How to Read Codes on Canned Foods
While there is no standard marking system for canned foods, many companies use similar codes to track their products. Learning to understand the most common date codes helps you make sure your canned foods stay fresh and safe to eat. Some canned foods have a clear “use by” date printed on the can or its label. For those without such a date, you can usually find a coded date on the top or bottom of the can and decode it as follows.
Step 1 — Check the first character
Check the first number or letter in the code. Numbers 1 to 9 often stand for the months from January to September in order. On many cans, the letter O usually means October, N stands for November, and D represents December.
Step 2 — Try the alphabetical system
Simply match letters A to L with the months January through December in alphabetical order. Some companies use this way of coding to mark months. You need to be careful when decoding these marks if you want to confirm the exact month. D may mean April or December, depending on the coding system the producer uses.
Step 3 — Read the day and year
Work out the numbers to find the specific date and year. Many companies use two digits after the first character in the code for the day, and one digit for the year. The digit for the year is normally the last digit of that year. For example, the year mark for 2011 would be 1.
Step 4 — Try a Julian date
Find the corresponding (相应的) Julian date from the code if the numbers cannot be read as month, day and year. A Julian date shows which day it is in a whole year. For example, Jan. 1 would be 1 and Dec. 31 would be 365 if a Julian date is used.
21．What do we know about the coding systems in Step 1 and Step 2
A．They use numbers for days. B．Months are coded randomly.
C．Letters are used to mark months. D．They follow the same coding rules.
22．What number represents Feb. 10 if a Julian date is used
A．10. B．41. C．102. D．210.
23．Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from
A．Everyday Health. B．Green Life.
C．Money Smart. D．Home Improvement.
B
Walk into a standard supermarket and you’ll quickly be presented with a wide range of unhealthy, ultra-processed (超加工的) options which are often too inviting to ignore. In fact, many leading experts say the food environment — such as the way food is produced, marketed and sold — is influencing consumers to make unhealthy choices.
The food environment itself is part of the problem, much of which is designed to prioritize profit. Franco Sassi, a researcher at Imperial College, said that while individuals feel as though they can choose what they buy and eat, the evidence paints a distinct picture.
What makes this particularly troubling is that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are adjusted by producers to make them as irresistible as possible. This is despite the increasing understanding of the link between UPFs and negative health outcomes.
Stating this clearly on food labels can drive behavioral change. In 2016, Chile introduced black warning labels for food high in sugar, salt or calories, leading to a 23.8% drop in purchases of high-calorie products. Likewise, many European countries adopt the “Nutri-score”, a front-of-pack labeling system originating in France. It uses colored letters ranging from the healthiest dark green A to the least healthy red E, designed to help consumers make better-informed food choices.
The Nutri-score came about after several large-scale studies by nutrition scientist Touvier and colleagues showing associations between nutritional quality and negative health outcomes, including cancer. This sparked widespread media debate, she says, leading to public perception that people “were being poisoned” by the food industry, which in turn increased pressure on food companies to make changes.
In response, some producers decreased the percentage of sugar in their products and shifted from refined grains to whole-grain flours. Supermarkets also promoted healthier products, which increased sales of “Nutri-score A” products and decreased sales of “E” products, says Touvier. Consequently, Nutri-score labelling has been shown to change consumer behavior too.
24．What does Franco Sassi imply
A．Food markets ignore economic benefits.
B．Consumers lack freedom in food selection.
C．Shoppers have some knowledge of food risks.
D．Scientific evidence contradicts experts’ views.
25．What are UPFs specially made to do
A．Lower market costs. B．Reduce health risks.
C．Lift nutritional values. D．Draw more customers.
26．What can we know about the measures mentioned in paragraph 4
A．They cease selling unhealthy foods.
B．They use the same grading standards.
C．They adopt striking marks to warn people.
D．They force people to buy nutritious foods.
27．What does the last paragraph show about the Nutri-score
A．Its chain effect. B．Its future trend.
C．Its design purpose. D．Its wide popularity.
C
Pick up any packaged processed food, and there’s a decent chance that one of its listed ingredients will be “natural flavor”. The ingredient sounds good, particularly in contrast to “artificial flavor”. But what exactly does natural flavor mean It refers to extracts (提取物) got from natural sources like. When consumers see “natural flavor” on a label, they are unlikely to assume that someone is squeezing the juice from oranges into their bottle. They know even though natural flavor must come from natural sources, it needn’t all come from the plant or meat. For example, orange flavor might contain not only orange extract, but also extracts from bark and grass. Nor is the common belief true that ingredients extracted from nature are necessarily safer than something artificially made.
So if flavors like orange are needed, why not just use oranges The answer comes down to “availability, cost and sustainability”, according to flavor chemist Gary Reineccius of the University of Minnesota. “If you’re going to use all your grapes on grape soda,” Reineccius says, “you don’t have any grapes for wine making; the products are going to be exorbitant and most people can’t afford them.”
Actually, while chemists make natural flavors by extracting chemicals from natural ingredients, artificial flavors are made by creating the same chemicals artificially. The reason why companies bother to use natural flavors rather than artificial flavors is simple: marketing. “Many of these products have health titles,” says Platkin, professor from Hunter College. “Consumers may be talked to believe products with natural flavors are healthier, though they’re nutritionally no different from those with artificial flavors. Natural flavors may involve more forest clear-cutting and carbon emissions from transport than flavors created in the lab.”
Platkin suggests getting more transparent labeling on packaging that describes exactly what the natural or artificial flavors are, so consumers are not misled into buying one product over another because of “natural flavors”. Reineccius also offers some simple guidance: “Don’t buy anything because it says ‘natural flavors’. Buy it because you like it.”
28．Which is a misunderstanding about the “natural flavor” juice according to Paragraph 1
A．It comes from 100% original fruit.
B．It is nothing but advertising tricks.
C．It is absolutely safer than juice with artificial flavors.
D．It certainly contains extracts made in the lab.
29．What does the underlined word “exorbitant” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Suitable. B．Expensive. C．Official. D．Flexible.
30．Why do companies use natural flavors in their products
A．To promote the sales. B．To cut the costs.
C．To advocate a healthy diet. D．To avoid food safety issues.
31．What can we conclude from the passage
A．Cary and Platkin hold opposite perspectives.
B．Natural flavors are more environmentally-friendly.
C．Companies are banned to produce artificial flavor food.
D．Natural and artificial flavors are more alike than you think.
D
Recent studies in nutritional science emphasize that when we eat may be just as important as what we eat, particularly regarding our first meal of the day. The longstanding debate about breakfast timing has gained new scientific backing from research conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism in January 2024.
The UCSF study defined “early breakfast” as eating within two hours of waking, and “late breakfast” as eating more than four hours after waking. Researchers tracked metabolic (代谢的) markers in two groups of participants over a 12-week period. The findings revealed significant differences in how the body processed nutrients based on breakfast timing.
Early breakfast eaters demonstrated improved insulin sensitivity, better blood sugar regulation throughout the day, and reduced inflammation markers. They also reported feeling more energetic and experiencing weaker urge for food. Late breakfast eaters, conversely, showed higher levels of cortisol in the morning, more difficulty regulating appetite, and a tendency to consume more calories later in the day, particularly in the evening.
Dr. Sarah Mitchell, a nutritionist based in Chicago, emphasizes that while the findings are compelling, breakfast timing must be adapted to individual circumstances. Shift workers, people with medical conditions, and those with irregular schedules need to find patterns that work for their specific situations rather than following rigid guidelines.
Dr. Mitchell offers practical advice for those whose routines don’t accommodate an early breakfast. She recommends having a light snack soon after waking, followed by a proper breakfast later, rather than skipping breakfast entirely. This approach helps stabilize blood sugar and prevents overeating later. Additionally, paying attention to the composition of breakfast — prioritizing protein and fiber over simple carbohydrates — can significantly improve the metabolic response.
The message is clear: the breakfast debate extends beyond nutrients to include timing. Healthy eating isn’t merely about counting calories but also about matching our food intake with our body’s natural rhythms.
32．What did the UCSF study primarily investigate
A．The nutritional value of different breakfast foods.
B．The relationship between breakfast and weight loss.
C．The health risks of skipping breakfast.
D．The effect of breakfast timing on metabolism.
33．What does the underlined word “conversely” in paragraph 3 most probably mean
A．Therefore. B．Besides. C．In contrast. D．Meanwhile.
34．What advice does Dr. Mitchell give to late breakfast eaters
A．Skip breakfast to reduce calorie intake.
B．Eat a small snack soon after waking.
C．Consume only protein for breakfast.
D．Have breakfast exactly two hours after waking.
35．What is the best title for this passage
A．How Breakfast Timing Affects Your Health
B．Breakfast: The Most Important Meal of the Day
C．The Role of Nutrition in Modern Life
D．Why You Should Never Skip Breakfast

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Between school, homework, sports, your after-school job, and hanging out with friends, it may feel like there’s no time for healthy eating. And when you have time, you may simply eat snacks like potato chips. 36 In fact, if you have a busy schedule, it’s even more important to eat healthy foods that give you the energy you need to keep going.
37 For example, you may feel hungry in a long afternoon of classes or during your swim meet. Knowing how much food your body needs to satisfy this hunger is important. A few walnuts (核桃) are great brain food before sitting down to do your math homework. 38
Healthy snacking is important to you. During teenage years, the body needs more nutrients (营养) to grow. Snacks are a great way to satisfy your hunger and get all nutrients your body needs. 39 Do not eat foods with lots of added sugars like candy bars or soda. That’s because eating these foods may help you stop feeling hungry for a moment, but they are bad for your health in the long term.
Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smart. 40 We may find “all natural” on the side of a package but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s nutritious. For example, “all natural” juice drinks can be filled with sugar, which means they’ll make you fat easily and give you little nutrition.
A．It’s natural to feel hungry at certain times.
B．Healthy snacking doesn’t have to be boring.
C．But you need to pay attention to what you eat.
D．But it is possible to treat yourself to a healthy snack.
E．But a whole bag only makes you put on weight easily.
F．Be careful of the health information on food packages.
G．If you’re really feeling hungry, don’t pay no attention to it.

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。
Ethan had always lived by checklists — precise and detailed. At school, he double-checked his answers, rewrote notes in perfect handwriting, and organized his pens by size and color. But the world often refused to follow his plan. A missed question, a group project gone off track, or even a messy desk could send him into hours of self-blame.
During a school event, he was struck by what was advertised on the poster of a pottery class, “Join us. Create, relax, and just be yourself.” He eagerly signed up, hoping it might ease the anxiety that had wrapped him around for long.
On the first day of their pottery workshop, Ethan arrived earlier, and spent almost an hour arranging and rearranging all the tools, the wheel, carving knives, brushes, and measuring cups... He carefully lined them up like surgical instruments. He had even watched twelve instructional videos the night before, determined to get everything right. Yet somehow, his third attempt at a simple bowl that day still exploded in the kiln (窑).
Maybe the shape was not right, Ethan thought. Ms. Alvarez, their instructor, approached Ethan and said with a warm smile, “Beginner’s tip. Don’t worry about making it perfect.” Ethan froze. The word “Perfect” hung in the air, sharp and cold. He wanted to explain, to say that “perfect” was the only way he knew how to feel safe. But the words stayed inside.
Around him, the others were making uneven (歪歪扭扭的) bowls and plates with funny-looking curves. Some were even laughing at their own “disasters”. No one seemed to mind getting it wrong. Ethan looked down at his hands, still lightly dusted with clay (黏土). For a moment, he just stared, and then realized maybe “not being perfect” wasn’t as scary as he had always thought. He let out a small, hesitant smile, turned back to the soft clay on his table, and began shaping it — ready for a fourth attempt.
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。
“Forget about making it perfect.” Ms. Alvarez’s words gently landed beside him.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Now,” Ms. Alvarez said to Ethan with a smile, “let’s wait.”

W: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a great pleasure to talk to you about a remarkable film festival that has introduced high quality cinema to the world. The festival I’m referring to is CineMajestic. CineMajestic was first planned in the late 1960s. At the very beginning, it was intended to be a small independent gathering of filmmakers and film lovers. It was designed to present creative and innovative films that might not find a home in more mainstream festivals. This vision became a reality when the first CineMajestic festival was held in 1973 and it immediately gained recognition. What makes CineMajestic different from other film festivals is its efforts in the art of storytelling. It’s a festival that doesn’t follow trends or commercial pressure. Instead, it celebrates the most important quality of cinema and the creative voices that define it. CineMajestic belief in finding hidden, precious aspects is truly inspiring. The films vary widely in terms of type and style. You’ll find something from inspiring documentaries to creative experimental films. But character-driven dramas often shine here. The festival has been a platform for films that challenge conventions and take artistic risks. This year’s selection at CineMajestic was extremely interesting. What impressed me most was the diversity of voices and stories on display. There were films from all corners of the globe. I was particularly moved by the film The Silent Journey, a story about a young boy’s adventure in a ruined world.

Some companies use this way of coding to mark months.(简单地将字母 A 到 L 按照字母顺序对应一月到十二月。一些公司使用这种编码方式标记月份。)”可知，步骤一和步骤二均会使用字母来标记月份。
22．细节理解题。根据Step 4中的“Find the corresponding Julian date from the code if the numbers cannot be read as month, day and year. A Julian date shows which day it is in a whole year. For example, Jan. 1 would be 1 and Dec. 31 would be 365 if a Julian date is used.(如果数字不能读取为月、日和年，请从代码中查找相应的儒略日期。儒略历日期表示一年中的哪一天。例如，如果使用儒略历日期，1月1日将是1，12月31日将是365)”可知，儒略历日期表示某一天在一年中的第几天，例如1月1日为1，12月31日为365。1月有31天，因此2月10日是一年中的第31+10=41天，对应的儒略历日期为41。
23．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍如何解读罐头食品上的日期代码，以帮助人们保证食品新鲜和安全食用，这与日常饮食健康密切相关，因此最可能出自杂志的“日常健康”版块。
【答案】24．B 25．D 26．C 27．A
【分析】文章主要讲述超加工食品诱导不健康饮食，介绍食品标签举措及其带来的连锁影响。
【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Franco Sassi, a researcher at Imperial College, said that while individuals feel as though they can choose what they buy and eat, the evidence paints a distinct picture. (帝国理工学院研究员佛朗哥 萨西表示，尽管人们觉得自己可以自主选择购买和食用的食物，但证据展现出截然不同的实际情况)”可知，佛朗哥 萨西暗示的意思是消费者其实并没有真正自由的食品选择权。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段中“What makes this particularly troubling is that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are adjusted by producers to make them as irresistible as possible(令人尤其不安的是，超加工食品被生产商加以调整，使它们尽可能让人无法抗拒)”可知，生产商对超加工食品进行调整，目的是让食品极度诱人，吸引更多顾客。
26．细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 2016, Chile introduced black warning labels for food high in sugar, salt or calories, leading to a 23.8% drop in purchases of high-calorie products. Likewise, many European countries adopt the “Nutri-score”, a front-of-pack labeling system originating in France. It uses colored letters ranging from the healthiest dark green A to the least healthy red E, designed to help consumers make better-informed food choices. (2016年，智利为高糖、高盐或高热量食品推出黑色警示标签，使得高热量产品的购买量下降了23.8%。同样，许多欧洲国家采用“营养评分”制度，这是一套源自法国的包装正面标签体系。该体系使用彩色字母，从代表最健康的深绿色A到代表最不健康的红色E，旨在帮助消费者在充分了解信息的前提下做出食品选择)”可知，智利用黑色警告标，欧洲用彩色字母标，都是把高风险或低营养食品用醒目、扎眼的标记标出来提醒消费者。
27．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“In response, some producers decreased the percentage of sugar in their products and shifted from refined grains to whole-grain flours. Supermarkets also promoted healthier products, which increased sales of “Nutri-score A” products and decreased sales of “E” products (作为回应，一些生产商降低了产品中的糖含量，并把精制谷物换成全麦粉。超市还推广更健康的商品，这使“营养评分A”产品销量上升、“E”产品销量下降)”与“Consequently, Nutri-score labelling has been shown to change consumer behavior too. (因此，营养评分标签也被证明能改变消费者行为)”可知，本段先讲生产者改配方，再讲超市调陈列和销量变化，最后讲消费者行为被改变，展示的是“标签制度带来的连锁效应”。
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了“天然风味”这一食品标签的含义，指出其并不一定比人工风味更安全或更健康，而使用天然风味主要是为了市场营销。文章建议提高标签透明度。
【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“They know even though natural flavor must come from natural sources, it needn’t all come from the plant or meat. For example, orange flavor might contain not only orange extract, but also extracts from bark and grass. Nor is the common belief true that ingredients extracted from nature are necessarily safer than something artificially made.”（他们知道，尽管天然香料必须来自天然来源，但它并不都来自植物或肉类。例如，橙味可能不仅含有橙提取物，还含有树皮和草的提取物。人们普遍认为从自然中提取的成分一定比人造的更安全，这种说法也不正确。）可知，关于“天然香料”的果汁有两种误解，一是认为它全部来自植物或肉类，二是认为它比人造香料的果汁更安全。对比四个选项，C项“它比含有人造香料的果汁更安全。”是其中一种误解。故选C项。
29．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句““If you’re going to use all your grapes on grape soda,” Reineccius says, “you don’t have any grapes for wine making; the products are going to be exorbitant and most people can’t afford them.”（雷内修斯说：“如果你把所有的葡萄都用在葡萄汽水上，你就没有葡萄酿酒了；产品将会变得exorbitant，大多数人买不起。”）中“people can’t afford them”可推知，如果把所有的葡萄都用在葡萄汽水上，就没有葡萄用来酿酒了，葡萄酒将会变得非常昂贵，大多数人买不起。由此推知，画线词“exorbitant”意思是“昂贵的”，与Expensive同义。故选B项。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The reason why companies bother to use natural flavors rather than artificial flavors is simple: marketing.”（公司宁愿使用天然香料而不使用人造香料的原因很简单：营销。）可知，公司在产品中使用天然香料是为了营销，即为了促进销售。故选A项。
31．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Actually, while chemists make natural flavors by extracting chemicals from natural ingredients, artificial flavors are made by creating the same chemicals artificially.”（化学家通过从天然成分中提取化学物质来制造天然香料，而人造香料则是通过人工制造相同的化学物质来制造的。）和“Consumers may be talked to believe products with natural flavors are healthier, though they’re nutritionally no different from those with artificial flavors.”（尽管它们在营养上与人造香料没有什么不同，消费者可能会被说服相信天然香料的产品更健康。）可知，天然香料和人造香料都是通过制造相同的化学物质来制造的，即它们有很多相似之处，超出你的想象。故选D项。
【答案】32．D 33．C 34．B 35．A
【分析】文章主要讲述了早餐时间对新陈代谢的影响以及专家给出的个性化饮食建议。
【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers tracked metabolic (代谢的) markers in two groups of participants over a 12-week period. The findings revealed significant differences in how the body processed nutrients based on breakfast timing.(研究人员在12周内追踪了两组参与者的代谢标志物。研究结果揭示了基于早餐时间，身体处理营养物的方式存在显著差异)”可知，加州大学旧金山分校的研究主要调查了早餐时间对新陈代谢的影响。
33．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Early breakfast eaters demonstrated improved insulin sensitivity, better blood sugar regulation throughout the day, and reduced inflammation markers. They also reported feeling more energetic and experiencing weaker urge for food. Late breakfast eaters, conversely, showed higher levels of cortisol in the morning, more difficulty regulating appetite, and a tendency to consume more calories later in the day, particularly in the evening.(早餐吃得早的人表现出更好的胰岛素敏感性、全天更好的血糖调节以及较低的炎症标志物。他们还报告感觉更有精力，对食物的渴望更弱。conversely，早餐吃得晚的人早上皮质醇水平更高，调节食欲更困难，并且倾向于在当天晚些时候摄入更多卡路里，尤其是在晚上)”可知，前文描述“早餐吃得早的人”的积极代谢表现，后文描述“早餐吃得晚的人”的消极代谢表现，两者形成鲜明对比。conversely意为“相反地”，与In contrast意思最接近。
34．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Dr. Mitchell offers practical advice for those whose routines don’t accommodate an early breakfast. She recommends having a light snack soon after waking, followed by a proper breakfast later, rather than skipping breakfast entirely.(米切尔博士为那些日程安排不允许吃早早餐的人提供了实用建议。她建议在醒来后不久吃一点小零食，之后再吃一顿像样的早餐，而不是完全跳过早餐)”可知，米切尔博士建议晚早餐进食者在醒来后吃一点小零食。
35．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中“Recent studies in nutritional science emphasize that when we eat may be just as important as what we eat, particularly regarding our first meal of the day.(最近的营养科学研究强调，我们什么时候吃可能和我们吃什么一样重要，尤其是关于我们一天的第一顿饭)”以及最后一段中“The message is clear: the breakfast debate extends beyond nutrients to include timing.(信息很明确：早餐的争论不仅限于营养，还包括时间)”可知，文章围绕早餐时间对健康和代谢的影响展开，并引用专家观点给出建议。A项“早餐时间如何影响你的健康”准确概括了文章主旨，适合作标题。
【答案】36．D 37．A 38．E 39．C 40．F
【分析】本文指出青少年日程繁忙也能吃健康零食，说明饥饿时可选合适健康小吃，提醒避开高糖零食，选购时谨慎看待包装宣传语。
【详解】36．上文“And when you have time, you may simply eat snacks like potato chips.(就算有空，你可能只会吃薯片这类零食)”指出青少年在忙碌时倾向于选择不健康零食的现状。下文“In fact, if you have a busy schedule, it’s even more important to eat healthy foods that give you the energy you need to keep going.(事实上日程繁忙时，吃健康食物补充精力尤为重要)”通过In fact转折，强调了健康饮食的必要性。空处承上启下，需否定前文吃薯片的做法并引出健康饮食的可能性。D项“But it is possible to treat yourself to a healthy snack.(但你依然可以选择健康零食犒劳自己)”中的But与前文构成转折，“a healthy snack”直接呼应后文的核心话题，符合语境。
37．下文“For example, you may feel hungry in a long afternoon of classes or during your swim meet.(比如一下午的课程或是游泳比赛期间，你会感到饥饿)”总述了健康饮食的重要性。空后“For example, you may feel hungry in a long afternoon of classes or during your swim meet.(例如，在漫长的下午上课期间或游泳比赛期间，你可能会感到饥饿)”举例说明了具体的饥饿场景。空处需承接上文并引出下文的例子，说明饥饿感的普遍性。A项“It’s natural to feel hungry at certain times.(在某些时段感到饥饿是很正常的事。)”中的“feel hungry”与后文例子中的“feel hungry”直接对应，且“natural”解释了这种现象的合理性，符合语境。
38．上文“A few walnuts (核桃) are great brain food before sitting down to do your math homework.(做数学作业前吃几颗核桃，是很好的补脑零食)”举出了一个健康零食的正面例子及其益处。空处需对此例子进行补充说明或反面论证，以强调适量的重要性。E项“But a whole bag only makes you put on weight easily.(但吃一整袋就很容易长胖)”中的But构成转折，“a whole bag”与“A few walnuts”形成数量对比，指出了过量食用的负面效果，逻辑连贯，符合语境。。
39．上文“Snacks are a great way to satisfy your hunger and get all nutrients your body needs.(零食是满足饥饿和获取身体所需营养的好方法)”肯定了健康零食的积极作用。下文“Do not eat foods with lots of added sugars like candy bars or soda.(不要吃糖果、汽水这类添加大量糖分的食物)”列举了应避免的不健康食品。空处需承上启下，在肯定零食作用的同时，提醒注意食品的选择。C项“But you need to pay attention to what you eat.(但你需要留意自己吃的是什么)”中的But承接上文，强调选择的重要性，自然引出下文对不健康食品的警示，符合语境。
40．上文“Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smart.(选择健康零食意味着要聪明地购物)”提出了聪明购物的观点。下文“We may find “all natural” on the side of a package but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s nutritious.(包装上标注“全天然”，并不代表它有营养)”指出了包装标识可能存在的误导性。空处需建立“聪明购物”与“识别包装信息”之间的联系。F项“Be careful of the health information on food packages.(要留心食品包装上的健康相关宣传文字)”直接点明了购物时需注意的具体事项，与后文对包装标识的举例分析紧密衔接，符合语境。
【答案】41．C 42．A 43．D 44．B 45．A 46．B 47．C 48．C 49．D 50．A 51．B 52．A 53．D 54．D 55．B

【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是广州的饮茶传统（Yum Cha），包括其文化意义、社交功能、现代发展以及与人们生活的紧密联系。
【详解】56．考查固定搭配。句意：饮茶不仅是一种饮料，也是中国南方岭南文化的重要组成部分，在那里，家人、朋友或商业伙伴聚会时喝茶非常好。not only...but also...是固定搭配，意为“不仅……而且……”，故填but。

67．【答案】“Forget about making it perfect.” Ms. Alvarez’s words gently landed beside him. Hearing this, Ethan hesitated, then closed his notebook and let his fingers press into the clay with no checklist. His hands worked clumsily at first, but soon the rhythm of shaping took over, each motion less about worry and more about exploration. Halfway through, Ethan pressed too hard while shaping — the curve got a little uneven. He glanced at Ms. Alvarez, remembering her gentle voice. Just this once, he decided not to start over. Ms. Alvarez watched him, offering gentle encouragement. With her guidance, Ethan carefully placed his newly formed clay piece into the kiln.
“Now,” Ms. Alvarez said to Ethan with a smile, “let’s wait.” He stepped back from the warm glow of the kiln, a sense of quiet anticipation settling within him. It wasn’t the anxiety about perfection, but a quiet curiosity about what might emerge. When the kiln finally cooled and the pieces were revealed, Ms. Alvarez came over, pride shining in her eyes. “Beautiful work, Ethan.” “Thank you for reminding me it didn’t have to be perfect,” Ethan murmured, his lips curling into a small, relieved smile. The bowl was far from perfect. But it held its shape and was unique. For once, he didn’t feel the urge to fix it, to start over, to make it match some invisible standard. Ethan felt a strange lightness, as if the weight of all his checklists had finally lifted.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了完美主义者Ethan通过陶艺课学习接纳不完美的故事。他用清单和规则寻求安全感，却因陶土创作的意外失败而焦虑；在老师引导和同伴氛围影响下，他开始尝试放下对完美的执念，最终体验到了创作的自由与快乐。

①由第一段首句内容““别想着做到完美了。”Ms. Alvarez的话轻柔地落在他耳边。”可知，第一段可描写Ethan尝试跟随老师建议，放手创作的过程。
②由第二段首句内容““现在，”Ms. Alvarez微笑着对Ethan说，“我们等等看吧。””可知，第二段可描写Ethan等待作品烧制，最终接纳不完美并收获成长的场景。
2．续写线索：老师提建议——Ethan试创作——作品入窑中——等待出窑时——作品终出炉——Ethan悟成长
3．词汇激活
