Liu Bao Oscar, who is a 26-year-old Hungarian student at LNUTCM, caught most people's attention. Liu’s journey from Hungary to LNUTCM was not just academic but also personal. As a child, Liu often struggled with digestive issues, and Western medicine offered little relief. His father applied traditional Chinese medicinal patches(贴片) to Liu’s belly button. Several months later, Liu's condition improved significantly. In 2019, driven by admiration for his father, Liu left Hungary for China. During his studies, Liu’s understanding of TCM broadened and deepened. He learned that the medical stickers his father used contained herbs believed to have warming effects, perfectly suited to his cold-induced digestive issues. “It all made sense once I understood the theory,” he said.“It’s not magic — it’s science.” This realization marked a turning point for Liu. He began applying what he had learned to his own condition. Among the many ancient texts he studied, Huangdi Neijing resonated most deeply with him, especially the principle of nourishing yang energy in spring and summer, and yin energy in autumn and winter. To preserve his yang energy, Liu made a significant lifestyle change. “I haven’t eaten ice cream in three years,” he said. “It’s a small sacrifice (牺牲) to maintain my health.” The night market offered Liu an opportunity to see TCM in action outside the classroom. He eagerly engaged in various activities. Over the three days, the market saw more than 55,000 people receiving treatments like acupuncture (针灸) and cupping. The number was quite large, and the market also attracted a lot of people outside the University. About 100,000 people participated in cultural activities, from tea tastings to making herbal remedies. For Liu, the event boosted his desire to bring this knowledge back to Hungary after graduation. “I want more people to understand, to accept and to benefit from TCM,” Liu said. Reflecting on his journey, Liu sees himself as part of a larger narrative. 24．(2.5分)What can be learned about the Western medicine treatment for Liu’s digestive issues? A．It was convenient. B．It was expensive. C．It was helpful sometimes. D．It was largely ineffective. 25．(2.5分)What mainly motivated Liu to study TCM in China? A．Family influence. B．Cultural curiosity. C．Job opportunities. D．Academic scholarships. 26．(2.5分)What can we infer from the TCM night market? A．TCM needs more practice. B．TCM is very popular. C．Its aim was to attract foreigners. D．It provided knowledge of yin and yang. 27．(2.5分)What is Liu’s plan after completing his studies in China? A．Opening a clinic in China. B．Conducting research in Hungary. C．Becoming a professor at LNUTCM. D．Promoting TCM in his home country. 【答案】24．D 25．A 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了匈牙利留学生刘宝奥斯卡因幼年受益于中医，后赴中国辽宁中医药大学求学，通过理论学习与实践体验深化对中医的理解，并立志将中医带回祖国推广的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a child, Liu often struggled with digestive issues, and Western medicine offered little relief.(童年时，刘常受消化问题困扰，而西医药效甚微。)”可知，西医治疗对他的消化问题基本无效。故选D。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2019, driven by admiration for his father, Liu left Hungary for China.(2019年，出于对父亲的钦佩，刘离开匈牙利前往中国。)”可知，家庭影响是他来华学中医的主要动力。故选A。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Over the three days, the market saw more than 55,000 people receiving treatments like acupuncture and cupping.(三天内，超过5.5万人接受了针灸、拔罐等治疗)”和“About 100,000 people participated in cultural activities(约10万人参与了文化活动)”可知，参与人数众多，活动反响热烈，可推断中医非常受欢迎。故选B。 27．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For Liu, the event boosted his desire to bring this knowledge back to Hungary after graduation．‘I want more people to understand, to accept and to benefit from TCM,’ Liu said.(对刘而言，此次活动更坚定了他毕业后将中医知识带回匈牙利的愿望。他说：‘我希望更多人理解、接受并受益于中医。’)”可知，刘的计划是在祖国匈牙利推广中医。故选D。 （本题10分）Plant‑based meats are coming soon to a dinner table near you, but do they deserve a spot on your plate? If you tried a vegetable burger years ago and dismissed it as rubbery and flavorless, it’s a good time to give meatless meat another chance. Newer varieties imitate the look, flavor, and texture of meat. Analysts don’t expect the meat‑free movement to slow anytime soon; a 2021 report predicts the market will skyrocket to $74 billion by 2030 — a 957 percent surge. Plant‑based meats are no longer just for vegetarians. Companies such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat — the current superstars of the alternative protein sector — are pursuing consumers who enjoy meat but want to reduce their meat consumption for animal rights, health, or environmental reasons. So far, it’s a winning strategy: More than nine out of ten consumers who buy Beyond Burger and Impossible Foods products also eat meat. Many vegetarians don’t actually care for food that resembles meat. When reporter Joan Solsman, a longtime vegetarian, tried a dish from Impossible Foods, she felt so sick that she couldn’t finish it. “Maybe the best sign that Impossible Foods has cracked the code to realistic fake meat is that I couldn’t stand to take another bite,” she wrote. Meatless meats are generally a healthier choice than beef because they are cholesterol‑free, plus they’re a good source of vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber. If meatless meat can help you stick to a plant‑based diet, that in itself can lead to better health. Not only has red meat been linked to cancer, but studies show that people who ditch meat have lower blood pressure, lower average blood sugar, and lower cholesterol levels. However, just because it’s plant‑based doesn’t mean it’s health food. Most imitation meats are highly processed and contain high amounts of sodium (钠) compared to traditional beef. These new generations of alternate meat get all the attention, but don’t forget about whole grains and vegetables. Beans are an especially excellent protein substitute. They’re nutritious, inexpensive, and far more sustainable than any of the processed meatless substitutes on the market today. 28．(2.5分)It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that the plant‑based meat sector will ________. A．devote abundant resources to its promotion B．undergo continuous renewal of its product types C．witness a dramatic expansion in overall market scale D．harvest widespread attention from economic analyses 29．(2.5分)What can we conclude about Impossible Foods’ products from Joan Solsman’s remark? A．They more often appeal to meat‑eaters. B．They very much resemble animal meat. C．Some have become its signature dishes. D．Most of them are sold as true fake meat. 30．(2.5分)Why can the habit of eating a plant‑based diet lead to better health? A．It frees people from any known link to cancer. B．It provides all the nutrients for staying healthy. C．It helps maintain normal blood pressure and blood sugar. D．It reduces various health risks posed by meat consumption. 31．(2.5分)What does the author recommend we eat at the end of the passage? A．Naturally produced foods. B．Processed protein substitutes. C．Red meats like traditional beef. D．New generations of alternate meat. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．D 31．A 【导语】主要介绍人造植物肉的市场前景、消费群体，分析它的利弊，同时建议多食用天然谷物与蔬菜。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Analysts don’t expect the meat‑free movement to slow anytime soon; a 2021 report predicts the market will skyrocket to $74 billion by 2030 — a 957 percent surge.(分析师预计无肉饮食浪潮不会很快放缓；一份2021年报告预测，到2030年市场规模将猛增至740亿美元，涨幅高达957%。)”可知，植物肉行业整体市场规模将会急剧扩张。 29．推理判断题。根据第四段中的““Maybe the best sign that Impossible Foods has cracked the code to realistic fake meat is that I couldn’t stand to take another bite,” she wrote.(她写道：“或许Impossible Foods破解了高仿人造肉密码的最好证明就是我一口都不想再多吃。”)”可知，这位长期素食者难以接受该产品，侧面说明产品十分逼真，高度酷似动物肉类，因此Joan Solsman的话语表明该产品非常像动物肉。 30．细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Not only has red meat been linked to cancer, but studies show that people who ditch meat have lower blood pressure, lower average blood sugar, and lower cholesterol levels.(红肉不仅和癌症相关，研究还表明不吃肉的人血压、平均血糖以及胆固醇水平更低。)”可知，坚持植物性饮食能够减少吃肉带来的各类健康风险。 31．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“These new generations of alternate meat get all the attention, but don’t forget about whole grains and vegetables．Beans are an especially excellent protein substitute．They’re nutritious, inexpensive, and far more sustainable than any of the processed meatless substitutes on the market today.(新一代替代肉类备受关注，但不要忘记全谷物和蔬菜。豆类是极佳的蛋白质替代品，营养丰富、价格低廉，远比市面上各类加工植物肉更具备可持续性。)”可知，作者在文章末尾建议食用全谷物、豆类等天然食物，因此天然生产的食物是作者推荐食用的对象。 （本题10分）The Wuyi Mountains are located in the northwest of Fujian Province. The mountains rise over 9,000 feet above sea level and are known as the “Roof of Fujian”. Nine streams flow through the region, creating a wonderful view. The Wuyi Mountains are not only known for their natural beauty but also for the tea they produce. Before the Song Dynasty, the most famous tea came from Beiyuan in Jianzhou. Later, Wuyi Rock Tea won recognition from officials in the capital. As a result, Wuyi Rock Tea replaced Beiyuan tea in popularity. The Wuyi Rock Tea grows in the unpolluted mountains. Its nature is gentle and not overly cold, and it can be stored for a long time. The longer it is stored, the clearer its flavor becomes and the better its taste. In terms of medicinal benefits, it refreshes the mind, reduces worries, cleanses the body, and so on. Regular consumption (饮用) is considered a health choice. The production of rock tea was firstly started by residents in the mountains. Later, local residents took up the practice, but it was the tea businessmen from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou who truly developed and enlarged the industry. Every spring, these businessmen would bring money and travel north along the river to manage the picking and processing (加工) of tea. By early autumn, they would pack their goods and return downstream. Regarding the harvesting and processing techniques, tea leaves are only picked at the right time of year, no more than once. The harvested leaves are sorted using a screening method to separate them by size before processing. Furthermore, the processing is all done by hand. Only leaves that have the desired red edges (边缘) and green centers are considered top-quality. Since tea plants are long-lived crops, with proper care and suitable environmental conditions, they can survive for centuries. There are countless good varieties (品种) in the Wuyi Mountains, which could provide valuable resources for breeding (育种) research. If these varieties were studied and selectively bred, it could make a great contribution to the tea industry. 32．(2.5分)What lifted Wuyi Rock Tea’s popularity to a new height? A．Great growing environment. B．High production and sales. C．Increased taste and quality. D．Praises from capital officials. 33．(2.5分)What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The growth of Wuyi Rock Tea plants. B．The advantages of Wuyi Rock Tea. C．The storage of Wuyi Rock Tea. D．The effects of tea consumption. 34．(2.5分)What drove the industrialization of Wuyi Rock Tea? A．The exploration of local people. B．The money from the government. C．The efforts of southern traders. D．The spread of processing techniques. 35．(2.5分)How do tea plants from the Wuyi Mountains benefit the tea industry? A．By providing better tastes. B．By producing more leaves. C．By providing excellent varieties. D．By attracting valuable resources. 【答案】32．D 33．B 34．C 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍福建武夷山的自然概况，讲述武夷岩茶的发展历程、自身优势、产业发展推动者及制作工艺，还说明其茶树种质资源对茶业的价值。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Later, Wuyi Rock Tea won recognition from officials in the capital．As a result, Wuyi Rock Tea replaced Beiyuan tea in popularity.(后来，武夷岩茶得到了京城官员的认可。因此，武夷岩茶在受欢迎程度上取代了北苑茶。)”可知，京城官员的赞誉让武夷岩茶的受欢迎程度上升到了新的高度。故选D项。 33．主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The Wuyi Rock Tea grows in the unpolluted mountains．Its nature is gentle and not overly cold, and it can be stored for a long time．The longer it is stored, the clearer its flavor becomes and the better its taste．In terms of medicinal benefits, it refreshes the mind, reduces worries, cleanses the body, and so on.(武夷岩茶生长在无污染的山区。其性质温和，不偏寒，且能长期储存。储存时间越长，滋味越醇正，口感越好。在药用功效方面，它能提神醒脑、舒缓烦忧、清理身体等。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了武夷岩茶的各项优势。故选B项。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Later, local residents took up the practice, but it was the tea businessmen from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou who truly developed and enlarged the industry.(后来，当地居民也开始从事这项工作，但真正发展并壮大这个产业的是来自漳州和泉州的茶商。)”可知，闽南漳州、泉州茶商的努力推动了武夷岩茶的产业化发展。故选C项。 35．细节理解题。根据第六段中的“There are countless good varieties (品种) in the Wuyi Mountains, which could provide valuable resources for breeding (育种) research．If these varieties were studied and selectively bred, it could make a great contribution to the tea industry.(武夷山上有无数优良的茶树品种，这些品种能为育种研究提供宝贵的资源。若对这些品种进行研究和选育，能为茶业发展作出巨大贡献。)”可知，武夷山的茶树能为茶业提供优良的品种，从而推动茶业发展。故选C项。 （本题12.5分）In our culture, popcorn and movies just go together. The association is so strong, in fact, that people joke about wanting to get some popcorn to snack on whenever there’s an entertaining show to watch. ____36(2.5分)____ You might be surprised to learn something about popcorn and early cinemas. The steam-powered popcorn maker was invented in the late 1800s. Soon popcorn grew popular at fairs, circuses and outdoor sports events. ____37(2.5分)____ According to the Smithsonian, theater owners had many worries. They feared loose popcorn bits would ruin carpets and soft seat coverings. Besides, loud chewing sounds would disturb viewers. ____38(2.5分)____ Any eating noise would easily pull people’s attention away from the screen. Two factors led to popcorn’s takeover as movie-goers’ snack of choice. One was the introduction of films with sound in 1927. It increased the mass appeal of movies and also lessened concerns about distracting background noises. The second was the start of the Great Depression (大萧条). ____39(2.5分)____ Popcorn was a good choice because it was cheap and could be stored for a long time. Theaters that sold popcorn not only weathered the storm of the Depression, but saw their profits increase, while theaters refusing to do that struggled. World War II strengthened the association between movies and popcorn that the Depression started. ____40(2.5分)____ However, popcorn remained easy to get and just as tasty as ever. By the end of the 1940s, the idea of watching a movie was closely linked with eating popcorn in people’s imagination. Today, even if you’re having a movie night at home instead of going to a theater, you might find that the experience just doesn’t feel right without popcorn. A．Back then, all movies were silent. B．Can popcorn truly enhance a movie night? C．People would pass popcorn around and share it. D．However, it was nowhere to be found in movie theaters. E．Shortages of sugar made many sweet snacks unavailable. F．Many theaters tried to make some profits by selling snacks.

(你可能会惊讶地了解到关于爆米花和早期电影院的一些冷知识。)”可知，上文点明了爆米花和电影的强关联，下文转而介绍二者在早期影院的发展历史，本空需要引出对这种关联起源的疑问。G选项“但爆米花和电影之间的这种联系究竟是如何形成的呢？”能承上启下，符合语境。 37．由上文“The steam-powered popcorn maker was invented in the late 1800s．Soon popcorn grew popular at fairs, circuses and outdoor sports events．(蒸汽动力爆米花机发明于19世纪末，很快爆米花就在集市、马戏团和户外体育赛事中流行起来。)”及下文“According to the Smithsonian, theater owners had many worries．They feared loose popcorn bits would ruin carpets and soft seat coverings．(根据史密森尼学会的资料，影院老板们有很多顾虑，他们担心散落的爆米花渣会损坏地毯和软质座椅套。)”可知，上文讲爆米花在各类户外场合走红，下文转而说明早期影院对爆米花的排斥态度，本空需要形成语义转折，点明爆米花当时并未进入影院。D选项“然而，在电影院里根本找不到它的身影。”能承上启下，符合语境。 38．由上文“Besides, loud chewing sounds would disturb viewers．(除此之外，响亮的咀嚼声会打扰到其他观众。)”及下文“Any eating noise would easily pull people’s attention away from the screen．(任何进食的噪音都很容易把观众的注意力从屏幕上移开。)”可知，上下文都在强调早期影院排斥爆米花的核心原因——进食噪音会干扰观影，本空需要补充当时影院的观影环境背景，解释噪音为何会造成严重影响。A选项“在那个时期，所有的电影都是无声的。”能承上启下，符合语境。 39．由上文“The second was the start of the Great Depression (大萧条)．(第二个因素是大萧条的开启。)”及下文“Popcorn was a good choice because it was cheap and could be stored for a long time．(爆米花是绝佳选择，因为它价格低廉且可以长期储存。)”可知，上文点明大萧条是推动爆米花普及的关键节点，下文说明爆米花的优势，本空需要补充大萧条时期影院的经营选择背景。F选项“许多影院试图通过售卖零食来获取利润。”能承上启下，符合语境。 40．由上文“World War II strengthened the association between movies and popcorn that the Depression started．(二战进一步强化了大萧条时期就开始形成的电影与爆米花的关联。)”及下文“However, popcorn remained easy to get and just as tasty as ever．(然而，爆米花依然容易买到，口感也一如既往地好。)”可知，上文陈述电影与爆米花的关联加强，下文描述爆米花依然容易买到，本空需要说明二战时期多数零食面临的供应困境，反衬爆米花的优势。E选项“糖的短缺让很多甜味零食都买不到了。”能承上启下，符合语境。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Noodles are a staple (主食) in Chinese cuisine.

However, it troubled me a lot, making my study life there full of twists. For me, a Chinese student, I made it a daily must to use chopsticks. When I ate in the school canteen every day, chopsticks helped me enjoy food happily. However, it was just then that the foreign classmates surrounded me immediately, looked at me with curiosity and whispered in confusion: “My goodness, the strange chopsticks!” At first, I would smile and briefly tell them how to use chopsticks. But with the thing staying unchanged, the stranger my classmates felt, the more uncomfortable I felt. It was the cultural difference that made it. Eventually, I doubted if I would give up using chopsticks and learn to use a knife and fork instead. Once we had a dinner, everyone sat in the restaurant. I couldn’t help reaching out for chopsticks. Mike, who was in the same group, saw this and shouted excitedly, “Look, the strange chopsticks!” As he spoke, he took a pair of chopsticks and awkwardly used them. But before the food was picked up, the chopsticks dropped on the floor. The chaotic laughing exploded while my face was flushed with embarrassment. Eating with my head lowered, I was in low spirits. I came to realize that in their opinion, chopsticks were just a strange tool, and my using chopsticks here simply became a laughing stock (笑柄). Nevertheless, I loved chopsticks carrying Chinese traditional culture from the bottom of my heart. As time went by, others kept misunderstanding chopsticks. I smiled casually, but deep down I worried that using them would never be accepted here. And I tried to avoid using chopsticks in public, even learned to use knife and fork in the following days. To my great surprise, the school expected everyone to prepare for the annually-held culture-sharing event. I was at a loss. 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。 The culture-sharing event was approaching. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was well prepared to share the chopsticks culture in the event. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The culture-sharing event was approaching. It warmly welcomed the exchange students to take part. I imagined what a golden opportunity it was to show Chinese chopsticks culture! Hesitant and indecisive, I was deeply torn. At the thought of chopsticks carrying Chinese culture, I felt my indecisiveness disappearing all at once. “Why not remove my classmates’ misunderstanding and clear their confusion?” lingered in my mind. Subsequently, I was busying myself composing a speech on Chinese chopsticks. Time flying like an arrow, the event eventually kicked off. I was well prepared to share the chopsticks culture in the event. The enthusiastic classmates surrounding me tightly were listening with the intense interest twinkling in their eyes. Abruptly, Mike said “I misunderstood you. Now, I know chopsticks carry Chinese culture.” “Surely, chopsticks symbolize harmony, unity and coexistence,” responded I. Seeing everyone immersed in the ocean of happiness, I felt a wave of warmth coursing through me. I came to know that the culture-sharing event really meant promoting the cross-cultural communication and bridging the cultural divide. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了中国留学生在澳大利亚坚持使用筷子，却屡遭外国同学围观、嘲笑，被视为"奇怪工具"。一次晚餐上同学迈克尝试用筷子失败引来哄笑，作者深感尴尬，逐渐改用刀叉、回避公开使用筷子。然而学校突然宣布举办年度文化分享活动，作者在犹豫与纠结中，最终决定借此机会展示筷子背后的中国传统文化，在活动中消除误解、赢得理解。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者面对活动契机的心理转变，从犹豫纠结到下定决心借助活动科普筷子文化，进而积极筹备分享演讲稿的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者现场分享的场景、同学态度的转变、迈克的真诚致歉，以及作者最终领悟文化交流、打破隔阂的真谛。 2． 续写线索： 活动临近——内心纠结——坚定初心——积极筹备演讲——现场分享文化——同学改观致歉——领悟文化交流意义 3． 词汇激活 行为类 ①消失：disappear/vanish ②专心筹备：busy oneself doing / prepare thoroughly 情绪类 ①热情的：enthusiastic/fervent ②温暖动容：feel a wave of warmth /feel heartwarming 【点睛】【高分句型1】Hesitant and indecisive, I was deeply torn.

Liu Bao Oscar, who is a 26-year-old Hungarian student at LNUTCM, caught most people's attention. Liu’s journey from Hungary to LNUTCM was not just academic but also personal. As a child, Liu often struggled with digestive issues, and Western medicine offered little relief. His father applied traditional Chinese medicinal patches(贴片) to Liu’s belly button. Several months later, Liu's condition improved significantly. In 2019, driven by admiration for his father, Liu left Hungary for China. During his studies, Liu’s understanding of TCM broadened and deepened. He learned that the medical stickers his father used contained herbs believed to have warming effects, perfectly suited to his cold-induced digestive issues. “It all made sense once I understood the theory,” he said.“It’s not magic — it’s science.” This realization marked a turning point for Liu. He began applying what he had learned to his own condition. Among the many ancient texts he studied, Huangdi Neijing resonated most deeply with him, especially the principle of nourishing yang energy in spring and summer, and yin energy in autumn and winter. To preserve his yang energy, Liu made a significant lifestyle change. “I haven’t eaten ice cream in three years,” he said. “It’s a small sacrifice (牺牲) to maintain my health.” The night market offered Liu an opportunity to see TCM in action outside the classroom. He eagerly engaged in various activities. Over the three days, the market saw more than 55,000 people receiving treatments like acupuncture (针灸) and cupping. The number was quite large, and the market also attracted a lot of people outside the University. About 100,000 people participated in cultural activities, from tea tastings to making herbal remedies. For Liu, the event boosted his desire to bring this knowledge back to Hungary after graduation. “I want more people to understand, to accept and to benefit from TCM,” Liu said. Reflecting on his journey, Liu sees himself as part of a larger narrative. 24．(2.5分)What can be learned about the Western medicine treatment for Liu’s digestive issues? A．It was convenient. B．It was expensive. C．It was helpful sometimes. D．It was largely ineffective. 25．(2.5分)What mainly motivated Liu to study TCM in China? A．Family influence. B．Cultural curiosity. C．Job opportunities. D．Academic scholarships. 26．(2.5分)What can we infer from the TCM night market? A．TCM needs more practice. B．TCM is very popular. C．Its aim was to attract foreigners. D．It provided knowledge of yin and yang. 27．(2.5分)What is Liu’s plan after completing his studies in China? A．Opening a clinic in China. B．Conducting research in Hungary. C．Becoming a professor at LNUTCM. D．Promoting TCM in his home country. （本题10分）Plant‑based meats are coming soon to a dinner table near you, but do they deserve a spot on your plate? If you tried a vegetable burger years ago and dismissed it as rubbery and flavorless, it’s a good time to give meatless meat another chance. Newer varieties imitate the look, flavor, and texture of meat. Analysts don’t expect the meat‑free movement to slow anytime soon; a 2021 report predicts the market will skyrocket to $74 billion by 2030 — a 957 percent surge. Plant‑based meats are no longer just for vegetarians. Companies such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat — the current superstars of the alternative protein sector — are pursuing consumers who enjoy meat but want to reduce their meat consumption for animal rights, health, or environmental reasons. So far, it’s a winning strategy: More than nine out of ten consumers who buy Beyond Burger and Impossible Foods products also eat meat. Many vegetarians don’t actually care for food that resembles meat. When reporter Joan Solsman, a longtime vegetarian, tried a dish from Impossible Foods, she felt so sick that she couldn’t finish it. “Maybe the best sign that Impossible Foods has cracked the code to realistic fake meat is that I couldn’t stand to take another bite,” she wrote. Meatless meats are generally a healthier choice than beef because they are cholesterol‑free, plus they’re a good source of vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber. If meatless meat can help you stick to a plant‑based diet, that in itself can lead to better health. Not only has red meat been linked to cancer, but studies show that people who ditch meat have lower blood pressure, lower average blood sugar, and lower cholesterol levels. However, just because it’s plant‑based doesn’t mean it’s health food. Most imitation meats are highly processed and contain high amounts of sodium (钠) compared to traditional beef. These new generations of alternate meat get all the attention, but don’t forget about whole grains and vegetables. Beans are an especially excellent protein substitute. They’re nutritious, inexpensive, and far more sustainable than any of the processed meatless substitutes on the market today. 28．(2.5分)It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that the plant‑based meat sector will ________. A．devote abundant resources to its promotion B．undergo continuous renewal of its product types C．witness a dramatic expansion in overall market scale D．harvest widespread attention from economic analyses 29．(2.5分)What can we conclude about Impossible Foods’ products from Joan Solsman’s remark? A．They more often appeal to meat‑eaters. B．They very much resemble animal meat. C．Some have become its signature dishes. D．Most of them are sold as true fake meat. 30．(2.5分)Why can the habit of eating a plant‑based diet lead to better health? A．It frees people from any known link to cancer. B．It provides all the nutrients for staying healthy. C．It helps maintain normal blood pressure and blood sugar. D．It reduces various health risks posed by meat consumption. 31．(2.5分)What does the author recommend we eat at the end of the passage? A．Naturally produced foods. B．Processed protein substitutes. C．Red meats like traditional beef. D．New generations of alternate meat. （本题10分）The Wuyi Mountains are located in the northwest of Fujian Province. The mountains rise over 9,000 feet above sea level and are known as the “Roof of Fujian”. Nine streams flow through the region, creating a wonderful view. The Wuyi Mountains are not only known for their natural beauty but also for the tea they produce. Before the Song Dynasty, the most famous tea came from Beiyuan in Jianzhou. Later, Wuyi Rock Tea won recognition from officials in the capital. As a result, Wuyi Rock Tea replaced Beiyuan tea in popularity. The Wuyi Rock Tea grows in the unpolluted mountains. Its nature is gentle and not overly cold, and it can be stored for a long time. The longer it is stored, the clearer its flavor becomes and the better its taste. In terms of medicinal benefits, it refreshes the mind, reduces worries, cleanses the body, and so on. Regular consumption (饮用) is considered a health choice. The production of rock tea was firstly started by residents in the mountains. Later, local residents took up the practice, but it was the tea businessmen from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou who truly developed and enlarged the industry. Every spring, these businessmen would bring money and travel north along the river to manage the picking and processing (加工) of tea. By early autumn, they would pack their goods and return downstream. Regarding the harvesting and processing techniques, tea leaves are only picked at the right time of year, no more than once. The harvested leaves are sorted using a screening method to separate them by size before processing. Furthermore, the processing is all done by hand. Only leaves that have the desired red edges (边缘) and green centers are considered top-quality. Since tea plants are long-lived crops, with proper care and suitable environmental conditions, they can survive for centuries. There are countless good varieties (品种) in the Wuyi Mountains, which could provide valuable resources for breeding (育种) research. If these varieties were studied and selectively bred, it could make a great contribution to the tea industry. 32．(2.5分)What lifted Wuyi Rock Tea’s popularity to a new height? A．Great growing environment. B．High production and sales. C．Increased taste and quality. D．Praises from capital officials. 33．(2.5分)What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The growth of Wuyi Rock Tea plants. B．The advantages of Wuyi Rock Tea. C．The storage of Wuyi Rock Tea. D．The effects of tea consumption. 34．(2.5分)What drove the industrialization of Wuyi Rock Tea? A．The exploration of local people. B．The money from the government. C．The efforts of southern traders. D．The spread of processing techniques. 35．(2.5分)How do tea plants from the Wuyi Mountains benefit the tea industry? A．By providing better tastes. B．By producing more leaves. C．By providing excellent varieties. D．By attracting valuable resources. （本题12.5分）In our culture, popcorn and movies just go together. The association is so strong, in fact, that people joke about wanting to get some popcorn to snack on whenever there’s an entertaining show to watch. ____36(2.5分)____ You might be surprised to learn something about popcorn and early cinemas. The steam-powered popcorn maker was invented in the late 1800s. Soon popcorn grew popular at fairs, circuses and outdoor sports events. ____37(2.5分)____ According to the Smithsonian, theater owners had many worries. They feared loose popcorn bits would ruin carpets and soft seat coverings. Besides, loud chewing sounds would disturb viewers. ____38(2.5分)____ Any eating noise would easily pull people’s attention away from the screen. Two factors led to popcorn’s takeover as movie-goers’ snack of choice. One was the introduction of films with sound in 1927. It increased the mass appeal of movies and also lessened concerns about distracting background noises. The second was the start of the Great Depression (大萧条). ____39(2.5分)____ Popcorn was a good choice because it was cheap and could be stored for a long time. Theaters that sold popcorn not only weathered the storm of the Depression, but saw their profits increase, while theaters refusing to do that struggled. World War II strengthened the association between movies and popcorn that the Depression started. ____40(2.5分)____ However, popcorn remained easy to get and just as tasty as ever. By the end of the 1940s, the idea of watching a movie was closely linked with eating popcorn in people’s imagination. Today, even if you’re having a movie night at home instead of going to a theater, you might find that the experience just doesn’t feel right without popcorn. A．Back then, all movies were silent. B．Can popcorn truly enhance a movie night? C．People would pass popcorn around and share it. D．However, it was nowhere to be found in movie theaters. E．Shortages of sugar made many sweet snacks unavailable. F．Many theaters tried to make some profits by selling snacks. G．But how did the link between popcorn and movies come to be? 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Noodles are a staple (主食) in Chinese cuisine.

However, it troubled me a lot, making my study life there full of twists. For me, a Chinese student, I made it a daily must to use chopsticks. When I ate in the school canteen every day, chopsticks helped me enjoy food happily. However, it was just then that the foreign classmates surrounded me immediately, looked at me with curiosity and whispered in confusion: “My goodness, the strange chopsticks!” At first, I would smile and briefly tell them how to use chopsticks. But with the thing staying unchanged, the stranger my classmates felt, the more uncomfortable I felt. It was the cultural difference that made it. Eventually, I doubted if I would give up using chopsticks and learn to use a knife and fork instead. Once we had a dinner, everyone sat in the restaurant. I couldn’t help reaching out for chopsticks. Mike, who was in the same group, saw this and shouted excitedly, “Look, the strange chopsticks!” As he spoke, he took a pair of chopsticks and awkwardly used them. But before the food was picked up, the chopsticks dropped on the floor. The chaotic laughing exploded while my face was flushed with embarrassment. Eating with my head lowered, I was in low spirits. I came to realize that in their opinion, chopsticks were just a strange tool, and my using chopsticks here simply became a laughing stock (笑柄). Nevertheless, I loved chopsticks carrying Chinese traditional culture from the bottom of my heart. As time went by, others kept misunderstanding chopsticks. I smiled casually, but deep down I worried that using them would never be accepted here. And I tried to avoid using chopsticks in public, even learned to use knife and fork in the following days. To my great surprise, the school expected everyone to prepare for the annually-held culture-sharing event. I was at a loss. 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。 The culture-sharing event was approaching. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was well prepared to share the chopsticks culture in the event. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
