Not every man is cut out to be a father. If the thought of fatherhood fills you with fear, maybe it isn’t for you or maybe it’s a sign that you take the responsibility of fatherhood seriously.
As a parent, you are always going to have to trust your instincts (本能). There’s no comprehensive rule book on parenting. You’ll screw up sometimes. (Hopefully, your husband or wife will be there to nudge (用肘推) you in the right direction. ) And, as in many other aspects of life, doing the right thing will rarely make you popular. Your kids will need limits and discipline, and some days they will get angry with you for it. But the kids know on some level that they need limits and that the responsible parent who is setting and enforcing them is doing so because he or she cares. It’s the children whose parents allow them to do anything they want who often harbor doubts about whether they are really loved.
Certainly, we can find meaning in a lot of places in life. But for most of us who have seen the emergence of a small baby, fatherhood gives life unparalleled meaning. Parenthood, for a lot of us, may well be an antidepressant—not because you always feel good, but because you no longer have any time to sit around feeling bad. Your kids will always need you in one way or another—first for bottle-feeding, then as fellow pretend superheroes and to apply Band-Aids to skinned knees, and then, when they are teenagers, as a free personal Uber service or, once in a great while, for unexpected deep talks about the meaning of life.
I know what I did with my kids day after day, night after night, year over year, mattered so much. I won’t pretend to have everything figured out about life, but I did figure out the immeasurable value in being one link in a great chain of family, stretching back to our ancestors and continuing into the future, into whatever the world throws at us next.
4. What does the underlined phrase “screw up” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Mess up. B. Feel down. C. Stay strong. D. Get inspired.
5. Which statement will the author probably agree with
A. Parenting books are essential for parents.
B. Strict parents are popular with their kids.
C. Disciplining kids is a way to show love.
D. Kids seldom understand parents’ intentions.
6. Why does the author mention the things a parent does for kids in paragraph 3
A. To share some parenting tips.
B. To stress the difficulty of parents.
C. To recall the growth of his kids.
D. To show the value of being a parent.
7. How does the author mainly feel about fatherhood
A. Fearful. B. Stressed. C. Proud. D. Amused.
C
Now an interesting effort is underway to study and protect the reefs(礁). Aran Mooney, a marine biologist, is part of a network of scientists who’ve set up underwater microphones to essentially listen in on marine life.
“It’s just really striking what we can learn without actually visually observing,” says Mooney. “Just by listening—quiet listening—we can observe what the animals are doing out there in the ocean.”
The scientists are racing to record these sounds at reefs threatened by climate change and pollution. The coral reef off the U. S. Virgin Islands recorded in 2013, when it was abundant, includes a wide range of sounds. Shrimp pop bubbles. Whales and fish call out. A year ago, the scientists recorded a reef in the same area that had been degraded by pollution. This time most of the sounds were gone.
The animals have long departed-starting with the tiny larvae (幼虫) that are needed to build up new coral. But Mooney’s team has started an experiment: Setting up underwater speakers to broadcast their recordings of the reef from 2013 in hopes of attracting back the coral larvae. Mooney explains that these tiny jellyfish-like animals get released from healthy reefs and then float for a while in the sea looking for a place to settle. A healthy habitat is super important for them because that’s going to be their permanent location for the rest of their life. Once they attach themselves at the bottom, there’s no chance of moving.
To the scientists’ delight, the effort seems to be pared to a degraded reef where they’re not playing sounds, the reef that they’re acoustically (声学上) enhancing get more coral settlement. Specifically, about two to three times as much settlement. It will take a few more years to see if, as the coral gets re-established, more fish return as well. But Mooney says the results so far suggest an encouraging possibility: All these recordings don’t have to be one more reminder of a disappearing world. They could be a key to restoring it.
8. What is an effort made by Mooney’s team
A. Observing marine animals visually. B. Recording the sound underwater.
C. Racing with other research groups. D. Communicating with marine animals.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The decline of the sounds. B. The diversity of the sounds.
C. The disappearance of the reef. D. The causes of the sea pollution.
10. What do we know about the coral larvae
A. They can block out the broadcast. B. They are cautious about their habitats.
C. They can change their locations easily. D. They are often accompanied by jellyfish.
11. Which word could be used to describe the experiment’s results according to Mooney
A. Worrying. B. Controversial. C. Precise. D. Promising.
D
Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “unequivocally (毫不含糊地) safer,” data suggests otherwise.
According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention, and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not.
Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.
Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency (透明) prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility.
Safety exaggerations (夸大) combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise.
While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology. Rushing the implementation of such technology without addressing its limitations could lead to serious consequences on the road.
12. What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes from paragraph 2
A. 736 fatal cases of self-driving are recorded.
B. NHTSA focused on the crashes on highways.
C. The total number of car crashes is extremely small.
D. The incidents avoided are not counted in the crash statistics.
13. What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims
A. They are supported by comprehensive data.
B. They are based on limited driving environment.
C. They are restricted to the experiences of satisfied customers.
D. They have been proven to be accurate and reliable by NHTSA.
14. What can we know about Full Self-Driving
A. It is ill-received. B. It is well-developed.
C. It needs the driver to stay focused. D. It reduces the accidents greatly.
15. Which title best summarizes the content of this text
A. Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” Cars
B. Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road
C. The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology
D. Reconstruction and Revolution of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving

In the little village of Meadowbrook, surrounded with rolling hills, lived two curious and adventurous twins, Sarah and Sam. At the age of twelve, the inseparable twins were always seeking new adventures.
One morning, Miss Harper, their favorite community service teacher, was introducing community volunteer work. Sam suddenly caught sight of the hill behind the schoolyard and was instantly inspired with the idea of climbing to the top.
“Sarah, ”whispered Sam, “Wouldn’t it be splendid if we climbed to the top of that hill today It’s said to hold breathtaking views of our beloved village. ”
Hearing that, Sarah’s face lit up with excitement, her heart filled with eagemess. “Oh, Sam, that sounds great!But we promise Papa and Mama we will save our pocket money and not spend a single penny unnecessarily. ”With determination in their hearts, the twins worked out a plan. They decided to bring homemade snacks and refreshing drinks from their own kitchen, ensuring they wouldn’t spend a penny.
The twins set off on their journey, their backpacks filled with sandwiches, cookies, and bottles filled with cool, clear water from the village well. As they walked along the path, they noticed colorful trash scattered (散落) about, which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them.
A brilliant idea flashed into Sarah’s mind. “Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way We could clean up our beloved countryside and maybe even earn a few coins by recycling the materials. ”
Excited by the idea, the twins eagerly collected the scattered items. As they reached the foot of the hill, their bags heavy with the collected waste, they came across a recycling center. With excitement, they exchanged their findings for shiny coins. With newfound treasures in their pockets, they climbed up the hill.
When they reached the top, they were greeted by a breathtaking view of their village. “It’s so beautiful!”Sam burst out,” We must share our adventure with Miss Harper and our classmates!”

Not every man is cut out to be a father. If the thought of fatherhood fills you with fear, maybe it isn’t for you or maybe it’s a sign that you take the responsibility of fatherhood seriously.
As a parent, you are always going to have to trust your instincts (本能). There’s no comprehensive rule book on parenting. You’ll screw up sometimes. (Hopefully, your husband or wife will be there to nudge (用肘推) you in the right direction. ) And, as in many other aspects of life, doing the right thing will rarely make you popular. Your kids will need limits and discipline, and some days they will get angry with you for it. But the kids know on some level that they need limits and that the responsible parent who is setting and enforcing them is doing so because he or she cares. It’s the children whose parents allow them to do anything they want who often harbor doubts about whether they are really loved.
Certainly, we can find meaning in a lot of places in life. But for most of us who have seen the emergence of a small baby, fatherhood gives life unparalleled meaning. Parenthood, for a lot of us, may well be an antidepressant—not because you always feel good, but because you no longer have any time to sit around feeling bad. Your kids will always need you in one way or another—first for bottle-feeding, then as fellow pretend superheroes and to apply Band-Aids to skinned knees, and then, when they are teenagers, as a free personal Uber service or, once in a great while, for unexpected deep talks about the meaning of life.
I know what I did with my kids day after day, night after night, year over year, mattered so much. I won’t pretend to have everything figured out about life, but I did figure out the immeasurable value in being one link in a great chain of family, stretching back to our ancestors and continuing into the future, into whatever the world throws at us next.
4. What does the underlined phrase “screw up” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Mess up. B. Feel down. C. Stay strong. D. Get inspired.
5. Which statement will the author probably agree with
A. Parenting books are essential for parents.
B. Strict parents are popular with their kids.
C. Disciplining kids is a way to show love.
D. Kids seldom understand parents’ intentions.
6. Why does the author mention the things a parent does for kids in paragraph 3
A. To share some parenting tips.
B. To stress the difficulty of parents.
C. To recall the growth of his kids.
D. To show the value of being a parent.
7. How does the author mainly feel about fatherhood
A. Fearful. B. Stressed. C. Proud. D. Amused.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。作者探讨了为人父母，特别是作为一个父亲应该尽的义务和责任，以及作为一个父亲的重大意义和价值。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“There’s no comprehensive rule book on parenting.( 关于养育子女，没有全面性的规则手册。)”以及下文“Hopefully, your husband or wife will be there to nudge(用肘推)you in the right direction.(充满希望的是，你的丈夫或妻子会随时帮助你，把你推向正确的方向。)”可知，养育子女没有全面指导手册，你的丈夫或者妻子能帮助你向着正确的方向前进，因此推断有时候你会搞砸事情，划线短语screw up表示“把……搞砸”，与mess up意思相近。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“But the kids know on some level that they need limits and that the responsible parent who is setting and enforcing them is doing so because he or she cares. It’s the children whose parents allow them to do anything they want who often harbor doubts about whether they are really loved.(但孩子们在某种程度上知道他们需要限制，而负责任的父母之所以这样做，是因为他或她关心他们。那些父母允许他们做任何想做的事情的孩子，往往会怀疑他们是否真的被爱着)”可知，作者认为管教孩子是一种爱的表现。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“But for most of us who have seen the emergence of a small baby, fatherhood gives life unparalleled meaning. Parenthood, for a lot of us, may well be an antidepressant—not because you always feel good, but because you no longer have any time to sit around feeling bad. Your kids will always need you in one way or another—first for bottle-feeding, then as fellow pretend superheroes and to apply Band-Aids to skinned knees, and then, when they are teenagers, as a free personal Uber service or, once in a great while, for unexpected deep talks about the meaning of life.( 但对于我们大多数目睹过小婴儿诞生的人来说，做父亲赋予了生命无与伦比的意义。为人父母，对我们很多人来说，很可能是一种抗抑郁剂——不是因为你总是感觉良好，而是因为你再也没有时间坐在那里闷闷不乐了。你的孩子总是会以这样或那样的方式需要你——首先是用奶瓶喂奶，然后是假装超级英雄的同伴，在擦破皮的膝盖上贴创可贴，然后，当他们十几岁的时候，充当免费的个人超级服务，或者偶尔，意想不到地深入谈论生活的意义)”可知，做父亲赋予了生命无与伦比的意义，为人父母，对我们很多人来说，很可能是一种抗抑郁剂，因此推断作者提到了父母为孩子所做的事情是为了说明做父母的意义。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“I know what I did with my kids day after day, night after night, year over year, mattered so much. I won’t pretend to have everything figured out about life, but I did figure out the immeasurable value in being one link in a great chain of family, stretching back to our ancestors and continuing into the future, into whatever the world throws at us next.( 我知道日复一日，夜复一夜，年复一年我对我的孩子们做的事情很重要。我不会假装自己已经了解了生活的一切，但我确实明白了作为一个大家庭中的一环所具有的不可估量的价值，这个大家庭可以追溯到我们的祖先，一直延续到未来，一直延续到世界给我们的下一个挑战)”可知，作者认为自己作为父亲为孩子们做的事情是很重要的，是家庭延续的不可缺少的一部分，有着不可估量的价值，因此推断作者认为对作为父亲身份是自豪的。故选C。
C
Now an interesting effort is underway to study and protect the reefs(礁). Aran Mooney, a marine biologist, is part of a network of scientists who’ve set up underwater microphones to essentially listen in on marine life.
“It’s just really striking what we can learn without actually visually observing,” says Mooney. “Just by listening—quiet listening—we can observe what the animals are doing out there in the ocean.”
The scientists are racing to record these sounds at reefs threatened by climate change and pollution. The coral reef off the U. S. Virgin Islands recorded in 2013, when it was abundant, includes a wide range of sounds. Shrimp pop bubbles. Whales and fish call out. A year ago, the scientists recorded a reef in the same area that had been degraded by pollution. This time most of the sounds were gone.
The animals have long departed-starting with the tiny larvae (幼虫) that are needed to build up new coral. But Mooney’s team has started an experiment: Setting up underwater speakers to broadcast their recordings of the reef from 2013 in hopes of attracting back the coral larvae. Mooney explains that these tiny jellyfish-like animals get released from healthy reefs and then float for a while in the sea looking for a place to settle. A healthy habitat is super important for them because that’s going to be their permanent location for the rest of their life. Once they attach themselves at the bottom, there’s no chance of moving.
To the scientists’ delight, the effort seems to be pared to a degraded reef where they’re not playing sounds, the reef that they’re acoustically (声学上) enhancing get more coral settlement. Specifically, about two to three times as much settlement. It will take a few more years to see if, as the coral gets re-established, more fish return as well. But Mooney says the results so far suggest an encouraging possibility: All these recordings don’t have to be one more reminder of a disappearing world. They could be a key to restoring it.
8. What is an effort made by Mooney’s team
A. Observing marine animals visually. B. Recording the sound underwater.
C. Racing with other research groups. D. Communicating with marine animals.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The decline of the sounds. B. The diversity of the sounds.
C. The disappearance of the reef. D. The causes of the sea pollution.
10. What do we know about the coral larvae
A. They can block out the broadcast. B. They are cautious about their habitats.
C. They can change their locations easily. D. They are often accompanied by jellyfish.
11. Which word could be used to describe the experiment’s results according to Mooney
A. Worrying. B. Controversial. C. Precise. D. Promising.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阿兰·穆尼（Aran Mooney）和他的团队的努力为重点，他们利用水下麦克风来记录珊瑚礁受到气候变化和污染威胁的声音。人们发现通过倾听海洋生物的声音，可以观察到它们在海洋中的行为，这使得珊瑚礁的研究和保护更加有趣。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Aran Mooney, a marine biologist, is part of a network of scientists who’ve set up underwater microphones to essentially listen in on marine life.
(海洋生物学家阿兰·穆尼（Aran Mooney）是一个科学家网络的成员，他们设置了水下麦克风，基本上可以监听海洋生物)”可知，Mooney团队的努力是通过设置水下麦克风来记录海洋生物的声音。故选B项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段中“The coral reef off the U. S. Virgin Islands recorded in 2013, when it was abundant, includes a wide range of sounds. Shrimp pop bubbles. Whales and fish call out. A year ago, the scientists recorded a reef in the same area that had been degraded by pollution. This time most of the sounds were gone. (美属维尔京群岛附近的珊瑚礁记录于2013年，当时它很丰富，包括各种各样的声音。虾爆泡。鲸鱼和鱼叫。一年前，科学家们在同一地区记录了一个因污染而退化的珊瑚礁。这一次，大部分声音都消失了)”可知，第三段主要描述了2013年记录的美属维尔京群岛附近珊瑚礁丰富多样的声音因污染几乎消失了，故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“A healthy habitat is super important for them because that’s going to be their permanent location for the rest of their life. Once they attach themselves at the bottom, there’s no chance of moving. (一个健康的栖息地对他们来说非常重要，因为这将是他们余生的永久位置。一旦它们附着在底部，就没有移动的机会)”推知，珊瑚幼虫对它们的栖息地非常谨慎，故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But Mooney says the results so far suggest an encouraging possibility: All these recordings don’t have to be one more reminder of a disappearing world. They could be a key to restoring it.”(但穆尼说，到目前为止的结果表明了一种令人鼓舞的可能性：所有这些录音不一定是另一个对正在消失的世界的提醒。它们可能是恢复它的关键)”可知，与没有播放声音的退化珊瑚礁相比，他们通过声学增强的珊瑚礁获得了更多的珊瑚定居，因此实验结果是有希望的，故选D项。
D
Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “unequivocally (毫不含糊地) safer,” data suggests otherwise.
According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention, and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not.
Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.
Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency (透明) prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility.
Safety exaggerations (夸大) combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise.
While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology. Rushing the implementation of such technology without addressing its limitations could lead to serious consequences on the road.
12. What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes from paragraph 2
A. 736 fatal cases of self-driving are recorded.
B NHTSA focused on the crashes on highways.
C. The total number of car crashes is extremely small.
D. The incidents avoided are not counted in the crash statistics.
13. What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims
A. They are supported by comprehensive data.
B. They are based on limited driving environment.
C. They are restricted to the experiences of satisfied customers.
D. They have been proven to be accurate and reliable by NHTSA.
14. What can we know about Full Self-Driving
A. It is ill-received. B. It is well-developed.
C. It needs the driver to stay focused. D. It reduces the accidents greatly.
15. Which title best summarizes the content of this text
A. Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” Cars
B. Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road
C. The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology
D. Reconstruction and Revolution of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是特斯拉的自动驾驶车辆所受到的一些质疑和它自身存在的一些问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features.(然而，这些统计数据并不能记录由于汽车的安全特性而避免的事故。)”可知，避免的事故不计入撞车统计。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.(特斯拉的安全声明缺乏背景，因为自动驾驶仪主要是为高速公路设计的，而大多数事故发生在更复杂的环境中，有交叉交通、行人和骑自行车的人。此外，特斯拉的客户群主要是生活在事故率较低社区的富裕人士。)”可知，特斯拉的安全声明是基于有限的驾驶环境。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times.(全自动驾驶不允许汽车完全自动驾驶，司机需要保持注意力，随时准备干预。)”可知，全自动驾驶需要司机保持专注。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “unequivocally (毫不含糊地) safer,” data suggests otherwise.(特斯拉的自动驾驶汽车最近受到调查，因为一份关于车祸的报告引发了对其安全性的质疑。尽管特斯拉首席执行官Elon Musk声称，他们的自动驾驶功能使他们的汽车“绝对更安全”，但数据显示并非如此。)”及后文的描述可知，本文主要讲的是特斯拉的自动驾驶车辆所受到的一些质疑和它自身存在的一些问题，因此最好的题目是A选项“Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” Cars(围绕特斯拉“自动驾驶”汽车的担忧和问题)”。故选A。

It is critical that you consume nutritious foods.
【答案】36. issues
37. To save
38. packaged
39. and
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述如何均衡饮食。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：越来越多的人认为均衡的饮食对保持健康至关重要，因为一味追求美味会导致健康问题。issue“问题”，可数名词，此处泛指“健康问题”，应用名词复数形式，故填issues。
【37题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：为了节省时间，你可以试着看看“食物金字塔”——一个告诉你每种食物应该吃多少的图表。结合句意可知，此处表示目的，应用动词不定式作目的状语，句首单词的首字母应大写，故填To save。
【38题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：你也可以在家做健康食品，避免包装食品或快餐。空处应填形容词作定语，修饰名词foods，package和foods之间是动宾关系，故此处用过去分词packaged作定语，表示被动，故填packaged。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：在以后的生活中，你会感觉更好，精力更充沛，健康问题更少。结合句意可知，空前后表示并列关系，应用连词and连接，故填and。
B
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词，或括号内单词的正确形式。
Open mainstream Chinese social media and you might get the impression that poetry is making ____40____ comeback among the country’s young generation.

【答案】40. a 41. have established
42. which
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是诗歌正在中国年轻一代中卷土重来这一现象。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：打开中国主流社交媒体，你可能会觉得诗歌正在中国年轻一代中卷土重来。comeback“回归，重新受欢迎”是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，comeback是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：目前，诗社已经在视频分享网站Bilibili上建立了账号，获得了超过13.2万名粉丝。由so far可知，句子时态是现在完成时，主语societies是复数，因此空格处是have established。故填have established。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：“现在我很高兴看到诗歌的复兴，这表明诗歌永远不会消亡，因为它总是找到一种方式让它的心脏跳动，”伦敦国王学院研究生Zhou Yuchen说。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词是前面整个主句的内容，因此空格处用关系代词which引导定语从句，故填which。
C
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词，或括号内单词的正确形式。
If you notice someone choking, call Emergency immediately. Then, confirm that the victim is ____43____ (true) choking: A choking person is unable to communicate.

Grabbing your fist hard with your other hand, press up and into his stomach in one stroke. Continue doing so until the obstruction ____45____ (remove).
【答案】43. truely
44. around 45. is removed
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何用海姆立克急救法对窒息者进行急救。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：然后，确认受害者是真正的窒息：窒息的人无法沟通。修饰动词用副词作状语，故填truly。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：如果不起作用，你可以试试海姆利克急救法，走到他身后，用胳膊搂住他的腰。根据句意此处用around“围绕；绕过”，符合语境，故填around。
【45题详解】
考查时态、语态及主谓一致。句意：继续这么做直到将阻碍物移除。空处在until引导的时间状语从句中作谓语，主语the obstruction是单数概念，与动词remove之间为被动关系， 且本句陈述一般性事实， 所以用一般现在时的被动语态，be动词用is，故填is removed。

They decided to bring homemade snacks and refreshing drinks from their own kitchen, ensuring they wouldn’t spend a penny.
The twins set off on their journey, their backpacks filled with sandwiches, cookies, and bottles filled with cool, clear water from the village well. As they walked along the path, they noticed colorful trash scattered (散落) about, which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them.
