In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
4. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents.
C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters.
5. Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay?
A. They were not given enough time. B. They had a very limited vocabulary.
C. They misunderstood the question. D. They had little interest in the topic.
6. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Mixed. B. Amazing. C. Similar. D. Disturbing.
7. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep.
C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect.
C
Just over half (51%) of published novelists in the UK say that artificial intelligence (AI) is likely to entirely replace their work, a new University of Cambridge study has found. 59% of novelists say they know their work has been used to train AI Large Language Models (LLMs) without permission or payment. Most (85%) novelists expect their future income to be driven down by AI.
The study, led by Dr. Clementine Collett, surveyed 258 novelists to estimate how AI is viewed and used in the world of British fiction. Genre authors are considered to be the most easily replaceable, according to the report, with 66% of all those surveyed listing romance authors as “extremely threatened”, followed closely by writers of thrillers (61%) and crime (60%).
Despite these concerns, overall attitude in UK fiction is not anti-AI, with 80% of participants in the survey agreeing that AI offers benefits to parts of society. In fact, most novelists use AI in their writing process, mainly for “non-creative” tasks such as information search.
Novelists feel copyright (版权) laws have not been respected since the emergence of generative AI. They call for respecting copyright and fair payment for the use of their work. Many warn of a potential loss of originality in fiction, as well as the loss of trust between writers and readers if AI use is not public. Some worry that suspicions of AI use could damage their reputation.
Writers fear AI may weaken the deep human connection between writers and readers at a time when reading is already at historically low levels, particularly among the next generation; only a third of UK children say they enjoy reading in their free time. Many novelists think AI could lead to plain, more formulaic fiction that increases stereotypes (刻板印象) and they want to see more AI-free creative writing on the school curriculum and government-backed initiatives aimed at finding new voices to counter risks of homogeneity in fiction brought about by generative AI.
8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. Novelists’ income has stopped growing. B. Novelists fear AI may change their work.
C. AI brings unexpected benefits to novelists. D. Novelists actively resist the application of AI.
9. What is the majority view on AI in UK fiction?
A. It can improve creativity capability. B. It will replace traditional search tools.
C. It has no practical value for society. D. It serves as an aid in the writing process.
10. What is the novelists’ opinion regarding their work being used to train AI?
A. It should be prohibited completely. B. AI’s learning mode should be enhanced.
C. It should respect their rights and interests. D. Gaining high fees is their top demand.
11. What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Similarity. B. Contradiction. C. Competition. D. Misunderstanding.
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 silly. But 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 (被剥夺的) 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.
12. What did Any Austin think of playing the game on an old TV?
A. Pleasant. B. Demanding. C. Simple. D. Depressing.
13. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Consistent. B. Temporary. C. Predictable. D. Dominant.
14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The neurochemical factors in emotion regulation.
B. The different theories proposed by social theorists.
C. The emotional consequence of hedonic treadmill.
D. The underlying mechanism of hedonic adaptation.
15. 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.

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。
I had been a cycling enthusiast for over twenty-five years. Riding beside my friend Jake along wooded paths was my favorite way to relax, stay fit, and connect with nature. In my fifties, I still felt strong, grateful, and alive whenever I rode.
One perfect morning, Jake and I went to explore a newly reopened trail (小路). The forest was peaceful and alive. Birds were singing, and sunlight filtered through the leaves. Squirrels dashed up tree trunks and disappeared into the branches. We chatted and laughed, letting the wind freely brush our faces. Suddenly, as we passed a broken construction barrier, a long yellow caution tape wrapped around my bike pedal. I lost control and fell heavily to the ground. Jake rushed to my side at once, his face filled with worry.
At the hospital, I had multiple fractures (骨折) in my wrist and elbow, a badly torn shoulder, and a sprained ankle. I would need several surgeries and months of strict recovery training. My cycling life, which I loved deeply, seemed to be over completely. I sank into darkness. I became angry, bitter, and hopeless. I refused to talk or eat, shutting out even my wife Molly. Jake visited, bringing photos of our old rides and begging me to stay positive. But I pushed everyone away, trapped in self-pity.
Weeks later, doctors told me my shoulder needed another high-risk operation. The pain, fear, and endless waiting almost broke me. One afternoon, I sat by the window, staring blankly at the yard.
Molly sat beside my bed, holding my hand firmly. “Honey, the wind in riding is just like trouble in life,” she said gently. “You can’t stop it, but you can learn to adjust.” Her words found an echo (回响) in my heart. Wind, I realized, is part of life’s journey. I recalled how I used to hate pedaling on windy days, but finally grew stronger by facing them.
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。
A new light of hope lighting up my heart, I chose to rise again into the wind.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Months later, the familiar trail lay ahead of Jake and me.

In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human.

C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师,通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. (去年,在我九年级的写作课上,我结识了一位拯救了自己小镇的牛仔、一位要求儿子门门功课全得A的严厉父亲,还有一位现代版的朱丽叶——她在父母拒绝其年少挚爱后心碎而逝。不止一次,我暗自琢磨,这些塑造了这些人物的学生,究竟是如何如此深谙他们笔下的角色的)”可知,这里提到的牛仔、严厉的父亲和现代版的朱丽叶都是学生在写作中创造出来的虚构人物。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. (大多数文章篇幅不足一页,几乎没有包含可被视为论点的句子。我感到震惊。随后我意识到问题出在题目本身。他们本可以就电脑的必要性写下数页内容,但写作本身根本没让他们觉得重要)”可推知,学生们在写第一篇作文时表现不佳,是因为他们对写作这个话题本身不感兴趣。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中划线词下文“The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. (学生们选取了多样的主题,交上来的故事每篇都有10到20页长,其中的人物拓宽了我的视野,也触动了我的心)”可推知,此处指学生们写出了内容丰富、打动人心的故事,与之前的表现形成强烈对比。划线词“staggering”意为“令人惊叹的、惊人的”,与B选项“Amazing (惊人的)”语义一致。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,再根据文章最后一段中“I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. (我走进教室时坚信写作作为一种交流方式至关重要。然而,学生们向我展示了更为重要的东西。当六月的下课铃响起时,我带着一本满是留言的年鉴离开——这些留言诉说着写作最强大的意义:它能连接人与人,让我们换位思考,教会我们身为人类的真谛)”结合全文内容可知,文章通过作者的教学经历,说明她在教导学生的同时,自己也领悟到写作的真正意义,这一过程体现了“教学相长”的理念。选项A“Teaching is learning (教学相长)”符合文中描述的作者通过教学获得的新认识。故选A。
C

9. What is the majority view on AI in UK fiction?
A. It can improve creativity capability. B. It will replace traditional search tools.
C. It has no practical value for society. D. It serves as an aid in the writing process.
10. What is the novelists’ opinion regarding their work being used to train AI?

【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍剑桥大学研究发现英国小说家担忧人工智能取代工作、压低收入,同时业内不反对AI,作家呼吁版权保护并担忧小说同质化等问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Just over half (51%) of published novelists in the UK say that artificial intelligence (AI) is likely to entirely replace their work, a new University of Cambridge study has found. 59% of novelists say they know their work has been used to train AI Large Language Models (LLMs) without permission or payment. Most (85%) novelists expect their future income to be driven down by AI.(剑桥大学一项新研究发现,略超半数(51%)的英国已出版作品的小说家表示,人工智能可能会彻底取代他们的工作。59%的小说家称,自己的作品在未经许可、未获报酬的情况下被用于训练人工智能大语言模型。大多数(85%)小说家预计自己未来的收入会因人工智能而下降)”可知,第一段主要指出英国小说家担忧人工智能会取代其工作、影响收入,害怕人工智能改变他们的工作现状。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Despite these concerns, overall attitude in UK fiction is not anti-AI, with 80% of participants in the survey agreeing that AI offers benefits to parts of society. In fact, most novelists use AI in their writing process, mainly for “non-creative” tasks such as information search.(尽管存在这些担忧,英国小说界的整体态度并非反对人工智能,80%的受访者认可人工智能能为社会部分领域带来益处。事实上,大多数小说家会在写作过程中使用人工智能,主要用于信息检索等“非创造性”工作)”可知,英国小说界多数人认为人工智能有益处,可辅助作家完成写作中的基础工作,充当写作辅助工具。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Novelists feel copyright (版权) laws have not been respected since the emergence of generative AI. They call for respecting copyright and fair payment for the use of their work.(自生成式人工智能问世以来,小说家们认为版权法没有得到尊重。他们呼吁尊重版权,并为其作品的使用支付合理报酬)”可知,小说家认为人工智能使用其作品训练模型时,应当尊重他们的版权与合法权益。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Many novelists think AI could lead to plain, more formulaic fiction that increases stereotypes (刻板印象) and they want to see more AI-free creative writing on the school curriculum and government-backed initiatives aimed at finding new voices to counter risks of homogeneity in fiction brought about by generative AI.(许多小说家认为,人工智能可能导致创作更加平庸、模式化的小说,从而加剧刻板印象。他们希望在课程中增加更多不依赖人工智能的创意写作,并推动政府支持的项目,以发掘新的声音,应对生成式人工智能带来的小说homogeneity风险)”可知,AI会让小说套路化、风格趋同,因此专家希望学校课程增设无人工智能参与的创意写作课程,政府推出相关扶持项目挖掘全新创作视角,以此应对生成式人工智能带来的小说同质化风险。由此猜测homogeneity表示“相似性、同质化”,与Similarity意思接近。

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 silly. But 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 (被剥夺的) 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.
12. What did Any Austin think of playing the game on an old TV?
A. Pleasant. B. Demanding. C. Simple. D. Depressing.
13. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Consistent. B. Temporary. C. Predictable. D. Dominant.
14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The neurochemical factors in emotion regulation.
B. The different theories proposed by social theorists.
C. The emotional consequence of hedonic treadmill.
D. The underlying mechanism of hedonic adaptation.
15. 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.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要论述了“享乐适应”现象并建议通过珍惜现有物品来维持满足感。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But 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.(但体验片刻后,Any Austin发现,一旦适应之后,在老式电视上玩现代游戏,其实并没有太大差别。诚然,体验中存在一些不便 —— 屏幕会裁剪掉部分画面,但总体而言,游戏乐趣和在新式电视上别无二致。)”可知,Any Austin认为在旧电视上玩游戏是愉快的。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“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.(在婚礼、工作升职或购买新电视后,幸福感可能会突然大幅增加,但这是ephemeral——人们最终往往会回到之前的幸福水平。)”可知,在婚礼、工作升职或购买新电视后,幸福感可能会突然大幅增加,但这种幸福感是短暂的,人们最终往往会回到之前的幸福水平。由此可知,ephemeral意为“短暂的”。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“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 (被剥夺的) 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.(享乐适应过程通常涉及认知变化,如价值观和目标的转变。它也可能是由人类倾向于通过社会理论家格雷格·伊斯特布鲁克所说的“丰盈否定”过程来构建复杂的推理,认为自己被剥夺了。此外,神经化学过程可能会减少大脑中过度刺激的享乐途径的活动,从而防止持续高水平的强烈积极或消极情绪。)”可知,第三段主要讲了享乐适应的潜在机制。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.(因此,多用心感受、珍惜当下所拥有的事物,能让满足感延续得更久。关键不在于抗拒科技,而是要认清:我们对生活中的升级与改善,适应速度远比想象中更快。)”可知,作者建议通过欣赏现有物品来抵制对新事物的渴望。

Secrets for shopping healthier at the supermarket
Shopping at the supermarket for groceries can be an adventure tour, for food producers don’t always have your best interests in mind. ____16____.
Look for a short ingredient list
When you find a packaged food with a long list of ingredients on the label, don’t put it straight into your shopping bag. ____17____. The truth is, many of those ingredients are various kinds of sugars and chemicals. Check the list of ingredients every time, because a shorter ingredient list equals fewer added sugars and preservatives (防腐剂).
____18____.
The organic label is earned through an officially approved process. All organic farms must keep records and be inspected by officially recognized inspectors. Many supermarkets now carry some organic food, and farmers’ markets, health food stores, and individual farms are good sources of organic food.
Be cautious of “natural” labels
You may feel like the food labels “natural” and “organic” can be exchanged. ____19____. Although there’s no single set of requirements for products claiming to be natural, such labels are still supposed to be accurate. Farmers or food companies that use the “natural” label are not forced to be inspected as a condition of using the label.
Don’t get trapped by watery foods
____20____. And if it’s first on the list of ingredients, it’s clear that there’s a long list of additives (添加剂) to follow. You might not be surprised to see water at the top of the list of ingredients in soups. After all, soup does take a lot of water.
A. Learn what “organic” really means.
B. Purchase the food with “organic” labels.
C. Instead, look for a simpler kind of the food.
D. Water is cheap, so the food industry favors it.
E. Water is the magic ingredient in prepared foods.
F. That’s exactly what food companies want you to think.
G. Arm yourself with the following tips the next time you head to the supermarket.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. F 20. E
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了在超市购物时如何选择更健康的食品,提供了几条实用的建议。
【16题详解】
前文“Shopping at the supermarket for groceries can be an adventure tour, for food producers don’t always have your best interests in mind. (在超市购买食品可能是一次冒险之旅,因为食品生产商并不总是把消费者的最佳利益放在心上。)”指出了购物时可能存在的问题。G选项“Arm yourself with the following tips the next time you head to the supermarket. (下次去超市时,用以下建议武装自己。)”引出下文具体的购物建议,起到了承上启下的作用,符合语境。
【17题详解】
前文“When you find a packaged food with a long list of ingredients on the label, don’t put it straight into your shopping bag.(当你发现一种包装食品的标签上有长长的配料表时,不要直接把它放进购物袋。)”表明,消费者不应立即购买配料表过长的食品。C选项“Instead, look for a simpler kind of the food. (相反,应该寻找配料更简单的食品。)”与上文形成转折关系,给出了正确的购物建议,即选择配料表更短、更简单的食品。
【18题详解】
设空处为本部分小标题,应概括这部分的核心内容。下文“The organic label is earned through an officially approved process. All organic farms must keep records and be inspected by officially recognized inspectors. (有机标签通过官方认可的流程获得。所有有机农场都必须保持记录并接受官方认可的检查员的检查。)”详细解释了“有机”标签的含义和获得条件。A选项“Learn what “organic” really means. (了解“有机”的真正含义。)”概括了本段的核心内容,作为小标题引出下文对“有机”标签的解释,符合文章结构。
【19题详解】
前文“You may feel like the food labels “natural” and “organic” can be exchanged. (你可能会觉得“天然”和“有机”这两个食品标签可以互换使用。)”指出消费者可能存在的错误认知。F选项“That’s exactly what food companies want you to think. (这恰恰是食品公司希望你这么认为的。)”解释了这种错误认知产生的原因,是食品公司有意引导。后文“Farmers or food companies that use the “natural” label are not forced to be inspected as a condition of using the label. (使用“天然”标识的农户与食品企业,无需以接受合规检查作为使用该标签的前提条件。)”接着说明“天然”标签并不等同于“有机”标签,也没有强制检查要求。F选项能承上启下,符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据本部分标题“Don’t get trapped by watery foods (不要被含水量高的食物所迷惑)”可知,本部分会谈到“水”。后文“And if it’s first on the list of ingredients, it’s clear that there’s a long list of additives to follow. (如果水在配料表中排在第一位,那么显然后面还会有一长串添加剂。)”表明水在加工食品中常被大量使用,句中it应指代前文中提到的关键名词water。E选项“Water is the magic ingredient in prepared foods. (水是加工食品中的神奇成分。)”出现了后文it所指代的对象water,又概括了本段的主题,即水在加工食品中的特殊地位,引起后文进一步解释水为什么被食品工业青睐以及它带来的问题,符合段落逻辑。

I had been a cycling enthusiast for over twenty-five years. Riding beside my friend Jake along wooded paths was my favorite way to relax, stay fit, and connect with nature. In my fifties, I still felt strong, grateful, and alive whenever I rode.
One perfect morning, Jake and I went to explore a newly reopened trail (小路). The forest was peaceful and alive. Birds were singing, and sunlight filtered through the leaves. Squirrels dashed up tree trunks and disappeared into the branches. We chatted and laughed, letting the wind freely brush our faces. Suddenly, as we passed a broken construction barrier, a long yellow caution tape wrapped around my bike pedal. I lost control and fell heavily to the ground. Jake rushed to my side at once, his face filled with worry.
At the hospital, I had multiple fractures (骨折) in my wrist and elbow, a badly torn shoulder, and a sprained ankle. I would need several surgeries and months of strict recovery training. My cycling life, which I loved deeply, seemed to be over completely. I sank into darkness. I became angry, bitter, and hopeless. I refused to talk or eat, shutting out even my wife Molly. Jake visited, bringing photos of our old rides and begging me to stay positive. But I pushed everyone away, trapped in self-pity.
Weeks later, doctors told me my shoulder needed another high-risk operation. The pain, fear, and endless waiting almost broke me. One afternoon, I sat by the window, staring blankly at the yard.
Molly sat beside my bed, holding my hand firmly. “Honey, the wind in riding is just like trouble in life,” she said gently. “You can’t stop it, but you can learn to adjust.” Her words found an echo (回响) in my heart. Wind, I realized, is part of life’s journey. I recalled how I used to hate pedaling on windy days, but finally grew stronger by facing them.

【答案】(one possible version)
A new light of hope lighting up my heart, I chose to rise again into the wind. I embraced recovery training with unwavering perseverance, enduring acute pain with every movement. When my rigid wrist resisted bending, I persisted firmly, imagining grasping my bike handle tightly; when my shoulder ached, the memories of forest breezes strengthened my resolve. Molly stood by me, whispering encouraging words, while Jake brought photos of trails, fueling my longing for nature. Their support and my persistence pushed me closer to the trail.
Months later, the familiar trail lay ahead of Jake and me. Bathed in morning sunlight, it held no fear, only promise. I mounted my bike slowly, fingers curling around the handlebars like greeting an old friend. Jake kept a slow pace beside me, cheering me on with warm smiles all the way. As I pedaled softly, the faint ache faded, replaced by joy that brought tears. The ride eased my heart, serving as a reminder that life’s harsh winds hadn’t broken me — they’d reshaped me into a stronger, braver soul who could ride through any storm.
