Well, different countries have different recipes. Now let's take a look at them. During the early 1960s, Russia developed the earliest space food which can only be sucked, but astronauts still felt hungry after eating them. To solve the problem, more satisfying food has been gradually created. Now Russian astronauts can enjoy a variety of food similar to on earth, such as black bread, honey cake, ham, Russian cheese and so on, with a spoon or fork rather than a straw. For those American astronauts, fast food is always their main food. Their recipe includes sausage pies, spicy grilled fish, butter bread, tuna salad and drinks. Like always, Japanese have expressed their unique cultural identity through their space food. Most of them are traditional Japanese food, including rice balls, tomato fish, curry noodles, mountain vegetables, etc. As a country with a great history, China has adopted their food therapy theory into adjusting astronauts' physical conditions. For example, when the astronauts lack appetite, they can eat specially-made porridge. Also Chinese astronauts can have more delicious food like spiced beef, roasted pork, and even ice cream. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Thessaloniki, Greece’s beloved food capital, boasts authentic, budget-friendly flavors rooted in centuries of immigrant heritage. Blending classic Greek traditions with local features, it offers a satisfying culinary (食物的) journey. Here are four standout spots with distinct charms. Bougatsa Bantis The city’s iconic phyllo pastry (千层油酥点心) is filled with sweet fillings, salty cheese, or spinach. Run by a 3rd-generation family, it carries the rich culinary heritage of Greek refugees from Cappadocia, who brought this beloved recipe to the city in the 1920s.

But then she invites me up to her restaurant, Sly Fox Den Too. Pocknett is one of the people best known for making indigenous (土著的) foods. Her restaurant, opened in 2021, is her own way of using her people’s knowledge to feed Americans today. And she hopes the menu shows the width and depth of indigenous foods. Pocknett’s menu is based on a simple idea: “The food I grew up with,” she says. She cooks what’s local and what’s in season. I watch Pocknett prepare venison (鹿肉) topped with onion (洋葱) rings, which, she admits, aren’t exactly a deep-rooted tradition; they’re “from a mix” , she says, “but I just love them.” Pocknett works on a reduction of beach plums (海滨李) to pair with the venison. To wash it all down, there are pots full of iced tea made from boiled sassafras (檫树) roots. Even if you’ve never heard of this common North American tree, you probably know the taste — it was long the key part in root beer. The meal recreates foods from a traditional festival in 1621. Restaurants specializing in Native American food are not so common — but a small number of indigenous cooks with great love are working to raise their profile (形象). Owamni, a restaurant in Minneapolis focuses on indigenous food, won the James Beard Foundation Award for Best New Restaurant in 2022. The Sioux Chef is a company working on indigenous foods, too. Its owner Sean Sherman and his team are working tirelessly toward the day when “people will find an indigenous restaurant easily in America, experiencing all the richness of the varied original American cultures.” 24．(2.5分)Which can best describe Pocknett’s offerings? A．Seasonal. B．Plant-based. C．High in price. D．Limited in variety. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined phrase “wash it all down” probably refer to? A．Cooking the food with care. B．Picking all the plums on the tree. C．Getting the food down to the stomach. D．Washing the plums completely before cooking. 26．(2.5分)What can we infer about Pocknett from paragraph 3? A．She leaves food for the locals. B．She is very choosy about what she eats. C．She draws inspiration from local historical traditions. D．She is known for mixing indigenous and international tastes. 27．(2.5分)What does the author want to show by mentioning two restaurants in the last paragraph? A．The special culture passed on by famous Americans. B．The growing recognition and efforts of indigenous cooks. C．The cut-throat state of national cooking competitions. D．The popularity of indigenous restaurants outside America. 【答案】24．A 25．C 26．C 27．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了土著厨师Sherry Pocknett开设餐厅推广土著美食及相关情况。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段中“She cooks what’s local and what’s in season.(她烹饪当地和当季的食物)”可知，Pocknett提供的菜品是当季的。故选A。 25．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Pocknett works on a reduction of beach plums to pair with the venison.(波克内特正在减少沙滩李子的数量来搭配鹿肉)”及“To wash it all down, there are pots full of iced tea made from boiled sassafras (檫树) roots.(为了wash it all down，这里有用煮过的檫树根制成的满满几壶冰茶)”以及前文提到的准备食物，可推测“wash it all down”在此处的意思是“将食物咽下肚”，即“把食物吃下去，喝点什么帮助吞咽”。故选C。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中“The meal recreates foods from a traditional festival in 1621.(这顿饭再现了1621年一个传统节日上的食物)”可知，Pocknett从当地的历史传统中汲取灵感。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Restaurants specializing in Native American food are not so common — but a small number of indigenous cooks with great love are working to raise their profile (形象).(专门经营美洲原住民美食的餐厅并不常见，但一些热爱这一行业的土著厨师正在努力提高他们的知名度)”以及下文对两家餐厅的举例，可推测作者在最后一段提到两家餐厅是为了展示土著厨师日益得到认可和他们所做的努力。故选B。 In the scientific world, where the focus is on data and results, it’s easy to overlook the human aspect, which I think is crucial for a fruitful research environment. In my laboratory at the University of Lausanne, we turn to a simple technique to enhance our group’s connectedness: the flashlight method (手电筒法). This straightforward method of passing a virtual flashlight around the room during our weekly lab meetings has brought about a huge shift in how we all interact. Here’s how it works for us: I turn on the flashlight by randomly calling someone’s name, and after sharing their thoughts for about 30 to 60 seconds, they name the next person at random until everyone has had their turn. It’s called a flashlight because the idea is to shine the spotlight on each person in a group. The team member with the flashlight shares something from the past week, or the one to come — this could be a breakthrough in their project, a professional achievement, or even something from their personal life. Initially, my lab members and I were unsure how the flashlight method would turn out. Would it be too informal? Would it take time away from our scientific discussions? But, to our delight, the results have been wonderful. The flashlight has opened up our meetings and the random nature of it has kept everyone engaged. The increased participation has led to a more comprehensive understanding of each other’s research and challenges as we all work towards our team’s goal — to understand the complexities of cancer. When someone talks about a tough experiment or shares their excitement about a surprising result, it sets off discussions and uncovers fresh views. I’ve found that, sometimes, the simplest method can bring about the most effective changes. The flashlight method might seem like a small addition to the meeting agenda but, for us, it has been transformative. It’s about more than just sharing updates; it’s about creating a space where everyone feels valued and connected. And in the fast-paced, often high-pressure scientific research environment, this sense of belonging and understanding can make all the difference. 28．(0分)What aspect does the author consider important in a scientific study? A．The group dynamics. B．The scientific breakthrough. C．The fair working environment. D．The availability of modern techniques. 29．What can we know about the flashlight method? A．It replaces traditional meeting agendas. B．It is centered on individual contributions. C．It encourages people to share ideas at random. D．It allows people to work in a virtual environment. 30．What may the author and his team be working on? A．Computer science. B．Medical research. C．Psychological tests. D．Business management. 31．What may the author think of the flashlight method? A．It is environment-specific. B．It is a temporary success. C．It is far from practical. D．It deserves promotion. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．B 31．D 【导语】文章介绍了科研实验室里的“手电筒法”，通过会议随机轮流分享，增强团队联结，证明简单方法也能给高压科研环境带来巨大积极改变。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the scientific world, where the focus is on data and results, it’s easy to overlook the human aspect, which I think is crucial for a fruitful research environment. In my laboratory at the University of Lausanne, we turn to a simple technique to enhance our group’s connectedness: the flashlight method (手电筒法). (在看重数据与结果的科学界，人们很容易忽略人的层面，而我认为这一点对于富有成效的研究环境至关重要。在洛桑大学中我的实验室里，我们采用一个简单办法来提升团队的相互联系：手电筒法。)”可知，作者认为科研容易忽略人的层面，而这对科研至关重要，介绍的手电筒法也是为了提升团队联结、优化成员互动，即团队互动氛围。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Here’s how it works for us: I turn on the flashlight by randomly calling someone’s name, and after sharing their thoughts for about 30 to 60 seconds, they name the next person at random until everyone has had their turn. (它对我们来说具体操作是：我随机点一个人的名字开启手电筒；该人用30‑60秒分享想法，之后随机指定下一个人，直到每个人都轮到。)”可知，手电筒法随机点人，鼓励成员随机分享想法。 30．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“The increased participation has led to a more comprehensive understanding of each other’s research and challenges as we all work towards our team’s goal — to understand the complexities of cancer. (更多人参与进来，让大家更充分理解彼此的研究与困境，大家朝着团队共同目标——破解癌症的复杂难题而努力。)”可知，目标是研究癌症，属于医学研究领域。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’ve found that, sometimes, the simplest method can bring about the most effective changes. The flashlight method might seem like a small addition to the meeting agenda but, for us, it has been transformative. It’s about more than just sharing updates; it’s about creating a space where everyone feels valued and connected. And in the fast-paced, often high-pressure scientific research environment, this sense of belonging and understanding can make all the difference. (我发现，有时候最简单的方法能带来最有效的改变。手电筒法看上去只是会议议程的小小补充，但对我们而言，它带来了变革。它不只是同步工作进展，更是营造一个人人感到被重视、彼此相连的空间。在节奏快、经常压力大的科研环境中，这种归属感与理解感意义重大。)”可知，作者高度肯定这个简单有效的方法，认为其值得推广。 （本题10分）Scientists have long been studying the brain with a goal of aiding healthier aging. While much is known about risk factors in speeding up brain aging, less has been uncovered to identify ways to reduce cognitive (认知的) decline. There is evidence that nutrition matters, and a new study shows specific nutrients (营养物质) may play a vital role in the healthy aging of the brain. The team of scientists from the University of Illinois, led by Aron Barbey, enrolled 100 volunteers aged between 65 and 75, looking for connections between certain diets and slower brain aging. These participants completed a questionnaire with measures of physical fitness. Blood sample was collected to analyze the nutrient biological markers: a more scientific evidence for what these elderly individuals were eating and drinking. Participants also underwent cognitive assessments and brain imaging. Analysis of this large set of measures revealed two types of brain aging among the participants - accelerated (加速的) and slower-than-expected. Those with slower brain aging had distinct nutrient biological markers. It was associated with nutrient intake similar to what you would get from the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes plant-based foods, healthy fats, and minimally processed ingredients, offering numerous health benefits. Barbey noted that previous research on nutrition and brain aging has mostly relied on food frequency questionnaires, which are dependent on participants’ own recall. This study is one of the first and the largest to combine brain imaging, blood biological markers and cognitive assessments. “This allows us to build a robust understanding of the relationship between these factors. We move beyond simply measuring cognitive performance with traditional psychological tests,” Barbey says. The researchers will continue to explore the nutrient biological markers investigated in this study as it relates to healthy brain aging. Barbey said it’s possible, in the future, that the findings will aid in developing therapies and interventions to promote brain health. It’s possible that simple adjusts to what we eat could help cut down the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s. 32．(2.5分)What is the main focus of the new study? A．The biological process of brain aging. B．The risk factors in stimulating brain aging. C．The impact of healthy brain aging on the senior. D．The potential effect of nutrients on brain aging. 33．(2.5分)How did the scientists analyze the participants’ nutrient intake? A．By testing their blood samples. B．By taking cognitive assessments. C．By tracking their dietary habits. D．By doing psychological tests. 34．(2.5分)Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “robust” in paragraph 5? A．Abstract. B．Solid. C．Rough. D．Variable. 35．(2.5分)What is expected of the future research? A．It will provide valuable insights into the Mediterranean diet. B．It will develop a new assessment standard for brain health. C．It will recommend a fiber-rich diet to promote healthier brain aging. D．It will contribute to preventing and treating certain brain diseases. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．B 35．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个关于营养物质和大脑健康之间的关系的研究，解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段“There is evidence that nutrition matters, and a new study shows specific nutrients (营养物质) may play a vital role in the healthy aging of the brain. (有证据表明营养很重要，一项新的研究表明，特定的营养物质可能在大脑的健康衰老中起着至关重要的作用。)”可知，这项新研究的主要焦点是营养物质对大脑衰老的潜在影响。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Blood sample was collected to analyze the nutrient biological markers: a more scientific evidence for what these elderly individuals were eating and drinking. (采集血液样本来分析营养生物标志物：这是这些老年人饮食的更科学的证据。)”可知，科学家通过测试血液样本分析参与者的营养摄入量。故选A。 34．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“We move beyond simply measuring cognitive performance with traditional psychological tests (我们超越了简单地用传统的心理测试来衡量认知表现)”可知，Barbey提到他们超越了简单地用传统的心理测试来衡量认知表现，说明这项研究让他们对这些因素之间的关系建立一个可靠、坚实的理解。故划线词意思是“可靠的、坚实的”，故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s possible that simple adjusts to what we eat could help cut down the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s. (简单地调整我们的饮食可能有助于降低患阿尔茨海默病等疾病的风险。)”可知，未来的研究有望有助于预防和治疗某些脑部疾病。故选D。 （本题12.5分）In our culture, popcorn and movies just go together. The association is so strong, in fact, that people joke about wanting to get some popcorn to snack on whenever there’s an entertaining show to watch. 36(2.5分) You might be surprised to learn something about popcorn and early cinemas. The steam-powered popcorn maker was invented in the late 1800s. Soon popcorn grew popular at fairs, circuses and outdoor sports events. 37(2.5分) According to the Smithsonian, theater owners had many worries. They feared loose popcorn bits would ruin carpets and soft seat coverings. Besides, loud chewing sounds would disturb viewers. 38(2.5分) Any eating noise would easily pull people’s attention away from the screen. Two factors led to popcorn’s takeover as movie-goers’ snack of choice. One was the introduction of films with sound in 1927. It increased the mass appeal of movies and also lessened concerns about distracting background noises. The second was the start of the Great Depression (大萧条). 39(2.5分) Popcorn was a good choice because it was cheap and could be stored for a long time. Theaters that sold popcorn not only weathered the storm of the Depression, but saw their profits increase, while theaters refusing to do that struggled. World War II strengthened the association between movies and popcorn that the Depression started. 40(2.5分) However, popcorn remained easy to get and just as tasty as ever. By the end of the 1940s, the idea of watching a movie was closely linked with eating popcorn in people’s imagination. Today, even if you’re having a movie night at home instead of going to a theater, you might find that the experience just doesn’t feel right without popcorn. A．Back then, all movies were silent. B．Can popcorn truly enhance a movie night? C．People would pass popcorn around and share it. D．However, it was nowhere to be found in movie theaters. E．Shortages of sugar made many sweet snacks unavailable. F．Many theaters tried to make some profits by selling snacks. G．But how did the link between popcorn and movies come to be? 【答案】36．G 37．D 38．A 39．F 40．E 【导语】文章主要讲述爆米花与电影紧密关联，介绍它起初不受影院欢迎，历经无声电影、大萧条、二战，最终成为经典观影零食的发展历程。 【详解】36．由上文“In our culture, popcorn and movies just go together. The association is so strong, in fact, that people joke about wanting to get some popcorn to snack on whenever there’s an entertaining show to watch. (在我们的文化里，爆米花和电影总是绑定在一起。这种关联如此牢固，事实上，人们甚至开玩笑说只要有好看的节目要看，就想去买些爆米花当零食。)”及下文“You might be surprised to learn something about popcorn and early cinemas. (你可能会惊讶地了解到关于爆米花和早期电影院的一些冷知识。)”可知，上文点明了爆米花和电影的强关联，下文转而介绍二者在早期影院的发展历史，本空需要引出对这种关联起源的疑问。G选项“但爆米花和电影之间的这种联系究竟是如何形成的呢？”能承上启下，符合语境。 37．由上文“The steam-powered popcorn maker was invented in the late 1800s. Soon popcorn grew popular at fairs, circuses and outdoor sports events. (蒸汽动力爆米花机发明于19世纪末，很快爆米花就在集市、马戏团和户外体育赛事中流行起来。)”及下文“According to the Smithsonian, theater owners had many worries. They feared loose popcorn bits would ruin carpets and soft seat coverings. (根据史密森尼学会的资料，影院老板们有很多顾虑，他们担心散落的爆米花渣会损坏地毯和软质座椅套。)”可知，上文讲爆米花在各类户外场合走红，下文转而说明早期影院对爆米花的排斥态度，本空需要形成语义转折，点明爆米花当时并未进入影院。D选项“然而，在电影院里根本找不到它的身影。”能承上启下，符合语境。 38．由上文“Besides, loud chewing sounds would disturb viewers. (除此之外，响亮的咀嚼声会打扰到其他观众。)”及下文“Any eating noise would easily pull people’s attention away from the screen. (任何进食的噪音都很容易把观众的注意力从屏幕上移开。)”可知，上下文都在强调早期影院排斥爆米花的核心原因——进食噪音会干扰观影，本空需要补充当时影院的观影环境背景，解释噪音为何会造成严重影响。A选项“在那个时期，所有的电影都是无声的。”能承上启下，符合语境。 39．由上文“The second was the start of the Great Depression (大萧条). (第二个因素是大萧条的开启。)”及下文“Popcorn was a good choice because it was cheap and could be stored for a long time. (爆米花是绝佳选择，因为它价格低廉且可以长期储存。)”可知，上文点明大萧条是推动爆米花普及的关键节点，下文说明爆米花的优势，本空需要补充大萧条时期影院的经营选择背景。F选项“许多影院试图通过售卖零食来获取利润。”能承上启下，符合语境。 40．由上文“World War II strengthened the association between movies and popcorn that the Depression started. (二战进一步强化了大萧条时期就开始形成的电影与爆米花的关联。)”及下文“However, popcorn remained easy to get and just as tasty as ever. (然而，爆米花依然容易买到，口感也一如既往地好。)”可知，上文陈述电影与爆米花的关联加强，下文描述爆米花依然容易买到，本空需要说明二战时期多数零食面临的供应困境，反衬爆米花的优势。E选项“糖的短缺让很多甜味零食都买不到了。”能承上启下，符合语境。 三、完形填空 Besides her strong professional skills, the diving gold medal winner Quan Hongchan does have an unusual personality, which attracts the 41 of people around the country. At the 19th World Championships (锦标赛), Quan Hongchan was 42 by Chen Yuxi by 0.3 points. She made major mistakes, but still did not lose the audience’s 43 for her. It is believed that she will return to be the king. In the mixed all-around final, Zhang Jiaqi was temporarily (临时) replaced. Quan Hongchan took the place of her, 44 the 10-meter platform and the 3-meter board. However, with the first jump of Quan Hongchan, the doubts before the competition were 45 . Quan Hongchan is 46 born for diving. She is the one that not only has good 47 , but also trains so hard off the sports 48 . From her challenge to the 3-meter board, you can see the results of her 49 trainings. In addition to 50 skills, Quan Hongchan has a particularly 51 feature, that is, she won’t be influenced by the surrounding environment, and her 52 on the game is great. Now, Quan Hongchan has become a world champion, which led to her 53 . Facing the camera, she was a “funny girl”. Perhaps this is her nature (天性).

She is the 55 of our Chinese people. 41．(0分)A．exploration B．improvement C．confidence D．attention 42．A．forgot B．supported C．defeated D．ruined 43．A．aid B．responsibility C．wisdom D．affection 44．A．challenging B．exchanging C．organizing D．leaving 45．A．strengthened B．controlled C．gone D．made 46．A．publicly B．truly C．directly D．hardly 47．A．system B．character C．talent D．luck 48．A．campus B．field C．path D．street 49．A．simple B．different C．unique D．continuous 50．A．excellent B．strange C．traditional D．empty 51．A．uncertain B．invaluable C．unfamiliar D．informal 52．A．focus B．purpose C．experiment D．description 53．A．prize B．survival C．popularity D．view 54．A．silent B．lovely C．strict D．shy 55．A．pride B．name C．enemy D．project 【答案】 41．D 42．C 43．D 44．A 45．C 46．B 47．C 48．B 49．D 50．A 51．B 52．A 53．C 54．B 55．A 【导语】本文介绍跳水运动员全红婵，她天赋出众、训练刻苦，赛场专注力强，性格可爱率真，是国人的骄傲。 【详解】41．考查名词。句意：除了过硬的专业能力，跳水金牌得主全红婵确实有着与众不同的性格，吸引了全国人民的关注。A. exploration探索；B. improvement改善；C. confidence信心；D. attention注意力，关注。根据前文“Besides her strong professional skills, the diving gold medal winner Quan Hongchan does have an unusual personality”可知，全红婵出众的能力和独特性格吸引大众目光。 42．考查动词。句意：在第19届世界锦标赛上，全红婵以0.3分之差败给陈芋汐。A. forgot忘记；B. supported支持；C. defeated击败；D. ruined毁坏。根据后文“by 0.3 points.

Some short video 57(1.5分) (influence) share their experiences, saying that eating steamed buns and other carbohydrates regularly leads to a puffy face, dull skin, and unclear facial contours. Influenced by this idea, many people have begun to link traditional staple foods including rice, noodles and buns with 58(1.5分) (attractive) looks and a lack of self-discipline. However, experts agree that there is no need 59(1.5分) (connect) starchy foods directly with appearance. As the foundation of daily diets, carbohydrates serve as the main source of energy and essential nutrients for the human body. It is acknowledged that 60(1.5分) balanced diet consists of carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. 61(1.5分) deserves more concern is that 62(1.5分) (avoid) carbohydrates for a long time may damage physical and mental health. People 63(1.5分) refuse to eat carbs may feel tired, irritable and anxious, and even face serious health risks. 64(1.5分) (strict) limiting carbs is not a safe or sustainable method to improve appearance. Experts advise that we should not cut out carbs totally. Instead, we are supposed to reduce refined grains and increase whole grains, beans and tubers.

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.

Blending classic Greek traditions with local features, it offers a satisfying culinary (食物的) journey. Here are four standout spots with distinct charms. Bougatsa Bantis The city’s iconic phyllo pastry (千层油酥点心) is filled with sweet fillings, salty cheese, or spinach. Run by a 3rd-generation family, it carries the rich culinary heritage of Greek refugees from Cappadocia, who brought this beloved recipe to the city in the 1920s. Cost：Budget-friendly (local affordable pricing, in line with street food and traditional pastry spots) Address：Panagias Faneromenis 33, Thessaloniki 546 32, Greece Oinopoteio Kapileio It’s a hidden treasure in the Kapani market, specializing in traditional Greek meze (开胃菜).

Cost：Meze from €4; half-liter house wine from €5 (affordable for sharing and savoring multiple dishes) Address：Spandoni 26, Thessaloniki 546 24, Greece Laikon It’s a top choice for gyro lovers, wrapping crispy pancetta, zesty spicy cheese spread (tirokafteri), and golden hand-cut fries in a fluffy, toasted pita.

But then she invites me up to her restaurant, Sly Fox Den Too. Pocknett is one of the people best known for making indigenous (土著的) foods. Her restaurant, opened in 2021, is her own way of using her people’s knowledge to feed Americans today. And she hopes the menu shows the width and depth of indigenous foods. Pocknett’s menu is based on a simple idea: “The food I grew up with,” she says. She cooks what’s local and what’s in season. I watch Pocknett prepare venison (鹿肉) topped with onion (洋葱) rings, which, she admits, aren’t exactly a deep-rooted tradition; they’re “from a mix” , she says, “but I just love them.” Pocknett works on a reduction of beach plums (海滨李) to pair with the venison. To wash it all down, there are pots full of iced tea made from boiled sassafras (檫树) roots. Even if you’ve never heard of this common North American tree, you probably know the taste — it was long the key part in root beer. The meal recreates foods from a traditional festival in 1621. Restaurants specializing in Native American food are not so common — but a small number of indigenous cooks with great love are working to raise their profile (形象). Owamni, a restaurant in Minneapolis focuses on indigenous food, won the James Beard Foundation Award for Best New Restaurant in 2022. The Sioux Chef is a company working on indigenous foods, too. Its owner Sean Sherman and his team are working tirelessly toward the day when “people will find an indigenous restaurant easily in America, experiencing all the richness of the varied original American cultures.” 24．(2.5分)Which can best describe Pocknett’s offerings? A．Seasonal. B．Plant-based. C．High in price. D．Limited in variety. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined phrase “wash it all down” probably refer to? A．Cooking the food with care. B．Picking all the plums on the tree. C．Getting the food down to the stomach. D．Washing the plums completely before cooking. 26．(2.5分)What can we infer about Pocknett from paragraph 3? A．She leaves food for the locals. B．She is very choosy about what she eats. C．She draws inspiration from local historical traditions. D．She is known for mixing indigenous and international tastes. 27．(2.5分)What does the author want to show by mentioning two restaurants in the last paragraph? A．The special culture passed on by famous Americans. B．The growing recognition and efforts of indigenous cooks. C．The cut-throat state of national cooking competitions. D．The popularity of indigenous restaurants outside America. In the scientific world, where the focus is on data and results, it’s easy to overlook the human aspect, which I think is crucial for a fruitful research environment. In my laboratory at the University of Lausanne, we turn to a simple technique to enhance our group’s connectedness: the flashlight method (手电筒法). This straightforward method of passing a virtual flashlight around the room during our weekly lab meetings has brought about a huge shift in how we all interact. Here’s how it works for us: I turn on the flashlight by randomly calling someone’s name, and after sharing their thoughts for about 30 to 60 seconds, they name the next person at random until everyone has had their turn. It’s called a flashlight because the idea is to shine the spotlight on each person in a group. The team member with the flashlight shares something from the past week, or the one to come — this could be a breakthrough in their project, a professional achievement, or even something from their personal life. Initially, my lab members and I were unsure how the flashlight method would turn out. Would it be too informal? Would it take time away from our scientific discussions? But, to our delight, the results have been wonderful. The flashlight has opened up our meetings and the random nature of it has kept everyone engaged. The increased participation has led to a more comprehensive understanding of each other’s research and challenges as we all work towards our team’s goal — to understand the complexities of cancer. When someone talks about a tough experiment or shares their excitement about a surprising result, it sets off discussions and uncovers fresh views. I’ve found that, sometimes, the simplest method can bring about the most effective changes. The flashlight method might seem like a small addition to the meeting agenda but, for us, it has been transformative. It’s about more than just sharing updates; it’s about creating a space where everyone feels valued and connected. And in the fast-paced, often high-pressure scientific research environment, this sense of belonging and understanding can make all the difference. 28．(0分)What aspect does the author consider important in a scientific study? A．The group dynamics. B．The scientific breakthrough. C．The fair working environment. D．The availability of modern techniques. 29．What can we know about the flashlight method? A．It replaces traditional meeting agendas. B．It is centered on individual contributions. C．It encourages people to share ideas at random. D．It allows people to work in a virtual environment. 30．What may the author and his team be working on? A．Computer science. B．Medical research. C．Psychological tests. D．Business management. 31．What may the author think of the flashlight method? A．It is environment-specific. B．It is a temporary success. C．It is far from practical. D．It deserves promotion. （本题10分）Scientists have long been studying the brain with a goal of aiding healthier aging. While much is known about risk factors in speeding up brain aging, less has been uncovered to identify ways to reduce cognitive (认知的) decline. There is evidence that nutrition matters, and a new study shows specific nutrients (营养物质) may play a vital role in the healthy aging of the brain. The team of scientists from the University of Illinois, led by Aron Barbey, enrolled 100 volunteers aged between 65 and 75, looking for connections between certain diets and slower brain aging. These participants completed a questionnaire with measures of physical fitness. Blood sample was collected to analyze the nutrient biological markers: a more scientific evidence for what these elderly individuals were eating and drinking. Participants also underwent cognitive assessments and brain imaging. Analysis of this large set of measures revealed two types of brain aging among the participants - accelerated (加速的) and slower-than-expected. Those with slower brain aging had distinct nutrient biological markers. It was associated with nutrient intake similar to what you would get from the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes plant-based foods, healthy fats, and minimally processed ingredients, offering numerous health benefits. Barbey noted that previous research on nutrition and brain aging has mostly relied on food frequency questionnaires, which are dependent on participants’ own recall. This study is one of the first and the largest to combine brain imaging, blood biological markers and cognitive assessments. “This allows us to build a robust understanding of the relationship between these factors. We move beyond simply measuring cognitive performance with traditional psychological tests,” Barbey says. The researchers will continue to explore the nutrient biological markers investigated in this study as it relates to healthy brain aging. Barbey said it’s possible, in the future, that the findings will aid in developing therapies and interventions to promote brain health. It’s possible that simple adjusts to what we eat could help cut down the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s. 32．(2.5分)What is the main focus of the new study? A．The biological process of brain aging. B．The risk factors in stimulating brain aging. C．The impact of healthy brain aging on the senior. D．The potential effect of nutrients on brain aging. 33．(2.5分)How did the scientists analyze the participants’ nutrient intake? A．By testing their blood samples. B．By taking cognitive assessments. C．By tracking their dietary habits. D．By doing psychological tests. 34．(2.5分)Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “robust” in paragraph 5? A．Abstract. B．Solid. C．Rough. D．Variable. 35．(2.5分)What is expected of the future research? A．It will provide valuable insights into the Mediterranean diet. B．It will develop a new assessment standard for brain health. C．It will recommend a fiber-rich diet to promote healthier brain aging. D．It will contribute to preventing and treating certain brain diseases. （本题12.5分）In our culture, popcorn and movies just go together. The association is so strong, in fact, that people joke about wanting to get some popcorn to snack on whenever there’s an entertaining show to watch. 36(2.5分) You might be surprised to learn something about popcorn and early cinemas. The steam-powered popcorn maker was invented in the late 1800s. Soon popcorn grew popular at fairs, circuses and outdoor sports events. 37(2.5分) According to the Smithsonian, theater owners had many worries. They feared loose popcorn bits would ruin carpets and soft seat coverings. Besides, loud chewing sounds would disturb viewers. 38(2.5分) Any eating noise would easily pull people’s attention away from the screen. Two factors led to popcorn’s takeover as movie-goers’ snack of choice. One was the introduction of films with sound in 1927. It increased the mass appeal of movies and also lessened concerns about distracting background noises. The second was the start of the Great Depression (大萧条). 39(2.5分) Popcorn was a good choice because it was cheap and could be stored for a long time. Theaters that sold popcorn not only weathered the storm of the Depression, but saw their profits increase, while theaters refusing to do that struggled. World War II strengthened the association between movies and popcorn that the Depression started. 40(2.5分) However, popcorn remained easy to get and just as tasty as ever. By the end of the 1940s, the idea of watching a movie was closely linked with eating popcorn in people’s imagination. Today, even if you’re having a movie night at home instead of going to a theater, you might find that the experience just doesn’t feel right without popcorn. A．Back then, all movies were silent. B．Can popcorn truly enhance a movie night? C．People would pass popcorn around and share it. D．However, it was nowhere to be found in movie theaters. E．Shortages of sugar made many sweet snacks unavailable. F．Many theaters tried to make some profits by selling snacks. G．But how did the link between popcorn and movies come to be? 三、完形填空 Besides her strong professional skills, the diving gold medal winner Quan Hongchan does have an unusual personality, which attracts the 41 of people around the country.

Some short video 57(1.5分) (influence) share their experiences, saying that eating steamed buns and other carbohydrates regularly leads to a puffy face, dull skin, and unclear facial contours. Influenced by this idea, many people have begun to link traditional staple foods including rice, noodles and buns with 58(1.5分) (attractive) looks and a lack of self-discipline. However, experts agree that there is no need 59(1.5分) (connect) starchy foods directly with appearance. As the foundation of daily diets, carbohydrates serve as the main source of energy and essential nutrients for the human body. It is acknowledged that 60(1.5分) balanced diet consists of carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. 61(1.5分) deserves more concern is that 62(1.5分) (avoid) carbohydrates for a long time may damage physical and mental health. People 63(1.5分) refuse to eat carbs may feel tired, irritable and anxious, and even face serious health risks. 64(1.5分) (strict) limiting carbs is not a safe or sustainable method to improve appearance. Experts advise that we should not cut out carbs totally. Instead, we are supposed to reduce refined grains and increase whole grains, beans and tubers. A balanced diet, regular exercise and a positive attitude are the real key 65(1.5分) health and beauty. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是高二学生李华。你校英文报正在举办主题为“Food & Memory”的征文活动。请投稿推荐一道对你意义深刻的家常菜(home-style dish)，内容包括： 1.菜品名称、外观描述； 2.推荐理由(如：味道、情感价值等)； 3.号召大家尝试或珍惜家常味道。 注意： 1.词数80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Food & Memory ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $听力考试正式开始。IT is incredibly delicious.
