阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D·四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Cold Truths
Healthy You!
Is there any truth behind the saying“You are what you eat”? We put this to the test by asking three people to
open their fridge doors and talk about their lifestyles. Can you guess which fridge belongs to which person?
Maybe you can recognize your own fridge here!
Ellie 24 Junior doctor
There's not enough room to swing a cat in my small apartment, so I don't cook very often. My fridge is usually
half empty and I'm often too tired to eat much anyway. I often end up saving part of my meal for the next day.
Some evenings, I' ll just have something quick, like toast, or even just a yogurt with honey. As a doctor, I know I
had better change the way I eat, but I just don't have the time or the energy right now.
Jenny 31 Teacher
My husband and I avoid all products that come from animals. This means we don't eat . meat, and any milk or
cheese had better be dairy-free. We like cooking at home and make our meals from fresh, seasonal fruit and
vegetables. Cooking together gives us a chance to relax and catch up on each other's days. If we have children, I
want to bring them up just like us, but my husband says that everyone should be. able to make their own lifestyle
choices.
Ted 35 Construction worker
Each day at the construction site is more or less the same - tiring! When I get back home, there's nothing
more satisfying than a big meat dinner. I guess I' ve always been a big meat eater and in this house, no family
meal is complete without some form of meat. I still don't think that anything can beat my mum's homemade
sausages, though.
21. What can learn about Ellie?
A. She lives in a large apartment. B. She is planning to change her diet soon.
C. She sometimes eats only yogurt with honey. D. She often cooks big meals.
22. What kind of diet does Jenny probably follow?A. A diet without animal products. B. A diet with lots of meat.
B. A diet with mostly frozen food. D. A diet that includes much leftover food.
23. Where is the passage probably taken from?
A. A medical report B. A company newsletter C. A cookbook D. A personal blog
B
When Clara took over her grandfather's Brooklyn bookshop in 2018, the first thing she took away wasn't the
old books, but the WiFi router（无线路由器）. Regular customers complained. A lawyer said he would spend
his $500 monthly coffee money somewhere else if she didn't put WiFi back. “Books deserve the same full
attention we give to people we love,” she told me, while cleaning the brass counter her grandfather put in place in
1967.
Her firm choice seemed harmful to herself, especially as other stores nearby closed down. But something
unexpected happened. By 2020, the shop had become an unofficial sanctuary（庇护所）. Teenagers lay on
Persian carpets reading Dostoevsky, forgetting their phones in their backpacks. A retired judge started holding
Saturday poetry meetings. At these meetings, people recited poems from memory——a habit Clara called “brain
tattooing.”
The pandemic （ 疫 情 ） should have been their death knell. Instead, when Clara started selling
“SurvivalBundles”(carefully chosen books with handwritten notes), many orders came in. Most buyers were tech
company leaders who felt tired of Zoom meetings. A CEO from Silicon Valley said these were the first real
books he had held since he finished graduate school. “We' re eager for things we can touch and feel,” Clara said,
as she wrapped packages in recycled paper.
Last winter, I found her dealing with a new threat. A property developer had bought their building and
suddenly raised the rent to three times the original price. What happened next was like a story from a novel:
customers organized marches on the sidewalk; the judge helped them for free; even the lawyer who once
threatened to leave gave money to pay for their legal help.
In the court, Clara quoted Melville: “We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand small connections link
us together.” The judge—————who often came to her poetry meetings——said the rent increase was not fair.
Now the shop displays this court decision alongside signed first editions. It's proof that some important
connections still can't be broken by digital things.
24. What made Clara's approach to running the bookshop special?
A. Focusing on rare book collections. B. Introducing modern technology.
C. Meeting the needs of customers. D. Prioritizing full concentration.
25. What does the underlined phrase “death knell” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. A big chance to develop. B. An event marking the end.
C. A desperate cry for survival. D. A method to attract more buyers.
26. How did the retired judge help Clara when they faced the rent problem?
A. He provided legal help for Clara without charge.
B. He gave money to pay for their legal defense.
C. He bought the building from the property developer.
D. He organized protests on the sidewalk with customers.
27. What does the story mainly want to tell us?
A. Profit-driven decisions may lead to unexpected outcomes.
B. Only by giving up new technology can traditional shops survive.
C. Community and human connection can handle modern challenges.
D. Sticking to one's beliefs about traditional things alone can win others support.
C
Some of life's simplest mysteries can prove the hardest to solve. One such mystery is how a bird sleeps,
especially while it's on a branch.
The sleep cycle during our deepest sleep lasts for several minutes, but in birds, it lasts hardly 10 seconds;
they will keep one part of their brain awake, which you might notice when a bird has one eye open. This will allow
birds to run away from a hunt at a moment's notice, even when they' re in the middle of a sleep.To fall asleep, a bird's body goes through a series of changes, one or which is that the muscles lose their
hardness, which happens as a main result of reduced brain control of muscle movement. To stand perfectly
balanced on a branch while the muscles become weak isn't easy. Anyone who has tried to sleep while standing on a
train would know this. So when a bird lowers itself, its talons (爪子) automatically and involuntarily bend and hold
on tightly to the branch, and until the leg is straightened, the talons will not relax. The key behind this
mechanism (机制) is the bird's flexor tendons(屈肌腱) that connect muscles to bones. The flexor tendon stretches,
thus bending the bird's toes.
But a recent paper found that sleeping European starlings (a common bird found in North America and
Europe) don't use the mechanism. The researchers observed that the birds bent their knees only slightly, not
enough for the mechanism to kick into action. The toes, as a result, were largely unbent, and the birds balanced on
the central part of their feet while they slept.
“Birds are varied and unique, exhibiting different bodies, physiologies, and behaviors depending on which
species, genus, or family one studies. Sleep cycles differ just as widely. While we may not know the whole story
yet, there is no denying that it is remarkable that birds manage this balancing act daily” said Salama, who has a
degree in life sciences and biochemistry from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai.
28. What is the main reason birds can escape quickly even while sleeping?
A. Their sleep cycles are very short. B. They keep one part of their brain awake.
C. They sleep with one eye open. D. Their talons hold tightly to the branch.
29. What is the role of flexor tendons in helping birds balance on branches?
A. Stretching to make talons bend and lock. B. Enabling the power of birds' legs.
C. Controlling muscles' hardness and movement. D. Connecting muscles to strengthen their functions.
30. What can we infer from Salama's words?
A. Learning birds' habits needs cooperation. B. Denying birds' importance is unwise.
C. Knowing birds' balancing acts is useful. D. Studying birds' sleep has challenges.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Why Do Birds Require Less Sleep?
B. Why Don't Sleeping Birds Fall Off Branches?
C. Why Do Sleeping Birds Have One Eye Open?
D. Why Do European Starlings Sleep Differently?
D
When AI art generators become popular around the world, a question stays in people's minds: should their
works really be thought of as art? While the technology is still developing and has things to improve, it's clear
we must balance its problems against the amazing artworks that good AI can make.
Art is defined as something made from imagination, skill, experience and emotion, usually created to show
something for people to enjoy. Human artists spend time and effort turning their inner thoughts into real works. In
the same way, AI uses a lot of computing power to look through huge amounts of data, link a user's request to
related information, and try to present it as well as possible. The main difference, though, is that AI follows orders
instead of having a strong feeling to express itself.
With one press or the enter key, AI art generators can produce more than 1,000 original works. But a mass-
produced copy of the Mona Lisa is less valuable than Leonardo da Vinci's real painting. Why? Scarcity——
there's only one true version. This brings up questions: Should anyone pay for AI-generated art? And if an artist
sells AI-made great works, what price is right?
AI art works when a program copies the styles of existing artists to create new pieces based on what people
ask for. But who should get credit for the artwork— the machine or the person using it? Can original artists take
legal action for copyright violation? These questions make it hard to mix AI and the art industry, and also make
more arguments against seeing AI- generated art as art products that can be sold.
Once we solve these problems, we can deal with the biggest question: When an AI- generated painting wins
an award, who should get the prize?
32. What makes AI art different from human art?
A. It doesn't show humans' inner feelings. B. It comes from people's life experience.
C. It needs less money to make. D. It mixes various work styles together.
33. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in paragraph 3?
A. To show classic artworks are well- liked.B. To prove AI painters are better than human artists.
C. To point out possible problems with AI art's value.
D. To suggest a new way to keep art masterpieces.
34. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. AI helps sell more artistic products.
B. Artists can create more works with AI's help.
C. The art industry will have tough competition.
D. AI art makes copyright problems harder to solve.
35 What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain why AI- generated art is more popular than human art.
B. To discuss the arguments and questions around AI- generated art's status.
C. To introduce how AI art generators create original artworks.
D. To prove that AI- generated art should not be seen as real art.

The Art of Being a Good Friend
Everyone wants to be a good friend, but sometimes we might not be sure what it truly means. Being a good
friend isn't just about having fun together; it's about the everyday efforts that strengthen your bond. 36 It's
built on a foundation of trust, support, and respect.
Trust is the first essential element. A trustworthy friend always keeps his promise. If you say you' re going to
do something, follow through. 37 You may feel safe sharing your true thoughts and feelings without fear of
being laughed at or having your secrets told to others.
Another key part is offering support in both good and bad times. Celebrate your friend's successes as if they
were your own. 38 Simply being there, offering a kind word, or helping them with a small task can make a
world of difference.
39 This includes listening to them without interruption and valuing their opinions even when you
disagree. At its heart, respect means that you accept your friend for who they are. No one is perfect, and
disagreements are normal. 40 Talk things through honestly, and be willing to forgive. As a matter of fact, a
true friend values the friendship more than the need to be right.
In the end, being a good friend is a continuous process of learning, understanding, and caring.
A. This doesn't require grand gestures.
B. What matters is how you handle them.
C. It also creates a safe space for honesty.
D. However, it's equally important to be there during tough times.
E. True friendship goes beyond simply sharing hobbies or interests.
r Respect, the third pillar, is shown through your actions and attitudes.
G. Finally, remember that friendship is a two-way street that requires effort from both sides.

Puppies for Sale
A little boy lived in a small town of Northern California called Oxnard. He was a lovely boy but he lost his
left leg in a car accident and had to walk by a false leg(假肢). He couldn't follow other kids.. He felt lonely and
decided to keep a pet dog as his friend.
One day, he walked past a pet shop and saw a sign above the door that said: “Puppies for Sale”. The little boy
asked the shop owner, “I want to buy one of your puppies. Can I please, look at the puppies?”
The pet shop owner got impressed with the honesty of the boy. “Sure,” said the shop owner. He smiled and
whistled loudly. Five puppies ran down the walkway of the pet shop.
The little boy's eyes danced with pleasure. As the puppies made their way towards the fence, the little boy
noticed that one puppy was falling behind. This puppy was limping (跛行) and trying its best to catch up theothers.
Immediately the little boy pointed out towards the limping puppy and asked, “What's wrong with that little
puppy?” The shop owner explained that when the puppy was born the: pet hospital had examined the little puppy
and had discovered there was something wrong with its back leg. It would limp for the rest of his life.
The little boy got really excited and said. “That is the puppy that I want to buy.” The shop owner replied,
“No, that puppy is not for sale. Nobody will buy that puppy due to his disabled leg. He needs extra care and I'm
afraid people might not understand his needs and might not give him-the attention and love he needs.”
