A
When Laura Smith was 14 years old, she volunteered at a nonprofit food community organization. As she was filling bags with donated (捐赠) food, she noticed something that didn’t seem right: Canned and packaged goods were plentiful, but she saw nothing fresh or green to give to families in need. She thought it would be great to change that. She wanted to start a garden on part of her parents’ farmland to provide families with home-grown produce.
While being proud of her, Laura’s father expressed worry about the workload involved. Laura had raised rabbits and lambs before, but she had never tried growing vegetables on such an extensive level. However, he soon realized that his daughter was ready. Laura did a lot of research online to find out what worked and what didn’t, which plants needed shade, which needed more water, and when was the best time to harvest each crop.
In spring 2021 Laura planted 15 types of vegetables on a land of 5,000 square meters. When the first green shoots appeared, it was an exciting feeling. Yet, that’s where the real work began. “Our summers are very hot and dry, so I had to water every day,” said Laura. Throughout the summer, she checked her plants daily for weeds and watered them by hand, using two water tanks attached to a farm vehicle to continually refill her watering can.
Laura was soon ready to harvest and weigh her first crops-the first batch weighed 40 pounds. She then packaged them and donated the products to eight local groups. “It felt really good to know that anyone who wanted fresh vegetables could get them,” Laura said.
Over the past two years, Laura has donated more than 8,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables. “Laura’s confidence and generous hand in helping those in need have made a greater impact than she could have imagined,” said Remi Freeman, an official from one of the charity groups. “It helps our mission to end hunger, and also demonstrates the selflessness and kindness that is so wonderful to see in younger people.”
1. What inspired Laura to start a garden
A. Her interest in gardening.
B. Her parents’ expectations.
C. Lack of fresh produce in the donated food.
D. Poor quality of canned and packaged food.
2. What concerned Laura’s father about her plan at first
A. The money needed. B. The amount of work.
C. Her farming knowledge. D. Her working experience.
3. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Laura’s hard work. B. Laura’s ambitious plan.
C. The poor weather condition. D. The skills needed for farming.
4. What is the best title for the passage
A. A Great Gardening Dream
B. A Journey to Green Living
C. A Close Study on Organic Food
D. A Harvest of Growing Kindness
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了14岁的Laura Smith在一家非营利性食品社区组织做志愿者。她发现在捐赠的食品当中，缺少新鲜或绿色的蔬菜和水果，所以她决定自己在家里种植。她在两年中捐赠了8000多磅的水果和蔬菜，展示了年轻人的无私和善良。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As she was filling bags with donated (捐赠) food, she noticed something that didn’t seem right: Canned and packaged goods were plentiful, but she saw nothing fresh or green to give to families in need. (当她把捐赠的食物装进袋子时，她注意到了一些似乎不对劲的东西：罐头和包装食品很多，但她没有看到任何新鲜或绿色的东西可以送给有需要的家庭)”可知，在捐赠的食品当中，Laura Smith发现缺少新鲜或绿色的蔬菜或水果，这激发了她创办菜园的想法。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“While being proud of her, Laura’s father expressed worry about the workload involved.(劳拉的父亲在为她感到骄傲的同时，也对所涉及的工作量表示担忧)”可知，Laura 的父亲对于她将要做的工作量而担心。故选B。
【3题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Yet, that’s where the real work began. “Our summers are very hot and dry, so I had to water every day,” said Laura. Throughout the summer, she checked her plants daily for weeds and watered them by hand, using two water tanks attached to a farm vehicle to continually refill her watering can.(然而，这才是真正的工作开始的地方。劳拉说：“我们的夏天又热又干，所以我每天都要浇水。”。整个夏天，她每天都要检查植物是否有杂草，并用连接在农用车上的两个水箱不断地给她的喷壶浇水)”可知，第三段主要讲述了Laura在种植菜园时付出的辛苦工作。故选A。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Over the past two years, Laura has donated more than 8,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables. “Laura’s confidence and generous hand in helping those in need have made a greater impact than she could have imagined,” said Remi Freeman, an official from one of the charity groups. “It helps our mission to end hunger, and also demonstrates the selflessness and kindness that is so wonderful to see in younger people.”(在过去的两年里，劳拉捐赠了8000多磅的水果和蔬菜。其中一个慈善团体的官员雷米·弗里曼说：“劳拉在帮助那些需要帮助的人时表现出的自信和慷慨，产生了比她想象的更大的影响。”。“这有助于我们结束饥饿的使命，也展示了年轻人的无私和善良。”)”以及全文可知，本文主要讲述了14岁的Laura Smith在一家非营利性食品社区组织做志愿者。她发现在捐赠的食品当中，缺少新鲜或绿色的蔬菜和水果，所以她决定自己在家里种植。她在两年中捐赠了8000多磅的水果和蔬菜，展示了年轻人的无私和善良。所以“日益增长的善意的收获”适合作本文的标题。故选D。

With growing awareness of the gender gap in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields, where women hold only 27% of jobs, Chinese researchers have explored a cause influencing women’s participation in STEM careers. They studied how teen girls can be influenced by their own peers who believe the inaccurate stereotype (刻板印象) that boys are better at math.
The study found that when surrounded by peers holding this stereotype, middle-school girls scored lower on math tests. This influence even persisted into college, impacting women’s math performance and self-confidence. The researchers suggest dealing with this issue during the middle school period to reduce the negative impact on women’s long-term STEM engagement.
Middle school is considered a critical developmental stage where teens are forming a stronger sense of self separate from their parents. This change often makes teens more likely to be influenced by the opinions of their peers. It’s also a period when, objectively measured by standardized tests, girls on average have better math skills than boys. However, teens may not realize it.
In some middle schools in China, the researchers studied the potential role of peer-pressure beliefs of the gendered math stereotype. In classrooms where the belief that “boys” natural ability in studying math is greater than that of girls” was significantly higher than the standard, girls’ later performance on math tests was lower than the results for boys. Moreover, girls in these classrooms were less likely to participate in math-related out-of-class activities. They were also less likely to feel that their teachers paid attention to them and offered praise, leading to lower math-related self-confidence.
The researchers conclude that preventing the harm from gender math stereotyping requires a change of the social environment for children and young adults, in addition to focusing on changing girls’ attitudes and choices.
5. What is the focus of the study
A. Inaccurate stereotype of STEM.
B. Women’s participation in STEM.
C. Teen girls’ academic performance.
D. Gender stereotype’s influence on girls.
6. What fact may teens ignore according to Paragraph 3
A. Girls do better in math than boys.
B. Teens have strong self-confidence.
C. Teens are experiencing a key stage.
D. Girls are easily affected by their peers.
7. Girls in classrooms with higher levels of gender stereotype will probably ________.
A. score high in standardized tests
B. be often praised by math teachers
C. show low confidence in math tests
D. take an active part in school’s math club
【答案】5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究发现，中学女生在受到同龄人的数学性别刻板印象影响时，数学考试成绩会降低，这种影响甚至会持续到大学，影响女性的数学表现和自信心。研究人员认为，应在中学阶段解决这个问题，以减少对女性长期从事STEM领域的负面影响。预防性别数学板印象的伤害需要改变儿童和年轻人的社会环境，而不仅仅是改变女孩的态度和选择。
【5题详解】
细节理解题，根据第一段“With growing awareness of the gender gap in STEM（science, technology, engineering, mathematics）fields, where women hold only 27% of jobs, Chinese researchers have explored a cause influencing women’s participation in STEM careers. They studied how teen girls can be influenced by their own peers who believe the inaccurate stereotype（刻板印象）that boys are better at math.( 随着人们越来越意识到STEM(科学、技术、工程、数学)领域的性别差距，中国研究人员探索了影响女性参与STEM职业的原因。在STEM领域，女性只占27%的职位。他们研究了青少年女孩是如何受到同龄人的影响的，这些同龄人相信男孩更擅长数学这一不准确的刻板印象。)”可知，研究的重点为性别刻板印象对女孩的影响。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题，根据第三段“Middle school is considered a critical developmental stage where teens are forming a stronger sense of self separate from their parents. This change often makes teens more likely to be influenced by the opinions of their peers. It’s also a period when, objectively measured by standardized tests, girls on average have better math skills than boys. However, teens may not realize it.(中学被认为是一个关键的发展阶段，在这个阶段，青少年与父母形成了更强的自我分离感。这种变化往往会使青少年更容易受到同龄人意见的影响。这也是一个通过标准化测试客观衡量的时期，女孩的数学技能平均比男孩好。然而，青少年可能没有意识到这一点。)”可知，青少年可能忽略了女孩的数学比男孩好这一事实。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In classrooms where the belief that “boys” natural ability in studying math is greater than that of girls” was significantly higher than the standard, girls’ later performance on math tests was lower than the results for boys. Moreover, girls in these classrooms were less likely to participate in math-related out-of-class activities. They were also less likely to feel that their teachers paid attention to them and offered praise, leading to lower math-related self-confidence.( 在相信“男孩学习数学的天赋比女孩强”的班级中，女孩在数学测试中的后期表现低于男孩。此外，这些教室里的女孩不太可能参加与数学有关的课外活动。他们也不太可能感觉到老师对他们的关注和表扬，导致他们在数学方面的自信心下降。)”可知，性别刻板印象水平较高的教室里的女孩可能会在数学考试中表现出低信心。故选C。
C
A book called The Power of Language explores influences of speaking more than one language on the way people think and act.
Language plays a significant role in all aspects of human social and cognitive（认知的）life. People communicate with each other in a language. The language people speak also influences the way they think. These effects become even more complex when people speak more than one language.
If you speak more than one language, chances are you use them in different situations. You may speak one language at home and another at work. If you are asked to think about something fun in the language you speak at home, you are more likely to think of an event with your family, but when asked in the language you speak at work, you will think of an enjoyable interaction with colleagues.
The language used to answer the question makes it easier to think of memories associated with using that language. The memories you are reminded of in a situation affect what you are likely to do and even how you are likely to feel in that situation.
In addition, properties of the language can affect your decisions. In the book, the writer points out that some languages（like English）require you to use different tenses when talking about events in the present and the future. Other languages（like German and Chinese）do not. Existing evidence suggests that people who speak languages whose grammar uses a different tense between present and future are less likely to make choices that benefit their future selves than people who speak languages that do not. Consequently, the actions you take when speaking different languages can have very different influences on your future.
8. How does the writer explain the influence of language in Paragraph 3
A. By explaining facts. B. By giving examples.
C. By making statements. D. By sharing experiences.
9. What does the underlined word “properties” mean
A. Features. B. Types. C. Origins. D. Impacts.
10. What can we learn about people’s decision-making from the last paragraph
A. It is related to their mastery of grammar.
B. It is mainly based on personal expectations.
C. It is linked with the number of languages they use.
D. It can be affected by the tenses used in a language.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一本名为《语言的力量》的书，书中探讨了会说多种语言对人们思考和行动方式的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第3段“You may speak one language at home and another at work. If you are asked to think about something fun in the language you speak at home, you are more likely to think of an event with your family, but when asked in the language you speak at work, you will think of an enjoyable interaction with colleagues.(你可能在家里说一种语言，在工作中说另一种语言。如果你被要求用你在家里说的语言来想一些有趣的事情，你更有可能想到与家人的一件事，但当你被要求用你在工作中说的语言来想时，你会想到与同事的愉快互动。)”可知，作者通过举例来说明语言的影响的。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“In the book, the writer points out that some languages(like English)require you to use different tenses when talking about events in the present and the future. Other languages(like German and Chinese)do not.(在书中，作者指出，有些语言(比如英语)要求你在谈论现在和将来的事件时使用不同的时态。其他语言(如德语和汉语)则没有。)”可知，语言是有不同特性的，所以划线词的意思是“特性、特点”。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Existing evidence suggests that people who speak languages whose grammar uses a different tense between present and future are less likely to make choices that benefit their future selves than people who speak languages that do not.(现有证据表明，与不说现在和将来时态的人相比，说语法在现在和将来之间使用不同时态的语言的人不太可能做出有利于未来自我的选择。)”可知，人们的决策会受到语言中使用的时态的影响。故选D项。

Healthy Eating
There is much debate nowadays as to what makes up a healthy diet. For example, scientists have insisted for years that a big enemy of health is fatty food. ____12____ People who receive 25% of their daily calories (热量)or more through sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease than people who receive less than 10% a day.
____13____ On average, people get 1/3 of their sugar through sweet drinks alone. You need to limit yourselves to less than 100-150 calories a day from sugar. In other words, if you want to be healthy, you have to cut down on desserts, and cut out sweet drinks altogether.
Beyond this, you can keep healthy by consuming different types of fresh foods, which are full of vitamins and fibre, rather than processed foods. It is also important to have some meat, beans, or dairy products in your diet. As with everything in life, moderation (适度)is key. ____14____
Finally, a key to healthy eating is to eat slowly. It takes about twenty minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to tell your body that you are full. ____15____ In addition, studies show that consistent eating habits, for example, taking three meals a day at the same time each day, are better for our health.
There is no one secret to healthy eating. ____16____One question you can ask yourself is, “Do I eat to live, or live to eat ” It is up to you to decide how you want to live, and to make the right decisions about your diet.
A. It starts with having a healthy attitude towards food.
B. Healthy foods help protect you against lots of diseases.
C. Processed foods often contain a large amount of sugar.
D. Much of extra sugar comes from sweets and sweet drinks.
E. What this means is that people who eat too quickly end up eating too much.
F. The ideal diet is a balanced one, without too much or too little of any one thing.
G. However, there is increasing evidence that the real driver of poor health is sugar.

【15题详解】
根据上文“Finally, a key to health y eating is to eat slowly. It takes about twenty minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to tell your body that you are full.”（最后，健康饮食的关键是慢慢吃。从你开始吃东西到你的大脑告诉你的身体你已经吃饱了大约需要20分钟。）可知，选项承接上文说明吃的太快会产生不好的影响。故E选项“这意味着吃得太快的人最终会吃得太多”切题。故选E项。
【16题详解】
根据下文“One question you can ask yourself is, “Do I eat to live, or live to eat ” It is up to you to decide how you want to live, and to make the right decisions about your diet.（你可以问自己一个问题:“我是为了活着而吃，还是为了吃而活着 ”这取决于你决定你想要如何生活，并对你的饮食做出正确的决定。）”可知，要对食物有个健康的态度。故A选项“以对食物有一个健康的态度开始”切题。故选A项。

第二部分 阅读（共三节，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When Laura Smith was 14 years old, she volunteered at a nonprofit food community organization. As she was filling bags with donated (捐赠) food, she noticed something that didn’t seem right: Canned and packaged goods were plentiful, but she saw nothing fresh or green to give to families in need. She thought it would be great to change that. She wanted to start a garden on part of her parents’ farmland to provide families with home-grown produce.
While being proud of her, Laura’s father expressed worry about the workload involved. Laura had raised rabbits and lambs before, but she had never tried growing vegetables on such an extensive level. However, he soon realized that his daughter was ready. Laura did a lot of research online to find out what worked and what didn’t, which plants needed shade, which needed more water, and when was the best time to harvest each crop.
In spring 2021 Laura planted 15 types of vegetables on a land of 5,000 square meters. When the first green shoots appeared, it was an exciting feeling. Yet, that’s where the real work began. “Our summers are very hot and dry, so I had to water every day,” said Laura. Throughout the summer, she checked her plants daily for weeds and watered them by hand, using two water tanks attached to a farm vehicle to continually refill her watering can.
Laura was soon ready to harvest and weigh her first crops-the first batch weighed 40 pounds. She then packaged them and donated the products to eight local groups. “It felt really good to know that anyone who wanted fresh vegetables could get them,” Laura said.
Over the past two years, Laura has donated more than 8,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables. “Laura’s confidence and generous hand in helping those in need have made a greater impact than she could have imagined,” said Remi Freeman, an official from one of the charity groups. “It helps our mission to end hunger, and also demonstrates the selflessness and kindness that is so wonderful to see in younger people.”
1 What inspired Laura to start a garden
A. Her interest in gardening.
B. Her parents’ expectations.
C. Lack of fresh produce in the donated food.
D. Poor quality of canned and packaged food.
2. What concerned Laura’s father about her plan at first
A. The money needed. B. The amount of work.
C. Her farming knowledge. D. Her working experience.
3. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Laura’s hard work. B. Laura’s ambitious plan.
C. The poor weather condition. D. The skills needed for farming.
4. What is the best title for the passage
A. A Great Gardening Dream
B. A Journey to Green Living
C. A Close Study on Organic Food
D. A Harvest of Growing Kindness
B
With growing awareness of the gender gap in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields, where women hold only 27% of jobs, Chinese researchers have explored a cause influencing women’s participation in STEM careers. They studied how teen girls can be influenced by their own peers who believe the inaccurate stereotype (刻板印象) that boys are better at math.
The study found that when surrounded by peers holding this stereotype, middle-school girls scored lower on math tests. This influence even persisted into college, impacting women’s math performance and self-confidence. The researchers suggest dealing with this issue during the middle school period to reduce the negative impact on women’s long-term STEM engagement.
Middle school is considered a critical developmental stage where teens are forming a stronger sense of self separate from their parents. This change often makes teens more likely to be influenced by the opinions of their peers. It’s also a period when, objectively measured by standardized tests, girls on average have better math skills than boys. However, teens may not realize it.
In some middle schools in China, the researchers studied the potential role of peer-pressure beliefs of the gendered math stereotype. In classrooms where the belief that “boys” natural ability in studying math is greater than that of girls” was significantly higher than the standard, girls’ later performance on math tests was lower than the results for boys. Moreover, girls in these classrooms were less likely to participate in math-related out-of-class activities. They were also less likely to feel that their teachers paid attention to them and offered praise, leading to lower math-related self-confidence.
The researchers conclude that preventing the harm from gender math stereotyping requires a change of the social environment for children and young adults, in addition to focusing on changing girls’ attitudes and choices.
5. What is the focus of the study
A. Inaccurate stereotype of STEM.
B. Women’s participation in STEM.
C. Teen girls’ academic performance.
D. Gender stereotype’s influence on girls.
6. What fact may teens ignore according to Paragraph 3
A Girls do better in math than boys.
B. Teens have strong self-confidence.
C. Teens are experiencing a key stage.
D. Girls are easily affected by their peers.
7. Girls in classrooms with higher levels of gender stereotype will probably ________.
A. score high in standardized tests
B. be often praised by math teachers
C. show low confidence in math tests
D. take an active part in school’s math club
C
A book called The Power of Language explores influences of speaking more than one language on the way people think and act.
Language plays a significant role in all aspects of human social and cognitive（认知的）life. People communicate with each other in a language. The language people speak also influences the way they think. These effects become even more complex when people speak more than one language.
If you speak more than one language, chances are you use them in different situations. You may speak one language at home and another at work. If you are asked to think about something fun in the language you speak at home, you are more likely to think of an event with your family, but when asked in the language you speak at work, you will think of an enjoyable interaction with colleagues.
The language used to answer the question makes it easier to think of memories associated with using that language. The memories you are reminded of in a situation affect what you are likely to do and even how you are likely to feel in that situation.
In addition, properties of the language can affect your decisions. In the book, the writer points out that some languages（like English）require you to use different tenses when talking about events in the present and the future. Other languages（like German and Chinese）do not. Existing evidence suggests that people who speak languages whose grammar uses a different tense between present and future are less likely to make choices that benefit their future selves than people who speak languages that do not. Consequently, the actions you take when speaking different languages can have very different influences on your future.
8. How does the writer explain the influence of language in Paragraph 3
A. By explaining facts. B. By giving examples.
C. By making statements. D. By sharing experiences.
9. What does the underlined word “properties” mean
A. Features. B. Types. C. Origins. D. Impacts.
10. What can we learn about people’s decision-making from the last paragraph
A. It is related to their mastery of grammar.
B. It is mainly based on personal expectations.
C. It is linked with the number of languages they use.
D. It can be affected by the tenses used in a language.
第二节 语句排序（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

B. Rucking involves walking with a weighted backpack. It’s an easy way to strengthen your heart and muscles without hurting the joints (关节).
