China’s tea culture is an ancient and profound (意义深远的) cultural heritage that has been passed down and developed for thousands of years.It weaves a complicated and fascinating pattern within Chinese society.
Tea growing in China is an art form in itself.The tea-growing areas,with their special climates and lands,produce teas of exceptional quality.From the misty mountains of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan,different areas offer a rich variety of tea types.
The process of making tea is careful and detailed.It involves exact measurements of water temperature,the right amount of tea leaves,and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavour and smell.This care for details shows the Chinese people’s search for excellence in all parts of life.
Tea is not merely a beverage;it is a thing that helps social relations.It brings people together,whether in family get-togethers,friendly meetings,or business talks.The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection.And many tea houses all over the country offer places for people to relax,talk,and enjoy the peace that tea gives.Moreover,tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture.These ceremonies are complex and formal,showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions.They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process.
In addition to its social and cultural importance,tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits.It is thought to have anti-oxidant (抗氧化的) features and is linked to various good effects on physical health.
As China keeps moving forward and modernising,its tea culture is still strongly fixed,a proof of its historical and cultural importance.It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world,inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon.

Who doesn’t love a warm,delicious and satisfying meal Food is what keeps human bodies full of nutrients and it provides the energy needed to go through life.But there is more to eating than just survival.People often use food to bond with others through shared meals,food gifts and at celebrations.As is reported,food is used by people in all countries and cultures around the world as a way to come together and enjoy.
Gathering together with friends and family,or even with strangers,nourishes (滋养) more than our bodies.And what’s interesting is that it’s not necessarily the actual food that makes the meal so important.The social interaction of the meal setting encourages people to pay attention to each other and to connect.
So how can people include these important “bonding through food” practices into their lives Some suggest going out to eat with friends,family members or co-workers bi-monthly or even weekly.Going out to eat or sharing meals with others creates much deeper and more meaningful interactions when compared to other joint activities like watching a movie or TV together.
Research conducted by the University of Oxford shows that people who eat socially are more well adjusted in social and emotional settings and are more likely to feel better about themselves.And although many people eat their meals alone,76 per cent of the people questioned think sharing a meal is a good way to bring people closer.
So why is it that eating with others feels good A study conducted by the University of Chicago concludes that it is all about trust.According to the research,food helps develop trust since eating the same food together with someone else suggests that both parties are willing to bring the same thing into their bodies.It’s only natural that trust and cooperation are likely to develop as a result of this bonding experience.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要探讨了食物在人类社交中的重要作用,以及如何通过共享食物来建立密切联系和信任。
(　　)28.What is the purpose of sharing meals beyond survival
[A] To provide energy for the body.
[B] To bring people together socially.
[C] To serve as a form of entertainment.
[D] To celebrate personal achievements.
(　　)29.What can we know from Paragraph 2
[A] Social interaction during meals is significant.
[B] Meals are primarily for nutritional purposes.
[C] The food itself is the most important aspect.
[D] Eating alone is more beneficial than sharing meals.
(　　)30.How can people put “bonding through food” into practice
[A] By sharing food gifts more often.
[B] By watching movies or TV together.
[C] By spending more time with the family.
[D] By eating together with others regularly.
(　　)31.Why does sharing meals feel good
[A] Because it provides a sense of belonging.
[B] Because it offers an opportunity for relaxation.
[C] Because it develops trust between individuals.
[D] Because it allows for the sharing of diverse opinions.
D
Plants cannot run or hide,so they need other strategies to avoid being eaten.Some curl up their leaves,others produce chemicals to make themselves taste bad if they sense animals drooling over them,chewing them up or laying eggs on them—all signals of an attack.New research now shows that some flora can feel a plant-eating animal well before it launches an attack,letting a plant prepare a preemptive (先发制人的) defense that even works against other pest species.
When ecologist John Orrock of the University of Wisconsin-Madison sprayed snail slime—a liquid the animals release as they slide along—onto soil,nearby tomato plants appeared to notice.They increased their levels of an enzyme (酶),which is known to prevent plant-eating animals.“None of the plants were ever actually attacked,”Orrock says.“We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming,and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.”
Initially Orrock found this defense worked against snails.In the latest study,his team measured the slimy warning’s impact on another potential threat.The investigators found that hungry caterpillars (毛虫),which usually eat tomato leaves greedily,had no appetite for them after the plants were exposed to snail slime and activated their chemical resistance.This nonspecific defense may be a strategy that benefits the plants by further improving their overall possibilities of survival,says Orrock,who reported the results with his colleagues in March in Oecologia.
The finding that a snail’s approach can cause a plant response that affects a different animal made Richard Karban curious,a plant communications expert,who was not involved in the study.“It is significant that the plants are responding before being damaged and that these cues are having such far-ranging effects,” Karban says.“The research was comprehensive,” he adds.But he wonders how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slime that never actually touched them.
“That’s the million-dollar question,” Orrock says.He hopes future research will make out the mechanisms that enable plants to sense these relatively distant cues.
(　　)32.Why did John Orrock spray a liquid onto soil near tomato plants
[A] To make them grow better.
[B] To give them a warning.
[C] To keep plant-eating animals away.
[D] To inform plant-eating animals of danger.
(　　)33.Why is the example of caterpillars mentioned in Paragraph 3
[A] To introduce another animal.
[B] To appeal to people to protect animals.
[C] To confirm the result of the study.
[D] To analyse different resistance chemicals.
(　　)34.What does Richard Karban really want to know
[A] How tomato plants become aware of danger.
[B] What the chemicals in the snail slime are.
[C] Whether the research is of practical value.
[D] What the finding of the research is.
(　　)35.What can be a suitable title of the text
[A] A Snail’s Approach
[B] Greedy Animals
[C] Watchful Plants
[D] A Defense Attack

What to Do When You Fail in Life
Most people are afraid of failure.The truth is that everyone,including all successful people,has ever failed time after time and will fail again.36.　　
Learn from it.
No matter how hard you try to avoid it,failure will happen.Having a no-fear attitude
towards failure does not mean you should expect to fail,but accept it when it happens.37.　　　 Failure makes us rethink,reconsider,and find new ways and strategies to achieve our goals.
Through failure,we will get to know ourselves better.
Stop fearing it.
38.　　　 You are supposed to push yourself to go to the limits.When you have a no-fear attitude and accept failure willingly,your determination can be made the best use of.
Let go of your self-worth.
When your self-worth is in charge,you will not learn from the mistakes you have made,be open to other people’s views or see the situations clearly.39.　　 We need to learn,evaluate,
and listen to other people if we want to see what needs to change in order to succeed.
Improve your mood (情绪) and cheer up again.
We all feel upset after having failed,which is natural,human,and unavoidable.But how we respond to our failures is what decides our road to success.One way of improving your mood is listing the things you are grateful for at the moment,which will strengthen your positive emotions.40.　　
A.There is value in failure.
B.The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
C.The ordinary people experience failure,too.
D.It always tends to get in the way of you and your success.
E.In order to reach your personal best,you don’t need to fear failure.
F.So do not be afraid of failure,which is a part of your road to success.
G.Reading stories of successful people is another way to help us cheer up and move on.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Midnight Rescue
It was not uncommon to carry out tasks at night as rescuers.Harry and David were informed of their task when it was nearly midnight.It was urgent so there was no time to hesitate.They headed into the forest.
The forest was black and silent.A little way into it,they reached a fork in the earth path.
Harry and David took the left path.They walked in silence,their eyes on the ground,watching out for the traps like big pits (深坑) set by the illegal hunters.Every now and then a ray of moonlight through the branches above lit a spot of scarlet (猩红的) blood on the fallen leaves.
David saw that Harry looked very worried,asking,“Could Unicorn be hurt that badly ” Harry answered,“If we can’t find it as soon as possible,it won’t have much chance of survival.” Of course,Unicorn was not the animal in fairy tales but the nickname of a 3-year-old elephant,the last wild elephant in this forest.The nickname was given by the biodiversity rescuers who were protecting every member in this forest.They knew Unicorn was obedient and not afraid of human beings and that sometimes put it in danger.“Without it,the forest was not complete.Those illegal hunters should be thrown into prison,” Harry thought,carrying his first-aid kit (急救箱) on his back and walking forward with his flashlight.
It seemed that thick fog would come at any time,which would increase the danger.Harry hurried into the heart of the forest with David.They walked for nearly half an hour,deeper and deeper.There were blood splashes (血迹) on the roots of a tree,as though the poor creature had been struggling in pain nearby.“We must hurry up,”said Harry.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
However,it was really not easy for them to find it.
Paragraph 2:
Without delay,Harry knelt down to do first aid on its wound with David holding the flashlight. 核心素养提升(Unit 6)

China’s tea culture is an ancient and profound (意义深远的) cultural heritage that has been passed down and developed for thousands of years.It weaves a complicated and fascinating pattern within Chinese society.
Tea growing in China is an art form in itself.The tea-growing areas,with their special climates and lands,produce teas of exceptional quality.From the misty mountains of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan,different areas offer a rich variety of tea types.
The process of making tea is careful and detailed.It involves exact measurements of water temperature,the right amount of tea leaves,and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavour and smell.This care for details shows the Chinese people’s search for excellence in all parts of life.
Tea is not merely a beverage;it is a thing that helps social relations.It brings people together,whether in family get-togethers,friendly meetings,or business talks.The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection.And many tea houses all over the country offer places for people to relax,talk,and enjoy the peace that tea gives.Moreover,tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture.These ceremonies are complex and formal,showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions.They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process.
In addition to its social and cultural importance,tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits.It is thought to have anti-oxidant (抗氧化的) features and is linked to various good effects on physical health.
As China keeps moving forward and modernising,its tea culture is still strongly fixed,a proof of its historical and cultural importance.It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world,inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon.

Who doesn’t love a warm,delicious and satisfying meal Food is what keeps human bodies full of nutrients and it provides the energy needed to go through life.But there is more to eating than just survival.People often use food to bond with others through shared meals,food gifts and at celebrations.As is reported,food is used by people in all countries and cultures around the world as a way to come together and enjoy.
Gathering together with friends and family,or even with strangers,nourishes (滋养) more than our bodies.And what’s interesting is that it’s not necessarily the actual food that makes the meal so important.The social interaction of the meal setting encourages people to pay attention to each other and to connect.
So how can people include these important “bonding through food” practices into their lives Some suggest going out to eat with friends,family members or co-workers bi-monthly or even weekly.Going out to eat or sharing meals with others creates much deeper and more meaningful interactions when compared to other joint activities like watching a movie or TV together.
Research conducted by the University of Oxford shows that people who eat socially are more well adjusted in social and emotional settings and are more likely to feel better about themselves.And although many people eat their meals alone,76 per cent of the people questioned think sharing a meal is a good way to bring people closer.
So why is it that eating with others feels good A study conducted by the University of Chicago concludes that it is all about trust.According to the research,food helps develop trust since eating the same food together with someone else suggests that both parties are willing to bring the same thing into their bodies.It’s only natural that trust and cooperation are likely to develop as a result of this bonding experience.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要探讨了食物在人类社交中的重要作用,以及如何通过共享食物来建立密切联系和信任。
(　　)28.What is the purpose of sharing meals beyond survival
[A] To provide energy for the body.

(　　)29.What can we know from Paragraph 2

【答案】 C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容,尤其是第二句可知,芝加哥大学的一项研究得出结论:与他人一起用餐感觉很好是因为信任。故选C。
D
Plants cannot run or hide,so they need other strategies to avoid being eaten.Some curl up their leaves,others produce chemicals to make themselves taste bad if they sense animals drooling over them,chewing them up or laying eggs on them—all signals of an attack.New research now shows that some flora can feel a plant-eating animal well before it launches an attack,letting a plant prepare a preemptive (先发制人的) defense that even works against other pest species.
When ecologist John Orrock of the University of Wisconsin-Madison sprayed snail slime—a liquid the animals release as they slide along—onto soil,nearby tomato plants appeared to notice.They increased their levels of an enzyme (酶),which is known to prevent plant-eating animals.“None of the plants were ever actually attacked,”Orrock says.“We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming,and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.”
Initially Orrock found this defense worked against snails.In the latest study,his team measured the slimy warning’s impact on another potential threat.The investigators found that hungry caterpillars (毛虫),which usually eat tomato leaves greedily,had no appetite for them after the plants were exposed to snail slime and activated their chemical resistance.This nonspecific defense may be a strategy that benefits the plants by further improving their overall possibilities of survival,says Orrock,who reported the results with his colleagues in March in Oecologia.
The finding that a snail’s approach can cause a plant response that affects a different animal made Richard Karban curious,a plant communications expert,who was not involved in the study.“It is significant that the plants are responding before being damaged and that these cues are having such far-ranging effects,” Karban says.“The research was comprehensive,” he adds.But he wonders how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slime that never actually touched them.
“That’s the million-dollar question,” Orrock says.He hopes future research will make out the mechanisms that enable plants to sense these relatively distant cues.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的科学研究。研究表明植物对外在威胁相当警觉,会自动作出反应进行自我保护。
(　　)32.Why did John Orrock spray a liquid onto soil near tomato plants
[A] To make them grow better.
[B] To give them a warning.
[C] To keep plant-eating animals away.
[D] To inform plant-eating animals of danger.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可推知,John Orrock在西红柿植株附近的泥土上喷洒液体的目的是给予植物一种警告。故选B。
(　　)33.Why is the example of caterpillars mentioned in Paragraph 3
[A] To introduce another animal.
[B] To appeal to people to protect animals.
[C] To confirm the result of the study.
[D] To analyse different resistance chemicals.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可推知,本段提到毛虫的例子是为了验证研究的结果。故选C。
(　　)34.What does Richard Karban really want to know
[A] How tomato plants become aware of danger.
[B] What the chemicals in the snail slime are.
[C] Whether the research is of practical value.
[D] What the finding of the research is.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可推知,Richard Karban实际上想了解的是西红柿植株是如何意识到危险的。故选A。
(　　)35.What can be a suitable title of the text
[A] A Snail’s Approach
[B] Greedy Animals
[C] Watchful Plants
[D] A Defense Attack
【答案】 C
【解析】 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述的是有关植物的科学研究,研究表明植物对外在威胁相当警觉,会自动作出反应进行自我保护。因此,C项最适合作为本文的标题。故选C。

Through failure,we will get to know ourselves better.
Stop fearing it.
38.　　　 You are supposed to push yourself to go to the limits.When you have a no-fear attitude and accept failure willingly,your determination can be made the best use of.

and listen to other people if we want to see what needs to change in order to succeed.
Improve your mood (情绪) and cheer up again.

A.There is value in failure.
B.The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
C.The ordinary people experience failure,too.
D.It always tends to get in the way of you and your success.

A Midnight Rescue
It was not uncommon to carry out tasks at night as rescuers.Harry and David were informed of their task when it was nearly midnight.It was urgent so there was no time to hesitate.They headed into the forest.
The forest was black and silent.A little way into it,they reached a fork in the earth path.
Harry and David took the left path.They walked in silence,their eyes on the ground,watching out for the traps like big pits (深坑) set by the illegal hunters.Every now and then a ray of moonlight through the branches above lit a spot of scarlet (猩红的) blood on the fallen leaves.
David saw that Harry looked very worried,asking,“Could Unicorn be hurt that badly ” Harry answered,“If we can’t find it as soon as possible,it won’t have much chance of survival.” Of course,Unicorn was not the animal in fairy tales but the nickname of a 3-year-old elephant,the last wild elephant in this forest.The nickname was given by the biodiversity rescuers who were protecting every member in this forest.They knew Unicorn was obedient and not afraid of human beings and that sometimes put it in danger.“Without it,the forest was not complete.Those illegal hunters should be thrown into prison,” Harry thought,carrying his first-aid kit (急救箱) on his back and walking forward with his flashlight.
It seemed that thick fog would come at any time,which would increase the danger.Harry hurried into the heart of the forest with David.They walked for nearly half an hour,deeper and deeper.There were blood splashes (血迹) on the roots of a tree,as though the poor creature had been struggling in pain nearby.“We must hurry up,”said Harry.

　　One possible version:
However,it was really not easy for them to find it.That’s because thick fog came,covering almost everything.They had to bend down to search for clues like blood splashes or footprints,which made them walk more slowly,ears sharper than usual.Suddenly,painful roars came to the rescuers and in front of them lay the young elephant.“Look! Unicorn!” Harry rushed forward,crying excitedly.It looked exhausted because a wound on its left front leg was bleeding badly.
Without delay,Harry knelt down to do first aid on its wound with David holding the flashlight.Fortunately,everything needed was available in the first-aid kit.Calmly and skillfully,Harry conducted an operation on Unicorn immediately,and it seemed more obedient than before.Therefore,it didn’t take much time for Harry to stop the bleeding as an experienced rescuer.And after a while,Unicorn was able to stand up and walked away.It was rescued!Waving goodbye to it,Harry and David felt relieved.At this moment,the whole forest woke up,the moonlight fading while the winds were singing,welcoming the dawn.
