第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
A
Have you ever been really hungry, but there wasn’t much to eat in your kitchen Did you throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good You aren’t alone. Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that never would have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.
POTATO CHIPS
One of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man was eating dinner at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York. He ordered fried potatoes, a popular side dish. But when they came out of the kitchen, he didn’t think they were crispy enough. He sent them back to the kitchen, where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced the potatoes really thin, put lots of salt on them, and fried them. Not only did the diner love them, but everyone else did, too. They soon became a specialty of the restaurant.
TOFU
Tofu, or bean curd, is made by curdling (使凝结) fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block, and then cooling it. Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle. This is the same process that is used for making cheese. Like cheese, tofu is a great example of how really messing up a recipe can create something unexpectedly good.
CHEESE PUFFS
Did you ever wonder who thought up cheese puffs The company that invented them wasn’t even trying to make food for people. It was trying to make animal feed. In the 1930s, the Flakall Company of Wisconsin made animal food from small, flaked pieces of grain. One day, an employee, Edward Wilson, watched workers pouring cornmeal (谷粉) into the flaking machine, wetting it to keep it from clogging (堵塞). Because the machine was very hot, the wet cornmeal came out of it in puffy ribbons that hardened when they hit the air. Wilson took some of the ribbons home, added oil and flavoring to them, and voila! Cheese puffs!
21. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Seaweed is also used for making cheese.
B. Chef George Crum didn’t like to criticize others’ cooking.
C. Hot wet cornmeal hardened when they hit the air.
D. Bean curd dates back 2000 years in China.
22. What do the three foods have in common
A. They are the results of complaints.
B. They were not created on purpose.
C. They weren’t originally made for people.
D. They are all popular throughout the world.
23. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To compare the features of some foods.
B. To inform readers of some foods.
C. To recommend some foods.
D. To introduce the origins of some foods.
B
Rathee discovered YouTube in 2014, a time when cheap smartphones and cellular(蜂窝) data led to a boom in internet access in India. Inspired by videos he watched online, Rathee, now 28,started a travel vlog. But he soon noticed a problem.“People in India weren't trained on how to use the internet and blindly trusted whatever they saw on YouTube or WhatsApp." he says. So Rathee, who grew up in a small northern Indian town in the state of Haryana and later studied mechanical engineering in Germany, became what he calls a“YouTube educator”, making videos in Hindi that fact-check topics that are trending on Indian social media.“My aim is to present things as simply as possible and break down complex issues in simple words,"he says.
Rathee's work is incredibly popular—he's accumulated nearly 13 million subscribers, making his YouTube channel one of the most-viewed in the country. It has also led to conflicts. When a film called The Kerala Story began making waves in May, Rathee made a 23-minute video in which he argued that the film promoted a false theory.Though Rathee used the government's data and international sources to make his counterclaim, his fact-checking led to consequences, including threats sent to his family.
Despite the risks, Rathee remains calm.He makes videos for one reason.“I hope they teach people tolerance, coexistence, and accepting each other's opinions, values that I myself really value," he says. “I'm surprised doing such a simple thing can bring so much attention,” he adds, “maybe because no one tries to dare to do that.”
What problem did Rathee notice with Indians
A. They blindly subscribed to vlogs.
B. They were addicted to online videos.
C. They had limited access to the Internet.
D. They were easily misled by online information.
25. Why did Rathee make his video about the film
A. To attract views and attention.
B. To correct government data.
C. To stop the spread of a false theory.
D. To support his previous argument.
26. Which word could best describe Rathee's work
A. Confusing. B. Enlightening
C. Disappointing. D. Entertaining.
27. What does the underlined word "that”in the last paragraph refer to
A. Raising various opinions. B. Challenging the authority.
C. Making fact-checking videos. D. Criticizing traditional values.
C
Today, trees face a serious threat from human activity. Over the past 300 years, 1. 5 billion hectares of forest have been lost, resulting in the loss of biodiversity, desertification, and increased flood risks. Deforestation is also linked to a higher likelihood of disease outbreaks due to increased contact between humans and animals.
In his book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explores how to best protect and restore forests. He argues that merely planting trees is not enough to fight deforestation. Tree-planting projects have increased dramatically in recent decades. Although trees help prevent soil degradation and fight climate change by capturing carbon, poorly planned tree-planting projects can harm ecosystems. Monoculture, where only one type of tree is planted, reduces biodiversity and makes forests easier to suffer diseases.
Robinson advocates for a more informed approach to forest restoration. Regulators must understand the complex connections between trees, people, animals, and even microorganisms. For instance, native people often rely on forests for farming and raising livestock. Therefore, tree-planting projects should take into account local knowledge and the needs of communities to avoid displacing them unfairly.
Robinson highlights several forest restoration projects. The Great Green Wall project aims to grow a line of trees across the Sahara Desert to prevent desert expansion and improve local livelihoods. Another project, Western Australia's Gondwana Link, seeks to reconnect broken forest areas to protect endangered species. These projects emphasize the importance of understanding local ecosystems and investing in the long-term care of young trees.
Robinson concludes that natural regeneration—allowing forests to heal themselves—is one of the best methods of restoration. He compares it to a phoenix (凤凰) rising from its ashes, pointing out that a forest can regenerate from its own leftovers. His descriptions and thought-provoking questions add depth to his narrative. He explores how to understand the environment's fundamental state and examines how animals contribute to forest regeneration. His balanced perspective encourages researchers to develop more effective methods for forest restoration.
28. What does Robinson argue in his book Treewilding
A. Planting trees can pose risks to ecosystems.
B. Deforestation has led to a complete biodiversity loss.
C. Forests can only be restored via human intervention.
D. Planting more trees is the best way to fight deforestation.
29. What does monoculture refer to based on the text
A. A natural process of forest growth. B. A method for restoring ecosystems.
C. A phenomenon harmful to biodiversity. D. A practice that enhances forest health.
30. Why does Robinson emphasize the role of communities in tree-planting projects
A. To ensure the projects are cost-effective.
B. To protect communities from unjust displacement.
C. To make tree-planting projects more digital.
D. To encourage modern technology in restoration efforts.
31. Which is the best approach for forest restoration according to Robinson
A. Planting diverse species of trees. B. Promoting extensive artificial planting.
C. Encouraging natural regeneration. D. Helping animals tackle forest's leftovers.
D
Elephants are the largest land mammals on Earth, and understanding them better could lead to big scientific breakthroughs in science. Both delicate and study, elephant trunks (象鼻) can grasp a single leaf but can also carry nearly 600 pounds. Scientists think that they are an incredible inspiration for the next generation of bio-inspired (仿生) robots.
By conducting a high- resolution motion capture analysis of elephants’ trunks, researchers found elephants have a set of simple movements that they can integrate freely to handle objects of various shapes and sizes. For example, elephants use suction (吸力) to pick up lightweight objects. However, to pick up heavier things, they use suction to secure the position of the objects and trunk wrapping to hold and lift things. “It’s not the whole trunk that is lengthening or shortening — it’s different parts, relying on what the elephant is doing,” said Milinkovitch, professor of the physics of biology at the University of Geneva, Switzerland.
Researchers also performed CT scans and MRIs on the trunk of a dead elephant. They used high- resolution cameras to create a 3D model of a trunk, allowing them to better understand the structure of an elephant’s muscle groups, skin and connective tissues. The study data will be used to help design an innovative“ soft” robotic arm.“ The data is exceptional, but now the effort is to translate this biological data into some engineering specifications,” Milinkovitch said. “We need to extract some simplifying principles that can make the robot’s behavior simple enough to be effective and adaptable to changes.”
The project is also fueling advancements in material science, as researchers have developed a new material similar to the useful properties of elephant skin and can be 3D printed for robotic prototypes (原型). The new materials may be commercialized for a wide range of uses.
32. What does the underlined word “study” in paragraph l probably mean
A. Rough B. Strong. C. Sensitive. D. Broad.
33. How does an elephant handle different objects
A. By sucking them with all the strength.
B. By stretching its trunk based on things’ sizes.
C. By securing the position of these objects at first.
D. By combining suction with trunk movements flexibly.
34. Why do researchers translate the biological data
A. To improve the behavior of the robot. B. To upgrade the appearance of the robot.
C. To test the safety of the robotic arm. D. To study the structure of muscle tissues.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Elephant Trunks: The Theory of Movement in Robotics
B. Elephant Trunks: The Inspiration for Soft Robotics
C. “Soft” Robotic Arms: An Innovation in 3D- printed Robots
D. “Soft” Robotic Arms: A Major Breakthrough in Material Science

How to Bring Our Community Together
Canada is a nation that prides itself on multi-culturalism and opportunity. __36__ Building social connections and a sense of belonging brings people together in ways that strengthen individual relationships as well as whole communities.
There are several things that we can do to develop strong social connections and a sense of belonging:
__37__ One of the simplest ways to bring a community together is through shared experience. Events like an international food festival, a sports league featuring activities from around the world, and health and wellness programs drawing on different cultures, are excellent ways of bringing people together.
Think outside our box. __38__ Many of us get caught up in our own routines and practices and forget that there are other ways of doing things. Try talking to different community members, ranging from youths to seniors, to understand their opinions of the world. __39__
Try new things. Positively influencing our community can go beyond volunteering our time and resources. Consider getting involved in our community by working for the 2017 Census(人口) as an enumerator(普查员) or a crew leader. Census enumerators are responsible for identifying dwellings on maps, conducting personal interviews, and following up with respondents in person and by phone, while crew leaders are responsible for leading, training and supervising a team of enumerators. __40__
A strong feeling of unity in a community can make residents feel comfortable and at home.
Our multi- cultural tradition provides a welcoming environment for individuals and families.
Encourage community members to do some community service work.
These positions provide an opportunity to meet new people and build relationships with members of our community.
Plan community events.
Invite individuals of different cultures to participate in community planning to ensure that every voice is heard.
Learning about different cultures and practices can open our mind to a whole new way of life.

ALJAY’S NEW SMILE
Anita is a mother who clearly adores her son. From the moment she found out that she was to give birth to a son with a cleft (唇裂), she protected him, loved him, and dreamed of the day his lip would be healed.
Anita lives in a small village about two hours from Cagayan de Oro in the Philippines. She already had six children when they found out she would have Aljay, her seventh.
When the doctor performed an ultrasound (超声波扫描检查) in Anita’s seventh month of pregnancy (妊娠期), he saw that her unborn child had a cleft. “He told me to get rid of him” Anita said, tears pouring down her cheeks. “I told him that you don’t just give birth and then give it up. I told him I want this child.”
When Anita showed her new baby to her neighbors, they were horrified. “Your son looks like a monster.” they told Anita, “Get rid of him.” In many places around the world there is widespread and severe social stigma (耻辱) associated with cleft conditions.
Hearing her son being ridiculed (嘲笑) was not the worst of it. “When I tried to feed him, the milk came out of his nose. I was worried that he could die.”
Aljay survived and loved school, but the pain he endured from the other children was hard to bear. They teased him, laughed at him, and called him a monster.
When the teasing became too much, Anita would take Aljay to the cornfields so he was hidden from view and nobody could tease him anymore.
When the family heard that Operation Smile was coming to Cagayande Oro, they began saving money to afford transport to get to the city. At the medical mission Anita finally received the news she was waiting for: Aljay was healthy enough to receive surgery. After just over 45 minutes his lip was repaired and his life was transformed.
Today Aljay is a happy and cheerful boy who loves going to school and playing with other children.
