22.细节理解题。根据Day 3段落中的“You can even get a bird’s eye view of Lake Wanaka in a helicopter.(游客甚至可以乘坐直升机,俯瞰瓦纳卡湖的全景风光。)”可知,第三天游客能够搭乘观光飞机游览。

(本题10分)Last month, while on a writing course in Umbria, Italy, I was delighted to watch an elderly couple clean their messy chestnut orchard (栗子园), followed by their energetic sheepdog. The fallen crop was pulled into a giant fan that blew their jackets back out onto the ground, and then the nuts were sorted by other family members on a conveyor belt in the farmhouse — the good ones to be sold in the shell, the less perfect nuts swiftly dropped into a container for processing.
Later in the week, a truck turned up in the village square to pick up bags from other small local producers. That evening, I roasted a pan of chestnuts on the fire with new appreciation, while regretting the disappearance from the streets of London of the chestnut sellers of my childhood.
If you’ve never eaten chestnuts hot from the shell, I strongly urge you to seek them out. The vacuum-packed (真空包装的) and ready-cooked sort are, of course, extremely convenient, but they’re a quite different thing from the sweetly smoky, roasted variety, so fresh that you burn your fingers on them and don’t care.
While the season ends eventually, the chestnuts’ association with Christmas means that net bags of them have already made their annual appearance in greengrocers and supermarkets, no doubt as much for their decorative value as for their fibre content. Indeed, they were once an important basic food starch in hilly regions like Umbria and Tuscany. To this day, ground chestnuts pop up in cakes and cookies, breads and soups.
But I’d argue that any such tendency to powderiness is, like so many issues in life, helped by the liberal addition of fat, as proven by buttery chestnut frangipane tart, smoky bacon and cream cheese, and buttery rice with pumpkin. So, if you spot some chestnuts at the shops, go and buy them.
24.(2.5分)What does the author intend to show by mentioning the sellers in London?
A.A preference for food. B.A memory of childhood.
C.Differences between cultures. D.Dissatisfaction with life.
25.(2.5分)What kind of chestnuts does the author strongly recommend?
A.Vacuum-packed. B.Ready-cooked.
C.Freshly-roasted. D.Pre-shelled.
26.(2.5分)What was the main use of chestnuts in Umbria and Tuscany in the past?
A.A decorative item for Christmas.
B.A special ingredient in local desserts.
C.A key source of starch in daily life.
D.A profitable crop for small producers.
27.(2.5分)What can be the best title for the text?
A.Chestnuts: A Bitter Memory
B.Chestnuts: From Orchard to Table
C.My Unforgettable Trip to Umbria
D.The History of Chestnut Growing
【答案】24.B 25.C 26.C 27.B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者在意大利目睹栗子从果园采收、分拣的全过程,怀念童年伦敦烤栗子,推荐现烤栗子,并介绍栗子的传统用途与多样吃法。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第二段“That evening, I roasted a pan of chestnuts on the fire with new appreciation, while regretting the disappearance from the streets of London of the chestnut sellers of my childhood. (那天晚上,我怀着新的感激之情,在火上烤了一锅栗子,同时也为童年时伦敦街头那些卖栗子的小贩渐渐消失而感到惋惜。)”可知,作者提到伦敦的卖栗人是为了表达对童年的回忆。故选B项。
25.细节理解题。根据第三段“The vacuum-packed (真空包装的) and ready-cooked sort are, of course, extremely convenient, but they’re a quite different thing from the sweetly smoky, roasted variety, so fresh that you burn your fingers on them and don’t care. (当然,真空包装的即食栗子十分方便,但它们和那种带着淡淡烟熏香气、热乎烫手却让人毫不在意的现烤栗子完全是两回事。)”可知,作者强烈推荐现烤的新鲜栗子。故选C项。
26.细节理解题。根据第四段“Indeed, they were once an important basic food starch in hilly regions like Umbria and Tuscany. (事实上,栗子曾经是翁布里亚和托斯卡纳等山区重要的基本淀粉食物。)”可知,过去栗子在翁布里亚和托斯卡纳是日常生活中的主要淀粉来源。故选C项。
27.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Last month, while on a writing course in Umbria, Italy, I was delighted to watch an elderly couple clean their messy chestnut orchard (栗子园), followed by their energetic sheepdog. The fallen crop was pulled into a giant fan that blew their jackets back out onto the ground, and then the nuts were sorted by other family members on a conveyor belt in the farmhouse — the good ones to be sold in the shell, the less perfect nuts swiftly dropped into. a container for processing. (上个月,我在意大利翁布里亚参加写作课程时,很高兴地看到一对年长的夫妇在清理他们杂乱的栗子园,身后跟着一只精力充沛的牧羊犬。掉落的栗子被送进一台巨大的风机,把外壳吹回地面,随后其他家人在农舍的传送带上分拣栗子 —— 完好的带壳出售,不太好的则迅速扔进容器等待加工。)”和后文对烤栗子、栗子食用方式的介绍可知,文章讲述了栗子从果园到餐桌的全过程,所以B项Chestnuts: From Orchard to Table (栗子:从果园到餐桌)适合做标题。故选B项。
(本题10分)A lunch break is an important and often necessary part of our work or school days. And now we’re spoilt (惯坏的) with a lot of places to buy our lunch from, all offering attractive dishes and sandwiches to eat on the go.
But our appetite for buying food for our lunchtime is not just costing us money; there might be a cost in terms of damaging our planet too. Just grabbing a sandwich, potato chips and maybe a cake and coffee can produce at least four items of waste. Paper boxes, cups, wrappers and plastic knives and forks are all part of our disposable (一次性的) feast in addition to the food waste we create. Some experts say throwing away food, which produces methane (甲烷) as it becomes gradually destroyed, is a bigger cause of climate change than plastic waste.
But regardless of what causes the most damage, the solution, according to an environmental campaign group called Hubbub, is to eat packed lunches. Tessa Tricks from the group says, “People are saying that they are buying food to take out because life has got busier.” And she says people think they are being more efficient; but she argues that it’s usually healthier and cheaper to make your own lunch. It means you can eat the things you really want and make the quantity that you actually need.
Of course, preparing your lunch is another thing to fit into your morning hurry of getting ready for work, so if you haven’t got time and you are going to buy lunch, an alternative that Hubbub suggests is to take your own containers to a shop and ask them to put your food in them. The idea of using reusable coffee cups for hot drinks and refillable water bottles has already proved successful, so this could be another step in the right direction.
28.(2.5分)What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Buying lunch costs a lot of money.
B.Eating fast food is harmful to health.
C.Buying lunch leads to environmental damage.
D.Making lunch saves our money and the planet.
29.(2.5分)What does Hubbub suggest doing in paragraph 3?
A.Eating whatever you want. B.Making lunch by yourself.
C.Stopping eating packed lunches. D.Trying to be more efficient in work.
30.(2.5分)What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Buying lunch. B.Using reusable coffee cups.
C.Taking your own containers. D.Using refillable water bottles.
31.(2.5分)What does the author call on us to do?
A.Make full use of lunchtime.
B.Eat properly to keep healthy.
C.Do what you can to reduce pollution.
D.Rethink our lunch habits to help our planet.
【答案】28.C 29.B 30.C 31.D
【导语】文章主要介绍了外购午餐会产生大量废弃物、破坏环境,并推荐自带便当或自备容器打包食物的环保午餐方式。
【详解】28.主旨大意题。根据第二段“But our appetite for buying food for our lunchtime is not just costing us money, there might be a cost in terms of damaging our planet too. (但是我们外购午餐的喜好不仅仅花费我们的金钱,还可能带来损害地球的代价。)”可知,第二段主要讲述外购午餐会造成环境破坏。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段“But regardless of what causes the most damage, the solution, according to an environmental campaign group called Hubbub, is to eat packed lunches. (但无论哪一类污染的破坏力最强,一个名为Hubbub的环保组织提出,解决办法就是自带便当。)”可知,Hubbub建议自己制作午餐。
30.词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Of course, preparing your lunch is another thing to fit into your morning hurry of getting ready for work, so if you haven’t got time and you are going to buy lunch, an alternative that Hubbub suggests is to take your own containers to a shop and ask them to put your food in them. The idea of using reusable coffee cups for hot drinks and refillable water bottles has already proved successful, so this could be another step in the right direction. (当然,在早上匆忙准备上班的间隙再准备午餐,又是一件麻烦事。所以如果你没时间、打算外购午餐,Hubbub推荐的替代方案是自带容器到商店,让店员把食物装进你的容器里。使用可重复利用咖啡杯盛装热饮、可循环补水水杯的做法已被证实可行,因此这会是朝着正确方向迈出的又一步。)”可知,代词this指代前文提到的“take your own containers”这一做法。
31.推理判断题。根据第三段“But regardless of what causes the most damage, the solution, according to an environmental campaign group called Hubbub, is to eat packed lunches.

(当然,在早上匆忙准备上班的间隙再准备午餐,又是一件麻烦事。所以如果你没时间、打算外购午餐,Hubbub推荐的替代方案是自带容器到商店,让店员把食物装进你的容器里。)”可知,作者倡导改变午餐习惯、减轻对地球的伤害,呼吁我们重新思考午餐习惯,保护地球。
(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.
32.(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
33.(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.
34.(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.
35.(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】32.C 33.B 34.D 35.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】32.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。
33.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。
34.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。
35.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。

67.(本题25分)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。
The Secret of Flowers
Sumiko worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day. The produce from their garden was sold at the farmer’s market. This is how they made their living. Sumiko’s job was to make sure the daikon radish (白萝卜) plants were never too dry. Each day Sumiko would push her finger into the soil to test for moisture (水分), and then carefully water any plant that needed it. Sumiko often imagined the plants she tended were beautiful chrysanthemums (菊花), like Mrs. Higaki’s prize flowers.
Sumiko envied (羡慕) Mrs. Higaki. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Higaki, she would be able to buy things for her mother. But chrysanthemums were expensive to start, and Sumiko could only dream about growing them.
One day, Sumiko visited Mrs. Higaki to see her flowers. Mrs. Higaki was checking her chrysanthemums when she arrived. The garden of flowers springing up excited Sumiko.
“I wish I could grow beautiful chrysanthemums and win a prize at the festival like you.”
“You?” Mrs. Higaki laughed. “Child, do you know what’s required to grow such flowers? The secret to growing prize chrysanthemums has been passed down to me from past generations of my family. And you?” She chuckled (轻声笑). “Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.”
Mrs. Higaki returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Sumiko’s face. Then she pulled up what looked like a weed (杂草).
“What’s that?” Sumiko asked.
“A shabby (破烂的) plant. Unworthy of my time — too weak to trouble,” Mrs. Higaki said before throwing the shabby plant into the field beside the garden.
Sumiko smiled. She had an idea. She politely said goodbye to Mrs. Higaki and went out the garden gate, quickly picking up the shabby plant before rushing home.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sumiko found a quiet place and planted the shabby plant carefully.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On festival morning, Sumiko jumped with joy upon seeing her little plant flowering.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Sumiko found a quiet place and planted the shabby plant carefully. She watered it daily, nurturing it with care and attention. She imagined it would one day grow into a beautiful chrysanthemum, and she was determined to prove Mrs. Higaki wrong. With each passing day, the plant grew stronger and taller, but still it did not resemble a chrysanthemum. However, Sumiko did not give up, and she continued to care for it with love and patience.
On festival morning, Sumiko jumped with joy upon seeing her little plant flowering. It was not a chrysanthemum, but a vibrant and unique bloom, its petals a soft pink with delicate white edges. She knew she had achieved something special. She took the flower to the festival, and although it did not win a prize, it did win the admiration of many. Mrs. Higaki, seeing Sumiko’s proud face and the unique flower, realized that the secret of flowers was not just passed down from generation to generation, but also found in the hearts of those who cared deeply for them.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Sumiko与母亲一起种植蔬菜为生,她羡慕能种出美丽菊花的Higaki夫人。一天,她拜访Higaki夫人时,看到夫人丢弃了一株看似弱小的植物。Sumiko心生一计,悄悄将植物带回家,打算自己培育。她希望能种出美丽的菊花,证明自己也能种出与Higaki夫人一样美丽的花朵。

(本题10分)Last month, while on a writing course in Umbria, Italy, I was delighted to watch an elderly couple clean their messy chestnut orchard (栗子园), followed by their energetic sheepdog. The fallen crop was pulled into a giant fan that blew their jackets back out onto the ground, and then the nuts were sorted by other family members on a conveyor belt in the farmhouse — the good ones to be sold in the shell, the less perfect nuts swiftly dropped into a container for processing.
Later in the week, a truck turned up in the village square to pick up bags from other small local producers. That evening, I roasted a pan of chestnuts on the fire with new appreciation, while regretting the disappearance from the streets of London of the chestnut sellers of my childhood.
If you’ve never eaten chestnuts hot from the shell, I strongly urge you to seek them out. The vacuum-packed (真空包装的) and ready-cooked sort are, of course, extremely convenient, but they’re a quite different thing from the sweetly smoky, roasted variety, so fresh that you burn your fingers on them and don’t care.
While the season ends eventually, the chestnuts’ association with Christmas means that net bags of them have already made their annual appearance in greengrocers and supermarkets, no doubt as much for their decorative value as for their fibre content. Indeed, they were once an important basic food starch in hilly regions like Umbria and Tuscany. To this day, ground chestnuts pop up in cakes and cookies, breads and soups.
But I’d argue that any such tendency to powderiness is, like so many issues in life, helped by the liberal addition of fat, as proven by buttery chestnut frangipane tart, smoky bacon and cream cheese, and buttery rice with pumpkin. So, if you spot some chestnuts at the shops, go and buy them.
24.(2.5分)What does the author intend to show by mentioning the sellers in London?
A.A preference for food. B.A memory of childhood.
C.Differences between cultures. D.Dissatisfaction with life.
25.(2.5分)What kind of chestnuts does the author strongly recommend?
A.Vacuum-packed. B.Ready-cooked.
C.Freshly-roasted. D.Pre-shelled.
26.(2.5分)What was the main use of chestnuts in Umbria and Tuscany in the past?
A.A decorative item for Christmas.
B.A special ingredient in local desserts.
C.A key source of starch in daily life.
D.A profitable crop for small producers.
27.(2.5分)What can be the best title for the text?
A.Chestnuts: A Bitter Memory
B.Chestnuts: From Orchard to Table
C.My Unforgettable Trip to Umbria
D.The History of Chestnut Growing
(本题10分)A lunch break is an important and often necessary part of our work or school days. And now we’re spoilt (惯坏的) with a lot of places to buy our lunch from, all offering attractive dishes and sandwiches to eat on the go.
But our appetite for buying food for our lunchtime is not just costing us money; there might be a cost in terms of damaging our planet too. Just grabbing a sandwich, potato chips and maybe a cake and coffee can produce at least four items of waste. Paper boxes, cups, wrappers and plastic knives and forks are all part of our disposable (一次性的) feast in addition to the food waste we create. Some experts say throwing away food, which produces methane (甲烷) as it becomes gradually destroyed, is a bigger cause of climate change than plastic waste.
But regardless of what causes the most damage, the solution, according to an environmental campaign group called Hubbub, is to eat packed lunches. Tessa Tricks from the group says, “People are saying that they are buying food to take out because life has got busier.” And she says people think they are being more efficient; but she argues that it’s usually healthier and cheaper to make your own lunch. It means you can eat the things you really want and make the quantity that you actually need.
Of course, preparing your lunch is another thing to fit into your morning hurry of getting ready for work, so if you haven’t got time and you are going to buy lunch, an alternative that Hubbub suggests is to take your own containers to a shop and ask them to put your food in them. The idea of using reusable coffee cups for hot drinks and refillable water bottles has already proved successful, so this could be another step in the right direction.
28.(2.5分)What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Buying lunch costs a lot of money.
B.Eating fast food is harmful to health.
C.Buying lunch leads to environmental damage.
D.Making lunch saves our money and the planet.
29.(2.5分)What does Hubbub suggest doing in paragraph 3?
A.Eating whatever you want. B.Making lunch by yourself.
C.Stopping eating packed lunches. D.Trying to be more efficient in work.
30.(2.5分)What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Buying lunch. B.Using reusable coffee cups.
C.Taking your own containers. D.Using refillable water bottles.
31.(2.5分)What does the author call on us to do?
A.Make full use of lunchtime.
B.Eat properly to keep healthy.
C.Do what you can to reduce pollution.
D.Rethink our lunch habits to help our planet.
(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.
32.(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
33.(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.
34.(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.
35.(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12.5分)The Power of Sweet Potatoes: What You Need to Know
There’s no vegetable quite as useful as the common potato. Bake them, roast them or fry them — there are countless easy and delicious meals that prove potatoes can do just about anything. But when it comes to nutrition (营养), sweet potatoes stand out. 36(2.5分) .
Among the various sweet potato health benefits is an improvement in stomach health. 37(2.5分) . That fiber supports digestive process and helps prevent stomach problems. As a mixed energy-giving food, a sweet potato takes more time to digest than simple energy-giving food, which means it won’t raise your blood sugar levels so quickly, helping to keep your mood and energy levels balanced.
Sweet potatoes are also high in beneficial nutrients — specifically vitamin C, plant-based nutrients and natural elements-that reduce body swelling (肿胀) and protect against long-term diseases. 38(2.5分) , Beta-carotene (β-胡萝卜素) is a beneficial element that helps repair sun damage and ease skin issues.
39(2.5分) . “One sweet potato only has a little over 100 calories,” says Rizzo, stressing that you get a lot of key nutrients for those calories. “Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, which help maintain a feeling of fullness.”
To ensure the preparation of sweet potatoes doesn’t take away from their nutritional value, experts recommend roasting, baking, air-frying or microwaving. 40(2.5分) . Instead, use a little cooking oil and herbs for flavour.
There’s no shortage of ways to enjoy sweet potatoes and experimenting is part of the fun!
A.They’re superfood because they’re tasty
B.That’s thanks to the impressive fiber content
C.Avoid adding too much oil, salt, or sugar while cooking
D.They offer more benefits than their color and sweet taste
E.Eating sweet potatoes regularly is even good for your skin
F.Healthy weight loss doesn’t require cutting sweet potatoes
G.However, eating them daily might cause your skin to get red and dry

The Secret of Flowers
Sumiko worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day. The produce from their garden was sold at the farmer’s market. This is how they made their living. Sumiko’s job was to make sure the daikon radish (白萝卜) plants were never too dry. Each day Sumiko would push her finger into the soil to test for moisture (水分), and then carefully water any plant that needed it. Sumiko often imagined the plants she tended were beautiful chrysanthemums (菊花), like Mrs. Higaki’s prize flowers.
Sumiko envied (羡慕) Mrs. Higaki. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Higaki, she would be able to buy things for her mother. But chrysanthemums were expensive to start, and Sumiko could only dream about growing them.
One day, Sumiko visited Mrs. Higaki to see her flowers. Mrs. Higaki was checking her chrysanthemums when she arrived. The garden of flowers springing up excited Sumiko.
“I wish I could grow beautiful chrysanthemums and win a prize at the festival like you.”
“You?” Mrs. Higaki laughed. “Child, do you know what’s required to grow such flowers? The secret to growing prize chrysanthemums has been passed down to me from past generations of my family. And you?” She chuckled (轻声笑). “Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.”
Mrs. Higaki returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Sumiko’s face. Then she pulled up what looked like a weed (杂草).
“What’s that?” Sumiko asked.
“A shabby (破烂的) plant. Unworthy of my time — too weak to trouble,” Mrs. Higaki said before throwing the shabby plant into the field beside the garden.
Sumiko smiled. She had an idea. She politely said goodbye to Mrs. Higaki and went out the garden gate, quickly picking up the shabby plant before rushing home.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sumiko found a quiet place and planted the shabby plant carefully.
