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 1987, educational theorist Neil Fleming set out to help students adapt their
practices to better help them keep new information. And so, he created the VARK
learning styles: Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinaesthetic.
Visual
● Images, graphics and Auditory
● Listening and speaking
visuals
● Verbal repetition
● Mindmaps and
● Verbal discussion
diagrams
● Sound recordings and
● Animation
mnemonic devices
● Colour based
Read/write Kinaesthetic
● Reading and writing ● Tactile learning
● Note taking ● Physical activity and
● Information in written movement
word ● Models and 3D
objects
Although the VARK learning styles have been widely regarded as helpful for
students who have a better understanding of themselves and how to direct their
studying, it has its disadvantages. Despite one learning style making it easier for you to
第 3 页 共 13 页
study, it can in some ways be a barrier (阻碍 ). What if you struggle to learn a
particular subject using a specific learning style It can often lead you to feel as though
you’ll never be able to understand the information — rather than thinking another
method might work better. It’s common for learners to benefit from more than one
learning style; e.g. watching a video of someone putting together furniture
(kinaesthetic) and then following the diagram themselves (visual).
So, although the VARK learning styles may be a great way to better understand
how best you learn, it’s important to play around with different study methods to see
which works best for you, especially when approaching different subjects. Kinaesthetic
learning might be great for helping you understand how gravity works, but it might not
be so helpful for poetry analysis.
Trying a combination of different learning styles won’t only help you improve your
concentration and study motivation, but you’ll also become a more effective learner,
spending time on the activities that are going to help you achieve the most effect.
21. Why did Neil Fleming create the VARK learning styles
A. To help students learn better. B. To form a new educational theory.
C. To improve learners’ visual memory. D. To replace traditional learning methods.
22. Which activity best fits the Auditory learning style
A. Build a 3D model of a cell structure.
B. Write summaries of a science textbook.
C. Draw mindmaps for a history lesson.
D. Listen to the radio and repeat key points.
23. What advice is given to be a more effective learner
A. Keep focused on one learning style. B. Identify a specific learning style.
C. Experiment with mixed learning styles. D. Apply the VARK learning styles.

American actor Marc Herrmann says he’s finally able to call himself a full-time
working actor — thanks to Chinese micro dramas. He’s one of many Hollywood
professionals finding opportunity as China’s short drama platforms gain popularity in
the U.S. and reshape the global streaming (流媒体) market.
Behind the boom is the fact that China’s mini-drama industry has developed a
complete ecosystem, reshaping the viewer market in film and TV with its “short, fast,
第 4 页 共 13 页
and catchy” features. According to the 2024 White Paper on the Development of
China’s Short Drama Industry, the American micro-short drama market reached 50.4
billion yuan (about $7.03 billion) last year, beating box office income for the first time.
The success of Chinese short dramas overseas is not about spreading domestic (国内
的 ) content, but about localized reinvention in themes and visual language for the
overseas market.
Xu Wensong, an associate professor at the School of Cultural Industry
Management at the Communication University of China, told us that Chinese short
dramas are characterized by appealing storylines, an ability to deliver high emotional
value and instant entertainment. With improving production quality, these short
dramas hold a certain competitive edge in international markets. “Chinese platforms
are good at adjusting content to local tastes”, Xu said.
Micro drama production has restructured the traditional logic of the film and
television industry. A Hollywood film editor said that an increasing number of micro
dramas funded by Chinese companies, developed by Chinese creative teams, and
starring Hollywood actors are being produced in Los Angeles. This, he said, has
“rescued” many Hollywood professionals who were on the brink of unemployment.
Sun Jiashan, an associate researcher at the Central Academy of Culture and
Tourism Administration, noted that the overseas development of Chinese micro
dramas symbolizes a significant practice of “cultural output in the digital age”. Sun
believes that micro dramas may become an important tool for China’s cultural soft
power, carving out a different path in the global streaming competition.
24. Why are Chinese short dramas successful overseas
A. Because they meet local tastes.
B. Because they display domestic content.
C. Because they reshape the global streaming market.
D. Because they have developed a complete ecosystem.
25. According to Xu Wensong, which of the following is the characteristic of Chinese
short drama
A. Classic roles. B. Plain stories.
C. Emotional value. D. Localized settings.
26. What does the underlined phrase “on the brink of” in paragraph 4 probably mean
第 5 页 共 13 页
A. Close to. B. Aware of. C. Confused about. D. Terrified of.
27. What might Sun Jiashan probably agree with about Chinese short dramas
A. They have promoted economy in USA.
B. They can serve as a cultural messenger.
C. They have revived the Hollywood industry.
D. They can stand for the Chinese streaming soft power.
C
Sunscreen (防晒霜 ) is important for keeping skin safe from sun damage and
preventing skin cancer. The chemicals in many sunscreens, however, can be harmful
for sea life. This has inspired scientists to develop a new kind of sunscreen made from
flower pollen (花粉).
Sunscreen works by using special chemicals that block ultraviolet (UV) light from
the Sun’s rays, and people often apply it to their skin before going into the ocean or
other natural waterways. But the chemicals are washed off by the water and spread into
it, affecting the wildlife that lives there. This is especially harmful for coral reefs (珊瑚
礁), which support a wide variety of fish, plants, and other underwater life.
To find an alternative, scientists from Nanyang Technological University in
Singapore turned to pollen, which is known to be resistant to UV light. The team
prepared water-based gels (凝胶) made from pollen of camellia (山茶花)flowers and
sunflowers. Then they tested how well those gels blocked UV light, including both
UVA and UVB-wavelengths of UV light -produced by the Sun and tanning beds, that
damage skin. Both gels took in UV rays, the team found, but the camellia gel took in
more UVB rays, shorter wavelength rays mainly responsible for causing sunburn and
skin cancers, than the sunflower gel did. When tested on mice, both gels prevented
skin damage when the mice were put in UV light for a few minutes per day. Mice that
didn’t receive sunscreen had thinner skin after the same UV experience. The team also
put samples of the gels in saltwater tanks containing coral, which still appeared healthy
after two months.
“What they’re doing are first steps, but they’re really important first steps,” said
Craig Downs, the executive director of Haereticus Environmental Laboratory, a
non-profit organization dedicated to preserving ecosystems. Some of the next steps
might be to assess whether the pollen-based sunscreen is harmful to other wildlife in
第 6 页 共 13 页
natural environments, then clear safety tests in humans. “But if they are successful,”
Downs added, “in five to eight years, this might be a marketable product.”
8. Why did scientists develop pollen-based sunscreen
A. For low costs. B. For skin safety.
C. For sea preservation. D. For economic benefits.
9. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Sunflower gel takes in most of the UVB rays.
B. Sunflower gel is responsible for causing skin damage.
C. Camellia gel left the mice with thinner skin than regular sunscreen.
D. Camellia gel is more effective in UV protection than sunflower one.
10. What did Craig Downs think of the pollen-based sunscreen
A. Profitable. B. Dangerous. C. Demanding. D. Alarming.
11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage
A. The History of Sunscreen Development.
B. Pollen-Based Sunscreen: A Safe Choice.
C. UV Light: The Main Cause of Skin Damage.
D. The preservation of Coral Reefs from Sunscreen.
D
When plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. At this
point in our social media entanglement (纠缠), the fact that the camera eats first is
pretty much a given. Sure, some chefs, including Michelin rated star chefs, express
their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table a screen-free domain have mostly
fallen flat.
New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced
by the food photos that their friends post on social media. For example, for every
serving of fruits and vegetables that a person thinks their friends are eating, they’ll eat
one-fifth of a serving more. This number makes more sense within the context of the
recommended “five a day”, meaning someone who’s being influenced would make a
point of eating six portions of fruits or vegetables. Similarly, for every three portions
of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they’ll eat an extra
one.
The researchers have also suggested that social media can be very beneficial when
第 7 页 共 13 页
it comes to people’s choices of food and their diets. Study supervisors Dr. Jason
Thomas said, “The implication is that we can use social media as a tool to encourage
each other’s eating choice within friendship groups, and use this knowledge as a tool
for public health interventions.”
Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else
posted on social media. People also desire to copy what they see but they need good
social media literacy skills in order to grasp what’s realistic and what’s absurd. It is
necessary to avoid the fake perfection of social media.
It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so
no wonder people want to take the path of least resistance and eat what their friends
are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming
recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. By all means, keep your antennae
(触角) out for new ideas, but gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store
flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family.
32. What phenomenon is talked about in Para.1
A. The influence of social media on people’s diet.
B. People’s taking photos of food before eating.
C. Chefs’ efforts to make the table screen-free.
D. The pursuit of dining in fancy restaurant.
33. What’s the consequence of people’s seeing their friends’ online post
A. They’ll copy what their friends do.
B. They’ll take junk food more seriously.
C. They’ll consume more than their friends.
D. They’ll care more about their friends’ eating habits.
34. What’s Dr. Jason Thomas’s attitude towards social media
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Unclear.
35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. Point out the unreality of social media.
B. Call on people to enrich their knowledge in cooking.
C. Introduce the general classification of food posted online.
D. Encourage people to broaden their sources of food inspiration.

Alex loved the school garden more than anything. Every day, Alex would rush to
the garden right after class. The garden was usually filled with busy bees and
butterflies.
But today, something was wrong. Alex noticed that the garden was quiet. There
were no bees buzzing (发出嗡嗡声 ) around the flowers. There were no butterflies
dancing in the air either. “Where did everyone go ” Alex wondered. Ms. Green, the
kind teacher who took care of the garden, noticed Alex’s worried face. She gently
asked, “What s wrong, Alex ”
Alex said, “The bees and butterflies are gone! The garden doesn t feel happy
without their buzz.” Ms. Green nodded slowly and said, “You re right, Alex. The
garden does feel a little empty without them. They help the flowers make fruits and
seeds (种子 ). Without them, the garden wouldn t be so colorful.” Alex listened
carefully and wanted to do something to help the garden.
Ms. Green suggested finding out why the bees and butterflies were gone. Together,
they went to the school library. They discovered that bees and butterflies need flowers
with sweet nectar (花蜜) and safe places to build nests (巢). With this in mind, they
decided to plant more nectar-rich flowers and create a safe space where the insects
could rest and make their homes.
The next day, Alex and Ms. Green started their project. Ms. Green showed Alex
how to prepare the soil for the new flowers. Alex carefully dug small holes and gently
placed the seeds and small plants in them. They planted bright sunflowers,
sweet-smelling lavender and colorful zinnias. Bees and butterflies love those flowers!
第 12 页 共 13 页
Then, they started working on making a bee house and a butterfly house. Ms.
Green brought some pieces of wood and showed Alex how to build a small wooden
house. They made small holes for the bees to get into and comfortable places for the
butterflies to rest. The garden was starting to look like a welcoming place for the
insects.
注意：(1)续写词数应为 150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Para1: A few weeks later, Alex ran to the garden eagerly.

A few weeks later, Alex ran to the garden eagerly. His heart beat fast with
excitement. As he got closer to the garden, he heard a familiar sound. It was a soft
buzzing sound. Alex looked around and smiled widely. The bees were back! They
were flying from flower to flower, collecting nectar. The butterflies were back, too!
They danced among the flowers. The garden was alive again. Alex saw a butterfly
land on the sunflower that Ms. Green and he had planted together. It was a beautiful
sight!
Alex rushed to Ms. Green and told her the wonderful news. Ms. Green smiled
warmly. “I knew they would come back if we made the garden a safe and welcoming
1
place for them.” Alex and Ms. Green went to the garden, sat on a seat and watched the
bees and butterflies. They felt a great sense of pride and happiness. Alex realized that
even a small action can make a big difference in the world. By helping the bees and
butterflies, they had made the whole garden lively again.
