A
Healthy Eating Plate
Use the Healthy Eating Plate as a guide for creating healthy, balanced meals—whether served at the table or packed in a lunch box.
Building a Healthy and Balanced Diet
The Healthy Eating Plate presents a simple visual guide to building a healthy meal. By showing different food groups on one plate, it stresses balance, choice, and everyday eating habits.
These guidelines highlight what matters most in healthy eating
- The type of carbohydrate in the diet is more important than the amount of carbohydrate, because some sources—like vegetables (other than potatoes), fruits, whole grains, and beans—are healthier than others.
- It advises consumers to avoid sugary drinks, a major source of calories—usually with little nutritional value—in the American diet.
- It encourages consumers to use healthy oils, and it does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat. In this way, the Healthy Eating Plate recommends the opposite of the low-fat message promoted for decades by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Your Plate and the Planet
Just as different foods can have different impacts on human health, they also have different impacts on the environment. Food production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and it places an enormous demand upon our earth's natural resources.
21. Which food choice would be most likely questioned
A. Nuts added to a salad.
B. Brown rice with beans.
C. Steamed fish with vegetables.
D. Bacon served with white bread.
22. What is the main message of the Healthy Eating Plate
A. To count calories first.
B. To follow a low-fat diet.
C. To cut carbohydrate intake.
D. To focus on diet quality.
23. Why is the USDA mentioned in the text
A. To explain how food policies are made.
B. To highlight the changes in dietary views
C. To show that the Plate takes official advice.
D. To support the idea of limiting fat consumption.
B
As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family's past and present—part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother's accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities in that embarrassing space between "teen" and "adult". My accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less "country". So I killed a piece of myself. I'm ashamed of it, but I'm more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else—change Emily's accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, "Girl, don't forget where you come from." Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it's important to me.
24. What made the author want to leave her hometown
A. Appeal of convenience in cities.
B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
25. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily's mother
A. Upset.
B. Pleased.
C. Ashamed.
D. Surprised.
26. Why did the author try to change Emily's accent
A. To prove herself right.
B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To make herself influential.
D. To protect Emily's self-dignity.
27. What message does the text want to convey
A. Stay true to your roots.
B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams.
D. Never judge a person by his accent.
C
Inspired by butterfly wings, a team of German researchers have developed a new kind of robotic wings that can work using only magnetic fields. The new wings created by the Technical University of Darmstadt researchers need no batteries or electronics.
The researchers drew inspiration from the remarkable efficiency and endurance of monarch butterflies, known to have incredibly long migrations between Canada and Mexico. Every autumn, millions of Monarch butterflies start a 3,000-mile journey from their North American breeding grounds to the warmer climate of southwestern Mexico for the winter.
These new robotic wings achieve energy-efficient flight by combining movement with passive bending, which was rarely copied outside the natural world. The team, led by Professor Oliver Gutfleisch and Dr. Denys Makarov, used a combination of flexible plastic fixed with tiny magnetic particles (颗粒) to build the wings.
The team found that the magnetic particles, when exposed to external magnetic fields, caused the wings to bend in a manner similar to that of butterflies. Achieving the desired design proved challenging; however, after testing fewer than 12 different designs, the team could develop wings strikingly similar to those that evolved in butterflies.
Looking ahead, these new wings could have a wide range of applications. One could be environmental research in which winged robots monitor pollinator (传粉者) populations or measure air quality. They could also be helpful in disasters, with their small, energy-efficient design enabling robots to navigate dangerous areas for search and rescue operations. The team also pointed out that the new design could also be readily adapted for medical sciences.
The principle of using magnetic particles in this way could also open doors for developing new kinds of artificial muscles or other innovative materials that can change shape on demand. While the robotic wings currently rely on external magnetic fields to change shape, the team is optimistic about integrating man-made magnetic field generators into future upgrades of the technology. "We plan to explore what changes to magnetic fields can enable more complex movements and control," explained Muhammad Bilal Khan, another lead author.
28. What's the driving power of the robotic wings
A. The air pressure.
B. The rechargeable battery.
C. The magnetic field.
D. The electronic motor.
29. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. Challenges facing the research team.
B. The potential of the robotic wings.
C. The working principle of the robots.
D. Uncertainties in developing robotic wings.
30. What does the last paragraph imply about the robotic wings
A. They are expected to operate in controlled magnetic fields.
B. Their use is strictly limited to environmental monitoring.
C. They should still depend on outside magnetic fields.
D. Their new versions will function as well as human muscles.
31. Which is a suitable title for the text
A. The Monarch Butterfly's 3,000-Mile Journey
B. Butterfly Wings Hold Clues to Natural Adaptation
C. Butterflies Rely on Magnetic Fields for Flight
D. Robotics Taking Wings Thanks to Butterflies
D
Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence Before the appearance of digital tools, you'd probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don't have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as "picking out words for the sake of their meaning," a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you'll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English's potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is crucial — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I'm a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like "eaves trough" or "serviette", which are well documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
32. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author
A. They promise fail-safe phrases.
B. They facilitate creative writing.
C. They possess academic authority.
D. They provide ready-made expressions.
33. What does the underlined word "stifle" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Favor.
B. Revise.
C. Discourage.
D. Observe.
34. Why does the author mention "eaves trough" and "serviette" in paragraph 4
A. To show how AI aids us in expressing.
B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries.
C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English.
D. To illustrate how language use affects our identity.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How to Deal with Digital Writing
B. Why Keep Your Dictionary
C. Who Uses Writing Assistants
D. What to Expect from Dictionaries

Four Things I Learned About Myself While Volunteering in India
After a satisfying career as communications director for a non-profit international charity, I wanted my retirement to reflect my values and my dreams. A friend suggested I create an equation (等式): values+ dreams= . I boiled values down to "social justice", and dreams to "foreign travel".
A community development organization in Nagpur, India, welcomed my volunteer help with programs, translation, and grant writing, and the local college wanted me to teach English for free. __36__But I gained far more than I gave.
I won't "settle" no matter what my age.
I had settled into a relationship that seemed perfect for a 60+ woman. But he would take an expensive rail journey through India while only writing checks to charity. I chose India over him.
__37__
My flat roof had broken plastic floor, a hard bed, and no TV or Wi-Fi. The shower fell at three drops per minute. But soon, that room became my cozy home. I unplugged. I read more, walked more, and visited temples and festivals. Life was simpler, freer.
I can depend on the kindness around me.
__38__Dolly refused to take money for my haircut while Vasanti and Vinta took care of me. A stranger at a church rescued me from a crowd and said gently, "I will be your father." That moment stayed with me more than the writings the others saw.
The difference between me and Indian women is what we wear.
Micro-loans help Indian women start businesses, send children to school, and improve their homes. __40__"While men are making war, we women are cooking soup and raising children," I said. We were more alike than different.
I spent four winters volunteering there. It wasn't escape— it was purpose.
A. Now, I would not trade my lifestyle for security or convenience.
B. Getting by with less is not a sacrifice.
C. My fellow workers showed warmth and generosity.
D. I thought we faced similar problems.
E. I saw myself in them.
F. Living a simple life was not easy at first.
G. I was expecting to "give back".

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。
Oliver was a small and introvert (内向的) boy who kept to himself. He was quiet and preferred indoor activities. Sitting in the corner of the class, he was very much a loner.
At the beginning of the semester, Oliver had a new classmate, Alan, who had just returned to England. Alan was assigned a seat next to Oliver. To his surprise, within weeks, he became good friends with Alan even though they were poles apart in personality. Alan was popular, outspoken and artistic. "Alan is all that I want to be," Oliver thought to himself. He began listening to the music Alan listened to and having similar haircut. He even quit his drama club and started playing the online games that Alan played. He seemed to have broken out of his loneliness.
It was not long before Oliver was introduced to Alan's "cool" friends. He told himself that he would try all means to be part of the group. He would follow them to the football games and join the art club after school so he could spend more time hanging out with them. Oliver followed them around laughing when they told jokes, agreeing when they had opinions—most enthusiastically at the ones he disagreed with. He did not dare to differ in opinions as he would not want them to think badly of him. This continued for several months. At last, Oliver felt relieved that he had finally fitted in.
One day, Oliver overheard Alan and his cool friends talking. "Oliver is such a loser," one boy commented in a playful tone. "He just follows you around trying to be you. He copies you; he does not have a personality of his own!" another boy exclaimed. Alan laughed, to make matters worse, he added, "That fellow wears me out. I wish he would leave me alone. He thinks we are best friends. A thorough fool!"
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Oliver stood still to the ground and could not believe his ears.

第二节 读后续写
Paragraph 1:
Oliver stood still to the ground and could not believe his ears. His heart sank and tears welled up in his eyes. All he had done to fit in was in vain. He rushed home without saying a word and locked himself in his room. His mother noticed his sadness and gently asked what had happened. Oliver poured out his troubles, saying he had lost himself just to be accepted by others.
Paragraph 2:
Oliver decided to change himself after hearing his mother's words. She told him that true friendship lies in being honest and being himself. The next day, Oliver went back to the drama club he loved and stopped copying Alan blindly. He began to express his own ideas bravely. Gradually, he made real friends who liked him for who he was. He finally realized that being himself was the most important thing.
