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
Climate change could have large impacts on food production across the world. Rising temperatures
might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat
and rice—— which benefit from more CO in the atmosphere—— could see growing output, while corn and
sorghum(高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures.
Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways:
A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods—————— changing WHAT,changing
WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum,
soybean(大豆) and wheat.
The Rise in Crop Yield
These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But,
of course, we don't only care about crop production at the global level.If farmers in particular regions————
especially those that are most food-insecure————— cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major
problem. So there is more we can do in the future.
21. What should farmers change if they are short of money and labour
A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. WHEN. D. HOW.
22. Which crop shows the greatest increase when farmers change the category of crops
A. Corn. B. Rice. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat.
23. What can be done in the future
A. To help the farmers in need. B. To adopt the three methods.
C. To focus on crop production. D. To revolutionize special regions.
B
August Lamm, a writer, artist and former art influencer, hasn't owned a smartphone since 2022. Her journey
to give up the smartphone began shortly after graduating from college, when she started posting pictures of her art
online and got hundreds of thousands of followers.“Everything that I shared online——— all these pictures and
words about my love life,my vacations or my house————— was feeding into my business, helping to
generate sales,” Lamm said. Finally, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a
breaking point.
At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and avoid using it for a whole day,which, she said, made life
inconvenient for everyone around her. It took her about a year to quit her smartphone and fully devote herself
to the dumbphone lifestyle, which offers only basic calling and texting.
Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to deal with without smartphones, since they
are more than just texting and surfing social media. In 2025, these smartphones function as virtual
wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found
solutions to the challenges.“You work out these problems by asking,” Lamm said,“like asking the
parking company if they can offer you an alternative when you can't use parking meter(计时器), and a
lot of the time they will.”
When it comes to her career, Lamm says she earns more money now than she ever did as an
influencer online. That's because now she only does the actual work, rather than spending hours and
hours crafting posts.“When I stopped posting, I found out income sources that existed before social
media: agencies, magazines, galleries, publishers,” she said.“If I hadn't spent thousands of hours trying
to build a huge following, I could have spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people,
making connections, organizing events,taking part in exhibitions and otherwise making a name for
myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly if I had not placed online popularity
above creative development.”
24. What made August Lamm decide to give up the smartphone
A. Her addiction to the smartphone.
B. The stress from social networking.
C. Her pressure from the busy college life.
D. Her concern over the downsides of technology.
25. Why does the author mention the situations in 2025 in paragraph 3
A. To explain why smartphones are developing very fast.
B. To advise people to depend less on modern technology.
C. To show the wide use of virtual wallets and health trackers.
D. To stress the important roles smartphones play in daily life.
26. How can we best describe August Lamm according to the text
A. Confident and demanding.
B. Creative and ambitious.
C. Determined and adaptable.
D. Generous and efficient.
27. What message does August Lamm want to express in the last paragraph
A. Social media do more harm than good.
B. Dumbphones are making a comeback.
C. Use smartphones only when necessary.
D. One can be less dependent on social media.
C
We already know how watching other people's lives on social media can negatively affect our
self-esteem(自尊) and satisfaction with our own lives. Apparently, using apps to track your own calories or
fitness activities can have a similar effect. New research from scientists at University College London(UCL)
suggests that fitness apps can actually become major demotivators.
The researchers analyzed nearly 60,000 posts on the X platform. This data is particularly valuable
because unlike traditional surveys, people tend to share honest,unfiltered(直白真实的) opinions online. The
posts included feedback on popular apps, such as MyFitnessPal. Around 13,000 posts contained negative
keywords the researchers tracked—— and over half mentioned the calorie-counting app MyFitnessPal.
At first glance, MyFitnessPal seems to offer everything you need to stay on top of your fitness and diet.
It allows users to track calorie intake, monitor proteins, and set personalized goals. You can simply import
recipes or scan bar codes from food packages—the app will do the rest offering you guidance on what and
when to eat. It sounds like working with a personal dietitian.
However, many people are not necessarily that gratified by it. Senior author Dr. Paulina Bondaronek
explained,“In these posts, we found a lot of blame and shame,with people feeling they were not doing as
well as they should be. These emotional effects may end up harming people's motivation and health.”
MyFitnessPal is also pretty easy to“fool”, since it's up to users whether to log or skip a meal. This
creates a false sense that if something isn't recorded in the app, it“didn't happen”. Many admitted cheating(e.
g., not recording a post-dinner cup of ice cream) to feel better, but this only led to more guilt. In some cases,
people quit the app and their healthy habits altogether.
It's important to note the study only analyzed negative posts, so there's no scientifically proven data on
fitness apps’ benefits. However, their drawbacks are hard to ignore. This is a clear wake-up call for
developers to consider their products’ unintended consequences.
28. What do we know about MyFitnessPal
A. It tracks health through exercise data.
B. It provides personalized dietitian services.
C. It automatically records every meal intake.
D. It may cause the discontinuation of healthy practices.
29. What do the underlined words“gratified by” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Puzzled about. B. Satisfied with.
C. Astonished at. D. Concerned about.
30. What is the author's attitude towards fitness apps
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Fitness Apps: Unexpected Harms
B. Fitness Apps: A Double-edged Sword
C. Social Media: A Threat to Self-esteem and Health
D. MyFitnessPal: A Convenient Tool for Diet Control
D
An electronic“tongue” that can potentially replicate(复制) human preferences for certain foods is in
development. This breakthrough comes as researchers aim to integrate emotional intelligence into artificial
intelligence(AI).
AI has advanced significantly over the years. However, its current models don't involve human
psychology, such as emotional intelligence.“The main focus of our work was how we could bring the
emotional part of intelligence to AI,” says Saptarshi Das, associate professor at the Pennsylvania State
University(Penn State).“Human behaviour is easy to observe but difficult to measure and that makes it
difficult to replicate in a robot and make it emotionally intelligent. There is no real way right now to do that.”
Eating habits serve as a prime example of this emotional intelligence. While hunger is the physiological
drive to eat, our choices of what to eat are influenced by our sense of taste.As Das explains, even when one
is not hungry, the psychological desire can drive him or her to consume a sweet treat, rather than a piece of
meat.
To grasp the complicated details of taste, Penn State researchers looked to the human tongue, which
translates chemical data into electrical signals sent to the brain's gustatory cortex(味觉皮层). In this brain
region, complex neuronal networks shape our sense of taste.To imitate this, the team created an electronic
“tongue”.
This technology can be adapted to recognize all primary taste profiles, from sweet and salty to umami(
鲜味的). Looking ahead, the researchers see numerous applications,including AI-designed diets based on
emotional preferences or tailored restaurant meal suggestions.
The team's immediate goal is to expand the electronic tongue's capacity.“We are trying to imitate the
10,000 or so taste receptors we have on our tongue that are each slightly different compared to the others,
which enables us to distinguish between small differences in tastes,” says Das.“The example I think of is
people who train their tongue and become a wine taster. Perhaps in the future, we can have an AI system that
you can train to be an even better wine taster.”
Beyond taste, the team wants to broaden this concept to other senses, leading to a more comprehensive
and emotionally intelligent AI system.
32. What can be learnt from paragraph 2
A. It is by no means tough to assess human behavior.
B. It is necessary to make robots emotionally intelligent.
C. Emotional intelligence is complex and difficult to observe.
D. Researchers struggle to create emotionally intelligent AI.
33. What might this electronic“tongue” be applied to in the future
A. Evaluating people's diet plans.
B. Helping restaurants serve customers better.
C. Designing a healthier diet plan for people.
D. Correcting people's poor dietary preferences.
34. What is the team's plan according to the last two paragraphs
A. Bringing more human senses into the AI system.
B. Making the electronic“tongue” available for everyone.
C. Attracting the attention of other researchers to AI's innovation.
D. Improving people's taste sensitivity with the electronic“tongue”
35. What is the text mainly about
A. AI's development trend in the future.
B. The electronic tongue's advantages.
C. AI's big role in developing emotional intelligence.
D. The electronic tongue's bridging emotional intelligence and AI.

Keep Skin Cancer At Bay
“You have skin cancer.” No one wants to hear such scary words. And unfortunately,the number of those
who hear them just keeps rising. The World Health Organization(WHO) estimates global cancer rates will
increase 77 percent by 2050. 36 By adopting a few healthy habits and making smart choices, people can
reduce their risk of developing skin cancer.
One of the most important ways is to limit your exposure to UV rays from the sun. UV rays are
strongest between 10 a. m. and 4 p. m., so it's best to stay indoors or in the shade during these hours. If you
have to be in the sun, wear protective clothing. 37 These measures can shelter you from harmful radiation
and prevent sunburn, which is a major risk factor for skin cancer.
38 Choose a type with a sun protection factor of at least 30. It should protect against both kinds of UV
rays that cause damage to your skin. Apply it to all exposed skin,including your face, neck, ears and hands,
even on cloudy days. Put it on every two hours or more often if you' re swimming or sweating.
Regular skin checks are also key in the prevention of skin cancer. It is vital to examine your skin once a
month for spots, moles(痣) or growths. Be on the lookout for changes in shape or color. Watch for moles that
have one side that is different from the other. 39 If a mole is bigger than a pencil eraser or its appearance is
changing, consult a skin doctor immediately.
Healthy skin is beautiful. 40
A. Look at the size, too.
B. Beauty is only skin deep.
C. Sunglasses that block UV rays are also a must.
D. Protecting it is one of the best things you can do.
E. You are bound to be free from any skin problems mentioned.
F. Using sunscreen is another important way to protect your skin. G. But the good news is that it's also one of the easiest to prevent.

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。
Zara was absolutely my best friend in the whole world. We had known each other since first grade, and we literally did
everything together. We frequently visited each other's homes and we knew each other's families like they were our own. The
interesting thing about our relationship was that the older we got, the more our values seemed to differ. We still enjoyed a lot
of the same things, but I was a bit more settled while she loved being associated with popular people and things. Although
she was basically a good person, she had no problem with forcing things to go her way.
Perhaps this is why it seemed that her family actually trusted me more than they trusted her. So, on the day when Zara
showed up at my house with a huge dent(凹痕) in her father's car, I knew that we were in for a troublesome time.
She had banged the car into a tree while out that day, and she knew her father was going to want an explanation. So she
stopped by my house in order to make up a story that would lessen her father's rage. Zara decided to tell him that while in a
parking lot, someone must have backed into the car and dented it. Looking at the dent with some crushed leaves and bark still
sticking there, I attempted to dispel(打消) her thought,“I don't think your father will buy it.”“Don't worry,” she insisted,“even
if my dad doesn't trust me, he' ll trust you.”My role was to confirm it for her. Actually I had strong objections to lying and I
wanted absolutely nothing to do with the situation. I loved her parents just like my own, and I did not want to be a part of this
lie that Zara was creating. Nevertheless, after numerous requests and a general questioning of my loyalty to our friendship, I
decided that the least Icould do was to act as a silent witness. That way, I wasn't actually lying; I just wasn't telling the full
truth.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
An hour or so later, we presented Zara’ s father with the car and the questioning began.
Her father looked at me with great disbelief.

An hour or so later, we presented Zara's father with the car and the questioning began.“What happened ” After carefully inspecting the car,
Zara's father questioned, struggling to contain his mounting anger. The room fell into a tense silence as I held my breath, biting my lip as an
onlooker. Finally, Zara broke the silence with confidence,delivering her well-woven story.“Someone hit my car in a parking lot while I was away,
and they managed to escape before we noticed.” She then eyed me, expecting my support. Reluctant as I was, I remained silent.“Is that true ”
Suddenly, Zara's father turned towards me, suspicion in his tone.
Her father looked at me with great disbelief. Realizing that Zara's story didn't hold water and couldn't escape his acute eye, I blushed with
embarrassment and once again, I chose to remain silent. Then came a sigh of disappointment from him. How could I lie to someone who had
shown me fatherly affection and trusted me more than his own daughter A sense of guilt overwhelmed me momentarily until courage emerged
from within me. To Zara's great shock, I stammered out the truth with remorseful honesty. Unexpectedly, her father did not explode.“My dear
children,” his voice softened,“honesty holds greater value than anything else. A damaged car can be repaired but trust can't.” With our heads
lowered in shame, we learned a thought-provoking lesson.

W: Hi, Vernon. I was really impressed with the talk you gave at the staff meeting about the National Production
Conference that will be held next month.(8)
M: Thanks! Are you thinking about going to the event I think it would be good for both our company and you.
W: I'd love to go,(8) but since it's held on a weekday, I'm concerned about taking time off. Do I have to use one of my
vacation days
M: No, because it's business-related. But you will need a special form that your manager must sign. You can have one
from the HR office.(9)

M: Wow, I'm really getting fat. I' ve gained 10 pounds in the last two months.(10)
W: How much do you weigh (10)
M: About 170 pounds.(10)
W: Do you exercise regularly
M: Not recently, because I'm meeting a tight deadline.
W: What kind of foods do you eat
M: I usually get take-out or fast food because I don't have enough time to cook.
W: I was reading a diet book the other day.(11) It said that if you eat meat and nothing else, you' ll lose weight
quickly.(12) One of my friends told me he tried it and lost 20 pounds.
M: That sounds good, but I'm not sure how long I could do that. Well, I think I'm going to try it anyway.(12) Who's
the author
W I can't remember. It's not that popular. So maybe you should also take in some vegetables and fruit to keep a
balanced diet. When I get home I' ll check and give you a call.

W: What did you think of that movie
M: I didn't really like it much.
W: Really I thought it was pretty good because the scenery was the most fascinating.(13)
M: That's true. The filmmakers might even win an award for that.
W: So, why did you say you didn't like it (14)
M: I thought the story moved along too slowly.(14) I like movies with more action in them.
W: Well, it was a romantic movie, not an action film.(15)
M: True, but it seemed like nothing happened other than people talking.(16)
W: Well, I enjoyed the talking. I like things either romantic or comic. What about the actors Did you like them
M: I usually like the guy who starred in the film, but I don't think he did a very good job this time.
W Well, I thought he was great. I almost cried in the end.
M: I did, too... I wanted to cry because I paid to watch it! (16)

M: Please, put your headphones on. To choose the language, you must press the button on the radio device.There are
four different options: red for English(18), blue for Spanish, green for Chinese and yellow for French.Now, follow me
this way... The Louvre Museum, or the Louvre Palace, as it's often called, consists of 3 wings, and we' re currently in
Richelieu. From here we will proceed to Sully and end our tour at Denon, where you will see the unique and
unforgettable Mona Lisa.(19) During my presentation, you will be able to see and hear the history of nearly nine
thousand years, presented to you with 38,000 objects. Hard to imagine, isn't it Originally built in the late 12th century,
the building was reconstructed in the 16th century into a king's palace. And in the late 18th century, it became the
Louvre Museum, as we know it nowadays. Located in the central district of the city, it is one of the most recognizable
attractions in Paris. The number of people who visited the palace in 2022 was over 7.6 million, which still didn't reach
its peak of 10.2 million in 2018.(20) I' ve heard a question about when to rest from someone in the group...Of course,
we' ll take a break at noon at the Carrousel Garden.
