Culinary herbs are fragrant plants which are fit to eat and used in small amounts to add flavor to dishes. Most herbs are found in food and also have medicinal uses. There are four herbs for you.
Curry leaves The curry tree is native to India and Sri Lanka. The leaves are dark green and shiny, releasing a pleasant nut-like scent when they are fried in oil. They are a main component of South Indian cuisine, used in the same way as bay leaves are in Western cuisines.
Shiso Shiso is a Japanese herb with a unique flavor, whose green leaves are often used as a garnish(装饰) for traditional Japanese dishes. Whether red or green,it can be used in various other ways: mixed into salads, put into green tea, or added to stir-fries.
Basil Basil has shiny, deep green, pointed leaves and a sweet-and-savory flavor, which is used in both fresh and dried forms to flavor dishes ranging from Italian sauces to meat dishes to Asian curries. When cooking, add it towards the end to maintain flavor.
Mint Mint has a delicately sweet flavor and creates a distinct cooling feeling due to the menthol(薄荷醇) in the herb. Used for cooking and a variety of medicinal purposes, mint has soft bright green leaves that are commonly used in drinks like mint tea,as well as dishes like Vietnamese pho and Thai stir-fries. While dried mint is used in tea making, fresh mint is the preferred form of the herb for cooking.

A. They are only native to Sri Lanka.
C. They smell pleasant, like fried nuts.
B. They enjoy great popularity among Westerners.
D. They play an important role in South Indian cuisine.

I first saw the earth-the whole earth from the shuttle Challenger in 1984. The view takes your breath away and fills you with childlike wonder. That's why every shuttle crew has to clean nose-prints off their spacecraft's windows several times a day.
An incredibly beautiful tapestry (织锦) of blue and white, tan, black and green seems to glide beneath you at an elegant, stately pace. But you are actually going so fast that the entire map of the world spins before your eye with each 90-minute orbit. After just one or two laps, you feel, maybe for the first time like a citizen of a planet.
All the colors and patterns you see - the visible evidence of the complex working of the natural systems that make our planet habitable - seem both vast and precise, powerful and yet somehow fragile.
You see volcanoes spewing smoke, hurricanes roiling the oceans and even fine tendrils’ of Saharan dust reaching across the Atlantic.
You also see the big, gray smudges of fields, paddies and pastures, and at night you marvel at the lights, like brilliant diamonds, that reveal a mosaic of cities, roads and coastlines-impressive signs of the hand of humanity. Scientists tell us that our hand is heavy, that we are wiping out of other species at an unprecedented rate and probably transforming our climate.
Will the immense power of global systems withstand the impact of humanity Or is it possible that our collective actions will change the nature of our planet enough to cripple its ability to support life
I no longer believe that we can wait for all the scientific data needed to answer these questions conclusively. We must recognize immediately what it means to be citizens of this planet
It means accepting the obligation to be the stewards of the earth's life-giving capacities. As homeowners, we wouldn't neglect or damage our houses until they weren't fit to live in. Why would we do that with our planet
24.What does the writer want to express in Paragraph 1
A. They feel scared flying in the out-space. C. They are awed by the view of the earth.
B. They are homesick in the space shuttle. D. They feel excited to explore the universe.
25. What's the main function of Paragraph 3
A. Setting the stage for further discussion.
B. Summarizing the main idea of the text.
C. Providing data for the writer’s argument.
D. Introducing different ideas on human impact.
26. According to the last paragraph, which of the following statements does the writer agree with
A. It's not clear what humans can do to nature.
B. The earth is strong enough to support more lives.
C. Human beings are not the only creature of the earth.
D. We must act now to take care of nature before it's too late.
27. What is the best title of the text
A. Flying to the Future B. Going Green with Our Earth
C. A Glimpse of Home D. My Experience as an Astronaut
C
Eating a plant-based diet has been shown to be very good for your heart and your overall health. In fact, a recent study found a young person could live an additional 13 years by eating more vegetables and legumes (豆类), as well as whole grains, fruit and nuts.
Which makes the findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400.000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition rather shocking: Eating veggies, especially cooked ones, doesn't reduce your risk of heart disease over time.
“Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CV(cardiovascular disease)," said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement.
While the study found eating raw veggies could protect against heart disease, cooked vegetables did not. Any benefit went away when researchers factored in lifestyle factors such as physical activity, educational level, smoking, drinking, fruit intake, red and processed meat consumption, and use of mineral and vitamin supplements.
“Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be accounted for by bias (偏差)…related to differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,”Feng said.
Don't start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly took exception to the study's conclusion.
“Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn't associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn't mean we should stop eating vegetables," said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement.
“The results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e.g.vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect," Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at Tufts University's Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told CNN in an email.
“One thing that has become clear over the past decade is we should not be looking at single foods or nutrients rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein.
28.What can we learn from the new study led by Feng
A. It followed a young UK person for 13 years.
B. Its findings came as no surprise to other people.
C. It overturned the conclusion of previous studies.
D. Its purpose was to find the right vegetables for people.
29. What did Feng imply about vegetables’ protective effect
A. It was totally made up by some researchers.
B. It still held true despite some different findings.
C. It could only be achieved by living a healthy lifestyle.
D. It was a misconception caused by differences in people
30. Which of following is closest in meaning to underlined phrase “'take exception to”
A. Voice objections to. B. Add details to.
C. Display ignorance of. D. Take notice of.
31. What did Lichtenstein think of the study
A. It was groundbreaking. B. It was one-sided.
C. It would cause confusion. D. It needed more evidence.
D
Many people have wondered why children believe in things like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, thinking that children's minds are easily fooled, However, developmental psychology offers a different perspective.
A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way of checking, known as the“empirical stance," is evident by the time children reach elementary school.
The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently-sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children's choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult's claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.
Initially, children seemed to trust the adult's word, with only a small percentage insisting on their original belief. However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls. This exploration allowed them to generate evidence that could contradict the adult's claim.
These findings suggest that while children are willing to trust an adult's surprising claims, their acceptance is temporary. By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs.
The study's implications extend beyond childhood. Most adults accept complex concepts, such as the existence of electrons, based on the testimony (证词) of others rather than personal experience.
So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.
32. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The methodology of the study. C. The significance of the study.
B. The conclusion of the study. D. The theoretical basis of the study
33. Which child's response matches the empirical stance
A. Taylor believes what the teacher says no matter what.
B. Jordan thinks the earth is flat because his father says so.
C. Emma assumes the watermelon is sweet and then tastes it.
D. Maya suspects there are monsters living in trees as the story says.
34.What lesson could adults learn from children
A. Rejecting complex concepts. C. Learning from their own experience
B. Never trusting anyone. D. Counting on others’ testimony.
35. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To highlight the importance of adult's role in children's education and growth.
B. To advocate for a more empirical approach to belief formation across all ages.
C. To clarify a misunderstanding about elementary school students’ learning ability.
D. To persuade adults to help children rid themselves of wrong ideas about the world.

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。
“We’ve got this,” my friend Alex laughed loudly as we stepped off the library steps. “Absolutely, we’ve got this,” I agreed, performing a little victory dance on the sidewalk once the library door had closed behind us. We had both been nominated (提名) for the Youth Excellence Program, an honor and a chance almost every student was crazy about.
That weekend, Alex and I sat in my living room, carefully completing the program application. We each aimed to show we had all qualities the program valued: academic excellence, leadership, community service, integrity, and civic responsibility. I detailed my devotion to challenging courses, while Alex described his volunteer work at the local food bank. We left no stone unturned, fully confident in our joint success.
The following day, we submitted our applications to the teacher hopefully.
Weeks passed.
Then one day, I received a letter about the project. I rushed out of the classroom and opened it. I felt a stab of sadness right in my heart: my name was not on the list.
At that very moment, I saw Alex came jogging over, waving his letter with a beaming smile. It was clear he had news that contrasted with my own. Without hesitation, I turned away to avoid him. I knew he was eager to share his joy. Perhaps, he even had planned to celebrate the good news together with me.
But I just couldn’t face it: they picked him but refused me. How could fate be so unjust Anger and despair just blinded me. I
That afternoon, on the school bus, I sat alone and avoided eye contact with Alex. When the bus arrived at my street, I just jumped off, without saying goodbye or smiling to him. I hurried home, thrusting (塞) the letter into my mom’s hands. I buried my face in the cushions, sobbing uncontrollably as waves of heartache swept over me.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: From that day on, I didn’t talk to Alex.

Dear Paul,
I’m Li Hua from Class 3. I appreciate your innovative approach to teaching English through movies. However, I feel compelled to share some concerns and suggestions regarding this method.
While watching English movies is beneficial in understanding cultural contexts, some of us find it challenging to keep up with the natural speed of conversation in movies. Additionally, this approach may not sufficiently cover other essential aspects of language learning, such as grammar, vocabulary building, and speaking practice. I suggest integrating more teaching methods, like vocabulary drills, grammar exercises, and speaking activities, possibly related to the movies we watch.
I genuinely hope you consider these suggestions. I am looking forward to more productive and interactive English classes that cater to the different learning styles of all students.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
参考范文：
From that day on, I didn’t talk to Alex. Each day at school, I navigated the hallways with a new route, avoiding the places he frequented. The shared excitement that once connected us was replaced by a painful silence. Alex tried to do something to mend it. One day, he even left me a note, trying to comfort me. But I looked at him coldly, “Leave me alone.” I knew I was hurting him, but the sting of rejection was too fresh, and I couldn’t find the words to bridge the gap.
Finally, Mom talked with me, saying Alex wasn’t the one to blame.She reminded me that success and failure were parts of life’s journey. “You should have congratulated your friend on this instead of feeling pitiful for yourself,” she said seriously. It suddenly struck me that how unfairly I treated Alex. Seized by guilt, I followed mom’s advice and left Alex a note, expressing my feelings—not as an apology, but as a step towards healing and rebuilding our bond. It was time to face my fears and embrace the reality that our friendship could weather this storm.

M: Tom is trying to find his place in the world as a hero. He wants to find his community and step into his fullest potential.

So, I don't have to dig too deep into my life to relate to Tom. And Tom is really good at trying to stay positive when situations are difficult. He uses his wits and a sense of humor to overcome hardships. (14) Those are the things I can definitely relate to. In the beginning, Tom tries to deal with a lot of his obstacles with force. But later he learns to use his head a bit more. (14) That's something that I've developed as I'm getting older.
W: What's the most valuable message you want kids to gain from this movie (15)
M: Don't be afraid to lean on the people that you love for support, if you need it. There's so much value and so much power in the community and family. (15)
