheres (providing rigidity), and PFAS (resisting heat and water).
The research, which analyzed data from thousands of pregnant mothers, fetuses (胎), and children, links these chemicals to a range of long-term health issues. These include heart disease, obesity, infertility, and asthma, Experts explain that these substances can derange hormone (激素) function and trigger body-wide inflammation (炎症). Furthermore, early-life exposure is associated with neuro developmental problems like autism (孤独症) and ADHD, as well as IQ loss.
These chemicals arc widespread, found in food packaging, cosmetics, and even paper receipts. As plastics are used, heated, or washed, cytoplasmic and antiparticle arc released and become absorbed.
The review also suggests practical solutions. Parents can reduce exposure by switching to glass or stainless-steel containers and avoiding microwaving or dish washing plastic. Healthcare providers are encouraged to guide families toward safer choices.
At a policy level, researchers call for stricter regulations, especially for nonessential plastics. This urgency is supported by the ongoing negotiations for the UN Global Plastics Treaty, which aims to establish legally binding limits on plastic production. According to Trasande, the findings in the article support the urgent need for a strong agreement to help protect not only the environment but human health as well.
He notes that while the economic value of the plastics industry is commonly raised as a barrier to carrying out regulations, the resulting health care costs from exposure are enormous, with his research estimates reaching roughly $250 billion per year in the United States alone.
However, the researchers clarify that their findings do not challenge the essential, life-saving uses of plastic in medical settings, such as in ventilators (通风设备) for premature infants or neutralizers for asthmatic children. The concern lies primarily with unnecessary use outside of healthcare.
12. The underlined word “derange” in the paragraph 2 most probably means ______.
A. Disturb B. regulate
C. ignore D. fulfill
13. According to the passage, which is NOT the measure to reduce plastic exposure?
A. Making policies to limit nonessential plastics.
B. Launching campaigns to recycle plastic bottles.
C. Avoiding microwaving and dish washing plastic.
D. Replacing plastic containers with glass or stainless steel.
14. What is Dr. Trasande’s attitude towards plastics regulation?
A. Objective. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Neutral.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To call for a total ban on plastic production.
B. To stress the essential role of plastics in medicine.
C. To reveal risks of plastic exposure and urge actions.
D. To assess the economic cost of plastic-related diseases.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要揭示儿童接触家用塑料中的化学物质存在持久健康风险,并提出个人、医疗及政策层面的应对措施。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Experts explain that these substances can derange hormone (激素) function and trigger body-wide inflammation (炎症).(专家解释说,这些物质会derange激素功能,并引发全身性炎症)”可知,这些塑料中的化学物质会对人体造成危害,结合并列谓语trigger可知,此处指对激素功能产生不良影响,由此猜测derange意为“扰乱、干扰”,与disturb意思相近。。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Parents can reduce exposure by switching to glass or stainless-steel containers and avoiding microwaving or dish washing plastic.(父母可以通过改用玻璃或不锈钢容器,避免用微波炉加热或用洗碗机清洗塑料来减少接触)”以及第五段中的“At a policy level, researchers call for stricter regulations, especially for nonessential plastics.(在政策层面,研究人员呼吁更严格的法规,尤其是针对非必要塑料)”可知,文章未提及通过“发起回收塑料瓶的活动”来减少塑料的接触。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“According to Trasande, the findings in the article support the urgent need for a strong agreement to help protect not only the environment but human health as well.(Trasande表示,文章中的研究结果支持迫切需要一项强有力的协议,不仅有助于保护环境,也有助于保护人类健康)”可知,Trasande认为需要强有力的协议(即严格法规)来保护环境和人类健康,由此可推断,他对塑料法规持支持态度。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章第一段开篇点题,揭示儿童接触家用塑料中的化学物质存在显著且持久的健康风险;第二段详细说明这些化学物质带来的具体健康问题;第三段指出这些化学物质的广泛存在;第四、五、六段分别从个人、医疗、政策层面提出应对措施;最后一段补充说明研究结果不反对塑料在医疗领域的必要使用。综上,文章的主要目的是揭示塑料接触的风险并呼吁采取行动。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Are you able to cook a healthy meal? Are you able to manage your money well? Are you able to sew on a button? ___16___ This highlights a significant gap in modern education, which heavily prioritizes academic achievement and strict testing, often at the expense of practical life skills.
Schools have done well in preparing us to be academic achievers in school, but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills. ___17___ For those without these basic skills, the pandemic lockdown was a rude shock. With restaurants closed and home services stopped, it would have been satisfying to cook a meal or fix a light bulb. It’s a shame that schools produce scholarly individuals who are unprepared for simple home tasks.
___18___ For example, financial management fosters responsibility and caution, while lessons on investment teach wealth growth. Equipped with this literacy, students can better discuss financial goals with parents, and budgeting knowledge can steer them away from overspending. Thus, in our complex world, schools must teach beyond academic subjects.
After all, all the responsibility cannot be transferred to the home. The argument for parents teaching practical life skills overlooks modern realities. Many working parents lack the time, and some may not possess the proficiency themselves. ___19___.
Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it appropriately: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” School is not simply a place to pass knowledge and prepare us for a career. ___20___
A. Thus, a balanced approach is needed early on.
B. For instance, many communities offer evening classes for adults.
C. Instead, it equips us with the wisdom to construct a fulfilling life.
D. Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions.
E. Consequently, the central role in bridging this gap must fall to our schools.
F. By integrating practical skills, schools can teach a more complete set of life values.
G. Yet practical skills such as cooking and housekeeping are essential in the real world.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. F 19. E 20. C

由上文“After all, all the responsibility cannot be transferred to the home. The argument for parents teaching practical life skills overlooks modern realities. Many working parents lack the time, and some may not possess the proficiency themselves. (毕竟,所有的责任都不能转移到家庭。父母教授实践生活技能的观点忽视了现代现实。许多上班族父母缺乏时间,有些父母自己可能也不具备这些技能。)”可知,本空应提出解决这一问题的建议。E选项“Consequently, the central role in bridging this gap must fall to our schools. (因此,弥补这一差距的核心作用必须落在我们的学校身上。)”能承接上文,提出学校应在弥补这一差距中发挥核心作用,符合题意。故选E。

由上文“School is not simply a place to pass knowledge and prepare us for a career. (学校不仅仅是传授知识和为我们准备职业的地方。)”及下文“Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it appropriately: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” (作家桑德拉·凯里恰当地表达了这一点:“永远不要把知识和智慧混为一谈。一个帮助你谋生;另一个帮助你创造生活。”)”可知,本空应强调学校应传授的更深层次的东西。C选项“Instead, it equips us with the wisdom to construct a fulfilling life. (相反,它赋予我们构建充实生活的智慧。)”能承上启下,强调学校应赋予我们构建充实生活的智慧,符合题意。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了黄姚古镇,古镇有悠久的历史,传统习俗保存得很好,特色美食值得一尝,游客可以领会当地人的热情和地方文化。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国的古镇和村庄是建筑、生活方式和民俗方面传统得以保存的地方。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词places,在从句中可以作地点状语,也可以作traditions的定语,因此用关系副词where或关系代词whose。故填where/whose。
【37题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:所有这些都可以在黄姚古镇找到,黄姚古镇是广西壮族自治区访问量最大的旅游景点之一。根据句中的“one of”可知,空处需用spot的复数形式,表示“众多访问量最大的旅游景点中的一个”。故填spots。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:黄姚占地3.6平方公里,有近千年的历史,其起源可以追溯到宋代。句中已有谓语动词has,空处应用非谓语形式,作状语,Huangyao和cover之间是主动关系,需用cover的现在分词形式,且空处位于句首,covering首字母需大写。故填Covering。
【39题详解】
考查with复合结构。句意:黄姚占地3.6平方公里,有近千年的历史,其起源可以追溯到宋代。根据句中的“its origins dating back to the Song Dynasty”可知,此处应用with sth. doing的复合结构,表示黄姚历史拥有的起源,空处应用介词with。故填with。
【40题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:几百年来,这里的传统节日和习俗一直延续至今。空处与空前have构成句子的谓语,结合时间状语for hundreds of years up to now可知,时态为现在完成时,空处应填动词的过去分词carried。故填carried。
【41题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:在中国农历新年期间,这里举行20多种传统表演,包括舞龙和唢呐表演。空处作句子的谓语,句子描述的是现在的规律性的事件,应用一般现在时,performances和hold之间是被动关系,需用被动语态,且performances为复数,be动词用are。故填are held。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在中国农历七月十四日,居民们经常来到河边,在河里放灯笼来庆祝中元节,也就是鬼节。句中已有谓语动词,空处需用非谓语动词的形式,celebrate在句中作目的状语,需用不定式。故填to celebrate。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:黑豆经常被添加到当地的食物中,以创造出一种非常独特的味道。空处修饰形容词distinctive,应用extreme的副词形式extremely,表示“非常”。故填extremely。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:当你来这里的时候,黄姚豆腐是一种必须尝试的当地美食,因为它只在这个镇上出售。空处是泛指,表示“一种必须尝试的当地美食”,用不定冠词,must是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,用a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查比较级。句意:由于古镇面积不大,通常需要一两天的时间来游览,但你可以多待一段时间,更多地体验当地的热情好客和文化。根据句中的“It usually takes a day or two to tour around the old town due to its small size”和“but”可知,此处有语义的转折,虽然游览古镇需要的时间不多,但是可以待久一点,空处需用比较级和more of呼应,表示“更久”。故填longer。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was ten, my parents told me we were going to China for our summer holiday. I was over the moon — I had only ever seen the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in books, and now I would actually get to walk through history!
For weeks, I imagined the towering palaces, the red-and-gold gates, and the stories hidden in every corner. Finally, the day arrived, and there I was, standing in the heart of Beijing, staring up at the most magnificent buildings I had ever seen.
The Forbidden City was even more incredible in real life. The golden roofs shone under the sun, the delicate carvings told silent tales of emperors and warriors, and the vast courtyards made me feel like I had stepped into a fairy tale. Every turn revealed something new — a dragon statue, a marble staircase, a hidden garden — and I couldn’t stop taking pictures, desperate to capture every detail. My parents laughed as I dragged them from one spot to another, insisting on yet another photo.
What struck me most were the colors. The imperial yellow of the rooftops against the deep red walls looked brighter than any picture could show. Even the stone pathways seemed to glow with centuries of footsteps. I remembered running my fingers along a carved marble railing, wondering how many hands had touched that same spot over six hundred years.
The place was packed with tourists, all murmuring in different languages, their faces filled with the same amazement as mine. Some pointed at the architecture, others posed for pictures, and a few just stood quietly, taking it all in. The energy was infectious — everyone seemed to feel the magic of this ancient place.
As the afternoon wore on, we followed the crowd toward the exit. The sea of people was overwhelming, and I, being small for my age, grasped my father's hand tightly, afraid to get lost in the rushing crowd. The noise, the heat, and the excitement made everything feel like a blur — until suddenly, I looked down at the large hand I was holding — the wrong watch, the wrong-colored ring.
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。
My blood turned to ice.

There he was, just three people away.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
My blood turned to ice. My heart pounded violently when I realized I was holding a stranger’s hand. I looked up at the man — he had kind eyes and a gentle smile. “Are you lost?” he asked, crouching down to my height. I nodded, fighting back tears. Without hesitation, he asked a nearby guard for help, describing my parents and keeping me calm. Though he was a stranger, his patience and warmth made the terrifying moment feel a little safer. Then I heard Dad’s voice calling my name.
There he was, just three people away. He came rushing toward me through the crowd, his face pale with worry. The second he saw me, his shoulders relaxed, and he pulled me into a tight hug. He thanked the kind stranger again and again, his voice shaking. As we walked away, I glanced back at the man, already lost in the crowd. That day, I learned something — Beijing’s beauty wasn’t just in its golden rooftops or ancient walls, but in people like him, who stopped to help a scared little child.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者十岁时,父母告知要去中国度暑假,作者满心期待。终于来到北京,在参观故宫时被其宏伟壮丽深深震撼,然而在下午随人群往出口走时,因人群拥挤作者错牵了陌生人的手而与父母走散的故事。

Chiara Beer suffered a serious stroke (中风) as a baby, which left her with the use of only one hand. After overcoming the inconvenience brought about by the stroke, she began to post videos on the Internet to show people how she lives with only one working hand and encourage other stroke survivors to become more independent.
When Chiara was younger, she was unable to find anyone else to turn to. And she found there was a huge lack of resources about strokes, particularly among young people. Besides, she used to get many questions like how she did her hair with one hand and things like that. Then she decided to start sharing some content on social media.
She shared her own story of stroke survival and showed her followers her daily life. For example, she has shown them how she drives a specially adapted car and how technology helps her to read and write. Chiara said, “I wanted to help raise awareness about young people who suffered strokes and help them to find a way to be able to overcome their limitations.”
Chiara’s viewers have made many heartening comments on her videos. She received a lot of love and support from them. They thanked her for showing them how to become a little more independent. “My baby girl has had a stroke. Chiara’s videos give me hope that she can be independent one day. I think the hope that Chiara is bringing to people is immeasurable,” a woman said.
More recently, Chiara’s work was discovered by a charity which supports stroke survivors. Lauren Hartney, part of the charity, said, “The main focus of our charity is peer support. A lot of the staff and volunteers are stroke survivors themselves or they have a close personal connection to strokes. They use those personal experiences to help other people who are going through the illness. So when I first came across Chiara’s videos, I knew immediately she would be the perfect one to represent the charity.” Chiara is now working with the charity to help more people.
4. For what did Chiara get the idea of sharing her life online?
A. To become famous on social media.

New research led by Brian Meier, a professor of psychology, provides convincing evidence of humans’ deep-seated preference for products labeled as “natural”, demonstrating how this bias (偏见) significantly influences real-world decision-making even when potential risks are involved.
Prior studies have shown that the bias extends across various fields. However, many of them relied on self-reported preferences in hypothetical scenarios (假设情景), leaving a gap in our understanding of how the bias influences actual behavior. Therefore, Brian and his colleagues conducted three experiments to test participants’ choices and performances in different contexts.
The first experiment involved 174 college students who were led to believe they were testing a strength-enhancing drink described as either natural or synthetic (合成的). When asked to choose between the two options before repeating a strength test, an overwhelming 84% selected the natural-labeled drink, despite both being identical water samples.
In the second experiment, 98 students were offered chocolate described as containing either natural or synthetic cocoa, with researchers introducing an element of risk by mentioning potential stomach discomfort. Remarkably, 84% still chose the natural option, maintaining their preference even when facing possible negative effects.
The third experiment extended the research beyond laboratory settings, approaching 200 passers-by on a street. Participants evaluated stickers described as using natural or synthetic ink, then selected one to keep. Results showed 66% preferred natural-labeled stickers, which they also rated as higher quality and more appealing than the synthetic ones.
“The vast majority of subjects exhibited a clear behavioral preference that was influenced solely by the ‘natural’ label across all three experimental contexts,” Meier stated. The research, which spanned diverse settings and product categories, yielded remarkably consistent results, strongly confirming the profound impact of naturalness branding on consumer decision-making.
Based on these convincing findings, Meier and his research team have outlined several promising avenues for further investigation. Their future work aims to dive deeper into the underlying cognitive and emotional mechanisms of this “naturalness bias”, unlocking its potential applications in strategic marketing and public policy making.
8. How did Brian Meier’s research differ from earlier studies on naturalness bias?
A. It explored completely new fields. B. It repeated experiments for accuracy.
C. It tested people in real-life situations. D. It focused more on data comparison.
9. What can be inferred from the three experiments?
A. Risks lower the preference. B. The bias depends on product type.
C. The synthetic option tasted better. D. The bias works despite no real difference.
10. What is a possible future research direction for the team?
A. Behavioral bias. B. Consumer behavior.
C. Product labeling strategies. D. Hidden psychological mechanisms.
11. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. The Power of “Natural”: How Labels Shape Our Decisions
B. The Risks of Natural Products: A Psychological Analysis
C. Natural VS Synthetic: Consumer Choices in Everyday Life
D. Beyond the Label: New Research in Consumer Psychology

A recent review of numerous studies reveals that childhood exposure to chemicals in common plastic household items poses significant and lasting health risks, extending well into adulthood. Published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, the findings highlight particular concern for three classes of chemicals: Caliphates (making plastic flexible), Biospheres (providing rigidity), and PFAS (resisting heat and water).
The research, which analyzed data from thousands of pregnant mothers, fetuses (胎), and children, links these chemicals to a range of long-term health issues. These include heart disease, obesity, infertility, and asthma, Experts explain that these substances can derange hormone (激素) function and trigger body-wide inflammation (炎症). Furthermore, early-life exposure is associated with neuro developmental problems like autism (孤独症) and ADHD, as well as IQ loss.
These chemicals arc widespread, found in food packaging, cosmetics, and even paper receipts. As plastics are used, heated, or washed, cytoplasmic and antiparticle arc released and become absorbed.
The review also suggests practical solutions. Parents can reduce exposure by switching to glass or stainless-steel containers and avoiding microwaving or dish washing plastic. Healthcare providers are encouraged to guide families toward safer choices.
At a policy level, researchers call for stricter regulations, especially for nonessential plastics. This urgency is supported by the ongoing negotiations for the UN Global Plastics Treaty, which aims to establish legally binding limits on plastic production. According to Trasande, the findings in the article support the urgent need for a strong agreement to help protect not only the environment but human health as well.
He notes that while the economic value of the plastics industry is commonly raised as a barrier to carrying out regulations, the resulting health care costs from exposure are enormous, with his research estimates reaching roughly $250 billion per year in the United States alone.
However, the researchers clarify that their findings do not challenge the essential, life-saving uses of plastic in medical settings, such as in ventilators (通风设备) for premature infants or neutralizers for asthmatic children. The concern lies primarily with unnecessary use outside of healthcare.
12. The underlined word “derange” in the paragraph 2 most probably means ______.
A. Disturb B. regulate
C. ignore D. fulfill
13. According to the passage, which is NOT the measure to reduce plastic exposure?
A. Making policies to limit nonessential plastics.
B. Launching campaigns to recycle plastic bottles.
C. Avoiding microwaving and dish washing plastic.
D. Replacing plastic containers with glass or stainless steel.
14. What is Dr. Trasande’s attitude towards plastics regulation?
A. Objective. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Neutral.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To call for a total ban on plastic production.
B. To stress the essential role of plastics in medicine.
C. To reveal risks of plastic exposure and urge actions.
D. To assess the economic cost of plastic-related diseases.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Are you able to cook a healthy meal? Are you able to manage your money well? Are you able to sew on a button? ___16___ This highlights a significant gap in modern education, which heavily prioritizes academic achievement and strict testing, often at the expense of practical life skills.
Schools have done well in preparing us to be academic achievers in school, but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills. ___17___ For those without these basic skills, the pandemic lockdown was a rude shock. With restaurants closed and home services stopped, it would have been satisfying to cook a meal or fix a light bulb. It’s a shame that schools produce scholarly individuals who are unprepared for simple home tasks.
___18___ For example, financial management fosters responsibility and caution, while lessons on investment teach wealth growth. Equipped with this literacy, students can better discuss financial goals with parents, and budgeting knowledge can steer them away from overspending. Thus, in our complex world, schools must teach beyond academic subjects.
After all, all the responsibility cannot be transferred to the home. The argument for parents teaching practical life skills overlooks modern realities. Many working parents lack the time, and some may not possess the proficiency themselves. ___19___.
Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it appropriately: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” School is not simply a place to pass knowledge and prepare us for a career. ___20___
A. Thus, a balanced approach is needed early on.
B. For instance, many communities offer evening classes for adults.
C. Instead, it equips us with the wisdom to construct a fulfilling life.
D. Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions.
E. Consequently, the central role in bridging this gap must fall to our schools.
F. By integrating practical skills, schools can teach a more complete set of life values.
G. Yet practical skills such as cooking and housekeeping are essential in the real world.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was ten, my parents told me we were going to China for our summer holiday. I was over the moon — I had only ever seen the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in books, and now I would actually get to walk through history!
For weeks, I imagined the towering palaces, the red-and-gold gates, and the stories hidden in every corner. Finally, the day arrived, and there I was, standing in the heart of Beijing, staring up at the most magnificent buildings I had ever seen.
The Forbidden City was even more incredible in real life. The golden roofs shone under the sun, the delicate carvings told silent tales of emperors and warriors, and the vast courtyards made me feel like I had stepped into a fairy tale. Every turn revealed something new — a dragon statue, a marble staircase, a hidden garden — and I couldn’t stop taking pictures, desperate to capture every detail. My parents laughed as I dragged them from one spot to another, insisting on yet another photo.
What struck me most were the colors. The imperial yellow of the rooftops against the deep red walls looked brighter than any picture could show. Even the stone pathways seemed to glow with centuries of footsteps. I remembered running my fingers along a carved marble railing, wondering how many hands had touched that same spot over six hundred years.
The place was packed with tourists, all murmuring in different languages, their faces filled with the same amazement as mine. Some pointed at the architecture, others posed for pictures, and a few just stood quietly, taking it all in. The energy was infectious — everyone seemed to feel the magic of this ancient place.
As the afternoon wore on, we followed the crowd toward the exit. The sea of people was overwhelming, and I, being small for my age, grasped my father's hand tightly, afraid to get lost in the rushing crowd. The noise, the heat, and the excitement made everything feel like a blur — until suddenly, I looked down at the large hand I was holding — the wrong watch, the wrong-colored ring.
