Most people agree that eating healthy food is important. But sometimes making good food choices can be difficult. Now, there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their health and their dining out experience.
Open Table app
Open Table app helps people choose restaurants when they want to go out to eat. It is a free service that shows users restaurants available based on where and when they want to dine. It gives users points when they make reservations (预定), which can add up to discounts on restaurant visits.
Max McCalman’s Cheese&Wine Pairing app
Wine and cheese can be a great combination. But which wines go best with which cheeses Max Me Calman’s Cheese& Wine Pairing app can help. It provides information about hundreds of different cheeses and suggests wines to pair with each. Max McCalman’s Cheese& Wine Pairing app is free.
HappyCow app
Vegetarians do not eat animal meat. Vegans do not eat any animal products. The HappyCow app is made for both groups. Users can search for vegetarian-vegan restaurants and stores around the world.
LocalEats app
Restaurant chains, like McDonalds, can be found almost anywhere a person might travel. But sometimes travelers want to eat like locals. The LocalEats app is designed for that. It can help you find local restaurants in major cities in the US and in other countries. It costs about a dollar.
Where Chefs Eat app
“Where Chefs Eat” is a 975-page book. Most people would not want to carry that around. But there is a much lighter app version of the same name for just $15. Six hundred chefs provide information on 3,000 restaurants around the world on the Where Chefs Eat app.

When I think about my school experience, there are few positives I can take from it. I had many difficulties in school, struggled to engage in certain lessons, and often felt a lack of motivation. Admittedly, I was a class clown and almost definitely used my humor at the wrong time on too many occasions.
The one shining light was Ms. Sponge. She was my English teacher for much of secondary school. Ms. Sponge helped me discover my love of writing. By calling me up to read in front of the class or asking me to share my stories, she created a stage for me to excel. She did what no other teacher was capable of — seeing beyond my defense mechanism of being a class clown and bringing out the best in me. Soon, I began to enjoy English lessons, knowing that every writing task was an opportunity for escapism.
My love for the written word hit new heights when I started writing my own poetry. This later developed into songwriting, which quickly became my favorite way to express myself. Before long, I started performing songs in school assemblies, which gave me the confidence to perform at music events after I left school. Writing, in all its forms, became my passion and something I had a natural talent for — and I would never have discovered it if not for Ms. Sponge.
Despite her impact on me, I never dreamed of becoming a teacher myself. Even when I eventually found myself working in education after university, I was initially content with the impact I was making as a teaching assistant and a sports coach. However, the more I worked with disadvantaged children, the greater my desire became to make a real difference. I wanted to change the narrative for young boys who came from backgrounds similar to mine, and I soon realized that becoming a fully qualified teacher was the best way to do this.
Ms. Sponge’s kindness and love of teaching planted a seed in me. This is why I love being a teacher, particularly to primary school children.
24．Which word can best describe the author when she was young
A．Strong-minded. B．Kind-hearted. C．Discouraged. D．Unfortunate.
25．How was Ms. Sponge different from other teachers
A．She shared her own stories with her students.
B．She helped the author unlock her true potential.
C．She defended the author against other classmates.
D．She wrote to escape from the pressure of work.
26．When did the author’s love of writing reach a new high
A．When she engaged in teaching. B．When she began writing poetry.
C．When she performed at music events. D．When she graduated from university.
27．Why did the author ultimately decide to become a teacher
A．She wanted to give back to her community.
B．She realized that teaching was the only career she enjoyed.
C．She wanted to earn more respect and stability in her job.
D．She felt pressured by Ms. Sponge’s expectations.
The Atbai Desert, a part of the Sahara Desert, is one of the driest places on Earth, with a sandy and barren landscape that averages zero millimeters of rainfall each year. So, archaeologists were surprised when they recently discovered rock art showing boats and cattle in an area that is 60 miles away from the closest body of water.
“It was surprising to find cattle carved on desert rock walls as they require plenty of water and wide-open grassland, and would not survive in the dry and barren environment of the Sahara today,” said Julien Cooper, an archaeologist from Macquarie University. “The discovery of boat images in the rock art this distant from the Nile or Red Sea was also surprising.”
Archaeologists believe the discovery of ancient rock art in the Sahara Desert provides clear. evidence that this harsh landscape was once a far more hospitable grassland, supporting the theory of a once “Green Sahara” around 3,000 B．C．E. During this period, the area was a grassy plain with lakes and rivers, sustaining a variety of wildlife and human activities such as cattle herding. However, changes in African monsoon (季风) patterns transformed the Sahara into the barren desert we know today. Now, only hardy animals like camels and goats can survive there.
The rock art’s detailed carvings suggest that the creators spent plenty of time in the area, further indicating that the region was once supportive of human life. The transition from a “Green Sahara” to a barren desert changed not only the physical landscape but also the cultural and social structures of the time. As the climate grew drier, many residents were forced to migrate closer to the Nile, contributing to the formation of early urban states and culture in Egypt and Nubia.
The discovery offers valuable insight into the changes that have occurred in the Sahara over thousands of years. It highlights the importance of studying ancient artifacts to better understand the history of our planet and the impact of climate change on human civilization.
28．Why were archaeologists surprised about the rock art
A．It was carved on desert rock walls. B．It was found close to a body of water.
C．It has been well preserved in the Sahara Desert. D．It displays a different view from the current one.
29．What did the ancient rock art indicate
A．The Sahara Desert used to be a stretch of grassland.
B．Cattle could survive in the desert before 3,000 B．C．E.
C． The African monsoon had brought much rainfall to Sahara.
D．Human activities posed a big threat to Sahara’s wild animals.
30．What resulted from the transition from a “Green Sahara” to a barren desert
A．It forced many residents to leave the Nile. B．It made the region isolated from other states.
C．It facilitated trade links between Egypt and Nubia. D．It greatly affected local culture and social patterns.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．The Origin of the Atbai Desert B．The Discovery of Ancient Rock Art
C．The Role of the Sahara’s Rock Carvings D．The Significance of Protecting Ancient Artifacts
Math anxiety is far from uncommon, but those who experience it often try to avoid math altogether. Research from the University of Chicago provides evidence of a link between math anxiety and avoidance.
Studying nearly 500 adults through a computer program called the Choose-And-Solve Task (CAST), researchers gave participants a choice between math and word problems labeled “easy” and “hard.” The easy problems were always worth two cents, while the hard problems were worth up to six cents. Participants were also told that the computer task would modify the questions based on their abilities, enabling them to handle about 70% of the hard problems.
Although participants attempted hard word problems when offered higher monetary rewards, they rarely made the same choice for math problems. “We found we couldn’t even pay math-anxious individuals to do difficult math problems,” researcher Rozek stated.
The findings also challenges a common belief that math anxiety and math avoidance are caused by poor math skills. “If you take two students who are good at math, the math-anxious one will perform worse than the one who isn’t anxious,” the study suggests.
This mentality doesn’t just stop people from taking calculus courses or choosing STEM careers — it can also affect everyday interactions with math, such as leaving a tip at a restaurant. However, all is not lost. Reframing anxiety from negative to positive could help math-anxious individuals re-engage. Providing guidance to those anxious about exams may improve their performance. Rozek suggests telling them, “If you’re anxious, it just means your body is preparing to focus and do well.” Another possible solution is to create early positive experiences with math. For example, telling stories that combine math and solving problems related to the story may help reduce anxiety and avoidance.
32．What does the underlined word “modify” mean in Paragraph 2
A．Adjust B．Supply C．Solve D．Add
33．What does the study find
A．Math anxiety interacts with math avoidance.
B．Word problems are often regarded as easier.
C．Fear of math can beat the desire for higher rewards.
D．People underestimate their mathematical ability.
34．What is a common misunderstanding about math anxiety
A．It is the cause of math avoidance. B．It causes people to be bored with math.
C．It is a complex phenomenon in life. D．It results from poor math performance.
35．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Consequences of math avoidance. B．Ways to break the anxiety-avoidance link.
C．Explanations for math anxiety. D．Mental barriers to mathematical achievement.

六、书面表达
67．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。
Bobby was getting cold sitting out in his backyard in the snow. Bobby didn't wear boots, or rather, he didn't own any. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them and they did a poor job of keeping out the cold.
Bobby had been in his backyard for about an hour already. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother's Christmas gift. He shook his head as he thought, “This is useless. Even if I do come up with an idea, I don't have any money for a gift.”
Wiping tears from his eyes, Bobby started walking down to the street where the shops were. It wasn't easy being six without a father, particularly when he needed a man to talk to.
Bobby walked from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window. Everything seemed so beautiful but so out of reach. It was starting to get dark and Bobby reluctantly turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the glimmer (微光) of the setting sun's rays reflecting on something on the roadside. He reached down and discovered a shiny dime (一角硬币).
Never before had Bobby felt as wealthy as he did at that moment. As he held his newly-found treasure, warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store. His excitement quickly turned cold when salesperson after salesperson told him that he could not buy anything with only a dime.
He saw a flower shop and went inside to wait in line. When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother's Christmas gift. The shop owner looked at Bobby and his one dime offering. Then he put his hand on Bobby's shoulder, saying, “You just wait here and I'll see what I can do for you.” As Bobby waited, he looked at the beautiful flowers and even though he was a boy, he could see why mothers and girls loved flowers.
Paragraph 1:
A few minutes later, the shop owner came out.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
With the bunch of roses in his hands, Bobby walked out of the door and then broke into a run.

17．A 18．B 19．C 20．B
【原文】 Hello everyone. Today I’m going to share with you one of my learning tools. I’m really glad my English teacher told me about Verbo. It’s a fantastic free language learning website. What makes it different is its focus on individual learning styles. The first time you join the website, you’ll need to answer a list of questions. By doing this, you’ll know how you learn best. Then, you’re offered learning resources which work with your learning style. For example, I discovered I learn best when I hear something. Therefore, most of my lessons are recordings, and I’m asked to repeat what I’ve learned, which helps me remember. My friend learns better through reading and writing, so she gets a lot of worksheets to print out and use. One resource we both use and enjoy is the “side-by-side books”. They are online books which provide the story in both Chinese and English. My friend tends to just read them, but I love that I can listen to them, too. I really recommend Verbo, because there’s something for everyone!
21．B 22．C 23．B
【导语】这是一篇应用文。大多数人都想吃的健康，但是有时候选择好食物很难，而本文就给读者介绍了五个帮助他们了解健康饮食的应用软件。
21．细节理解题。根据Open Table app部分中“It is a free service that shows users restaurants available based on where and when they want to dine.(这是一项免费服务，可以根据用户想要用餐的地点和时间向他们显示可用的餐厅)”和Where Chefs Eat app部分中“Six hundred chefs provide information on 3,000 restaurants around the world on the Where Chefs Eat app.(600名厨师在‘Where chefs Eat’应用程序上提供全球3000家餐厅的信息)”可知，两者的共同点是它们都专注于国际餐厅搜索，故选B。
22．细节理解题。根据HappyCow app小标题中“Vegetarians do not eat animal meat. Vegans do not eat any animal products. The HappyCow app is made for both groups.(素食者不吃肉。严格素食者不吃任何动物产品。而The HappyCow软件就是为这两个群体制作的)”可知，HappyCow软件是为不喜欢吃肉的人设计的。故选C。
23．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Now, there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their health and their dining out experience.(现在，有一些应用程序可以帮助人们了解他们吃的食物，从而改善他们的健康和外出就餐的体验)”以及文章主要介绍了五个应用软件推知，最有可能在手机应用介绍看到本文。故选B。
24．C 25．B 26．B 27．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者立志成为一名教师的心路历程。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When I think about my school experience, there are few positives I can take from it.(当我想到我的学校经历时，我几乎不能从中得到一些积极的东西)”以及下文的描述可推知，作者在学生时代感到非常失意，因此选择C. Discouraged(沮丧的)。故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“By calling me up to read in front of the class or asking me to share my stories, she created a stage for me to excel. She did what no other teacher was capable of — seeing beyond my defense mechanism of being a class clown and bringing out the best in me.(通过叫我在全班同学面前朗读或让我分享我的故事，她为我创造了一个超越的舞台。她做了其他老师无法做到的事——看穿了我作为班级小丑的自我防卫机制，激发出了我最好的一面)”可知，与其他老师不同，Ms. Sponge帮助作者发掘出了自己最好的一面。因此，B. She helped the author unlock her true potential(她帮助作者发掘了真正的潜力)正确。故选B。
26．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“My love for the written word hit new heights when I started writing my own poetry.(当我开始写自己的诗时，我对文字的热爱达到了新的高度)”可知，作者开始创作诗歌时，她对写作的热爱达到了新的高度。因此，B. When she began writing poetry(当她开始写诗时)正确。故选B。
27．细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, the more I worked with disadvantaged children, the greater my desire became to make a real difference. I wanted to change the narrative for young boys who came from backgrounds similar to mine, and I soon realized that becoming a fully qualified teacher was the best way to do this.(然而，我和弱势儿童一起工作的越多，我就越渴望真正有所作为。我想改变与我背景相似的年轻男孩的故事，我很快意识到，成为一名完全合格的教师是实现这一目标的最佳途径)”可知，作者最初并没有想成为教师，但在与弱势学生的接触中，她意识到自己可以通过教育改变他们的未来。这是一种“回馈社区”的精神，因此A选项正确。B、C和D都与文章核心思想不符。故选A。
28．D 29．A 30．D 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了考古学家在撒哈拉沙漠发现了古代岩石艺术，这表明撒哈拉沙漠曾经是一片草原。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“So, archaeologists were surprised when they recently discovered rock art showing boats and cattle in an area that is 60 miles away from the closest body of water.(因此，考古学家最近在距离最近的水域60英里的地方发现了展示船只和牛的岩石艺术，这让他们感到惊讶)”可知，考古学家最近发现了展示船只和牛的岩石艺术，结合上文“The Atbai Desert, a part of the Sahara Desert, is one of the driest places on Earth, with a sandy and barren landscape that averages zero millimeters of rainfall each year.(阿拜沙漠是撒哈拉沙漠的一部分，是地球上最干燥的地方之一，沙质贫瘠，年平均降雨量为零毫米)”可知，阿拜沙漠是地球上最干燥的地方之一，年平均降雨量为零毫米。由此推知，考古学家对岩石艺术感到惊讶是因为它展示了与当前不同的景观。故选D项。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Archaeologists believe the discovery of ancient rock art in the Sahara Desert provides clear. evidence that this harsh landscape was once a far more hospitable grassland, supporting the theory of a once “Green Sahara” around 3,000 B.C.E.(考古学家认为，在撒哈拉沙漠发现的古代岩石艺术提供了清晰的线索。这些证据表明，这片贫瘠的土地曾经是一片更加适宜居住的草原，支持了公元前3000年左右曾经存在“绿色撒哈拉”的理论)”可知，古老的岩石艺术表明了撒哈拉沙漠曾经是一片草原。故选A项。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“As the climate grew drier, many residents were forced to migrate closer to the Nile, contributing to the formation of early urban states and culture in Egypt and Nubia.(随着气候变得越来越干燥，许多居民被迫迁移到离尼罗河更近的地方，这为埃及和努比亚早期城市国家和文化的形成做出了贡献)”可知，从“绿色撒哈拉”到贫瘠沙漠的转变极大地影响了当地的文化和社会模式。故选D项。
31．主旨大意题。根据首段“The Atbai Desert, a part of the Sahara Desert, is one of the driest places on Earth, with a sandy and barren landscape that averages zero millimeters of rainfall each year. So, archaeologists were surprised when they recently discovered rock art showing boats and cattle in an area that is 60 miles away from the closest body of water.(阿拜沙漠是撒哈拉沙漠的一部分，是地球上最干燥的地方之一，沙质贫瘠，年平均降雨量为零毫米。因此，考古学家最近在距离最近的水域60英里的地方发现了展示船只和牛的岩石艺术，这让他们感到惊讶)”以及下文介绍的对这一发现的看法和分析可知，本文主要介绍的是考古学家在撒哈拉沙漠发现的古代岩石艺术，表明这曾经是一片草原。由此可知，“古代岩石艺术的发现”可以概括本文的主题，适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了数学焦虑并不罕见，但很多时候，那些害怕这门学科的人只是回避它。芝加哥大学的一项研究证实了数学焦虑与数学回避之间的联系。
32．词句猜测题。画线词后的“enabling them to handle about 70% of the hard problems(使他们能够处理大约70%的难题)”表明，为了让研究对象能够解决大约70%的难题，计算机任务会在测试过程中基于研究对象的能力调整题目。其中“adjust”(调整)与“modify”(调整、修改)意思相近，故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Although participants attempted hard word problems when offered higher monetary rewards, they rarely made the same choice for math problems. ‘We found we couldn’t even pay math-anxious individuals to do difficult math problems,’ researcher Rozek stated.(尽管参与者在获得更高的金钱奖励时尝试了困难的文字问题，但他们很少在数学问题上做出同样的选择。研究人员Rozek说：‘我们发现，我们甚至无法付钱让数学焦虑的人做困难的数学题。’)”可知，研究发现，当承诺更高奖金时，参与者会尝试较难的文字问题，但他们很少选择较难的数学问题，甚至连金钱奖励都无法促使数学焦虑者去挑战难题。因此，数学焦虑会超过对更高奖励的追求，故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The findings also challenges a common belief that math anxiety and math avoidance are caused by poor math skills. ‘If you take two students who are good at math, the math-anxious one will perform worse than the one who isn’t anxious,’ the study suggests.(这一发现也挑战了人们普遍认为的数学焦虑和数学回避是由糟糕的数学技能造成的。研究表明：‘如果你选择两个数学很好的学生，数学焦虑的那个会比不焦虑的那个表现得更差。’)”可知，研究发现驳斥了一种广泛持有的观念，即数学焦虑和回避数学的根源是数学成绩不好。这表明数学焦虑并非源于数学能力低，故选D。
35．主旨大意题。最后一段“This mentality doesn’t just stop people from taking calculus courses or choosing STEM careers — it can also affect everyday interactions with math, such as leaving a tip at a restaurant.(这种心态不仅会阻止人们学习微积分课程或选择STEM职业，还会影响与数学的日常互动，比如在餐馆给小费)”首先提到数学焦虑对学习和日常生活的影响，随后下文“Reframing anxiety from negative to positive could help math-anxious individuals re-engage.(将焦虑从消极转变为积极可以帮助数学焦虑的人重新投入)”和“Another possible solution is to create early positive experiences with math.(另一个可能的解决方案是创造早期积极的数学体验)”作者提出两种方法来打破数学焦虑与数学回避之间的联系：1．转换对焦虑的态度(Reframing anxiety)——例如，告诉考生焦虑其实是身体在帮助他们集中注意力和发挥。2．创造早期的积极数学体验(Creating early positive experiences)——例如，通过讲数学故事并围绕故事解决问题，使数学更有趣。整段内容围绕如何减少数学焦虑展开，故选B。

Students showcased talents in playing traditional instruments like the guzheng and erhu, while modern dances and pop song singing show the youthful energy of students. The highlight of the event was the English Song Singing Contest, where more than fifty selected students delivered fascinating performance.
The festival received overwhelming praise. Not only did it make our campus life more colorful but also deepened our love for music and art.
67．Paragraph 1:
A few minutes later, the shop owner came out. He asked Bobby to come to the counter. There, before Bobby's eyes, lay twelve red roses, with leaves of green and tiny white flowers all tied together with a big silver tape. Bobby's heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man.” the shop keeper said, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime. Could this be true He wondered.
Paragraph 2:
With the bunch of roses in his hands, Bobby walked out of the door and then broke into a run. Within minutes, he was at home, still breathless. “Look, Mother, what have I bought for you ” Bobby called out in the backyard. Mother came out from inside the house. She could hardly believe her eyes upon seeing the beautiful flowers in front of her. “Merry Christmas!” Bobby said and began to tell her everything he had experienced in the flower shop. Tearfully, Mother hugged her son in her arms. Standing in the bitter cold air, they somehow didn't feel cold at all.
