Food labels tell you all sorts of information, including but not limited to the following: Date marking: Use-by and best before dates Foods with a shelf life of less than 2 years must have a best before or use-by date. The best before date refers to food quality. Once the best before date has passed, the food may still be safe to consume, but it may have lost some quality and nutritional value. Products with a best before date can legally be sold after that date, provided the product is still fit for human consumption. Foods that should not be consumed after a certain date for health and safety reasons must have a use-by date. This means they cannot be sold after that date. You will find use-by dates on foods with a short shelf life, such as meat, fish and dairy products. Nutrition Facts Nutrition Facts tell you the quantity of various nutrients a food contains per serve, as well as per 100 g or 100 ml. Ingredients All ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight, including added water. The first ingredient listed contributed the largest amount and the last ingredient listed contributed the least. Here is a sample. Sample Label for Frozen Lasagna (千层面) 1. Which product is more likely to be labeled with a “use-by” date? A. Canned tomatoes. B. Fresh chicken. C. Packaged biscuits. D. Bottled water. 2. How many calories would you take in by eating the whole container of Frozen Lasagna? A. 227. B. 280. C. 908. D. 1,120. 3. Which ingredient has the highest percentage in Frozen Lasagna? A. Italian Tomatoes. B. Pasta. C. Ricotta Cheese. D. Paprika. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了食品标签包含的核心信息：日期标注、营养成分、配料表，以及如何通过解读食品标签为饮食选择提供参考。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。文章“Date marking: Use-by and best before dates”部分中明确提到“Foods that should not be consumed after a certain date for health and safety reasons must have a use-by date. This means they cannot be sold after that date. You will find use-by dates on foods with a short shelf life, such as meat, fish and dairy products. (因健康安全原因过了特定日期不能食用的食品必须标注保质期，这意味着过了该日期就不能售卖，保质期短的食品如肉类、鱼类和乳制品会标注保质期)”。新鲜鸡肉属于肉类，保质期短，需标注保质期；罐装番茄、包装饼干、瓶装水保质期长，通常标注最佳食用日期。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。文章“Sample Label for Frozen Lasagna”部分，配套的冷冻千层面标签中显示“4 servings per container (每盒4份)”，“Calories 280 (每份280卡路里)”，总卡路里为4×280=1120。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。文章“Ingredients”部分中说明“All ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight, including added water. The first ingredient listed contributed the largest amount and the last ingredient listed contributed the least. (所有配料必须按重量降序排列，包括添加的水，列出的第一个配料占比最大，最后一个占比最小)”。标签中配料表首项为Italian Tomatoes (意大利番茄)，因此其占比最高。故选A项。 B A grandmother cooks chicken. A group of kids, ages 8 to 14, watch her make the dish. This cooking class is part of a “Summer Camp” in Southern California. At this camp, grandmas are in charge. Each week, they teach young campers how to cook a new dish and do crafts. “Loneliness is something that seniors are challenged with, and they love having younger people around them,” said Zainab, who works at Olive Community Services that brings older adults together and created the camp. During the last week of the camp, a 9-year-old Janna learned how to use a sewing machine and make pockets. The camper had pressed hard on the machine’s pedal, making the needle move quickly. “Slowly, slowly,” Rahim, a grandma teaching the sewing class, said to her. The girl smiled when she made it. Rahim said the camp is “filling a gap” for kids. Many schools don’t teach these skills like cooking and sewing. Rahim also doesn’t get to spend much time with her grandchildren because they don’t live close. “It is heartwarming to be able to interact with those who love being around you,” she said. The summer camp was organized through a partnership with the Golden Connections Club started by a 14-year-old high school student Leena to encourage teens and seniors to interact. She noticed that many students didn’t have the chance to spend as much time with their grandparents. She also learned about challenges faced by senior adults, such as unfair treatment. The club organizes monthly lunches at Leena’s school. They invite the seniors to the school and discuss topics where both groups can learn from each other. One of the most valuable lessons they’ve shared with her is to live in the moment, and this has taken on new meaning for Leena. “The people we have right now, they’re not going to be with us forever,” she said. 4. What can we know about the Summer Camp? A. It is mainly about cooking. B. It offers jobs to teenagers. C. It is held on a monthly basis. D. It is in the charge of the seniors. 5. What do the underlined words “filling a gap” mean in paragraph 3? A. Providing engaging games. B. Offering nutritious meals. C. Teaching practical techniques. D. Organizing interactive activities. 6. What did Rahim think of teaching the sewing class at the camp? A. Refreshing. B. Fulfilling. C. Challenging. D. Pioneering. 7. What is the main purpose of the club? A. To pass down traditional recipes. B. To ensure an inclusive atmosphere. C. To improve elderly people’s welfare. D. To promote interaction between generations. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了美国南加州举办由老年人主导的夏令营，教授青少年烹饪、缝纫等技能，该活动源于一学生创办的俱乐部，旨在促进代际互动，弥补技能教学空缺。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“At this camp, grandmas are in charge.(在这个营地，都是奶奶们在负责管理)”可知，夏令营由老年人负责。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Many schools don’t teach these skills like cooking and sewing(许多学校并未教授诸如烹饪和缝纫这类技能)”可知，夏令营中奶奶们教授这些实用技能，因此“filling a gap”指“弥补学校在实用技能教学上的空缺”，即“教授实用技巧”。故划线词指的是“传授实用技巧”。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It is heartwarming to be able to interact with those who love being around you(能够与那些喜欢与你相处的人交流，真是令人感到温暖幸福)”可知，她认为教缝纫课是“有成就感的、令人满足的”。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The summer camp was organized through a partnership with the Golden Connections Club started by a 14-year-old high school student Leena to encourage teens and seniors to interact.(这次夏令营是通过与“金色联系”俱乐部的合作组织的。该俱乐部由一名14岁的高中生莉娜创立，旨在鼓励青少年和老年人相互交流)”可知，这个俱乐部的主要目的是促进不同年龄段人群之间的交流互动。故选D。 C The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D. C., real estate developers see potential. Cities across the U. S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D. C. are now hoping that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. A project in D. C. which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion in the city. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with the rent around $ 4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing (经济适用房). “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.” “The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. The decline of manufacturing in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms. 8. What are cities like D. C. attempting to do? A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Build new houses in suburbs. C. Knock down unused buildings. D. Encourage working from home. 9. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3? A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families. C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs. 10. How does Tracy Loh view the conversion? A. Realistic. B. Influential. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Offices Are Becoming Homes C. Housing Demand Is Crying for More D. Manufacturing Is Making A Comeback 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍美国多地将闲置办公楼改造为住宅，以此缓解办公空间过剩与住房短缺两大城市难题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Cities like D. C. are now hoping that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.(如今华盛顿特区等城市希望将闲置办公楼改造成住宅，用一个难题化解另一个难题。)”可知，这类城市打算重新利用闲置办公楼。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with the rent around $ 4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing (经济适用房). (规划中包含泳池、宠物狗乐园等配套设施，月租金约4000美元。不过其中60套房源将划为经济适用房。)”可知，该项目兼顾盈利与社会需求。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的““The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.”(布鲁金斯学会研究员特雷西·洛长期研究旧建筑改造再利用，她称住房缺口之大，远非改造房源所能填补。但她认为这类项目依旧价值十足，“在增加住房供给这件事上，确实能一举两得。”)”可知，特雷西·罗认为该改造方案贴合现实情况，看法务实。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“Cities like D. C. are now hoping that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.(如今华盛顿特区等城市希望将闲置办公楼改造成住宅，用一个难题化解另一个难题。)”以及最后一段中的“Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.(就像昔日空置厂房变为新潮公寓，如今闲置办公楼也正改造成时尚居所。)”可知，文章核心内容是办公楼逐步改造为住宅，所以题目“办公室正在变身住宅”概括了文章主题，适合作为文章标题。 D Nitrogen fertiliser (氮肥) is essential for modern agriculture but carries a heavy environmental price, contributing to water pollution and soil degradation. However, simply reducing its use is not a solution. Crops typically respond to nitrogen shortage by investing more in root growth to search for nutrients, often at the expense of shoot (茎叶) development and grain production. While adaptive in the wild, this root-shoot trade-off limits agricultural productivity. For decades, the gene behind this trade-off has been unknown. In a new study, researchers from Nanjing Agricultural University, the University of Oxford, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences not only identified the gene responsible, but demonstrated that modifying it in rice can ensure stable shoot growth and yields even when nitrogen levels are low. The breakthrough could ultimately reduce dependence on artificial fertilisers. In experiments, the team found that a gene in rice called WRINKLED1a has distinct roles in the shoot and root. In the shoot, it switches on NGR5, a key gene that promotes branching. In the roots, WRINKLED1a supports nitrogen uptake, but also prevents the formation of a protein complex that would otherwise limit root growth. Interestingly, WRINKLED1a does not prevent this protein complex in the shoot, showing that its roles are tissue-specific. From over 3,000 rice varieties, the team identified a naturally stronger version of the gene and used traditional plant breeding (育种) to cross it into varieties carrying a weaker form. Over three field trials in Hainan and Anhui provinces, China, rice plants with this improved version maintained a more stable root-to-shoot balance across different nitrogen conditions, resulting in a 23.7% yield increase under low fertiliser use and a 19.9% increase under high fertiliser use. Lead author Dr. Shan Li noted that WRINKLED1a helps rice avoid the usual “more roots, less shoot” situation under nitrogen limitation, supporting stable yields with lower nitrogen inputs. “The next step is to investigate whether similar genes in other crops, such as wheat and corn, can be used to achieve the same outcomes,” she added. 12. Which aspect of the root-shoot trade-off does the new study focus on? A. Its economic cost. B. Its nutritional demand. C. Its genetic mechanism. D. Its environmental impact. 13. What can we learn about WRINKLED1a? A. Its function varies in different tissues. B. Its effect is restricted to the shoot. C. It promotes protein complex formation. D. It reduces nitrogen levels in the roots. 14. What might the study help to do according to the text? A. Contribute to food diversity. B. Facilitate sustainable farming. C. Justify nitrogen fertiliser use. D. Advance rice breeding methods. 15. What do Dr. Shan Li’s words suggest? A. The limitation of the research. B. A challenge in applying the findings. C. The need to test the outcomes. D. A possible direction for further study. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕农作物在缺氮环境下的根冠权衡现象展开，介绍科研团队成功锁定调控该现象的关键基因，改良水稻品种实现减肥增产，并展望该研究在其他农作物上的后续应用前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For decades, the gene behind this trade-off has been unknown. In a new study, researchers not only identified the gene responsible, but demonstrated that modifying it in rice can ensure stable shoot growth and yields even when nitrogen levels are low. (几十年来，控制这种根冠权衡的基因一直不为人知。在一项新研究中，研究人员不仅找到了关键基因，还证实改良水稻中的该基因，能让水稻在低氮环境下依旧维持茎叶正常生长与产量稳定。)”可知，这项新研究聚焦根冠权衡背后的基因运作机制。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Interestingly, WRINKLED1a does not prevent this protein complex in the shoot, showing that its roles are tissue-specific. (有趣的是，WRINKLED1a基因不会在茎叶组织中抑制该蛋白质复合体的形成，这表明它的功能具有组织特异性。)”可知，该基因在不同植物组织中作用不同。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The breakthrough could ultimately reduce dependence on artificial fertilisers. (这一突破最终有望减少农业对人工化肥的依赖。)”以及第四段“Over three field trials in Hainan and Anhui provinces, China, rice plants with this improved version maintained a more stable root-to-shoot balance across different nitrogen conditions, resulting in a 23.7% yield increase under low fertiliser use and a 19.9% increase under high fertiliser use.(在中国海南省和安徽省的三次田间试验中，使用这种改进版本的水稻在不同的氮肥条件下保持了更稳定的根冠平衡，在低化肥使用下产量增加了23.7%，在高化肥使用下增加了19.9%。)”可知，该研究能够减少化肥使用、兼顾增产与生态保护，助力可持续农业发展。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The next step is to investigate whether similar genes in other crops, such as wheat and corn, can be used to achieve the same outcomes. (下一步我们将研究小麦、玉米等其他农作物中是否存在同类基因，能否复刻相同的增产效果。)”可知，Shan Li博士的话指明了后续进一步研究的发展方向。 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 The coming of high-tech era is still based on the development of human ability to use tools. ____16____: The positive aspects of these abilities were dug out by human survival instinct, while the negative ones were ignored because they were insignificant. When organized civilization began to appear on the earth, people began to make vehicles. ____17____. On the negative side, they made the burden of slaves heavier and increased the possibility of civilian uprising. During the alternation period between the middle ages and the modern world in the 17th and 19th centuries, when the industrial revolution was flourishing, there were many great inventions in the hands of human beings, such as the steam engine and many factories. ____18____. The positive side provided a solid foundation for scientific exploration, greatly enhanced the power, and greatly enhanced the carrying capacity. The negative side is that the environmental pollution is greatly worsened. In the 20th century, mankind began to use nuclear energy, and the advantages gained from the 17th to 19th centuries continued to grow substantially. ____19____. But at the same time, the negative effects were also increasing, secretly. The leakage of nuclear energy makes the economy of some countries face collapse (such as Japan), and as long as a terrorist has mastered the code for launching a nuclear bomb, human life in the world will be at risk. In the 21st century, the positive and negative aspects brought about by nuclear deterrence (威慑) have stabilized and stopped growing. ____20____. But the disadvantages are inevitable: For example, the Internet makes many netizens addicted to the Internet, the network crime, is unchecked, and the development of artificial intelligence to a certain extent may produce self-consciousness, and it is possible to resist human beings with its high intelligence. As for the follow-up, we can only see how human beings decide their own direction. A. From ancient times, human beings began to learn to use stone axes to cut down trees and drill wood for fire B. In addition, nuclear deterrence (威慑) stabilized the world situation, especially with the coming of the next World War C. We should treat the rapid development of science and technology with correct eyes D. On the positive side, they mainly enhanced the carrying capacity and had more functions E. The positive and negative aspects increased in proportion F. However, the Internet, artificial intelligence, new energy development and other emerging fields have greatly benefited mankind G.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲述了作者买了一个精美的笔记本，结果却因为太过珍惜而没有使用它，反而作者在破本子上写下了许多灵感。这件事让作者明白，真正的奇迹发生在实际的写作中，而非完美的纸页里。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我确信这会让我成为那种经常写日记、捕捉美好想法的人。A. changes改变；B. captures捕捉，记录；C. follows跟随；D. lacks缺乏。根据上文“journals regularly”和空后“beautiful thoughts”可知，这里指写日记记录美好想法。故选B。 【22题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：那本漂亮的笔记本几个月没动过。A. unfinished未完成的；B. unclaimed无人认领的；C. undiscovered未被发现的；D. untouched原封未动的。根据上文“But it didn’t work.(但它没有起作用。)”和下文“When I finally opened it, I hesitated.(当我终于打开它时，我犹豫了一下。)”可知，作者买完笔记本就没用过，一直没动它。故选D。 【23题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这些页面感觉太精致、太珍贵，不能浪费在我凌乱的笔迹和想法上。A. secret秘密的；B. smart聪明的；C. precious珍贵的；D. personal个人的。根据空前“The pages felt too delicate”可知，笔记本的页面非常精美、珍贵。故选C。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：于是我合上了它。A. closed关闭、合上；B. decorated装饰；C. delivered递送；D. fixed使固定。根据上文“The pages felt too delicate and too _____ to waste on my messy handwriting and ideas.”可知，笔记本太精美了，作者不想乱写乱划糟蹋它，所以合上笔记本，不再用它。故选A。 【25题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：相反，我抓起了一本破旧丑陋的作文笔记本，封面破了，角也折了。A. torn撕裂的；B. hard坚硬的；C. hidden隐藏的；D. fancy精致的。根据空前“an old, ugly composition notebook”和空后“dog-eared corners”可知，笔记本破旧丑陋，有折角，说明笔记本的外观不好，这里应是说封面破了。故选A。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我开始在上面写满各种东西：晨间书写、随机的想法和提醒。A. guard守卫；B. surround围绕；C. fill使充满；D. serve服务。根据空后“it with everything: morning pages, random thoughts and reminders”可知，作者在破旧笔记本上写了各种各样的东西，也就是用内容填满它。故选C。 【27题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这是令人惊讶的自由。A. annoying令人恼怒的；B. freeing使人自由的；C. demanding要求高的；D. convincing有说服力的。根据上文“I started to ______ it with everything: morning pages, random thoughts and reminders.”和下文“in that freedom”可知，作者在破旧笔记本上随意书写，感觉很自由。故选B。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我们过于欣赏某个东西时，我们会对它加以限制，觉得它“太好了”。A. plan计划；B. doubt怀疑；C. control控制；D. admire欣赏。根据下文“feeling it is “too good””可知，感觉这个东西“太好”，那就是非常欣赏它。故选D。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：但丑陋的笔记本没有这样的压力。A. luck运气；B. warning警告；C. promise承诺；D. pressure压力。根据上文“we place limits around it”和下文“With the pressure off”可知，笔记本太好，我们会有许多书写压力，而对破笔记本则没有这样的压力。故选D。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：它告诉我，“这是一个思考和生活的工具，而不是博物馆的作品。”A. tool工具；B. test测试；C. guide指南；D. reason原因。根据空后“for thinking and living”可知，笔记本是用来思考和生活的书写工具。故选A。 【31题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：事情是这样的：不完美的笔记本是创意孵化器。A. incomplete不完整的；B. impractical不切实际的；C. imperfect不完美的；D. irregular不规则的。根据上文“an old, ugly composition notebook with a _____ cover and dog-eared corners”可知，笔记本破旧丑陋，还有缺陷，这里指不完美的笔记本。故选C。 【32题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：你尝试可能会失败的事情。A. cheat欺骗；B. fail失败；C. hurt伤害；D. disappear消失。根据上文“_____ notebooks are idea incubators (孵化器)”和空前“You try things that might”以及下文“bad ideas”可知，既然破旧的笔记本是创意孵化器，那么在上面可以随意尝试书写想法，而这些想法不一定都会成功。故选B。 【33题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：在这种自由中，我最初感到尴尬的坏想法逐渐演变成我引以为豪的作品。A. slightly轻微地；B. initially最初；C. hardly几乎不；D. consequently因此。根据下文“gradually evolved into work I’m proud of”可知，最初的坏想法可能最终变成好作品。故选B。 【34题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：它是你真正伸手拿过来用的东西。A. run into遇到；B. refer to参考；C. look at看；D. reach for伸手去拿。根据上文“The best notebook is never the most beautiful one.(最好的笔记本永远不会是最漂亮的。)”和前文作者用破旧笔记本自由写作而不是用精致笔记本的描述可知，最好的笔记本不在于精致外观，而在于拿起来使用。故选D。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：因为奇迹发生在写作中，而不是在完美的页面中。A. preparing准备；B. thinking思考；C. writing写作；D. reading阅读。根据上文“I started to _____ it with everything: morning pages, random thoughts and reminders.”和“I actually wrote.(我确实在写作。)”可知，文章核心是写日记，奇迹发生在实际书写中，而非完美的空白纸页。故选C。 第二节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） 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。 China’s food market is being reshaped by the rise of “pre-prepared dishes”.

As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food. They cook delicious food and obtain a simple pleasure from eating. So, I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique, I had completely failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would I make a complete fool of myself? That evening, I called a friend and asked her to explain exactly how to use chopsticks. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb, first and middle fingers. “It is not that hard,” she said. “That is easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It is natural for you!” I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I kept turning around in bed all night, worrying about lunch the next day. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done in the morning. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the server in Chinese. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how kind and helpful he was. 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。 Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. As soon as they were brought in front of me, I took them carefully in my hand. I looked over at my boss and we exchanged a smile. With determination, I grasped the chopsticks and attempted to pick up some rice and a piece of meat. However, my fingers slipped and the food fell back onto the plate. I was overwhelmed with a sense of embarrassment due to my failed attempts. At that moment, I saw my boss giving me a reassuring nod, which motivated me to keep trying. I gathered the courage and tried again, determined to master this skill. Through trial and error, I gradually got the hang of using chopsticks. In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I was glad that my new boss was so thoughtful that he could take everything into consideration. And I was really happy that I had decided to ask for chopsticks. After that, we often went out for lunch in that restaurant. Despite facing a number of challenges, I persevered in my attempts to use chopsticks. With the help of my friend and the patience of my boss, I was able to overcome my fear of using chopsticks and practice until became proficient. It struck me that diversity is not about how we differ, but about embracing one another’s uniqueness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者在温哥华一家中加合资公司入职，老板邀他去中餐馆吃庆功午餐。他因不会用筷子十分焦虑，连夜向朋友请教。到店后他才发现，贴心的老板提前备好刀叉，帮他免去了尴尬，这让他十分感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我立刻下定决心，让服务员拿来一双筷子。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者主动索要筷子尝试使用，屡次失手倍感尴尬，在老板鼓励下慢慢学会了用筷。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，我全然不再尴尬。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者不再感到尴尬，坚持练习学会用筷，并领悟到应接纳彼此的不同。 2.续写线索：尝试使用筷子——失手倍感尴尬——鼓励下逐渐学会使用筷子——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①激励：motivate/inspire/encourage ②克服：overcome/conquer /get over 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/delighted/glad ②害怕：fear/terror/horror 【点睛】[高分句型1] As soon as they were brought in front of me, I took them carefully in my hand.（运用了as soon as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] At that moment, I saw my boss giving me a reassuring nod, which motivated me to keep trying.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 山西大学附中 2025—2026学年第二学期高三6月模块诊断 英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Food labels tell you all sorts of information, including but not limited to the following: Date marking: Use-by and best before dates Foods with a shelf life of less than 2 years must have a best before or use-by date. The best before date refers to food quality. Once the best before date has passed, the food may still be safe to consume, but it may have lost some quality and nutritional value. Products with a best before date can legally be sold after that date, provided the product is still fit for human consumption. Foods that should not be consumed after a certain date for health and safety reasons must have a use-by date. This means they cannot be sold after that date. You will find use-by dates on foods with a short shelf life, such as meat, fish and dairy products. Nutrition Facts Nutrition Facts tell you the quantity of various nutrients a food contains per serve, as well as per 100 g or 100 ml. Ingredients All ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight, including added water. The first ingredient listed contributed the largest amount and the last ingredient listed contributed the least. Here is a sample. Sample Label for Frozen Lasagna (千层面) 1. Which product is more likely to be labeled with a “use-by” date? A. Canned tomatoes. B. Fresh chicken. C. Packaged biscuits. D. Bottled water. 2. How many calories would you take in by eating the whole container of Frozen Lasagna? A. 227. B. 280. C. 908. D. 1,120. 3. Which ingredient has the highest percentage in Frozen Lasagna? A. Italian Tomatoes. B. Pasta. C. Ricotta Cheese. D. Paprika. B A grandmother cooks chicken. A group of kids, ages 8 to 14, watch her make the dish. This cooking class is part of a “Summer Camp” in Southern California. At this camp, grandmas are in charge. Each week, they teach young campers how to cook a new dish and do crafts. “Loneliness is something that seniors are challenged with, and they love having younger people around them,” said Zainab, who works at Olive Community Services that brings older adults together and created the camp. During the last week of the camp, a 9-year-old Janna learned how to use a sewing machine and make pockets. The camper had pressed hard on the machine’s pedal, making the needle move quickly. “Slowly, slowly,” Rahim, a grandma teaching the sewing class, said to her. The girl smiled when she made it. Rahim said the camp is “filling a gap” for kids. Many schools don’t teach these skills like cooking and sewing. Rahim also doesn’t get to spend much time with her grandchildren because they don’t live close. “It is heartwarming to be able to interact with those who love being around you,” she said. The summer camp was organized through a partnership with the Golden Connections Club started by a 14-year-old high school student Leena to encourage teens and seniors to interact. She noticed that many students didn’t have the chance to spend as much time with their grandparents. She also learned about challenges faced by senior adults, such as unfair treatment. The club organizes monthly lunches at Leena’s school. They invite the seniors to the school and discuss topics where both groups can learn from each other. One of the most valuable lessons they’ve shared with her is to live in the moment, and this has taken on new meaning for Leena. “The people we have right now, they’re not going to be with us forever,” she said. 4. What can we know about the Summer Camp? A. It is mainly about cooking. B. It offers jobs to teenagers. C. It is held on a monthly basis. D. It is in the charge of the seniors. 5. What do the underlined words “filling a gap” mean in paragraph 3? A. Providing engaging games. B. Offering nutritious meals. C. Teaching practical techniques. D. Organizing interactive activities. 6. What did Rahim think of teaching the sewing class at the camp? A. Refreshing. B. Fulfilling. C. Challenging. D. Pioneering. 7. What is the main purpose of the club? A. To pass down traditional recipes. B. To ensure an inclusive atmosphere. C. To improve elderly people’s welfare. D. To promote interaction between generations. C The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D. C., real estate developers see potential. Cities across the U. S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D. C. are now hoping that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. A project in D. C. which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion in the city. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with the rent around $ 4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing (经济适用房). “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.” “The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. The decline of manufacturing in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms. 8. What are cities like D. C. attempting to do? A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Build new houses in suburbs. C. Knock down unused buildings. D. Encourage working from home. 9. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3? A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families. C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs. 10. How does Tracy Loh view the conversion? A. Realistic. B. Influential. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Offices Are Becoming Homes C. Housing Demand Is Crying for More D. Manufacturing Is Making A Comeback D Nitrogen fertiliser (氮肥) is essential for modern agriculture but carries a heavy environmental price, contributing to water pollution and soil degradation. However, simply reducing its use is not a solution. Crops typically respond to nitrogen shortage by investing more in root growth to search for nutrients, often at the expense of shoot (茎叶) development and grain production. While adaptive in the wild, this root-shoot trade-off limits agricultural productivity. For decades, the gene behind this trade-off has been unknown. In a new study, researchers from Nanjing Agricultural University, the University of Oxford, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences not only identified the gene responsible, but demonstrated that modifying it in rice can ensure stable shoot growth and yields even when nitrogen levels are low. The breakthrough could ultimately reduce dependence on artificial fertilisers. In experiments, the team found that a gene in rice called WRINKLED1a has distinct roles in the shoot and root. In the shoot, it switches on NGR5, a key gene that promotes branching. In the roots, WRINKLED1a supports nitrogen uptake, but also prevents the formation of a protein complex that would otherwise limit root growth. Interestingly, WRINKLED1a does not prevent this protein complex in the shoot, showing that its roles are tissue-specific. From over 3,000 rice varieties, the team identified a naturally stronger version of the gene and used traditional plant breeding (育种) to cross it into varieties carrying a weaker form. Over three field trials in Hainan and Anhui provinces, China, rice plants with this improved version maintained a more stable root-to-shoot balance across different nitrogen conditions, resulting in a 23.7% yield increase under low fertiliser use and a 19.9% increase under high fertiliser use. Lead author Dr. Shan Li noted that WRINKLED1a helps rice avoid the usual “more roots, less shoot” situation under nitrogen limitation, supporting stable yields with lower nitrogen inputs. “The next step is to investigate whether similar genes in other crops, such as wheat and corn, can be used to achieve the same outcomes,” she added. 12. Which aspect of the root-shoot trade-off does the new study focus on? A. Its economic cost. B. Its nutritional demand. C. Its genetic mechanism. D. Its environmental impact. 13.

As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food. They cook delicious food and obtain a simple pleasure from eating. So, I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique, I had completely failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would I make a complete fool of myself? That evening, I called a friend and asked her to explain exactly how to use chopsticks. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb, first and middle fingers. “It is not that hard,” she said. “That is easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It is natural for you!” I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I kept turning around in bed all night, worrying about lunch the next day. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done in the morning. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the server in Chinese. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how kind and helpful he was. 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。 Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
