A couple has recently placed their garbage can out for collection for the first time in 14 months, all thanks to their recycling skills. Richard and Louise Arnold have established such an effective routine that they only need to put their garbage can on the side of the street once a year.
Louise explained that making small monthly changes in her life has resulted in her family producing very little waste. She said, “It’s not as difficult as you might think if you start with small steps. We began with soap, switching from bath cream to natural soap without packaging. These bars are large enough that we cut them in half, using one for the sink and the other half for the shower. It’s both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.”
“So it’s actually quite easy. Just go around your house and think of little things you can do gradually, and you’ll start noticing the difference,” Louise added. Currently, the couple takes recyclable waste to the tip, donates clothes to charity shops, and brings soft plastics and batteries to a shop that accepts them.
In 2017, the couple established No Waste Living, which initially started as a weekend stall at the local market and has since developed into a website. Louise regularly writes a newsletter for her hundreds of subscribers. They also started selling eco-friendly products, ranging from non-chemical household cleaning and washing solutions for a “less toxic home” to bamboo washing-up brushes. Louise mentioned, “I started No Waste Living because I wanted to show our achievement s and lead by example.”
Although the family occasionally faces criticism, Louise remains determined. She said, “The main point of contention(争论) for people regarding new waste rules is having to drive their waste to a recycling center, which adds to their already busy lives. However, in the long run, you will create more space in your home, save money, and spend less time dealing with garbage cans.”
4. How did the couple start their waste reduction journey
A. By replacing small soaps with large ones. B. By using a small amount of bath cream.
C. By using unpackaged soap bars. D. By recycling soft plastics and batteries.
5. Why did the couple found No Waste Living
A. To bring eco-products to market. B. To inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
C. To treat recyclable waste from the neighborhood. D. To answer the call of their subscribers.
6. Why do some people dislike new waste rules
A. They mean more work to deal with garbage.
B. They increase the cost of garbage collection.
C. They establish a set time for waste management.
D. They limit the daily amount of garbage for collection.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A business - minded couple. B. The “less poisonous home” concept.
C. The global trend in recycling. D. A planet- friendly lifestyle.
C
It’s been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to reemerge in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China’s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.
The new tastes of Generation Z—young people born after 1995—are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent.
”Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China’s rapid development, this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country,“ Professor Zhang Yiwu said.
He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age—they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand. This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.
However, Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.
8. What does the underlined word ”exotic“ in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Foreign. B. Fashionable. C. Traditional. D. Elegant.
9. Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To confirm the rise of new media.
B. To promote Chinese Internet industry.
C. To highlight the popularity of domestic art.
D. To show the popularity of New Year’s Eve gala.
10. What do we know about Generation Z from the passage
A. They have a stronger cultural identity.
B. They are longing for cultural diversity.
C They have made China develop rapidly.
D. They are more fond of foreign culture.
11. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Confident China, Better Future
B. China’s Progress Results in Cultural Confidence
C. China’s New Generation Redefine Local Culture as Trendy
D. Hanfu Style, Connector of Ancient Fashion and Modern Trend
D
Despite its benefits, drinking milk into adulthood, let alone other animals’ milk, is a strange behavior in the animal kingdom. What makes it even stranger is that an estimated 68 percent of the global human population is actually lactose (乳糖) intolerant. Scientists are still getting to the bottom of why the practice began and continued. This research could unlock new understandings of our food cultures and even our DNA.
The earliest evidence of animal milk drinking dates back almost 9. 000 years to modern-day Turkey near the sea of Marmara. where milk fats have been found on ancient pottery. According to Jessica Hendy. a scientist at the University of York. then milk would have been part of a diverse diet for it was mixed with other food. From its origins, the technology of making use of milk spread into the Caucasus and then across Europe. By the Bronze Age, people may have been using cow’s milk to feed their babies.
For a long time, researchers believed that milk drinking changed as a cultural practice hand in hand with the spread of genetic mutations (变异) that allowed people to tolerate milk into adulthood. But one recent finding suggests milk drinking occurred before these mutations and might not even require them. In Europe. people appear to have been drinking milk for thousands of years before any genetic ability to drink milk became common. The ancient cheese making equipment might offer part of the solution: Fermenting (发酵) milk into yogurt. cheese, or other products reduces the amount of lactose. In Mongolia. researchers have not yet found a genetic mutation that allows people to digest lactose, despite the major role of milk in that culture. So some scientists held that there might be other potential factors helping.
What we do know about the history of milk reveals how wrong-headed one-size-fits-all nutritional guidance can be. In modern America. milk drinking has been presented as a universal good. In reality, how milk is prepared can change the nutritional picture, and how much our bodies process depends, at least in part. on our own genes.
12. What can we learn about milk drinking from paragraph 2
A. It used to be a symbol of identity. B. It initially started with little babies.
C. It was the key diet of ancient people. D. It has been a human tradition for long.
13. Why does the author mention Europe in paragraph 3
A. To give a suggestion. B. To define a concept.
C. To make a prediction. D. To clarify a finding.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Milk consumption functions as a cure-all.
B. Milk intake varies from person to person.
C. Milk’s nutritional value is beyond imagination.
D. One’s milk digestive ability changes constantly.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Mystery of Drinking Milk
B. The Process of Genetic Mutations
C. The Phenomenon of Lactose Intolerance
D. The Technology of Making Milk Products

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。
My dad, John, was a basketball fan. He played in college and even coached a local youth team for a few years. His love for the game was unbelievable, and some of my earliest memories are of us playing basketball in the nearby court. I’ve even seen old photos of him in his college days, a proud smile on his face as he held a basketball. But when it came to my own involvement in basketball, he was surprisingly positive that I should focus only on study. “Basketball won’t pay the bills,” he’d often say, a statement that always struck me as ironic (讽刺的) given how much he loved the sport.
I loved basketball too, and I was pretty good at it. My school coach, Coach Miller, saw potential in me and encouraged me to join the school team. He said I had a natural talent that could take me far if I trained hard. But my dad was against it. He believed that sports would distract me from my studies, and with the final exam around the corner, he didn’t want to take any chances. “Your future is in the classroom, not on the court,” he would insist, dashing my dreams of following in his athletic footsteps.
This tension between us reached a peak when my head teacher, Mrs. Williams, announced a school basketball tournament (联赛). It was a big deal; students from the whole city would come to watch. My friends were excited, and even some teachers were talking about it. However, I knew I couldn’t participate without my dad’s approval. It felt like an invisible chain holding me back, a conflict between my passion and his expectations.
Then something unexpected happened. Mrs. Williams called my dad for a meeting. I was nervous but also hopeful. Mrs. Williams was not just an educator; she was also a parent and understood the balance between academics and extracurricular activities. She had seen students succeed in both and I hoped she could convince my dad.
After the meeting, my dad seemed to be in deep thought. He didn’t speak immediately, taking his time as if weighing his words carefully. Finally, he broke the silence, “Mrs. Williams made some good points about teamwork and discipline. Maybe it’s time to rethink my stance (立场) on you playing basketball.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was thrilled but also cautious. “So, can I play in the tournament ” I asked.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I scanned the audience, I spotted my dad.

A couple has recently placed their garbage can out for collection for the first time in 14 months, all thanks to their recycling skills. Richard and Louise Arnold have established such an effective routine that they only need to put their garbage can on the side of the street once a year.
Louise explained that making small monthly changes in her life has resulted in her family producing very little waste. She said, “It’s not as difficult as you might think if you start with small steps. We began with soap, switching from bath cream to natural soap without packaging. These bars are large enough that we cut them in half, using one for the sink and the other half for the shower. It’s both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.”
“So it’s actually quite easy. Just go around your house and think of little things you can do gradually, and you’ll start noticing the difference,” Louise added. Currently, the couple takes recyclable waste to the tip, donates clothes to charity shops, and brings soft plastics and batteries to a shop that accepts them.
In 2017, the couple established No Waste Living, which initially started as a weekend stall at the local market and has since developed into a website. Louise regularly writes a newsletter for her hundreds of subscribers. They also started selling eco-friendly products, ranging from non-chemical household cleaning and washing solutions for a “less toxic home” to bamboo washing-up brushes. Louise mentioned, “I started No Waste Living because I wanted to show our achievement s and lead by example.”
Although the family occasionally faces criticism, Louise remains determined. She said, “The main point of contention(争论) for people regarding new waste rules is having to drive their waste to a recycling center, which adds to their already busy lives. However, in the long run, you will create more space in your home, save money, and spend less time dealing with garbage cans.”
4. How did the couple start their waste reduction journey
A. By replacing small soaps with large ones. B. By using a small amount of bath cream.
C. By using unpackaged soap bars. D. By recycling soft plastics and batteries.
5. Why did the couple found No Waste Living
A. To bring eco-products to market. B. To inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
C. To treat recyclable waste from the neighborhood. D. To answer the call of their subscribers.
6. Why do some people dislike new waste rules
A. They mean more work to deal with garbage.
B. They increase the cost of garbage collection.
C. They establish a set time for waste management.
D. They limit the daily amount of garbage for collection.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A business - minded couple. B. The “less poisonous home” concept.

It’s been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to reemerge in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China’s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.
The new tastes of Generation Z—young people born after 1995—are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent.
”Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China’s rapid development, this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country,“ Professor Zhang Yiwu said.
He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age—they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand. This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.
However, Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.
8. What does the underlined word ”exotic“ in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Foreign. B. Fashionable. C. Traditional. D. Elegant.
9. Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To confirm the rise of new media.
B. To promote Chinese Internet industry.
C. To highlight the popularity of domestic art.
D. To show the popularity of New Year’s Eve gala.
10. What do we know about Generation Z from the passage
A. They have a stronger cultural identity.
B. They are longing for cultural diversity.
C. They have made China develop rapidly.
D. They are more fond of foreign culture.
11. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Confident China, Better Future
B. China’s Progress Results in Cultural Confidence
C. China’s New Generation Redefine Local Culture as Trendy
D. Hanfu Style, Connector of Ancient Fashion and Modern Trend
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. C

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读全文以及根据第一段主旨段“Instead of following other cultures blindly，Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.”(Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化，而是在客观看待异域文化产品的同时，通过弘扬本土文化，对什么是潮流有不同的看法。)可知，本文主要讲述了Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化，对本土文化有更强大的自信，所以C选项“中国新一代将本土文化重新定义为潮流”作为题目最合适。故选C项。

Despite its benefits, drinking milk into adulthood, let alone other animals’ milk, is a strange behavior in the animal kingdom. What makes it even stranger is that an estimated 68 percent of the global human population is actually lactose (乳糖) intolerant. Scientists are still getting to the bottom of why the practice began and continued. This research could unlock new understandings of our food cultures and even our DNA.
The earliest evidence of animal milk drinking dates back almost 9. 000 years to modern-day Turkey near the sea of Marmara. where milk fats have been found on ancient pottery. According to Jessica Hendy. a scientist at the University of York. then milk would have been part of a diverse diet for it was mixed with other food. From its origins, the technology of making use of milk spread into the Caucasus and then across Europe. By the Bronze Age, people may have been using cow’s milk to feed their babies.
For a long time, researchers believed that milk drinking changed as a cultural practice hand in hand with the spread of genetic mutations (变异) that allowed people to tolerate milk into adulthood. But one recent finding suggests milk drinking occurred before these mutations and might not even require them. In Europe. people appear to have been drinking milk for thousands of years before any genetic ability to drink milk became common. The ancient cheese making equipment might offer part of the solution: Fermenting (发酵) milk into yogurt. cheese, or other products reduces the amount of lactose. In Mongolia. researchers have not yet found a genetic mutation that allows people to digest lactose, despite the major role of milk in that culture. So some scientists held that there might be other potential factors helping.
What we do know about the history of milk reveals how wrong-headed one-size-fits-all nutritional guidance can be. In modern America. milk drinking has been presented as a universal good. In reality, how milk is prepared can change the nutritional picture, and how much our bodies process depends, at least in part. on our own genes.
12. What can we learn about milk drinking from paragraph 2
A. It used to be a symbol of identity. B. It initially started with little babies.
C. It was the key diet of ancient people. D. It has been a human tradition for long.
13. Why does the author mention Europe in paragraph 3
A. To give a suggestion. B. To define a concept.
C. To make a prediction. D. To clarify a finding.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Milk consumption functions as a cure-all.
B. Milk intake varies from person to person.
C. Milk’s nutritional value is beyond imagination.
D. One’s milk digestive ability changes constantly.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text

【15题详解】
标题归纳题。根据第一段中“What makes it even stranger is that an estimated 68 percent of the global human population is actually lactose (乳糖) intolerant.”（更奇怪的是，据估计全球 68% 的人口实际上患有乳糖不耐症。）、第二段中“The earliest evidence of animal milk drinking dates back almost 9,000 years”（饮用动物奶的最早证据可以追溯到近九千年前的现代土耳其马尔马拉海附近。）以及最后一段中“researchers have not yet found a genetic mutation that allows people to digest lactose, despite the major role of milk in that culture. So some scientists held that there might be other potential factors helping.”可知全文主要涉及“人们如何开始食用牛奶”“为何部分人乳糖不耐受”“基因突变既然不是人们能够消化牛奶的原因，那么是什么因素让人们可以吸收牛奶”等问题展开，归纳起来即为“牛奶食用之谜”。故选A项。

【答案】Dear fellow students,
Nowadays the environmental pollution is becoming increasingly serious and global warming causes frequent extreme weather. Therefore, I’d like to appeal to all of us to take an active part in protecting the environment.
Everyone can contribute to a better environment and we students can also do our part. It is necessary that we participate in voluntary work such as planting trees and picking up rubbish. Additionally, it is strongly suggested that we should live a low carbon life. For example, it makes sense to turn off the taps, the lights and other electrical appliances when we are not using them. Furthermore, we should attach great importance to garbage sorting and recycling in our daily life, through which we can reduce pollution and conserve natural resources.
Every effort counts. Let’s join hands to make our planet a greener one!

第二节(满分25分)
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。
My dad, John, was a basketball fan. He played in college and even coached a local youth team for a few years. His love for the game was unbelievable, and some of my earliest memories are of us playing basketball in the nearby court. I’ve even seen old photos of him in his college days, a proud smile on his face as he held a basketball. But when it came to my own involvement in basketball, he was surprisingly positive that I should focus only on study. “Basketball won’t pay the bills,” he’d often say, a statement that always struck me as ironic (讽刺的) given how much he loved the sport.
I loved basketball too, and I was pretty good at it. My school coach, Coach Miller, saw potential in me and encouraged me to join the school team. He said I had a natural talent that could take me far if I trained hard. But my dad was against it. He believed that sports would distract me from my studies, and with the final exam around the corner, he didn’t want to take any chances. “Your future is in the classroom, not on the court,” he would insist, dashing my dreams of following in his athletic footsteps.
This tension between us reached a peak when my head teacher, Mrs. Williams, announced a school basketball tournament (联赛). It was a big deal; students from the whole city would come to watch. My friends were excited, and even some teachers were talking about it. However, I knew I couldn’t participate without my dad’s approval. It felt like an invisible chain holding me back, a conflict between my passion and his expectations.
Then something unexpected happened. Mrs. Williams called my dad for a meeting. I was nervous but also hopeful. Mrs. Williams was not just an educator; she was also a parent and understood the balance between academics and extracurricular activities. She had seen students succeed in both, and I hoped she could convince my dad.
After the meeting, my dad seemed to be in deep thought. He didn’t speak immediately, taking his time as if weighing his words carefully. Finally, he broke the silence, “Mrs. Williams made some good points about teamwork and discipline. Maybe it’s time to rethink my stance (立场) on you playing basketball.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

【答案】参考范文：
I was thrilled but also cautious. “So, can I play in the tournament ” I asked. Dad met my gaze with a thoughtful expression before finally breaking into a nod. “Sure,” he said, “Playing in college and coaching that youth team were some of the best times of my life. I shouldn’t deprive you of the right to pursue your passion. ” The moment I heard dad’s words, I was so excited that I couldn’t help but spring to my feet. The tournament was super fun. We got to the finals, and I even made the last shot that won us the game. The crowd got all excited and started clapping and cheering.
As I scanned the audience, I spotted my dad. He was clapping, wearing a proud smile on his face. It was the same smile I had seen in old photos of him playing basketball. After the game, he enveloped me in a warm, tight embrace. “You did well, both on the court and in balancing your responsibilities. I’m proud of you.” As we strolled back home, it dawned on me that basketball had done more than just win me a game. It had bridged a generational gap, promoting mutual understanding between dad and me.
