The relationship between Jeffrey Pang and his son, Kevin Pang, was like hot-and-sour soup. It boiled over
easily. The Pangs, who moved to the United States in 1988, wanted their son and daughter to know Chinese
culture. As a video game-playing American teen, Kevin wasn’t interested.
But when Kevin became a food writer for the Chicago Tribune, he realized he had a valuable resource: his cook-
loving dad. “My father and I shared, for the first time, a common interest. I would call to ask about recipes and
cooking techniques. He would school me on the world of Chinese food,” Kevin writes in the introduction to the
cookbook he has just published.
When it comes to cooking Chinese food, he points out that there is no one definition of Chinese food.
“Chinese cooking is not hidebound. For example, consider baked pork chop rice（烤猪排饭）, popularized
in Hong Kong. It is a pork chop with egg-fried rice. And then you top it with this thick tomato sauce,” explains Kevin.
“And then you top that with some cheese. It’s a very interesting combined dish that has some Western Britishinfluences, and it’s altogether very Chinese as well.”
By the time Kevin joined America’s Test Kitchen（ATK）staff in 2020 as its editorial director for digital
content, his dad had become an Internet celebrity demonstrating the family’s recipes. Kevin recognized an opportunity
not only to share his own family’s food stories but also to apply the ATK method of breaking down recipes into simple
steps for the home cook.
“I think this cookbook can teach fathers and sons how to connect, how to find a common interest and improve
their relationship,” Kevin says. That feeling has found a fan base, generating nearly 3 million views, for their
online cooking series “Hunger Pangs”, where viewers speak highly of their father-son bond as much as they
do of their attractive dishes. Today the Pangs’ relationship is rarely sour or hot.
24．Why would Kevin phone his father after becoming a food writer?
A．To publish his Chinese cookbook. B．To inquire about hot-and-sour soup.
C．To seek permission for video games. D．To ask about cooking Chinese food.
25．What does the underlined word “hidebound” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Unpleasant. B．Changeable. C．Inflexible. D．Unpopular.
26．What can we infer about Kevin and his father from the passage?
A．Their relationship has improved. B．They run America’s Test Kitchen.
C．They do dishes to attract followers. D．Their cookbook is about low-fat food.
27．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Cooking at home helps you cook well for less. B．Father and son teach Chinese cooking together.
C．Chinese culture is becoming popular in the US. D．Recipes and cooking techniques are really easy.

The Summer Olympics in Paris is always impressive, but 2024 promised something extraordinary even before
the games began—the seats you are sitting on! Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability（可
持续性）champions in their own right.
The Paris 2024Summer Olympics made history in terms of sustainability, as 11,000 stadium seats made
entirely of recycled plastic are used during the water sports. The plastic used for the seats was collected from
recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came
from this area. The collected plastic was cut and torn into small pieces, processed and turned into new
material by a local recycling firm called Le Pavé.
After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors, the seats have gone through
numerous tests, including mechanical resistance, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs
proved to be strong enough, with producers reporting no problems in the production process.
The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of
reducing downstream emissions（排放）by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city
is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades.
The recycled plastic seats not only promote sustainability but also raise awareness about waste recycling, with
children being encouraged to throw their plastic bottles into appropriate bins. The Paris Olympics’ use of recycled
plastic seats demonstrates the potential of a circular（循环的）economy, where waste is repurposed andreused, ultimately reducing the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans.
28．What is special about the seats for the 2024 Paris Olympics?
A．They won the championship in a competition. B．They are made with a mix of plastic types.
C．They are made from recyclable plastic. D．They are produced from local raw materials.
29．Where was the plastic for the seats mostly collected from?
A．Recycling firms. B．Local recycling bins.
C．All over France. D．International suppliers.
30．What does the numerous tests mainly show in paragraph 3?
A．The advantages of the seats. B．The production process of the seats.
C．The difficulty of producing the seats. D．The significance of the plastic seats.
31．What is one of the goals of using recycled plastic seats at the Paris Olympics?
A．To create continued economic growth. B．To reduce energy consumption.
C．To attract more attention to the games. D．To contribute to environmental efforts.
D
When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action. Case in point: you decide to buy a T-shirt
made from 100% organic cotton. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story—like the fact that even organic
cotton requires more than 10,000 L of water to grow enough fibre for one T-shirt. Or the possibility that the T-shirt
may have been dyed（染色）using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the
T-shirt green? Would you still buy it?
It’s a hard question to answer. That’s because the global economy development is beyond our ability to
understand the consequences—for ourselves and the planet. We are not prepared to understand the increasing impact
of industrial chemicals on our children’s health or the climate. And we lack the data to understand the full impact of
what we choose.
But what if we could work out the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies? Not just
carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well? What if we could think ecologically? That’s what
psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence. He compiles（汇编）the
environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-
friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically—understanding the global environmental consequences of our local
choices.
Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. It’s also about our ability to accept that we
live in a closely connected world with limited resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where
for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully protecting every resource
available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. Neither do we. “We once had
the luxury to ignore our impacts,” says Goleman. “Not any more.”
32．Why is it hard for us to decide whether a T-shirt is green or not?
A．The green label tells lies. B．We lack enough knowledge.
C．The economy grows too slowly. D．We are misled by false data.
33．What does Ecological Intelligence encourage readers to do?A．Increase carbon footprints. B．Give up regular consumption.
C．Develop ecological thinking. D．Deliver information to customers.
34．How do the Tibetans of Sher live?
A．By searching for new resources. B．By living on plentiful resources.
C．By distributing resources reasonably. D．By treasuring their resources seriously.
35．What’s the purpose of the text?
A．To instruct productive industry how to go green. B．To introduce and advocate ecological intelligence.
C．To warn people of the dangers of ecological crisis. D．To illustrate the origin of ecological intelligence.

HOW TO DO HARD THINGS
It’s an inconvenient truth that the road to success isn’t a secret. Most of us know exactly what we need to do to
improve our lives. 36 We prefer things that feel good and avoid things that we know are hard but most
effective. Follow these tips to get hard things done with less struggle.
First, you need to make sure you know what the hard but effective thing is in the skill or job that you want to
improve. 37 It’s usually the thing that creates the output. For writers, it’s writing. For musicians, it’s writing a
song. For athletes, it’s doing a workout.
Figure out your why. Make sure you know why you want to do this hard thing. 38 So figure out your
why and frequently remind yourself of it. Write it down and put it where you can see it. The stronger your why, the
better.
39 Every day at a particular hour, you will do this hard thing. Pure focus, no multi-tasking. Take it easy
at first and gradually lengthen the amount of time you spend on this. Enjoy it, too. You’re a winner and you can do it.
Leave the doubts behind. When you’re doing something hard, your brain will try to find ways to stop doing it.
You’ll want to look things up or find easy ways of doing the hard thing. Don’t give in to these tempting arguments
during your hard work sessions. 40
If you keep improving yourself by doing hard things, you’ll be getting better at your targeted skill. So don’t
spend too much time working around the hard task. Just do the hard thing instead.
A．This should be easy to figure out.
B．Change your thinking so the hard thing looks good.
C．But we don’t do those things because they are hard.
D．Make a commitment and turn the hard thing into a habit.
E．If you are not clear about it, you’ll lose motivation quickly.
F．Do whatever you want after or before, but stay focused during.
G．Life is hard sometimes, and you will have to do hard things at some point.

Africa is a continent that everyone knows about, but not many fully understand. “If you haven’t been there
56 （your）, you would never truly know what it’s like,” said 29-year-old Huang Siyuan.
From 2019 to 2022, Huang worked as a security 57 （engine）at a sewage（污水）treatment
plant in the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. The plant 58 Huang worked for is in the capital, Malabo.
“I heard that locals used to throw their waste right in front of their doorsteps. Since mosquitoes breed（蚊子繁
殖）there, the incidence of malaria（疟疾）was 59 （extreme）high,” Huang said. With the sewage
treatment plant, not only had the city’s appearance been transformed, 60 the health condition of the
local people also improved.A survey done by the WHO showed that after the plant 61 （put）into use, the incidence rate of
malaria dropped from 45% to 11%. Even if someone is infected with malaria, it’s not a significant issue because of the
availability of artemisinin, a drug 62 （discover）by the Chinese scientist Tu Youyou.
63 （keep）everything on track, Huang and his colleagues conducted routine checkups of sewage wells
around the city. Sometimes they would run into local residents who would thank them for 64 （improve）the
local living environment. Some would even offer food and fruits, but they couldn’t accept. “We regard their gratitude
65 the most precious reward,” he said.

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。
Lily and Susan had been the best of friends since kindergarten. They shared everything—from secrets to lunches
—and were inseparable. One sunny afternoon, as they walked in the nearby park, chatting about their plans for the
future, they saw an injured dog.
Without hesitation, Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog. They carefully held it and rushed to the
nearest vet（兽医）clinic. The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine.
Relieved, they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovered.
Their act of kindness brought them even closer, and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the
park. However, as high school progressed, their interests started to diverge（出现分歧）. Lily became
passionate about painting, spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works, while Susan developed a
deep interest in science, joining the school’s science club and taking part in various competitions.
As time passed, they found themselves with less and less in common. One day, a misunderstanding occurred
when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule. Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily
didn’t understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extra-curricular activities. They argued, and for the
first time, their friendship seemed strained.
Feeling disheartened, both girls went their separate ways. But despite their differences, they couldn’t shake off
the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared.
One evening, as Lily walked home from an art class, she noticed Susan sitting alone on the side of the road,
looking deep in thought. She hesitated but then gathered up the courage to approach her. “Mind if I sit down?” she
asked softly. Susan looked up, surprised but not unwelcoming. “I was just thinking about old times,” she admitted.
“Me too,” Lily said quietly.

要用的11000个体育馆座椅完全是由回收塑料制成的。由此可知，2024年巴黎奥运会座椅的特殊性是用回收
塑料制成。
29．B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，制造座椅的塑料是从塞纳·圣·但尼社区的回收箱中收集的，
座椅所需的100公吨塑料中有80%来自该地区。

下文逻辑关系。
37．A 过渡句。上文叙述，首先，你需要确保你知道在你想要提高的技能或工作中，什么是困难但有效的。
该句承上启下，“找出来应该很容易。”下文进一步解释，它通常是创造输出的东西。A项符合上下文逻辑
关系。
38．E 细节句。上文叙述，要确保你了解为什么做这些艰难的事。该句补充说明，“如果你对此不清楚，
你会很快失去动力。”it为信息词。
39．D 主题句。下文叙述，每天在特定的时间，你都会做这件艰难的事情。纯粹专注，没有多重任务。一
开始要放松，逐渐延长你在这方面的时间。由此可知，“做出承诺，把困难的事情变成习惯。”与该段内容

40．F 细节句。该段叙述把疑虑抛在脑后。当你在做一件艰难的事情时，你的大脑会试图找到停止做这件
事的方法。你会想查找一些东西，或者找到更容易的方法来做这件艰难的事。在你努力工作的过程中，不要
屈服于这些诱人的论述。该句补充说明“在之后或之前做任何你想做的事，但在这期间要保持专注”。
完形填空 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述96岁的Gonzales坐轮椅走过大学毕业的舞台，接受他为之努力的文凭。
41．D 考查形容词。上文叙述，许多人梦想着走过大学毕业的舞台，接受他们为之努力的文凭。又根据下
文可知，Gonzales96岁了，不能行走，坐着轮椅。所以该句表达，就Alfonso Gonzales的情况而言，那一刻

读后续写
They sat in silence for a while, both lost in their thoughts. Finally, Lily broke the silence. “I miss our talks,” she
said. “Me too. And I miss us,” Susan replied. With those words, they began sharing their feelings openly. Lily
apologized for not caring enough about Susan’s feelings, while Susan apologized for not making enough time for their
friendship. They realized that despite their different paths, their friendship was still valuable.
After talking, they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship. What they planned first was to balance their
interests while spending quality time together. They decided to set aside one day a week used for both art
and science—exploring their creativity and innovation. On those days, they would visit museums, attend
lectures, or simply create art inspired by scientific concepts. Their friendship came back once again, stronger than
ever before. They learned appreciate each other’s passions and found new ways to connect despite their differing
interests.

W: I play the piano.

Across the UK, a group of volunteer motorcyclists are helping hospitals by delivering blood. Angela Brown is
one of them. She is on call for 80 hours each month. At very short notice, she can be woken in the night and find
herself riding a motorbike with a vital delivery for a hospital. But she’s not an employee of any hospital. She’s just a
volunteer, one of the 1,400 advanced qualified riders of the Association of Blood Bikers. Last year, the Association’s
bikers responded to around 35,000 rapid transport requests from 262 UK hospitals. Besides blood, the bikers also
deliver surgical tools and medicine.
Brown first discovered blood biking when she was on a course at the institute of advanced motorists. Her trainer
was a blood biker. Under his influence, Brown started volunteering as a rider. She later discovered that blood bikers
once helped her own nephew, Peter. He received blood delivered by a rider on New Year’s Eve, 2015. Brown says
being a blood biker is a way of helping the community and being on the bike at the same time.
