(2024·浙江1月卷)
When was the last time you used a telephone box I mean to make an actual phone call—not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was...2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more “young professional”．
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady's managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that there are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turned into a “mini community library”： any passerby can “borrow” a book from its shelves, and return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn't bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheesy love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable pricepoint encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I've discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly, no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.

Researchers in Japan have announced plans to start selling new devices designed to help people reduce their salt intake while still enhancing the flavor of their food. These innovations are being developed by a team from Meiji University and the Tokyobased beverage company Kirin.
One of the new devices is an electric spoon that transmits a mild electric current to the tongue. The current is so faint that it's not noticeable, but it increases the taste of salt by one and a half times. This allows us to use less salt in our food while still experiencing a salty flavor.
The Electric Salt Spoon is set to be released in Japan for approximately $120 starting in June. Professor Homei Miyashita from Meiji University developed both this spoon and a comparable device, electric chopsticks, which are expected to be available for purchase next year.
The recent announcement marks the first time the technology has been used in a product for sale to the public. Previously, the project received notable recognition when it won the 2023 Ig Nobel Prize in nutrition. The prize, according to its organizers, honors research that first makes people laugh and then prompts them to think.
Miyashita and his laboratory have explored ways that technology can create human sensory experiences. They have also developed alickable TV screen that can recreate the taste of food.
The beer manufacturer Kirin is venturing into healthcare products to broaden its traditional business. A representative from the company mentioned that this technology could be particularly beneficial for the Japanese population, whose customary diet tends to be high in salt. On average, adults in Japan consume around 10 grams of salt daily, while the World Health Organization suggests a limit of only 5 grams.
Eating foods with too much salt can increase the chances of having cardiovascular diseases, like high blood pressure and heart attacks. “To prevent these diseases, we need to reduce the amount of salt we take，” said Kirin researcher Ai Sato. Sato said it is hard to cut salt in the usual way because it would mean eating “bland food”．
语篇导读：本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是近日，日本一家公司为控制食盐摄入量，研发了一款新产品“电盐勺”——通过勺子释放的电流让食物尝起来更咸。
5．What is the chief purpose of the new devices
A．To make food taste less tasty.
B．To cook food more efficiently.
C．To help people reduce their salt intake.
D．To replace traditional cooking devices.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据第一段“Researchers in Japan have announced plans to start selling new devices designed to help people reduce their salt intake while still enhancing the flavor of their food.(日本研究人员宣布计划开始销售新设备，旨在帮助人们减少盐的摄入量，同时提高食物的味道。)”可知，新设备的主要目的是帮助人们减少盐的摄入量。故选C。
6．What is the main idea of the third paragraph
A．The practical application of different electric devices.
B.The price and availability of the electric devices.
C．The awards won by the Electric Salt Spoon.
D．The importance of reducing salt intake.
解析：B 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The Electric Salt Spoon is set to be released in Japan for approximately $120 starting in June. Professor Homei Miyashita from Meiji University developed both this spoon and a comparable device, electric chopsticks, which are expected to be available for purchase next year.(这款电盐勺将于今年6月在日本上市，售价约为120美元。日本明治大学的Homei Miyashita教授开发了这种勺子和一种类似的设备——电动筷子，预计明年就可以买到。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了这些电子设备的价格和上市时间。故选B。
7．Why might the technology be especially useful for Japanese people
A．They traditionally prefer salty foods.
B．Their diet contains too much fat and sugar.
C．Japan produces a large amount of salt each year.
D．Many Japanese suffer from cardiovascular diseases.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“A representative from the company mentioned that this technology could be particularly beneficial for the Japanese population, whose customary diet tends to be high in salt.(该公司的一位代表提到，这项技术可能对日本人特别有益，因为日本人的习惯饮食往往含盐量高。)”可推知，这项科技对日本人特别有用，因为他们的传统饮食偏咸。故选A。
8．What does the underlined phrase “bland food” in the last paragraph most probably mean
A．Food that is very salty.
B．Food that is tasteless.
C．Food that is not healthy.
D．Food that is too bitter.
解析：B 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“To prevent these diseases, we need to reduce the amount of salt we take(为了预防这些疾病，我们需要减少盐的摄入量)”可知，按照通常的方法减少盐的摄入是很难的，因为这意味着要“吃无味的食物”。因此画线短语“bland food”最有可能的意思是“无味的食物。”，即Food that is tasteless。 故选B。

(2025·湖北省七市州统测)
I faced a tight budget when I was nine.On November 1st, I used up most of the money I saved.With a small amount of pocket money left before Christmas, I didn't have enough to buy presents for the family.
I was seriously considering going to my dad and asking for an advance on the next year's pocket money, so I could at least buy gifts for my family members.But then, one evening, I was sitting in my room reading advertisements in the back of a magazine.Several greeting card companies were telling us how people could make money by selling their cards and stationery (文具).Normally, I would have passed right over the ads, but this time my situation was so difficult that I felt I had nothing to lose.
The ad that attracted me most was one by a wellknown greeting card company in my hometown, whose products were of high quality.With my parents' help, I contacted the company.Although they preferred adults or older kids to advertise their products, after my sincere request, they agreed to give me, a nineyearold boy, a chance.
My sales materials arrived within the week.I had expected something small and neat, but the package looked like a dinosaur's shoebox；it was close to three feet long and nearly a foot wide, full of stuff.There was a thick binder (活页夹) containing a complete selection of the cards and some writing paper, which I would be selling for around $3 per box.
Although my parents supported my attempt to make money by myself, they had little confidence in my success；after all, instead of an outgoing kid, I was somewhat shy.However, I was determined to have a try at challenging myself.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
Wasting no time, I set off and knocked on doors in my neighborhood.
Eventually, I earned over $20, a large sum of money for a 9yearold kid in 1954.
【写作提示】
故事人物 作者、父母、邻居
故事梗概 圣诞节前作者没有足够的钱给家人买礼物，本打算向父亲请求帮助，但是突然看到杂志上贺卡公司的广告，让作者萌生出售卡片和文具挣钱的想法。在父母的帮助下，作者争取到了一个代理的机会。虽然父母对此不抱希望，但是作者决心挑战自己！
续写要点 第一段：1.作者是如何推销的？ 2.邻居们的反应如何？ 3.过程中作者的心态发生了什么转变？ 第二段：1.作者是否如愿挣到了钱？ 2.这件事带给作者什么样的感悟？
参考范文：
Wasting no time, I set off and knocked on doors in my neighborhood.Gathering my courage, I introduced myself as the young representative of the wellknown greeting card company.The initial responses were mixed—some were hesitant, while others were fascinated by the idea of a child engaged in such a venture.As I showcased the highquality cards and shared the story behind each design, the doubt began to fade away, replaced by genuine interest.Surprisingly, my shy character transformed into enthusiasm, and I found myself engaging in conversations that extended beyond the purpose of sales.
Eventually, I earned over $20, a large sum of money for a 9yearold kid in 1954.The community's response exceeded my expectations, and the support I received went beyond mere financial transactions.Neighbors were not just buying cards；they were encouraging a young entrepreneur.This unexpected journey into sales not only alleviated my financial concerns for Christmas but also instilled a sense of accomplishment and selfconfidence.It broadened my horizons and laid the foundation for a newfound belief in the possibilities that determination and courage could unfold, regardless of age.

(2025·湖北省七市州统测)
I faced a tight budget when I was nine.On November 1st, I used up most of the money I saved.With a small amount of pocket money left before Christmas, I didn't have enough to buy presents for the family.
I was seriously considering going to my dad and asking for an advance on the next year's pocket money, so I could at least buy gifts for my family members.But then, one evening, I was sitting in my room reading advertisements in the back of a magazine.Several greeting card companies were telling us how people could make money by selling their cards and stationery (文具).Normally, I would have passed right over the ads, but this time my situation was so difficult that I felt I had nothing to lose.
The ad that attracted me most was one by a wellknown greeting card company in my hometown, whose products were of high quality.With my parents' help, I contacted the company.Although they preferred adults or older kids to advertise their products, after my sincere request, they agreed to give me, a nineyearold boy, a chance.
My sales materials arrived within the week.I had expected something small and neat, but the package looked like a dinosaur's shoebox；it was close to three feet long and nearly a foot wide, full of stuff.There was a thick binder (活页夹) containing a complete selection of the cards and some writing paper, which I would be selling for around $3 per box.
Although my parents supported my attempt to make money by myself, they had little confidence in my success；after all, instead of an outgoing kid, I was somewhat shy.However, I was determined to have a try at challenging myself.

参考范文：
Wasting no time, I set off and knocked on doors in my neighborhood.Gathering my courage, I introduced myself as the young representative of the wellknown greeting card company.The initial responses were mixed—some were hesitant, while others were fascinated by the idea of a child engaged in such a venture.As I showcased the highquality cards and shared the story behind each design, the doubt began to fade away, replaced by genuine interest.Surprisingly, my shy character transformed into enthusiasm, and I found myself engaging in conversations that extended beyond the purpose of sales.
Eventually, I earned over $20, a large sum of money for a 9yearold kid in 1954.The community's response exceeded my expectations, and the support I received went beyond mere financial transactions.Neighbors were not just buying cards；they were encouraging a young entrepreneur.This unexpected journey into sales not only alleviated my financial concerns for Christmas but also instilled a sense of accomplishment and selfconfidence.It broadened my horizons and laid the foundation for a newfound belief in the possibilities that determination and courage could unfold, regardless of age.
