“A hero is any person who is really keen on making the society a better place for all people.” Every time I read the quote, I always have the Australian micro-influencer Tennilles_deals in mind.
Who exactly is Tennilles_deals? Firstly, she’s the Mother Teresa of Aussie supermarkets, committed and self-giving. Secondly, I don’t know anything about her personally because this content creator doesn’t market herself like average influencers. She lets her work speak for itself.
The work in question? She posts weekly uploads of supermarket walk-through videos where she carefully goes through major supermarkets to show what’s on special that week. Her gentle voice and steady hand accompany you through a sea of yellow price tags which signal special promotions or deals. It’s detailed, thoughtful, and necessary work.
Even today, I still remember how I used to eagerly wait for the catalogues (目录) from my favorite supermarkets every Monday. Nothing can outshine the feeling of a hard-to-find European snack or a new washing machine with a 75% discount. For me, browsing (浏览) a supermarket catalogue produces a pleasure: the anticipation of what could soon be yours. But the days of glancing through paper catalogues are over. That’s why Tennilles_deals is so important, giving us tight, three-minute videos that provide us with a 360-degree view of each product: a walking, talking catalogue.
There’s a reason that Tennilles_deals has almost 100,000 followers. What Tennilles_deals is doing is building community. One fan comments that she should have been awarded “the Australian of the Year”, and my only way to give credit to her is via this public essay.
24. What distinguishes Tennilles_deals from typical influencers?
A. Her unique marketing style. B. Her practical video content.
C. Her focus on personal brand. D. Her choice of supermarkets.
25. What is the theme of Tennilles_deals’ videos?
A. The operation of supermarkets. B. The presentation of new products.
C. The display of discounted items. D. The exposure of product packaging.
26. Why does the author value Tennilles_deals’ videos?
A. They teach useful video creating strategies. B. They provide new perspectives on the goods.
C. They replace the need to visit physical stores. D. They bring back the joy of catalogue browsing.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A. To praise Tennilles_deals’ selfless contribution.
B. To vote Tennilles_deals the Australian of the Year.
C. To defend Tennilles_deals against online criticism.
D. To show shift from paper catalogues to digital ones.
C
Currently, most packaging is single-use and is made with plastic materials obtained from nonrenewable resources like fossil oil that take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. On top of this, only 9% of plastic is recycled. This has resulted in the formation of floating piles of plastic garbage in the ocean, called “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch”. Perhaps the biggest contributor to plastic waste, at least in the United States, is plastic bags, the kind found at most stores. These bags, while sometimes recycled, are often only used once and can be found littered throughout the environment.
To address this problem, Srinivas Janaswamy from South Dakota State University is working towards developing a plastic-like bag that will break down in the environment. The key ingredient of Janaswamy’s work? Cellulose (纤维素). It’s a common organic substance on Earth and is found, primarily, in the cell walls of plants. Cellulose gives plants structural strength and firmness thanks to its chemical makeup and long, chain-like form. “By obtaining cellulose from agricultural products, value-added products can be created,” Janaswamy said.
Janaswamy then met Anne Fennell, a leading researcher in the study of grapevines (葡萄藤) which are rich in cellulose. Every year, after the majority of new branches on the vine are cut off, they are either cut into pieces and buried in the soil or burned in some areas. “Since grapevines are plentiful and have insignificant use after harvest, why not use this for value-added films (薄膜)?” Janaswamy thought.
Janaswamy’s idea led to cooperation, and soon he was getting cellulose which looks almost like cotton—from grapevines. Janaswamy’s grapevine films are transparent (透明的) and strong, and break down within 17 days in the soil—leaving behind no harmful remains. “High transparency enhances product visibility and allows a quick check of the quality without even opening the package. These films demonstrate excellent promise for food packaging,” Fennell said.
28. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch” in Paragraph 1?
A. The severe plastic pollution. B. The limits of recycling technology.
C. The improper shopping habits. D. The promise of renewable resources.
29. Why is cellulose essential to Janaswamy’s plastic-like bags?
A. It can be found everywhere. B. It can be recycled from food waste.
C. It helps form strong structures. D. It breaks down into usable materials.
30. What advantage of the grapevine films does Fennell highlight in the last paragraph?
A. Their low expenses. B. Their energy-efficiency.
C. Their easy production. D. Their user-friendliness.
31. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Plastic Pollution in the Pacific Ocean
B. The Treatment of Grapevines After Harvest
C. Cellulose: A Vital Organic Substance in Plant
D. Grapevine Films: Eco-Friendly Plastic Alternative
D
A friend recently sent me a video about running a modern game on an old television by YouTuber Any Austin. I thought it’d be ridiculous. But in the video, after playing for a little bit, Any Austin realized that, once you get used to it, playing a modern game on an old TV just doesn’t feel that different. Sure, there were annoyances—certain things were cropped off the screen—but for the most part, the game was just as fun as on a contemporary one.
The psychological phenomenon, known as hedonic adaptation or hedonic treadmill (享乐跑步机), has been documented since at least the 1970s. The process of hedonic adaptation is conceptualized as a treadmill, since no matter how hard one tries to be happier, one remains in the same place. There may be a sudden, large increase in happiness after a wedding, a promotion at work, or buying a new TV, but that is ephemeral—people tend to eventually return to their previous levels of happiness. The same thing is true about negative life changes.
The hedonic adaptation process generally involves cognitive changes, such as shifting values and goals. It can also be driven by the tendency of humans to construct complex reasoning for considering themselves deprived (被剥削的) through a process social theorist Gregg Easterbrook calls “abundance denial”. Additionally, neurochemical (神经化学的) processes might reduce the activity of overstimulated hedonic pathways in the brain, which prevents constantly high levels of intense positive or negative feelings.
The same psychological principle is at work when you play games on an old TV. Purchasing your dream TV may initially boost your happiness, making games more enjoyable. However, your satisfaction will eventually return to its baseline level. Later, upon learning of a newer model, you may make another purchase to regain that initial boost.
So spending more time thinking about how much you enjoy the things you already have can help sustain satisfaction longer. The key isn’t to avoid technology but to realize how quickly we get used to improvements.
32. What did Any Austin think of playing the game on an old TV?
A. Demanding. B. Pleasant. C. Simple. D. Depressing.
33. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Temporary. B. Predictable. C. Consistent. D. Dominant.
34. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The neurochemical factors in emotion regulation.
B. The different theories proposed by social theorists.
C. The emotional consequences of hedonic treadmill.
D. The underlying mechanisms of hedonic adaptation.
35. What is the author’s suggestion on resisting the desire for new things?
A. Rejecting advanced electronics. B. Purchasing fewer products.
C. Appreciating current possessions. D. Upgrading existing facilities.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Instant noodles, a food that holds unique emotional value for many, have experienced a remarkable transformation in modern diets. Initially created to provide quick meals, they offered an economical, long-lasting solution for times when cooking wasn’t practical. 36 Their core value was to satisfy hunger quickly and cheaply, with taste being a secondary consideration to function and cost.
Today, consumers are paying closer attention to labels and actively seeking cleaner ingredients when making food choices. As a result, traditional instant noodles are increasingly viewed as outdated or even unhealthy. 37 Consumers can choose takeout or ready-to-cook meals, which typically offer a more favorable mix of convenience and nutrition compared to traditional instant noodles.
38 Some brands offer organic, low-additive, or entirely plant-based options, while others focus on eco-friendly packaging. High-end instant noodle lines, often inspired by regional cuisines, are also gaining popularity, turning a basic snack into a dining pleasure.
Despite these improvements, even “healthier” instant noodles still remain nutritionally limited. To enjoy them more mindfully, try boosting their nutritional value by adding fresh vegetables, eggs, or meat, and using only half or less of the seasoning packet (调料包) to reduce salt and additives. 39
In conclusion, the story of instant noodles is one of adaptation as well as a reminder to make thoughtful food choices in our fast-paced lives. 40 As technology advances and consumer expectations rise, the next generation of instant meals will likely be tastier, cleaner, and more sustainable. Yet sometimes all we really need is a warm bowl of comfort—prepared wisely.
A. Several factors have made them less popular lately.
B. Therefore, they were criticized for being unhealthy.
C. In response, demand has moved towards healthier choices.
D. Driven by these trends, the industry is reinventing the product.
E. For decades, instant noodles stood for convenience and affordability.
F. In the future, instant noodles need to balance tradition with innovation.
G. Above all, just save instant noodles for emergencies, not everyday dinners.

阅读下面短文,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。
With the start of new school, freshmen of Hendersonville High School in Nashville were excited to meet new classmates and teachers. However, I was feeling very nervous because my right hand had never fully formed since I was born. Going to a new school and being “different” is always scary. I was particularly concerned about what my classmates would think of me.
My parents had trained me to use my left hand from an early age. As I grew up, I was accustomed to not using my right hand. I could write with my left one and do some things with special tricks or techniques. Despite this, in the first days of new school, I always felt like hiding my underdeveloped right hand in my sleeve (袖子) as if nobody would ever find it out.
It didn’t take long before Jeff Wilkins, the teacher of my engineering class, learned my secret and decided to do something. Jeff had been leading a robotics project in the school and expert in 3D printing technology. Besides, he hoped to take advantage of this hands-on chance to help his robotics students learn more about engineering and how building a robotic hand worked.
So in his class, Jeff announced with great enthusiasm, “You’re supposed to be engineering, coming up with new ideas and solving issues. Now your new classmate needs a new hand so we’ll work together to build a robotic hand.” His words fueled everyone’s curiosity and creativity.
For the next four weeks, Jeff and the whole class including me worked on the project. After some precise measurements and in-depth researches, the class put forward a design draft. Jeff made a few adjustments and gave us some practical suggestions. With access to online models and a 3D printer, we eventually created a robotic hand, which was intended to look good and catch something like a ball.

AI Connects Heritage
Last Friday, our school held a digital cultural experience day titled “AI Connects Heritage” in the school hall. The event showed how AI can help protect traditional culture.
Students took part in two main activities. In one activity, a girl used an AI robot to repair an old damaged document. The AI turned the broken text into clear words. In another activity, a boy used his smartphone to talk with a screen showing Terracotta Warriors. The AI voice made the warriors seem alive.
Both teachers and students found the event very interesting. They said AI makes history more exciting and easier to understand. The event helps us see that new technology can bring old culture closer to young people.
AI Connects Heritage
Last Friday, our school held an innovative digital culture event entitled “AI Connects Heritage” in the science club. The activity aimed to demonstrate how artificial intelligence can bridge the gap between ancient heritage and modern youth.
Two hands-on activities caught everyone’s attention. In the first, a girl with a ponytail (马尾辫) sat before a computer screen. An AI robot beside her helped repair a damaged ancient manuscript: a black arrow pointed from the broken text to a clear, restored version on the right. In the second activity, a boy used his smartphone to interact with a screen displaying two Terracotta Warriors. A voice bubble icon (语音图标) suggested that AI voice technology brought the warriors to life, allowing visitors to “talk” to history.
Both teachers and students spoke highly of the experience. They felt that AI made cultural heritage more accessible and engaging. The event not only sparked interest in technology but also deepened their appreciation for traditional culture. It proved that innovation can serve as a powerful bridge to the past.

读后续写:
Then came the final testing day in the science room. The whole class gathered, watching breathlessly as Jeff carefully loaded the self-made robotic hand onto my right arm. To everyone’s delight, it fitted quite well! So excited was I that my arm trembled slightly. Having put a baseball on the desk, Jeff signed to me to pick it up. Slowly, I extended my right hand and reached for the ball. Successfully I caught hold of it and everyone present broke into cheers! Holding the ball, I couldn’t contain my tears. Never in my wildest dream had I expected to catch something with my right hand!
The life-changing gift for me drew huge media attention. When interviewed about the intention behind the project, Jeff said, “The kids simply wanted to help a classmate in need. Seeing them care for the classmate, learn engineering through this hands-on operation, and transform that care into something real—that’s the true reward.” My classmates added that they had gained not only technical skills but also a deep sense of pride in making a difference for someone they knew. For me, I felt I am no longer “different”. My classmates didn’t just build a hand for me—they made me feel like I belong.

(Text 8) M: Excuse me, my mobile phone has been very slow, and it shuts down suddenly now and then, so I’m interested in a new one.
W: I’d be happy to help you find a new phone. Have you seen the latest smartphones we have on display. We have a few models at excellent prices.
M: I saw those, and I read on your company website that you have some phones for sale at half price.
W: We do have several phones available at half price; they are just basic ones. However, these advanced smartphones are equipped with more powerful batteries and chips, which deliver a far better experience. Here, let me show you how they work.
(Text 9) M: Hello, listeners. Many pet owners wonder what to do when they have to leave their pets alone. So, I’ve connected with Jasmine Monroe, an experienced pet trainer. Let’s hear what she’ll say.
W: Well, if we’re talking about outdoor pets, we should raise their beds in the shelter off the ground to prevent wetness, and make sure it has a door to keep out winter winds and summer heat. Plus, their homes should always have access to drinkable water. As for indoor pets, it’s always preferable to either take them to a pet hotel or ask someone to take care of them.
M: OK. But what if people want to take their pets with them on vacation?
W: I’d say diet matters. Fish bones and chocolate are harmful to their health. So, check that your friends or relatives are not feeding them special treats.
M: Plastic toy parts or Christmas tree decorations are also dangerous, right?
W: Definitely. You might be surprised to hear that many pets have died from eating these items. So you can never be too careful!
(Text 10) W: Good morning, everyone! I’ve been an educator for over a decade. My online teaching journey started when I created a social media channel to teach math two years ago. Every week, I post a video which is about 10 minutes long. The videos are independent lessons with examples and practice problems. To make the content appealing, I use real-world applications to explain abstract concepts. And I guess this approach has been a hit. After all, my channel has grown to over 50,000 followers. However, the path hasn’t been smooth. I initially struggled with video production, such as lighting and sound quality. It took several months of trial and error to reach a professional level. I also had to learn to create interactive content and start a blog on advanced topics and study tips. Despite these challenges, the feedback from students has been rewarding. Many have shared how my videos help them understand concepts they found difficult. I hope my journey can inspire all educators here to explore digital teaching. Thank you for listening.
【B篇语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一名叫做Tennilles_deals的澳大利亚网红博主在网络上分享逛超市的视频,视频中博主无私展示了超市中打折的商品,让观看者得到实惠的帮助,同时也享受观看的快乐。
24. B 推理判断题。根据第二段“…this content creator doesn’t market herself like average influencers. She lets her work speak for itself.”以及第三段“Her gentle voice and steady hand accompany you through a sea of yellow price tags which signal special promotions or deals. It’s detailed, thoughtful, and necessary work.”可知,Tennilles_deals与其他网红博主的不同之处在于,她从不营销自己,反而给观看者提供实用的视频内容。
25. C 细节理解题。根据第三段“She posts weekly uploads of supermarket walk-through videos where she carefully goes through major supermarkets to show what’s on special that week. Her gentle voice and steady hand accompany you through a sea of yellow price tags which signal special promotions or deals. It’s detailed, thoughtful, and necessary work.”可知,Tennilles_deals的视频主题为展示超市打折的商品。
26. D 推理判断题。根据第四段“For me, browsing (浏览) a supermarket catalogue produces a pleasure: the anticipation of what could soon be yours. But the days of glancing through paper catalogues are over.”以及“That’s why Tennilles_deals is so important, giving us tight, three-minute videos that provide us with a 360-degree view of each product: a walking, talking catalogue.”可知“我”之前非常享受看超市的纸质版商品目录,但是后来这种目录没有了,于是观看Tennilles_deals的视频就非常重要,因为这些视频就像行走的、会说话的目录,让“我”重新拥有了之前的快乐。
27. A 文章目的题。通读全文可知,本文前三段介绍了Tennilles_deals这位网红博主的视频内容具有贴心实用的特点,第四段强调了这些视频给“我”提供的情绪价值,最后一段高度认可了该博主的做法,认为她建立了社区感,同时根据文章第二段“Firstly, she’s the Mother Teresa of Aussie supermarkets, dedicated and self-giving.”以及第五段“…and my only way to give credit to her is via this public essay.”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是表扬Tennilles_deals的无私贡献。
【C篇语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究者 Srinivas Janaswamy 如何利用葡萄藤中丰富的纤维素开发一种可降解的塑料替代品,以解决塑料袋造成的环境污染问题。
28. A 推理判断题。根据第一段“Currently, most packaging is single-use… only 9% of plastic is recycled. This has resulted in the formation of floating piles of plastic garbage in the ocean, called ‘the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.’”可知,作者提到“太平洋垃圾带”是为了说明大量一次性塑料包装和极低的回收率导致了严重的塑料污染问题。
29. C 细节理解题。根据第二段“Cellulose gives plants structural strength and firmness thanks to its chemical makeup and long, chain-like form.”可知,纤维素之所以关键,是因为它的化学构成和长链状形式赋予植物结构强度和坚固性,这也有助于形成类似塑料袋那样“强”的结构。
30. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段Fennell所说“High transparency enhances product visibility and allows a quick check of the quality without even opening the package. These films demonstrate excellent promise for food packaging,”可知,Fennell突出强调的是其高透明度带来的方便——不用打开包装就能快速检查食品质量,即对使用者非常友好。
31. D 主旨大意题。通读全文,首段提出塑料污染问题,接着介绍利用纤维素,特别是葡萄藤中的纤维素,制成可降解的“薄膜/塑料袋”,最后强调这种葡萄藤薄膜透明、结实且可在土壤中快速降解,适合做食品包装。文章重点在于介绍一种以葡萄藤纤维素为原料的环保型塑料替代品。
【D篇语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过“用老电视玩现代游戏”的例子,引出心理学中的“享乐适应(享乐跑步机)”概念,说明人们对外部环境的改善会快速习惯,因此快乐的提升是短暂的。无论是好事还是坏事,人都会回到原本的幸福水平。
32. B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“once you get used to it, playing a modern game on an old TV just doesn’t feel that different… the game was just as fun as on a contemporary one”可知,适应之后,Any Austin觉得体验依然令人愉快。因此可以推断他对用旧电视玩游戏的整体感觉是愉快的。
33. A 词义猜测题。根据第二段“…but that is ephemeral — people tend to eventually return to their previous levels of happiness”可知,句中表示的是:幸福感的提升是短暂的,很快会消失,人们很快恢复到以前的幸福水平。因此“ephemeral”的含义应为短暂的、不会持久的。
34. D 段落主旨题。第三段依次提到了享乐适应的多种成因,包括认知变化、人类“丰裕否认”的倾向以及神经化学机制,这些内容都在解释享乐适应的内在机制。
35. C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“So spending more time thinking about how much you enjoy the things you already have can help sustain satisfaction longer”可知,作者建议对抗不断想购买新物品的欲望的方法,是多花时间去欣赏已经拥有的东西,从而延长满足感。
【七选五语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍泡面的历史功能、现代消费者对健康饮食的需求、行业的改良趋势以及如何更健康地享用泡面,总结泡面在消费者需求变化下不断改良,但仍需理性食用。
37. C 本段的逻辑链为:“消费者更注重营养成分 → 传统方便面被视为不健康 → 因此,需求转向更健康的选择 → 比如:外卖和即烹食品,既方便又相对更有营养。” C 项 “In response, demand has moved towards healthier choices.” 能起到承上启下的作用。
39. G 空前句介绍如何更健康食用泡面,如加蔬菜、少用调料包;因此空格处应继续提出饮食建议。选项G“Above all, just save instant noodles for emergencies, not everyday dinners”与上文衔接自然,强调泡面不宜作为日常主食,也符合段首句“泡面在营养上仍然有限” 的段落主旨。
