A French cook is preparing foods with something surprising: insects. The European Union has recently
approved some sorts of insects as an acceptable food product. Insects provide many nutrients and are an
environmentally friendly food.The food Laurent Veyet prepares is not for those with little bravery. However, what he is preparing may
point to the future of feeding a growing world population.
One of his foods is a prawn salad with yellow mealworms. The Parisian cook talked about the perfect meal
for first-times. He was preparing a pasta made with crushed mealworms, sweet potatoes and young insects cooked
on the stove. He said, “There are some really interesting flavors. Not many people could say they don’t like that.”
The European Food Safety Agency, EFSA, in January said the mealworm is acceptable for humans to eat.
The agency is considering more than 12 other requests to approve other insect-based food products.
Mealworms, and insects more generally, could provide a sustainable food source that produces low
greenhouse gases for the future.
Veyet grows his mealworms on site. He feeds them cooked grains and vegetables. The mealworm can be
used in many different meals. It can be cooked whole and eaten, or it can be ground to help make foods like bread.
Stefan De Keersmaecker is a health and food safety spokesman at the European Commission. He said,
“Insects are nutritious.” He also said that insects can help us change to a more healthy and sustainable diet and food
system.
There are two battles Veyet must win. He needs to win over public opinion and learn how to combine the
taste of insects with other foods. He said that he must find the right taste as well as the right food combinations. He
said that is very interesting to do and any cook would tell you the same.
24．What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2?
A．The food looks frightening. B．The food smells terrible.
C．The food tastes delicious. D．The food is very special.
25．What do we learn about Laurent Veyet?
A．He was a traditional cook. B．He was worried about people’s reaction.
C．He bought mealworms from shops. D．He was confident about his food.
26．What would be Stefan De Keersmaecker’s attitude to Laurent Veyet’s new food?
A．Skeptical. B．Favourable.
C．Confused. D．Negative.
27．What’s the author’s final conclusion about Laurent Veyet’s new attempt?
A．It will face challenges. B．It will be successful.
C．It will go smoothly. D．It will meet with failure.
Coleus (彩叶草) is truly a standout in the plant world. Its leaves display an astonishing variety of colors,making it a game-changer in garden design, much like how the right decoration elements can transform a living
space. Chris Baker, an enthusiast coleus breeder, has a long-standing bond with these plants. His journey with
coleus traces back to the cuttings his grandmother was nurturing on the kitchen window, their vivid colors leaving a
lasting mark on him.
Baker’s path to becoming a coleus breeder was far from straightforward. After his ambitions of a music
career faded, he took on different jobs. Eventually, a job in a greenhouse led him to his true calling. The sight of
seedlings emerging from self-sown seeds inspired him to study hybridization. At first, he painstakingly used
magnifying glasses (放大镜) and paintbrushes for pollination, but later discovered that bees could do the job just as
well, if not better.
The International Coleus Society has documented over 1, 800 named plant varieties, with an estimated 400-
500 available commercially. Instead of taking the easy way out and sourcing from suppliers, Baker dedicated
himself to breeding his own unique varieties. His greenhouse is home to around 50 of his self-developed coleus.
Modern breeders, including Baker, focus on more than just leaf color. They’re also interested in traits like leaf size,
shape, and the plant’s growth habits. Baker has successfully bred coleus that can tolerate more sunlight and have a
denser growth pattern.
Coleus’s genetic diversity provides countless opportunities for gardeners to create stunning displays.
Moreover, the unique colors and patterns of coleus can also be used to create eye-catching plant combinations.
For example, pairing a bright red-leaved coleus with some delicate white flowers can enhance the garden’s
color contrast. Additionally, coleus plants are relatively easy to care for, making them a great choice for both
novice and experienced gardeners.
28．Why does the author mention “decoration elements” in Paragraph 1?
A．To stress the importance of coleus plants in home decoration.
B．To illustrate coleus’s role in landscaping with a familiar comparison.
C．To emphasize the economic value of garden design.
D．To introduce basic requirements for coleus growth.
29．Which of the following statements about Baker is right?
A．His grandmother’s coleus sparked his interest in coleus.
B．His career path was smooth and well-planned.
C．His first choice for pollination is Bees.
D．His reliance on suppliers helped him create unique varieties.
30．What does the underlined word “novice” in the fourth paragraph mean?A．professional B．specialist C．master D．beginner
31．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The history of coleus cultivation in garden design.
B．The vital role of bees in pollinating coleus plants.
C．From music to garden design: Chris Baker’s unusual career.
D．Coleus’s gardening value and Chris Baker’s breeding journey.
The concentric circles (同心圆状斑点), also known as eyespots on butterfly, not only look like real eyes but
may also appear to glare directly at predators (捕食者) from many directions, scientists have found. This visual
illusion, called the “Mona Lisa effect”, could scare would-be attackers and buy the insects enough time to escape.
Scientists suspect that eyespots, with dark “pupils (瞳孔)” in the center look like real eyes to predators.
Hannah Rowland, an ecologist at the Max Planck Institute wanted to see if the direction of this fake gaze
contributed to the effect.
First, Rowland and her co-author trained chicks to attack a worm hidden behind a paper printout of two
eyespots at the end of a path. When the eyespots’ pupils were specifically pointed in the chicks’ direction, the birds
repeatedly ran toward the paper and then backed away, and they waited a few minutes before attacking. But when
the pupils instead appeared to look away from the direction of the chicks’ approach, the birds attacked in seconds.
Centrally located pupils, though not as effective as ones that stared directly at the chicks, resulted in longer delays
than pupils that looked the other way.
“This suggests that they really are paying attention to the direction of the pupils in the eyespots and are
perceiving them as eyelike stimulation. The concentric eyespots found most often in the insect world may seem to
the chicks like a pair of eyes that follow them regardless of approach angle,” says Rowland.
National University of Singapore evolutionary biologist Antonia Monteiro, who was not involved in the
research, says the study is a “cool” demonstration of an evolutionary theory for eyespots. “These butterflies can be
encountered from all angles, so having the pupil centrally located ends up being pretty good,” Monteiro says. Still,
she says, the eyespots used in the study were several millimeters larger than even the largest commonly found in
nature, raising the possibility that the chicks may have been extra frightened by the size of the paper eyes.
32．What is the function of eyespots on the butterfly?
A．Making them look more beautiful. B．Spotting potential dangers.
C．Helping them identify the direction. D．Protecting them from being attacked.
33．How did the chicks react when shown the specifically-pointed eyespots?A．They attacked immediately. B．They turned away in seconds.
C．They reacted cautiously. D．They became very excited.
34．What does Monteiro mean in the last paragraph?
A．The eyespot is a butterfly’s powerful weapon.
B．The experiment needs further proof.
C．The study first proposes an evolutionary theory of eyespots.
D．Butterflies in nature have small eyespots.
35．What’s the purpose of the text?
A．To appeal to readers to preserve butterflies.
B．To uncover the hidden biological secret of butterflies.
C．To analyze the social behaviour of butterflies.
D．To demonstrate the evolutionary theory for eyespots.
Secrets of Great Savers
Wondering how to save more money but have no idea where to cut? 36 They can make your
money go further and help you live a more financially secure(保障的) life. You can form a “hand-me-down” club.
Since kids grow so fast, their clothes quickly become unwearable even though they still look nice. 37
Instead of making your local kids’ clothing store rich, organise a club of parents from your child’s school or
daycare to exchange hand-me-down clothing.
38 Always buy the same colour and style of socks for your child—preferably white, since you
can bleach(漂白) them when they are stained. Since socks always disappear, when you lose one of a pair, you can
pair it up with another, because they are all the same.
It is a good idea to take a job for a discount. If you are looking for apart-time job, fill out applications at
shops where you often do your shopping. 39 If you have teenagers in your home who are ready for a
job, encourage them to work at your family’s favourite stores with employee discounts too. Not only will you
benefit from the discount but you will also gain access to a new world of inside information on upcoming sales!
Why not help your friend move? Always help friends pack their belongings and load the truck when they are
moving. When people are loading their households into boxes, they usually find items that they no longer need or
do not want to pack or unpack. As a result, you can bring home hundreds of pounds worth of frozen food,
tableware, books, toys, furniture(家具) and other household items. 40
A．Get socks of one colour.B．Bleach socks to whiten them.
C．We share four secrets of super savers here.
D．So, parents buy a lot of new clothes to meet the need.
E．Best of all they will still think you’ve done them a favour.
F．For example, clothing shops may give their employees a discount.
G．Once they do a favor, your problem will probably be solved very quickly.

My dad is a car mechanic, which involves lots of heavy lifting, tightening, shaking, and banging. He doesn’t
seem like the kind of guy who would 41 great bread, but he is and he does.

Giving me an apron and getting out his mixing bowl, he told me to stir while he added the 46 .
Then he showed me how to knead (揉) the dough (生面团), which took ten minutes and 47 energy. Next
came the most difficult and surprising part — 48 nothing. We waited for more than an hour and saw the
dough slowly 49 and double in size. After that, to let the 50 out, we kneaded the risen
dough down, divided it in two and 51 for another hour.
“It’s hard to 52 putting the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be tough.
The most important lesson of all is learning to be 53 ,” Dad explained. While we waited, we sat and
talked. As the flour dust in the kitchen 54 , time seemed to slow down. The dough was going to rise at
its own 55 , so was I. My father taught me how to bake bread, but I think I learned something more.

Ballet is a way of life in my family. My elder sister Serena is now dancing at a top theater and I am also a
good ballet dancer at my school. Though my mom always wants me to follow in my sister’s footsteps, my love for
ballet has been fading over the years and I have been eager for a new challenge.
One day when I left the dance studio after school, I walked past a gym and was attracted by the boxers (拳击
手) who were fighting inside the boxing ring. I was deeply impressed by how hard they fought and how fast they
moved.
“That is what I really want!” I told myself.
It was not a decision made on the spot. In fact, I had long been attracted to boxing. I even had the Oakwood
High school Boxing Competition sign-up sheet in my backpack for two months. That was what I really wanted to
have a try. But I was afraid to disappoint my parents, who had such high expectations of me when it came to ballet.
Tired of trying to keep up with my sister, I made up my mind to carve my own path. The next day, I gathered
my courage and told Serena about my decision. At first, Serena thought I was just joking. But when she saw that I
was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer, right? Besides, boxing is only for boys,
and you’re so good at ballet. Make best use of your strength, Kelly.”
“But this is where I want to put my strength,” I insisted, “and what exactly does ‘only for boys’ mean,
anyway? Boxing is a sport for everyone!”
“You will learn what it exactly means soon enough!” Serena replied impatiently. “I will stick to my own
passion, no matter what it is!” I shouted back.
Touched by my determination, Serena gave in and promised not to tell my decision to our parents.
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。
It turned out that serena was absolutely right.____________________________________________________________________________________________

【原文】
British people are big tea drinkers. It is a tradition in Britain to drink tea on various occasions. People have it
for breakfast, when guests visit, and during tea breaks at work. However, research from the Tea Group shows that
herbal tea, fruit tea and other teas have become more popular than traditional English breakfast tea. Researchers
conducted a survey of 2,000 tea lovers. Over half of them said their favorite tea was not the traditional variety.
About a fifth of people chose green tea as their favorite tea. Sales of traditional tea in Britain have been declining.
The new research shows that breakfast tea is likely to continue losing popularity. The researchers found many other
things about tea-drinking habits in Britain. The biggest reason for drinking tea among Britons was to take their
minds off worries. Britons seem to love milky and sugary tea. About 85 percent of people who drink English
breakfast tea add milk. Nearly 45 percent of people sweeten their tea with sugar. Amazingly, people with a sweet
tooth put three teaspoons of sugar in their cups.

【导语】本文是一篇科普类说明文。文章介绍了一项研究发现，蝴蝶身上的同心圆状的类似瞳孔的图案可
以起到保护蝴蝶的作用，让捕食者畏惧，并给以蝴蝶足够多的逃生时间。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“This visual illusion, called the “Mona Lisa effect”, could scare would-be
attackers and buy the insects enough time to escape.（这种视觉错觉被称为“蒙娜丽莎效应”，可以吓到潜在
的攻击者，并为昆虫赢得足够的时间逃跑。）”可知，这种视觉上的假象，可以吓走那些潜在的攻击者，
给以蝴蝶足够多的时间逃生。故选D。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“When the eyespots’ pupils were specifically pointed in the chicks’
direction, the birds repeatedly ran toward the paper and then backed away, and they waited a few minutes before
attacking.（当眼状斑点的瞳孔特别指向小鸟的方向时，这些鸟会反复朝纸跑去，然后后退，等几分钟再攻击。）”可知，当瞳孔直接对着这些小鸟时，他们会重复的跑过去又退回来，在攻击之前会等上几分钟。
这是谨慎的表现。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句““These butterflies can be encountered from all angles, so having the
pupil centrally located ends up being pretty good,” Monteiro says. Still, she says, the eyespots used in the study
were several millimeters larger than even the largest commonly found in nature, raising the possibility that the
chicks may have been extra frightened by the size of the paper eyes.（Monteiro说：“这些蝴蝶可以从任何角度
看到，所以把瞳孔放在中心位置就很好了。”不过，她说，研究中使用的眼状斑点甚至比自然界中常见的
最大斑点还要大几毫米，这增加了一种可能性，即雏鸟可能被纸眼睛的大小吓坏了。）”可知，生物学家
Monteiro认为，这个类似瞳孔的图案形状是可以吓到雏鸟的，对蝴蝶来讲，可以起到有力的保护作用的。
故选A。
35．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段的“ This visual illusion, called the “Mona Lisa effect”,
could scare would-be attackers and buy the insects enough time to escape.(这种视觉错觉被称为“蒙娜丽莎效
应”，可以吓到潜在的攻击者，并为昆虫赢得足够的时间逃跑。)”，最后一句“National University of
Singapore evolutionary biologist Antonia Monteiro, who was not involved in the research, says the study is a
“cool” demonstration of an evolutionary theory for eyespots.（新加坡国立大学的进化生物学家Antonia
Monteiro没有参与这项研究，但他说这项研究是对眼状斑点进化理论的一个“很酷”的证明。）”以及全
文内容可知，文章主要介绍了蝴蝶背上的瞳孔图案的作用，因此推断文章的目的是揭示蝴蝶身上隐藏的生
物学秘密。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲DeepSeek公司2023年成立，通过创新技术推出模型，凭强化学习脱颖
而出，阐述公司使命与名字含义。
56．考查动词的时态和语态。句意：这家公司正式名称为DeepSeek人工智能基础技术研究有限公司，于
2023 年 7 月成立。此处为谓语动词作定语，主语the firm与found之间是被动关系，且时间状语是in July
2023，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为第三人称单数。故填was founded。
57．考查形容词。句意：作为一家创新型科技初创公司，DeepSeek致力于开发前沿的大语言模型
（LLMs）及相关技术。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词technology startup，innovate的形容词形式是
innovative，表示“创新的”。故填innovative。
58．考查动词的时态。句意：自从去年1月其首个模型“DeepSeek大语言模型”发布以来，该公司已经经
历了多轮迭代。空处为主句谓语动词，主语the company与undergo为主动关系，since引导的时间状语从
句用了一般过去时，主句要用现在完成时，主语the company是第三人称单数，所以用has undergone。故
填has undergone。
59．考查定语从句。句意：据美国媒体报道，去年12月，这家初创公司推出了其开源大语言模型“V3”，
它超越了Meta 的所有开源大语言模型，可与OpenAI的闭源GPT4-o相媲美。这是一个非限制性定语从句，
先行词是open-source LLM “V3”，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
60．考查介词。句意：与思维链（CoT）和监督微调（SFT）等传统方法不同，DeepSeek通过采用强化学
习（RL）作为核心训练方法在人工智能行业中脱颖而出。根据上下文提到的采用了不同的方法，这里表达
“与……不同”的意思，介词unlike符合，且句首时首字母应大写。故填Unlike。
61．考查反身代词。句意：与思维链（CoT）和监督微调（SFT）等传统方法不同，DeepSeek通过采用强
化学习（RL）作为核心训练方法在人工智能行业中脱颖而出。主语是DeepSeek，这里表示“使它自己与众不同”，应用反身代词itself。故填itself。
62．考查名词。句意：强化学习的采用使DeepSeek提高了其模型的推理能力、适应性和效率，使其成为
该领域的领先者。and 连接并列名词，根据前面的reasoning 和adaptability 可知，这里需要用efficient的
名词形式efficiency，表示“效率”，为不可数名词，作宾语。故填efficiency。
63．考查状语从句的省略。句意：当被问及“DeepSeek”的含义时，其最新的R1聊天机器人回答道：“这
个名字反映了公司深入探索和推进人工智能基础技术的使命，旨在突破人工智能创新和应用的界限。”此
处为时间状语从句的省略，question与主语its latest R1 chatbot之间是被动关系，所以应用过去分词，这里
把从句的主语和be动词省略掉了，把从句补充完整相当于When its latest R1 chatbot was questioned about
the meaning of “DeepSeek,”。故填questioned。
64．考查连词。句意：当被问及“DeepSeek” 的含义时，其最新的R1聊天机器人回答道：“这个名字反
映了公司深入探索和推进人工智能基础技术的使命，旨在突破人工智能创新和应用的界限。”结合句意可
知，explore和advance是并列关系，所以用连词and连接。故填and。
65．考查非谓语动词。句意：当被问及“DeepSeek” 的含义时，其最新的 R1 聊天机器人回答道：“这个
名字反映了公司深入探索和推进人工智能基础技术的使命，旨在突破人工智能创新和应用的界限。”此处
为aim to do sth.意为“旨在做某事”符合句意，所以使用动词不定式形式作宾语。故填to push。
66．
Good morning, everyone! Today I’d like to talk about the importance of healthy habits. A healthy lifestyle is
the key to both physical and mental well-being. Firstly, I pay great attention to a balanced diet. I avoid junk food
and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Secondly, I drink enough water every day instead of sugary drinks. Besides,
I exercise regularly, such as jogging or playing basketball with friends.
These habits benefit me a lot. I rarely get sick, and I can concentrate better in class. Moreover, exercise
reduces my stress and makes me happier.
In conclusion, small changes in daily routines can make a big difference. Let’s take action now!
67． It turned out that Serena was absolutely right. The boxing gym was filled with boys, all of whom were
tough and strong. I felt somewhat out of place, being the only girl there. The initial training sessions were
challenging, both physically and mentally. My ballet-trained body was flexible but lacked the power and endurance
required for boxing. However, I persevered, driven by my passion. I knew that mastering boxing would not happen
overnight. With each training session, I felt myself becoming faster and stronger.
Finally, the big day came, the Oakwood High School Boxing competition! Standing in the ring, I
reminded myself why I was there. As the bell rang, I moved quickly, utilizing the footwork I had honed in ballet tomaintain balance and timing. My initial nervousness melted away, replaced by focus and determination. When the
final round ended, I was exhausted but delighted. I had given it my all, and that was what mattered most. Later, I
received word that I had won third place. More importantly, I had found my own path and embraced my true
passion.
