第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I recently went on my first overseas vacation to Greece. I was with my in-laws and my wife, and naturally, we went to restaurants whenever we were hungry. Having lived in North America for my entire life, I had certain expectations of restaurants: you go in, peruse the menu, place your order, get your food, eat it, pay, tip, and go on your way. I knew that European countries did not generally participate in tipping culture, but I didn't understand how that fundamentally altered the entire business interaction.
Whenever we finished eating, we would relax with the dishes that we were very obviously done with, chat for a bit, and wait for the bill. Wait, wait, and wait!
This happened at every restaurant we went to: After we were done and ready to pay and leave, we would end up waiting twenty or thirty minutes to actually get the bill and pay. We absolutely could not figure it out! The servers seemed to be so attentive to everyone else in the restaurants, the locals, but for the obvious group of tourists, we were just left to wait, wait, and wait! It was actually getting frustrating!
I finally figured it out on the last day of our trip, watching the locals. When the locals finished their meals, they would not pay immediately. Instead, they would sit and chat, and just sort of… hang out. They would pay when they were ready to leave, and no one would hustle (催促) them out of there. Because the servers weren't working for pennies and dependent on tips, they had no reason to move people along. Everyone was allowed to move at their own pace, pay when they were ready to pay, and leave when they were ready to leave. The servers would expect the customers to approach or signal them that they were done, rather than checking every few minutes to get things moving. What a novel experience! I wish we had figured it out sooner.

A. For their food. B. For their bill. C. For the servers. D. For a chat.

C. By waiting for a signal. D. By checking every few minutes.
4.What did the author learn on the last day
A. To tip the servers. B. To wait for a table.
C. Local dining customs. D. How to signal to the servers.
B
After I broke up with my husband, I remember finding out I wasn't going to get child support. We don't have kids, but I still wanted child support, you know I wanted inner child support. And so I was crying and crying and hugging my mom and she hugged me back and said,"Sarah,don't sweat the small things. And guess what It's all small things." And I was like, "Mom — that's the sign above the couch." I turned around and pointed it out to her. "Did you just read that to me " That's when I realized that my mom had just been reading the decorations around the house to give me advice.
Once I called her and said I didn't know if I'd ever get married again. She said, "Sarah,you have to dance like no one is watching." And I said,"Mom, are you in theguest bathroom right now " She said no but then she began to talk about something about footsteps in the sand, and I knew that's the framed print above the towel holder!
When I called my mom to tell her that I'd lost the right to pet my sweet dog, Stella, she said, "Sarah,when the tough gets going — let me call you back, I'm in the car." I'm pretty sure she was trying to read a bumper sticker (保险杠贴纸).
Whether the saying was sitting right in front of her in the form of a book, or a plaque (匾额), or a bumper sticker,or not, my mom has always been fond of sayings.
For my mom's birthday the next year, I got her a plaque that says "It is what it is." I got it as a joke because it's the most overused phrase in the book. I thought she'd laugh. Instead, she loved it. She hungit above the mirror in the hallway next to the powder room. At least now when I call her and she says,"It is what it is," I know exactly where she's sitting.

Memory loss is a common part of aging. A decade-long study of older adults in China has found that a healthy lifestyle is linked to slower memory loss even when people carry a risky gene for Alzheimer's (阿尔茨海默病). Researchers from China's National Center for Neurological Disorders and other medical organizations followed 29,000 people aged at least 60 years for up to 10 years. Forty-nine percent of the participants were women.
At the beginning of the study in 2009, the researchers tested the participants' memory function with the Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT 听觉词语学习测验). They were also tested for the APOE gene, the most common gene linked with Alzheimer's. Around 20 percent of the participants were carriers of the risk gene. The participants received tests in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2019. In the follow-ups, six healthy lifestyle factors were analyzed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive activity, non-smoking and never drinking alcohol.
The results showed that the AVLT scores continuously decreased over the 10 years. But the highest test scores were in the favorable group and the lowest in the group where people usually have an unhealthy lifestyle. The participants with favorable and average lifestyles, even when they were APOE carriers, had a slower rate of memory loss than the participants with unhealthy lifestyles.
The researchers said that they studied the contribution of each lifestyle factor and their combined effects in a large sample size over an entire 10 years and offered important information to protect older adults against memory loss.
The results about the APOE carriers also provide a positive outlook that healthy lifestyle risks are related to a slower rate of memory loss, regardless of the genetic risk.
12.How many women participants participated in the study
A. About 14000. B. About 13000. C. About 15000. D. About 12000.
13.According to the study, the following are all lifestyles linked to slower memory loss EXCEPT________.
A. Regular physical exercise B. Active cognitive activity
C. Smoking and drinking alcohol D. Active social contact
14.What do the underlined words "favorable group" in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The group of people with a healthy lifestyle.
B. The group of people with unhealthy lifestyle.
C. The group of people carrying APOE gene.
D. The group of people without APOE gene.
15.What is the text mainly about
A. An unbelievable study.
B. The importance of a healthy lifestyle.
C. Memory loss is a common part of aging.
D. The healthier your lifestyle, the slower your memory loss.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A new art form that was distinctly American arose during the 1890s: the comic strip (连环漫画). To heighten its comedic effects, a sleeping character was sometimes needed. 16._________ How to visually convince the audience that a character was asleep, instead of merely lying down
Visually and dynamically — crucial aspects for comics — portraying silent stillness isn't easy. To solve this challenge, artists experimented with various techniques: facial expressions, sleeping poses, and even sounds like snoring (鼾声). 17._________
To translate the noisy act of snoring into visual language, early attempts relied on a mix of creative representations. These often took the form of letter combinations resembling snoring, such as zzggrrhh or z-z-c-r-r-k-k-k-k, or symbolic elements like stars and musical notes. 18._________ Its first documented use dates back to 1903 in Rudolph Dirks' comic Katzenjammer Kids, where a snoring captain sleeps peacefully in his hammock (吊床), letting out Zzz. 19._________ In 1918, the American Dialect Society defined "z-z-z" as the "sound of whispering or snoring," and by the 1940s, the phrase catch some Zs entered popular usage, which is a clear proof of Zzz's widespread acceptance as the universal marker of sleep.
20._________ German, for example, uses chrr, and Japanese uses characters that sound like guu-guu. Chinese, meanwhile uses hu-lu. Though the regional onomatopoeia (拟声词) varies, Zzz has made its mark; it's recognized internationally as a symbol for sleep.
A.It most likely originated in media fields.
B.This failed to achieve the expected effect.
C.Further evidence solidified its dominance.
D.The final solution was to highlight the sound.
E.But comic artists ran into an interesting difficulty.
F.Eventually, one representation stuck: the letters Zzz.
G.Many languages have their own representations besides Zzz.

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。
It had been a challenging but rewarding term, filled with hard work and a thirst for knowledge. As I handed in my final assignment and saw it was graded A, a sense of pride and satisfaction washed over me. Little did I know that my accomplishments had not gone unnoticed by my family, who had been closely observing my progress.
On the first day of summer vacation, my mother told me excitedly that we would pay a visit to Marco the next day to cheer for my progress in academic study. When I got the good news, I felt on top of the world and could not hold back my high spirits. As I lay in bed that night, a mix of anticipation and delight welled up in my heart, and I slid into a dream-filled sleep, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the coming adventure.
After we arrived in Marco, my parents said that we would first visit the Marco tower. Marco Tower, built in the late 19th century, is a historic landmark that showcases the rich architectural heritage of the city. It is also considered one of the top tourist attractions in the region. Upon hearing the inspiring news, I bounced up and down with joy. But then I felt a bit uneasy because of my fear of heights.
Inside the lift, my palms grew sweaty as the anxiety consumed me. I paced back and forth in the tower lift, unsure of whether I would have the courage. After the lift reached the specific floor, I gasped (倒吸一口气) in horror. The floor here was made of glass, so one could appreciate the height of the tower and take a real adventure. Seeing my family both take out their phones to shoot the grand views, I felt under pressure. Then my mother smiled at me and said delightedly, "Just take it easy and you can do it."

I'm confident that with your enthusiasm and effort, you will deliver an outstanding speech. Wishing you all the best in the competition.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
答案：
I didn't know whether to stay or not. The thought of exploring new places, and creating lasting memories with my family was undeniably inviting However, it was obviously too challenging for me to step on that glass. As I weighed the options in my mind, my mother's words echoed in my ears, reminding me of the courage and confidence I used to have. With a deep breath, I made up my mind that I would seize this opportunity and embrace the adventure that awaited me in Marco.
I was totally struck by the height of the tower. My eyes were immediately drawn to the magnificent structure that stood tall in the city center-Marco Tower. Its charm was without equal, its soaring height dominating the skyline. I couldn't help feeling a mixture of awe and admiration. I reminded myself of the encouragement from my loved ones. As we left the tower, I expressed my gratitude to my mother for her consistent support. She taught me an important lesson that day — with a little encouragement, we can achieve extraordinary things.

第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I recently went on my first overseas vacation to Greece. I was with my in-laws and my wife, and naturally, we went to restaurants whenever we were hungry. Having lived in North America for my entire life, I had certain expectations of restaurants: you go in, peruse the menu, place your order, get your food, eat it, pay, tip, and go on your way. I knew that European countries did not generally participate in tipping culture, but I didn't understand how that fundamentally altered the entire business interaction.
Whenever we finished eating, we would relax with the dishes that we were very obviously done with, chat for a bit, and wait for the bill. Wait, wait, and wait!
This happened at every restaurant we went to: After we were done and ready to pay and leave, we would end up waiting twenty or thirty minutes to actually get the bill and pay. We absolutely could not figure it out! The servers seemed to be so attentive to everyone else in the restaurants, the locals, but for the obvious group of tourists, we were just left to wait, wait, and wait! It was actually getting frustrating!
I finally figured it out on the last day of our trip, watching the locals. When the locals finished their meals, they would not pay immediately. Instead, they would sit and chat, and just sort of… hang out. They would pay when they were ready to leave, and no one would hustle (催促) them out of there. Because the servers weren't working for pennies and dependent on tips, they had no reason to move people along. Everyone was allowed to move at their own pace, pay when they were ready to pay, and leave when they were ready to leave. The servers would expect the customers to approach or signal them that they were done, rather than checking every few minutes to get things moving. What a novel experience! I wish we had figured it out sooner.
1.Why did the author wait
A. For their food. B. For their bill. C. For the servers. D. For a chat.
2.What made the author upset

After I broke up with my husband, I remember finding out I wasn't going to get child support. We don't have kids, but I still wanted child support, you know I wanted inner child support. And so I was crying and crying and hugging my mom and she hugged me back and said,"Sarah,don't sweat the small things. And guess what It's all small things." And I was like, "Mom — that's the sign above the couch." I turned around and pointed it out to her. "Did you just read that to me " That's when I realized that my mom had just been reading the decorations around the house to give me advice.
Once I called her and said I didn't know if I'd ever get married again. She said, "Sarah,you have to dance like no one is watching." And I said,"Mom, are you in theguest bathroom right now " She said no but then she began to talk about something about footsteps in the sand, and I knew that's the framed print above the towel holder!
When I called my mom to tell her that I'd lost the right to pet my sweet dog, Stella, she said, "Sarah,when the tough gets going — let me call you back, I'm in the car." I'm pretty sure she was trying to read a bumper sticker (保险杠贴纸).
Whether the saying was sitting right in front of her in the form of a book, or a plaque (匾额), or a bumper sticker,or not, my mom has always been fond of sayings.
For my mom's birthday the next year, I got her a plaque that says "It is what it is." I got it as a joke because it's the most overused phrase in the book. I thought she'd laugh. Instead, she loved it. She hungit above the mirror in the hallway next to the powder room. At least now when I call her and she says,"It is what it is," I know exactly where she's sitting.

Memory loss is a common part of aging. A decade-long study of older adults in China has found that a healthy lifestyle is linked to slower memory loss even when people carry a risky gene for Alzheimer's (阿尔茨海默病). Researchers from China's National Center for Neurological Disorders and other medical organizations followed 29,000 people aged at least 60 years for up to 10 years. Forty-nine percent of the participants were women.
At the beginning of the study in 2009, the researchers tested the participants' memory function with the Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT 听觉词语学习测验). They were also tested for the APOE gene, the most common gene linked with Alzheimer's. Around 20 percent of the participants were carriers of the risk gene. The participants received tests in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2019. In the follow-ups, six healthy lifestyle factors were analyzed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive activity, non-smoking and never drinking alcohol.
The results showed that the AVLT scores continuously decreased over the 10 years. But the highest test scores were in the favorable group and the lowest in the group where people usually have an unhealthy lifestyle. The participants with favorable and average lifestyles, even when they were APOE carriers, had a slower rate of memory loss than the participants with unhealthy lifestyles.
The researchers said that they studied the contribution of each lifestyle factor and their combined effects in a large sample size over an entire 10 years and offered important information to protect older adults against memory loss.
The results about the APOE carriers also provide a positive outlook that healthy lifestyle risks are related to a slower rate of memory loss, regardless of the genetic risk.
12.How many women participants participated in the study
A. About 14000. B. About 13000. C. About 15000. D. About 12000.
13.According to the study, the following are all lifestyles linked to slower memory loss EXCEPT________.
A. Regular physical exercise B. Active cognitive activity
C. Smoking and drinking alcohol D. Active social contact
14.What do the underlined words "favorable group" in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The group of people with a healthy lifestyle.
B. The group of people with unhealthy lifestyle.
C. The group of people carrying APOE gene.
D. The group of people without APOE gene.
15.What is the text mainly about
A. An unbelievable study.
B. The importance of a healthy lifestyle.
C. Memory loss is a common part of aging.
D. The healthier your lifestyle, the slower your memory loss.

A new art form that was distinctly American arose during the 1890s: the comic strip (连环漫画). To heighten its comedic effects, a sleeping character was sometimes needed. 16._________ How to visually convince the audience that a character was asleep, instead of merely lying down
Visually and dynamically — crucial aspects for comics — portraying silent stillness isn't easy. To solve this challenge, artists experimented with various techniques: facial expressions, sleeping poses, and even sounds like snoring (鼾声). 17._________
To translate the noisy act of snoring into visual language, early attempts relied on a mix of creative representations. These often took the form of letter combinations resembling snoring, such as zzggrrhh or z-z-c-r-r-k-k-k-k, or symbolic elements like stars and musical notes. 18._________ Its first documented use dates back to 1903 in Rudolph Dirks' comic Katzenjammer Kids, where a snoring captain sleeps peacefully in his hammock (吊床), letting out Zzz. 19._________ In 1918, the American Dialect Society defined "z-z-z" as the "sound of whispering or snoring," and by the 1940s, the phrase catch some Zs entered popular usage, which is a clear proof of Zzz's widespread acceptance as the universal marker of sleep.
20._________ German, for example, uses chrr, and Japanese uses characters that sound like guu-guu. Chinese, meanwhile uses hu-lu. Though the regional onomatopoeia (拟声词) varies, Zzz has made its mark; it's recognized internationally as a symbol for sleep.
A.It most likely originated in media fields.
B.This failed to achieve the expected effect.
C.Further evidence solidified its dominance.
D.The final solution was to highlight the sound.
E.But comic artists ran into an interesting difficulty.
F.Eventually, one representation stuck: the letters Zzz.
G.Many languages have their own representations besides Zzz.

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。
It had been a challenging but rewarding term, filled with hard work and a thirst for knowledge. As I handed in my final assignment and saw it was graded A, a sense of pride and satisfaction washed over me. Little did I know that my accomplishments had not gone unnoticed by my family, who had been closely observing my progress.
On the first day of summer vacation, my mother told me excitedly that we would pay a visit to Marco the next day to cheer for my progress in academic study. When I got the good news, I felt on top of the world and could not hold back my high spirits. As I lay in bed that night, a mix of anticipation and delight welled up in my heart, and I slid into a dream-filled sleep, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the coming adventure.
After we arrived in Marco, my parents said that we would first visit the Marco tower. Marco Tower, built in the late 19th century, is a historic landmark that showcases the rich architectural heritage of the city. It is also considered one of the top tourist attractions in the region. Upon hearing the inspiring news, I bounced up and down with joy. But then I felt a bit uneasy because of my fear of heights.
Inside the lift, my palms grew sweaty as the anxiety consumed me. I paced back and forth in the tower lift, unsure of whether I would have the courage. After the lift reached the specific floor, I gasped (倒吸一口气) in horror. The floor here was made of glass, so one could appreciate the height of the tower and take a real adventure. Seeing my family both take out their phones to shoot the grand views, I felt under pressure. Then my mother smiled at me and said delightedly, "Just take it easy and you can do it."

第二节
答案：
I didn't know whether to stay or not. The thought of exploring new places, and creating lasting memories with my family was undeniably inviting However, it was obviously too challenging for me to step on that glass. As I weighed the options in my mind, my mother's words echoed in my ears, reminding me of the courage and confidence I used to have. With a deep breath, I made up my mind that I would seize this opportunity and embrace the adventure that awaited me in Marco.
I was totally struck by the height of the tower. My eyes were immediately drawn to the magnificent structure that stood tall in the city center-Marco Tower. Its charm was without equal, its soaring height dominating the skyline. I couldn't help feeling a mixture of awe and admiration. I reminded myself of the encouragement from my loved ones. As we left the tower, I expressed my gratitude to my mother for her consistent support. She taught me an important lesson that day — with a little encouragement, we can achieve extraordinary things.
