第二部分 阅读理解(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)
A
In 1736, Benjamin Franklin came across a phenomenon while working as a clerk for the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful new member didn’t like Franklin and even threatened to make his life difficult. Franklin could have bowed to him and tried to win him over with kind words, but he did something unexpected.
Knowing the man owned a rare and valuable book, Franklin asked if he could borrow it for a few days. The man agreed, and Franklin returned it days later with a polite note. “When we next met in the House, he spoke to me, (which he had never done before) and did so politely,” Franklin later recalled. “He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged (恩惠).”
This idea became known as the Ben Franklin Effect. In 1969, two psychologists, Jon Jecker and David Landy, ran an experiment. They asked 74 volunteers to take part in a competition where they could win money. After the competition, the volunteers were divided into three groups. In the first group, the lead researcher (who acted a bit annoying) personally asked each competitor to return the money to help him out. In the second group, the office assistant asked the competitors to return the money, saying the department needed it. The third group got to keep their money. Later, the volunteers were asked how much they liked the researcher. Those in the first group had a much more positive impression of him than did those in the third group. The result of the second group suggested that an indirect request for a favor does not endear you to others.
But why does this happen One explanation is cognitive dissonance — the discomfort we feel when we hold two conflicting thoughts. For example, if you think, “I don’t like Joe, but I’m doing him a favor,” your brain solves the conflict by deciding, “Maybe I do like him after all.” Another explanation comes from the desire to build good relationships. Humans are naturally wired to want to help others.
21. Why did Franklin borrow a book from the member
A. To see its value. B. To improve relationship.
C. To learn how to be polite. D. To test the member’s character.
22. What decided how much the researcher was liked
A. The group number. B. The amount of money.
C. The participants’ personality. D. The direct request for a favor.
23. What is the second explanation about
A. Human nature. B. Network opinions.
C. Social expectation. D. Conflicting situations.
B
The catering industry (餐饮业) is witnessing a significant shift towards digital menus, a tendency that is gaining popularity as more restaurants adopt technology to improve the dining experience. Digital menus, which can be accessed through QR codes, tablets, or other digital interfaces, offer a modern and interactive way for customers to explore and order their meals.
Survey data from Square’s Future of Restaurants 2021 report reveals that an overwhelming 88% of restaurants are considering the switch to digital menus. This transition was motivated by the need for contactless services initially, which have become increasingly important in light of recent health and safety concerns. Digital menus offer advantages such as real-time updates, reduced waste, and the potential for data collection to make business decisions.
Bruce Bell, head of Square for Restaurants, wrote in a report that “The human-interaction element of dining is never going to go away, but I think U.S. restaurants will use QR-code menus in a way that will help them turn more tables and save costs on the expenses of menu and labor.” This statement reflects a common view among restaurant owners who see digital menus as a way to improve operational efficiency.
Despite the growing tendency towards digital menus, some restaurants and customers remain committed to traditional menus. As regular diner Sarah puts it, “I love the feeling of a menu in my hands; it sets the tone for the dining experience. I can take my time and really connect with the server. There’s something about the personal touch that screens simply can’t match.”
The decision to adopt digital menus or stick with traditional ones has implications for customer experience, operational efficiency, and environmental impact. Digital menus offer a number of strengths. However, they also require an initial investment in technology and may not be suitable for all types of restaurants or customers. Traditional menus, on the other hand, offer a familiar and personal touch but can be costly and less environmentally friendly. The choice between digital and traditional menus is not just about keeping up with a trend but about finding the right balance that is consistent with the restaurant’s values and the progressing expectations of diners.
24. What drove restaurants to digital menus in the first place
A. The aim to speed up ordering. B. The desire to improve menu appeal.
C. The influence of customer preference. D. The need to provide touchless services.
25. What do the underlined words “turn more tables” mean in paragraph 3
A Add more tables to the existing space.
B. Serve more customers in a given time.
C. Transform tables into digital interfaces.
D. Switch waitstaff between tables frequently.
26. What is expected of a traditional menu according to Sara
A. A rush to decide on orders. B. A strong touch of familiarity.
C. A bridge to linking people. D. A relaxed tone to chat with waiters.
27. What is purpose of the last paragraph
A. To describe the technological setup for digital menus.
B. To explore various factors in the options of two menus.
C. To discuss the importance of following industry trends.
D. To compare the weaknesses and strengths of two menus.
C
Picture this: you are in a position where your phone runs out of battery, but you don’t have anywhere to charge it. Well, what if the clothing you were wearing could help you out It’s an option that isn’t as strange as you might think. Now the latest fashion breakthrough is taking “activewear” in an entirely new direction: researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new fabric that can keep small devices juiced.
The prototype (样品) includes 1,200 tiny solar panels, each measuring just 5 by 1.5 millimeters. It can generate 400 milliwatts (毫瓦特) of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices.
“Until now very few people have considered their clothing products could be used for charging electronic devices,” explains Theodore Hughes-Riley, an associate professor of Electronic Textiles. “The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine. Besides, because the tiny solar cells are made up of silicon, wearers aren’t able to even notice a discrepancy in the fabric’s composition when it is compared to standard clothing.”
Potential products include items like outerwear, backpacks and other carrying bags using the material, all of which could allow wearers to keep their devices charged during the day. “Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people’s relationship with technology, as this prototype shows how we could do away with charging many devices on the wall,” adds Theodore.
Solar power innovations are key to transitioning (转变) human society from fossil fuel technologies, and are coming into a variety of fields. The European Space Agency, for example, plans to experiment with solar panel systems orbiting above Earth. Since there are no real “days” or “nights” in space, potential solar power generation could be as much as 8 or 9 times greater than what’s currently achievable here on Earth’s surface. As powerful as that may one day be for us, it’s encouraging to know even changes like the composition of our clothing can help facilitate the necessary renewable energy shift for our species.
28. What makes the new fabric special
A. It can produce electricity from sunlight.
B. It can change color in the sun.
C. It is much softer than standard clothing.
D. It can adjust body temperature.
29. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Progress. B. Distinction.
C. Similarity. D. Mismatch.
30. How does the innovation impact our relationship with technology according to Theodore
A. By making electronic devices cheaper and cheaper.
B. By increasing our dependence on electronic devices.
C By making us more aware of our energy consumption.
D. By reducing the demand for fixed charging equipment.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Solar energy will soon replace fossil fuels.
B. Solar power is more useful in space than on Earth.
C. Small changes can contribute to a renewable energy future.
D. Space exploration is necessary for advancing solar technology.
D
Recent research suggests that growing camellia (山茶) plants for cooking oil could enhance production while minimizing environmental harm. Replacing some traditional vegetable oil crops with camellia could lead to increased oil yield and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions (释放), water consumption, and pesticide use. Camellia, or tea seed oil, is a high-yielding bush that grows well in challenging conditions where other oil crops struggle. Despite its potential health benefits, camellia oil remains largely unknown outside China.
Currently, about a third of the world’s farmland is used to grow vegetable oils. This area is expanding, contributing to deforestation, global warming and wildlife loss. According to Thomas Wanger from Westlake University in Hangzhou, China, the environmental impact of six main oil crops — soya, palm, rapeseed, sunflower, peanut, and olive — results in an estimated 1.2 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, primarily due to fertilizer use and deforestation.
Wanger’s team explored the environmental benefits of replacing some of these crops with Camellia oleifera. This plant can yield up to 2.8 tonnes of oil per hectare, second only to palm oil, and can grow in poor soil and on steep hillsides. Camellia oil is rich in oleic acid (油酸), which may lower heart disease risk and has a higher smoke point than many oils, reducing harmful chemical formation during cooking.
If camellia were grown on 11% of the land currently used for other oil crops, it could produce the same oil volume while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions by 14%, water use by 5%, land use by 7%, and pesticide use by 9%. However, these figures would depend on how camellia is grown, says Wanger, “The benefits depend strongly on where it is planted and to replace what.”
Government action would probably be needed to encourage a camellia oil market, says Wanger. “The price currently is very high, and so I think the consumer might be a bit hesitant.” “The commercial reality is that new oil crops won’t achieve a large market share unless production can compete in the market,” says Christopher at Alternative Fuels Consultancy.
32. What are the environmental benefits of growing camellia plants
A. Using less chemicals.
B. Limiting water pollution.
C. Minimizing greenhouse gas.
D. Helping other crops’ growth.
33. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Camellia plants attain the highest oil yield.
B. The living conditions of camellia is demanding.
C. Camellia oil tends to form less poisonous gas in cooking.
D. Camellia oil is primarily used for heart disease treatment.
34. What is Wanger’s attitude toward replacing other oil crops with camellia oil
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
35. What is crucial in increasing the camellia oil’s market share
A. Reducing the price.
B. Expanding the farmland.
C. Encouraging more production.
D. Changing the shopping habits.

67. 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 Grade 9 I joined boxing classes. My friend Lea and I were the only girls in the class.
We got to throw our first punches (拳击) and learned how we should stand. I still didn’t know how to do it well, but I felt that choosing the boxing class was a right decision. Mr. Vernon, our boxing teacher, made us work hard and sweat. The boxing pads (防护垫) were my favorite, but my punches weren’t strong enough.
After participating in more practices, we had learned how to punch in six different ways. The boys were improving a lot on their strength, and Lea with her speed. What about me Well, I had a hard time seeing the difference. Mr. Vernon would always tell me that practice would make me stronger, and this was what helped motivate me to continue.
Each practice there was at least one boy who would make fun of me and say, “Oh, you’re too short to box. Mr. Vernon has to bend down when you are on the boxing pads; oh, you’re not strong enough; you punch like a mouse.”
I know those comments were not to hurt me, but just to have fun. It’s true. I’m a small and short person and I did lack confidence; but hearing those comments can either bring you down, or make you feel motivated to show them they are wrong. In my case, they started to discourage me. I didn’t have the strength to think they were wrong, and part of me thought that they were speaking the truth. I hid it inside my heart because I thought that showing I was doubting myself would make it worse.
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。
