Jase’s family had his twin sisters, Milly and Rosie, his dad, Peter, and his mom, Lydia. They were happy in their comfortable small home.
When Jase ran down the stairs, he saw a large Christmas tree in the living room and a great number of present, boxes under it. He knew it was finally Christmas. The excited little boy rummaged through the presents for a good ten minutes before finding his.
“A fire truck!” he shouted so excitedly and loudly that his father, who was outside clearing snow, and his mother, who was in the kitchen, rushed into the living room. Jase had learned at school that firefighters were true heroes who saved people from danger. So the little boy wished to be a firefighter, and all his favorite toys were also related to firefighters! Jase was so happy with his Christmas present that he spent the whole day driving his toy truck. He also gave his little sisters a ride in it, and they loved it.
After dinner that night, when everyone was asleep, Jase was up and decided to take his truck down to the living room and play with it. Trying not to make a noise, he reached the living room. He sat inside his toy truck and began driving it around, imagining how he would do it if he were a real firefighter.
Suddenly, Jase felt something strange—a mixture of smoke, heat, and light. Jase’s parents had forgotten to put out some candles, which had caught the tree and the living room curtains on fire.
The fire was spreading fast, and Jase panicked. He shouted as he rushed upstairs to wake up his twin sisters. Milly woke up and ran downstairs with him, but Rosie was asleep, so he carried her in his arms. He then put his sisters in the truck and rushed to Peter and Lydia’s room.
Peter and Lydia called 911, and firefighters arrived and put out the fire.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
8. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.
A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food
C. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely different food
9. Which of the following eats only one type of food
A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird.
C. The bear. D. The fox.
10. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.
A. the season changes B. the food color changes
C. they move to different places D. they are attracted by different smells
11. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.
A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good
C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet
D
A French cook is preparing foods with something surprising insects. The European Union has recently approved some sorts of insects as an tolerable food product. Insects provide many nutrients and are an environmentally friendly food.
The food Laurent Veyet prepares is not for those with little bravery. However, what he is preparing may point to the future of feeding a growing world population. One of his foods is a prawn salad with yellow mealworms. It includes insects on a bed of vegetables with grasshoppers covered in chocolate, a food usually meant for sweets. The restaurant is located in Paris among others with outdoor seating and plenty of sunlight. Eaters who are ready to try something different approve of Veyet’s complex foods.
The Parisian cook talked about the perfect meal for first-timers. He was preparing a pasta made with crushed mealworms, sweet potatoes and young insects cooked on the stove. He said, “There are some really interesting flavors. Not many people could say they don’t like that.” Mealworms, and insects more generally, could provide a sustainable food source that produces low greenhouse gases for the future.
Soheil Ayari was eating with his two daughters. He approved of the food. He said, “I feel like I am in a traditional restaurant.” He said only the idea behind what he ate was different. He continued to say, “and honestly, the tastes are very similar to traditional food.” Ayari’s young daughter also enjoyed the food: “it’s environmentally friendly and, what’s more, it’s good.”
Veyet grows his mealworms on site. He feeds them cooked grains and vegetables. While the mealworm may not look like something worth eating, it is in fact the larvae of the darkling beetle. These beetles are rich in protein, fat and other nutrients. The mealworm can be used in many different meals. It can be cooked whole and eaten, or it can be ground to help make foods like bread.
12. What does the underlined word “tolerable” in the first paragraph probably mean
A. Original. B. Acceptable. C. Typical. D. Instant.
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A. Insects may be a source of the main food for human beings in the future.
B. Various of insects may not be on the table in the future.
C. Insects has been the main food for people nowadays.
D. Insect breeding has become a huge industry.
14. How does the cook feel about his insect food according to Paragraph 3
A. Skeptical. B. Confident. C. Unacceptable. D. Disappointed.
15. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To introduce a surprising insect food.
B. To stress the advantages of insect food.
C. To appeal for acceptance of insect food.
D. To discuss methods of cooking insect food.

I had stutters (口吃), especially when I was nervous. When our teacher announced the upcoming speech contest in our school for this year, I was filled with a mix of emotions—excitement and regret.
When I got home, Mum saw the sad look on my face and worriedly asked, "What happened "
“This year’s speech contest is coming,” I explained. “I...I...”
“Would you like to attend this year ” Mum asked. “You’ve always wanted to give it a try.” Her words reminded me of my experience last year.
Last year when our our teacher announced that there would be a speech contest and everyone interested in it were welcome to join it. I signed up for it at first but I finally gave it up because of my stutters. At the time, my best friend Amy felt really sorry for me and said, “Alice, actually you’re really good at writing a speech. You have the ability to give a speech.”
I sighed. Seeing my hesitation, Mum patted my shoulder to comfort me, saying “Maybe next year.”
“Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to get some air. She nodded with an encouraging smile.
As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the speech contest. I wished I felt a little bit braver. But my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I imagined speaking with stutters in public.
While I was wandering in the neighbourhood, I met Ms. Smith, who was walking her dog. She has been a warm kind lady with wisdom who often cared about the children in the neighbourhood. Noticing that I was blue, she kindly ask what happened. I told her about the speech contest. Hearing the news, she gave me an encouraging smile and said, “We only live once, Alice.” With these words, Ms. Smith smiled goodbye.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150 左右;

Watching her leave, I stood there, thinking about her words.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
8. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.
A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food
C. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely different food
9. Which of the following eats only one type of food
A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird.
C. The bear. D. The fox.
10. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.
A. the season changes B. the food color changes
C. they move to different places D. they are attracted by different smells
11. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.
A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good
C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D

A French cook is preparing foods with something surprising insects. The European Union has recently approved some sorts of insects as an tolerable food product. Insects provide many nutrients and are an environmentally friendly food.
The food Laurent Veyet prepares is not for those with little bravery. However, what he is preparing may point to the future of feeding a growing world population. One of his foods is a prawn salad with yellow mealworms. It includes insects on a bed of vegetables with grasshoppers covered in chocolate, a food usually meant for sweets. The restaurant is located in Paris among others with outdoor seating and plenty of sunlight. Eaters who are ready to try something different approve of Veyet’s complex foods.
The Parisian cook talked about the perfect meal for first-timers. He was preparing a pasta made with crushed mealworms, sweet potatoes and young insects cooked on the stove. He said, “There are some really interesting flavors. Not many people could say they don’t like that.” Mealworms, and insects more generally, could provide a sustainable food source that produces low greenhouse gases for the future.
Soheil Ayari was eating with his two daughters. He approved of the food. He said, “I feel like I am in a traditional restaurant.” He said only the idea behind what he ate was different. He continued to say, “and honestly, the tastes are very similar to traditional food.” Ayari’s young daughter also enjoyed the food: “it’s environmentally friendly and, what’s more, it’s good.”
Veyet grows his mealworms on site. He feeds them cooked grains and vegetables. While the mealworm may not look like something worth eating, it is in fact the larvae of the darkling beetle. These beetles are rich in protein, fat and other nutrients. The mealworm can be used in many different meals. It can be cooked whole and eaten, or it can be ground to help make foods like bread.
12. What does the underlined word “tolerable” in the first paragraph probably mean

13. What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A. Insects may be a source of the main food for human beings in the future.
B. Various of insects may not be on the table in the future.
C. Insects has been the main food for people nowadays.
D. Insect breeding has become a huge industry.
14. How does the cook feel about his insect food according to Paragraph 3
A. Skeptical. B. Confident. C. Unacceptable. D. Disappointed.
15. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To introduce a surprising insect food.

【答案】Possible version:
In my opinion, cooking by myself is preferable to ordering delivered food.
First, the meals I cook by myself are healthier because I always use fresh and healthy ingredients. Second, I can cook the food according to my own preferences entirely. Last but not least, eating homemade foods is usually much cheaper than ordering delivered food. Of course, there are some disadvantages of cooking by myself. For example, cooking by myself takes time and I have to spend some time cleaning up afterward.
Balancing the advantages and the disadvantages, I would prefer to cook by myself.
第二节（满分25）
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。
I had stutters (口吃), especially when I was nervous. When our teacher announced the upcoming speech contest in our school for this year, I was filled with a mix of emotions—excitement and regret.
When I got home, Mum saw the sad look on my face and worriedly asked, "What happened "
“This year’s speech contest is coming,” I explained. “I...I...”
“Would you like to attend this year ” Mum asked. “You’ve always wanted to give it a try.” Her words reminded me of my experience last year.
Last year when our our teacher announced that there would be a speech contest and everyone interested in it were welcome to join it. I signed up for it at first but I finally gave it up because of my stutters. At the time, my best friend Amy felt really sorry for me and said, “Alice, actually you’re really good at writing a speech. You have the ability to give a speech.”
I sighed. Seeing my hesitation, Mum patted my shoulder to comfort me, saying “Maybe next year.”
“Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to get some air. She nodded with an encouraging smile.
As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the speech contest. I wished I felt a little bit braver. But my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I imagined speaking with stutters in public.
While I was wandering in the neighbourhood, I met Ms. Smith, who was walking her dog. She has been a warm kind lady with wisdom who often cared about the children in the neighbourhood. Noticing that I was blue, she kindly ask what happened. I told her about the speech contest. Hearing the news, she gave me an encouraging smile and said, “We only live once, Alice.” With these words, Ms. Smith smiled goodbye.
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。
Watching her leave, I stood there, thinking about her words.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon, it was the day for my speech contest.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Watching her leave, I stood there, thinking about her words. “We only live once.” It hit me like a bolt of lightning. I realized that if I let stutters hold me back forever, I would miss out on countless opportunities. I made up my mind to participate. I started practicing day and night. I recorded myself speaking, analyzed every stutter, and worked on techniques to control my breathing. With each practice, I felt a bit more confident.
Soon, it was the day for my speech contest. Standing backstage, my heart pounded wildly. But when I stepped onto the stage and saw the expectant faces of the audience, I took a deep breath. As I began to speak, stutters did occur, but I didn’t let them disturb me. I focused on the message I wanted to convey. To my astonishment, the audience listened attentively. When I finished, they erupted into thunderous applause. At that moment, I knew that my decision to be brave had paid off, and I had overcome my inner fear, regardless of the result.

I had stutters (口吃), especially when I was nervous. When our teacher announced the upcoming speech contest in our school for this year, I was filled with a mix of emotions—excitement and regret.
When I got home, Mum saw the sad look on my face and worriedly asked, "What happened "
“This year’s speech contest is coming,” I explained. “I...I...”
“Would you like to attend this year ” Mum asked. “You’ve always wanted to give it a try.” Her words reminded me of my experience last year.
Last year when our our teacher announced that there would be a speech contest and everyone interested in it were welcome to join it. I signed up for it at first but I finally gave it up because of my stutters. At the time, my best friend Amy felt really sorry for me and said, “Alice, actually you’re really good at writing a speech. You have the ability to give a speech.”
I sighed. Seeing my hesitation, Mum patted my shoulder to comfort me, saying “Maybe next year.”
“Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to get some air. She nodded with an encouraging smile.
As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the speech contest. I wished I felt a little bit braver. But my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I imagined speaking with stutters in public.
While I was wandering in the neighbourhood, I met Ms. Smith, who was walking her dog. She has been a warm kind lady with wisdom who often cared about the children in the neighbourhood. Noticing that I was blue, she kindly ask what happened. I told her about the speech contest. Hearing the news, she gave me an encouraging smile and said, “We only live once, Alice.” With these words, Ms. Smith smiled goodbye.

Jase’s family had his twin sisters, Milly and Rosie, his dad, Peter, and his mom, Lydia. They were happy in their comfortable small home.
When Jase ran down the stairs, he saw a large Christmas tree in the living room and a great number of present, boxes under it. He knew it was finally Christmas. The excited little boy rummaged through the presents for a good ten minutes before finding his.
“A fire truck!” he shouted so excitedly and loudly that his father, who was outside clearing snow, and his mother, who was in the kitchen, rushed into the living room. Jase had learned at school that firefighters were true heroes who saved people from danger. So the little boy wished to be a firefighter, and all his favorite toys were also related to firefighters! Jase was so happy with his Christmas present that he spent the whole day driving his toy truck. He also gave his little sisters a ride in it, and they loved it.
After dinner that night, when everyone was asleep, Jase was up and decided to take his truck down to the living room and play with it. Trying not to make a noise, he reached the living room. He sat inside his toy truck and began driving it around, imagining how he would do it if he were a real firefighter.
Suddenly, Jase felt something strange—a mixture of smoke, heat, and light. Jase’s parents had forgotten to put out some candles, which had caught the tree and the living room curtains on fire.
The fire was spreading fast, and Jase panicked. He shouted as he rushed upstairs to wake up his twin sisters. Milly woke up and ran downstairs with him, but Rosie was asleep, so he carried her in his arms. He then put his sisters in the truck and rushed to Peter and Lydia’s room.
Peter and Lydia called 911, and firefighters arrived and put out the fire.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
8. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.
A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food
C. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely different food
9. Which of the following eats only one type of food
A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird.
C. The bear. D. The fox.
10. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.
A. the season changes B. the food color changes
C. they move to different places D. they are attracted by different smells
11. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.
A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good
C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D
D
A French cook is preparing foods with something surprising insects. The European Union has recently approved some sorts of insects as an tolerable food product. Insects provide many nutrients and are an environmentally friendly food.
The food Laurent Veyet prepares is not for those with little bravery. However, what he is preparing may point to the future of feeding a growing world population. One of his foods is a prawn salad with yellow mealworms. It includes insects on a bed of vegetables with grasshoppers covered in chocolate, a food usually meant for sweets. The restaurant is located in Paris among others with outdoor seating and plenty of sunlight. Eaters who are ready to try something different approve of Veyet’s complex foods.
The Parisian cook talked about the perfect meal for first-timers. He was preparing a pasta made with crushed mealworms, sweet potatoes and young insects cooked on the stove. He said, “There are some really interesting flavors. Not many people could say they don’t like that.” Mealworms, and insects more generally, could provide a sustainable food source that produces low greenhouse gases for the future.
Soheil Ayari was eating with his two daughters. He approved of the food. He said, “I feel like I am in a traditional restaurant.” He said only the idea behind what he ate was different. He continued to say, “and honestly, the tastes are very similar to traditional food.” Ayari’s young daughter also enjoyed the food: “it’s environmentally friendly and, what’s more, it’s good.”
Veyet grows his mealworms on site. He feeds them cooked grains and vegetables. While the mealworm may not look like something worth eating, it is in fact the larvae of the darkling beetle. These beetles are rich in protein, fat and other nutrients. The mealworm can be used in many different meals. It can be cooked whole and eaten, or it can be ground to help make foods like bread.
12. What does the underlined word “tolerable” in the first paragraph probably mean
A Original. B. Acceptable. C. Typical. D. Instant.
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A. Insects may be a source of the main food for human beings in the future.
B. Various of insects may not be on the table in the future.
C. Insects has been the main food for people nowadays.
D. Insect breeding has become a huge industry.
14. How does the cook feel about his insect food according to Paragraph 3
A. Skeptical. B. Confident. C. Unacceptable. D. Disappointed.
15. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To introduce a surprising insect food.
B. To stress the advantages of insect food.

【答案】Possible version:
In my opinion, cooking by myself is preferable to ordering delivered food.
First, the meals I cook by myself are healthier because I always use fresh and healthy ingredients. Second, I can cook the food according to my own preferences entirely. Last but not least, eating homemade foods is usually much cheaper than ordering delivered food. Of course, there are some disadvantages of cooking by myself. For example, cooking by myself takes time and I have to spend some time cleaning up afterward.
Balancing the advantages and the disadvantages, I would prefer to cook by myself.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Watching her leave, I stood there, thinking about her words. “We only live once.” It hit me like a bolt of lightning. I realized that if I let stutters hold me back forever, I would miss out on countless opportunities. I made up my mind to participate. I started practicing day and night. I recorded myself speaking, analyzed every stutter, and worked on techniques to control my breathing. With each practice, I felt a bit more confident.
Soon, it was the day for my speech contest. Standing backstage, my heart pounded wildly. But when I stepped onto the stage and saw the expectant faces of the audience, I took a deep breath. As I began to speak, stutters did occur, but I didn’t let them disturb me. I focused on the message I wanted to convey. To my astonishment, the audience listened attentively. When I finished, they erupted into thunderous applause. At that moment, I knew that my decision to be brave had paid off, and I had overcome my inner fear, regardless of the result.
