【答案】18. B 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】 M: The United Nations has announced that India is now the world’s most populated country. In 2022 India had more than 1.412 billion people, almost as many as China. Now it has grown to nearly 1.43 billion. This growth is huge compared to 1950 when India only had 350 million people. The main reason for this growth is that many babies are born in India, more than in any other country. Having so many people can be good and bad for India. It’s good because many people can work, which helps the economy and attracts money from other countries. But there are challenges like not having enough food, health care and schools for everyone. Also, finding a job can be hard because many people need work. Despite these challenges, India has lots of chances to grow. Many companies are building factories there, making things like mobile phones. A big bank said India’s economy could become the third largest in the world by 2027.

Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.
He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”
24. What caused Ghunta’s poor reading ability?
A. Limited family resources. B. Early disinterest in reading.
C. Lacking enough attention. D. Terrible memory.
25. Who inspired Ghunta greatly in his study?
A. His mother. B. His sister.
C. A young teacher. D. Other struggling students.
26. What does paragraph 5 mainly say about Ghunta?
A. His future life. B. His achievements.
C. His family background. D. His self-taught experience.
27. Which of the following can best describe Ghunta’s story?
A. Reading helps people find happiness. B. Direction is the key to success.
C. Poverty contributes to a person’s success. D. A teacher’s belief lights a student’s path.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述Ghunta的成长经历,特别是他从几乎无法阅读到成为儿童书作家和获奖诗人的转变过程,展现了个人奋斗和老师的帮助对他人生路径的深刻影响。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books.(他不仅小时候被关在家里不去上学,而且也没有机会接触到书)”可知,家庭环境的原因造成了Ghunta较差的阅读能力。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.(在她的指导下,Ghunta的阅读能力终于开始提高。他开始觉得更自信了。“她给我留下了识字的礼物,”他说,“以及作为人的价值。”他的生活有了新的方向)”可知,一位年轻老师的激励使Ghunta阅读水平提高,生活也有了新方向。故选C。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.(他从小学毕业时获得了许多学术奖项,其中包括“阅读进步最大”奖。他上了大学。如今,他是两本关于克服童年困难经历的儿童书籍的作者。他现在正在写他的第一部长篇诗集)”可知,第五段主要概括了Ghunta的成就。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”(Ghunta说:“我希望她能看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响,以及我如何将对她的记忆——希望和光明——带在身边,以及它如何继续成为我快乐的源泉。”)”结合本文叙述了Ghunta从几乎无法阅读到成为儿童书作家和获奖诗人的转变过程。在此期间一个年轻老师的出现改变了Ghunta的人生方向,由此可见,教师的信念照亮学生成长之路。故选D。
C
Climate change is stressing rainforests where the highly sensitive cocoa bean grows, but chocolate lovers need not despair, say companies that are researching other ways to grow cocoa or develop cocoa substitutes (替代品).
California Cultured, a plant cell culture company, is growing cocoa from cell cultures at a facility in West Sacramento, California, with plans to start selling its products next year. It puts cocoa bean cells and sugar water together so they reproduce quickly and reach maturity in a week rather than the six to eight months a traditional harvest takes, said Alan Perlstein, the company’s chief executive. The process also no longer requires as much water or labor.
The sales of chocolate candy around the world reached $ 238.5 billion in 2023, research website Statista reported. Sales in the United States alone reached more than $ 25 billion in 2023, the National Confectioners Association said. The price of cocoa rose quickly earlier this year because of demand and troubles with the crop in West Africa due to plant diseases and changes in weather. The region produces the most of the world’s cocoa.
The push to produce cocoa indoors in the US comes after other products, such as chicken meat, have already been grown in labs. It also comes as supermarket shelves fill with snack options — something that developers of cocoa alternatives say shows people are ready to try what looks and tastes like a chocolate chip cookie even if the chip contains a cocoa substitute.
While some are seeking to create alternative cocoa sources and substitutes, others are trying to improve the supply of cocoa where it naturally grows. Mars, which makes M& Ms and Snickers, has a research facility at University of California, Davis aimed at making cocoa plants more resilient so that they are able to recover more easily and quickly from unpleasant environments, said Joanna Hwu, the company’s senior director of cocoa plant science. The facility hosts a living collection of cocoa trees so scientists can study what makes them resistant to more diseases to help farmers in producing countries and ensure a stable supply of beans.
28. What can we say about products from California Cultured?
A. They are produced at a quick speed. B. They have been on sale.
C. They require more labor to make. D. They contain no water.
29. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 3?
A. West Africa is facing an economic crisis.
B. The worldwide market for chocolate is huge.
C. The US produces the most cocoa in the world.
D. The supply of chocolate goes beyond its demand.
30. What does the author want to show by mentioning chicken meat?
A. A reason for eating less chocolate. B. An inspiration for cocoa substitutes.
C. A method of keeping a balanced diet. D. A cause of picking more types of meat.
31. How does Mars deal with the challenge facing cocoa trees?
A. By creating their alternatives. B. By growing them somewhere else.
C. By increasing their resistance. D. By planting them in large numbers.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。面对气候变化导致可可产量减少的情况,各家公司正在想方设法种植可可和生产可可替代品。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“California Cultured, a plant cell culture company, is growing cocoa from cell cultures at a facility in West Sacramento, California, with plans to start selling its products next year. It puts cocoa bean cells and sugar water together so they reproduce quickly and reach maturity in a week rather than the six to eight months a traditional harvest takes, said Alan Perlstein, the company’s chief executive. The process also no longer requires as much water or labor. (植物细胞培养公司California culture正在加州西萨克拉门托的一处工厂用细胞培养物种植可可,并计划明年开始销售其产品。该公司首席执行官艾伦•珀尔斯坦表示,这种方法将可可豆细胞和糖水结合在一起,使它们能够快速繁殖,并在一周内成熟,而传统的收获方法需要6到8个月。这个过程也不再需要那么多的水和劳动力)” 可知,California Cultured公司的可可生产速度很快。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The sales of chocolate candy around the world reached $ 238.5 billion in 2023, research website Statista reported. Sales in the United States alone reached more than $ 25 billion in 2023, the National Confectioners Association said. The price of cocoa rose quickly earlier this year because of demand and troubles with the crop in West Africa due to plant diseases and changes in weather. The region produces the most of the world’s cocoa. (据研究网站Statista报道,2023年,全球巧克力糖果的销售额达到2385亿美元。美国糖果协会表示,仅在美国,2023年的销售额就超过了250亿美元。今年早些时候,可可豆价格迅速上涨,原因是需求旺盛,以及西非因植物病害和天气变化造成的作物问题。该地区生产世界上最多的可可)”可推断,巧克力的全球市场是巨大的。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The push to produce cocoa indoors in the US comes after other products, such as chicken meat, have already been grown in labs. (在美国推动室内生产可可之前,鸡肉等其他产品已经在实验室中种植)” 可推断,作者在本段提及“鸡肉” 是为了表明生产可可替代品的推动力。故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mars, which makes M& Ms and Snickers, has a research facility at University of California, Davis aimed at making cocoa plants more resilient so that they are able to recover more easily and quickly from unpleasant environments, said Joanna Hwu, the company’s senior director of cocoa plant science. The facility hosts a living collection of cocoa trees so scientists can study what makes them resistant to more diseases to help farmers in producing countries and ensure a stable supply of beans. (玛氏的可可植物科学高级主管乔安娜·胡说,玛氏在加州大学戴维斯分校设有一个研究机构,旨在提高可可植物的适应力,使它们能够更容易、更快地从恶劣的环境中恢复过来。玛氏生产M& Ms巧克力和士力架。该设施拥有一批活的可可树,因此科学家可以研究是什么使它们对更多疾病有抵抗力,以帮助生产国的农民,并确保可可豆的稳定供应)” 可知,Mars公司通过提高可可树的抵抗力来解决它们所面临的挑战。故选C。
D
Drinking some alcohol (酒) was once thought to have benefits for the heart, but better research methods have thrown cold water on that. “Drinking less is a great way to be healthier,” said Dr. Timothy Naimi, who directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.
Guidelines vary a lot from country to country but the overall trend is toward drinking less. The United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Holland and Australia recently reviewed new evidence and lowered their alcohol consumption recommendations. Ireland will require cancer warning labels on alcohol starting in 2026.
“People of my age are way more accepting of it,” said Tessa Weber, 28, of Austin, Texas. She stopped drinking this year because she’d noticed alcohol was increasing her anxiety. She liked the results — better sleep, more energy — and has stuck with it. “It’s good to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol,” Weber said.
How many drinks can you have per day? That depends. Drinking raises the risk of several types of cancer, including colon, liver, breast and mouth and throat. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called acetaldehyde, which can damage your cells and stop them from repairing themselves. That creates the conditions for cancer to grow.
“Thousands of US deaths per year could be prevented if people followed the government’s dietary guidelines, which advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day,” Naimi said. One drink is the equivalent of about one12 - ounce (盎司) can of beer, a 5 - ounce glass of wine or a shot of liquor.
Naimi served on an advisory committee that wanted to lower the recommendation for men to one drink per day. That advice was considered and rejected when the federal recommendations came out in 2020. “The simple message that’s best supported by the evidence is that, if you drink, less is better when it comes to health,” Naimi said.
32. What is Tessa Weber’s attitude to the new guideline on alcohol drinking?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
33. What do we know about acetaldehyde?
A. It encourages people to drink less.
B. It benefits the repairs of heart cells.
C. It keeps alcohol from breaking down.
D. It contributes to the growth of cancer.
34. How much alcohol is a man recommended to drink at most per day by the US government?
A. A 5-ounce glass of wine. B. A-6-ounce can of beer.
C. A 10-ounce glass of wine. D. A 12-ounce can of beer.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. New Research on Types of Cancer
B. Alcoholics Are on the Rise in the US
C. Risks and Benefits of Drinking Alcohol
D. Less Alcohol Is Better for Health
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了关于饮酒与健康关系的研究发现和建议,包括不同国家对于饮酒指南的更新、个人对于减少饮酒的看法,以及酒精对健康的潜在风险等内容。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““People of my age are way more accepting of it,” said Tessa Weber, 28, of Austin, Texas. She stopped drinking this year because she’d noticed alcohol was increasing her anxiety. She liked the results — better sleep, more energy — and has stuck with it. “It’s good to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol,” Weber said.(德克萨斯州奥斯汀市28岁的Tessa Weber说:“像我这样年纪的人更容易接受它。”她今年戒了酒,因为她发现酒精增加了她的焦虑。她喜欢这样做的效果——更好的睡眠,更有活力——并坚持了下来。“重新评估你与酒精的关系是件好事,”Weber说)”可知,Tessa Weber对新饮酒指南持积极态度。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“How many drinks can you have per day? That depends. Drinking raises the risk of several types of cancer, including colon, liver, breast and mouth and throat. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called acetaldehyde, which can damage your cells and stop them from repairing themselves. That creates the conditions for cancer to grow.(你每天能喝多少饮料?那得看情况。饮酒会增加患几种癌症的风险,包括结肠癌、肝癌、乳腺癌、口腔癌和咽喉癌。酒精在体内分解成一种叫做乙醛的物质,它会损害你的细胞,阻止它们自我修复。这就为癌症的生长创造了条件)”可知,可知,乙醛有助于癌症的生长。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Thousands of US deaths per year could be prevented if people followed the government’s dietary guidelines, which advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day,” Naimi said. One drink is the equivalent of about one12 - ounce (盎司) can of beer, a 5 - ounce glass of wine or a shot of liquor.(纳伊米说:“如果人们遵循政府的饮食指南,建议男性每天饮酒不超过两杯,女性每天饮酒不超过一杯,那么美国每年数千人的死亡是可以避免的。”一杯饮料相当于一罐12盎司的啤酒,一杯5盎司的葡萄酒或一杯白酒)”可知,美国政府建议男性饮酒不超过两杯,而一杯相当于杯5盎司的葡萄酒,也就是一天不超过一杯10盎司的葡萄酒。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Drinking some alcohol (酒) was once thought to have benefits for the heart, but better research methods have thrown cold water on that. “Drinking less is a great way to be healthier,” said Dr. Timothy Naimi, who directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.(人们曾经认为喝点酒对心脏有益,但更好的研究方法却给这一观点泼了一盆冷水。“少喝酒是保持健康的好方法,”不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚大学加拿大物质使用研究所所长蒂莫西·纳伊米博士说)”以及纵观全文可知,“少喝酒是保持健康的好方法”,这是文章的主旨,后文围绕这一主旨展开论述,说明少喝酒的好处,如可以降低患癌风险等,由此可知选项D“Less Alcohol Is Better for Health(少喝酒对健康有好处)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。

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。
Making decisions is a complex skill. There are always things to consider and the consequences might not be obvious for weeks, months, or years. So you might feel too worried about your choices and experience a constant sense of indecision. ____36____.
Narrow the options
Imagine yourself looking through a streaming platform. Should you watch this action comedy or that romantic drama? ____37____? The first step is to narrow your options. When you reduce your choices, you are more able to look deeply into them and find a better solution, be it for what show you will be watching next or what you are going to study.
Take time but set a deadline
____38____. When someone won’t give you time, they might be too interested in you making a bad choice. So, it’s important to defend your time to make a decision. On the other hand, some people will feel upset endlessly over a decision if not limited in some way. So if you know yourself to be the type to think and overthink, set a deadline for yourself.
Talk things through
A good rule for decisions is to try and talk things through with other people. ____39____. After all, you don’t want to go to people who always discourage you or those who cheer blindly on every option.
Remember that nothing is everlasting
Something that keeps you indecisive is the feeling that whatever decision you make, it will apply forever! This mindset can make you afraid of making decisions.

【答案】36. G 37. C 38. D 39. E 40. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了可以帮助到犹豫不决的人们下决心的方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“So you might feel too worried about your choices and experience a constant sense of indecision.( 因此,你可能会对自己的选择感到过于担忧,并经常感到优柔寡断)”及下文给出了四个帮助解决做决定困难问题的建议可知,该空应该是指出对于此种担忧有解决办法的。由此可知,G. Let’s explore a set of guidelines that help you simplify the process(让我们探索一组帮助您简化该过程的指导方针)承上启下,guidelines呼应下面小标题,simplify呼应上文段首的complex。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Imagine yourself looking through a streaming platform. Should you watch this action comedy or that romantic drama?(想象一下你正在看一个流媒体平台。你应该看这部动作喜剧还是那部爱情剧?)”可知,该空应该是一个选择疑问句,是对于平台播放节目的选择。由此可知,C. Should you start with a show or just a movie(你应该从一场演出开始,还是只看一部电影)符合语境。故选C项。
【38题详解】
根据小标题Take time but set a deadline及下文“When someone won’t give you time, they might be too interested in you making a bad choice. So, it’s important to defend your time to make a decision.(当有人不给你充足时间时,他们可能希望你做出错误的选择。所以,保护你的时间来做决定是很重要的)”可知,本段主要讲做决定前必须有足够的时间去思考,不能仓促。由此可知,D. Being pressured into a decision is often a red flag(在外界压力下做出决定通常是一个危险信号)符合语境,劝诫不要在别人催促情况下仓促决定。故选D项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“A good rule for decisions is to try and talk things through with other people.(做决定的一个好规则是试着和其他人讨论事情)”及下文“After all, you don’t want to go to people who always discourage you or those who cheer blindly on every option.(毕竟,你不会想去找那些总是让你泄气的人,或者那些对每个选择都盲目欢呼的人)”可知,此处表达做决定前可以找人商量,但是人选要慎重,应该选择可靠的人。由此可知,E. However, it’s important to find someone you can trust(然而,找到一个你可以信任的人是很重要的)符合语境。故选E项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Remember you can always change your mind and go after something else.(记住,你可以随时改变主意,去追求别的东西)”及下文“But usually it’s not impossible. So give yourself permission to change your mind later if what you chose doesn’t work out.(但通常也不是不可能。所以,如果你的选择不成功,允许自己稍后改变主意)”可知,上一句说做决定时要知道,什么都不是永恒的,做了决定,不合适就可以改;下一句说改变即使很难但也不是不可能,允许自己对效果不好的决定作出改变,那么做决定时就不会太艰难。由此可知,B. Sure, it can be difficult to change course(当然,改变航向可能很难)承上启下,呼应上文的change,呼应however后面的not impossible,很难但却不是不可能。故选B项。

76. 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。
In a quiet neighborhood where the wind whispered through the trees and the sound of distant cars was a rare interruption, the Wilson family enjoyed their peaceful home. Their house, surrounded by a garden full of greenery, was a picture of family happiness. Next to them, in a lonely courtyard, lived an old man, Mr. Thompson, who lived alone. He used to be a teacher, but now he’s retired.
Mr. Thompson’s health wasn’t what it used to be. His children, now grown, lived far away in a noisy city, leaving him often alone. The Wilsons-Max, Sarah, and their two children-were his frequent visitors, ensuring he had companionship and assistance. Mr. Thompson, in turn, was a caring neighbor, always willing to watch over the Wilsons’ children and pets. One winter, Mr. Thompson had fell on the ice and hurt his leg. It was Max who had rushed to help him, making sure he was safe and comfortable until the doctor arrived. Since then, they had been even more careful to check on Mr. Thompson regularly.
As spring arrived, the Wilsons’ garden bloomed (开花) with colorful flowers and fresh greenery. One sunny afternoon, Max’s youngest son, Daniel, looked up from playing and said, “Dad, I haven’t seen Mr. Thompson looking over the hedge (树篱) for a while. “Max stopped his work and a wave of realization washed over him as he looked at the thickening hedge. Max remembered seeing a sad look in Mr. Thompson’s eyes a few days before.
However, he hadn’t paid much attention to it. Now, he understood that the growing hedge had made their kind neighbor feel lonely.
He remembered Mr. Thompson’s kind eyes, usually looking over the hedge with a friendly wave. He thought about the times they had shared, the laughter and the knowledge Mr. Thompson had passed on to his children. Now, as he looked at the hedge that had grown wild and untrimmed (未修剪的), he felt a sense of loss.
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。
Determined to reconnect, Max gathered his family.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing the Wilsons, Mr. Thompson’s face lit up with joy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Determined to reconnect, Max gathered his family. “We need to help Mr. Thompson,” he said. “Let’s trim the hedge and clean up our yard so he can see us again.” Everyone agreed, excited to take action. They spent the afternoon cutting back the overgrown branches and clearing weeds. As they carefully trimmed the hedge, lowering its height, Mr. Thompson’s house gradually came back into view. Just then they saw an old man standing in the doorway.
Seeing the Wilsons, Mr. Thompson’s face lit up with joy. He stepped outside, “Thank you, friends, for all of this.” he said, his voice shaking a little. Wilson shook his head with sorrow, while the children excitedly chatted with the old man about recent events. Then they tidy up the old man’s garden. They spent a sunny afternoon together, talking and laughing, just as before. The hedge is no longer a wall, but a symbol of their friendship. Mr. Thompson never felt lonely again, for he knew that the neighbors were always with him.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Wilson一家与邻居Thompson先生之间的交往和互动,展现了邻里之间的温情和互助。

②由第二段首句内容“看到Wilson一家,Thompson的脸上露出了喜悦的神色。”可知,第二段可描写两家人又开始了来往,Thompson先生也不再感到孤独。
2.续写线索:Max召集全家人一起帮助Thompson先生——于是,大家一起共同努力,开始修剪树篱——当树篱越来越矮的时候,他们终于看到了站在自家门口的Thompson先生——Thompson先生的脸上露出了喜悦的神色,激动地感激Wilson一家所做的事情——于是,Wilson一家又帮助老人收拾了院子,两家人恢复了联系——Thompson先生再也没有感到孤独,因为他知道自己有个好邻居

Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.
He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”
24. What caused Ghunta’s poor reading ability?
A. Limited family resources. B. Early disinterest in reading.
C. Lacking enough attention. D. Terrible memory.
25. Who inspired Ghunta greatly in his study?
A. His mother. B. His sister.
C. A young teacher. D. Other struggling students.
26. What does paragraph 5 mainly say about Ghunta?
A. His future life. B. His achievements.
C. His family background. D. His self-taught experience.
27. Which of the following can best describe Ghunta’s story?
A. Reading helps people find happiness. B. Direction is the key to success.
C. Poverty contributes to a person’s success. D. A teacher’s belief lights a student’s path.
C
Climate change is stressing rainforests where the highly sensitive cocoa bean grows, but chocolate lovers need not despair, say companies that are researching other ways to grow cocoa or develop cocoa substitutes (替代品).
California Cultured, a plant cell culture company, is growing cocoa from cell cultures at a facility in West Sacramento, California, with plans to start selling its products next year. It puts cocoa bean cells and sugar water together so they reproduce quickly and reach maturity in a week rather than the six to eight months a traditional harvest takes, said Alan Perlstein, the company’s chief executive. The process also no longer requires as much water or labor.
The sales of chocolate candy around the world reached $ 238.5 billion in 2023, research website Statista reported. Sales in the United States alone reached more than $ 25 billion in 2023, the National Confectioners Association said. The price of cocoa rose quickly earlier this year because of demand and troubles with the crop in West Africa due to plant diseases and changes in weather. The region produces the most of the world’s cocoa.
The push to produce cocoa indoors in the US comes after other products, such as chicken meat, have already been grown in labs. It also comes as supermarket shelves fill with snack options — something that developers of cocoa alternatives say shows people are ready to try what looks and tastes like a chocolate chip cookie even if the chip contains a cocoa substitute.
While some are seeking to create alternative cocoa sources and substitutes, others are trying to improve the supply of cocoa where it naturally grows. Mars, which makes M& Ms and Snickers, has a research facility at University of California, Davis aimed at making cocoa plants more resilient so that they are able to recover more easily and quickly from unpleasant environments, said Joanna Hwu, the company’s senior director of cocoa plant science. The facility hosts a living collection of cocoa trees so scientists can study what makes them resistant to more diseases to help farmers in producing countries and ensure a stable supply of beans.
28. What can we say about products from California Cultured?
A. They are produced at a quick speed. B. They have been on sale.
C. They require more labor to make. D. They contain no water.
29. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 3?
A. West Africa is facing an economic crisis.
B. The worldwide market for chocolate is huge.
C. The US produces the most cocoa in the world.
D. The supply of chocolate goes beyond its demand.
30. What does the author want to show by mentioning chicken meat?
A. A reason for eating less chocolate. B. An inspiration for cocoa substitutes.
C. A method of keeping a balanced diet. D. A cause of picking more types of meat.
31. How does Mars deal with the challenge facing cocoa trees?
A. By creating their alternatives. B. By growing them somewhere else.
C. By increasing their resistance. D. By planting them in large numbers.
D
Drinking some alcohol (酒) was once thought to have benefits for the heart, but better research methods have thrown cold water on that. “Drinking less is a great way to be healthier,” said Dr. Timothy Naimi, who directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.
Guidelines vary a lot from country to country but the overall trend is toward drinking less. The United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Holland and Australia recently reviewed new evidence and lowered their alcohol consumption recommendations. Ireland will require cancer warning labels on alcohol starting in 2026.
“People of my age are way more accepting of it,” said Tessa Weber, 28, of Austin, Texas. She stopped drinking this year because she’d noticed alcohol was increasing her anxiety. She liked the results — better sleep, more energy — and has stuck with it. “It’s good to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol,” Weber said.
How many drinks can you have per day? That depends. Drinking raises the risk of several types of cancer, including colon, liver, breast and mouth and throat. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called acetaldehyde, which can damage your cells and stop them from repairing themselves. That creates the conditions for cancer to grow.
“Thousands of US deaths per year could be prevented if people followed the government’s dietary guidelines, which advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day,” Naimi said. One drink is the equivalent of about one12 - ounce (盎司) can of beer, a 5 - ounce glass of wine or a shot of liquor.
Naimi served on an advisory committee that wanted to lower the recommendation for men to one drink per day. That advice was considered and rejected when the federal recommendations came out in 2020. “The simple message that’s best supported by the evidence is that, if you drink, less is better when it comes to health,” Naimi said.
32. What is Tessa Weber’s attitude to the new guideline on alcohol drinking?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
33. What do we know about acetaldehyde?
A. It encourages people to drink less.
B. It benefits the repairs of heart cells.
C. It keeps alcohol from breaking down.
D. It contributes to the growth of cancer.
34. How much alcohol is a man recommended to drink at most per day by the US government?
A. A 5-ounce glass of wine. B. A-6-ounce can of beer.
C. A 10-ounce glass of wine. D. A 12-ounce can of beer.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. New Research on Types of Cancer
B. Alcoholics Are on the Rise in the US
C. Risks and Benefits of Drinking Alcohol
D. Less Alcohol Is Better for Health

In a quiet neighborhood where the wind whispered through the trees and the sound of distant cars was a rare interruption, the Wilson family enjoyed their peaceful home. Their house, surrounded by a garden full of greenery, was a picture of family happiness. Next to them, in a lonely courtyard, lived an old man, Mr. Thompson, who lived alone. He used to be a teacher, but now he’s retired.
Mr. Thompson’s health wasn’t what it used to be. His children, now grown, lived far away in a noisy city, leaving him often alone. The Wilsons-Max, Sarah, and their two children-were his frequent visitors, ensuring he had companionship and assistance. Mr. Thompson, in turn, was a caring neighbor, always willing to watch over the Wilsons’ children and pets. One winter, Mr. Thompson had fell on the ice and hurt his leg. It was Max who had rushed to help him, making sure he was safe and comfortable until the doctor arrived. Since then, they had been even more careful to check on Mr. Thompson regularly.
As spring arrived, the Wilsons’ garden bloomed (开花) with colorful flowers and fresh greenery. One sunny afternoon, Max’s youngest son, Daniel, looked up from playing and said, “Dad, I haven’t seen Mr. Thompson looking over the hedge (树篱) for a while. “Max stopped his work and a wave of realization washed over him as he looked at the thickening hedge. Max remembered seeing a sad look in Mr. Thompson’s eyes a few days before.
However, he hadn’t paid much attention to it. Now, he understood that the growing hedge had made their kind neighbor feel lonely.
He remembered Mr. Thompson’s kind eyes, usually looking over the hedge with a friendly wave. He thought about the times they had shared, the laughter and the knowledge Mr. Thompson had passed on to his children. Now, as he looked at the hedge that had grown wild and untrimmed (未修剪的), he felt a sense of loss.
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。
Determined to reconnect, Max gathered his family.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing the Wilsons, Mr. Thompson’s face lit up with joy.
