When the fifth grade school year was almost over, all the girls made autograph(签名) books. As I signed my classmates’ books, I noticed their moms had written in them, too. “I couldn’t be prouder of you. Can’t wait to see how you like junior high!” “Congratulations! We love you and know you have a bright future!”
I asked my mother to sign mine, too. When she handed it back to me, I was anxious to see what she had written. This is what I found on the page:
When a thing is first begun,
Never leave it till it’s done.
Be the labor great or small.
Do it well or not at all.
That was it 1 was frozen. It was an indication to me that, if I couldn’t be perfect, I wasn’t good enough. I held back my tears, left the page in but secretly hoped my classmates wouldn’t read it.
Do it well or not at all. For years, I battled perfectionism and never felt good enough for most of my life.
When my mother was in her eighties, I gave her a book to fill out so we could know more about her. It had questions at the top of each page and then blank space to respond. I secretly hoped she’d been working on it all along. Sadly, not long after, my mother passed away. When I sorted out her belongings, what I wanted more than anything was that book. What I found stopped me short. On page ten, the question was, "What’s the best advice you got from your parents " Her response was what she had written in my autograph book. Even though I’d memorized it years ago, I read it at a slower pace now, seeing it in a new light.
It was written to her by her mother, and she was passing it down to her daughter in the same way. A gift from her to me. She was giving me treasured, valuable advice when all I was thinking about were words of praise. I understand it now.
In paragraph 1, the author found that words from other classmates’ moms ______.
A. contained reflection on life
B. expressed their thankfulness
C. showed pride in their children
D. featured a formal writing style
25. Seeing her mom's words on the autograph book, how did the author feel
A. Disappointed. B. Motivated. C. Hopeful. D. Anxious.
26. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 imply
A. The author memorized the words from her mom.
B. The author was surprised to see the same words again.
C. The author found it easy to see the words clearly under the light.
D. The author began to have a new understanding of her mom's words.
27. What gift did the author's mom give her
A. A vision of a perfect world.
B. Encouragement to do things well.
C. Her mom’s wisdom of loving yourself.
D. Her mom's advice on living at a slow pace.
C
Solar panels—also known as “photovoltaic” panels—are used to turn sunlight into electricity, Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms, But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on water. Because these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltaics”.
The idea isn't as unusual as it might seem. After all, any solar panel has to be waterproof, since it will be out in the rain. There are already several large floatovoltaic farms in Asia. On land, solar panels are held up by special frames (框架). On the water, foatovotaicis are placed on a floating platform attached to the bottom of a lake or reservoir (水库). Floating solar panels cost about 25% more than those placed on land.
The researchers behind the new study looked at 114,5555 reservoirs worldwide. They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large—more than twice
the amount of energy the United States generates in a year. And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world.
Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs’ surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they're not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy.
Floatovoltaics aren’t perfect. Covering too much of a reservoir with panels could affect the plants and animals in the water. The scientists say it will be important to study how floating panels will affect water in each reservoir. Focusing first on man-made reservoirs will avoid some of those problems.
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A. To list solar panels' unusual functions.
B. To show disadvantages of solar panels on land.
C. To introduce the workability of floating solar panels.
D. To make a comparison between different solar panels.
29. How did researchers carry out the new study
A. By looking at reservoirs worldwide.
B. By making computer-aided estimates.
C. By building floatovoftaic farms in the US.
D. By processing data given by specialists
30. What do we know about floating solar panels
A. They are perfect except for the high cost.
B. They function well in extreme hot weather.
C. They will eventually replace photovoltaic panels.
D. They may cause potential harm to water ecosystem.
31.What is a suitable title for the text
A. Floating Solar Panels—Making Energy. Saving Water
B. Floating Solar Panels—A New Way to Cool the Planet
C. Floating Solar Panels: Our Final Choice
D. Floating Solar Panels Take Us Back to Water

In the lab, most mice go as far as to take electric shocks in their desperation to consume sugar. Mice aren’t alone. Humans do something similar. Daily snacking on processed foods, recent studies show, rewires the brain’s reward circuits(回路).
Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist at the University of Michigan, argues that highly Processed foods, very high in fat and carbohydrate, don’t exist naturally. “They’re designed by food scientists to look a certain way, feel a certain way in your mouth, smell a certain way when you open the package.” she says, “People aren’t losing control over beans.”
In highly processed snacks, sugar often goes together with fat-a combination that could make such foods even more addictive. For a 2023 study, DeFeliceantonio’s team asked 82 people to snack on either high-fat, high-sugar yogurts or low-sugar, low-fat ones for eight weeks. The scientists discovered not only that the first group’s preference for the healthier yogurts decreased after the trial but that their brain activation patterns changed, too. When tasting fatty, sugary milkshakes, they had an increased response in their reward circuits. “Highly processed foods are controlling the brain in a way you’d see with addiction to drugs,” DeFeliceantonio says.
In 2022,Gearhardt and DeFeliccantonio published an opinion piece in the journal Addiction arguing that highly processed foods should be classified(分类) as addictive. Hebebrand, a psychiatrist at the University of Duisburg-Essen, however, worries that rushing to classify certain foods as addictive could let the sugar industry make an easy escape. It may be following “the playbook of the tobacco industry.” After all, there was no clear proof that nicotine(尼古丁) was addictive, either: researchers didn’t know the dosage(剂量) at which it became addictive. As a result, the addictive nature of tobacco was opposed for decades. Considering highly processed foods’ harmful health effects, Gearhardt argues that it's better to risk misclassifying highly processed foods as addictive than to fail to label (贴标签) them as such. “It’s cigarettes all over again.” She says.
32. What does paragraph 2 suggest
A. Processed foods are tastier than natural ones.
B. Beans are much healthier than processed foods.
C. People can become addicted to processed foods.
D. The design of processed foods takes great effort.
33.According to the 2023 study, those eating high-fat, high-sugar yogurts have ______.
A. decreased response to healthy foods in reward system
B. increased likelihood of developing addiction to drugs
C. increased difficulty in activating the brain with drugs
D. decreased interest in highly processed snacks
34. What is Hebebrand 's attitude towards classifying sugar as addictive
A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
35. What docs Gearhardt mean by saying “It’s cigarettes all over again.”
A. It’s time we labeled tobacco as addictive.
B. The market will be filled with processed foods.
C. we should classify sugar as addictive before it’s too late.
D. It’s a mistake to have misclassified cigarettes as addictive.

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。
There you were, sitting in a classroom, practicing writing letters and words. Maybe you were printing (手写印剧字体) them, or maybe you were learning cursive (草体). At some point, you probably asked yourself," Why do I need to know how to write when all I need is to press the keys on a computer ” 36 It also helps you remember the information that you write down.
37 Actually, beginner printing is usually very messy, and sometimes we cannot even tell what the letters are. Also, the shape of each letter can change each time a child tries to write it. But remember that every time a child sees a letter that looks a little different but still has the same name, it helps the child’s brain to learn that letter.
Research has also shown that if you wrote something by hand, you would remember it better than if you typed it on your computer! Why does this happen 38 But speed may be the problem! When we type information, we tend to type exactly what the teacher is saying without thinking about it. Writing by hand takes longer, so we cannot record everything the teacher says. When writing, we tend to put things into our own words or summarize what the teacher says. 39
In summary, writing by hand can help you learn new things like letters, but it also allows you to remember information better than if you typed it. It does not matter how you write—printing, cursive, abbreviations (缩写). 40 So, keep writing!
A. That makes things a lot easier.
B. It just matters that you write by hand.
C. Surely it is quicker to type during a lecture than to write, right
D. What did your printing look like when you first started to write
E. In a way, taking notes by hand is a way of studying while we are learning!
F. Well, in short, writing by hand helps you learn a set of symbols more easily.
G. When people write letters, they actively see and feel the letters being written.

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.
Officer Jonda was driving on a dangerous road one cold, dark winter night. The storm made it difficult to see, but she could tell the car in front of her was swaying. Although it was still within its lane, Jonda had a sixth sense for accidents and lived in terror of them ever since that awful night so many years ago. She still couldn’t abolish the terrible image of that teenager screaming for help, her help. Help that she had been unable to give as she was driven back by the intense heat of the car fire. These were memories Jonda could never really turn off. She counted on her training for support, and these days she never ignored any signs of the next accident.
Her partner, David, took the first step. “Let’s pull that car over before someone gets hurt,” he said. The car ahead slowed down, but not enough to stop, and ended up sliding off the road into the Dalton River. Jonda quickly stopped her police car and rushed to the water’s edge, yelling at David to call for backup. The rain had caused the river to rise and the car was half submerged ( 淹没), trapped against a tree, and the passenger seat was underwater. Jonda was filled with a sense of dread. In the heavy rain, she could barely see, but she could hear the trapped driver screaming and banging on the window.
“Never again!” This is too much, too familiar, Jonda thought.
She called for the window hammer, rushing towards the car. The water was rising quickly, reaching up to her waist and chilling her to the bone. She had to work fast or risked losing feeling in her lower body. Through the window, she saw an old woman named Sandy, chest-deep in water, wearing a work badge.
David caught up with Jonda and passed her the window hammer. Jonda yelled at the old woman to turn away from the glass. She swung the hammer, but the thick glass barely cracked. Her heart sank as she realized that the car was slowly being freed from the tree.
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。
She struck the glass again, and this time it broke into little pieces. Tears streamed down Jonda’s cheeks as she held Sandy tightly.江苏省通州高级中学高二（上）英语学科 （二）

M:My problem is that I always postpone doing things, probably because I don't want to do them.
W:You are what Elizabeth calls an “admin avoider”. She suggested having a written record of
tasks that can be satisfying to cross off as you do them. She also mentioned that we need to find
the meaning of doing them, so we can see the benefit of completing our to-do list.

Last year, I saw a kind of seabird when I was visiting an island, where they built their nests.
Each female seabird laid just one egg every year. Young seabirds were cute. I was told that, as
winter came,their parents left them behind and flew off to sea. It was hunger rather than loneliness
that made young seabirds fly off their nests. In the daytime, young seabirds headed out to sea.At
night, when they returned home, it was a different story. They always used the stars for finding
directions, but the light of the town could fool them and make them head in the wrong direction.
So I helped the local teenagers, who were allowed to stay out late and rescue young seabirds. After
a night of rescuing, we carried the young seabirds down to the beach and threw them up high.
Some seabirds weren't ready to be released if they were injured or whatever. In that case, they
were taken to the local hospital. It was really rewarding to see them fly toward the sea again.

When the fifth grade school year was almost over, all the girls made autograph (签名) books. As I signed my classmates’ books, I noticed their moms had written in them, too. “I couldn’t be prouder of you. Can’t wait to see how you like junior high!” “Congratulations! We love you and know you have a bright future!”
I asked my mother to sign mine, too. When she handed it back to me, I was anxious to see what she had written. This is what I found on the page:
When a thing is first begun,
Never leave it till it’s done.
Be the labor great or small.
Do it well or not at all.
That was it I was frozen. It was an indication to me that, if I couldn’t be perfect, I wasn’t good enough. I held back my tears, left the page in but secretly hoped my classmates wouldn’t read it.
Do it well or not at all. For years, I battled perfectionism and never felt good enough for most of my life.
When my mother was in her eighties, I gave her a book to fill out so we could know more about her. It had questions at the top of each page and then blank space to respond. I secretly hoped she’d been working on it all along. Sadly, not long after, my mother passed away. When I sorted out her belongings, what I wanted more than anything was that book. What I found stopped me short. On page ten, the question was, “What’s the best advice you got from your parents ” Her response was what she had written in my autograph book. Even though I’d memorized it years ago, I read it at a slower pace now, seeing it in a new light.
It was written to her by her mother, and she was passing it down to her daughter in the same way. A gift from her to me. She was giving me treasured, valuable advice when all I was thinking about were words of praise. I understand it now.
4．In paragraph 1, the author found that words from other classmates’ moms ________.
A．contained reflection on life
B．expressed their thankfulness
C．showed pride in their children
D．featured a formal writing style
5．Seeing her mom’s words on the autograph book, how did the author feel
A．Disappointed. B．Motivated. C．Hopeful. D．Anxious.
6．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 imply
A．The author memorized the words from her mom.
B．The author was surprised to see the same words again.
C．The author found it easy to see the words clearly under the light.
D．The author began to have a new understanding of her mom’s words.
7．What gift did the author’s mom give her
A．A vision of a perfect world.
B．Encouragement to do things well.
C．Her mom’s wisdom of loving yourself.
D．Her mom’s advice on living at a slow pace.
【答案】4．C 5．A 6．D 7．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者起初对妈妈在签名簿上的写的内容不理解，在母亲去世后作者才理解了那些话的意义。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段“ I noticed their moms had written in them, too. “I couldn’t be prouder of you. Can’t wait to see how you like junior high!” “Congratulations! We love you and know you have a bright future!”(我注意到他们的妈妈也在上面写了字。“我为你感到无比骄傲。等不及想看看你的初中生活了!”“恭喜你!我们爱你，知道你有一个光明的未来!”)”可知，在第一段中，作者发现其他同学妈妈的话是以他们的孩子为傲。故选C。
5．推理判断题。根据正文第三段“That was it I was frozen. It was an indication to me that, if I couldn’t be perfect, I wasn’t good enough. I held back my tears, left the page in but secretly hoped my classmates wouldn’t read it.(就这样？我僵住了。这对我来说是一种暗示，如果我不能做到完美，我就不够好。我强忍着眼泪，留下了那一页，但心里暗暗希望同学们不要看。)”可知，看到妈妈在签名簿上写的字，作者是失望的，故选A。
6．词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Even though I’d memorized it years ago, I read it at a slower pace now, seeing it in a new light.(尽管我多年前就已经记住了，但我现在读它的速度变慢了，以一种新的眼光看待它。)”和最后一段“I understand it now.(我现在明白了。)”可知，第5段划线的句子表示作者开始对她妈妈的话有了新的理解。故选D。
7．推理判断题。根据作者妈妈写的话“When a thing is first begun, Never leave it till it’s done. Be the labor great or small. Do it well or not at all.(当一件事刚开始时，不做完就不要离开。无论劳动是大是小。要么做好，要么不做。)”以及最后一段的“It was written to her by her mother, and she was passing it down to her daughter in the same way. A gift from her to me.(这封信是她母亲写给她的，她正以同样的方式传给女儿。是她送给我的礼物。)”可知，作者的妈妈写的这些话就是给作者的礼物，从这些话可知，作者的妈妈鼓励作者把事情做好，故选B。

Solar panels—also known as “photovoltaic” panels—are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on waler. Because these panels float, some
people call them “floatovoltacs”.
The idea isn’t as unusual as it might seem. After all, any solar panel has to be waterproof, since it will be out in the rain. There are already several large floatovoltaic farms in Asia. On land, so panels are held up by special frames (框架). On the water, foatovotaicis are placed on a floating platfom attached to the boto of a lake or reservoir (水库). Floating solar panels cost about 25% more than those placed on land.
The researchers behind the new study looked at 14.5555 reservoirs worldwide. They used computer progams to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large—more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world.
Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs’ surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they’re not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy.
Floatovoltaics aren’t perfect. Covering too much of a reservoir with panels could affect the plants and animals in the water. The scientists say it will be important to study how floating panels will affect water in each reservoir. Focusing first on man-made reservoirs will avoid some of those problems.
8．What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A．To list solar panels’ unusual functions.
B．To show disadvantages of solar panels on land.
C．To introduce the workability of floating solar panels.
D．To make a comparison between different solar panels.
9．How did researchers carry out the new study
A．By looking at reservoirs worldwide.
B．By making computer-aided estimates.
C．By building floatovoftaic farms in the US.
D．By processing data given by specialists.
10．What do we know about floating solar panels
A．They are perfect except for the high cost.
B．They function well in extreme hot weather.
C．They will eventually replace photovoltaic panels.
D．They may cause potential harm to water ecosystem.
11．What is the suitable title for the text
A．Floating Solar Panels—Making Energy, Saving Water
B．Floating Solar Panels—A New Way to Cool the Planet
C．Floating Solar Panels: Our Final Choice
D．Floating Solar Panels Take Us Back to Water
【答案】8．C 9．B 10．D 11．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了浮动太阳能电池板的优势——既能发电又能节约水。
8．推理判断题。根据第二段“The idea isn’t as unusual as it might seem. After all, any solar panel has to be waterproof, since it will be out in the rain. There are already several large floatovoltaic farms in Asia. On land, so panels are held up by special frames (框架). On the water, foatovotaicis are placed on a floating platfom attached to the boto of a lake or reservoir (水库). Floating solar panels cost about 25% more than those placed on land.(这个想法并不像看起来那么不寻常。毕竟，任何太阳能电池板都必须是防水的，因为它会在雨中使用。亚洲已经有几个大型的浮动光伏电站。在陆地上，太阳能板由特殊框架支撑。在水面上，浮动太阳能电池板被放置在附着在湖底或水库底部的浮动平台上，浮动太阳能电池板的成本比放置在陆地上的太阳能电池板高出25%左右。)”可知，第2段的目的是介绍浮动太阳能电池板的可操作性。故选C。
9．推理判断题。根据第三段“They used computer progams to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels.(他们用计算机程序计算出，如果在30%的水库上安装浮动太阳能电池板，每年可以产生多少电力。)”可知，研究人员是通过计算机辅助估算来进行这项新研究的。故选B。
10．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Covering too much of a reservoir with panels could affect the plants and animals in the water.(用面板覆盖太多的水库可能会影响水中的植物和动物。)”可知，浮动太阳能电池板可能对水生态系统造成潜在危害。故选D。
11．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第三段“The answer was surprisingly large—more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world.(答案惊人地大——是美国一年发电量的两倍多，是目前世界上所有太阳能发电量的10倍。)”和倒数第二段“Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs.(浮动光伏还可以通过限制水库的蒸发来帮助节约用水。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是主要介绍了浮动太阳能电池板的优势——既能发电又能节约水，因此最好的题目是A选项“Floating Solar Panels—Making Energy, Saving Water(浮动太阳能电池板——发电，节水)”。故选A。
D
In the lab, most mice go as far as to take electric shocks in their desperation to consume sugar. Mice aren’t alone. Humans do something similar. Daily snacking on processed foods, recent studies show, rewires the brain’s reward circuits(回路).
Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist at the University of Michigan, argues that highly Processed foods, very high in fat and carbohydrate, don’t exist naturally. “They’re designed by food scientists to look a certain way, feel a certain way in your mouth, smell a certain way when you open the package.” she says, “People aren’t losing control over beans.”
In highly processed snacks, sugar often goes together with fat-a combination that could make such foods even more addictive. For a 2023 study, DeFeliceantonio’s team asked 82 people to snack on either high-fat, high-sugar yogurts or low-sugar, low-fat ones for eight weeks. The scientists discovered not only that the first group’s preference for the healthier yogurts decreased after the trial but that their brain activation patterns changed, too. When tasting fatty, sugary milkshakes, they had an increased response in their reward circuits. “Highly processed foods are controlling the brain in a way you’d see with addiction to drugs,” DeFeliceantonio says.
In 2022,Gearhardt and DeFeliccantonio published an opinion piece in the journal Addiction arguing that highly processed foods should be classified(分类) as addictive. Hebebrand, a psychiatrist at the University of Duisburg-Essen, however, worries that rushing to classify certain foods as addictive could let the sugar industry make an easy escape. It may be following “the playbook of the tobacco industry.” After all, there was no clear proof that nicotine(尼古丁) was
addictive, either: researchers didn’t know the dosage(剂量) at which it became addictive. As a result, the addictive nature of tobacco was opposed for decades. Considering highly processed foods’ harmful health effects, Gearhardt argues that it’s better to risk misclassifying highly processed foods as addictive than to fail to label (贴标签) them as such. “It’s cigarettes all over again.” She says.
12．What does paragraph 2 suggest
A．Processed foods are tastier than natural ones.
B．Beans are much healthier than processed foods.
C．People can become addicted to processed foods.
D．The design of processed foods takes great effort.
13．According to the 2023 study, those eating high-fat, high-sugar yogurts have ________.
A．decreased response to healthy foods in reward system
B．increased likelihood of developing addiction to drugs
C．increased difficulty in activating the brain with drugs
D．decreased interest in highly processed snacks
14．What is Hebebrand ‘s attitude towards classifying sugar addictive
A．Supportive. B．Cautious. C．Unconcerned. D．Unclear.
15．What does Gearhardt mean by saying “It’s cigarettes all over again.”
A．It’s time we labeled tobacco as addictive.
B．The market will be filled with processed foods.
C．we should classify sugar as addictive before it’s too late.
D．It’s a mistake to have misclassified cigarettes as addictive.
【答案】12．C 13．A 14．B 15．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了最近的研究表明，每天吃加工食品会重新连接大脑的奖励回路，会对加工食品上瘾。
12．推理判断题。根据第二段“Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist at the University of Michigan, argues that highly Processed foods, very high in fat and carbohydrate, don’t exist naturally. “They’re designed by food scientists to look a certain way, feel a certain way in your mouth, smell a certain way when you open the package.” she says, “People aren’t losing control over beans.””（密歇根大学临床心理学家阿什利·吉尔哈特(Ashley Gearhardt)认为，高脂肪和高碳水化合物的高度加工食品并不是自然存在的。“它们是由食品科学家设计的，当你打开包装时，它们看起来有某种特定的方式，在嘴里有某种特定的感觉，闻到某种特定的味道。她说，“人们并没有失去对豆子的控制。”）并联系第三段的“In highly processed snacks, sugar often goes together with fat-a combination that could make such foods even more addictive. (在高度加工的零食中，糖经常和脂肪混在一起，这一组合会使这些食物更容易上瘾。)”可以推断出人们会对加工食品上瘾。故选C项。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中“For a 2023 study, DeFeliceantonio’s team asked 82 people to snack on either high-fat, high-sugar yogurts or low-sugar, low-fat ones for eight weeks. The scientists discovered not only that the first group’s preference for the healthier yogurts decreased after the trial but that their brain activation patterns changed, too.When tasting fatty, sugary milkshakes, they had an increased response in their reward circuits.”（在2023年的一项研究中，DeFeliceantonio的团队要求82人在八周内食用高脂肪、高糖的酸奶或低糖、低脂的酸奶。
科学家们发现，不仅第一组人对健康酸奶的偏好在试验后下降了，而且他们的大脑活动模式也发生了变化。当品尝高脂肪、含糖的奶昔时，他们的奖励回路反应增强。）可知，根据2023年的研究，那些吃高脂肪、高糖酸奶的人对奖励系统中健康食品的反应降低。故选A项。
14．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Hebebrand, a psychiatrist at the University of Duisburg-Essen, however, worries that rushing to classify certain foods as addictive could let the sugar industry make an easy escape. It may be following “the playbook of the tobacco industry.” After all, there was no clear proof that nicotine(尼古丁) was addictive, either: researchers didn’t know the dosage(剂量) at which it became addictive. As a result, the addictive nature of tobacco was opposed for decades.”（然而，杜伊斯堡-埃森大学的精神病学家Hebebrand担心，急于将某些食物归类为成瘾食品可能会让制糖业轻松逃脱。它可能是在遵循“烟草业的剧本”。毕竟，没有明确的证据表明尼古丁会上瘾，研究人员也不知道尼古丁上瘾的剂量。因此，烟草的成瘾性被反对了几十年。）可推知，Hebebrand对糖上瘾归类的态度是谨慎的。故选B项。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Considering highly processed foods’ harmful health effects, Gearhardt argues that it’s better to risk misclassifying highly processed foods as addictive than to fail to label (贴标签) them as such. “It’s cigarettes all over again.” She says.”（考虑到深加工食品对健康的有害影响，Gearhardt认为，与其不给深加工食品贴上这样的标签，还不如冒险将其错误地归类为成瘾性食品。“香烟又来了。”她说。）可推知，Gearhardt说的“香烟又来了”意思是我们应该趁早把糖归类为成瘾性食物。故选C项。
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。
There you were, sitting in a classroom, practicing writing letters and words. Maybe you were printing (手写印剧字体) them, or maybe you were learning cursive (草体). At some point, you probably asked yourself, “Why do I need to know how to write when all 1 need is to press the keys on a computer ” 16 It also helps you remember the information that you write down.
17 Actually, beginner printing is usually very messy, and sometimes we cannot even tell what the letters are. Also, the shape of each letter can change each time a child tries to write it. But remember that every time a child sees a letter that looks a little different but still has the same name, it helps the child’s brain to learn that letter.
Research has also shown that if you wrote something by hand, you would remember it better than if you typed it on your computer! Why does this happen 18 But speed may be the problem! When we type information, we tend to type exactly what the teacher is saying. Without thinking about it. Writing by hand takes longer, so we cannot record everything the teacher says. When writing, we tend to put things into our own words or summarize what the teacher says. 19
In summary, writing by hand can help you learn new things like letters, but it also allows you to remember information better than if you typed it. It does not matter how you write—printing, cursive, abbreviations (宿写). 20 So, keep writing!
A．That makes things a lot easier.
B．It just matters that you write by hand.
C．Surely it is quicker to type during a lecture than to write, right
D．What did your printing look like when you first started to write
E．In a way, taking notes by hand is a way of studying while we are learning!
F．Well, in short, writing by hand helps you learn a set of symbols more easily.
G．When people write letters, they actively see and feel the letters being written.
【答案】16．F 17．D 18．C 19．E 20．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是手写字的好处。
16．空前“At some point, you probably asked yourself, “Why do I need to know how to write when all 1 need is to press the keys on a computer ”(在某些时候，你可能会问自己，“当我所需要的只是按电脑上的键时，为什么我需要知道如何写？”)”说明我们需要用手写字，空后“It also helps you remember the information that you write down.(它还可以帮助你记住你写下的信息。)”说明了用手写字的好处，由also可知，空格处也应该讲用手写字的一个好处，F选项“Well, in short, writing by hand helps you learn a set of symbols more easily.(简而言之，手写可以帮助你更容易地学习一组符号。)”是用手写的一个好处，也是空前那个问题的回答，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选F。
17．空后“Actually, beginner printing is usually very messy, and sometimes we cannot even tell what the letters are.(实际上，初学字体通常很乱，有时我们甚至不知道字母是什么。)”说明了初学者写的字很乱，空格处应该是问“你刚开始学写字时写的字是什么样的”，D选项“What did your printing look like when you first started to write (当你第一次开始写作时，你的字体是什么样子的？)”提出你刚学写字时的字体是什么样的这个问题，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选D。
18．空前“Research has also shown that if you wrote something by hand, you would remember it better than if you typed it on your computer!(研究还表明，如果你手写一些东西，你会比在电脑上把它们打出来记得更好！)”说明手写有利于记住东西，空后“But speed may be the problem!(但速度可能是问题所在！)”说明了速度快反而是问题，空格处应该指出在电脑上打字更快，C选项“Surely it is quicker to type during a lecture than to write, right (上课时打字肯定比写字快，对吧？)”说明了在电脑上打字更快，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选C。
19．空前“When we type information, we tend to type exactly what the teacher is saying. Without thinking about it. Writing by hand takes longer, so we cannot record everything the teacher says. When writing, we tend to put things into our own words or summarize what the teacher says.(当我们输入信息时，我们倾向于准确地输入老师所说的内容。想都不用想。手写需要更长的时间，所以我们不能把老师说的每一句话都记录下来。在写作时，我们倾向于用自己的话来表达，或者总结老师所说的话。)”说明我们手写时倾向于用自己的话来表达，或者总结老师所说的话，这说明手写更有利于学习，E选项“In a way, taking notes by hand is a way of studying while we are learning!(在某种程度上，手写笔记是我们学习的一种学习方式！)”说明了手写笔记是学习的一种方式，承接上文，符合语境，故选E。
20．空前“In summary, writing by hand can help you learn new things like letters, but it also allows you to remember information better than if you typed it. It does not matter how you write—printing, cursive, abbreviations (宿写).(总之，手写可以帮助你学习新的东西，比如字母，但它也能让你比打字更好地记住信息。不管你怎么写，印刷体，草书，缩写。)”说明了手写是很有好处的，空后“So, keep writing!(所以，继续写！)”说明了要继续写，因此空格处应该说手写是重要的，B选项“It just matters that you write by hand.(重要的是你要手写。)”说明了手写很重要，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选B。

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。
Officer Jonda was driving on a dangerous road one cold, dark winter night. The storm made it difficult to see, but she could tell the car in front of her was swaying. Although it was still within its lane, Jonda had a sixth sense for accidents and lived in terror of them ever since that awful night so many years ago. She still couldn't abolish the terrible image of that teenager screaming for help, her help. Help that she had been unable to give as she was driven back by the intense heat of the car fire. These were memories Jonda could never really turn off. She counted on her training for support, and these days she never ignored any signs of the next accident.
Her partner, David, took the first step. “Let’s pull that car over before someone gets hurt,” he said. The car ahead slowed down, but not enough to stop, and ended up sliding off the road into the Dalton River. Jonda quickly stopped her police car and rushed to the water's edge, yelling at David to call for backup. The rain had caused the river to rise and the car was half submerged(淹没), trapped against a tree, and the passenger seat was underwater. Jonda was filled with a sense of dread. In the heavy rain, she could barely see, but she could hear the trapped driver screaming and banging on the window.
“Never again!” This is too much, too familiar, Jonda thought.
She called for the window hammer, rushing towards the car. The water was rising quickly, reaching up to her waist and chilling her to the bone. She had to work fast or risked losing feeling in her lower body. Through the window, she saw an old woman named Sandy, chest-deep in water, wearing a work badge.
David caught up with Jonda and passed her the window hammer. Jonda yelled at the old woman to turn away from the glass. She swung the hammer, but the thick glass barely cracked. Her heart sank as she realized that the car was slowly being freed from the tree.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;

She struck the glass again, and this time it broke into little pieces.

【答案】范文
She struck the glass again, and this time it broke into little pieces. Water rushed in, and the car finally broke free and started to drift downstream. Sandy sighed, her lips shivering. Jonda leaned in and wrapped her arms around Sandy, comforting her that her family weren’t going to lose her. She instructed Sandy to put her arms around her neck and hold on tightly. David grabbed Jonda’s waist and pulled with all his strength. They managed to pull the poor woman out of the car through the broken window just before it was swallowed by the water.
Tears streamed down Jonda’s cheeks as she held Sandy tightly. “We didn’t lose you! We didn’t lose you!” she cried with relief. Sandy, frozen and sore, thanked Jonda deeply for Jonda’s bravery. But to Sandy’s surprise, Jonda also expressed gratitude. Then Jonda shared the story with Sandy. Since the accident many years ago, the image of the teenager was always flashing through her mind, which had become her nightmare. It was Sandy who gave Jonda a chance to get rid of her sense of guilt.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在寒冷的冬夜，Jonda警官在路上发现前面的车落入水中，帮助车内的人逃生的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“她又敲了一下玻璃，这次玻璃碎成了小块。”可知，第一段可描写Jonda怎样把Sandy从车里救出来。
②由第二段首句内容“Jonda紧紧地抱着Sandy，眼泪顺着脸颊流了下来。”可知，第二段可描写Sandy获救了，Sandy向Jonda表达感谢，可为什么Jonda流泪呢？Jonda给Sandy讲述了另外一个故事，正是Sandy把Jonda从自责中解脱出来。
2.续写线索：寒冷的冬夜里行驶——预感前车出事故——联想之前无能为力的事故——前车落水——想办法救援——救助成功——消除内疚
3.词汇激活
行为类①颤抖：shiver/shake
②拉，拽：pull/drag/draw
