When I arrived in America for college at 18,I embraced critical analysis and creative expression.It felt like a way to abandon the strict formalities that defined my early years in Singapore's high-pressure education system,and with it,perhaps,parts of my identity.Suddenly,I felt the need to present myself in a way that Americans would accept.I put on an American accent and set aside my Chinese name.Ultimately, after 14 years in the States,I decided to learn calligraphy.Why not get back in touch with my heritage?I 共12页：第4页 thought. In calligraphy,the idea is to replicate (the old masters'techniques,thereby enhancing your own Every week,my teacher would evaluate my writing."You need to be braver,"he once observed."Your challenge is in producing a bold stroke."For years,I had prided myself on developing an image of integration and confidence despite deep insecurities,but my writing betrayed me. I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots,but what I was really seeking was a return to myself.That first lesson came with the terrific promise that what had been shameful in myself could be made beautiful-and that I could be the one to do that work.I know now that what calligraphy teaches me is not the value of replication but the possibility that I could know myself more fully. 24.What criterion guided the selection of the author's Chinese name? A.Poetic sound patterns. B.Ideal symbolic images. C.Favorable stroke counts. D.Positive literal meanings. 25.Why did the author adopt an American accent? A.To break with tradition B.To fit into the community. C.To achieve academic success. D.To facilitate language learning. 26.What have we learned about the author's experience with calligraphy? A.It revealed her inner self. B.It improved her public image. C.It presented no challenge to her. D.It enhanced her replication skills. 27.What has the author learned from calligraphy? A.Fortune favors the bold. B.Embrace who you truly are. C.Our roots define our identity. D.Planning is good,but doing is better. c Imagine standing in front of a supermarket shelf with 40 types of jam.You might think more choices would make you happier,but research suggests otherwise.The'Paradox of Choice"is a fascinating concep that has interested sociologists for decades.On the surface,more options seem to offer more freedom and satisfaction.We live in an age when the vast abundance of choices,from streaming services to online shopping,should,in theory,make our lives better.However,research has shown that this overwhelming variety can lead to"decision paralysis,"where we get stuck with so many options that we can hardly make up our minds.In fact,an abundance of choices can reduce overall satisfaction with our decisions. 共12页；第5页 Psychologist Barry Schwartz explains that people who are presented with too many options tend to become"maximizers"-individuals who keep trying to find the best choice.They compare every feature, price,and possibility,often fearing that they might miss out on a better option.This leads to a state of constant regret,even before the decision is made,as they worry about what they might have overlooked.In contrast,"satisfiers"look for something that meets their basic needs and are generally happier with their outcomes.They don't need the best option;they just need one that works for them.They are content with their choices because they aren't paralyzed by the possibility of making the wrong one.While maximizers are trapped in endless comparison,satisfiers are content because they aren't paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice. Social media has made this paradox even worse by acting as a"never-ending comparison machine."We no longer just compare ourselves to our neighbors,but we compare our lives to edited,idealized versions of other people's lives around the world.This constant exposure to better alternatives only increases the sense of discontent with our own decisions. To address this,some experts recommend voluntary limitation.By consciously limiting our choices, whether it's through a minimalist wardrobe()or a simplified diet,we can reduce unnecessary mental pressure that stops us from deciding easily.The goal is not to have less,but to free up space for what truly matters to us.By intentionally narrowing our options,we can make more room for meaningful experiences. 28.What is the author's attitude to diverse choices? A.Critical. B.Enthusiastic C.Dismissive. D.Defensive. 29.What is a typical behavior of a"satisfier"? A.Making quick decisions naturally. B.Feeling satisfied with every choice C Seeking the perfect option constantly. D.Caring much about online comparisons. 30.What role does social media play in the paradox of choice? A.It helps people find better deals online. B.It simplifies the decision-making process. C.It provides a realistic view of others'lives. D.It fuels dissatisfaction with one's own choices. 共12页；第6页 31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Maximizers vs Satisfiers:Two Ways of Making Choices B.The Paradox of Choice:Too Many Options Bring Dissatisfaction C.Social Media:A Tool for Endless Comparison Among People D.Voluntary Limitation:A Perfect Way to Simplify Daily Life D Two years ago,Chris and Jenna Humphrey moved to their rural dream house,sitting in splendid isolation in the south Norfolk countryside.Now on three sides of their home,the fields are set to be filled with solar panels for one of Britain's growing number of huge solar farms."I'm all for solar-we have panels on our garage roof,"says Chris."It just seems criminal that hundreds of new houses are being built down the road and none has solar panels,when they would benefit households.But my bigger concern is these solar farms.They seem to reflect big-business thinking aimed at generating profits-they are putting profits before the countryside,food production and the environment." With thousands of panels covering an extensive stretch of land,these projects are considered by some residents as industrial factories rather than green solutions.Their once peaceful and rural community is now under attack.A villager named Berry,for instance,is worried about pollution when panels are driven into the land supposedly protected for her drinking water. Adding to the frustration is a growing sense that local decisions are subject to being overturned by a higher authority.In many cases,local councils hold a vote and decisively reject a solar farm plan.However, the application can then be sent to a national government minister for a final decision.This process makes people feel that their local democratic (rights have been taken away,with decisions about their community made far away in the capital.It's a situation that has left many feeling angry and powerless. For some landowners,their choice is shaped by economic reality."Alot of the land we're taking out of production is land that doesn't make money.It just produces some low-grade feed for cattle,"says one of the farmers who have rented fields to a solar farm company.He says he is losing money on his wheat fields and the company will net him upwards of f,000 per acre (per year.People like to think the countryside never changes and always looks beautiful,"he says.The countryside has to make money like everywhere else. A lot of people support the solar farm.People are much more positive than is being made out." 共12页；第7页 32.The word"criminal"(para.1)mainly expresses Chris's criticism of A.the failure to use solar panels where appropriate B.the large-scale construction of new houses C.the profit-driven operation of solar farms D.the increasing reliance on solar energy 33.According to para.2 and 3,some residents'concern with solar farms is rooted in (1 the vast scale of solar farm projacts. (2the potential operational risks in factories (3)the complex voting system facing the local community (4)the government decision-making process that ignores local voices A.①② B.①④ C.②③ D.②④ 34.What does the farmer's situation in the last paragraph suggest? A.A natural landscape appeals to local farmers more than an industrial one does. B.The solar farm project can be a profitable alternative to conventional farming. C.Realizing green goals outweighs satisfying local community needs D.Some farmers unwillingly rent their wheat fields to solar farm companies. 35.What's the main focus of this passage? A.The financial struggles faced by British farmers. B.The environmental dangers caused by solar technology C.The government's efforts to promote renewable energy. D.The controversy over large solar farms in the countryside. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Food Technology is a vital subject but has fallen out of favour in recent years,overshadowed by "academic"subjects.36As a Food Technology teacher,I firmly believe that the time has come to reinvent it. Engaging students in Food Technology can help shape practical problem-solving skills,enabling them tc 共12页；第8页 make more informed choices about their diets.But Food Technology must evolve to meet the demands of the modern age.37 Instead,a modern food tech program must be reflective of current culinary innovations.We need a curriculum (that emphasizes fresh,seasonal ingredients,and international cuisines. In an era when students can show off their recipes via social media,we can also seize the opportunity to introduce technology into our food tech classes.Beyond being tools for accessing information,digital platforms have the potential to enhance our culinary instruction techniques.We can task students with developing their own meal-planning apps.38 In my reimagined Food Technology classes,inclusivity would play a further crucial role.We now live in a multicultural society,where food practices vary widely.By celebrating diverse traditions,we can teach students about nutrition from a range of cultural perspectives.39 It's important that students learn to respect and celebrate the differences that food represents.Such an approach would not only help to build their understanding and empathy,but also to enrich and expand their culinary horizons and fuel their interest in trying new foods. 40 Who knows-we might well end up with classrooms full of future chefs,health advocates and food scientists,all eager to come up with their own solutions to the world's culinary challenges. A.Cooking can bridge differences. B.Each dish tells a unique cultural story. C.Or we can engage them in interactive cooking lessons. D.Gone,after all,are the days of simply boiling cabbage. E.Yet there is a growing awareness of diet-related health issues. F.To achieve that,however,we'll need more passionate educators G.Diverse local recipes are seldom mentioned in modern Food Technology 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The book I wrote,A Parent's Guide to Less Stress and Worry,was meant to help parents deal with parenting uncertainties.Upon 41 the manuscript ()I was eager to display my 42 globally, convinced of its potential to benefit parents. 共12页；第9页 My literary agent,sharing my 43,submitted it to publishers,only to face a wave of 44 Uniformly,they all claimed the parenting market was too 45 and too risky for investment.Despite all our efforts,the book never found a home,and eventually,my agent and I 46.I had to search for a new agent, and through connections,I managed to get the book in front of more publishers;however,no 47 followed.

A week before Thanksgiving,with a few church members,we wanted to give away holiday meals for families in our community.We contacted neighbors and social workers for families who might be struggling. Their responses were overwhelming:a single mother,Amy,working two jobs to pay medical bills;an 共12页；第11页 elderly couple,Mr and Mrs Jones,whose fixed income couldn't stretch;the Tomas family,displaced by a recent fire... Eventually,we created a list of 10 families in financial need,each to receive a Thanksgiving food basket.These were carefully prepared baskets with all necessities for a traditional holiday meal:golden stuffing mix,green beans,sweet potatoes,iellied cranberry sauce,flour,butter,onions,and dessert items, and even turkeys and hams. That night,the fellowship hall buzzed with laughter and emotion.As each family arrived to pick up the basket,their gratitude was evident.Mr and Mrs Jones shared how this would be their first full meal togethe in weeks.Amy spoke quietly about job losses,and others about hardships.Yet,in that hall,there was warm restored. Just as the families were about to leave,a father,mother,and a child with worn but neat clothes steppe in.The father said they had simply heard through word of mouth that a church was giving out food and decided to come.Clearly,they were not on our list.I approached them and explained that we were unable provide supplies today for an extra family due to limited resources.I felt so sorry as I looked at the family, hoping they would understand the difficult circumstances.The man responded with an awkward smile, saying,Oh,never mind.We just came to see if anything was available.Thank you anyway." 注意：(1)续写词数应为150词左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just as the disappointed family were about to leave,a voice from behind called out,"Wait!".
