To ensure your take-home BBQ is as delicious at home as it is here, just follow these quick tips! Wrapped Reheating Leave the meat wrapped in foil (锡纸) or plastic wrap as you received it before reheating. It’s fine to use plastic wrap up to 250°F. To keep your BBQ warm for a few hours, set your oven (烤箱) to 170°F and leave the meat wrapped. If the meat is frozen, defrost it completely before reheating. Always leave it wrapped or tightly wrap the meat before reheating. For sliced meats, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and reheat at 170°F in the oven. For small amounts, wrap very tightly and reheat for 25 — 30 seconds in the microwave. Grill (烤架) Reheating Light only one side of the grill. Place the meat on the opposite side of the fire. (Use foil only, no plastic wrap. ) Reheating Time ● Whole Turkey Breast: 30 minutes per pound ● Whole Beef Breast / Beef Ribs: 45 minutes per pound (no more than 3.5 hours) ● Chicken: 1 hour per whole chicken ● Sausage: 45 minutes ● Pulled Pork or Ground Beef: 25 minutes. Use a double boiler or a closed container in the oven, and remember to mix halfway through heating. Slicing and Cutting Instructions When slicing Beef Chest, sharpen your knife. Ensure the beef is fat side / bark side up. Slice slowly without tearing the bark. Slice against the grain. 1. What is a must-do for reheating the BBQ taken home? A. Unfreezing it completely. B. Keeping it tightly wrapped. C. Setting the oven temperature to 250°F. D. Reheating it in a microwave. 2. Which of the following takes the shortest reheating time? A. Sausages. B. A whole chicken. C. Beef Ribs. D. Pulled pork. 3. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To instruct. B. To advertise. C. To analyse. D. To comment. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。本文是CorkScrew BBQ给出的加热食物的说明和切割说明。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Wrapped Reheating下的“If the meat is frozen, defrost it completely before reheating. Always leave it wrapped or tightly wrap the meat before reheating.(如果肉类是冷冻的，请在加热前彻底解冻。加热前一定要保持其包裹状态或将其紧紧包裹起来)”可知，加热前一定要保持其包裹状态或将其紧紧包裹起来。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Reheating Time下的“Whole Turkey Breast: 30 minutes per pound(全火鸡胸肉：每磅30分钟)”，“Whole Beef Breast / Beef Ribs: 45 minutes per pound (no more than 3.5 hours)(全牛胸/牛排骨：每磅45分钟（不超过3.5小时）)”，“Chicken: 1 hour per whole chicken(鸡肉：每只鸡1小时)”以及“Sausage: 45 minutes(香肠：45分钟)”和“Pulled Pork or Ground Beef: 25 minutes. Use a double boiler or a closed container in the oven, and remember to mix halfway through heating.(手撕猪肉或牛肉末：加热25分钟。使用双层蒸锅或烤箱中的密闭容器，并记得在加热到一半时搅拌一下)”可知，手撕猪肉加热时间最短。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Welcome to CorkScrew BBQ! To ensure your take-home BBQ is as delicious at home as it is here, just follow these quick tips!(欢迎光临CorkScrew BBQ！为了确保您带回家烧烤美食在家品尝时和在店里一样美味，请遵循以下快速指南！)”可知，本文的目的是指导如何烹饪食物。故选A项。 B Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 4. What may cause an opportunity cost? A. Spending time on worthy activities. B. Joining in social meetings actively. C. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D. Doing physical exercises efficiently. 5. Why does the author mention David’s observations? A. To praise a wise philosopher. B. To teach readers football skills. C. To cite a case of overthinking. D. To argue for reflective thinking. 6. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach. C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details. 7. What is a suitable title for this text? A. The Risk of Overthinking B. The Key to Well-being C. The Way to Think Reflectively D. The Method to Develop Yourself 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. (坐下来思考什么能让我们快乐比追求让我们快乐的事情效率低得多，如果我们想得太多，就会有机会成本——我们本可以花在有价值的活动上的时间，而我们却在深入思考最好的发展方式)”可知，困于过度的自我反思会导致机会成本，故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. (他的一个观察是，虽然运动员需要思考他们正在执行的基本动作，但开始思考构成这些动作的元素可能会适得其反)”可推知，作者提到David的观察是为了举例说明过度思考的劣势。故选C。 6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 “What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. (我们需要的是一种对情况的自动响应)”可知，作者建议读者采取一个直接的方法来达成目标。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.(但是，当我们思考自己的幸福以及是什么让我们的生活变得美好时，这种反思的态度似乎真的会破坏我们找到我们所寻求的东西的机会)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。由此可知，A项“过度思考的风险”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 C Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of. My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature reached 113 degrees, a bit warm for my tiny princess self. Medic, medic! So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness, with damaged children both young and grown. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends-even thoughts of them-are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 8. What does the author think of her present life? A. She enjoys making new friends. B. She feels more struggles over aging process. C. She finds it challenging to handle family crises. D. She wants others to learn from her life experiences. 9. What message does the story of the sparrow convey? A. Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time. B. Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world. C. Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result. D. Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems. 10. Which of the following can best describe Neshama? A. Healthy and cautious. B. Caring and responsible. C. Cooperative and modest. D. Educated and committed. 11. What does the author suggest about the meaning of life in older age? A. Love and acts of service bring true richness in life. B. Happiness is achieved through love, rather than wealth. C. Health and. independence are definitely the ultimate goals. D. True richness comes from love, service, and achievements. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述了作者和丈夫在埃及的经历、与老朋友在海滩上散步的情景，以及通过讲述马和麻雀的故事来表达自己对生活、友情、年龄和努力的看法，强调友情、爱和服务的力量超越物质追求。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? (人生的游戏很艰难，我们很多人都在带着伤痛前行。我为这个世界感到心痛，但自然而然地，我更多的是在关注自己的内心世界，在那里，平衡与力量正开始消逝。当我们步入老年，就像老旧的电梯缓缓下降，我们能做些什么呢？)”可知，作者觉得生活艰难，随着年龄增长面临诸多困扰，也就是在衰老过程中有更多挣扎。所以她觉得自己当下的生活是她感觉在衰老过程中有更多挣扎。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. (马大笑起来，“这太有趣了。你有多重呢？”麻雀回答说：“一个人能做什么就做什么。”这就是衰老的意义；我们做自己力所能及的事。)”可知，文中提到麻雀的故事，麻雀虽小却努力想要阻挡黑暗，回应马的质疑时所说的话，意在传达不管行动看起来多么微不足道，每一个小行动都是有意义、有价值的，都很重要。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” (她今年84岁，个子不高但很结实。每隔一会儿，她就会有些犹豫地弯下腰，把小东西捡起放进一个小布袋里。“你在做什么？”“我在捡拾微小垃圾。我尽量在力所能及的地方帮忙。”)”可知，84 岁的Neshama会去捡微小的垃圾，尽力在自己能做到的地方提供帮助，这体现了她关心环境、有责任感、乐于奉献的品质，所以可以用有爱心且负责任来形容她。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. (到了某个年龄，我们就知道我们生活中的伟大之处——如果你做到了或做到了这一点或那一点，你就会幸福而富有。不，爱和服务使我们富有。)”可知，作者认为在老年阶段，爱和服务才会让我们的人生真正富有，也就是生命的意义在于此。故选A项。 D A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profound human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery. In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry (织锦) that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 12. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A. To promote the language software. B. To show off his Chinese language skills. C. To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D. To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. AI translation deserves more attention. B. Language apps play a key role in marketing. C. Language translation is far beyond technology. D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 14. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A. Better digital literacy. B. Improved translation skills. C. Deeper cultural confidence. D. Effective intercultural interaction. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. AI language tools offer convenience. B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能语言工具的便利性与语言学习的文化深度之间的差异，作者引导我们对人工智能语言工具进行批判性思考然后得出结论：人工智能在帮助语言理解方面远非完美。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. ‘My favorite food is sushi,’ I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi.(几天前，我看了一段我自己说一口流利汉语的视频。我断断续续地学习这门语言才几年，还远谈不上流利。但我就这样，每个字的发音就像母语人士一样。‘我最喜欢的食物是寿司，’我说——我最喜欢吃寿司。)”以及下文，尤其是最后一段中“In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning.(从本质上讲，虽然人工智能语言工具提供了便利，但它们缺乏人类语言学习所带来的深度和文化洞察力。)”可知，文章第一段以作者自己的体验引出AI语言工具，然后鼓励对AI语言工具进行批判性思考。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience.(然而，语言翻译是一门艺术，而不是一门科学。为了换取这种便利，将失去一些巨大的东西。)”以及“Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,(在广泛不同的语言（如中文和英文）之间建立一个阶梯，有时就像医生在病人心中架起一座桥梁一样困难，)”可知，语言翻译并不是技术能解决的问题，它远远超出了技术范畴。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of Al, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. (语言教授黛博拉·科恩强调，语言学习实际上是关于理解和联系不同的文化；一些教育工作者主张强调语言学习的跨文化方面，而不是放弃语言课程而选择人工智能。)”可知，学习语言的主要好处是有效的跨文化互动。故选D项。 15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry(织锦)that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve.(本质上，虽然人工智能语言工具提供了便利，但它们缺乏人类语言学习的深度和文化洞察力。学习一门语言的挑战和美妙之处在于理解通过单词编织的文化挂毯，这是人工智能尚未实现的。)”可知，作者在最后一段表明人工智能在帮助语言理解方面远非完美，因为人工智能语言工具缺乏人类语言学习的深度和文化洞察力。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。 Strength training is having a moment. Planet Fitness, one of America’s biggest gym chains, is cutting back on treadmills (跑步机) in favor of power cages. Gym trends come and go. ____16____ They have for many years been trying to persuade the public that it is good to be not only fit but strong. In 2010 the World Health Organization added a recommendation of two sessions of muscle-strengthening exercise a week to its exercise guidelines. ____17____ Japan, for example, updated its advice in 2024. ____18____ It lowers blood pressure and cuts the risk of heart disease, strokes and some kinds of cancer. Strength exercise offers many of the same benefits. And it also helps regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), keep blood sugar steady, and maintain healthy fat levels. Much of the medical interest in strength exercise, though, comes from its ability to prevent, or treat, sarcopenia (肌肉减少症). This is the decline in strength and muscle size that accompanies ageing. The body’s muscles naturally begin to reduce in one’s 30s. ____19____ Lack of muscle increases the risk of falls, a big killer of the elderly. With the world ageing rapidly, sarcopenia is only going to become a bigger problem. Though some degree of physical decline is unavoidable with age, evidence suggests that, even for people in their 80s, a bit of pumping iron can work wonders. As so often in medicine, it is better to prevent a disease from taking hold in the first place than to try to cure it afterwards. ____20____ A. Strength training is calling. B. It may even help treat depression. C. Many governments have followed suit. D. That process gathers pace in a person’s 60s and 70s. E. There’s no doubt cardio such as jogging is good for you. F. But the rise of pumping iron will be welcomed by doctors. G. Sarcopenia also makes it harder to recover from injuries and illness. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了力量训练的兴起及其健康益处，包括预防与治疗肌肉减少症，适合各年龄段，特别是老年人。 【16题详解】 上文“Gym trends come and go. (健身潮流来来去去)”描述了健身潮流的变化，下文“They have for many years been trying to persuade the public that it is good to be not only fit but strong. (多年来，他们一直试图说服公众，不仅要健康，还要强壮是有好处的)”提到有人一直努力引导公众重视强壮的好处，因此空处应体现尽管潮流变化，但力量训练仍受推崇。F选项“But the rise of pumping iron will be welcomed by doctors. (但举铁运动的兴起会受到医生的欢迎)”中“the rise of pumping iron”承接上文健身潮流，“will be welcomed by doctors”与下文“trying to persuade the public”相呼应，说明医生对力量训练兴起的态度，起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 上文“In 2010 the World Health Organization added a recommendation of two sessions of muscle-strengthening exercise a week to its exercise guidelines. (2010 年，世界卫生组织在其运动指南中增加了每周进行两次肌肉强化锻炼的建议)”指出世卫组织的举措，下文“Japan, for example, updated its advice in 2024. (例如，日本在2024年更新了建议)”以日本为例说明其他国家的行动，空处承上启下，C选项“Many governments have followed suit. (许多政府都纷纷效仿)”中“Many governments”涵盖了下文的“Japan”，“followed suit”与上文世卫组织的建议以及下文日本的更新建议相呼应，说明很多国家对世卫组织建议的响应，符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 下文“It lowers blood pressure and cuts the risk of heart disease, strokes and some kinds of cancer. (它能降低血压，降低患心脏病、中风和某些癌症的风险)”介绍了某种运动的好处，空处需引出下文，E选项“There’s no doubt cardio such as jogging is good for you. (毫无疑问，像慢跑这样的有氧运动对你有好处)”中“such as jogging”表明了有氧运动的例子，“is good for you”与下文介绍的运动好处相呼应，引出下文对有氧运动好处的阐述，符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 上文“The body’s muscles naturally begin to reduce in one’s 30s. (人体的肌肉从30多岁开始自然减少)”描述了肌肉减少的起始阶段，下文“Lack of muscle increases the risk of falls, a big killer of the elderly. (肌肉缺乏会增加摔倒的风险，这是老年人的一大杀手)”说明了肌肉缺乏对老年人的危害。D选项“That process gathers pace in a person’s 60s and 70s. (这个过程在一个人六七十岁时会加快)”中“That process”指代上文肌肉减少的过程，“in a person’s 60s and 70s”与下文“the elderly”相呼应，进一步解释肌肉流失的年龄相关性，符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 上文“Though some degree of physical decline is unavoidable with age, evidence suggests that, even for people in their 80s, a bit of pumping iron can work wonders. As so often in medicine, it is better to prevent a disease from taking hold in the first place than to try to cure it afterwards. (尽管随着年龄的增长，一定程度的身体机能衰退是不可避免的，但有证据表明，即使对于八十多岁的人来说，进行一些力量训练也能创造奇迹。就像医学领域中常见的情况一样，与其事后努力治愈疾病，不如一开始就预防疾病的发生)”强调了力量训练对老年人的作用，空处需总结或呼吁行动，A选项“Strength training is calling. (力量训练在召唤)”中“Strength training”与上文“a bit of pumping iron”对应，“is calling”总结上文力量训练对老年人的好处，以号召性语言结尾，强调力量训练的必要性，符合语境。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题1分,满分 15 分) I met Fred, a delicate stone worker, while he was building a rock wall.

As young children, they were best friends. Anne admired her big brother and tried to keep up with him in every aspect. She cried when Erick started kindergarten. Erick in turn looked out for his little sister when she started school. They played together, usually with cars and toy drivers, but sometimes Barbie dolls would join in. But when junior high and senior high school set in, adolescence (青春期) and sibling rivalry (同胞争宠) between them changed their once close relationship. They hardly acknowledged each other, even though they were in some of the same activities. They could hardly get along. Once Anne was in college, things began to improve. Maybe it helped that they were at different schools. Both had grown up and the rivalry was less intense. At home during college breaks, they laughed and played together again. Slowly they were coming back together as friends. College graduation came, and Erick moved out to begin his career. It was sad for all of us, especially for Anne. Two years later, we all looked forward to Anne's college graduation. In a conversation about this one day, Erick brought up the subject of a graduation gift for Anne. My husband Rick and I had thought of upgrading some features of her car, since the car was pretty basic and several years old. Erick had a different idea. He knew Anne would go to graduate school in another state and wanted her to have a reliable car. His suggestion was to upgrade the gift to a new car. We couldn't believe our ears. This elder brother who didn't acknowledge his sister in high school wanted to surprise Anne with a new car at her college graduation! We agreed with the suggestion after getting over our first shock at it. 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。 “But you need to pay at least a third of the money for the new car,” we joked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Erick handed Anne a box, where a car key was hidden. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 “But you need to pay at least a third of the money for the new car,” we joked. Erick smiled, telling us he’d use his earnings to pay half of the cost. We were amazed. Then, during the next few weeks, Rick secretly test-drove cars. The plan was completely hidden from Anne until the big graduation day. When the day arrived, we all attended her graduation ceremony. After the ceremony, our family of four began walking out of the school. The time came for the gift to be opened. Erick handed Anne a box, where a car key was hidden. Anne happily took the box but was disappointed to find only a bottle of car-glass-cleaning liquid inside. “Erick, a terrible gift!” she said and then laughed. Her brother looked upset and spoke quietly, “Keep looking.” Anne dug around in the box and found the key, shocked. “This is the key to your new car,” Erick smiled. “Thanks!” Anne’s face lit up. She rushed outside, finding a beautiful red car! Even till today, Anne still values this car. It means a lot to her and her big brother. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者儿子Erick想在妹妹Anne大学毕业典礼上送她一辆新车，给她一个惊喜。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘但你需要为新车支付至少三分之一的钱，’我们开玩笑说。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Erick出了一部分钱给妹妹买车。 ②由第二段首句内容“Erick递给Anne一个盒子，里面藏着一把车钥匙。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Anne看到自己的礼物变得非常高兴。 2.续写线索： Erick出一半钱——给妹妹选车—— Anne对礼物感到高兴——珍惜此礼物 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.参加： attend/take part in/participate in ②.打开：open /unfold ③.说：say/utter 情绪类 ①.惊讶的：surprised/astonished/amazed/astounded ②.高兴地：happily/delightedly/merrily 【点睛】[高分句型1].

To ensure your take-home BBQ is as delicious at home as it is here, just follow these quick tips! Wrapped Reheating Leave the meat wrapped in foil (锡纸) or plastic wrap as you received it before reheating. It’s fine to use plastic wrap up to 250°F. To keep your BBQ warm for a few hours, set your oven (烤箱) to 170°F and leave the meat wrapped. If the meat is frozen, defrost it completely before reheating. Always leave it wrapped or tightly wrap the meat before reheating. For sliced meats, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and reheat at 170°F in the oven. For small amounts, wrap very tightly and reheat for 25 — 30 seconds in the microwave. Grill (烤架) Reheating Light only one side of the grill. Place the meat on the opposite side of the fire. (Use foil only, no plastic wrap. ) Reheating Time ● Whole Turkey Breast: 30 minutes per pound ● Whole Beef Breast / Beef Ribs: 45 minutes per pound (no more than 3.5 hours) ● Chicken: 1 hour per whole chicken ● Sausage: 45 minutes ● Pulled Pork or Ground Beef: 25 minutes. Use a double boiler or a closed container in the oven, and remember to mix halfway through heating. Slicing and Cutting Instructions When slicing Beef Chest, sharpen your knife. Ensure the beef is fat side / bark side up. Slice slowly without tearing the bark. Slice against the grain. 1. What is a must-do for reheating the BBQ taken home? A. Unfreezing it completely. B. Keeping it tightly wrapped. C. Setting the oven temperature to 250°F. D. Reheating it in a microwave. 2. Which of the following takes the shortest reheating time? A. Sausages. B. A whole chicken. C. Beef Ribs. D. Pulled pork. 3. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To instruct. B. To advertise. C. To analyse. D. To comment. B Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 4. What may cause an opportunity cost? A. Spending time on worthy activities. B. Joining in social meetings actively. C. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D. Doing physical exercises efficiently. 5. Why does the author mention David’s observations? A. To praise a wise philosopher. B. To teach readers football skills. C. To cite a case of overthinking. D. To argue for reflective thinking. 6. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach. C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details. 7. What is a suitable title for this text? A. The Risk of Overthinking B. The Key to Well-being C. The Way to Think Reflectively D. The Method to Develop Yourself C Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of. My husband and I were recently in Egypt where the temperature reached 113 degrees, a bit warm for my tiny princess self. Medic, medic! So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness, with damaged children both young and grown. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends-even thoughts of them-are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 8. What does the author think of her present life? A. She enjoys making new friends. B. She feels more struggles over aging process. C. She finds it challenging to handle family crises. D. She wants others to learn from her life experiences. 9. What message does the story of the sparrow convey? A. Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time. B. Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world. C. Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result. D. Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems. 10. Which of the following can best describe Neshama? A. Healthy and cautious. B. Caring and responsible. C. Cooperative and modest. D. Educated and committed. 11. What does the author suggest about the meaning of life in older age? A. Love and acts of service bring true richness in life. B. Happiness is achieved through love, rather than wealth. C. Health and. independence are definitely the ultimate goals. D. True richness comes from love, service, and achievements. D A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profound human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning.

Planet Fitness, one of America’s biggest gym chains, is cutting back on treadmills (跑步机) in favor of power cages. Gym trends come and go. ____16____ They have for many years been trying to persuade the public that it is good to be not only fit but strong. In 2010 the World Health Organization added a recommendation of two sessions of muscle-strengthening exercise a week to its exercise guidelines. ____17____ Japan, for example, updated its advice in 2024. ____18____ It lowers blood pressure and cuts the risk of heart disease strokes and some kinds of cancer. Strength exercise offers many of the same benefits. And it also helps regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), keep blood sugar steady, and maintain healthy fat levels. Much of the medical interest in strength exercise, though, comes from its ability to prevent, or treat, sarcopenia (肌肉减少症). This is the decline in strength and muscle size that accompanies ageing. The body’s muscles naturally begin to reduce in one’s 30s. ____19____ Lack of muscle increases the risk of falls, a big killer of the elderly. With the world ageing rapidly, sarcopenia is only going to become a bigger problem. Though some degree of physical decline is unavoidable with age, evidence suggests that, even for people in their 80s, a bit of pumping iron can work wonders. As so often in medicine, it is better to prevent a disease from taking hold in the first place than to try to cure it afterwards. ____20____ A. Strength training is calling. B. It may even help treat depression. C. Many governments have followed suit. D. That process gathers pace in a person’s 60s and 70s. E. There’s no doubt cardio such as jogging is good for you. F. But the rise of pumping iron will be welcomed by doctors. G. Sarcopenia also makes it harder to recover from injuries and illness. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题1分,满分 15 分) I met Fred, a delicate stone worker, while he was building a rock wall.

Fred knew what many of us have yet to ____35____ — take the hard things in life and break them down into something we can manage — one piece at a time. 21.

As young children, they were best friends. Anne admired her big brother and tried to keep up with him in every aspect. She cried when Erick started kindergarten. Erick in turn looked out for his little sister when she started school. They played together, usually with cars and toy drivers, but sometimes Barbie dolls would join in. But when junior high and senior high school set in, adolescence (青春期) and sibling rivalry (同胞争宠) between them changed their once close relationship. They hardly acknowledged each other, even though they were in some of the same activities. They could hardly get along. Once Anne was in college, things began to improve. Maybe it helped that they were at different schools. Both had grown up and the rivalry was less intense. At home during college breaks, they laughed and played together again. Slowly they were coming back together as friends. College graduation came, and Erick moved out to begin his career. It was sad for all of us, especially for Anne. Two years later, we all looked forward to Anne's college graduation. In a conversation about this one day, Erick brought up the subject of a graduation gift for Anne. My husband Rick and I had thought of upgrading some features of her car, since the car was pretty basic and several years old. Erick had a different idea. He knew Anne would go to graduate school in another state and wanted her to have a reliable car. His suggestion was to upgrade the gift to a new car. We couldn't believe our ears. This elder brother who didn't acknowledge his sister in high school wanted to surprise Anne with a new car at her college graduation! We agreed with the suggestion after getting over our first shock at it. 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。 “But you need to pay at least a third of the money for the new car,” we joked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Erick handed Anne a box, where a car key was hidden. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
