You shouldn’t need a PowerPoint presentation to explain why getting a cat is a great idea, but Shana, a little girl, wasn’t taking any chances. She really, really wanted her parents to adopt a kitty, and she was willing to go to great lengths to convince them! So, she put together a very
professional and educational slideshow (幻灯片) with all the related facts. Her arguments were pretty solid!
For example, Shana explained that she wasn’t the only one in the family who would benefit from getting a kitty. All her brothers and sisters wanted one, too! Another point was her claim that “It would be so cute, please.” Additionally, she reminded her parents that they still owed her one. “Please, seriously you promised me a hamster (仓鼠) five years ago but that never happened, just let me have this,” the child wrote. She also noted that pets can help relieve stress, which was a
crucially persuasive point.
Throughout the PowerPoint, the little girl made several promises to take full responsibility for the cat’s health and well-being. She assured her parents that she had done her homework on animal care, and she understood what she was signing up for.
Dad Christopher Doyle thought that his daughter’s PowerPoint on adopting a cat was pretty clever. In fact, he thought that the little girl’s determination was so cute, he just had to post her
presentation on social media.
Would this PowerPoint be enough to earn the girl a cat In case you’re wondering, it
worked! Dad shared in a later post that the family was filling out adoption paperwork in order to bring home a kitty. Of course, this was bound to happen. After all, who could refuse such a
well-researched PowerPoint The family ended up adopting a rescue kitty, whom the kids named Oliver.
24 ．What do the underlined words “go to great lengths” mean in paragraph 1
A ．Spare no effort. B ．Go to extremes.
C ．Waste a lot of time. D ．Change her mind.
25 ．Which is the key point used by Shana to persuade her parents
A ．She has learned enough about animal care.
B ．All the family members are dying for a cat.
C ．Raising pets like cats helps reduce pressure.
D ．Her parents did owe her one pet in the past.
26 ．How did Doyle feel about his daughter’s slideshow
A ．Awkward. B ．Appreciative. C ．Surprised. D ．Curious.
27 ．What can we learn from Shana’s story
A ．Perseverance changed parents’ minds. B ．Creative solutions help to settle problems.
C ．Parents should keep promises to kids. D ．A road to success is full of ups and downs.

In the 19th century, the harp (竖琴) was Ireland’s main musical instrument, but it was
overshadowed quickly by the piano, which was stylish and easier to play. The harp’s popularity faded rapidly, highlighting how new technologies often replace old ones without much reflection. The idea is explored in Christine Rosen’s book, “The Extinction of Experience” .
Rosen, a historian, warns about social consequences of technological advancements. She
inspires readers to consider both the gains and losses when embracing new technologies. Rosen acknowledges the benefits of the internet but criticizes how old ways of doing things are dying without proper acknowledgment.
Being human involves physical interaction and complex actions, but modern technologies, like screens, require little movement and end human contact. Tasks like taking pictures can now be
done with a finger touch. Rosen argues that each activity lost takes away a small part of our
experience, leading to engineered, homogenized (同质化) behaviors. She also notes that social
media, while connecting people, can also isolate them, leading to mass loneliness. She praises the importance of activities like spending time with others, chatting with strangers, and daydreaming, which are becoming less common.
Picking up a smartphone has an opportunity cost; it loses various activities, interactions, and interests. Trading momentary boredom for screen-based pleasure can result in missed insights or recollections that could enrich one’s life. Avoiding social interactions can lead to a loss of social skills.
Rosen is particularly concerned about the shift from handwriting to typing on keyboards. Many people who learned handwriting as children find it tough to write by hand, and younger
generations can’t read or write it at all. This shift also means losing aesthetic pleasures and the benefits of small muscular movements that aid in reading and remembering information. Rosen sees the decline of handwriting as a symbol of how thoughtlessly we transition between old and new technologies.
28 ．What is the case of the harp used to prove
A ．Ireland has abandoned its cultural traditions.
B ．Tech brings about totally different experience.
C ．People’s tastes in musical instruments change quickly.
D ．Humans tend to embrace new tech without deep thought.
29 ．How does Rosen find social media
A ．They can lift people’s spirits. B ．They personalize human experience.
C ．They bond people but causing loneliness. D ．They speed meaningful human interactions.
30 ．What can be inferred about handwriting from paragraph 5
A ．Typing has more advantages over it. B ．Young generations no longer write it.
C ．It boosts abilities via physical movements. D ．It is being abandoned due to its complexity.
31 ．What is probably the best title for the text
A ．Handwriting Decline in Digital Era B ．Loss of Human Experience in Tech Age
C．The Change of Music: From Harps to Pianos D．The Rise of Innovation: Embracing a New Era
D
Many people miss the sweet, rich taste of the tomatoes they ate in childhood and wonder why store-bought ones today have little flavor. The main reason is that modern farming has
focused more on producing large amounts than on improving taste. But Chinese scientists have recently made an important discovery that may soon change this.
A team led by Professor Hang Sanwen from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has found a way to bring back the delicious flavor of tomatoes without lowering production. They discovered how to genetically “release the sugar brake” in tomatoes, making them much sweeter while still keeping high production. This breakthrough solves a long-standing problem in farming — how to achieve both good quantity and good quality.
The study began with taste tests of more than 100 types of tomatoes. Scientists identified 33 key compounds (化合物) that create flavor. They then examined these compounds in 400 tomato varieties from around the world and carried out detailed genetic research. In the process, they
found 49 genes linked to tomato flavor, including two that control sugar levels.
The key discovery is that turning off these two genes could raise sugar levels by up to 30%. More importantly, this change does not affect the tomatoes’ size, look, or production. “This result
shows the possibility of using the great genetic diversity found in wild species, which has been
partly lost in affected varieties, to improve modern ones,” said Christophe Rothan, a fruit biologist at the French National Institute of Agricultural Research.
The study comes at the right time, as more people are asking for better-tasting vegetables.
Thanks to this research, suppliers may be able to offer sweeter tomatoes without worrying about a drop in fruit weight or production. The team hopes that these improved tomatoes will hit the
market in the near future, according to the study published in Nature.
32 ．What can we learn about modern tomatoes according to paragraph 1
A ．Their quality has declined in terms of taste. B ．They are cheaper owing to mass production.
C．Their popularity increases for their large size. D．They are grown in traditional farming methods.
33 ．What was the core finding for the scientists
A ．Conducting massive taste tests. B ．Identifying 33 key flavor compounds.
C ．Analyzing global genetic variations. D ．Revealing two sugar-controlling genes.
34 ．Which statement may Christophe Rothan agree with
A ．Modern varieties are difficult to improve. B ．Genetic diversity in tomatoes is decreasing.
C ．Cultivated tomatoes are better than wild ones. D ．Wild species offer valuable genetic
resources.
35 ．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A ．To advertise a new type of tomato. B ．To criticize current farming practices.
C ．To introduce an advance in agriculture. D ．To explain the genetic makeup of tomatoes.

What’s the first thing you notice when you step into a museum Is it the long-faded colors of ancient artifacts or the sounds of visitors discussing what they see 36 Some locations might even offer an eatable treat inspired by an ancient recipe. Museums allow us to indirectly
experience the past by tapping into our primary senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste. 37
“Representations ofthe past are often scentless (无气味的), but smell probably played a huge role in many historical realities,” says Barbara Huber, an archaeologist in Germany.
38 She and her workmates tracked down some molecular (分子的) remains that can let
us smell the past. Through trial and error, they created Scent of the Afterlife, a mix of scent that would have accompanied mummification processes in ancient Egypt.
“ 39 One of the reasons is that it is incredibly hard to study. The scents and smells in the past were already gone before archaeologists could come and investigate the sites,” says
Huber. Luckily, new chemical and biomolecular methods in archaeology have kind of reopened the door to continue to study these things.
“These molecules that we detect can tell us a lot about ancient materials. At the same time, when we reconstruct them like we did with Scent of the Afterlife, we can bring a piece of the past to visitors today. 40 ” says Huber. “If you enter a room and can somehow smell how it
must have smelled in a mummification room in ancient Egypt, you’re experiencing the history in a different way. History isn’t something we only see.”
A ．It can also enrich our understanding of smells.
B ．However, more often than not, smell is missing.
C ．Smell has long been ignored in studying the past.
D ．Maybe there’s a copy of a sculpture you can touch.
E ．And the exhibit in the museum is not just a displayed object.
F ．This “aha moment” changed her attitude towards the research.
G ．The obvious absence of scent in the study of history inspired her.

Before I was hired, I was told part of my job in the pickle (腌菜) shop was to keep the conversation going with customers. I’d never been talkative, so I lied on my application,
56 (claim) I was entirely at ease talking to strangers.
Fake (假装) it till you make it and that’s 57 I did. A year later, I had no problem easing into conversations with customers. I smiled, asked about their day and made 58 (comment) on the great sale. Then I convinced them to buy our pickled garlic.
59 was here that I truly learned what self-esteem is. Previously, I had always
pictured it to be 60 quality only possessed by the skinny blonde cheerleaders. I’ve since come to understand a far 61 (broad) definition of it.
Self-esteem is knowing yourself and not being afraid to let it shine. My big smile and loud laugh, which 62 (be) once a source of embarrassment, has become my trademark.
Customers like my sincerity — I’m no 63 (robot) salesperson. Self-esteem is also not
being completely shut down by a mistake. The other day, a customer told me I was annoying.
Prior to working here, I would have broken down, 64 with new confidence, I smiled and apologized, knowing she was the exception, not the rule.
The pickle-shop self-esteem keeps motivating me 65 (excel) in college — two major club involvements and a perfect 4.0 GPA.

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。
It was an early winter morning. Joan was sleeping soundly when the phone rang in the
living room. She rolled over and glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already nine o’clock.
Every weekend morning, her mother had to work part-time in the cafe. Although Joan was still
sleepy, she knew she had to get up. After all, she didn’t expect her brother Mike, who was
sleeping like a log, to hear the phone. She quietly went over to the living room. When she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warmhearted greetings, “Good morning, my Dear!”
Recognizing the voice from her father, Joan was immediately surrounded by a sense of joy and the sleepiness swept away.
Joan’s father was a seaman, who rarely came back. Working on the sea was really hard. Born in a not-rich family, Joan and Mike felt the stress of life but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere.
“Good morning, Dad, what’s up ” Joan said in an easy tone. “I have been very nice
recently, my baby. Today is your mother’s birthday, and I have ordered her a cake online and it should come to the house in one and half an hour. Do remember to take the cake.”
Hearing her father’s words, Joan felt a little ashamed. How she could forget Mum’s
birthday! She took a glance at the dirty clothes piled on the sofa and the oily floor that hadn’t been mopped (拖地) for a few days—There was two hours before her mother came back. She
calculated they had enough time to prepare a surprise for Mum.
Thinking of this, she felt full of excitement. “Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Mike up. We will give Mum a surprise!”
Joan hung up the phone with Dad, and hurriedly went to Mike’s room to share him her Big Cleaning plan. After listening to Joan, Mike readily accepted her idea.
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。
The Big Cleaning plan began.
With the cake placed on the table, Mum came in.

W: You must have been very sad.
M: Yes. But Dr. Chang encouraged me. After the surgery, he told me immediately that he saw
positive signs. Because of his encouragement, I tried my best to recover. Just four months later, I could walk again. And I went on the stage at my high school graduation.
W: So you chose to volunteer there to spread positive attitude to other patients, right
M: Yeah. I wish to help them change their negative outlook on life. What will you do this summer, Maria

28 ．D 29 ．C 30 ．C 31 ．B
这是一篇说明文。文章以爱尔兰竖琴衰落为例，介绍历史学家罗森观点：新技术盲目取代旧事物，造成人类体验流失、社交疏离与手写能力退化。
28 ．推理判断题。根据第一段中“The harp’s popularity faded rapidly, highlighting how new
technologies often replace old ones without much reflection.(竖琴的受欢迎程度迅速下降，这凸显了新技术往往在没有充分思考的情况下取代旧技术的现象)”可推知，竖琴的例子是为了引出核心观点——人类往往不加深思就接纳新技术，忽略旧事物的价值。故选 D 项。
29 ．细节理解题。根据第三段中“She also notes that social media, while connecting people, can also isolate them, leading to mass loneliness.(她还指出，社交媒体虽然能将人们联系起来，但也可能使他们孤立，导致普遍的孤独感)”可知，罗森认为社交媒体能拉近人与人之间的距离，但也会导致孤独感。故选 C 项。
30．推理判断题。根据第五段中“This shift also means losing aesthetic pleasures and the benefits of small muscular movements that aid in reading and remembering information.(这种转变还意味着失去了审美乐趣以及有助于阅读和记忆信息的小肌肉运动带来的益处)”可推知，手写通过身体动作（小肌肉运动）带来认知上的益处。故选 C 项。
31 ．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“In the 19th century, the harp (竖琴) was Ireland’s main musical instrument, but it was overshadowed quickly by the piano, which was stylish and
easier to play. The harp’s popularity faded rapidly, highlighting how new technologies often
replace old ones without much reflection. The idea is explored in Christine Rosen’s book, “The
Extinction of Experience” .( 在 19 世纪，竖琴是爱尔兰的主要乐器，但很快就被钢琴所取代，因为钢琴款式新颖、易于演奏。竖琴的受欢迎程度迅速下降，这凸显了新技术往往在没有充分思考的情况下取代旧技术的现象。这一观点在克里斯汀·罗森的著作《经验的消亡》中有所探讨)”可知，全文围绕罗森的观点展开——技术发展导致人类体验的丧失：竖琴消失、线下互动减少、手写衰退，核心是“技术时代下人类体验的缺失” 。由此可知，这篇文本最合适的标题可能是“科技时代人类体验的丧失” 。故选 B 项。

32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Many people miss the sweet, rich taste of the tomatoes they ate in childhood and wonder why store-bought ones today have little flavor. The main reason is that
modern farming has focused more on producing large amounts than on improving taste.(许多人怀念小时候吃的番茄香甜浓郁的味道，疑惑为什么现在商店里买的番茄几乎没有味道。主要原因是现代农业更注重高产而非改善口感)”可知，现代番茄在口感品质上有所下降。故选 A。
33 ．细节理解题。根据第三段“In the process, they found 49 genes linked to tomato flavor,
including two that control sugar levels.(在此过程中，他们发现了 49 个与番茄风味相关的基因，其中两个控制糖分水平)”以及第四段“The key discovery is that turning off these two genes
could raise sugar levels by up to 30%.(关键发现是关闭这两个基因可使糖分含量提高 30%)”可知，科学家的核心发现是找到了两个控制糖分的基因。故选 D。
34．推理判断题。根据第四段“This result shows the possibility of using the great genetic diversity found in wild species, which has been partly lost in affected varieties, to improve modern ones(这一结果表明，可以利用在野生物种中发现的丰富遗传多样性来改良现代品种，这种多样性在已改良的品种已部分丧失)”包含两个并列分句，前后语义一致，均在说明野生番茄的基因资源具有重要利用价值。由此可推知，Christophe Rothan 会认同“野生品种提供了宝贵的遗传
(
”
一
)资源 这 观点。故选 D。
35 ．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段“A team led by Professor Hang Sanwen from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has found a way to bring back the delicious flavor of
tomatoes without lowering production. They discovered how to genetically “release the sugar
brake” in tomatoes, making them much sweeter while still keeping high production. This
breakthrough solves a long-standing problem in farming — how to achieve both good quantity
and good quality.(由中国农业科学院的杭三文教授领导的一个团队找到了一种既能恢复番茄原有的美味口感，又不会降低产量的方法。他们发现了如何通过基因手段“解除”番茄中的“糖分制动机制”，从而使番茄变得更加甜，同时仍能保持高产量。这一突破解决了农业领域长期以来存在的一个难题——如何在保证产量的同时保证品质)”可知，文章主要介绍了中国科学家在番茄基因改良方面的农业技术新突破，实现了高产与优质兼顾。作者旨在介绍一项农业领域的技术进展，故选 C。

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了传统博物馆主要通过视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉让人们感受历史，但嗅觉一直被忽视。德国考古学家 Barbara Huber 受此启发，利用现代分子技术复原古代气味，让参观者能通过嗅觉更真实、立体地体验历史， 使博物馆展览不再只是单纯的展品展示。
36 ．根据后文“Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past by tapping into our primary
senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste.(博物馆让我们通过调动视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉等主要感官间接体验过去。)”可知，该部分应是讲到了博物馆提供的“视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉”等感官体验，而空前内容“Is it the long-faded colors of ancient artifacts or the sounds of visitors
discussing what they see (是那些古老文物早已褪色的色彩，还是游客们讨论所见之物的声音？)”以及空后内容“Some locations might even offer an eatable treat inspired by an ancient
recipe.(有些地方甚至会提供一种源自古老食谱的可食用美食。)”涉及了“视觉”，“ 听觉”和“ 味觉”，由此推知，设空处应涉及博物馆提供的“触觉”。选项 D“Maybe there’s a copy of a sculpture you can touch.(或许这里有一件雕塑作品的复制品，你可以摸一摸。)”讲到了“触觉”，符合语境分析，前后衔接紧密。故选 D 项。
37 ．根据前文“Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past by tapping into our primary
senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste.(博物馆让我们通过调动视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉等主要感官间接体验过去。)”提出博物馆提供了“视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉”感官体验，缺少“ 嗅觉（气味）”, 由此推知，设空句应提及“ 嗅觉（气味）”, 选项 B“However, more often than not,
smell is missing.(然而，通常情况下，气味是缺失的。)”提出了“气味缺失” ，符合逻辑，且与前文构成转折，同时呼应后文“Representations ofthe past are often scentless (对过去的再现往往是没有气味的 )” 。故选 B 项。
38 ．根据前文“Representations ofthe past are often scentless (无气味的), but smell probably
played a huge role in many historical realities(对过去的再现往往是没有气味的，但气味很可能在许多历史现实中扮演了重要角色)”可知，Barbara Huber 提出“历史呈现中缺少气味，但气味很重要” ，后文“She and her workmates tracked down some molecular (分子的) remains that can let us smell the past.(她和她的同事们找到了一些分子残留物，这些残留物能够让我们闻到过去的气息。)”说 Huber和同事开始研究气味、还原气味。由此推知，设空处在两句之间应是承前启后的衔接句，即，“Huber 做气味研究的动机”。选项 G“The obvious absence of scent in the study of history inspired her.(在历史研究中那种明显缺失的“气味”给了她（研究）灵
感。)”在句意上符合分析，可衔接前后内容，且“inspired(启发)”对应后文她开展的研究。故选 G 项。
39 ．后文“One of the reasons is that it is incredibly hard to study.(其中一个原因在于，研究工作极其困难。)”解释“原因之一是研究气味非常难” ，由此推知，空处需要提出结果，与后文构成“ 因果关系” ，选项 C“Smell has long been ignored in studying the past.(气味在历史研究中长期被忽略)”讲述了结果，符合因果逻辑。故选 C 项。
40 ．前文“At the same time, when we reconstruct them like we did with Scent of the Afterlife, we can bring a piece of the past to visitors today.(与此同时，当我们像复原“来世之香”那样复原这些气味时，我们就能为今天的参观者带回一段历史。)”提及“还原气味能把过去带给游客”，由此推知，设空句紧跟其后，应继续讲述其深层意义。选项 E“And the exhibit in the museum is not just a displayed object.(而博物馆里的展品并不仅仅是一件陈列出来的物品。)”在句意上可表达出“博物馆展品具有了深层含义”，用“And”与前文构成递进关系，且呼应后文“ you’re experiencing the history in a different way. History isn’t something we only see.( 你正在以一种不同的方式去体验历史。历史并非只是我们能够亲眼目睹的事物。)” 。故选 E 项。

Protect Our Historical Sites: Leave No Trace During my holiday trip, I was shocked to see many historical sites ruined by random carving and writing. Some visitors leave their names or words on walls and statues, which greatly damages ancient buildings.
These sites are precious treasures of our culture. We must show respect to them. Many of them have a long history and carry the memories of our ancestors. I strongly appeal that everyone should behave ourselves and protect historical relics. Only in this way can we keep them well for
future generations.

The Big Cleaning plan began. Joan collected the clothes from sofa and then put them in the water of a basin. After pouring in some washing liquids, she began to wash them by hand.
Realizing the clothes were clean enough, Joan gently squeezed water out and hung them to dry.
Meanwhile, Mike was busy mopping the floor back and forth with all his strength, really aware of what hard work his Mum had at home! They had just finished the cleaning when the express boy came to the door.
With the cake placed on the table, Mum came in. “Happy birthday, Mum!”, they greeted in chorus. Confused and surprised, Mum stood frozen. When Mum realized what had happened, a warm current rose in her heart. Staring at the clean floor and the washed clothes, she could hardly contain her excitement and hugged them tightly, “It is the best birthday gift I have ever had!”
Mum said emotionally. Just then Joan took out her smartphone and took a happy video named Mum’s Birthday and sent it to Dad.
