Sometimes one plus one does equal three, as was the case when Dave McNee first met Claudia Mandekic. Mandekic, then training to be a teacher, told McNee how hard it was to get students excited about math. He made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?”
This idea got its first shot in 2011. The pair, who had launched a tutoring nonprofit, were invited to run a summer program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges School. When the students first showed up, they weren’t exactly thrilled, Mandekic recalls. But she and McNee taught them shooting techniques while also having them calculate their field-goal percentage.
The winning team was the group with the highest total percentage and most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so focused on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” Mandekic says. “I realized we might be onto something.”
The program, later named BallMatics, soon spread across Toronto schools. Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. BallMatics has been hitting only net since its founding. In 2019, the organization started a private high school called Uchenna Academy. It now serves 26 full-time students and provides financial assistance for those who need it. Kids with exceptional basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics after-school programs.
The program’s value is clear: last year, three of the first graduates landed university scholarships for their classroom performance, not on the court — though they also made the basketball teams.
Duane Douglas, now 20 and studying for an education degree, was one of them. He explains the secret of the program’s success. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game. Coaches would bench students who didn’t keep up in class. We were student athletes, after all, not athlete students.”
4. What is the major function of the first paragraph?
A. To highlight the difficulty of math teaching.
B. To question a popular belief about teaching.
C. To explain how a teaching team was formed.
D. To introduce the birth of a new teaching idea.
5. How did the students react when the first BallMatics session ended?
A. They were too engaged to leave. B. They eagerly asked to play again.
C. They felt completely exhausted. D. They found the math problem too hard.
6. What does the phrase “hitting only net” in paragraph 4 suggest about the BallMatics program?
A. It faced significant challenges. B. It achieved continuous success.
C. It became financially profitable. D. It focused only on basketball skills.
7. What key lesson can be drawn from the program of BallMatics?
A. Interest can be a powerful drive for learning.
B. Discipline in sports can lead to academic success.
C. Sports can open another door to higher education.
D. Hands-on practice is an effective way to teach math.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A
【解析】

词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The program, later named BallMatics, soon spread across Toronto schools.(该项目随后被命名为BallMatics,很快在多伦多各所学校推广开来。)”以及“In 2019, the organization started a private high school called Uchenna Academy.( 2019年,该机构创办了一所名为乌琴纳学院的私立高中。)”可知,该项目不断推广、发展壮大、稳步推进,发展态势极好,由此可推断,画线短语表示“该项目持续取得成功”。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第六段中的“If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game. Coaches would bench students who didn’t keep up in class. We were student athletes, after all, not athlete students.(如果我们不完成学习任务,就不能参加比赛。教练会让跟不上课堂进度的学生坐冷板凳。我们终究是学生运动员,而非运动型学生。)” 可知,项目依托篮球兴趣调动学生学习积极性,由此可知,兴趣可以成为学习的强大动力。
C
On a backpacking trip through the Himalayas, my bruises became the truest souvenirs — scars (伤疤) carrying a story only I can tell, with no hidden costs to the planet. Perhaps that’s why my desire for typical souvenirs has faded. I now value experiences over objects. But maybe that’s just me. Two out of three Americans bring back souvenirs. When a friend hands me a fridge magnet, I feel uneasy. What does it mean to take home a piece of a place, and at what cost?
Humans have always had a deep-rooted habit of collecting. According to psychologist Vanavi Madakal, looking at a souvenir can bring back happy emotions as the brain links it to positive experiences. But the drive goes beyond memory. “At the core of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and recognised,” she says. For many, souvenirs satisfy a need to say, “I was there!”
Yet, while travellers today are more aware of their impact, souvenirs have been somewhat left behind. Take handmade scarves for example. A genuine piece can be costly, driving travellers toward cheap imitations. This creates a “vicious cycle”: frustrated artisans may turn to using low-quality materials just to feed their families. While purchasing fake goods might seem to support local sellers, the true cost is often borne by artisans who rely on time-honoured craftsmanship.
So, how can you buy souvenirs that are ethical, sustainable and meaningful? “It’s not just about buying or choosing carefully, it’s about rejecting and explaining why,” says Justin Francis of Responsible Travel. One practical step is looking for labels that certify genuine local goods. Asking friends what they want can also be more meaningful than guessing. And remember: a good souvenir doesn’t have to be something physical. Join a cooking class, and you take home skills that keep giving.
Ultimately, there’s no universal rule. But next time you’re grabbing a quick airport souvenir, pause and reflect. “Think back to the Silk Road — trade was personal,” says Francis. Buying directly from the maker, he believes, is “the purest form of commerce.”
8. What does the author imply by saying “my bruises became the truest souvenirs”?
A. Souvenirs can harm the planet. B. Injuries are unexpected souvenirs.
C. We should say no to travel souvenirs. D. Personal stories make the best souvenirs.
9. What aspect of souvenirs does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. Their emotional appeal. B. Their long history.
C. Their growing popularity. D. Their cultural value.
10. What is the consequence of the vicious cycle?
A. Souvenirs get standardised. B. Tourism hurts the local economy.
C. Traditional skills are put at risk. D. Local sellers lose their customer base.
11. What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To promote genuine local products. B. To explore the true meaning of souvenirs.
C. To compare different types of souvenirs. D. To discourage people from buying souvenirs.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】作者认为亲身经历胜过实物纪念品,人们收藏纪念品源于情感与心理需求。劣质仿品损害传统工艺,旅行应秉持可持续理念,理性选购或留存无形收获。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“On a backpacking trip through the Himalayas, my bruises became the truest souvenirs — scars (伤疤) carrying a story only I can tell, with no hidden costs to the planet.(在一次穿越喜马拉雅山脉的背包旅行中,我身上的伤痕成了最真实的纪念品——这些伤疤承载着只有我能讲述的故事,而且对地球没有任何负面影响)”可知,作者说“我的伤痕成了最真实的纪念品”这句话意味着个人经历才是最好的纪念品。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Humans have always had a deep-rooted habit of collecting. According to psychologist Vanavi Madakal, looking at a souvenir can bring back happy emotions as the brain links it to positive experiences. But the drive goes beyond memory. “At the core of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and recognised,” she says. For many, souvenirs satisfy a need to say, “I was there!”(人类一直以来都有强烈的收集癖好。心理学家瓦纳维·马达卡尔表示,看着一件纪念品能唤起愉悦的情绪,因为大脑会将其与积极的经历联系起来。但这种驱动力远不止于记忆。“我们行为的根源在于渴望被倾听、被看见和被认可,”她说道。对许多人来说,纪念品满足了他们想要表达“我当时在那里”的需求)”可知,第二段主要论述了纪念品的情感吸引力。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This creates a “vicious cycle”: frustrated artisans may turn to using low-quality materials just to feed their families. While purchasing fake goods might seem to support local sellers, the true cost is often borne by artisans who rely on time-honoured craftsmanship.(这就形成了一个“恶性循环”:沮丧的工匠可能会为了养家糊口而转而使用低质量的材料。虽然购买假货看似支持了当地的卖家,但真正的代价往往由依赖传统工艺的工匠承担)”可知,这种恶性循环会让传统技艺面临危险。

You might think physicists only ask the big questions — the shape of our universe and the nature of the matter that fills it. But sometimes that questioning spills over to their daily habits. There’s one everyday item that seems to especially fascinate them: spaghetti (意大利面).
The questions they ask were wonderfully varied. Back in 1949, George Carrier posed a puzzle: “Why can’t I eat a strand (一根) of spaghetti without getting sauce on my face?” His maths showed no way around the face-slap. Richard Feynman once spent an evening breaking spaghetti sticks across his kitchen floor, wondering why it’s almost impossible to break one into two pieces instead of three. It took a quarter century for scientists to explain the shockwave that causes further breaking, and still longer to find that twisting the strand could solve the problem.
Recently, University College London (UCL) researchers wondered if lab equipment could do better than the thinnest handmade spaghetti. They used a technique called “electro-spinning” — mixing flour into an electrically charged solution (溶液) and pulling it toward a plate. “This pulls the solution down into a very thin noodle-type shape,” says Beatrice Britton, lead author of the study.
When dried, what remained was a fine thread of incredibly thin spaghetti. “To the naked eye, all you see is a sort of flat sheet,” Britton says, but a powerful microscope shows threads as thin as 0.1mm. The team hopes their research can be a step towards biodegradable alternatives to plastic “nanofibres,” which are now used to treat wounds.
Why is spaghetti such a focus of study for physicists? For one, it’s simple — flour, water and heat, says Vishal Patil, a professor of mathematics. “Spaghetti is just a very accessible thing you can play with.” The fact that so few components raise so many deep questions speaks to how physics underlies everything. After a long day at the blackboard, the mechanical wonders of spaghetti are the perfect food for scientists’ mealtime thinking.
12. What does the author suggest about physicists in the first paragraph?
A. Their interest in food goes beyond nutrition.
B. They care about big questions of the universe.
C. Their curiosity can extend to common objects.
D. They are concerned with patterns of daily habits.
13. What can we learn about the early studies on spaghetti?
A. They started from everyday observations.
B. They raised questions yet to be answered.
C. They aimed to improve the quality of spaghetti.
D. They applied physics rules to real-life problems.
14. What do UCL researchers hope to achieve with their electro-spinning technique?
A. To generate the finest type of noodle.
B. To produce spaghetti less easy to break.
C. To find greener materials for medical use.
D. To explain the physics of e-charged solution.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The surprising physics of spaghetti
B. Why physicists are drawn to spaghetti
C. How a simple food became a scientific puzzle
D. From blackboard to kitchen: spaghetti’s hidden rules
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍物理学家对意大利面展开各类趣味研究,列举相关实验探索并分析该普通食物备受学界关注的缘由。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“You might think physicists only ask the big questions — the shape of our universe and the nature of the matter that fills it. But sometimes that questioning spills over to their daily habits. There’s one everyday item that seems to especially fascinate them: spaghetti (意大利面). (你或许认为物理学家只钻研宏大命题,比如宇宙形态与物质本质。但这份探究欲也会融入日常习惯,意大利面便是格外吸引他们的寻常物件。)”可知,物理学家的好奇心也会延伸到普通日常物品之上。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Back in 1949, George Carrier posed a puzzle: “Why can’t I eat a strand (一根) of spaghetti without getting sauce on my face?” His maths showed no way around the face-slap. Richard Feynman once spent an evening breaking spaghetti sticks across his kitchen floor, wondering why it’s almost impossible to break one into two pieces instead of three. (早在1949年,乔治·卡里尔提出一个趣味难题:“为什么吃单根意大利面时,酱汁总会沾到脸上?”其数学推演证实这一现象难以避免。理查德·费曼也曾整晚在厨房地板掰断意面,疑惑为何面条几乎无法恰好断成两段,往往会裂成三截。)”可知,早期相关研究均源自日常生活中的观察发现。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The team hopes their research can be a step towards biodegradable alternatives to plastic “nanofibres,” which are now used to treat wounds.(该团队希望此项研究能推动可生物降解材料,替代目前用于伤口治疗的塑料纳米纤维。)”可知,研究人员希望借此探寻可用于医疗领域的环保新材料。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是尾段中的“Why is spaghetti such a focus of study for physicists? For one, it’s simple — flour, water and heat, says Vishal Patil, a professor of mathematics. (为何意大利面会成为物理学家的研究重点?数学教授维沙尔·帕蒂尔表示,其一它的构成简单,仅包含面粉、水,受热便可成型。)”可知,文章围绕物理学家热衷研究意大利面这一现象,介绍相关研究并剖析背后原因,所以“Why physicists are drawn to spaghetti(物理学家为何痴迷意大利面)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Parents worry endlessly about their children’s screen time, urging them to put down their phones and pick up a book. Some countries are banning social media for under-16s. ____16____ The most screen-addicted generation is actually the elderly, with retirees spending more than half their waking hours on smartphones.
The digitisation of old age is a good thing. Social media and video calls keep the elderly connected with family, friends and doctors. A connected retirement is more fulfilling than an offline one. ____17____ They have formed their key relationships, and their world view is less open to unhealthy online influences. Besides, with plenty of free time, a screen habit costs a retiree far less than a teenager facing exams.
____18____ Door-to-door tricksters who have long targeted the elderly can now reach them through the screen. Misinformation is another risk. Older people appear more likely to fall for online falsehoods, and when misled it is everyone’s problem, because they are the most likely to vote.
Screen time also has a mixed impact on loneliness. Screens are companions for the isolated, but they can also replace real life. Online shopping avoids the trouble of the weekly trip — but also the social interactions that come with it. ____19____ Unlike teenagers, they lack the parents and teachers to guide their screen use.
Older people’s rocketing screen time should at least make for a more balanced debate on digital matters. Universal smartphone use should make it easier to have sensible conversations about trade-offs. When children are told yet again to get off their phones, they can cast a meaningful glance at Grandpa in the corner. ____20____
A. This worry may be aimed at the wrong age group.
B. As retirement moves online, however, there are costs.
C. He is probably laughing at the latest videos on social media.
D. Older screen users rarely fall for online tricks like the young.
E. Yet the benefits of elderly screen use come at a high social price.
F. Older people are also protected from some risks that threaten teenagers.
G. For those with limited mobility, the pull of the sofa is especially strong.
【答案】16. A 17. F 18. B 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】大众多担忧青少年沉迷电子设备,实则老年群体触屏时长更高。上网能维系老人社交,但也暗藏诈骗、虚假信息隐患,还易加剧孤独感,这也让人们重新辩证看待数码使用问题。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Parents worry endlessly about their children’s screen time, urging them to put down their phones and pick up a book. Some countries are banning social media for under-16s.(家长们对孩子的屏幕使用时间忧心忡忡,他们极力劝说孩子放下手机,拿起书本阅读。一些国家甚至禁止16岁以下的青少年使用社交媒体)”以及后文“The most screen-addicted generation is actually the elderly, with retirees spending more than half their waking hours on smartphones.(实际上,最沉迷于电子屏幕的群体是老年人,退休人员每天有超过一半的清醒时间都在使用智能手机)”可知,前文都在讲大众对青少年儿童屏幕时间的担忧,后文转折指出其实老年人是最沉迷屏幕的群体,A选项“这种担忧找错了年龄群体”完美承接前后。
【17题详解】
根据上文“The digitisation of old age is a good thing. Social media and video calls keep the elderly connected with family, friends and doctors. A connected retirement is more fulfilling than an offline one.(老年人的数字化生活是一件好事。社交媒体和视频通话让老年人能够与家人、朋友以及医生保持联系。与家人保持联系的退休生活比完全脱离社会的退休生活更有意义)”以及后文“They have formed their key relationships, and their world view is less open to unhealthy online influences. Besides, with plenty of free time, a screen habit costs a retiree far less than a teenager facing exams.(他们已经建立了重要的人际关系,而且他们的世界观也较少受到不良网络影响的影响。此外,由于有大量的空闲时间,对于退休人员来说,养成使用电子设备的习惯所付出的代价要远远低于面临考试的青少年)”可知,第二段在讲老年人使用网络的好处,后文解释说老年人世界观成型,不容易受网络不良影响,空闲多,沉迷屏幕的代价比年轻人低得多,F选项“老年人也能免受很多威胁青少年的风险”刚好引出后文的解释,衔接通顺。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Door-to-door tricksters who have long targeted the elderly can now reach them through the screen. Misinformation is another risk. Older people appear more likely to fall for online falsehoods, and when misled it is everyone’s problem, because they are the most likely to vote.(长期以来一直专门针对老年人下手的上门行骗者如今也能通过网络与他们接触了。此外,还有另一个风险,即虚假信息。老年人似乎更容易上网络骗局的当,而一旦被误导,问题就会影响到所有人,因为他们是最有可能参与投票的群体)”以及前文第二段都在讲优势,后文开始讲老年人上网的各类问题,B选项“然而随着退休生活转移到线上,也存在不少代价”总起转折,引出后文对弊端的论述,符合逻辑。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Screen time also has a mixed impact on loneliness. Screens are companions for the isolated, but they can also replace real life. Online shopping avoids the trouble of the weekly trip — but also the social interactions that come with it.(屏幕使用时间对孤独感的影响也是复杂多样的。屏幕对于孤独者来说是慰藉之物,但它们也可能取代现实生活。网上购物省去了每周出行的麻烦——但也失去了随之而来的社交互动)”以及后文“Unlike teenagers, they lack the parents and teachers to guide their screen use.(与青少年不同的是,他们没有父母和老师来指导他们如何合理使用电子产品)”可知,前文提到网购省去出门麻烦,但也带走了线下社交,后文提到老年人没有长辈指导用网,G选项“对于行动不便的人来说,沙发的吸引力尤其大”承接“不出门”的描述,进一步说明老年人更易沉迷屏幕的原因,衔接自然。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Older people’s rocketing screen time should at least make for a more balanced debate on digital matters. Universal smartphone use should make it easier to have sensible conversations about trade-offs. When children are told yet again to get off their phones, they can cast a meaningful glance at Grandpa in the corner.(老年人大幅增加的屏幕使用时间至少应该促使我们对数字时代的问题展开更平衡的讨论。普遍普及的智能手机使用应该能让人们更轻松地就权衡取舍等问题进行理性的交流。当孩子们再次被告知要放下手机时,他们可以抬头向角落里的爷爷投去意味深长的一瞥)”可知,前文提到孩子被要求放下手机时,可以意味深长地看一眼角落的爷爷,C选项“他很可能正在刷社交媒体上的最新视频,看得哈哈大笑”中He指代前文的Grandpa,完美收尾呼应开头“最沉迷屏幕的是老人”的观点。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tom had just graduated from university when he took over his family’s long-established restaurant. His father, now in his seventies, had run the place for decades but never offered delivery — there wasn’t enough help, and he was too tired. Wanting to bring something new while keeping the old spirit, Tom started a free delivery service for the elderly and busy neighbours.
As he looked for delivery riders, one person came to mind: Mike, his deaf neighbour who stayed home making small crafts. Jobs were hard to find for Mike, and Tom knew he needed steady work. He went to Mike’s house and showed him a note: “Come work with me. Be my delivery rider. Good pay.” Mike read it, eyes wide, then nodded firmly.
The first day he worked, Mike checked each order twice before leaving. He’d already spent days studying the neighbourhood map and cycling around to learn the quickest routes. But problems came quickly. On his last delivery that evening, he knocked loudly on a customer’s door — trying to get attention without speaking. The resident complained about the noise and rudeness.
Later that week, while biking through the market, a hurried pedestrian stepped into his path. Mike fell, and the food spilled. Unable to explain, he rushed back for a new meal. By the time he arrived — nearly 40 minutes late — the customer was very angry. He refused the food and shouted at Mike, who could only stand there, silent and helpless.
That evening, Mike sat alone, head down, feeling he’d let Tom down. When Tom knew what happened, his heart sank — not with anger, but with guilt. He’d wanted to help, yet never truly thought about Mike’s challenges: the silence, the misunderstandings, the moments when being unable to speak left him defenseless. Tom knew he had to do more than offer a job — he needed to help Mike do well.
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。
He soon came up with a plan to help Mike.

Mike took a deep breath and smiled as the angry customer opened his door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 He soon came up with a plan to help Mike. Tom prepared a set of small cards explaining Mike’s condition in simple, friendly language: “Hello! I’m Mike. I’m deaf and can’t speak, but I’m happy to be your delivery rider. Thank you for your patience.” He also set up a simple text system on Mike’s phone, allowing him to quickly send pre-written messages to customers with just a tap. That evening, he showed Mike how to use both, walking him through each step with patience. Mike practised handing over the card with a smile until it felt natural. The next day, Mike went back directly to the same door, determined to clear up the misunderstanding.
Mike took a deep breath and smiled as the angry customer opened his door. Before the man could react, Mike handed him the card with both hands. The customer frowned, glanced down, and read it slowly. Then his expression changed — first softening, then clouding with shame. He looked at Mike, who quickly showed the pre-written message on his phone, explaining the earlier accident. The man stood silent for a moment, then nodded, took the food, and gave Mike a sincere thumbs-up, mouthing a silent “Sorry — and thank you.” As Mike walked back to his bike, he looked down at the card and smiled to himself. This small piece of paper had given him something he thought he never had: a voice.

Sometimes one plus one does equal three, as was the case when Dave McNee first met Claudia Mandekic. Mandekic, then training to be a teacher, told McNee how hard it was to get students excited about math. He made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?”
This idea got its first shot in 2011. The pair, who had launched a tutoring nonprofit, were invited to run a summer program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges School. When the students first showed up, they weren’t exactly thrilled, Mandekic recalls. But she and McNee taught them shooting techniques while also having them calculate their field-goal percentage.
The winning team was the group with the highest total percentage and most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so focused on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” Mandekic says. “I realized we might be onto something.”
The program, later named BallMatics, soon spread across Toronto schools. Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. BallMatics has been hitting only net since its founding. In 2019, the organization started a private high school called Uchenna Academy. It now serves 26 full-time students and provides financial assistance for those who need it. Kids with exceptional basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics after-school programs.
The program’s value is clear: last year, three of the first graduates landed university scholarships for their classroom performance, not on the court — though they also made the basketball teams.
Duane Douglas, now 20 and studying for an education degree, was one of them. He explains the secret of the program’s success. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game. Coaches would bench students who didn’t keep up in class. We were student athletes, after all, not athlete students.”
4. What is the major function of the first paragraph?
A. To highlight the difficulty of math teaching.
B. To question a popular belief about teaching.
C. To explain how a teaching team was formed.
D. To introduce the birth of a new teaching idea.
5. How did the students react when the first BallMatics session ended?
A. They were too engaged to leave. B. They eagerly asked to play again.
C. They felt completely exhausted. D. They found the math problem too hard.
6. What does the phrase “hitting only net” in paragraph 4 suggest about the BallMatics program?
A. It faced significant challenges. B. It achieved continuous success.
C. It became financially profitable. D. It focused only on basketball skills.
7. What key lesson can be drawn from the program of BallMatics?
A. Interest can be a powerful drive for learning.
B. Discipline in sports can lead to academic success.
C. Sports can open another door to higher education.
D. Hands-on practice is an effective way to teach math.
C
On a backpacking trip through the Himalayas, my bruises became the truest souvenirs — scars (伤疤) carrying a story only I can tell, with no hidden costs to the planet. Perhaps that’s why my desire for typical souvenirs has faded. I now value experiences over objects. But maybe that’s just me. Two out of three Americans bring back souvenirs. When a friend hands me a fridge magnet, I feel uneasy. What does it mean to take home a piece of a place, and at what cost?
Humans have always had a deep-rooted habit of collecting. According to psychologist Vanavi Madakal, looking at a souvenir can bring back happy emotions as the brain links it to positive experiences. But the drive goes beyond memory. “At the core of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and recognised,” she says. For many, souvenirs satisfy a need to say, “I was there!”
Yet, while travellers today are more aware of their impact, souvenirs have been somewhat left behind. Take handmade scarves for example. A genuine piece can be costly, driving travellers toward cheap imitations. This creates a “vicious cycle”: frustrated artisans may turn to using low-quality materials just to feed their families. While purchasing fake goods might seem to support local sellers, the true cost is often borne by artisans who rely on time-honoured craftsmanship.
So, how can you buy souvenirs that are ethical, sustainable and meaningful? “It’s not just about buying or choosing carefully, it’s about rejecting and explaining why,” says Justin Francis of Responsible Travel. One practical step is looking for labels that certify genuine local goods. Asking friends what they want can also be more meaningful than guessing. And remember: a good souvenir doesn’t have to be something physical. Join a cooking class, and you take home skills that keep giving.
Ultimately, there’s no universal rule. But next time you’re grabbing a quick airport souvenir, pause and reflect. “Think back to the Silk Road — trade was personal,” says Francis. Buying directly from the maker, he believes, is “the purest form of commerce.”
8. What does the author imply by saying “my bruises became the truest souvenirs”?
A. Souvenirs can harm the planet. B. Injuries are unexpected souvenirs.
C. We should say no to travel souvenirs. D. Personal stories make the best souvenirs.
9. What aspect of souvenirs does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. Their emotional appeal. B. Their long history.
C. Their growing popularity. D. Their cultural value.
10. What is the consequence of the vicious cycle?
A. Souvenirs get standardised. B. Tourism hurts the local economy.
C. Traditional skills are put at risk. D. Local sellers lose their customer base.
11. What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To promote genuine local products. B. To explore the true meaning of souvenirs.
C. To compare different types of souvenirs. D. To discourage people from buying souvenirs.
D
You might think physicists only ask the big questions — the shape of our universe and the nature of the matter that fills it. But sometimes that questioning spills over to their daily habits. There’s one everyday item that seems to especially fascinate them: spaghetti (意大利面).
The questions they ask were wonderfully varied. Back in 1949, George Carrier posed a puzzle: “Why can’t I eat a strand (一根) of spaghetti without getting sauce on my face?” His maths showed no way around the face-slap. Richard Feynman once spent an evening breaking spaghetti sticks across his kitchen floor, wondering why it’s almost impossible to break one into two pieces instead of three. It took a quarter century for scientists to explain the shockwave that causes further breaking, and still longer to find that twisting the strand could solve the problem.
Recently, University College London (UCL) researchers wondered if lab equipment could do better than the thinnest handmade spaghetti. They used a technique called “electro-spinning” — mixing flour into an electrically charged solution (溶液) and pulling it toward a plate. “This pulls the solution down into a very thin noodle-type shape,” says Beatrice Britton, lead author of the study.
When dried, what remained was a fine thread of incredibly thin spaghetti. “To the naked eye, all you see is a sort of flat sheet,” Britton says, but a powerful microscope shows threads as thin as 0.1mm. The team hopes their research can be a step towards biodegradable alternatives to plastic “nanofibres,” which are now used to treat wounds.
Why is spaghetti such a focus of study for physicists? For one, it’s simple — flour, water and heat, says Vishal Patil, a professor of mathematics. “Spaghetti is just a very accessible thing you can play with.” The fact that so few components raise so many deep questions speaks to how physics underlies everything. After a long day at the blackboard, the mechanical wonders of spaghetti are the perfect food for scientists’ mealtime thinking.
12. What does the author suggest about physicists in the first paragraph?
A. Their interest in food goes beyond nutrition.
B. They care about big questions of the universe.
C. Their curiosity can extend to common objects.
D. They are concerned with patterns of daily habits.
13. What can we learn about the early studies on spaghetti?
A. They started from everyday observations.
B. They raised questions yet to be answered.
C. They aimed to improve the quality of spaghetti.
D. They applied physics rules to real-life problems.
14. What do UCL researchers hope to achieve with their electro-spinning technique?
A. To generate the finest type of noodle.
B. To produce spaghetti less easy to break.
C. To find greener materials for medical use.
D. To explain the physics of e-charged solution.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The surprising physics of spaghetti
B. Why physicists are drawn to spaghetti
C. How a simple food became a scientific puzzle
D. From blackboard to kitchen: spaghetti’s hidden rules

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。
Parents worry endlessly about their children’s screen time, urging them to put down their phones and pick up a book. Some countries are banning social media for under-16s. ____16____ The most screen-addicted generation is actually the elderly, with retirees spending more than half their waking hours on smartphones.
The digitisation of old age is a good thing. Social media and video calls keep the elderly connected with family, friends and doctors. A connected retirement is more fulfilling than an offline one. ____17____ They have formed their key relationships, and their world view is less open to unhealthy online influences. Besides, with plenty of free time, a screen habit costs a retiree far less than a teenager facing exams.
____18____ Door-to-door tricksters who have long targeted the elderly can now reach them through the screen. Misinformation is another risk. Older people appear more likely to fall for online falsehoods, and when misled it is everyone’s problem, because they are the most likely to vote.
Screen time also has a mixed impact on loneliness. Screens are companions for the isolated, but they can also replace real life. Online shopping avoids the trouble of the weekly trip — but also the social interactions that come with it. ____19____ Unlike teenagers, they lack the parents and teachers to guide their screen use.
Older people’s rocketing screen time should at least make for a more balanced debate on digital matters. Universal smartphone use should make it easier to have sensible conversations about trade-offs. When children are told yet again to get off their phones, they can cast a meaningful glance at Grandpa in the corner. ____20____
A. This worry may be aimed at the wrong age group.
B. As retirement moves online, however, there are costs.
C. He is probably laughing at the latest videos on social media.
D. Older screen users rarely fall for online tricks like the young.
E. Yet the benefits of elderly screen use come at a high social price.
F. Older people are also protected from some risks that threaten teenagers.
G. For those with limited mobility, the pull of the sofa is especially strong.

Then I showed them our survey results: 92% of those surveyed wanted deeper ____26____, and 85% were ready to help a classmate in need. The room went quiet. The results had surprised them. A girl whispered, “But Professor, everyone wears headphones and always looks ____27____.”
“We usually ____28____ how friendly and kind we all are,” I explained.
So we ____29____ the Connection Project. We put posters up in dormitories and also ____30____ students to take chances on each other. Mark, a silent freshman, dined with three unfamiliar ____31____. Soon they became a learning circle. “We weren’t really enjoying being alone — we were just too ____32____ to reach out,” Mark told us. Six months later participants reported 30% higher happiness and, ____33____, four new friends.
On the last day of my course, I closed my notebook and said, “Happiness isn’t a fruit you enjoy ____34____, but a garden we grow together. We must jump into the social waters, even when staying on ____35____ is safer.”

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In 2025, a new trend has emerged among young Chinese travelers: factory tours. ____36____ started as business walk-throughs and educational trips has quietly become one of China’s most unexpected tourism phenomena. On weekends, young people are crowding into factories ____37____ fun, photo-worthy moments, and hands-on experiences.
“Industrial tourism” is not ____38____ (global) new. But in China, the trend carries a special cultural meaning. Over the past five years, at least 13 companies — from carmakers to drink producers — have opened their production lines to visitors. This ____39____ (signal) an image shift, from “Made in China” to “Experienced in China.”
For China’s younger generation, factories are not merely workplaces ____40____ symbols of national capability and modern wisdom. These tours satisfy curiosity about how everyday products ____41____ (make) while also offering confidence that the country’s technological foundations remain strong. ____42____ enthusiasm for factory tours thus reflects both a personal search for novelty and a ____43____ (share) pride in industrial achievement.
This rapid growth also marks a broader shift in tourism — from passive sightseeing to hands-on, ____44____ (afford) activities. In response, companies are redesigning visitor engagement with interactive displays, workshops, and themed tours tailored to younger audiences.
If more businesses can balance _____45_____ (open) with safety and design absorbing tours, “Industrial Disneyland” may evolve from a small-scale interest into a cultural tourism centerpiece.

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。
Tom had just graduated from university when he took over his family’s long-established restaurant. His father, now in his seventies, had run the place for decades but never offered delivery — there wasn’t enough help, and he was too tired. Wanting to bring something new while keeping the old spirit, Tom started a free delivery service for the elderly and busy neighbours.
As he looked for delivery riders, one person came to mind: Mike, his deaf neighbour who stayed home making small crafts. Jobs were hard to find for Mike, and Tom knew he needed steady work. He went to Mike’s house and showed him a note: “Come work with me. Be my delivery rider. Good pay.” Mike read it, eyes wide, then nodded firmly.
The first day he worked, Mike checked each order twice before leaving. He’d already spent days studying the neighbourhood map and cycling around to learn the quickest routes. But problems came quickly. On his last delivery that evening, he knocked loudly on a customer’s door — trying to get attention without speaking. The resident complained about the noise and rudeness.
Later that week, while biking through the market, a hurried pedestrian stepped into his path. Mike fell, and the food spilled. Unable to explain, he rushed back for a new meal. By the time he arrived — nearly 40 minutes late — the customer was very angry. He refused the food and shouted at Mike, who could only stand there, silent and helpless.
That evening, Mike sat alone, head down, feeling he’d let Tom down. When Tom knew what happened, his heart sank — not with anger, but with guilt. He’d wanted to help, yet never truly thought about Mike’s challenges: the silence, the misunderstandings, the moments when being unable to speak left him defenseless. Tom knew he had to do more than offer a job — he needed to help Mike do well.
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。
He soon came up with a plan to help Mike.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mike took a deep breath and smiled as the angry customer opened his door.
