He and his staff find stray (流浪的) dogs and cats, or those that have been mistreated, and take them to the shelter — a role he has served for 29 years. Tortola is the only island in the region with an animal shelter, so Bissoondutt helps rescue dogs and cats from the other islands, too. Bissoondutt’s connection to animals began early. He grew up on a farm with goats, ducks, and chickens, and started visiting the animal shelter at around 8 years old. Now he takes care of the animals by feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of exercise. When someone wants to adopt a dog or cat, it’s Bissoondutt’s job to teach them how to be a good pet owner. For example, it’s very hot in the Caribbean, so it’s important for pets to have plenty of water and a shady place to rest. “It’s a challenge,” he says. “We let people know that it is important to have your animal get their yearly vaccination (接种疫苗), and the right diet. If it’s going to live outside, it must have food, water, and shelter. It needs to see the vet regularly, and exercise is very important. A dog that doesn’t exercise can be very bored and will probably start tearing up the house.” Bissoondutt also states that it is a very passionate job which has to come from the heart. One can not simply decide to take care of animals, as it involves many challenges. He emphasizes that an animal is not just a dog or a cat, but a being with its own life and feelings, deserving the same sympathy as humans. Despite the difficulties of running the shelter, Bissoondutt finds it rewarding. He feels great happiness in knowing he saves lives by taking dogs off the streets and giving them a second chance. For him, a wagging tail makes it all worthwhile. 4. What explains Bissoondutt’s fitness for his job? A. Willingness to work on all islands. B. Owning a farm with many animals. C. Long-term commitment to animals. D. Professional animal medical training. 5. What does Bissoondutt emphasize about the job of caring for animals? A. It is challenging but fun for everyone. B. It requires passion and dedication. C. It should be done only by professionals. D. It is mainly about feeding and cleaning. 6. What makes Bissoondutt feel fulfilling about his work? A. Removing loose dogs from the streets. B. Sharing personal happiness from work. C. Overcoming shelter running difficulties. D. Giving animals a second chance at life. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To profile somebody. B. To illustrate something. C. To instruct somebody. D. To advertise something. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Vijay Bissoondutt照顾动物、管理收容所的事迹。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Vijay Bissoondutt manages the BVI Humane Society animal shelter on Tortola, the biggest island in the British Virgin Islands. He and his staff find stray (流浪的) dogs and cats, or those that have been mistreated, and take them to the shelter — a role he has served for 29 years.(Vijay Bissoondutt在英属维尔京群岛最大的岛屿 —— 托尔托拉岛管理着英属维尔京群岛动物保护协会的动物收容所。他和同事们寻找流浪的猫狗，或是遭受虐待的猫狗，并把它们带回收容所 —— 这份工作他已经做了29年。)”以及第二段中“Bissoondutt’s connection to animals began early.(比松杜特与动物的渊源很早就开始了)”可知，他长期致力于关爱动物，这使他能胜任这份工作。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Bissoondutt also states that it is a very passionate job which has to come from the heart. One can not simply decide to take care of animals, as it involves many challenges.(Bissoondutt还表示，这是一份充满激情的工作，必须发自内心。人们不能简单地决定照顾动物，因为这涉及许多挑战。)”可知，Bissoondutt强调照顾动物的工作需要激情和奉献精神。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“He feels great happiness in knowing he saves lives by taking dogs off the streets and giving them a second chance.(他知道通过把狗从街上带走并给它们第二次生命的机会来拯救生命，他感到非常幸福。)”可知，让Bissoondutt觉得他的工作有成就感的是给动物第二次生命的机会。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Vijay Bissoondutt manages the BVI Humane Society animal shelter on Tortola, the biggest island in the British Virgin Islands. He and his staff find stray (流浪的) dogs and cats, or those that have been mistreated, and take them to the shelter — a role he has served for 29 years.(Vijay Bissoondutt在英属维尔京群岛最大的岛屿 —— 托尔托拉岛管理着英属维尔京群岛动物保护协会的动物收容所。他和同事们寻找流浪的猫狗，或是遭受虐待的猫狗，并把它们带回收容所 —— 这份工作他已经做了29年。)”可知，全文介绍了Vijay Bissoondutt的工作、经历、理念和感受，是一篇人物介绍。因此作者的写作目的是介绍一个人。故选A。 C If you have been consuming ultra-processed (超加工) foods (UPFs) like instant noodles or protein bars without checking the ingredients, think again. They contain substances not usually found in a home kitchen, such as protein isolates and modified starches. What stands out as alarming is a recent study showing how UPFs are likely to get you addicted to them like smoking. The “reward circuit” in our brain experiences a sharp increase in dopamine (多巴胺) — the “feel good” chemical. Nicotine (尼古丁) causes this dopamine boost, and UPFs copy that with other methods and materials. Dopamine also signals the brain to “remember” the stuff that gave the pleasure, intensifying urges. According to a Harvard study, UPFs and cigarettes activate the brain’s reward pathway in similar ways. The producers try to make the best of the “doses” to make this happen. UPFs combine refined (精炼的) sugars and fats in amounts not found in nature, which makes them addictive. UPFs are easy to digest, causing the reward system to activate quickly with a dopamine rush. The worst part is how the dopamine system goes less sensitive to usual intakes of UPFs over time, and the brain signals for higher intake to experience the same pleasure. Most of the time, people start to get addicted while consuming in moderation, but as the habit grows, the same amount doesn’t satiate. It pushes individuals to consume more of the stuff and get even more addicted. While smoking tobacco can be stopped, food is necessary for survival. This demands strict rules and safety standard checks because the modern food environment is heavily built upon ready-to-serve UPFs. It is still not known whether the contents of the UPFs cause addictive behavior or the lack of protective phytochemicals, fiber and micronutrients drive it. The distinction is required to decide whether the rules should mirror steps used to reduce tobacco consumption, or require a change in dietary quality of UPFs. 8. What do UPFs and cigarettes have in common? A. Both contain nicotine as a key ingredient. B. Both play a vital role in sustaining life. C. Both boost the brain’s reward network. D. Both are designed to strengthen urges. 9. What can we infer about the dopamine system from Paragraph 3? A. It consistently and rapidly responds to UPFs. B. It is mainly activated because of digestibility. C. It functions separately from the reward circuit. D. It needs more UPFs later for the same pleasure. 10. What does the underlined word “satiate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Shock someone greatly. B. Satisfy a desire fully. C. Change a habit completely. D. Harm one’s health slowly. 11. What remains unknown about UPFs? A. The precise cause of addiction to UPFs. B. The appropriate choice of rules for UPFs. C. The shortage of protective nutrients in UPFs. D. The presence of addictive substances in UPFs. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了超加工食品易使人上瘾及其原因和未知问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“According to a Harvard study, UPFs and cigarettes activate the brain’s reward pathway in similar ways.(哈佛大学的一项研究表明，超加工食品与香烟以相似的方式激活大脑的奖赏通路)”可知，超加工食品和香烟的共同点是都会刺激大脑的奖赏系统。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The worst part is how the dopamine system goes less sensitive to usual intakes of UPFs over time, and the brain signals for higher intake to experience the same pleasure.(最糟糕的是，随着时间推移，多巴胺系统对常规摄入量的超加工食品变得不那么敏感，大脑会发出信号要求摄入更多才能获得同样的愉悦感)”可知，之后需要更多的超加工食品才能获得相同的愉悦感。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Most of the time, people start to get addicted while consuming in moderation, but as the habit grows, the same amount doesn’t satiate. It pushes individuals to consume more of the stuff and get even more addicted.(大多数时候，人们在适量食用时就开始上瘾，但随着习惯养成，同样的量不再能satiate。这会促使人们吃更多，变得更加上瘾)”可知，此处表示同样的量无法再满足欲望，satiate意为“充分满足欲望”。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It is still not known whether the contents of the UPFs cause addictive behavior or the lack of protective phytochemicals, fiber and micronutrients drive it.(目前尚不清楚是超加工食品中的成分导致了成瘾行为，还是缺乏保护性植物化学物质、纤维和微量营养素导致了这种情况)”可知，关于超加工食品，人们仍不清楚其导致成瘾的确切原因。故选A。 D If you’ve ever played a video game, you might be familiar with the idea of a “boss battle”. At the end of a game, you have to fight a huge monster. It’s a big challenge and requires preparation and training to overcome the boss. In many ways, major surgery is something like a boss battle. Going through surgery can be tough. It usually takes months, or even over a year for patients to get back to normal. What if there was a way to train and prepare the body like a video game character? That’s exactly what researchers are now exploring through pre-surgery training. One of the newest approaches comes from a team led by researchers at the Centre de Recherche Saint-Antoine in Paris and Stanford School of Medicine. They developed special, person-specific programmes to train the body through exercise and tailored diets. They also worked on training the mind through meditation (冥想), mindfulness and thinking skills training. Shockingly, the training didn’t just improve patients’ physical and mental outcomes. It changed how their immune systems (免疫系统) were responding to surgery. Almost one-third of all patients undergoing major surgery experience some form of complication (并发症) which may delay recovery, lead to a longer hospital stay, or increase costs. Although personalized treatment with new training sessions might seem like a long shot, it may actually be the most cost-effective option! The training sessions were even remote, suggesting how effective this intervention might be for those who live far away from hospitals, or have limited access to healthcare. This new research emphasises just how important engaging with patients, and even training them, before surgery is. Scientists still don’t know what the long term benefits might be. “After all, this is a complex intervention... It’s not just a tablet,” Franco Carli, a leader in prehabilitation research at McGill University said. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By describing a common experience. B. By comparing major surgery to a game. C. By giving a definition of major surgery. D. By showing the difficulty of two activities. 13. What surprised the researchers most? A. The training programs applied to each patient. B. Personalized diets played a key role in recovery. C. Patients preferred meditation to physical exercise. D. The approach affected patients’ biological functions. 14. What is an advantage of the new training sessions? A. Affordability for patients in severe need. B. Significant reduction in healthcare costs. C. Virtual attendance without hospital visits. D. Complete prevention of all complications. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. “Boss Battle” Win: Future of Surgery B. Pre-surgery Training: Surprising Body Impact C. Thinking Skills: Core of Pre-surgery Preparation D. New Research: Long-term Post-surgery Benefits 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了术前训练对身体有意外积极影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’ve ever played a video game, you might be familiar with the idea of a “boss battle”. At the end of a game, you have to fight a huge monster. It’s a big challenge and requires preparation and training to overcome the boss.(如果你玩过电子游戏，或许对“BOSS战”这个概念并不陌生。在游戏结尾，你必须与一个巨型怪物对战。这是一项巨大的挑战，需要做好准备、反复练习才能打败BOSS。)”以及第二段中“In many ways, major surgery is something like a boss battle.(在很多方面，大手术就像是一场BOSS战。)”可知，作者通过将大型手术比作游戏来引入话题。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Shockingly, the training didn’t just improve patients’ physical and mental outcomes. It changed how their immune systems (免疫系统) were responding to surgery.(令人震惊的是，这种训练不仅改善了患者的身体和精神状况。它改变了他们的免疫系统对手术的反应方式。)”可知，让研究者最意外的是该方法影响了患者的生理机能。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The training sessions were even remote, suggesting how effective this intervention might be for those who live far away from hospitals, or have limited access to healthcare.(这种训练甚至可以远程进行，这表明该干预方式对那些住得离医院远或医疗资源有限的人同样有效。)”可知，新训练课程的优势是可以远程参加，无需去医院。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由第二段“In many ways, major surgery is something like a boss battle. Going through surgery can be tough. It usually takes months, or even over a year for patients to get back to normal. What if there was a way to train and prepare the body like a video game character?(在很多方面，大手术就像是一场BOSS战。经历手术的过程十分艰难，患者通常需要数月甚至一年以上的时间才能恢复正常。假如有一种方法，能让我们像游戏角色一样训练和准备身体，会怎么样呢？)”可知，文章主要介绍了术前训练对患者的身体和免疫系统有令人惊讶的影响，B选项“Pre-surgery Training: Surprising Body Impact(术前训练：令人惊讶的身体影响)”作为标题最合适。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。 Eggs are easy and foolproof to cook — think boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, or simple omelets. But there’s another ingredient that’s almost impossible to overcook and comes in over 10 varieties. With a “meaty” taste and texture, it’s often used in vegetarian dishes (素菜). ____16____ One fascinating thing about cooking mushrooms is how well they stand up to heat, maintaining their structure even after long cooking times. This remarkable heat resistance comes from the mushroom’s cellular make-up containing chitin (几丁质), which allows the mushrooms to stand up to temperatures up to about 380 degrees Celsius. ____17____ This is not the same as what happens to meat or plants. Raw meat protein is soft. ____18____ This creates empty spaces, causing the protein to tighten and become hard and chewy. As for vegetables, the parts that hold their cell walls together, like hemicellulose and pectin, break down when they are heated. Besides that unique structure, another reason why mushrooms can withstand heat for so long is their high water content. Tomatoes are among the vegetables with high water content too, which is why they shrivel up (皱缩) when roasted. ____19____ In fact they are 80-90% water. This feature helps mushrooms cook for a long time without falling apart. As mushrooms are exposed to heat, the water within them begins to steam and leave, preventing the mushrooms from drying out too quickly. Unless you are cooking under extreme circumstances or intentionally mishandling them, it’s nearly impossible to overcook mushrooms. ____20____ Kids, home cooks, and chefs alike can experiment with various cooking techniques without the fear of ruining the dish. A. Mushrooms are no different. B. But long heat removes its water. C. That ingredient is the mushroom. D. Even beginners can cook them successfully. E. It also maintains their shape under high heat. F. This quality makes them perfect for roasting. G. This makes them a forgiving ingredient in the kitchen. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了蘑菇耐热、不易煮过头的原因及其在烹饪中的优势。 【16题详解】 由上文“But there’s another ingredient that’s almost impossible to overcook and comes in over 10 varieties.

At dawn, I drove to a base camp near Ulida Flat, packed my equipment, and set out up a rocky road, stepping into an unnamed canyon (峡谷) surrounded by the Cottonwood Mountains. After I had been hiking through the stony valley for about an hour, the sharp brays of burros (驴的叫声) suddenly broke the silence — hundreds of them gathered there, which I playfully named “Burroville”. A dozen large male burros soon blocked my way, standing shoulder to shoulder with firm determination, their massive heads held high as if daring me to approach. I paused, and then spotted a female burro nursing her tiny baby beside the canyon wall. Instantly, I realized the males were protecting their families during the breeding season. I spoke gently to them and even threw a small rock near the biggest male burro to get their attention, but they stayed where they were without moving. Just as I turned to leave in disappointment, most male burros slowly moved aside — only the largest one remained, staring at me seriously. In his deep brown eyes, I clearly read his silent message: this canyon was their home, and I should leave. I couldn’t bear to break their trust, so I turned back. As I walked down the trail, I couldn’t help questioning if we really needed to map every corner of the earth. Maybe some places were meant to stay unnamed and undisturbed. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Years later, I returned to see if the unnamed canyon still remained undisturbed. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the hikers invited me again to update the mapping project, I declined. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: Years later, I returned to see if the unnamed canyon still remained undisturbed. I drove along the same rocky road, feeling nervous about what I might find. When I arrived at the canyon, I was relieved to see that it looked exactly as I remembered. The Cottonwood Mountains still stood tall, and the wild burros were grazing peacefully where I had met them years ago. The air was still clean and quiet, just like before. It was a special place that time seemed to have forgotten, and I felt happy that nature was safe. Paragraph 2: When the hikers invited me again to update the mapping project, I declined. I told them that I believed some places should remain wild and unnamed. I explained that the canyon had a silent message which taught us that not everything needs to be measured or changed. Instead of drawing maps, we should just enjoy nature without disturbing it. I realized that protecting nature is more valuable than making maps. They didn’t fully understand, but I knew I made the right choice to leave it alone. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。1974年作者志愿探索死亡谷，在未命名峡谷遇驴群受阻。领头驴严肃的眼神传递了“此处是家园”的无声信息，令作者深受触动。他放弃绘图任务折返，并反思有些地方应保持原始与宁静，无需人为涉足。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“多年后，我重返故地，想看看那片无名峡谷是否依旧未被惊扰。”可知，第一段可以写多年后作者重返无名峡谷，回忆来时的紧张心情，描写峡谷依旧保持原貌、自然环境未被打扰的景象，表达作者看到自然安然无恙时的欣慰与喜悦。 ②由第二段句首内容“当徒步旅行者再次邀请我参与地图测绘更新项目时，我婉言谢绝了。”可知，第二段可以写作者拒绝徒步者更新地图的邀请，表明自己希望这片地方保持原始荒野的想法，解释不应过度丈量、改变自然的道理，点明保护自然比绘制地图更重要的主旨，体现作者做出正确选择后的坚定内心。 2.续写线索：重返峡谷 —— 内心担忧 —— 所见原貌 —— 倍感欣慰 —— 拒绝测绘 —— 坚守守护 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：find/spot ②告诉：tell/inform/share with ③解释：explain/clarify 情绪类 ①紧张，担忧：nervous/anxious/worried ②高兴/满意：happy/glad/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】I drove along the same rocky road, feeling nervous about what I might find.

He and his staff find stray (流浪的) dogs and cats, or those that have been mistreated, and take them to the shelter — a role he has served for 29 years. Tortola is the only island in the region with an animal shelter, so Bissoondutt helps rescue dogs and cats from the other islands, too. Bissoondutt’s connection to animals began early. He grew up on a farm with goats, ducks, and chickens, and started visiting the animal shelter at around 8 years old. Now he takes care of the animals by feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of exercise. When someone wants to adopt a dog or cat, it’s Bissoondutt’s job to teach them how to be a good pet owner. For example, it’s very hot in the Caribbean, so it’s important for pets to have plenty of water and a shady place to rest. “It’s a challenge,” he says. “We let people know that it is important to have your animal get their yearly vaccination (接种疫苗), and the right diet. If it’s going to live outside, it must have food, water, and shelter. It needs to see the vet regularly, and exercise is very important. A dog that doesn’t exercise can be very bored and will probably start tearing up the house.” Bissoondutt also states that it is a very passionate job which has to come from the heart. One can not simply decide to take care of animals, as it involves many challenges. He emphasizes that an animal is not just a dog or a cat, but a being with its own life and feelings, deserving the same sympathy as humans. Despite the difficulties of running the shelter, Bissoondutt finds it rewarding. He feels great happiness in knowing he saves lives by taking dogs off the streets and giving them a second chance. For him, a wagging tail makes it all worthwhile. 4. What explains Bissoondutt’s fitness for his job? A. Willingness to work on all islands. B. Owning a farm with many animals. C. Long-term commitment to animals. D. Professional animal medical training. 5. What does Bissoondutt emphasize about the job of caring for animals? A. It is challenging but fun for everyone. B. It requires passion and dedication. C. It should be done only by professionals. D. It is mainly about feeding and cleaning. 6. What makes Bissoondutt feel fulfilling about his work? A. Removing loose dogs from the streets. B. Sharing personal happiness from work. C. Overcoming shelter running difficulties. D. Giving animals a second chance at life. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To profile somebody. B. To illustrate something. C. To instruct somebody. D. To advertise something. C If you have been consuming ultra-processed (超加工) foods (UPFs) like instant noodles or protein bars without checking the ingredients, think again. They contain substances not usually found in a home kitchen, such as protein isolates and modified starches. What stands out as alarming is a recent study showing how UPFs are likely to get you addicted to them like smoking. The “reward circuit” in our brain experiences a sharp increase in dopamine (多巴胺) — the “feel good” chemical. Nicotine (尼古丁) causes this dopamine boost, and UPFs copy that with other methods and materials. Dopamine also signals the brain to “remember” the stuff that gave the pleasure, intensifying urges. According to a Harvard study, UPFs and cigarettes activate the brain’s reward pathway in similar ways. The producers try to make the best of the “doses” to make this happen. UPFs combine refined (精炼的) sugars and fats in amounts not found in nature, which makes them addictive. UPFs are easy to digest, causing the reward system to activate quickly with a dopamine rush. The worst part is how the dopamine system goes less sensitive to usual intakes of UPFs over time, and the brain signals for higher intake to experience the same pleasure. Most of the time, people start to get addicted while consuming in moderation, but as the habit grows, the same amount doesn’t satiate. It pushes individuals to consume more of the stuff and get even more addicted. While smoking tobacco can be stopped, food is necessary for survival. This demands strict rules and safety standard checks because the modern food environment is heavily built upon ready-to-serve UPFs. It is still not known whether the contents of the UPFs cause addictive behavior or the lack of protective phytochemicals, fiber and micronutrients drive it. The distinction is required to decide whether the rules should mirror steps used to reduce tobacco consumption, or require a change in dietary quality of UPFs. 8. What do UPFs and cigarettes have in common? A. Both contain nicotine as a key ingredient. B. Both play a vital role in sustaining life. C. Both boost the brain’s reward network. D. Both are designed to strengthen urges. 9. What can we infer about the dopamine system from Paragraph 3? A. It consistently and rapidly responds to UPFs. B. It is mainly activated because of digestibility. C. It functions separately from the reward circuit. D. It needs more UPFs later for the same pleasure. 10. What does the underlined word “satiate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Shock someone greatly. B. Satisfy a desire fully. C. Change a habit completely. D. Harm one’s health slowly. 11. What remains unknown about UPFs? A. The precise cause of addiction to UPFs. B. The appropriate choice of rules for UPFs. C. The shortage of protective nutrients in UPFs. D. The presence of addictive substances in UPFs. D If you’ve ever played a video game, you might be familiar with the idea of a “boss battle”. At the end of a game, you have to fight a huge monster. It’s a big challenge and requires preparation and training to overcome the boss. In many ways, major surgery is something like a boss battle. Going through surgery can be tough. It usually takes months, or even over a year for patients to get back to normal. What if there was a way to train and prepare the body like a video game character? That’s exactly what researchers are now exploring through pre-surgery training. One of the newest approaches comes from a team led by researchers at the Centre de Recherche Saint-Antoine in Paris and Stanford School of Medicine. They developed special, person-specific programmes to train the body through exercise and tailored diets. They also worked on training the mind through meditation (冥想), mindfulness and thinking skills training. Shockingly, the training didn’t just improve patients’ physical and mental outcomes. It changed how their immune systems (免疫系统) were responding to surgery. Almost one-third of all patients undergoing major surgery experience some form of complication (并发症) which may delay recovery, lead to a longer hospital stay, or increase costs. Although personalized treatment with new training sessions might seem like a long shot, it may actually be the most cost-effective option! The training sessions were even remote, suggesting how effective this intervention might be for those who live far away from hospitals, or have limited access to healthcare. This new research emphasises just how important engaging with patients, and even training them, before surgery is. Scientists still don’t know what the long term benefits might be. “After all, this is a complex intervention...

But there’s another ingredient that’s almost impossible to overcook and comes in over 10 varieties. With a “meaty” taste and texture, it’s often used in vegetarian dishes (素菜). ____16____ One fascinating thing about cooking mushrooms is how well they stand up to heat, maintaining their structure even after long cooking times. This remarkable heat resistance comes from the mushroom’s cellular make-up containing chitin (几丁质), which allows the mushrooms to stand up to temperatures up to about 380 degrees Celsius. ____17____ This is not the same as what happens to meat or plants. Raw meat protein is soft. ____18____ This creates empty spaces, causing the protein to tighten and become hard and chewy. As for vegetables, the parts that hold their cell walls together, like hemicellulose and pectin, break down when they are heated. Besides that unique structure, another reason why mushrooms can withstand heat for so long is their high water content. Tomatoes are among the vegetables with high water content too, which is why they shrivel up (皱缩) when roasted. ____19____ In fact they are 80-90% water. This feature helps mushrooms cook for a long time without falling apart. As mushrooms are exposed to heat, the water within them begins to steam and leave, preventing the mushrooms from drying out too quickly. Unless you are cooking under extreme circumstances or intentionally mishandling them, it’s nearly impossible to overcook mushrooms. ____20____ Kids, home cooks, and chefs alike can experiment with various cooking techniques without the fear of ruining the dish. A. Mushrooms are no different. B. But long heat removes its water. C. That ingredient is the mushroom. D. Even beginners can cook them successfully. E. It also maintains their shape under high heat. F. This quality makes them perfect for roasting. G. This makes them a forgiving ingredient in the kitchen. 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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Stephen Glenn once shared a story about a distinguished research scientist Robert, who had made several important medical breakthroughs.

The findings ____36____ (publish) last week in the journal Ichnos after Ni Jingchen, ____37____ elementary school student, posted pictures of the fossil online. The fossil was discovered while Ni was in Beijing’s Mentougou District with his parents. The post ____38____ (catch) the attention of Xing Lida, an associate professor, ____39____ later led a research team to the site. Until now, Middle Jurassic trace fossils in Asia consisted mainly ____40____ dinosaur and turtle tracks, with no documented evidence of amphibians. The newly identified footprints provide the first such evidence, ____41____ (confirm) that amphibians lived in the region about 160 million years ago. The fossil includes two small footprints: a four-toed front footprint and a possible hind (后部的) footprint. Using 3D scanning, researchers created detailed digital ____42____ (model) to analyze the tracks. After comparing them with other known prints, they made a ____43____ (conclude) that the tracks were likely made by early, land-adapted amphibians from the Salamandroidea suborder. “This important study greatly encourages non-professional enthusiasts, particularly young people, ____44____ (engage) in natural science explorations ____45____ highlights the importance of protecting fossil sites and paying attention to geological outcrops in the field,” Xing said. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 46. 假定你是某国际学校学生会主席李华，为迎接即将到来的多国交换生，确保交流活动顺利进行，请你以学生会的名义向全校学生写一份英文倡议书。内容包括： 1. 倡议目的； 2. 行动建议； 3. 做出呼吁。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Dear fellow students, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Student Union 第二节 （满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 In 1974, when I was in my early twenties, I volunteered to help a group of hikers map a desert trail from Mexico to Canada, and I took on the task of exploring routes through Death Valley. At dawn, I drove to a base camp near Ulida Flat, packed my equipment, and set out up a rocky road, stepping into an unnamed canyon (峡谷) surrounded by the Cottonwood Mountains. After I had been hiking through the stony valley for about an hour, the sharp brays of burros (驴的叫声) suddenly broke the silence — hundreds of them gathered there, which I playfully named “Burroville”. A dozen large male burros soon blocked my way, standing shoulder to shoulder with firm determination, their massive heads held high as if daring me to approach. I paused, and then spotted a female burro nursing her tiny baby beside the canyon wall. Instantly, I realized the males were protecting their families during the breeding season. I spoke gently to them and even threw a small rock near the biggest male burro to get their attention, but they stayed where they were without moving. Just as I turned to leave in disappointment, most male burros slowly moved aside — only the largest one remained, staring at me seriously. In his deep brown eyes, I clearly read his silent message: this canyon was their home, and I should leave. I couldn’t bear to break their trust, so I turned back. As I walked down the trail, I couldn’t help questioning if we really needed to map every corner of the earth. Maybe some places were meant to stay unnamed and undisturbed. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Years later, I returned to see if the unnamed canyon still remained undisturbed. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the hikers invited me again to update the mapping project, I declined. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
