And that’s precisely why one 32 Frenchman has caught our attention. Baptiste Dubanchet is biking across Europe, surviving 33 on discarded (丢弃) food. The three-month, 1, 900-mile journey from Paris to Warsaw is Dubanchet’s 34 of raising awareness of food waste in Europe and throughout the world. As you can 35 , the trip is no piece of cake. While restaurants 36 tons of food each year, much of it remains inaccessible because of 37 garbage containers, health regulations, or business policies. Only about one in ten places 38 him food that would otherwise be discarded. For legal 39 , most restaurants have a policy against 40 food waste. “Some people have even 41 their jobs by giving me food,” Dubanchet said. What’s 42 interesting is the attitude various cities have toward Dubanchet’s cause. Berlin has been the 43 while the most difficult was the Czech town of Pilsen. There, he had to 44 at some 50 different stores or restaurants before finding food. The 45 is all the more serious when you consider the 46 exercise required to bike from France to Poland. “I have to get food 47 because after all the biking I am tired and I need the 48 ,” Dubanchet explained. “Is my 49 full or empty? That is the most important thing, not what I am eating.” He aims to 50 his journey by mid-July. With any luck, he’ll turn a few more heads in the process. 31.

B In 1998, a group of friends were making soup together when inspiration struck: They wondered if they could transform their vegetables into musical instruments. The idea started as a light-hearted joke. But since they were signed up to perform at an upcoming festival anyway, they decided to test out their idea. That’s when the Vegetable Orchestra was born. Now, over two decades later, the Vegetable Orchestra has played more than 340 concerts using fresh carrots, pumpkins, and other veggies. The group has now set a world record for most concerts by a vegetable orchestra — one that’s likely to stand for years to come. According to Guinness World Records, the members are the “unrivalled” record holders in this category. The Vegetable Orchestra is based in Vienna, Austria, but performs all over the world. The group experiments with a variety of musical categories — from free jazz to experimental electronic music. But everything it plays falls under the umbrella of “Gemusik”, a mixture of the German words for “vegetable” and “music”. “There are no musical boundaries for the Vegetable Orchestra,” according to the group’s website. “The musical range of the team expands consistently, and the vegetable instruments and their inherent sounds often determine the direction.” Because fresh veggies only last a few hours after being cut and handled, every concert requires complete reinvention of instruments. Each musician makes between eight and 25 instruments for each show. After buying produce from local markets, they then use drills, knives and other kitchen tools to transform the veggies into flutes, violins and more. Some instruments are made of several different types of vegetables — such as a saxophone-like “cucumberphone” made from a carrot, a cucumber and a bell pepper. The pieces of veggies left over from preparing the instruments get cooked into soup. At the end of each concert, the band members serve the soup to the audience. “Many people think we’re kind of just a funny performance,” said orchestra member Susanna Gartmayer. “But they’re surprised to understand there’s actually a lot of sound potential in vegetables and that we want to make really interesting music.” 56. The underlined word “unrivalled” in paragraph 2 probably means . A. undetected B. unqualified C. unmatched D. unrecognized 57. What is the significance of “Gemusik” for the Vegetable Orchestra? A. It breaks the national boundaries of music. B. It defines the guiding philosophy of their art. C. It shows their focus on using certain vegetables. D. It represents a strategy to connect with audiences. 58. What seems to be a challenge to the Vegetable Orchestra? A. The lack of skilled instrument makers. B. The need to constantly create new instruments. C. The struggle to find diverse kinds of vegetables. D. The difficulty of mastering vegetable instruments. 59. What does Susanna Gartmayer’s statement reveal about the Vegetable Orchestra? A. They will prioritize comedy over musical quality. B. They have trouble recycling leftover vegetables. C. They face doubt but aim to create serious art. D. They find it hard to interact with audiences. 60. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Unique Sound of Fresh Vegetables B. The Vegetable Orchestra: An Odd World Record C. The Art of Vegetable Cooking and Music Creation D. When Vegetables Meet Music: A Creative Integration C Not only do some mosquito species show very strong preferences for obtaining their blood meals from humans, they also appear to discriminate one person from another when choosing their next meal. It has long been thought that the blood type is a critical factor that influences mosquitoes’ choices. A previous study published in Nature found mosquitoes landed on people with type O blood nearly twice as often as on those with type A blood and that people with type B blood fell somewhere in between the above two. Relatively speaking, people with type AB blood are much luckier than those with type A blood. There are also many old wives’ tales about mosquito bites. Some think that having fair skin, being sweaty and even eating food with garlic can influence biting rates one way or the other. There are plenty of these anecdotes and for the most part they don’t appear to have much influence when scientifically tested. That’s why a great deal of research effort is put into understanding mosquitoes’ feeding choices. All mosquito species use carbon dioxide as a long-range indicator of nearby people. However, CO₂ is everywhere and provides little information to help a specialist mosquito identify its preferred target. Lactic (relating to milk) acid has been demonstrated to be a significant attractant alongside CO₂ and is much more common in humans than in other animals. Other chemicals also help supplement the human odor (气味). But a recent study has found the best evidence for what motivates a mosquito’s choice among different people — the variation in our skin microorganisms. These microorganisms are mostly not disease-causing bacteria which live on our skin. The odor combination they give off is the critical factor in telling mosquitoes how tasty we’d be. We have an estimated one million bacteria per square cm of skin, often comprising hundreds of species. Using a special method to obtain the particular chemicals from people who seem to rarely attract mosquitoes, scientists at the UK’s Rothamsted Research have found these natural substances that mosquitoes don’t seem to find appealing. Eventually, including these substances into advanced bug spray could make it possible for people to ward off mosquitoes for good. 61. Which one is mosquitoes’ favorite according to the study published in Nature? A. Type A blood. B. Type B blood. C. Type AB blood. D. Type O blood. 62. What do we learn about the anecdotes about mosquitoes? A. They mostly have something to do with daily diets. B. They lay the foundations for further study. C. They all lack solid scientific evidence. D. They all originate from old tales. 68. How do mosquitoes find target food according to the recent study? A. By releasing an odor to numb human skin. B. By calculating the density of CO₂ around them. C. By stimulating their receptors of some chemicals. D. By following the odor of human skin microorganisms. 64. What do scientists of Rothamsted Research aim to do? A. Develop effective anti-mosquito products. B. Find out factors that affect the human odor. C. Seek cures for diseases caused by mosquitoes. D. Explore the composition of skin microorganisms. 65. What would be the best title for the text? A. Why is it important to prevent mosquito bites? B. Why do mosquitoes prefer some people to others? C. Why are certain chemicals attractive to mosquitoes? D. Why are microorganisms so vital to people’s health? D Having a rival (对手) can keep you committed to achieving your goals and enhance your overall performance. But before you go out and find an entrepreneur (创业者) to out compete, it’s important to understand and avoid the traps that often come with rivalry. After all, competitive rivalry can also make it difficult for you to make a decision and increase your willingness to take risks, behaviors that can ultimately hurt your venture’s (企业) success. Finding someone you’ re committed to out competing can be a great way to stay focused on your goals and push your venture to the next level. But when you’ re intently focused on outperforming your rivals, you may begin to develop a “win-at-all-costs” mentality that causes you to ignore how you achieve success. One group of researchers, for example, examined the link between rivalry and unethical behavior. They found that when people compete against their rivals, they are more willing to behave unethically to win. But such behavior may damage your reputation and strain relationships important to your success. One way to avoid this trap is to stop and reflect on what’s important. While outperforming your rivals may provide short-term benefits, the loss of your integrity will have long-term consequences. One reason having a rival can enhance your venture’s performance is that it creates a level of excitement that drives you to work harder. But this eagerness to win may also hurt your venture’s success, particularly when it causes you to make impulsive, insensible decisions. But it’s possible to avoid such costly mistakes by making a habit of engaging in critical thinking, such as considering opposing viewpoints and conducting cost-benefit analyses, especially for those decisions that are complex and can determine the future of your venture. The sense of eagerness that comes with having a rival can not only cause you to make poorer decisions, but it can also lead you to take greater risks that put your venture in great dangers. One way you can overcome the risk-inducing (诱发) effects of rivalry that stand to endanger your venture’s success is to remain attentive to your emotional state and actively monitor how such feelings are affecting your decision-making. 66. How can competitive rivalry benefit entrepreneurs according to the passage? A. By enabling them to out compete other entrepreneurs, B. By enabling them to make their venture a success, C. By helping them to reach long-term goals, D. By helping them to stay goal-oriented. 67. What is one of the traps entrepreneurs may often fall into when competing with rivals? A. They may adopt strategies that are bound to ruin their venture. B. They may depend on unethical means to outperform their rivals. C. They may be too eager to succeed while ignoring the huge labor cost. D. They may be intently focused on winning at the current market level. 68. What are entrepreneurs advised to do to avoid traps that often accompany rivalry? A. Think very carefully about what really matters. B. Prioritize obtaining immediate benefits. C. Estimate the long-term consequences. D. Reflect on what successes are achievable. 69. How can entrepreneurs avoid making impulsive and insensible decisions? A. By engaging themselves in critical reasoning. B. By developing a habit of keeping their integrity. C. By criticizing themselves for previous poor performances. D. By stopping themselves from being too excited about their successes. 70. How can entrepreneurs overcome the risk-inducing effects of rivalry? A. By paying close attention to their current performance. B. By taking steps that stand to endanger their rivals’ success. C. By monitoring how their decision-making impacts their mentality. D. By keeping their emotions in check to avoid making poor decisions. 第三部分 写作（满分35分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） My high school, like many others, was extremely competitive not only in sports but also in academic subjects. The pressure of trying to get excellent grades while joining in extra-curricular activities could be great. Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was home my time was spent doing homework. Some days I was so busy finishing a project that I could hardly see my families. I have a younger sister named Sally. She was nine years old. We used to see each other, but after I graduated from the primary school she attended, I saw her less and less. Then one day I came home to an empty house and I found a note from my mom saying my sister was at her friend’s and would be dropped off. At five o’clock I saw my sister walking towards the door with her friend and her friend’s father. I heard them talking. “Is anyone at home?” the father asked. “Just my mean older sister, Sara, and she’s probably in her room as usual,” my sister replied. I couldn’t believe it. I opened the door, thanked the father for bringing her home, then shut the door and started to cry. To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room. But I realized that what was worse than the fight was that I really hadn’t been a good elder sister. I had lost track of what was important, and what really mattered. I had been fallen into a whirlpool (漩涡) of pressure and competition, and it took my sister’s honest observation to show me that the grades I got didn’t matter to everyone — certainly not to her. All that matters to her is that I’m her elder sister, and that’s what matters to me, too. 71. What kind of life did the author live at high school? (No more than 5 words) 72.

What really matters is the love and the feelings from the family members. 作文 It’s a pleasure to join today’s discussion on technology and youth. I’d like to share my thoughts on AI assistants. An AI assistant is essentially a smart tool designed to make our lives easier. It can perform a wide range of tasks, from answering questions and setting reminders to providing personalized learning support. In my own life, I frequently use an AI assistant called “Xiao Ai” to organize my study schedule. Last week, while preparing for an important exam, Xiao Ai not only reminded me to review key concepts but also suggested taking regular breaks to avoid burnout. This feature significantly boosted my productivity and helped me stay focused. However, I’ve also noticed a potential problem. Some students simply copy AI answers without thinking. They no longer try to solve problems on their own. As a result, they become lazy in thinking and lose their ability to work independently. Therefore, my dear club members, let’s use AI assistants wisely. They are tools to help us learn, not to replace our own thinking. Let AI be your helpful partner, not your boss. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
