Sometimes it means helping each other move. And if you’re a superb starling, it means stuffing bugs into the beaks (鸟喙) of your friends’ babies, secure in the expectation that they’ll eventually do the same for yours. Scientists have long known that social animals usually put blood relatives first. But a recent study published in the journal Nature shows that unrelated members of a superb starling flock (群体) often help each other raise chickens, trading assistance to one another over years in a behavior that was not previously known. The study was led by Dustin Rubenstein, a professor of ecology at Columbia University, whose lab has maintained a 20-year field study of the species that included 40 breeding seasons. It has recorded thousands of interactions between hundreds of starlings and collected DNA to examine their genetic relationships. When the team began analyzing the data, they were shocked to see that birds new to the flock took the initiative to babysit those born within it, and vice versa. And the team also found that individual birds that helped nonrelatives one breeding season later had their good deeds repaid, sometimes repeatedly. “To me, that sounds like friendship,” said Dr. Earl, a biologist at Cornell University and an author of the paper. The idea that animals might establish friendships with unrelated individuals generated heated debates among other scientists in the field. However, a growing body of research has led some scientists to accept that long-term reciprocal relationships exist among some animals, for example, whales, bats and elephants. But long-term relationships can be difficult to detect. The team needed 27 seasons’ worth of data to pick up hints (线索) of reciprocity in the starlings. “The study makes a convincing case,” said Jorg Massen, a behavioral ecologist at Utrecht University. “One next step would be to work out how these long-term relationships are maintained day to day,” he said. The behavior of superb starlings also suggests that sustaining reciprocal relationships benefits everybody. “Birds that live in larger groups tend to live longer and reproduce more babies,” Dr. Rubenstein said. In the unpredictable African savanna, it’s all hands on deck to raise young. And the addition of immigrant birds is required to make the groups more resilient. Today, as many experts worry about an epidemic of human loneliness, there could be value in heeding lessons from the superb starling. But maybe don’t offer to stuff bugs down the mouths of your friends’ kids. Luckily, you can always offer to babysit. 4. The new finding of a study is that members of a superb starling flock ________. A. hire new comers to look after chickens B. support family members selflessly C. make trades among themselves D. practice shared parenting 5. What does the word “reciprocal” underlined in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Flexible. B. Interdependent. C. Balanced. D. Trusting. 6. According to scientists not involved in the study, the study ________. A. provides a solution for human emotional issues B. offers evidence of starlings’ large population C. has room for further research D. lacks long-term evidence 7. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush B. A Helping Bird Makes a Lasting Link C. Birds of a feather Flock Together D. Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds C Many years ago, I taught high school biology. The first day, I told my students that they could use their books to take any test that I would give. They were surprised, and most thought that class would be very easy despite my explanations that it would not be. They were surprised again when they found that it was not as easy as they thought. Study is still necessary. In the real world, one can look up a wealth of information, but its validity (可信度) varies. It is the ability to evaluate, test, and reason with that information that is of value. That is what I tried to teach using the basic facts of science as a backdrop for developing a thoughtful approach to understanding scientific problems and other issues. Science is a systematic quest for truth. It strives to search for unbiased facts (客观事实) that can be tested and proved, which are of value to everyone. Of course, one may argue about many things, but the facts behind these debates should hopefully be less arguable. For most scientists, the hope is that their search for truth will ultimately benefit society. For many of us that is enough. We do our work and experimentally test its validity. We may be recognized by our peers, and over time our discoveries may have a positive impact upon society, but is that enough? Should we expect more of ourselves? The pursuit of truth through science has both intrinsic (内在的) and practical value. However, the value of that truth is less impactful if it is not actively shared, Society is experiencing many difficult issues and their solutions require the types of unbiased information that science can provide. Our work is valuable. Its value increases if it is communicated and acted upon. From Galileo to the present, the sharing of scientific information is not without its challenges — it may take enormous efforts in the face of fear and confusion. However, with our increasing reliance on science and technology, a widespread basic understanding of scientific processes is even more necessary. Most people are more than capable of that understanding if given the opportunity. Once that understanding is achieved, this methodology can be applied to most of the problems that we face. On a societal level, supporting an educational system that values the scientific method over memorization benefits everyone. Scientific methodology should not just be the province of scientists. Reason and a search for truth should not be limited to the laboratory. By making the scientific method part of the curriculum as mentoring and listening to one another, we all benefit. 8. What might the author’s students find difficult? A. searching for information in books. B. Thinking with the information at hand. C. Understanding the teacher’s explanation. D. Memorizing biological terms and concepts. 9. The author agrees that ________. A. scientists should increase research results. B. impacts of science on society are debatable. C. science should be made available to everyone. D. settling debates with evidence is in great need. 10. Why does the author mention Galileo in Paragraph 6? A. To imply the value of scientists’ courage. B. To stress the effects of scientific barriers. C. To illustrate the development of science. D. To appreciate scientists’ achievements. 11. What does the author mainly do in this passage? A. Review an experience. B. Clarify a goal. C. Comment on a system. D. Advocate a practice. 二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Reading aloud is an activity we might assume is just for young children who can’t read themselves. However, when my 10-year-old daughter recently asked me to read a book to her one evening, I realised that there is something more to it. She has an audible library packed with books to choose from, and a bookshelf full of her own books. ____12____ She likes the way I do the voices, and we both enjoyed the time bonding and connecting together. Today, in an age of distraction, we might put on an audiobook while walking or running, or to pass the time while driving. In these moments, our attention is split, the honking of horns (汽车喇叭声) interrupting the voices, or a red light, and the frustration we feel during drives. But when we listen to a loved one, it’s not just that we get to hear their voice. ____13____ It is a multi-sensory experience that involves sight, sound, and even touch if we snuggle close together. This allows us to truly rest in the moment. ____14____ You could ask someone to read to you, or take turns. You could start a reading-aloud book group. ____15____ There, they read aloud, offering readers the opportunity to hear the words on the page, exactly as they were intended to sound. One study found that reading aloud for 30 minutes lowered blood pressure, heart rate, and feelings of psychological distress just as effectively as yoga. When we bring back reading as a social activity to share with others, we help to create a community where these benefits can be shared. ____16____ We don’t know exactly where it will take us. When we invite others along, we may find ourselves branching off in different directions, learning more about the world, real or imaginary — and, most magically, about each other. A. But, that night, she chose me. B. Perhaps there are local author events. C. A good book is like setting off on a long journey. D. We see their gestures and facial expressions as well. E. Reading to each other might seem old-fashioned and outdated. F. Our attention is on a single point of focus rather than called in different directions. G. You could share with others a chapter of a book, a poem, or a story from a newspaper supplement. 三、完形填空：本大题共10小题，共15分。 I am travelling around Cyprus, a, Mediterranean (地中海的) country, with my husband John for the very first time. And in this first, ____17____ we’ve ever visited, our waiter, Nikos, looks down at us, amused, smiling, as he takes the order. Slowly our table starts to fill with seafood dishes. Each time Nikos ____18____ us, I will look up and say “ευχαριστω”(thank you). “Why you English always say ‘thank you’?” Nikos asks. “Too much ‘thank you’ and ‘please’,”he takes a deep breath and holds both hands out with palms (手掌心) heavenward, as if waiting for an ____19____. I smile, wanting to share a sincere cultural ____20____，“We think it’s good manners to ____21____ the work you do. It’s a way to show appreciation.” “But it’s my ____22____! Why you keep saying ‘thank you’ and ‘thank you’ all the time? Not necessary!” Nikos shrugs his shoulders. Laughing, I reply, “Well, it’s my first day in Cyprus and I’m certainly understanding a lot more about Cypriot locals.” Obviously, laughing is a clear indication that I’m not taking this matter ____23____ enough! To make me ____24____ of my tendency to be over-polite, Nikos raises his thumb and forefinger and waves in a “tweaking” gesture as if something needs a small adjustment. Then, he looks me firmly in the eye and says, “Agh, don’t worry; here in Cyprus, we will ____25____ a few things with you!” Then, we all burst out laughing! Something as simple as when and where to say “thank you” offers a chance to connect with and understand those of different backgrounds. And that’s what I love so much about traveling. Travels can ____26____ cultures, ultimately leading to peace and better understanding. 17. A. hotel B. museum C. restaurant D. shop 18. A. greets B. treats C. feeds D. serves 19.

One dish that particularly stood out in my studies was Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles, a specialty from Yunnan province. I learned about its history and significance in the classroom, but the pity was that I never had the opportunity to taste it during my student years. However, in 2024, when I traveled to Yunnan, I finally experienced this famous dish firsthand. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Walking into a traditional Yunnan restaurant, I was drawn to the sight of large bowls of steaming hot broth (热汤), trays of fresh ingredients, and the delicate, silky rice noodles. The dish was served in a traditional manner — each component presented separately, allowing me to put together my bowl according to my preference. But I chose to follow the traditional method, adding the raw meat slices, the vegetables, tofu and eggs into the hot broth. Finally, I carefully placed the rice noodles into the bowl. The first bite was an explosion of flavors. The broth, made from slow-simmered (慢炖的) chicken and pork bones, was rich and deeply comforting. The rice noodles were incredibly smooth, almost jellylike, yet with a satisfying chewiness. The combination of fresh ingredients created a balance of textures — tender meat, crisp vegetables, and silky noodles, all coming together harmoniously. What amazed me the most was how familiar the flavors felt. The savory taste of the broth, combined with the fresh herbs and spices, reminded me of certain Nepali dishes. The comforting warmth of the soup brought back memories of home-cooked meals, making the experience even more meaningful. Food is more than just a meal. Trying the dish in Yunnan was an experience that connected me to China’s rich culinary heritage and reaffirmed the deep bond between food and culture. Having studied this dish academically years ago, finally tasting it in its authentic form was a full-circle moment. 37. What was the author’s pity during her student years in China? ______________________________________________________________________________ 38. Why was the author amazed at the flavors? ______________________________________________________________________________ 39. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ➤After putting the ingredients into the bowl according to her own preferences, the author began to enjoy the dish. ______________________________________________________________________________ 40. How do you understand “food is more than just a meal”? (In about 40 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达：本大题共1小题，共20分。 41. 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。某英文报将增设青少年读者专属板块，内设多个助力青少年成长的栏目，现面向全国中学生公开征集栏目建议。请你用英文给该报社投稿，内容包括： 1. 你的建议； 2. 说明理由。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Editor, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 北京市东城区2025-2026学年高二上学期期未统一检测英语试题 一、阅读理解：本大题共11小题，共27.5分。 A One app, every park at your fingertips.

What does the word “reciprocal” underlined in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Flexible. B. Interdependent. C. Balanced. D. Trusting. 6. According to scientists not involved in the study, the study ________. A. provides a solution for human emotional issues B. offers evidence of starlings’ large population C. has room for further research D. lacks long-term evidence 7. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush B. A Helping Bird Makes a Lasting Link C. Birds of a feather Flock Together D. Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家经长期研究发现，无血缘关系的丽椋鸟存在跨年度互惠抚育幼鸟的行为，该研究佐证部分动物存在长期互惠关系，还能为人类应对孤独问题提供借鉴。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But a recent study published in the journal Nature shows that unrelated members of a superb starling flock (群体) often help each other raised chickens, trading assistance to one another over years in a behavior that was not previously known. (但《自然》期刊近期发表的一项研究表明，同一鸟群中无血缘关系的丽椋鸟，常常会互相帮忙抚育幼鸟，这种跨年度的互助交换行为此前从未被发现。)”可知，这项研究的新发现是丽椋鸟群体中无血缘关系的成员会互相帮忙抚育幼鸟，即实行共同养育。故选D。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“And the team also found that individual birds that helped nonrelatives one breeding season later had their good deeds repaid, sometimes repeatedly. (团队还发现，那些在某个繁殖季帮助过无血缘同类的鸟，后续会得到回报，有时这种回报还会多次出现。)”以及所在划线词所在句“However, a growing body of research has led some scientists to accept that long-term reciprocal relationships exist among some animals, for example, whales, bats and elephants. (不过，越来越多的研究让部分科学家开始接受：一些动物种群中确实存在长期的互惠关系，例如鲸、蝙蝠和大象。)”可知，丽椋鸟存在先帮助同类，之后获得回报的互帮互助行为，由此可推断“reciprocal”的含义与“相互付出、有来有往”相关。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段““The study makes a convincing case,” said Jorg Massen, a behavioral ecologist at Utrecht University. “One next step would be to work out how these long-term relationships are maintained day to, day,” he said.(“这项研究给出了令人信服的结论。” 乌得勒支大学行为生态学家Jorg Massen表示，“下一步要做的，是弄清楚这些长期关系如何在日复一日的相处中维系下去。”)”可知，未参与研究的科学家Jorg Massen认可该研究结论，同时指出还需进一步探究丽椋鸟长期互惠关系的日常维系方式，即这项研究还有进一步研究的空间。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“But a recent study published in the journal Nature shows that unrelated members of a superb starling flock(群体)often help each other raised chickens, trading assistance to one another over years in a behavior that was not previously known.(但《自然》期刊近期发表的一项研究表明，同一鸟群中无血缘关系的丽椋鸟，常常会互相帮忙抚育幼鸟，这种跨年度的互助交换行为此前从未被发现。)”以及倒数第二段“The behavior of superb starlings also suggests that sustaining reciprocal relationships benefits everybody.(丽椋鸟的这种行为还表明，维系互惠关系对所有个体都有益处。)”并结合全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究发现：丽椋鸟群体中无血缘关系的成员会互相抚育幼鸟，形成长期互惠的互助关系，而且维系互惠关系对所有个体都有益处。选项B“A Helping Bird Makes a Lasting Link(互帮互助的鸟儿铸就持久的联结)”精准对应丽椋鸟互相抚育、互惠共赢的核心行为，契合主旨。故选B。 C Many years ago, I taught high school biology.

It is the ability to evaluate, test, and reason with that information that is of value.(在现实世界中，人们可以查阅大量信息，但这些信息的可信度参差不齐。有价值的是评估、检验和推理这些信息的能力。)”可知，考试允许看书但并不简单，难点在于运用信息进行思考推理。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“However, with our increasing reliance on science and technology, a widespread basic understanding of scientific processes is even more necessary. Most people are more than capable of that understanding if given the opportunity.(然而，随着我们对科技的依赖程度不断提高，让大众对科学过程有基本的了解变得尤为必要。只要有机会，大多数人完全有能力做到这一点。)”可知，作者认同科学应该让所有人都能接触和理解。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“From Galileo to the present, the sharing of scientific information is not without its challenges — it may take enormous efforts in the face of fear and confusion.(从伽利略时代到现在，科学信息的传播并非毫无挑战 —— 面对恐惧和困惑，往往需要付出巨大的努力。)”可知，伽利略所处的时代传播科学信息需要冲破阻碍、付出勇气，作者提及他是为了暗含科学家传播科学所需要的勇气的价值。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“On a societal level, supporting an educational system that values the scientific method over memorization benefits everyone. Scientific methodology should not just be the province of scientists. Reason and a search for truth should not be limited to the laboratory. By making the scientific method part of the curriculum as mentoring and listening to one another, we all benefit.(在社会层面上，支持一套重视科学方法而非死记硬背的教育体系，能让所有人受益。科学方法论不应只是科学家的专属领域，理性思维与对真理的探求也不应局限于实验室之内。通过将科学方法融入课程 —— 同时倡导相互指导、彼此倾听 —— 我们终将共同获益。)”以及上文可知，作者主要是在倡导重视科学方法的教育实践。故选D项。 二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Reading aloud is an activity we might assume is just for young children who can’t read themselves. However, when my 10-year-old daughter recently asked me to read a book to her one evening, I realised that there is something more to it. She has an audible library packed with books to choose from, and a bookshelf full of her own books. ____12____ She likes the way I do the voices, and we both enjoyed the time bonding and connecting together. Today, in an age of distraction, we might put on an audiobook while walking or running, or to pass the time while driving. In these moments, our attention is split, the honking of horns (汽车喇叭声) interrupting the voices, or a red light, and the frustration we feel during drives. But when we listen to a loved one, it’s not just that we get to hear their voice. ____13____ It is a multi-sensory experience that involves sight, sound, and even touch if we snuggle close together. This allows us to truly rest in the moment. ____14____ You could ask someone to read to you, or take turns. You could start a reading-aloud book group. ____15____ There, they read aloud, offering readers the opportunity to hear the words on the page, exactly as they were intended to sound. One study found that reading aloud for 30 minutes lowered blood pressure, heart rate, and feelings of psychological distress just as effectively as yoga. When we bring back reading as a social activity to share with others, we help to create a community where these benefits can be shared. ____16____ We don’t know exactly where it will take us. When we invite others along, we may find ourselves branching off in different directions, learning more about the world, real or imaginary — and, most magically, about each other. A. But, that night, she chose me. B. Perhaps there are local author events. C. A good book is like setting off on a long journey. D. We see their gestures and facial expressions as well. E. Reading to each other might seem old-fashioned and outdated. F. Our attention is on a single point of focus rather than called in different directions. G. You could share with others a chapter of a book, a poem, or a story from a newspaper supplement. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. F 15. B 16. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章以作者给10岁女儿朗读的经历为切入点，打破了“大声朗读只适合不识字幼儿”的固有认知，阐述了大声朗读能增进亲子联结、让人专注当下的独特价值，还介绍了开展朗读活动的多种方式及朗读的健康益处。 【12题详解】 上文“She has an audible library packed with books to choose from, and a bookshelf full of her own books. (她有一个有声图书馆，里面有很多书可供选择，还有一个摆满自己藏书的书架。)”说明女儿有很多自主阅读或听书的途径，下文“She likes the way I do the voices, and we both enjoyed the time bonding and connecting together. (她喜欢我模仿书中角色说话的样子，我们都很享受这段亲密联结的时光。)”表明女儿当晚选择了让作者为她朗读。A项 “但那天晚上，她选择了我” 承上启下，通过“但”形成转折，既呼应上文女儿拥有多种阅读渠道的内容，又自然引出下文母女二人朗读互动的温馨场景，逻辑连贯。故选A。 【13题详解】 上文“But when we listen to a loved one, it’s not just that we get to hear their voice. (但当我们听自己爱的人朗读时，感受到的不仅仅是他们的声音。)”强调听亲人朗读的体验不止于听觉，下文“It is a multi-sensory experience that involves sight, sound, and even touch if we snuggle close together. (这是一种多感官的体验，包含视觉、听觉，若是依偎在一起，甚至还能有触觉的参与。)”具体说明这种多感官体验的构成。D项 “我们还能看到他们的手势和面部表情” 承上启下，承接上文“不止于听觉”的表述，补充了视觉层面的体验，同时为下文“多感官体验”的总结做铺垫，符合语境。故选D。 【14题详解】 上文“This allows us to truly rest in the moment. (这能让我们真正沉浸在当下的时光里。)”点明听亲人朗读能让人专注当下，前文“Today, in an age of distraction, we might put on an audiobook while walking or running, or to pass the time while driving. In these moments, our attention is split, the honking of horns (汽车喇叭声) interrupting the voices, or a red light, and the frustration we feel during drives. (如今，在这个容易分心的时代，我们可能会在散步或跑步时听有声书，在开车时用来打发时间。在这些时刻，我们的注意力被分散了，汽车喇叭声打断了声音，或是遇到红灯，还有开车时产生的那种恼怒情绪。)”还将这种专注的体验与听有声书时注意力被外界干扰的状态进行对比。F项“我们的注意力会聚焦于一处，而非被分散到不同方向”承接上文，进一步解释“沉浸在当下”的具体表现，与前文听有声书时“注意力被分散”的状态形成鲜明对比，凸显出亲人朗读带来的专注价值，逻辑通顺。故选F。 【15题详解】 上文“You could ask someone to read to you, or take turns. You could start a reading-aloud book group. (你可以请别人为你朗读，或是互相轮流朗读。你可以组建一个朗读读书小组。)”列举了开展朗读活动的几种方式，下文“There, they read aloud, offering readers the opportunity to hear the words on the page, exactly as they were intended to sound. (在那里，人们会大声朗读，让听众有机会听到书页上的文字被赋予本应有的语调。)”介绍了某个场所的朗读活动。B项 “或许当地会有作家活动” 承上启下，“或许”体现了与前文并列的另一种可能性，补充了朗读活动的形式，同时“当地作家朗读活动”对应下文的“there”，为下文介绍该活动的价值做铺垫，符合段落逻辑。故选B。 【16题详解】 下文“We don’t know exactly where it will take us. When we invite others along, we may find ourselves branching off in different directions, learning more about the world, real or imaginary — and, most magically, about each other. (我们无法确切知道它会带我们去往何方。当我们邀请他人一同参与时，我们可能会发现自己走向不同的方向，去了解更多关于这个真实或虚幻的世界的事——而最奇妙的是，我们也会因此更了解彼此。)”将朗读比作一场未知的旅程。C项“一本好书就像开启了一场漫长的旅行”引领下文，以比喻的手法引出下文的内容，“漫长的旅行”与下文“带我们去往何方”“走向不同的方向”相呼应，升华了朗读的意义，贴合主旨。故选C。 三、完形填空：本大题共10小题，共15分。 I am travelling around Cyprus, a, Mediterranean (地中海的) country, with my husband John for the very first time.

One dish that particularly stood out in my studies was Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles, a specialty from Yunnan province. I learned about its history and significance in the classroom, but the pity was that I never had the opportunity to taste it during my student years. However, in 2024, when I traveled to Yunnan, I finally experienced this famous dish firsthand. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Walking into a traditional Yunnan restaurant, I was drawn to the sight of large bowls of steaming hot broth (热汤), trays of fresh ingredients, and the delicate, silky rice noodles. The dish was served in a traditional manner — each component presented separately, allowing me to put together my bowl according to my preference. But I chose to follow the traditional method, adding the raw meat slices, the vegetables, tofu and eggs into the hot broth. Finally, I carefully placed the rice noodles into the bowl. The first bite was an explosion of flavors. The broth, made from slow-simmered (慢炖的) chicken and pork bones, was rich and deeply comforting. The rice noodles were incredibly smooth, almost jellylike, yet with a satisfying chewiness. The combination of fresh ingredients created a balance of textures — tender meat, crisp vegetables, and silky noodles, all coming together harmoniously. What amazed me the most was how familiar the flavors felt. The savory taste of the broth, combined with the fresh herbs and spices, reminded me of certain Nepali dishes. The comforting warmth of the soup brought back memories of home-cooked meals, making the experience even more meaningful. Food is more than just a meal. Trying the dish in Yunnan was an experience that connected me to China’s rich culinary heritage and reaffirmed the deep bond between food and culture. Having studied this dish academically years ago, finally tasting it in its authentic form was a full-circle moment. 37. What was the author’s pity during her student years in China? ______________________________________________________________________________ 38. Why was the author amazed at the flavors? ______________________________________________________________________________ 39. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ➤After putting the ingredients into the bowl according to her own preferences, the author began to enjoy the dish. ______________________________________________________________________________ 40. How do you understand “food is more than just a meal”? (In about 40 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】37. The author’s pity was that she never had the opportunity to taste Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles during her student years. 38. Because the flavors were familiar. /Because the flavors reminded the author of certain Nepali dishes. 39. After putting the ingredients into the bowl according to her own preferences, the author began to enjoy the dish. The author put the ingredients into the bowl by following the traditional method. 40. Food is far more than a simple means to satisfy one’s hunger. It serves as a powerful medium that encapsulates culture, traditions, and memories. Just like in the author’s case, it can bridge different heritages, creating deep emotional connections and meaningful experiences. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为留学生曾在课堂了解云南过桥米线，2024年赴云南旅行时亲身品尝到这道美食，感受其风味并感悟美食与文化关联的经历。 【37题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“One dish that particularly stood out in my studies was Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles, a specialty from Yunnan province. I learned about its history and significance in the classroom, but the pity was that I never had the opportunity to taste it during my student years.(在我研习过的众多菜品中，云南特色美食过桥米线格外令人印象深刻。我曾在课堂上学过它的历史渊源与文化意义，遗憾的是，留学生活期间我始终没能亲口品尝这道美食。)”可知，作者是留学生的时候的遗憾是从未亲口品尝过过桥米线。故答案为The author’s pity was that she never had the opportunity to taste Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles during her student years. 【38题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“What amazed me the most was how familiar the flavors felt. The savory taste of the broth, combined with the fresh herbs and spices, reminded me of certain Nepali dishes. The comforting warmth of the soup brought back memories of home-cooked meals, making the experience even more meaningful.(最让我惊喜的是，这味道竟莫名有些熟悉。高汤的鲜香，混合着鲜香草料的芬芳，让我想起了尼泊尔的几道家常菜。热汤带来的温暖慰藉，勾起了我对家乡家常菜的回忆，也让这次美食体验更添一份深意。)”可知，作者对这道米线的味道感到惊讶，是因为它的风味给人一种熟悉感——高汤的鲜香搭配鲜香草料，让作者想起了尼泊尔的一些菜肴，而且热汤的温暖还勾起了他对家乡家常菜的回忆。故答案为Because the flavors were familiar. /Because the flavors reminded the author of certain Nepali dishes. 【39题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第三段“The dish was served in a traditional manner—each component presented separately, allowing me to put together my bowl according to my preference. But I chose to follow the traditional method, adding the raw meat slices, the vegetables, tofu and eggs into the hot broth.(这道菜的吃法十分传统——所有食材都是分开上桌的，食客可以根据自己的喜好自由搭配。但我选择遵循传统步骤：先将生肉片、蔬菜、豆腐和鸡蛋依次下入滚烫的高汤中。)”可知，尽管食客可以按自己的喜好搭配食材，但作者并没有这样做，而是选择遵循传统方法来调配这碗过桥米线。因此原句中的“according to her own preferences”是错误的。故答案为After putting the ingredients into the bowl according to her own preferences, the author began to enjoy the dish. The author put the ingredients into the bowl by following the traditional method. 【40题详解】 本题为开放题，要求考生谈谈对“食物远不止是一顿饭那么简单”这句话的理解，考生言之有理即可。结合最后一段“Food is more than just a meal. Trying the dish in Yunnan was an experience that connected me to China’s rich culinary heritage and reaffirmed the deep bond between food and culture. Having studied this dish academically years ago, finally tasting it in its authentic form was a full-circle moment.(食物不仅仅是一顿饭。在云南品尝这道菜的经历使我与中国丰富的烹饪传统联系在一起，并重申了食物与文化之间的深厚联系。多年前我就在学术上研究过这道菜，最终品尝到正宗的这道菜是一个完整的循环。)”可知，食物远不止是满足饥饿感的一种简单手段。它是一种强大的媒介，承载着文化、传统和记忆。就像作者的情况一样，食物能够连接不同的文化传统，建立深厚的情感联系并带来有意义的体验。故答案为Food is far more than a simple means to satisfy one’s hunger. It serves as a powerful medium that encapsulates culture, traditions, and memories. Just like in the author’s case, it can bridge different heritages, creating deep emotional connections and meaningful experiences. 六、书面表达：本大题共1小题，共20分。 41. 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。某英文报将增设青少年读者专属板块，内设多个助力青少年成长的栏目，现面向全国中学生公开征集栏目建议。请你用英文给该报社投稿，内容包括： 1. 你的建议； 2. 说明理由。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Editor, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】A possible version: Dear Editor, I’m thrilled to hear about the upcoming edition for teenagers!
