B In 1916,the world's first self-service grocery store Piggly Wiggly opened in Memphis,Tennessee.Today,the chain has more than 530 stores across 17 states,according to its website.Its founding is one of the strangest stories in the history of retail ()But its founder Clarence Saunders was clearly onto something-today, self-service grocery stores are the norm. For the store's opening ceremonies,according to Mike Freeman,writing for the Tennessee Historical Quarterly,Saunders promised to hold a contest for women,which he advertised in local newspapers."At the door, Saunders shook their hands and gave their children flowers and balloons,"Freeman writes."Newspaper reporters posing as contest judges awarded five-and ten-dollar gold coins to every woman.A band played music for the visitors.” This enthusiastic greeting was necessary beccuse Saunders was trying something completely new.Before Piggly Wiggly,groceries were sold at stores where a clerk would collect your order for you,weighing out dry goods from large barrels ()Even chain stores used clerks.Although the chain store model helped keep costs down,the small army of clerks necessary to fill orders was expensive,and at least part of that cost was passed on to the consumer. Saunders's model cut costs by cutting out the clerks."Shoppers on that first day did see some employees stocking shelves,"Freeman writes,"but they politely refused to select goods for visitors."Just like today,a shopper picked up a basket (though Piggly Wiggly's baskets were made of wood,not plastic)and went through the store to purchase everything.By the end of that first year,there were nine Piggly Wiggly locations around Memphis."One day Memphis shall be proud of Piggly Wiggly,"Saunders said a fow months after the store's opening. As for the name,nobody knows."He was curiously unwilling to explain its origin,"Piggly Wiggly's corporate history reports. 24.What do we know about Piggly Wiggly from paragraph 1? 【英语】 第3页共8页 A.It serves special groups. B.It runs few branches C.It arises from old retail. D.It enjoys broad influence. 25.What did Saunders do for Piggly Wiggly's launch? A.He invited famous judges. B.He hired Freeman to report it. C.He offered visitors varied gifts D.He sold customers cheap products. 26.What placed a burden on traditional shops? A.Remote shop sites. B.High staff expenses. C.Short supply of goods. D.Complex pricing rules 27.Which of the following best describes Saunders? A.Confident. B.Cautious. C.Innovative. D.Proud. Newly published research finds that tropical forests can recover up to twice as fast after deforestation with sufficient soil nitrogen ()Scientists from the University of Leeds launched the largest and longest experiment ever designed to examine how nutrients affect forest regrowth in tropical areas cleared for activities such as logging and agriculture. They selected 76 forest plots across Central America and monitored them for up to 20 years.Each site differed in age and size,allowing the team to track tree growth and death during forest recovery.Different nutrient treatments were applied to test nutrient roles.Some were given nitrogen fertiliser,some phosphorus ()some both,and others none. The results showed that the levels of nutrients in the soil strongly influence tropical forest regrowth speed: nitrogen-rich forests recovered twice as fast as nitrogen-lacking ones,while phosphorus alone had no such effect. The findings were published on January 13 in the journal Nature Communications.Lead author Wenguang Tang said,"Our study is inspiring because it suggests there are ways we can boost the storage of greenhouse gases through reforestation by managing the nutrients available to trees. The research team used nitrogen fertiliser for the purposes of the experiment but does not advocate for fertilising forests,as that would have negative consequences,including polluting rivers and lakes and making the soil too weak for trees to stay healthy.Instead,the team suggests more sustainable alteratives.Forest managers could plant trees from the bean family,which host nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root systems that can naturally fertilise the forest.Another option is restoring forests in areas that already have sufficient nitrogen due to the effects of air pollution. Tropical forests are seen as vital global carbon sinks which slow climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and storing it in trees.If young tropical forests worldwide lack nitrogen,they may fail to store about 0.69 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide each year-roughly equal to two years of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas release in the U.K. 28.How is paragraph 2 developed? A.By making comparison. B.By explaining the process. C.By clarifying the principles. D.By analyzing cause and effect. 29.What did the experiment find about forest regrowth? A.Nitrogen doubles the recovery speed B.Mixed nutrients work the best among all. C.Phosphorus can aid forest regrowth indirectly. D.Forests boost the storage of greenhouse gases. 30.What can be inferred from the researchers'recommendation? 【英语】 第4页共8页 A.Fertilisers should be made full use of. B.Using nitrogen leads to harmful side effects. C.People should turn to nature-based solutions. D.Bean trees need to be planted in polluted areas. 31.What is the best title of the text? A.Nitrogen:Key to Forest Regrowth B.Nitrogen:Impact on Climate Change C.Tropical Forests:Recovering Soon D.Tropical Forests:Global Carbon Sinks D Why do some people keep making harmful choices,even when the outcomes are obvious?A new study found that for a small group,the issue isn't lack of motivation or ability,but rather a subtle but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences. The paper,published in Nature Communications Psychology,details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment.Researchers observed three behavioral types:Sensitives(avoid bad choices),Unawares(adjust strategies after being told their errors) and Compulsives(still make wrong choices even after learning their mistakes)."Some people don't leam from experience.Even when motivated to avoid harm,they fail to see their behaviour causes problems,"said Dr Bressel. This study followed past research,which only focused on Australian psychology students,but had key differences:267 participants from 24 countries (including over 50-year-olds),six-month follow-ups,and post-game surveys on their choices.The same behavioral profiles emerged across cultures and ages.In Australian studies,35%were Sensitives,41%Unawares,23%Compulsives;in the new study,26%Sensitives,47% Unawares,27%Compulsives.Dr Bressel linked more Compulsives to older participants,as cognitive flexibility declines with age.Interestingly,when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later,most showed the same behavioral profile."That was striking,"said Bressel."These aren't just random mistakes. They're almost like personality types.This is not to say they're fixed,just that they may require intervention to break."Researchers confirmed Compulsives'choices weren't habits:participants could explain their wrong choices.This points to a deeper issue-a failure to integrate new knowledge to minimize bad outcomes. Dr Bressel noted real life is more complex than the game,but the pattern of ignoring experience and information matches compulsory behaviors.The research has important implications for public health messaging. Many campaigns rely on providing information-about smoking,drinking or financial risks-with the assumption that people will act on it.But this study suggests that maybe information alone isn't enough and specific intervention is needed."Standard information campaigns work for most but not for everyone,"Dr Bressel said. 32.What were participants expected to do in the online learning game? A.Make choices B.Win awards. C.Identify errors. D.Observe behaviour. 33.What is a striking finding of the new study? A.Cognition declines with age. B.Unawares account for the largest. C.Behavioral patterns are consistent. D.Mistakes influence personality types. 34.What does the author suggest for public health campaigns? A.Reviewing behavior errors. B.Developing tailored strategies. C.Increasing lecture frequency. D.Promoting information campaigns. 35.Which is the best title for the text? 【英语】 第5页共8页 A.Knowing Right,Doing Wrong. B.Leeming Risks,Behaving Safer. C.Recognizing Habits,Acting Well. D.Understanding Rules,Breaking All. 第二节（共5小思；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。 There is a moment in life when we realize that less truly is more.36 She used just a glass cup,green leaves,and water boiled three times."The third boil,"she said,"is when the water learns to breathe."I thought her ridiculous.Now,I understand she spoke of a philosophy I took half a lifetime to appreciate-the profound power of simplicity. Modem life,however,makes it hard to live simply.We are flooded with notifications and expectations. Psychologists call this cognitive overload,where information exceeds our brain's capacity.Decision-making deteriorates,creativity shrinks,and we feel exhausted.The accumulation of mess creates subtle but persistent anxiety.The more we accumulate,the more we have to carry,and what we carry eventually carries us.37 Mastering the art of subtraction defines those we admire. Leaming to do one thing at a time is a profound shift.Multitasking,which cognitive scientists say reduces efficiency by forty percent,is overrated.The single most radical act in a distracted world is to give your full attention to whatever you are doing.38 Because it is easier to accumulate than to let go of habits that no longer serve us.Yet letting go is not a loss;it is a choice.Letting go is not failure;it is freedom. 39 Clear out one drawer,delete a useless app,or spend ten minutes in silence.In traditional Chinese painting,"leaving white"-the empty space-is as important as the brushstrokes.Life needs empty space too. Our capacity to appreciate depends on leaving some of it unexploited. Simplicity is a superpower in today's world.When you simplify,you are not losing anything.You are making space for what actually matters.As my grandmother used to say,with a twinkle in her eye,"The tea is just leaves and water.But when you pay attention,it becomes something else entirely."40 A.However,simplicity requires courage. B.The more we win,the more anxious we feel. C.Perfection is achieved when nothing is left to add. D.That,in a nutshell,is what she meant:less is more. E.Start small and embrace the power of empty space. F.Adding more does not make life better;it makes it heavier. G.For me,it arrived when I watched my grandmother prepare tea. 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30分） "My name is..."The words stuck in my throat as I shook a stranger's hand.I 41 to say my name, "Pppeeeettterr".Typical 42 ranged from awkward silence to the joking "Are you sure?"As a child,I would imagine I just made myself look 43 I have been a stutterer since I was 7.I even didn't know its 44.When I was young,I 45 speech therapy()techniques,but I was comfortable in my own mind.When I couldn't avoid speaking,my 46 was to replace words with synonyms().Then I fell in love with science,where precision47 mattered.So,while in graduate school,I restarted speech therapy,and worked on new strategies.I thought I had my stutter under control.

Maria lived in her daughter Jennifer's house after Steve passed away.She didn't have the faintest idea where the photo might be,but she would search every corner of Jennifer's house for it.Jennifer had tried a thousand ways to explain to her mom that they had lost the photo long ago,but Maria was not one to give up.
