阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
第3页 ，共12页Ice cream may be universally appealing, but many countries have their own
version of ice cream that’s often not called ice cream. Let’s learn about these tasty
“ice creams” around the world and awaken your inner child!
● Raspado, Mexico
Raspados are the Mexican version of American snow cones (冰沙). But while
typical snow cones are made using overly sweet syrup (糖浆), raspados have real
fruits or fresh fruit juices. The sweet and cold treat is everywhere throughout Mexico
and usually sold at street carts. You won’t find Mexicans eating their raspados in
cones (圆锥形蛋卷) since they’re only served in cups.
● Kakigori, Japan
It may be made of ice, but kakigori, the Japanese version of ice cream, is
definitely not a snow cone. It melts in your mouth just like a creamy ice cream.
Chefs make kakigori by shaving ice from ice blocks until it builds into a soft pile.
Kakigori is almost always served in a bowl, and it’s not unusual to find sweet shops
offering toppings as the final touch.
● Gelato, Italy
Pizza and pasta aside, gelato is considered to be Italy’s food symbol. In fact,
visiting the local gelateria is a way of life for Italians. Italian gelato is lower in fat
than traditional ice cream and is made with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring.
● Dondurma, Turkey
An ice cream that doesn’t melt? Yes, that’s exactly what dondurma or Turkish
ice cream is. Dondurma has an elastic texture (弹性口感) and buying dondurma is
like watching a performance. The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish clothes,
twist and turn the ice cream until it lands into the cone to be served.
21. What is a feature of Raspado?
A. It is served with syrups.
B. It is usually served in cones.
C. It is rarely sold at street carts.
D. It contains real fruits or fruit juices.
22. Which type of “ice cream” is greatly fitted into the social life of local people?
A. Raspado. B. Kakigori.
C. Gelato. D. Dondurma.
23. What is special about Dondurma?
A. The low fat level it has. B. The interesting way it’s served.
C. Its popularity among people. D. Its unusual flavor
combinations.
B
第4页 ，共12页At the age of 75, the Italian female traveler Vienna, inspired by Marco Polo as
her spiritual model, measured the vast expanse of China’s land with her own feet,
painting a vivid picture of cultural exchanges across time and space.
Her heart was filled with a thirst for the unknown world and a longing for
Chinese culture. This feeling came from an encounter with a Beijing-based
international student over two decades ago, and it got stronger upon reading The
Travels of Marco Polo. The Ancient Silk Road described in the book served as a link
between the East and the West, connecting Vienna’s dreams with reality.
In her pursuit of Marco Polo’s footsteps, Vienna encountered loneliness,
tiredness, and even life-threatening situations. An encounter with wild dogs in a
foreign land left her injured, forcing her to stop her journey for the time being.
However, these hardships did not threaten her. Instead, they served as precious trials
that made her value each encounter with different cultures even more.
While tracing Marco Polo’s footsteps, Vienna also researched deeply into
Chinese culture. She visited various Confucius Institutes, engaging in exchanges and
learning with local students, therefore gaining a deep understanding of the virtues of
“benevolence” and “harmony” contained in Confucianism. To Vienna, both Marco
Polo and Confucius were great figures who promoted world peace and exchange.
Marco Polo promoted cultural exchange and integration between the East and the
West through trade and observation, while Confucius advocated harmony among
people with his deep thoughts. Despite being separated by a thousand years, they
resonated (产生共鸣) amazingly in Vienna’s journey.
24. What increased Vienna’s desire for Chinese culture?
A. Her childhood dream. B. A student from Beijing.
C. The book The Travels of Marco Polo. D. Interest in the outside world.
25. Why did Vienna have to stop her journey temporarily?
A. She felt extremely lonely and tired.
B. She wanted to learn more about local cultures first.
C. She was discouraged by the hardships.
D. She got hurt in an encounter with wild dogs.
26. What do Marco Polo and Confucius have in common according to Vienna?
A. They both advocated peace and exchange.
B. They both encouraged travel and adventure.
C. They both wrote famous books about China.
D. They both promoted harmony through trade.
27. Which of the following best describes Vienna?
A. Ambitious and determined. B. Considerate and modest.
C. Creative and honest. D. Responsible and generous.
C
第5页 ，共12页CO concentrations in the atmosphere keep rising, and the world’s oceans are
2
flooded with plastics, putting marine environments and ecosystems at risk. The key
global problems are often interconnected, and typically, the solution to one problem
brings about another problem. But what if we could solve several problems at the
same time?
It’s almost too good to be true, but a new cutting-edge invention promises to do
just that. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have developed a method,
where one man’s trash really does become another man’s “treasure”, when PET
plastic becomes the main ingredient in efficient CO capture (捕获).
2
“The beauty of this method is that we solve a problem without creating a new
one. By turning waste into a raw material that can actively reduce greenhouse gases,
we make an environmental issue part of the solution to the climate crisis,” says
Margarita Poderyte from the University of Copenhagen.
The solution is a potential win-win on a global scale, where plastic waste not
only does not end up in nature but also becomes an active player in climate
improvement. The new technology can transform PET plastic waste into a new
material the researchers have named BAETA, which can absorb CO out of the
2
atmosphere so efficiently that it easily compares with existing carbon capture
technologies.
The BAETA material’s powder-like structure and “upgraded” surface enable it
to very effectively combine and capture CO . Once it reaches the maximum volume,
2
CO can be released through a heating process, allowing the CO to be
2 2
concentrated, collected and stored or changed into a sustainable resource. Compared
with existing technologies, this process is relatively mild and highly suitable for
industrial-scale applications.
28. What can we know about the global environmental problems?
A. Their solutions often end in failure.
B. Ocean pollution is the toughest one to deal with.
C. They are rooted in increasing CO concentrations.
2
D. They may create new challenges when one is solved.
29. What can be concluded about the new method mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. It produces another trash.
B. It is based on existing technologies.
C. It sounds unrealistic but works well.
D. It badly needs further improvement.
30. What does the text imply about BAETA?
A. It can transform plastic waste into valuable materials.
第6页 ，共12页B. It is not as efficient as existing CO capture technologies.
2
C. It allows the captured CO to be released for certain purposes.
2
D. It involves a process too difficult for industrial-scale applications.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A. More Efforts to Reduce Plastic Waste
B. Turning Plastic Waste into Climate Savers
C. The Harm of CO to Marine Ecosystems
2
D. Inventing New Materials for Daily Use
D
It was obvious with Pinocchio. Every time he told a lie his nose grew longer. But
for the rest of us in real life, the result of telling lies isn’t so evident. Is it possible
that there are unseen consequences to dishonesty?
Since lies are carried by speech, and speech originates in the brain, is it possible
that telling lies results in changes in the brain that are not outwardly observable?
Psychologists Julia Lee and Ashley Hardin wanted to find out.
Drs. Lee and Hardin set up a series of studies to explore the question of
dishonesty, with 250 pairs of individuals. In each pair, one was assigned the task of
either lying or telling the truth. The other member of the pair was instructed to
evaluate the emotions of the lying or truth-telling partner. Each of the partners was
then assigned the task of evaluating the emotions of the other partner.
The research found that subjects who were asked to be dishonest were
significantly worse at detecting the emotional state of their partners than those who
told the truth. Surprisingly, the small, seemingly unimportant moments of dishonesty
clouded an individual’s ability to read the emotions of another individual later on.
To determine how well the participants could read other people’s emotions, the
researchers then had the subjects watch a series of short video clips. In the clips,
actors expressed a wide range of emotions. The participants were then asked to
identify the emotional state of the actors. Once again, the researchers consistently
found that those who likely did lie, ended up performing worse on the test of
empathetic (感同身受的) accuracy than those who didn’t lie.
We live in a world where businesses, social life, and personal relationships
depend on the ability of individuals to interact well with other people. And to interact
with them we often need to be able to determine their emotions. As most of us
learned in kindergarten: it’s important to tell the truth.
32. What is the aim of the studies?
A. To teach people how to detect lies. B. To explain the Pinocchio Effect.
第7页 ，共12页C. To test if lying causes brain changes. D. To explore the motive for lying.
33. What does the underlined word “clouded” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Weakened. B. Monitored.
C. Cleared. D. Improved.
34. What were the participants mainly asked to do in the studies?
A. To tell a lie. B. To record body languages.
C. To rate others’ performances. D. To identify others’ emotions.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The reasons for telling lies. B. The application of the study.
C. The complexity of social interaction. D. The necessity of being honest.

中有两项为多余选项。
With everything going on in the world, it’s no wonder so many of us are
struggling to sleep. 36 And it’s hard to fall back asleep again. However,
simple steps before bed can help.
Test your pillow. If you bought your pillow in 2023, it’s already old. The
National Sleep Foundation suggests replacing your pillow every one to two years.
37 “When your brain is sending pain signals, it can’t send sleep signals,”
‘
says Dr Michael J Breus, a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist.
Get an hour of sunlight each day. Morning sunlight is important for good
sleep. “It stops producing melatonin (褪黑素) in your brain, which helps relieve
the sleepy morning feeling,” Breus says. It also sets a mental timer to produce
melatonin, the so-called sleep hormone, that evening. Aim for 15 to 30 minutes of
direct light first and two 15-minute outdoor breaks during the day. 3 8
Skip salty snacks before bed. In a Japanese study, researchers followed 321
patients with high-salt diets and sleep issues for 12 weeks. 39 And those
who consumed more salt woke up more often to go to the bathroom.
. 4 0 If you need to air complaints to your family, don’t wait until night.
Tough discussions are less likely to disturb your sound sleep if you initiate them
earlier. Arguments can activate your nervous system, which disturbs sleep. Some
research even suggest that going to bed with anger may make you bad-
tempered the next morning.
A. Communicate actively with your family.
B. Handle your troubles before dinner time.
第8页 ，共12页C. It signals your brain that it is time to be awake.
D. It’s normal to wake up at night, especially as you age.
E. A used one in the past can cause neck pain and restless sleep.
F. It contributes to nutrition supply when you’re exposed to light.
G. When people cut them down, their average toilet trips decreased.

A Chinese cartoon character 5 6 (name) Labubu recently joined the famous
Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York. This fun event showed something new about
China’s global image. For a long time, most foreigners 57 (see) China
through its ancient history and huge engineering projects. However, Labubu

unique character that brings simple joy. Smiling children took selfies with it, and
adults enjoyed its lively energy.
60 (it) success is part of a bigger trend. Companies like Pop Mart use
“blind box” toys to make collecting fun, which helped Labubu become popular.
More importantly, its 61 (appear) in a classic American parade proves that
Chinese culture can now share not only products, 62 experiences and feelings
with the world. Unlike official messages, Labubu carries no political ideas. Its power
comes 63 (pure) from being likable and fun. It shows that China is learning to
use soft power in a modern way. The phrase “Made in China” is gaining a new
meaning — it can stand 64 creativity, humor, and the ability 65
(connect) with people’s hearts across cultures.

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。
Last month, our community launched a volunteer program to build and manage a
shared garden. Posters were displayed at the gate, calling for residents to join hands
in planting flowers, growing vegetables, and maintaining the environment. The idea
of turning an abandoned piece of land into a green garden immediately appealed to
me. I phoned my two close friends, Mike and Lily, who lived in the same
neighborhood, and invited them to participate. To my delight, both agreed, excited to
contribute to something meaningful for our community.
On the first Saturday morning, the three of us arrived at the empty land chosen
for the garden. Several community workers were already there, preparing the soil
and arranging tools. We were soon divided into groups, each responsible for
different tasks. Mike, who had a gift for design, volunteered to plan the layout of the
flower beds. Lily and I began planting seeds, watering, and labeling each plant
carefully. The sun was very hot, and sweat ran down our faces, yet the laughter
around us made every minute worthwhile. Some neighbors passing by offered
第11页 ，共12页bottles of water and even joined us, saying how wonderful it was to see young
people caring for the neighborhood. By the end of the day, the once-bare ground
was covered with rows of green shoots, silently promising a bright future.
As weeks went by, the garden began to take shape. The air was filled with the
smell of fresh earth and blooming flowers. Elderly neighbors stopped by to watch,
children came to water the plants after school, and families enjoyed evening walks
along the paths we had created. However, as summer approached, the enthusiasm
started to grow weaker. Some volunteers got busy, and weeds began to grow
quickly. Without regular care, several plants dried up in the heat. Seeing the yellow
leaves and dry soil, I couldn’t help feeling disappointed and worried. Something
had to be done if we wanted the garden to survive.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
One afternoon, I gathered Mike and Lily to discuss how to manage the garden
better.
Months later, I walked through the garden again and was amazed by its beauty.
