Here are some of the charming book towns from around the world that every book lover or collector should explore.
Hay-on-Wye
A quiet revolution began in 1961 when Richard Booth started to fill the empty buildings in his hometown in Wales with secondhand books to sell. Soon, people from across the United Kingdom flooded this sleepy village. As word of his success spread, more villages and towns around the world followed suit.
Torup
Torup, which is situated 60 kilometers north of Denmark’s capital of Copenhagen, has a population of 374 people. Here, locals put out the best and most high-quality secondhand books from donations out for sale in the 10 “shops” along the rural roads. These “shops” include a garage, a workman’s shelter and even a bookshelf at a farm entrance. All the transactions are processed on a self-help and honesty basis where customers leave their money in a jar in exchange for their purchases.
St-Pierre-de-Clages
Offering year-round book exhibitions and literary activities for children, the village of St-Pierre-de-Clages is home to Switzerland’s only book town. Since 1993, a book festival has been hosted every last weekend of August and has attracted visitors from all over French-speaking Switzerland and neighbors. It also offers insight into book-related professions such as illustration and old printing techniques. So, it has become a welcoming space for writers and publishing houses to meet and for various artists to display their work.
Wünsdorf-Waldstadt
Located about 20 kilometers south of Berlin, Wünsdorf-Waldstadt offers year-round events, including readings, book exhibitions, military vehicle shows and guided tours. This town was especially known for its three large shops that have a huge collection of ancient books on topics such as poetry, philosophy, classical literature, and many more.
21. What can we know about Richard Booth?
A. He was born in Wales in 1916. B. He was a very famous book collector.
C. He started the first book town in the world. D. He set up new shops to sell books in his hometown.
22. Where can visitors buy books on a self-help basis?
A. In Torup. B. In St-Pierre-de-Clages.
C. In Hay-on-Wye. D. In Wünsdorf-Waldstadt.
23. What do the last two book towns have in common?
A. They have military vehicle shows. B. They offer various year-round activities.
C. They are visited mostly by French-speakers. D. They are known for valuable ancient books.
B
Reyhaneh Maktoufi is a science communication specialist, social science researcher and National Geographic Explorer who obtained her degree in media, technology and society with a focus on science. Much of what Maktoufi is doing is helping scientists first understand who they’re talking to, and then develop the best approach to do it.
“It is the science of science communication. Practically, it looks like conducting surveys to identify audiences’ values, then considering how to deliver the message,” explains Maktoufi.
She stresses that science communication can bring people together and that we need a language for science and society to talk to each other.
“There are many ways to say the same thing. If you’re not speaking the audience’s language, they will not understand your message,” says Maktoufi. “The same conservation speech, for instance, should emphasize re-wilding when it is directed at hunting communities. However, it should highlight environmental justice concerns for activist groups.”
Maktoufi started bridging the gap between scientific and common language at the Adler Planetarium Space Visualization Lab seven years ago. There, she began a journey of investigating a seemingly simple question: What makes people curious about science? And her work demonstrated that effective science communication doesn’t eliminate complexity, but it transforms it into curiosity.
“I have noticed something strange about effective science communication: Some degree of difficulty can be an asset,” she says. “It actually draws people in, and creates enough friction necessary for deeper engagement. Of course, it can’t be too difficult. Otherwise, you’ll lose people.”
Growing up, Maktoufi enjoyed reading Greek mythology, where the knowledge of stars is disguised (伪装) as dramas of war and romance. Those dramas helped her make sense of the
complexity and mystery of the night sky.
“They turned those stars into lovers, siblings, parents... and sometimes, all of them all at once. They gave them life. Thank you, Greek mythology,” she laughs.
24. Who are most likely to attend Reyhaneh Maktoufi’s speeches?
A. Scientists. B. Parents. C. Students. D. Politicians.
25. Why does Reyhaneh Maktoufi mention the hunting communities and activist groups?
A. To explain their different concerns.
B. To highlight the conflicts among them.
C. To stress the challenge to please the listeners.
D. To show the importance of knowing the audience.
26. Which is closest in meaning to “asset” in paragraph 6?
A. Threat. B. Cause. C. Something useful. D. Anything harmful.
27. What does Reyhaneh Maktoufi most probably imply in the last paragraph?
A. Curiosity is more important than accuracy.
B. Stories can help us understand complex things.
C. Greek mythology should be included in textbooks.
D. Her career choice was inspired by Greek mythology.
C
In recent years, public health and nutrition experts want to make Americans healthier and they are targeting ultra-processed foods. But here’s the dilemma: they can’t even agree on the benefits and harms of ultra-processed foods.
The term ultra-processed food was developed by Brazilian researchers to describe the level of processing foods undergo. They came up with the NOVA classification system. On one end of the system, there’s unprocessed or minimally processed foods-such as an apple or frozen peas. On the other end, there’s ultra-processed foods, which contain additives like artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. Think processed packaged cookies and candies, sweetened drinks and frozen ready meals.
“Evidence shows that consumption of ultra-processed foods leads to a host of health harms-including an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes, obesity, certain cancers and even depression,” warns Dariush Mozaffarian, head of the Food & Medicine Institute at Tufts University.
On the other side of the debate, you have people like Julia Wolfson, a professor of Johns Hopkins University, who think the focus should be on the overall nutritional quality of foods.
“Not all foods that fit the definition of ultra-processed are unhealthy,” she argues. “For instance, packaged wholegrain breads and some yogurts are considered ultra-processed, but they can be beneficial for health. I think it’s important to identify foods that are of most concern for health, and not just treat all ultra-processed foods with the same broad brush.”
If experts are disagreeing about exactly what to do, what can the average consumer do?
“Get in the habit of reading ingredient lists. If it’s really long and full of flavors and colorings, try to find an alternative product with the fewest of those ingredients that you don’t know and can’t pronounce,” says Wolfson. “You might not always find an option that’s not ultra-processed, but you can try to maximize the nutrition and minimize the processed ingredients.”
28. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Summarize the previous paragraph. B. Add some background information.
C. Provide some advice for the readers. D. Introduce a new scientific definition.
29. What is Dariush Mozaffarian’s attitude to ultra-processed foods?
A. Tolerant. B. Objective. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.
30. What would Julia Wolfson most probably suggest we do?
A. Select foods with the fewest additives. B. Avoid even minimally processed food.
C. Check each item on the ingredient list. D. Choose foods that are beautifully colored.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Not All Processed Foods Should Be Treated as Equals
B. Experts Still Struggle to Define Ultra-Processed Foods
C. Opinions Are Sharply Divided About Ultra-Processed Foods
D. Strict Guidelines Should Be Issued to Regulate Food Processing
D
City life has its benefits, but usually at the expense of the environment. However, a trend in urban planning is quietly taking root throughout the world: Miyawaki forests.
Also known as “microforests” or “tiny forests”, the concept was inspired by the work of ecologist Akira Miyawaki back in the 1970s.
As a young graduate student in the late 1950s, Akira Miyawaki learned about the idea of potential native vegetation (PNV). This guided his explorations of the well-preserved forests around the ancient temples in his country. Eventually, he determined that they were time capsules, showing how forests were layered together from four categories of native plantings: main tree species, sub-species, shrubs, and ground-covering herbs. Using this four-category system, Miyawaki designed his own method of planting forests.
Miyawaki’s method works like this: The soil of a future forest site is analyzed and then improved, using locally available sustainable materials. About 50 to 100 local plant species from the above four categories are selected and planted in a mix like they would be found growing naturally in the wild. They are planted very closely — 30,000 to 50,000 per hectares as opposed to 1,000 per hectare in commercial forestry. For a period of two to three years, the site is monitored, watered and weeded to give the new forest every chance to establish itself.
During this early period, the plantings compete with each other for space and access to light and water — a battle that encourages much faster growth. In conventional forests, five to ten centimeters of growth per year is considered the norm, depending on the species. In the Miyawaki method, plants grow about 10 times faster.
Over the past decade, the Miyawaki method’s popularity has reached new heights. And its success isn’t limited to large projects. In fact, one of the method’s greatest strengths is its scalability: With the right planning, even backyards, schoolyards or corporate campuses can become microforests.
However, some environmental groups reacted negatively to the method, saying whatever its charms, it shouldn’t prevent us from thinking critically about the endless variety of the true ecosystems, nor about the pressing need to protect Earth’s remaining native and natural forests before we need to engineer copies.
32. Why did Akira Miyawaki go to the forests around the ancient temples?
A. He wanted to find peace there. B. He was in search for a native ecosystem.
C. He tried to test the concept of PNV. D. He hoped to get inspiration for his book.
33. What is a requirement for the Miyawaki forests?
A. They have to be native plantings. B. They must be rare species.
C. They need to be planted by temples. D. They should be ancient trees.
34. Which factor contributes to the faster growth of the Miyawaki forests?
A. Richer soil. B. Brighter sunlight. C. Bigger size. D. Stronger competition.
35. What are the environmental groups most probably worried about?
A. The statistics might not be reliable. B. The method has not been well tested.
C. The focus of protection would be shifted. D. The costs of engineered forests are too high.

Here are some budgeting tips that will help us make more informed decisions about our money — and our life.
Don’t budget just because we think we should. If we’re budgeting just because we think that’s what responsible grown-ups do, that’s not motivational. ____36____. Then we have a reason to say no to that $50 dinner, because we have something to say yes to now.
Follow the 50-30-20 method. When we get started, try the 50-30-20 method. The largest part, 50%, of take-home income should go toward basic living expenses — housing, groceries, etc. Then 30% is for optional expenses for such things as entertainment and clothes. ____37____.
Use the power of scarcity. With credit cards, we’ve gotten really used to the idea that we never really run out of money. But having a sense of scarcity can be helpful when we’re trying to save. Remember back when we were kids and all we had was that $5 from babysitting or doing housework? ____38____. So try to assign a certain amount of money for each budgeting category every month, and when we run out, it’s out.
____39____. It’s unlikely that we’ll reach our budget goal just by cutting back on coffees. Housing, food and transportation are usually the biggest expenses. If we get a roommate or move to a cheaper place, we can save a lot of money. ____40____. But they can help us save so much money.
A. Stay away from costly habits
B. They’re hard decisions, obviously
C. A roommate is worth a hundred coffees
D. The rest should go for savings or paying debt
E. Usually, 20% is a huge amount to be put aside each month
F. Instead, set a specific and meaningful goal, like saving for a vacation
G. We were very careful about how to spend that money because once we did, it was gone

But as she began, the plan quickly ____46____.
“I decided that TikTok would be a(n) ____47____ way to document this project so my friends could keep up with my ____48____ and maybe discover something new,” continues August. “But my audience has since ____49____ to more than 40,000 across social platforms.”
She thinks that this project is especially ____50____ for the lesser-known museums that don’t often get press or social media coverage.
“There are some small museums that get a huge ____51____ in attendance and press after I have posted my videos. So it’s ____52____ to be able to play a small role in that success,” she adds. “As for my motivation to continue the project, it ____53____ the people. I want to connect with fascinating and ____54____ people who are making these museums what they are, and I get to connect with enthusiasts who want to find something ____55____ to do with their weekend.”

Across social media, every American netizen is saying ____56____ (joking) that “You met me at a very Chinese time of my life”, while performing activities like drinking Tsingtao beer or ____57____ (wear) a trendy Adidas Chinese jacket. The trend has become so crazy that even celebrities like comedian Jimmy Yang and influencer Hasan Piker take part in it. The joke has even evolved into variations like “You will become Chinese tomorrow” and “Chinamaxxing (acting increasingly more Chinese)”.
Are these jokes sincere ____58____ ironic (嘲讽)? Both.
When once-unthinkable forms of political tension and violence are being normalized in the US, many young Americans start dreaming ____59____ a different kind of modern life.

It has also become totally unavoidable that China is on everyone’s mind. Nowadays, ____61____ you live, it is natural for you ____62____ (surround) by things made in China: The solar panels powering the Global South are made in China; the world’s best-selling EV brand, which officially ____63____ (overtake) Tesla last year, is made in China. Even the most-talked-about open-source AI model is from China.
“If you still refuse to accept your newfound Chinese ____64____ (identify),” influencer Chao Ban joked in a TikTok video that has gotten over 340,000 _____65_____ (like). “Let me just ask you this: Aren’t you reading this on a Chinese app, probably on a made-in-China phone, in clothes that are made in China?”

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。
As Mark and his mother were watching their favorite show, the sound of his father’s coughing kept coming in from the balcony. With every cough, Mark’s heart ached with worry. He shifted on the sofa, trying to focus on the screen, but he couldn’t help thinking about what the cigarettes were doing to his dad’s lungs. Why would he risk his health? What if it led to an early death? Had he ever thought about how much it would hurt his family?
Weeks earlier, Mark had overheard a tense conversation between his parents. His mother’s voice was soft but filled with worry. “Please think about your health,” she pleaded, “for Mark’s sake, if not your own.”
“I know it’s bad,” his father responded, sounding both impatient and weary. “I’ve tried to quit. It’s just harder than you think.”
Later that night, after his father went to bed, Mark shared his fears with his mother. She sighed gently. “I’ve talked to your father so many times, but it hasn’t made a difference. Sometimes, he even gets defensive,” she said quietly. “But you should know — ever since you were born, he’s become more considerate. He never smokes indoors or around us. It’s his way of protecting us, even if he hasn’t been able to stop completely.”
Her words planted a seed of hope in Mark. That evening, he began a quiet campaign. He removed the cigarette pack from the living room table and replaced it with printed articles about the dangers of smoking. He hid the lighters, hoping that a small inconvenience might make a difference. Online, he searched for success stories — people who had quit against the odds. Finally, he wrote a heartfelt letter, pouring out his fears and his love, and left it on the living room table.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, a folded note lay on Mark’s bed.

Mark showed his father’s note to his mother.

M: Hi, Lisa. Actually, I just finished the first draft. Now, I’m using an AI writing assistant to improve the language and check my arguments.
W: An AI assistant? Isn’t that like cheating? I’ve avoided using AI for my assignments, worrying teachers might disapprove.
M: Not if you use it right. As a really smart study partner, AI doesn’t do the work for me. For example, it might say, “This part needs better support,” but then I will go find the support myself.
W: Hmm, that does sound helpful. I went the other way last semester with a math app. I got into the habit of just taking pictures of problems and copying the solutions. It really didn’t help me when exam time came, only to make things worse.
M: I see. That’s exactly the risk. The key is to stay actively involved.
W: I like that idea. Maybe I should give it another try, but set clear rules, like using it only to explain concepts I find difficult, not to do the work for me.

【原文】W: Welcome back, everyone. This is Global Wave Radio. Here’s something interesting. Yesterday, a teenage girl named Emma Reed from Vancouver, Canada, received a package from Switzerland. Inside was her sketchbook, lost three years ago during a school trip to the Swiss Alps. It was found by Lucas Weber, a high school art teacher, near a hiking trail in Interlaken in 2022. There was no name or address, but it contained beautiful drawings of mountains and forests, with a short poem on the cover. Impressed by the artwork and poem, Lucas kept the sketchbook and began searching online for its owner. Last month, he came across a news article about a Vancouver student organizing an environmental art exhibition using nature-themed paintings. The article quoted her poem — the very one on the cover of the sketchbook. Lucas contacted the author of the article, who helped him reach Emma, now 17. Soon, the sketchbook was returned. Emma was shocked and deeply moved. “I thought it was gone forever,” she said. “The sketchbook’s journey home reminds us that small acts of kindness can bridge distances and bring joy across time and borders.”

Here are some of the charming book towns from around the world that every book lover or collector should explore.
Hay-on-Wye
A quiet revolution began in 1961 when Richard Booth started to fill the empty buildings in his hometown in Wales with secondhand books to sell. Soon, people from across the United Kingdom flooded this sleepy village. As word of his success spread, more villages and towns around the world followed suit.
Torup
Torup, which is situated 60 kilometers north of Denmark’s capital of Copenhagen, has a population of 374 people. Here, locals put out the best and most high-quality secondhand books from donations out for sale in the 10 “shops” along the rural roads. These “shops” include a garage, a workman’s shelter and even a bookshelf at a farm entrance. All the transactions are processed on a self-help and honesty basis where customers leave their money in a jar in exchange for their purchases.
St-Pierre-de-Clages
Offering year-round book exhibitions and literary activities for children, the village of St-Pierre-de-Clages is home to Switzerland’s only book town. Since 1993, a book festival has been hosted every last weekend of August and has attracted visitors from all over French-speaking Switzerland and neighbors. It also offers insight into book-related professions such as illustration and old printing techniques. So, it has become a welcoming space for writers and publishing houses to meet and for various artists to display their work.
Wünsdorf-Waldstadt
Located about 20 kilometers south of Berlin, Wünsdorf-Waldstadt offers year-round events, including readings, book exhibitions, military vehicle shows and guided tours. This town was especially known for its three large shops that have a huge collection of ancient books on topics such as poetry, philosophy, classical literature, and many more.
21. What can we know about Richard Booth?
A. He was born in Wales in 1916. B. He was a very famous book collector.
C. He started the first book town in the world. D. He set up new shops to sell books in his hometown.
22. Where can visitors buy books on a self-help basis?
A. In Torup. B. In St-Pierre-de-Clages.
C. In Hay-on-Wye. D. In Wünsdorf-Waldstadt.
23. What do the last two book towns have in common?
A. They have military vehicle shows. B. They offer various year-round activities.
C. They are visited mostly by French-speakers. D. They are known for valuable ancient books.

Reyhaneh Maktoufi is a science communication specialist, social science researcher and National Geographic Explorer who obtained her degree in media, technology and society with a focus on science. Much of what Maktoufi is doing is helping scientists first understand who they’re talking to, and then develop the best approach to do it.
“It is the science of science communication. Practically, it looks like conducting surveys to identify audiences’ values, then considering how to deliver the message,” explains Maktoufi.
She stresses that science communication can bring people together and that we need a language for science and society to talk to each other.
“There are many ways to say the same thing. If you’re not speaking the audience’s language, they will not understand your message,” says Maktoufi. “The same conservation speech, for instance, should emphasize re-wilding when it is directed at hunting communities. However, it should highlight environmental justice concerns for activist groups.”
Maktoufi started bridging the gap between scientific and common language at the Adler Planetarium Space Visualization Lab seven years ago. There, she began a journey of investigating a seemingly simple question: What makes people curious about science? And her work demonstrated that effective science communication doesn’t eliminate complexity, but it transforms it into curiosity.
“I have noticed something strange about effective science communication: Some degree of difficulty can be an asset,” she says. “It actually draws people in, and creates enough friction necessary for deeper engagement. Of course, it can’t be too difficult. Otherwise, you’ll lose people.”
Growing up, Maktoufi enjoyed reading Greek mythology, where the knowledge of stars is disguised (伪装) as dramas of war and romance. Those dramas helped her make sense of the
complexity and mystery of the night sky.
“They turned those stars into lovers, siblings, parents... and sometimes, all of them all at once. They gave them life. Thank you, Greek mythology,” she laughs.
24. Who are most likely to attend Reyhaneh Maktoufi’s speeches?
A. Scientists. B. Parents. C. Students. D. Politicians.
25. Why does Reyhaneh Maktoufi mention the hunting communities and activist groups?
A. To explain their different concerns.
B. To highlight the conflicts among them.
C. To stress the challenge to please the listeners.
D. To show the importance of knowing the audience.
26. Which is closest in meaning to “asset” in paragraph 6?
A. Threat. B. Cause. C. Something useful. D. Anything harmful.
27. What does Reyhaneh Maktoufi most probably imply in the last paragraph?
A. Curiosity is more important than accuracy.
B. Stories can help us understand complex things.
C. Greek mythology should be included in textbooks.
D. Her career choice was inspired by Greek mythology.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍科学传播专家雷克哈内的工作内容、传播理念,以及她如何用合适方式拉近科学与大众距离。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Much of what Maktoufi is doing is helping scientists first understand who they’re talking to, and then develop the best approach to do it.(马克图菲所做的大部分工作是帮助科学家首先了解沟通对象,然后想出最佳沟通方式)”可知,她的服务对象主要是科研人员,最有可能听她讲座的是科学家。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“There are many ways to say the same thing. If you’re not speaking the audience’s language, they will not understand your message.(同一件事有多种表达方式,如果不用受众能听懂的语言,对方就无法理解信息)”可知,她列举不同群体的例子,是为了说明了解受众、因材施教表达的重要性。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段中的“It actually draws people in, and creates enough friction necessary for deeper engagement.(适度难度反而能吸引人深入了解、加强参与感)”可知,一定难度是有利条件,由此猜测asset意为“有用的东西、优势”。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Growing up, Maktoufi enjoyed reading Greek mythology, where the knowledge of stars is disguised as dramas of war and romance. Those dramas helped her make sense of the complexity and mystery of the night sky.(她从小读希腊神话,星空知识藏在故事里,故事帮她看懂复杂神秘的星空)”可知,她暗示故事能帮助人们理解复杂事物。
C
In recent years, public health and nutrition experts want to make Americans healthier and they are targeting ultra-processed foods. But here’s the dilemma: they can’t even agree on the benefits and harms of ultra-processed foods.
The term ultra-processed food was developed by Brazilian researchers to describe the level of processing foods undergo. They came up with the NOVA classification system. On one end of the system, there’s unprocessed or minimally processed foods-such as an apple or frozen peas. On the other end, there’s ultra-processed foods, which contain additives like artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. Think processed packaged cookies and candies, sweetened drinks and frozen ready meals.
“Evidence shows that consumption of ultra-processed foods leads to a host of health harms-including an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes, obesity, certain cancers and even depression,” warns Dariush Mozaffarian, head of the Food & Medicine Institute at Tufts University.
On the other side of the debate, you have people like Julia Wolfson, a professor of Johns Hopkins University, who think the focus should be on the overall nutritional quality of foods.
“Not all foods that fit the definition of ultra-processed are unhealthy,” she argues. “For instance, packaged wholegrain breads and some yogurts are considered ultra-processed, but they can be beneficial for health. I think it’s important to identify foods that are of most concern for health, and not just treat all ultra-processed foods with the same broad brush.”
If experts are disagreeing about exactly what to do, what can the average consumer do?
“Get in the habit of reading ingredient lists. If it’s really long and full of flavors and colorings, try to find an alternative product with the fewest of those ingredients that you don’t know and can’t pronounce,” says Wolfson. “You might not always find an option that’s not ultra-processed, but you can try to maximize the nutrition and minimize the processed ingredients.”
28. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Summarize the previous paragraph. B. Add some background information.
C. Provide some advice for the readers. D. Introduce a new scientific definition.
29. What is Dariush Mozaffarian’s attitude to ultra-processed foods?
A. Tolerant. B. Objective. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.
30. What would Julia Wolfson most probably suggest we do?
A. Select foods with the fewest additives. B. Avoid even minimally processed food.
C. Check each item on the ingredient list. D. Choose foods that are beautifully colored.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Not All Processed Foods Should Be Treated as Equals
B. Experts Still Struggle to Define Ultra-Processed Foods
C. Opinions Are Sharply Divided About Ultra-Processed Foods
D. Strict Guidelines Should Be Issued to Regulate Food Processing
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讨论了关于超加工食品的争议,专家们对其利弊存在分歧,并给出了消费者应对建议。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The term ultra-processed food was developed by Brazilian researchers to describe the level of processing foods undergo. They came up with the NOVA classification system. On one end of the system, there’s unprocessed or minimally processed foods-such as an apple or frozen peas. On the other end, there’s ultra-processed foods, which contain additives like artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. Think processed packaged cookies and candies, sweetened drinks and frozen ready meals.(“超加工食品”一词是由巴西研究人员发明的,用来描述食品加工的程度。他们提出了NOVA分类系统。在这个系统的一端,是未经加工或最少加工的食物,如苹果或冷冻豌豆。在另一端,是超加工食品,其中含有添加剂,如人工色素、香料和防腐剂。想想加工过的包装饼干和糖果、甜味饮料和冷冻即食食品)”可知,作者在第二段帮助理解什么是“超加工食品”,旨在为读者提供相关的背景信息。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““Evidence shows that consumption of ultra-processed foods leads to a host of health harms-including an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes, obesity, certain cancers and even depression,” warns Dariush Mozaffarian, head of the Food & Medicine Institute at Tufts University.(塔夫茨大学食品与药物研究所所长Dariush Mozaffarian警告说:“有证据表明,食用超加工食品会导致一系列健康危害,包括增加患2型糖尿病、肥胖、某些癌症甚至抑郁症的风险。”)”可知,Dariush Mozaffarian认为超加工食品对健康有害,因此他对其持反对态度。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Julia Wolfson的话“Get in the habit of reading ingredient lists. If it’s really long and full of flavors and colorings, try to find an alternative product with the fewest of those ingredients that you don’t know and can’t pronounce.(养成阅读成分表的习惯。如果配料表很长,而且充满了香料和色素,那就试着找一种替代品,用那些你不认识、不会发音的成分最少的替代品)”可知,Julia Wolfson建议选择添加剂少的食物。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“In recent years, public health and nutrition experts want to make Americans healthier and they are targeting ultra-processed foods. But here’s the dilemma: they can’t even agree on the benefits and harms of ultra-processed foods. (近年来,公共卫生和营养专家希望让美国人更健康,他们正将矛头对准超加工食品。但问题在于:他们甚至无法就超加工食品的益处和危害达成一致)”、第三段中Dariush Mozaffarian指出超加工食品导致多种健康危害和第四段中Julia Wolfson认为“Not all foods that fit the definition of ultra-processed are unhealthy (并非所有符合超加工定义的食品都不健康)”可知,本文主要围绕专家们对超加工食品的严重分歧展开。故C项“Opinions Are Sharply Divided About Ultra-Processed Foods (关于超加工食品的意见存在严重分歧)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。
D
City life has its benefits, but usually at the expense of the environment. However, a trend in urban planning is quietly taking root throughout the world: Miyawaki forests.
Also known as “microforests” or “tiny forests”, the concept was inspired by the work of ecologist Akira Miyawaki back in the 1970s.
As a young graduate student in the late 1950s, Akira Miyawaki learned about the idea of potential native vegetation (PNV). This guided his explorations of the well-preserved forests around the ancient temples in his country. Eventually, he determined that they were time capsules, showing how forests were layered together from four categories of native plantings: main tree species, sub-species, shrubs, and ground-covering herbs. Using this four-category system, Miyawaki designed his own method of planting forests.
Miyawaki’s method works like this: The soil of a future forest site is analyzed and then improved, using locally available sustainable materials. About 50 to 100 local plant species from the above four categories are selected and planted in a mix like they would be found growing naturally in the wild. They are planted very closely — 30,000 to 50,000 per hectares as opposed to 1,000 per hectare in commercial forestry. For a period of two to three years, the site is monitored, watered and weeded to give the new forest every chance to establish itself.
During this early period, the plantings compete with each other for space and access to light and water — a battle that encourages much faster growth. In conventional forests, five to ten centimeters of growth per year is considered the norm, depending on the species. In the Miyawaki method, plants grow about 10 times faster.
Over the past decade, the Miyawaki method’s popularity has reached new heights. And its success isn’t limited to large projects. In fact, one of the method’s greatest strengths is its scalability: With the right planning, even backyards, schoolyards or corporate campuses can become microforests.
However, some environmental groups reacted negatively to the method, saying whatever its charms, it shouldn’t prevent us from thinking critically about the endless variety of the true ecosystems, nor about the pressing need to protect Earth’s remaining native and natural forests before we need to engineer copies.
32. Why did Akira Miyawaki go to the forests around the ancient temples?
A. He wanted to find peace there. B. He was in search for a native ecosystem.
C. He tried to test the concept of PNV. D. He hoped to get inspiration for his book.
33. What is a requirement for the Miyawaki forests?
A. They have to be native plantings. B. They must be rare species.
C. They need to be planted by temples. D. They should be ancient trees.
34. Which factor contributes to the faster growth of the Miyawaki forests?
A. Richer soil. B. Brighter sunlight. C. Bigger size. D. Stronger competition.
35. What are the environmental groups most probably worried about?
A. The statistics might not be reliable. B. The method has not been well tested.
C. The focus of protection would be shifted. D. The costs of engineered forests are too high.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍一种独特的城市绿化方法:微型森林。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This guided his explorations of the well-preserved forests around the ancient temples in his country. Eventually, he determined that they were time capsules, showing how forests were layered together from four categories of native plantings: main tree species, sub-species, shrubs, and ground-covering herbs.(这促使他对本国那些保存完好的古寺庙周边的森林进行了深入考察。最终,他认定这些森林是时间胶囊,展示了从四种本土植物类别(主要树种、亚种、灌木和地被草本植物)层层叠叠构成的森林结构)”可知,Akira Miyawaki到寺庙周围的古树林去寻找当地的生态系统。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As a young graduate student in the late 1950s, Akira Miyawaki learned about the idea of potential native vegetation (PNV).(在20世纪50年代末,作为一位年轻的研究生,阿基拉·米亚瓦基接触到了“潜在原生植被”这一概念)”及第四段“About 50 to 100 local plant species from the above four categories are selected and planted in a mix like they would be found growing naturally in the wild.(从上述四类植物中,选取约50到100种本地植物,并以它们在野外自然生长的形态进行混合栽种)”可推断,这四种栽培物都必须是本地物种。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“During this early period, the plantings compete with each other for space and access to light and water — a battle that encourages much faster growth.(在这一早期阶段,植物们为了争夺空间、阳光和水分而相互竞争——这种竞争促使它们生长得更为迅速)”可知,是内部竞争让这些栽培物长得更快。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, some environmental groups reacted negatively to the method, saying whatever its charms, it shouldn’t prevent us from thinking critically about the endless variety of the true ecosystems, nor about the pressing need to protect Earth’s remaining native and natural forests before we need to engineer copies.(然而,一些环保组织对这种方法反应消极,他们表示,无论这种方法有何优点,都不应妨碍我们对真实生态系统这一无穷多样性的进行批判性思考,也不应妨碍我们对在需要复制之前保护地球现存的原始和自然森林这一紧迫需求的认识)”可推断,环保组织担心这个方法会转移焦点。

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。
Here are some budgeting tips that will help us make more informed decisions about our money — and our life.
Don’t budget just because we think we should. If we’re budgeting just because we think that’s what responsible grown-ups do, that’s not motivational. ____36____. Then we have a reason to say no to that $50 dinner, because we have something to say yes to now.
Follow the 50-30-20 method. When we get started, try the 50-30-20 method. The largest part, 50%, of take-home income should go toward basic living expenses — housing, groceries, etc. Then 30% is for optional expenses for such things as entertainment and clothes. ____37____.
Use the power of scarcity. With credit cards, we’ve gotten really used to the idea that we never really run out of money. But having a sense of scarcity can be helpful when we’re trying to save. Remember back when we were kids and all we had was that $5 from babysitting or doing housework? ____38____. So try to assign a certain amount of money for each budgeting category every month, and when we run out, it’s out.
____39____. It’s unlikely that we’ll reach our budget goal just by cutting back on coffees. Housing, food and transportation are usually the biggest expenses. If we get a roommate or move to a cheaper place, we can save a lot of money. ____40____. But they can help us save so much money.
A. Stay away from costly habits
B. They’re hard decisions, obviously
C. A roommate is worth a hundred coffees
D. The rest should go for savings or paying debt
E. Usually, 20% is a huge amount to be put aside each month
F. Instead, set a specific and meaningful goal, like saving for a vacation
G. We were very careful about how to spend that money because once we did, it was gone
【答案】36. F 37. D 38. G 39. C 40. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍几条实用理财预算小技巧,帮助人们理性规划开支、合理存钱、科学管理个人财务生活。
【36题详解】
根据上文“If we’re budgeting just because we think that’s what responsible grown-ups do, that’s not motivational.(如果我们做预算只是觉得有责任的成年人该这么做,根本没有动力)”以及下文“Then we have a reason to say no to that $50 dinner, because we have something to say yes to now.(这样我们就有理由拒绝高价晚餐,为目标存钱)”可知,此处建议不要盲目做预算,要设立有意义的具体目标,F选项“Instead, set a specific and meaningful goal, like saving for a vacation.(相反,设定一个具体且有意义的目标,比如存钱度假)”衔接上下文,符合语境。
【37题详解】
根据上文“The largest part, 50%, of take-home income should go toward basic living expenses... Then 30% is for optional expenses.(税后收入50%用于基本生活开销……30%用于休闲消费)”可知,此处需要补充剩余资金的用途,D选项“The rest should go for savings or paying debt.(剩下的钱用于储蓄或偿还债务)”对应前面的比例分配,贴合段落预算方法内容。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Remember back when we were kids and all we had was that $5 from babysitting or doing housework?(还记得小时候我们只有靠帮人看孩子或做家务挣来的那5美元吗?)”可知,此处承接童年花钱的感受,呼应资金稀缺要珍惜,G选项“We were very careful about how to spend that money because once we did, it was gone.(我们花钱格外谨慎,因为花完就没有了)”贴合语境,衔接自然。
【39题详解】
根据后文“It’s unlikely that we’ll reach our budget goal just by cutting back on coffees. Housing, food and transportation are usually the biggest expenses.(只少喝咖啡省不下多少钱,住房、伙食、交通才是大额开销)”可知,本段建议从大额开支入手省钱,C选项“A roommate is worth a hundred coffees.(找一个合租室友,胜过省下百杯咖啡的钱)”贴合段落核心观点,统领全段。
【40题详解】
根据上文“If we get a roommate or move to a cheaper place, we can save a lot of money.(合租、换便宜住处能省下一大笔钱)”以及后文“But they can help us save so much money.(但这些做法能省下很多钱)”可知,此处形成转折,说明这些做法并不容易,B选项“They’re hard decisions, obviously.(显然,这些都是很难做出的决定)”构成转折逻辑,符合语境。

Jane August launched what seemed like a straightforward plan: She would visit every museum in New York City and ____41____ a short video of each one.
She ____42____ it would take three years at most. But with 136 museums documented since 2021, she still has about 64 to go. And with ____43____ museums opening and some old ones changing so ____44____ that they deserve a revisit, the 26-year-old now says she’s realistically aiming to complete the project before she’s 30.
“At first, I started the project to get myself out of my house and experience the ____45____ in the city,” says August. “I wasn’t a big museum fan before starting the project, and had only been to around seven by the time.”
But as she began, the plan quickly ____46____.
“I decided that TikTok would be a(n) ____47____ way to document this project so my friends could keep up with my ____48____ and maybe discover something new,” continues August. “But my audience has since ____49____ to more than 40,000 across social platforms.”
She thinks that this project is especially ____50____ for the lesser-known museums that don’t often get press or social media coverage.
“There are some small museums that get a huge ____51____ in attendance and press after I have posted my videos. So it’s ____52____ to be able to play a small role in that success,” she adds. “As for my motivation to continue the project, it ____53____ the people. I want to connect with fascinating and ____54____ people who are making these museums what they are, and I get to connect with enthusiasts who want to find something ____55____ to do with their weekend.”

The trend has become so crazy that even celebrities like comedian Jimmy Yang and influencer Hasan Piker take part in it. The joke has even evolved into variations like “You will become Chinese tomorrow” and “Chinamaxxing (acting increasingly more Chinese)”.
Are these jokes sincere ____58____ ironic (嘲讽)? Both.
When once-unthinkable forms of political tension and violence are being normalized in the US, many young Americans start dreaming ____59____ a different kind of modern life. And they have found a pretty good one in China. With ____60____ (it) awe-inspiring skylines and abundant high-speed trains, the country serves as a symbol of what Americans believe their own country has lost.
It has also become totally unavoidable that China is on everyone’s mind. Nowadays, ____61____ you live, it is natural for you ____62____ (surround) by things made in China: The solar panels powering the Global South are made in China; the world’s best-selling EV brand, which officially ____63____ (overtake) Tesla last year, is made in China. Even the most-talked-about open-source AI model is from China.
“If you still refuse to accept your newfound Chinese ____64____ (identify),” influencer Chao Ban joked in a TikTok video that has gotten over 340,000 _____65_____ (like). “Let me just ask you this: Aren’t you reading this on a Chinese app, probably on a made-in-China phone, in clothes that are made in China?”

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了美国的社交平台上出现了一股“成为中国人”的风潮,记者对这一现象进行了报道和分析。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意:在社交媒体上,每个美国网友都在开玩笑地说:“你在‘很中国’的人生阶段遇到了我”,同时还会做诸如喝青岛啤酒或穿着时髦的阿迪达斯中国限定夹克之类的事。此处修饰动词saying,应用副词“jokingly开玩笑地”作状语。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处和空前的drinking为并列成分,在介词like的宾语,主语为every American netizen,与wear之间为主动关系,用所给动词的动名词形式wearing。
【58题详解】
考查连词。句意:这些玩笑是真诚的,还是嘲讽的?句中的sincere和ironic为并列的两种不同情况,表示“或者”,应用连词or。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:当曾经不可想象的政治紧张与暴力行为在美国逐渐常态化,许多美国年轻人开始憧憬另一种不同的现代生活。此处意为“憧憬,梦想……”,表达为dream of/about。
【60题详解】
考查代词。句意:凭借着其令人惊叹的城市天际线和四通八达的高铁,中国成为了一个象征,代表着美国人认为自己所失去的那些东西。此处指代“中国的”,故应用形容词性物主代词“its它的”作定语,修饰名词skylines及high-speed trains。
【61题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:如今,无论你生活在哪里,你都很自然地会被中国制造的东西所包围:为全球南方国家供电的太阳能电池板是中国制造的;去年正式超越特斯拉的全球最畅销电动车品牌也是中国制造的。此处意为“无论你住在哪里”,故应用连接副词wherever。
【62题详解】
考查不定式。句意:如今,无论你生活在哪里,你都很自然地会被中国制造的东西所包围:为全球南方国家供电的太阳能电池板是中国制造的;去年正式超越特斯拉的全球最畅销电动车品牌也是中国制造的。此处为“It+形容词(for sb./ sth.)+ to do”结构,用不定式to do结构,you与surround之间为被动关系,用不定式的被动to be surrounded。
【63题详解】
考查时态。句意同上。此处在句中作谓语动词,主语为which,与overtake之间为主动关系,且根据时间状语last year可知,句子陈述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:“如果你仍然拒绝接受你新发现的中国身份,”网红“超班”在一个TikTok视频中开玩笑说,该视频已获得超过34万个赞。此处在句中作宾语,用名词“identity身份”。

Integrity: The Foundation of Other Qualities and Our Society
In our rapidly changing society, I firmly believe that integrity is the most important virtue. It is the fountain for other qualities and it is the cornerstone upon which our society is built.
Integrity means matching our actions with our values, even when no one is watching. It is closely linked to such vital qualities as honesty and loyalty which not only shape our personal character but also influence those around us. A society grounded in integrity fosters cooperation, reduces conflict, and ultimately creates a harmonious environment for all.
Therefore, it is high time that we made a conscious commitment to becoming a person of integrity, starting from this very moment.

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。
As Mark and his mother were watching their favorite show, the sound of his father’s coughing kept coming in from the balcony. With every cough, Mark’s heart ached with worry. He shifted on the sofa, trying to focus on the screen, but he couldn’t help thinking about what the cigarettes were doing to his dad’s lungs. Why would he risk his health? What if it led to an early death? Had he ever thought about how much it would hurt his family?
Weeks earlier, Mark had overheard a tense conversation between his parents. His mother’s voice was soft but filled with worry. “Please think about your health,” she pleaded, “for Mark’s sake, if not your own.”
“I know it’s bad,” his father responded, sounding both impatient and weary. “I’ve tried to quit. It’s just harder than you think.”
Later that night, after his father went to bed, Mark shared his fears with his mother. She sighed gently. “I’ve talked to your father so many times, but it hasn’t made a difference. Sometimes, he even gets defensive,” she said quietly. “But you should know — ever since you were born, he’s become more considerate. He never smokes indoors or around us. It’s his way of protecting us, even if he hasn’t been able to stop completely.”
Her words planted a seed of hope in Mark. That evening, he began a quiet campaign. He removed the cigarette pack from the living room table and replaced it with printed articles about the dangers of smoking. He hid the lighters, hoping that a small inconvenience might make a difference. Online, he searched for success stories — people who had quit against the odds. Finally, he wrote a heartfelt letter, pouring out his fears and his love, and left it on the living room table.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, a folded note lay on Mark’s bed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mark showed his father’s note to his mother.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The next morning, a folded note lay on Mark’s bed. In his father’s familiar handwriting, it read: “Son, I see what you’re doing. And I know it’s bad — I want to stop, too. It’s just harder than it looks.” Reading those words, Mark felt a shift inside. For the first time, he realized his father wasn’t refusing to change. He was just struggling with a stubborn bad habit. So he decided to try a different approach.
Mark showed his father’s note to his mother. As they read it together, an idea occurred to them: They would mark smoke-free days on the calendar. On those days, they would exercise or do something fun together. Little by little, the coughing grew less frequent. The balcony, once filled with the sound of coughing, now echoed with laughter. Even a little progress strengthened their resolve, and they grew confident that they could overcome the challenge as long as they faced it side by side, as a family.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述马克心疼父亲吸烟咳嗽,多次默默劝说、悄悄准备戒烟资料并写下真情信件,希望帮助父亲戒掉烟瘾、守护家人健康的暖心家庭故事。

2. 续写线索
