Yang Li, a native Mia wman passinate abut embridery, wns a flk culture prducts shp that sells Mia embridery, batik clth, and silver jewelry. At first, the small shp struggled as there were many similar prducts n the market. Yang realized the need fr a unique brand t stand ut frm the cmpetitin. During a hike in Fanjing Muntain in July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand n a thrny leaf. This gave her an idea; “There are leaf-vein bkmarks and leaf-vein paintings. Why has nbdy created leaf-vein embridery yet?”
Obviusly, the reasn behind this is that embridering n leaves requires delicate skills that few pssess. Yang Li cllected thusands f leaves frm Fanjing Muntain and prcessed them by steaming, biling, and tanning them t expse their veins. While the leaves becme sft, they are als extremely fragile. The biggest challenge was imprving the flexibility f the leaves. After cnsulting lcal expert Shen Min, she learned that saking them in acidic water culd make them tugh enugh fr embridery.
Thrugh cntinuus learning and practice, she succeeded in creating her first piece f leaf-vein embridery, which perfectly cmbines traditinal embridery patterns with the natural textures f the leaves. By adding traditinal designs frm the Mia, Tujia, and Dng ethnic grups, she prduced art that exhibits a unique aesthetic appeal f traditinal embridery with cntemprary craftsmanship. Yang ntes that typically, nly thse with decades f embridery experience can independently cmplete the entire leaf-embridery prcess, which is fewer than 20 peple in Tngren frm 2011 t nw.
Tw years later, Yang pened an embridery prcessing factry and ffered jbs t mre than 500 laid-ff female wrkers, rural wmen, and peple with disabilities. “Guizhu is a prvince with a large number f ethnic grups and has a lng histry f ethnic embridery skills,” she says. “I will keep ding the leaf-vein embridery fr the rest f my life because it is meaningful.”
24．What inspired Yang Li t create leaf-vein embridery?
A．Her lve fr Mia embridery.B．The discvery f a special leaf.
C．An accidental injury t her hand.D．A decrease in her shp’s earnings.
25．What is the biggest challenge fr Yang Li?
A．Sftening the leaves.B．Expsing veins f leaves.
C．Cllecting suitable leaves.D．Making leaves mre flexible.
26．What d we knw abut Yang Li’s leaf-vein embridery?
A．It is cstly t cmplete a single piece.
B．It is well-received by internatinal cnsumers.
C．It is demanding fr cperatin between craftsmen.
D．It is a unique cmbinatin f artistic elements.
27．Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe Yang Li?
A．Creative and dedicated.B．Ambitius and cautius.
C．Passinate and humrus.D．Optimistic and cnsiderate.
Is mdern fruit cultivated (培育) t be sweeter than in the past? The shrt answer is yes, thugh the lnger answer is mre cmplicated. Sme f the mst pwerful evidence that fruit is sweeter than befre cmes frm zs.
In 2018, it was reprted that Melbume Z in Australia had stpped giving fruit t mst f its animals because cultivated fruit was nw s sweet that it was causing tth decay (蛀牙) and weight gain. The mnkeys at the z were prvided with a lwer-sugar vegetable-based diet instead f bananas.
Amng fruit cultivatrs, the wrd “quality” is nw rutinely used as an equal fr “high in sugar” (thugh firmness, clr and size are als cnsideratins). In 2010, in an article lking at ways t enhance the sweetness f fruit using “mlecuiar (分子的) appraches”, a grup f plant scientists f the Republic f Krea wrte that “in general, the sugar cntent” f many fruits is nw higher than befre “wing t cntinuus selectin and breeding”. Mdern apple varieties, the scientists nted, were n average sweeter than lder nes.
Cultivatin isn’t the nly reasn that mdern fruit is sweeter; there’s als climate change. Research frm Japan fund that since the 1970s, with rising temperatures, Fuji apples (which were already a sweet variety) have becme significantly sweeter and sfter. The lead researcher, Tshihk Sugiura, said that “if yu culd taste an apple harvested 30 years ag, yu wuld feel the difference”.
It is smetimes claimed that the sweetness f mdern fruit is nt due t higher sugar cntent s much as the fact that the bitterness and surness f wild fruit have been steadily cultivated ut f it. There’s a grain — but nly a grain — f truth in this. Studies f wild apples d indeed suggest that sme ancient varieties were just as high in sugar as a mdern Pink Lady r Hneycrisp. The difference is that there was much wider variatin in sugar cntent acrss wild apples, whereas the mdern supermarket apple seldm drps belw a certain level f sweetness.
28．Why did Melburne Z stp giving fruit t mst f its animals?
A．The animals preferred a vegetable- based diet.
B．Mdern fruit did great harm t animals’ teeth.
C．The sugar cntent f mdern fruit is lwer than befre.
D．The flavr f mdern fruit was nt gd fr the animals.
29．What can we learn frm paragraph 3?
A．The sugar cntent is breeders’ first pririty.
B．Sweeter fruits are just a result f natural selectin.
C．The sweetness f mdern apples is equal t the average f lder nes.
D．Mlecular appraches are adpted t add the sweetness f mdern fruit.
30．What d studies f wild apples in the last paragraph suggest?
A．Apples f ld species tasted less sweet.
B．The sugar cntent f wild apples varied greatly.
C．The sweetness f mdern apples is f the same level.
D．Fruit is sweet because bitterness in it has disappeared.
31．What’s the best title fr this passage?
A．Mdern r Old: Which Is Better?
B．Mdern Fruit: Sweetness Is Quality.
C．Fruit Is Sweeter: It’s Nt a Miscnceptin.
D．Melburne Z: Animals Stp Eating Fruits.
Yu see a fantastic ffer, like a htel rm. Yu decide t bk. Then it turns ut there is a service fee. Then a cleaning fee. Then a few ther extra csts. By the time yu pay the final price, it is n lnger the fantastic ffer yu thught.
Welcme t the wrld f drip pricing — the practice f prmting smething at an attractive headline price and then, nce yu’ve cmmitted t the purchase prcess, hitting yu with unavidable add-ns that are “dripped”.
In mst cases, yu see thrugh all additinally added mandatry fees, and even thugh yu culd relinquish the deal, yu chse t bite the bullet and cmplete the deal. Resistance t the idea f starting the search all ver again is nt simply a matter f laziness r indecisin. There’s a prfund psychlgical mechanism at play here, called the present bias.
In the paper, Ding It Nw r Later, ecnmist Matthew Rabin defines peple’s present-biased preference via an example f chsing between ding seven hurs f unpleasant activity n April 1 r eight hurs tw weeks later: If asked n February 1, mst peple will chse the earlier ptin. But cme April 1, given the same chice, mst f us tend t put ff wrk till April 15. In simple terms, the incnvenience f ding smething “right nw” ften feels disprprtinately large. Beynd the challenge f starting ver, there’s anther psychlgical phenmenn that drip pricing uses - lss aversin. Imagine yu’re bking tickets fr a shw. Initially attracted by the headline price, yu’re nw presented with different seating categries. Seeing a VIP ticket is within yur budget, yu decide t frk ut. But then, during the checkut prcess, the drip begins. Yu realize yu culd have chsen lwer-categry seats, but by this stage, yu’ve already imagined yurself enjying the shw frm thse nice seats. Ging back t a cheaper seat will feel like a lss.
Buyers wuld benefit frm a ban n drip pricing. Many cuntries are taking steps t prtect cnsumers frm drip pricing. The effectiveness f such measures, hwever, is uncertain. Nnetheless, yu can hpefully make a mre infrmed decisin by understanding why the strategy wrks.
32．Which f the fllwing is an example f drip pricing?
A．FlightHub intrduces a bnus after yu chse their flight.
B．Airbnb ffers yu a membership accunt when yu bk a trip.
C．Rent-A-Car charges wear and tear fees beynd the advertised price.
D．Ticketmaster prvides ptinal items at later stages f yur purchase.
33．What des the underlined wrd “relinquish” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Reach.B．Abandn.C．Sign.D．Expand.
34．Hw will Rabin explain peple’s refusal t cancel an rder and remake ne?
A．Peple are likely t blindly stick t their initial intentins.
B．Peple like t grab earlier rewards and delay immediate csts.
C．Peple struggle t make a decisin amng multiple chices.
D．Peple tend t tlerate additinal csts within their budget.
35．What is the authr’s main purpse in writing the text?
A．T explain why peple fall int the drip pricing trick.
B．T educate custmers n hw t deal with drip pricing.
C．T call n gvernments t prtect cnsumers’ interests.
D．T intrduce tw psychlgical phenmena abut spending.
三、七选五
36．There is little, it seems, that peple wn’t d fr their pets. Americans spent $186bn n them last year, accrding t the Bureau f Ecnmic Analysis, cvering everything frm fd and vet visits t tys and grming. That is mre than they spent n childcare.
① Mars, a cmpany best knwn fr its chclate bars, made tw-thirds f its revenue last year frm pet care. Besides wning the Ryal Canin pet-fd brand, the cmpany als perates thusands f vet clinics. Nestle and Clgate, tw ther cnsumer-prducts giants, als make arund a fifth f their revenue frm their pet market.
Spending n pets rcketed thrugh the COVID-19 pandemic. ② Between 2019 and 2023, pet spending grew by a cmpund annual rate f 11%, in nminal terms, cmpared with 6% fr cnsumer spending verall and 5% fr pet spending ver the preceding decade. ③________
Unlike virtual yga classes r meal-kit subscriptins, animals weren’t easy t drp nce lckdwns ended. Cnsumers, wrestling lately with higher prices and a cling jb market, have been reluctant t emply tight budgets n their pets. Mrgan Stanley, a bank, estimates pet spending in America, cmpared with ther persnal expenses, will grw by 2.5% this year. ④ The pet business prved similarly strng during the glbal financial crisis f 2007-2009.
And analysts hld the pet business will sn g viral again. Mrgan Stanley frecasts that annual spending will rise t arund $260bn by 2030, cnsistent with its pre-pandemic grwth trend. ⑤ Owners increasingly see themselves as parents, nt masters. “Pets have gne frm the backyard t the living rm t the bedrm,” says Lic Mutault, head f the pet divisin at Mars.
A．Plenty mre grwth is yet t cme.
B．Catering t pets has becme big business.
C．Owners are nw giving their pets yummier fd.
D．That is attracting plenty f newcmers t the pet industry.
E．It is well ahead f estimates fr ther spending like clthes.
F．Lnely peple adpted animals and invested heavily in them at that time.
G．Behind that is a shift in the relatinship between pets and humans.

And Jhnny tried s hard t walk using his walker fr finishing the last minutes f the Irnman cmpetitin, s he may step ver the finishing line with his father. ”I wanted t fulfill his dreams," Lauri said.
The race began with a 2.4-mile swim in the Chptank River. Lauri helped Jhnny int a kayak. With ne end f a rpe tied t his waist and the ther end t the kayak, Lauri eased himself int the water. Swimming while dragging anther persn is tugh enugh. The pair cmpleted the swim in 90 minutes, and it was n t the next leg: a 112-mile bicycle ride.

(经济学家马修·拉宾在论文《现在做还是以后做》中，通过一个在4月1日做7小时不愉快的活动，还是在两周后做8小时不愉快的活动之间进行选择的例子，定义了人们对现在的偏好：如果在2月1日被问及这个问题，大多数人会选择更早的选项。但到了4月1日，如果面临同样的选择，我们大多数人倾向于把工作推迟到4月15日。)”可知，拉宾通过一个例子来解释人们拒绝取消订单并重新下单的原因，这个例子是选择在4月1日做7个小时的不愉快活动，还是在两周后做8个小时的活动。这表明人们喜欢提前获得奖励并推迟立即的成本。故选B。
35．答案：A

(欢迎来到滴漏式定价的世界——一种以吸引人的标题价格促销商品的做法，然后，一旦你承诺购买过程，就会用不可避免的“滴漏式”附加条款来打击你。)和最后一段中“Buyers wuld benefit frm a ban n drip pricing. Many cuntries are taking steps t prtect cnsumers frm drip pricing.

(买家将从滴漏式定价禁令中受益。许多国家正在采取措施保护消费者免受滴漏式定价的影响。然而，这些措施的有效性尚不确定。尽管如此，你还是可以通过理解为什么这个策略有效而做出更明智的决定。)”可知，文章主要介绍了滴漏式定价的策略，解释了为什么人们会落入这种定价策略的陷阱，并讨论了禁止滴漏式定价的措施。因此，作者的主要目的是解释为什么人们会落入滴漏式定价的陷阱。故选A。

(根据美国经济分析局的数据，去年美国人在宠物上的支出为1860亿美元，涵盖了从食品、兽医到玩具和美容的方方面面。这比他们花在儿童保育上的钱还多。)”可知，上文提到美国人去年在宠物上的花费巨大，超过了托儿服务的支出。本空要强调宠物经济的繁荣，B选项“Catering t pets has becme big business. (照顾宠物已经成为大生意)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选B。
②根据上文“Spending n pets rcketed thrugh the COVID-19 pandemic.(在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，宠物支出飙升。)”可知，上文提到疫情期间宠物支出激增，本空要解释这一现象的原因；F选项“Lnely peple adpted animals and invested heavily in them at that time. (孤独的人们在那段时间收养了动物并大量投资在它们身上)”解释了疫情期间宠物支出增长的原因，能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。

(2019年至2023年期间，宠物支出的名义复合年增长率为11%，而在过去十年中，整体消费者支出的增长率为6%，宠物支出的增长率为5%。)”可知，上文提到宠物支出的增长率远高于整体消费支出和过去十年的宠物支出增长率。本空要展望未来的增长趋势，因此，A选项“Plenty mre grwth is yet t cme. (还有更多的增长即将到来)”能承接上文，引出未来的增长预测，符合题意。故选A。
④根据上文“Cnsumers, wrestling lately with higher prices and a cling jb market, have been reluctant t emply tight budgets n their pets.

(最近，消费者正与物价上涨和就业市场降温作斗争，他们不愿在宠物身上投入紧张的预算。摩根斯坦利银行估计，与其他个人开支相比，今年美国的宠物开支将增长2.5%。)”可知，上文提到尽管面临经济压力，宠物支出仍将继续增长。由下文“The pet business prved similarly strng during the glbal financial crisis f 2007-2009. (在2007-2009年的全球金融危机期间，宠物业同样表现强劲。)”可知，宠物经济在过去和未来都表现出强劲的增长势头。本空要进一步突出宠物支出的增长这一点，E选项“It is well ahead f estimates fr ther spending like clthes. (这远远超过了服装等其他支出的估计。)”进一步强调了宠物支出的增长速度，能承上启下，符合题意。故选E。

(业主们越来越把自己视为父母，而不是主人。宠物已经从后院走到客厅，再到卧室，玛氏宠物部主管洛伊克·穆奥特说。)”可知，宠物与人类的关系发生了变化，宠物越来越被视为家庭成员，本空应解释关系发生了变化是增长背后的原因。因此，G选项“Behind that is a shift in the relatinship between pets and humans. (这背后是宠物与人类关系的变化)”引出了对宠物与人类关系变化的讨论，能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。

52．答案：①a②flwed③truly④what⑤than⑥favrite⑦steamed⑧with⑨featuring⑩t meet
解析：①考查冠词。句意：他们大多提供一种独特的粤菜——炒杂烩、芙蓉蛋等。空处应填不定冠词泛指一个，unique以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
②考查动词的时态。句意：在那个世纪和20世纪的大部分时间里，移民主要来自中国的东南地区，主要是广东省。根据时间状语In that century and much f the 20th century可知，句子描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，空处应用动词的过去式形式。故填flwed。
③考查副词。句意：餐馆开始将他们的食物称为“湖南”和“四川”菜，尽管这些菜确实与那些地区所吃的菜肴有很多相似之处，但比起最早期中餐菜单上定义性的甜、油炸食品，它们更加多样化且大胆调味。空处应用副词truly修饰动词bre。故填truly。
④考查主语从句。句意同上。空处引导宾语从句，且在宾语从句中作主语，表示“被吃的东西”，故用连接代词what。故填what。
⑤考查介词。句意同上。根据前面的mre diverse and bldly spiced可知，空处应用than引导比较级结构。故填than。
⑥考查名词。句意：一种极受欢迎的菜品——四川菜，以其极为辛辣的菜肴让食客上瘾。空处应用名词favrite“特别喜爱的事物”在句中作主语，由a可知，应用单数形式。故填favrite。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意：几乎每个小镇都有一家中餐馆，而且一般来说，菜单上的内容都差不多：猪肉蒸饺、酸汤、按照主料列出的炒菜，旁边有一个辣椒图标表示辣度。空处在句中作定语修饰dumplings，动词steam与被修饰词dumplings构成被动关系，应用过去分词的形式。故填steamed。
⑧考查介词。句意同上。空处应用介词with表示“带有”，构成with的复合结构“with+宾语+现在分词”。故填with。
⑨考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，在波士顿，外卖常常配有蘸着甜酱的饺子，这是一种为了迎合食客的新口味而在上曼哈顿开发的特殊菜肴。空处在句中作定语修饰dumplings，动词feature与被修饰词dumplings构成主动关系，应用现在分词的形式。故填featuring。
⑩考查非谓语动词。句意同上。空处应用动词不定式在句中作目的状语。故填t meet。
