Anyone who knows me will tell you I struggle with waiting. My impatience might explain why I’ve never seen the appeal of gardening. I always thought it was an activity for kids or retirees, and I never understood the passion for growing things — it seemed like the most uninteresting hobby imaginable.
For a time, I felt stuck in a never-ending waiting game, frustrated (沮丧的) by all the parts of life I couldn’t rush. I’d simply tried my hand at growing some young plants despite my dislike for gardening, and I’d held onto them during a busy time in my life. With more time on my hands than I knew what to do with, those young plants seemed like the perfect way to mark the passing days.
During the first week of tending to them, I was troubled by their lack of obvious progress. No green shoots came up; no cuttings showed signs of taking root. Still, I watered and cared for them regularly. It took longer than I expected, but slowly my plants began to grow — not all at once, but steadily (稳定地), in their own time.
I learned not to give up on my plants just because they took time to grow, and in turn, I unfolded a new leaf of my own: patience. This willingness to wait spread to every part of my life. When I felt stressed about an unfinished to-do list, I learned to come to terms with it. My plants didn’t worry about constant (持续的) productivity; they simply responded to the sun, and I realized there would always be more work tomorrow.
I would rather be like my plants, willing to enjoy both sunshine and rain, and to find joy in the slow moments of life. Now that my days are full again, I face the familiar rush. But each morning as I water my plants, I’m reminded that nothing needs to be rushed. I can live a full, active life while still finding time to stop and smell the roses.

【导语】作者本没有耐心且觉得园艺无趣,偶然养花后,在等待植物慢慢生长的过程中学会了耐心,懂得生活不必匆忙,要享受慢时光。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I always thought it was an activity for kids or retirees, and I never understood the passion for growing things — it seemed like the most uninteresting hobby imaginable. (我一直认为这是一项适合儿童或退休人员参与的活动,而且我从未理解过人们对种植事物的那份热情——这似乎是一项再无趣不过的爱好了。)”可知,作者最初认为园艺一项枯燥的活动。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“During the first week of tending to them, I was troubled by their lack of obvious progress. (在照料它们的第一周里,我感到很不安,因为它们并没有出现明显的进步迹象。)”可知,作者在刚开始从事园艺工作的第一周里感到担心不安。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“I learned not to give up on my plants just because they took time to grow, and in turn, I unfolded a new leaf of my own: patience. This willingness to wait spread to every part of my life. (我明白了,即便我的植物需要时间才能生长,我也不能因此而放弃它们。这样一来,我自己也收获了一种新的品质:耐心。这种等待的意愿也延伸到了我生活的方方面面。)”可知,作者学会耐心等待,不再为待办事项焦虑,即平静地接受。故划线词意思是“平静接受”。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I would rather be like my plants, willing to enjoy both sunshine and rain, and to find joy in the slow moments of life. Now that my days are full again, I face the familiar rush. But each morning as I water my plants, I’m reminded that nothing needs to be rushed. I can live a full, active life while still finding time to stop and smell the roses. (我更愿意像我的那些植物一样,既享受阳光,也接受雨水的洗礼,能在生活的慢节奏中找到快乐。如今我的日子又充实起来,我再次感受到了那种熟悉的紧迫感。但每天清晨当我给植物浇水时,我都会意识到没有什么是需要匆忙完成的。我可以过上充实而积极的生活,同时还能留出时间去欣赏生活的美好。)”结合全文通过养花学会耐心,明白万物成长自有节奏,不必急于求成。可知,文章表达了好事需要时间。

After a serious oil spill (泄露) near the shore, whale scientist Iain Kerr went to study its impact on sperm whales, trying to collect small tissue samples (组织样本) with specialized devices by boat. However, each time his boat approached a surfacing whale, it quickly dove away, leaving him empty-handed — he described it as “playing Whac-A-Mole”.
As darkness fell, a whale dove in front of Kerr and covered him in whale mucus (黏液), which later inspired Kerr to invent the MucusBot, a drone equipped with six sterile petri dishes (无菌培养皿). It flies low over the whale as it surfaces to breathe, and the petri dishes are activated to collect the mucus samples.
Today, such drones are used globally to collect mucus from sperm whales, blue whales, dolphins and more — mucus holds valuable data like DNA and microbiome makeup. “MucusBot can observe from a safe distance, reducing stress on the animals. It really has changed my life,” says Kerr.
Beyond collecting mucus, drones can also collect other samples to help find viruses (病毒) carried by whales like alphaherpesvirus. With clear and advanced cameras, they can follow whales’ movements and make sure sampling works, and try sampling many times on the spot.
Researchers use such drones to check humpback whales for viruses, and find different viral sequences from their samples. Without affecting the whales’ behavior, the light and cheap sampling tool is a useful way to monitor the health of humpback whales.
Despite their short battery lives and limited flight ranges, drones are proving highly promising for whale research. They will be widely used to rescue whales involved in fishing nets and monitor the long-term impact of environmental changes on sea creatures.
8. What can we infer about the MucusBot?
A. It works best in a dark environment. B. It was designed to replace research boats.
C. It can remove mucus directly from whales. D. It was created based on an unpleasant experience.
9. For what purpose does the author mention humpback whales in paragraph 5?
A. To introduce the living habits of whales. B. To clearly explain why whales are endangered.
C. To further show drones’ role in studying whales. D. To explain how drones help whales resist viruses.
10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The drones’ future applications. B. The drones’ possible effects on sea life.
C. The limitations of drone flights. D. The ways to monitor environmental changes.
11. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Drones: Strengths and Challenges B. Iain Kerr: Inventor of the MucusBot
C. MucusBot: Saving Whales from Fishing Nets D. Drone Tech: A New Tool for Whale Research
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As darkness fell, a whale dove in front of Kerr and covered him in whale mucus (黏液), which later inspired Kerr to invent the MucusBot, a drone equipped with six sterile petri dishes (无菌培养皿). (夜幕降临之时,一头鲸鱼游到了凯尔的前方,并用鲸鱼黏液覆盖住了他。这一经历后来激发了凯尔发明“黏液机器人”的灵感,这款机器人配备有六个无菌培养皿。)”可知,“黏液机器人”是基于一次不愉快的经历而被创造出来的。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Researchers use such drones to check humpback whales for viruses, and find different viral sequences from their samples. Without affecting the whales’ behavior, the light and cheap sampling tool is a useful way to monitor the health of humpback whales. (研究人员利用这类无人机来检测座头鲸是否携带病毒,并从样本中发现了不同的病毒序列。该轻便且成本低廉的采样工具在不干扰鲸鱼行为的情况下,为监测座头鲸的健康状况提供了一种有效的方法。)”可知,作者提及座头鲸的目的是为了进一步展示无人机在研究鲸鱼方面的作用。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Despite their short battery lives and limited flight ranges, drones are proving highly promising for whale research. They will be widely used to rescue whales involved in fishing nets and monitor the long-term impact of environmental changes on sea creatures. (尽管无人机的电池续航时间较短且飞行范围有限,但它们在鲸鱼研究方面仍显示出极高的应用价值。它们将被广泛用于解救陷入渔网的鲸鱼,并监测环境变化对海洋生物的长期影响。)”可知,最后一段主要讲的是无人机的未来应用。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“After a serious oil spill (泄露) near the shore, whale scientist Iain Kerr went to study its impact on sperm whales, trying to collect small tissue samples (组织样本) with specialized devices by boat. However, each time his boat approached a surfacing whale, it quickly dove away, leaving him empty-handed — he described it as “playing Whac-A-Mole”. (在海岸附近发生了一起严重的石油泄漏事件后,鲸鱼科学家伊恩·克尔前往研究此次泄漏对抹香鲸的影响,并试图用专门的设备乘船采集小块的组织样本。然而,每次他的船靠近一只浮出水面的鲸鱼时,它都会迅速潜入水下,让他空手而归——他形容这种情形为“玩‘打地鼠’游戏”)”结合文章主要说明了一次石油泄漏科考经历启发科学家发明采集鲸鱼黏液的无人机,它可安全采样、检测鲸类病毒,虽有续航短板,但在鲸鱼研究与海洋保护中应用前景广阔。可知,D选项“无人机技术:鲸鱼研究的新工具”最符合文章标题。
D
Looking through social platforms after dinner and suddenly feeling a strong desire for the pizza in an ad is by no means a personal failing or lack of self-control. Research suggests it may have something to do with how the human brain works, and raises fresh questions about what frequent contact with food images is actually doing to us.
Researchers from the University of East Anglia conducted an experiment to test the effect of food images on the brain. Ninety students volunteered to take part in the study. Participants arrived at the laboratory in a state of hunger, and their brain electrical activity was continuously monitored with professional equipment throughout the process. They first rated their current level of hunger and the appeal of various foods presented to them. Then each participant ate one of their chosen foods until full.
After the meal, ratings of the food the participants had eaten dropped sharply, and they turned to the uneaten food. But researchers compared the brain electrical activity recorded before and after the meal to identify any changes related to appetite (食欲) and observed that an electrical wave appeared when a person saw food images, showing no corresponding weakening after the meal. Even in the brain regions most closely associated with appetite, the response to food images remained unchanged — despite the participants’ sense of fullness.
This phenomenon can be explained by the brain’s two decision-making systems: a conscious (有意识的), goal-directed system that adjusts behavior based on current fullness, and an unconscious, habit-driven system. Years of repeated contact has deeply programmed food images into the second system, which operates independently of whether the body needs more food.
The finding helps raise public awareness of the hidden impact of food images and control unreasonable eating urges. It offers a scientific basis for adjusting food advertising rules, such as limiting the display of high-fat food images during evening hours or requiring health warnings on ads for unhealthy foods.
12. What does the research focus on?
A. Hidden power of dieting. B. Brain’s response to food images.
C. Social concerns about eating habits. D. Advertising effects on food choices.
13. What did the researchers find about the brain’s reaction after participants were full?
A. It focused more on eaten food. B. It showed reduced interest in all foods.
C. It remained active for food images. D. It completely ignored food-related signals.
14. What does the habit-driven system in paragraph 4 do?
A. It functions regardless of bodily needs. B. It controls how much food the body needs.
C. It adjusts food intake based on hunger levels. D. It depends on the goal-directed system to activate.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Practical uses of the research discovery. B. Scientific guidance of public eating habits.
C. Reasons to improve food advertising rules. D. Harmful influences of high-fat food images.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了研究发现人饱腹后大脑对食物图片反应仍不变,源于大脑两套决策系统,该发现有助提升公众认知并为规范食品广告提供科学依据。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers from the University of East Anglia conducted an experiment to test the effect of food images on the brain. (来自东安格利亚大学的研究人员开展了一项实验,旨在探究食物图片对大脑的影响。)”可知,这项研究关注的是大脑对食物图像的反应。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Even in the brain regions most closely associated with appetite, the response to food images remained unchanged — despite the participants’ sense of fullness. (即便是在与食欲关系最为密切的大脑区域,人们对食物图像的反应也并未发生改变——尽管参与者已经感到饱了。)”可知,研究人员发现参与者吃饱后大脑对于食物的图像,其大脑反应仍保持活跃状态。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Years of repeated contact has deeply programmed food images into the second system, which operates independently of whether the body needs more food. (长期的反复接触使得食物的种种形象在第二神经系统中根深蒂固,而这一系统并不会根据身体的实际需求来决定是否需要摄入更多食物。)”可知,习惯驱动系统不受身体需求的制约而运行。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The finding helps raise public awareness of the hidden impact of food images and control unreasonable eating urges. It offers a scientific basis for adjusting food advertising rules, such as limiting the display of high-fat food images during evening hours or requiring health warnings on ads for unhealthy foods. (这一发现有助于提高公众对食品广告所隐含影响的认识,并帮助人们控制不合理的饮食欲望。它为调整食品广告规则提供了科学依据,例如限制在晚间展示高脂肪食品的广告,或者在不健康食品的广告中添加健康警示。)”可知,最后一段主要讲的是该研究发现的实际应用价值。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

Personally, I prefer to work out in the gym. As I’m overweight, online exercise that offers one-size-fits-all fitness courses can’t provide targeted guidance for my body condition. Improper workout moves, if not corrected in time, may cause joint or other injuries, which is especially risky for me. ____19____ This helps me avoid injury and exercise more effectively.
However, when necessary — such as when I am on a business trip — I will choose online fitness to continue my exercise plan. Online workouts, with their flexibility and convenience, allow me to keep exercising even when I can’t go to the gym, ensuring that my fitness plan is not broken by business trips or other outings. ____20____
A. I had to stop exercising for a while.
B. It’s more inexpensive than going to a gym.
C. So it’s smart to keep both options in the fitness plan.
D. The fitness classes with a wide selection are available.
E. It is the most practical method to improve mental health.
F. The gym offers professional personalized guidance, though.
G. Without the social atmosphere, it’s easy to lose interest over time.
【答案】16. A 17. D 18. G 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要对比了线上健身和健身房锻炼的优缺点,介绍了作者根据自身情况选择两种方式互补使用的经历。
【16题详解】
上文“Halfway through the holiday, the fitness app crashed for two days. (假期过半时,健身应用崩溃了两天。)”描述了线上健身遇到的技术故障,A选项“I had to stop exercising for a while. (我不得不暂停锻炼一段时间。)”承接上文,说明应用崩溃导致的直接后果——无法继续锻炼;下文“Luckily, the gym pass I bought earlier helped me continue my exercise plan. (幸运的是,我之前买的健身房卡帮助我继续了锻炼计划。)”中的“continue my exercise plan”与A选项中的“stop exercising”形成对比,说明备用方案的作用,上下文语意连贯。
【17题详解】
上文“Online exercise is convenient with flexible time. It can show you professional workout plans from excellent coaches around the world. (线上锻炼时间灵活方便。它可以向你展示来自世界各地优秀教练的专业锻炼计划)”介绍了线上健身的便捷性和专业性,D选项“The fitness classes with a wide selection are available.

(例如,你可以选择适合你空闲时间的课程,甚至可以随时重看视频来纠正你的动作……)”通过具体例子说明了课程选择多样带来的实际好处,与D选项中的“wide selection”相呼应。
【18题详解】
上文“Working out alone at home means you miss the collective energy and peer (同伴) encouragement found in a gym. (在家独自锻炼意味着你错过了健身房里的集体能量和同伴鼓励。)”指出了线上健身缺乏社交氛围的缺点,G选项“Without the social atmosphere, it’s easy to lose interest over time. (没有社交氛围,时间久了很容易失去兴趣。)”承接上文,进一步分析缺乏社交氛围的长期后果——容易丧失兴趣;下文“In comparison, the gym training fills the gap. (相比之下,健身房锻炼填补了这一空白。)”说明健身房正好能弥补这一不足,与上文形成对比关系。
【19题详解】
上文“As I’m overweight, online exercise that offers one-size-fits-all fitness courses can’t provide targeted guidance for my body condition. Improper workout moves, if not corrected in time, may cause joint or other injuries, which is especially risky for me.(由于我超重,提供一刀切健身课程的线上锻炼无法针对我的身体状况提供有针对性的指导。不恰当的锻炼动作如果不及时纠正,可能会导致关节或其他损伤,这对我来说尤其危险)”指出了作者不适合线上健身的具体原因——缺乏针对性指导且有受伤风险,F选项“The gym offers professional personalized guidance, though.(不过,健身房提供专业的个性化指导)”与上文构成转折对比,指出健身房恰好能解决这些问题;下文“This helps me avoid injury and exercise more effectively.(这帮助我避免受伤并更有效地锻炼)”中的“This”指代F选项中的“professional personalized guidance”,说明了个性化指导带来的积极效果。
【20题详解】
上文“Online workouts, with their flexibility and convenience, allow me to keep exercising even when I can’t go to the gym, ensuring that my fitness plan is not broken by business trips or other outings. (线上锻炼凭借其灵活性和便利性,让我即使无法去健身房时也能坚持锻炼,确保我的健身计划不会因出差或其他外出而中断。)”总结了线上健身作为补充方案的独特价值,C选项“So it’s smart to keep both options in the fitness plan. (因此,在健身计划中保留两种选择是明智的。)”与上文构成因果关系,基于线上健身的补充价值,得出两者兼顾的结论,对全文进行了总结。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As the New Year approached, ten-year-old Martin was very cheerful. This lively, playful kid always tilted (倾斜) his head when listening to what others said, for he was deaf in the left ear — but he never let it stop him from running and playing with his best friend Kenny.
Kenny’s family lived just a small pasture (牧场) away from Martin’s, separated by a fence. The two boys were never apart. They loved exploring the woods, but they worried about getting lost. Kenny had always dreamed of owning a compass, which would help them explore farther safely. However, his family was poor, so he could never ask for one. The small wish remained in his heart for a long time.
For weeks, Martin had been quietly saving up his pocket money. A few days before New Year, Martin walked up to his mom Mary, glowing with pride, “Mom, I got Kenny a New Year’s gift. Wanna take a look?” He carefully took out a beautiful pocket compass.
“It’s lovely, Martin,” Mary said softly. “Kenny’s family can’t give you a gift in return, and we don’t want him to feel uncomfortable.” Martin nodded, his eyes firm, “I understand, Mom… but what if we make it our secret?”
On New Year’s Eve, a cold and rainy night, Martin slipped (溜) out of the house, holding the small box tightly. He crossed the wet pasture, ducked under the fence, and slipped into Kenny’s yard. He tiptoed to the door, gently placed the gift in the mailbox and then hurried away. Suddenly, he lost his balance and fell onto the wet ground, his shoulder hitting a stone. A wave of pain shot through him, but he didn’t make a sound. He slowly got up and dragged himself home, his lips trembling and eyes wet. “I fell on the way back… and my shoulder hurts,” he whispered to his mom.
Mary treated his injury right away. He looked up at her seriously, “Kenny didn’t see me, Mom. I’m sure of it. He’ll be happy when he finds the gift.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为80个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, Kenny knocked at Martin’s door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next day, Kenny knocked at Martin’s door. He was holding the compass tightly, his face shining with excitement. “Martin, look what I found! It’s exactly what I’ve always wanted!” he yelled, showing the compass to Martin. He rambled on about all the adventures they could now go on without fear of getting lost. Then he noticed Martin’s bandaged shoulder and his voice softened. “Did you hurt yourself? Thank you so much, my best friend!” Martin tilted his head and grinned, feeling the pain in his shoulder fade away.

Anyone who knows me will tell you I struggle with waiting. My impatience might explain why I’ve never seen the appeal of gardening. I always thought it was an activity for kids or retirees, and I never understood the passion for growing things — it seemed like the most uninteresting hobby imaginable.
For a time, I felt stuck in a never-ending waiting game, frustrated (沮丧的) by all the parts of life I couldn’t rush. I’d simply tried my hand at growing some young plants despite my dislike for gardening, and I’d held onto them during a busy time in my life. With more time on my hands than I knew what to do with, those young plants seemed like the perfect way to mark the passing days.
During the first week of tending to them, I was troubled by their lack of obvious progress. No green shoots came up; no cuttings showed signs of taking root. Still, I watered and cared for them regularly. It took longer than I expected, but slowly my plants began to grow — not all at once, but steadily (稳定地), in their own time.
I learned not to give up on my plants just because they took time to grow, and in turn, I unfolded a new leaf of my own: patience. This willingness to wait spread to every part of my life. When I felt stressed about an unfinished to-do list, I learned to come to terms with it. My plants didn’t worry about constant (持续的) productivity; they simply responded to the sun, and I realized there would always be more work tomorrow.
I would rather be like my plants, willing to enjoy both sunshine and rain, and to find joy in the slow moments of life. Now that my days are full again, I face the familiar rush. But each morning as I water my plants, I’m reminded that nothing needs to be rushed. I can live a full, active life while still finding time to stop and smell the roses.
4. What did the author think of gardening at first?
A. A boring activity. B. A relaxing way.
C. An annoying hobby. D. An exciting challenge.

A. Put it off with purpose. B. Resolve it at once.
C. Fight against it bravely. D. Accept it peacefully.
7. What message does the text deliver?
A. Hard work pays off. B. Good things take time.

After a serious oil spill (泄露) near the shore, whale scientist Iain Kerr went to study its impact on sperm whales, trying to collect small tissue samples (组织样本) with specialized devices by boat. However, each time his boat approached a surfacing whale, it quickly dove away, leaving him empty-handed — he described it as “playing Whac-A-Mole”.
As darkness fell, a whale dove in front of Kerr and covered him in whale mucus (黏液), which later inspired Kerr to invent the MucusBot, a drone equipped with six sterile petri dishes (无菌培养皿). It flies low over the whale as it surfaces to breathe, and the petri dishes are activated to collect the mucus samples.
Today, such drones are used globally to collect mucus from sperm whales, blue whales, dolphins and more — mucus holds valuable data like DNA and microbiome makeup. “MucusBot can observe from a safe distance, reducing stress on the animals. It really has changed my life,” says Kerr.
Beyond collecting mucus, drones can also collect other samples to help find viruses (病毒) carried by whales like alphaherpesvirus. With clear and advanced cameras, they can follow whales’ movements and make sure sampling works, and try sampling many times on the spot.
Researchers use such drones to check humpback whales for viruses, and find different viral sequences from their samples. Without affecting the whales’ behavior, the light and cheap sampling tool is a useful way to monitor the health of humpback whales.
Despite their short battery lives and limited flight ranges, drones are proving highly promising for whale research. They will be widely used to rescue whales involved in fishing nets and monitor the long-term impact of environmental changes on sea creatures.
8. What can we infer about the MucusBot?
A. It works best in a dark environment. B. It was designed to replace research boats.
C. It can remove mucus directly from whales. D. It was created based on an unpleasant experience.
9. For what purpose does the author mention humpback whales in paragraph 5?
A. To introduce the living habits of whales. B. To clearly explain why whales are endangered.
C. To further show drones’ role in studying whales. D. To explain how drones help whales resist viruses.
10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The drones’ future applications. B. The drones’ possible effects on sea life.
C. The limitations of drone flights. D. The ways to monitor environmental changes.
11. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Drones: Strengths and Challenges B. Iain Kerr: Inventor of the MucusBot
C. MucusBot: Saving Whales from Fishing Nets D. Drone Tech: A New Tool for Whale Research
D
Looking through social platforms after dinner and suddenly feeling a strong desire for the pizza in an ad is by no means a personal failing or lack of self-control. Research suggests it may have something to do with how the human brain works, and raises fresh questions about what frequent contact with food images is actually doing to us.
Researchers from the University of East Anglia conducted an experiment to test the effect of food images on the brain. Ninety students volunteered to take part in the study. Participants arrived at the laboratory in a state of hunger, and their brain electrical activity was continuously monitored with professional equipment throughout the process. They first rated their current level of hunger and the appeal of various foods presented to them. Then each participant ate one of their chosen foods until full.
After the meal, ratings of the food the participants had eaten dropped sharply, and they turned to the uneaten food. But researchers compared the brain electrical activity recorded before and after the meal to identify any changes related to appetite (食欲) and observed that an electrical wave appeared when a person saw food images, showing no corresponding weakening after the meal. Even in the brain regions most closely associated with appetite, the response to food images remained unchanged — despite the participants’ sense of fullness.
This phenomenon can be explained by the brain’s two decision-making systems: a conscious (有意识的), goal-directed system that adjusts behavior based on current fullness, and an unconscious, habit-driven system. Years of repeated contact has deeply programmed food images into the second system, which operates independently of whether the body needs more food.
The finding helps raise public awareness of the hidden impact of food images and control unreasonable eating urges. It offers a scientific basis for adjusting food advertising rules, such as limiting the display of high-fat food images during evening hours or requiring health warnings on ads for unhealthy foods.
12. What does the research focus on?
A. Hidden power of dieting. B. Brain’s response to food images.
C. Social concerns about eating habits. D. Advertising effects on food choices.
13. What did the researchers find about the brain’s reaction after participants were full?
A. It focused more on eaten food. B. It showed reduced interest in all foods.
C. It remained active for food images. D. It completely ignored food-related signals.
14. What does the habit-driven system in paragraph 4 do?
A. It functions regardless of bodily needs. B. It controls how much food the body needs.
C. It adjusts food intake based on hunger levels. D. It depends on the goal-directed system to activate.

Last winter, I planned to keep exercising through the holiday. I signed up for an online fitness class and followed the videos on my phone. Halfway through the holiday, the fitness app crashed for two days. ____16____ Luckily, the gym pass I bought earlier helped me continue my exercise plan.
Online exercise is convenient with flexible time. It can show you professional workout plans from excellent coaches around the world. ____17____ For example, you can choose one that fits your free time and even rewatch the videos to correct your moves at any moment, creating a convenient exercise experience.
However, online exercise has some limitations. Working out alone at home means you miss the collective energy and peer (同伴) encouragement found in a gym. ____18____ In comparison, the gym training fills the gap. You can make friends with other gym members, who can inspire you to keep working out.
Personally, I prefer to work out in the gym. As I’m overweight, online exercise that offers one-size-fits-all fitness courses can’t provide targeted guidance for my body condition. Improper workout moves, if not corrected in time, may cause joint or other injuries, which is especially risky for me. ____19____ This helps me avoid injury and exercise more effectively.
However, when necessary — such as when I am on a business trip — I will choose online fitness to continue my exercise plan. Online workouts, with their flexibility and convenience, allow me to keep exercising even when I can’t go to the gym, ensuring that my fitness plan is not broken by business trips or other outings. ____20____

C. So it’s smart to keep both options in the fitness plan.
D. The fitness classes with a wide selection are available.
E. It is the most practical method to improve mental health.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As the New Year approached, ten-year-old Martin was very cheerful. This lively, playful kid always tilted (倾斜) his head when listening to what others said, for he was deaf in the left ear — but he never let it stop him from running and playing with his best friend Kenny.
Kenny’s family lived just a small pasture (牧场) away from Martin’s, separated by a fence. The two boys were never apart. They loved exploring the woods, but they worried about getting lost. Kenny had always dreamed of owning a compass, which would help them explore farther safely. However, his family was poor, so he could never ask for one. The small wish remained in his heart for a long time.
For weeks, Martin had been quietly saving up his pocket money. A few days before New Year, Martin walked up to his mom Mary, glowing with pride, “Mom, I got Kenny a New Year’s gift. Wanna take a look?” He carefully took out a beautiful pocket compass.
“It’s lovely, Martin,” Mary said softly. “Kenny’s family can’t give you a gift in return, and we don’t want him to feel uncomfortable.” Martin nodded, his eyes firm, “I understand, Mom… but what if we make it our secret?”
On New Year’s Eve, a cold and rainy night, Martin slipped (溜) out of the house, holding the small box tightly. He crossed the wet pasture, ducked under the fence, and slipped into Kenny’s yard. He tiptoed to the door, gently placed the gift in the mailbox and then hurried away. Suddenly, he lost his balance and fell onto the wet ground, his shoulder hitting a stone. A wave of pain shot through him, but he didn’t make a sound. He slowly got up and dragged himself home, his lips trembling and eyes wet. “I fell on the way back… and my shoulder hurts,” he whispered to his mom.
Mary treated his injury right away. He looked up at her seriously, “Kenny didn’t see me, Mom. I’m sure of it. He’ll be happy when he finds the gift.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为80个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, Kenny knocked at Martin’s door.
