  • 2、阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    Winemaker Xu Hai has gotten much busier after Nov. 7 as this period (consider) the best season of a year to make huangjiu, or yellow rice wine, in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province.

    This time of the year also sees a marked increase in the number of visitors.

    Among the recent visitors was group of ten foreigners from various counties, were on a tour of the Shaoxing Huangjiu town. Shaoxing, a waterside city, is (wide) regarded as the home for yellow rice wine in China.

    During the trip, Xu showed to the foreigners some of the (step) required in the early stages of winemaking. Valles Sabrina Christine said she was particularly impressed by how the winemaker handled the rice.

    The techniques employed by local winemakers like Xu are hardly different those used by their ancestors thousands of years ago. In 2006, the process of (make) Shaoxing yellow rice wine was listed as an intangible (无形的) cultural heritage under State protection.

    According to Xu, the ancient methods take a lot of time and effort but produce (good) tasting wine than modern means.

    The locals would traditionally store the wine in (prepare) for future celebrations like the birth of a new child and weddings. Huangjiu drunk during a daughter's wedding is called nverhong, or "daughter red", while those prepared (celebrate) a son's graduation from college is called zhuangyuanhong, or "scholar red".

  • 3、​​​​​​​Tongai has worked as a waiter at a restaurant in the past eight years. He was working1 one afternoon on a beautiful day with clear blue skies and2 seas. Tourists who had finished their lunch at the restaurant were walking along the water's edge, admiring the3 ocean and mountain views, when4 a "wall of water" rose up and carried lots of people out to sea. When seeing that, Tongai immediately ran outside, undressed himself, and5 into the water.

    Towering waves were breaking on the shore, making it6 for the shocked victims to get back. Tongai used his belt to pull people from the water,7 for help as he worked.

    Two of the people Tongai8 were Clair and her 8-year-old daughter, Arya. As they walked, a huge wave9 them into the harbor. Clair cried for help, and Tongai and another tourist who'd jumped in to help were in the water next to her. Tongai caught Arya and pushed her onto the rocky shore. Clair scrambled (爬) up behind them,10

    "I recently went to the restaurant to thank him," Clair said. "My daughter recognized him11, and we hugged each other. We are so12 to Tongai and the tourist who13 their lives to save ours."

    Thanks to Tongai and other helpers, no one lost their14 that day! Tongai is now regarded as a hero and praised for his15 rescues.

  • 4、​​​​​​​Music is known to have a great deal of mental and physical benefits on humans. From helping to treat physical medical problems to relieving stress, music can be extremely beneficial in helping to improve health.

    Animals may have a great deal of stress. Dogs and cats may be stressed when around men because they were badly treated by a man, and they may never forget that. A dog who was attacked by another dog while on a walk may be always afraid to go on walks, or even be afraid to leave the house.

    Cats, dogs and horses will not all have the exact same stressors (压力源), so you just have to pay close attention to your animal and what makes them unique, such as changes in eating habits, too much sleep and too little sleep, just to name a few.

    Music can be extremely beneficial for animals in high stress situations. In the atmosphere, they feel calm, safe and well protected. Music can be specifically helpful when played at veterinary (兽医的) clinics for animals who are afraid of the vet. This helps calm the owners of the animals and the staff at the office besides the animals. That's why it is being taken up at a variety of veterinary clinics around the world.

    A. It can create a space for them.

    B. The same goes for our furry friends, too.

    C. They could be stressed for a variety of reasons.

    D. It would be a beneficial practice for all parties.

    E. Another place where music can be helpful is in car rides.

    F. There are ways that you can identify stress in your animals.

    G. It's no wonder loud noises can cause dogs and cats so much stress.

  • 5、The way you learn most effectively will impact many different aspects of your life. Visual (视觉的) learners process information best when it's presented with images drawn on a whiteboard, charts or graphs. Visual learners usually process pictures before they read printed text and are also able to visualize concepts quickly. People who are visual learners would prefer it if instruction is printed rather than given verbally (口头地), and may often write or draw when attempting to make sense of a new topic. Many visual learners remember something better once they've written it down or drawn it out.

    Auditory (听觉的) learners process information best when it's said out loud, such as in a lecture setting or spoken presentation. This type of learners can easily recall what others say and prefer to talk through topics they find complex or difficult to understand. People who are auditory learners prefer verbal directions and may use repetition or repeat things aloud to memorize things. They may ask questions to understand the subject matter better and may need to hear something repeated more than once before they fully comprehend. Auditory learners also often benefit from listening to recordings as a method of absorbing new concepts.

    Kinesthetic (动觉的) learners process information through experience rather than by being shown or told. This type of learners prefer to do things that are more "hands-on". They prefer to touch and feel items and can easily recall things they've done. People who are kinesthetic learners like to make and create things using their hands, and remember information best when they are physically involved. Kinesthetic learners like to take part in the process by shadowing others, and prefer to practice concepts as a way to absorb new information.

    Take time to consider how you prefer to take in new information. Think about the last time how you worked to ensure you retained the information. The answers to these questions will help you discover which learning style works best for you.

    (1)、What do visual learners do to form an idea in mind?
    A、Visualize or read something. B、Process or present something. C、Recall or speak. D、Write or draw.
    (2)、Who can understand something repeated better?
    A、Visual learners. B、Auditory learners. C、Kinesthetic learners. D、Lifelong learners.
    (3)、What does the underlined word "shadowing" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
    A、Listening carefully. B、Memorizing perfectly. C、Following closely. D、Asking repeatedly.
    (4)、What is author's purpose of writing this passage?
    A、To help readers explore learning styles. B、To introduce effective learning methods. C、To arouse readers' curiosity about learning. D、To inform readers of a new scientific study about learning.
  • 6、Many people have an immediate negative reaction to the word fat. But according to a new study, fat tissue (组织) itself is very, very important for health. It's an important place to store the extra energy in our body. Fat tissue is supposed to be stored under the skin. If it can't go there, it's going to other places such as your liver, heart or pancreas (胰腺). More fat in those organs could affect how well they function. Exercising regularly over time makes fat tissue a more accommodating place for extra energy under conditions when we do gain weight.

    To see how exercise impacts fat tissue, researchers compared fat tissue just under the skin from two groups of 16 people with overweight problem: those who reported exercising at least four times a week for at least 2 years, and those who did not exercise regularly. People who had a history of regular exercise in the past had fat cells with features that allowed them to store more fat.

    Result from the former group showed several structural changes in fat tissue, including slightly smaller fat cells and more of them, and changes in proteins (蛋白质) that adjust body fat remodeling. However, many of the above changes disappeared when regular exercise stopped. Dr. Horowitz, professor of movement studies at the University of Michigan, said, "This is one of the big reasons why it is so important to be physically active most days. A lot of the body's exercises help you to keep going longer or push harder in your works."

    The key takeaway of the study is that we're broadening our understanding of why it is helpful to exercise. There are so many ways to exercise, and figuring out a way to make it part of the daily routine plays an important role. Of course, you should check with your doctor first to make sure it's safe.

    (1)、What can we learn about fat tissue from Paragraph 1?
    A、It is most energy-demanding. B、It has little to do with fatness. C、Its location makes a difference. D、Its function is to control health.
    (2)、How are the participants in the research grouped?
    A、By their health problem. B、By their body weight. C、By their workout habit. D、By their personal hobby.
    (3)、What is stressed in Paragraph 3?
    A、Weight loss depends on less fat tissue. B、Exercise can reshape protein structure. C、Harder training results in stronger fat tissue. D、Fat tissue is closely related to regular exercise.
    (4)、What is the main idea of the passage?
    A、Fat tissue is harmful to health. B、Regular exercise improves fat tissue function. C、Exercise should be done only a few times a week. D、Avoiding weight gain is the key to health.
  • 7、Sylvain Saudan's skiing was so alarmingly daring that people struggled to believe his achievements were real. The Swiss extreme skiing pioneer became the first to successfully rush down the Spencer Couloir's 55-degree slope (斜坡) — with more than 200 turns, at speeds close to freefall on France's Aiguille de Blaitiere mountain in 1967. Locals didn't trust that he'd really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos of his ski tracks. Nicknamed the "skier of the impossible", Saudan looked for slopes from the Himalayas to the Alps, often reaching the tops by helicopter. But in 1982, he climbed for 25 days to reach the 26,500-foot summit (峰顶) of Pakistan's Gasherbrum I, searching for undeveloped areas in its natural state. "The first to dare something are the real adventurers," he said in 2016. "It's the first that matters."

    Raised on a farm in the Alps, Saudan didn't have the resources to train as a competitive skier, and worked as a laborer and truck driver before becoming a ski instructor. Teaching through icy winters in Scotland helped prepare him for deadly slopes. After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent twenty years "looking for greater challenges and testing new methods," said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment innovations for steep slopes, but ignored safety measures as he shot down Oregon's Mount Hood, Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro, and Nepal's Dhaulagiri.

    Saudan completed his last major journey in 1986 by skiing down Mount Fuji on bare rocks, walking away without a single cut. He "spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches (雪崩), and obituary (讣告) writers, " said The New York Times. He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered, yet death was never far from his mind. "There's really only one way out," he said, "Don't fall down. "

    (1)、How did people react to Saudan's achievement on the Spencer Couloir's 55-degree slope?
    A、They considered it as a fact at once. B、They were not aware of it completely. C、They thought of him as a skiing pioneer. D、They doubted it till evidence (证据) arrived.
    (2)、Which of the following can best describe Saudan?
    A、Adventurous and devoted. B、Brave and generous. C、Creative but frightened. D、Reserved but famous.
    (3)、Why did Saudan go skiing?
    A、To test new skiing equipment. B、To push himself to new limits. C、To keep track of adventures for fame. D、To escape his past life as a laborer.
    (4)、Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
    A、Sylvain Saudan: A Life-long Laborer and Truck Driver B、Sylvain Saudan: The Pioneer of Extreme Skiing C、Sylvain Saudan: A Fearless Alpine Farmer D、Sylvain Saudan: The Creator of Skiing Styles

  • 9、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。

    There was a time in my life when I enjoyed violin very much. But when it came to performing in front of other people, I always became nervous and got discouraged frequently with my inability to play as well as I could when practicing alone. The fear of making mistakes made my hand tremble, overshadowing the joy I found in music. I worried that a single wrong note would break the connection I hoped to create with my listeners.

    Determined to overcome this fear, I joined my high school orchestra (管弦乐队) as a freshmen. At our first class, the conductor announced that we would have the opportunity to perform in San Antonio, and everyone was excited about the trip.

    A few weeks before the actual trip, one of my friends sent me a video of Joshua Bell, a well-known violinist, performing at a subway station. I was particularly fascinated by one piece that he played for the passersby. And he earned $32.17 for that piece.

    I was deeply moved by the emotional richness and complexity of the piece, and I felt a strong desire to express its beauty. I imagined myself performing it confidently, just like Bell. I started practicing it like crazy. However, the difficulty of the piece and the constant repetitions and adjustments wore me out to the point where I almost considered just giving up. But it was a worthy challenge and I thought I could master it, with my unique style.

    Several weeks later, our orchestra group were staying at a hotel in San Antonio. As we were hanging out, we found a beautiful courtyard just in front of the hotel. The friend who sent me the video and I were talking about how Joshua Bell's performance at the subway station went viral on the social media.

    注意:

  • 13、In an era dominated by keyboards and screens, the decline of handwriting has sparked debates about its relevance. Yet research consistently highlights unique cognitive (认知的) advantages of writing by hand that digital tools cannot imitate.

    Numerous studies reveal that manual writing strengthens memory maintenance more effectively than typing. Naomi Susan Baron, a linguistics professor, notes that people across Japan, Norway, and the U.S. recall information better when jotting it down (草草记下) manually. For instance, adults learning Arabic letters via handwriting outperformed typists in recognition and pronunciation speed. Similarly, students who take handwritten notes during lectures demonstrate deeper comprehension compared to those typing, as handwriting forces the brain to actively map sounds to letter shapes — a process critical for literacy development.

    Neurological evidence supports these findings. Using EEG scans, Norwegian researchers observed that handwriting activates broader brain networks, including regions linked to memory, attention, and motor skills, while typing only stimulates localized areas. Theta (4-7Hz) and alpha (8-12.5Hz) brainwaves, associated with learning and focus, were notably stronger during manual writing. This multi-sensory engagement — combining touch, vision, and movement — enhances neural connectivity and information encoding.

    Experts argue that handwriting's tactile (触觉的) nature fosters deeper cognitive processing. Unlike typing, which allows for quick corrections and auto-completions, writing by hand requires deliberate planning of each stroke, promoting mindfulness and reducing mental shortcuts. Such "neural maintenance", as Van der Meer terms it, not only sharpens memory but also delays cognitive decline.

    Educators are re-evaluating handwriting's role. While some countries have dropped cursive (手写体的) instruction, others like Norway and parts of the U. S. are reintegrating it into curricula to support brain development. For adults, maintaining handwriting practice serves as a low-cost cognitive exercise, similar to physical workouts for the mind.

    In conclusion, handwriting remains a vital tool for optimizing brain function. Though digital tools excel in efficiency, the sensory and motor demands of writing by hand cultivate richer learning experiences, fostering creativity, focus, and long-term maintenance. As Baron emphasizes, preserving this skill safeguards not just tradition, but the fundamental ways we process and retain knowledge.

    (1)、According to the passage, what is one significant advantage of handwriting over typing in terms of cognitive development?
    A、Handwriting improves typing speed. B、Handwriting enhances memory preservation. C、Handwriting increases reliance on technology. D、Handwriting reduces the need for literacy development.

    (3)、What is the likely reason for the reintroduction of cursive handwriting in some educational curricula?
    A、To improve students' typing skills. B、To preserve traditional calligraphy techniques. C、To increase the efficiency of note-taking in lectures. D、To support brain development through multi-sensory engagement.
    (4)、What is the main purpose of the article?
    A、To highlight the cognitive benefits of handwriting over typing. B、To provide a history of handwriting and its cultural significance. C、To argue that digital tools should replace handwriting in education. D、To describe the neurological differences between typing and handwriting.
  • 14、Many people enjoy chocolate. However, recent reports have emphasized that chocolate production poses environmental and nutritional concerns. As a result, Swiss experts discovered new methods and recipes to create chocolate that is considered healthier and sustainable.

    In a study, researchers raised concerns about chocolates' impacts on health. Additionally, chocolate production can impact land use and increase global warming. Finding sustainable ways to create chocolates will be significant to the environment and offer potential socio-economic benefits to farmers.

    The latest June report revealed that Swiss scientists have discovered new ways to produce healthier and more sustainable chocolate. The traditional sugar in chocolates is replaced by cocoa pod's waste plant matter. Sustainable chocolate recipe uses mashed pulp (浆状物) and husk (外皮) of the cocoa pod instead of beans. Unlike the usual chocolate, the researchers noted nutritional improvement.

    Another aspect of the report is environmental benefits. Conventional methods can damage land and use excessive water. The new method reduces water and land usage by 6%. Additionally, it can potentially reduce emissions by utilizing solar drying methods.

    For farmers who have struggled against climate change and dry conditions, the study highlights that it has a local economic impact. This can drive a new revenue stream (收入来源) for local farmers, particularly for areas where cocoa is grown.

    While the chocolate uses a new recipe, the result explains that it is identical to other traditional dark chocolate in terms of taste and texture. Additionally, the report emphasized that there is still a need for a pilot study (试点研究) . According to a report, people who consume these chocolates can notice slight differences in flavor and sweetness.

    The chocolate industry is considered a $100 billion industry. Although chocolates may taste delicious, they contribute more to pollution and waste. Adopting sustainable chocolates can potentially make a significant impact on the environment amidst growing concerns about climate change and habitat warming.

    Recent findings showed that 70% of cocoa beans are found in West Africa, and there is an increasing demand for cocoa globally. However, Africa has been at risk of climate effects, causing frequent droughts and high temperatures.

    As cocoa demand soars(猛增), deforestation can likely become more widespread, which could exacerbate climate change. As a result, offering environment-friendly and sustainable ways to produce chocolates is crucial.

    (1)、What do we know from the first two paragraphs?
    A、Chocolate production costs too much natural resources. B、Chocolate production has impacts on health and environment. C、Chocolate production can increase income for local farmers. D、Chocolate production has been greatly improved so far.
    (2)、What is the author's attitude towards the new ways of producing chocolates?
    A、Satisfied. B、Uncertain. C、Objective. D、Subjective.
    (3)、What can we infer about the new recipe for chocolates?
    A、It does great harm to the environment. B、It costs too much water. C、It doesn't taste good enough. D、It is still not so perfect so far.
    (4)、What does the underlined word "exacerbate" in the last paragraph mean?
    A、Promote. B、Extend. C、Worsen. D、Relieve.
  • 15、"Where can I find your disability section?" This was the question that baffled Waterstones staff when asked by Dr Hannah Barham Brown. It should have been a pretty straightforward answer. Hannah was looking for the part of the shop where non-fiction books about disability and by disabled authors were kept, but the question drew a blank.

    This is because most bookshops don't have a specific place for non-fiction disabled books. Where there are sections for non-fiction books on important sections of identity such as race, gender and social studies, disability has been forgotten about again.

    Hannah took to social media to share her disappointment and it resonated(共鸣)with much of the disabled community. After being asked by one Waterstones staff member if she could fill a shelf, she sourced a long list that could take up a whole bookcase. And there is a huge number of them to choose from. There are also some incredible new and upcoming books by disabled voices. And hopefully, in the coming years, my own memoir book will also sit alongside them.

    From my own experience, the book-writing world is a hard space to access as a disabled woman. We're constantly told there isn't a market for our books or cheated off by agents and publishers who say they already have something similar—when often the only similarity is that we're disabled women. Not having our own section feeds these problems. The response I've had to this campaign shows that the demand for these books is there.

    Growing up I would get swept up in stories of regular girls having adventures—but as someone treated with multiple conditions from the age of nine onwards, I very rarely saw myself in the pages I was pouring over. Growing up I never saw myself in books and it was one of the reasons I struggled to accept my disabilities. Hopefully disabled kids will grow up learning they're fine just as they are.

    It was a cool fall morning, and the sun was just starting to rise, casting a warm light to the quit neighborhood. For Alex, the high school junior with a deep passion for science, was filled with both excitement and nervousness. Today marked the final presentation of his science project, which he had been working on for months. The topic was renewable energy, and Alex had built a model of a solar-powered car. He hoped it would help him win the regional science fair.

    Alex checked his bag one last time: notes, sides, and the model car. Just as he was about to leave, his younger brother Ax came into the room with big, sorry-looking eyes. In his hand, he held a broken piece of the car's solar panel. "I'm really sorry, Alex!" Ax said in a very quiet voice, his head down because he felt guilty. "I was just so curious. I wanted to see how it worked, and I didn't mean to break it."

    Alex's eyes opened wide in shock, and his heart felt like it dropped to the bottom of his stomach. The presentation was in a few hours, and there wasn't time to fix it. He thought about explaining what happened, but he was worried it would sound like an excuse and make him less likely to win. He could put a battery in the car and act like nothing was wrong. But when he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. He was proud of being honest, and the idea of cheating, even a little bit, made him feel sick.

    As he walked to school, his steps were slow and heavy. He thought about all the late-night hours he spent working at his work bench, how frustrated he was when the circuits didn't work, and how happy he was when the car finally moved using solar power. His dreams of winning the competition and being recognized for his hard work seemed to be going away. But then he remembered the talks at the dinner table a long time ago, when his parents told him how important it was to be honest, responsible, and keep trying. Their words kept playing in his mind. By the time he got to the school gates, a determined look was on his face. He knew exactly what he had to do.

  • 20、Do you ever feel as though your parents fail to truly listen to you? When you talk to them, they may give the impression that they're taking in what you say. This is one challenge you encounter.

    As you grow up, you're becoming more independent and have more questions and opinions. You might start questioning whether your parents truly understand what they're discussing, which can lead to conflicts. It's crucial to respect your parents and grasp why they might hold different opinions. However, they also need to understand your perspective and allow you to make your own decisions. After all, in only a few years you'll probably leave home and have to look after yourself!

    Although this situation is common, it remains difficult. Your home should be a place where you can talk openly. Remember, parents are human and can be hurt by your words. Try to remember that in every family there are good times and bad times, but your parents are there for you throughout. Show your appreciation for this, and they'll see you're not trying to cause trouble.

    Be sensitive! If you need to talk, don't do it before your parents go to work or bed. Consider your words carefully, keep calm and be open and honest. Don't compare them to your friends' parents. Understanding that many other tens face the same issue helps best in handling your feelings.

    Remember, there's no reason why people should automatically understand all your views. The more you engage in conversations with your parents, the better you'll feel. If you find it difficult to speak with them, seek out another family member, teacher, or the one who can offer support. Stay optimistic, and remember that soon you'll be making your own choice.

    A. It won't help and could make things worse.

    B. In fact they're often not actually doing so at all.

    C. Obviously, it's important to respect your parents.

    D. keep talking and don't take yourself too seriously.

    E. But that doesn't mean they're right on this occasion.

    F. Then you'll beam their trust, and they might become more tolerant.

    G. Their priority is to provide you with a secure and structured environment.
