The fact is perfectly true for young ladies. When Scarlett and her classmates were in fifth grade, they started to worry about getting wrinkles. By the time she turned 14, Scarlett and her friends were spending hours on TikTok and YouTube watching people talk about products to make their skin look nice: a wet, shiny, perfect skin. Scarlett made a big skin care routine with face wash, sprays, hydrating covers and creams. One night, Scarlett’s skin began to burn intensely and got bubbles. Using too much strong stuff for grown-ups made her skin very bad. Scarlett’s experience is common now, experts say, as young girls go to beauty stores to buy fancy skin care products, a trend seen in popular videos with the hashtag #SephoraKids. Things like retinol and chemical scrubs like hydroxy acids are very strong. Young or sensitive skin can get red, peel and burn that can cause infections, spots and too much sensitivity if not used right, skin doctors say. “The focus on skin care is more than just wanting perfect skin. It’s about feeling accepted and belonging to a community that has the lifestyle and look you want,” says 14-year-old Mia Hall. More than the harm to the body, parents and child psychologists worry about how this trend can affect girls’ feelings and thoughts for a long time. A lot of information shows that being too focused on looks can hurt how you feel about yourself and your body and can cause worry, sadness and eating problems. The amount of detail and information girls get from beauty lessons sends a bad message at a time when they are growing up and finding out who they are, says Charlotte Markey, a body image expert and a teacher at Rutgers University. 4. What was Scarlett’s concern when she was in fifth grade? A. Getting wrinkles. B. Her skin not being shiny. C. Her skin’s hydration. D. Being rejected by her friends. 5. What happened to Scarlett’s skin after using adult-strength products? A. Her skin became flawless. B. Her skin turned red and peel. C. Her skin became very smooth. D. Her skin started to burn and blister. 6. Why are some skin care products harmful for young or sensitive skin? A. They are too expensive. B. They are not sold in beauty stores. C. They are designed for older people. D. They can cause redness, peeling, and burning. 7. What is the possible result of too much focus on skin care? A. It improves understanding of proper skin care routines. B. It can lead to anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. C. It helps to build better self-esteem and confidence. D. It encourages healthy relationships with peers. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章通过几个女孩的事例阐述了年轻女孩过早追求美容护肤的趋势及其潜在危害。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Scarlett and her classmates were in fifth grade, they started to worry about getting wrinkles.(当Scarlett和她的同学们上五年级时，他们开始担心长皱纹。)”可知，Scarlett在五年级时担心的是长皱纹，故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One night, Scarlett’s skin began to burn intensely and got bubbles. Using too much strong stuff for grown-ups made her skin very bad.(一天晚上，思嘉的皮肤开始剧烈地灼烧起来，冒出了泡泡。用了太多成人专用的强力物品，使她的皮肤非常糟糕。)”可知，用了成人护肤产品后，Scarlett的皮肤开始灼烧起水泡。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Things like retinol and chemical scrubs like hydroxy acids are very strong. Young or sensitive skin can get red, peel and burn that can cause infections, spots and too much sensitivity if not used right, skin doctors say.(像视黄醇和像果酸这样的化学擦剂是非常强的。皮肤医生说，如果使用不当，年轻或敏感的皮肤会变红、脱皮和灼伤，从而导致感染、斑点和过度敏感。)”可知，有些护肤品对年轻或敏感皮肤有害是因为它们会导致发红、脱皮和灼烧。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“A lot of information shows that being too focused on looks can hurt how you feel about yourself and your body and can cause worry, sadness and eating problems.(很多信息表明，过于关注外表会损害你对自己和身体的感觉，还会引发担忧、悲伤和饮食问题。)”可知，过分关注皮肤护理可能会导致的后果是导致焦虑、抑郁和饮食失调。故选B。 C Memory, our ability to encode, store, and retrieve information, is a fascinating and complex process. We often think of memory as a mental recording device, but it is far more malleable and selective. Each time we recall a memory, we are not simply playing back a perfect file; we are potentially reconstructing and even altering it. This reconstructive nature of memory has significant implications. Eyewitness testimony, once considered highly reliable in legal settings, is now viewed with more caution because of the fallibility of human memory. Studies have shown that memories can be influenced by new information, leading questions, or even our own beliefs and expectations. For instance, if after an event, someone suggests details that didn't happen, those details can be incorporated into our memory of the event, creating a false but vivid recollection. Why would our memory be so unreliable? From an evolutionary perspective, memory's primary function might not be perfect accuracy, but rather to help us make sense of the world and guide future behavior. Remembering the general gist of an event — whether it was threatening or safe, enjoyable or unpleasant — is often more important for survival than remembering every minute detail. Our brains prioritize information that is emotionally significant or frequently used, while letting less important details fade. Understanding that memory is reconstructive can help us be more critical of our own recollections and more understanding of others'. It reminds us that our past is not a fixed narrative but a story we continually refine. 8. According to the passage, how is human memory different from a recording device? A. It is more accurate and reliable. B. It is simpler and more straightforward. C. It is more changeable and selective. D. It is less useful for guiding behavior. 9. Why is eyewitness testimony now treated with caution? A. Because witnesses often lie intentionally. B. Because memories can be influenced and become inaccurate. C. Because judges and juries no longer trust human memory. D. Because it is illegal to use memory as evidence. 10. What is suggested as a possible evolutionary reason for memory’s unreliability? A. To make room for more important new memories. B. To focus on details rather than the general idea. C. To prioritize survival-related information over precise details. D. To avoid the mental effort of storing perfect records. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To criticize the legal system’s use of eyewitnesses. B. To explain the biological process of memory formation. C. To discuss the reconstructive and sometimes unreliable nature of memory. D. To argue that memory is completely untrustworthy. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了记忆的重构性和有时不可靠的特点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We often think of memory as a mental recording device, but it is far more malleable and selective.(我们常把记忆比作一种心理记录装置，但它更易塑形，也更具选择性。)”可知，人类记忆与录音设备不同之处在于人类记忆更具可塑性和选择性。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Eyewitness testimony, once considered highly reliable in legal settings, is now viewed with more caution because of the fallibility of human memory. Studies have shown that memories can be influenced by new information, leading questions, or even our own beliefs and expectations.(目击者证词曾在法律场景中被视为高度可靠，但如今由于人类记忆的易错性，人们对其持更为谨慎的态度。研究表明，记忆会受到新信息、诱导性问题甚至自身信念与预期的影响。)”可知，记忆可能会受到影响而变得不准确，所以现在对目击证人的证词要谨慎对待。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“From an evolutionary perspective, memory's primary function might not be perfect accuracy, but rather to help us make sense of the world and guide future behavior. Remembering the general gist of an event — whether it was threatening or safe, enjoyable or unpleasant — is often more important for survival than remembering every minute detail.(从进化的角度来看，记忆的主要功能或许并非追求完美的准确性，而是帮助我们理解世界并指导未来的行为。记住一件事的大致要点——比如它是具有威胁性的还是安全的，是令人愉快的还是不愉快的——往往比记住每一个细微的细节对生存更为重要。)”可知，记忆不可靠的可能进化原因是优先关注与生存相关的信息而不是精确的细节。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段提出核心观点“记忆是重构的，具有可塑性和选择性”；第二段举例说明这一特性的影响“目击者证词需谨慎”；第三段从进化角度解释记忆“不可靠”的原因；第四段总结理解该特性的意义。全文围绕“记忆的重构性”和“有时不可靠”展开。由此可知，文章主要目的是探讨了记忆的重构性和有时不可靠的特点。故选C。 D For decades, marketers of consumer goods designed eye-catching packaging, using bold colors, stylish text, cartoons, and illustrations to seize shoppers’ attention. Conventional wisdom held that with thousands of products competing against one another in big-box stores and supermarkets, companies needed to do everything in their power to make their products stand out. But recently, there’s been a move toward simplicity, similar to minimalist (极简主义) art in the 1960s, which rejected complexity and favored abstraction by removing all unnecessary elements. A recent research explored whether shoppers actually prefer this packaging — and, if so, why. First, researchers analyzed over 1,000 consumer goods, such as shampoo, and cereal, from the largest supermarket chain in the U.S. They found that products in simple packaging generally had higher retail prices than similar products that didn’t, indicating that shoppers are willing to pay more for products in this packaging. In a follow-up study, university students were asked to look at different packages and reported how much they were willing to pay, how many ingredients they thought the products might have and how pure they perceived (理解) the products to be. The results showed that the preference for simple packaging was due to the fact that pared-down designs sent a subtle yet powerful signal: purity. Participants were more likely to assume that the products contained fewer ingredients, along with fewer preservatives, added colors or artificial flavors, and were willing to fork over more cash for them — regardless of whether they actually contain fewer ingredients. However, simple packaging design is not always effective. For generic brands (卖场自家品牌), typically sold at a lower price, the simplicity of the packaging may signal low quality rather than purity. Shoppers’ desires can also influence their preference. When people seek healthier options, they’ll pay more for products with simple packaging. However, when consumers want to treat themselves to junk food, they’ll be more likely to purchase products with complex packaging, which signals many ingredients and lower purity — qualities associated with more flavor. 12. Traditionally, what products are more competitive? A. Ones with fancy designs. B. Ones with green features. C. Ones with costly wrappings. D. Ones with healthy ingredients. 13. The first study was designed to find out consumers’ ________. A. buying power B. shopping motives C. pricing response D. packaging preferences 14. Why are people more likely to buy simply-packaged products according to the study? A. Because they seek rich flavors. B. Because they want to save money. C. Because they make health a priority. D. Because they prefer well-known brands. 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. How Art Shapes Packaging? B. What You Should Check on Labels? C. When Designs Took a New Turn? D. Why You Like Minimalist Packaging? 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讨论了消费者对商品包装偏好的变化，从传统的复杂华丽包装转向简约包装，并探讨了这种转变背后的原因和影响因素。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For decades, marketers of consumer goods designed eye-catching packaging, using bold colors, stylish text, cartoons, and illustrations to seize shoppers’ attention. Conventional wisdom held that with thousands of products competing against one another in big-box stores and supermarkets, companies needed to do everything in their power to make their products stand out.(几十年来，消费品营销人员设计了引人注目的包装，使用大胆的颜色、时尚的文字、卡通和插图来吸引购物者的注意。传统观点认为，在大卖场和超市中，成千上万的产品相互竞争，公司需要尽其所能让自己的产品脱颖而出。)”可知，传统上，设计华丽的产品在市场上更具竞争力，因为这样的设计能吸引消费者的注意力。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“First, researchers analyzed over 1,000 consumer goods, such as shampoo, and cereal, from the largest supermarket chain in the U.S. They found that products in simple packaging generally had higher retail prices than similar products that didn’t, indicating that shoppers are willing to pay more for products in this packaging.(首先，研究人员分析了美国最大连锁超市的1000多种消费品，如洗发水和谷物食品。他们发现，采用简单包装的产品通常比未采用简单包装的类似产品零售价更高，这表明消费者愿意为这种包装的产品支付更高的价格。)”可知，第一项研究通过比较不同包装产品的价格，旨在了解消费者对不同包装的偏好，即他们是否更愿意为简约包装的产品支付更高的价格。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The results showed that the preference for simple packaging was due to the fact that pared-down designs sent a subtle yet powerful signal: purity. Participants were more likely to assume that the products contained fewer ingredients, along with fewer preservatives, added colors or artificial flavors, and were willing to fork over more cash for them — regardless of whether they actually contain fewer ingredients.(结果显示，对简单包装的偏好是因为简约的设计传递了一个微妙而有力的信号：纯净。参与者更有可能认为这些产品含有较少的成分，以及较少的防腐剂、添加的色素或人工香料，并且愿意为它们支付更多的钱，不管它们是否真的含有较少的成分。)”可知，根据这项研究，人们更有可能购买包装简单的产品是因为他们把健康放在首位，认为包装简单的产品更纯净。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章首先介绍了传统上消费品包装设计的华丽风格，然后指出近年来出现了向简约包装转变的趋势，并通过研究探讨了消费者对简约包装的偏好及其背后的原因，如消费者认为简约包装的产品更纯净、更健康，并愿意为此支付更高的价格，但也提到了简约包装并非对所有品牌都有效，以及消费者需求如何影响包装偏好。由此可知，文章主要探讨了消费者为何喜欢简约包装，所以选项D“你为何偏爱极简主义包装？”作为标题能够概括文章的主旨。故选D。 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。 On September 9, Apple entered the foldable phone market with the iPhone Duo, its first folding phone. For a company whose every move leads the industry, this was no small event. ____16____ Huawei had in fact moved before Apple. Two days before the Apple event, it unveiled its second tri-fold flagship, the Mate XT2, putting it on sale before the iPhone Duo could even be pre-ordered. ____17____ The message to consumers was plain: Huawei had no intention of giving up its ground. Huawei’s confidence rests on hard numbers. In the first half of 2026, it held roughly two-thirds of China’s foldable market. ____18____ No other company came close. ____19____ In evaluating the iPhone Duo, Huawei sees more opportunity than threat. Many analysts agree: Apple’s entry has finally made the foldable form impossible to doubt, and the company best placed to profit from a bigger market is the one that already leads it. Production targets for Huawei’s foldable lines are said to be rising for the second half of the year. Rather than narrowing its defense, Huawei is widening it. Beyond the tri-fold Mate XT2, it is reportedly developing another book-style foldable with a 7.6-inch main screen, one that looks much like the iPhone Duo on paper. ____20____ All of these devices run on Huawei’s own Kirin chips and HarmonyOS — a sign that the battle for the future of folding phones has only begun. A. Many buyers, however, say they would rather wait for a second generation. B. This second model is expected to appear within months, giving Huawei an Apple-style answer of its own. C. Huawei first entered the foldable market in 2019 with its original Mate X. D. That confidence, however, tells only half the story. E. This early strike was carefully timed to seize the spotlight before Apple could own it. F. Yet the louder answer to it would come from its strongest challenger in China, Huawei. G. Such dominance took years of patient work to build. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. G 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍苹果推出首款折叠手机iPhone Duo，华为抢先发布三折叠机型，二者在折叠屏市场展开竞争。 【16题详解】 根据上文提供的信息“On September 9, Apple entered the foldable phone market with the iPhone Duo, its first folding phone. For a company whose every move leads the industry, this was no small event.(9月9日，苹果凭借iPhone Duo进入折叠手机市场，这是它的首款折叠手机。对于一家一举一动都引领行业的公司来说，这可不是小事)”可知，上文提出苹果发布折叠手机这一行业大事件，后文段落转而介绍华为的抢先动作，空格需要过渡句引出华为。F选项“Yet the louder answer to it would come from its strongest challenger in China, Huawei.(然而，对此更响亮的回应来自它在中国最强劲的对手，华为)”中的代词it指代苹果发布折叠手机这件事，句子起到承上启下的作用，自然引出下文华为的举措。 【17题详解】 根据上文提供的信息“Huawei had in fact moved before Apple. Two days before the Apple event, it unveiled its second tri-fold flagship, the Mate XT2, putting it on sale before the iPhone Duo could even be pre-ordered.(事实上华为行动早于苹果。苹果发布会前两天，它发布第二款三折叠旗舰Mate XT2，在iPhone Duo开启预售前就开售)”可知，上文描述华为抢在苹果之前发布新机，空格需要对该行为进行总结评价。E选项“This early strike was carefully timed to seize the spotlight before Apple could own it.(这次抢先出击精心选好了时机，意在在苹果抢占关注度之前夺得焦点)”中的This early strike指代华为抢先发布新机的行为，对上文事件进行解读，衔接后文华为不愿让出市场的态度。 【18题详解】 根据上文提供的信息“In the first half of 2026, it held roughly two-thirds of China’s foldable market.(2026年上半年，它占据中国折叠屏市场大约三分之二的份额)”以及下文“No other company came close.(没有其他公司能望其项背)”可知，上文给出华为超高市场份额的数据，下文强调无人能及。空格承接这个市场优势，说明这种优势不是凭空得来。G选项“Such dominance took years of patient work to build.(这样的主导地位是历经多年潜心经营才建立起来的)”中的Such dominance指代上文三分之二的市场占有率，衔接前后两句。 【19题详解】 根据上文提供的信息“Huawei’s confidence rests on hard numbers.(华为的信心建立在实打实的数据之上)”以及下文“In evaluating the iPhone Duo, Huawei sees more opportunity than threat.(在评估iPhone Duo时，华为看到的更多是机遇而非威胁)”可知，上文讲华为基于数据充满信心，下文转换视角，讨论苹果入局带来的市场机遇，存在语义转折。D选项“That confidence, however, tells only half the story.(然而，这份信心只说明了一半情况)”中的That confidence指代上文中华为依托市场数据产生的信心，通过转折开启新一层论述。 【20题详解】 根据上文提供的信息“Beyond the tri-fold Mate XT2, it is reportedly developing another book-style foldable with a 7.6-inch main screen, one that looks much like the iPhone Duo on paper.(除三折叠Mate XT2之外，据报道它正在研发另一款横向折叠手机，主屏7.6英寸，理论外观很像iPhone Duo)”可知，上文介绍华为正在研发一款新折叠机型，空格继续介绍这款新机。B选项“This second model is expected to appear within months, giving Huawei an Apple-style answer of its own.(这第二款机型预计几个月内亮相，让华为拥有属于自己的对标苹果的产品)”中的This second model指代上文提到的正在研发的横向折叠新机，承接上文新机信息，引出后面全部设备搭载麒麟芯片和鸿蒙系统的内容。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 We often underestimate kindness, yet it can alter someone’s day — and our own.

As a sixteen-year-old teenager raised entirely in the USA, she had adapted to local lifestyles. But her parents never skipped the celebrations of traditional Chinese festivals. Still, Jade could never figure out what made these festivals so significant to them. To her, these festivals meant nothing but endless tiring chores (杂务), unfamiliar dishes that didn’t suit her taste, and less time with her friends. On the morning of this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, Jade’s mother got up very early and busied herself with preparations. Jade grabbed her backpack, eager to go out and meet friends. But Mom stopped her, hoping she could help. Looking at all kinds of materials and the mooncake moulds (模具) on the kitchen table, Jade rejected it without hesitation. She complained that she had made plans with her friends long before. Mom drew Jade down to sit next to her. She didn’t blame her. Instead, she pulled an old photo album out of the kitchen cupboard. Inside were photos of her and Dad shortly after their arrival in America: the family members happily held mooncakes outside their tiny old apartment. In a soft voice, Mom explained that the festival represented far more than mooncakes and lights. Back in her childhood days in Guangzhou, the whole family would gather on the rooftop each Mid-Autumn night. They enjoyed mooncakes, admiring the full moon. Once, she had ignored those warm moments. But after being thousands of miles away from home, that very moon turned into an invisible (隐形的) bond connecting her to her hometown. “We look up at the same moon as our relatives back in China. This festival holds our family bond unbroken,” she murmured. Mom closed the photo album and gently put her hand over Jade’s. “You are free to leave if you wish. Go enjoy yourself with friends.” Jade stared hard at her mother, catching a sense of homesick sorrow in her heart. 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。 Jade thought for a short time, and then put down her backpack. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When night fell, all the preparations were over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Jade thought for a short time, and then put down her backpack. Though slightly reluctant, she rolled up her sleeves and threw herself into festival preparations with her parents. Awkwardly, she was clumsy at first and the mooncakes made by her turned out misshapen and looked strange. Under Mom’s patient guidance, she gradually mastered the skills of pressing mixtures into all kinds of moulds. What started as a burden slowly sparked her enthusiasm. Mindful of every step, she grew increasingly skillful and laughter occasionally echoed through the kitchen. When night fell, all the preparations were over. Seated on the balcony, the whole family admired the brilliant full moon, tasted the homemade mooncakes and shared some touching stories about Mid-Autumn in China. To Jade’s amazement, the mooncakes carried an unexpected delicious flavor. It dawned on her that those once-annoying and tiring chores were far from meaningless. Instead of merely having fun with her friends, the festival built a precious emotional bond linking her to her family and distant cultural roots. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Jade的文化认知转变为线索展开。自幼在美国长大的Jade不理解父母坚持庆祝中国传统节日的心意，只觉得中秋节日繁琐乏味，一心只想外出和朋友玩耍。中秋当日，母亲没有责怪她的抵触，而是通过旧照片和温柔讲述，告诉她中秋承载着游子的乡愁、亲情羁绊与家国思念。读懂母亲思乡之情后，Jade内心深受触动。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Jade放弃外出计划，主动留下来和父母一起准备中秋食物。起初她动作笨拙、月饼做得不好，在母亲耐心指导下逐渐熟练，慢慢投入其中，体会到节日的乐趣与温度。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写夜晚全家赏月品饼、畅谈往事，Jade品尝亲手制作的月饼，彻底改观，领悟到传统节日不是繁琐杂务，而是联结亲情、传承文化根脉的珍贵纽带，完成思想成长。 2. 续写线索：放下背包、留下帮忙 —— 初学笨拙、渐入佳境 —— 全家月下团聚 —— 品味美食、倾听往事 —— 改观顿悟、理解文化与亲情 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①投入、投身：throw oneself into / devote oneself to ②掌握、精通：master / be skilled in 情绪/状态类 ①不情愿的：reluctant / unwilling ②笨拙的：clumsy / awkward 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Awkwardly, she was clumsy at first and the mooncakes made by her turned out misshapen and looked strange.

The fact is perfectly true for young ladies. When Scarlett and her classmates were in fifth grade, they started to worry about getting wrinkles. By the time she turned 14, Scarlett and her friends were spending hours on TikTok and YouTube watching people talk about products to make their skin look nice: a wet, shiny, perfect skin. Scarlett made a big skin care routine with face wash, sprays, hydrating covers and creams. One night, Scarlett’s skin began to burn intensely and got bubbles. Using too much strong stuff for grown-ups made her skin very bad. Scarlett’s experience is common now, experts say, as young girls go to beauty stores to buy fancy skin care products, a trend seen in popular videos with the hashtag #SephoraKids. Things like retinol and chemical scrubs like hydroxy acids are very strong. Young or sensitive skin can get red, peel and burn that can cause infections, spots and too much sensitivity if not used right, skin doctors say. “The focus on skin care is more than just wanting perfect skin. It’s about feeling accepted and belonging to a community that has the lifestyle and look you want,” says 14-year-old Mia Hall. More than the harm to the body, parents and child psychologists worry about how this trend can affect girls’ feelings and thoughts for a long time. A lot of information shows that being too focused on looks can hurt how you feel about yourself and your body and can cause worry, sadness and eating problems. The amount of detail and information girls get from beauty lessons sends a bad message at a time when they are growing up and finding out who they are, says Charlotte Markey, a body image expert and a teacher at Rutgers University. 4. What was Scarlett’s concern when she was in fifth grade? A. Getting wrinkles. B. Her skin not being shiny. C. Her skin’s hydration. D. Being rejected by her friends. 5. What happened to Scarlett’s skin after using adult-strength products? A. Her skin became flawless. B. Her skin turned red and peel. C. Her skin became very smooth. D. Her skin started to burn and blister. 6. Why are some skin care products harmful for young or sensitive skin? A. They are too expensive. B. They are not sold in beauty stores. C. They are designed for older people. D. They can cause redness, peeling, and burning. 7. What is the possible result of too much focus on skin care? A. It improves understanding of proper skin care routines. B. It can lead to anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. C. It helps to build better self-esteem and confidence. D. It encourages healthy relationships with peers. C Memory, our ability to encode, store, and retrieve information, is a fascinating and complex process. We often think of memory as a mental recording device, but it is far more malleable and selective. Each time we recall a memory, we are not simply playing back a perfect file; we are potentially reconstructing and even altering it. This reconstructive nature of memory has significant implications. Eyewitness testimony, once considered highly reliable in legal settings, is now viewed with more caution because of the fallibility of human memory. Studies have shown that memories can be influenced by new information, leading questions, or even our own beliefs and expectations. For instance, if after an event, someone suggests details that didn't happen, those details can be incorporated into our memory of the event, creating a false but vivid recollection. Why would our memory be so unreliable? From an evolutionary perspective, memory's primary function might not be perfect accuracy, but rather to help us make sense of the world and guide future behavior. Remembering the general gist of an event — whether it was threatening or safe, enjoyable or unpleasant — is often more important for survival than remembering every minute detail. Our brains prioritize information that is emotionally significant or frequently used, while letting less important details fade. Understanding that memory is reconstructive can help us be more critical of our own recollections and more understanding of others'. It reminds us that our past is not a fixed narrative but a story we continually refine. 8. According to the passage, how is human memory different from a recording device? A. It is more accurate and reliable. B. It is simpler and more straightforward. C. It is more changeable and selective. D. It is less useful for guiding behavior. 9. Why is eyewitness testimony now treated with caution? A. Because witnesses often lie intentionally. B. Because memories can be influenced and become inaccurate. C. Because judges and juries no longer trust human memory. D. Because it is illegal to use memory as evidence. 10. What is suggested as a possible evolutionary reason for memory’s unreliability? A. To make room for more important new memories. B. To focus on details rather than the general idea. C. To prioritize survival-related information over precise details. D. To avoid the mental effort of storing perfect records. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To criticize the legal system’s use of eyewitnesses. B. To explain the biological process of memory formation. C. To discuss the reconstructive and sometimes unreliable nature of memory. D. To argue that memory is completely untrustworthy. D For decades, marketers of consumer goods designed eye-catching packaging, using bold colors, stylish text, cartoons, and illustrations to seize shoppers’ attention. Conventional wisdom held that with thousands of products competing against one another in big-box stores and supermarkets, companies needed to do everything in their power to make their products stand out. But recently, there’s been a move toward simplicity, similar to minimalist (极简主义) art in the 1960s, which rejected complexity and favored abstraction by removing all unnecessary elements. A recent research explored whether shoppers actually prefer this packaging — and, if so, why. First, researchers analyzed over 1,000 consumer goods, such as shampoo, and cereal, from the largest supermarket chain in the U.S. They found that products in simple packaging generally had higher retail prices than similar products that didn’t, indicating that shoppers are willing to pay more for products in this packaging. In a follow-up study, university students were asked to look at different packages and reported how much they were willing to pay, how many ingredients they thought the products might have and how pure they perceived (理解) the products to be. The results showed that the preference for simple packaging was due to the fact that pared-down designs sent a subtle yet powerful signal: purity. Participants were more likely to assume that the products contained fewer ingredients, along with fewer preservatives, added colors or artificial flavors, and were willing to fork over more cash for them — regardless of whether they actually contain fewer ingredients. However, simple packaging design is not always effective. For generic brands (卖场自家品牌), typically sold at a lower price, the simplicity of the packaging may signal low quality rather than purity. Shoppers’ desires can also influence their preference. When people seek healthier options, they’ll pay more for products with simple packaging. However, when consumers want to treat themselves to junk food, they’ll be more likely to purchase products with complex packaging, which signals many ingredients and lower purity — qualities associated with more flavor. 12. Traditionally, what products are more competitive? A. Ones with fancy designs. B. Ones with green features. C. Ones with costly wrappings. D. Ones with healthy ingredients. 13. The first study was designed to find out consumers’ ________. A. buying power B. shopping motives C. pricing response D. packaging preferences 14. Why are people more likely to buy simply-packaged products according to the study? A. Because they seek rich flavors. B. Because they want to save money. C. Because they make health a priority. D. Because they prefer well-known brands. 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. How Art Shapes Packaging? B. What You Should Check on Labels? C. When Designs Took a New Turn? D. Why You Like Minimalist Packaging? 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。 On September 9, Apple entered the foldable phone market with the iPhone Duo, its first folding phone. For a company whose every move leads the industry, this was no small event. ____16____ Huawei had in fact moved before Apple. Two days before the Apple event, it unveiled its second tri-fold flagship, the Mate XT2, putting it on sale before the iPhone Duo could even be pre-ordered. ____17____ The message to consumers was plain: Huawei had no intention of giving up its ground. Huawei’s confidence rests on hard numbers. In the first half of 2026, it held roughly two-thirds of China’s foldable market. ____18____ No other company came close. ____19____ In evaluating the iPhone Duo, Huawei sees more opportunity than threat. Many analysts agree: Apple’s entry has finally made the foldable form impossible to doubt, and the company best placed to profit from a bigger market is the one that already leads it. Production targets for Huawei’s foldable lines are said to be rising for the second half of the year. Rather than narrowing its defense, Huawei is widening it. Beyond the tri-fold Mate XT2, it is reportedly developing another book-style foldable with a 7.6-inch main screen, one that looks much like the iPhone Duo on paper. ____20____ All of these devices run on Huawei’s own Kirin chips and HarmonyOS — a sign that the battle for the future of folding phones has only begun. A. Many buyers, however, say they would rather wait for a second generation. B. This second model is expected to appear within months, giving Huawei an Apple-style answer of its own. C.

As a sixteen-year-old teenager raised entirely in the USA, she had adapted to local lifestyles. But her parents never skipped the celebrations of traditional Chinese festivals. Still, Jade could never figure out what made these festivals so significant to them. To her, these festivals meant nothing but endless tiring chores (杂务), unfamiliar dishes that didn’t suit her taste, and less time with her friends. On the morning of this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, Jade’s mother got up very early and busied herself with preparations. Jade grabbed her backpack, eager to go out and meet friends. But Mom stopped her, hoping she could help. Looking at all kinds of materials and the mooncake moulds (模具) on the kitchen table, Jade rejected it without hesitation. She complained that she had made plans with her friends long before. Mom drew Jade down to sit next to her. She didn’t blame her. Instead, she pulled an old photo album out of the kitchen cupboard. Inside were photos of her and Dad shortly after their arrival in America: the family members happily held mooncakes outside their tiny old apartment. In a soft voice, Mom explained that the festival represented far more than mooncakes and lights. Back in her childhood days in Guangzhou, the whole family would gather on the rooftop each Mid-Autumn night. They enjoyed mooncakes, admiring the full moon. Once, she had ignored those warm moments. But after being thousands of miles away from home, that very moon turned into an invisible (隐形的) bond connecting her to her hometown. “We look up at the same moon as our relatives back in China. This festival holds our family bond unbroken,” she murmured. Mom closed the photo album and gently put her hand over Jade’s. “You are free to leave if you wish. Go enjoy yourself with friends.” Jade stared hard at her mother, catching a sense of homesick sorrow in her heart. 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。 Jade thought for a short time, and then put down her backpack. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When night fell, all the preparations were over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
