阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
In the high-speed modern world, isn’t it a pleasure to slow down in a walkable city to enjoy the sound of a street performer, the smells of freshly-baked bread rising from a bakery, or the sight of neighbors smiling?
London, England
Though cars are everywhere today, many visitors and locals often choose to use a combination of walking, public transit, and cycling to avoid getting caught in an annoying traffic block. Some of the best walks in London are walks along the Thames. If the bustle (喧闹) of the city streets grows tiring, walkers can escape to the green of London’s beautiful parks.
Paris, France
While Paris may be the “City of Love” for many people, it’s the “City of Walking” to others. It’s hard to know where to begin with a city that would take many lifetimes to fully explore, but the banks of the Seine have to be in the running. Another essential Paris experience is taking a walk across the city’s many beautiful and historical bridges.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is legendary for its person-focused, rather than car-focused, streets. You can walk or bike to just about all of them, depending on your level of mobility. Even the walking or cycling between each stop is a destination in itself, with views of canals, amazing architecture, and lively streets.
Quebec City, Quebec, Canada
A confused traveler would be forgiven for thinking that they found themselves in Europe after a brief walk in this Canadian city. Naturally, Old Quebec City — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is one of the loveliest areas to walk through. Exploring this neighborhood is like crossing the Atlantic without the heavy price and long flight.
1. What can people in London do to relax from busy streets?
A. Go to parks. B. Live in old towns.
C. Work in quiet places. D. Drive along the river.
2. Where can visitors enjoy canals while walking?
A. In London. B. In Paris. C. In Amsterdam. D. In Quebec City.
3. What do we know about Quebec City?
A. It is full of traffic jams. B. It has car-centered streets.
C. It is a famous romantic city. D. It feels like a European city.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了伦敦、巴黎、阿姆斯特丹和魁北克城四个适合步行游览的城市及其特色。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据London, England部分中“If the bustle (喧闹) of the city streets grows tiring, walkers can escape to the green of London’s beautiful parks. (如果城市街道的喧嚣让人感到疲惫,步行者可以逃到伦敦美丽的绿色公园中)”可知,伦敦的人们可以通过去公园来放松身心。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Amsterdam, Netherlands部分中“Even the walking or cycling between each stop is a destination in itself, with views of canals, amazing architecture, and lively streets. (即使在每个站点之间的步行或骑行本身也是一道风景,沿途可以欣赏运河、令人惊叹的建筑和热闹的街道)”可知,游客在阿姆斯特丹步行时可以欣赏到运河。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Quebec City, Quebec, Canada部分中“A confused traveler would be forgiven for thinking that they found themselves in Europe after a brief walk in this Canadian city. (一个困惑的游客如果在这座加拿大城市短暂散步后以为自己到了欧洲,那是可以原谅的)”以及“Exploring this neighborhood is like crossing the Atlantic without the heavy price and long flight. (探索这个街区就像穿越大西洋,却无需高昂的代价和漫长的飞行)”可知,魁北克城给人的感觉像一座欧洲城市。

In his book Speed: How it Explains the World, Vaclav Smil explores the concept of speed, which humans have long regarded as impressive, magical and highly desirable. He interprets speed from two aspects: the physical rate at which objects move within a certain time and a broader measure of changes in individuals, groups and social systems. Adopting a data-based approach, the book covers a wide range of topics, from natural events including volcanoes and species evolution to human creations such as traditional sailing ships and modern supercomputers.
Technological innovations, especially the replacement of animal power with steam and electric power, have greatly raised the pace of life and production. Faster transportation, more efficient production and extraordinary economic growth have taken place worldwide. People’s average life expectancy has increased greatly, and advanced technology makes rapid medical progress possible.
Nevertheless, the uncontrolled desire for speed brings obvious disadvantages. High work pressure caused by extreme efficiency leads to more accidents in workplaces like factories and warehouses. Higher driving speed sharply increases the risk of serious injury or death in traffic accidents. For commercial airplanes, high speed results in extremely high fuel consumption, so speed has to be balanced with economic benefits. Moreover, heavy traffic in urban areas actually reduces people’s real travelling speed.
Smil regards himself as a speed sceptic (怀疑论者). He is not against speed itself but advocates a reasonable and balanced attitude. We should welcome higher speed where it brings real benefits, such as timely medical treatment, and slow down where it threatens safety, the environment or social equality. We should never seek speed blindly or run after it for its own sake.
Reviewer Richard Dunn agrees with Smil’s central opinion but argues that the book should focus more on contemporary society rather than the long history of the Earth. He also questions whether continuous growth, instead of speed, is the key concern in modern politics and economy. He believes deeper reflections on modern lifestyle would make the book more meaningful and practical.
4. How does Smil develop his ideas in the book?
A. By giving living guidance. B. By covering different fields.
C. By telling historical stories. D. By showing economic data.
5. What is a probable result of overseeking speed?
A. More green transport. B. Reduced traffic pressure.
C. Unexpected risks at work. D. Quicker medical development.
6. What can be learned about Smil’s book?
A. It ignores Earth’s history. B. It advocates continuous progress.
C. It offers modern lifestyle advice. D. It focuses less on modern society.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Take a Wise Look at Life’s Pace
B. Avoid Hidden Risks in Daily Life
C. Master Skills of Modern Technologies
D. Raise Work Efficiency in Good Ways
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了Vaclav Smil在《速度》一书中对“速度”概念的探讨,分析了速度带来的利弊,并倡导以平衡的态度看待生活中的速度。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Adopting a data-based approach, the book covers a wide range of topics, from natural events including volcanoes and species evolution to human creations such as traditional sailing ships and modern supercomputers. (该书采用基于数据的方法,涵盖了广泛的话题,从火山、物种进化等自然事件,到传统帆船、现代超级计算机等人造物)”可知,Smil通过涵盖不同领域来展开他的观点。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Nevertheless, the uncontrolled desire for speed brings obvious disadvantages. High work pressure caused by extreme efficiency leads to more accidents in workplaces like factories and warehouses. (然而,不受控制的速度欲望带来了明显的缺点。极端效率导致的高工作压力引发了工厂、仓库等工作场所的更多事故)”可知,过度追求速度可能会导致工作场所的意外风险。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Reviewer Richard Dunn agrees with Smil’s central opinion but argues that the book should focus more on contemporary society rather than the long history of the Earth. (评论员Richard Dunn同意Smil的核心观点,但他认为这本书应该更多地关注当代社会,而不是地球的漫长历史)”可知,Richard Dunn认为这本书应该更多地关注当代社会,说明Smil的书中对现代社会的关注较少。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段中“Technological innovations, especially the replacement of animal power with steam and electric power, have greatly raised the pace of life and production. (技术创新,特别是蒸汽和电力对畜力的替代,极大地提高了生活和生产节奏)”、第三段中“Nevertheless, the uncontrolled desire for speed brings obvious disadvantages. (然而,对速度不加控制的追求带来了明显的弊端)”和第四段中“He is not against speed itself but advocates a reasonable and balanced attitude. We should welcome higher speed where it brings real benefits, such as timely medical treatment, and slow down where it threatens safety, the environment or social equality. (他并不反对速度本身,而是倡导一种合理且平衡的态度。我们应当在速度带来真正益处时——如及时的医疗服务——欢迎更高的速度,而在速度威胁安全、环境或社会公平时放慢脚步)”可知,文章探讨了速度的两面性,并倡导以合理且平衡的态度看待速度。故A项“Take a Wise Look at Life’s Pace (明智地看待生活节奏)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。
C
As holidaymakers travel to unfamiliar places, this means demand for online customer reviews. Whether you are looking on Tripadvisor, Airbnb or Amazon, you will almost certainly be guided by reviews from other people. Should you be? The short answer is yes: better to have some information than none. But the weaknesses of online reviews are evident.
For products with some objective measures of quality, there is a big gap between the views of customers and experts. A study in 2016 found that user ratings for 1,272 items listed on Amazon.com bore little relation to either the decision of Consumer Reports, an American product-testing organization, or to their resale value. That might be because consumers place greater value on more subjective things like a product’s brand.
But if ratings are based on subjective criteria, then another problem arises: What if your tastes differ from other people’s? The best book ever, according to members of GoodReads, an online community of book lovers, is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. You may agree, but plenty of people do not.
Another problem is that the people who bother to leave reviews and ratings may not be representative of consumers as a whole. A Spanish study in 2020 examined the distribution of ratings left in around 280 million reviews of more than 2 million products and services on 25 different platforms. It confirms a familiar pattern: a polar distribution of ratings, with more of them at the extremes of the scale than in the middle, towards more positive ratings. The reason? Extreme experiences, good and bad, are more likely to inspire reviews. Besides, people who have chosen to buy something are already more likely to be satisfied with it.
But consumers can also help themselves. Researchers suggest that people put too much weight on the overall average rating. The absolute number of reviews is a better indicator of actual popularity. And it is the detail in a review that tells you whether the person writing it prefers young-adult fiction to other genres. Reviews, then, are even more useful if you read them.
8. What is the author’s attitude towards online reviews?
A. Uncaring. B. Dismissive. C. Cautious. D. Approving.
9. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Resale value decides product quality. B. Experts judge products more objectively.
C. Customers ignore subjective preferences. D. Expert opinions are more widely accepted.
10. Why do online ratings tend to be polarized?
A. Platforms prefer positive reviews. B. Most buyers are difficult to please.
C. Few users share their real experiences. D. Strong feelings encourage users to comment.
11. What does the author suggest readers do about online reviews?
A. Check reviews in detail. B. Follow others’ choices blindly.
C. Ignore the total number of reviews. D. Depend on average ratings completely.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讨论了在线用户评论的优缺点,指出其存在主观性强、评分分布两极分化等问题,并建议读者仔细阅读评论内容。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Whether you are looking on Tripadvisor, Airbnb or Amazon, you will almost certainly be guided by reviews from other people. Should you be? The short answer is yes: better to have some information than none. But the weaknesses of online reviews are evident. (无论你是在Tripadvisor、Airbnb还是亚马逊上浏览,几乎都一定会受到他人评论的引导。应该这样吗?简短的答案是肯定的:有信息总比没有好。但在线评论的缺陷是显而易见的。)”可知,作者肯定了评论的作用,但也指出它的缺陷,说明对其持谨慎态度。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“For products with some objective measures of quality, there is a big gap between the views of customers and experts. A study in 2016 found that user ratings for 1,272 items listed on Amazon.com bore little relation to either the decision of Consumer Reports, an American product-testing organization, or to their resale value. That might be because consumers place greater value on more subjective things like a product’s brand. (对于那些有客观质量衡量标准的产品,消费者与专家的观点之间存在巨大差距。2016年的一项研究发现,亚马逊网站上列出的1272件商品的用户评分,与美国产品测试机构《消费者报告》的评价或它们的转售价值几乎没有关联。这可能是因为消费者更看重产品品牌等更主观的因素。)”可知,消费者的评价和产品测试机构的评价或产品的转售价值几乎没有关联,说明其评价并不准确,换句话说,与之相对的专家评价更准确,更加客观。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Extreme experiences, good and bad, are more likely to inspire reviews. (极端的体验,无论是好的还是坏的,都更可能激发用户留下评论。)”可知,在线评分往往呈现两极分化是因为强烈的情感体验促使人们评论。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Researchers suggest that people put too much weight on the overall average rating. The absolute number of reviews is a better indicator of actual popularity. And it is the detail in a review that tells you whether the person writing it prefers young-adult fiction to other genres. Reviews, then, are even more useful if you read them. (研究人员建议,人们过分看重总体平均评分了。评论的绝对数量是衡量实际受欢迎程度的更好指标。而评论中的细节能告诉你,写评论的人是否偏爱青少年小说胜过其他类型。因此,如果你去阅读评论,它们会更有用。)”可知,作者建议读者仔细查看评论中的细节。
D
An international team of researchers has genetically modified a probiotic yeast (益生酵母) called Saccharomyces boulardii to make it safer for the elderly and people in poor health. This yeast is widely used to protect and improve gut (肠) health, but it has been reported to cause serious bloodstream infections in people with weak bodies, babies and the elderly. “We wondered whether it was possible to genetically modify this yeast to make it safer for sensitive patients,” said Alexandra Imre, the first author of the study.
In the study, researchers tested different kinds of yeast collected from commercial probiotic products and patient samples, including two who had suffered infections caused by the yeast. They infected weak mice with these different kinds and studied their harmful effects. They also examined how the yeast acted under difficult living conditions, especially in environments with high levels of salt. Imre explained, “The kinds of yeast that were most harmful in our mouse study were also those that could best survive high-salt environments.”
The team then centered on two key genes, ENA1 and NHA1, which help the yeast subsist under high-salt stress. They removed these genes and repeated the experiments. Deleting the NHA1 gene produced little effect, but removing ENA1 greatly reduced the harm of the yeast. “Before deleting ENA1, mice infected with the most harmful yeast had a survival rate of only 30-40%,” Imre noted. “After editing, the survival rate rose to 100% in our six-day experiment.”
Further tests proved the modified yeast still kept its probiotic functions. “It could stop the growth of harmful bacteria and live well in the gut just like common probiotic,” added Nathan Crook, co-author of the paper.
The study clearly shows the close connection between salt stress tolerance and the harmfulness of the yeast. Though more research is needed to fully explain the biological rules behind it, the findings offer new hope for developing safe probiotic treatments for patients who cannot use traditional probiotics.
12. Why did the researchers genetically modify the yeast?
A. To increase its growth speed.
B. To make it safer for weak patients.
C. To discover new types of probiotics.
D. To help it resist high-salt environments.
13. What is proved by the mouse experiments?
A. Salt-tolerant yeast is more harmful.
B. Commercial yeast causes no infections.
C. Salt can reduce the yeast’s harmfulness.
D. All yeast acts the same in high-salt conditions.
14. What does the underlined word “subsist” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Store energy. B. Change genes. C. Keep alive. D. Fight illnesses.
15. What does paragraph 4 mainly convey to us?
A. Salt stress kills harmful bacteria rapidly.
B. The genes affect the yeast’s growth speed.
C. High salt levels limit the growth of the yeast.
D. The modified yeast still works as a probiotic.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了研究人员通过基因改造使益生酵母对体弱患者更安全的研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“We wondered whether it was possible to genetically modify this yeast to make it safer for sensitive patients.( 我们想知道是否有可能通过基因改造这种酵母,使其对敏感患者更安全。)”可知,研究人员基因改造酵母的目的是为了让它对体弱的患者更安全。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The kinds of yeast that were most harmful in our mouse study were also those that could best survive high-salt environments. (在我们的小鼠研究中,危害最大的酵母菌株,也正是那些能在高盐环境中存活最好的菌株。)”可知,小鼠实验证明了耐盐的酵母菌株更具危害性。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The team then centered on two key genes, ENA1 and NHA1, which help the yeast subsist under high-salt stress. (研究团队随后关注了两个关键基因ENA1和NHA1,它们帮助酵母在高盐胁迫下subsist。)”可知,这两个基因的作用是帮助酵母在高盐环境下生存下来。subsist意为“维持生存、活下去”,可以用C项“Keep alive”解释。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。 根据第四段中“Further tests proved the modified yeast still kept its probiotic functions. (进一步的测试证明,经过改造的酵母仍然保持了其益生菌功能。)”以及全段内容可知,本段主要传达的信息是基因改造后的酵母依然具有益生菌的功效。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了2026年萨尔茨堡中国日国际合唱周在奥地利萨尔茨堡开幕的情况、相关人士的发言及活动内容。
【36题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:该活动由中国合唱协会指导,萨尔茨堡市旅游局和奥地利优阔古典音乐研究所主办。此处与was guided并列作谓语动词,主语The event与host之间为被动关系,且时态为一般过去时,主语为单数,所以用was hosted,上文已有was,为避免重复was hosted中的was也可省略。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:萨尔茨堡市行政主管伯恩哈德·奥因格说:“2026萨尔茨堡中国日象征着开放、包容、文化多样性,以及与中国深厚的友谊和积极的合作。”空格前后“开放、包容、文化多样性”与“与中国深厚的友谊和积极的合作”是并列关系,需用并列连词and连接。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意:“无论当前全球政治形势如何,萨尔茨堡几十年来一直与中国保持着密切联系。萨尔茨堡市还与上海结为伙伴关系,这种伙伴关系非常密切,不仅在经济上,而且在文化上。” 奥因格补充道。根据时间状语for decades可知,此处强调从过去持续到现在的动作,用现在完成时,主语Salzburg为单数,所以用has maintained。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为partnership,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:中奥艺术家联合表演了中国经典民歌《茉莉花》和奥地利民歌《雪绒花》,开启了以合唱艺术为核心的多元文化交流交响乐。此处修饰动词performed,需用副词形式,joint的副词为jointly,意为“联合地、共同地”。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:中奥艺术家联合表演了中国经典民歌《茉莉花》和奥地利民歌《雪绒花》,开启了以合唱艺术为核心的多元文化交流交响乐。(be) centered on/upon/around为固定搭配,意为“以……为中心”。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:此外,萨尔茨堡会议中心二楼展示了中国各城市的文化形象、教育和艺术交流成果以及尖端科技产品。此处与artistic并列修饰exchange,形容词educational“教育的”符合。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:展区设有中国传统文化展示,包括舞龙舞狮、功夫、茶道和民间音乐。display为可数名词,结合后文“including dragon and lion dances, kung fu, tea ceremonies, and folk music”可知,展示内容不止一项,所以用复数形式displays作宾语。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:萨尔茨堡州政府中国事务办公室的简珍·沙登表示,萨尔茨堡中国日作为一个国际文化交流平台,促进了关于智慧旅游、数字体验、创意产业和城市服务经济等话题的多层次讨论,进一步深化了奥中友好合作。platform为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示“一个国际文化交流平台”,为泛指,且international是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:萨尔茨堡州政府中国事务办公室的简珍·沙登表示,萨尔茨堡中国日作为一个国际文化交流平台,促进了关于智慧旅游、数字体验、创意产业和城市服务经济等话题的多层次讨论,进一步深化了奥中友好合作。此处需用非谓语动词作结果状语,逻辑主语为前面整个句子,与deepen之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词形式。

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。
After a violent overnight rainstorm, the peaceful neighborhood finally welcomed a fresh and bright morning. The community was well-designed with clean paths, green trees, thick bushes and carefully arranged landscapes, making it a comfortable and lovely home for every resident. People living here took deep pride in their harmonious neighborhood and treasured the beautiful environment with all their hearts. However, the sudden heavy rain left the ground wet and muddy, and the ditches (沟渠) hidden in the corners were filled with rising water, bringing unexpected dangers.
Mia, a kind young resident who had lived in the community for years, took her lovely dog Buddy for a walk after the rain. Breathing the fresh air, she admired the clean and tidy neighborhood she loved so much. Soon she met Mrs Miller, a friendly and warm-hearted neighbor. They greeted each other warmly and chatted happily, enjoying the quiet beauty of their beloved community while Buddy ran around cheerfully, full of energy.
Suddenly, a colorful butterfly flew past them. Amazed and curious, Buddy rushed after it at once. Before Mia could stop him, his paws (爪子) slipped on the wet, muddy bank. The next moment, the little dog fell into the deep, narrow ditch. The walls were extremely steep (陡峭的) and slippery, and the water inside was rising quickly. Trapped at the bottom, Buddy struggled desperately but without result, letting out frightened and painful cries.
Mia was frozen with horror and panic. She immediately went down on her knees by the ditch, stretching her arms as far as possible, trying hard to reach her beloved dog. But the ditch was too deep and the bank too loose. Every time Buddy struggled upward, he slipped back into the dirty water. Mia’s heart sank with fear and guilt; she cried for help at the top of her lungs; tears filled her eyes as she watched Buddy suffering.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing Mia’s desperate screams, Mrs Miller rushed over at once.

Little by little Buddy was pulled up.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Hearing Mia’s desperate screams, Mrs Miller rushed over at once. With no proper tools, she began calling for other neighbors loudly. In no time, many kind residents arrived quickly with ropes, wooden boards and soft blankets. They acted calmly and unitedly: Some held a long board firmly to stop the bank from collapsing, some carefully let down a soft basket with a strong rope, and others spoke in gentle voices to calm the scared and trembling dog. Everyone spared no effort and worked closely together to save the helpless little life.
Little by little Buddy was pulled up. Once out of the ditch, Buddy shook his muddy fur and tail excitedly seeming to show his sincere thanks. Mia held Buddy tightly, tears of relief rolling down her cheeks. She thanked the neighbors from the bottom of her heart. “This warm rescue not only saved a lovely little life but also showed the true spirit of our community,” she said. Their beautiful neighborhood was wonderful in environment, and it was more precious for its kindness, unity and warm love between neighbors.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了暴风雨后Mia带小狗Buddy散步,Buddy追赶蝴蝶时不慎滑入还在涨水的狭窄深沟中被困,Mia拼命施救无果,惊恐哭喊呼救。

A
In the high-speed modern world, isn’t it a pleasure to slow down in a walkable city to enjoy the sound of a street performer, the smells of freshly-baked bread rising from a bakery, or the sight of neighbors smiling?
London, England
Though cars are everywhere today, many visitors and locals often choose to use a combination of walking, public transit, and cycling to avoid getting caught in an annoying traffic block. Some of the best walks in London are walks along the Thames. If the bustle (喧闹) of the city streets grows tiring, walkers can escape to the green of London’s beautiful parks.
Paris, France
While Paris may be the “City of Love” for many people, it’s the “City of Walking” to others. It’s hard to know where to begin with a city that would take many lifetimes to fully explore, but the banks of the Seine have to be in the running. Another essential Paris experience is taking a walk across the city’s many beautiful and historical bridges.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is legendary for its person-focused, rather than car-focused, streets. You can walk or bike to just about all of them, depending on your level of mobility. Even the walking or cycling between each stop is a destination in itself, with views of canals, amazing architecture, and lively streets.
Quebec City, Quebec, Canada
A confused traveler would be forgiven for thinking that they found themselves in Europe after a brief walk in this Canadian city. Naturally, Old Quebec City — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is one of the loveliest areas to walk through. Exploring this neighborhood is like crossing the Atlantic without the heavy price and long flight.
1. What can people in London do to relax from busy streets?
A. Go to parks. B. Live in old towns.
C. Work in quiet places. D. Drive along the river.
2. Where can visitors enjoy canals while walking?
A. In London. B. In Paris. C. In Amsterdam. D. In Quebec City.
3. What do we know about Quebec City?
A. It is full of traffic jams. B. It has car-centered streets.
C. It is a famous romantic city. D. It feels like a European city.
B
In his book Speed: How it Explains the World, Vaclav Smil explores the concept of speed, which humans have long regarded as impressive, magical and highly desirable. He interprets speed from two aspects: the physical rate at which objects move within a certain time and a broader measure of changes in individuals, groups and social systems. Adopting a data-based approach, the book covers a wide range of topics, from natural events including volcanoes and species evolution to human creations such as traditional sailing ships and modern supercomputers.
Technological innovations, especially the replacement of animal power with steam and electric power, have greatly raised the pace of life and production. Faster transportation, more efficient production and extraordinary economic growth have taken place worldwide. People’s average life expectancy has increased greatly, and advanced technology makes rapid medical progress possible.
Nevertheless, the uncontrolled desire for speed brings obvious disadvantages. High work pressure caused by extreme efficiency leads to more accidents in workplaces like factories and warehouses. Higher driving speed sharply increases the risk of serious injury or death in traffic accidents. For commercial airplanes, high speed results in extremely high fuel consumption, so speed has to be balanced with economic benefits. Moreover, heavy traffic in urban areas actually reduces people’s real travelling speed.
Smil regards himself as a speed sceptic (怀疑论者). He is not against speed itself but advocates a reasonable and balanced attitude. We should welcome higher speed where it brings real benefits, such as timely medical treatment, and slow down where it threatens safety, the environment or social equality. We should never seek speed blindly or run after it for its own sake.
Reviewer Richard Dunn agrees with Smil’s central opinion but argues that the book should focus more on contemporary society rather than the long history of the Earth. He also questions whether continuous growth, instead of speed, is the key concern in modern politics and economy. He believes deeper reflections on modern lifestyle would make the book more meaningful and practical.
4. How does Smil develop his ideas in the book?
A. By giving living guidance. B. By covering different fields.
C. By telling historical stories. D. By showing economic data.
5. What is a probable result of overseeking speed?
A. More green transport. B. Reduced traffic pressure.
C. Unexpected risks at work. D. Quicker medical development.
6. What can be learned about Smil’s book?
A. It ignores Earth’s history. B. It advocates continuous progress.
C. It offers modern lifestyle advice. D. It focuses less on modern society.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Take a Wise Look at Life’s Pace
B. Avoid Hidden Risks in Daily Life
C. Master Skills of Modern Technologies
D. Raise Work Efficiency in Good Ways
C
As holidaymakers travel to unfamiliar places, this means demand for online customer reviews. Whether you are looking on Tripadvisor, Airbnb or Amazon, you will almost certainly be guided by reviews from other people. Should you be? The short answer is yes: better to have some information than none. But the weaknesses of online reviews are evident.
For products with some objective measures of quality, there is a big gap between the views of customers and experts. A study in 2016 found that user ratings for 1,272 items listed on Amazon.com bore little relation to either the decision of Consumer Reports, an American product-testing organization, or to their resale value. That might be because consumers place greater value on more subjective things like a product’s brand.
But if ratings are based on subjective criteria, then another problem arises: What if your tastes differ from other people’s? The best book ever, according to members of GoodReads, an online community of book lovers, is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. You may agree, but plenty of people do not.
Another problem is that the people who bother to leave reviews and ratings may not be representative of consumers as a whole. A Spanish study in 2020 examined the distribution of ratings left in around 280 million reviews of more than 2 million products and services on 25 different platforms. It confirms a familiar pattern: a polar distribution of ratings, with more of them at the extremes of the scale than in the middle, towards more positive ratings. The reason? Extreme experiences, good and bad, are more likely to inspire reviews. Besides, people who have chosen to buy something are already more likely to be satisfied with it.
But consumers can also help themselves. Researchers suggest that people put too much weight on the overall average rating. The absolute number of reviews is a better indicator of actual popularity. And it is the detail in a review that tells you whether the person writing it prefers young-adult fiction to other genres. Reviews, then, are even more useful if you read them.
8. What is the author’s attitude towards online reviews?
A. Uncaring. B. Dismissive. C. Cautious. D. Approving.
9. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Resale value decides product quality. B. Experts judge products more objectively.
C. Customers ignore subjective preferences. D. Expert opinions are more widely accepted.
10. Why do online ratings tend to be polarized?
A. Platforms prefer positive reviews. B. Most buyers are difficult to please.
C. Few users share their real experiences. D. Strong feelings encourage users to comment.
11. What does the author suggest readers do about online reviews?
A. Check reviews in detail. B. Follow others’ choices blindly.
C. Ignore the total number of reviews. D. Depend on average ratings completely.
D
An international team of researchers has genetically modified a probiotic yeast (益生酵母) called Saccharomyces boulardii to make it safer for the elderly and people in poor health. This yeast is widely used to protect and improve gut (肠) health, but it has been reported to cause serious bloodstream infections in people with weak bodies, babies and the elderly. “We wondered whether it was possible to genetically modify this yeast to make it safer for sensitive patients,” said Alexandra Imre, the first author of the study.
In the study, researchers tested different kinds of yeast collected from commercial probiotic products and patient samples, including two who had suffered infections caused by the yeast. They infected weak mice with these different kinds and studied their harmful effects. They also examined how the yeast acted under difficult living conditions, especially in environments with high levels of salt. Imre explained, “The kinds of yeast that were most harmful in our mouse study were also those that could best survive high-salt environments.”
The team then centered on two key genes, ENA1 and NHA1, which help the yeast subsist under high-salt stress. They removed these genes and repeated the experiments. Deleting the NHA1 gene produced little effect, but removing ENA1 greatly reduced the harm of the yeast. “Before deleting ENA1, mice infected with the most harmful yeast had a survival rate of only 30-40%,” Imre noted. “After editing, the survival rate rose to 100% in our six-day experiment.”
Further tests proved the modified yeast still kept its probiotic functions. “It could stop the growth of harmful bacteria and live well in the gut just like common probiotic,” added Nathan Crook, co-author of the paper.
The study clearly shows the close connection between salt stress tolerance and the harmfulness of the yeast. Though more research is needed to fully explain the biological rules behind it, the findings offer new hope for developing safe probiotic treatments for patients who cannot use traditional probiotics.
12. Why did the researchers genetically modify the yeast?
A. To increase its growth speed.
B. To make it safer for weak patients.
C. To discover new types of probiotics.
D. To help it resist high-salt environments.
13. What is proved by the mouse experiments?
A. Salt-tolerant yeast is more harmful.
B. Commercial yeast causes no infections.
C. Salt can reduce the yeast’s harmfulness.
D. All yeast acts the same in high-salt conditions.
14. What does the underlined word “subsist” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Store energy. B. Change genes. C. Keep alive. D. Fight illnesses.
15. What does paragraph 4 mainly convey to us?
A. Salt stress kills harmful bacteria rapidly.
B. The genes affect the yeast’s growth speed.
C. High salt levels limit the growth of the yeast.
D. The modified yeast still works as a probiotic.

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。
After a violent overnight rainstorm, the peaceful neighborhood finally welcomed a fresh and bright morning. The community was well-designed with clean paths, green trees, thick bushes and carefully arranged landscapes, making it a comfortable and lovely home for every resident. People living here took deep pride in their harmonious neighborhood and treasured the beautiful environment with all their hearts. However, the sudden heavy rain left the ground wet and muddy, and the ditches (沟渠) hidden in the corners were filled with rising water, bringing unexpected dangers.
Mia, a kind young resident who had lived in the community for years, took her lovely dog Buddy for a walk after the rain. Breathing the fresh air, she admired the clean and tidy neighborhood she loved so much. Soon she met Mrs Miller, a friendly and warm-hearted neighbor. They greeted each other warmly and chatted happily, enjoying the quiet beauty of their beloved community while Buddy ran around cheerfully, full of energy.
Suddenly, a colorful butterfly flew past them. Amazed and curious, Buddy rushed after it at once. Before Mia could stop him, his paws (爪子) slipped on the wet, muddy bank. The next moment, the little dog fell into the deep, narrow ditch. The walls were extremely steep (陡峭的) and slippery, and the water inside was rising quickly. Trapped at the bottom, Buddy struggled desperately but without result, letting out frightened and painful cries.
Mia was frozen with horror and panic. She immediately went down on her knees by the ditch, stretching her arms as far as possible, trying hard to reach her beloved dog. But the ditch was too deep and the bank too loose. Every time Buddy struggled upward, he slipped back into the dirty water. Mia’s heart sank with fear and guilt; she cried for help at the top of her lungs; tears filled her eyes as she watched Buddy suffering.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing Mia’s desperate screams, Mrs Miller rushed over at once.
