With the sound of her mom’s budae jjigae sizzling in a metal pot，all recorded on her phone，Grace invites listeners into her Korean American family’s kitchen，and into her own journey with mental health. In her podcast，Grace plays recordings of her family members’ opinions on her body，expressed in both English and Korean.“Grace，I think you gained weight，” says one person.Others tell her to stop eating because she’s getting bigger.These opinions took a serious toll on her health and happiness.“For years，I didn’t eat properly，and it got to a point where I completely cut out foods I thought were bad for me，such as my favorite，budae jjigae，” she explains.“Then finally，in November of 2021，I suffered from an eating disorder(紊乱)．” In her podcast，Grace also researches mental health in Asian American communities and interviews experts like Joann Kim，the family youth program manager at the Korean Community Service Center near Grace’s home.Joann helped Grace on her road to recovery.In the podcast，Joann explains that there’s a common group mentality(心态) that’s often found in Korean immigrant(移民) communities.“And that makes us really tied to what other people think about us，” says Joann. Even with Joann’s help，it took Grace over two years to feel comfortable asking her mom to make her favorite dinner，budae jjigae. “I ate the entire pot basically all by myself，and for the first time in a really long time，” Grace recalls.“It didn’t really feel like I was doing something bad.I was doing something good for myself.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Grace Go通过她的获奖播客Discomfort Food探索自己与食物和心理健康的关系，并记录了她从饮食紊乱中恢复的旅程。 1．What does Grace really want to show in her podcast? A．Her mental recovery journey. B．Her favorite food. C．Her Korean American family. D．The Korean group mentality. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，Grace的播客探讨了她与韩式浓汤火锅及自身身体的关系，该播客赢得了最佳心理健康播客奖。再结合第三段可得出，Grace在播客中真正想展示的是她的心理恢复之旅。故选A。 2．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．Grace’s bad relationships with her family. B．Grace’s concern about her weight. C．The cause of Grace’s eating disorder.

A．Did justice to. B．Brought an end to. C．Took advantage of. D．Had a bad effect on. 答案　D 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线部分所在句子及后文可推知，这些意见对她的健康和幸福感产生了严重的负面影响，导致她患上饮食紊乱症。因此猜测took a serious toll on的意思是“对……产生负面影响”，与选项D“Had a bad effect on(对……有不良影响)”意思相近。故选D。 4．What is Joann’s attitude towards group mentality in Korean immigrant communities? A．Supportive. B．Negative. C．Unconcerned. D．Unclear. 答案　B 解析　观点态度题。根据第五段中“In the podcast，Joann explains...says Joann.(在播客中，乔安解释说，在韩国移民社区中经常发现一种共同的群体心态。‘这让我们真的很在意别人对我们的看法，’乔安说)”可知，Joann认为这种群体心态使得人们非常在意别人对自己的看法，以及结合后文Grace的心理恢复历程可以推断出，Joann对韩国移民社区中的群体心态持否定态度。故选B。 B(此篇精读) (2025·重庆高一上期末) When you see someone take the first sip of freshly-made milk tea，their face looks like pure joy.Today，millions of people enjoy this experience.Across the world，customers flock to their favorite spots to meet with friends and savor(细品) these tasty drinks. In the early 2000s，though，milk tea was just coming on the scene.The few brands that had successfully established themselves in the industry were deeply concerned：Would milk tea just be another fashion food? Sure，people are enjoying it today，but would they still be in a year，or five years? And with so much new excitement for this product，would people be able to distinguish milk tea companies? These are the questions that Serenitea，a milk tea company，faced in 2014.While successfully opening 60 stores，they found themselves in a strategic fog，which led them to research into the deep，unexplored psychology of milk tea. Like Airbnb，Serenitea partnered with an agency，CIA Bootleg Manila (CBM) which specializes in finding out deep consumer insights.The agency adopted a series of intensive，psychological-based techniques in their market research.Specifically，they explore the consumers’ deeper，emotional connections to milk tea，including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. What they found was that milk tea was a complex topic.Their research revealed that milk tea produced three consistent psychological responses.First，people were connected to milk through the concept of nurture(养育)；They fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers.Next，consumers connected tea to its healing properties.They would recall receiving tea when they had a stomachache or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons.Lastly，they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun：a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered three psychological cornerstones(基石) of the milk tea experience：nurture，healing，and teenage fun.This set of insights was important.By taking these factors into consideration，milk tea brands could make a plan of an entirely new path. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了奶茶的流行现象及其背后的心理学研究。研究发现，奶茶能引发人们关于滋养、治愈和青少年乐趣的三种心理反应，这些发现为奶茶品牌开拓新路径提供了重要见解。 5．What was Serenitea’s concern in the early 2000s? A．Whether milk tea would become too expensive. B．Whether milk tea would lose its flavor over time. C．Whether milk tea would attract too many competitors. D．Whether milk tea would remain popular in the long term. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The few brands...or five years？(在该行业中成功站稳脚跟的少数几个品牌公司非常关心：奶茶是否只是另一种时尚食品？当然，人们现在很喜欢它，但一年后或五年后他们还会喜欢吗？)”可知，Serenitea在21世纪初担心的是奶茶是否能长期受欢迎。故选D。 6．What does CBM find about milk tea? A．Milk tea is associated with teenage fun. B．Milk tea does little harm to our mental health. C．Milk tea leads to positive physical reactions. D．Milk tea has the same healing effect as the herbal tea does. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Lastly，they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun：a guilty pleasure of their youth.(最后，他们将奶茶本身与青少年的乐趣联系起来：他们年轻时的一种有罪恶感的快乐)”可知，CBM发现奶茶与青少年的乐趣有关。故选A。 7．What could brands do to make a new path? A．Pay more attention to the package. B．Locate more stores in the big cities. C．Offer as many new flavors as possible. D．Focus on milk tea’s psychological value. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知，奶茶体验的三个心理基石：滋养、治愈和青少年的乐趣。所以，品牌要想开拓一条新路，就需要关注奶茶的心理价值。故选D。 8．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．Revealing Milk Tea Psychology B．How to Make Milk Tea Popular C．Sharing the Pure Joy of Milk Tea D．A New Method to Milk Tea Success 答案　A 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了Serenitea公司与CBM合作，通过研究发现奶茶体验的三个心理基石：滋养、治愈和青少年的乐趣。由此可知，文章主要介绍了揭示奶茶心理学的研究。故A选项“Revealing Milk Tea Psychology(揭示奶茶心理学)”最适合作文章标题。故选A。 [词汇积累] 1．spot/spɒt/n.地点，处所 2．establish/ɪ'stæblɪʃ/v.确立，使立足 3．concerned/kən'sɜːnd/adj.焦急的，担忧的 4．distinguish/dɪ'stɪŋɡwɪʃ/v.区分，辨别 5．adopt/ə'dɒpt/v.采取(某种方法) 6．consistent/kən'sɪstənt/adj.一致的；连续的 7．response/rɪ'spɒns/n.反应；响应 8．associate/ə'səʊsieɪt/v.联系；联想 9．take...into consideration把……考虑在内 [句式分析] While successfully opening 60 stores，they found themselves in a strategic fog，which led them to research into the deep，unexplored psychology of milk tea. 分析：本句为复合句。主句为they found themselves in a strategic fog，是“find＋宾语＋宾补”结构；While successfully opening 60 stores为状语从句的省略，补充完整为While(they were)successfully opening 60 stores；which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个句子的内容。 翻译：在成功开设了60家门店的同时，他们发现自己陷入了战略迷雾，这促使他们对奶茶的深层次、未被探索的心理学进行了研究。 Ⅳ.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) (2025·河北保定高一上期末) When I was young，I had a love-hate relationship with my car.I enjoyed that I had 1 that could get me where I needed to go，but I 2 just everything else about it.First it leaked(漏) and was 3 on oil.The old tires blew out on more than one 4 .The windshield(挡风玻璃) wipers didn’t work and I sometimes had to 5 in a heavy rain.
