Beijing People’s Art Theater, arguably the most famous professional theater company in China, will present Teahouse by Lao She, which is the cornerstone of its repertory (剧目), as its New York City (NYC) appearance.
Teahouse will play at the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts in NYC from 27 Nov. 1 to Dec. this year. The production will be performed in Mandarin Chinese with simultaneous (同时的) English translation through headphones.
Teahouse is set in a typical, old Beijing teahouse and follows the lives of the owner and his customers through three stages in modern Chinese history, from approximately 1898 to 1948. It brings a cast of over sixty actors delivering their characteristic performance. Together, they reflected the changes in the then Chinese society through the Yutai Teahouse, a place where people from all walks of life came together.
The production in NYC will be the final stop of a U.S. tour that has also included performances in Houston and Los Angeles. As a well-received classic in its homeland, Teahouse is a must-see for everyone interested in contemporary Chinese literature, and anyone interested in catching a glimpse of the remarkable changes in modern China within two hours and thirty minutes.
Tickets are now available to purchase for the price of just $100 apiece (每人) at the booking office. You will enjoy a 5% discount off the price if you purchase through our website or app. For our local theatergoers who have bought our yearly plan, an extra 5% discount will also come your way.

I was sitting in between my parents on a 15-hour flight from Toronto to Seoul, where I was going to negotiate a book project. My Airbnb had enough room for us all. So when my parents brought it up as a half-joke that they would come, too, I didn’t think it was unreasonable.
I was merely 8 when we embarked on our immigration journey. Korea was their country. They wouldn’t need me there as they did in Canada. But the first week proved to be rough. We were upside down with the time change. My father announced that the first thing they wanted to do was visit my grandma’s grave (坟墓). We had discussed visiting a few relatives, but going to Grandma’s grave had never come up. It was starting: family obligations seized my work time. “You guys go,” I said.
While my father showered, my mother took me aside. “Your dad has always been counting the days for the moment when he can show her how well you grew up.” I laughed but I was deeply moved. So I decided to accompany them.
As we approached the graveyard, I gathered some colored wildflowers from the parking lot and tied them with a long piece of grass. My parents got busy weeding around the headstone. “Your name is on the back,” my father said. “See here ” I looked, and there was my Korean name carved beside those of my siblings and cousins. It felt odd to see our names on the headstone, all of us, the living and dead, connected. I saw a link in a chain that stretches generations back.
I didn’t know how to tell them that the trip was amazing. I realized how I was intertwined with them, and they were interwoven into me. We don’t belong to languages or countries. My grandma died only four months before we moved to Canada, when she was too frail (虚弱的) to make the trip. I hope she knows that we did take her, and that maybe all we have is each other.
24. What was the main reason for the author’s trip to Seoul
A. To visit Grandma’s graveyard. B. To have a family reunion.
C. To work on a project. D. To accompany his parents.
25. Why did the author initially decline to visit his grandma’s grave
A. He was exhausted from the flight. B. He had work commitments.
C. He liked visiting other relatives better. D. He preferred exploring alone.
26. Why did the author’s father want to take him to Grandma’s grave
A. To introduce the author to relatives. B. To fulfil a long-awaited wish.
C. To observe a family ceremony. D. To help with weeding.
27. What did the author realize during the trip
A. Never forget our home country. B. Family is a bridge to our future.
C. The world is one big family. D. Home is the bond with people.
C
Humans eat an astonishing amount of meat every year — some 800 billion pounds of it, enough flesh to fill roughly 28 million dump trucks. Our desire for meat, particularly in industrialized countries like the United States, is one reason why the planet is warming as fast as it is. Raising animals consumes a lot of land that could otherwise soak up carbon. Cows, sheep, and goats give out heat-trapping methane (甲烷). And to grow the corn, soy, and other plants that those animals eat, farmers spray fertilizer that emits nitrous oxide (一氧化二氮), another planet-warming gas.
Cutting out meat sounds like an effective approach. But what would happen if everyone actually stopped eating meat tomorrow Such a quick shift probably wouldn’t cause the sort of turmoil that would come if the planet immediately abandoned fossil fuels. But still, the consequence could be quite chaotic, causing different problems.
Researchers say the economic damage caused by the sudden disappearance of meat would fall disproportionately on low-income countries with farming economies, like Niger or Kenya, where farming and raising livestock are critical sources of income. Getting rid of livestock overnight would not only deprive many people of essential nutrients, but also threaten food security, especially in regions like South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Besides, there’s the issue of cultural damage. Taking away meat, according to Wilson Warren, a history professor at Western Michigan University, would do more than just deprive Americans of hot dogs and hamburgers and Italians of salami.
Rejecting meat entirely, let alone immediately, isn’t an ideal solution to the climate crisis. Dutkiewicz, a political economist at the Pratt Institute, suggested using guidelines established by the EAT-Lancet Commission, an international group of scientists who have designed a diet intended to give people the nutrients they need without destroying the planet.
28. What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A. Feeding animals costs more than growing plants.
B. The USA consumes the most meat annually.
C. Meat consumption may increase global warming.
D. Fertilizer should be banned around the world.
29. What does the underlined word “turmoil” mean in paragraph 2
A. Prediction. B. Disorder.
C. Pollution. D. Shortage.
30. Abandoning meat immediately might lead to ______.
A. the global crisis B. improved well-being
C. cultural diversity D. food safety issues
31. What might the author continue talking about
A. The declining meat industry. B. Specific diet suggestions.
C. Global climate crisis. D. Farmers’ protest.
D
One of the world’s greenest office buildings will formally open its doors this week. It’s a project of the environmentally progressive Bullitt Foundation. Its ambition is bold: to showcase an entirely self-sustaining office building hoping that others will create similar projects.
The first thing that strikes you about the new Bullitt Center is an emphasis on walking. “In a building this size, any place else in Seattle it would have two elevators. Here, the stairway is obvious and attractive,” says Denis Hayes, CEO of the foundation. He explains there is an elevator, but it’s well-hidden. The staircase encourages exercise and the concept helps cut down on energy use.
This is one of dozens of visionary decisions that went into this building. “It has eyes, ears, a nervous system and a brain and it responds to its environment in a way that seeks to optimize (优化) things,” he says. He points across the street to a mini weather station. It sends data to the building so it can decide what it should do to conserve energy.
“I think it’s fair to say we were all a bit skeptical in the beginning,” says Chris Rogers, the founder of a firm in cooperation with the foundation. Rogers and the others set out to meet the ambitious goals of the Living Building Challenge, a green building standard set by local architects.
Clearly this building is not for everyone. If you think of it as simply an office building, it was relatively pricey to design and build. But if you view it as a laboratory, an educational center and a bold effort to change how things are built, the calculation changes.
Still, one could wonder, is it possible to build more with similar self-sustaining features at a reasonable cost “If this building isn’t reproducible, then this experiment will have failed,” says Rogers. But if it is successful, he’s optimistic others will follow the foundation’s lead. Rogers points out that over the past couple of decades, many builders have been integrating green elements into their buildings.
32. What motivates the designers to highlight the stairway
A. To beautify the building. B. To offer convenience.
C. To hide the elevator. D. To conserve energy.
33. Which description best summarizes the Bullitt Center according to paragraph 3
A. A living organism. B. A first responder.
C. A brain system. D. A data base.
34. Which argument does Chris Rogers hold probably
A. It is reasonable to hold doubt in the building’s future.
B. The building has been inspired by previous efforts.
C. The reproduction of the building is crucial.
D. The building stands for a progressive force.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Look Inside The World’s Greenest Building.
B. The Outlook For Green Buildings Is Promising.
C. How Can We Build More Green Buildings
D. Will This Super Green Building Be Copied
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Those who consciously focus on each inhalation (吸气) and exhalation (呼气) could gain some impressive health benefits, especially for those that struggle with meditation (冥想).
A new controlled study among 108 participants (divided into two groups: breathing and meditation) found that over the course of a month, five minutes of daily breath techniques provided similar benefits to mood and anxiety as five minutes of meditation. 36 The study suggests breathing exercises may be a more “effective and powerful” mental health tool than meditation in the treatment of anxiety.
37 Those who spent five minutes working on their breath each day showed the most stress relief at the end of the month, with day-on-day improvements in their mental and physiological health.
What’s more, the study tested three different breathing techniques. 38 Participants who were asked to practice cyclic sighing — when exhalations are pronounced and prolonged — showed greater improvements than those who were asked to practice box breathing — when inhalation, a pause, and exhalation all match in duration — or cyclic hyperventilation (强力呼吸) — when inhalations are longer and exhalations are shorter.
Previous studies have shown that inhalations increase heart rate while exhalations decrease it. Perhaps that’s why cyclic sighing is so effective in relaxing the body and mind. Box breathing, on the other hand, is often used by military personnel to remain calm. 39
As humans, we never fully have control over our bodies. 40 Practicing a moment of control, even simply to sigh, could be just what the doctor ordered.
A. One of them seemed to perform the best.
B. That is a reality which shouldn’t go unnoticed.
C. Each of the techniques showed the same benefit.
D. Cyclic hyperventilation, on occasion, is used to relieve panic.
E. In fact, participants from the breathing group were even better off.
F. During the study, participants reported on their mood and vital signs.
G. There’s something about controlled breathing that seems to set it apart.

Chinese ancient civilisation has continued all the way through into modern times, despite the many ups and downs in 56 (it) history. There are many reasons why this has been possible. but one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system.

By the Shang Dynasty, these symbols 59 (become) a well-developed writing system. Over the years. the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when people were divided 60 (geographical), leading to many varieties of dialects and characters.

第二节 （满分25分）
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。
The school I went to had a tradition carried out every year during the eighth-grade graduation: a beautiful gold and green jacket (the school colors) was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grades for eight years.
I was fourteen and in the eighth grade. I had been a straight-A student since the first grade and this last year had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. My family was so poor that, when I was six, I was given to my grandparents to raise. I couldn’t participate in sports at school because we couldn’t afford the fees; even though I was quite athletic, there would never be a school sports jacket for me. So, this one, the scholarship jacket, was my only chance.
One day in May, close to graduation, outside the history teacher’s classroom, I heard a fierce argument between the principal and my history teacher, Mr. Frank, about giving the scholarship jacket to Joann, whose father is on the Board and owns the only store in town. Frank angrily claimed that he would never lie or falsify (伪造) records.
The principal approached me tentatively: “Martha, there’s been a change in policy this year. The Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars for the scholarship jacket this year. So if you are unable to pay the fifteen dollars for the jacket it will be given to the next one in line.” Staring at him in shock, I didn’t need to ask who that was.
“I’ll speak to my grandfather and let you know tomorrow,” I gathered all the dignity. I cried on the walk home from the bus stop. I wanted that jacket so much. It represented eight years of hard work and expectation.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Upon arriving home, I told my grandpa what had happened. The next day, the principal called me to his office.
参考答案及解析
第一部分 听力
1-5 BCBCA 6-10 BCBBC 11-15 CACCA 16-20 BACAB
第二部分 阅读
第一节
A
本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了中国最著名的专业剧院之一——北京人民艺术剧院将在纽约市上演老舍的经典剧目《茶馆》。
21. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It brings a cast of over sixty actors delivering their characteristic performance. Together, they reflected the changes in the then Chinese society through the Yutai Teahouse”（它汇集六十多个演员献上了有特色的表演。他们一起通过裕泰茶馆折射了当时中国社会的变化）”可知，观众可以欣赏到有特色的集体表演。故选B。
22. C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Teahouse is a must-see for everyone interested in contemporary Chinese literature, and anyone interested in catching a glimpse of the remarkable changes in modern China（对所有对中国当代文学感兴趣的人和任何有兴趣一睹现代中国发生的巨大变化的人来说，《茶馆》都是必看的戏剧）”可知，最适合观看这部戏的人应是对中国感兴趣的人，即“China enthusiasts”。故选C。
23. B 细节理解题。根据第五段“Tickets are now available to purchase for the price of just $100 apiece (每人) at the booking office. You will enjoy a 5% discount off the price if you purchase through our website or app. For our local theatergoers who have bought our yearly plan, an extra 5% discount will also come your way.（现在可以在售票处以每张100美元的价格购买门票。如果您通过我们的网站或应用程序购买，您将享受5%的折扣。对于购买了我们年度计划的本地戏迷，您还可以享受额外5%的折扣。）”可知，一个外地游客在线上购买门票，应该是只享受5%的折扣，那么买两张票的花费就是：100×95%×2=190（美元）。故选B。
B
本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了作者陪同父母从多伦多飞往首尔期间，因家庭义务而意外陪同父亲祭拜奶奶的经历。这次旅行让作者深刻感受到与家人的紧密联系，并意识到无论身处何地，家人之间的纽带都是无法割舍的。
24. C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“... where I was going to negotiate a book project.”可知，作者此行去韩国是要去协商一个图书项目。故选C。
25. B 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“It was starting: family obligations seized my work time.”可知，家庭责任会占据作者的工作时间。故选B。
26. B 细节理解题。根据第三段母亲对作者所说的话“Your dad has always been counting the days for the moment when he can show her how well you grew up.”可知，父亲一直都盼望着能带作者去奶奶的坟墓，向奶奶展现作者的成长。故选B。
27. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三句“I realized how I was intertwined with them, and they were interwoven into me. We don’t belong to languages or countries.”可知，作者通过拜访奶奶的墓地，意识到了他与父母之间的联结，即人与人之间的联系（connection）。最后一段最后一句“I hope she knows that we did take her, and that maybe all we have is each other.”也表现出虽然奶奶没有一同移民加拿大，但仍然心中有彼此。故选D。
C
本文是一篇说明文。文章指出人类每年消耗大量肉类加剧了地球变暖，并探讨了突然停止吃肉可能带来的经济、文化和食品安全问题。
28. C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Our desire for meat, particularly in industrialized countries like the United States, is one reason why the planet is warming as fast as it is.”及“And to grow the corn, soy, and other plants that those animals eat, farmers spray fertilizer that emits nitrous oxide (一氧化二氮), another planet-warming gas.”可知，我们对肉的需求是地球变暖速度如此之快的原因之一。为了种植这些动物吃的玉米、大豆和其他植物，农民喷洒肥料，释放出另一种使地球变暖的气体——一氧化二氮。人类对于肉的大量需求是造成全球变暖的一个原因。故选C。
29. B 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Such a quick shift probably wouldn’t cause the sort of turmoil that would come if the planet immediately abandoned fossil fuels. But still, the consequence could be quite chaotic, causing different problems.”尤其是“But still”的逻辑关系可推出，立刻摒弃肉食也许并不会像立即放弃化石燃料一样引起动荡，但是其后果依然混乱，会造成不同的问题。由此可推知，turmoil意为“混乱；动荡”，和disorder词义最接近。故选B。
30. D 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，立刻摒弃肉食会引起经济衰退，造成人类营养不良，危害食品安全，甚至损坏文化。故选D。
31. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Dutkiewicz, a political economist at the Pratt Institute, suggested using guidelines established by the EAT-Lancet Commission, an international group of scientists who have designed a diet intended to give people the nutrients they need without destroying the planet.”可知，普拉特研究所的政治经济学家杜特凯维奇（Dutkiewicz）建议使用EAT-Lancet Commission制定的指导方针，该委员会是一个国际科学家小组，他们设计了一种饮食，旨在为人们提供所需的营养，而不会破坏地球。由此可推知，下文应该进一步阐述此饮食结构。故选B。
D
本文是一篇说明文。文章描述了由环保先锋Bullitt Foundation打造的世界上最环保的办公建筑之一。其目标是展示一个完全自给自足的办公建筑，鼓励其他人创建类似项目。
32. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The staircase encourages exercise and the concept helps cut down on energy use.”可知，设计师对该栋建筑中楼梯的设计，是出于鼓励锻炼和减少能源消耗的目的。故选D。
33. A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It has eyes, ears, a nervous system and a brain and it responds to its environment in a way that seeks to optimize (优化) things（它有眼睛、耳朵、神经系统和大脑，并以一种寻求优化事物的方式对环境做出反应）”可知，该栋建筑就仿佛是一个活的有机体一样。故选A。
34. C 推理判断题。首先需要定位Chris Rogers的观点是来自第四段和第六段，第五段是属于作者的观点，因此可以排除D选项（该栋建筑代表着进步的力量）；其次基于第六段中的“If this building isn’t reproducible, then this experiment will have failed（如果这栋大楼不能被复制，则此实验将失败）”以及“But if it is successful, he’s optimistic others will follow the foundation’s lead.（但如果成功，他乐观地认为其他人会效仿基金会的做法）”可知，该栋环保建筑的复制推广是至关重要的。故选C。
35. D 标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章通过介绍西雅图一栋超级环保的新建筑的相关特色，从而提出潜在的质疑和探讨未来类似环保建筑的发展前景。D项最具概括性，可以统摄全文。C选项是干扰项，本文并没有谈及如何建设更多的环保建筑。故选D。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了呼吸训练可能会给人带来一些健康益处，并就此展开论证。
36. E 空前说“一项针对108名参与者进行的新的对照研究（分为两组：呼吸和冥想）发现，在一个月的时间里，每天五分钟的呼吸技巧训练和五分钟的冥想一样提供了情绪和焦虑方面的益处”。空后说“这项研究表明，在焦虑治疗中，相比冥想，呼吸练习可能是更为‘有效和有力’的心理健康工具”。因此，E项“事实上，来自呼吸训练组的参与者甚至表现更好。”承上启下，符合语境。
37. F 空后说“每天花五分钟练习呼吸的人在月底显示出最明显的减压效果，他们的心理和生理健康每天都有所改善”，这里给出了研究的发现。因此，F项“在研究过程中，参与者汇报了他们的情绪和生命体征。”介绍了研究过程，引出下文，符合语境。且F项中的“mood and vital signs”与文中的“mental and physiological health”相呼应。
38. A 空前说“此外，这项研究测试了三种不同的呼吸技巧”。空后说“被要求练习循环叹息的参与者与那些被要求练习箱式呼吸或循环强吸的参与者相比表现出有更大的改善。其中，循环叹息是指呼气明显延长；箱式呼吸是指吸气、停顿和呼气持续时间相等；循环强吸是指吸气时间较长而呼气时间较短”。因此，A项“其中一种方法似乎表现最佳。”引出下文，符合语境。
39. D 空前说“也许这就是为什么循环叹息在放松身心方面如此有效。另一方面，箱式呼吸经常被军事人员用来保持冷静”。因此，D项“有时，循环强吸被用来缓解恐慌。”承接上文，给出了第三种呼吸技巧的用途，符合语境。
40. B 空前说“作为人类，我们从未完全控制我们的身体”。空后说“即使只是练习一瞬间的控制，甚至只是轻轻叹息，可能正是医生开的良方”。因此，B项“这是一个不应被忽视的现实。”承上启下，符合语境。且B项中的“that”指代空前“As humans, we never fully have control over our bodies.”。

第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文：
What do you want to do most with AI
We have entered a world where everyone is expected to engage with AI. As a high school student, what I want to do most with AI is to use it to facilitate my learning process in various subjects.
AI acts as a database of vast amounts of information, allowing me to develop my creative writing skills simply by providing a prompt. In fact, the accuracy rate of AI is far from perfect, which leaves room for further exploration. In other words, I can assess the AI-generated results through self-reflection and peer discussion.
Whether you like it or not, AI is here to stay. It’s important not to rely on AI alone, but to use its capabilities for the benefit of our educational journey.

参考范文：
Upon arriving home, I told my grandpa what had happened. He cleared his throat and asked seriously, “What does a scholarship jacket mean ” I tried to convey what it meant by describing its symbolic meaning and expressing how much I loved it. Grandpa’s response, however, was a firm refusal. “Then if you pay for it, Martha, it’s not a scholarship jacket, is it Tell your principal I will not pay the fifteen dollars.” Disappointed and upset, I hurried to my room where I locked myself in and cried for a long time.
The next day, the principal called me to his office. When I came in, he smiled at me, which I didn’t expect to see, and said, “Martha, the jacket is yours for free. Congratulations! I also owe you an apology. As your grandpa mentioned, the green jacket should rightfully belong to the student with the highest grades for 8 years.” Lost in thought, I couldn’t recall leaving the office, as my mind replayed the scenes of my grandpa’s confrontation with the principal. Each time I wore the jacket, a deep sense of respect for my grandpa welled up within me. Fairness is worth more than honour!

W: I didn’t know you had experience in rock climbing. Wasn’t it dangerous

M: I remember reading that the average trip takes about six hours to climb up, and about the same to climb down. We took our time to be careful, though. I think we spent about 15 hours up there. I needed to stop many times for a break. I was an annoying customer for that guide.

M: The old belief that foods rich in fat are bad for your health has come into question. The Atkins diet, a popular eating plan developed by Robert Atkins, says the real reason for making people fat is carbs, the substances that provide your body with heat and energy. The Atkins diet has several stages of weight loss and maintenance, starting with a low-carb eating plan. It doesn’t require you to control the amount of food you have each meal. It holds that eating too many carbs, especially sugar, leads to blood sugar imbalances, weight gain and other problems. The main dietary focus of the Atkins diet is keeping the balance between carbs, protein and fats for weight loss and health. So you don’t need to avoid fatty cuts of meat — rather controlling carbs is what’s important. Significantly, cutting carbs sharply in the early stage can result in some side effects like headaches and weakness. You’d better consult your doctor before starting the diet. People who suffer from ill health should not follow the diet, and this diet is also not suitable for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
