Before arriving in China in 2017， I had read various books relating to China， and my fascination was increasing.
Therefore， when I arrived， I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food， the landmarks， the big cities and everyday life—I couldn’t wait to explore.
Yet despite my passion， learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness， but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this， I was living in Shanghai， an international city， with many people speaking English as a second language—I decided English would be enough.
However， after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese， there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all？ In addition， I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge， I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret was that I didn’t start earlier.
Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese， they almost always understand me， and I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said.
My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life， but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So， to all my non-Chinese friends I say this， take up the challenge and take the leap of faith.
( )24. Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017？
A. He showed no passion for China.
B. He was unwilling to make the effort.
C. He avoided learning a second language.
D. He avoided doing something difficult.
( )25. What caused the author to learn Chinese？
A. His regret about starting learning late.
B. Support from many friends around him.
C. Eagerness to take up the challenge.
D. A thirst to prove his gift for language.
( )26. What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in Paragraph 5 mean？
A. Valueless.
B. Difficult.
C. Unnecessary.
D. Unacceptable.
( )27. What can we learn from the author’s experience？
A. Love breaks down difficulties.
B. Hard work pays off.
C. Hard work is the key to success.
D. Bravery opens up a new world.

Frankie Gaw， an Asian American food creator and author of a cookbook， is known for his unique approach to cuisine. He changes American classics with an Asian twist， creating dishes like a Pop-Tart topped with strawberry litchi frosting (糖霜) and a Happy Meal that includes fried pork， cucumber salad and a dairy product. Gaw’s social media page is filled with videos of these innovative creations.
“I asked myself， ‘since the world is much more inclusive and embraces all of these diverse flavours (风味)， what are the things that Asian Americans would want to see？’” Gaw talked about how his hit social media cooking series “Turning American Classics Asian” came to be.
The idea appeared after a trip to his local supermarket. Walking through aisles (过道)， Gaw noticed that much of the food stocked on the shelves was similar to what he saw as a kid 20 years ago. Meanwhile， ingredients like soy sauce and miso (味噌) were still strictly grouped in “Asian” aisles. For many immigrants and children of immigrants， food is an important part of life. For Gaw， standing between the “Asian” aisle and the rest of the grocery store was also symbolic of his upbringing in Cincinnati， Ohio. Growing up， Gaw felt like he was living a double life. In public， Gaw enjoyed chicken and fries in the fast-food restaurant. At home， he enjoyed his grandmother’s beef noodle soup.
Years later in his Seattle apartment， Gaw began experimenting with his childhood favourites. He changed a brand of cream of mushroom soup and turned it into porridge. He added miso to the macaroni and cheese (芝士通心粉). Gaw shared his food on social media. It went viral. His food and his experiences at the grocery store received strong feedback， especially from other Asian Americans.
“Making American classics Asian is not just about my appreciation for Asian flavours and ingredients， or disrespect to American staples (主食). Instead， it’s my way of showing respect for both—and on a larger scale， for the experiences of Asian Americans. Seeing this familiar food at a fast-food restaurant makes me feel like I have a seat at the table.” he said.
( )28. What can we learn about Frankie Gaw？　
A. He explores the history of American food.
B. He gives American dishes an Asian flavour.
C. He attacks the lack of changes in American dishes.
D. He focuses on maintaining traditional Asian dishes.
( )29. Why does the author mention Gaw walking through supermarket aisles？
A. To show how Gaw was inspired to create his cooking series.
B. To show the unreasonable arrangements of American super-markets.
C. To imply Gaw’s disappointment with the limited food options.
D. To imply it’s difficult for immigrants to adapt to American food.
( )30. What does the underlined sentence “It went viral.” in Paragraph 4 mean？
A. Gaw’s food creations gained popularity quickly.
B. Gaw decided to stop sharing his food creations.
C. Gaw suffered from big trouble at the beginning.
D. Gaw’s experiments with food received mixed reactions.
( )31. What do Gaw’s words in the last paragraph imply？
A. Food represents people’s love for life.
B. Food reflects the development of culture.
C. Food plays an important part in our daily life.
D. Food serves as a bridge for cultural integration.
D
A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with squinting eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short， the payoffs are high， and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticised picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects， such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example， ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana， U.S. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models (丰度模型) are not 100 percent accurate， but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”， scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance， the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms， even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite， complete and perfect answers to their questions. However， given various limitations and the world’s complexity， keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science， healthy disagreement is a feature， not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (审查) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”， but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms， questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So， real science is a collective， imperfect and many-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
( )32. How does the author introduce the topic of the article？
A. By describing a scientific research process.　
B. By telling a scientist’s personal experience.
C. By giving an example of scientific failure.
D. By presenting a common misconception.
( )33. What do Paragraphs 2 to 3 mainly talk about？
A. The challenges faced by scientists.
B. The history of scientific research.
C. The methods scientists use to share results.
D. The various focuses of scientists in their research.
( )34. What is the author’s view on healthy disagreements in science？
A. They are essential for scientific progress.
B. They create confusion and delay conclusions.
C. They indicate problems in scientific methods.
D. They often lead to the rejection of old theories.
( )35. Why does the author mention Jean Baptiste Perrin’s experiments and the subsequent debate？
A. To show science is a collection of facts.
B. To prove scientific knowledge is always absolute.
C. To illustrate science is a dynamic and evolving process.
D. To show scientific conclusion can be reached after discussion.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I remember the day Dad first brought the heavy accordion (手风琴) home. He gathered my mother and me in the living room and opened the case as if it were a treasure box. “Here it is，” he said. “Once you learn to play， it’ll stay with you for life.”
If my thin smile didn’t match his great pleasure， it was because I had prayed for a guitar or a piano. Then one evening after two weeks， Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week.
Shortly after， my lessons began with Mr Zelli at the Allegro Accordion School. On my first day， with straps (手风琴皮带) straining my shoulder， I felt clumsy in every way. “How did he do？” my father asked when it was over. “Fine for the first lesson，” said Mr Zelli. Dad glowed with hope.
I was ordered to practise half an hour every day. My future seemed to be outside playing ball， not in the house mastering songs I would soon forget， but my parents urged me to practise.
Gradually， to my surprise， I was able to string notes together and coordinate my hands to play simple songs. Often， after supper，my father would request a tune or two. As he sat in his easy chair， I would play through Lady of Spain and Beer Barrel Polka. “Very nice， better than last week，” he’d say.
With the fall recital approaching， I would have to play a solo on a local movie theatre’s stage. I wanted to skip the whole thing. Emotions boiled over in the car one Sunday afternoon.
“I don’t want to play a solo，” I said.
“You have to，” replied my father.
“Why？” I shouted. “Because you didn’t get to play your violin when you were a kid？ Why should I have to play this stupid instrument when you never had to play yours？” Dad pulled the car over and pointed at me. “Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts. That’s a gift I won’t let you throw away.” He added softly， “Someday you’ll have the chance I never had： You’ll play beautiful music for your family. And you will understand why you’ve worked so hard.”
I was speechless. I had rarely heard Dad speak with such feeling about anything， much less the accordion. From then on， I practised without parents making me.

B. Around 6：00 p.m.
C. Around 7：00 p.m.
Mr Perkins stood at the bus stop and watched the cars go by. Many of the cars were new Beta 400s， and most of them were yellow. Mr Perkins always wore the same clothes as other men， ate the same food as other people， and did the same things after work and at the end of the week Mr Perkins did not like to be different. The following week， Mr Perkins bought a new， bright yellow Beta 400s. He was satisfied with it， and drove to work in it the very next day. He was even more satisfied with his new car when he saw all the other Beta 400s in front， behind， and on both sides of him.
Mr Perkins parked his car in a big parking lot near his office， and worked the rest of the day. But when he came back at five o’clock， there were so many bright yellow Beta 400s in the parking lot that he did not know which was his car. He tried his key in some of the cars， but people passing by gave him a look he didn’t like. So he stopped. Poor Mr Perkins had to wait nearly two hours until his car was the only one left in the parking lot.

Before arriving in China in 2017， I had read various books relating to China， and my fascination was increasing.
Therefore， when I arrived， I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food， the landmarks， the big cities and everyday life—I couldn’t wait to explore.
Yet despite my passion， learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness， but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this， I was living in Shanghai， an international city， with many people speaking English as a second language—I decided English would be enough.
However， after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese， there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all？ In addition， I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge， I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret was that I didn’t start earlier.
Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese， they almost always understand me， and I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said.
My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life， but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So， to all my non-Chinese friends I say this， take up the challenge and take the leap of faith.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一开始到中国时因惧怕困难而不想学习中文，但在认真学习后，作者发现学习中文有众多好处的故事。

A. He showed no passion for China.
B. He was unwilling to make the effort.
C. He avoided learning a second language.
D. He avoided doing something difficult.
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This wasn’t laziness， but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.”可知，作者2017年到中国时不学中文是因为他逃避做困难的事情。
(　C　)25. What caused the author to learn Chinese？
A. His regret about starting learning late.
B. Support from many friends around him.
C. Eagerness to take up the challenge.
D. A thirst to prove his gift for language.
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge， I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret was that I didn’t start earlier.”可知，对挑战的渴望促使作者开始学习中文。

Frankie Gaw， an Asian American food creator and author of a cookbook， is known for his unique approach to cuisine. He changes American classics with an Asian twist， creating dishes like a Pop-Tart topped with strawberry litchi frosting (糖霜) and a Happy Meal that includes fried pork， cucumber salad and a dairy product. Gaw’s social media page is filled with videos of these innovative creations.
“I asked myself， ‘since the world is much more inclusive and embraces all of these diverse flavours (风味)， what are the things that Asian Americans would want to see？’” Gaw talked about how his hit social media cooking series “Turning American Classics Asian” came to be.
The idea appeared after a trip to his local supermarket. Walking through aisles (过道)， Gaw noticed that much of the food stocked on the shelves was similar to what he saw as a kid 20 years ago. Meanwhile， ingredients like soy sauce and miso (味噌) were still strictly grouped in “Asian” aisles. For many immigrants and children of immigrants， food is an important part of life. For Gaw， standing between the “Asian” aisle and the rest of the grocery store was also symbolic of his upbringing in Cincinnati， Ohio. Growing up， Gaw felt like he was living a double life. In public， Gaw enjoyed chicken and fries in the fast-food restaurant. At home， he enjoyed his grandmother’s beef noodle soup.
Years later in his Seattle apartment， Gaw began experimenting with his childhood favourites. He changed a brand of cream of mushroom soup and turned it into porridge. He added miso to the macaroni and cheese (芝士通心粉). Gaw shared his food on social media. It went viral. His food and his experiences at the grocery store received strong feedback， especially from other Asian Americans.
“Making American classics Asian is not just about my appreciation for Asian flavours and ingredients， or disrespect to American staples (主食). Instead， it’s my way of showing respect for both—and on a larger scale， for the experiences of Asian Americans. Seeing this familiar food at a fast-food restaurant makes me feel like I have a seat at the table.” he said.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了亚裔美国美食创作者Frankie Gaw将美国经典食物融入亚洲风味的故事。
(　B　)28. What can we learn about Frankie Gaw？　
A. He explores the history of American food.
B. He gives American dishes an Asian flavour.
C. He attacks the lack of changes in American dishes.
D. He focuses on maintaining traditional Asian dishes.
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He changes American classics with an Asian twist， creating dishes like a Pop-Tart topped with strawberry…”可知，Frankie Gaw给美国菜肴增添了亚洲风味。
(　A　)29. Why does the author mention Gaw walking through supermarket aisles？
A. To show how Gaw was inspired to create his cooking series.
B. To show the unreasonable arrangements of American super-markets.
C. To imply Gaw’s disappointment with the limited food options.
D. To imply it’s difficult for immigrants to adapt to American food.
【解析】理解目的题。根据第三段中的“The idea appeared after a trip to his local supermarket. Walking through aisles…Meanwhile， ingredients like soy sauce and miso (味增) were still strictly grouped in ‘Asian’ aisles.”可知，作者提到Gaw在超市过道行走的目的是表明Gaw是如何受到启发而创作他的烹饪系列的。
(　A　)30. What does the underlined sentence “It went viral.” in Paragraph 4 mean？
A. Gaw’s food creations gained popularity quickly.
B. Gaw decided to stop sharing his food creations.
C. Gaw suffered from big trouble at the beginning.
D. Gaw’s experiments with food received mixed reactions.
【解析】词句猜测题。根据画线句后面的“His food and his experiences at the grocery store received strong feedback， especially from other Asian Americans.”可知，Gaw的食物创作收到了很多好评，It went viral意为“迅速受到欢迎”。

A. Food represents people’s love for life.
B. Food reflects the development of culture.
C. Food plays an important part in our daily life.
D. Food serves as a bridge for cultural integration.
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中Gaw所说的话可知，他强调将美国经典食品与亚洲风味结合并不是简单的个人喜好，也不是对美国传统食品的不尊重。相反，这是一种对两种文化都表示尊重的方式。通过融合，他试图在两种文化之间架起一座桥梁，展示文化的多样性和包容性。

A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with squinting eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short， the payoffs are high， and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticised picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects， such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example， ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana， U.S. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models (丰度模型) are not 100 percent accurate， but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”， scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance， the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms， even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite， complete and perfect answers to their questions. However， given various limitations and the world’s complexity， keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science， healthy disagreement is a feature， not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (审查) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”， but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms， questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So， real science is a collective， imperfect and many-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了科学的真实面貌，驳斥了科学浪漫化的刻板印象，并揭示了科学是一个集体的、不完美的、多面的过程。
(　D　)32. How does the author introduce the topic of the article？
A. By describing a scientific research process.　
B. By telling a scientist’s personal experience.
C. By giving an example of scientific failure.
D. By presenting a common misconception.
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知，文章开头描述了一个科学家在实验室中努力工作的场景，并指出这种浪漫化的科学形象是长期以来的标准，但实际上远非真相。由此可知，作者通过揭示一个常见的误解来引入文章的主题。
(　D　)33. What do Paragraphs 2 to 3 mainly talk about？
A. The challenges faced by scientists.
B. The history of scientific research.
C. The methods scientists use to share results.
D. The various focuses of scientists in their research.
【解析】段落大意题。通读第二、三段内容可知，这两段主要讨论科学家在研究中的不同关注点，包括探索现象的原因、研究事物的现状，以及研究解决问题的方法。
(　A　)34. What is the author’s view on healthy disagreements in science？
A. They are essential for scientific progress.
B. They create confusion and delay conclusions.
C. They indicate problems in scientific methods.
D. They often lead to the rejection of old theories.
【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段中的“In the world of science， healthy disagreement is a feature， not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (审查) ensures we have the best available knowledge.”可知，作者认为健康的意见分歧对于科学进步是必不可少的。
(　C　)35. Why does the author mention Jean Baptiste Perrin’s experiments and the subsequent debate？
A. To show science is a collection of facts.
B. To prove scientific knowledge is always absolute.
C. To illustrate science is a dynamic and evolving process.
D. To show scientific conclusion can be reached after discussion.
【解析】理解目的题。根据第六段的内容可知，本段通过举例说明Perrin的实验虽然在1908年看似解决了关于原子的讨论，但随后量子物理学的出现又引发了新的争议，强调科学知识是动态的、不断演进的，而非绝对的、固定的。由此可知，作者提及Jean Baptiste Perrin的实验和随后的争论是为了说明科学是一个动态的、不断发展的过程。

【解析】 考查介词。句意：中国人食用的许多食物对北美人来说是不熟悉的。be familiar to意为“为……所熟悉”，为固定短语。

59. 　that

第二节　读后续写(满分 25 分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I remember the day Dad first brought the heavy accordion (手风琴) home. He gathered my mother and me in the living room and opened the case as if it were a treasure box. “Here it is，” he said. “Once you learn to play， it’ll stay with you for life.”
If my thin smile didn’t match his great pleasure， it was because I had prayed for a guitar or a piano. Then one evening after two weeks， Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week.
Shortly after， my lessons began with Mr Zelli at the Allegro Accordion School. On my first day， with straps (手风琴皮带) straining my shoulder， I felt clumsy in every way. “How did he do？” my father asked when it was over. “Fine for the first lesson，” said Mr Zelli. Dad glowed with hope.
I was ordered to practise half an hour every day. My future seemed to be outside playing ball， not in the house mastering songs I would soon forget， but my parents urged me to practise.
Gradually， to my surprise， I was able to string notes together and coordinate my hands to play simple songs. Often， after supper，my father would request a tune or two. As he sat in his easy chair， I would play through Lady of Spain and Beer Barrel Polka. “Very nice， better than last week，” he’d say.
With the fall recital approaching， I would have to play a solo on a local movie theatre’s stage. I wanted to skip the whole thing. Emotions boiled over in the car one Sunday afternoon.
“I don’t want to play a solo，” I said.
“You have to，” replied my father.
“Why？” I shouted. “Because you didn’t get to play your violin when you were a kid？ Why should I have to play this stupid instrument when you never had to play yours？” Dad pulled the car over and pointed at me. “Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts. That’s a gift I won’t let you throw away.” He added softly， “Someday you’ll have the chance I never had： You’ll play beautiful music for your family. And you will understand why you’ve worked so hard.”
I was speechless. I had rarely heard Dad speak with such feeling about anything， much less the accordion. From then on， I practised without parents making me.

Paragraph 1：
The evening of the concert Mum wore glittery earrings and more make-up than I could remember.Dad got out of work early， putting on a suit and tie. At this time， I got the unspoken message that playing this one song was a dream for them. Finally， it was my turn. I walked to the chair on stage and performed without a mistake. The applause spilled out. I was light-headed， glad my ordeal was over. As the years went by， I went to college and the accordion drifted to the background of my life.
Paragraph 2：
After my graduation， I brought it to my own home and put it in the attic. One afternoon several years later， my two children discovered it by accident. When I opened the case， they laughed and said， “Play it， play it.” Reluctantly， I strapped on the accordion and played some simple songs. Soon the kids were dancing in circles and giggling. Even my wife was laughing and clapping to the beat. My father’s words came back to me： “Someday you’ll have the chance I never had. Then you’ll understand.” I finally knew what it meant to work hard and sacrifice for others. Dad had been right all along： The most precious gift is to touch the hearts of those you love.
