Sarah Toumi, a young girl growing up in France, had a dream of becoming a leader who could make a positive impact on the world. Her desire to help others was awakened when she accompanied her Tunisian father to his hometown in the eastern part of Tunisia during vacations. During her time there, she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi personally witnessed the destructive effects of desertification (沙漠化). She realized that within 10 years, wealthy farmers had become worse off. Toumi was determined to stop the progression of the Sahara Desert. Due to a decrease in average rainfall and an increase in severe droughts (干旱), approximately 75% of Tunisia’s agricultural lands are currently at risk of desertification.
Toumi understood the need for a shift in farming practices. She firmly believed that even small plots of land could bring significant returns if farmers were willing to adapt. This adaptation involved planting sustainable crops, using advanced water treatment technologies, and prioritizing natural products and fertilizers (肥料) over chemical alternatives.
In 2012, Toumi took a decisive step towards realizing her dream of fighting desertification. She moved to Tunisia and set up a program called Acacias for All, with the aim of putting her sustainable farming principles into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living without water. ”
By September 2016, over 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with a survival rate of 60% reported by farmers. Toumi estimates that around 3 million acacia trees are required to protect Tunisia's farmland. She plans to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the coming years, Toumi aims to expand the program to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A. They made her decide to leave the country.
B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
D. They inspired her to help others.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi establish Acacias for All in Tunisia
A. To ensure access to primary education for children.
B. To promote the conservation of agricultural land.
C. To generate job opportunities for young people.
D. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Impact of Desertification on Tunisia’s Agricultural Lands
B. Sarah Toumi: A Young Leader Making a Positive Impact
C. Addressing Poverty in North Africa
D. The journey of a French girl in Tunisia
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲主人公Sarah Toumi在一次陪父亲回突尼斯老家激发了她要帮助当地人的热情,并由此创造了Acacias for All项目,植树改善和保护当地的农田,坚持与沙漠化做斗争,为世界做出积极的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Her desire to help others was awakened when she accompanied her Tunisian father to his hometown in the eastern part of Tunisia during vacations.(当她在假期陪伴突尼斯父亲去突尼斯东部的家乡时,她帮助他人的愿望被唤醒了。)”可知,去突尼斯的旅行激励着她去帮助别人。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Due to a decrease in average rainfall and an increase in severe droughts (干旱), approximately 75% of Tunisia’s agricultural lands are currently at risk of desertification.(由于平均降雨量的减少和严重干旱的增加,突尼斯大约75%的农业用地目前面临荒漠化的风险。)”可知,平均降雨量的减少和干旱的增加是农业用地荒漠化的主要原因。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In 2012, Toumi took a decisive step towards realizing her dream of fighting desertification.

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要讲主人公Sarah Toumi在一次陪父亲回突尼斯老家激发了她要帮助当地人的热情,并由此创造了Acacias for All项目,植树改善和保护当地的农田,坚持与沙漠化做斗争,为世界做出积极的影响。由此可知,B项:Sarah Toumi: A Young Leader Making a Positive Impact(莎拉·图米:一个产生积极影响的年轻领导者)是最好的标题。故选B。

When going shopping with a friend, Gail Heyman found herself quite awkward (令人尴尬的) when her friend asked her which dress she liked best. Her friend had a clear favorite — a dress that Heyman happened to dislike. “In that case, I lied and said that I like the same one,” said Heyman.
As Heyman’s experience shows, it might not matter all that much if you tell a white lie to make a friend feel good at times. But when it comes to the most meaningful relationships in your life, protecting a friend’s feelings at all costs can sometimes make them fail. For example, if a person is practicing for a job interview and it’s a few days before his interview, and he gives an answer that you think is not good at all and you don’t tell him because you don’t want to hurt his feelings, that’s really not very nice to him, right Because he has an opportunity to fix that thing.
If you know that lies can have results, why do you still lie often A study carried out by Tali Sharot, a professor at University College London, found that it’s because people just get used to it. One little lie can turn into bigger and bigger lies over time. “If you habituate emotionally, it will change your behavior,” says Sharot.
Sharot notes that if you’re worried about lying a bit too much, try and notice when you want to bend the truth (歪曲事实). She thinks it’s best to do so when you’re not actually responding to those triggers (诱因). Moving your attention away from shame and focusing more on your values can be a healthy way to start looking at this more actively.
8. How does the author start the text
A. By raising a question. B. By giving an example.
C. By expressing an opinion. D. By comparing different views.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Be careful about lying. B. It’s OK to tell a white lie.
C. Never should a person tell lies. D. A meaningful relationship matters.
10. Why would people lie more according to the study
A. They are used to lying.
B. They don’t behave well.
C. They lose track of others.
D. They don’t want to hurt others’ feelings.
11. What does Sharot advise us to do
A. Try to bend the truth.
B. Change our behavior.
C. Say sorry to the one we lied to.
D. Concentrate more on our values.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了撒谎对友谊的影响,并提出了如何处理这种情况的建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When going shopping with a friend, Gail Heyman found herself quite awkward (令人尴尬)when her friend asked her which dress she liked best. Her friend had a clear favorite — a dress that Heyman happened to dislike. “In that case, I lied and said that I like the same one,” said Heyman.(当Gail Heyman和一个朋友去购物时,当她的朋友问她最喜欢哪件衣服时,她发现自己很尴尬。她的朋友有一条明确的最爱——一条Heyman碰巧不喜欢的裙子。Heyman说:“在这种情况下,我撒了谎,说我喜欢同一款。”)”可知,文章开头,作者是通过举了一个例子来引出本文主题。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As Heyman’s experience shows, it might not matter all that much if you tell a white lie to make a friend feel good at times. But when it comes to the most meaningful relationships in your life, protecting a friend’s feelings at all costs can sometimes make them fail. For example, if a person is practicing for a job interview and it’s a few days before his interview, and he gives an answer that you think is not good at all and you don’t tell him because you don’t want to hurt his feelings, that’s really not very nice to him, right Because he has an opportunity to fix that thing.(正如Heyman的经历所表明的那样,如果你为了让朋友感觉良好而说一个善意的谎言,可能并不那么重要。但当涉及到你生命中最有意义的关系时,不惜一切代价保护朋友的感受有时会让他们失败)”可知,有时候你的一个所谓的善意的谎言可能会让你的朋友失败。由此推知,对于说谎,我们应该抱有谨慎的态度。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“If you know that lies can have results, why do you still lie often A study carried out by Tali Sharot, a professor at University College London, found that it’s because people just get used to it.(如果你知道谎言会有结果,为什么你还经常撒谎?伦敦大学学院教授Tali Sharot进行的一项研究发现,这是因为人们已经习惯了。)”可知,人们明知道谎言会有后果还是会说谎是因为人们习惯了说谎。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Sharot notes that if you’re worried about lying a bit too much, try and notice when you want to bend the truth(歪曲事实) .She thinks it’s best to do so when you’re not actually responding to those triggers(诱因) .Moving your attention away from shame and focusing more on your values can be a healthy way to start looking at this more actively.(Sharot指出,如果你担心自己撒了太多的谎,那就试着注意一下自己什么时候想要歪曲事实。她认为最好是在你对这些诱因没有实际反应的时候这样做。把你的注意力从羞耻转移到你的价值观上,这是一种开始更积极地看待这个问题的健康方式。)”可知,Sharot建议我们应该把注意力放在价值观上。故选D。
D
We all may know someone we consider to be a picky eater, who tends to dislike some common food regularly and causes social embarrassment when ordering at restaurants. But for some people picky eating can actually become a serious disorder, and clinical definitions of picky eating behaviors often include people who only consume around 20 different kinds of foods for a long period of time.
“Having restricted diets can lead to nutritional deficiencies (缺陷) as well as health problems like heart disease, poor bone health and dental issues,” explained Lorenzo Stafford, one of the authors on the latest study. “There is also a social cost because normally enjoyable moments between family members can easily turn into stressful, anxious, and conflict-causing situations when picky eaters feel ashamed or pressured to eat certain food.”
A new research homed in on the effect of plate color on food desirability for picky eaters. The experiment was based on a foundational study from 2018 which looked at the way different colored food bowls affected a person’s sense of taste.
Using a design similar to the 2018 research, the new experiments had participants rate the sweetness, saltiness and overall desirability of a snack food eaten from different colored bowls. In this instance the snack was salt and vinegar potato crisps consumed from either a red, blue or white bowl. Around 50 participants were recruited (招募) and classified as either picky or non-picky eaters based on a standard questionnaire.
The results revealed picky eaters considered the snack to be saltier when it was eaten from a red or blue bowl compared to the white bowl. And overall, picky eaters found the snack generally less desirable when eaten from a red bowl.
It is worth mentioning that a recent survey estimated nearly one in five American adults could be clinically classified as picky eaters. So exploring ways to help these people better engage with more types of food could result in valuable health outcomes.
12. Which of the following may be a picky eater
A. Tom who ate only some bread this morning. B. Lisa who only has vegetables for losing weight.
C. Peter who often orders little at restaurants. D. Alex who likes only a small range of dishes.
13. What’s paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Health problems caused by picky eating.
B. Moments that are ruined by picky eaters.
C. Potential consequences of picky eating.
D. Quotes of Lorenzo to support the research findings.
14. What is the finding of the new research
A. Bowls of different colors directly affect appetite of eaters.
B. Blue color bowls can make the food in them saltier for eaters.
C. Food in red bowls seems less attractive to picky eaters.
D. The color of the bowl can change the taste of the dishes.
15. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To show ways of enhancing people’s appetite effectively.
B. To stress the importance of reducing picky eaters’ anxiety and stress.
C. To encourage us to raise picky eaters’ awareness of healthy eating.
D. To call on researchers to help picky eaters try a wider variety of foods.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了最近的一项调查估计,近五分之一的美国成年人在临床上可以被归类为挑食者。因此,探索帮助这些人更好地接触更多种类的食物的方法可能会带来有价值的健康结果。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“But for some people picky eating can actually become a serious disorder, and clinical definitions of picky eating behaviors often include people who only consume around 20 different kinds of foods for a long period of time.”(但对一些人来说,挑食实际上会成为一种严重的疾病,临床上对挑食行为的定义通常包括那些长时间只吃20种左右不同食物的人)可知,临床上对挑食行为的定义通常包括那些长时间只吃20种左右不同食物。由此推知,只喜欢一小部分菜的亚历克斯可能是挑食者。故选D项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段““Having restricted diets can lead to nutritional deficiencies (缺陷) as well as health problems like heart disease, poor bone health and dental issues,” explained Lorenzo Stafford, one of the authors on the latest study. “There is also a social cost because normally enjoyable moments between family members can easily turn into stressful, anxious, and conflict-causing situations when picky eaters feel ashamed or pressured to eat certain food.””(这项最新研究的作者之一洛伦佐·斯塔福德(Lorenzo Stafford)解释说:“限制饮食会导致营养缺乏,以及心脏病、骨质疏松和牙齿问题等健康问题。”“这也有社会成本,因为家庭成员之间通常愉快的时刻很容易变成压力、焦虑和引发冲突的情况,当挑食者感到羞耻或被迫吃某些食物时。”)可知,第二段主要讲的是挑食的潜在后果。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And overall, picky eaters found the snack generally less desirable when eaten from a red bowl.”(总的来说,挑食的人发现,当他们从红色的碗里吃零食时,这些零食通常不那么令人满意)可知,这项新研究的发现是对于挑食的人来说,红碗里的食物似乎没有那么有吸引力。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is worth mentioning that a recent survey estimated nearly one in five American adults could be clinically classified as picky eaters. So exploring ways to help these people better engage with more types of food could result in valuable health outcomes.”(值得一提的是,最近的一项调查估计,近五分之一的美国成年人在临床上可以被归类为挑食者。因此,探索帮助这些人更好地接触更多种类的食物的方法可能会带来有价值的健康结果。)可推知,最后一段的目的是呼吁研究人员帮助挑食者尝试更多种类的食物。故选D项。

Imagine __________ silver water, shining in the spring sun.
【答案】mountains wrapped in
【解析】
【详解】考查名词的数和非谓语动词。由所给句意可知,空格处应表达“被包裹着的群山”。“山”用mountain,结合句意“群山”可知,用复数形式。表示“把……包在……里”用wrap...in,它和逻辑主语mountains之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词,wrapped in silver water“被银白色的水包裹”作后置定语。故填mountains wrapped in。

Why did these people _______ turn the entire mountains into terraces
【答案】go to so much trouble to

47. 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。
“You’re fired!” Andrew Chilton wasn’t joking. At that moment, the high school junior wanted his personal care attendant, Christy Chachere, out of his life forever. He didn’t want her help any more. He thought he could write his own term papers. “You’re fired!” He said it again.
Christy Chachere a retired PE teacher, didn’t take a step back. She believed she could do this job. “You know, I’ve taught middle schoolers,” she said. What about Andrew’s outcry It was music to her ears. Progress was faster than expected.
When Andrew suffered from autism (自闭症) at age eight, people told his mom, Cindy, to get him on the list for an attendant to provide after-school care. Someone would drive him to places and see that he was safe. In New Orleans, Louisiana, the wait can be years, the need far outstrips (超过) the supply. Cindy had no choice but to turn to the program Volunteers of America for help.
Even so, it was eight years before they were matched with Christy. In the meantime. Andrew’s family did their best to help him get through life’s hardships. “I did worry about him,” said Cindy. There was a lot to worry about. Doctors and school teachers said that Andrew might not even graduate from high school. Other questions were around the corner as well. Would he ever have a job, or live independently …Cindy would do anything for her son.
Christy saw the problem right away. “Andrew wouldn’t take a step without his mother’s permission (同意),”she recalled. “You have to let him fail,” she told the family. “It’s the only way he’s going to learn. He has to be able to do things on his own.”
No longer would Cindy help Andrew write papers. His younger brother wouldn’t help him with the computer, either. It was a little unacceptable to step back. Actually, everyone was on board but Andrew.
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。
Andrew was filled with anger, but things began to change.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“She understood me, and it turned out she was really nice.” Andrew said.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Andrew was filled with anger, but things began to change. Soon, Christy would no longer write Andrew’s papers for him and wouldn’t be helping him with homework either. Andrew would start on his homework after school. Christy patiently showed him how to get organized. And she coached him on how to deal with disappointment. Once his work was done, Christy offered freedom. She’d take him to the bookstore, the movies, or out to eat his favorite food.
“She understood me, and it turned out she was really nice.” Andrew said. One step at a time, Andrew gained independence. He graduated from high school and entered community college. He’s working toward an associate’s degree in video game design. He’s studying to get his learner’s permit to drive. Now, Andrew lives a normal life as everyone with delight. He says life has never been better. There is no doubt that Andrew and Christy have done it together.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Andrew患有自闭症,在Christy的帮助下康复并且过上正常人的生活。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Andrew很生气,但事情开始改变了。”可知,第一段可描写Andrew慢慢地开始能够独立做很多事情。

Sarah Toumi, a young girl growing up in France, had a dream of becoming a leader who could make a positive impact on the world. Her desire to help others was awakened when she accompanied her Tunisian father to his hometown in the eastern part of Tunisia during vacations. During her time there, she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi personally witnessed the destructive effects of desertification (沙漠化). She realized that within 10 years, wealthy farmers had become worse off. Toumi was determined to stop the progression of the Sahara Desert. Due to a decrease in average rainfall and an increase in severe droughts (干旱), approximately 75% of Tunisia’s agricultural lands are currently at risk of desertification.
Toumi understood the need for a shift in farming practices. She firmly believed that even small plots of land could bring significant returns if farmers were willing to adapt. This adaptation involved planting sustainable crops using advanced water treatment technologies, and prioritizing natural products and fertilizers (肥料) over chemical alternatives.
In 2012, Toumi took a decisive step towards realizing her dream of fighting desertification. She moved to Tunisia and set up a program called Acacias for All, with the aim of putting her sustainable farming principles into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living without water. ”
By September 2016, over 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with a survival rate of 60% reported by farmers. Toumi estimates that around 3 million acacia trees are required to protect Tunisia's farmland. She plans to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the coming years, Toumi aims to expand the program to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A. They made her decide to leave the country.
B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
D. They inspired her to help others.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland

6. Why did Toumi establish Acacias for All in Tunisia
A. To ensure access to primary education for children.
B. To promote the conservation of agricultural land.
C. To generate job opportunities for young people.
D. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Impact of Desertification on Tunisia’s Agricultural Lands
B. Sarah Toumi: A Young Leader Making a Positive Impact
C. Addressing Poverty in North Africa
D. The journey of a French girl in Tunisia

When going shopping with a friend, Gail Heyman found herself quite awkward (令人尴尬的) when her friend asked her which dress she liked best. Her friend had a clear favorite — a dress that Heyman happened to dislike. “In that case, I lied and said that I like the same one,” said Heyman.
As Heyman’s experience shows, it might not matter all that much if you tell a white lie to make a friend feel good at times. But when it comes to the most meaningful relationships in your life, protecting a friend’s feelings at all costs can sometimes make them fail. For example, if a person is practicing for a job interview and it’s a few days before his interview, and he gives an answer that you think is not good at all and you don’t tell him because you don’t want to hurt his feelings, that’s really not very nice to him, right Because he has an opportunity to fix that thing.
If you know that lies can have results, why do you still lie often A study carried out by Tali Sharot, a professor at University College London, found that it’s because people just get used to it. One little lie can turn into bigger and bigger lies over time. “If you habituate emotionally, it will change your behavior,” says Sharot.
Sharot notes that if you’re worried about lying a bit too much, try and notice when you want to bend the truth (歪曲事实). She thinks it’s best to do so when you’re not actually responding to those triggers (诱因). Moving your attention away from shame and focusing more on your values can be a healthy way to start looking at this more actively.
8. How does the author start the text
A. By raising a question. B. By giving an example.
C. By expressing an opinion. D. By comparing different views.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Be careful about lying. B. It’s OK to tell a white lie.
C. Never should a person tell lies. D. A meaningful relationship matters.
10. Why would people lie more according to the study
A. They are used to lying.
B. They don’t behave well.
C. They lose track of others.
D. They don’t want to hurt others’ feelings.
11. What does Sharot advise us to do
A. Try to bend the truth.
B. Change our behavior.
C. Say sorry to the one we lied to.
D. Concentrate more on our values.

We all may know someone we consider to be a picky eater, who tends to dislike some common food regularly and causes social embarrassment when ordering at restaurants. But for some people picky eating can actually become a serious disorder, and clinical definitions of picky eating behaviors often include people who only consume around 20 different kinds of foods for a long period of time.
“Having restricted diets can lead to nutritional deficiencies (缺陷) as well as health problems like heart disease, poor bone health and dental issues,” explained Lorenzo Stafford, one of the authors on the latest study. “There is also a social cost because normally enjoyable moments between family members can easily turn into stressful, anxious, and conflict-causing situations when picky eaters feel ashamed or pressured to eat certain food.”
A new research homed in on the effect of plate color on food desirability for picky eaters. The experiment was based on a foundational study from 2018 which looked at the way different colored food bowls affected a person’s sense of taste.
Using a design similar to the 2018 research, the new experiments had participants rate the sweetness, saltiness and overall desirability of a snack food eaten from different colored bowls. In this instance the snack was salt and vinegar potato crisps consumed from either a red, blue or white bowl. Around 50 participants were recruited (招募) and classified as either picky or non-picky eaters based on a standard questionnaire.
The results revealed picky eaters considered the snack to be saltier when it was eaten from a red or blue bowl compared to the white bowl. And overall, picky eaters found the snack generally less desirable when eaten from a red bowl.
It is worth mentioning that a recent survey estimated nearly one in five American adults could be clinically classified as picky eaters. So exploring ways to help these people better engage with more types of food could result in valuable health outcomes.
12. Which of the following may be a picky eater
A. Tom who ate only some bread this morning. B. Lisa who only has vegetables for losing weight.
C. Peter who often orders little at restaurants. D. Alex who likes only a small range of dishes.
13. What’s paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Health problems caused by picky eating.
B. Moments that are ruined by picky eaters.
C. Potential consequences of picky eating.
D. Quotes of Lorenzo to support the research findings.

47. 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。
“You’re fired!” Andrew Chilton wasn’t joking. At that moment, the high school junior wanted his personal care attendant, Christy Chachere, out of his life forever. He didn’t want her help any more. He thought he could write his own term papers. “You’re fired!” He said it again.
Christy Chachere, a retired PE teacher, didn’t take a step back. She believed she could do this job. “You know, I’ve taught middle schoolers,” she said. What about Andrew’s outcry It was music to her ears. Progress was faster than expected.
When Andrew suffered from autism (自闭症) at age eight, people told his mom, Cindy, to get him on the list for an attendant to provide after-school care. Someone would drive him to places and see that he was safe. In New Orleans, Louisiana, the wait can be years, the need far outstrips (超过) the supply. Cindy had no choice but to turn to the program Volunteers of America for help.
Even so, it was eight years before they were matched with Christy. In the meantime. Andrew’s family did their best to help him get through life’s hardships. “I did worry about him,” said Cindy. There was a lot to worry about. Doctors and school teachers said that Andrew might not even graduate from high school. Other questions were around the corner as well. Would he ever have a job, or live independently …Cindy would do anything for her son.
Christy saw the problem right away. “Andrew wouldn’t take a step without his mother’s permission (同意),”she recalled. “You have to let him fail,” she told the family. “It’s the only way he’s going to learn. He has to be able to do things on his own.”
No longer would Cindy help Andrew write papers. His younger brother wouldn’t help him with the computer, either. It was a little unacceptable to step back. Actually, everyone was on board but Andrew.
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。
Andrew was filled with anger, but things began to change.
