Maya’s dreams were not gentle. They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her accounting textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby,” a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand.
The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion (反抗).
Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary. The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for!
Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.
After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.”
Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived.
4. What is the root of Maya’s inner struggle?
A. Choosing between two stable jobs. B. Living a double life between work and family.
C. Balancing her dream with family’s expectations. D. Seeking a balance between reality and fantasy.
5. What does the underlined word “complied” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Obeyed. B. Panicked. C. Protested. D. Wondered.
6. What might Maya learn from her submission experience?
A. Getting published isn’t hard. B. Standing your ground is a virtue.
C. You have to pay a fee to get recognized. D. You have to compromise sometimes to succeed.
7. What is Maya’s advice to the teenagers?
A. Choose proper material. B. Turn storms into stories.
C. Build castle before dreaming. D. Dream big and dare to fail.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了Maya在梦想和家人期望之间挣扎,最终通过妥协和努力实现梦想并鼓励他人的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby”(未来已经由她的父母规划好了:商科学位、稳定的工作、安全保障。她的写作只是一个“愉快的爱好”)”以及第二段中“Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name.(她父亲把她的笔记本看作是一个危险、充满风险的世界的证据。她母亲担心这些故事是从需要实际生活的现实中逃避出来。Maya于是顺从了,白天研究电子表格,但晚上,她用一个假名写博客)”可知,Maya内心挣扎的根源是在自己的梦想和家人的期望之间取得平衡。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name.(她父亲把她的笔记本看作是一个危险、充满风险的世界的证据。她母亲担心这些故事是从需要实际生活的现实中逃避出来。Maya于是complied了,白天研究电子表格,但晚上,她用一个假名写博客)”可知,Maya的父亲认为写作是一个危险、充满风险的世界的证据,母亲担心写作是从现实逃避出来,所以Maya顺从了他们,白天研究电子表格,晚上用假名写博客。故complied意思是“顺从”。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.(然后,一个认可的时刻到来了,尽管它也有自己的代价。一家文学杂志接受了一篇故事,但要求彻底修改,这将改变其充满希望的结局。Maya挣扎了一个星期,想拒绝。最后,她重写了它。新的结局既有爱也有距离,既有野心也有牺牲。它被发表了)”可推知,Maya从她的投稿经历中学到了为了成功,有时你必须妥协。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中““The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.” (“冲突并不是你梦想的障碍,”她会告诉他们。“这是素材。不要写童话。写下风暴。然后,写下那个学会在雨中站立的人。”)”可知,Maya给青少年的建议是把风暴变成故事。
C
In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients, rather than artificial ones. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food has not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
8. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A. To reduce waste in the food industry.
B. To improve the taste of processed foods.
C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
9. What was the primary aim of the microbiological evaluation?
A. To find the substances cashew nut contains. B. To analyse the changes in pH and water activity.
C. To ensure the safety of refrigerated beef. D. To check the effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria.
10. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A. It can improve meat quality over time.
B. Its concentration affects the storage life.
C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process.
D. It performs best at room temperature.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Fully convinced.
C. Hesitant and doubtful. D. Neutral and objective.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍科研人员从废弃的腰果壳中提取腰果壳液(CNSL),通过实验验证其天然抑菌保鲜的作用,并指出该物质后续还有待进一步研究。
【8题详解】
详解理解题。根据第一段“In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought ‘clean-label’ foods — products made with natural ingredients, rather than artificial ones. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut that is often thrown away — the shell.(近年来消费者愈发青睐‘清洁标签’食品,即采用天然而非人工配料制成的产品。这一趋势促使科学家寻找安全的天然防腐剂,于是他们把目光投向腰果壳这一通常被丢弃的部分。)”可知,科学家研究腰果壳意在寻找可以替代人工防腐剂的天然物质。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp.(储存期间开展详尽的微生物检测,统计活菌总数以及假单胞菌、梭菌、变形杆菌等特定腐败菌的数量。)”以及“The scientists discovered that the CNSL‑treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat.(科学家发现经过腰果壳液处理的肉细菌增殖明显少于未处理的肉。)”可知,微生物评估的主要目的是检验腰果壳液抑制细菌的效果。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.(浓度越高效果越强,2.0%浓度的溶液保鲜效果优异,同时可以保证肉质。即便室温环境下,它也能够延缓变酸、抑制细菌繁殖,延长牛肉外观新鲜时长。)”可知,腰果壳液的浓度会影响肉类的储存时长。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.(研究者指出仍需开展后续研究,确认该液体是否影响牛肉风味口感,以及如何和现代包装技术结合以优化效果。即便如此,这项研究为探索天然食物保鲜途径开辟了方向,而这一保鲜物质就藏在不起眼的腰果壳之中。)”可知,作者一方面承认尚有问题有待研究,另一方面认可这项研究的前景,态度审慎乐观。
D
As a psychology writer, I’ve come across hundreds of evidence-based tips for better thinking. Few have proven as useful as the ancient strategy of illeism — the practice of talking about oneself in the third person. To the modern era, illeism can sound a little silly. Yet recent research suggests that illeism can bring real benefits.
To understand why, we must examine how scientists measure wise reasoning. Igor Grossmann, a leading researcher in wisdom, identified qualities like humbleness, openness to others’ views and adaptability. In an early study, participants voiced responses to difficulties, while psychologists rated their answers. Grossmann found these tests better predicted life satisfaction and social relationship quality than IQ tests, suggesting the studies captured unique reasoning skills.
Grossmann’s later studies discovered that people’s wise reasoning can depend on the context — their scores tended to be much higher when considering others’ situations than their own. Grossmann called this “Solomon’s Paradox” after the King Solomon, who was famous for giving others wise advice but making poor personal decisions. The problem seems to be that when making personal choices, emotions cloud our judgment. If a friend gives me negative feedback, for example, embarrassment might make me too defensive. I might therefore ignore their opinions without considering whether they could be helpful in the long-term.
Could illeism solve Solomon’s Paradox? The idea makes sense: switching to the third person allows us to see the bigger picture, rather than getting caught up in our own feelings. Grossmann’s latest studies support this idea: participants who kept a third-person diary for a month showed greater wise reasoning gains than first-person writers. Illeism users also reported calmer responses to stressful events, suggesting a more balanced response to daily challenges.
Based on these findings, I now apply illeism to all decisions, small and big. I find that a few moments to view my problems from a third-person perspective helps me to see the issue more clearly.
12. What is the focus of Grossmann’s first study?
A. How psychologists rated social skills. B. How wise reasoning was assessed.
C. How IQ tests predicted life satisfaction. D. How participants solved tough problems.
13. What is “Solomon’s Paradox”?
A. An effective way to improve people’s reasoning.
B. A theory on how emotions affect decision-making.
C. The phenomenon that one is wiser when helping others.
D. The tendency of being overconfident when advising others.
14. Which group showed better emotional responses in Grossmann’s later study?
A. Those using third-person diaries. B. Those writing to themselves.
C. Those having wise reasoning training. D. Those experiencing stressful events.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The positive psychology of self-distancing
B. Social benefits of illeism in decision-making
C. Evidence-based solution to Solomon’s Paradox
D. Illeism: An ancient trick to help wise reasoning
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了第三人称自指这一古老方法,借助研究者Grossmann的相关研究,阐明该方法能够减轻情绪对判断的干扰,提升明智思考的能力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In an early study, participants voiced responses to difficulties, while psychologists rated their answers. Grossmann found these tests better predicted life satisfaction and social relationship quality than IQ tests, suggesting the studies captured unique reasoning skills.(在早期一项研究中,参与者说出应对困境的看法,心理学家对回答进行评分。Grossmann发现,相比于智商测试,这些测试能更好预判生活满意度和人际关系质量,说明测试衡量了独特的推理能力。)”可知,Grossmann早期研究的核心是衡量明智推理的方式。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Grossmann’s later studies discovered that people’s wise reasoning can depend on the context — their scores tended to be much higher when considering others’ situations than their own. Grossmann called this ‘Solomon’s Paradox’ after the King Solomon, who was famous for giving others wise advice but making poor personal decisions.(Grossmann后续研究发现人们明智推理水平和场景有关,考虑别人处境时得分远高于自身处境。他把该现象命名为‘所罗门悖论’,取名自所罗门王——擅长给他人明智建议,自己做决定却不尽人意。)”可知,所罗门悖论指人们给别人出主意的时候更加理智明智。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Grossmann’s latest studies support this idea: participants who kept a third‑person diary for a month showed greater wise reasoning gains than first‑person writers. Illeism users also reported calmer responses to stressful events, suggesting a more balanced response to daily challenges.(Grossmann最新研究证实了该猜想:坚持一个月写第三人称日记的受试者,明智推理能力提升幅度大于第一人称记录者。使用第三人称自指的人面对压力事件时情绪反应更加平稳。)”可知,写第三人称日记的受试者情绪反馈更好。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Few have proven as useful as the ancient strategy of illeism — the practice of talking about oneself in the third person.(很少有方法能和古老的第三人称自指策略一样奏效——也就是用第三人称来谈论自己。)”、“Yet recent research suggests that illeism can bring real benefits.(但近期研究表明第三人称自指可以带来切实好处。)”以及后文各项实验内容可知,全文围绕illeism展开,介绍这项古老办法有利于提升明智推理的能力,D选项“Illeism: An ancient trick to help wise reasoning(第三人称自指:助力理性思考的古老办法)”最能概括全文大意。
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。
Pothos (绿萝) plants are the perfect houseplants. They grow well with little care, although some care will help them grow best. Use the following methods to turn your plants into full and thick ones.
The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home. ____16____ You can start by removing your plants from their containers. Prepare a new container by placing fresh soil in the bottom. Set your plants on top, and backfill the soil so it covers the roots. Water well. Boom! Your plants have a new home.
After transplanting, check the vines (藤蔓) and look for long ones with few leaves. Cutting them back gives you new pieces to grow more plants. Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems (茎). ____17____ This houseplant grows well in either.
While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering. ____18____ Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water. If it feels dry about an inch or two deep, it’s time to water; if it’s still slightly wet, wait a little longer to avoid overwatering, which can harm the roots and slow growth.
____19____ Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth. If your window lacks bright indirect sunlight, try using grow lights to help the plants grow in dark rooms.
Fertilizing (施肥) also benefits these vines. Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth. ____20____ Your plants will thank you with bright green and shiny leaves that stay on the vines for a long time.
A. Place the lower parts in soil or water.
B. Then, position the plants closer to light.
C. Do so twice a year during the growing season.
D. Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients.
E. Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant.
F. Nevertheless, they still appreciate bright light to grow their best.
G. Try to keep the stems unhurt, but do not worry if any parts fall off.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. E 19. B 20. C

【解析】
【导语】主要讲述了作者在西安观看传统鼓乐《东仓鼓乐》演出的亲身经历与感悟。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:强劲的鼓点响彻剧场,表演者们以完美的节奏用力敲击大鼓。此处为谓语动词,根据前后文时态可知叙述过去发生的事情,要用一般过去时,strike的过去式为struck。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意:这是我今年夏天在西安体验的传统鼓乐表演《东仓鼓乐》的开场片段,它立刻吸引了我的注意力。此处指代前面提到的the opening scene,在句中作主语,所以用人称代词it。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:追溯至唐代,这场鼓乐表演讲述了这门古老艺术历经数个世纪得以留存的不凡故事。此处为固定搭配date from,意为“追溯到”,所以此处为介词from。
【39题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:演出以七十岁的鼓乐大师赵先生介绍这段历史拉开序幕。此处为谓语动词,主语the history和introduce之间为被动关系,文章叙述过去的事情,使用一般过去时的被动语态,其结构为“was/were+过去分词”,主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为was introduced。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:鼓沉稳的节奏与精心编排的动作相结合,营造出浓厚的历史感与秩序感。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词The steady rhythm of the drums指物,从句缺少主语,所以用关系代词which。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着演出继续进行,观众了解到唐朝的衰落迫使宫廷乐师离开皇宫。此处为with复合结构,the performance与go on之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词going。
【42题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:曾经属于宫廷的东西变成了人们能够聆听、学习并且传承的事物。此处引导主语从句,从句中缺少主语,表示“……的事物”,所以用连接代词what,位于句首,首字母需大写。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:其中传递的信息清晰而动人:音乐本就应当被分享。此处为固定搭配be meant to do,意为“理应、本应该”,music和share之间为被动关系,所以用不定式的被动形式to be shared。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:临近尾声,当表演者说出自己练习的岁月时长时,观众深受感动,报以热烈的掌声。介词with后面需要接名词作宾语,applaud的名词形式为applause。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:观看《东仓鼓乐》是一次独特的经历,给我留下了难以磨灭的印象。experience此处为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示“一次独特的经历”为泛指,且unique是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sophia and her best friend, Melody, had been inseparable since middle school. Under the sheltering tree of their friendship, they had shared countless laughs and whispered secrets, though they had different personalities: Sophia preferred quiet reading while Melody loved exploring the new city paths on her old bicycle. Even the strongest trees can be shaken by a sudden storm. One afternoon, a small misunderstanding gathered into a dark cloud that threatened their precious bond.
It began with a crucial literature project that would significantly impact their final grade. Sophia, always the planner, had spent the entire afternoon alone in the quiet classroom preparing their presentation. Her fingers moved quickly and skillfully across the keyboard as she arranged slides and typed notes. Each slide was filled with strong arguments and well-chosen pictures that showed how hard she had worked. As evening approached, painting the classroom windows in shades of orange and grey, she kept looking at the clock. Her worry grew with every minute. Melody was late again. The empty chair beside her seemed to laugh at her, making her feel both lonely and angry at the same time.
When Melody finally rushed in, breathless and upset, her explanation came out as a confused mix of words. “I’m so sorry, but my...” she began, only to be cut off by Sophia whose patience had run out. “Something always happens with you! Do you ever stop to consider how your actions affect others?”
The sharp words flew out, and Melody’s initially apologetic expression hardened instantly. “And you always have to control everything! It’s so tiring trying to meet your perfect standards!” she shot back, her voice shaking with strong emotion. The air in the room became thick and difficult to breathe, filled with their hurt feelings and wounded pride. They picked up their books in angry silence, the half-finished project now representing the broken foundation of their friendship. Walking home on different sides of the street, the setting sun created two separate shadows stretching behind them — a perfect picture of the sudden space that had grown between them.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: That night, Sophia lay in bed, worried about their relationship and the project. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: The next day, Melody arrived early at the cafe, hoping to continue her interrupted explanation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version:
That night, Sophia lay in bed, worried about their relationship and the project. Tossing and turning for hours, she couldn’t stop replaying their bitter argument. A wave of guilt washed over her as she thought about how she had cut Melody off without letting her explain. Staring at the half-finished slides, she remembered all the creative ideas Melody had contributed. With a heavy heart, she realized her pursuit of perfection had hurt the person who cared about her most. She picked up her phone and sent Melody a message, asking to meet at the cafe the next day.
The next day, Melody arrived early at the cafe, hoping to continue her interrupted explanation. She sat nervously, twisting a crumpled hospital receipt in her hand. To her surprise, Sophia walked in ten minutes early and apologized sincerely for her rudeness. Tears in her eyes, Melody explained that her neighbor grandma had fallen and she had rushed her to the hospital. Relieved and regretful, they hugged tightly. They spent the rest of the morning finishing the project together, knowing their friendship had grown stronger through this misunderstanding.

Maya’s dreams were not gentle. They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her accounting textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby,” a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand.
The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion (反抗).
Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary. The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for!
Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.
After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.”
Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived.
4. What is the root of Maya’s inner struggle?
A. Choosing between two stable jobs. B. Living a double life between work and family.
C. Balancing her dream with family’s expectations. D. Seeking a balance between reality and fantasy.
5. What does the underlined word “complied” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Obeyed. B. Panicked. C. Protested. D. Wondered.
6. What might Maya learn from her submission experience?
A. Getting published isn’t hard. B. Standing your ground is a virtue.
C. You have to pay a fee to get recognized. D. You have to compromise sometimes to succeed.
7. What is Maya’s advice to the teenagers?
A. Choose proper material. B. Turn storms into stories.
C. Build castle before dreaming. D. Dream big and dare to fail.
C
In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients, rather than artificial ones. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food has not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
8. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A. To reduce waste in the food industry.
B. To improve the taste of processed foods.
C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
9. What was the primary aim of the microbiological evaluation?
A. To find the substances cashew nut contains. B. To analyse the changes in pH and water activity.
C. To ensure the safety of refrigerated beef. D. To check the effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria.
10. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A. It can improve meat quality over time.
B. Its concentration affects the storage life.
C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process.
D. It performs best at room temperature.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Fully convinced.
C. Hesitant and doubtful. D. Neutral and objective.
D
As a psychology writer, I’ve come across hundreds of evidence-based tips for better thinking. Few have proven as useful as the ancient strategy of illeism — the practice of talking about oneself in the third person. To the modern era, illeism can sound a little silly. Yet recent research suggests that illeism can bring real benefits.
To understand why, we must examine how scientists measure wise reasoning. Igor Grossmann, a leading researcher in wisdom, identified qualities like humbleness, openness to others’ views and adaptability. In an early study, participants voiced responses to difficulties, while psychologists rated their answers. Grossmann found these tests better predicted life satisfaction and social relationship quality than IQ tests, suggesting the studies captured unique reasoning skills.
Grossmann’s later studies discovered that people’s wise reasoning can depend on the context — their scores tended to be much higher when considering others’ situations than their own. Grossmann called this “Solomon’s Paradox” after the King Solomon, who was famous for giving others wise advice but making poor personal decisions. The problem seems to be that when making personal choices, emotions cloud our judgment. If a friend gives me negative feedback, for example, embarrassment might make me too defensive. I might therefore ignore their opinions without considering whether they could be helpful in the long-term.
Could illeism solve Solomon’s Paradox? The idea makes sense: switching to the third person allows us to see the bigger picture, rather than getting caught up in our own feelings. Grossmann’s latest studies support this idea: participants who kept a third-person diary for a month showed greater wise reasoning gains than first-person writers. Illeism users also reported calmer responses to stressful events, suggesting a more balanced response to daily challenges.
Based on these findings, I now apply illeism to all decisions, small and big. I find that a few moments to view my problems from a third-person perspective helps me to see the issue more clearly.
12. What is the focus of Grossmann’s first study?
A. How psychologists rated social skills. B. How wise reasoning was assessed.
C. How IQ tests predicted life satisfaction. D. How participants solved tough problems.
13. What is “Solomon’s Paradox”?
A. An effective way to improve people’s reasoning.
B. A theory on how emotions affect decision-making.
C. The phenomenon that one is wiser when helping others.
D. The tendency of being overconfident when advising others.
14. Which group showed better emotional responses in Grossmann’s later study?
A. Those using third-person diaries. B. Those writing to themselves.
C. Those having wise reasoning training. D. Those experiencing stressful events.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The positive psychology of self-distancing
B. Social benefits of illeism in decision-making
C. Evidence-based solution to Solomon’s Paradox
D. Illeism: An ancient trick to help wise reasoning

Pothos (绿萝) plants are the perfect houseplants. They grow well with little care, although some care will help them grow best. Use the following methods to turn your plants into full and thick ones.
The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home. ____16____ You can start by removing your plants from their containers. Prepare a new container by placing fresh soil in the bottom. Set your plants on top, and backfill the soil so it covers the roots. Water well. Boom! Your plants have a new home.
After transplanting, check the vines (藤蔓) and look for long ones with few leaves. Cutting them back gives you new pieces to grow more plants. Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems (茎). ____17____ This houseplant grows well in either.
While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering. ____18____ Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water. If it feels dry about an inch or two deep, it’s time to water; if it’s still slightly wet, wait a little longer to avoid overwatering, which can harm the roots and slow growth.
____19____ Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth. If your window lacks bright indirect sunlight, try using grow lights to help the plants grow in dark rooms.
Fertilizing (施肥) also benefits these vines. Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth. ____20____ Your plants will thank you with bright green and shiny leaves that stay on the vines for a long time.
A. Place the lower parts in soil or water.
B. Then, position the plants closer to light.
C. Do so twice a year during the growing season.
D. Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients.
E. Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant.
F. Nevertheless, they still appreciate bright light to grow their best.
G. Try to keep the stems unhurt, but do not worry if any parts fall off.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sophia and her best friend, Melody, had been inseparable since middle school. Under the sheltering tree of their friendship, they had shared countless laughs and whispered secrets, though they had different personalities: Sophia preferred quiet reading while Melody loved exploring the new city paths on her old bicycle. Even the strongest trees can be shaken by a sudden storm. One afternoon, a small misunderstanding gathered into a dark cloud that threatened their precious bond.
It began with a crucial literature project that would significantly impact their final grade. Sophia, always the planner, had spent the entire afternoon alone in the quiet classroom preparing their presentation. Her fingers moved quickly and skillfully across the keyboard as she arranged slides and typed notes. Each slide was filled with strong arguments and well-chosen pictures that showed how hard she had worked. As evening approached, painting the classroom windows in shades of orange and grey, she kept looking at the clock. Her worry grew with every minute. Melody was late again. The empty chair beside her seemed to laugh at her, making her feel both lonely and angry at the same time.
When Melody finally rushed in, breathless and upset, her explanation came out as a confused mix of words. “I’m so sorry, but my...” she began, only to be cut off by Sophia whose patience had run out. “Something always happens with you! Do you ever stop to consider how your actions affect others?”
The sharp words flew out, and Melody’s initially apologetic expression hardened instantly. “And you always have to control everything! It’s so tiring trying to meet your perfect standards!” she shot back, her voice shaking with strong emotion. The air in the room became thick and difficult to breathe, filled with their hurt feelings and wounded pride. They picked up their books in angry silence, the half-finished project now representing the broken foundation of their friendship. Walking home on different sides of the street, the setting sun created two separate shadows stretching behind them — a perfect picture of the sudden space that had grown between them.
