第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

A
There are many options for what to drink, but water is the best choice for most people. It is calorie-free and easy to find.
How much water do you need?
One of the most familiar sayings is to aim for “8 glasses a day,” but this may not be appropriate for every person. The National Academy of Medicine suggests a proper intake of daily fluids of about 13 cups and 9 cups for healthy men and women, respectively, with 1 cup equaling 8 ounces. Higher amounts may be needed for those who are physically active or exposed to very warm climates. Lower amounts may be needed for those with smaller body sizes. It’s important to note that these amounts are not a daily target, but a general guide.
General recommendations for daily water intake
Age
Daily Intake
1-3 years
4 cups, or 32 ounces
4-8 years
5 cups, or 40 ounces
9-13 years
7-8 cups, or 56-64 ounces
14-18 years
8-11 cups, or 64-88 ounces
men, 19 and older
13 cups, or 104 ounces
women, 19 and older
9 cups, or 72 ounces
Is it possible to drink too much water?
There is no Tolerable Upper Intake Level for water because the body can usually remove the extra by passing water or sweating. However, a condition called water intoxication (中毒) is possible in rare cases, in which sodium (钠) levels in the blood fall too low. This is usually caused by drinking large amounts of water while at the same time losing sodium through sweat.
1. What factors affect daily water intake?
A. Age and personality.
B. Climate and diet.
C. Weight and mental condition.
D. Gender and physical activity.
2. Which daily water intake can be recommended for a 15-year-old?
A. 7 cups. B. 10 cups.
C. 12 cups. D. 13 cups.
3. Who most likely gets intoxication if drinking much water?
A. A runner in a marathon.
B. A hiker eating salty snacks.
C. A swimmer in a warm pool.
D. A cyclist fueled by sports drinks.
B
After a recent negative car rental experience, I found myself going down a familiar rabbit hole, scrolling (滚屏) through online reviews of the company. The experience was over, yet I kept reading complaint after complaint from strangers. But I’m not the only one who does this. Why do we look up reviews for a hotel we’ve already stayed at, a movie we’ve watched, or even a doctor we’ve visited? If we’re no longer gathering information to guide our decision-making, what are we looking for? On the face of it, it seems pointless, but this common habit actually reveals how we interpret our experiences, especially the disappointing ones.
People often experience inner conflict after making a decision. This can be something small, like ordering food or buying a book, or far more significant choices, like picking a career, or choosing a life partner. It is known as post-decision dissonance (不协调) — the psychological discomfort we feel after choosing between multiple options.
Once a decision is made, the alternatives don’t simply disappear. Instead, they remain in our minds, along with the unsettling thought that another option might have been better. That discomfort is what sends us searching. In fact, this feeling isn’t limited to purchases. It can arise anytime we commit to one path and close off others.
After my disappointing car rental experience, I wasn’t looking for information to help me decide. That moment had passed. Instead, I simply wanted to understand what had already happened, and convince myself I hadn’t made a foolish decision. Reading negative reviews from others with similar experiences helped shift my version of the story: maybe the problem wasn’t just me. Maybe the rental company was truly awful. Once we’ve had an experience, good or bad, we’re no longer gathering information. We’re trying to find peace within ourselves. It’s not about reviews but about gaining a sense of identity, and emotional closure for what we’ve been through.
4. Why does the author mention his car rental experience in paragraph 1?
A. To complain about the poor service.
B. To warn readers against rental traps.
C. To introduce a common human habit.
D. To show the effect of negative reviews.
5. What can we learn about post-decision dissonance?
A. It appears in most decisions in life.
B. It causes unease after making a choice.
C. It reminds people to solve inner conflict.
D. It pushes people to weigh multiple options.
6. What makes people seek relevant comments after making a decision?
A. The fear of missing better alternatives.
B. The curiosity about others’ feelings.
C. The desire to discover more possibilities.
D. The need to learn from past experiences.
7. What does the author think of post-experience review reading?
A. It confirms personal identity.
B. It offers convincing excuses.
C. It provides practical guidance.
D. It serves emotional purposes.
C
Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned.
Many young people entering university to study literature have not read extensively (广泛地), and they often have difficulty doing so during their time at university. This is a growing trend that many academics have observed, although it isn’t always the case. Bate told the BBC’s Today programme, “The currently fashionable answer is that it’s to do with the reduced attention due to smartphones, six-minute YouTube videos and instant TikTok hits.”
“Actually it all begins in schools. You only have to look at the thinning of A-level syllabuses (教学大纲) and the tendency to assign works because they’re shorter,” Bate said.
He added that it was also “an unintended consequence of the push in both the top British and American universities towards diversity and access… as some students come from schools where the teachers’ main task is crowd control, and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there.”
State-funded charter (特许) schools in the US were an interesting phenomenon, however. “There’s a big comeback of classical education within these schools,” Bate said.
Bate explained that his son was exposed to an extensive variety of works. “My teenager has just graduated from a charter high school called Great Hearts and there they read Iliad, Odyssey, Inferno, Crime and Punishment. He came home one day saying that they had been praised for studying Hegel because it’s really difficult. I’m amazed that 17-year-old American kids are reading Hegel. So there is some hope.”
“If you haven’t got readers, what are writers going to do? The deep, thoughtful, quiet reading of great books is good for mental health. It’s also good for developing skills, for concentration and critical thinking, and if that falls away, that is problematic for society and individuals.”
8. How does the author present the topic?
A. By stating a worrying change.
B. By citing a research finding.
C. By explaining a cultural concept.
D. By describing a typical professor.
9. Which of the following does Bate think is a reason for the trend?
A. Overuse of smartphones.
B. Limited access to literary works.
C. Insufficient school education.
D. Poor learning ability at university.
10. What does Bate imply by referring to his son?
A. Classical education is not a lost cause.
B. The young are no strangers to classics.
C. Charter schools deserve more attention.
D. Great books are within teenagers’ reach.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Literary Taste Gives Way to Screens
B. Deep Reading Benefits Mental Health
C. Literature Students Face a Reading Crisis
D. Traditional Education Makes a Comeback
D
A new study offers fresh insight into how people assess the environmental impact of the foods they eat, and the results suggest many are getting it wrong. These misunderstandings point to a clear need for simple environmental impact labels to help guide better choices.
Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s School of Psychology asked 168 participants in the UK to sort a wide variety of supermarket foods into environmental impact categories of their own making. Participants were also shown scientific estimates of each product’s environmental impact and asked whether the results were higher or lower than they expected.
The study found that people tend to assess the impact of food using two main factors: whether the food comes from animals or plants, and how processed it is. In general, participants assumed that meat and dairy products, as well as highly processed foods, are worse for the environment.
However, these assumptions sometimes belie reality. Many participants overestimated the environmental impact of processed foods while underestimating the impact of water-intensive (高耗水的) products. They were also surprised to learn how much higher the environmental impact of beef is compared to other meats like chicken.
Food production plays a major role in environmental issues, including greenhouse gases and biodiversity loss. Encouraging more sustainable eating habits depends in part on understanding how people perceive the environmental footprint of different foods.
Daniel Fletcher, lead author of the study, said, “We found participants would be willing to change their purchasing behavior based on this task, but they may struggle to compare the environmental impact of animal-based products and highly processed foods because they see their effects as too different to weigh against each other. Environmental impact data on food products is opening up new possibilities for this research, and labels that give foods a single overall grade (such as A-E) could help make these comparisons easier for consumers, thus allowing people to make sustainable food choices.”
12. What do the researchers hope to find out about the participants?
A. Their understanding of food quality.
B. Their preferences for popular food.
C. Their methods for food categorization.
D. Their view of food’s ecological cost.
13. What does the underlined word “belie” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Ignore. B. Affect.
C. Disclose. D. Mismatch.
14. What do consumers require according to Daniel Fletcher?
A. Change of shopping behavior.
B. A uniform grading system.
C. More data on food consumption.
D. A comparison of different foods.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advise on food choices.
B. To call for food eco-labels.
C. To advocate good eating habits.
D. To show dietary carbon footprint.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all play little mind games. We set clocks ahead to avoid being late. ____16____ Some imagine the worst, just to scare themselves into working harder. Different tricks, same purpose: to push ourselves when our own motivation isn’t enough.
These tricks are especially common among people who feel they must be perfect for everyone else. These people think the world expects them to nail everything, to never say “I can’t.” For them, doing something isn’t about the thing itself — it’s about not letting anyone down. So here’s the real question: Are you doing this because you want to, or because you’re afraid of what happens if you don’t? ____17____
A little trick here and there? No big deal. The trouble starts when you can’t stop. When you care too much about what others think, you reach for these tricks all the time. Over time, they stop being tricks. ____18____ And they become hard to spot — even in yourself.
Think of a kid who keeps playing a sport just to make his parents proud. He might love the game, but that’s not why he’s out there. ____19____ So he stays. But anger builds. He can’t be mad at his parents, so he aims it at the other team. Beating them becomes his proof that he’s good enough. This anger becomes his fuel. But look closer: he’s not playing to win. He’s playing to survive.
____20____ But there’s a difference between using one now and then, and building your whole life on them. So it’s worth asking: Do I want to spend my whole life just getting by?
A. They become who you are.
B. We all need these tricks sometimes.
C. For these people, it’s almost always fear.
D. Quitting would feel like letting them down.
E. They turn into tools you use without thinking.
F. Pushing yourself a little harder is never a bad thing.
G. Athletes find reasons to get fired up against opponents.

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Over 30 years ago, I started to build my dream house in a rural town. It was a ____21____ process, worsened by a demanding career that kept me traveling across Asia and the Pacific. ____22____ work, parenting, and the house often felt too much for me.
One day I walked into a lighting shop. The shopkeeper wasn’t exactly ____23____ but, as it was the only furniture shop around, she won my ____24____. I asked her some questions and received only one-or two-word answers. After ____25____ some lighting fittings, I was about to leave when she looked me firmly in the eyes and said, “However ____26____ your life seems, someone always has it far worse.” Then she went into the back of the shop.
I was taken aback by her ____27____ and vividly remember getting into my truck and thinking how ____28____ and out of line she was. But as I returned home I ____29____ her words. Then it hit me — she was ____30____ right.
The shopkeeper wasn’t offering those words with kindness but that is ____31____. What she said deeply impacted my life. She must have seen something in me that ____32____ her comment, and it helped me ____33____ the vital truth: perspective (视角) is everything.
I don’t think that woman could have ____34____ how much I would take her words on board. Years later, I found myself with two types of cancer. Yet I’ve gone through various treatments, and now I feel ____35____ simply because I can wake up each morning with the opportunity to enjoy my life as it is.
21. A. lonely B. stressful C. gradual D. regular
22. A. Balancing B. Integrating C. Skipping D. Choosing
23. A. silent B. serious C. friendly D. honest
24. A. business B. trust C. admiration D. approval
25. A. replacing B. fixing C. examining D. purchasing
26. A. plain B. fruitless C. tough D. changeable
27. A. strategy B. comment C. complaint D. advice
28. A. rude B. selfish C. strict D. wise
29. A. believed in B. reflected on C. worried about D. benefited from
30. A. absolutely B. slightly C. barely D. temporarily
31. A. evident B. meaningless C. irrelevant D. typical
32. A. indicated B. interrupted C. confirmed D. motivated
33. A. declare B. analyze C. expose D. realize
34. A. forgotten B. imagined C. recorded D. proved

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15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。
Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is ____36____ (possible) the world’s most famous painting, but that doesn’t mean we ____37____ (solve) all of its mysteries (奥秘) by now. Art experts still have questions about it. And thanks to high-tech innovations, they’re constantly discovering new information about da Vinci’s masterpiece.
For example, in 2007, French engineer and inventor Pascal Cotte announced his findings. According to Cotte, the Mona Lisa, ____38____ (paint) with eyebrows (眉毛) and eyelashes in da Vinci’s time, now appears different from its original look.
Cotte designed his own high-resolution camera ____39____ (study) the Mona Lisa up close. He identified ____40____ single hair from the eyebrow area and inferred that the Mona Lisa once had a full set. It’s unclear ____41____ her brows and lashes have disappeared, though Cotte has suggested that the paint has worn away or, more likely, that they were accidentally removed during cleaning and ____42____ (restore).
Some of Cotte’s other findings are even more surprising. Apparently, the painting’s subject was originally presented ____43____ a covering across her lap that has almost lost color, ____44____ may explain her unique arm position. He also said her famous smile may have been wider and more ____45____ (express) than the slight, mysterious smile we know today.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Tonight,” Grandpa clapped me on the back, “we work, Rahim. We work like men.” Outside stars were beginning to appear. Grandpa climbed on his bicycle. My friend Aslam and I jogged beside him.
A sweet smell rose from Mr. Ahmed’s mango trees as we passed. Aslam slowed his jog, picked a few mangoes, and stuffed them into his pockets. I wished I were as lucky as Aslam with his movie-star hair, always making trouble, never getting caught. I wished I were at home, studying for the coming exam. I wished... But Grandpa was counting on me. We needed the money. He worked hard so I could stay in school.
When we reached the Lawachara National Park, the moon had risen midway into the sky. We entered the shadows of the forest. Aslam feared there might be tigers behind the trees. I told him they were rarely seen there. He then reminded me of our task of catching pangolins (穿山甲), and warned me not to be overly merciful. He still remembered how I’d saved a snake from those boys the week before. My stomach began to turn. I knew what the traders would do with the pangolin if we found one.
“A den (兽穴)is near. Stay and watch. I’m going further on to another.” Grandpa handed Aslam a cardboard box. “Remember, the traders won’t pay for an empty box. They want big pangolins with many scales (鳞). The better the scales, the better the money. I’m counting on you, boys.” Then he walked away.
Aslam asked why people would pay so much for pangolins. I told him they thought the scales were magical and could cure all kinds of diseases. Then he went on with his movie-star dream, promising all our money troubles would end once he made it. We chatted away, watching the moon climbing higher into the sky.

【导语】本文主要介绍了水是健康的日常饮品,介绍了不同人群的每日适宜饮水量,同时指出饮水量需要根据个人情况灵活调整。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The National Academy of Medicine suggests a proper intake of daily fluids of about 13 cups and 9 cups for healthy men and women, respectively, with 1 cup equaling 8 ounces. Higher amounts may be needed for those who are physically active or exposed to very warm climates. Lower amounts may be needed for those with smaller body sizes.(美国国家医学院建议,健康的男性每天摄入约13杯液体,健康的女性约9杯(1杯等于8盎司)。对于那些体力活动较多或处于炎热气候环境中的人,可能需要更多的水。体型较小的人则可能需要较少的水。)”可知,美国国家医学院建议,每天男性应摄入13杯水,而女性则需要9杯,且体力活动较多或处于炎热气候环境中的人,需要的水量更多,因此每天摄入的水量与性别和体力活动有关。

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, a condition called water intoxication (中毒) is possible in rare cases, in which sodium (钠) levels in the blood fall too low. This is usually caused by drinking large amounts of water while at the same time losing sodium through sweat.(然而,在极少数情况下可能出现一种称为“水中毒”的状况,此时血液中的钠含量降得过低。这通常是由于大量饮水的同时,通过汗液流失了钠。)”可知,“水中毒”的情况发生于饮用大量水的同时排出大量的汗,故可推知马拉松跑者大量出汗,且可能过度饮水,因此容易发生“水中毒”的情况。
B
After a recent negative car rental experience, I found myself going down a familiar rabbit hole, scrolling (滚屏) through online reviews of the company. The experience was over, yet I kept reading complaint after complaint from strangers. But I’m not the only one who does this. Why do we look up reviews for a hotel we’ve already stayed at, a movie we’ve watched, or even a doctor we’ve visited? If we’re no longer gathering information to guide our decision-making, what are we looking for? On the face of it, it seems pointless, but this common habit actually reveals how we interpret our experiences, especially the disappointing ones.
People often experience inner conflict after making a decision. This can be something small, like ordering food or buying a book, or far more significant choices, like picking a career, or choosing a life partner. It is known as post-decision dissonance (不协调) — the psychological discomfort we feel after choosing between multiple options.
Once a decision is made, the alternatives don’t simply disappear. Instead, they remain in our minds, along with the unsettling thought that another option might have been better. That discomfort is what sends us searching. In fact, this feeling isn’t limited to purchases. It can arise anytime we commit to one path and close off others.
After my disappointing car rental experience, I wasn’t looking for information to help me decide. That moment had passed. Instead, I simply wanted to understand what had already happened, and convince myself I hadn’t made a foolish decision. Reading negative reviews from others with similar experiences helped shift my version of the story: maybe the problem wasn’t just me. Maybe the rental company was truly awful. Once we’ve had an experience, good or bad, we’re no longer gathering information. We’re trying to find peace within ourselves. It’s not about reviews but about gaining a sense of identity, and emotional closure for what we’ve been through.
4. Why does the author mention his car rental experience in paragraph 1?
A. To complain about the poor service.
B. To warn readers against rental traps.
C. To introduce a common human habit.
D. To show the effect of negative reviews.
5. What can we learn about post-decision dissonance?
A. It appears in most decisions in life.
B. It causes unease after making a choice.
C. It reminds people to solve inner conflict.
D. It pushes people to weigh multiple options.
6. What makes people seek relevant comments after making a decision?
A. The fear of missing better alternatives.
B. The curiosity about others’ feelings.
C. The desire to discover more possibilities.
D. The need to learn from past experiences.
7. What does the author think of post-experience review reading?
A. It confirms personal identity.
B. It offers convincing excuses.
C. It provides practical guidance.
D. It serves emotional purposes.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述人们事后查阅评价的普遍习惯,解释该行为源于决策后心理失调,并说明其本质是为获得心理慰藉。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“But I’m not the only one who does this. Why do we look up reviews for a hotel we’ve already stayed at, a movie we’ve watched, or even a doctor we’ve visited? (但并不是只有我一个人会这样做。我们为什么会去查阅已经住过的酒店、看过的电影、甚至就诊过的医生的评价?)”可知,作者讲述租车经历是为了引出人们事后查阅评价的普遍习惯。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It is known as post-decision dissonance — the psychological discomfort we feel after choosing between multiple options. (这被称为决策后失调——我们在多个选项中做出选择后所感受到的心理不适。)”可知,决策后失调会让人们做出选择后感到不安。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, they remain in our minds, along with the unsettling thought that another option might have been better. That discomfort is what sends us searching.(相反,这些备选方案会留在我们的脑海中,伴随着一种令人不安的想法:另一个选择或许会更好。正是这种不适感促使我们去搜寻相关评价)”可知,人们害怕错过更好的备选方案,因此会在做决定后搜寻相关评论。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“We’re trying to find peace within ourselves. It’s not about reviews but about gaining a sense of identity, and emotional closure for what we’ve been through. (我们是在寻求内心的平静。这与评价本身无关,而是为了获得自我认同,为自身经历完成情感收尾。)”可知,作者认为事后查阅评价是出于情感层面的需求。

Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned.
Many young people entering university to study literature have not read extensively (广泛地), and they often have difficulty doing so during their time at university. This is a growing trend that many academics have observed, although it isn’t always the case. Bate told the BBC’s Today programme, “The currently fashionable answer is that it’s to do with the reduced attention due to smartphones, six-minute YouTube videos and instant TikTok hits.”
“Actually it all begins in schools. You only have to look at the thinning of A-level syllabuses (教学大纲) and the tendency to assign works because they’re shorter,” Bate said.
He added that it was also “an unintended consequence of the push in both the top British and American universities towards diversity and access… as some students come from schools where the teachers’ main task is crowd control, and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there.”
State-funded charter (特许) schools in the US were an interesting phenomenon, however. “There’s a big comeback of classical education within these schools,” Bate said.
Bate explained that his son was exposed to an extensive variety of works. “My teenager has just graduated from a charter high school called Great Hearts and there they read Iliad, Odyssey, Inferno, Crime and Punishment. He came home one day saying that they had been praised for studying Hegel because it’s really difficult. I’m amazed that 17-year-old American kids are reading Hegel. So there is some hope.”
“If you haven’t got readers, what are writers going to do? The deep, thoughtful, quiet reading of great books is good for mental health. It’s also good for developing skills, for concentration and critical thinking, and if that falls away, that is problematic for society and individuals.”
8. How does the author present the topic?
A. By stating a worrying change.
B. By citing a research finding.
C. By explaining a cultural concept.
D. By describing a typical professor.
9. Which of the following does Bate think is a reason for the trend?
A. Overuse of smartphones.
B. Limited access to literary works.
C. Insufficient school education.
D. Poor learning ability at university.
10. What does Bate imply by referring to his son?
A. Classical education is not a lost cause.
B. The young are no strangers to classics.
C. Charter schools deserve more attention.
D. Great books are within teenagers’ reach.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Literary Taste Gives Way to Screens
B. Deep Reading Benefits Mental Health
C. Literature Students Face a Reading Crisis
D. Traditional Education Makes a Comeback
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】牛津教授指出如今文学专业学生阅读量大幅下降,并分析该现象成因,也提及了利好现状与深度阅读的重要性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned. (牛津大学英国文学教授乔纳森·贝特爵士警示,文学专业学生过去一周读三本书,如今三周都难以读完一本。)”可知,作者通过陈述一个令人担忧的变化引出话题。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Actually it all begins in schools. You only have to look at the thinning of A-level syllabuses and the tendency to assign works because they’re shorter,” Bate said. (贝特表示:事实上这一切始于学校。只需看看英国高级程度考试教学大纲的缩减,以及学校倾向于布置篇幅更短的作品的现象便能知晓。)”和第四段“He added that it was also “an unintended consequence of the push in both the top British and American universities towards diversity and access… as some students come from schools where the teachers’ main task is crowd control, and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there.” (他补充道,“这也是英美顶尖大学推行多元化招生和普及教育带来的意外结果……部分学生就读的学校中,教师的主要工作是维持秩序,因此学校没有对长篇书籍阅读提出要求。”)”可知,贝特认为该现象的原因是学校教育存在不足。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“State-funded charter schools in the US were an interesting phenomenon, however. “There’s a big comeback of classical education within these schools,” Bate said. (然而,美国公立特许学校是一个有趣的现象。贝特称:“这些学校的古典教育正在强势回归。”)”以及后续讲述儿子在特许学校研读多部经典著作、学习深奥知识,以及第六段最后“So there is some hope. (所以仍存有希望。)”可知,贝特提及儿子的经历是为了说明古典教育并未彻底没落,仍有发展希望。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段“Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned. (牛津大学英国文学教授乔纳森·贝特爵士警示,文学专业学生过去一周读三本书,如今三周都难以读完一本。)”可知,全文围绕文学专业学生阅读量锐减这一核心问题展开,介绍了该现象、分析背后成因、列举特例并阐述深度阅读缺失的危害,其核心主题是文学专业学生面临阅读危机。
D
A new study offers fresh insight into how people assess the environmental impact of the foods they eat, and the results suggest many are getting it wrong. These misunderstandings point to a clear need for simple environmental impact labels to help guide better choices.
Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s School of Psychology asked 168 participants in the UK to sort a wide variety of supermarket foods into environmental impact categories of their own making. Participants were also shown scientific estimates of each product’s environmental impact and asked whether the results were higher or lower than they expected.
The study found that people tend to assess the impact of food using two main factors: whether the food comes from animals or plants, and how processed it is. In general, participants assumed that meat and dairy products, as well as highly processed foods, are worse for the environment.
However, these assumptions sometimes belie reality. Many participants overestimated the environmental impact of processed foods while underestimating the impact of water-intensive (高耗水的) products. They were also surprised to learn how much higher the environmental impact of beef is compared to other meats like chicken.
Food production plays a major role in environmental issues, including greenhouse gases and biodiversity loss. Encouraging more sustainable eating habits depends in part on understanding how people perceive the environmental footprint of different foods.
Daniel Fletcher, lead author of the study, said, “We found participants would be willing to change their purchasing behavior based on this task, but they may struggle to compare the environmental impact of animal-based products and highly processed foods because they see their effects as too different to weigh against each other. Environmental impact data on food products is opening up new possibilities for this research, and labels that give foods a single overall grade (such as A-E) could help make these comparisons easier for consumers, thus allowing people to make sustainable food choices.”
12. What do the researchers hope to find out about the participants?
A. Their understanding of food quality.
B. Their preferences for popular food.
C. Their methods for food categorization.
D. Their view of food’s ecological cost.
13. What does the underlined word “belie” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Ignore. B. Affect.
C. Disclose. D. Mismatch.
14. What do consumers require according to Daniel Fletcher?
A. Change of shopping behavior.
B. A uniform grading system.
C. More data on food consumption.
D. A comparison of different foods.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advise on food choices.
B. To call for food eco-labels.
C. To advocate good eating habits.
D. To show dietary carbon footprint.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了一项关于人们如何评估食物对环境影响的心理学研究及其发现。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段中“Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s School of Psychology asked 168 participants in the UK to sort a wide variety of supermarket foods into environmental impact categories of their own making.(诺丁汉大学心理学院的研究人员要求英国168名参与者将各种超市食品按自己设定的环境影响类别进行分类)”可知,研究人员希望了解参与者对食物生态成本的看法。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。 根据第四段中“However, these assumptions sometimes belie reality. Many participants overestimated the environmental impact of processed foods while underestimating the impact of water-intensive products.(然而,这些假设有时会与现实belie。许多参与者高估了加工食品对环境的影响,却低估了高耗水产品的影响)”可知,许多参与者高估了加工食品对环境的影响,却低估了高耗水产品的影响,说明人们的假设与现实不符,即不匹配,所以划线单词的意思为“不匹配”。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段中“Environmental impact data on food products is opening up new possibilities for this research, and labels that give foods a single overall grade (such as A-E) could help make these comparisons easier for consumers, thus allowing people to make sustainable food choices.(食品的环境影响数据正在为这项研究开辟新的可能性,而那些为食品提供单一综合评级(如A-E)的标签,则有助于消费者更轻松地进行此类比较,从而让人们做出可持续的食品选择)”可知,消费者需要一个统一的评分系统来帮助比较。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第一段中“These misunderstandings point to a clear need for simple environmental impact labels to help guide better choices.(这些误解表明,迫切需要简单的环境影响标签来帮助引导更好的选择)”以及全文内容可知,本文旨在通过介绍研究结果来呼吁推广食品生态标签。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all play little mind games. We set clocks ahead to avoid being late. ____16____ Some imagine the worst, just to scare themselves into working harder. Different tricks, same purpose: to push ourselves when our own motivation isn’t enough.
These tricks are especially common among people who feel they must be perfect for everyone else. These people think the world expects them to nail everything, to never say “I can’t.” For them, doing something isn’t about the thing itself — it’s about not letting anyone down. So here’s the real question: Are you doing this because you want to, or because you’re afraid of what happens if you don’t? ____17____
A little trick here and there? No big deal. The trouble starts when you can’t stop. When you care too much about what others think, you reach for these tricks all the time. Over time, they stop being tricks. ____18____ And they become hard to spot — even in yourself.
Think of a kid who keeps playing a sport just to make his parents proud. He might love the game, but that’s not why he’s out there. ____19____ So he stays. But anger builds. He can’t be mad at his parents, so he aims it at the other team. Beating them becomes his proof that he’s good enough. This anger becomes his fuel. But look closer: he’s not playing to win. He’s playing to survive.
____20____ But there’s a difference between using one now and then, and building your whole life on them. So it’s worth asking: Do I want to spend my whole life just getting by?
A. They become who you are.
B. We all need these tricks sometimes.
C. For these people, it’s almost always fear.
D. Quitting would feel like letting them down.
E. They turn into tools you use without thinking.
F. Pushing yourself a little harder is never a bad thing.
G. Athletes find reasons to get fired up against opponents.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. D 20. B
【解析】

【18题详解】
根据前文“Over time, they stop being tricks. (久而久之,这些小手段也就习以为常了。)”以及后文“And they become hard to spot — even in yourself. (这些心思也变得难以察觉,就连我们自己都无法发觉。)”可知,此处说明心理把戏慢慢发生转变,成为自身的一部分,A选项“They become who you are. (它们渐渐变成了你本身的一部分。)”承接语义,体现变化过程,符合语境。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Think of a kid who keeps playing a sport just to make his parents proud. He might love the game, but that’s not why he’s out there. (试想有个孩子坚持参加某项运动,只为让父母感到骄傲。他或许本身也喜欢这项运动,但这并非他坚持下去的原因。)”以及后文“So he stays. (所以他选择继续坚持。)”可知,空格解释孩子不愿放弃的原因,D选项“Quitting would feel like letting them down. (放弃会让他觉得辜负了父母。)”衔接上下文,解释孩子坚持下去的心理,符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据后文“But there’s a difference between using one now and then, and building your whole life on them. (偶尔借助这些想法行事,和整个人生都依附于此,二者有着天壤之别。)”中的But表转折,可知前文先承认这类心理技巧存在一定价值,B选项“We all need these tricks sometimes. (我们有时都需要用到这些小方法。)”引出下文的辩证分析,符合语境。

考查动词时态。句意:列奥纳多·达·芬奇的《蒙娜丽莎》或许是世界上最著名的画作,但这并不意味着到目前为止我们已经解开了它所有的奥秘。根据时间状语by now(到目前为止)可知,句子要用现在完成时,结构为have/has+过去分词,主语为we,助动词用have。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:据科特所说,达·芬奇创作时,《蒙娜丽莎》原本画有眉毛和睫毛,如今看起来和最初的样貌已然不同。此处作后置定语修饰the Mona Lisa,paint与逻辑主语the Mona Lisa之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词painted。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:科特设计了自己的高分辨率相机来近距离研究《蒙娜丽莎》。此处用非谓语动词作状语,结合句意,此处表示设计相机的目的,所以使用动词不定式to study作目的状语。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他在眉毛区域发现了一根发丝,并推断蒙娜丽莎原本有着完整的眉毛。hair此处为可数名词单数,表泛指“一根头发”,single是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【41题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:目前尚不清楚她的眉毛和睫毛为何消失/如何消失的,不过科特认为颜料可能已经磨损,更有可能是在清洁和修复的过程中被意外去除了。此处引导主语从句,it为形式主语,从句中不缺主语和宾语,但句意不完整,结合句意,从句可表达“为何消失”或“如何消失”,因此可用连接词why或how。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:目前尚不清楚她的眉毛和睫毛为何消失/如何消失的,不过科特认为颜料可能已经磨损,更有可能是在清洁和修复的过程中被意外去除了。and连接并列成分,此处与名词cleaning并列,需要使用名词形式,restore对应的名词是restoration,意为“修复”。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:显然,画作中的人物最初腿上盖着一块织物,如今这块织物几乎已经褪色,这或许能解释她独特的手臂姿势。固定搭配present sb. with sth.在此语境下表示“身上带有、配有”,此处用介词with。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:显然,画作中的人物最初腿上盖着一块织物,如今这块织物几乎已经褪色,这或许能解释她独特的手臂姿势。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整句话的内容,关系代词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他还表示,她那著名的笑容原本或许比我们如今看到的浅浅的、神秘的笑容更加舒展、更富有表现力。此处与形容词wider并列作表语,需要使用形容词形式,express对应的形容词是expressive,意为“富有表现力的”。

【答案】Dear William,
I’m Li Hua from Class 3, Grade 2. Having learned that our school podcast, Teen Talk, is collecting topics, I’m writing to recommend one for discussion: how to maintain deep thinking in an era of fragmented information.
Nowadays, we’re constantly flooded with short videos and scattered online content. While convenient to access, they occupy much of our spare time, making it hard to focus on long texts or think deeply and critically. Discussing this topic can help us reflect on our daily habits and develop independent thinking, which is essential for our long-term academic progress and personal growth.
I hope you’ll kindly consider my suggestion. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Tonight,” Grandpa clapped me on the back, “we work, Rahim. We work like men.” Outside stars were beginning to appear. Grandpa climbed on his bicycle. My friend Aslam and I jogged beside him.
A sweet smell rose from Mr. Ahmed’s mango trees as we passed. Aslam slowed his jog, picked a few mangoes, and stuffed them into his pockets. I wished I were as lucky as Aslam with his movie-star hair, always making trouble, never getting caught. I wished I were at home, studying for the coming exam. I wished... But Grandpa was counting on me. We needed the money. He worked hard so I could stay in school.
When we reached the Lawachara National Park, the moon had risen midway into the sky. We entered the shadows of the forest. Aslam feared there might be tigers behind the trees. I told him they were rarely seen there. He then reminded me of our task of catching pangolins (穿山甲), and warned me not to be overly merciful. He still remembered how I’d saved a snake from those boys the week before. My stomach began to turn. I knew what the traders would do with the pangolin if we found one.
“A den (兽穴)is near. Stay and watch. I’m going further on to another.” Grandpa handed Aslam a cardboard box. “Remember, the traders won’t pay for an empty box. They want big pangolins with many scales (鳞). The better the scales, the better the money. I’m counting on you, boys.” Then he walked away.
Aslam asked why people would pay so much for pangolins. I told him they thought the scales were magical and could cure all kinds of diseases. Then he went on with his movie-star dream, promising all our money troubles would end once he made it. We chatted away, watching the moon climbing higher into the sky.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Suddenly we heard a low noise from among the fallen leaves.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: After a while, Grandpa came back and saw the empty box.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly we heard a low noise from among the fallen leaves. Aslam quickly responded, grabbing the box. We leaned forward and looked hard into the darkness — a pangolin! Aslam hissed my name and signaled me to get it. For a while I held my breath, watching the pangolin sweeping dry leaves with its scaled tail. Aslam pressed me on by reminding me of Grandpa’s words about acting like a man. Yet I just couldn’t bring myself to harm the innocent creature. I tried to convince Aslam it was utterly inhuman to earn money by hunting pangolins. Aslam fell silent, staring at the helpless pangolin, and slowly lowered the box.
After a while, Grandpa came back and saw the empty box. He glanced from Aslam to me. His white eyebrows stitched together. Unable to lie to him, I recounted everything in detail. I’d expected a good scolding, but instead I felt Grandpa’s rough hands gently stroking my face. He admitted he never liked the work and had turned to it only to support the family. Then he urged me to stay in school so I’d never have to make a living through something that troubled my conscience. Deeply touched, I promised someday I’d make him proud. The money was gone, but Grandpa’s back no longer looked so “bent” to me.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,讲述作者与朋友Aslam跟随祖父夜间捕猎穿山甲的故事,展现了主人公在面对金钱诱惑与内心良知之间的道德冲突。最终,Rahim选择不伤害无辜的穿山甲,而祖父也理解并支持了他的决定,并鼓励他通过读书改变命运,不必做违背良心的事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“突然,我们听到了从落叶里传来的一阵很低的声音”可知,本段可以写他们发现是一只穿山甲,Aslam示意作者去抓,但是作者却犹豫了,认为自己不能伤害无辜,并且还说服了Aslam,放走了这只穿山甲。
②由第二段首句内容“一会儿,祖父回来,看到空盒子”可知,本段可以写作者向祖父说明了一切,祖父也坦言,他也不愿意伤害动物,一切都是为了养家,并鼓励他通过读书改变命运,不必做违背良心的事。
2.续写线索:听到声音→确定是穿山甲→无法做伤害无辜的事情→说服Aslam→放走了穿山甲→祖父回来,看到空盒→向祖父解释→祖父支持并鼓励。
3.词类激活:
行为类:
①讲述:recount/narrate/describe/relate
②盯着:stare at/fix one’s eyes on
情感类:
①沉默的:silent/dumb
②温柔地:gently/tenderly
【点睛】【高分句型1】
For a while I held my breath, watching the pangolin sweeping dry leaves with its scaled tail.(运用了现在分词作状语)
【高分句型2】
He admitted he never liked the work and had turned to it only to support the family.(运用了省略了that的宾语从句)
