Learning to understand the most common date codes helps you make sure your canned foods stay fresh and safe to eat. Some canned foods have a clear “use by” date printed on the can or its label. For those without such a date, you can usually find a coded date on the top or bottom of the can and decode it as follows. Step 1 — Check the first character Check the first number or letter in the code. Numbers 1 to 9 often stand for the months from January to September in order. On many cans, the letter O usually means October, N stands for November, and D represents December. Step 2 — Try the alphabetical system Simply match letters A to L with the months January through December in alphabetical order. Some companies use this way of coding to mark months. You need to be careful when decoding these marks if you want to confirm the exact month. D may mean April or December, depending on the coding system the producer uses. Step 3 — Read the day and year Work out the numbers to find the specific date and year. Many companies use two digits after the first character in the code for the day, and one digit for the year. The digit for the year is normally the last digit of that year. For example, the year mark for 2011 would be 1. Step 4 — Try a Julian date Find the corresponding (相应的) Julian date from the code if the numbers cannot be read as month, day and year. A Julian date shows which day it is in a whole year. For example, Jan. 1 would be 1 and Dec. 31 would be 365 if a Julian date is used. 21．(2.5分)What do we know about the coding systems in Step 1 and Step 2? A．They use numbers for days. B．Months are coded randomly. C．Letters are used to mark months. D．They follow the same coding rules. 22．(2.5分)What number represents Feb. 10 if a Julian date is used? A．10. B．41. C．102. D．210. 23．(2.5分)Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from? A．Everyday Health. B．Green Life. C．Money Smart. D．Home Improvement. 【答案】21．C 22．B 23．A 【导语】文章主要讲的是如何解读罐头食品上的常见日期代码，从而判断罐头食品的新鲜程度和食用安全性。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据Step 1 — Check the first character中的“Numbers 1 to 9 often stand for the months from January to September in order. On many cans, the letter O usually means October, N stands for November, and D represents December.(数字 1 到 9 通常依次代表一月至九月。在很多罐头上面，字母 O 通常代表十月，N 代表十一月，D 代表十二月。)”以及Step 2 — Try the alphabetical system中的“Simply match letters A to L with the months January through December in alphabetical order. Some companies use this way of coding to mark months.(简单地将字母 A 到 L 按照字母顺序对应一月到十二月。一些公司使用这种编码方式标记月份。)”可知，步骤一和步骤二均会使用字母来标记月份。 22．细节理解题。根据Step 4中的“Find the corresponding Julian date from the code if the numbers cannot be read as month, day and year. A Julian date shows which day it is in a whole year. For example, Jan. 1 would be 1 and Dec. 31 would be 365 if a Julian date is used.(如果数字不能读取为月、日和年，请从代码中查找相应的儒略日期。儒略历日期表示一年中的哪一天。例如，如果使用儒略历日期，1月1日将是1，12月31日将是365)”可知，儒略历日期表示某一天在一年中的第几天，例如1月1日为1，12月31日为365。1月有31天，因此2月10日是一年中的第31+10=41天，对应的儒略历日期为41。 23．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍如何解读罐头食品上的日期代码，以帮助人们保证食品新鲜和安全食用，这与日常饮食健康密切相关，因此最可能出自杂志的“日常健康”版块。 （本题10分）My teenage son Eric prefers takeout whenever staying home alone. To him, cooking is a waste of time, and delivered food is far more convenient. Last summer vacation, my husband and I set a family rule: We would cook a full meal together every weekend instead of ordering online. Our first cooking weekend started badly. Eric sighed the moment we asked him to help. “Why cook ourselves when food arrives in minutes?” he complained. We divided tasks clearly: I washed greens, my husband cut meat, and Eric sliced potatoes and mixed condiments (调味料). At first, he spilled salt and cut uneven slices. After several tries, he got the hang of the work. When steaming dishes filled the table, Eric stared in surprise. He never expected simple team work to create such tasty food. I still remember learning cooking as a teen. My mother let me help in the kitchen daily after school. I kept a notebook recording steps and mistakes to track my small progress. Back then housework felt boring, yet those repeated hands-on jobs slowly built my sense of responsibility. Home cooking brings many challenges. Fresh food goes bad easily, and different dishes require different skills. The whole process has over ten steps, with cleaning ingredients (食材) and heat control being the most important. Cleaning guarantees food safety, and proper heat improves flavor. After months of weekend practice, we won a small prize at the community family activity. Each weekend offers a new cooking experience. On a rainy day, we tried grandma’s traditional local dish. Its complex steps defeated us three times before we got the right taste. Whenever our dishes tasted terrible, my notebook helped us find mistakes quickly. Up to now, Eric has joined over forty cooking activities. “If we fully depend on takeout, we will miss chances to learn practical life skills. I no longer dislike kitchen work. The more I cook with the family, the more useful lessons I gain,’ Eric said. 24．(2.5分)What used to be Eric’s main choice of food at home alone? A．Home-made meals. B．Ordered meals. C．Store-bought snacks. D．Grandma’s dishes. 25．(2.5分)How did Eric feel after finishing his kitchen work on the first weekend? A．Annoyed. B．Confused. C．Astonished. D．Regretful. 26．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the author’s notebook? A．It helped her improve cooking skills. B．It won a community activity prize. C．It recorded grandma’s traditional dishes. D．It marked down her progress. 27．(2.5分)What has Eric come to realize about cooking? A．Takeout brings great convenience. B．Cooking needs complex steps. C．Traditional dishes taste better. D．Labor benefits teens’ growth. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．A 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者一家周末共同做饭，儿子埃里克从偏爱外卖爱上下厨并收获成长。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My teenage son Eric prefers takeout whenever staying home alone.(我十几岁的儿子埃里克独自在家时总偏爱外卖。)”可知，埃里克独自在家时主要选择外卖。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When steaming dishes filled the table, Eric stared in surprise.(热气腾腾的菜肴摆满餐桌时，埃里克吃惊地瞪大了眼睛。)”可知做完第一顿饭后埃里克十分惊讶。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I still remember learning cooking as a teen. My mother let me help in the kitchen daily after school. I kept a notebook recording steps and mistakes to track my small progress.(我至今还记得年少时学做饭的经历。母亲每天放学后都会让我在厨房打下手。我记了一本笔记，记录步骤与失误，以此记录自己微小的进步。)”可知这本笔记帮作者复盘失误、记录进步，提升厨艺。故选A项。 27．推理判断题。根据第六段中的“If we fully depend on takeout, we will miss chances to learn practical life skills. I no longer dislike kitchen work. The more I cook with the family, the more useful lessons I gain.(如果我们完全依赖外卖，就会错失学习实用生活技能的机会。我不再讨厌厨房活，和家人做饭越多，收获的有益道理就越多。)”可推出埃里克意识到下厨劳作对青少年成长有益。 （本题10分）Fermented (发酵的) foods are enjoyed worldwide for their strong, often salty and spicy tastes. This makes them particularly attractive to astronauts, who report that their sense of taste can get weaker in space. Although many dishes have been prepared on the International Space Station (ISS), nothing has ever been fermented there. Indeed, given that microgravity and strong energy rays from space might affect the microbial (微生物的) interactions needed for this process, it has always been unclear if fermentation was even possible in space. Now, researchers Maggie Coble from Massachusetts and Josh Evans from Denmark have proved that fermentation is possible by creating miso, a kind of condiment (酱料), in space. They first prepared a ready-to-ferment mixture using cooked soybeans, salt and rice previously fermented. The mixture was separated into three containers and frozen. One remained in Denmark, one went to Massachusetts, and one was sent to Houston for transport to the ISS. All of them fermented for several weeks. When the miso returned to Earth for analysis, researchers identified all the chemicals normally found in this condiment. Taste tests showed that the taste was similar compared to Danish and Massachusetts miso. Even so, it was different enough for the researchers to call it “space miso”. The space miso had a stronger sweet taste than the Earth-made miso, coming from high levels of C7H₁₀O2, the same chemical also found in honey and some wines. It also had a stronger cheese-like taste, probably resulting from higher concentrations of an acid, a type of chemical. Why these chemicals appeared in greater amounts remains unconfirmed, but microgravity is the likely cause. Under normal conditions on Earth, a small amount of gas produced by microbes during fermentation simply rises upwards to the surface. Not so in space. In microgravity, the gas travel in all directions, probably affecting microbial growth by changing how important gases like oxygen spread around. Now that fermentation has been shown to be possible, the door opens for producing other foods for future space travelers. 28．(2.5分)What makes fermentation difficult in space? A．The strong tastes of fermented foods. B．The variety of food prepared on the ISS. C．Special conditions of space environment. D．Astronauts’ weak sense of taste in space. 29．(2.5分)What approach did the researchers adopt in the experiment? A．A research using different materials. B．A study of several kinds of condiments. C．A test on different fermentation periods. D．A comparison in different environments. 30．(2.5分)How does space miso differ from regular one? A．A distinct cheese taste. B．Increased chemical types. C．A honey-and-wine-like note. D．Reduced sugar concentration. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude toward the space fermentation research? A．Unclear. B．Hopeful. C．Doubtful. D．Objective. 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．A 31．B 【导语】文章主要介绍了科学家在太空成功进行发酵实验，制作出“太空味噌”的研究。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Although many dishes have been prepared on the International Space Station (ISS), nothing has ever been fermented there. Indeed, given that microgravity and strong energy rays from space might affect the microbial (微生物的) interactions needed for this process, it has always been unclear if fermentation was even possible in space.(尽管国际空间站上已制作过许多菜肴，但从未进行过发酵。事实上，鉴于微重力和来自太空的强烈射线可能会影响这一过程所需的微生物相互作用，发酵在太空中是否可行尚不清楚)”可知，太空环境的特殊条件使发酵变得困难。 29．推理判断题。根据第二段中“They first prepared a ready-to-ferment mixture using cooked soybeans, salt and rice previously fermented. The mixture was separated into three containers and frozen. One remained in Denmark, one went to Massachusetts, and one was sent to Houston for transport to the ISS. All of them fermented for several weeks. (他们首先用煮熟的大豆、盐和事先发酵过的大米准备了一种随时可以发酵的混合物。混合物被分成三个容器并冷冻。一个留在丹麦，一个去了马萨诸塞州，一个被送到休斯顿运往国际空间站。它们都发酵了数周)”可知，研究人员将同样的混合物送到不同地方进行发酵，采用了不同环境下的对比研究。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段中“It also had a stronger cheese-like taste, probably resulting from higher concentrations of an acid, a type of chemical.(它还具有更浓郁的奶酪味，可能是由于某种酸(一类化学物质)浓度更高所致)”可知，太空味噌与普通味噌的差异在于有一种浓郁、独特的奶酪味。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now that fermentation has been shown to be possible, the door opens for producing other foods for future space travelers. (既然发酵已被证明是可能的，为未来太空旅行者生产其他食物的大门已经打开)”可知，作者认为这项研究打开了未来太空旅行者生产其他食物的大门，说明作者对这项空间发酵研究充满希望。 （本题10分）Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reducing the risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks is have remained a mystery. In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system. A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years. But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans. “When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope.” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.” Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to aging and disease. “These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr. John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.” So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand. 32．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To explore the history of caffeine consumption. B．To identify how caffeine influences cell aging. C．To compare human cells with fission yeast cells. D．To find new use of caffeine in cell reproduction. 33．(2.5分)What does TOR serve as? A．A sign of aging. B．An energy source. C．A growth command center. D．A cellular fuel gauge. 34．(2.5分)What does John-Patrick suggest about the research? A．Possible direction for further research. B．Benefits of present applications. C．Characteristics of the research. D．Choice of new research methods. 35．(2.5分)What can be the best title for the text? A．AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long. B．Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch. C．The Yeast Model Unlocks Aging’s Hidden Pathways. D．Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．A 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了咖啡因如何通过影响细胞内的能量系统来减缓细胞衰老，并探讨了这一发现对未来健康研究的潜在影响。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(在一项针对裂殖酵母的新研究中，研究人员发现，咖啡因通过利用一种古老的细胞能量系统来影响衰老，裂殖酵母是一种与人类细胞惊人相似的单细胞生物)”可知，这项新研究的主要目的是确定咖啡因如何影响细胞衰老。故选B项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available.(TOR是一种生物开关，根据可用食物和能量的多少告诉细胞何时生长)”可知，TOR是细胞生长的指令中心，根据可用食物和能量的多少来告诉细胞何时生长。故选C项。 34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.(它们为未来的研究开辟了令人兴奋的可能性，即我们如何通过饮食、生活方式或新药物更直接地改变这些影响)”可知，John-Patrick的话指出了这项研究带来的潜在未来研究方向，即通过饮食、生活方式或新药物来更直接地改变咖啡因对细胞的影响。故选A项。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(在一项针对裂殖酵母的新研究中，研究人员发现，咖啡因通过利用一种古老的细胞能量系统来影响衰老，裂殖酵母是一种与人类细胞惊人相似的单细胞生物)”可知，文章介绍了一项科学研究，揭示了咖啡因通过激活细胞内的AMPK能量监测系统，进而影响细胞生长、DNA修复和应激反应，这些都与延缓衰老和促进长寿有关。同时，文章结尾“So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand.(所以，下次你去拿咖啡的时候，你所做的可能不仅仅是提高你的注意力——你还可以帮助你的细胞)”将这一发现与日常饮用咖啡联系起来。B项“Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch.(你的晨间咖啡可能触发一个长寿开关)”既形象地体现了核心机制(激活AMPK)，又关联了咖啡这一日常饮品，准确且吸引人，适合作为标题。故选B项。 （本题12.5分）For many people, “eat less” backfires (适得其反) because it focuses on reducing calories without addressing how hunger and eating behavior actually work. 36(2.5分) — the weight and physical amount of food on their plate — rather than by counting calories. But when portion sizes reduce dramatically under restrictive diets, meals may leave one feeling hungry. “ 37(2.5分) . Because people tend to have an idea of how much food is appropriate,” says Barbara Rolls, a professor of nutrition sciences at the Laboratory for the Study of Human Ingestive Behavior at Penn State. The problem is compounded (恶化) when those smaller portions are made up of calorie-dense foods — like chips, or heavily processed meals. 38(2.5分) . Many ultra-processed foods are also designed to be eaten quickly. They often combine refined (精制的) carbohydrates, fats, and salt in ways that make them highly tasty, while being low in water and fiber. That combination allows people to consume calories rapidly. 39(2.5分) . Timing plays a critical role. 40(2.5分) . It can take 15 to 20 minutes for stretch receptors in the stomach to register fullness. By then, fast, energy-dense foods may already have delivered hundreds of calories. “That’s part of the reason why “eat less” isn’t just a matter of self-control, because the body is physiologically and psychologically wired to keep eating under these conditions,” says Barbara Rolls. A．I don’t like the “eat less” message B．Thirty minutes for a meal is enough C．I’m telling people to eat better quality D．This occurs before the body has time to respond E．People tend to control how much they eat by volume F．They can pack in substantial energy without taking up much space G．Signals telling the brain you’ve had enough don’t switch on immediately 【答案】36．E 37．A 38．F 39．D 40．G 【导语】文章主要介绍了为何单纯强调“少吃”的节食建议往往适得其反。 【详解】36．根据后文“the weight and physical amount of food on their plate — rather than by counting calories. But when portion sizes reduce dramatically under restrictive diets, meals may leave one feeling hungry. (食物的分量和实际摄入量，而不是通过计算卡路里来衡量。但当节食饮食大幅减少食量时，用餐后可能会让人感到饥饿。)”可知，空后提到人们依据餐盘里食物的重量和实物量判断进食、而非数卡路里，对应E选项“人们倾向于通过食物的分量来控制进食量”，逻辑衔接顺畅。 37．根据后文“Because people tend to have an idea of how much food is appropriate,” says Barbara Rolls, a professor of nutrition sciences at the Laboratory for the Study of Human Ingestive Behavior at Penn State. (“因为人们通常会有一个关于食物摄入量的合理范围的想法，”宾夕法尼亚州立大学人类摄食行为研究实验室营养科学教授芭芭拉·罗尔斯表示。)”可知，后文教授直接表态否定“少吃”口号，because给出心理学依据：人对合适进食量有固有认知，强行少吃就会饥饿。A选项“我不喜欢“少吃”的说法”符合语境。 38．根据上文“The problem is compounded (恶化) when those smaller portions are made up of calorie-dense foods — like chips, or heavily processed meals. (当这些较小的份量包含高热量食物时，问题就会进一步恶化——比如薯片或加工过度的餐食。)”可知，前文提到小份的高热量密度食物（薯片、深度加工餐）的问题，F选项“它们能在不占太多空间的情况下蕴含大量能量”是对这类高能量密度食物特性的补充说明。 39．根据上文“Many ultra-processed foods are also designed to be eaten quickly. They often combine refined (精制的) carbohydrates, fats, and salt in ways that make them highly tasty, while being low in water and fiber. That combination allows people to consume calories rapidly. (许多高度加工食品也设计成便于快速食用。它们通常将精制碳水化合物、脂肪和盐以某种方式结合，使其味道鲜美，同时水分和纤维含量较低。这种组合使人们能够迅速摄入热量。)”可知，前文提到这类超加工食品的组合让人们可以快速摄入大量卡路里，D选项“这种情况发生在身体有时间做出（饱腹）反应之前”承接快速摄入热量的结果。 40．根据后文“It can take 15 to 20 minutes for stretch receptors in the stomach to register fullness.

(胃部的伸展感受器可能需要15到20分钟才能感知饱腹感。而在此期间，高热量、可快速食用的高能量密度食物可能已经摄入了数百大卡的热量。)”可知，空后提到胃部的拉伸感受器需要15-20分钟才能传递饱腹信号，G选项“告知大脑已经吃饱的信号不会立刻启动”对应后文的时间差原理，逻辑连贯。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Simone smiled when she received another A on her paper.

What changed everything was a Pu’er tea cake — a gift my mother brought home from China. From the moment I 56(1.5分) (drink) my first cup of ripe Pu’er as a child, these leaves have been guiding my life. I was simply drawn to its comforting 57(1.5分) (warm). It was this flavor 58(1.5分) sparked my curiosity about China. In 2018, I traveled to China, quitting commerce studies to major in tea culture at Zhejiang A&F University. I joined teachers in major tea-producing regions every season 59(1.5分) (practise) my craft. People often ask why I would travel so far to study tea in China. The answer lies in the first cup of Pu’er. When you are 60(1.5分) (true) conquered by a flavor, you can’t help but seek its source. Before graduation, I traveled to Yunnan in search of the origins of Pu’er, exploring places like Jingmai Mountain, 61(1.5分) ancient tea trees integrate with forests. The air carried the scent of tea leaves 62(1.5分) (mix) with soil. Walking there, I felt completely 63(1.5分) ease. Yunnan’s natural conditions, tea tree 64(1.5分) (resource) and natural diversity gave me the sense that I could study them for a lifetime. In 2025, I joined 65(1.5分) graduate program in tea science at Yunnan Agricultural University, focusing on Pu’er processing technology. I want to explore deeper into tea production in the future. It may be a long journey, but I’m in no rush. 【答案】 56．drank 57．warmth 58．that 59．to practise/to practice 60．truly 61．where 62．mixed 63．at 64．resources 65．a 【导语】本文作者讲述了自己因一块普洱茶饼与中国结缘，最终远赴中国学习茶文化、探索普洱茶起源的个人经历。 【详解】56．考查动词时态。句意：从我小时候喝下第一杯熟普的那一刻起，这些茶叶就一直指引着我的人生。根据从句时间状语From the moment以及主句的现在完成时可知，从句描述过去的某一具体时刻的动作，应用一般过去时。 57．考查名词。句意：我只是被它那种令人安心的温暖所吸引。空处作介词to的宾语，且由形容词comforting修饰，应用名词warmth，不可数名词。 58．考查强调句式。句意：正是这种味道激发了我对中国的好奇心。此处构成强调句型“It was...that...”，强调主语this flavor。 59．考查非谓语动词。句意：每个季节我都和老师们一起去主要的产茶区练习我的手艺。空处作目的状语，应用动词不定式to practise或to practice。 60．考查副词。句意：当你真正被一种味道征服时，你会忍不住去追寻它的源头。空处修饰动词conquered，应用副词truly作状语。 61．考查定语从句。句意：毕业前，我前往云南探寻普洱茶的起源，探访了景迈山等地，那里古茶树与森林融为一体。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Jingmai Mountain，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。 62．考查非谓语动词。句意：空气中弥漫着茶叶与泥土混合的气息。动词mix与名词the scent of tea leaves之间是被动关系，应用过去分词短语mixed作后置定语。 63．考查介词。句意：走在那里，我感到完全自在。at ease是固定短语，意为“自在，放松”。 64．考查名词复数。句意：云南的自然条件、茶树资源和自然多样性让我觉得我可以研究它们一辈子。resource为可数名词，此处表示多种资源，应用复数形式。 65．考查冠词。句意：2025年，我加入了云南农业大学的一个茶科学研究生项目，专注于普洱茶加工技术。program为可数名词，此处泛指“一个研究生项目”，应用不定冠词，且graduate是发音以辅音音素开头的词，应用不定冠词a。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）你将参加英语课上的“一分钟演讲”活动。请针对“部分同学不吃早餐”的现象，写一篇英文演讲稿，内容包括： （1）陈述看法； （2）提出建议。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 My Views on Skipping Breakfast _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： My Views on Skipping Breakfast Good morning, everyone.

Just the first dish made my face and clothes all covered in oil and rice. It was the first time for me to try to cook a dish. My best friend Lily had promised to help, but she’d texted that evening about a family emergency. Now I was alone, facing the ultimate challenge: cooking fried rice for our weekend dinner. To make matters worse, I’d always been nervous around the stove, afraid that the oil might catch fire. Although I had learned basic kitchen safety at school, facing a real pan felt entirely different for me. What my father said yesterday echoed in my ears, “Remember, son, cooking is just like an experiment in mixing chemical ingredients you can eat!” It was easy for him to say — he was a chemistry professor who could somehow burn water. However, my mom, a Chinese language teacher, often created culinary magic in the kitchen. She made it effortlessly, dancing between the stove and chopping board like some kind of culinary ballet dancer. “The key is preparation and patience,” she once told me. “And always taste as you go.” But today was my turn to surprise them both. I fired up the pan again, watching the oil shine like liquid gold. The onions hit the pan with a satisfying sound, and I felt a sense of confidence. Then Lily made a video call. Seeing my face, she laughed, “Ha-ha, you are just like a little cat.” Then she reminded me, “Don’t forget to use the rice cooked yesterday so it’s dry enough!” My heart sank. Yesterday? I’d been so focused on the protein and vegetables that I’d completely overlooked the most basic ingredient. The rice I’d cooked this morning was still warm and sticky, completely wrong for fried rice. No wonder the first attempt at making fried rice ended in failure. I felt very panicked as I stared at the white “mound (土墩)”, imagining my parents’ disappointed faces. 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。 Then I thought of my mother’s recipe book. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a small flame even jumped from the pan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Then I thought of my mother’s recipe book. Holding it was like grasping a lifeline. I told Lily that I would try again and let her witness the miracle. “Fried rice for the ones I love,”I muttered. This time, I used leftover rice from the fridge and followed the steps in the book. I channeled my inner“culinary ballet dancer”, tossing ingredients with more hope and love. Smelling the aroma of garlic, oil, and rice being stir-fried together, I felt proud and imagined Lily’s praise for my creation. I was so lost in this victorious daydream that I didn’t notice the oil beginning to smoke. Suddenly, a small flame even jumped from the pan. My heart leaped to my throat, but my hands remembered the drill: turn off the heat and slide the lid on. In a breath, the flame was gone, leaving only a wisp of smoke and my pounding heart. Just then, the door opened. “Something smells incredible!” my parents exclaimed. Their eyes widened as they saw me slightly smoky but standing tall by the stove. We gathered around the table, and as they took their first bites, their surprised smiles told me everything. Under the warm kitchen light, my once-fearful stove had become the stage for our best dinner together. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述“我”首次尝试做炒饭，好友莉莉因家庭急事未能相助，“我”本就怕用灶台，首试还因用了刚煮的黏米饭失败，想起父母的烹饪建议，正惊慌时莉莉视频提醒，才发现忽略了关键食材的问题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这时我想起了妈妈的食谱本。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：“我”翻出妈妈的食谱本，用剩米饭再试做炒饭，翻炒时满心自豪陷入遐想，却没发现锅里的油已冒烟。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然锅里窜起小火苗。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：炒饭时油锅起火，“我”冷静处理后火灭，父母归来尝过炒饭露出惊喜笑容，灶台也成了温馨的晚餐舞台。 2.续写线索：翻出妈妈的食谱本——再试做炒饭——油锅起火——冷静处理——父母尝炒饭——父母露出满意笑容 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.注意到：notice/pay attention to ②.想象：imagine/picture ③.看见：see/spot/catch sight of 情绪类 ①.惊讶的：surprised/astonished/shocked ②.害怕的：fearful/scared/afraid 【点睛】[高分句型1].

For those without such a date, you can usually find a coded date on the top or bottom of the can and decode it as follows. Step 1 — Check the first character Check the first number or letter in the code. Numbers 1 to 9 often stand for the months from January to September in order. On many cans, the letter O usually means October, N stands for November, and D represents December. Step 2 — Try the alphabetical system Simply match letters A to L with the months January through December in alphabetical order. Some companies use this way of coding to mark months. You need to be careful when decoding these marks if you want to confirm the exact month. D may mean April or December, depending on the coding system the producer uses. Step 3 — Read the day and year Work out the numbers to find the specific date and year. Many companies use two digits after the first character in the code for the day, and one digit for the year. The digit for the year is normally the last digit of that year. For example, the year mark for 2011 would be 1. Step 4 — Try a Julian date Find the corresponding (相应的) Julian date from the code if the numbers cannot be read as month, day and year. A Julian date shows which day it is in a whole year. For example, Jan. 1 would be 1 and Dec. 31 would be 365 if a Julian date is used. 21．(2.5分)What do we know about the coding systems in Step 1 and Step 2? A．They use numbers for days. B．Months are coded randomly. C．Letters are used to mark months. D．They follow the same coding rules. 22．(2.5分)What number represents Feb. 10 if a Julian date is used? A．10. B．41. C．102. D．210. 23．(2.5分)Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from? A．Everyday Health. B．Green Life. C．Money Smart. D．Home Improvement. （本题10分）My teenage son Eric prefers takeout whenever staying home alone. To him, cooking is a waste of time, and delivered food is far more convenient. Last summer vacation, my husband and I set a family rule: We would cook a full meal together every weekend instead of ordering online. Our first cooking weekend started badly. Eric sighed the moment we asked him to help. “Why cook ourselves when food arrives in minutes?” he complained. We divided tasks clearly: I washed greens, my husband cut meat, and Eric sliced potatoes and mixed condiments (调味料). At first, he spilled salt and cut uneven slices. After several tries, he got the hang of the work. When steaming dishes filled the table, Eric stared in surprise. He never expected simple team work to create such tasty food. I still remember learning cooking as a teen. My mother let me help in the kitchen daily after school. I kept a notebook recording steps and mistakes to track my small progress. Back then housework felt boring, yet those repeated hands-on jobs slowly built my sense of responsibility. Home cooking brings many challenges. Fresh food goes bad easily, and different dishes require different skills. The whole process has over ten steps, with cleaning ingredients (食材) and heat control being the most important. Cleaning guarantees food safety, and proper heat improves flavor. After months of weekend practice, we won a small prize at the community family activity. Each weekend offers a new cooking experience. On a rainy day, we tried grandma’s traditional local dish. Its complex steps defeated us three times before we got the right taste. Whenever our dishes tasted terrible, my notebook helped us find mistakes quickly. Up to now, Eric has joined over forty cooking activities. “If we fully depend on takeout, we will miss chances to learn practical life skills. I no longer dislike kitchen work. The more I cook with the family, the more useful lessons I gain,’ Eric said. 24．(2.5分)What used to be Eric’s main choice of food at home alone? A．Home-made meals. B．Ordered meals. C．Store-bought snacks. D．Grandma’s dishes. 25．(2.5分)How did Eric feel after finishing his kitchen work on the first weekend? A．Annoyed. B．Confused. C．Astonished. D．Regretful. 26．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the author’s notebook? A．It helped her improve cooking skills. B．It won a community activity prize. C．It recorded grandma’s traditional dishes. D．It marked down her progress. 27．(2.5分)What has Eric come to realize about cooking? A．Takeout brings great convenience. B．Cooking needs complex steps. C．Traditional dishes taste better. D．Labor benefits teens’ growth. （本题10分）Fermented (发酵的) foods are enjoyed worldwide for their strong, often salty and spicy tastes. This makes them particularly attractive to astronauts, who report that their sense of taste can get weaker in space. Although many dishes have been prepared on the International Space Station (ISS), nothing has ever been fermented there. Indeed, given that microgravity and strong energy rays from space might affect the microbial (微生物的) interactions needed for this process, it has always been unclear if fermentation was even possible in space. Now, researchers Maggie Coble from Massachusetts and Josh Evans from Denmark have proved that fermentation is possible by creating miso, a kind of condiment (酱料), in space. They first prepared a ready-to-ferment mixture using cooked soybeans, salt and rice previously fermented. The mixture was separated into three containers and frozen. One remained in Denmark, one went to Massachusetts, and one was sent to Houston for transport to the ISS. All of them fermented for several weeks. When the miso returned to Earth for analysis, researchers identified all the chemicals normally found in this condiment. Taste tests showed that the taste was similar compared to Danish and Massachusetts miso. Even so, it was different enough for the researchers to call it “space miso”. The space miso had a stronger sweet taste than the Earth-made miso, coming from high levels of C7H₁₀O2, the same chemical also found in honey and some wines. It also had a stronger cheese-like taste, probably resulting from higher concentrations of an acid, a type of chemical. Why these chemicals appeared in greater amounts remains unconfirmed, but microgravity is the likely cause. Under normal conditions on Earth, a small amount of gas produced by microbes during fermentation simply rises upwards to the surface. Not so in space. In microgravity, the gas travel in all directions, probably affecting microbial growth by changing how important gases like oxygen spread around. Now that fermentation has been shown to be possible, the door opens for producing other foods for future space travelers. 28．(2.5分)What makes fermentation difficult in space? A．The strong tastes of fermented foods. B．The variety of food prepared on the ISS. C．Special conditions of space environment. D．Astronauts’ weak sense of taste in space. 29．(2.5分)What approach did the researchers adopt in the experiment? A．A research using different materials. B．A study of several kinds of condiments. C．A test on different fermentation periods. D．A comparison in different environments. 30．(2.5分)How does space miso differ from regular one? A．A distinct cheese taste. B．Increased chemical types. C．A honey-and-wine-like note. D．Reduced sugar concentration. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude toward the space fermentation research? A．Unclear. B．Hopeful. C．Doubtful. D．Objective. （本题10分）Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reducing the risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks is have remained a mystery. In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system. A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years. But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans. “When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope.” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.” Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to aging and disease. “These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr. John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.” So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand. 32．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To explore the history of caffeine consumption. B．To identify how caffeine influences cell aging. C．To compare human cells with fission yeast cells. D．To find new use of caffeine in cell reproduction. 33．(2.5分)What does TOR serve as? A．A sign of aging. B．An energy source. C．A growth command center. D．A cellular fuel gauge. 34．(2.5分)What does John-Patrick suggest about the research? A．Possible direction for further research. B．Benefits of present applications. C．Characteristics of the research. D．Choice of new research methods. 35．(2.5分)What can be the best title for the text? A．AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long. B．Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch. C．The Yeast Model Unlocks Aging’s Hidden Pathways. D．Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells. （本题12.5分）For many people, “eat less” backfires (适得其反) because it focuses on reducing calories without addressing how hunger and eating behavior actually work. 36(2.5分) — the weight and physical amount of food on their plate — rather than by counting calories. But when portion sizes reduce dramatically under restrictive diets, meals may leave one feeling hungry. “ 37(2.5分) . Because people tend to have an idea of how much food is appropriate,” says Barbara Rolls, a professor of nutrition sciences at the Laboratory for the Study of Human Ingestive Behavior at Penn State. The problem is compounded (恶化) when those smaller portions are made up of calorie-dense foods — like chips, or heavily processed meals. 38(2.5分) . Many ultra-processed foods are also designed to be eaten quickly. They often combine refined (精制的) carbohydrates, fats, and salt in ways that make them highly tasty, while being low in water and fiber. That combination allows people to consume calories rapidly. 39(2.5分) . Timing plays a critical role. 40(2.5分) . It can take 15 to 20 minutes for stretch receptors in the stomach to register fullness. By then, fast, energy-dense foods may already have delivered hundreds of calories. “That’s part of the reason why “eat less” isn’t just a matter of self-control, because the body is physiologically and psychologically wired to keep eating under these conditions,” says Barbara Rolls. A．I don’t like the “eat less” message B．Thirty minutes for a meal is enough C．I’m telling people to eat better quality D．This occurs before the body has time to respond E．People tend to control how much they eat by volume F．They can pack in substantial energy without taking up much space G．Signals telling the brain you’ve had enough don’t switch on immediately 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Simone smiled when she received another A on her paper.

What changed everything was a Pu’er tea cake — a gift my mother brought home from China. From the moment I 56(1.5分) (drink) my first cup of ripe Pu’er as a child, these leaves have been guiding my life. I was simply drawn to its comforting 57(1.5分) (warm). It was this flavor 58(1.5分) sparked my curiosity about China. In 2018, I traveled to China, quitting commerce studies to major in tea culture at Zhejiang A&F University. I joined teachers in major tea-producing regions every season 59(1.5分) (practise) my craft. People often ask why I would travel so far to study tea in China. The answer lies in the first cup of Pu’er. When you are 60(1.5分) (true) conquered by a flavor, you can’t help but seek its source. Before graduation, I traveled to Yunnan in search of the origins of Pu’er, exploring places like Jingmai Mountain, 61(1.5分) ancient tea trees integrate with forests. The air carried the scent of tea leaves 62(1.5分) (mix) with soil. Walking there, I felt completely 63(1.5分) ease. Yunnan’s natural conditions, tea tree 64(1.5分) (resource) and natural diversity gave me the sense that I could study them for a lifetime. In 2025, I joined 65(1.5分) graduate program in tea science at Yunnan Agricultural University, focusing on Pu’er processing technology. I want to explore deeper into tea production in the future. It may be a long journey, but I’m in no rush. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）你将参加英语课上的“一分钟演讲”活动。请针对“部分同学不吃早餐”的现象，写一篇英文演讲稿，内容包括： （1）陈述看法； （2）提出建议。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 My Views on Skipping Breakfast _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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。 A strange burning smell indicated the failure of my fried rice. Just the first dish made my face and clothes all covered in oil and rice. It was the first time for me to try to cook a dish. My best friend Lily had promised to help, but she’d texted that evening about a family emergency. Now I was alone, facing the ultimate challenge: cooking fried rice for our weekend dinner. To make matters worse, I’d always been nervous around the stove, afraid that the oil might catch fire. Although I had learned basic kitchen safety at school, facing a real pan felt entirely different for me. What my father said yesterday echoed in my ears, “Remember, son, cooking is just like an experiment in mixing chemical ingredients you can eat!” It was easy for him to say — he was a chemistry professor who could somehow burn water. However, my mom, a Chinese language teacher, often created culinary magic in the kitchen. She made it effortlessly, dancing between the stove and chopping board like some kind of culinary ballet dancer. “The key is preparation and patience,” she once told me. “And always taste as you go.” But today was my turn to surprise them both. I fired up the pan again, watching the oil shine like liquid gold. The onions hit the pan with a satisfying sound, and I felt a sense of confidence. Then Lily made a video call. Seeing my face, she laughed, “Ha-ha, you are just like a little cat.” Then she reminded me, “Don’t forget to use the rice cooked yesterday so it’s dry enough!” My heart sank. Yesterday? I’d been so focused on the protein and vegetables that I’d completely overlooked the most basic ingredient. The rice I’d cooked this morning was still warm and sticky, completely wrong for fried rice. No wonder the first attempt at making fried rice ended in failure. I felt very panicked as I stared at the white “mound (土墩)”, imagining my parents’ disappointed faces. 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。 Then I thought of my mother’s recipe book. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a small flame even jumped from the pan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
