Citizen science is a new movement which involves members of the public, either singly or in groups, working towards a common goal. Very often, citizen scientists collect, report or analyse data. What makes a citizen scientist? Anyone who contributes their time, effort and whatever resources they have to a scientific research project is a citizen scientist. They come from all walks of life — housewives, retirees, students, sports people, children. There’s no need for a formal or strong scientific background, just passion. How to get involved? If you have a particular hobby, interest or expertise there’s almost certainly a project you can join. Search online for citizen science projects and pick out the ones you like. It could be observing insects, migratory birds, even plates movements; all you have to do is to record and hand in observations. You can use your laptop or even your smartphone to do this — easy! Here is an opportunity from NASA: Space Cloud Watch What you’ll do ◆Watch the sky at sunrise and sunset for noctilucent clouds (夜光云) and shoot them. ◆Upload your photos and observations to a website to contribute to research on Earth’s middle atmosphere. ◆Take notes when noctilucent clouds are absent, so you can report that too! Requirements ◆Time: 10-20 minutes ◆Equipment: Camera, smartphone or GPS receiver ◆Knowledge: No prior knowledge necessary 1. Who can be a citizen scientist? A. A well-educated person. B. A person with scientific passion. C. A person with a scientific background. D. A person with a professional career. 2. What does the Space Cloud Watch require participants to do? A. Observe insects at sunrise. B. Take pictures of clouds. C. Record cloud movements. D. Report data every week. 3. Who is the text most probably intended for? A. Professional scientists. B. Government officials. C. General public. D. Science students. B Last April, after I published an essay about poetry as part of National Poetry Month, an editor told me he’d often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper. As a newspaperman, I’m not ready to discourage readership of each day’s edition, but maybe there’s something to be said for reading a newspaper and a poem each morning. All of that has led to a small experiment. In an effort to keep a little poetry in my life long after National Poetry Month had passed, I decided to read at least one poem a day after reading through the newspaper over breakfast. Thanks to two digital services that deliver poetry right to my email inbox, it’s been an easy decision to keep. Many public radio listeners are familiar with The Writer’s Almanac, a five-minute broadcast hosted by Garrison Keillor that airs on lots of stations around the country. Each day’s edition includes a handful of facts about literary anniversaries, along with a short poem that Keillor recites. Fans can also have the text of each program emailed to them every day, along with a link to the broadcast recording. The Academy of American Poets has its own poem-day feature, called “Poem-a-Day”. Launched during National Poetry Month in 2006, Poem-a-Day highlights new and previously published poems by contemporary poets on weekdays and classic poems on weekends. Since subscribing to both services last April, I’ve enjoyed receiving poems each morning. Reading at least one poem a day has also been like an intellectual vitamin, giving me a brief taste of literature even on busy days. Last April, I wondered if I could remind myself to read a poem each morning. Now, deep in summer, I wonder if I could ever do without it. 4. What did the editor think of poetry? A. It could improve our daily life. B. It was as important as newspapers. C. It had a small but faithful readership. D. It should be composed in the morning. 5. How did the author conduct his experiment? A. By listening to radios and writing emails. B. By contributing poems to a newspaper. C. By creating resolutions over breakfast. D. By making use of online services. 6. What can be learned about The Writer’s Almanac? A. It is available nationwide on radio stations. B. It mails paper poems to its fans daily. C. It provides recordings of classic poems only. D. It focuses on introducing new poets daily. 7. What does the last paragraph reveal about the author? A. It has taken years for him to love literature. B. He is wondering how to continue his conduct. C. He has developed a deep appreciation for poetry. D. It has benefited him a lot as a newspaperman. C Artificial intelligence is transforming many industries, but one area where its benefits are especially clear is public health. For an industry that demands high accuracy and efficiency, AI could greatly improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. The greatest return from AI may come from detecting life-threatening illnesses earlier and more accurately. In June, Microsoft announced a medical tool that was four times more successful than doctors at identifying complex diseases. Some AI models can even predict health risks years in advance. Scientists recently reported that an AI system could predict the risk of over 1,000 diseases decades into the future. Less noticeable but equally important is AI’s ability to reduce office work. In the US, paperwork costs account for about 30% of extra healthcare spending compared to other countries. Speech-processing technologies can record conversations with patients, create medical notes, and draft letters. A recent study found that using such technologies reduced documentation time for doctors by more than 50%. Clearly, promoting AI adoption should be a priority for governments worldwide. Aging populations and rising healthcare costs are putting pressure on public budgets. The World Health Organization predicts a shortage of about 11 million healthcare workers by 2030, especially in lower-income countries. As the Covid-19 pandemic showed, a healthier global population benefits everyone. However, AI use in healthcare is still new and uneven. The technology is still developing, and strict testing is needed before widespread use. Health professionals need training. Data privacy concerns and outdated IT systems add to the challenges. Managers may hesitate to introduce AI where staff fear job loss. A joint effort from governments, health regulators, and tech companies is needed to fund, test, and deploy AI in hospitals. This will not be easy, but the reward — healthier populations and more sustainable healthcare systems — is worth the effort. 8. What is the main benefit of AI in healthcare according to paragraph 2? A. It reduces the cost of medical treatment. B. It replaces doctors in complex surgeries. C. It speeds up the development of new drugs. D. It enables early and precise disease detection. 9. How does AI help reduce office work in healthcare? A. By replacing human workers with robots. B. By doing paperwork in place of doctors. C. By removing the need for health checks. D. By training doctors to use new technologies. 10. What can be inferred about the current state of AI in healthcare? A. It has been widely adopted in hospitals. B. It has already solved data privacy concerns. C. It hasn’t been put into wide use nowadays. D. It is only used in private healthcare systems. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of AI in healthcare? A. Indifferent. B. Unclear. C. Cautious. D. Supportive. D From an early age, we tend to divide ourselves and others into opposing groups — such as “smart vs. dumb” in school or “rich vs. poor” in adulthood. This thinking is often used for simpler identification, but it carries significant risks. Once we assign people or ourselves to a group, several psychological effects take hold. First of all, the group members assume an identity. A label is placed on them, which over time achieves a level of permanency. For example, if you decide yourself as belonging to the “I’m really not creative” group, you tend to view yourself as primarily and permanently uncreative. The longer this belief lasts, the harder it is to change. Moreover, groups provide us with a false sense of comfort. By joining the “I’m not creative” group, we also conveniently protect ourselves from moving beyond the borders of that group into new and often unfamiliar areas. Like birds that hesitate to leave their cages even when the door is open, we eschew the desire to get out of our comfort zone — not because we can’t, but because we won’t. There are not just many like-minded people in the group, but it offers a safe environment to work and play. But the problem doesn’t end there. There is a tsunami of books and articles that use language such as the following: “Creative people are individuals like Leonardo, Edison, Picasso, or Einstein who have changed our culture in some important respects” and “Creative people are the ones who get ahead in their jobs, start new businesses, invent products... paint pictures, and make things of beauty.” When reading these statements, we automatically assign ourselves to that “other group”, knowing that we can never measure up. However, as psychological research has convincingly demonstrated, creativity is not exclusive to a select few; it is a birthright shared by everyone. So, be mindful of what you read. Sometimes, others may be putting you in a box without your knowing. 12. What does the underlined word “eschew” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Avoid. B. Arouse. C. Express. D. Spark. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Creative people are very few. B. Labels may limit our thoughts. C. All great people are creative. D. We can match great people easily. 14. What might the author agree with? A. Creativity belongs to everyone. B. Groups help us know ourselves. C. We should read more books. D. Labels help us identify others. 15. What can be the suitable title for the passage? A. Group Identity: Its Hidden Benefits. B. Age Groups: Key Comparisons. C. Social Labels: Their Hidden Harm. D. Creative Thinking: Ways to Develop It. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Secrets for shopping healthier at the supermarket Shopping at the supermarket for groceries can be an adventure tour, for food producers don’t always have your best interests in mind. ____16____.

For weeks, my team — Maya, Jake, and I — had dreamed of this moment: the annual Market Day, when the school gym would transform into a lively fair of student-run businesses. The past month had been intense. We spent countless hours brainstorming ideas, before we finally focused on “FashionHut” with creative handicrafts. Maya loved herbs. She made candles that smelled like flowers with used jars. Jake, skilled with knots, decided to learn weaving friendship bracelets (手链) from online courses. I later contributed painted wooden keychains. Together, we calculated costs, detailed market strategies, and planned pricing carefully, all of which came down to a ten-page business plan. And the most stressful moment was when we presented our plan to the review committee. Eventually, they approved our $300 startup loan. We jumped for joy in the hallway. We produced over eighty items with reasonable prices: candles at 6, bracelets at 4, keychains at $3. So we needed to sell that many items to repay the loan. “Everything’s perfect,” Maya declared. Watching students flood into the gym, I believed her. But an hour passed. Then another. Our table remained painfully quiet while noises erupted around us. A booth (摊位) named “Game On” had a line of students waiting to play balloon-shooting. Next to them, “Magic Bakery” had sold out of cookies. Students walked past our “FashionHut” with barely a glance. “Maybe our prices are too high,” Jake whispered. “But if we lower prices now, we won’t make enough.” I disagreed. The $300 loan hung over us like a storm cloud. We had signed an agreement to repay the full amount. By the two-hour bell, we had sold exactly two candles and one bracelet. We had two hundred and eighty-four dollars to go. Normally, I avoided talking to strangers. In class, I never raised my hand. But now thinking of the loan, weeks of work, and my friends’ disappointed faces, I wouldn’t want our business to go up in smoke. 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。 I took a deep breath and stepped out from behind our table. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maya and Jake soon joined me, and our booth gradually became crowded. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★考试结束前 2025学年第二学期北斗联盟期中联考 高二年级英语学科试题 考生须知： 1．本卷共8页满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3．所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 选择题部分 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读两遍。 1.

(不需要正式或强大的科学背景，只需要热情)”可知，只要有科学热情的人都可以成为公民科学家。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Space Cloud Watch部分中“Watch the sky at sunrise and sunset for noctilucent clouds (夜光云) and shoot them. (在日出和日落时观察天空中的夜光云并拍摄它们)”以及“Upload your photos and observations to a website (将你的照片和观察结果上传到网站)”可知，该活动要求参与者拍摄云的照片。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“Citizen science is a new movement which involves members of the public, either singly or in groups, working towards a common goal. (公民科学是一项新运动，涉及公众成员，无论是个人还是团体，朝着共同目标努力)”以及第二段“Anyone who contributes their time, effort and whatever resources they have to a scientific research project is a citizen scientist. They come from all walks of life — housewives, retirees, students, sports people, children. (任何为科学研究项目贡献时间、精力以及任何资源的人都是公民科学家。他们来自各行各业——家庭主妇、退休人员、学生、运动爱好者、儿童)”可知，本文鼓励普通公众参与科学研究，因此最可能面向普通公众。 B Last April, after I published an essay about poetry as part of National Poetry Month, an editor told me he’d often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper.

C 【解析】 【原文】文章主要讲述了作者受一位编辑的启发，开启每日读诗的小实验，并介绍了两个可以每日推送诗歌的线上服务，分享了自己坚持每日读诗后的收获与感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Last April, after I published an essay about poetry as part of National Poetry Month, an editor told me he’d often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper.(去年四月，我为配合全国诗歌月活动发表了一篇关于诗歌的随笔后，一位编辑对我说，他常常觉得，如果每天清晨送到家门口的不是报纸，而是一首诗，这个世界会变得更加美好。)”可知，这位编辑认为诗歌能够改善我们的日常生活。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Thanks to two digital services that deliver poetry right to my email inbox, it’s been an easy decision to keep.(多亏了两项直接将诗歌推送到我电子邮箱的数字服务，这个习惯才得以轻松坚持。)”可知，作者是借助线上数字服务来开展每日读诗的实验。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many public radio listeners are familiar with The Writer’s Almanac, a five-minute broadcast hosted by Garrison Keillor that airs on lots of stations around the country.(许多公共广播听众都熟悉《作家年鉴》这档节目，它是由加里森·凯勒主持的五分钟广播节目，在全国多家电台播出。)”可知，该节目在全国范围内的电台均可收听。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Reading at least one poem a day has also been like an intellectual vitamin, giving me a brief taste of literature even on busy days.(每天至少读一首诗就像一种智力维生素，即使在忙碌的日子里，也能让我短暂领略文学的魅力。)”以及“Now, deep in summer, I wonder if I could ever do without it.(如今盛夏已至，我都不知道自己还能否离得开它。)”可知，作者已经深深爱上读诗，对诗歌产生了浓厚的喜爱之情。 C Artificial intelligence is transforming many industries, but one area where its benefits are especially clear is public health. For an industry that demands high accuracy and efficiency, AI could greatly improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. The greatest return from AI may come from detecting life-threatening illnesses earlier and more accurately. In June, Microsoft announced a medical tool that was four times more successful than doctors at identifying complex diseases. Some AI models can even predict health risks years in advance. Scientists recently reported that an AI system could predict the risk of over 1,000 diseases decades into the future. Less noticeable but equally important is AI’s ability to reduce office work. In the US, paperwork costs account for about 30% of extra healthcare spending compared to other countries. Speech-processing technologies can record conversations with patients, create medical notes, and draft letters. A recent study found that using such technologies reduced documentation time for doctors by more than 50%. Clearly, promoting AI adoption should be a priority for governments worldwide. Aging populations and rising healthcare costs are putting pressure on public budgets. The World Health Organization predicts a shortage of about 11 million healthcare workers by 2030, especially in lower-income countries. As the Covid-19 pandemic showed, a healthier global population benefits everyone. However, AI use in healthcare is still new and uneven. The technology is still developing, and strict testing is needed before widespread use. Health professionals need training. Data privacy concerns and outdated IT systems add to the challenges. Managers may hesitate to introduce AI where staff fear job loss. A joint effort from governments, health regulators, and tech companies is needed to fund, test, and deploy AI in hospitals. This will not be easy, but the reward — healthier populations and more sustainable healthcare systems — is worth the effort. 8. What is the main benefit of AI in healthcare according to paragraph 2? A. It reduces the cost of medical treatment. B. It replaces doctors in complex surgeries. C. It speeds up the development of new drugs. D. It enables early and precise disease detection. 9. How does AI help reduce office work in healthcare? A. By replacing human workers with robots. B. By doing paperwork in place of doctors. C. By removing the need for health checks. D. By training doctors to use new technologies. 10. What can be inferred about the current state of AI in healthcare? A. It has been widely adopted in hospitals. B. It has already solved data privacy concerns. C. It hasn’t been put into wide use nowadays. D. It is only used in private healthcare systems. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of AI in healthcare? A. Indifferent. B. Unclear. C. Cautious. D. Supportive. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了人工智能在医疗健康领域的应用，包括疾病检测、行政减负等方面的优势，同时也指出了当前面临的挑战和未来发展的方向。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The greatest return from AI may come from detecting life-threatening illnesses earlier and more accurately. (AI带来的最大回报可能来自更早、更准确地检测出危及生命的疾病。)”可知，AI在医疗健康领域的主要优势在于能够更早、更精准地发现疾病。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第三、四句“Speech-processing technologies can record conversations with patients, create medical notes, and draft letters. A recent study found that using such technologies reduced documentation time for doctors by more than 50%. (语音处理技术可以记录与患者的对话、生成病历并起草信件。最近一项研究发现，使用这类技术可将医生的文书工作时间减少50%以上。)”可知，AI通过处理病历和文书工作来帮助医生减轻行政负担。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第一、二句“However, AI use in healthcare is still new and uneven. The technology is still developing, and strict testing is needed before widespread use. (然而，AI在医疗保健领域的应用仍然处于新兴阶段，且发展不均衡。这项技术仍在发展中，在广泛应用之前需要严格的测试。)”可知，目前AI在医疗领域尚未得到广泛普及。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“This will not be easy, but the reward — healthier populations and more sustainable healthcare systems — is worth the effort. (这并非易事，但其回报——更健康的人口和更可持续的医疗体系——值得付出努力。)”可知，作者虽然承认AI在医疗领域应用面临困难，但认为其回报是值得的，整体态度是认可的、支持的。 D From an early age, we tend to divide ourselves and others into opposing groups — such as “smart vs. dumb” in school or “rich vs. poor” in adulthood. This thinking is often used for simpler identification, but it carries significant risks. Once we assign people or ourselves to a group, several psychological effects take hold. First of all, the group members assume an identity. A label is placed on them, which over time achieves a level of permanency. For example, if you decide yourself as belonging to the “I’m really not creative” group, you tend to view yourself as primarily and permanently uncreative. The longer this belief lasts, the harder it is to change. Moreover, groups provide us with a false sense of comfort. By joining the “I’m not creative” group, we also conveniently protect ourselves from moving beyond the borders of that group into new and often unfamiliar areas. Like birds that hesitate to leave their cages even when the door is open, we eschew the desire to get out of our comfort zone — not because we can’t, but because we won’t. There are not just many like-minded people in the group, but it offers a safe environment to work and play. But the problem doesn’t end there. There is a tsunami of books and articles that use language such as the following: “Creative people are individuals like Leonardo, Edison, Picasso, or Einstein who have changed our culture in some important respects” and “Creative people are the ones who get ahead in their jobs, start new businesses, invent products... paint pictures, and make things of beauty.” When reading these statements, we automatically assign ourselves to that “other group”, knowing that we can never measure up. However, as psychological research has convincingly demonstrated, creativity is not exclusive to a select few; it is a birthright shared by everyone. So, be mindful of what you read. Sometimes, others may be putting you in a box without your knowing. 12. What does the underlined word “eschew” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Avoid. B. Arouse. C. Express. D. Spark. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Creative people are very few. B. Labels may limit our thoughts. C. All great people are creative. D. We can match great people easily. 14. What might the author agree with? A. Creativity belongs to everyone. B. Groups help us know ourselves. C. We should read more books. D. Labels help us identify others. 15. What can be the suitable title for the passage? A. Group Identity: Its Hidden Benefits. B. Age Groups: Key Comparisons. C. Social Labels: Their Hidden Harm. D. Creative Thinking: Ways to Develop It. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要论述了人们习惯给自己和他人贴标签、划分群体的心理现象，并分析了这种社会标签带来的潜在危害，最后点明创造力是每个人与生俱来的权利，提醒人们警惕标签的束缚。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Like birds that hesitate to leave their cages even when the door is open, we eschew the desire to get out of our comfort zone — not because we can’t, but because we won’t.(就像门开了也不愿离开笼子的鸟儿一样，我们eschew走出舒适区的欲望——不是因为做不到，而是不愿意。)”可知，句中将我们比作不愿离笼的鸟，表达我们回避走出舒适区的想法；因此eschew意为“避免，回避”，与A选项“Avoid(避免)”含义相同。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When reading these statements, we automatically assign ourselves to that “other group”, knowing that we can never measure up.(在阅读这些说法时，我们会下意识将自己归入“另一类群体”，认定自己永远达不到标准。)”可知，固化的标签定义会限制我们的自我认知与思维。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, as psychological research has convincingly demonstrated, creativity is not exclusive to a select few; it is a birthright shared by everyone.(然而，心理学研究已有力证明，创造力并非少数人独有，而是人人与生俱来的权利。)”可知，作者认同创造力属于每一个人。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“From an early age, we tend to divide ourselves and others into opposing groups — such as “smart vs. dumb” in school or “rich vs. poor” in adulthood. This thinking is often used for simpler identification, but it carries significant risks.(从小时候起，我们就习惯将自己和他人划分为对立群体——比如校园里的“聪明人与笨蛋”，成年后的“富人与穷人”。这种想法常被用于简单归类识别，却潜藏着巨大隐患。)”、第二段“Once we assign people or ourselves to a group, several psychological effects take hold.(一旦我们将他人或自己归入某个群体，多种心理效应便会随之产生。)”、第三段“Moreover, groups provide us with a false sense of comfort.(此外，群体会给我们带来虚假的安全感。)”以及最后一段“Sometimes, others may be putting you in a box without your knowing.(有时，别人可能会在你不知情的情况下，用标签将你框住。)”可知，全文围绕社会标签及其隐藏危害展开论述；C选项“Social Labels: Their Hidden Harm.(社会标签：其潜藏的危害。)”最能概括文章大意，适合用作标题。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Secrets for shopping healthier at the supermarket Shopping at the supermarket for groceries can be an adventure tour, for food producers don’t always have your best interests in mind. ____16____. Look for a short ingredient list When you find a packaged food with a long list of ingredients on the label, don’t put it straight into your shopping bag. ____17____. The truth is, many of those ingredients are various kinds of sugars and chemicals. Check the list of ingredients every time, because a shorter ingredient list equals fewer added sugars and preservatives (防腐剂). ____18____. The organic label is earned through an officially approved process. All organic farms must keep records and be inspected by officially recognized inspectors. Many supermarkets now carry some organic food, and farmers’ markets, health food stores, and individual farms are good sources of organic food. Be cautious of “natural” labels You may feel like the food labels “natural” and “organic” can be exchanged. ____19____. Although there’s no single set of requirements for products claiming to be natural, such labels are still supposed to be accurate. Farmers or food companies that use the “natural” label are not forced to be inspected as a condition of using the label. Don’t get trapped by watery foods ____20____. And if it’s first on the list of ingredients, it’s clear that there’s a long list of additives (添加剂) to follow. You might not be surprised to see water at the top of the list of ingredients in soups. After all, soup does take a lot of water. A. Learn what “organic” really means. B. Purchase the food with “organic” labels. C. Instead, look for a simpler kind of the food. D. Water is cheap, so the food industry favors it. E. Water is the magic ingredient in prepared foods. F. That’s exactly what food companies want you to think. G. Arm yourself with the following tips the next time you head to the supermarket. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了在超市购物时如何选择更健康的食品，提供了几条实用的建议。 【16题详解】 前文“Shopping at the supermarket for groceries can be an adventure tour, for food producers don’t always have your best interests in mind. (在超市购买食品可能是一次冒险之旅，因为食品生产商并不总是把消费者的最佳利益放在心上。)”指出了购物时可能存在的问题。G选项“Arm yourself with the following tips the next time you head to the supermarket. (下次去超市时，用以下建议武装自己。)”引出下文具体的购物建议，起到了承上启下的作用，符合语境。 【17题详解】 前文“When you find a packaged food with a long list of ingredients on the label, don’t put it straight into your shopping bag.(当你发现一种包装食品的标签上有长长的配料表时，不要直接把它放进购物袋。)”表明，消费者不应立即购买配料表过长的食品。C选项“Instead, look for a simpler kind of the food. (相反，应该寻找配料更简单的食品。)”与上文形成转折关系，给出了正确的购物建议，即选择配料表更短、更简单的食品。 【18题详解】 设空处为本部分小标题，应概括这部分的核心内容。下文“The organic label is earned through an officially approved process. All organic farms must keep records and be inspected by officially recognized inspectors. (有机标签通过官方认可的流程获得。所有有机农场都必须保持记录并接受官方认可的检查员的检查。)”详细解释了“有机”标签的含义和获得条件。A选项“Learn what “organic” really means. (了解“有机”的真正含义。)”概括了本段的核心内容，作为小标题引出下文对“有机”标签的解释，符合文章结构。 【19题详解】 前文“You may feel like the food labels “natural” and “organic” can be exchanged. (你可能会觉得“天然”和“有机”这两个食品标签可以互换使用。)”指出消费者可能存在的错误认知。F选项“That’s exactly what food companies want you to think. (这恰恰是食品公司希望你这么认为的。)”解释了这种错误认知产生的原因，是食品公司有意引导。后文“Farmers or food companies that use the “natural” label are not forced to be inspected as a condition of using the label. (使用“天然”标识的农户与食品企业，无需以接受合规检查作为使用该标签的前提条件。)”接着说明“天然”标签并不等同于“有机”标签，也没有强制检查要求。F选项能承上启下，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据本部分标题“Don’t get trapped by watery foods (不要被含水量高的食物所迷惑)”可知，本部分会谈到“水”。后文“And if it’s first on the list of ingredients, it’s clear that there’s a long list of additives to follow. (如果水在配料表中排在第一位，那么显然后面还会有一长串添加剂。)”表明水在加工食品中常被大量使用，句中it应指代前文中提到的关键名词water。E选项“Water is the magic ingredient in prepared foods. (水是加工食品中的神奇成分。)”出现了后文it所指代的对象water，又概括了本段的主题，即水在加工食品中的特殊地位，引起后文进一步解释水为什么被食品工业青睐以及它带来的问题，符合段落逻辑。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sweat slips down my cheek as I attempt a shoulder stretch and look around.

For weeks, my team — Maya, Jake, and I — had dreamed of this moment: the annual Market Day, when the school gym would transform into a lively fair of student-run businesses. The past month had been intense. We spent countless hours brainstorming ideas, before we finally focused on “FashionHut” with creative handicrafts. Maya loved herbs. She made candles that smelled like flowers with used jars. Jake, skilled with knots, decided to learn weaving friendship bracelets (手链) from online courses. I later contributed painted wooden keychains. Together, we calculated costs, detailed market strategies, and planned pricing carefully, all of which came down to a ten-page business plan. And the most stressful moment was when we presented our plan to the review committee. Eventually, they approved our $300 startup loan. We jumped for joy in the hallway. We produced over eighty items with reasonable prices: candles at 6, bracelets at 4, keychains at $3. So we needed to sell that many items to repay the loan. “Everything’s perfect,” Maya declared. Watching students flood into the gym, I believed her. But an hour passed. Then another. Our table remained painfully quiet while noises erupted around us. A booth (摊位) named “Game On” had a line of students waiting to play balloon-shooting. Next to them, “Magic Bakery” had sold out of cookies. Students walked past our “FashionHut” with barely a glance. “Maybe our prices are too high,” Jake whispered. “But if we lower prices now, we won’t make enough.” I disagreed. The $300 loan hung over us like a storm cloud. We had signed an agreement to repay the full amount. By the two-hour bell, we had sold exactly two candles and one bracelet. We had two hundred and eighty-four dollars to go. Normally, I avoided talking to strangers. In class, I never raised my hand. But now thinking of the loan, weeks of work, and my friends’ disappointed faces, I wouldn’t want our business to go up in smoke. 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。 I took a deep breath and stepped out from behind our table. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maya and Jake soon joined me, and our booth gradually became crowded. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I took a deep breath and stepped out from behind our table. My hands were shaking, but I forced a smile and walked towards a group of students chatting nearby. “Excuse me,” I said softly, my voice barely audible at first. “We have hand-made candles with flower scent, friendship bracelets and painted keychains — all made by us.” To my surprise, one girl stopped and picked up a candle, her eyes lighting up. “This smells amazing! My mom will love it,” she said, buying two at once. Encouraged, I kept talking to other students, introducing our products’ features and the stories behind them. (97词) Maya and Jake soon joined me, and our booth gradually became crowded. We laughed as we explained how Maya collected herbs for the candles, how Jake practiced weaving bracelets late at night, and how I painted each keychain with different patterns. By the end of Market Day, we had sold almost all our items. Holding the money in our hands, we hugged tightly. Not only did we repay the $300 loan, but we also made a small profit. I looked at my friends, proud of how far we’d come — and proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone.
