Childhood obesity has been receiving increasing attention in recent years. It's no big secret that children like sweets, snacks and fast food. Fast food restaurants make fat meals even more popular by including toys. However, there are healthy foods that children can enjoy just as much as other choices. Apple sticks dipped in butter are a delicious choice for midday snacks. Following the suggestions in the food pym's is an easy way to make sure that a child has all of the nutrition he or SHE needs. My second suggestion is percies going for a bike ride, taking a walk around neighborhood or running around the playground are all fun ways for children to get out and get moving. Fitness for kids is very different to fitness for adults. While adults often have a strong will to force themselves to exercise, kids usually would much rather sit in front of the television and watch their favorite cartoons. IT is important to make things fun, to get a child's attention and cultivate their interest. Finally, IT is extremely important for overweight children to stick to a healthy lifestyle, eating healthy foods and making fitness for kids a fun experience can help get children on the right track to a healthier lifestyle.

Here are some major diet trends that are popular nowadays.Keto (酮类的) diet By severely restricting carbohydrates, the keto diet forces the body to burn fat. It rose to fame online for fast weight loss, often due to water and calorie loss. However, long-term safety evidence remains insufficient, and high consumption of red meat and unhealthy fats may compromise nutritional balance.Atkins diet Like the keto diet, this kind of diet restricts carbohydrates while encouraging higher fat and protein intake. It regained popularity in the early 2000s for quick weight loss. Short-term weight loss is possible, but long-term results are similar to other diets when calorie intake is equal. Highly processed meat intake may increase the risk of diseases if lasting for a long time.Vegetarian diet This diet removes meat but often includes dairy and eggs, offering flexibility. Originating from cultural traditions, it gained modern popularity for health reasons. When centered on whole grains, fresh vegetables, and low-fat dairy, it supports a healthy weight and lowers blood pressure.Mediterranean diet Focusing on olive oil, whole grains, and fresh produce, this diet minimizes processed foods and unhealthy fats. Inspired by low heart disease rates in Mediterranean regions, it gained expert recommendation. Scientific evidence supports its ability to lower fat levels, cut heart disease risk, and enhance long-term health outcomes. Given the advantages and disadvantages of these diets, you’d better choose a diet that you can maintain. Ideally, it should provide adequate nutrients, limit processed foods, and keep your energy stable. Therefore, never rush into a new diet; you had better evaluate your health condition and ensure the pattern suits your lifestyle. 21．(2.5分)Which is the common feature of keto diet and Atkins diet? A．Limiting carbohydrates. B．Limiting protein intake. C．Increasing total calorie intake. D．Increasing consumption of vegetables. 22．(2.5分)What kind of diet wins professional recognition? A．Keto diet. B．Atkins diet. C．Vegetarian diet. D．Mediterranean diet. 23．(2.5分)What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To issue a warning. B．To offer suggestions. C．To make an appeal. D．To draw comparisons. 【答案】21．A 22．D 23．B 【导语】文章主要介绍当下四种流行饮食方式，分别讲解生酮饮食、阿特金斯饮食、素食饮食、地中海饮食的饮食特点、减重效果与利弊，最后给出合理选择饮食方案的相关建议。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据原文Keto diet部分“By severely restricting carbohydrates, the keto diet forces the body to burn fat.(生酮饮食严格限制碳水化合物摄入，迫使身体燃烧脂肪。)”以及Atkins diet部分“Like the keto diet, this kind of diet restricts carbohydrates while encouraging higher fat and protein intake.(和生酮饮食一样，这种饮食限制碳水化合物，同时鼓励摄入更多脂肪与蛋白质。)”可知，两种饮食的共同特点是限制碳水化合物摄入。 22．细节理解题。根据原文Mediterranean diet部分“Inspired by low heart disease rates in Mediterranean regions, it gained expert recommendation.(受地中海地区低心脏病发病率启发，该饮食得到了专家的推荐。)”可知，地中海饮食获得专业人士认可。 23．推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Given the advantages and disadvantages of these diets, you’d better choose a diet that you can maintain.(考虑到这些饮食各有利弊，你最好选择一种能够长期坚持的饮食方式。)”以及“Therefore, never rush into a new diet; you had better evaluate your health condition and ensure the pattern suits your lifestyle.(因此，不要贸然尝试新饮食，你最好评估自身健康状况，确保该饮食模式适配自己的生活方式。)”可知，最后一段旨在给读者提供选择饮食的相关建议。 （本题10分）It’s not what you would consider to be a healthy drink. But research suggests drinking beer can actually lower your blood pressure and reduce your weight. Xanthohumol (黄腐酚), contained in beer, could reduce damage done by high-fat diets, scientists claim. Such diets lead to a series of conditions including obesity, high blood pressure and blood sugar. But trials on mice fed with high-fat foods showed that giving them beer could curb some of the conditions. Figures suggest a quarter of adults in the UK suffer from metabolic syndrome (代谢综合征), and around 35 percent of Americans are believed to have it. It puts you at greater risk of developing heart disease — the world’s leading killer — but it can be changed by making healthy lifestyle changes. Scientists at Oregon State University made the conclusion after testing xanthohumol (XN) on obese mice. The findings back up previous research that has suggested the compounds could be used in future to treat metabolic syndrome. And they offer fresh hope for fighting metabolic syndrome, because they cause no potential side effects unlike compounds under current tests. Xanthohumol is known to transform into 8-PN, and researchers have long been criticized for the side effects. Professor Fred Stevens, lead author, said, “If someone took XN over longer periods of time, it could lead to side effects, potentially.” But Professor Stevens said they came across the “solution to the problem” by adding water to XN — which stopped the creation of 8-PN. And various tests on mice, published in the journal Scientific Reports, showed the derivatives worked but caused no harm. High-fat diets also lead to memory loss — but the compounds allowed mice to keep their learning, the researchers found. 24．(2.5分)What does the research mentioned in the first paragraph find? A．Beer is in a way good for people’s health. B．Beer is totally harmful to people’s health. C．High-fat diets are very popular with people. D．High-fat diets can lower people’s blood pressure. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “curb” in the first paragraph probably mean? A．Increase. B．Control. C．Cause. D．Continue. 26．(2.5分)How did scientists at Oregon State University draw their conclusion? A．They studied some normal mice. B．They compared the results of different studies. C．They observed some patients with heart disease. D．They conducted tests on some overweight mice. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following can solve the side effects of XN? A．Keeping learning. B．Doing more tests on mice. C．Adding some water to XN. D．Drinking more beer if possible. 【答案】24．A 25．B 26．D 27．C 【导语】文章主要介绍研究发现啤酒中的黄腐酚对人体有益，能够缓解高脂饮食带来的肥胖、高血压等代谢综合征相关问题，科研人员通过实验解决了黄腐酚长期服用存在副作用的难题，同时该物质还能保护实验小鼠的学习记忆能力。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据原文第一段“But research suggests drinking beer can actually lower your blood pressure and reduce your weight.(但研究表明，饮用啤酒实际上可以降低血压、减轻体重。)”可知，啤酒在某种程度上对人体健康有益。 25．词句猜测题。根据原文第一段“Such diets lead to a series of conditions including obesity, high blood pressure and blood sugar. But trials on mice fed with high-fat foods showed that giving them beer could curb some of the conditions.(这类饮食会引发肥胖、高血压、高血糖等一系列问题，但以高脂食物喂养小鼠的实验显示，给小鼠饮用啤酒能够curb部分这类病症。)”及“But research suggests drinking beer can actually lower your blood pressure and reduce your weight.(但研究表明，饮用啤酒实际上可以降低血压、减轻体重。)”可知，高脂肪饮食会导致肥胖、高血压等，而啤酒中的成分能减少这些损害，故curb此处意为“控制、抑制”。 26．细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Scientists at Oregon State University made the conclusion after testing xanthohumol (XN) on obese mice.(俄勒冈州立大学的科学家们在肥胖小鼠身上测试黄腐酚后得出了这一结论。)”可知，科学家通过对超重小鼠开展实验得出结论。 27．细节理解题。根据原文第四段“But Professor Stevens said they came across the “solution to the problem” by adding water to XN — which stopped the creation of 8-PN.(但史蒂文斯教授表示，他们找到了这一问题的解决办法，给黄腐酚加水，就能阻止8-PN 的生成。)”可知，给黄腐酚加水可以解决其存在副作用的问题。 （本题10分）Ageing is a natural process that affects everyone over time. It happens mainly because the cells in our body slowly wear out. While signs like wrinkles, gray hair, and age spots are visible on the outside, ageing also deeply impacts internal organs, physical strength, and mental function. As we age, our cells renew themselves more slowly. Their membranes (the walls around the cells) harden, which can affect how nutrients enter and waste leaves the cell. Damaged tissues take longer to repair, and overall organ performance may not be as good as before. In the brain, a protective coating around nerve fibers wears down, sometimes making it harder to recall memories or learn new things. Certain physical changes become more noticeable with time. For example, cartilage (软骨) in the nose and ears can change, which may make these features appear larger. Muscle and bone mass also decrease, leading to reduced strength and height. While ageing begins from early life, research suggests its pace may quicken around certain ages — studies point to noticeable shifts in the mid-30s, mid-40s, early 60s, and late 70s, often linked to changes in immune (免疫的) function, heart health, and metabolism (新陈代谢). Hearing and vision also commonly change with age. Many older adults experience presbycusis, a gradual hearing loss due to wear on the inner ear. Eyesight often declines as eye muscles weaken, lenses (晶状体) lose flexibility, and tear production decreases. These changes are normal, but sudden or severe loss should be checked by a doctor. Although ageing cannot be fully stopped, certain habits can support healthy ageing. Regular aerobic and strength exercise helps maintain heart health, muscle mass, and balance. A balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is also beneficial. Currently, such a way of life remains the most reliable way to slow down ageing. 28．(2.5分)What primarily drives the ageing process? A．The visible changes in our skin and hair. B．The reduced function of internal organs. C．The gradual damage to the body’s cells. D．The loss of muscle and bone mass over time. 29．(2.5分)What can we learn about brain ageing? A．It weakens one’s learning ability. B．It makes brain cells renew faster. C．It improves nutrient intake in brain cells. D．It always leads to serious memory diseases. 30．(2.5分)What works best for healthy ageing? A．Regular hospital physical checks. B．Sustained healthy daily habits. C．Taking various anti-ageing pills. D．Continuous medical research. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．What Is the Story of Healthy Ageing? B．How Does Our Body Slow Down Ageing? C．How Can We Live Longer and Healthier? D．What Happens to the Body During Ageing? 【答案】28．C 29．A 30．B 31．D 【导语】本文介绍了衰老的根本成因，分细胞、大脑、外形、感官多维度讲解衰老带来的身体变化，最后给出延缓衰老、健康老去的可靠生活方式。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“It happens mainly because the cells in our body slowly wear out. (衰老发生的主要原因是我们体内的细胞慢慢损耗老化。)”可知，身体细胞逐步受损老化是衰老过程的主要诱因。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“In the brain, a protective coating around nerve fibers wears down, sometimes making it harder to recall memories or learn new things. (大脑中神经纤维外层的保护鞘会损耗，有时会让人更难回忆往事、学习新事物。)”可知，大脑衰老会削弱人的学习能力。 30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Although ageing cannot be fully stopped, certain habits can support healthy ageing. Regular aerobic and strength exercise helps maintain heart health, muscle mass, and balance. A balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is also beneficial. Currently, such a way of life remains the most reliable way to slow down ageing. (虽然无法完全阻止衰老，但一些习惯有助于健康老去。规律的有氧运动和力量训练有助于维持心脏健康、肌肉质量和平衡感。均衡饮食，富含蔬菜、全谷物和优质蛋白也十分有益。目前，这样的生活方式仍是延缓衰老最可靠的途径。)”可知，长期坚持健康的日常习惯最利于健康衰老。 31．主旨大意题。第一段点明衰老是自然过程，根源是细胞损耗；第二段讲述细胞、大脑随衰老产生的内部变化；第三段介绍外貌、肌肉骨骼随年龄出现的明显改变；第四段说明听觉、视觉方面的衰老表现；第五段给出健康衰老的生活方式建议。全文核心围绕衰老期间人体发生的各类变化展开。由此可知，“What Happens to the Body During Ageing? (衰老时我们的身体会发生什么？)”最适合作为文章标题。 （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。 （本题12.5分）The historic city of Suzhou is crossed with canals. Old whitewashed buildings line the banks. A century ago some of these would have been Chaguans, or traditional teahouses, where locals gathered to discuss the news or conduct business. Today visitors are more likely to find shops serving a different kind of drink. There are dozens of Starbucks outlets in Suzhou, as well as other coffee sellers. 36(2.5分) And it became the country with the most branded coffee shops in the world. The early history of coffee in China is unclear. It is reported that it was Danes who opened the first coffee shop in the country in the 1830s. 37(2.5分) That was partly because the Qing dynasty looked down upon foreigners and sought to prevent their influence. A century later, Lu Xun, a celebrated author, wrote that he didn’t drink the stuff. “I always thought it was for the westerners.” He and most other Chinese people preferred tea. 38(2.5分) After China introduced market reforms and opened up to the world in the 1980s, foreign firms such as Maxwell House and Nestle brought instant coffee to the country. They appealed to local tastes, making their mixes sweeter and less bitter than what they sold elsewhere. 39(2.5分) Holding a Starbucks cup became a status symbol for them. Today, a wider range of the population owes thanks to the rise of domestic coffee chains selling affordable coffee. The leader is Luckin Coffee, with over 20,000 outlets. Starbucks, by comparison, has 7,300 shops. A cup of basic Luckin coffee is about a third of the price of an equal Starbucks offering. Luckin’s sales in China exceeded Starbucks’ for the first time in 2023. 40(2.5分) A．Last year China exceeded America. B．Both chains are expanding into smaller cities. C．Unfortunately, the drink didn’t catch on then. D．It was totally a different story fifty years later. E．Rising incomes led to more coffee consumption. F．Most coffee consumers were young clerks in big cities. G．The company’s freshly served coffee was favorably new to China. 【答案】36．A 37．C 38．D 39．F 40．B 【导语】文章以苏州咖啡店林立的景象切入，梳理了咖啡在中国从最初传入无人追捧、改革开放后速溶咖啡走入市场、星巴克成为身份象征，再到本土瑞幸崛起、两大品牌一同下沉布局小城市的完整发展历程。 【详解】36．根据下文“And it became the country with the most branded coffee shops in the world.(并且它成为全球品牌咖啡店数量最多的国家)”可知，代词it指代中国。A选项“Last year China exceeded America.(去年中国的咖啡店数量超越了美国)”，与后文构成递进关系，先赶超美国，再成为全球第一，上下文语意连贯。 37．根据上文“It is reported that it was Danes who opened the first coffee shop in the country in the 1830s.(据报道，19世纪30年代丹麦人在中国开设了第一家咖啡店)”介绍咖啡最早传入中国的史实，根据下文“That was partly because the Qing dynasty looked down upon foreigners and sought to prevent their influence.(部分原因是清朝轻视外国人，抵制外来文化影响)”解释咖啡没能流行的缘由。C选项“Unfortunately, the drink didn’t catch on then.(遗憾的是，咖啡在当时并没有流行开来)”承上启下，先点明早期咖啡遇冷的现状，后文给出具体原因，上下文为因果对应关系。 38．上段讲述近代时期咖啡不受国人待见。根据下文“After China introduced market reforms and opened up to the world in the 1980s, foreign firms such as Maxwell House and Nestle brought instant coffee to the country.(上世纪 80 年代，中国推行市场化改革并对外开放之后，麦斯威尔、雀巢等外资企业将速溶咖啡带入了中国市场)”D选项“It was totally a different story fifty years later.(五十年之后，情况就完全不一样了)”起到段落过渡作用，通过今昔对比，引出咖啡行业迎来发展的新阶段，上下文构成转折对比关系。 39．根据下文“Holding a Starbucks cup became a status symbol for them.(手握星巴克杯子对他们而言是一种身份的象征)”中them指代设空处人群。F选项“Most coffee consumers were young clerks in big cities.(彼时咖啡的消费群体大多是大城市里的年轻上班族)”明确了消费人群，后文阐述该群体饮用咖啡的心理，上下文构成指代承接、解释说明的关系。 40．根据上文“The leader is Luckin Coffee, with over 20,000 outlets. Starbucks, by comparison, has 7,300 shops. A cup of basic Luckin coffee is about a third of the price of an equal Starbucks offering. Luckin’s sales in China exceeded Starbucks’ for the first time in 2023.(瑞幸咖啡是行业龙头，门店数量超两万家。相较之下，星巴克仅有 7300 家门店。瑞幸一款基础款咖啡的售价，大约只有星巴克同等品类产品的三分之一。2023 年，瑞幸在国内的销售额首次超越星巴克。)”可知，对比了两大连锁品牌的规模与业绩。B选项“Both chains are expanding into smaller cities.(两家连锁品牌都正在向小城市扩张布局)”总结两大品牌当下共同的发展动向，收尾本段内容，上下文构成顺承总结关系。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Cooking has always been a small enjoyment of mine.

After all, I watched my grandma and mom cook it for as long as I can remember. They would place the turkey in the roaster and then put it in the oven (烤箱). And, just like that, every year a perfectly golden-brown, roasted turkey appeared on our festival table. But I never paid much attention to the process. My focus was only on the festival. I remember the year when things would be different. Although my dear grandma had been gone for several years, that was the first holiday when my mom had passed away a few days ago. Facing the first festival without my grandma or mom, I quickly realized I suddenly became responsible for the festival dinner. I felt sad and nervous. After all, I’d never cooked a turkey. But I was determined to fix a nice holiday dinner for my husband and our two teenagers. They’d been close to their grandma and missed her, so I wanted to make this festival special for them, to ease their sadness at least for a bit. After I purchased the frozen turkey in our neighborhood Kroger supermarket in the early morning, I went home to prepare the holiday dinner. Back home, sunlight streamed through the kitchen window where three generations of women had once stood. As I unwrapped the turkey and placed it on the counter, I started to panic, feeling completely lost. I even didn’t know where I should start from. Memories of the past time with my grandma and mom flooded into my mind. Tears started flowing slowly. Suddenly, I remembered my mom had an old cookbook which she got from my grandma. I searched for it in a box and finally found it. I opened it, flipping (翻阅) through the pages until I found the turkey recipe. 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。 With the recipe in hand, I felt a sense of relief. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, it was time to open the oven. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: With the recipe in hand, I felt a sense of relief. Each step was very detailed, just like the love and care my grandma and mom had poured into every meal. I gathered the ingredients, carefully measuring and mixing, trying to channel their spirit into this traditional dish. After some preparations, I put the turkey in the oven for it to be roasted. Every few minutes, I peeked through the oven window, my heart pounding. The kitchen began to fill with the comforting smell of roasting turkey, blending with the memories of past festivals. Finally, it was time to open the oven. A beautiful, golden-brown turkey greeted me. Tears welled up in my eyes. I managed to cook a turkey by myself, just as my grandma and mom used to do. That evening, as we sat around the table, sharing the meal, I saw the smiles on my family’s faces, especially the ones on my children’s. At that moment, I knew that even though my grandma and mom were no longer with us, their love and traditions would always be a part of our festivals. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了主人公在失去母亲和祖母后，首次尝试独立准备节日大餐——烤火鸡的故事。面对家庭传统与亲人的离去，她依靠祖传食谱逐步学习烹饪，最终成功制作出完美的火鸡，通过这一过程深刻感受到家族的爱与传统的延续。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“手中有了食谱，我感到一丝释然。”可知，第一段可描写主人公根据祖传食谱一步步准备烤火鸡的过程，包括回忆起与祖母和母亲一起度过的时光以及如何将这些回忆融入到烹饪中。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于到了打开烤箱的时候了。”可知，第二段可描写火鸡成功烤制后的喜悦心情，以及家人围坐在餐桌旁共享这顿特别晚餐的温馨场景，表达出尽管亲人已逝，但他们的爱与传统依然存在于家庭之中。   2. 续写线索：获得祖传食谱——回忆往昔时光——逐步准备火鸡——烤制过程中满怀期待——火鸡成功出炉——全家共享温馨晚餐——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①收集：gather/assemble ②放：put/place ③窥视：peek/peep 情绪类 ①我的心跳加速：my heart pounding/my heart racing ②泪水涌出：tears well up in my eyes/tears stream down my face 【点睛】【高分句型1】That evening, as we sat around the table, sharing the meal, I saw the smiles on my family’s faces, especially the ones on my children’s.

Here are some major diet trends that are popular nowadays.Keto (酮类的) diet By severely restricting carbohydrates, the keto diet forces the body to burn fat. It rose to fame online for fast weight loss, often due to water and calorie loss. However, long-term safety evidence remains insufficient, and high consumption of red meat and unhealthy fats may compromise nutritional balance.Atkins diet Like the keto diet, this kind of diet restricts carbohydrates while encouraging higher fat and protein intake. It regained popularity in the early 2000s for quick weight loss. Short-term weight loss is possible, but long-term results are similar to other diets when calorie intake is equal. Highly processed meat intake may increase the risk of diseases if lasting for a long time.Vegetarian diet This diet removes meat but often includes dairy and eggs, offering flexibility. Originating from cultural traditions, it gained modern popularity for health reasons. When centered on whole grains, fresh vegetables, and low-fat dairy, it supports a healthy weight and lowers blood pressure.Mediterranean diet Focusing on olive oil, whole grains, and fresh produce, this diet minimizes processed foods and unhealthy fats. Inspired by low heart disease rates in Mediterranean regions, it gained expert recommendation. Scientific evidence supports its ability to lower fat levels, cut heart disease risk, and enhance long-term health outcomes. Given the advantages and disadvantages of these diets, you’d better choose a diet that you can maintain. Ideally, it should provide adequate nutrients, limit processed foods, and keep your energy stable. Therefore, never rush into a new diet; you had better evaluate your health condition and ensure the pattern suits your lifestyle. 21．(2.5分)Which is the common feature of keto diet and Atkins diet? A．Limiting carbohydrates. B．Limiting protein intake. C．Increasing total calorie intake. D．Increasing consumption of vegetables. 22．(2.5分)What kind of diet wins professional recognition? A．Keto diet. B．Atkins diet. C．Vegetarian diet. D．Mediterranean diet. 23．(2.5分)What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To issue a warning. B．To offer suggestions. C．To make an appeal. D．To draw comparisons. （本题10分）It’s not what you would consider to be a healthy drink. But research suggests drinking beer can actually lower your blood pressure and reduce your weight. Xanthohumol (黄腐酚), contained in beer, could reduce damage done by high-fat diets, scientists claim. Such diets lead to a series of conditions including obesity, high blood pressure and blood sugar. But trials on mice fed with high-fat foods showed that giving them beer could curb some of the conditions. Figures suggest a quarter of adults in the UK suffer from metabolic syndrome (代谢综合征), and around 35 percent of Americans are believed to have it. It puts you at greater risk of developing heart disease — the world’s leading killer — but it can be changed by making healthy lifestyle changes. Scientists at Oregon State University made the conclusion after testing xanthohumol (XN) on obese mice. The findings back up previous research that has suggested the compounds could be used in future to treat metabolic syndrome. And they offer fresh hope for fighting metabolic syndrome, because they cause no potential side effects unlike compounds under current tests. Xanthohumol is known to transform into 8-PN, and researchers have long been criticized for the side effects. Professor Fred Stevens, lead author, said, “If someone took XN over longer periods of time, it could lead to side effects, potentially.” But Professor Stevens said they came across the “solution to the problem” by adding water to XN — which stopped the creation of 8-PN. And various tests on mice, published in the journal Scientific Reports, showed the derivatives worked but caused no harm. High-fat diets also lead to memory loss — but the compounds allowed mice to keep their learning, the researchers found. 24．(2.5分)What does the research mentioned in the first paragraph find? A．Beer is in a way good for people’s health. B．Beer is totally harmful to people’s health. C．High-fat diets are very popular with people. D．High-fat diets can lower people’s blood pressure. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “curb” in the first paragraph probably mean? A．Increase. B．Control. C．Cause. D．Continue. 26．(2.5分)How did scientists at Oregon State University draw their conclusion? A．They studied some normal mice. B．They compared the results of different studies. C．They observed some patients with heart disease. D．They conducted tests on some overweight mice. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following can solve the side effects of XN? A．Keeping learning. B．Doing more tests on mice. C．Adding some water to XN. D．Drinking more beer if possible. （本题10分）Ageing is a natural process that affects everyone over time. It happens mainly because the cells in our body slowly wear out. While signs like wrinkles, gray hair, and age spots are visible on the outside, ageing also deeply impacts internal organs, physical strength, and mental function. As we age, our cells renew themselves more slowly. Their membranes (the walls around the cells) harden, which can affect how nutrients enter and waste leaves the cell. Damaged tissues take longer to repair, and overall organ performance may not be as good as before. In the brain, a protective coating around nerve fibers wears down, sometimes making it harder to recall memories or learn new things. Certain physical changes become more noticeable with time. For example, cartilage (软骨) in the nose and ears can change, which may make these features appear larger. Muscle and bone mass also decrease, leading to reduced strength and height. While ageing begins from early life, research suggests its pace may quicken around certain ages — studies point to noticeable shifts in the mid-30s, mid-40s, early 60s, and late 70s, often linked to changes in immune (免疫的) function, heart health, and metabolism (新陈代谢). Hearing and vision also commonly change with age. Many older adults experience presbycusis, a gradual hearing loss due to wear on the inner ear. Eyesight often declines as eye muscles weaken, lenses (晶状体) lose flexibility, and tear production decreases. These changes are normal, but sudden or severe loss should be checked by a doctor. Although ageing cannot be fully stopped, certain habits can support healthy ageing. Regular aerobic and strength exercise helps maintain heart health, muscle mass, and balance. A balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is also beneficial. Currently, such a way of life remains the most reliable way to slow down ageing. 28．(2.5分)What primarily drives the ageing process? A．The visible changes in our skin and hair. B．The reduced function of internal organs. C．The gradual damage to the body’s cells. D．The loss of muscle and bone mass over time. 29．(2.5分)What can we learn about brain ageing? A．It weakens one’s learning ability. B．It makes brain cells renew faster. C．It improves nutrient intake in brain cells. D．It always leads to serious memory diseases. 30．(2.5分)What works best for healthy ageing? A．Regular hospital physical checks. B．Sustained healthy daily habits. C．Taking various anti-ageing pills. D．Continuous medical research. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．What Is the Story of Healthy Ageing? B．How Does Our Body Slow Down Ageing? C．How Can We Live Longer and Healthier? D．What Happens to the Body During Ageing? （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 historic city of Suzhou is crossed with canals. Old whitewashed buildings line the banks. A century ago some of these would have been Chaguans, or traditional teahouses, where locals gathered to discuss the news or conduct business. Today visitors are more likely to find shops serving a different kind of drink. There are dozens of Starbucks outlets in Suzhou, as well as other coffee sellers. 36(2.5分) And it became the country with the most branded coffee shops in the world. The early history of coffee in China is unclear. It is reported that it was Danes who opened the first coffee shop in the country in the 1830s. 37(2.5分) That was partly because the Qing dynasty looked down upon foreigners and sought to prevent their influence. A century later, Lu Xun, a celebrated author, wrote that he didn’t drink the stuff. “I always thought it was for the westerners.” He and most other Chinese people preferred tea. 38(2.5分) After China introduced market reforms and opened up to the world in the 1980s, foreign firms such as Maxwell House and Nestle brought instant coffee to the country. They appealed to local tastes, making their mixes sweeter and less bitter than what they sold elsewhere. 39(2.5分) Holding a Starbucks cup became a status symbol for them. Today, a wider range of the population owes thanks to the rise of domestic coffee chains selling affordable coffee. The leader is Luckin Coffee, with over 20,000 outlets. Starbucks, by comparison, has 7,300 shops. A cup of basic Luckin coffee is about a third of the price of an equal Starbucks offering. Luckin’s sales in China exceeded Starbucks’ for the first time in 2023. 40(2.5分) A．Last year China exceeded America. B．Both chains are expanding into smaller cities. C．Unfortunately, the drink didn’t catch on then. D．It was totally a different story fifty years later. E．Rising incomes led to more coffee consumption. F．Most coffee consumers were young clerks in big cities. G．The company’s freshly served coffee was favorably new to China. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Cooking has always been a small enjoyment of mine. About a decade ago, I found great 41 in creating delicious meals from beginning. However, a series of 42 , including a few unfortunate cuts, left me 43 to cook. So I gradually distanced myself from 44 , relying more on my husband to cook or takeout. Recently, however, I decided to 45 my love for cooking, and it’s been transformative. Getting back into cooking wasn’t easy. Memories of past accidents with my hands remained, and the fear of 46   myself again appeared. However, as the 47 of living continued to rise, I realized that relying only on restaurants wasn’t sustainable. So, with 48 , I stepped back into the kitchen. One 49 that has truly refueled my passion for cooking is Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon (红酒炖牛肉). When the movie Julie and Julia came out, I fell in love with cooking but never 50 this classic French dish. It’s certainly a 51 of love, requiring a lot of time, 52 , and attention to detail. From seasoning the beef with salt and pepper to mixing it with wine, every 53 is a joyous celebration of flavor and technique. Making it for the first time gave me a sense of 54 , reminding me why I fell in love with cooking. Cooking doesn’t have to be a 55 — it can be a form of self-expression. 41．(1分)A．loss B．joy C．courage D．trouble 42．(1分)A．choices B．treatments C．accidents D．questions 43．(1分)A．hesitant B．excited C．curious D．ready 44．(1分)A．cleaning B．cooking C．hospital D．restaurant 45．(1分)A．convey B．test C．forget D．rediscover 46．(1分)A．injuring B．excusing C．blaming D．changing 47．(1分)A．level B．value C．quality D．cost 48．(1分)A．energy B．dream C．determination D．pleasure 49．(1分)A．gift B．dish C．idea D．advertisement 50．(1分)A．sold B．mentioned C．attempted D．accepted 51．(1分)A．labor B．rule C．mark D．promise 52．(1分)A．space B．belief C．caution D．patience 53．(1分)A．dish B．event C．step D．secret 54．(1分)A．relief B．success C．warmth D．responsibility 55．(1分)A．burden B．surprise C．regret D．danger 四、语法填空 （本题15分）Tea, the most consumed drink after water, 56(1.5分) (list) among China’s seven daily necessities in ancient times. Since tea was first used thousands of years ago, it has become deeply rooted in daily life and formed a special culture. An exhibition at the Palace Museum in Beijing tries to uncover 57(1.5分) lies behind its lasting power. “The World of Tea” shows 555 exhibits from museums around the world in four sections. They trace the origin of Chinese tea culture, its philosophical ideas, and its 58(1.5分) (influence) role in shaping other civilizations. Shennong is said to have discovered tea’s medicinal properties. But finds like 6,000-year-old tea roots from Zhejiang and leaf remains from a Shandong tomb prove tea drinking began at least 2,400 years ago. For ancient scholars, tea was more than a daily drink. They coined the term “chadao” 59(1.5分) (reflect) their respect for nature and desire for inner peace. Song Dynasty paintings show scholars meeting in beautiful teahouses, 60(1.5分) they enjoyed calligraphy, exchanged ideas, and drank tea. This practice, first popular among the upper class, slowly won wide 61(1.5分) (accept) across all social groups. Emperor Qianlong, a tea lover, built over a dozen teahouses in Beijing, each 62(1.5分) (feature) a mix of Chinese and Western styles. The exhibition recreates one based on his own painting. Qing-dynasty tea bricks are also on display. Their varied shapes and 63(1.5分) (endure) charm still interest visitors today. 64(1.5分) tea culture went through many changes across dynasties, its core values — harmony, respect, and tranquility — stayed the same. The museum has set up interactive zones, offering visitors a 65(1.5分) (history) journey through tea history and art. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你校英语角正举行“中国文化的智慧”主题分享活动。请你写一篇英文发言稿，分享中国人的“筷子文化”。内容包括：介绍筷子文化；筷子背后的智慧。 注意：1．词数80词左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，使行文连贯； 3．开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Hi, everyone! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for your listening! 六、书面表达 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。 How hard could it be to cook a turkey? After all, I watched my grandma and mom cook it for as long as I can remember. They would place the turkey in the roaster and then put it in the oven (烤箱). And, just like that, every year a perfectly golden-brown, roasted turkey appeared on our festival table. But I never paid much attention to the process. My focus was only on the festival. I remember the year when things would be different. Although my dear grandma had been gone for several years, that was the first holiday when my mom had passed away a few days ago. Facing the first festival without my grandma or mom, I quickly realized I suddenly became responsible for the festival dinner. I felt sad and nervous. After all, I’d never cooked a turkey. But I was determined to fix a nice holiday dinner for my husband and our two teenagers. They’d been close to their grandma and missed her, so I wanted to make this festival special for them, to ease their sadness at least for a bit. After I purchased the frozen turkey in our neighborhood Kroger supermarket in the early morning, I went home to prepare the holiday dinner. Back home, sunlight streamed through the kitchen window where three generations of women had once stood. As I unwrapped the turkey and placed it on the counter, I started to panic, feeling completely lost. I even didn’t know where I should start from. Memories of the past time with my grandma and mom flooded into my mind. Tears started flowing slowly. Suddenly, I remembered my mom had an old cookbook which she got from my grandma. I searched for it in a box and finally found it. I opened it, flipping (翻阅) through the pages until I found the turkey recipe. 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。 With the recipe in hand, I felt a sense of relief. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, it was time to open the oven. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
