细节理解题。根据Key duties部分“Field Leaders will be in charge of 10 — 15 high schoolers, guide them in teamwork and conservation skills, and work alongside refuge staff in the departments of maintenance, education, and/or biology. (野外领队将负责10-15名高中生,指导他们团队合作和保护技能,并与维护、教育和/或生物部门的保护区工作人员一起工作)”可知,野外领队要带领一个高中生团队。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Qualifications部分“Applicants must be at least 21 years old, have a valid driver’s license for 3+ years, and be able to perform physical labor (lift 40+ pounds, work outdoors). (申请人必须年满21岁,持有3年以上有效驾驶执照,能够从事体力劳动(举起40磅以上的重物,在室外工作))”可知,申请人需要超过三年的持证驾驶经历。故选B。

B
At the beginning of every school year, a new crop of 15-year-olds pile into my classroom. Some are excited for the new year, while others are unmotivated. Regardless of their attitude, I’m always embarrassed to admit I am scared.
Just fake (假装) it until you make it, my fellow teachers advised. But no matter how much I faked it, and how many years spent teaching the same course, the fear has continued. As the relationships with my students deepen, I naturally grow comfortable, but even then, I feel nervous when something unexpected happens in class.
One might expect that this would cause me to be ashamed, to practice even harder, or to study public speaking methods. But I have learned another way.
This year, I was given a group of 10th graders, and on the first day of class, over half shared in their self-introduction paragraph that they were shy and afraid to speak up in class. My replies on their papers were personal: Did you notice how I held my hands to keep them from shaking today? Did you hear how my voice trembled when I noticed everyone looking at me?
And slowly but surely, my students began to open up about the root of their fears. When they saw me, their experienced teacher, trembling, they had more courage during their presentation. When they heard me stumble (磕绊) over my words, they accepted their own pauses trying to find the right ones.
Fear of public speaking rarely goes away completely. So many students are silenced by it in the classroom, but we as teachers have the chance to encourage by leading with empathy instead of pushing or disappointment. That starts with finding the courage to be honest about our own flaws (瑕疵). We must then teach ourselves, and by extension, our students to reframe those flaws as strengths rather than weaknesses.
24. What does the author say about her fear of public speaking?
A. It becomes easier to hide with practice.
B. It prevents her from teaching effectively.
C. It remains despite her teaching experience.
D. It appears when students are less motivated.
25. How did the author deal with her fear this year?
A. She studied public speaking skills. B. She used it to bond with her students.
C. She switched to a different course. D. She asked her fellow teachers for advice.
26. How were the students affected by the author’s change?
A. They became brave speakers. B. They lost respect for her.
C. They found their own flaws. D. They made academic progress.
27. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Fear is only as deep as the mind allows. B. Profession is more important than honesty.
C. Sharing personal struggles can empower others. D. Public speaking skills make a successful teacher.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者作为教师始终存在公开演讲的恐惧,最终通过坦诚自身瑕疵,鼓励学生直面恐惧、勇敢表达的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But no matter how much I faked it, and how many years spent teaching the same course, the fear has continued.(但无论我多么努力假装不害怕,无论教同一门课多少年,这种恐惧依然存在)”可知,尽管作者有多年教学经验,但公开演讲的恐惧依然没有消失。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“My replies on their papers were personal: Did you notice how I held my hands to keep them from shaking today? Did you hear how my voice trembled when I noticed everyone looking at me?(我在他们的作文上的回复很私人化:你注意到今天我是如何握紧双手防止它们发抖的吗?你听到当我注意到所有人都在看我时,我的声音在颤抖吗?)”和第五段中的“When they saw me, their experienced teacher, trembling, they had more courage during their presentation.(当他们看到我,他们经验丰富的老师,在颤抖时,他们在展示时更有勇气了)”可知,作者今年通过坦诚自己的恐惧,与学生建立联结,以此应对自己的恐惧。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“When they saw me, their experienced teacher, trembling, they had more courage during their presentation. When they heard me stumble (磕绊) over my words, they accepted their own pauses trying to find the right ones.(当他们看到我,他们经验丰富的老师,在颤抖时,他们在展示时更有勇气了。当他们听到我说话磕绊时,他们接受了自己在寻找合适词语时的停顿)”可知,作者的改变让学生变得更勇敢,敢于在课堂上表达自己,成为勇敢的发言者。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So many students are silenced by it in the classroom, but we as teachers have the chance to encourage by leading with empathy instead of pushing or disappointment. That starts with finding the courage to be honest about our own flaws (瑕疵). We must then teach ourselves, and by extension, our students to reframe those flaws as strengths rather than weaknesses.(很多学生在课堂上因此而沉默,但我们作为教师,有机会通过共情来鼓励他们,而不是施压或失望。这首先要鼓起勇气,坦诚自己的瑕疵。然后我们必须教导自己,进而教导我们的学生,将这些瑕疵重新定义为优点而非缺点)”可知,作者想传达的信息是:分享自己的困境可以激励他人勇敢面对自己的恐惧和不足。故选C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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. What is a possible future research direction for the team?
A. Behavioral bias. B. Consumer behavior.
C. Product labeling strategies. D. Hidden psychological mechanisms.
31. 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

【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。
【28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。
【29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。
【30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。
【31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.
32. The underlined word “derange” in the paragraph 2 most probably means ______.
A. Disturb B. regulate
C. ignore D. fulfill
33. 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.
34. What is Dr. Trasande’s attitude towards plastics regulation?
A. Objective. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Neutral.
35. 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】32. A 33. B 34. B 35. 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。
【32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。
【33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。
【34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。
【35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)
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。
One early morning, as I walked around the block, a friend’s “hi” from my phone nearly stopped me in my tracks. ____36____ She talked me through a life update from the opposite side of the country. It felt like the surprise of an unexpected letter because we normally didn’t communicate that way.
At the time, I only sent voice messages occasionally. Stage fright would kick in. I worried that I’d say the wrong thing, or that others would experience the same cringe (局促不安) upon hearing my voice that I do.____37____
But recently, I’ve found myself recalling how my friend’s voice broke through loneliness.Particularly during a season that’s supposed to be all about love, I think about all the ways that can look-specifically, how we reach out and connect. As I’ve sent more random voice messages to loved ones, it’s become obvious how much I was longing for this point of connection with them. _____38_____There’s a level of closeness that comes with this kind of listening.
____39____ It allows you to take your time and speak without the pressure of an immediate response. You can fill it with laughter, pauses, and tone that a text message can’t convey. It’s a small act of presence, a way to say, “I’m thinking of you, and I want to connect in a way that feels human.”
In a world where so much of our communication is quick, instrumental, and screen-based, voice messages are a rebellion (反抗). They’re a choice to be unpolished, to be real, and to invest time in someone else. ____40____ It’s just a friend’s “hi” in your pocket, waiting for you to hit play.
A. In fact, I’m a late adopter of voice messaging.
B. I find comfort in their voices even if I can’t see their faces.
C. It was the first voice message I remember clicking play on.
D. When we reach out, we can better understand others’ difficulties.
E. Sometimes, connection doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.
F. I think better in writing, I’d tell myself, holding on to my text messages.
G. A voice message is a conscious choice for thoughtful, heartfelt connection.
【答案】36. C 37. F 38. B 39. G 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过回忆朋友发来的一条语音信息带来的温暖,反思了语音消息在快节奏、屏幕化的现代沟通中,作为一种真实、人性化连接方式的价值。
【36题详解】
根据上文“One early morning, as I walked around the block, a friend’s “hi” from my phone nearly stopped me in my tracks. (一天清晨,当我漫步在小区里时,手机传来朋友的“hi”声差点让我停下脚步。)”可知,作者提到了手机里朋友发来的“hi”,空格后描述了这个语音消息的内容和感受。C项“It was the first voice message I remember clicking play on.(这是我记得我点开的第一个语音消息。)”承接上文,具体说明了这条消息的性质,并引出下文的感受。故选C项。
【37题详解】
上文“At the time, I only sent voice messages occasionally. Stage fright would kick in. I worried that I’d say the wrong thing, or that others would experience the same cringe (局促不安) upon hearing my voice that I do. (当时,我只是偶尔会发送语音消息。我会感到紧张不安。我担心自己会说错话,或者别人听到我的声音时会像我一样感到局促不安。)”提到作者过去很少发语音,因为会有“舞台恐惧”,担心说错话或自己的声音让人尴尬。F项“I think better in writing, I’d tell myself, holding on to my text messages. (我告诉自己,我更擅长文字表达,并坚持发文字消息。)”解释了作者之前偏爱文字消息的原因,是对上文stage fright和cringe的进一步说明。故选F项。
【38题详解】
空格位于段落开头。下文提到“There’s a level of closeness that comes with this kind of listening.(这种倾听带来了一种亲近感。)这种closeness是一种慰藉。B项“I find comfort in their voices even if I can’t see their faces. (即使我看不到他们的脸,我也能从他们的声音中找到安慰。)”与下文的“亲近感”逻辑一致,且their voices与段落的“语音消息”主题相符。故选B项。
【39题详解】
空格位于段落开头,应为本段主题句。本段“It allows you to take your time and speak without the pressure of an immediate response. You can fill it with laughter, pauses, and tone that a text message can’t convey. It’s a small act of presence, a way to say, “I’m thinking of you, and I want to connect in a way that feels human.”(它让你有时间说话,而无需承受立即得到回应的压力。你可以用笑声、停顿和语气来填充它,这些都是短信无法传达的。这是一种小小的示好之举,是一种表达“我一直在想着你,我想要以一种人性化的形式与你建立联系”的方式。)”主要描述了语音消息允许使用者从容表达、传递文字无法承载的情感,是“一种用人类方式连接”的选择。G项“A voice message is a conscious choice for thoughtful, heartfelt connection.(语音消息是一种为了体贴、真诚连接而做出的有意选择。)”精准概括了本段主旨。故选G项。
【40题详解】
空格位于文章结尾,应具有总结或升华的作用。上文“In a world where so much of our communication is quick, instrumental, and screen-based, voice messages are a rebellion (反抗). They’re a choice to be unpolished, to be real, and to invest time in someone else. (在这个我们大部分交流都迅速、实用且依赖屏幕的世界里,语音消息是一种反抗的表现。它们是一种选择,即保持不加修饰的状态,保持真实,并花时间去关心他人。)”提到语音消息是对快速、工具化沟通的一种“反抗”,是选择不加修饰、真实并愿意为他人花时间。E项“Sometimes, connection doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.(有时候,连接不必宏伟,也能有意义。)”是对语音消息这种“微小举动”价值的总结,并与最后一句“It’s just a friend’s “hi” in your pocket, waiting for you to hit play. (它只是你口袋里的一句朋友的“hi”,等待着你点击播放。)”形成完美呼应。故选E项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了《清明上河图》这幅中国古代名画的内容、艺术特色及其历史价值。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:《清明上河图》是中国古代十大名画之一,它展现了北宋都城汴京的繁华景象。空格后“capital of the Song Dynasty” (宋朝的都城)是对“Bianjing(汴京)”的同位语,需用定冠词the修饰。故填the。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这幅古画长528厘米,宽24.8厘米,以其合理的布局和完美的构图而著称。此处为非谓语动词作定语,measure与逻辑主语painting之间为主动关系,故用现在分词形式作后置定语,故填measuring。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:这幅古画长528厘米,宽24.8厘米,以其合理的布局和完美的构图而著称。此处与arrangement并列,作介词for的宾语。compose的名词形式为composition“构图”。故填composition。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着画卷的逐渐展开,首先映入眼帘的是汴京郊外的早春景色——溪流、桥梁、船只和发芽的树木。“the+序数词+名词+不定式”表示“第几个做某事的”,此处表示“第一个吸引眼球的事情”,故该空是动词不定式。故填to catch。
【60题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:一些旅客在薄雾中匆匆赶路,这正是清明节时常见的景象。空处为句子的谓语动词,画作《清明上河图》捕捉的是瞬间的动态画面——“旅客在薄雾中赶路”,因此用现在进行时。且主语travelers为复数,be动词为are。故填are hurrying。
【61题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:桥下有许多船只在争路。“Under the bridge”是地点状语,置于句首时句子要用完全倒装,句子的主语是“many boats”为复数,句子陈述一般事实,所以用一般现在时,be动词用are。故填are。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:最后一部分是拥挤喧闹的市中心,这里的街道两旁排列着官府宅邸、民居院落、作坊、茶馆和杂货店,见证着各行各业的人们忙着各式营生。此处为定语从句修饰先行词downtown,且先行词在从句中作定语,应用关系代词whose引导该从句。故填whose。
【63题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这幅画看起来栩栩如生,令人难以置信,仿佛我们能看到路过的人,听得到他们在谈论什么。hear后接宾语从句,从句中“talking about”缺少宾语,表示“讨论的内容”,所以用what引导该从句。故填what。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:《清明上河图》如同一扇通往宋朝的窗口,为后世理解与研究800多年前中国人的经济社会生活提供了极其珍贵的资料。serve as a window to...“作为通往……的窗口”。故填to。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意:《清明上河图》如同一扇通往宋朝的窗口,为后世理解与研究800多年前中国人的经济社会生活提供了极其珍贵的资料。value是名词,此处需要形容词valuable “有价值的”来修饰名词materials。故填valuable。

67. 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。
The community library was Megan’s peaceful kingdom, a place of quiet whispers and turning pages. Every summer vacation, she worked as a student volunteer, feeling responsible for protecting this quiet space.
Lately, a boy named Liam had become her challenge. Liam wasn’t rude — he just couldn’t sit still. Like clockwork, he would get up to “stretch his legs, ”pacing between the bookshelves. Sometimes he’d accidentally knock over a chair. Once, absorbed in a picture book, he let out a loud“Whoa!”when he saw a giant dinosaur filled the page. In the silence, each sound drew looks from other readers.
Yesterday, when Megan walked over and reminded him gently again, Liam’s face turned red. “I’m really sorry, ”he whispered sincerely. “I don’t mean to. I just. I really like being here. ”She believed him. She had noticed that Liam was a curious explorer of books. He would pull out a book on dinosaurs, reading with intense focus for a few minutes, then move on to another about volcanoes or space rockets. He just loved the library.
Megan went back to her office. A note on the head librarian’s desk caught her eye. It read, “More Lively Reading Activities? Book sharing? Acting?” Seeing this, Megan suddenly remembered the librarian had mentioned she could feel free to use the garden at the back of the library. It was a place where some unused items were stored — some old chairs, folding tables, all piled up gathering dust under a large tree. At the time, Megan hadn’t thought much about it. But now, the thoughts of directing Liam’s energy and making use of the garden connected in her mind. Perhaps the solution wasn’t to quiet Liam down, but to give his energy and love for books a positive stage, right here in their own library.
An idea for a “Garden Reading Corner”project, aimed at young readers, began to take shape. The next morning, she found Liam among the bookshelves. “Want to do something really cool?”she said, her voice low but excited. Liam did not answer at once, but the eager light in his eyes said everything.

【答案】
For the next week, Megan and Liam busied themselves with the project. They first cleaned the messy garden, moving old chairs and folding tables to a sunny spot under the big tree. Liam scrubbed the dirt off the furniture and arranged them in a circle for kids. Megan brought colorful posters of dinosaurs and space — Liam’s favorite — and they hung them on the tree. They also picked out a lot of picture books and storybooks for young readers and placed them on a wooden shelf from the storage. Every evening, they discussed fun activities like book sharing and role-playing, with Liam coming up with many creative ideas.
On the opening day of the project, they waited nervously in the garden. Soon many kids came, attracted by the colorful posters and interesting books. Liam became a great guide: he read dinosaur stories aloud and acted out some parts with vivid gestures, making everyone laugh happily. The garden was filled with soft laughter and reading voices, never disturbing the quiet inside the library. The head librarian came and praised them warmly, saying the garden reading corner was a wonderful addition. Megan smiled, knowing she had found the best way to let Liam’s energy shine and keep the library quiet.

At the beginning of every school year, a new crop of 15-year-olds pile into my classroom. Some are excited for the new year, while others are unmotivated. Regardless of their attitude, I’m always embarrassed to admit I am scared.
Just fake (假装) it until you make it, my fellow teachers advised. But no matter how much I faked it, and how many years spent teaching the same course, the fear has continued. As the relationships with my students deepen, I naturally grow comfortable, but even then, I feel nervous when something unexpected happens in class.
One might expect that this would cause me to be ashamed, to practice even harder, or to study public speaking methods. But I have learned another way.
This year, I was given a group of 10th graders, and on the first day of class, over half shared in their self-introduction paragraph that they were shy and afraid to speak up in class. My replies on their papers were personal: Did you notice how I held my hands to keep them from shaking today? Did you hear how my voice trembled when I noticed everyone looking at me?
And slowly but surely, my students began to open up about the root of their fears. When they saw me, their experienced teacher, trembling, they had more courage during their presentation. When they heard me stumble (磕绊) over my words, they accepted their own pauses trying to find the right ones.
Fear of public speaking rarely goes away completely. So many students are silenced by it in the classroom, but we as teachers have the chance to encourage by leading with empathy instead of pushing or disappointment. That starts with finding the courage to be honest about our own flaws (瑕疵). We must then teach ourselves, and by extension, our students to reframe those flaws as strengths rather than weaknesses.
24. What does the author say about her fear of public speaking?
A. It becomes easier to hide with practice.
B. It prevents her from teaching effectively.
C. It remains despite her teaching experience.
D. It appears when students are less motivated.
25. How did the author deal with her fear this year?
A. She studied public speaking skills. B. She used it to bond with her students.
C. She switched to a different course. D. She asked her fellow teachers for advice.
26. How were the students affected by the author’s change?
A. They became brave speakers. B. They lost respect for her.
C. They found their own flaws. D. They made academic progress.
27. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Fear is only as deep as the mind allows. B. Profession is more important than honesty.
C. Sharing personal struggles can empower others. D. Public speaking skills make a successful teacher.
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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. What is a possible future research direction for the team?
A. Behavioral bias. B. Consumer behavior.
C. Product labeling strategies. D. Hidden psychological mechanisms.
31. 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
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.
32. The underlined word “derange” in the paragraph 2 most probably means ______.
A. Disturb B. regulate
C. ignore D. fulfill
33. 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.
34. What is Dr. Trasande’s attitude towards plastics regulation?
A. Objective. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Neutral.
35. 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.

One early morning, as I walked around the block, a friend’s “hi” from my phone nearly stopped me in my tracks. ____36____ She talked me through a life update from the opposite side of the country. It felt like the surprise of an unexpected letter because we normally didn’t communicate that way.
At the time, I only sent voice messages occasionally. Stage fright would kick in. I worried that I’d say the wrong thing, or that others would experience the same cringe (局促不安) upon hearing my voice that I do.____37____
But recently, I’ve found myself recalling how my friend’s voice broke through loneliness.Particularly during a season that’s supposed to be all about love, I think about all the ways that can look-specifically, how we reach out and connect. As I’ve sent more random voice messages to loved ones, it’s become obvious how much I was longing for this point of connection with them. _____38_____There’s a level of closeness that comes with this kind of listening.
____39____ It allows you to take your time and speak without the pressure of an immediate response. You can fill it with laughter, pauses, and tone that a text message can’t convey. It’s a small act of presence, a way to say, “I’m thinking of you, and I want to connect in a way that feels human.”
In a world where so much of our communication is quick, instrumental, and screen-based, voice messages are a rebellion (反抗). They’re a choice to be unpolished, to be real, and to invest time in someone else. ____40____ It’s just a friend’s “hi” in your pocket, waiting for you to hit play.
A. In fact, I’m a late adopter of voice messaging.
B. I find comfort in their voices even if I can’t see their faces.
C. It was the first voice message I remember clicking play on.
D. When we reach out, we can better understand others’ difficulties.
E. Sometimes, connection doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.
F. I think better in writing, I’d tell myself, holding on to my text messages.
G. A voice message is a conscious choice for thoughtful, heartfelt connection.

It is perfectly ____46____ to feel challenged-even at a task you thought was simple- ____47____ that is part of life.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
The community library was Megan’s peaceful kingdom, a place of quiet whispers and turning pages. Every summer vacation, she worked as a student volunteer, feeling responsible for protecting this quiet space.
Lately, a boy named Liam had become her challenge. Liam wasn’t rude — he just couldn’t sit still. Like clockwork, he would get up to “stretch his legs, ”pacing between the bookshelves. Sometimes he’d accidentally knock over a chair. Once, absorbed in a picture book, he let out a loud“Whoa!”when he saw a giant dinosaur filled the page. In the silence, each sound drew looks from other readers.
Yesterday, when Megan walked over and reminded him gently again, Liam’s face turned red. “I’m really sorry, ”he whispered sincerely. “I don’t mean to. I just. I really like being here. ”She believed him. She had noticed that Liam was a curious explorer of books. He would pull out a book on dinosaurs, reading with intense focus for a few minutes, then move on to another about volcanoes or space rockets. He just loved the library.
Megan went back to her office. A note on the head librarian’s desk caught her eye. It read, “More Lively Reading Activities? Book sharing? Acting?” Seeing this, Megan suddenly remembered the librarian had mentioned she could feel free to use the garden at the back of the library. It was a place where some unused items were stored — some old chairs, folding tables, all piled up gathering dust under a large tree. At the time, Megan hadn’t thought much about it. But now, the thoughts of directing Liam’s energy and making use of the garden connected in her mind. Perhaps the solution wasn’t to quiet Liam down, but to give his energy and love for books a positive stage, right here in their own library.
An idea for a “Garden Reading Corner”project, aimed at young readers, began to take shape. The next morning, she found Liam among the bookshelves. “Want to do something really cool?”she said, her voice low but excited. Liam did not answer at once, but the eager light in his eyes said everything.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

For the next week, Megan and Liam busied themselves with the project.
