“A hero is any person who is really keen on making the society a better place for all people.” Every time I read the quote, I always have the Australian micro-influencer Tennilles_deals in mind.
Who exactly is Tennilles_deals Firstly, she’s the Mother Teresa of Aussie supermarkets, committed and self-giving. Secondly, I don’t know anything about her personally because this content creator doesn’t market herself like average influencers. She lets her work speak for itself.
The work in question She posts weekly uploads of supermarket walk-through videos where she carefully goes through major supermarkets to show what’s on special that week. Her gentle voice and steady hand accompany you through a sea of yellow price tags which signal special promotions or deals. It’s detailed, thoughtful, and necessary work.
Even today, I still remember how I used to eagerly wait for the catalogues (目录) from my favorite supermarkets every Monday. Nothing can outshine the feeling of a hard-to-find European snack or a new washing machine with a 75% discount. For me, browsing (浏览) a supermarket catalogue produces a pleasure: the anticipation of what could soon be yours. But the days of glancing through paper catalogues are over. That’s why Tennilles_deals is so important, giving us tight, three-minute videos that provide us with a 360-degree view of each product: a walking, talking catalogue.
There’s a reason that Tennilles_deals has almost 100,000 followers. What Tennilles_deals is doing is building community. One fan comments that she should have been awarded “the Australian of the Year”, and my only way to give credit to her is via this public essay.
4. What distinguishes Tennilles_deals from typical influencers
A．Her unique marketing style.
B．Her practical video content.
C．Her focus on personal brand.
D．Her choice of supermarkets.
5. What is the theme of Tennilles_deals’ videos
A．The operation of supermarkets.
B．The presentation of new products.
C．The display of discounted items.
D．The exposure of product packaging.
6. Why does the author value Tennilles_deals’ videos
A．They teach useful video creating strategies.
B．They provide new perspectives on the goods.
C．They replace the need to visit physical stores.
D．They bring back the joy of catalogue browsing.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text
A．To praise Tennilles_deals’ selfless contribution.
B．To vote Tennilles_deals the Australian of the Year.
C．To defend Tennilles_deals against online criticism.
D．To show shift from paper catalogues to digital ones.
C
Currently, most packaging is single-use and is made with plastic materials obtained from nonrenewable resources like fossil oil that take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. On top of this, only 9% of plastic is recycled. This has resulted in the formation of floating piles of plastic garbage in the ocean, called “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch”. Perhaps the biggest contributor to plastic waste, at least in the United States, is plastic bags, the kind found at most stores. These bags, while sometimes recycled, are often only used once and can be found littered throughout the environment.
To address this problem, Srinivas Janaswamy from South Dakota State University is working towards developing a plastic-like bag that will break down in the environment. The key ingredient of Janaswamy’s work Cellulose (纤维素) . It’s a common organic substance on Earth and is found, primarily, in the cell walls of plants. Cellulose gives plants structural strength and firmness thanks to its chemical makeup and long, chain-like form. “By obtaining cellulose from agricultural products, value-added products can be created,” Janaswamy said.
Janaswamy then met Anne Fennell, a leading researcher in the study of grapevines (葡萄藤) which are rich in cellulose. Every year, after the majority of new branches on the vine are cut off, they are either cut into pieces and buried in the soil or burned in some areas. “Since grapevines are plentiful and have insignificant use after harvest, why not use this for value-added films (薄膜) ” Janaswamy thought.
Janaswamy’s idea led to cooperation, and soon he was getting cellulose which looks almost like cotton — from grapevines. Janaswamy’s grapevine films are transparent (透明的) and strong, and break down within 17 days in the soil — leaving behind no harmful remains. “High transparency enhances product visibility and allows a quick check of the quality without even opening the package. These films demonstrate excellent promise for food packaging, ” Fennell said.
8. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch” in Paragraph 1
A．The severe plastic pollution.
B．The limits of recycling technology.
C．The improper shopping habits.
D．The promise of renewable resources.
9. Why is cellulose essential to Janaswamy’s plastic-like bags
A．It can be found everywhere.
B．It can be recycled from food waste.
C．It helps form strong structures.
D．It breaks down into usable materials.
10. What advantage of the grapevine films does Fennell highlight in the last paragraph
A．Their low expenses.
B．Their user-friendliness.
C．Their easy production.
D．Their energy-efficiency.
11. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage
A．The Plastic Pollution in the Pacific Ocean
B．The Treatment of Grapevines After Harvest
C．Cellulose: A Vital Organic Substance in Plant
D．Grapevine Films: Eco-Friendly Plastic Alternative
D
A friend recently sent me a video about running a modern game on an old television by YouTuber Any Austin. I thought it’d be silly. But after playing for a little bit, Any Austin realized that, once you get used to it, playing a modern game on an old TV just doesn’t feel that different. Sure, there were annoyances — certain things were cropped off the screen — but for the most part, the game was just as fun as on a contemporary one.
The psychological phenomenon, known as hedonic adaptation or hedonic treadmill (享乐跑步机) , has been documented since at least the 1970s. The process of hedonic adaptation is conceptualized as a treadmill, since no matter how hard one tries to be happier, one remains in the same place. There may be a sudden, large increase in happiness after a wedding, a promotion at work, or buying a new TV, but that is ephemeral — people tend to eventually return to their previous levels of happiness. The same thing is true about negative life changes.
The hedonic adaptation process generally involves cognitive changes, such as shifting values and goals. It can also be driven by the tendency of humans to construct complex reasoning for considering themselves deprived (被剥夺的) through a process social theorist Gregg Easterbrook calls “abundance denial”. Additionally, neurochemical (神经化学的) processes might reduce the activity of overstimulated hedonic pathways in the brain, which prevents constantly high levels of intense positive or negative feelings.
The same psychological principle is at work when you play games on an old TV. Purchasing your dream TV may initially boost your happiness, making games more enjoyable. However, your satisfaction will eventually return to its baseline level. Later, upon learning of a newer model, you may make another purchase to regain that initial boost.
So spending more time thinking about how much you enjoy the things you already have can help sustain satisfaction longer. The key isn’t to avoid technology but to realize how quickly we get used to improvements.
12. What did Any Austin think of playing the game on an old TV
A．Pleasant.
B．Demanding.
C．Simple.
D．Depressing.
13. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Consistent.
B．Temporary.
C．Predictable.
D．Dominant.
14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The neurochemical factors in emotion regulation.
B．The different theories proposed by social theorists.
C．The emotional consequence of hedonic treadmill.
D．The underlying mechanism of hedonic adaptation.
15. What is the author’s suggestion on resisting the desire for new things
A．Rejecting advanced electronics.
B．Purchasing fewer products.
C．Appreciating current possessions.
D．Upgrading existing facilities.

Instant noodles, a food that holds unique emotional value for many, have experienced a remarkable transformation in modern diets. Initially created to provide quick meals, they offered an economical, long-lasting solution for times when cooking wasn’t practical. ____16____ Their core value was to satisfy hunger quickly and cheaply, with taste being a secondary consideration to function and cost.
Today, consumers are paying closer attention to labels and actively seeking cleaner ingredients when making food choices. As a result, traditional instant noodles are increasingly viewed as outdated or even unhealthy. ____17____ Consumers can choose takeout or ready-to-cook meals, which typically offer a more favorable mix of convenience and nutrition compared to traditional instant noodles.
____18____ Some brands offer organic, low-additive, or entirely plant-based options, while others focus on eco-friendly packaging. High-end instant noodle lines, often inspired by regional cuisines, are also gaining popularity, turning a basic snack into a dining pleasure.

To enjoy them more mindfully, try boosting their nutritional value by adding fresh vegetables, eggs, or meat, and using only half or less of the seasoning packet (调料包) to reduce salt and additives. ____19____
In conclusion, the story of instant noodles is one of adaptation as well as a reminder to make thoughtful food choices in our fast-paced lives. ____20____ As technology advances and consumer expectations rise, the next generation of instant meals will likely be tastier, cleaner, and more sustainable. Yet sometimes all we really need is a warm bowl of comfort — prepared wisely.
A．Several factors have made them less popular lately.
B．Therefore, they were criticized for being unhealthy.
C．In response, demand has moved towards healthier choices.

47. 阅读下面短文，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。
With the start of new school, freshmen of Hendersonville High School in Nashville were excited to meet new classmates and teachers. However, I was feeling very nervous because my right hand had never fully formed since I was born. Going to a new school and being “different” is always scary. I was particularly concerned about what my classmates would think of me.
My parents had trained me to use my left hand from an early age. As I grew up, I was accustomed to not using my right hand. I could write with my left one and do some things with special tricks or techniques. Despite this, in the first days of new school, I always felt like hiding my underdeveloped right hand in my sleeve (袖子) as if nobody would ever find it out.
It didn’t take long before Jeff Wilkins, the teacher of my engineering class, learned my secret and decided to do something. Jeff had been leading a robotics project in the school and was expert in 3D printing technology. Besides, he hoped to take advantage of this hands-on chance to help his robotics students learn more about engineering and how building a robotic hand worked.
So in his class, Jeff announced with great enthusiasm, “You’re supposed to be engineering, coming up with new ideas and solving issues. Now your new classmate needs a new hand so we’ll work together to build a robotic hand.” His words fueled everyone’s curiosity and creativity.
For the next four weeks, Jeff and the whole class including me worked on the project. After some precise measurements and in-depth research, the class put forward a design draft. Jeff made a few adjustments and gave us some practical suggestions. With access to online models and a 3D printer, we eventually created a robotic hand, which was intended to look good and catch something like a ball.
