Passage（1）
【吉林省长春市实验中学2024-2025 学年高三上学期期末】Time and money are life’s most valuable
resources. One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money. The phrase “time is money” is usually
credited to Benjamin Franklin, who used it in an essay (Advice to a Young Tradesman.1748) 16 He
encouraged people to treat time like money. However, most people think about time and money in vastly different
ways.
Time is our most scarce (稀缺) resource. Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 17
In a world of scarcity, choosing one thing means not being able to do something else.
18 Time is relatively scarce for people with higher incomes, partly because their time is more
valuable. So, to have lots of time, rich people hire other people to do their household chores. However, a non-
working person may spend more time on household chores.
Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is
that we cannot save time. Time moves on whether we choose to spend it or not. 19 However, when
people are made aware of their mortality (生命的有限), they wonder if they did make the most of their lives.
In sum, time is anything but free. As a non-renewable resource, time is quite expensive. 20 They
do their best to think of their time as unlimited, and unlimited goods have little value. Knowing that time is limited
encourages us to ask how we are using our time. Do we want to spend these precious moments on social media or
spend that time learning something new? Skills and knowledge take time so the more time you spend on them, the
more you improve.
A．It cannot be bought at any price.
B．It means time is a valuable resource.
C．The value of time varies from person to person.
D．Some people fail to realize that time is scarce
E．Thus, each of us faces the choice of how to spend our time.
F．You can’t bottle time and exchange it for an object or event.
G．Actually, time and money are greatly different from each other.
【答案】16．B 17．E 18．C 19．F 20．D
【导语】这是一篇议论文。时间和金钱是生命中最宝贵的资源，文章引用本杰明·富兰克林的观点，详细阐
述了时间是一种宝贵的资源。
16．根据上文“One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money.(经济学的一条伟大定律是时间等
于金钱)”及下文“He encouraged people to treat time like money.(他鼓励人们把时间当作金钱来对待)”可知，
经济学认为时间就是金钱，设空处承上启下，B 选项“It means time is a valuable resource.(这意味着时间是
一种宝贵的资源)”符合题意。故选B 项。
17．根据前文“Time is our most scarce (稀缺) resource. Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
(时间是我们最稀缺的资源。无论贫穷还是富有，我们都有一天24 小时，一周7 天)”以及后文“In a world
of scarcity, choosing one thing means not being able to do something else.(在一个稀缺的世界里，选择一件事就
意味着不能做其他的事)”可知，此处讲述时间稀缺，应该如何选择度过，所以E 项“Thus, each of us faces
the choice of how to spend our time.(因此，我们每个人都面临着如何度过时间的选择)”符合本段主题，和前
文构成因果关系。故选E 项。
18．设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“Time is relatively scarce for people with higher incomes, partly
because their time is more valuable. So, to have lots of time, rich people hire other people to do their household
chores. However, a non-working person may spend more time on household chores.(对于收入高的人来说，时间
相对来说是稀缺的，部分原因是他们的时间更有价值。所以，为了有更多的时间，富人会雇人帮他们做家
务。然而，一个不工作的人可能会花更多的时间在家务上)”可知，本段主要讲述了每个人的时间价值不同，
所以C 项“The value of time varies from person to person.(时间的价值因人而异)”符合本段主题，为中心句。
故选C 项。
19．根据前文“Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited
resources is that we cannot save time. Time moves on whether we choose to spend it or not.(时间是无法储存的。
我们很少考虑如何使用有限的资源的原因之一是我们无法储存时间。不管我们是否愿意花时间，时间都在
流逝)”可知，此处讲述时间无法储存，所以F 项“You can’t bottle time and exchange it for an object or event.
(你不能把时间装在瓶子里，然后用它来交换一个对象或事件)”符合本段主题。故选F 项。
20．根据前文“In sum, time is anything but free. As a non-renewable resource, time is quite expensive.(总之，时
间绝不是免费的。时间作为一种不可再生资源，是非常昂贵的)”以及后文“They do their best to think of
their time as unlimited, and unlimited goods have little value.(他们竭力认为自己的时间是无限的，而无限的商
品几乎没有价值)”可知，前文讲述时间的宝贵，后文讲述有人竭力认为自己的时间是无限的，所以空处应
是一个转折句，D 项“Some people fail to realize that time is scarce.(有些人没有意识到时间是宝贵的)”符合文
意，承接上文，引出下文。故选D 项。
Passage（2）
【江苏省苏州中学、海门中学、姜堰中学、淮阴中学等四校2024-2025 学年高三下学期2 月联考】
Caregiver stress is the name for a type of stress that affects caregivers specifically. 16 If you look after
someone and feel similar emotional experiences, then you may be suffering from caregiver stress and should get it
addressed as soon as possible.
Caregiver stress is all too common. 17 If you then need to cook for someone else, help them to get
dressed and take them to the doctor — everyday — you can end up totally exhausted. You might worry about them
whenever they are left alone. This then prevents you from doing the things you want to do. There are even financial
issues to consider. On top of this, you might feel unappreciated, arguing regularly with the person you’re caring for.
18
When you ask for advice, you are likely to hear that you should send them into a home, hire extra care or get
assistance from other family members. If you can do this, you absolutely should, for the sake of you both.
19 Getting care can be very expensive and some dependents (被照顾者) will be resistant to the
idea. If you can’t change the situation, you need to protect yourself. Setting clear boundaries can help a lot. Find an
outlet, whether it be a walk in the park or a gym session. 20 While you might feel stressed doing these
things and your dependent might not like it, it is once again important for the health and safety of both you and
your dependent. If you burn out, then you won’t be any use to them.
A．Taking regular holidays is also important.
B．Is it any wonder that caregiver stress is such a big issue?
C．First, acknowledge that you are experiencing caregiver stress.
D．The sufferers tend to feel exhausted, annoyed and even guilty.
E．But while this advice sounds good in theory, it is not that easy.
F．Your personal relationships suffer and you have no leisure time.
G．For most of us, looking after ourselves is stressful and tiring enough.
【答案】16．D 17．G 18．B 19．E 20．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是照顾者压力，其影响以及如何应对这种压力。
16．根据上文“Caregiver stress is the name for a type of stress that affects caregivers specifically.(照顾者压力是
一种特别影响照顾者的压力)”可知，上文提到照顾者压力的内涵，推测本句承接上文，说明照顾者压力给
患者带来的感受。故D 选项“患者往往感到疲惫、烦恼甚至内疚”符合语境，故选D。
17．根据上文“Caregiver stress is all too common.(照顾者的压力太普遍了)”以及下文“If you then need to
cook for someone else, help them to get dressed and take them to the doctor — everyday — you can end up totally
exhausted.(如果你需要为别人做饭，帮他们穿衣服，带他们去看医生——每天——你可能会筋疲力尽)”可知，
下文提到照顾别人会导致筋疲力尽，推测本句是在说明导致疲惫的其他因素，故G 选项“对我们大多数人
来说，照顾自己已经够有压力、够累的了”符合语境，故选G。
18．根据上文“If you then need to cook for someone else, help them to get dressed and take them to the doctor —
everyday — you can end up totally exhausted. You might worry about them whenever they are left alone. This then
prevents you from doing the things you want to do. There are even financial issues to consider. On top of this, you
might feel unappreciated, arguing regularly with the person you’re caring for.(如果你需要为别人做饭，帮他们穿
衣服，带他们去看医生——每天——你可能会筋疲力尽。当他们独自一人的时候，你可能会担心他们。这
会阻碍你做你想做的事情。甚至还有财务问题需要考虑。最重要的是，你可能会觉得不被欣赏，经常和你
关心的人争吵)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，再次肯定照顾者的压力是确实存在的问题，故
B 选项“照顾者的压力是一个大问题，这有什么好奇怪的吗？”符合语境，故选B。
19．根据下文“Getting care can be very expensive and some dependents (被照顾者) will be resistant to the idea.
(获得护理可能非常昂贵，一些家属会抵制这个想法)”可知，下文提到家属抵制寻找护理的方案，推测实施
中遇到困难。故E 选项“虽然这个建议在理论上听起来不错，但做起来并不容易”符合语境，故选E。
20．根据上文“Find an outlet, whether it be a walk in the park or a gym session.(找一个发泄方式，无论是在公
园散步还是在健身房锻炼)”以及下文“While you might feel stressed doing these things and your dependent
might not like it, it is once again important for the health and safety of both you and your dependent. If you burn
out, then you won’t be any use to them.(虽然做这些事情你可能会感到压力，你的依赖者可能不喜欢，但这对
你和你的依赖者的健康和安全都很重要。如果你精疲力尽了，那你对他们就没有任何用处了)”可知，本句
与上文并列，都是在说明照顾者如何照顾自我的建议，故A 选项“定期休假也很重要”符合语境，故选
A。
Passage（3）
【江西省赣州市赣抚吉十五校联考2024-2025 学年高三上学期12 月月考】Strong communication skills
can help you in both your personal and professional life. While verbal and written communication skills are
important, research has shown that nonverbal behaviors make up a large percentage of our daily interpersonal
communication. If you want to improve your ability to read other people’s nonverbal communication behaviors,
these tips can help:
Pay attention to your own behaviors. Notice the gestures you use when you’re happy versus ( 对抗) when
you’re upset. 16 Being aware of your own nonverbal communication tendencies is the first step to
change the ones you want to change. It can also give you insight into how you’re feeling if you’re having trouble
putting it into words.
Become a student of others. 17 What do their facial expressions say? What type of gestures do
they use? Becoming familiar with their nonverbal communication patterns helps you recognize when they might be
feeling a certain way quicker because you’re actively watching for these cues. It can also help you recognize
nonverbal behaviors you may want to adopt yourself.
Think before you act. When a car cuts you off, especially your young child is in the back seat, your middle
finger seems to automatically fly up. 18 Train yourself to stop and think before you act. This can help
you eliminate or replace nonverbal behaviors that you’ve been wanting to change.
19 Certain types of nonverbal communication can mean different things in different cultures. They
can also vary based on someone’s personality. Before assuming that a person’s body language or tone means
something definitively, ask “I notice that you won’t look me in the eye when we speak. Are you upset with me?”
20
A．Ask before you assume.
B．Develop your emotional intelligence.
C．You can work to stop this reaction, or you will regret it as soon as it happens.
D．Paying closer attention to your nonverbal signals is an excellent place to start.
E．It can be helpful to consider how others around you communicate nonverbally.
F．Give them the opportunity to explain how they are feeling so you know for sure.
G．And then think about how you change the tone of your voice depending on your emotions.
【答案】16．G 17．E 18．C 19．A 20．F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何提升解读他人非言语沟通行为的能力。
16．空前“Notice the gestures you use when you’re happy versus (对抗) when you’re upset.(注意你高兴和不高
兴时的手势)”说明要注意你自己高兴和不高兴时用的手势，高兴和不高兴都是情绪，空后“Being aware of
your own nonverbal communication tendencies is the first step to change the ones you want to change.(意识到自己
的非语言沟通倾向是改变你想要改变的第一步)”说明了意识到自己的非语言沟通倾向是改变你想要改变的
第一步，空格处应该和“非语言沟通倾向”及“情绪”有关，G 选项“And then think about how you change
the tone of your voice depending on your emotions.(然后想想你是如何根据自己的情绪来改变语气的)”说明了
想想自己如何根据情绪来改变语气，“语气”是非语言沟通倾向，也提到了情绪，因此符合语境，故选
G。
17．空前“Become a student of others.(成为别人的学生)”说明了要向别人学习，E 选项“It can be helpful to
consider how others around you communicate nonverbally.(考虑一下你周围的人是如何用非语言交流的，这是
很有帮助的)”说明了要看看周围的人是如何用非语言交流的，也就是向别人学习，承接上文，符合语境，
故选E。

automatically fly up.(当一辆车挡住你，尤其是你的小孩坐在后座上时，你的中指似乎会自动翘起来)”举的是
一个人会冲动的例子，本段主旨句是“Think before you act.(三思而后行)”，说明本段是关于三思而后行的，
空后“Train yourself to stop and think before you act.(训练自己在行动之前停下来想一想)”说明了你可以在自
己冲动行事前先想一想，也就是你可以努力使自己停止冲动的行为，C 选项“You can work to stop this
reaction, or you will regret it as soon as it happens.(你可以努力阻止这种反应，否则一旦发生，你就会后悔)”
说明了你可以努力停止冲动的行为，承上启下，符合语境，故选C。
19．空格处是本段主旨句，由空后“Before assuming that a person’s body language or tone means something
definitively, ask “I notice that you won’t look me in the eye when we speak. Are you upset with me?”(在假设一个
人的肢体语言或语气意味着什么之前，问问“我注意到当我们说话的时候你不会看着我的眼睛。”你生我
的气了吗？”)”可知，本段主要讲的是在猜测之前直接问，A 选项“Ask before you assume.(假设之前先问
问)”说明了在你做出假设之前先问，概括了本段主要内容，可作为主旨句，故选A。
20．空前“Before assuming that a person’s body language or tone means something definitively, ask “I notice that
you won’t look me in the eye when we speak. Are you upset with me?”(在假设一个人的肢体语言或语气意味着

Passage（4）
【江西省吉安市六校协作体2025 学年高三上学期1 月联考】Whether it’s woodworking, sewing or
sculpting teeny cupcakes, making art is good for your mind and body. 36 And developing our creative side
can give us a stronger sense of agency — the ability to solve problems by imagining possible solutions.
But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get in on those health benefits. All you need to do is just make
art. And the more you do it, the better. 37
You don’t need to be an artist with a capital “A”.
We tend to think that only people who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but really, anyone
can be an artist. 38 In fact, research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between
those who identify as experienced artists and those who don’t. That means that no matter your skill level, you’ll be
able to feel all the good things that come with making art.
Figure out your mode of creative expression.
Start with whatever you enjoy. But keep an open mind. 39 You can do that through many activities:
finger painting, cooking, baking, oil painting, weaving — the sky’s the limit. And don’t feel like you have to stick
to one thing. Mix it up — do whatever you’re in the mood for.
40
Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Mess around! Let yourself get lost in the process
and just play. Because it’s the physical act of making art that induces those feelings of stress relief and positive
energy — not what you make or how you make it.
A．Be ready to take others’ advice.
B．Take control of the waves of emotion.
C．Everyone is capable of creative expression.
D．Focus on the making and let go of expectations.
E．Anything that engages your creative mind is good for you.
F．The act of creation can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood.
G．Here are several things you need to know to kick-start your creative art habit.
【答案】36．F 37．G 38．C 39．E 40．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了艺术创作对身心健康的好处，以及如何开始和培养艺术创作习
惯。
36．根据上文“Whether it’s woodworking, sewing or sculpting teeny cupcakes, making art is good for your mind
and body.(无论是木工、缝纫还是雕刻小蛋糕，艺术创作对你的身心都有好处)”和下文“And developing our
creative side can give us a stronger sense of agency—the ability to solve problems by imagining possible solutions.
(发展我们的创造力可以给我们更强的代理感——通过想象可能的解决方案来解决问题的能力)”可知，上下
文都在说明艺术创作的好处，所以空白处应承接上文，继续说明艺术创作的好处。选项F“创作行为可以减
轻压力和焦虑，改善你的心情”符合语境。故选F。
37．根据上文“But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get in on those health benefits. All you need to do is
just make art. And the more you do it, the better.(但你不必成为一名全职艺术家才能获得这些健康益处。你所
要做的就是进行艺术创作。而且你做得越多，效果越好)”可知，上文引出了进行艺术创作的方法，所以空
白处应承接上文，具体说明如何进行艺术创作。选项G“以下是你需要知道的几件事，以启动你的创造性艺
术习惯”引出下文进行艺术创作的方法，符合语境。故选G。
38．根据上文“We tend to think that only people who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but really,
anyone can be an artist.(我们往往认为只有非常擅长艺术的人才能称自己为艺术家，但实际上，任何人都可
以成为艺术家)”和下文“That means that no matter your skill level, you’ll be able to feel all the good things that
come with making art.(这意味着，无论你的技能水平如何，你都能感受到艺术创作带来的所有好处)”可知，
上下文都在说明任何人都可以进行艺术创作，所以空白处应承接上下文，继续说明这一点。选项C“每个人
都有能力进行创造性表达”符合语境。故选C。
39．根据上文“Start with whatever you enjoy. But keep an open mind.(从你喜欢的任何事情开始。但要保持开
放的心态)”和下文“You can do that through many activities: finger painting, cooking, baking, oil painting,
weaving—the sky’s the limit. And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing. Mix it up—do whatever you’re in
the mood for.(你可以通过许多活动来做到这一点：手指画、烹饪、烘焙、油画、编织——天空才是极限。
而且不要觉得你必须坚持一件事。混合起来——做你想做的任何事情)”可知，上下文都在说明可以通过很
多活动来进行艺术创作，所以空白处应承接上下文，继续说明这一点。选项E“任何能激发你创造力的事情
都对你有好处”符合语境。故选E。
40．空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Mess around!
Let yourself get lost in the process and just play. Because it’s the physical act of making art that induces those
feelings of stress relief and positive energy—not what you make or how you make it.(一旦你有了艺术材料，有趣
的部分就来了。随便摆弄吧！让自己沉浸在这个过程中，尽情玩耍。因为正是创作艺术这一行为本身带来

【江西省九江市十校联考2024-2025 学年高三下学期2 月月考】Injuries at work can happen at any
moment so it’s important that you know what to do if you have sustained a work injury in order to obtain the
compensation for medical expenses and lost wages that you are due. Below we list some steps you should take if
you’ve been injured on the job.
Promptly (及时地) report the injury.
Often, work injury claims are denied by workers’ compensation insurance companies and employers if the
injury is not promptly reported. 16 . You should also provide as much detail as possible so that there is
evidence of when you reported your injury.
Seek medical attention.
You should always seek the proper medical attention following an injury. 17 . And it’s especially
important that you consult with your doctor. This is because your doctor will provide argument later.
It’s also important that you tell your doctor your injury is work-related and to follow your doctor’s exact
instructions on caring for your injury.
18
Whenever you have an interaction with your employer or an insurance representative about your injury, you
need to record the date, time, and what was discussed. Keeping a record of these interactions can prove to be useful
if your workers’ comp claim is denied. 19 .
Fill a claim.
In most cases, your employer should be responsible for sending your claim form and all necessary
documentation to the workers’ compensation insurance carrier. Your employer may also be required to report your
injury to the state workers’ compensation board.
20 . If the claim is denied, you can request a reconsideration or file an appeal through your state
worker’ compensation commission.
A．Provide detailed information
B．Keep a record of interactions
C．When it comes to work injuries, this is no different
D．You should also keep a record of interactions with your doctor
E．You’d better report your injury to your family as soon as possible

16．根据上文“Often, work injury claims are denied by workers’ compensation insurance companies and
employers if the injury is not promptly reported.(通常，如果伤害没有及时报告，工伤索赔被工人赔偿保险公
司和雇主拒绝)”可知，上文提到没有及时报告知道被拒绝索赔，故本句是在强调及时报告的重要性。故G
选项“这就是为什么尽快向雇主报告你的受伤情况是至关重要的”符合语境，故选G。
17．根据上文“You should always seek the proper medical attention following an injury.(受伤后，你应该及时
就医)”以及下文“And it’s especially important that you consult with your doctor. This is because your doctor will
provide argument later.(尤其重要的是，你要咨询你的医生。这是因为你的医生稍后会提供论据)”可知，本段
主要讲述受了工伤及时就医，前文讲了受伤就要就医，所以这里说到工伤也是如此，没有区别，故C 选项
“当涉及到工伤时，这也不例外”符合语境，故选C。
18．根据本段内容“Whenever you have an interaction with your employer or an insurance representative about
your injury, you need to record the date, time, and what was discussed. Keeping a record of these interactions can
prove to be useful if your workers’ comp claim is denied.(无论何时你和你的雇主或保险代表就你的伤害进行互
动，你都需要记录下日期、时间和讨论的内容。如果你的员工的赔偿要求被拒绝，记录这些互动是很有用
的)”可知，本段主要讲解你和雇主以及保险代表的一切互动都要记录保留，故B 选项“记录互动”符合语
境，故选B。

应该记录你和医生的互动情况”符合语境，故选D。
20．根据下文“If the claim is denied, you can request a reconsideration or file an appeal through your state
worker’ compensation commission.(如果索赔被拒绝，你可以要求重新考虑或向你所在州的工人赔偿委员会
提出上诉)”可知，下文提到了索赔被拒绝的情况，推测本句是在说明提出索赔后遭遇的情况。故F 选项
“一旦你提出索赔，保险公司要么批准，要么拒绝”符合语境，故选F。

【辽宁省丹东市五校协作体2024-2025 学年高三上学期12 月月考】How to improve the taste of your drinking
water
Like many people, you may drink less plain water than you did when you were younger. There are a lot of
possible reasons for this: Your sense of thirst may become weaker with age. 36 Therefore, hydration (水合
作用) is crucial for good health, and there are plenty of ways to improve the taste of your drinking water.
Try a water filter pitcher
A water filter pitcher can improve the taste and smell of what comes out of your tap. Consumer Reports tests
these products by adding water with nontoxic additives that copy the odor and flavor of rotten vegetables, damp
soil, metal or moldy compost (发霉的堆肥). 37
38
You might also think about buying an under-the-sink water filter. We’ve found that the under-the-sink filters
in Consumer Reports’ tests improve water’s taste and odor slightly better than water pitcher filters do.
Add flavor
If even filtered water doesn’t taste great, you can doctor it a bit. 39 Or fill a pitcher with fruits and
herbs you like: Citrus, cucumber, berries, melons, basil and mint are a few possibilities.
Make it sparkle
40 Dissolve it yourself with seltzer (苏打水) makers from brands like SodaStream and Drinkmate.
A．Consider an upgrade.
B．Check your water quality.
C．And some older adults may no longer find the taste of water appealing.
D．Leave your pitcher or glass out on the countertop or microwave it briefly to warm it.
E．A splash of 100 percent fruit juice can be a good way to add a little flavor to a glass of water.
F．Then a panel of professional tasters evaluates how well each filter removes unpleasant tastes and smells.
G．If you find bubbly water appealing, carbonation (炭化作用) is another way to improve water’s taste.

加无毒添加剂来测试这些产品，这些添加剂可以模仿腐烂蔬菜、潮湿土壤、金属或发霉堆肥的气味和味
道)”可知，选项承接上文说明专业品酒师的具体操作。故F 选项“然后由专业品酒师组成的小组评估每种
过滤器去除难闻味道和气味的效果。”故选F 项。
38．根据下文“You might also think about buying an under-the-sink water filter. We’ve found that the under-the-
sink filters in Consumer Reports’ tests improve water’s taste and odor slightly better than water pitcher filters do.
(你也可以考虑买一个水槽下面的水过滤器。在《消费者报告》的测试中，我们发现水槽下的过滤器改善水

something sweet, perhaps a sweet drink or a chocolate bar to lift your mood. 16
But a study suggests that sugar can make you feel worse rather than lift your mood. The German and UK
researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1,300 adults. 17 Those emotions include anger,
alertness, depression and tiredness. They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less
alert within an hour, and that these feelings become more intense over time.
According to researchers, when people take in sugar, their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst
of energy and a short “feel good” period. However, as they begin to digest the sugar, their blood sugar levels
decrease quickly, leading to a bad feeling. 18 As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing,
leaving people being tired and less alert.
19 According to WHO, it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk,
so long as they make up less than 5 percent of our daily total energy intake.
So the next time you feel tired and can’t concentrate on study and work, perhaps you should think twice
before you bite into a chocolate bar. There are still other ways to relieve tiredness. 20
A．Maybe a little exercise at midday is a better idea.
B．So cutting sweet food out of the diet is a good choice.
C．They studied the effect of sugar on some aspects of mood.
D．After all, it’s believed that a “sugar rush” gives you energy.
E．Sugar in any form is not necessarily good for the human body.
F．But the result of the study doesn’t mean giving up sweet food altogether.
G．To remain on a “high”, people may eat more sugar until they become addicted to it.

Passage（8）
【2025 届黑龙江省“六校联盟”高三上学期联合适应性考试】Find an insect in your food can be a
moment of horror that kills the mood and you appetite immediately. But that might be about to change. 16
The market research predicts the global market for edible (可食用的) insects will grow sharply. So whats
behind this expected increase in appetite for insects? 17 And the answer lies in understanding how insects
compare to other food types in terms of production and farming.
Insects produce less harmful gas than most mainstream farm animals per kilo of live weight. A cow, for
example, produces 2.8 kg of greenhouse gas per kilo of live body weight. Insects, on the other hand,produce just 2
grams. 18 Far each kilo it weighs, a cow needs 10 kg of feed. Insects, on the other hand,need just 1.7 kg.
Water, which is becoming an increasingly rare resource in some parts of the world and is used liberally in
intensive farming, offers another interesting comparison. To produce a single gram of insect protein, you’d need 23
litres of water. 19 But to get that same gram of protein from cattle, you need 112 litres of water.
20 Compared with raising traditional livestock (家畜) such as sheep, pigs or cattle, farming insects
generally means that there will be no more dealing with mud and dirt and an end to changing heavy bags of feed.
And forget about having to go outdoors in all weather conditions to manhandle livestock. The requirement for
investment in equipment will be different, too. This will be farming on a much smaller scale,reducing the need for
large and expensive machinery.
It may not be too long before we can all buy bag of edible insects at our local grocery store.
A．That might sound like a lot.
B．There are a number of factors in play.
C．Possibly, well soon be voluntarily enjoying insects.
D．Insects weigh much less than traditional farm animals.
E．For farmers, raising insects can be much easier and save money.
F．The majority of individuals have a strong dislike for insects.
G．They also consume fewer resources than traditional livestock.
【答案】16．C 17．B 18．G 19．A 20．E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了食用昆虫市场将大幅增长及其背后原因。
16．由上文“Find an insect in your food can be a moment of horror that kills the mood and you appetite
immediately. But that might be about to change. (在食物中发现昆虫可能会立刻破坏心情和食欲，但这种情况
可能即将改变)”可知，人们对昆虫的态度可能会转变。C 选项“Possibly, we’ll soon be voluntarily enjoying
insects. (可能，我们很快就会自愿地享用昆虫)”符合语境，表明人们可能会从厌恶昆虫到自愿吃昆虫，是对
上文“可能改变”的进一步说明，故选C。
17．由上文“So what’s behind this expected increase in appetite for insects? (那么，这种昆虫食欲预期增长的
背后是什么？)”以及下文“And the answer lies in understanding how insects compare to other food types in
terms of production and farming. (答案在于了解昆虫在生产和养殖方面与其他食物类型的比较情况)”可知，
本空应回答上文的问题，并引出对昆虫食欲增长背后原因的阐述。B 选项“There are a number of factors in
play. (有许多因素在起作用)”能很好地承接上文的问题，并引出下文对因素的说明，符合语境，故选B。
18．由下文“Far each kilo it weighs, a cow needs 10 kg of feed. Insects, on the other hand, need just 1.7 kg. (每
公斤体重，一头牛需要 10 公斤饲料。另一方面，昆虫只需要 1.7 公斤)”可知，本空应强调昆虫消耗的资
源比其它家畜少。G 选项“They also consume fewer resources than traditional livestock. (它们也比传统家畜消
耗更少的资源)”能引出下文，符合语境，故选G。
19．由上文“To produce a single gram of insect protein, you’d need 23 litres of water. (要生产一克昆虫蛋白，
你需要23 升水)”可知，上文谈论生产昆虫蛋白所需的水量，本空应强调这些水量给人的感觉。A 选项
“That might sound like a lot. (那可能听起来很多)”中的That 指代上文提到的“23 litres of water”，能承接上
文，符合语境，故选A。
20．由下文“Compared with raising traditional livestock (家畜) such as sheep, pigs or cattle, farming insects
generally means that there will be no more dealing with mud and dirt and an end to changing heavy bags of feed.
(与传统家畜如羊、猪或牛的养殖相比，养殖昆虫通常意味着不再需要处理泥土和污垢，也不再需要搬运沉
重的饲料袋)”可知，本空应强调养殖昆虫对农民来说的好处。E 选项“For farmers, raising insects can be
much easier and save money. (对于农民来说，养殖昆虫可以更容易并且省钱)”是对下文内容的概括，符合语
境，故选E。

So here I was, 19 making the two-hour journey through thick fog. Nothing could be worth this, I
thought as I 20 along the dangerous highway.
Turning down a narrow track, we 21 and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old
pine needles. Huge black-green evergreens (常青树) 22 over us. Gradually, the peace and silence of the
place began to 23 my mind.
Then we turned a corner and stopped at the top of the mountain and I was entirely held in 24 . There
across fields and valleys were rivers of fully-opened yellow flowers from the light one to the most brilliant. It
looked as though the sun had tipped over and 25 the mountainside in gold.
26 occurred to my mind. Who created such beauty? How? When? As we approached the house that
stood in the center of the property, we saw a 27 that read: “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are
Asking.” The first answer was: “One Woman —Two Hands, Two Feet and Very Little Brain.” The second was: “
28 at a Time.” The third: “Started in 1958.”
As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen that I could 29 speak. “She changed the
world,” I finally said, “one small plant at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the 30 of
an idea, but she kept at it.”
The wonder of it would not let me go. “Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a dream and 31 it, just a little
bit every day, what might I have accomplished?” Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she
said, “ 32 yet, start today.”

writing task from when I was eighteen. The teacher collected our letters to our future selves in self-addressed

never get to you?” It continued to greet me casually 28 we were having an IM(instant messaging)chat. As a

to be present and 31 my life!

imagining now, I’ll support you, because maybe the person I’m imagining is someone else, but you’re not someone
else, you’re me.”
I was 33 , and tears welled up in my eyes at this 34 through time. I had put a lot of pressure
on myself to be the best version of myself that I could be. 35 , I came to realize what I would have
accomplished in ten years would pale in comparison to how I’d feel and who I’d be.
