Our return flight leaves at 8 a. m. on January 21st, and we will expect to arrive back at the campus by bus, around 4 p. m. For the entirety of the trip's duration, we will be staying all three nights at Hotel Salzburg.
In addition to your personal belongings, you will be required to pack your passport and travel insurance certificate. Furthermore, remember to pack the appropriate winter necessities, especially if you plan to ski during your free time in the afternoons. Our scheduled morning events are detailed as follows.
As Austria is a country of great importance in European history, learning more about its unique culture will be the foundation of your trip. Thus far, your pre-trip assignment has been to investigate the last 60 years of Austrian history. To bring this unit to its conclusion, we've arranged a meeting in the hotel's conference room with several local retirement associations. Also taking place on hotel grounds are various workshops that we've arranged, hosting three local speakers. Please be sure to attend at least one of these.
Upon return, use the information you obtained from the interviews and workshop(s)to write a 500-word reflection on a subject of your choice, worth 60%of your final grade. Of special focus should be the social and cultural impacts of World War Ⅱ, with a secondary focus on how the modern Austrian government treats its senior citizens. Your report is due by 5 p. m. on January 25th.

Mia, 12, is now on a year-long trip with her parents and three younger brothers. Far from their home in Quebec, Canada, the family rode horses in Mongolia, kayaked in Cambodia, camped in Namibia and flew in a hot air balloon in Turkey, looking to collect as many once-in-a-lifetime memories as they could.
The memories really matter because unless science makes a breakthrough soon, three of the children will become blind, likely in adulthood. They have been diagnosed with a disease that has no effective treatment and no specific timeline as it gradually robs them of their sight.
The diagnoses came in 2015. Despite the grief, the parents were surprised to find Mia, then 7, was calm about it. She announced that she would need to start keeping her bedroom especially neat, with everything in its place. “In the future, I’ll need to know where things are,” Mia said.
“She’s finding solutions on her own,” the parents told each other. “We need to follow her lead.” And so the idea of a yearlong trip was born, one that would show the kids the world, in person and at close range – while the kids could still see it. For the next two years, the parents saved money and researched places to visit. “How we adults see the world and how kids see the world are so different.” says the mother, Edith. “It would have to be less about temples and museums and more about whatever caught their eyes.”
By the time the trip began to wind down in early 2023, the family had traveled 52,000 miles and visited 18 countries. Mia grew taller and when entering adolescence, needed more independence. Her brothers became more confident and outgoing. The kids were very aware that they had learned a lot. “There’s a lot of suffering, a lot of poverty, but lots of good and interesting things too. We should be positive.” said Mia.
24. What’s the probable function of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the story behind.
B. To arouse the readers’ interest.
C. To provide background information.
D To inform readers of a wonderful trip.
25. What can be inferred about the parents from paragraph 3 and 4
A. They are optimistic about the children’s disease.
B. They are surprised at their daughter’s creative ideas.
C. They are proud of their daughter’s courage to face difficulties.
D. They are open-minded enough to respect their children’s decision.
26. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The details about the year-long journey.
B. The keen anticipation of Mia about the future.
C. The changes of the kids physically and mentally.
D. The impression Mia had of what she had experienced.
27. Which is the best title of the story
A Seeing is believing.
B. Making the most of the vision.
C. Man who travels far knows more.
D. The eyes are the window to the soul.
C
You know the feeling. You finish a full meal and arc like “I’m never eating again.” But then, out comes a beautiful piece of cake. And, you said you were full, but not for dessert! It turns out you really can “make room” for dessert.
And there’s a scientific reason why. The thing that gives you room for dessert is called “Sensory—Specific Satiety” That’s what Dr. Rolls, a nutritional scientist, has been studying since the 1980s. Here is how her experiment went. She gave six people a giant plate of spaghetti and told them to eat until they were full. And then, for the second course, she gave them more. Then, she gave them ice cream. On average, after they said they were full on spaghetti, each person could eat just one more ounce of it in their second serving. But when she gave them ice cream, somehow they could eat three times as much. They “made room” for dessert.
The experiment shows that when you feel full, it’s not necessarily that your stomach is physically full. It’s more about how interested you are in—eating more. Sensory—specific satiety is the change in how much you like a food, how much you want to eat, as you’re eating it. “I’ve just had enough of the food; I want something else” is really what sensory—specific satiety is.
And that natural ability has a purpose: it’s meant to keep us healthy. It’s going to help to guarantee that we’re going to cat the variety of nutrients that we need. However, it can backfire of course, because if we are presented with a variety of foods, it makes us extra likely to overeat.
28. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead to the main topic. B. To make a comparison.
C. To amuse the readers. D. To summarize the main idea.
29. According to Dr. Rolls, why did the people “make room” for ice cream
A. Because they had a wrong feeling.
B. Because there was a change in food variety.
C. Because they lied about feeling full.
D. Because the ice cream was more delicious.
30. What does the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Consume much energy. B. Discourage people from eating.
C. Have the opposite result. D. Produce a helpful effect.
31. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Education. C. Culture. D. Health.
D
They say you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. But when it comes to tackling a tricky task, researchers have found that getting angry can also be a powerful motivator.
The experiments suggest people who are angry perform better on a set of challenging tasks than those who are emotionally neutral.
The study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, details how researchers at Texas A&M University conducted experiments involving more than 1,000 people, and analysed survey data from more than 1,400 people to explore the possible impact of anger on people in various circumstances.
In one experiment, students were shown images previously found to cause anger, desire, amusement, sadness or no particular emotion at all. Participants were subsequently asked to solve a series of anagrams (变形词).
The results reveal that for a challenging set of anagrams, those who were angry did better — although no difference was seen for easy anagrams.
The researchers say one explanation could be down to a link between anger and greater persistence (坚持), with the team finding those who were angry spent more time on the difficult set of anagrams.
In another experiment, participants who were angry did better at avoiding flags in a skiing video game than those who were neutral or sad, and were on a par with (同水平) those who felt amusement or desire.
“This pattern could indicate that general physical arousal (激起) had a benefit for game scores, as this would be greater in anger, amused, and desire conditions compared to the sad and neutral conditions,” the researchers write. However, no such differences in performance was found when it came to an easier video game.
“People often prefer to use positive emotions as tools more than negative and tend to see negative emotions as undesirable,” said Lench, the first author of the study. “Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes wellbeing, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations.”
32. What tasks did the researchers set for the students
A. Catching flies with honey.
B. Helping analyze survey data.
C. Putting tasks into different categories.
D. Performing tasks in various emotional states.
33. Why does anger enable people to perform better on challenging tasks
A. It brings team spirit into full play.
B. It promotes a deep insight into the tasks.
C. It increases effort toward attaining a goal.
D. It changes challenging tasks into easy ones.
34 What are paragraphs 7 and 8 mainly about
A. Research result consistent with previous findings.
B. Potential application of the research finding.
C. A further explanation of the research method.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.
35. What does Lench intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To present more proofs. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To make a comparison. D. To criticize old practices.
第二节 (共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Food plays an important role in our lives. We can learn a lot about a particular culture by exploring food. In fact, it may be difficult to fully define a culture without a nod to their cuisine. Here’s why food is the best way to understand a culture.
____36____ It doesn’t matter where you’re from — you have to eat. And your societal culture most likely evolves from the universal need to eat. Food preservation (保存) techniques are unique to climates and lifestyle. Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world ____37____ In Morocco, Khlea is a dish composed of dried beef and then packed in animal fat. When preserved correctly, it’s still good for two years when stored at room temperature. That makes a lot of sense in Morocco, where the country historically has desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.
____38____ Some people have cuisines that are entirely based on meat, and others are almost entirely plant based. These cuisines took shape in the long course of history. For example, India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region, with meat and wheat dishes in the north, vegetarian diets in the south.
Sometimes, a certain ingredient of one dish can reveal cultural secrets. ____39____ And perhaps one of the most interesting results from the mix of two cuisines is Chicken Tikka Masala. It seems to be an Indian Mughali dish, but was actually invented by the British!
Food tourism — it’s a whole new way to travel. Food tourists won’t just focus on having a glass of beer at Oktoberfest (德国十月啤酒节). ____40____ They may even learn how to make their own fresh beer. And they have the chance to learn local skills that can send insight(洞悉) into a whole other aspect of a particular region’s culture.
A. Meat is more difficult to preserve than plants.
B. Local cuisines show historical eating patterns.
C. It has something to do with local resources, needs and climates.
D. Food is the most important necessity of the people.
E. Some cuisines change accordingly during different times of the year.
F. Black pepper originates in Asia but becomes a key part of European cuisine.
G. Moreover, they will be interested in learning the German beer making process.

My shirt shows people the ____54____ me a kid with a sense of humor. And maybe that’s the trick showing others that I’m just like them. I’m just shorter, but I’m ____55____ of who I am.

Once upon a time, in a small town located near the edge of a vast forest, two adventurous souls named John and David had long been keen to go deep into the heart of nature. One day, armed with their backpacks, they determined to explore the forest. The villagers had warned them to stick to the main path, cautioning that there could be hunters’ traps elsewhere, but the appeal of the charming forest was too great to resist.
As they confidently ventured deeper into the forest, its beauty unfolded before their eyes. An hour later, driven by the hunger for the unknown, they made a decision to take the less-traveled path, making marks along the way carefully as they went. For another two hours, they observed various flowers, took pictures of strange-shaped rocks and marveled at the breathtaking scenery. The forest seemed to be a world of its own, untouched by human presence. Everything appeared so beautiful.
However, little did they know that danger was hidden under their feet. As they went further, they realized that their phones had lost signal, and they were completely cut off from the outside world. Suddenly, John stepped forward and felt the ground gave way beneath him. Before he knew it, he had fallen into a hidden pit(深坑), his leg trapped by the wooden spikes(尖刺) lining the bottom. Pain shot through his body as he cried out for help.
Upon hearing John’s crying out in pain, David quickly ran to the edge of the pit, desperately trying to find a way to pull his friend out. However, his efforts were in vain. “John, are you okay Can you move your leg ” asked David worriedly. John winced in pain as he tried to move his injured leg, “I think I’ve hurt my leg, David. It aches a lot.” “It’s going to be okay, John,” David comforted him, “I’ll find a way to get you out of here!” With no phone signal and nightfall approaching, David knew he had to act fast.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He couldn’t pull John out of the pit, so he decided to get out and seek help.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Together, they journeyed back to where John awaited rescue.

W: Well, those are necessary things. But I’m wondering about some personal goals and dreams.
M: Like what
W: For example, traveling the world and seeing famous artworks.
M: Perfect! I’ve mainly studied global history in college for several years. So, I’d like to visit the historic sites like the Forbidden City in Beijing.
W: Interesting. I’ve learned most about art and geography. I’d prefer to visit the most famous museums in the world.
M: Oh, nice! I once went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art here in New York.
W: Yeah. That’s the largest art museum in the US.
M: But the most visited museums in the world may be in Paris and Beijing. I know it because my cousin Julia visited the Louvre Museum in Paris while she’s on a business trip.
W: That sounds great. The Louvre Museum has been on my wish list for quite some time.

【原文】M: Hey, Jill. You’re a member of the debate club, right
W: Yeah. Did you see the debate between Clare and Mark last night
M: That’s what I was just about to ask you. It was such a heated debate.
W: I know. I found Clare’s performance surprising because she’s always shy and quiet in our class.
M: You said it. She just looks like a shining star when she’s in a debate.
W: Exactly. Debating is a lot like acting in a theater. You not only need to remember some difficult facts and figures, but also know when to say them.
M: I agree. Do you know if someone filmed the debate Kevin was off sick and went to see the doctor yesterday, but I’m sure he’d love to see it.

M: Great. Do you know where she is right now
W: Yes. She’s the captain of the women’s basketball team. They are in the gym practicing just now.

Mia, 12, is now on a year-long trip with her parents and three younger brothers. Far from their home in Quebec, Canada, the family rode horses in Mongolia, kayaked in Cambodia, camped in Namibia and flew in a hot air balloon in Turkey, looking to collect as many once-in-a-lifetime memories as they could.
The memories really matter because unless science makes a breakthrough soon, three of the children will become blind, likely in adulthood. They have been diagnosed with a disease that has no effective treatment and no specific timeline as it gradually robs them of their sight.
The diagnoses came in 2015. Despite the grief, the parents were surprised to find Mia, then 7, was calm about it. She announced that she would need to start keeping her bedroom especially neat, with everything in its place. “In the future, I’ll need to know where things are,” Mia said.
“She’s finding solutions on her own,” the parents told each other. “We need to follow her lead.” And so the idea of a yearlong trip was born, one that would show the kids the world, in person and at close range – while the kids could still see it. For the next two years, the parents saved money and researched places to visit. “How we adults see the world and how kids see the world are so different.” says the mother, Edith. “It would have to be less about temples and museums and more about whatever caught their eyes.”
By the time the trip began to wind down in early 2023, the family had traveled 52,000 miles and visited 18 countries. Mia grew taller and when entering adolescence, needed more independence. Her brothers became more confident and outgoing. The kids were very aware that they had learned a lot. “There’s a lot of suffering, a lot of poverty, but lots of good and interesting things too. We should be positive.” said Mia.
24. What’s the probable function of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the story behind.
B. To arouse the readers’ interest.
C. To provide background information.
D. To inform readers of a wonderful trip.
25. What can be inferred about the parents from paragraph 3 and 4
A. They are optimistic about the children’s disease.
B. They are surprised at their daughter’s creative ideas.
C. They are proud of their daughter’s courage to face difficulties.
D. They are open-minded enough to respect their children’s decision.

C
You know the feeling. You finish a full meal and arc like “I’m never eating again.” But then, out comes a beautiful piece of cake. And, you said you were full, but not for dessert! It turns out you really can “make room” for dessert.
And there’s a scientific reason why. The thing that gives you room for dessert is called “Sensory—Specific Satiety” That’s what Dr. Rolls, a nutritional scientist, has been studying since the 1980s. Here is how her experiment went. She gave six people a giant plate of spaghetti and told them to eat until they were full. And then, for the second course, she gave them more. Then, she gave them ice cream. On average, after they said they were full on spaghetti, each person could eat just one more ounce of it in their second serving. But when she gave them ice cream, somehow they could eat three times as much. They “made room” for dessert.
The experiment shows that when you feel full, it’s not necessarily that your stomach is physically full. It’s more about how interested you are in—eating more. Sensory—specific satiety is the change in how much you like a food, how much you want to eat, as you’re eating it. “I’ve just had enough of the food; I want something else” is really what sensory—specific satiety is.
And that natural ability has a purpose: it’s meant to keep us healthy. It’s going to help to guarantee that we’re going to cat the variety of nutrients that we need. However, it can backfire of course, because if we are presented with a variety of foods, it makes us extra likely to overeat.
28. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead to the main topic. B. To make a comparison.
C. To amuse the readers. D. To summarize the main idea.
29. According to Dr. Rolls, why did the people “make room” for ice cream
A. Because they had a wrong feeling.
B. Because there was a change in food variety.
C. Because they lied about feeling full.
D. Because the ice cream was more delicious.
30. What does the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Consume much energy. B. Discourage people from eating.
C. Have the opposite result. D. Produce a helpful effect.
31. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Education. C. Culture. D. Health.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了实验表明，当你感到饱的时候，并不一定是因为你的胃已经饱了，这种叫“特定感觉的饱腹感”。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“And there’s a scientific reason why.(这是有科学依据的。)”可知，上文第一段是通过一个事例来引出下文一个研究，也就是本文的主题“特定感觉的饱腹感”。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句““I’ve just had enough of the food; I want something else” is really what sensory—specific satiety is.(“我吃得已经够多了；我想要别的东西”这就是特定感觉的饱腹感。)”以及最后一段“It’s going to help to guarantee that we’re going to cat the variety of nutrients that we need. However, it can backfire of course, because if we are presented with a variety of foods, it makes us extra likely to overeat. (这将有助于保证我们能够获得我们所需的各种营养。然而，这当然会适得其反，因为如果我们面前摆着各种各样的食物，我们就更有可能暴饮暴食。)”可知，人们之所以在吃饱一样食物之后还能吃下别的东西，最关键在于食物的种类发生了变化，即食物多样性。故选B。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后半句“because if we are presented with a variety of foods，it makes us extra likely to overeat.（如果人们面对各种各样的食物，特定感觉的饱腹感使他们更有可能吃得过多。）”可知，这是起反作用效果，所以backfire意为“反效果”。A. Consume much energy消耗大量能源；B. Discourage people from eating劝阻人们不要吃东西；C. Have the opposite result结果正好相反；D. Produce a helpful effect产生有益的效果，故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“And that natural ability has a purpose: it’s meant to keep us healthy.（而这种天生的能力有一个目的：它是为了让我们保持健康）”可知，这篇文章来自于报纸的健康版块。A. Entertainment娱乐；B. Education教育；C. Culture文化；D. Health健康。故选D。

They say you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. But when it comes to tackling a tricky task, researchers have found that getting angry can also be a powerful motivator.
The experiments suggest people who are angry perform better on a set of challenging tasks than those who are emotionally neutral.
The study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, details how researchers at Texas A&M University conducted experiments involving more than 1,000 people, and analysed survey data from more than 1,400 people to explore the possible impact of anger on people in various circumstances.
In one experiment, students were shown images previously found to cause anger, desire, amusement, sadness or no particular emotion at all. Participants were subsequently asked to solve a series of anagrams (变形词).
The results reveal that for a challenging set of anagrams, those who were angry did better — although no difference was seen for easy anagrams.
The researchers say one explanation could be down to a link between anger and greater persistence (坚持), with the team finding those who were angry spent more time on the difficult set of anagrams.
In another experiment, participants who were angry did better at avoiding flags in a skiing video game than those who were neutral or sad, and were on a par with (同水平) those who felt amusement or desire.
“This pattern could indicate that general physical arousal (激起) had a benefit for game scores, as this would be greater in anger, amused, and desire conditions compared to the sad and neutral conditions,” the researchers write. However, no such differences in performance was found when it came to an easier video game.
“People often prefer to use positive emotions as tools more than negative and tend to see negative emotions as undesirable,” said Lench, the first author of the study. “Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes wellbeing, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations.”
32. What tasks did the researchers set for the students
A. Catching flies with honey.
B. Helping analyze survey data.
C. Putting tasks into different categories.
D. Performing tasks in various emotional states.
33. Why does anger enable people to perform better on challenging tasks
A. It brings team spirit into full play.
B. It promotes a deep insight into the tasks.
C. It increases effort toward attaining a goal.
D. It changes challenging tasks into easy ones.
34. What are paragraphs 7 and 8 mainly about
A. Research result consistent with previous findings.
B. Potential application of the research finding.
C. A further explanation of the research method.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.
35. What does Lench intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To present more proofs. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To make a comparison. D. To criticize old practices.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是一项研究表明：当面对艰巨任务时，愤怒也可以成为强有力的动力源。研究人员表示，使用负面情绪作为工具在某些情况下可能特别有效。研究结果表明，正面情绪和负面情绪的混合有助于促进幸福感。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In one experiment, students were shown images previously found to cause anger, desire, amusement, sadness or no particular emotion at all. Participants were subsequently asked to solve a series of anagrams (变形词).(在一项实验中，研究人员向学生们展示了之前发现会引起愤怒、欲望、娱乐、悲伤或根本没有特定情绪的图片。随后，参与者被要求解决一系列字谜)”以及第五段中“The results reveal that for a challenging set of anagrams, those who were angry did better — although no difference was seen for easy anagrams.(结果显示，在一组具有挑战性的字谜游戏中，那些生气的人表现得更好——尽管在简单的字谜游戏中没有发现差异)”可知，研究过程中，研究人员向学生们展示了之前发现会引起愤怒、欲望、娱乐、悲伤或根本没有特定情绪的图片。随后，参与者被要求解决一系列字谜。由此可知，学生们在各种情绪状态下执行任务。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“The researchers say one explanation could be down to a link between anger and greater persistence (坚持), with the team finding those who were angry spent more time on the difficult set of anagrams.(研究人员表示，一种解释可以归结为愤怒和更强的毅力之间的联系，研究小组发现，愤怒的人花更多的时间在困难的字谜上)”可知，愤怒之所以能够让人们在完成困难任务上表现的更好是因为愤怒和更强的毅力之间有着联系，促使研究对象完成困难任务。由此可知，愤怒能让人们在具有挑战性的任务中表现得更好，因为它增加了实现目标的努力。故选C。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第七段中“In another experiment, participants who were angry did better at avoiding flags in a skiing video game than those who were neutral or sad, and were on a par with (同水平) those who felt amusement or desire.(在另一项实验中，在滑雪视频游戏中，愤怒的参与者比那些中立或悲伤的参与者更能避开旗帜，与那些感到娱乐或欲望的参与者不相上下)”以及第八段中““This pattern could indicate that general physical arousal (激起) had a benefit for game scores, as this would be greater in anger, amused, and desire conditions compared to the sad and neutral conditions,” the researchers write.(研究人员写道：“这种模式表明，一般的身体激起会对游戏得分有益，因为在愤怒、好笑和渴望条件下，这种激起会比悲伤和中性条件更为强烈”)”可知，第七段和第八段通过描述另外的一项研究表述当面对艰巨任务时，愤怒也可以成为强有力的动力源。由此可知，研究结果与前人的发现一致。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes wellbeing, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations.(越来越多的证据表明，积极情绪和消极情绪的结合能促进健康，在某些情况下，将消极情绪作为工具尤其有效，我们的研究进一步证明了这一点)”可推知，最后一段中Lench倾向于得出结论。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Food plays an important role in our lives. We can learn a lot about a particular culture by exploring food. In fact, it may be difficult to fully define a culture without a nod to their cuisine. Here’s why food is the best way to understand a culture.
____36____ It doesn’t matter where you’re from — you have to eat. And your societal culture most likely evolves from the universal need to eat. Food preservation (保存) techniques are unique to climates and lifestyle. Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world ____37____ In Morocco, Khlea is a dish composed of dried beef and then packed in animal fat. When preserved correctly, it’s still good for two years when stored at room temperature. That makes a lot of sense in Morocco, where the country historically has desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.
____38____ Some people have cuisines that are entirely based on meat, and others are almost entirely plant based. These cuisines took shape in the long course of history. For example, India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region, with meat and wheat dishes in the north, vegetarian diets in the south.
Sometimes, a certain ingredient of one dish can reveal cultural secrets. ____39____ And perhaps one of the most interesting results from the mix of two cuisines is Chicken Tikka Masala. It seems to be an Indian Mughali dish, but was actually invented by the British!
Food tourism — it’s a whole new way to travel. Food tourists won’t just focus on having a glass of beer at Oktoberfest (德国十月啤酒节). ____40____ They may even learn how to make their own fresh beer. And they have the chance to learn local skills that can send insight(洞悉) into a whole other aspect of a particular region’s culture.
A. Meat is more difficult to preserve than plants.
B. Local cuisines show historical eating patterns.
C. It has something to do with local resources, needs and climates.
D. Food is the most important necessity of the people.
E. Some cuisines change accordingly during different times of the year.
F. Black pepper originates in Asia but becomes a key part of European cuisine.
G. Moreover, they will be interested in learning the German beer making process.
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. B 39. F 40. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了为什么食物是了解一种文化的最佳途径。
【36题详解】
根据后文“It doesn’t matter where you’re from — you have to eat. And your societal culture most likely evolves from the universal need to eat. Food preservation (保存) techniques are unique to climates and lifestyle. Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world (不管你来自哪里，你都得吃饭。你的社会文化很可能是从普遍的饮食需求演变而来的。食物保存技术是气候和生活方式所特有的。有没有想过为什么世界各地保存肉类的过程如此不同？)”可知，后文主要说明了食物的重要性，本句为本段第一句，总起全文，故D选项“食物是人们最重要的必需品”符合语境，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world (有没有想过为什么世界各地保存肉类的过程如此不同？)”以及后文“In Morocco, Khlea is a dish composed of dried beef and then packed in animal fat. When preserved correctly, it’s still good for two years when stored at room temperature. That makes a lot of sense in Morocco, where the country historically has desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.(在摩洛哥，Khlea是一道菜，由干牛肉和动物脂肪组成。如果保存得当，在室温下保存两年仍然是好的。这在摩洛哥很有意义，因为这个国家历史上有沙漠景观，而且温度非常温暖干燥)”可知，本句是在回答上文关于保存肉类过程不同的问题：与当地的资源、需求和气候有关，后文则给出对应的例子。故C选项“这与当地的资源、需求和气候有关”符合语境，故选C。
【38题详解】
根据后文“Some people have cuisines that are entirely based on meat, and others are almost entirely plant based. These cuisines took shape in the long course of history. For example, India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region, with meat and wheat dishes in the north, vegetarian diets in the south.(有些人的菜肴完全以肉类为基础，而另一些人则几乎完全以植物为基础。这些菜系是在漫长的历史过程中形成的。例如，印度的菜肴因地区而异，北方有肉和小麦菜，南方有素食)”可知，本段主要介绍了菜系与当地饮食模式之间的关系，故B选项“当地菜系展示了历史上的饮食模式”符合语境，故选B。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Sometimes, a certain ingredient of one dish can reveal cultural secrets.(有时，一道菜的某种成分可以揭示文化的秘密)”以及后文“And perhaps one of the most interesting results from the mix of two cuisines is Chicken Tikka Masala. It seems to be an Indian Mughali dish, but was actually invented by the British!(也许两种菜系混合后最有趣的结果之一就是鸡肉提卡马沙拉。它似乎是印度的穆加利菜，但实际上是英国人发明的！)”可知，本句是在举例说明某种菜的成分，故F选项“黑胡椒原产于亚洲，但已成为欧洲菜肴的重要组成部分”符合语境，故选F。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Food tourism — it’s a whole new way to travel. Food tourists won’t just focus on having a glass of beer at Oktoberfest (德国十月啤酒节).(美食旅游——这是一种全新的旅行方式。美食游客不会只关注在啤酒节上喝一杯啤酒)”可知，上文提到美食游客不会只关注在啤酒节上喝一杯啤酒，可知本句是在说明游客还会收获的东西：他们会对学习德国啤酒的酿造工艺感兴趣，是对上文的补充说明。故G选项“此外，他们会对学习德国啤酒的酿造工艺感兴趣”符合语境，故选G。

72. 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。
Once upon a time, in a small town located near the edge of a vast forest, two adventurous souls named John and David had long been keen to go deep into the heart of nature. One day, armed with their backpacks, they determined to explore the forest. The villagers had warned them to stick to the main path, cautioning that there could be hunters’ traps elsewhere, but the appeal of the charming forest was too great to resist.
As they confidently ventured deeper into the forest, its beauty unfolded before their eyes. An hour later, driven by the hunger for the unknown, they made a decision to take the less-traveled path, making marks along the way carefully as they went. For another two hours, they observed various flowers, took pictures of strange-shaped rocks and marveled at the breathtaking scenery. The forest seemed to be a world of its own, untouched by human presence. Everything appeared so beautiful.
However, little did they know that danger was hidden under their feet. As they went further, they realized that their phones had lost signal, and they were completely cut off from the outside world. Suddenly, John stepped forward and felt the ground gave way beneath him. Before he knew it, he had fallen into a hidden pit(深坑), his leg trapped by the wooden spikes(尖刺) lining the bottom. Pain shot through his body as he cried out for help.
Upon hearing John’s crying out in pain, David quickly ran to the edge of the pit, desperately trying to find a way to pull his friend out. However, his efforts were in vain. “John, are you okay Can you move your leg ” asked David worriedly. John winced in pain as he tried to move his injured leg, “I think I’ve hurt my leg, David. It aches a lot.” “It’s going to be okay, John,” David comforted him, “I’ll find a way to get you out of here!” With no phone signal and nightfall approaching, David knew he had to act fast.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He couldn’t pull John out of the pit, so he decided to get out and seek help. With a heavy heart, he departed from John and pressed onward as swiftly as possible. David ran with all his might, retracing their earlier steps and shouting for help, his voice echoing through the vast emptiness, hoping that someone might hear his cries. Minutes felt like hours, and with each passing second, his anxiety grew. Just when he thought all hope was lost, David spotted a group of villagers not too far away. Relief flooded through him as he waved his arms and yelled to attract their attention. Upon approaching them, David gasped for breath and explained everything to the villagers. They quickly gathered supplies and formed a rescue party.
Together, they journeyed back to where John awaited rescue. The rescue party worked quickly, using ropes to lift John out of the pit. Hardly had John emerged than he was greeted with cheers and applause from the group. They tended to his wounds, which were fortunately not that serious, and helped him to his feet. Exhausted but relieved, John’s heart overflowed with gratitude to David and the villagers, whose unwavering support and kindness served as a saving grace. Their journey taught them the importance of preparation, caution, and respect for nature’s unpredictable power. Both men knew that this experience would stay with them forever, a testament to the power of friendship and determination in the face of adversity.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了爱冒险的John和David不顾村民的警告，去森林探险时被迷人的风景吸引住，不知不觉走到森林深处。他们的手机失去了信号，他们与外界完全隔绝了，突然，John掉进了陷阱里面，腿被底部的木钉卡住了。David听到John痛苦的呼喊，拼命想办法把他的朋友拉出来，没有手机信号，夜幕降临，大卫知道他必须迅速行动。
