Ricky lived in a lovely, futuristic house, which had everything you could ever want. Though he didn’t help much around the house, Ricky was still very pleased when his parents bought him the latest model of robot. As soon as it arrived, off it went, cooking, cleaning, ironing, and—most importantly—gathering up clothes from Ricky’s bedroom floor. On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he had left his bedroom in a truly disastrous state. When he woke up the next morning, everything was perfectly clean and tidy.
In fact, it was actually “too” clean; now Ricky couldn’t find his favorite T-shirt, nor his favorite toy. However much he searched, the two things did not reappear. The same was starting to happen with other things. Ricky began to suspect the robot. He planned to spy on the robot, and began following it around the house. Finally he caught it on the spot, picking up one of Ricky’s toys to hide it.
Ricky told his parents that the robot was broken and badly programmed and asked them to have it changed. But his parents told him absolutely not; they were delighted with the new robot, and it cooked like a dream.
One day, the robot was whirring past, and heard the boy’s complaints. The robot returned with one of the boy’s toys, and some clothes for him.
“Here, sir. I did not know it was bothering you, ” said the robot.
“How could it not, you thief! You’ve been stealing my belongings for weeks!” the boy answered angrily.
“The objects were left on the floor. I therefore calculated that you did not like them. I am programmed to collect all that is not wanted, and at night I send it to people who can use it. I am a maximum efficiency machine. Were you unaware ” the robot said, with a certain pride.
Ricky started feeling ashamed. He understood that the robot was neither broken nor misprogrammed. Rather, it had been programmed extremely well!
Since then, Ricky has decided to become a “Maximum Efficiency Boy”, and put real care into how he treated his things. He kept them tidy, and made sure he didn’t have more than what was necessary. And, often, he would buy things, and take them along with his good friend, the robot, to help out those other people who needed them.

Fast food chains have tried for years to appeal to customers who care about their health. They have added lighter food to their menus, such as salads and yogurt. Of course, the lighter food goes with the usual burgers, fried chicken and shakes.
Menus have changed over the past three decades. According to a recent study, fast food menus are less healthy than they were 30 years ago. The study suggests the problem is getting worse. The fat, salt content and size of fast food meals are the problem. They are often the reason for the rising obesity (肥胖) rate among adults in the United States. The researchers found that the average main dish weighed more in 2016 than in 1986. It also had more calories and more sodium (钠). One expert said, “The restaurants have not done enough. The big picture is that there have been some positive changes, but they are small. Overall, the changes have gotten worse.”
The average fast food dessert had more calories in 2016. It also weighed more than the average fast food dessert thirty years earlier. Restaurants are counting on bigger sundaes and cookies to increase the amount spent on each order. For example, McDonald’s recently introduced “donut sticks” dusted with sugar. Six sticks have 280 calories. But you can also order 12 sticks for less than the cost of two single orders.
The researchers found that, over the 30 years, there were more calories in items like chips, soup, and French fries. Sodium content rose even though portion(一份) size did not grow much. When consumed together as a single meal, the study found that the average main dish and side order account for nearly 40 percent of a 2000-calory daily diet.
28. Why do fast food chains provide lighter food
A. To match the fast food. B. To reduce the cost of each meal.
C. To attract more customers. D. To improve the health of customers.
29. Why are more American adults getting fat
A. They have little time to exercise regularly.
B. They take in more calories from fast food.
C. They eat much more dessert after every meal.
D. They eat fast food more frequently than before.
30. What is the example of “donut sticks” for in paragraph 3
A.Showing the way of restaurants’ making cookies.
B. Presenting the popularity of restaurants’ new food.
C. Stressing the increase in restaurants’ food varieties.
D. Explaining the intention of restaurants’ adding dessert.
31. Which one could be the best title of the text
A. Fast Food Is Still Killing Us B. Don’t Eat Any Fast Food Now
C.Try to Eat More Lighter Food D. People Are Becoming Fatter and Fatter
D
A recent study has found that using wood for construction instead of concrete and steel can reduce emissions. But Tim Searchinger at Princeton University says many of these studies are based on the false foundation that harvesting wood is carbon neutral (碳中和). “Only a small percentage of the wood gets into a timber (木料) product, and a part of that gets into a timber product that can replace concrete and steel in a building,” he says. Efficiencies vary in different countries, but large amounts of a harvested tree are left to be divided into parts, used in short-lived products like paper or burned for energy, all of which generate emissions.
In a report for the World Resources Institute, Searchinger and his colleagues have modelled how using more wood for construction would affect emissions between 2010 and 2050, accounting for the emissions from harvesting the wood. They considered various types of forests and parts of wood going towards construction. They also factored in the emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel.
Under some circumstances, the researchers found significant emissions reductions. But each case required what they considered an unrealistically high portion of the wood going towards construction, as well as rapid growth only seen in warmer places, like Brazil. In general, they found a large increase in global demand for wood would probably lead to rising emissions for decades. Accounting for emissions in this way, the researchers reported in a related paper that increasing forest harvests between 2010 and 2050 would add emissions equal to roughly 10 percent of total annual emissions.
Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report’s conclusions about emissions from rising demand are probably correct, but the story is different for wood we already harvest. “Boosting the efficiency of current harvests and using more wood for longer lived purposes than paper would cut emissions,” he says. “We cannot just say we should stop using wood.”
32．What is wrong with previous researches according to Searchinger
A. They got wrong statistics. B. They included too many factors.
C. They used an incorrect concept. D. They were applied in limited countries.
33．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The process of the new research. B. The background of the new study.
C. The challenge of the new research. D. The achievements of the new study.
34．When will the emissions drop off greatly according to the new study
A. When wood grows slowly.
B. When wood is used to make paper.
C. When wood is used to build a house.
D. When wood is harvested in countries like Brazil.
35．What is Ali Amiri’s attitude toward the new result
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Objective.

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。
In my childhood, under the influence of my elder brother and my peers in the neighborhood, I tried a number of outdoor activities. Of course, I was not so taken by all of them. whether I was doing them for the first time or continuously. However, fate had its own plans in store. You never know when an outdoor activity will change my life.
The name of this activity is “fishing”. About ten years ago, I didn't really like the idea of sitting on the bank of a lake or river, spending long hours under the sun's ultraviolet rays, which can cause sunburns and skin damage, and anxiously anticipating some fish to be kind to take my bait(诱饵). In fact, I used to think of this outdoor activity as some kind of “hide-and-seek-game” that is popular with most young kids, except that it was much harder because I could see my “prey (猎物)” only after catching it.
However, all that changed when I paid a visit to my aunt in the countryside during a summer holiday. I was finally convinced by one of my cousins to accompany him to a nearby lake in order to do some fishing practice with him. In fact, he even assured me that fish would eat my baits. So I agreed and went to the lake expecting to catch some fish. Before throwing my fishing line into the water, my cousin did some tricks attaching some sort of food to my fishing pole.
Learning to fish in a river or lake can be challenging for the beginners like me. The act of dropping a line is easy, but being a successful fisher is hard. That's why they call it fishing but not catching. But with practice and patience, it can become easier over time. Patience is essential in lake fishing. It may take some time to find the right spot or lure (鱼饵) that will attract fish.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient.

推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Restaurants are counting on bigger sundaes and cookies to increase the amount spent on each order. For example, McDonald’s recently introduced ‘donut sticks’ dusted with sugar.(餐馆指望更大的圣代和饼干来增加每份订单的花费。例如，麦当劳最近推出了撒了糖的‘甜甜圈棒’。)”可知，文中首先说餐馆通过更大的圣代和饼干来增加每份订单的花费，接着提到麦当劳的“甜甜圈棒”的例子来支持这一说法。由此推知，这个例子是为了解释餐馆增加甜点的目的。故选D。
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“According to a recent study, fast food menus are less healthy than they were 30 years ago.(根据最近的一项研究，快餐菜单比30年前更不健康了)”可知，本文主要讲述了快餐店的食物比过去更加不健康，这对人的健康有害。由此可知，A项“快餐仍然在杀死我们”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。
【答案】32．C 33．A 34．C 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。新的研究表明，用木材建造的建筑可能并不像想象中的那么环保。
32.细节理解题。根据第一段“But Tim Searchinger at Princeton University says many of these studies are based on the false foundation that harvesting wood is carbon neutral (碳中和). (但普林斯顿大学的Tim Searchinger表示，这些研究中的许多都是基于一个错误的基础，即采伐木材是碳中和的)”可知，许多这样的研究都基于一个错误的概念，即采伐木材就是碳中和。故选C项。
33．主旨大意题。由第二段“In a report for the World Resources Institute, Searchinger and his colleagues have modelled how using more wood for construction would affect emissions between 2010 and 2050, accounting for the emissions from harvesting the wood. They considered various types of forests and parts of wood going towards construction. They also factored in the emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel.(在世界资源研究所的一份报告中，Searchinger和他的同事们模拟了2010年至2050年间，使用更多的木材进行建筑将如何影响排放，并考虑到了砍伐木材的排放量。他们考虑了各种类型的森林和用于建筑的部分木材。他们还考虑到了更换混凝土和钢材所节省的排放量)”可知，第二段主要介绍新研究的过程。故选A项。
34．细节理解题。根据第三段“Under some circumstances, the researchers found significant emissions reductions. But each case required what they considered an unrealistically high portion of the wood going towards construction, as well as rapid growth only seen in warmer places, like Brazil.(在某些情况下，研究人员发现了显著的减排。但每一种情况都需要他们认为不切实际的高比例木材用于建筑，以及只有在巴西等温暖地区才能看到的快速增长)”可知，用木材建造建筑会导致碳排放量显著减少，只是前提条件比较苛刻。故选C项。
35．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report’s conclusions about emissions from rising demand are probably correct, but the story is different for wood we already harvest. ‘Boosting the efficiency of current harvests and using more wood for longer lived purposes than paper would cut emissions,’ he says.‘We cannot just say we should stop using wood.’(芬兰阿尔托大学（Aalto University）的阿里·阿梅里（Ali Amiri）说，该报告关于需求增长导致的排放的结论可能是正确的，但我们已经收获的木材的情况不同。他说，提高当前收成的效率并将更多的木材用于比纸张更长久的用途将减少排放。我们不能只是说我们应该停止使用木材)”可知，Ali Amiri对此研究结果有一定的肯定性，但是他又表示我们不能说我们就应该停止使用木材。故他对此研究结果从正反两方面都进行了说明，其态度是客观公正的。故选D项。
【答案】36．C 37．F 38．D 39．A 40．G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些可以帮助年轻人提高效率，减轻压力的时间管理策略。
36．根据上文“Effective time management not only leads to increased productivity, but reduces stress. (有效的时间管理不仅能提高工作效率，还能减轻压力)”可知，通过介绍时间管理的好处，引出下文介绍时间管理的策略，因此空处应该承接上文，进一步阐述时间管理的好处，C选项“它也为个人发展创造了机会。”符合语境。故选C项。
37．根据上文“Setting clear and achievable short-term and long-term goals is essential for youth. (制定明确和可实现的短期和长期目标对青年至关重要)”可知，设定可实现的短期和长期目标是重要的，且本段末“By focusing on key tasks and minimizing time spent on unimportant ones, young adults can perfect their time management. (通过专注于关键任务，减少在不重要的事情上花费的时间，年轻人可以完善他们的时间管理)”表明要聚焦重要的任务，因此空处应对上文“设定目标”做进一步阐述，F选项“通过知道他们想要完成什么，他们可以优先考虑他们的任务。”承上启下，符合语境。故选F项。
38．根据下文“It makes efficient use of their time. Whether using a planner or a calendar app scheduling specific blocks of time for different activities, including study time, exercise, socializing, can lead to better time use. (它有效地利用了他们的时间。无论是使用计划器还是日历应用程序，为不同的活动安排特定的时间块，包括学习时间、锻炼时间、社交时间，都能让你更好地利用时间)”可知，本段主张制定每日计划可以帮助年轻人做事有条理，D选项“制定一个日常时间表有助于年轻人保持有序。”引出下文，符合语境。故选D项。
39．根据上文“By being selective about commitments, young adults can arrange their time and energy wisely. Saying no to non-essential activities frees up time for important tasks. (通过对承诺有选择性，年轻人可以明智地安排他们的时间和精力。把不重要的事情说不可以腾出时间去做重要的事情)”可知，拒绝不必要的事情可以空出时间去做重要的事，避免在不重要的事情上过度投入。A选项“这实际上可以防止过度承诺。”承接上文，符合题意，故选A项。
40．根据上文“Self-care plays a vital role in time management. (自我照顾在时间管理中起着至关重要的作用)”及下文“By ensuring they maintain a healthy work-life balance, young adults can recharge their energy levels, improve focus, and increase productivity. (通过确保他们保持健康的工作与生活平衡，年轻人可以补充他们的能量水平，提高注意力，提高效率)”可知，本段主张自我照顾是时间管理中的重要一环，空处应承上启下，强调年轻人应该保证充足的休息，提升健康水平、维持工作与生活的平衡。G选项“青年应该重视适当的休息和促进他们健康的活动。”符合语境。故选G项
【答案】范文
Leave-No-Trace Camping
Dear all,
In recent years, camping has become increasingly popular as a recreational activity. However, it has brought about various environmental and safety issues.
Improper disposal of trash pollutes the environment and harms wildlife. Additionally, campfires that are not properly extinguished can lead to wildfires and devastate ecosystems.
To address these problems and promote environmental conservation, I propose the following initiatives. Firstly, let’s make a conscious effort to pack out everything we bring in and properly dispose of garbage in waste bins. Secondly, to be cautious, ensuring campfires completely extinguished before leaving the site. In addition, you’re merciful to avoid disturbing animals’ habitats, and stay on appointed trails to minimize any potential damage to fragile vegetation.
Let us join hands in preserving environment while enjoying ourselves outdoors.

【答案】One possible version:
My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient. He taught me how to adjust my pole based on the movements of the fish and how to determine the best time to lift the pole when a fish was on the hook. Under his guidance, I calmed down gradually, staying focused to wait patiently. Then suddenly, I felt a jerk of my pole. A surge of thrill sweeping over me, I pulled the fishing pole out of water and I caught my first fish! So excited was I that I even gave a jump in the air. It was a small one, but it was a milestone for me!
When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish! Thrilled and fulfilled, I skipped all the way home with my cousin, telling him it was a pity that I had been missing out on so much by avoiding this simple outdoor activity before. Since then, I have become a passionate fisherman and love spending time outdoors, appreciating the simple pleasure of life.

Good evening, gentlemen and boys! Thank you for being here this evening. We’re here to congratulate the top achievers of this year. The boys here have worked hard in order to be a part of this ceremony.
Recognition of achievement can make us push ourselves and reach our full potential. The prizewinners are a true representation of everything that we value here at Hampton School. I have every confidence that you young men will be precisely the kind of young people who will make a positive difference to the country and the world. Your success will be built on being true to yourself. You should recognize your problems and doubts as well as your positive qualities. I remember listening to an interview with Andy Murray, one of the top tennis players in the world. After he was defeated in the first round of a tournament by a much lower ranked player, the media went crazy. However, Murray was straightforward and wise. “Nobody died here, “ he said, “I only lost a tennis match, nothing more. “ We are proud of our prizewinners today. They should be proud of themselves. But let’s be clear, if you link motivation to winning prizes in life, you set yourself up for disappointment. The greatest prize of all is that you can look yourself in the eye and say, “I tried my absolute best. “
