On a clear sunny day on the Georgia coast, ecotour guide Rene Heidt leads her guests on her boat through a narrow waterway. Unbroken grasses reach overhead, and there’s no building, power line, or cell tower in sight. It’s a perfect location for visitors to view a nearby mudflat （泥滩）, where roughly300,000 shorebirds, including the roseate spoonbill and the whimbrel, come to eat, rest, and nest every year.
Heidt has had a 15-year career as an ecotour guide and much of what she shares on the tours comes from her experiences. But more recently, the University of Georgia’s Coastal Awareness and Responsible Ecotourism （CARE） certification （认证） program has been designed to support ecotour guides like Heidt, helping improve the information they share with tourists. The program offers up-to-date educational material and training to ecotour guides and provides certification that confirms their devotion to preserving the habitats.
While providing knowledge about Georgia’s natural resources, the CARE program also discusses how to visit some sensitive areas responsibly. Now, when Heidt gives boating tours, she rows with a light touch, moving almost silently across the water. When she shares facts about wildlife with her guests, she doesn’t speak louder than whispers. Actually, it’s a skill Heidt must have perfected in her previous career. "The program changes the way I give tours. It helps me to be more mindful of a boat’s influence on the very thing we are trying to teach people about," she recalled.
Getting trained through the CARE program also benefits Heidt’s business. According to Heidt, the program allows her to learn more about this environment. And that’s knowledge she passes along to her guests. "It’s a fantastic coast," she says. "And it’s important to share its beauty with others to help them realize that it is worth protecting."
4．Why was the CARE program launched
A.To offer the latest tour news.
B.To qualify and recognize ecotour guides.
C.To give aid to local education.
D.To share and publicize travel experience.
5．What may be the suggestion from the CARE program for visiting sensitive areas
A.Reasonably arrange travel routes.
B.Save as much wildlife as possible.
C.Leave as little impact as possible.
D.Fully respect local cultural customs.
6．What is Heidt’s attitude towards the CARE program
A.Doubtful.
B.Tolerant.
C.Uncertain.
D.Favorable.
7．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Tending to Sensitive Coastal Areas
B.Reaching out to Ecotourism Supporters
C.Backing up Ecotourism in Georgia
D.Initiating a CARE Certification Journey
In these days of electronic everything, you’d think that most businesses wouldn’t be using paper cheques （支票） any more. In fact, for most businesses, paper cheques are still a thing. As many as one in three business deals are paid this way and 81% of firms in the US are still using paper cheques to settle some of their bills.
Stop the eye-rolling because yeah, we know electronic payments are quicker to make, authorize and complete, and they’re easier to track and report. They save paper and are good for the environment. They’re more secure, efficient and cost less. They can be made and approved from anywhere. A growing number of businesses not only prefer electronic payments, but are requiring customers to do this. Even Microsoft recently announced that it would no longer accept paper cheques from its partners.
But still ... I’m going to miss the paper cheque. I’ve always enjoyed the circumstance of the biweekly cheque run and the grandest part is the final approval evidenced by the ultimate proof of authority： the signature. Some of my clients take delight in the opportunity to examine and sign every cheque because there’s no better example of power than this. Paper cheques are not only a written form of contracts favored by firms throughout history but also a form of marketing where companies can proudly display their logos. They are clear evidence of stability and reliability.
Unfortunately, the writing is on the wall for the paper cheque. And that makes me sad. According to the Small Business Administration, the majority of small business owners are over the age of 50. We grew up with Swanson TV Dinners, hockey without helmets （头盔） and appointed smoking sections in airplanes. We’ll retire and younger generations will bury us along with our chequebooks.
We know this will unavoidably change. For now, many businesses in the US are still relying on paper cheques to pay. Yes, they’re inefficient and costlier. But please be patient. Allow me to have this one little enjoyment while it lasts.
8．What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 1
A.Doing business is increasingly difficult.
B.Everything is going electronic in the US.
C.Paper cheques are still in use in business.
D.Most American firms fail to pay the bills.
9．What does Microsoft’s decision indicate
A.The growing trend of shifting to electronic payments.
B.The change in forms of cooperation in big companies.
C.The potential comeback of paper cheques in the market.
D.The popularity of electronic payments among customers.
10．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A.Defend his preference.
B.Introduce a new concept.
C.Call for readers’ support.
D.Promote an old tradition.
11．Why does the author mention Swanson TV Dinners and hockey without helmets
A.To emphasize the outdated nature of past trends.
B.To show his attachment to old-school practices.
C.To stress his resistance to technological changes.
D.To suggest the reliability of traditional methods.
For decades, "simpler is better" has been accepted as a universal truth in marketing. Nick Light, assistant professor of marketing at the UO Lundquist College of Business, has tested that assumption. He found that most consumers prefer offerings that appear to be easy to use and understand. However, pushing simplicity can have a hidden, costly downside.
“Simplicity is not a silver bullet,” Light said. This method might work for established companies with track records to back up their claims. But it can be risky for a start-up with no history or a company in a complicated market category where failures or breakdowns are more common.
Light’s earlier experience stimulated his interest in the study. He was a marketing manager at a direct-to-consumer mattress（床垫） company. With the catchword "one perfect mattress", the company offered only one mattress model shipped directly to the consumer’s door, dramatically simplifying the mattress-buying process. "Some customers calling with even minor problems such as a slight discoloration in the material, would get really angry," Light said. "They would say things like, "I don’t understand what’s so difficult about this,’ even when producing and shipping mattresses are quite complex. These customers were getting overly upset because the product and process had been labeled as simple."
The study also showed that consumers judged the complexity of brands or products based on their mental connections. For example, when study participants viewed advertisements for two different companies, they formed mental pictures of the simplicity or complexity of the brand depending on how plain or busy the art was and the details provided in each ad.
Light also looked into product quality and customer opinions and found that consumers are less likely to recommend simpler brands after failures compared to more complex brands. Therefore, the lesson for marketers is to be more careful about building branding and advertising strategies around simplicity, because they could easily backfire if the product or service fails to deliver.
12． What does the underlined words "a silver bullet" in paragraph 2 mean
A.A risky investment.
B.A business strategy.
C.A quick-fix method.
D.A cure-all solution.
13． What did the use of simplicity in the mattress business lead to
A.Rising customer dissatisfaction.
B.Reduced expenses for producers.
C.Longer transport time for goods.
D.More comments from customers.
14． What mainly influence consumers’ views on a brand according to the study
A.The company’s historical background.
B.The impressions shaped by ad design.
C.The advertising reviews on its website.
D.The richness of color in its packaging.
15． What advice does the author give to marketers
A.Advertise after-sale customer service.
B.Be cautious about simplicity-themed efforts.
C.Stress product quality over simplicity.
D.Improve brand presence through social media.

Olympic medals are among the most respected honors in the sporting world, symbolizing not only athletic victory, but also the rich history, fine craftsmanship, and longstanding traditions of the Games.① Are they made entirely of gold, silver, and bronze And what makes the Paris 2024 Olympic medals special
Originally, Olympic winners in 776 BCE were honored with olive wreaths (橄榄花环) rather than medals. The concept of medals as we know them today first emerged at the 1896 Athens Games. However, solid gold medals were no longer awarded after 1912. ② As a result, the International Olympic Committee later updated the regulations regarding medal composition and design.
Modern gold medals are primarily composed of 92.5% silver with a six-gram gold plating for appearance.③ They contain at least 92.5% pure silver, and bronze medals consist of 95% copper and 5% zinc (锌). This mixture ensures the medals’ longevity and makes them cheaper. An Olympic gold medal may be worth over 500, but its value to athletes goes beyond its financial worth.
④ For instance, the 2012 London Olympics medals featured the River Thames and London skyline. Rio 2016 focused on sustainability by using leftover mirrors and X-ray plates. Tokyo 2020 medals, made from recycled electronics, emphasized technological innovation.
For the Paris 2024 Olympics, the medals are particularly distinctive. Each features a hexagon (六边形) with the Paris 2024 logo on one side and Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, in front of the Eiffel Tower on the other.⑤ As Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, stated, “These medals offer athletes a physical piece of Paris to take home.”
A. Pure gold is soft and easily damaged.
B. When were these medals first introduced
C. Who is responsible for designing the medals
D. Silver medals, by contrast, live up to their names.
E. With these symbols, they honor the history of the Olympics.
F. Unique to this year, the medals use metal from the Eiffel Tower.
G. The design of medals reflects the host city’s distinct style and values.
三、完形填空（15空）

34．
George had his eye on a scoring record. He took a deep breath as he stood in the doorway,looking in at the basketball court. The gym was old and small, but it held a long history. Maybe today I’ll make history, George thought.
His basketball league was celebrating. Today’s championship game marked its 50th anniversary （周年） since the league’s first championship.
George looked over the brochure for the anniversary. It listed the winners of each championship game and the top scorers. He stopped suddenly when he read the name of the top scorer from a game 30 years before. He quickly went through the rest of the list. "Look！" he said to his teammate David,showing him the brochure."You see who has the all-time record My dad！ He never told me that."
"24 points," David said. "That’s awesome！"
George’s best record was 19 points. He was the Badgers’ top scorer. "It seems that my dad never showed off something like that,"George said.
When his parents arrived, George brought the brochure over to them. His dad laughed. "I didn’t miss a shot in that game. But look at the score. I would have traded every shot for a win,"he said with regret. George hadn’t noticed that his dad’s team had lost the game just by one point."That was a great group of teammates,"his dad added."You have great teammates in the Badgers, too."
As George warmed up, he was still digesting his father’s words. "This will be a struggle every second,"the coach emphasized before they got on court to play."I want to see tough defense, sharp passing, and, above all, smart play as a team."
George was confident he could lead the Badgers to victory, just as he did in their previous games against the Lions. And he played really hard. As the game neared its end, George had already scored 23 points. Another basket would break his father’s scoring record.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, his team was now one point behind the Lions.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With no defenders around, David turned and shot at the basket.

Some of my clients take delight in the opportunity to examine and sign every cheque because there's no better example of power than this. Paper cheques are not only a written form of contracts favored by firms throughout history but also a form of marketing where companies can proudly display their logos. They are clear evidence of stability and reliability.（但尽管如此……我还是会怀念纸质支票。我一直享受每两周一次的支票处理过程,最令人难忘的部分是最终批准,这由最高权威的证明一签名来体现。我的一些客户乐于有机会检查和签署每一张支票,因为没有什么比这更能象征权力了。纸质支票不仅是历史上企业青睐的书面合同形式,也是一种营销手段,公司可以在支票上自豪地展示他们的标志。它们是稳定性和可靠性的明确证据）可知,作者表达了对纸质支票的喜爱,还提到一些客户喜欢检查和签署每张支票,因为这象征着权力。此外,作者认为纸质支票不仅是历史上的书面合同形式,也是公司展示品牌的一种方式,由此推知,作者在第三段中打算为他对纸质支票的偏爱辩护。故选A。

12．答案： D
解析： 根据后文"This method might work for established companies with track records to back up their claims. But it can be risky for a start-up with no history or a company in a complicated market category..."可知,"Simplicity is not a silver bullet"意思是简单并非是一种万能的解决办法。"a silver bullet"常用来表示能解决所有问题的妙招、万灵药,也就是"a cure-all solution",所以选择D选项。A选项"一种有风险的投资"、B选项"一种商业策略"、C选项"一种快速解决方法"都不符合此处表达的意思。
13．答案： A
解析： 从文中"Some customers calling with even minor problems such as a slight discoloration in the material, would get really angry...These customers were getting overly upset because the product and process had been labeled as simple."可以看出,在床垫业务中使用简单化策略后,哪怕是很小的问题,顾客都会非常生气、不满,导致顾客的不满意程度上升了,所以选择A选项。B选项"生产者费用的减少"文中未提及；C选项"货物运输时间变长"也没有相关表述；D选项"更多来自顾客的评论"不是重点体现的内容,重点是顾客的不满情绪。
14．答案： B
解析： 根据"The study also showed that consumers judged the complexity of brands or products based on their mental connections. For example, when study participants viewed advertisements for two different companies, they formed mental pictures of the simplicity or complexity of the brand depending on how plain or busy the art was and the details provided in each ad."可知,消费者对品牌复杂性的判断主要基于他们看到广告时形成的心理印象,也就是广告设计所塑造的印象影响着他们对品牌的看法,所以选择B选项。A选项"公司的历史背景"不是主要影响因素；C选项"其网站上的广告评论"文中未体现；D选项"其包装中色彩的丰富程度"也并非文中所强调的影响消费者看法的主要方面。
15．答案： B
解析： 文章最后提到"Therefore, the lesson for marketers is to be more careful about building branding and advertising strategies around simplicity, because they could easily backfire if the product or service fails to deliver.",意思是给营销人员的教训就是在围绕简单性构建品牌和广告策略时要更加谨慎,因为如果产品或服务没达到预期,这种策略很容易适得其反,所以建议营销人员要谨慎对待以简单为主题的相关举措,选择B选项。A选项"宣传售后客户服务"文中未提及这方面建议；C选项"强调产品质量而非简单性"不是主要给出的建议内容；D选项"通过社交媒体提升品牌知名度"也不符合文章最后给出的对营销人员的建议内容。
16．答案： B； A； D； G； F
解析： ①根据空后"Are they made entirely of gold,silver,and bronze Andwhat makes the Paris 2024Olympic medals special （它们是用金、银和青铜制成的吗 是什么让2024年巴黎奥运会的奖牌与众不同 ）"可知,后文提出了与奥运奖牌相关的问题,故此空应与后文排比,同样设问,且根据文章第二段内容"The concept ofmedals aswe know them todayfirst emerged at the1896 Athens Games.（奖牌的概念首先出现在1896年雅典奥运会。）"可知,文章第二段在解释此空提出的问题,故B项"这些奖牌于什么时候首次引入的呢 "符合,故选B项。
②根据空前"However, solidgold medalswere no longer awarded after 1912.（然而,自1912年后,不再颁发纯金牌。）"和空后"As a result, theInternationalOlympic Committeelater updated the regulations regarding medal composition and design.（结果,后来国际奥委会更新了关于金牌成分和设计的规则。）"可知,空前提到不再颁发纯金牌,空后又提出了关于金牌成分和设计规则的改变,故A项"纯金很软,容易损坏。"符合,承接前文不再颁发纯金牌的原因,又引出空后修改金牌的成分和设计的规则,故选A项。
③根据空前"Modern gold medals areprimarily composedof 92.5%silver with a six-gram gold plating forappearance.（现代金牌主要由92.5%的银和六克镀金组成。）"可知,空前解释了金牌的成分,且根据空后"They contain at least 92.5%pure silver（它们含有至少92.5%的纯银。）"可知,空后提出了银的成分,故D项"相比之下,银牌是名副其实的。"符合,与前文构成对比,金牌由92.5%的银和六克镀金组成,相比之下,银牌是名副其实的,它们含有至少92.5%的纯银,且空后的They指代D项中的Silver medals,故选D项。
④根据空后"For instance, the2012 London Olympics medals featured the RiverThames and Londonskyline.Rio 2016 focused on sustainability by using leftover mirrors andX-ray plates. Tokyo2020 medals, madefrom recycled electronics, emphasizedtechnological innovation.（例如,2012年伦敦奥运会奖牌以泰晤士河和伦敦天际线为特色。2016年里约热内卢奥运会通过使用剩余的镜子和X光片来关注可持续发展。2020年东京奥运会奖牌由回收电子产品制成,强调技术创新。）"可知,空后举例说明了每届奥运会奖牌的不同的设计,故G项"奖牌的设计反映了主办城市的风格和价值观"符合,位于本段句首,主题句,引出后文,故选G项。
⑤根据空前"Each features a hexagon（六边形）with the Paris 2024 logononsideand Nike theGreek goddess of victory, infront of the Eiffel Tower on the other.（每枚奖牌都是六边形的,一边印有巴黎2024的标志,另一边印有希腊胜利女神耐克站在埃菲尔铁塔前的形象。）"可知,空前提到了伦敦奥运会的奖牌,故此空F项"今年的独特之处在于,奖牌使用的金属来自埃菲尔铁塔"符合,进一步介绍巴黎2024年奥运会奖牌的特点,故选F项。
17．答案： D

The crowd erupted into cheers as the ball fell through, giving George the record-breaking 24th point. But more importantly, it gave his team the lead. They went on to win the game, and George knew that his father would be proud.
