A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know if she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see ”
“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.
“What does it mean, father ” she humbly asked.
He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however; after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
“Which are you ” he asked his daughter.
24．Why did the daughter complain to her father
A．Because she found life was extremely cruel to her.
B．Because she found that she was at a loss in her life.
C．Because she was tired of fighting and struggling with others.
D．Because she doubted if she’d make it to addressing the boredom in life.
25．What did the father take his daughter to the kitchen for
A．To boil three things for her. B．To explain to her what life is.
C．To give her some inspiration. D．To carry out an experiment with her.
26．What can be inferred from the text
A．The father seemed to be in favor of the egg most.
B．The carrot was likely to be the daughter’s favourite.
C．The three things all stood the test of the boiling water.
D．The ground coffee beans chose to affect their surroundings.
27．What’s the best title for the text
A．A vivid lesson B．A best choice
C．A tough challenge D．A rough ride
Huge piles of research on diet are published annually. The most shocking of these get reported in the media. All claim to be based on the latest research and each claims to prove the last study wrong. Do scientists really not know what’s good for us, or is the news report to blame for the confusion
Misleading media coverage plays a role, but publication bias (偏见) is one major source: studies that show surprising results are more likely to get published. “What you see published in the nightly news is the end result of a system where everyone is encouraged to come up with a positive result,” says Vinay at Oregon Science University.
One way to get around this problem is to conduct large, randomized controlled trials, which involve randomly assigning participants to different groups to control variables. But these kinds of studies are difficult to do for foods, as few would risk eating habits on chance; fewer still sustain changes long enough to benefit. Instead, nutrition scientists usually observe what people eat by asking them to fill out food diaries, and then track the health of participants over a given period of time.
In these “observational” studies, people track their diets while going about their lives. Differences between subjects in what they do outside of mealtimes can make all the difference. People who eat what is seen as an unhealthy diet — with more fast food, for instance — might have unhealthy lifestyles in other ways, such as smoking. Consequently, dietary effects are hard to set apart.
Because of these difficulties, even today’s most recommended dietary advice lacks good quality evidence. This doesn’t mean we can eat as much cake as we like. But it does suggest that within limits of common sense, one way of eating is about as good as another. While admittedly simple advice, it removes the pressure to constantly run after the latest amazing diet or fear seemingly harmful foods. Within reason, trusting your stomach is mostly fine.
28．What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1
A．Scientists fail to figure out truth. B．News spreads confusion on purpose.
C．Research on diet astonishes people. D．Media reports conflicting diet studies.
29．Which of the following news items suggests publication bias
A．Chocolate unexpectedly aids weight loss. B．Calorie restriction helps to slow aging.
C．Effects of zero fat diet require further tests. D．Whole grain diet improves heart health.
30．What do paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly discuss
A．The reliability of self-reported diet data. B．How long-term diet tracking improves health.
C．The main problems in studying dietary effects. D．How lifestyle factors affect diet research results.
31．What is the author’s suggestion for food choice
A．Avoid potentially unhealthy foods. B．Consume varieties of foods.
C．Count on the latest dietary advice. D．Follow body signals sensibly.
When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering.
Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car, known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete an entire journey without any intervention (介入) from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abandoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self-driving cars.
Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard, people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re-creating those situations on a test track.
How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software driver really can be safer than a human being.
From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging (炫耀的) rights away
32．Why does Clara-Marina Martinez note the unusual behaviour on the road
A．To market Porsche cars.
B．To improve an AI technology.
C．To learn to be a responsible driver.
D．To enjoy riding in a self-driving car.
33．The problem with self-driving cars is that .
A．they learn as slowly as human beings
B．they operate for a very short period of time
C．they have to be monitored by human drivers
D．they need a long time to reach a certain safety level
34．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Employing simulators on a test track.
B．Speeding the development of process.
C．Figuring out the physical road dangers.
D．Separating the real world from the virtual world.
35．What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph
A．The reliability of car software.
B．The future of the sports car market.
C．The driving skills of human beings.
D．The quality of self-driving cars in the future.
In a world surrounded by bad news, it may feel like an unhappy place sometimes. 36 If you make even one person smile today, you can help make this world a better place. Here is a list of ideas to help you.
37 In this day and age where everything is sent via the Internet, it’s a shock to receive a letter through the post. Putting pen to paper and writing a few words to a friend can be an easy way to make a positive impact.
Requiring some time and research to find the perfect project, volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do. Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is incredible. There are so many opportunities for you to do volunteering work. 38
Tell someone “I love you.” 39 And you don’t even have to say “I love you.” Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or remind your mum that it’s her birthday. Sometimes, in our busy lives we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us.
40 Whether you’ re creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate them. Even if you think you’ re not creative, the recipient will feel lucky to get such a unique gift that you put your precious time into. Some ideas could include a card, painting, drawing, song, poem or cake!
A．It can be anyone.
B．However, you can make a difference.
C．It’s a surprise to send a handwritten letter.
D．So you are sure to find one that is right for you.
E．And it doesn’t necessarily have to take up all your life.
F．Making something for a special person is always unique.
G．Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone’s day.

77．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
When the last customer left KFC, it was already 10:30 p.m. Daniel, an 18-year-old college student, dragged himself home. He had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation.
Entering his room, Daniel found his younger brother Eric sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face.
“Sorry, Daniel. I ... I did something wrong.” Eric sprang up and said nervously.
“What is it ”
“This afternoon I sneaked out for a ride on your motorcycle and accidentally hit our neighbor Mr. Green’s car. I was so scared and I ... I hurried home in panic.”
“Is the car seriously damaged ”
“The left headlight got broken.”
“It’s truly your fault and it’s really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age. Besides, it’s illegal.” Daniel raised his voice, obviously annoyed. Hearing this, Eric lowered his head and bit his lips hard.
“Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. I will deal with it tomorrow. Now you go to bed and have a good sleep.”
The next morning when Daniel got up, Eric was still sleeping soundly. Daniel was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother.
After breakfast, Daniel took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it. In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible. Daniel shook his head and sighed slightly. Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Mr. Green’s house. When he arrived, he was welcomed by Mrs. Green, who told him that Mr. Green had gone to the garage to have his car repaired.
“I have something important to tell him. Can I wait until he comes back ” Daniel requested eagerly.
“Of course. He should be home soon.” Mrs. Green invited Daniel in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him.

【原文】W: These days, many parents are worried because their children spend too much time indoors doing things such as watching TV or playing computer games. A 2018 study in the United Kingdom revealed that children spend about four hours outside per week, roughly 50% less than their parents had as kids. Spending time outdoors isn't just enjoyable, it's also necessary. Many researchers agree that kids who play outside are happier, better at paying attention and less anxious than kids who spend more time indoors. Spending time in nature can build their confidence. There's a lot less structure than most types of indoor play, and they can choose how they interact with the nature around them. This gives them practice managing their own actions and encourages creativity and imagination. Being outdoors can also teach them responsibility. For example, if they are in charge of watering a plant, they can learn that they must take care of living things to keep them alive. Being outside gets kids moving too. Regardless of what they're doing, there's usually more exercise involved than if they were sitting on the couch. Not only is exercise good for kids’ bodies, it seems to make them more focused.

The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.(他解释说，他们每个人都面临着同样的逆境，沸腾的水，但每个物体的反应不同。胡萝卜长得结实、坚硬、毫不留情；但经过沸水的作用，它变得柔软而脆弱。那只蛋很脆弱;它那薄薄的外壳保护着它那液体的内部；但是经过沸水的浸泡，它的内部变得坚硬了。)”及第四段“The ground coffee beans were unique, however; after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.(然而，磨碎的咖啡豆是独一无二的；当他们在沸水里之后，他们改变了水。)”和文章的最后一段““Which are you ” he asked his daughter.(你是哪一个 他问女儿。)”可知，爸爸将她带到厨房，用胡萝卜，鸡蛋和咖啡分别在锅里面煮，让孩子看这三种东西的反应，从而启发孩子在逆境的时候应该怎么做。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The ground coffee beans were unique, however; after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.(然而，磨碎的咖啡豆是独一无二的；当他们在沸水里之后，他们改变了水。)”可知，咖啡豆改变了水，由此可知，磨碎的咖啡豆选择影响它们周围的环境。故选D。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第三段“He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.(他解释说，他们每个人都面临着同样的逆境，沸腾的水，但每个人的反应不同。胡萝卜长得结实、坚硬、毫不留情;但经过沸水的作用，它变得柔软而脆弱。那只蛋很脆弱;它那薄薄的外壳保护着它那液体的内部；但是经过沸水的浸泡，它的内部变得坚硬了。)”及第四段“The ground coffee beans were unique, however; after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.(然而，磨碎的咖啡豆是独一无二的；当他们在沸水里之后，他们改变了水。)”可知，爸爸将她带到厨房，用胡萝卜，鸡蛋和咖啡分别在锅里面煮，让孩子看这三种东西的反应，从而启发孩子在逆境的时候应该怎么做，给孩子上了生动的一课，所以题目“生动的一课”合乎题意。故选A。
28．D 29．A 30．C 31．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了饮食研究因研究方法局限和发表偏倚（publication bias），而经常呈现矛盾结论，因此无需过度追求完美饮食。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Huge piles of research on diet are published annually. The most shocking of these get reported in the media. All claim to be based on the latest research and each claims to prove the last study wrong.(每年都有大量关于饮食的研究发表。其中最令人震惊的那些会被媒体报道。所有研究都声称基于最新研究，且每一项都声称证明上一项研究是错误的。)”可知，媒体频繁报道最新的饮食研究，而新的研究总是与过往的研究相矛盾，由此可知，第一段介绍了媒体报道相互冲突的饮食研究这一现象。故选D项。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Misleading media coverage plays a role, but publication bias (偏见) is one major source: studies that show surprising results are more likely to get published. (误导性的媒体报道会产生影响，但发表偏倚是一个主要根源：那些得出惊人结果的研究更有可能得以发表。)”可知，媒体偏好报道带有新奇或反直觉结果的研究，结合下文的““What you see published in the nightly news is the end result of a system where everyone is encouraged to come up with a positive result,” says Vinay at Oregon Science University.(俄勒冈科技大学的维奈表示：‘你在晚间新闻中看到的那些内容，是整个体系运作的最终结果——在这个体系里，所有人都被鼓励得出积极的结果。’)”可知，每个人都希望得出一个积极的结果，由此可知，A项“巧克力出人意料地有助于减肥”属于惊人的意外结果，符合发表偏倚的特征。故选A项。
30．主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“One way to get around this problem is to conduct large, randomized controlled trials, which involve randomly assigning participants to different groups to control variables. But these kinds of studies are difficult to do for foods, as few would risk eating habits on chance; fewer still sustain changes long enough to benefit. (解决这一问题的方法之一是开展大规模随机对照试验，这种试验会将参与者随机分配到不同组别以控制变量。但这类研究很难在食品领域实施，因为很少有人愿意冒险让饮食习惯受随机因素影响；而能长期坚持改变饮食习惯、直至从中获益的人就更少了。)”可知，第三段主要论述了为什么严谨的大型随机实验不能用于饮食研究中，研究者转而使用观察法，而第四段中的“In these “observational” studies, people track their diets while going about their lives. Differences between subjects in what they do outside of mealtimes can make all the difference.(在这些“观察性”研究中，研究对象会在日常生活中记录自己的饮食情况。而研究对象在非用餐时间的行为差异，可能会对研究结果产生决定性影响。)”和“Consequently, dietary effects are hard to set apart.(因此，饮食的影响很难区分。)”可知，第四段则论述了观察法不能排除干扰因素，由此可知，第三、四段主要讨论了研究饮食影响时存在的主要问题。故选C项。
31．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“While admittedly simple advice, it removes the pressure to constantly run after the latest amazing diet or fear seemingly harmful foods. Within reason, trusting your stomach is mostly fine.(虽然这确实是简单的建议，但它消除了不断追求最新神奇饮食或害怕看似有害食物的压力。在合理范围内，相信自己的肠胃通常是没问题的。)”可知，作者对食物选择的建议是理性地遵循身体发出的信号。故选D项。
32．B 33．D 34．C 35．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述开发自动驾驶汽车的问题以及对跑车市场的影响。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段“When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering. (开车时，Clara-Marina Martinez会记下她在路上看到的任何异常行为。然后，她将这些输入到机器学习算法中，这是一种人工智能，她正在帮助保时捷工程集团开发这种算法。)”及第二段“Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. (这些算法旨在产生一个足够可靠的系统，让汽车自动驾驶)”可知，Clara-Marina Martinez将开车时的异常输入到人工智能算法中，弥补人工智能算法的不足，使其更可靠。由此推知，Clara-Marina Martinez打算改进人工智能技术。故选B。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段“Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. (据说自动驾驶汽车不仅方便，而且可能更安全。然而，正如人们花时间学习如何安全驾驶一样，机器也是如此。机器不是快速学习者。兰德公司计算出，要开发一个比人类驾驶员安全20%的系统，100辆自动驾驶汽车必须一年365天，每天24小时运行)”可知，自动驾驶汽车需要长时间学习如何安全驾驶，即自动驾驶汽车需要很长时间才能达到一定的安全水平。由此推知，自动驾驶汽车的问题是：需要很长时间才能达到一定的安全水平。故选D。
34．词句猜测题。根据划线处上句“Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality.(因此，保时捷等汽车制造商使用模拟器加快了开发过程。这些教会软件有关现实中很少遇到的危险)”以及“Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines”(马丁内斯博士和她的同事们使用了“游戏引擎”)”可知，“this”指代Martinez博士和她的同事用“游戏引擎”教会软件有关现实中很少遇到的危险。C项：Figuring out the physical road dangers.(能够识别道路危险)合乎题意。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging rights (炫耀的权利) away (不过，从保时捷的角度来看，还有另一个问题。鉴于拥有跑车的大部分原因是为了让车主炫耀他们的驾驶技能，对于软件剥夺了那些炫耀的权利这一版本，市场会有多大？)”可知，买跑车的原因是为了炫技，但软件剥夺了车主炫技的权利。由此推知，保时捷公司担心跑车市场的未来。故选B。
36．B 37．C 38．D 39．A 40．F

(为一个特别的人做点什么总是独一无二的。)”讲述的是为一个特别的人做点什么都是独一无二的，与本段讲述的内容吻合，概括了本段的主题，符合语境。故选F项。

70．extended
【详解】考查动词。句意：此时，大火已经蔓延到15楼。根据提示的汉语，表示“延伸”应为extend，分析句子结构可知，空前有助动词had，所以此处应为过去完成时，extend与句子主语the fire之间为主动关系，所以此处应使用过去分词形式extended。故填extended。

72．applauded
【详解】考查动词。句意：另一位值得称赞的运动员是Jessica Ennis-Hill。根据提示的汉语，表示“赞许”应为applaud，结合句意，applaud与主语that指代的先行词Another sportsperson之间为被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填applauded。
73．demonstrating/emonstrating
【详解】考查动词。句意：在1960年罗马奥运会上，他为美国赢得了轻重量级金牌，在这个过程中，他展示了伟大的天赋和个性，引起了公众的注意。根据句意、所给首字母d以及分析句子结构可知，空格处填入一个以字母d开头的非谓语动词作状语，且意义为“表现，展示”，所以应该用动词demonstrate，主语he和demonstrate之间是逻辑上的主动关系，所以应该用现在分词作状语。故填demonstrating。
74．amateurs
【详解】考查名词的数。句意：六周前，我的朋友们告诉我，一场面向业余爱好者的城市半程马拉松赛正在筹备中，目的是为慈善事业筹款。设空处为for的宾语，应用名词，根据汉语提示可知，表示“业余爱好者”是amateur，可数名词，表泛指，用复数形式。故填amateurs。

76．Sample1:
Good morning, everyone!
Today I am very glad to share my ideas of sportsmanship.
Sportsmanship means fairness, respect, and the spirit of never giving up. It teaches us to face failure bravely, respect opponents, and always play by the rules. To cultivate sportsmanship, we should take part in sports activities actively, learn to cooperate with others, and keep a positive attitude whether we win or lose. By doing so, we can become stronger both physically and mentally, and grow into more responsible and confident people.
That’s all. Thank you for listening!
Sample2:
Good morning, everyone!
Today I am very glad to share my ideas of sportsmanship.
Sportsmanship is not just about winning or losing; it’s about respect, teamwork, and perseverance. It teaches us to face challenges with courage and to support our teammates. To cultivate this spirit, we should practice regularly, learn from failures, and always play fair. By doing so, we not only improve our skills but also build strong character.
Let’s embrace sportsmanship and make it a part of our daily lives!
Thank you!
77．Daniel cleared his throat and began to speak. “Mr. Green, I’m here to apologize for my brother Eric. He took my motorcycle without permission this afternoon and hit your car by accident, breaking the left headlight. I’m so sorry for the trouble he caused. It’s my fault too. I should have kept the keys safer.” He took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over. “This is all the money I earned from my part-time job at KFC. I hope it can cover the repair cost.” His face turned red, but his eyes were firm with determination.
Just then, there came a knock at the door. Mrs. Green opened it, and Eric stood there, head bowed. “I... I’m sorry, Mr. Green. It was my mistake. I was frightened to tell you the truth, but Daniel taught me that it is more important than hiding to be brave and responsible.” He looked up, voice trembling but sincere. Mr. Green smiled gently, patting both boys’ shoulders. “I appreciate your honesty, boys. The headlight isn’t too expensive, and your courage to admit it means more than money. Let’s fix it together tomorrow.” Daniel and Eric exchanged a relieved glance, grateful for the lesson in responsibility and forgiveness.
