At 12, my father decided to take me a trip to France. I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable attractions in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city.
We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our understanding of what is honestly a good subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English.
We reached the end of the line and felt frightened when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came up to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then got on it with us.
Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer (换乘) and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and shook our hands gently at the stop. Then with his quiet way, he got on the train to return the way he had come.
What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to make them change their minds with this story.
24．What happened to the author and his family on the train
A．They had a quarrel about where to go first.
B．They found it hard to live in the countryside.
C．They couldn’t understand the signs of the train.
D．They failed to get off the train at the right time.
25．How did the man help the author and his family
A．By paying for their train tickets. B．By showing them the return way.
C.By inviting them to travel together. D.By leading them to where they wanted to be.
26．What impressed the writer most about the old man
A．His kindness. B．His honesty. C．His gentleness. D．His happiness.
27．What’s the purpose of the author’s writing the passage
A.To explain an unexpected problem.
B.To list the unbelievable attractions in Paris.
C.To share an unforgettable foreign experience.
D.To show the importance of learning a foreign language.

Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts.
Honey is the only food product that humans cat that is made by an insect. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品).
A single pound of honey may require a beehive of up to 60,000 bees to visit two million flowers. No wonder some people call it liquid gold! Although amber-colored clover honey tends to be most common, honey comes in a variety of shades and flavors, depending on the flowers that the bees gather nectar (花蜜) from.
Honey has been used throughout history in a number of ways. One of the most remarkable things about it is that it never goes bad. It may crystallize, meaning that it becomes solid in parts, but simply warming it slightly will melt the crystals and return the honey to its liquid form.
No one knows exactly how long honey has been used by humans, but Spanish cave paintings dated at 7,000BC show early evidence of beckeeping. Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power!
Besides its many uses as a sweetener, honey has long been used as a medicinal remedy (疗法). Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. Honey is also an effective remedy to relieve a painful throat. It has even been found to be as effective in easing coughs in children.
The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of honey.
28．According to the passage, what makes honey unique among the foods that humans eat
A．Its various shades. B．Its natural creation.
C．Its delightful sweetness. D．Its remarkable history.
29．Why does the author mention the honey in the Egyptian pyramids
A．To illustrate that it never goes bad. B．To show the cleverness of Egyptians.
C．To compare it with the honey in Spain. D．To inform that it originates from Egypt.
30．What is one of the medicinal uses of honey
A．Promoting bacterial growth. B．Curing throat pain.
C．Preventing infection in wounds. D．Resisting common colds.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature B．Honey: a Timeless Treasure
C．Honey: a Natural Medicinal Remedy D．Honey: a Common Sweetener
D
The standard public health threats are all-too familiar: Smoking. High blood pressure. Cancer. But a new government advisory made headlines in 2023 by adding an unexpected major player. Loneliness, stated the report from Vivek Murthy, is a widely underrecognized U.S. health crisis. Lonely people, as Murthy’s report warns, run the same death-rate risk as people who smoke 15 cigarettes a day.
Maybe it’s hard to understand how a lack of companionship could be as threatening as an addiction. But humans are so biologically related to be social that isolation (孤独) causes surprising harm on our systems. People who lack social support have a 29 percent higher risk of heart disease, a 32 percent higher risk of stroke, and a 26 to 29 percent higher risk of premature death, according to the report.
Scientists now know that loneliness can cause many health problems. That may be because ancestral humans thrived in supportive communities—and anything less can set off a biochemical stress response. “Our brains function more efficiently when we are with others,” says Julianne.
Holt-Lunstad, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Brigham Young University. In multiple studies, the stress of aloneness has been linked to higher levels of inflammation (发炎) in the body. When this inflammation persists, the resulting cellular damage can lead to illnesses like Alzheimer’s.
Since loneliness is considered as a personal failure, it’s easy to assume people should just try to handle it on their own. But in reality, many of the factors that promote social isolation are structural ones. “It could be workplace policies that don’t allow flexibility to develop personal relationships,” Holt-Lunstad says. “It might be busy or unsafe streets that are barriers to getting to know your neighbors.”
The solutions Murthy and Holt-Lunstad propose aren’t all individual lifestyle changes. “We recommend investing in social public facilities to help build connections in communities,”Holt-Lunstad says. That could mean increasing support for civil centre like volunteer programs, redesigning public spaces to encourage gatherings, or changing digital spaces in ways that promote bonding.
32．Why does Murthy mention people who smoke heavily in the report
A．To introduce a health crisis.
B．To show the harm of loneliness.
C. To reveal high death-rate of cancer.
D. To discuss the difficulty of giving up smoking.
33．How does the author support the findings in paragraph 2
A．By listing health threats. B．By making comparisons.
C．By providing statistics. D．By analyzing biological features.
34．What does the underlined word “thrived” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．participated voluntarily B．lived healthily
C．remained stable D．got desperate
35．Which measure might Holt-Lunstad approve of as a solution
A．Setting up chat benches in parks.
B．Removing road barriers in busy streets.
C．Collecting users’ preference in digital spaces.
D．Investing in more public fire-fighting equipment.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The average American generates five pounds of trash per day, according to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Some of it gets recycled but most of it ends up in landfills. 36
Do a trash examination. Check what you' re throwing away by writing a list of the trash you produce. 37 You might write “used wipes and paper towels” under “nursery” or “food waste and metal cans” under “cooking”. This will help you grasp the extent of the trash you create and find ways to cut it,
Save what you can. See if there's anything you can save before throwing it in the trash. Maybe you can mend an old pair of jeans instead of buying a new pair. Or maybe you can cut up old T-shirts into rag. 38 If you have a bunch of overripe bananas, put it in the freezer to make banana bread later.
Rely less on pre-packaged foods. Often, food comes in wasteful packaging. Usually, some drinks come in plastic containers that may not be easy to recycle. So source your food in ways that don't require you to get it from a package. 39 Instead of buying oat milk in a non-recyclable container, make it at home and store it in a jar, removing the packaging waste.
40 Once you start noticing how much trash you produce at home, you' ll start to cut down on trash elsewhere. Bring your own reusable fork to a restaurant that uses single-use plastic tools, Or ask the waiter in a coffee bar to fill up your coffee mug instead of a paper cup.
A．Cut down on rubbish in your daily life.
B．That means making some of your own food.
C．Look for ways to cut waste outside the home.
D．Organize your list by the rooms in your house or by activity.
E．Besides, think about how you can creatively save your leftovers.
F．By doing so you can make the rooms in your house clean and tidy.
G．Fortunately, you can live a low-waste lifestyle by redesigning your behavior.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。
The Chinese idiomatic term tieqiubiao, or “putting on autumn fat”, means gaining a little weight in early autumn by eating meals rich 56 protein and fat, including stewed meats, dumplings and nuts.
Since ancient times, people 57 (measure) their weight at lixia, one of the 24 solar terms that marks the beginning of summer, and compared it to their weight at liqiu, the beginning of autumn. This 58 (compare) helps them figure out how much weight they’ve lost during the hot months, hoping to gain sufficient weight 59 (weather) the upcoming cold season.
This autumn, however, many are choosing to depart from tradition and instead shaking off the extra weight by eating what 60 (refer) to as qingshi, or literally, “light food.”
“I think it’s 61 post-Olympic phenomenon. After you spent the summer 62 (watch) those well-shaped athletes on TV, you tend to reflect on your diet at midnight,” Li Xinwei, a college student in Beijing, told Beijing Review.
Li’s words reflect a broader trend 63 (influence) by the recent Paris Olympic Games, 64 has encouraged interest in athletes’ light food diets on social media platforms. This shift highlights a growing awareness of nutrition and body image among younger generations in China. As young people 65 (active) favor lighter foods, they are also contributing to the growth of the healthy food economy.

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 was nominated (提名) for our school’s debate team. I jumped at the chance. When I got home that day, I began to fill out the application form, trying hard to prove how I met all the team’s criteria: strong communication skills, teamwork, and a good understanding of current events.
The next day, I handed in my application and waited with eagerness. I was on tenterhooks (如坐针毡) , anticipation building up with each tick of the clock.
Two weeks went by, and I received a letter from the school about the debate team, which began with “I’m sorry to…”. As soon as the school bus let me off that afternoon, I raced into the house. My mother was typing at the computer.
“Mom,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper, “I didn’t make the debate team.”
She looked up, a smile playing on her lips, thinking I was joking, and playfully reached out to high-five me. But the tears in my eyes told a different story.
“No, really, I wasn’t picked,” I told her, handing her the letter.
Her smile faded, replaced by a look of genuine concern. “Oh, sweetheart, I’m sorry,” she said, surprised. “There must be some mistake.” She called the debate team advisor, but he confirmed there were no mistakes and the decision was final. Hearing that, I broke down and burst out crying.
The rejection stung (刺痛) me, especially when I saw friends celebrating their acceptance. I felt cheated, questioning the fairness of the process. In my view, some selected didn’t deserve it as much as I did. Bitterness crept (潜入) into my words as I complained.
“I’m the best fit for the team,” I protested.
“See, Jenny, complaining won’t get you on the team.” Mom gave me a serious look.
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。
I stared at Mom and listened eagerly.

Dear Linda,
I’m delighted to share with you an exciting initiative we’ve launched at our school—“Greenery in Every Classroom.”
The project kicked off with each class selecting a variety of plants to cultivate. We began with a special planting session where students enthusiastically potted seeds and saplings. The subsequent weeks were filled with a shared responsibility as we watered our tiny green friends.This hands-on experience with nature has not only brightened our classrooms but also sparked a genuine interest in botany and environmental conservation. The initiative has been met with widespread enthusiasm and even made the headlines in the local newspaper.
Yours,
Li Hua

I stared at Mom and listened eagerly. She shared her own stories of failure and disappointment and how she turned them into opportunities for growth. “Every rejection is a lesson,” she said. With her guidance, I spent the next three months improving my skills. I practiced debates, read extensively to stay updated on current events, and sought feedback from teachers and peers. I even started a debate club after school to gain more experience.
I did make it when a second chance came 3 months later. When the team needed an extra member for an upcoming tournament, they considered my dedication and improvement. This time, I was ready. My performance in the tryouts was confident and well-prepared. Joining the team was a sweet victory, but the real win was in the resilience I had built and the lessons I had learned along the way. My mother’s wisdom had steered me through a tough time, and I was grateful for the journey that had made me a better debater and a stronger person.
