第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
As the global population is projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, the challenge rests in producing enough food while minimizing environmental harm. Here are some creative approaches to sustainable agriculture.
PRECISION AGRICULTURE
Precision agriculture uses technology such as GPS, drones (无人机), and sensors to monitor and manage crops with high accuracy. By applying water, fertilizers, and pest (害虫)control products only where and when needed, farmers can lower costs, improve output and minimize the environmental impact of farming practices.
VERTICAL (垂直的) FARMING
Vertical farming involves growing crops in multiple layers, often in controlled indoor environments. This method uses less land and water than traditional farming and can be used in urban areas, reducing the need for transportation. Although energy use remains a concern, renewable energy sources can make vertical farming more sustainable.
REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE
Regenerative agriculture focuses on restoring soil health and improving ecosystems. Practices such as planting cover crops, less digging, and planting trees with crops help absorb carbon, hold water, and support biodiversity. These methods not only benefit the environment but also enhance long-term farm productivity.
CROP DIVERSIFICATION
Relying on a limited number of crops can lead to soil damage and weakness to pests and diseases. Crop diversification, which involves planting a variety of crops, improves soil health, reduces risks, and enhances biodiversity. This approach is particularly important for adapting to climate change.
As the world faces the challenges of feeding a growing population as well as protecting the planet,sustainable agriculture offers a path forward. By adopting creative methods and rethinking traditional practices, humanity can ensure food security while safeguarding the environment for future generations.
21. Which of the following is suitable for urban environments
A．Precision agriculture. B．Vertical farming. C．Regenerative agriculture. D．Crop diversification.
22. What is one of the benefits of crop diversification
A．Reducing waste. B．Using less land. C．Controlling pests. D．Protecting soil health.
23. Why does the author introduce sustainable farming methods
A．To advocate environmental protection. B．To promote the use of renewable energy.
C．To support people with less environmental harm. D．To illustrate the concept of food and land security.
B
A few months into my first year of teaching middle-school English, I carefully structured the class time for silent, light-dimmed independent reading. Most of the students were buried in a novel at their desks. But six or seven kids would just be window-staring or doodling (涂鸦), the book lying sad and forgotten before them.
I saw their resistance to reading as both a teaching challenge and a personal offence. I tried “sticks and carrots” method: assigning mini book reports and giving nonreaders bad grades as punishment, creating whole-class reading challenges with pizza parties as rewards and offering graphic novels and magazines to encourage them. None worked. Instead, nonreaders hated reading and me more.
The problem kept me awake. Then I remembered my 11th-grade English teacher, Ms. Germanas. She had made the whole class read The Scarlet Letter by having everyone sit in a circle and read aloud each afternoon. Though no one enjoyed the novel, we finished it. This went against my goal of fostering independent-minded students driven by love for literature and human connection, but I had to change. I abandoned independent reading and decided to read a book together as a class.
That Friday, students found desks in a circle, each with a copy of Of Mice and Men written by Steinbeck. I told them we’d read aloud page by page. It worked. Gradually, nonreaders stopped staring or doodling. A few weeks later, even the most inveterate (积习难改的) nonreader listened, followed the book, and mouthed the words.
I taught English for another decade after that class. Each year, although I was asked to spend less time on literature, more time training students to hunt down main ideas of the text, I refused and kept reading novels aloud. I’ll never forget the dark, quiet classroom when we reached the tragic final pages of Steinbeck’s classic. There seemed to be very little happening in the world outside the windows.
24. Why does the author mention his early teaching experience
A．To express his complaints. B．To arouse readers’ sympathy.
C．To present his puzzlement. D．To inform readers of a finding.
25. How did the author try to deal with the students’ resistance to reading
A．Punishing nonreaders with low marks. B．Treating top students to pizzas.
C．Rewarding top students with magazines. D．Assigning nonreaders more reports.
26. What did the writer learn from Ms. Germanas
A．Focusing on literature. B．Reading aloud together.
C．Searching for main ideas. D．Highlighting independent reading.
27. What does the underlined sentence imply
A．The students’ reading ability improved. B．The students’ interests have changed.
C．The students were absorbed in reading. D．The students preferred tragic novels.
C
Dark chocolate, mainly solid cocoa, is widely believed to be a healthier treat, often credited with benefits like lowering blood pressure and boosting brainpower. These claims are largely linked to flavanols (黄烷醇), compounds abundant in cocoa. However, a closer look at the scientific evidence suggests that we should be careful about eating dark chocolate.
While some short-term studies, frequently funded by chocolate companies, suggested potential advantages, their results have been inconsistent. More importantly, they are too brief to reveal the long-term effects of regular consumption. Observational studies, which simply note correlations (相关性), found that people who eat more dark chocolate tend to be healthier. But this could be because they often have higher incomes and better overall lifestyles, not because of the chocolate itself.
To settle the debate, a big randomized experiment was conducted. It involved older adults who took daily cocoa-flavanol supplements for several years. The findings were clear: the flavanols made no significant difference to the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. There was one positive note — a reduction in cardiovascular (心血管的) deaths — but this single outcome is not solid proof of benefit.
Crucially, obtaining a high share of flavanols from commercial dark chocolate introduces serious disadvantages. To counter cocoa’s bitterness, manufacturers add large amounts of sugar. It means a person would also consume a substantial portion of the daily recommended limit of fat, which is known to raise cholesterol (胆固醇) and harm heart health. A far healthier way to get flavanols is from foods like apples, nuts, strawberries, or green tea.
Ultimately, the celebrated health benefits of dark chocolate appear to be rooted more in marketing and wishful thinking than in robust science. While enjoying it as an occasional treat is fine, relying on it as a health food is misguided. True wellness comes from a balanced diet rich in various fruits, vegetables, and beans—not from a single, sugary treat.
28. What is a common belief about dark chocolate
A．It has inconsistent benefits. B．Its benefits come at a high cost.
C．It contributes to physical health. D．Its advantages rely on long-term intake.
29. What is a result of taking in flavanols from dark chocolate
A．Faster fat burning. B．Resistance to cholesterol.
C．Reduction of cancer risks. D．Increase in sugar consumption.
30. What does the underlined word “robust” in the last paragraph mean
A．Basic. B．Solid. C．Advanced. D．Emerging.
31. Which is the best title for the text
A．The Bitter Truth About Dark Chocolate B．A Guide to Choosing Healthy Chocolate
C．The Impact of Flavanols on Your Health D．Marketing vs. Science in the Food Industry
D
Gen Z is changing the rules of work, and the results are redefining what professional success looks like in 2025. According to a new Glassdoor report, “career minimalism” is at the heart of this shift.
In Glassdoor’s survey of more than 1,000 U. S. professionals, a striking 68% of Gen Z respondents said they wouldn’t pursue management if it weren’t for paycheck or title, signaling a rejection of the traditional corporate climb favored by previous generations and a belief that management is something of a poisonous chalice (圣杯).
The survey, however, is somewhat at odds with other data collected by Glassdoor. Daniel Zhao, chief economist for the company, told Fortune that an earlier report had found Gen Z entering the ranks of management at the same rates as older generations did. “Management is not for everybody, and that’s okay,” he said, “but it is still seen as the best path for climbing the career ladder.”
What the new survey suggests is that management is now seen as a career-ladder move, not something good in its own right. Gen Z approaches life’s traditional milestones with “reasoned skepticism”. They are hungry for coaching and welcome in-office collaboration yet also desire the death of the nine-to-five mentality and embrace flexibility.
If Gen Z isn’t less ambitious yet isn’t thrilled about corporate management, where’s that energy going The report cited Harris Poll findings that 57% of Gen Z currently have a side hustle (副业) compared to 48% of millennials and 31% of Gen Xers.
Side hustles are central to Gen Z’s identity, offering creative or activist outlets that main jobs cannot supply. For many, the “day job” simply finances the “passion project” — as one Glassdoor community member put it: “I always joke that I don’t dream of labor… If people were truly passionate about their job, it wouldn’t pay anything. Passion is for your five-nine after the nine-five.”
When Gen Zers do move into management, Glassdoor finds that they’ re rewriting the traditional book. Gen Z is reconsidering what it means to be successful at work in this moment. They’ re not rejecting ambition — they’ re redirecting it toward sustainable career paths that prioritize both financial security and personal fulfillment.
32. Why is Daniel Zhao quoted in paragraph 3
A．To draw attention to a new concept. B．To confirm the accuracy of the report.
C．To raise awareness of a worrying trend. D．To offer another perspective on the survey.
33. What might a typical Gen Zer do
A．Make critical remarks. B．Leave work no later than 5.
C．Seek guidance from seniors. D．Avoid working with colleagues.
34. What factors may Gen Z consider in side hustles
A．High pay and grand titles. B．Short hours and easy work.
C．Personal identity and flexibility. D．Benefits and working conditions.
35. What is the professional success defined by Gen Z
A．Earning money with meaning. B．Winning power through effort.
C．Dropping promotion for hobbies. D．Staying put for financial security.

Dear Fellow Students,
Now many of us spend too much time on social media. It makes us unable to focus on study and weakens our real-life relationships.
To change this, we should set a time limit for using social media. Try to do more outdoor activities and communicate face to face with friends.
Let’s put down our phones and enjoy a healthier life.
