A
Scientists have taken to the salon (美发厅) after realising hairdressers may be an “under-recognised” force in fueling climate action. Alongside their craft, hairdressers are known for their conversation skills, who often act as an agony aunt, adviser and friend rolled into one. New research from the University of Bath’s Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformation (CAST) reveals this is what makes hair salons centers of trust that could be used to encourage conversations around climate change.
The research team interviewed 30 UK salon owners about sustainability, and then ran a nationwide intervention in 25 sustainable salons using Mirror Talkers, where eco-tips are placed on salon mirrors to engender discussions on sustainable haircare practices.
“The carbon footprint of shampoo (洗发水) is mostly in the hot water used,” says Denise Baden of the University of Southampton. “Simple messages like ‘most of us use too much shampoo and shampoo too often’ can spark conversations about how shampooing less and at lower temperatures saves time, money, energy, water and is better for your skin and hair. ”
The study found nearly 73% of salon clients were likely to change their haircare routines after conversations sparked by the Mirror Talkers, some even switching to eco-friendly products, using cooler water, and adopting greener habits at home.
Researchers say this demonstrates how hairdressers have an “untapped ability” to weave climate change into everyday conversations and actions. They are now urging policymakers to roll out tools like Mirror Talkers nationally. “If we’re serious about building a public movement for climate action, then it’s time to invest in these unsung influencers because real change starts in everyday conversations,” says Dr Sam Hampton of CAST.
Matilda Collins, a senior director and stylist, says the Mirror Talkers initiative could gain positive outcomes if the experience “feels natural and engages clients without being overly virtuous”. She adds, “Ultimately, the trust a stylist builds with the client is what will drive potential positive changes in behaviour. It could be a great education platform and a conversation starter, however. ”
21. What did the researchers ask the salon owners to do to promote sustainable practices?
A. Change haircare products for free for their clients.
B. Put up the eco-tips on the salon mirrors.
C. Teach clients how to cut hair in an environmentally friendly way.
D. Survey clients about their carbon footprint daily.
22. What is the focus of the third paragraph?
A. The importance of saving water.
B. The harm of overusing shampoo.
C. The function of eco-tips in salons.
D. The strategy of starting conversations.
23. What can we infer from Dr Sam Hampton’s words?
A. Sound policies encourage investment.
B. Daily conversations can make a difference.
C. Unsung influencers need professional training.
D. Mirror Talkers has gained nationwide popularity.
B
Electrolyte (电解质) drinks have become increasingly popular on gym floors and running routes, widely promoted as essential for boosting athletic performance and speeding up post-exercise recovery. Once used only by top athletes to cope with intense training in hot conditions, they now attract casual gym-goers and office workers as a simple daily way to stay hydrated (水分充足). These products, ranging from ready-to-drink sports drinks to powders that mix with water, can cost a few pounds per day, adding up to a considerable sum over time.
Electrolytes are essential minerals that play a key role in regulating nerves, supporting muscle function and maintaining fluid balance in the human body. Professor Graeme Close, a leading sports nutrition researcher at Liverpool John Moores University, points out that most people are wasting money on electrolyte drinks unnecessarily. A regular, well-designed diet can easily supply enough electrolytes for the average person’s daily needs.
However, during long and intense exercise where people sweat heavily, their electrolyte levels may drop significantly. “If you exercise for a long period of time, especially if you are a salty sweater, adding electrolytes in the form of sodium (钠) is a good choice,” Close says. Besides, electrolyte drinks can increase thirst, which helps people drink more water — something particularly necessary during extended workouts.
For moderate exercise such as a short trip to the gym, electrolytes are not necessary at all. “Just sip water regularly. That’s more than good enough, so keep your hard-earned money for other things,” Close advises. Of course, if you just enjoy the taste and it encourages you to drink more during exercise, it is not a bad thing. Instead of buying expensive commercial powders, he suggests a simple homemade mix: two-thirds water, one-third fruit juice (like pineapple juice) and a tiny pinch of salt. He also notes there’s little scientific evidence that taking electrolytes first thing in the morning brings any real benefit.
24. Which best describes the current market for electrolyte drinks?
A. Primarily used for top athletes in extreme training.
B. Chiefly sold as sports drinks to professionals.
C. Mainly sold as costly nerve disease treatments.
D. Shifted from professional to the general market.
25. Why does Professor Close think people waste money on electrolyte drinks?
A. Such drinks are mostly just plain water.
B. People mix electrolyte powders poorly.
C. A normal balanced diet offers enough electrolytes.
D. The body maintains fluid balance by itself.
26. What can be inferred about the recommended homemade mix?
A. It works best when taken in the morning.
B. It only works with special pineapple juice.
C. It is worse for the body than commercial products.
D. It is a cheap alternative to expensive drinks.
27. What is Professor Close’s attitude towards electrolyte drinks?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned.

Pizza, one of the most popular foods worldwide, has a long and rich history that is closely tied to Italian culture. Its origins can be traced back to ancient civilizations. In ancient Greece, people baked flatbreads with various toppings, which were a precursor (前身) to modern-day pizza. However, it was in Naples, Italy, that pizza as we know it today truly took shape.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Naples was a bustling city with a large working-class population. Pizza became a prevalent and affordable meal for the locals. These early pizzas were simple, with a basic dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and sometimes herbs. They were often sold by street vendors and eaten on the go.
The turning point for pizza’s popularity came in 1889 when a Neapolitan pizza maker named Raffaele Esposito created a special pizza for the visit of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Italy. To represent the colors of the Italian flag, he used tomatoes (red), mozzarella cheese (white), and basil (green). This pizza, named Pizza Margherita, not only became an instant favorite of the royal couple but also a symbol of Italian national identity.
As Italians immigrated to other parts of the world, especially the United States, they brought their love for pizza with them. In the early 20th century, the first pizzerias opened in American cities like New York. Initially, pizza was mainly popular among Italian-American communities. But over time, with marketing efforts and the increasing acceptance of diverse cuisines, pizza became a mainstream food in America. Today, pizza is a global phenomenon, with countless variations in toppings, crust styles, and cooking methods. From the thin-crust New York-style pizza to the deep-dish Chicago-style pizza, each region has put its own spin on this classic dish.
28. What was the precursor of modern-day pizza?
A. Neapolitan street-sold bread.
B. Ancient Greek flatbreads with toppings.
C. The bread baked by Raffaele Esposito.
D. The food sold in early American pizzerias.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prevalent” in paragraph 2?
A. Popular. B. Illegal. C. Horrible. D. Potential.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How Italian immigrants spread pizza to the United States.
B. The different variations of pizza around the world today.
C. The reason why flatbreads became popular in Naples in the 18th century.
D. Pizza Margherita created for the Italian royal family and its influence.
31. What can be known from the passage?
A. The early pizzas had complex toppings.
B. Different regions have different styles of pizza.
C. Pizza is the most popular food in South America.
D. The royal couple of Italy introduced pizzas to the whole world.
D
I was a habitual pessimist, forever assuming the worst cases. As a textbook “helicopter mom,” I checked the backyard for hidden dangers before letting him play, carried a fully stocked emergency kit to his T-ball games, and flatly declined all concerts or crowded outings — fearing crushes, fires, or unforeseen disasters. My husband Don repeatedly argued that my overprotection was suffocating (窒息) David, urging me to let him experience normal childhood risks, but I maintained that I was merely safeguarding my son.
The significant turning point came on a quiet afternoon when I chanced upon David in his room. He was carefully wrapping his beloved Superman figurine (小雕像) in bubble wrap, and when I asked why, he announced proudly, “Now you’re safe from pointy buildings and crashes.” In that instant, I was struck by a harsh and humbling truth: my overwhelming paranoia (偏执) had impacted his young mind, narrowing not just my own world but limiting his too. I realized I was wasting my life on unfounded fears and dragging David into the same cycle of anxiety.
Determined to change, I peeled off the bubble wrap, explained that only Kryptonite could harm Superman, and guided him to play with non-destructive targets. I agreed to attend the downtown concert Don had been urging us to go to, adopting “cross that bridge if we come to it” as my new motto. Gradually, I reconnected with friends I’d pushed away, loosened the invisible hold I had on David, and learned to embrace the present moment rather than fear the unknown.
I’ll never seek extreme adventures like skydiving, but I now enjoy activities I once avoided-from family camping trips to David’s sports games. He matured into a confident, tough young man, bearing the small scars of a normal childhood. Those roads I missed due to paranoia still hurt, but the newer, brighter paths I’ve chosen — thanks to a four-year-old and his superhero — have made all the difference in both our lives.
32. Which of the following best describes the mother in paragraph 1?
A. sensible and cautious. B. Daring and responsible.
C. Indifferent and pessimistic. D. Overprotective and insistent.
33. Why did the mother decide to change?
A. To rebuild her social life and happiness.
B. To become a perfectly fearless role model.
C. To discourage her son from becoming fearful.
D. To demonstrate her parenting style was justified
34. What do we know about the mother from the last two paragraphs?
A. She addressed problems as they arose.
B. She approved of a scar-free childhood.
C. She rarely regretted her missed chances.
D. She completely transformed her life belief.
35. Which of the following titles is most suitable for the passage?
A. The Many Roads Not Taken B. The Day I Conquered All Fear
C. Superman Saves More Than a Child D. From Helicopter Mom to Hands-off Parent

Easy Tips for Healthy Teeth
A bright, healthy smile makes you feel confident. But do you know how to keep your teeth strong and clean? Taking care of your teeth isn’t hard — you just need to follow some simple daily habits. Let’s learn easy tips to protect your oral health.
●Brush Your Teeth Every Day
Brushing is the first step to clean teeth. Everyone knows we should brush our teeth twice a day: once in the morning and once before bed. ____36____ Use a soft-bristled (软毛的) toothbrush and a little fluoride (氟) toothpaste. Move the brush in small circles, not back and forth hard — this keeps your gums (牙龈) safe. Spend about two minutes each time, and don’t forget to brush your tongue too. It helps with bad breath.
●Use floss (牙线)to Clean Between Teeth
A toothbrush can’t reach the small spaces between your teeth. That’s where floss helps. You might think flossing is tricky at first, but it gets easier with practice. Just take a piece of floss about 20cm long, wrap most of it around your middle fingers, and hold a small part tight. Gently slide it between each pair of teeth. ____37____
●Stop Bad Habits for Teeth
Some small habits can hurt your teeth without you noticing. ____38____ For example, don’t use your teeth to open plastic bags or bite nails — this can chip or break your teeth. If you like chewing ice, stop too. Ice is hard and can damage your enamel (釉质). Also, if you play sports like basketball or soccer, wear a mouthguard. It protects your teeth from hits.
●____39____
What you put in your mouth affects your teeth. Sugary foods and drinks are the biggest enemies of healthy teeth. Eating too many sweet snacks can lead to tooth pain and cavities, because bacteria in your mouth will turn sugar into acid. This acid hurts your tooth enamel which is the hard outer layer of your teeth. Instead, eat more fruits, vegetables, and dairy, like milk or cheese — they help make teeth strong. Drink water often too, especially after eating.
● Visit the Dentist Regularly
Even if you brush and floss well, you need to see the dentist. A dentist has special tools to keep your teeth in better shape. ____40____ They also clean your teeth more deeply than you can at home, removing tough plaque (牙菌斑).Try to go to the dentist every six months — it’s not scary, and it keeps your smile healthy!
Taking care of your teeth is a lifelong habit. Start these easy steps now, and you’ll have a happy, healthy smile for years!
A. Watch What You Eat and Drink
B. Choose Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
C. This removes food bits that brushing misses.
D. These habits seem small, but they can cause big problems for your teeth.
E. However, brushing in the right way is also as important as brushing often.
F. They can look for cavities or gum problems at an early stage when it’s easy to fix them.
G. Brushing in the morning cleans food from night, and brushing at night removes day’s dirt.

After several months of ____49____ up to 500 meals a day in an entirely grassroots effort, we moved toward building a community-led emergency center _____50_____ with a water filtration system, solar power, a crowd-sourced emergency plan, a laundry, a library, showers and beds.
From this _____51_____ we asked ourselves, what would it take for all communities to face disasters and loss with _____52_____, instead of switching to _____53_____?

My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But they are doing well in their life. You keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated (深思) the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.” Over the years my mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was: “No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child.” Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?” I was surprised when she asked me this on this occasion.
I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, “This question is very important. How you answer it shows whether you have learnt about life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you that you were wrong and I have given you the reasons. But today is the day you will know the answer.” I looked puzzled. “All your previous answers — ears, eyes, hands, heart... They are all very important to yourself. But this time I need you to think of something that is important to others.”
Paragraph 1: “My dear, the most important body part,” she said, “is your shoulder.”

Paragraph 2: “Mum, I understand. And you can cry on my shoulder too.”

第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2. 5分,满分37. 5分)
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
Scientists have taken to the salon (美发厅) after realising hairdressers may be an “under-recognised” force in fueling climate action. Alongside their craft, hairdressers are known for their conversation skills, who often act as an agony aunt, adviser and friend rolled into one. New research from the University of Bath’s Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformation (CAST) reveals this is what makes hair salons centers of trust that could be used to encourage conversations around climate change.
The research team interviewed 30 UK salon owners about sustainability, and then ran a nationwide intervention in 25 sustainable salons using Mirror Talkers, where eco-tips are placed on salon mirrors to engender discussions on sustainable haircare practices.
“The carbon footprint of shampoo (洗发水) is mostly in the hot water used,” says Denise Baden of the University of Southampton. “Simple messages like ‘most of us use too much shampoo and shampoo too often’ can spark conversations about how shampooing less and at lower temperatures saves time, money, energy, water and is better for your skin and hair. ”
The study found nearly 73% of salon clients were likely to change their haircare routines after conversations sparked by the Mirror Talkers, some even switching to eco-friendly products, using cooler water, and adopting greener habits at home.
Researchers say this demonstrates how hairdressers have an “untapped ability” to weave climate change into everyday conversations and actions. They are now urging policymakers to roll out tools like Mirror Talkers nationally. “If we’re serious about building a public movement for climate action, then it’s time to invest in these unsung influencers because real change starts in everyday conversations,” says Dr Sam Hampton of CAST.
Matilda Collins, a senior director and stylist, says the Mirror Talkers initiative could gain positive outcomes if the experience “feels natural and engages clients without being overly virtuous”. She adds, “Ultimately, the trust a stylist builds with the client is what will drive potential positive changes in behaviour. It could be a great education platform and a conversation starter, however. ”
21. What did the researchers ask the salon owners to do to promote sustainable practices?
A. Change haircare products for free for their clients.
B. Put up the eco-tips on the salon mirrors.
C. Teach clients how to cut hair in an environmentally friendly way.
D. Survey clients about their carbon footprint daily.
22. What is the focus of the third paragraph?
A. The importance of saving water.
B. The harm of overusing shampoo.
C. The function of eco-tips in salons.
D. The strategy of starting conversations.
23. What can we infer from Dr Sam Hampton’s words?
A. Sound policies encourage investment.
B. Daily conversations can make a difference.
C. Unsung influencers need professional training.
D. Mirror Talkers has gained nationwide popularity.
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述研究发现美发厅可借助信任优势推动公众气候行动。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The research team interviewed 30 UK salon owners about sustainability, and then ran a nationwide intervention in 25 sustainable salons using Mirror Talkers, where eco-tips are placed on salon mirrors to engender discussions on sustainable haircare practices. (研究团队就可持续发展主题采访了30位英国美发厅店主,随后在25家可持续美发厅开展了全国性试点,推行“镜中提示”项目——将环保小贴士贴在美发厅的镜子上,以此引发大家对可持续护发方式的讨论。)”可知,研究人员要求沙龙店主在沙龙镜子上张贴环保小贴士。
【22题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段““The carbon footprint of shampoo (洗发水) is mostly in the hot water used,” says Denise Baden of the University of Southampton. “Simple messages like ‘most of us use too much shampoo and shampoo too often’ can spark conversations about how shampooing less and at lower temperatures saves time, money, energy, water and is better for your skin and hair. ”(南安普顿大学的丹尼斯·巴登表示:“洗发水的碳足迹主要来自洗头时使用的热水。像‘我们大多数人用的洗发水太多、洗头太频繁’这类简单提示,就能引发相关讨论:减少洗头频次、用更低水温洗头,既能节省时间、金钱、能源和水资源,还对皮肤和头发更友好。”)”可知,第三段重点介绍了沙龙里环保小贴士的作用。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中““If we’re serious about building a public movement for climate action, then it’s time to invest in these unsung influencers because real change starts in everyday conversations,” says Dr Sam Hampton of CAST. (巴斯大学气候变化与社会转型中心的萨姆·汉普顿博士表示:“如果我们真心想要推动全民气候行动运动,就该投入资源支持这些无名的影响力群体,因为真正的改变始于日常对话。”)”可知,从萨姆·汉普顿博士的话语中我们可以推断出日常对话能够带来实际影响。

Electrolyte (电解质) drinks have become increasingly popular on gym floors and running routes, widely promoted as essential for boosting athletic performance and speeding up post-exercise recovery. Once used only by top athletes to cope with intense training in hot conditions, they now attract casual gym-goers and office workers as a simple daily way to stay hydrated (水分充足). These products, ranging from ready-to-drink sports drinks to powders that mix with water, can cost a few pounds per day, adding up to a considerable sum over time.
Electrolytes are essential minerals that play a key role in regulating nerves, supporting muscle function and maintaining fluid balance in the human body. Professor Graeme Close, a leading sports nutrition researcher at Liverpool John Moores University, points out that most people are wasting money on electrolyte drinks unnecessarily. A regular, well-designed diet can easily supply enough electrolytes for the average person’s daily needs.
However, during long and intense exercise where people sweat heavily, their electrolyte levels may drop significantly. “If you exercise for a long period of time, especially if you are a salty sweater, adding electrolytes in the form of sodium (钠) is a good choice,” Close says. Besides, electrolyte drinks can increase thirst, which helps people drink more water — something particularly necessary during extended workouts.
For moderate exercise such as a short trip to the gym, electrolytes are not necessary at all. “Just sip water regularly. That’s more than good enough, so keep your hard-earned money for other things,” Close advises. Of course, if you just enjoy the taste and it encourages you to drink more during exercise, it is not a bad thing. Instead of buying expensive commercial powders, he suggests a simple homemade mix: two-thirds water, one-third fruit juice (like pineapple juice) and a tiny pinch of salt. He also notes there’s little scientific evidence that taking electrolytes first thing in the morning brings any real benefit.
24. Which best describes the current market for electrolyte drinks?
A. Primarily used for top athletes in extreme training.
B. Chiefly sold as sports drinks to professionals.
C. Mainly sold as costly nerve disease treatments.
D. Shifted from professional to the general market.
25. Why does Professor Close think people waste money on electrolyte drinks?
A. Such drinks are mostly just plain water.
B. People mix electrolyte powders poorly.
C. A normal balanced diet offers enough electrolytes.
D. The body maintains fluid balance by itself.
26. What can be inferred about the recommended homemade mix?
A. It works best when taken in the morning.
B. It only works with special pineapple juice.
C. It is worse for the body than commercial products.
D. It is a cheap alternative to expensive drinks.
27. What is Professor Close’s attitude towards electrolyte drinks?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】文章指出对大多数进行适度运动的普通人而言,均衡饮食已能满足电解质需求,购买电解质饮料可能是一种浪费,但在长时间高强度出汗运动时,补充电解质仍是有益的。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Electrolyte (电解质) drinks have become increasingly popular on gym floors and running routes, widely promoted as essential for boosting athletic performance and speeding up post-exercise recovery. Once used only by top athletes to cope with intense training in hot conditions, they now attract casual gym-goers and office workers as a simple daily way to stay hydrated (水分充足). (电解质饮料在健身房和跑步路线旁变得越来越受欢迎,被广泛宣传为提升运动表现和加速运动后恢复所必需的饮品。过去,只有顶尖运动员才会在炎热的训练环境中使用这种饮料,而现在它吸引了普通健身者和上班族,成为一种简单的日常补水方式。)”可知,电解质饮料的使用人群从“曾经仅限顶尖运动员”变为“现在吸引了普通健身者和上班族”,表明其市场已从专业市场转向大众市场。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Professor Graeme Close, a leading sports nutrition researcher at Liverpool John Moores University, points out that most people are wasting money on electrolyte drinks unnecessarily. A regular, well-designed diet can easily supply enough electrolytes for the average person’s daily needs. (利物浦约翰摩尔斯大学的著名运动营养学专家Graeme Close教授指出,大多数人都在毫无必要地浪费钱购买电解质饮料。对于普通人而言,一份合理的、精心设计的饮食就能轻松满足日常所需的电解质含量。)”可知,Close教授认为人们在电解质饮料上浪费钱,是因为正常的均衡饮食就能提供足够的电解质。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Instead of buying expensive commercial powders, he suggests a simple homemade mix: two-thirds water, one-third fruit juice (like pineapple juice) and a tiny pinch of salt. (他建议不要购买昂贵的商业冲剂,而是采用一种简单的自制混合物:三分之二的水,三分之一的果汁(比如菠萝汁),再加上一点点盐。)”可推知,教授推荐的自制混合物经济实惠,是昂贵饮料的一种廉价替代品。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Close所说的话“If you exercise for a long period of time, especially if you are a salty sweater, adding electrolytes in the form of sodium (钠) is a good choice (如果你长时间进行锻炼,尤其是如果你属于容易出汗且体液流失较多的人群,那么以钠的形式补充电解质是一个不错的选择)”和最后一段中Close所说的话“Just sip water regularly. That’s more than good enough, so keep your hard-earned money for other things (只需定期小口喝水即可。这已经足够了,所以把钱留着用于其他用途吧。)”可知,Close教授否定不必要的电解质饮料消费,也肯定其特定场景的价值,表明他对电解质饮料的态度是客观的。

Pizza, one of the most popular foods worldwide, has a long and rich history that is closely tied to Italian culture. Its origins can be traced back to ancient civilizations. In ancient Greece, people baked flatbreads with various toppings, which were a precursor (前身) to modern-day pizza. However, it was in Naples, Italy, that pizza as we know it today truly took shape.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Naples was a bustling city with a large working-class population. Pizza became a prevalent and affordable meal for the locals. These early pizzas were simple, with a basic dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and sometimes herbs. They were often sold by street vendors and eaten on the go.
The turning point for pizza’s popularity came in 1889 when a Neapolitan pizza maker named Raffaele Esposito created a special pizza for the visit of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Italy. To represent the colors of the Italian flag, he used tomatoes (red), mozzarella cheese (white), and basil (green). This pizza, named Pizza Margherita, not only became an instant favorite of the royal couple but also a symbol of Italian national identity.
As Italians immigrated to other parts of the world, especially the United States, they brought their love for pizza with them. In the early 20th century, the first pizzerias opened in American cities like New York. Initially, pizza was mainly popular among Italian-American communities. But over time, with marketing efforts and the increasing acceptance of diverse cuisines, pizza became a mainstream food in America. Today, pizza is a global phenomenon, with countless variations in toppings, crust styles, and cooking methods. From the thin-crust New York-style pizza to the deep-dish Chicago-style pizza, each region has put its own spin on this classic dish.
28. What was the precursor of modern-day pizza?
A. Neapolitan street-sold bread.
B. Ancient Greek flatbreads with toppings.
C. The bread baked by Raffaele Esposito.
D. The food sold in early American pizzerias.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prevalent” in paragraph 2?
A. Popular. B. Illegal. C. Horrible. D. Potential.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How Italian immigrants spread pizza to the United States.
B. The different variations of pizza around the world today.
C. The reason why flatbreads became popular in Naples in the 18th century.
D. Pizza Margherita created for the Italian royal family and its influence.
31. What can be known from the passage?
A. The early pizzas had complex toppings.
B. Different regions have different styles of pizza.
C. Pizza is the most popular food in South America.
D. The royal couple of Italy introduced pizzas to the whole world.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了比萨饼的起源、发展以及世界各地不同风格的比萨饼。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In ancient Greece, people baked flatbreads with various toppings, which were a precursor (前身) to modern-day pizza. (在古希腊,人们烤制各种配料的扁面包,这是现代比萨饼的前身)”可知,现代比萨饼的前身是古希腊的带配料的扁面包。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“In the 18th and 19th centuries, Naples was a bustling city with a large working-class population. Pizza became a prevalent and affordable meal for the locals. These early pizzas were simple, with a basic dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and sometimes herbs. They were often sold by street vendors and eaten on the go. (在18世纪和19世纪,那不勒斯是一个繁华的城市,拥有大量的工人阶级人口。披萨成为当地人prevalent且负担得起的食物。这些早期的披萨很简单,基本的面团上撒着西红柿、奶酪,有时还有香草。它们经常被街头小贩卖掉,在路上吃)”可知,比萨饼经常被街头小贩卖掉,所以此处表示的是比萨饼成为当地人普遍且负担得起的一餐,prevalent意为“普遍的”,与Popular意思相近。故选A项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The turning point for pizza’s popularity came in 1889 when a Neapolitan pizza maker named Raffaele Esposito created a special pizza for the visit of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Italy. To represent the colors of the Italian flag, he used tomatoes (red), mozzarella cheese (white), and basil (green). This pizza, named Pizza Margherita, not only became an instant favorite of the royal couple but also a symbol of Italian national identity. (比萨饼受欢迎的转折点出现在1889年,当时那不勒斯的一位名叫拉斐尔·埃斯波西托的比萨饼师傅为意大利国王翁贝托一世和玛格丽塔王后的来访制作了一种特殊的比萨饼。为了代表意大利国旗的颜色,他使用了西红柿 (红色)、马苏里拉奶酪 (白色)和罗勒 (绿色)。这种比萨饼被命名为玛格丽塔比萨饼,不仅立即成为皇室夫妇的最爱,也成为意大利民族身份的象征)”可知,第三段主要讲的是为意大利皇室制作的玛格丽塔比萨饼及其影响。故选D项。

D
I was a habitual pessimist, forever assuming the worst cases. As a textbook “helicopter mom,” I checked the backyard for hidden dangers before letting him play, carried a fully stocked emergency kit to his T-ball games, and flatly declined all concerts or crowded outings — fearing crushes, fires, or unforeseen disasters. My husband Don repeatedly argued that my overprotection was suffocating (窒息) David, urging me to let him experience normal childhood risks, but I maintained that I was merely safeguarding my son.
The significant turning point came on a quiet afternoon when I chanced upon David in his room. He was carefully wrapping his beloved Superman figurine (小雕像) in bubble wrap, and when I asked why, he announced proudly, “Now you’re safe from pointy buildings and crashes.” In that instant, I was struck by a harsh and humbling truth: my overwhelming paranoia (偏执) had impacted his young mind, narrowing not just my own world but limiting his too. I realized I was wasting my life on unfounded fears and dragging David into the same cycle of anxiety.
Determined to change, I peeled off the bubble wrap, explained that only Kryptonite could harm Superman, and guided him to play with non-destructive targets. I agreed to attend the downtown concert Don had been urging us to go to, adopting “cross that bridge if we come to it” as my new motto. Gradually, I reconnected with friends I’d pushed away, loosened the invisible hold I had on David, and learned to embrace the present moment rather than fear the unknown.
I’ll never seek extreme adventures like skydiving, but I now enjoy activities I once avoided-from family camping trips to David’s sports games. He matured into a confident, tough young man, bearing the small scars of a normal childhood. Those roads I missed due to paranoia still hurt, but the newer, brighter paths I’ve chosen — thanks to a four-year-old and his superhero — have made all the difference in both our lives.
32. Which of the following best describes the mother in paragraph 1?
A. sensible and cautious. B. Daring and responsible.

33. Why did the mother decide to change?
A. To rebuild her social life and happiness.
B. To become a perfectly fearless role model.
C. To discourage her son from becoming fearful.
D. To demonstrate her parenting style was justified
34. What do we know about the mother from the last two paragraphs?
A. She addressed problems as they arose.
B. She approved of a scar-free childhood.
C. She rarely regretted her missed chances.
D. She completely transformed her life belief.
35. Which of the following titles is most suitable for the passage?
A. The Many Roads Not Taken B. The Day I Conquered All Fear
C. Superman Saves More Than a Child D. From Helicopter Mom to Hands-off Parent
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了一位过度保护、充满悲观偏执的母亲,在意识到自己的焦虑心态已经影响到年幼儿子的认知和行为后,决心改变自己。她学会放下对未知灾难的恐惧,采用“船到桥头自然直”的生活态度,最终不仅让自己过上了更丰富、更自由的生活,也帮助儿子成长为一个自信、坚韧的少年。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As a textbook “helicopter mom,” I checked the backyard for hidden dangers before letting him play, carried a fully stocked emergency kit to his T-ball games, and flatly declined all concerts or crowded outings — fearing crushes, fires, or unforeseen disasters. My husband Don repeatedly argued that my overprotection was suffocating (窒息) David, urging me to let him experience normal childhood risks, but I maintained that I was merely safeguarding my son.(作为一位教科书式的“直升机妈妈”,我会在让孩子去后院玩耍之前先检查一遍有没有隐藏的危险,在他打儿童棒球比赛时随身携带一个装满应急物品的工具包,并且断然拒绝所有音乐会或人多拥挤的外出活动——因为我害怕发生踩踏、火灾或无法预见的灾难。我丈夫Don多次指出,我的过度保护正在窒息David,他力劝我让孩子去经历正常童年该有的风险,但我始终坚持自己只是在保护儿子。)”可知,这位母亲会拒绝所有对儿子有隐藏危险的活动,丈夫认为她在窒息孩子,但她却觉得自己是在保护儿子,故可推知这位母亲过度保护且固执己见。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In that instant, I was struck by a harsh and humbling truth: my overwhelming paranoia (偏执) had impacted his young mind, narrowing not just my own world but limiting his too. I realized I was wasting my life on unfounded fears and dragging David into the same cycle of anxiety.(在那一刻,我被一个残酷又令人自省的事实击中了:我那过度的偏执已经影响了他幼小的心灵,不仅限制了我自己的世界,也限制了他的世界。我意识到自己正把生命浪费在毫无根据的恐惧上,并且把David也拖入了同样的焦虑循环中。)”可知,作者看见儿子包裹小雕像的行为时,意识到自己的偏执影响了孩子的心灵,限制了他,且将孩子拖入了同样的焦虑循环中,因此作者想要阻止儿子也变得同样恐惧,因此决定做出改变。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I agreed to attend the downtown concert Don had been urging us to go to, adopting “cross that bridge if we come to it” as my new motto. Gradually, I reconnected with friends I’d pushed away, loosened the invisible hold I had on David, and learned to embrace the present moment rather than fear the unknown.(我同意了Don一直劝我去的那场市中心音乐会,把“船到桥头自然直”作为我的新座右铭。渐渐地,我重新联系了那些曾被我疏远的朋友,松开了一直紧握David的隐形之手,并学会了活在当下,而不是惧怕未知。)”可知,作者把“船到桥头自然直” 作为新的座右铭,学会了活在当下,而不是惧怕未知,故她改变后,遇到问题了再解决,而不是提前焦虑。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Those roads I missed due to paranoia still hurt, but the newer, brighter paths I’ve chosen — thanks to a four-year-old and his superhero — have made all the difference in both our lives.(那些因偏执而错过的路,至今仍让我感到遗憾,但那些我选择的更新、更明亮的道路——多亏了一个四岁孩子和他的超级英雄——已经让我们的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化。)”并通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了一位过度保护、充满悲观偏执的母亲,因儿子用起码泡沫包裹超人雕像的行为,意识到自己的焦虑心态已经影响到年幼儿子的认知和行为,因此开始放下对未知灾难的恐惧,采用“船到桥头自然直”的生活态度,最终不仅让自己过上了更丰富、更自由的生活,也帮助儿子成长为一个自信、坚韧的少年。故C项“超人不仅救了孩子”可作为本文的标题,“超人不仅救了孩子,也救了这位母亲”,可以概括全文内容。

Easy Tips for Healthy Teeth
A bright, healthy smile makes you feel confident. But do you know how to keep your teeth strong and clean? Taking care of your teeth isn’t hard — you just need to follow some simple daily habits. Let’s learn easy tips to protect your oral health.
●Brush Your Teeth Every Day
Brushing is the first step to clean teeth. Everyone knows we should brush our teeth twice a day: once in the morning and once before bed. ____36____ Use a soft-bristled (软毛的) toothbrush and a little fluoride (氟) toothpaste. Move the brush in small circles, not back and forth hard — this keeps your gums (牙龈) safe. Spend about two minutes each time, and don’t forget to brush your tongue too. It helps with bad breath.
●Use floss (牙线)to Clean Between Teeth
A toothbrush can’t reach the small spaces between your teeth. That’s where floss helps. You might think flossing is tricky at first, but it gets easier with practice. Just take a piece of floss about 20cm long, wrap most of it around your middle fingers, and hold a small part tight. Gently slide it between each pair of teeth. ____37____
●Stop Bad Habits for Teeth
Some small habits can hurt your teeth without you noticing. ____38____ For example, don’t use your teeth to open plastic bags or bite nails — this can chip or break your teeth. If you like chewing ice, stop too. Ice is hard and can damage your enamel (釉质). Also, if you play sports like basketball or soccer, wear a mouthguard. It protects your teeth from hits.
●____39____
What you put in your mouth affects your teeth. Sugary foods and drinks are the biggest enemies of healthy teeth. Eating too many sweet snacks can lead to tooth pain and cavities, because bacteria in your mouth will turn sugar into acid. This acid hurts your tooth enamel which is the hard outer layer of your teeth. Instead, eat more fruits, vegetables, and dairy, like milk or cheese — they help make teeth strong. Drink water often too, especially after eating.
● Visit the Dentist Regularly
Even if you brush and floss well, you need to see the dentist. A dentist has special tools to keep your teeth in better shape. ____40____ They also clean your teeth more deeply than you can at home, removing tough plaque (牙菌斑).Try to go to the dentist every six months — it’s not scary, and it keeps your smile healthy!
Taking care of your teeth is a lifelong habit. Start these easy steps now, and you’ll have a happy, healthy smile for years!
A. Watch What You Eat and Drink
B. Choose Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
C. This removes food bits that brushing misses.
D. These habits seem small, but they can cause big problems for your teeth.
E. However, brushing in the right way is also as important as brushing often.
F. They can look for cavities or gum problems at an early stage when it’s easy to fix them.
G. Brushing in the morning cleans food from night, and brushing at night removes day’s dirt.
【答案】36. E 37. C 38. D 39. A 40. F

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕牙齿健康展开,介绍了保持牙齿强健清洁的五个简单实用的日常技巧。
【36题详解】
上文“Everyone knows we should brush our teeth twice a day: once in the morning and once before bed.(每个人都知道我们应该每天刷两次牙:一次在早上,一次在睡前)”说明了刷牙的频率,下文“Use a soft-bristled (软毛的) toothbrush and a little fluoride (氟) toothpaste. Move the brush in small circles, not back and forth hard — this keeps your gums (牙龈) safe. Spend about two minutes each time, and don’t forget to brush your tongue too. It helps with bad breath.(使用软毛牙刷和少量含氟牙膏。以小圈的方式移动牙刷,不要来回用力,这样可以保护你牙龈的安全。每次刷两分钟左右,别忘了刷舌头。它有助于消除口臭)”指出了正确的刷牙方式。由此可知,刷牙的方式和频率同样重要。选项E“然而,正确的刷牙方式和经常刷牙同样重要。”承上启下。故选E。
【37题详解】
上文“Gently slide it between each pair of teeth.(轻轻地将它滑入每一对牙齿之间)”描述了使用牙线的具体动作,此处需要说明该动作带来的效果。选项C“这能清除刷牙遗漏的食物残渣。”明确指出了用牙线清洁牙缝的作用,补充了上文动作的目的,衔接自然。故选C。
【38题详解】
上文“Some small habits can hurt your teeth without you noticing.(一些小习惯会在你不经意间伤害你的牙齿)”提到了有害牙齿的小习惯,下文紧接着举例说明具体的不良习惯,此处需要起到承上启下的作用。选项D“这些习惯看似微小,但它们可能会给你的牙齿带来大问题。”既呼应了上文的“小习惯”,又强调了其潜在危害,为下文列举具体不良习惯并说明危害做了铺垫。故选D。
【39题详解】
空处为段落小标题。下文“What you put in your mouth affects your teeth.(你吃进嘴里的东西会影响你的牙齿)”以及整段内容围绕饮食对牙齿的影响展开,给出了饮食方面的建议可知,选项A“注意你的饮食。”准确概括了下文关于饮食与牙齿健康的内容,点明段落主题。故选A。
【40题详解】
上文“A dentist has special tools to keep your teeth in better shape.(牙医有特殊的工具来让你的牙齿保持更好的状态)”说明了牙医的专业优势,此处需要具体说明牙医能做的事情。选项F“他们可以在蛀牙或牙龈问题的早期阶段就发现它们,这时很容易修复。”具体阐述了牙医利用专业能力能完成的工作,补充了上文提到的“特殊工具”对应的实际作用。故选F。

【56题详解】

【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这种风格后来被称为浙派,以浙江省命名。“name”与逻辑主语“This style”之间是动宾关系,需用过去分词,作后置定语。
【60题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:与以沈周为首的吴派相比,浙派的画家被视为“专业”艺术家。设空处为谓语,此处描述过去的情况,用一般过去时,主语“the painters of the Zhe school”和“regard”之间是被动关系,需用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用were。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:相比之下,吴派艺术家通常被贴上“业余爱好者”的标签,他们更强调在绘画中表达个人情感和思想。“be labeled as...”是固定短语,意为“被贴上……的标签”。
【62题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:相比之下,吴派艺术家通常被贴上“业余爱好者”的标签,他们更强调在绘画中表达个人情感和思想。根据语境可知,此处是将浙派和吴派进行对比,强调吴派更注重表达个人情感和思想,需用形容词比较级greater。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意:就像他那个时代的其他有创造力的艺术家一样,他从过去汲取灵感,并将其作为创造新事物的跳板。空处修饰名词“artists”,需用形容词creative作定语,意为“有创造力的”。

My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But they are doing well in their life. You keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated (深思) the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.” Over the years my mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was: “No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child.” Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?” I was surprised when she asked me this on this occasion.
I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, “This question is very important. How you answer it shows whether you have learnt about life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you that you were wrong and I have given you the reasons. But today is the day you will know the answer.” I looked puzzled. “All your previous answers — ears, eyes, hands, heart... They are all very important to yourself. But this time I need you to think of something that is important to others.”
Paragraph 1: “My dear, the most important body part,” she said, “is your shoulder.”

【答案】One possible version:
“My dear, the most important body part,” she said, “is your shoulder.” “Is it because it holds up my head?” I asked. “No, it is because it can hold up the head of a friend or loved one when they cry,” she replied. “Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you can always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.” I saw her eyes well up with tears.
“Mum, I understand. And you can cry on my shoulder too.” And silently, my mother put her head on my shoulder and started to cry. It was not heavy at all, and the wetness didn’t make me uncomfortable either. In fact when her warm tears damped my shoulder, I felt the pain in her heart, and I knew how hurt, lonely and vulnerable she was at that moment. I felt like a man. I was there when someone I loved dearly needed me the most.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述母亲多年来一直问“我”身体最重要的部位是什么,“我”给出耳朵、眼睛等答案均被否定。在爷爷去世时,母亲再次询问,并表示这次的答案与对他人的重要性有关。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容可知,第一段可描写母亲说肩膀是最重要的身体部位,“我”询问是否因为肩膀支撑头部,母亲回答是因为当朋友或爱人哭泣时,肩膀能让他们依靠。母亲希望 “我” 有足够的爱和朋友,在需要时也能有肩膀依靠,说着她眼中泛起泪花。
②由第二段首句内容可知,第二段可描写“我”表示理解,并让母亲靠在 “我”肩膀上哭泣。母亲将头靠在 “我”肩膀上开始哭泣,“我”没有觉得沉重或不舒服,反而感受到她心中的痛苦,意识到她此刻的伤痛、孤独和脆弱。“我”感觉自己像个男子汉,在心爱的人最需要时陪在她身边。
2.续写线索:母亲解释肩膀重要的原因——表达对“我”的期望——“我”让母亲依靠——感受到母亲的痛苦——“我”意识到自己的责任。
