A Dutch museum has recovered an artwork that looks like two empty beer cans after a staff member accidentally threw it in the rubbish bin.
The work, entitled All the Good Times We Spent Together by the French artist Alexandre Lavet, appears on first glance to be two abandoned and dented (瘪的) beer tins. However, a closer look shows they are carefully hand-painted and required a lot of time and effort to create. Their artistic value was lost on a mechanic, who saw them displayed in a lift and threw them in the bin. The curator (馆长) Elisah van den Bergh returned from a short break and noticed the cans had disappeared. She recovered them from a bin bag just as they were about to be thrown out.
Froukje Budding, of the LAM museum in Lisse, western Netherlands, said artworks were often left in unusual places—hence the display in a lift. “We try to surprise visitors for all the time,” she said. “We have now put the work in a more traditional place on a plinth (底座) so it can rest after its adventure.” She stressed there were no hard feelings towards the mechanic, who had just started at the museum, stating that he was simply performing his duties.
Sietske van Zanten, the museum’s director, emphasized the museum’s mission to encourage visitors to see everyday objects in a new light. “By displaying artworks in unexpected places, we enhance this experience and keep visitors on their toes,” he added.
Budding also noted the cans were unlikely to stay on their traditional plinth for long and that they needed to think hard about a careful place to put them next.
24. Why did the mechanic throw the artwork in the rubbish bin
A. Because it stood in the way. B. Because it took much space.
C. Because it looked like real trash. D. Because it looked strange in the lift.
25. What was Budding’s attitude toward the mechanic’s behavior
A. Understanding. B. Concerned. C. Critical. D. Unforgiving.
26. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 4 mean
A. Make visitors ready for surprises. B. Remind visitors of dangers.
C. Warm visitors not to litter. D. Show visitors around the museum.
27.What might happen to the artwork in the future
A. It will be kept in a safe. B. It will be put in a selected place.
C. It will be sent back to the lift. D. It will be placed in a traditional setting.
C
Rice, one of the most consumed staple foods globally, holds a universal appeal that goes beyond cultural and geographical boundaries. This humble grain, grown in over 100 countries, is a primary food source for more than half of the world’s population.
As one of the oldest cultivated crops, rice has played a central role in shaping cooking traditions, economies, and cultures around the world. Archaeological evidence suggests that rice was first grown over 10,000 years ago in the regions of ancient China and India. It has since spread globally, becoming a necessary part of numerous cultures. The spread of rice cultivation followed ancient trade routes, reaching the Middle East, Africa and eventually Europe and the Americas. In China and India, rice has been a staple food for a thousand years, deeply embedded in both daily life and religious rituals. Rice cultivation techniques and varieties developed in these regions have significantly influenced rice agriculture globally.
Rice holds a place of great importance in Asian cuisine, serving as a main food and a cultural symbol across many countries in the region. Each Asian cuisine has developed unique ways of preparing and incorporating rice, reflecting the diverse cooking traditions and cultural practices of this vast continent !
Rice is central to Chinese meals, often served plain to complement the variety of other dishes. Special dishes like fried rice and rice porridge are also popular. In Japan,short grain rice is a key component, most famously used in sushi. Rice is also served as a side in most meals and used in dishes like onigiri( rice ball) and sake ( rice wine) .
The future of rice in cuisine continues to evolve, as chefs and home cooks alike push the boundaries of creativity, blending traditional methods with modern innovations. Yet the essence of rice, as a fundamental and unifying element of so many cooking traditions, remains unchanged. As we continue to explore the endless possibilities of this extraordinary grain, we carry with us a deeper appreciation for the role it plays in connecting us to different cultures, histories, and to each other.
28. What’s the main reason that rice is valued globally according to the text
A. Its role in changing geographical environment.
B. Its association with cultural rituals and festivals
C. Its contribution to sustainable farming practices
D. Its widespread cultivation and dietary importance.
29. Which statement best describes the role of rice in Asian cuisine
A. It is used in diverse cooking practices. B. It is primarily used in desserts.
C. It is a symbol of high social status. D. It is cooked similarly in different countries.
30. What does the further exploration of rice in cuisine focus on
A. Respecting cultural differences.
B. Cultural appreciation and identity.
C. Combining traditions with new ideas.
D. Traditional cooking methods and equipment.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why the type of rice you buy matters
B. Rice: a global grain in diverse cuisines
C. How people in different places cook rice
D. The history of rice around the world
D
Today and every day we are the targets of advertisers,fundraisers and politicians trying to persuade us to buy something, do something or think a certain way. And they’re good at it.
Over the years, they’ve learned a lot about which features to build into a communication and which psychological strings to pull at to increase its success. But by concentrating on the message itself, they’ve missed a crucial component of the process.
Research done in the last 15 years shows that best persuasion is achieved through pre-suasion—the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they even know what’s in it.
Pre-suasion works by focusing people’s attention on a selected concept, which in turn stimulates them to overvalue it over related ones. In one study, visitors to an online sofa store were greeted with images of either soft clouds or small coins in the background of its landing page. Those who saw the clouds were more likely to prefer soft, comfortable sofa s for purchase whereas those who saw the money preferred cheaper models.
Long before scientists started studying the process of pre-suasion, a few notable communicators already had an intuitive (直觉的) understanding of it.
For example, the pre-suasive strategy was employed in the late 1950s by the advertising firm Doyle Dane Bernbach to introduce the oddly shaped Volkswagen Beetle to a US market dominated by big, powerful, boat-like vehicles. The “We’re ugly but..” campaign strategically admitted to limitations in appearance before trumpeting (鼓吹) the auto’s strengths such as economy, reliability and simplicity. Credited with breaking open the US market for small cars, the ad campaign has been rated among the greatest of all time.
With considerable success, practitioners of social influence have always featured persuasive elements—great praises, emotional pull, last-chance opportunities—in their appeals. Perhaps because of that success, they’ve mostly missed an accompanying truth. For maximum impact, it’s not only what you do; it’s also what you do just before you do what you do.
32.What aspect of advertising has been commonly overlooked according to the text
A. The use of psychological strings to influence people.
B. The effort to convince people without their knowledge.
C. The choice of communication channels for more success.
D. The improvement of message contents to attract buyers.
33. Which of the following examples best illustrates the concept of pre-suasion
A. An online store trumpeting special offers.
B. A banker explaining interest rates to customers.
C. A car dealer offering discounts to potential buyers.
D. A shop playing Jingle Bells in Christmas season.
34. What can be learned about the Volkswagen Beetle ad campaign in the 1950s
A. It focused on emotional appeals.
B. It failed to highlight its strengths
C. It thoroughly changed the US small-sized car market
D. It strategically introduced an unconventional product
35. What can we infer about practitioners of social influence
A. They have been expert at applying pre-suasion.
B. They have maximized their impact with persuasion.
C. They have generally ignored the effectiveness of pre-suasion.
D. They have combined pre-suasion with persuasion effectively.

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。
We tend to think that our success is limited because of lack of money, time, and energy, but this is not necessarily true. Lack of self-worth is often the biggest roadblock on our path to living a fulfilling life. Not all of us recognize our individual worth and the contributions we make to the world. 36
It might seem natural to measure your value by your income, physical appearance, job title, or social media popularity. 37 Because these aspects of your life can change at any moment, its more useful to consider inner values such as compassion, generosity, leadership, respect, and kindness.
38 We all have a self-talk that points out our shortcomings and failures. Whenever you begin criticizing yourself, stop and pause for a minute. Consider the virtue of what this voice is telling you. Is what you hear an objective fact Is it useful and kind If the answer is no, then this criticism is not worth paying attention to.
You alone are responsible for your self-worth. Regardless of other people’s words, thoughts, and opinions about you, you can still choose how you view yourself. 39 Don’t wait for people to confirm your value. Instead, do it with your internal dialogue and your actions.
We all mess up sometimes—it’s part of being human. 40 It’s easy to extend kindness and forgiveness to others, but you have to do yourself the same favor. There’s no point in worrying about your mistakes or upsetting over the not-so-good decisions from the past. Self-compassion is about believing that you are worthy of love regardless of what you do or fail to do.
A. Don’t let your inner critic rule your thoughts.
B. What matters is what you think about yourself.
C. All these do not determine your value and self-worth.
D. But when you do, you must forgive yourself and let it go.
E. Treat yourself with the love and care that others give you.
F. Pay attention to the perceptions about where you should be.
G. Nevertheless, you can build self-worth by practicing self-care.

I whispered to myself, “A five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer.” White Cliff was really 41 for an enthusiastic painter like me. But at the 42 of going there alone, I had butterflies in my stomach. Later, I dialed my only friend Emily’s number, only to discover that she would be otherwise 43 . I sighed and dropped my head. I had really had a hard time jumping into something without 44 faces around. 45 I went outside to draw the Westons’ towering pine tree. Sitting on the stairs, I thought about the art camp and wished to feel a little 46 . But by the time I started sketching, I had convinced myself that 47 the camp was my content decision.
I carefully 48 the pine’s strong trunk straight and solid, and added the graceful branches. Once lost in my sketching, I 49 noticed the fly buzzing around me. Hence, I jumped when Mr. Weston suddenly remarked, “You’ve captured the essence of the tree’s 50 beautifully on paper.” “Thanks.” I smiled, glancing up. “If you spread out the roots near the surface, the tree could 51 sufficient water and soar even higher.” I noticed the knobby bumps (疙瘩状突起) of roots 52 out of the ground all around the tree. I’d never realized how 53 a tree’s roots stretched outward. It struck me that if I wanted to grow, I had to start 54 too.
That evening, I filled out the art camp application, ready to stretch my 55 out into new earth. I thought I am the pine.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Have you ever heard of “city bu city” (literally meaning city or not city) It’s an internet buzzword 56 (coin) by a foreign blogger named Baobaoxiong during his visit to the Great Wall in Beijing. The phrase questions 57 a place has the fashionable atmosphere of a big city.
Millions of foreigners, like Baobaoxiong, are now exploring China, and their travel vlogs
58 (go) viral online recently. This trend is partly due to the 72-and 144-hour visa-free transit (过境) policy 59 allows travelers from 54 countries to explore China for up to six days without needing a visa if they have a valid travel document 60 a connecting ticket for departure within 72 or 144 hours.
61 (aim)for high-level opening up, this policy has helped boost tourism in China. When the visa-free transit policy was first introduced in 2013, it only applied 62 seven big cities like Beijing and Shanghai and allowed just 72 hours of stay. Now, it covers 41 exit-entry ports across 19 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities (直辖市), expanding to 144 hours. China has also made it 63 (easy) for foreign visitors by improving mobile payment accessibility and the visa application process.
Seeing is believing. The policy not only brings convenience for foreign travelers but also invites them 64 (experience) everyday life in China. It’s a great chance for them to rethink Western media’s stereotypical (刻板的) 65 (describe)of China.

Last month, it was my friend Emily’s birthday, and she invited us to her house to celebrate. I’m really excited because Emily always gives me special birthday gifts, so I want to do something good in return. I decided that, instead of just buying her a gift, I’d bake (烤) her a cake. I’m not a master in the kitchen, but how hard could it be to bake a simple chocolate cake
The day before the party, I went to the store to pick up everything I needed: flour (面粉), sugar, eggs, and, of course, chocolate. I even bought a nice toy to make the cake look beautiful. I was feeling pretty confident.
When I got home, I started mixing everything together. It was going smoothly and the kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of baking. But then, disaster struck. I was rushing to get the cake finished, and in a hurry, I took the wrong bag. Without even thinking, I put in what I thought was sugar, but it was actually salt!
The cake looked perfect when it came out-golden brown with a shiny top. The smell was so amazing that I couldn’t wait to show it at the party. I imagined everyone was surprised at my baking skills and how impressed Emily would be. But little did I know, my cake was about to become the most memorable birthday cake ever.
The next day, I arrived at Emily’s party with the cake. The moment came when we cut the cake. Emily, being the birthday girl, was the first to taste the cake. She carefully cut a piece, and with a big smile, she took the first bite (咬) .

21-23 CDB 这是一篇应用文。本文是则牛津大学暑期课程的申请须知，介绍了课程设置、讲师信息及申请关键事项等信息。 21根据Courses部分的表格中的E101: How does globalization influence business Learn about the patterns and effects of trade between countries.(E101:全球化如何影响商业 了解国家间贸易的模式和影响。)可知，E101 教授国际贸易的模式和影响，即E101课程教国际贸易。故选C。 22根据Instructors部分的 Isabella Menca: She studied Economics at the University of Oxford and has a special knowledge of the commercial legal system.(伊莎贝拉门卡:她在牛津大学学习经济学，对商业法律体系有特别的了解。) 可知，Isabella Menca是商业法律方面的专家。故选D. 23根据Key facts部分的Application entrance: Submit the forms at the official website.(申请入口:在官方网站提交表格。)可知，申请人可以在官网上提交申请。故选B。 24-27 CAAB 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述荷兰某博物馆一件形似两个空啤酒罐的艺术品被误当垃圾丢弃,后经找回并重新考虑其展示位置的故事。同时介绍了博物馆在艺术品展示方面的理念。 24根据第二段The work, entitled All the Good Times We Spent Together by the French artist Alexandre Lavet, appears on first glance to be two abandoned and dented (瘪的) beer tins. However, a closer look shows they are carefully hand-painted and required a lot of time and effort to create. Their artistic value was lost on a mechanic, who saw them displayed in a lift and threw them in the bin. (这件由法国艺术家亚历山大●拉韦(Alexandre Lavet)创作名为《我们一起度过的美好时光》的作品，乍看像是两个被丢弃且瘪了的啤酒罐。然而，仔细观察就会发现，它们是精心手绘而成的，创作过程耗费了大量的时间和精力。但一名机械师却没有意识到它们的艺术价值，他看到这些作品在电梯里展出，便把它们扔进了垃圾桶)机械师把艺术品扔进垃圾桶是因为它看起来像真正的垃圾。故选C项。 25根据第三段Froukje Budding, of the LAM museum in Lisse, western Netherlands, said artworks were often left in unusual places—hence the display in a lift. (来自荷兰西部利斯镇拉穆博物馆(LAM museum)的弗鲁克耶●巴丁(Froukje Budding)表示，艺术品常常被放置在不寻常的地方—这就是它被放在电梯里展出的原因。)和本段She stressed there were no hard feelings towards the mechanic，who had just started at the museum, stating that he was simply performing his duties. 可知，Budding 强调对刚到博物馆工作的机械师没有不满情绪，并且表示他只是在履行自己的工作职责，即他看到这些作品在电梯里展出，便把它们扔进了垃圾桶。由此可以推断出，Budding对机械师的行为持理解的态度。故选A项。 26根据第四段Sietske van Zanten, the museum’s director, emphasized the museum’s mission to encourage visitors to see everyday objects in a new light. “By displaying artworks in unexpected places, we enhance this experience and keep visitors on their toes,” he added.(博物馆馆长西茨克●范赞滕(Sietske van Zanten)强调了博物馆的使命，即鼓励游客以新的视角看待日常物品。“通过在意想不到的地方展示艺术品，我们增强了这种体验，并让游客保持警觉，”他补充道)可知，博物馆馆长Sietske van Zanten强调博物馆的使命是鼓励游客以新的视角看待日常物品，通过在意想不到的地方展示艺术品来增强这种体验。“keep visitors on their toes”所在句子与前文提到的“displaying artworks in unexpected places (在意想不到的地方展示艺术品) “相呼应，结合语境可知，该短语意思是让游客为可能出现的惊喜做好准备，时刻保持期待和警觉。A.Understanding理解的，明白的; B.Concerned担心的; C.Critical批判的; D.Unforgiving不能原谅的。故选A 27根据最后一段Budding also noted the cans were unlikely to stay on their traditional plinth for long and that they needed to think hard about a careful place to put them next 可知，Budding 指出这些啤酒罐不太可能长时间放在传统的底座上，并且他们需要认真思考接下来把它们放置在一个合适的地方。由此可以推断出，这件艺术品未来可能会被放置在一个经过精心挑选的地方。故选B项。 28-31 DACB 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了稻米在全球饮食文化中的重要地位。 28根据第一段Rice, one of the most consumed staple foods globally, holds a universal appeal that goes beyond cultural and geographical boundaries. This humble grain, grown in over 100 countries, is a primary food source for more than half of the world’s population.(稻米是全球消费最多的主食之一，具有超越文化和地理界限的普遍吸引力。这种不起眼的谷物在100多个国家种植，是世界上一半以上人口的主要食物来源。) 可知，稻米在全球范围内受到重视的主要原因是它的广泛种植和饮食重要性。故选D。 29根据第三段Rice holds a place of great importance in Asian cuisine, serving as a main food and a cultural symbol across many countries in the region. Each Asian cuisine has developed unique ways of preparing and incorporating rice, reflecting the diverse cooking traditions and cultural practices of this vast continent.(稻米在亚洲菜系中占有重要地位，是该地区许多国家的主要食物和文化象征。每种亚洲菜系都发展出了独特的稻米烹饪和融入方式，反映了这片广袤大陆多样的烹饪传统和文化习俗。)可知，稻米在亚洲菜系中被用于多种烹饪实践中。故选A。 30根据最后一段The future of rice in cuisine continues to evolve, as chefs and home cooks alike push the boundaries of creativity, blending traditional methods with modern innovations.(稻米在烹饪中的未来不断发展，厨师和家庭厨师都在推动创造力的边界，将传统方法与现代创新相结合。)可知，对稻米在烹饪中的进一步探索集中在将传统与新思想相结合方面。故选C。 31通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了稻米在全球饮食文化中的重要地位，它作为主食在全球范围内被广泛种植和消费，并在亚洲菜系中扮演着重要角色，且其烹饪方式不断创新和发展。所以B项稻米：多样菜系中的全球谷物这个标题最能概括文章的主要内容，适合作文章标题。 32-35 BDDC 文章开头提到广告商、筹款人和政客擅长说服人们，但他们在过程中忽略了一个关键部分。接着引入“预说服”的概念，即在人们知道信息内容之前就让他们同意。然后通过在线沙发店的例子和大众甲壳虫的广告案例来说明预说服的应用。最后指出社会影响从业者虽然成功，但可能忽视了预说服的重要性。 32根据文章第二段But by concentrating on the message itself, they’ve missed a crucial component of the process.这里提到他们过于关注信息本身，而忽略了过程中的关键部分。而第三段提到预说服是在人们知道信息内容之前就安排他们同意，因此被忽视的是预说服，即在传递信息之前的准备工作。选项B中的effort to convince people without their knowledge符合预说服的定义，即在他们不知情的情况下预先影响。 33预说服的定义是预先引导注意力到某个概念，从而影响后续决策。文章中举的例子是沙发店用云或硬币图片影响购买倾向，以及大众广告先承认外观不足再强调优点。选项D中，圣诞季播放相关音乐，可能在潜意识里让顾客联想到节日购物，从而影响他们的购买行为，属于预先设置氛围，符合预说服。 34根据文章第六段，广告活动strategically admitted to limitations in appearance before trumpeting the auto’s strengths即先承认外观不足，再强调经济性等优点，并且成功打开了美国小型车市场。选项D提到策略性引入非传统产品，符合甲壳虫在大型车主导的市场中推出小型车的描述。 35文章最后一段提到从业者虽然成功运用了说服元素（如赞美、情感吸引），但mostly missed an accompanying truth即忽略了预说服的重要性。因此选项C正确，即他们忽视了预说服的效果。

36-40 GCABD 文章主要讨论了自我价值感对于实现充实生活的重要性，并反驳了人们常因金钱、时间和精力的缺乏而认为自己无法成功的观点。 36根据上文Not all of us recognize our individual worth and the contributions we make to the world.(并非我们所有人都能认识到自己的个人价值以及我们对世界所做出的贡献。)可知，上文提到很多人没有意识到自己的个人价值和对世界的贡献。选项G: Nevertheless, you can build self-worth by practicing self-care.(然而，你可以通过自我关怀来建立自我价值感。) 与上文形成转折，引出下文关于如何建立自我价值的内容。故选G。 37根据上文It might seem natural to measure your value by your income, physical appearance, job title, or social media popularity.(通过你的收入、外貌、职位头衔或社交媒体上的受欢迎程度来衡量自己的价值，这似乎是很自然的事情。)可知，上文提到人们常通过收入、外貌等衡量自身价值。选项C: All these do not determine your value and self-worth.(但所有这些都不能决定你的价值和自我价值。)与上文形成转折，指出这些不能决定自身价值。选项中All these指的是上文提到的your income, physical appearance, job title, or social media popularity，符合语境。故选C. 38根据下文We all have a self-talk that points out our shortcomings and failures. Whenever you begin criticizing yourself, stop and pause for a minute. Consider the virtue of what this voice is telling you. Is what you hear an objective fact Is it useful and kind If the answer is no, then this criticism is not worth paying attention to.(我们都有一个自我对话的声音，会指出我们的缺点和失败。每当你开始批评自己时，停下来，停顿一分钟。思考一下这个声音告诉你的东西的价值所在。你听到的是客观事实吗 它有用吗，是善意的吗 如果答案是否定的，那么这种批评就不值得关注。)可知，下文提到我们内心会有指出缺点和失败的声音，当开始批评自己时要停下来思考。选项A: Don’ t let your inner critic rule your thoughts(不要让你内心的批评之声主宰你的思想。)与下文内容相符，指出我们不能让内心的批评之声主宰自己的思想，要停下来思考。故选A。 39根据上文Regardless of other people’s words, thoughts, and opinions about you, you can still choose how you view yourself.(不管别人对你有怎样的言语、想法和观点，你仍然可以选择如何看待自己。)可知，上文说不管别人的想法，我们应该选择如何看待自己。选项B: What matters is what you think about yourself.(重要的是你对自己的看法。) 延续上文内容,指出自己对自己的看法才是最重要的。故选B. 40根据上文We all mess up sometimes—it’s part of being human.(我们有时都会犯错—这是人之常情。) 可知，我们犯错是人之常情。而空后It’s easy to extend kindness and forgiveness to others, but you have to do yourself the same favor.(向他人表达善意和宽容很容易，但你也必须同样善待自己。)说对自己也要像对别人一样给予善意和原谅。选项D: But when you do, you must forgive yourself and let it go.(但当你犯错时，你必须原谅自己,然后放下。)与上下文内容相符，指出犯错是正常的，我们应该原谅自己。故选D。

第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分)
第一节 (满分15分)
Dear fellow students, Recently, we have noticed that an increasing number of students are relying too much on AI tools to complete their assignments, which has led to some negative consequences, such as a decline in academic integrity and critical thinking. To address the issues, we should use AI as a supplementary tool to enhance learning rather than a replacement for our own efforts, which may violate academic integrity principles fundamental to our education and result in the lack of originality and creativity. Additionally, it is of great significance for us to critically evaluate the information generated by AI rather than accept it blindly. Otherwise, we might be deprived of the ability to think critically. Let’s make a conscious effort to use artificial intelligence in a reasonable and responsible manner. By doing so, we can make the most of AI technology while maintaining our academic integrity and personal growth. Your effort counts! The Students’ Union

But then her expression changed. Trying hard not to laugh, she looked at me, with her eyes widening in disbelief, “Are you sure this is a cake ” I immediately took a bite myself. The moment the flavor hit my tongue, my heart dropped. I know something had gone terribly wrong and the entire room went dead silent. “I-uh-I think I used salt instead of sugar! ” I stammered, with my face turning bright red. Then as if planned, everyone burst out laughing. Emily, however, quickly regained her composure (镇定) . “Thank you so much for making this cake, which made this birthday the most memorable one.” She winked at me, trying to make me feel better. I smiled, feeling grateful for her kindness and understanding. At that point, everyone who had been eagerly waiting for the cake rushed to try the salty surprise, all full of curiosity and excitement. I was soon involved in the cheerful atmosphere, realizing that true friendship is about accepting and supporting each other, even when things go wrong.
