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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
In today’s global trade, product safety is extremely important. Therefore, labels on products help consumers make informed choices.
The primary function of these marks is to ensure the safety of users and property. For instance, electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the “CE” mark. This sign proves that the product meets all relevant EU standards. Unlike an official approval, it is based on the company’s own evaluation. In contrast, the Chinese “CCC” mark requires testing by an official organization, and a certificate must be obtained. Products without the “CCC” mark cannot be sold in China.
Other marks are also important. The French “FR” sign instructs consumers to separate packaging for recycling. The “RoHS” mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules, but as it is merely one part of the CE standard, it does not ensure full compliance (遵守). Codes like “SKC/SKU” are simply used by companies to manage their product storage. Most importantly, products must have clear safety warnings on their labels, or they will be banned from the market.
Below is a product label:
▲WARNING To avoid danger of choke, keep this plastic bag away from babies and children. Do not use it in beds, carriages or playpens.
▲WARNING This product contains a button cell or coin battery. A swallowed button cell or coin battery can cause Internal Chemical Burns. Battery liquid is poisonous and can cause dizziness and other serious symptoms.
21. Which mark is required for a camera to be sold in Europe
A. FR. B. SKC. C. RoHS. D. CE.
22. Which risk is least likely to occur for this product
A. Burns. B. Poisoning. C. Cuts. D. Choking.
23. What can be learned about this product according to the label
A. It restricts certain harmful substances. B. It can be opened by children alone.
C. Its packaging cannot be recycled. D. It is allowed to be sold in China.
B
The incident took place, believe it or not, on the playground. I was something of a football player, but I had never been a good player, far less a great one. I played for the mere physical joy that I got out of the game, but I played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The result was that, though I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college team.
Let me confess frankly that this was only because there was another player in the same position who happened to be much better than me. I considered myself the better sportsman, but he was certainly the greater player. So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time.
And at last my patience was rewarded. It was for me a very special day. Our team had shot up into the final and was meeting its rival (竞争对手). Our star-player sent word at the last moment that he was ill and he could not take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The thought was that the game was as good as lost, and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our trump card (王牌): That is what everybody always said. However, something had to be done, and that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost apologetically for having failed to recognize my greatness before, and — there I was, on the playground, greeted by the cheers of my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess.
I can tell you that I played like a demon (技艺出众的人). I was here, there and everywhere — now leading the attack, now falling back to help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life. For a time, I was the center of all attention, the object of universal applause, and “the observed of all observers”. And, believe it or not, it was I who put in the winning goal. It marked the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed pleasure and satisfaction.

25. What was the author’s patience rewarded

26. Why did the author say it was a thrilling moment in his life

C
“Men are from Mars, women from Venus” has become a convenient shorthand for every household debate, from map-reading to loading the dishwasher. Yet beneath the jokes lies a serious question: are the two sexes born with fundamentally different wiring, or have we simply repeated the story until it feels true
A high-profile set of scans appears to offer hard proof of a difference. British psychologist Stuart Ritchie reported in 2012 that male brains are, on average, roughly one-tenth heavier than female brains and contain more white-matter.
Lise Eliot, a neuroscientist at Chicago Medical School, believes such headlines are too dramatic. After re-analyzing thousands of images collected across six countries, she calls the brain “a unisex (不分性别的) organ”. The gap between group averages, she insists, is no wider than the difference between male and female kidneys, and the figures fail to predict how the organ actually processes algebra, empathy or parking instructions. Put simply, size decides nothing.
If body structure is not the real boss, what is Social experience. A 1970 survey’ showed boys beating girls thirteen-to-one on the mathematics SAT, a figure once highlighted by former Harvard president Lawrence Summers as proof of natural male scientific talent. However, when later student groups offered girls equal laboratory hours, encouraged female teachers and rewrote textbooks to include more real-world problems, the ratio fell to three-to-one, suggesting that opportunity, not body part, writes most of the scoreboard.
Margaret McCarthy, a neuropharmacologist at the University of Maryland, applauds Eliot for “forcing the debate forward”. She also notes that wiping out every sex difference would sound an extreme note. Equal, she reminds us, is not identical; biology may still whisper where society shouts.
28. Why does the author present Ritchie’s finding
A. To correct statistical errors in psychology. B. To stress the risk of repeating the same story.
C. To explain boys’ bad habits in reading maps. D. To present scan evidence of sex differences.
29. What is implied by Eliot’s re-analysis of brain volume
A. Kidneys may decide brain sizes. B. Males do well in tackling complex tasks.
C. It can’t tell how a person thinks or acts. D. Brain size might influence sex rules.
30. What can we infer from the narrowed math score gap after 1970
A. Equal chances play a big role. B. Boys are losing interest in STEM.
C. Standardized tests can’t be trusted. D. Biology favors girls in math.
31. What might be McCarthy’s attitude to erasing sex differences
A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent.
D
Quick: what’s your best friend’s phone number Don’t feel bad if you couldn’t answer off the top of your head. You have no reason to commit phone numbers to memory: it’s just there in your phone. Or perhaps you once had a phone book to store them. In either case, an object does the remembering for you.
“Prosthetic memory” (人工记忆) is nothing new. Writing itself has been a means of storing information. Yet the information revolution has generated more data than ever before. We are flooded with information. We’re creating more of it, and keeping more of it. The storage capacity of the human brain has since been eclipsed. No wonder, then, that we’re increasingly dependent on memory prostheses, from libraries to smartphones.
Not everyone thinks this trend in external memory is good. Historically, memory prostheses were expensive. As technologies such as printing and photography become more affordable, sharing experiences with others is easier than ever. So every breakfast, every sunset, every encounter with a cat finds its way on to social media. And here comes the worry. When we devote ourselves to capturing and sharing the world in this way, something immensely valuable is lost; when recording so much of our lives, we’re forgetting to actually live them, and so disconnect ourselves from experience.
But is our social media-driven transformation wholly bad If we’re still creating and sharing memories like this, perhaps this is because we’ve not had sufficient time to learn how to do these things without thinking about what we’re doing. It is easy to ignore that the mass social media era is less than a decade old. That’s just a short blink (眨眼) in human history, yet it has totally changed how we live. I suspect we’re not far off from being directly faced with experience yet with the ability to share experience in ways less bounded by geography and time. After all, technology can protect all the moments of a life that would otherwise be lost.
32. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Technology weakens our brains. B. We are burdened with phone numbers.
C. We rely more on tools to memorize. D. Technology distances us from our friends.
33. What does the underlined word “eclipsed” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Improved. B. Undervalued. C. Restricted. D. Outperformed.
34. What negative effect does online sharing bring about
A. An overflow of posts. B. High cost of digital devices.
C. Addiction to the virtual world. D. Disregard for authentic experience.
35. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. Have faith in human brains. B. Take time to adapt to digital age.
C. Quicken the pace of development. D. Make efforts to enhance memory.

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。
The Oxford English Dictionary defines viral marketing as a method of marketing where consumers are encouraged to share information about a company’s goods or services via the Internet. 36 . For example, someone buys your product — if they like it, they tell their friends how good it is. Then the friends go and buy the same product and like it and tell their friends until you have reached a huge market without spending anything on advertising.
Viral marketing provides enormous potential for companies to promote their products with minimal spending. An excellent example of how successful viral marketing can be is the case of Hotmail.
Hotmail was originally launched in 1996 and it grew faster than any other company in the history of the world. Within the first 18 months of its launch it had already signed up over 12 million subscribers. 37 : How do they do it Well, according to Dr Ralph Wilson there are a number of elements that contribute towards a successful campaign.
● 38 . This may not seem like sound business practice as there is no immediate profit from the action, but viral marketing campaigns rely on patience. Once you have your potential customers using your free product you have the opportunity to sell them other desirable things, not to mention the possibilities you have for generating revenue through advertising.
●You must scale your supply. You are able to scale the campaign from small to large very rapidly. If your campaign is to be successful you must ensure that you can meet rapidly growing demand for your product or service. 39 , instead of increasing your business, your viral campaigns will start to kill it.
●You identify and exploit common motivations and behaviours. Most people are driven by a desire to be loved or popular or even financially better off. 40 .
A. If demand exceeds your ability to supply them
B. You give away some form of free product or service
C. Basically, this isn’t much different from word of mouth
D. If it cannot put links on other people’s websites or supply content to others
E. Internet is a reliable source of your product
F. Many companies have since successfully used the power of the Internet to advertise
G. These desires are part of what generates the huge amount of Internet communication each day

Announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 in Las Vegas, the Danish toymaker’s Smart Play system introduces new electronic 58 (component) to the classic plastic blocks. Lego says its new tech-enabled products, 59 (launch) in March with a new Star Wars set, are its “ 60(revolutionary) innovation” in nearly 50 years.
But Josh Golin, executive director of children’s well-being group Fairplay, 61(believe) Smart Bricks could destroy what was (before great about Legos) — using children’s own imagination during play. He said the toy did not require extra features 62 (generate) sounds or other effects. As is known to all, children’s Lego creations already do move and make noises through the power of their imaginations,” he told BBC.
The company’s chief product and 63 (market) officer, Julia Goldin, 64 (previous) told BBC it viewed digital technology as an opportunity to “expand physical play and physical building”.
“We don’t look at the digital world as 65 threat,” she said — adding that its smart range weaves (编入) interactivity “seamlessly” with its physical blocks.

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。
On a cold winter day, Li Ming found an injured puppy on his way home from school. The puppy was curled (蜷缩) up beside a snow pile, shaking, with its hind leg seemingly hurt and its tiny body shaking from the cold. Li Ming bent down and gently touched the puppy’s head, noticing the fear and helplessness in its eyes. He felt a burst of sadness and knew he couldn’t leave the little creature there. Immediately, he took off his scarf (围巾), carefully covered the puppy, and held it in his arms.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you,” Li Ming said softly, trying to comfort the shaking puppy. He decided to take the puppy home, even though he knew his parents might not agree to keep a pet. As he walked, he thought about how to convince his parents. “Maybe if I show them how much I care, they’ll understand,” he said to himself.
When he arrived home, Li Ming quietly carried the puppy to his room. He dried its body with a towel (毛巾), making sure to be extra gentle around the injured leg. Then, he found some old clothes and made a plain bed for the puppy in the corner of his room. The puppy seemed to relax a little, its shaking dying. Li Ming also gave it some water and a small piece of bread, which the puppy ate eagerly, wagging its tail (摇尾巴) weakly.
That night, Li Ming lay in bed, staring at the ceiling (天花板), filled with worry. He didn’t know how serious the puppy’s injury was or how his parents would react. He imagined different situations — some where his parents criticized him, others where they allowed him to keep the puppy. But no matter what, he knew he couldn’t give up this poor little life. As he dropped off to sleep, he dreamed of the puppy running happily in a sunny field, its tail wagging joyfully.

One possible version:
A Campus Upgrade Tip
I would like to put forward a proposal for campus upgrading, namely the establishment of Book Corners in the school corridors.
Specifically, delicate bookshelves could be installed at the corners of each floor’s corridor. These shelves could be stocked with a diverse range of reading materials including storybooks, science magazines and classic novels. Students could drop by during breaks or after school, enjoying a quiet space to unwind from heavy studies. Not only will these corners encourage us to read regularly, but they will also add cultural charm to our campus, fostering a stronger reading atmosphere.
I am looking forward to seeing these reading corners come to life.
Another possible version:
A Campus Upgrade Tip
I would like to propose adding corner culture walls in the corridors.
We can place them at the L-shaped corners of corridors on each floor. As for design, one section can display students’ calligraphy, paintings and short essays about campus life; another can share quotes from famous scholars or essential knowledge points. Besides, a small interactive area can be designed, where students post notes sharing insights into personal growth or study tips. Such culture walls will not only refresh the corridor’s look but also let students experience the cultural charm of the campus in daily walks.
I truly believe these corner culture walls will bring fresh vitality to our campus.

【答案】
The next morning, Li Ming woke up to find the puppy missing from its bed. Panicked, he rushed out of his room, only to see his parents standing in the living room, their expressions unreadable. His heart sank as he noticed the puppy curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket. His father cleared his throat and said, “We found it this morning. Why didn’t you tell us ” Li Ming hesitated, then explained how he had found the puppy and couldn’t bear to leave it in the cold. To his surprise, his mother sighed and said, “We understand, but you should have told us sooner. We’ll take it to the vet today.” Relief washed over Li Ming as he realized his parents weren’t angry — they were concerned. Thanks to everyone’s care, the puppy began to regain its strength.
A few days later, the puppy’s condition gradually improved. Something unexpected happened that changed everything. The vet had confirmed the puppy’s leg was sprained but would heal with care. Li Ming’s parents, seeing how devoted he was to the little dog, started to warm up to the idea of keeping it. One evening, as the puppy playfully chased a ball in the living room, Li Ming’s father smiled and said, “Maybe having a pet isn’t such a bad idea after all.” From then on, the puppy became a beloved member of the family, bringing joy and laughter to their home. Li Ming couldn’t have been happier — his act of kindness had not only saved a life but also brought his family closer together.

Mia is a carbon copy of her sister Ella, and people can hardly tell them apart. They specialize in different fields. Mia has a good comprehensive quality. She majored in electricity at college and successfully entered a famous American technology company after graduation. Because of her outstanding achievements, plus her exceptional capacity, soon she was promoted to a senior management position in the company. Now she is one of the company’s major makers. Ella is four years older than Mia. Ella adored seeing movies as a child, and she became a director when she grew up. A decade ago, a friend in communication with her reminded her of the subject of law, so she decided to shoot a TV series featuring a fair and honest judge. Before the shoot, not only did she carefully learn about the law, but she also sought professional legal advice. The series is scheduled for release in August this year. Despite the tough times in the film and television industry in recent years, the series, which is professional as well as interesting, will surely bring huge economic and social effects to Ella. Mia and Ella have succeeded in their respective careers, and they are the pride of their parents.
