阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Asian cooking and European cooking have developed different styles, but both offer rich flavors and unique cooking traditions.
Basic Features
Asian cooking often uses rice, noodles, fresh vegetables along with ingredients (食材) like ginger, garlic, and chilies. Stir-frying (翻炒) and steaming are common. European cooking depends more on potatoes, wheat, meat, and milk products. Roasting and baking are typical methods.
A Closer Look at Health Aspects
Beyond basic ingredients, the two cuisines also differ in health-related habits. The table below summarizes key points.
Health Aspect
Asian Cuisine
European Cuisine
Vegetable amount
High (often >50% of a meal)
Lower (meat as main dish)
Cooking fat
Little oil, low-fat techniques
Animal fats (butter, cream)
Typical drink with meal
Plain tea (no sugar or milk)
Not fixed, but red wine common
Preservation methods (保存方式)
Less needed (fresh ingredients)
Many methods for cold winters
A Shared Feature
Interestingly, both cuisines share several similarities. First, they both value locally sourced ingredients, like rice in Asia or potatoes in Europe. Second, both have a wide range of regional varieties — for example, curry (咖喱) takes different forms across Asia, while bread and cheese differ greatly across Europe. Third, both traditions use herbs to enhance flavor, though the specific ones differ. These shared features show that great cooking, no matter where it comes from, respects local resources and creativity.
21. What is the text mainly about?
A. A comparison between two cuisines. B. A brief introduction to healthy eating.
C. A detailed guide to cooking at home. D. A history of Asian and European diets.
22. Which of the following is typical of a European meal?
A. Using mostly preserved foods. B. Rich in animal products and fats.
C. Vegetable-based with little oil. D. Served with plain tea and red wine.
23. What is a shared feature of Asian and European cooking?
A. Use of the same traditional herbs. B. Limited variety across regions.
C. Depending on imported ingredients. D. Preference for locally grown foods.

Think about surfing and you’ll likely picture young people on California beaches, with brown skin, sun-lightened hair, and strong stomach muscles. But from a historical angle, you might as well think of crime (犯罪) novelist Agatha Christie standing on a surfboard. That’s because Agatha was an early English pioneer of the sport.
In 1922, at the age of 31, Agatha learned to surf. She was not yet the”Queen of Crime,”but her most famous figure, detective (侦探) Hercule Poirot, had already appeared two years earlier in The Mysterious Affair at Styles. Agatha was in the process of publishing her latest book, The Secret Adversary, when she was invited to go with her husband Archie on a world tour to help with an upcoming exhibition. They boarded a steamship heading for South Africa, where they were introduced to a local custom: surfing on Muizenberg Beach.
“Whenever we could steal time off, we took the train and went to Muizenberg, got our surf boards, and went out surfing together,” Agatha wrote in An Autobiography. She and her husband embraced the sport with excitement, buying wooden boards and hitting the waves, first in South Africa, and then in Hawaii.
While Agatha and her husband were staying in Hawaii, she learned to stand up on her board after several failures, including one that left her nearly drowned (淹死). But Agatha kept practicing and was determined to master the art. Later she wrote, “It was heaven! Nothing is like standing upright on your board and rushing through the water at what seems to you the speed of about two hundred miles an hour!”
Agatha showcased her love of surfing through the novel The Man in the Brown Suit in 1924. The female character Anne describes her surfing experience in South Africa and it is hard not to read her words as those of Agatha.
“Surfing looks perfectly easy. It isn’t. Nevertheless, I determined to return on the first possible opportunity and have another go. I would not be beaten.”
24. What do we know about Agatha from the text?
A. She is a pioneer of detective stories. B. Her most famous character is Poirot.
C. She learned how to surf in California. D. Her first book was published in 1922.
25. Which book records Agatha’s early surfing experience?
A. The Mysterious Affair at Styles. B. The Secret Adversary.
C. An Autobiography. D. The Man in the Brown Suit.
26. What does the author intend to show by mentioning Anne in paragraph 5?
A. Agatha’s passion for surfing. B. Agatha’s success in literature.
C. Agatha’s love for South Africa. D. Agatha’s popularity in Britain.
27. Which of the following best describes Agatha?
A. Fashionable and easy-going. B. Talented and hard-working.
C. Selfless and warm-hearted. D. Fearless and strong-willed.
C
Children as young as 18 months old can learn names for objects by overhearing other people’s conversations. Researchers at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Hungary wanted to find out whether dogs that were “gifted” at learning toy names could also learn new words simply by eavesdropping.
In the study, owners of 10 gifted dogs first introduced two new toys and named them, repeatedly saying the toy names while interacting (互动) directly with their pets. These interactions lasted for several minute-long periods across several days. Seven out of the 10 dogs reliably identified and took back the new toys when asked to do so by their owners.
The researchers repeated the experiment in “overheard” conditions with the same owner and dog pairs. Owners included the names of the new toys in sentences and passed the toys among themselves with the dogs watching, but they could not look at or communicate with their dogs. The dogs were not allowed to interact with them or grab the toys, either. Seven dogs were again able to identify the new toys without fail after overhearing the toy names. This showed that gifted dogs “can learn new object names in a manner functionally similar” to young children, the researchers said.
In a third experiment, the pet owners said the names of the toys within sentences only after they had placed the toys in a box and the toys were out of view. Again, when tested, the majority of the dogs correctly identified the new toys — and they still remembered the names of the toys two weeks later.
The researchers do not yet understand exactly why certain dogs have this special ability. Even though gifted dogs can learn new words in a similar way to young children, the similar behaviors and outcomes are likely driven by different underlying mechanisms (机制). “It’s a bit like comparing a bicycle and a car,” the leading researcher Shany Dror said. “They both ride, they both do this function, but the thing that drives them forward is very different.”
28. What does the underlined word “eavesdropping” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Repeating. B. Learning. C. Interacting. D. Overhearing.
29. What were the dogs allowed to do in the second experiment?
A. Touch the toys. B. Learn with a baby.
C. Look at the toys. D. Play with the owner.
30. In which aspect did the third experiment differ from the first two?
A. Its subjects. B. Its length. C. Its procedure. D. Its findings.
31. Why did Shany Dror mention “a bicycle and a car” in paragraph 5?
A. To compare which vehicle works better. B. To contrast how children and dogs learn.
C. To illustrate what drives children to learn. D. To prove why dogs have language ability.
D
Humans have had a complex (复杂的) relationship with snakes. In ancient stories and modern films, a typical snake is often viewed as untrustworthy, cruel and deadly. But in the real world, they motivate scientists to explore in ways we never imagined.
Drawing from a rich source of history, science writer Stephen S. Hall explains the complexity of snakes and humans’ relationship with them in his new book, Slither. Each chapter explores a part of snake biology that shows why the animal causes both fear and strong interest. Personal stories of snake researchers and fans, along with Hall’s own field reports, bring the science to life.
In the book, Hall does not shy away from the very real danger snakes can bring. He describes the damaging and often deadly results of snakebites in serious detail, reminding readers why these animals deserve enough attention. He also points out that early humans developed the ability to quickly notice movement because they needed to be careful of snakes in the wild. The idea is that humans are born with a natural alarm for snakes.
Hall balances this warning with carefully researched stories of snake science and its benefits to humans, both in the past and now. For example, the first drug used to lower blood pressure came from a kind of snake in South America. Studies of snakes are also helping engineers build snake-like robots that can move into tight spaces to search for survivors after a disaster.
Humans are also causing harm to snakes, from worldwide loss of living space to large-scale killing of snakes in Texas. In a chapter about people who hunt Burmese pythons in Florida, Hall asks readers to think again about the word “invasive” (入侵的). After all, these Southeast Asian pythons did not ask to live in the Sunshine State. They got there probably because of the pet trade and quickly adapted to the environment using every genetic advantage they had.
With clear science, action-filled stories, and deep sad feelings, Slither makes sure these often unfairly treated animals get a fair chance.
32. What is humans’ attitude towards snakes according to paragraph 1?
A. Frightened but inspired. B. Annoyed but dependent.
C. Shocked but respectful. D. Confused but hopeful.
33. How did snakes affect early human development according to paragraph 3?
A. By reducing danger from wildlife. B. By inspiring curiosity about animals.
C. By improving human adaptability. D. By weakening humans’ natural alarm.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Latest research on snakes. B. Snakes’ image in various fields.
C. Traditional stories of snakes. D. Snakes’ contributions to science.
35. What can we infer about Hall’s opinion on the snake problem in Florida?
A. It is nature’s choice. B. It is caused by humans.
C. Killing snakes is necessary. D. The snakes fail to fit in well.

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。
I was born and raised on the Gold Coast by my single mother. She valued higher education, and I proved to be an excellent student from a young age. 36 To keep options open, I started university while working part-time in a kitchen. It wasn’t long before I realized I wanted to follow a career in the kitchen, so I dropped out halfway through my degree.
The next 12 years was spent working as a full-time chef (厨师). I landed head chef roles in North Queensland. I got engaged, had great friends, and got the best job of my career. 37 Yet something felt off. I ignored that feeling until my first trip to Bali. There, I knew with every part of me: I wasn’t living the life I meant to live. I didn’t want sameness; I didn’t want my life to be always heading in the same direction.
Then I discovered blogging in 2011. Using my phone, I created images that people would care about and posted them on my blog. I realized I had “the eye” for photography. 38 With so much attention, I soon started getting offers from the tourism industry.
For the first time in my life I voiced my deepest desires. 39 I believed I could create this kind of life by building up my travel blog with my photography skills, and my strong work ethic (职业道德). The next five years were the hardest and best of my life. I averaged 50 trips a year. I expanded into consulting, public speaking, and teaching others how to work in the industry.
This year I’m launching an online photography course for beginners. Next year I’ll lead my first photography tour to Zimbabwe, supporting conservation and local employment. Every part of my business was born from passion and the urge to help others. 40

B. My life was easy and happy.

Han Gan, a traditional Chinese ink painter, served Emperor Xuanzong, who loved horses so much that he owned more than 40,000 horses. Among them was one of the emperor’s 56 (favourite),Night-Shining White, which Han Gan painted in a famous portrait.
In the portrait, Night-Shining White 57 (tie) to a pole and doesn’t look terribly pleased with this fact. He rears back (向后仰起), mouth open and eyes wide, as if 58 (try) to break free. Han Gan skillfully captured the horse’s incredible 59 (strong) and wild spirit. He painted in black ink 60 the same brush that he used for writing. The black ink is water-based and once a mark is made, it can’t be redone if there is a mistake, so Han Gan had to plan this painting 61 (careful) before putting the brush to paper.
The painting is covered with bright red square stamps, 62 are the personal seals (印章) of every owner who treasured the work. In China, collectors would stamp their scals directly onto the artwork 63 (show) their deep appreciation. These stamps also help us track the painting’s history by identifying its owners over time.
Han Gan’s painting of Night-Shining White is one of the most 64 (celebrate) horse paintings in Chinese history. Chinese horse painters after Han Gan’s time often reflected on how they could not compare to 65 great painter and his brilliant portrait of Emperor Xuanzong’s favourite horse.
