The Earth is one huge, living organism, and we have the privilege of calling it home. We enjoy the beauty of blue skies, the shade of tall trees, and the soft motion of waves.
Being able to breathe clean air is largely a result of the way plants absorb carbon and purify the air on our planet home. The Amazon forest functions as Earth’s lungs. But deforestation (毁林) has made it difficult for the jungle to do its job.
Though there are many efforts to plant trees, the remoteness of the jungles makes it difficult. LuigiCani, the world-record-holding skydiver, felt like there was something he could do. After 14,000 jumps, Cani was ready to put his skills to good use.
Cani picked a 100-square-kilometer patch of land that needed to be reseeded in the northern part of the rainforest. The planning was detailed. For two months, seeds were collected by hand from nearby native plants. A special box the size of a refrigerator was built, a landing site was identified, and all the permits were secured from the local governments. The box had its own drag parachute (降落伞) to slow it down so Cani could catch up to it as it fell, open it at the right altitude, then safely throw it away and open his parachute.
The result was a cloud of 100 million seeds, bursting from the box like mad insects and settling into a gentle storm of potential trees floating from the sky in a beautiful eruption of life. The seeds fell at exactly where they needed to be. Ultimately, 95% would germinate (发芽) successfully. Like a proud father, Cani charts their growth via satellite images. Some trees will reach 50 meters in height, guarding the Amazon for generations to come.
Cani isn’t done with his efforts to care for our earthly home. His next jump will bring skydiving and ocean cleanup together. “Like the seed drop, this next project will have real meaning behind it.”
4．What is a challenge to grow trees in the Amazon
A．The extreme climate. B．The inaccessibility of the jungles.
C．Lack of effective methods. D．People’s deforestation.

6．Which word can be used to describe Luigi Cani
A．Determined and proud. B．Charitable and wealthy.
C．Talented and generous. D．Responsible and courageous.
7．What can be the best title for the passage
A．Collecting Millions of Seeds
B．Luigi Cani — a Record-Breaker
C．The Amazon Forest — Earth’s Lungs
D．Reforesting the Amazon with Luigi Cani’s Efforts
Over the last decade, the majority of businesses have changed to cashless transactions (交易). This shift to a subscription-based economy has been seen as a win-win for businesses and consumers alike, offering predictable income streams for companies and user convenience. However, it seems that the consumers may not be benefiting as much as we think.
At its core, the subscription model is economically advantageous for businesses. It transforms unpredictable purchases into steady income. This predictability is gold for companies, enabling better financial planning, investment, and growth strategies. For startups and established businesses alike, the allure of a subscription model lies in its ability to foster customer loyalty and generate consistent cash flow, elements crucial for survival and expansion in competitive markets.
For consumers, recognizing the negative effects of the subscription model requires a deeper understanding of its impact on spending behavior, particularly in the context of digital transactions. This model influences how consumers perceive and engage with their spending. The transition from traditional one-time purchases to a subscription-based approach capitalizes on the less tangible nature of digital payments, which can often lead to increased consumer spending.
This problem worsens in the context of subscription services, where consumers typically forget their subscriptions due to automated payments. Subscriptions tend to use the psychological principle of “set it and forget it.” This aspect is particularly beneficial for companies as it reduces churn rates (流失率) and increases customer lifetime value while allowing targeted marketing that further enhances profitability. However, this negatively impacts the consumers and it is easy for companies to raise prices without us fully realizing it.
Subscription culture has reshaped consumer behavior and financial habits with a combination of convenience and continuous access. Although these services offer a steady income model for businesses, they pose a risk of unnoticed financial loss, especially for people with budget constraints. The solution lies in users’ carefully managing subscriptions and ensuring that their chosen services provide ongoing value rather than serving as silent financial stress.
8．What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Principle. B．Precondition. C．Attraction. D．Challenge.
9．What disadvantage of cashless transactions is mentioned
A．The possibility of overspending. B．The damage to individual credit.
C．The dependence on online banking. D．The difficulty in withdrawing the payment.
10．What is most likely to be the author’s advice
A．Seek legal help when necessary. B．Manage subscriptions with care.
C．Keep track of the businesses closely. D．Cancel automated payment on the phone.
11．What is the author’s attitude toward the subscription-based economy
A．Objective. B．Doubtful. C．Optimistic. D．Critical.
In an emerging red flag for the digital era, sleep experts have warned us to avoid screen time in bed, sounding the alarm that light emitted from phones and other electronic devices can disrupt (扰乱) our sleep patterns.
Now, researchers have found that light disruption is not only a health concern for humans. A new study led by Professor James Nieh has found that artificial light disrupts the sleep-wake cycles of honey bees and poses a threat to their essential role as pollinators (传粉者).
Honey bees generally prefer to nest in dark environments and play a crucial role as pollinators of wild plants and important crops, providing services that support ecosystem stability and global food security. Without pollination, crops worth tens of millions of dollars would be at risk.
Like us, when bees experience a poor night’s sleep and disrupted sleep patterns, problems in behavior and function emerge. Sleep is crucial for the health and fitness of honey bees since they depend on a complicated system of communication known as the “waggle dance” that informs nest mates about the location of food sources in the environment. Bees dance more poorly and therefore do not communicate as well if they do not get enough sleep.
In the experiments, researchers compared groups of bees that sleep in the dark with others that were subjected to continuous artificial light. The results clearly showed that exposure to light for a long time significantly disrupted the sleep pattern of honey bees, leading to impaired (受损的) behaviors.
“Even without analyzing the data you can tell that there was something going on… the bees that were under constant light slept less and were more frequently disturbed by other bees compared to those kept in normal darkness. Also, bees under continuous light exhibited a preference for darker areas within their experimental cages,” said Nieh.
“Understanding the factors that affect bee health, such as light pollution, is essential for developing strategies to protect pollinator populations, and this research sheds new light on how such disturbances may be harming pollinators,” said Nieh.
12．What is the researchers’ new finding
A．Honey bees are highly active insects.
B．Artificial light is a danger to the ecosystem.
C．Electronic devices can disrupt people’s sleep patterns.
D．Bees’ health depends on the change of their environment.
13．Why is the waggle dance mentioned in the text
A．To prove the intelligence of honey bees.
B．To show how bees’ sleep pattern is disrupted.
C．To point out the importance of sleep for bees.
D．To indicate how bees are different from other insects.
14．What phenomenon appeared in the experiments
A．The energetic bees tended to sleep less.
B．The bees in the dark often disturbed each other.
C．The bees with impaired behaviors stopped dancing.
D．The bees exposed to constant artificial light preferred darkness.
15．Which statement might Nieh agree with
A．Light pollution is killing bees in nature.
B．Light pollution is not a small thing for bees.
C．Bees dance better in the sun than in the street light.
D．Bees change their sleep pattern to adapt to the environment.
How to Stop Making Excuses and Start Living Instead
Whether it’s delaying a difficult conversation or putting off pursuing your biggest dreams, excuses provide us with a temporary shelter from the discomfort we face in our daily lives. 16 By remaining in our comfort zone, we fail to grow and miss out on the good things life has to offer.
17 They make excuses, get stuck in their lives, and repeat the process over and over again. As a former excuse-maker myself, I have learned first hand just what it takes to learn how to stop making excuses for good. In this passage, I will share several practical tips on how to stop making excuses.
As we all know, one of the most common reasons that people make excuses is to avoid responsibility. To stop making excuses, you should shift the focus to your own duty. 18 Accepting full responsibility will definitely be uncomfortable at first. But it’s the most important thing you can do to break free from excuse-making.
Besides, you should challenge your limiting beliefs. We all have limiting beliefs that form the foundation of different types of excuses that we make. 19 They show up as you tell yourself that you’ll never succeed or that certain goals are out of reach. Consider replacing the negative thoughts with more positive beliefs.
Setting goals is one of the best ways to overcome excuses. When setting goals, it’s important to be realistic about what you want to achieve. Try breaking big dreams into specific and achievable goals. 20
A．In this way, you can easily set a realistic goal.
B．These excuses will leave others a bad impression.
C．There are many examples of limiting beliefs in our lives.
D．In my life, I see a lot of people get stuck in the same cycle.
E．Then you’ ll notice the excuses you make begin to lose their power.
F．The more concrete your goals are, the less room there is for excuses.
G．However, they do this at the cost of our long-term sense of satisfaction.

五、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
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 tears flowed when the commercial came on again. It seemed like the station was playing this commercial every fifteen minutes, and I couldn’t bear to see it again. I don’t know what the advertisement was trying to sell, but a large, lovely family was gathered around a long table with a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone was talking, laughing, and beaming happily at one another.
That was my family once. Those were such happy times, and I never thought about the time when they would be just a memory. For the past three years, there has only been me. This Thanksgiving, Iplanned to open a can of soup and sit alone at my kitchen table again. It would just be me and my memories.
The next morning, I went to the supermarket to pick up a few things. Most of the other shoppers were putting huge turkeys and hams in their carts, preparing for Thanksgiving Day. I stood looking at the cans of soup while people with carts full with all kinds of wonderful things passed me. I sighed. “You can do a little better than this,” I said to myself, looking at the turkey in my hand.
On my way out of the store, I stopped by the bulletin board where people posted things for sale,odd jobs they needed done, babysitter want ads, and so forth. I paused in front of the bulletin board as an idea formed in my mind. Before I could talk myself out of it, I fished around in my purse for the paper and pen. There was a bench nearby, and I sat down to carefully compose my note. It had to sound sincere.
My heart raced as I wrote it:
Are you going to be alone on Thanksgiving Day So am I. But we don’t have to be. Let’s get together and share a meal, some conversations, and some companionship. Everyone who is interested is encouraged to reply. No restrictions of any kind. Any age, sex, race, religion, etc. If you, like me, don’t look forward to being alone on Thanksgiving Day, please call.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们喜欢找借口的原因、习惯找借口的坏处以及如何帮助人们改掉这个坏习惯。
【解析】16．上文“Whether it’s delaying a difficult conversation or putting off pursuing your biggest dreams, excuses provide us with a temporary shelter from the discomfort we face in our daily lives.(无论是推迟一场艰难的对话，还是推迟追求你最大的梦想，借口都为我们提供了一个暂时的避风港，让我们得以逃避日常生活中所面临的不适)”及下文“By remaining in our comfort zone, we fail to grow and miss out on the good things life has to offer.(通过停留在我们的舒适区，我们无法成长，也会错过生活中许多美好的事物)”说明借口看似给人们带来的好处，下文又指出如果一直待在舒适区的坏处，由此推断所填内容应该和“借口给人们带来的坏处”有关，G选项“However, they do this at the cost of our long-term sense of satisfaction.(然而，它们是以牺牲我们长期的满足感为代价做到的)”中的however表示转折，指出虽然借口可以暂时逃避不适，但是会牺牲长期的满足感，和上文构成对比关系，而和下文构成顺承关系，符合语境。故选G。
17．下文“They make excuses, get stuck in their lives, and repeat the process over and over again.(他们找借口，陷入生活中，一遍又一遍地重复这个过程)”说明有些人总是找借口，陷入循环，这是对上文内容的解释，D选项中“I see a lot of people get stuck in the same cycle.(我看到很多人陷入了同样的循环)”与之相呼应，下文句中的“repeat the process over and over again”和D选项中的“the same cycle”属于相似表达，故D选项“In my life, I see a lot of people get stuck in the same cycle.(在我的生活中，我看到很多人陷入同样的循环)”符合语境。故选D。
18．上文“To stop making excuses, you should shift the focus to your own duty.(为了停止找借口，你应该把注意力转移到自己的责任上)”说明具体停止找借口的方法，即“需要把注意力转移到你的职责上”，空处可能介绍这种方法带来的好处，E选项“Then you’ ll notice the excuses you make begin to lose their power.(然后你会发现你找的借口开始失去效力)”可以承接上文，说明当你转移注意力到自己的责任上时，你会发现借口开始失去力量，符合语境。故选E。
19．上文“Besides, you should challenge your limiting beliefs. We all have limiting beliefs that form the foundation of different types of excuses that we make.(此外，你应该挑战你的限制性信念。我们都有限制性信念，这些信念构成了我们所做的不同类型借口的基础)”说明要挑战限制性信念，C选项中“limiting beliefs in our lives(生活中的限制性信念)”与之相呼应，且C项“There are many examples of limiting beliefs in our lives.(在我们的生活中，限制性信念的例子很多)”是对上文的进一步说明，且下文内容“They show up as you tell yourself that you’ll never succeed or that certain goals are out of reach. Consider replacing the negative thoughts with more positive beliefs.(它们表现为当你告诉自己你永远不会成功，或者某些目标是遥不可及的时候。考虑用更积极的信念来替代这些消极的想法)”是对C选项“examples”的例证。故选C。
20．上文“Setting goals is one of the best ways to overcome excuses. When setting goals, it’s important to be realistic about what you want to achieve. Try breaking big dreams into specific and achievable goals.(设定目标是克服借口的最好方法之一。在设定目标时，对自己想要实现的目标保持现实的态度很重要。试着把大梦想分解成具体且可实现的目标)”说明设定目标是克服借口的好方法，要把大梦想分解成具体且可实现的目标，F选项中“your goals(你的目标)”与之相呼应，且F项“The more concrete your goals are, the less room there is for excuses.(你的目标越具体，借口的余地就越小)”进一步说明目标越具体，借口就越少，可以承接上文，其中concrete和上文specific是同义词，故F选项符合语境。故选F。

The Earth is one huge, living organism, and we have the privilege of calling it home. We enjoy the beauty of blue skies, the shade of tall trees, and the soft motion of waves.
Being able to breathe clean air is largely a result of the way plants absorb carbon and purify the air on our planet home. The Amazon forest functions as Earth’s lungs. But deforestation (毁林) has made it difficult for the jungle to do its job.
Though there are many efforts to plant trees, the remoteness of the jungles makes it difficult. LuigiCani, the world-record-holding skydiver, felt like there was something he could do. After 14,000 jumps, Cani was ready to put his skills to good use.
Cani picked a 100-square-kilometer patch of land that needed to be reseeded in the northern part of the rainforest. The planning was detailed. For two months, seeds were collected by hand from nearby native plants. A special box the size of a refrigerator was built, a landing site was identified, and all the permits were secured from the local governments. The box had its own drag parachute (降落伞) to slow it down so Cani could catch up to it as it fell, open it at the right altitude, then safely throw it away and open his parachute.
The result was a cloud of 100 million seeds, bursting from the box like mad insects and settling into a gentle storm of potential trees floating from the sky in a beautiful eruption of life. The seeds fell at exactly where they needed to be. Ultimately, 95% would germinate (发芽) successfully. Like a proud father, Cani charts their growth via satellite images. Some trees will reach 50 meters in height, guarding the Amazon for generations to come.
Cani isn’t done with his efforts to care for our earthly home. His next jump will bring skydiving and ocean cleanup together. “Like the seed drop, this next project will have real meaning behind it.”

B．Luigi Cani — a Record-Breaker
C．The Amazon Forest — Earth’s Lungs
D．Reforesting the Amazon with Luigi Cani’s Efforts
Over the last decade, the majority of businesses have changed to cashless transactions (交易). This shift to a subscription-based economy has been seen as a win-win for businesses and consumers alike, offering predictable income streams for companies and user convenience. However, it seems that the consumers may not be benefiting as much as we think.
At its core, the subscription model is economically advantageous for businesses. It transforms unpredictable purchases into steady income. This predictability is gold for companies, enabling better financial planning, investment, and growth strategies. For startups and established businesses alike, the allure of a subscription model lies in its ability to foster customer loyalty and generate consistent cash flow, elements crucial for survival and expansion in competitive markets.
For consumers, recognizing the negative effects of the subscription model requires a deeper understanding of its impact on spending behavior, particularly in the context of digital transactions. This model influences how consumers perceive and engage with their spending. The transition from traditional one-time purchases to a subscription-based approach capitalizes on the less tangible nature of digital payments, which can often lead to increased consumer spending.
This problem worsens in the context of subscription services, where consumers typically forget their subscriptions due to automated payments. Subscriptions tend to use the psychological principle of “set it and forget it.” This aspect is particularly beneficial for companies as it reduces churn rates (流失率) and increases customer lifetime value while allowing targeted marketing that further enhances profitability. However, this negatively impacts the consumers and it is easy for companies to raise prices without us fully realizing it.
Subscription culture has reshaped consumer behavior and financial habits with a combination of convenience and continuous access. Although these services offer a steady income model for businesses, they pose a risk of unnoticed financial loss, especially for people with budget constraints. The solution lies in users’ carefully managing subscriptions and ensuring that their chosen services provide ongoing value rather than serving as silent financial stress.
8．What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Principle. B．Precondition. C．Attraction. D．Challenge.
9．What disadvantage of cashless transactions is mentioned
A．The possibility of overspending. B．The damage to individual credit.
C．The dependence on online banking. D．The difficulty in withdrawing the payment.
10．What is most likely to be the author’s advice
A．Seek legal help when necessary. B．Manage subscriptions with care.
C．Keep track of the businesses closely. D．Cancel automated payment on the phone.
11．What is the author’s attitude toward the subscription-based economy
A．Objective. B．Doubtful. C．Optimistic. D．Critical.
In an emerging red flag for the digital era, sleep experts have warned us to avoid screen time in bed, sounding the alarm that light emitted from phones and other electronic devices can disrupt (扰乱) our sleep patterns.
Now, researchers have found that light disruption is not only a health concern for humans. A new study led by Professor James Nieh has found that artificial light disrupts the sleep-wake cycles of honey bees and poses a threat to their essential role as pollinators (传粉者).
Honey bees generally prefer to nest in dark environments and play a crucial role as pollinators of wild plants and important crops, providing services that support ecosystem stability and global food security. Without pollination, crops worth tens of millions of dollars would be at risk.
Like us, when bees experience a poor night’s sleep and disrupted sleep patterns, problems in behavior and function emerge. Sleep is crucial for the health and fitness of honey bees since they depend on a complicated system of communication known as the “waggle dance” that informs nest mates about the location of food sources in the environment. Bees dance more poorly and therefore do not communicate as well if they do not get enough sleep.
In the experiments, researchers compared groups of bees that sleep in the dark with others that were subjected to continuous artificial light. The results clearly showed that exposure to light for a long time significantly disrupted the sleep pattern of honey bees, leading to impaired (受损的) behaviors.
“Even without analyzing the data you can tell that there was something going on… the bees that were under constant light slept less and were more frequently disturbed by other bees compared to those kept in normal darkness. Also, bees under continuous light exhibited a preference for darker areas within their experimental cages,” said Nieh.
“Understanding the factors that affect bee health, such as light pollution, is essential for developing strategies to protect pollinator populations, and this research sheds new light on how such disturbances may be harming pollinators,” said Nieh.
12．What is the researchers’ new finding
A．Honey bees are highly active insects.
B．Artificial light is a danger to the ecosystem.
C．Electronic devices can disrupt people’s sleep patterns.
D．Bees’ health depends on the change of their environment.
13．Why is the waggle dance mentioned in the text
A．To prove the intelligence of honey bees.
B．To show how bees’ sleep pattern is disrupted.
C．To point out the importance of sleep for bees.
D．To indicate how bees are different from other insects.
14．What phenomenon appeared in the experiments
A．The energetic bees tended to sleep less.
B．The bees in the dark often disturbed each other.
C．The bees with impaired behaviors stopped dancing.
D．The bees exposed to constant artificial light preferred darkness.
15．Which statement might Nieh agree with
A．Light pollution is killing bees in nature.
B．Light pollution is not a small thing for bees.
C．Bees dance better in the sun than in the street light.
D．Bees change their sleep pattern to adapt to the environment.
How to Stop Making Excuses and Start Living Instead
Whether it’s delaying a difficult conversation or putting off pursuing your biggest dreams, excuses provide us with a temporary shelter from the discomfort we face in our daily lives. 16 By remaining in our comfort zone, we fail to grow and miss out on the good things life has to offer.
17 They make excuses, get stuck in their lives, and repeat the process over and over again. As a former excuse-maker myself, I have learned first hand just what it takes to learn how to stop making excuses for good. In this passage, I will share several practical tips on how to stop making excuses.
As we all know, one of the most common reasons that people make excuses is to avoid responsibility. To stop making excuses, you should shift the focus to your own duty. 18 Accepting full responsibility will definitely be uncomfortable at first. But it’s the most important thing you can do to break free from excuse-making.
Besides, you should challenge your limiting beliefs. We all have limiting beliefs that form the foundation of different types of excuses that we make. 19 They show up as you tell yourself that you’ll never succeed or that certain goals are out of reach. Consider replacing the negative thoughts with more positive beliefs.
Setting goals is one of the best ways to overcome excuses. When setting goals, it’s important to be realistic about what you want to achieve. Try breaking big dreams into specific and achievable goals. 20
A．In this way, you can easily set a realistic goal.
B．These excuses will leave others a bad impression.
C．There are many examples of limiting beliefs in our lives.
D．In my life, I see a lot of people get stuck in the same cycle.
E．Then you’ ll notice the excuses you make begin to lose their power.
F．The more concrete your goals are, the less room there is for excuses.
G．However, they do this at the cost of our long-term sense of satisfaction.

Everyone was talking, laughing, and beaming happily at one another.
That was my family once. Those were such happy times, and I never thought about the time when they would be just a memory. For the past three years, there has only been me. This Thanksgiving, Iplanned to open a can of soup and sit alone at my kitchen table again. It would just be me and my memories.
The next morning, I went to the supermarket to pick up a few things. Most of the other shoppers were putting huge turkeys and hams in their carts, preparing for Thanksgiving Day. I stood looking at the cans of soup while people with carts full with all kinds of wonderful things passed me. I sighed. “You can do a little better than this,” I said to myself, looking at the turkey in my hand.
On my way out of the store, I stopped by the bulletin board where people posted things for sale,odd jobs they needed done, babysitter want ads, and so forth. I paused in front of the bulletin board as an idea formed in my mind. Before I could talk myself out of it, I fished around in my purse for the paper and pen. There was a bench nearby, and I sat down to carefully compose my note. It had to sound sincere.
My heart raced as I wrote it:
Are you going to be alone on Thanksgiving Day So am I. But we don’t have to be. Let’s get together and share a meal, some conversations, and some companionship. Everyone who is interested is encouraged to reply. No restrictions of any kind. Any age, sex, race, religion, etc. If you, like me, don’t look forward to being alone on Thanksgiving Day, please call.

【解析】4．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Though there are many efforts to plant trees, the remoteness of the jungles makes it difficult. (虽然有很多努力来种树，但丛林的偏远使它变得困难)”可知，在亚马逊种植树木的挑战是丛林的难以进入。故选B项。
5．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Cani picked a 100-square-kilometer patch of land that needed to be reseeded in the northern part of the rainforest. The planning was detailed. For two months, seeds were collected by hand from nearby native plants. A special box the size of a refrigerator was built, a landing site was identified, and all the permits were secured from the local governments. The box had its own drag parachute (降落伞) to slow it down so Cani could catch up to it as it fell, open it at the right altitude, then safely throw it away and open his parachute.(Cani在雨林北部挑选了一块100平方公里的需要重新播种的土地。计划是详细的。在两个月的时间里，他们从附近的原生植物中手工采集种子。建造了一个冰箱大小的特殊盒子，确定了着陆点，并从地方政府获得了所有许可。这个箱子有自己的拖曳降落伞，可以让它减速，这样卡尼就可以在它下落时追上它，在合适的高度打开它，然后安全地扔掉它，打开降落伞。)”以及第五段“The result was a cloud of 100 million seeds, bursting from the box like mad insects and settling into a gentle storm of potential trees floating from the sky in a beautiful eruption of life.(结果是1亿颗种子组成的云，像疯狂的昆虫一样从盒子里炸出来，形成一场温和的风暴，潜在的树木在一次美丽的生命爆发中从天空漂浮起来)”等内容可知，Cani利用他的跳伞技能帮忙播种。故选A项。
6．推理判断题。通读全文，根据最后一段“Cani isn’t done with his efforts to care for our earthly home.

【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了无现金交易和订阅制经济对企业和消费者的影响，指出虽然这种模式对企业有诸多好处，但消费者可能并未如我们所想的那样受益，甚至可能面临过度消费的风险。
【解析】8．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“It transforms unpredictable purchases into steady income. This predictability is gold for companies, enabling better financial planning, investment, and growth strategies.(它将不可预测的购买转化为稳定的收入。这种可预测性对公司来说是金子，可以使公司更好地进行财务规划、投资和增长战略)”和划线词所在句“for startups and established businesses alike, the allure of a subscription model lies in its ability to foster customer loyalty and generate consistent cash flow, elements crucial for survival and expansion in competitive markets.(对于初创企业和成熟企业来说，订阅模式的allure在于它能够培养客户忠诚度并产生稳定的现金流，这是在竞争激烈的市场中生存和扩张的关键因素)”可知，订阅模式对公司有很多好处，所以对公司很有“吸引力”。由此可推知，划线词allure意为“吸引力”，与Attraction同义。故选C项。
9．细节理解题。根据第三段中“This model influences how consumers perceive and engage with their spending. The transition from traditional one-time purchases to a subscription-based approach capitalizes on the less tangible nature of digital payments, which can often lead to increased consumer spending.(这种模式影响了消费者对消费的理解和参与方式。从传统的一次性购买过渡到基于订阅的方式，利用了数字支付较不具体的特性，这往往会导致消费者支出增加)”可知，无现金交易的缺点是可能导致过度消费。故选A项。
10．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The solution lies in users’ carefully managing subscriptions and ensuring that their chosen services provide ongoing value rather than serving as silent financial stress.(解决方案在于用户要仔细管理订阅，并确保他们选择的服务能提供持续的价值，而不是成为无声的财务压力)”可知，作者最有可能给出的建议是谨慎管理订阅。故选B项。
11．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Over the last decade, the majority of businesses have changed to cashless transactions (交易). This shift to a subscription-based economy has been seen as a win-win for businesses and consumers alike, offering predictable income streams for companies and user convenience. However, it seems that the consumers may not be benefiting as much as we think.(在过去的十年里，大多数企业已经转变为无现金交易。这种向订阅制经济的转变被视为对企业和消费者都有利的双赢，为公司提供可预测的收入流，并为用户提供便利。然而，消费者似乎并没有像我们想象的那样受益良多)”可知，作者客观地分析了订阅制经济对企业和消费者的影响，既指出了其对企业的好处，也指出了消费者可能面临的问题，由此可推知，作者对订阅制经济持客观态度。故选A项。
【答案】12．B 13．C 14．D 15．B
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究，即人造光会干扰蜜蜂的睡眠周期，并对其作为传粉者的重要角色构成威胁。
【解析】12．推理判断题。根据第二段中“A new study led by Professor James Nieh has found that artificial light disrupts the sleep-wake cycles of honey bees and poses a threat to their essential role as pollinators (传粉者).(詹姆斯·尼教授领导的一项新研究发现，人造光会干扰蜜蜂的睡眠觉醒周期，并对其作为传粉者的基本角色构成威胁)”可推知，研究人员的新发现是人造光干扰了蜜蜂的睡眠周期，影响了其传粉的角色，这对生态系统来说是一种威胁。故选B项。
13．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Sleep is crucial for the health and fitness of honey bees since they depend on a complicated system of communication known as the “waggle dance” that informs nest mates about the location of food sources in the environment. Bees dance more poorly and therefore do not communicate as well if they do not get enough sleep.(睡眠对蜜蜂的健康和体质至关重要，因为它们依赖于一种复杂的交流系统，即“摇摆舞”，来告知巢友环境中食物来源的位置。如果蜜蜂睡眠不足，它们的舞蹈就会更差，因此交流也会受到影响)”可知，文中提到“摇摆舞”是为了指出睡眠对蜜蜂的重要性。故选C项。
14．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Also, bees under continuous light exhibited a preference for darker areas within their experimental cages(此外，在持续光照下的蜜蜂表现出对实验笼内较暗区域的偏好)”可知，在实验中，持续暴露在人造光下的蜜蜂更喜欢黑暗。故选D项。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段““Understanding the factors that affect bee health, such as light pollution, is essential for developing strategies to protect pollinator populations, and this research sheds new light on how such disturbances may be harming pollinators,” said Nieh.(“了解影响蜜蜂健康的因素，如光污染，对于制定保护传粉者种群的策略至关重要，这项研究为这些干扰如何可能损害传粉者提供了新的见解，”尼说)”可知，尼认为光污染对蜜蜂来说不是一件小事，因为它可能损害蜜蜂。故选B项。
【答案】16．G 17．D 18．E 19．C 20．F
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们喜欢找借口的原因、习惯找借口的坏处以及如何帮助人们改掉这个坏习惯。
【解析】16．上文“Whether it’s delaying a difficult conversation or putting off pursuing your biggest dreams, excuses provide us with a temporary shelter from the discomfort we face in our daily lives.(无论是推迟一场艰难的对话，还是推迟追求你最大的梦想，借口都为我们提供了一个暂时的避风港，让我们得以逃避日常生活中所面临的不适)”及下文“By remaining in our comfort zone, we fail to grow and miss out on the good things life has to offer.(通过停留在我们的舒适区，我们无法成长，也会错过生活中许多美好的事物)”说明借口看似给人们带来的好处，下文又指出如果一直待在舒适区的坏处，由此推断所填内容应该和“借口给人们带来的坏处”有关，G选项“However, they do this at the cost of our long-term sense of satisfaction.(然而，它们是以牺牲我们长期的满足感为代价做到的)”中的however表示转折，指出虽然借口可以暂时逃避不适，但是会牺牲长期的满足感，和上文构成对比关系，而和下文构成顺承关系，符合语境。故选G。
17．下文“They make excuses, get stuck in their lives, and repeat the process over and over again.(他们找借口，陷入生活中，一遍又一遍地重复这个过程)”说明有些人总是找借口，陷入循环，这是对上文内容的解释，D选项中“I see a lot of people get stuck in the same cycle.(我看到很多人陷入了同样的循环)”与之相呼应，下文句中的“repeat the process over and over again”和D选项中的“the same cycle”属于相似表达，故D选项“In my life, I see a lot of people get stuck in the same cycle.(在我的生活中，我看到很多人陷入同样的循环)”符合语境。故选D。
18．上文“To stop making excuses, you should shift the focus to your own duty.(为了停止找借口，你应该把注意力转移到自己的责任上)”说明具体停止找借口的方法，即“需要把注意力转移到你的职责上”，空处可能介绍这种方法带来的好处，E选项“Then you’ ll notice the excuses you make begin to lose their power.(然后你会发现你找的借口开始失去效力)”可以承接上文，说明当你转移注意力到自己的责任上时，你会发现借口开始失去力量，符合语境。故选E。
19．上文“Besides, you should challenge your limiting beliefs. We all have limiting beliefs that form the foundation of different types of excuses that we make.(此外，你应该挑战你的限制性信念。我们都有限制性信念，这些信念构成了我们所做的不同类型借口的基础)”说明要挑战限制性信念，C选项中“limiting beliefs in our lives(生活中的限制性信念)”与之相呼应，且C项“There are many examples of limiting beliefs in our lives.(在我们的生活中，限制性信念的例子很多)”是对上文的进一步说明，且下文内容“They show up as you tell yourself that you’ll never succeed or that certain goals are out of reach. Consider replacing the negative thoughts with more positive beliefs.(它们表现为当你告诉自己你永远不会成功，或者某些目标是遥不可及的时候。考虑用更积极的信念来替代这些消极的想法)”是对C选项“examples”的例证。故选C。
20．上文“Setting goals is one of the best ways to overcome excuses. When setting goals, it’s important to be realistic about what you want to achieve. Try breaking big dreams into specific and achievable goals.(设定目标是克服借口的最好方法之一。在设定目标时，对自己想要实现的目标保持现实的态度很重要。试着把大梦想分解成具体且可实现的目标)”说明设定目标是克服借口的好方法，要把大梦想分解成具体且可实现的目标，F选项中“your goals(你的目标)”与之相呼应，且F项“The more concrete your goals are, the less room there is for excuses.(你的目标越具体，借口的余地就越小)”进一步说明目标越具体，借口就越少，可以承接上文，其中concrete和上文specific是同义词，故F选项符合语境。故选F。

What if some annoying person show up at the door ” I felt a little frustrated. However, I didn’t go back to the supermarket to tear my note off the board, thinking no one would take it seriously. Two days passed, and I didn’t hear from anything. Then, on the third day, I got a call from a retired schoolteacher. On the fourth day, I got three more calls.
On the fifth day, I had ten people eager to be a part of the Thanksgiving dinner. There were five retired women, three retired men, a construction worker and a nurse’s assistant. Ten people are enough for the Thanksgiving dinner, so I decided that it was time to take down the note. When the Thanksgiving day came, I baked a huge turkey and everyone else contributed what they could. Although the atmosphere was a little embarrassing at first, soon everyone was laughing, talking, and having a good time. I glanced around and smiled. Once again, my house was filled with chatter and laughter.
