When the fifth grade school year was almost over, all the girls made autograph (签名) books. As I signed my classmates’ books, I noticed their moms had written in them, too. “I couldn’t be prouder of you. Can’t wait to see how you like junior high!” “Congratulations! We love you and know you have a bright future!”
I asked my mother to sign mine, too. When she handed it back to me, I was anxious to see what she had written. This is what I found on the page:
When a thing is first begun
Never leave it till it’s done.
Be the labor great or small.
Do it well or not at all.
That was it I was frozen. It was an indication to me that, if I couldn’t be perfect, I wasn’t good enough. I held back my tears, left the page in but secretly hoped my classmates wouldn’t read it.
Do it well or not at all. For years, I battled perfectionism and never felt good enough for most of my life.
When my mother was in her eighties, I gave her a book to fill out so we could know more about her. It had questions at the top of each page and then blank space to respond. I secretly hoped she’d been working on it all along. Sadly, not long after, my mother passed away. When I sorted out her belongings, what I wanted more than anything was that book. What I found stopped me short. On page ten, the question was, “What’s the best advice you got from your parents ” Her response was what she had written in my autograph book. Even though I’d memorized it years ago, I read it at a slower pace now, seeing it in a new light.
It was written to her by her mother, and she was passing it down to her daughter in the same way. A gift from her to me. She was giving me treasured, valuable advice when all I was thinking about were words of praise. I understand it now.
24. In paragraph 1 the author found that words from other classmates’ moms ________.
A. contained reflection on life
B. expressed their thankfulness
C. showed pride in their children
D. featured a formal writing style
25. Seeing her mom’s words on the autograph book, how did the author feel
A. Disappointed. B. Motivated. C. Hopeful. D. Anxious.
26. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 imply
A. The author memorized the words from her mom.
B. The author was surprised to see the same words again.
C. The author found it easy to see the words clearly under the light.
D. The author began to have a new understanding of her mom’s words.
27. What gift did the author’s mom give her
A. A vision of a perfect world.
B. Encouragement to do things well.
C. Her mom’s wisdom of loving yourself.
D. Her mom’s advice on living at a slow pace.
C
Solar panels—also known as “photovoltaic” panels—are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on waler. Because these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltacs”.
The idea isn’t as unusual as it might seem. After all, any solar panel has to be waterproof, since it will be out in the rain. There are already several large floatovoltaic farms in Asia. On land, so panels are held up by special frames (框架). On the water, foatovotaicis are placed on a floating platfom attached to the boto of a lake or reservoir (水库). Floating solar panels cost about 25% more than those placed on land.
The researchers behind the new study looked at 14.5555 reservoirs worldwide. They used computer progams to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large—more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world.
Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs’ surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they’re not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy.
Floatovoltaics aren’t perfect. Covering too much of a reservoir with panels could affect the plants and animals in the water. The scientists say it will be important to study how floating panels will affect water in each reservoir. Focusing first on man-made reservoirs will avoid some of those problems.
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A. To list solar panels’ unusual functions.
B. To show disadvantages of solar panels on land.
C. To introduce the workability of floating solar panels.
D. To make a comparison between different solar panels.
29. How did researchers carry out the new study
A. By looking at reservoirs worldwide.
B. By making computer-aided estimates.
C. By building floatovoftaic farms in the US.
D. By processing data given by specialists.
30. What do we know about floating solar panels
A. They are perfect except for the high cost.
B. They function well in extreme hot weather.
C. They will eventually replace photovoltaic panels.
D. They may cause potential harm to water ecosystem.
31. What is the suitable title for the text
A. Floating Solar Panels—Making Energy, Saving Water
B. Floating Solar Panels—A New Way to Cool the Planet
C. Floating Solar Panels: Our Final Choice
D. Floating Solar Panels Take Us Back to Water

In the lab, most mice go as far as to take electric shocks in their desperation to consume sugar. Mice aren’t alone. Humans do something similar. Daily snacking on processed foods, recent studies show, rewires the brain’s reward circuits(回路).
Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist at the University of Michigan, argues that highly Processed foods, very high in fat and carbohydrate, don’t exist naturally. “They’re designed by food scientists to look a certain way, feel a certain way in your mouth, smell a certain way when you open the package.” she says, “People aren’t losing control over beans.”
In highly processed snacks, sugar often goes together with fat-a combination that could make such foods even more addictive. For a 2023 study, DeFeliceantonio’s team asked 82 people to snack on either high-fat, high-sugar yogurts or low-sugar, low-fat ones for eight weeks. The scientists discovered not only that the first group’s preference for the healthier yogurts decreased after the trial but that their brain activation patterns changed, too. When tasting fatty, sugary milkshakes, they had an increased response in their reward circuits. “Highly processed foods are controlling the brain in a way you’d see with addiction to drugs,” DeFeliceantonio says.
In 2022,Gearhardt and DeFeliccantonio published an opinion piece in the journal Addiction arguing that highly processed foods should be classified(分类) as addictive. Hebebrand, a psychiatrist at the University of Duisburg-Essen, however, worries that rushing to classify certain foods as addictive could let the sugar industry make an easy escape. It may be following “the playbook of the tobacco industry.” After all, there was no clear proof that nicotine(尼古丁) was addictive, either: researchers didn’t know the dosage(剂量) at which it became addictive. As a result, the addictive nature of tobacco was opposed for decades. Considering highly processed foods’ harmful health effects, Gearhardt argues that it’s better to risk misclassifying highly processed foods as addictive than to fail to label (贴标签) them as such. “It’s cigarettes all over again.” She says.
32. What does paragraph 2 suggest
A. Processed foods are tastier than natural ones.
B. Beans are much healthier than processed foods.
C. People can become addicted to processed foods.
D. The design of processed foods takes great effort.
33. According to the 2023 study, those eating high-fat, high-sugar yogurts have ________.
A. decreased response to healthy foods in reward system
B. increased likelihood of developing addiction to drugs
C. increased difficulty in activating the brain with drugs
D. decreased interest in highly processed snacks
34. What is Hebebrand ‘s attitude towards classifying sugar addictive
A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
35. What does Gearhardt mean by saying “It’s cigarettes all over again.”
A. It’s time we labeled tobacco as addictive.
B. The market will be filled with processed foods.
C. we should classify sugar as addictive before it’s too late.
D. It’s a mistake to have misclassified cigarettes as addictive.
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。
There you were, sitting in a classroom, practicing writing letters and words. Maybe you were printing (手写印剧字体) them, or maybe you were learning cursive (草体). At some point, you probably asked yourself, “Why do I need to know how to write when all 1 need is to press the keys on a computer ” ___36___ It also helps you remember the information that you write down.
___37___ Actually, beginner printing is usually very messy, and sometimes we cannot even tell what the letters are. Also, the shape of each letter can change each time a child tries to write it. But remember that every time a child sees a letter that looks a little different but still has the same name, it helps the child’s brain to learn that letter.
Research has also shown that if you wrote something by hand, you would remember it better than if you typed it on your computer! Why does this happen ___38___ But speed may be the problem! When we type information, we tend to type exactly what the teacher is saying. Without thinking about it. Writing by hand takes longer, so we cannot record everything the teacher says. When writing, we tend to put things into our own words or summarize what the teacher says. ___39___
In summary, writing by hand can help you learn new things like letters, but it also allows you to remember information better than if you typed it. It does not matter how you write—printing, cursive, abbreviations (宿写).___40___ So, keep writing!
A. That makes things a lot easier.
B. It just matters that you write by hand.
C. Surely it is quicker to type during a lecture than to write, right
D. What did your printing look like when you first started to write
E. In a way, taking notes by hand is a way of studying while we are learning!
F. Well, in short, writing by hand helps you learn a set of symbols more easily.
G. When people write letters, they actively see and feel the letters being written.

When I was four, my seven-year-old brother received a baseball glove for his birthday. Every night. as we went to sleep. I’d listen to him throwing a ball into the glove over and over to soften the leather. I wanted a glove so much that I almost cried. But, back then, girls didn’t play sports; they played with dolls (洋娃娃).
Fast-forward twenty-six years. Now a thirty-year-old mother of two boys and a girl, I happened to sec a notice in my local paper: “Women’s Baseball League opens soon. Anyone interested, sign up at the community service center.” I cut it out and set it on the kitchen table, Could I After all these years
I looked at that notice on my table every day. l thought of a thousand reasons I couldn’t play. But the idea of playing baseball stuck in my head and wouldn’t go away. Finally, 1 gathered up my courage and signed up. Since I wasn’t a member of any team, they told me I’d be assigned (分配) to one. Two weeks passed before they gave me the name of the team to look for. Since my husband worked Monday nights, I arranged for a babysitter. It was a luxury (奢侈) but, at that moment in my life, a necessity.
On Monday, heart pounding, I walked through the park filled with women of all ages practicing. It took me a while to find my team. They were all high-school girls, seventeen and eighteen years old! I waited a couple of minutes before approaching the coach. He had put together top athletes for his team, and he didn’t want some old lady messing things up. He looked me over. His girls had fine gloves and metal cleats (棒球钉鞋). They looked like players. I had no glove and wore an old T-shirt and gym shoes. I didn’t care. I wanted to play. That first day, he had me run bases (跑垒). I never got a chance to bat or play the field. I just ran bases all night. The next morning, I could hardly stand.

When the fifth grade school year was almost over, all the girls made autograph (签名) books. As I signed my classmates’ books, I noticed their moms had written in them, too. “I couldn’t be prouder of you. Can’t wait to see how you like junior high!” “Congratulations! We love you and know you have a bright future!”
I asked my mother to sign mine, too. When she handed it back to me, I was anxious to see what she had written. This is what I found on the page:
When a thing is first begun,
Never leave it till it’s done.
Be the labor great or small.
Do it well or not at all.
That was it I was frozen. It was an indication to me that, if I couldn’t be perfect, I wasn’t good enough. I held back my tears, left the page in but secretly hoped my classmates wouldn’t read it.
Do it well or not at all. For years, I battled perfectionism and never felt good enough for most of my life.
When my mother was in her eighties, I gave her a book to fill out so we could know more about her. It had questions at the top of each page and then blank space to respond. I secretly hoped she’d been working on it all along. Sadly, not long after, my mother passed away. When I sorted out her belongings, what I wanted more than anything was that book. What I found stopped me short. On page ten, the question was, “What’s the best advice you got from your parents ” Her response was what she had written in my autograph book. Even though I’d memorized it years ago, I read it at a slower pace now, seeing it in a new light.
It was written to her by her mother, and she was passing it down to her daughter in the same way. A gift from her to me. She was giving me treasured, valuable advice when all I was thinking about were words of praise. I understand it now.
24. In paragraph 1, the author found that words from other classmates’ moms ________.
A. contained reflection on life
B. expressed their thankfulness
C. showed pride in their children
D. featured a formal writing style

Solar panels—also known as “photovoltaic” panels—are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on waler. Because these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltacs”.
The idea isn’t as unusual as it might seem. After all, any solar panel has to be waterproof, since it will be out in the rain. There are already several large floatovoltaic farms in Asia. On land, so panels are held up by special frames (框架). On the water, foatovotaicis are placed on a floating platfom attached to the boto of a lake or reservoir (水库). Floating solar panels cost about 25% more than those placed on land.
The researchers behind the new study looked at 14.5555 reservoirs worldwide. They used computer progams to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large—more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world.
Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs’ surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they’re not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy.
Floatovoltaics aren’t perfect. Covering too much of a reservoir with panels could affect the plants and animals in the water. The scientists say it will be important to study how floating panels will affect water in each reservoir. Focusing first on man-made reservoirs will avoid some of those problems.
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A. To list solar panels’ unusual functions.
B. To show disadvantages of solar panels on land.
C. To introduce the workability of floating solar panels.
D. To make a comparison between different solar panels.
29. How did researchers carry out the new study
A. By looking at reservoirs worldwide.
B. By making computer-aided estimates.
C. By building floatovoftaic farms in the US.
D. By processing data given by specialists.
30. What do we know about floating solar panels
A. They are perfect except for the high cost.
B. They function well in extreme hot weather.
C. They will eventually replace photovoltaic panels.
D. They may cause potential harm to water ecosystem.
31. What is the suitable title for the text
A. Floating Solar Panels—Making Energy, Saving Water
B. Floating Solar Panels—A New Way to Cool the Planet
C. Floating Solar Panels: Our Final Choice
D. Floating Solar Panels Take Us Back to Water
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了浮动太阳能电池板的优势——既能发电又能节约水。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The idea isn’t as unusual as it might seem. After all, any solar panel has to be waterproof, since it will be out in the rain. There are already several large floatovoltaic farms in Asia. On land, so panels are held up by special frames (框架). On the water, foatovotaicis are placed on a floating platfom attached to the boto of a lake or reservoir (水库). Floating solar panels cost about 25% more than those placed on land.(这个想法并不像看起来那么不寻常。毕竟，任何太阳能电池板都必须是防水的，因为它会在雨中使用。亚洲已经有几个大型的浮动光伏电站。在陆地上，太阳能板由特殊框架支撑。在水面上，浮动太阳能电池板被放置在附着在湖底或水库底部的浮动平台上，浮动太阳能电池板的成本比放置在陆地上的太阳能电池板高出25%左右。)”可知，第2段的目的是介绍浮动太阳能电池板的可操作性。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“They used computer progams to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels.(他们用计算机程序计算出，如果在30%的水库上安装浮动太阳能电池板，每年可以产生多少电力。)”可知，研究人员是通过计算机辅助估算来进行这项新研究的。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Covering too much of a reservoir with panels could affect the plants and animals in the water.(用面板覆盖太多的水库可能会影响水中的植物和动物。)”可知，浮动太阳能电池板可能对水生态系统造成潜在危害。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第三段“The answer was surprisingly large—more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world.(答案惊人地大——是美国一年发电量的两倍多，是目前世界上所有太阳能发电量的10倍。)”和倒数第二段“Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs.(浮动光伏还可以通过限制水库的蒸发来帮助节约用水。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是主要介绍了浮动太阳能电池板的优势——既能发电又能节约水，因此最好的题目是A选项“Floating Solar Panels—Making Energy, Saving Water(浮动太阳能电池板——发电，节水)”。故选A。

In the lab, most mice go as far as to take electric shocks in their desperation to consume sugar. Mice aren’t alone. Humans do something similar. Daily snacking on processed foods, recent studies show, rewires the brain’s reward circuits(回路).
Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist at the University of Michigan, argues that highly Processed foods, very high in fat and carbohydrate, don’t exist naturally. “They’re designed by food scientists to look a certain way, feel a certain way in your mouth, smell a certain way when you open the package.” she says, “People aren’t losing control over beans.”
In highly processed snacks, sugar often goes together with fat-a combination that could make such foods even more addictive. For a 2023 study, DeFeliceantonio’s team asked 82 people to snack on either high-fat, high-sugar yogurts or low-sugar, low-fat ones for eight weeks. The scientists discovered not only that the first group’s preference for the healthier yogurts decreased after the trial but that their brain activation patterns changed, too. When tasting fatty, sugary milkshakes, they had an increased response in their reward circuits. “Highly processed foods are controlling the brain in a way you’d see with addiction to drugs,” DeFeliceantonio says.
In 2022,Gearhardt and DeFeliccantonio published an opinion piece in the journal Addiction arguing that highly processed foods should be classified(分类) as addictive. Hebebrand, a psychiatrist at the University of Duisburg-Essen, however, worries that rushing to classify certain foods as addictive could let the sugar industry make an easy escape. It may be following “the playbook of the tobacco industry.” After all, there was no clear proof that nicotine(尼古丁) was addictive, either: researchers didn’t know the dosage(剂量) at which it became addictive. As a result, the addictive nature of tobacco was opposed for decades. Considering highly processed foods’ harmful health effects, Gearhardt argues that it’s better to risk misclassifying highly processed foods as addictive than to fail to label (贴标签) them as such. “It’s cigarettes all over again.” She says.
32 What does paragraph 2 suggest
A. Processed foods are tastier than natural ones.
B. Beans are much healthier than processed foods.
C. People can become addicted to processed foods.
D. The design of processed foods takes great effort.
33. According to the 2023 study, those eating high-fat, high-sugar yogurts have ________.
A. decreased response to healthy foods in reward system
B. increased likelihood of developing addiction to drugs
C. increased difficulty in activating the brain with drugs
D. decreased interest in highly processed snacks
34. What is Hebebrand ‘s attitude towards classifying sugar addictive
A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
35. What does Gearhardt mean by saying “It’s cigarettes all over again.”
A. It’s time we labeled tobacco as addictive.
B. The market will be filled with processed foods.
C. we should classify sugar as addictive before it’s too late.
D. It’s a mistake to have misclassified cigarettes as addictive.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了最近的研究表明，每天吃加工食品会重新连接大脑的奖励回路，会对加工食品上瘾。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist at the University of Michigan, argues that highly Processed foods, very high in fat and carbohydrate, don’t exist naturally. “They’re designed by food scientists to look a certain way, feel a certain way in your mouth, smell a certain way when you open the package.” she says, “People aren’t losing control over beans.””（密歇根大学临床心理学家阿什利·吉尔哈特(Ashley Gearhardt)认为，高脂肪和高碳水化合物的高度加工食品并不是自然存在的。“它们是由食品科学家设计的，当你打开包装时，它们看起来有某种特定的方式，在嘴里有某种特定的感觉，闻到某种特定的味道。她说，“人们并没有失去对豆子的控制。”）并联系第三段的“In highly processed snacks, sugar often goes together with fat-a combination that could make such foods even more addictive. (在高度加工的零食中，糖经常和脂肪混在一起，这一组合会使这些食物更容易上瘾。)”可以推断出人们会对加工食品上瘾。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“For a 2023 study, DeFeliceantonio’s team asked 82 people to snack on either high-fat, high-sugar yogurts or low-sugar, low-fat ones for eight weeks. The scientists discovered not only that the first group’s preference for the healthier yogurts decreased after the trial but that their brain activation patterns changed, too.When tasting fatty, sugary milkshakes, they had an increased response in their reward circuits.”（在2023年的一项研究中，DeFeliceantonio的团队要求82人在八周内食用高脂肪、高糖的酸奶或低糖、低脂的酸奶。科学家们发现，不仅第一组人对健康酸奶的偏好在试验后下降了，而且他们的大脑活动模式也发生了变化。当品尝高脂肪、含糖的奶昔时，他们的奖励回路反应增强。）可知，根据2023年的研究，那些吃高脂肪、高糖酸奶的人对奖励系统中健康食品的反应降低。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Hebebrand, a psychiatrist at the University of Duisburg-Essen, however, worries that rushing to classify certain foods as addictive could let the sugar industry make an easy escape. It may be following “the playbook of the tobacco industry.” After all, there was no clear proof that nicotine(尼古丁) was addictive, either: researchers didn’t know the dosage(剂量) at which it became addictive. As a result, the addictive nature of tobacco was opposed for decades.”（然而，杜伊斯堡-埃森大学的精神病学家Hebebrand担心，急于将某些食物归类为成瘾食品可能会让制糖业轻松逃脱。它可能是在遵循“烟草业的剧本”。毕竟，没有明确的证据表明尼古丁会上瘾，研究人员也不知道尼古丁上瘾的剂量。因此，烟草的成瘾性被反对了几十年。）可推知，Hebebrand对糖上瘾归类的态度是谨慎的。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Considering highly processed foods’ harmful health effects, Gearhardt argues that it’s better to risk misclassifying highly processed foods as addictive than to fail to label (贴标签) them as such. “It’s cigarettes all over again.” She says.”（考虑到深加工食品对健康的有害影响，Gearhardt认为，与其不给深加工食品贴上这样的标签，还不如冒险将其错误地归类为成瘾性食品。“香烟又来了。”她说。）可推知，Gearhardt说的“香烟又来了”意思是我们应该趁早把糖归类为成瘾性食物。故选C项。

There you were, sitting in a classroom, practicing writing letters and words. Maybe you were printing (手写印剧字体) them, or maybe you were learning cursive (草体). At some point, you probably asked yourself, “Why do I need to know how to write when all 1 need is to press the keys on a computer ” ___36___ It also helps you remember the information that you write down.
___37___ Actually, beginner printing is usually very messy, and sometimes we cannot even tell what the letters are. Also, the shape of each letter can change each time a child tries to write it. But remember that every time a child sees a letter that looks a little different but still has the same name, it helps the child’s brain to learn that letter.
Research has also shown that if you wrote something by hand, you would remember it better than if you typed it on your computer! Why does this happen ___38___ But speed may be the problem! When we type information, we tend to type exactly what the teacher is saying. Without thinking about it. Writing by hand takes longer, so we cannot record everything the teacher says. When writing, we tend to put things into our own words or summarize what the teacher says. ___39___
In summary, writing by hand can help you learn new things like letters, but it also allows you to remember information better than if you typed it. It does not matter how you write—printing, cursive, abbreviations (宿写).___40___ So, keep writing!
A. That makes things a lot easier.
B. It just matters that you write by hand.
C. Surely it is quicker to type during a lecture than to write, right
D. What did your printing look like when you first started to write
E. In a way, taking notes by hand is a way of studying while we are learning!
F. Well, in short, writing by hand helps you learn a set of symbols more easily.
G. When people write letters, they actively see and feel the letters being written.

Since my husband worked Monday nights, I arranged for a babysitter. It was a luxury (奢侈) but, at that moment in my life, a necessity.
On Monday, heart pounding, I walked through the park filled with women of all ages practicing. It took me a while to find my team. They were all high-school girls, seventeen and eighteen years old! I waited a couple of minutes before approaching the coach. He had put together top athletes for his team, and he didn’t want some old lady messing things up. He looked me over. His girls had fine gloves and metal cleats (棒球钉鞋). They looked like players. I had no glove and wore an old T-shirt and gym shoes. I didn’t care. I wanted to play.
