They are undoubtedly satisfying getaways for parents and children to squeeze in moments of fun. Katmandu Park, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Opened in March 2023 on the east coast of the Dominican Republic, the park is full of mystery. According to legend, explorer Kilgore Goode was on an adventure through Nepal when he came across the “Desirata” jewel, protected by a fierce snowman. The key attractions include the 4D ride “Legend of Desirata” and “EtherQuest”, an interactive upside-down house. Tickets: $120 for adults; $85 for children. Ghibli Park, Japan Located outside of Nagoya, Japan, Ghibli Park opened in late 2022. Within the 17.5 forested ground of the Expo 2005, guests will find five areas that recreate several lively famous scenes of the famous animated movies “Spirited Away” and “My Neighbor Totoro”. Tickets: $15 for adults; $7.5 for children. Peppa Pig Theme Park, Florida The world’s first Peppa Pig Theme Park opened in 2022 in Winter Haven, Florida, and has been delighting children ever since. Committed to the classic British animated TV show, where little Peppa has everyday adventures with her friends and family, the 4.5-acre park welcomes children with well-designed, multi-sensory activities across six areas. Tickets: $34 for adults; $25 for children. Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park, Malaysia Located within Resorts World Genting, about an hour’s drive from Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur, Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park opened in January 2022. Across the 26-acre park, which cost $800 million and took nearly 10 years to create, visitors will find 26 attractions across nine areas inspired by movies and explorations. Tickets: $30 for adults; $25 for children. 1. How much will the Smiths with their daughter pay to visit Ghibli Park? A. $22.5. B. $30. C. $37.5. D. $45. 2.

B On November 4, 2025, the astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station spotted cracks (裂缝) on their return capsule’s viewport window. Suspecting that they were caused by tiny pieces of space debris (残骸), the ground team soon carried out analyses and experiments, and finally decided that they posed safety risks and delayed the return. On November 14, the crew safely landed on Earth aboard the Shenzhou XXI spacecraft, completing an extended 204-day mission. Space debris, also known as orbital debris, includes non-functioning satellites, defunct rockets, and broken pieces from collisions (碰撞) or explosions. This junk poses a severe risk because even small pieces, when moving at orbital speeds, carry enough energy to disable a spacecraft or destroy a satellite. The problem has worsened in recent years due to the rise of large satellite constellations (星座). Each new satellite increases the chance of collisions, leading to the generation of more debris — an effect known as the Kessler Syndrome, first proposed by NASA scientist Donald Kessler in 1978. The Tiangong incident is not an uncommon case. In 2021, a piece of debris from a 2007 anti-satellite test narrowly missed the International Space Station, forcing its crew to take shelter in their docked (停泊的) spacecraft. “We’re entering a phase where space operations are becoming increasingly risky,” says Holger Krag, head of the European Space Agency’s Space Safety Programme. Several solutions have been put forward to tackle the debris problem. These include active debris removal missions, which use robots or nets to capture and deorbit junk; designing satellites to be more easily deorbited at the end of their missions; and carrying out stricter international regulations on space activities. However, these measures face significant technical, financial, and political challenges. The Tiangong astronauts returned safely to Earth, but their experience serves as a wake-up call. As more countries and private companies venture into space, the need for a comprehensive, global approach to space debris management has never been more urgent. Without action, the very orbits that enable modern life — from GPS navigation to weather forecasting — could become too dangerous to use. 4. What can be learned about the incident in Paragraph 1? A. It was first found by the ground team. B. It led to the failure of the space mission. C. It caused the delay of the astronauts’ return. D. It was proved to be caused by space debris. 5. How does Holger Krag feel about the present space operation? A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Concerned. D. Desperate. 6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the debris problem? A. Developed countries should be accountable for the problem. B. Effective measures have been taken to tackle the problem. C. Humans will be incapable of navigating ways by using GPS. D. Orbits used for critical services may face increasing risks. 7. What might the author continue talking about? A. How astronauts return to earth safely. B. How to manage space debris effectively. C. Some other crises caused by space debris. D. Some threats facing us related to space safety. C In Western culture, there is a saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, in Chinese culture, there is a saying, “Drink a bowl of Laba Porridge and enjoy a year of health without worries.” Today, let’s make Laba Porridge to have a healthy year. As the name suggests, Laba Porridge contains eight ingredients (材料), such as dried longan (龙眼), dried lotus seeds, goji berries, pine nuts, and sometimes traditional Chinese medicine. While the porridge can be served plain, it tastes best when sweetened. In some parts of China, people add ingredients like preserved pork sausage (腊肠) and mushrooms to make the porridge tasty. Before cooking, soak the beans and tough seeds like lotus seeds overnight. This helps them soften and cook faster. The soaking time depends on whether you have a pressure cooker. If you only have a regular pot, you will need to soak them for an additional 2 hours. Don’t forget to wash all the ingredients at the very beginning, even if you buy them fresh from the supermarket. Then, mix the grains, beans, and nuts with cold water. After the ingredients are ready, pour water into a pot or a pressure cooker. You can add more water if you prefer a thinner porridge. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer (炖) for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add the dried fruits 30 minutes before you turn off the heat, as they are easy to cook. Let the porridge cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy it warm, which is perfect for cold winter days. Sounds easy, right? Actually, making Laba Porridge itself is a great way to celebrate the Laba Festival. It is not only tasty but also symbolizes health and good luck for the coming year. Enjoy it! 8. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By explaining the advantages of Laba Porridge. B. By comparing a Western saying with a Chinese saying. C. By describing the ingredients used in Laba Porridge. D. By sharing a personal story about making Laba Porridge. 9. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. The history of the Laba Festival. B. The differences in flavors in northern and southern China. C. The ingredients of Laba Porridge. D. The preparation for cooking Laba Porridge. 10. What does the word “soak” in paragraph 3 mean? A. To boil the ingredients. B. To immerse the ingredients in water. C. To dry the ingredients. D. To mix the ingredients thoroughly. 11. Which of the following is the right order to cook Laba Porridge? ①cooking the ingredients ②buying the ingredients ③mixing the ingredients ④adding the dried fruits ⑤washing the ingredients ⑥soaking the ingredients A. ①⑤③②④⑥ B. ①③④⑤②⑥ C. ②⑤⑥③①④ D. ①②④⑤③⑥ D The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a far-reaching impact on agriculture, forestry, and conservation. By studying the data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species’ chance of success in a changing climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether it flies, climbs or runs. “We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,” said Tong Qiu, who led the study. “That means you’re going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.” But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas. “We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,” said Qiu. The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’s National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and from 11previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gaps in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON’s imaging instruments to create detailed thrẹe-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate (模拟) climate changes to study how the insects would respond. 12. What does the new study in North America show? A. Pests could des troy many North American crops. B. Some ground beetles will not survive a climate change. C. The survival of ground beetles only depends on its habitat. D. Some ground beetles will destroy crops in a warmer climate. 13. What does Tong Qiu intend to convey in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. There is no way to stop the decline of ground beetles. B. Critical pests are more adaptable in a warmer, drier climate. C. Ground beetles will become less mobile in a warmer climate. D. The importance of ground beetles should be widely recognized. 14. How did the research team carry out the study? A. By analyzing data. B. By assessing statistics. C. By doing field research. D. By studying documents. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. North American Agriculture Crops at Risk B. Crop-saving Beetles under Climate Threat C. A Catastrophic Climate Change on the Way D. Beetles’ Reaction to simulate Climate Changes 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 After hours of cooking and arranging the table, your goal is simple: to create an unforgettable dining experience for your guests. But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. ____16____ Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. ____17____ The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. So, making the food visually attractive is key, as guests will assume it tastes as good as it looks. For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. ____18____ They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. A red bowl can also make them hesitant to try new dishes, and they might even refuse food if the bowl’s colour doesn’t suit them. Choosing the right tableware colour is top priority here. White plates are usually a safe choice, but avoid them with pale foods, which will look tasteless. They work well with vibrant dishes like salads or roasted meats, making the food’s colours stand out. For desserts, white plates enhance sweetness and flavor intensity. ____19____ Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. ____20____ matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. Understanding colour psychology lets you turn a simple meal into a memorable experience — all through smart tableware choices. It allows you to guide your guests’ perceptions subtly, ensuring that each dish not only tastes wonderful but also feels perfectly suited to the moment. A. Dark plates have more varied effects. B. They prefer simple tableware without any patterns. C. The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. D. That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. E. Using the wrong colour can ruin the overall dining mood. F. Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. G. The colour of tableware like plates, shapes how guests feel about the food. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, a critical event occurred in my life that would change it forever.

(门票：成人15美元，儿童7.5美元。)”可知，史密斯夫妇和女儿参观吉卜力主题公园需支付37.5(=15×2+7.5)美元。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park部分的“Located within Resorts World Genting, about an hour’s drive from Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur, Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park opened in January 2022. (云顶天城世界主题乐园位于云顶世界度假村内，距离马来西亚首都吉隆坡约一小时车程，于2022年1月开放。)”以及第一段中“The following are a series of new parks that have opened around the world in the last five years. (以下是过去五年在全球范围内新开设的一系列公园。)”可知，云顶天城世界主题乐园开放超过四年。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They are undoubtedly satisfying getaways for parents and children to squeeze in moments of fun. (毫无疑问，它们是父母和孩子们抽出时间享受欢乐时光的令人满意的度假去处。)”可知，四个主题公园的共同点是它们都是适合家庭的公园。 B On November 4, 2025, the astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station spotted cracks (裂缝) on their return capsule’s viewport window. Suspecting that they were caused by tiny pieces of space debris (残骸), the ground team soon carried out analyses and experiments, and finally decided that they posed safety risks and delayed the return. On November 14, the crew safely landed on Earth aboard the Shenzhou XXI spacecraft, completing an extended 204-day mission. Space debris, also known as orbital debris, includes non-functioning satellites, defunct rockets, and broken pieces from collisions (碰撞) or explosions. This junk poses a severe risk because even small pieces, when moving at orbital speeds, carry enough energy to disable a spacecraft or destroy a satellite. The problem has worsened in recent years due to the rise of large satellite constellations (星座). Each new satellite increases the chance of collisions, leading to the generation of more debris — an effect known as the Kessler Syndrome, first proposed by NASA scientist Donald Kessler in 1978. The Tiangong incident is not an uncommon case. In 2021, a piece of debris from a 2007 anti-satellite test narrowly missed the International Space Station, forcing its crew to take shelter in their docked (停泊的) spacecraft. “We’re entering a phase where space operations are becoming increasingly risky,” says Holger Krag, head of the European Space Agency’s Space Safety Programme. Several solutions have been put forward to tackle the debris problem. These include active debris removal missions, which use robots or nets to capture and deorbit junk; designing satellites to be more easily deorbited at the end of their missions; and carrying out stricter international regulations on space activities. However, these measures face significant technical, financial, and political challenges. The Tiangong astronauts returned safely to Earth, but their experience serves as a wake-up call. As more countries and private companies venture into space, the need for a comprehensive, global approach to space debris management has never been more urgent. Without action, the very orbits that enable modern life — from GPS navigation to weather forecasting — could become too dangerous to use. 4. What can be learned about the incident in Paragraph 1? A. It was first found by the ground team. B. It led to the failure of the space mission. C. It caused the delay of the astronauts’ return. D. It was proved to be caused by space debris. 5. How does Holger Krag feel about the present space operation? A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Concerned. D. Desperate. 6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the debris problem? A. Developed countries should be accountable for the problem. B. Effective measures have been taken to tackle the problem. C. Humans will be incapable of navigating ways by using GPS. D. Orbits used for critical services may face increasing risks. 7. What might the author continue talking about? A. How astronauts return to earth safely. B. How to manage space debris effectively. C. Some other crises caused by space debris. D. Some threats facing us related to space safety. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7.

Suspecting that they were caused by tiny pieces of space debris (残骸), the ground team soon carried out analyses and experiments, and finally decided that they posed safety risks and delayed the return. (2025年11月4日，天宫空间站航天员发现返回舱舷窗出现裂缝。地面团队怀疑裂缝由微小太空残骸导致，迅速开展分析与实验，最终判定存在安全隐患并推迟返回。)”可知，这一事件导致宇航员的返回被推迟。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““We’re entering a phase where space operations are becoming increasingly risky,” says Holger Krag, head of the European Space Agency’s Space Safety Programme.(“我们正在进入一个太空操作变得越来越危险的阶段，”欧洲航天局太空安全项目负责人Holger Krag说。)”可知，Holger Krag对当前的太空操作感到担忧。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Without action, the very orbits that enable modern life — from GPS navigation to weather forecasting — could become too dangerous to use. (如果不采取行动，那些使现代生活得以实现的轨道——从GPS导航到天气预报——可能会变得过于危险而无法使用。)”可知，用于关键服务的轨道可能面临越来越大的风险。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As more countries and private companies venture into space, the need for a comprehensive, global approach to space debris management has never been more urgent. (随着越来越多的国家和私营企业进入太空，采取全面、全球性的太空碎片管理方法的需求从未如此迫切。)”可知，作者强调了采取全球性太空碎片管理方法的紧迫性。由此可推知，作者接下来可能会继续讨论如何有效管理太空碎片。 C In Western culture, there is a saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, in Chinese culture, there is a saying, “Drink a bowl of Laba Porridge and enjoy a year of health without worries.” Today, let’s make Laba Porridge to have a healthy year. As the name suggests, Laba Porridge contains eight ingredients (材料), such as dried longan (龙眼), dried lotus seeds, goji berries, pine nuts, and sometimes traditional Chinese medicine. While the porridge can be served plain, it tastes best when sweetened. In some parts of China, people add ingredients like preserved pork sausage (腊肠) and mushrooms to make the porridge tasty. Before cooking, soak the beans and tough seeds like lotus seeds overnight. This helps them soften and cook faster. The soaking time depends on whether you have a pressure cooker. If you only have a regular pot, you will need to soak them for an additional 2 hours. Don’t forget to wash all the ingredients at the very beginning, even if you buy them fresh from the supermarket. Then, mix the grains, beans, and nuts with cold water. After the ingredients are ready, pour water into a pot or a pressure cooker. You can add more water if you prefer a thinner porridge. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer (炖) for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add the dried fruits 30 minutes before you turn off the heat, as they are easy to cook. Let the porridge cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy it warm, which is perfect for cold winter days. Sounds easy, right? Actually, making Laba Porridge itself is a great way to celebrate the Laba Festival. It is not only tasty but also symbolizes health and good luck for the coming year. Enjoy it! 8. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By explaining the advantages of Laba Porridge. B. By comparing a Western saying with a Chinese saying. C. By describing the ingredients used in Laba Porridge. D. By sharing a personal story about making Laba Porridge. 9. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. The history of the Laba Festival. B. The differences in flavors in northern and southern China. C. The ingredients of Laba Porridge. D. The preparation for cooking Laba Porridge. 10. What does the word “soak” in paragraph 3 mean? A. To boil the ingredients. B. To immerse the ingredients in water. C. To dry the ingredients. D. To mix the ingredients thoroughly. 11. Which of the following is the right order to cook Laba Porridge? ①cooking the ingredients ②buying the ingredients ③mixing the ingredients ④adding the dried fruits ⑤washing the ingredients ⑥soaking the ingredients A. ①⑤③②④⑥ B. ①③④⑤②⑥ C. ②⑤⑥③①④ D. ①②④⑤③⑥ 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了腊八粥的食材、详细熬煮步骤以及它象征健康好运的文化意义。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In Western culture, there is a saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, in Chinese culture, there is a saying, “Drink a bowl of Laba Porridge and enjoy a year of health without worries.” (在西方文化中有一句谚语：“一天一苹果，医生远离我。”同样，在中国文化里有一句俗语：“喝碗腊八粥，一年无病忧。”)”可知，作者先提西方谚语，再用中文俗语对比，引出腊八粥这个话题。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“As the name suggests, Laba Porridge contains eight ingredients (材料), such as dried longan (龙眼), dried lotus seeds, goji berries, pine nuts, and sometimes traditional Chinese medicine. While the porridge can be served plain, it tastes best when sweetened. In some parts of China, people add ingredients like preserved pork sausage (腊肠) and mushrooms to make the porridge tasty.(顾名思义，腊八粥含有八种食材，比如桂圆干、干莲子、枸杞、松子，有时还会加入中药材。这种粥可以原味食用，但加糖之后味道最佳。在中国部分地区，人们会加入腊肠、蘑菇等食材，让粥更加美味。)”可知，该段主要介绍腊八粥包含的各类食材。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“This helps them soften and cook faster. (这能让它们变软，熟得更快。)”并结合生活常识可知，让豆子和莲子等坚硬种子变软的方法是将其“浸泡”在水中过夜，画线词意思应该是“将食材浸泡在水中”。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Before cooking, soak the beans and tough seeds like lotus seeds overnight.(烹饪前，将豆子和莲子等坚硬种子浸泡一整夜)”以及“Don’t forget to wash all the ingredients at the very beginning, even if you buy them fresh from the supermarket. Then, mix the grains, beans, and nuts with cold water. (别忘了在开始时将所有食材彻底清洗干净，即使是从超市买来的新鲜食材也不例外。然后，用冷水将谷物、豆类和坚果混合在一起。)”和第四段中“After the ingredients are ready, pour water into a pot or a pressure cooker. You can add more water if you prefer a thinner porridge. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer (炖) for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add the dried fruits 30 minutes before you turn off the heat, as they are easy to cook.  (备好食材后，往锅或者高压锅里加水。如果你喜欢稀一点的粥，可以多放些水。中火将食材煮至沸腾。开锅之后，转小火慢熬大约一个半到两个小时。不时搅动，防止米饭粘锅底。关火前三十分钟放入干果，因为干果很容易煮熟。)”，并结合生活常识可知，制作腊八粥正确的顺序是：②购买食材→⑤清洗食材→⑥浸泡食材→③混合食材→①熬煮食材→④加入干果。 D The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a far-reaching impact on agriculture, forestry, and conservation. By studying the data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species’ chance of success in a changing climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether it flies, climbs or runs. “We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,” said Tong Qiu, who led the study. “That means you’re going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.” But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas. “We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,” said Qiu. The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’s National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and from 11previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gaps in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON’s imaging instruments to create detailed thrẹe-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate (模拟) climate changes to study how the insects would respond. 12. What does the new study in North America show? A. Pests could des troy many North American crops. B. Some ground beetles will not survive a climate change. C. The survival of ground beetles only depends on its habitat. D. Some ground beetles will destroy crops in a warmer climate. 13. What does Tong Qiu intend to convey in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. There is no way to stop the decline of ground beetles. B. Critical pests are more adaptable in a warmer, drier climate. C. Ground beetles will become less mobile in a warmer climate. D. The importance of ground beetles should be widely recognized. 14. How did the research team carry out the study? A. By analyzing data. B. By assessing statistics. C. By doing field research. D. By studying documents. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. North American Agriculture Crops at Risk B. Crop-saving Beetles under Climate Threat C. A Catastrophic Climate Change on the Way D. Beetles’ Reaction to simulate Climate Changes 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究表明，在北美发现的保护农作物的近2000种地面甲虫并不是都能在气候变化中生存下来。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change.

Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,” said Qiu.(邱说：‘我们希望保护生物学家能够利用这些信息和我们创建的在线地图，更好地管理昆虫的栖息地。地甲虫对生态系统非常有益，但一般人基本上看不见它们。在这篇论文中，我们展示了它们对整个森林和农业生态系统社区的广泛影响。’)”可知，在第三段和第四段，佟邱想表达的是，地甲虫的重要性应该得到广泛的认识。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science   Foundation’s National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and from 11previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America.

But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. ____16____ Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. ____17____ The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. So, making the food visually attractive is key, as guests will assume it tastes as good as it looks. For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. ____18____ They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. A red bowl can also make them hesitant to try new dishes, and they might even refuse food if the bowl’s colour doesn’t suit them. Choosing the right tableware colour is top priority here. White plates are usually a safe choice, but avoid them with pale foods, which will look tasteless. They work well with vibrant dishes like salads or roasted meats, making the food’s colours stand out. For desserts, white plates enhance sweetness and flavor intensity. ____19____ Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. ____20____ matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. Understanding colour psychology lets you turn a simple meal into a memorable experience — all through smart tableware choices. It allows you to guide your guests’ perceptions subtly, ensuring that each dish not only tastes wonderful but also feels perfectly suited to the moment. A. Dark plates have more varied effects. B. They prefer simple tableware without any patterns. C. The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. D. That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. E. Using the wrong colour can ruin the overall dining mood. F. Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. G. The colour of tableware like plates, shapes how guests feel about the food. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了餐具颜色对食物感受的影响，以及如何通过选择合适的餐具颜色来提升用餐体验。 【16题详解】 根据上文“But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. (但成功不仅仅取决于新鲜的食材或烹饪技巧。)”以及下文“Colour’s influence starts with the first glance.

(盘子等餐具的颜色会影响客人对食物的感受。)”承接上文“成功的用餐体验不止于食材和厨艺”，引出下文“颜色的影响”，“The colour of tableware”与下文“Colour’s influence”直接呼应，明确了文章核心话题 —— 餐具颜色的重要性。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. (颜色的影响始于第一眼。)”以及下文“The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. (大脑处理颜色信息并将其与味道关联，让我们判断同一道菜是美味、普通还是令人反感。)”可知，此处应描述第一眼看到食物颜色后的一系列反应，D选项“That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. (这种最初的视觉印象会引发连锁反应。)”中的“initial visual impression”与上文的“first glance”相呼应，“a chain reaction”则引出下文大脑对颜色信息的处理和判断。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. (对于挑食的人来说，碗的颜色至关重要。)”以及下文“They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. (他们经常发现放在红色或蓝色碗里的饭菜比放在白色碗里的更咸。)”可知，此处应描述挑食者对餐具颜色的敏感反应，F选项“Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. (他们对餐具颜色的反应往往更敏感。)”解释了“碗的颜色对挑食者至关重要”的原因，即敏感度更高，“Their”指代“picky eaters”，“more sensitive”与下文具体的颜色反应相呼应，逻辑连贯。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. (例如，黑色盘子会让食物看起来更咸、分量更大。这意味着深色餐具需要仔细考虑菜品的味道和分量。)”可知，此处应描述深色盘子对食物感受的影响，A选项“Dark plates have more varied effects. (深色盘子有更多样化的效果。)”是对下文内容的概括，“Dark plates”对应下文 “Black plates”“dark tableware”，“more varied effects”点明深色餐具的特点，引出下文具体举例说明，适合作为段落首句。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. (相反，亮色盘子能增添创意，突出颜色较淡的食物，但也可能出错。)”以及下文“matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. (如果盘子的颜色和食物的颜色太接近，会让食物看起来分量更小，因为一切都融合在一起了。)”可知，此处应描述明亮盘子可能出错的具体情况，C选项“The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. (错误的明亮色调会让食物看起来不自然。)” 是对“亮色盘子可能出错”的具体说明，与下文“颜色过于接近导致分量显小”并列，补充了亮色餐具的另一个弊端，“The wrong bright shade”呼应上文“can go wrong”，衔接紧密。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, a critical event occurred in my life that would change it forever.
