第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分 50 分)
第一节(共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 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
This is the season for spending, or so it seems, as we look ahead to the end-of-year holidays
and start shelling out money left and right for decorations, presents, food, and on and on. To keep
more of your money in your pocket, follow these dos and don’ts.
Do consider joining a membership program.
Programs from Amazon, Walmart and others can get you more than discounts and rewards.
Membership also gets you fast, free deliveries on other qualifying orders with no minimums, plus
other perks.
Do buy low.
Price trackers help you time your purchases so you can pounce (抓住机会) when prices hit
rock bottom or close to it. At the very least, these tools can give you pricing information so you’ll
know a good deal when you see it.
Don’t fall for fake reviews.
Review fraud is rampant (猖獗 ), and it could get a lot harder to spot fake user reviews,
thanks to the growing use of artificial intelligence. Two tools that can help you shop smarter with
user reviews are Fakespot and ReviewMeta, which rate product ratings. Both sites also tease out
trustworthy comments to help you find relevant and insightful product information.
Don’t put off those payments.
“Buy now, pay later” (BNPL) options are advocated by companies like Affirm and Afterpay.
You can pay in installments (分期付款), and you don’t have to wait to get your goodies. But there
is a big downside: If you’re struggling with debt, BNPL payments can dig your hole deeper,
ending up raising your interest rates on mortgage and car loans.
21. What additional benefits can membership programs offer
A. Free fast deliveries with no minimums.
B. Exclusive early access to new products.
C. Personalized shopping recommendations.
D. Guaranteed rock bottom prices of all items.
22. How can consumers identify fake reviews more effectively
A. Checking for purchase labels on reviews.
B. Using price trackers to analyze review trends.
C. Joining loyalty programs for authentic reviews
D. Applying tools like Fakespot and ReviewMeta.
23. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To promote membership programs
B. To warn consumers of unstable prices
C. To provide shopping tips on money saving.
D. To discourage customers from shopping online.
B
Li Ziqi, a 33-year-old Sichuanese YouTuber, has fascinated millions with her videos
showcasing traditional farming, cooking, and craftsmanship. Her channel, recognized by Guinness
World Records as the most popular Chinese-language channel on YouTube, offers a glimpse into a
peaceful and leisurely pastoral (田园的) life.
Li’s videos often feature her performing tasks like harvesting soybeans, making tofu from
scratch, and constructing furniture from bamboo. Her careful attention to detail and
resourcefulness are impressive, as she creates everything from clothing to tools using traditional
methods. However, her videos are more than just demonstrations of skills; they offer a soothing
escape from the chaos of modern life.
Li’s videos are filled with peaceful images of nature, playful animals, and heartfelt moments
shared with her grandmother. This idealized portrayal of rural living resonated deeply with
viewers, particularly during the pandemic when the world felt chaotic and uncertain. By 2021, Li
had over 14 million YouTube followers, making her the most successful Chinese-language
YouTuber.
Despite her popularity, Li remains a mysterious figure. She rarely grants interviews and
reveals little about her personal life. Most information available about her comes from interviews
with Chinese state media or government-attached websites. According to these sources, Li grew
up in rural Sichuan and learned traditional cooking from her grandfather. She left school at 14 and
worked various jobs before returning to her hometown to care for her ill grandmother in 2012.
Li’s decision to share her rural life online was initially driven by the desire to promote her
online store. However, her videos quickly gained a following due to their unique content and
soothing aesthetic (美感 ). The world Li creates in her videos, along with her story, provides
viewers with a much-needed retreat to a simpler and more meaningful way of living.
24. Which of the following best describes the atmosphere in Li Ziqi’s videos
A. Chaotic and fast-paced. B. Humorous and carefree.
C. Peaceful and comforting. D. Educational and aggressive.
25. What can we learn about Li Ziqi’s personal life
A. She involves herself actively in a variety of interviews
B. She values privacy and hardly reveals her personal life
C. She gains great popularity among viewers due to her mystery.
D. She becomes the most successful influencer on the social media
26. What was the initial motivation for Li Ziqi to start sharing her videos online
A. To promote her own online store.
B. To escape the chaos of modern life.
C. To showcase her skills and resources.
D. To promote traditional Chinese culture.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Li Ziqi’s online cooking display
B. Li Ziqi’s online pastoral poetics.
C. Li Ziqi’s virtual show of local scenery.
D. Li Ziqi’s digital diary of rural development.
C
Cutting back on animal protein in our diets can save on resources and greenhouse gas
emissions. But convincing meat-loving consumers to switch up their menu is a challenge. Looking
at this problem from a mechanical engineering angle, Stanford engineers are pioneering a new
approach to food texture (口感) testing that could make plant-based meats taste and feel like real
meat.
Led by Ellen Kuhl, professor of mechanical engineering and senior author of the study, the
Stanford team ran a three-dimensional food test. They tested eight types of food, such as hot dogs,
turkey, sausages and so on, each including both animal-based and plant-based options. They
mounted bits of meat into a machine that pulled, pushed, and cut on the samples. “These three
loading modes represent what you do when you chew,” said Kuhl.
Then, they used machine learning to process the data from these tests: They designed a new
type of neural network that takes the raw data from the tests and produces equations (方程) that
explain the qualities of the meats. To see if these equations can explain the perception of texture,
the team carried out a test survey. The testers — who first completed surveys on their openness to
new foods and their attachment to meat — ate samples of the eight products and rated them for 12
categories, such as soft, hard, and meat-like.
In the mechanical testing, the plant-based hot dog and sausage behaved very similarly to their
animal counterparts ( 对 应 物 ) in the tests, and showed similar hardness. Meanwhile, the
plant-based turkey was twice as hard as animal turkey. Strikingly, the human testers also ranked
the hardness of the hot dogs and sausages very similarly to the mechanical tests. “What’s really
cool is that the ranking of the people was almost identical to the ranking of the machine,” said
Kuhl.
The findings suggest that new, data-driven methods hold promise for speeding up the process
of developing tasty plant-based products. “Hopefully, we could use generative artificial
intelligence to scientifically generate recipes for plant-based meat products with precisely desired
properties,” the authors wrote in the paper.
28. How was the Stanford team’s first food test carried out
A. By analyzing human chewing behavior.
B. By copying the motions of human chewing.
C. By comparing the softness of various foods.
D. By processing data collected from human testers.
29．Why did the researchers use machine learning in their study
A. To identify food texture categories.
B. To design plant-based meat recipes.
C. To generate equations for food properties.
D. To replace human evaluations with machines.
30．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The outcome of the test. B. The final step of the test.
C. The evaluation of the test. D. The practical use of the test.
31．What is the paper authors’ attitude to the finding of the test
A. Uncertain. B. Indifferent. C. Careful. D. Optimistic.
D
When I looked at the Pennington Day dog show’s Look-Alike Contest in suburban New Jersey
in the mid-1990s, I had all the confidence of a young girl assured of victory. After all, her puppy
had long, floppy ears that perfectly matched her wavy, blond bob.
Turns out, there is actual science to back up the stereotype (模式化观念) that dogs look like
their owners. A recent review of 15 studies from around the globe suggests that not only people
and their pets look and act similarly, but that the similarities between their personalities deepen
over time.
In many of the studies, scientists asked study volunteers to match pictures of dogs and their
owners, which they did better than they would just by chance. Another found that women often
had hair of a similar length to the dogs’ ears. So what gives Experts suspect people choose dogs
that look like them or reflect them in some way.
The review also showed that dogs and owners have similar personality characteristics,
especially extroversion and neuroticism, and that their temperaments (性情 ) appeared to grow
more alike. The study offers different theories for why, including that owners may be drawn to
dogs that are like them to begin with, and as they age together, the two species may regulate each
other’s emotions, reinforce each other’s behavior, or learn together.
“It resembles (像) the way we also look for our partners,” says study leader Yana Bender, a
doctoral researcher in the DogStudies Research Group in Germany. Dogs and their owners share
“a very close relationship...comparable to many human relationships.”
Authors of the review also noted that the number of dogs and owners included in the studies
are relatively small. Many of the owners who volunteered to participate in the studies also had
purebred dogs, and scientists need more data on hybrid dogs, which are more common worldwide.
Additionally, owner bias plays a role: Without a standardized way to assess dogs’ personalities,
scientists must ask people to evaluate their own pets, who can be as hard to think about objectively
as your human family.
32. Why does the author mention the Look-Alike Contest in the first paragraph
A. To lead in the topic. B. To introduce the contest.
C. To give an example. D. To explain the background.
33. What can be inferred from the text
A. People and their pets have similar hairstyles.
B. People and their pets mirror each other to some extent.
C. Dogs and their partners share a very close relationship.
D. The similarities between dogs and owners weaken over time.
34. What do we know about dogs and owners in paragraph 4
A. They share the same personality characteristics.
B. They resemble in appearance and age.
C. The dogs may be attracted by owners who look like them.
D. They influence each other in terms of behavior and emotion.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The background of the research. B. The focus of the research.
C. The limitations of the research. D. The prospect of the research.

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。
Every Sunday, the competition started. The three of us would set our alarm clocks to wake up
earlier than anyone else. I had set my alarm clock to six in the morning, hoping that my brothers
wouldn’t start before me.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Groaning, I reached over to my nightstand and slapped the top of my
alarm clock. “Too early on this cold winter day,” I murmured. I curled back into my warm blanket
and fell asleep again.
My eyes blinked open to the whirring sound of the vacuum cleaner. “They chose their chores
first!” I thought with despair. I jumped up from my bed and rushed to the bathroom, where I
started the only chore that was left for me. I would definitely be shoveling (铲) the driveway while
they built an igloo (冰屋) , I thought cheerlessly, rubbing and wiping madly at the toilet bowl.
When I finished cleaning the toilet and sink, my brothers came into the bathroom to watch
me clean the bathtub as they mocked me about how I’d overslept and got stuck with the longest
chore. “Whoever finishes last has to shovel the driveway, remember ” my older brother reminded
me with a triumphant smile when we put on our big coats and snow pants to go outside.
The three of us stepped outside into the knee-deep snow and shielded our eyes from the
brightness. My brothers wasted no time and dashed off to play in the yard, leaving me behind to
tackle the frustrating task of shoveling the driveway. With a heavy sigh, I inched through the thick
snow to the driveway, my boots sinking with each step. I grunted (嘟哝) with effort as my brothers
yelled with joy. Sunday would never be my day, I sighed.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150左右；

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a shovel rubbing against the driveway concrete.

Dear Tom,
I have known your ideas about exploring space. I didn’t agree that exploring space is a waste of time and money. Actually, it’s more important than you can imagine.
The space technology can help to improve the techniques in other fields. With the help of satellites, GPS is widely used all over the world. Besides, space technology represents a country’s scientific and technological level. Last but not least, exploring space helps us to think the future of mankind.
In short, exploring space is so important that we should continue this great project.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
大作文范文
Suddenly. I heard the sound of a shovel rubbing against the driveway concrete. Turning around, I saw my brothers busily scooping snow from the driveway. “We’re not helping: we just need blocks of snow for our igloo,” my younger brother explained hastily. Watching them, I couldn’t help but smile. Despite their explanation, it was clear they were helping me, which greatly warmed my heart. With their help, the task became easier, and soon scoop by scoop, we cleared out the driveway together, laughing and chatting as we worked. We dug up enough snow to build the igloo of our dreams.
After we finished, we sat inside the igloo, laughing about our morning adventures. As we sipped on some hot cocoa, the warmth of the cocoa and the snugness of the igloo made me forget all about the cold outside. Looking around at my brothers’ smiling faces. I felt a warm sense of contentment. Despite our silly competitions and occasional teasing, there was nowhere else I’d rather be than right there. surrounded by my family. As we sat together. I couldn’t help but feel grateful for these moments. It wasn’t just about the igloo or the hot cocoa: it was about the bond we shared as siblings. That day, as we sat in our cozy snow fortress. I realized that our rivalry was just a small part of the love and support we had for each other. And that’s what made our Sundays so special.

M: I was keen on going to San Francisco, but we decided on Quebec because my wife has a sister there that she wanted to see. I don’t regret it. Quebec is absolutely fantastic. If you ever get the chance, you should definitely go.
W: Really Tell me more about it.
M: When we arrived, there was a fresh carpet of snow on the ground, the sky was brilliant blue and the sun was shining. It was amazing!
W: So what can you do there
M: On our first day, we went on a walk around the city. I was really impressed by the Chateau Frontenac. It’s not only a luxurious hotel but also considered to be one of the most castle-like hotels in the world. We also went to the Lower Town, which has lovely old streets, lined with age-old charming shops.
W: Did you go skiing
M: No, but we did something better. Someone working at our hotel recommended we go to Village Vacances Valcartier. The place consists of several small snow-covered hills; you can’t ski there but you can go tubing. We got into these huge tubes and launched ourselves down the hill. It was fantastic fun!

Some students have created a camera-operated weather balloon and sent it over 30 km into the Earth’s atmosphere. The readings they’ve got so far are incredibly detailed and could be helpful for weather forecasting and many other uses. The photographs taken by the balloon’s camera are impressive too.
Something that’s attracted media attention is another type of underwater vehicle, which can operate in the severest conditions. It can explore the ocean depths where there’s absolutely no light, and it’s being used to learn about the behavior of the most difficult to reach marine life. There are hopes of taking it to the polar regions, where scientists hope to find out more about what might be living there.
