At the airprt, a security (安全) prblem left my wife Cherié and me in a huge line, waiting t fly hme t
Cincinnati. Just as we accepted the wait, I wrried a lt: I’d left ur new camera, which cst $1, 500, in the rental car. I rushed t call the taxi cmpany, and t my relief, they said the driver was cming t return the camera. When meeting me, he even turned dwn the reward I ffered. When I gt the camera and returned t the line t wait, the crwd had grwn even bigger. I was sure I’d miss ur flight.
Then a security fficer walked ver, smiling. “Peple like yu have a special entrance — n need t wait in line,” he said, gesturing fr me t fllw. He explained this special channel (通道) was set up t keep crwds rderly, and then he talked excitedly abut my “mvies” — Sl: A Star Wars Stry, Champins and Nw Yu
See Me. That’s when I realized: he thught I was Wdy Harrelsn, an actr I’m always mistaken fr. When he asked abut the Champins cast, I laughed and said I hadn’t seen them in frever.
As we reached a private security rm, fear hit — I didn’t want truble frm the mix-up. I tried t shw my ID, but he waved it ff. “Peple like yu use false names, right?” he said. I quickly said the first name that came t mind: “Karl Haffner”. Later I realized Karl and Wdy share strange similarities — the same hmetwn, height, even eating nly plants. Befre I knew it, I was thrugh security and waiting at the gate with the camera.
Cherié lked at me with wide eyes, saying, “Hw did yu cut the line?” I smiled bradly, hlding up the camera. “Call me Wdy—I gt thrugh the airprt’s special channel fr public figures,” I said. She rlled her eyes but laughed when I tld her the stry. T this day, I still feel special, fr the happy mistake that reminded me: life’s best mments aren’t planned. A little mix-up and lts f laughter are all yu need t make a trip unfrgettable.
Why did the authr phne the taxi cmpany?

C. T return the rental camera.D. T express thanks fr the service.
What happened t the authr when he was waiting in line again?

What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A Ging with the FlwB. Believing in Strangers
C. Enjying a Happy MistakeD. Buying a Ticket t Life
A majr reasn why plastic bags and ygurt cntainers aren’t recycled is that it’s much mre frugal t make these prducts frm the grund up than t recycle them. Hwever, a new recycling technique prmises a cst-effective way t turn these cmmn plastic waste items int high-quality liquid fuels.
What makes plastics useful, namely their strength and resistance t high temperatures, becmes an annyance when it cmes t recycling the materials. The strng carbn-carbn bnds in these plastics requires very high temperatures t break, making the prcess energy-cnsuming. Once the bnds break, the smaller mlecules (分子) quickly frm new bnds, resulting in unwanted chemicals. These byprducts then have t be brken dwn again,
adding time and cmplexity.
Researchers develped a way t transfrm these plastics int useful fuels at temperatures belw 100℃, withut creating any side prducts. They cnduct the chemical reactin in the presence f a new type f catalyst (化剂) in a special acidic slutin. In these reactin cnditins, as sn as the carbn bnds in the plastic break apart, new bnds frm in a cntrlled way, giving ff the chemicals called alkanes. The alkanes can be used either as a fuel r as raw material fr new plastics. The entire reactin takes place in a single reactin cntainer. It takes nly three hurs and ccurs at 70℃. By cmparisn, existing recycling techniques typically require tw stages, take much mre time, and need temperatures f ver 200°C.
Up t nw, this catalyst has been used in sme factries. But it will take mre research t knw whether the technique can be translated t mre ccasins. If s, such a lw-cst methd t turn single-use plastics int high-value materials culd g a lng way in making the plastic ecnmy sustainable.
What des the underlined wrd “frugal” mean in paragraph 1?
A. typical.B. expensive.C. inexpensive.D. reasnable.
What can we knw abut plastics frm paragraph 2?
They stretch easily and quickly.B. They are prductive in pisnus gases.
C. They fail t resist heat perfectly.D. They are stable in chemical prperties.
What des the new way f recycling plastics feature?
Keeping new bnds frm frming.B. Cntrlling acidity f the slutin.
C. Stressing cleanliness and speed.D. Extending functins f plastics.
What is researchers’ attitude tward the technique’s wide applicatin?
A. Cautius.B. Hpeless.C. Critical.D. Optimistic.
Picture this, yu win tw tickets t a sld-ut cncert and eagerly text t ask yur friends if they’d like t jin. There cmes their respnse “Maybe.” Yur md immediately turns, fr yu need t wait fr their decisins befre
yu can figure ut yur plans fr the cncert.
If yu’ve experienced anything like the abve anecdte (趣闻), yu’re nt alne. Peple respnding “maybe” t invitatins is a cmmn yet annying aspect f scial life. What ges n in peple’s heads when they aren’t sure whether t accept an invitatin? Scial invitatins can be a delicate dance. Peple ften misread what smene
extending an invitatin wants t hear and verestimate an inviter’s likelihd f preferring a “maybe” ver a “n.” Mrever, they fail t realize hw much mre disrespected peple feel when they receive a “maybe” in respnse t their invitatin.
Naturally, we wanted t figure ut why this awkward dynamic plays ut. We fund that it’s largely due t smething called “mtivated reasning.” Mtivated reasning ccurs when a persn interprets infrmatin in a biased (有偏差的) way t suit their wn wishes. In ther wrds, invitees cnvince themselves that inviters want t hear “maybe” instead f “n” because a “maybe” is better fr the invitees, allwing them t leave their ptins
pen. Besides, peple tend t verestimate the negative cnsequences f saying “n” t invitatins, thinking it will upset, anger and disappint inviters.
Hwever, there were certain situatins that made peple mre cmfrtable saying “n” t an invitatin. When recipients f an invitatin put themselves in the shes f the persn extending the invitatin, they are mre likely t realize that they’d prbably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited t d smething they didn’t want t d, they had n desire t keep their ptins pen. The mtivated reasning then became irrelevant.
While navigating scial situatins can be tricky, being direct and definite is smetimes best. It might reduce yur ptins. But it’ll keep thse wh invite yu frm being left uncertain and maybe they will still think f yu when the next cncert cmes t twn.
Why is the cncert anecdte mentined at the beginning?
T explain the backgrund f the invitatin.
T stress the imprtance f quick replies.
T encurage immediate decisin- making.
T intrduce a cmmn scial situatin.
What is the main reasn fr the respnse f “maybe” t an invitatin?
A biased interpretatin f scial cues.
A desire fr harmnius cmmunicatin.
An underestimatin f refusal cnsequence.
An understanding f the inviter’s expectatin.
What is the authr’s suggestin in the last paragraph?
Keeping yur ptins pen fr better plans.
Accepting invitatins t maintain friendships.
Priritizing clear respnse ver pen ptins.
Thinking twice befre refusing an invitatin.
What’s the passage’s main purpse?
T explre why peple say “maybe” and advcate clear replies.
T explain the hidden cnsequences f “maybe” in scial invitatins.
T discuss the awkwardness f uncertain replies and share advice.
T keep ptins pen by changing replies frm “n” t “maybe”.

We all knw that eating t much sugar isn’t gd fr us, as its cnsumptin is linked t health dangers like besity, heart disease, and cancer. Reducing sugar intake nt nly helps yu avid the harm f vercnsumptin.
16
The first thing t understand is that nt all sugar is bad fr yu because there’s a big difference between natural sugars and added sugars. 17 They prvide energy and sweetness, urging us t eat fd rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients that ffset the sugar. Fr instance, a medium mang has ver 20g f natural sugar but plenty f fiber fr absrptin.
18 Added during prcessing, cking r at the table, they’re listed as “added sugars” n labels, with ver 200 names like “hney” r “crn syrup”. What’s wrse, added sugars ffer n meaningful nutrients — they’ re “empty calries”. 19 T much intake raises risks f immune system disrders, high bld pressure and ver a dzen cancers. A 2023 study links 35% mre added sugar t 65% higher risk f heart disease and a 10% higher risk f strke. They als feed harmful gut bacteria, causing inflammatin and mental health issues.
Cutting added sugars bsts quality f life. It lwers depressin risk, enhances fcus befre tests, reduces acne fr better skin, and calms the brain fr better sleep. 20 Yu benefit frm permanent reductin, but even temprary cuts wrk — 8 weeks f a lw-sugar diet imprves teens’ liver health, and type 2 diabetes als drps rapidly.
Many struggle t cut sugar due t strng desires.
Added sugars, hwever, are a whlly different stry.
Imprtantly, the benefits can appear in a very shrt time.
Prcessed fds ften hide huge amunts f added sugars.
Mrever, it brings surprising benefits yu will enjy sn.
Their true danger lies in the harm they d t bdily systems.
Natural sugars in bread, fruit and milk are naturally existing.

At the airprt, a security (安全) prblem left my wife Cherié and me in a huge line, waiting t fly hme t Cincinnati. Just as we accepted the wait, I wrried a lt: I’d left ur new camera, which cst $1, 500, in the rental car. I rushed t call the taxi cmpany, and t my relief, they said the driver was cming t return the camera. When
meeting me, he even turned dwn the reward I ffered. When I gt the camera and returned t the line t wait, the crwd had grwn even bigger. I was sure I’d miss ur flight.
Then a security fficer walked ver, smiling. “Peple like yu have a special entrance — n need t wait in line,” he said, gesturing fr me t fllw. He explained this special channel (通道) was set up t keep crwds rderly, and then he talked excitedly abut my “mvies” — Sl: A Star Wars Stry, Champins and Nw Yu
See Me. That’s when I realized: he thught I was Wdy Harrelsn, an actr I’m always mistaken fr. When he asked abut the Champins cast, I laughed and said I hadn’t seen them in frever.
As we reached a private security rm, fear hit — I didn’t want truble frm the mix-up. I tried t shw my ID, but he waved it ff. “Peple like yu use false names, right?” he said. I quickly said the first name that came t
mind: “Karl Haffner”. Later I realized Karl and Wdy share strange similarities — the same hmetwn, height,
even eating nly plants. Befre I knew it, I was thrugh security and waiting at the gate with the camera.
Cherié lked at me with wide eyes, saying, “Hw did yu cut the line?” I smiled bradly, hlding up the camera. “Call me Wdy—I gt thrugh the airprt’s special channel fr public figures,” I said. She rlled her eyes but laughed when I tld her the stry. T this day, I still feel special, fr the happy mistake that reminded me: life’s best mments aren’t planned. A little mix-up and lts f laughter are all yu need t make a trip unfrgettable.

A majr reasn why plastic bags and ygurt cntainers aren’t recycled is that it’s much mre frugal t make these prducts frm the grund up than t recycle them. Hwever, a new recycling technique prmises a cst-effective way t turn these cmmn plastic waste items int high-quality liquid fuels.
What makes plastics useful, namely their strength and resistance t high temperatures, becmes an annyance when it cmes t recycling the materials. The strng carbn-carbn bnds in these plastics requires very high temperatures t break, making the prcess energy-cnsuming. Once the bnds break, the smaller mlecules (分子) quickly frm new bnds, resulting in unwanted chemicals. These byprducts then have t be brken dwn again,
adding time and cmplexity.
Researchers develped a way t transfrm these plastics int useful fuels at temperatures belw 100℃, withut creating any side prducts. They cnduct the chemical reactin in the presence f a new type f catalyst (化剂) in a special acidic slutin. In these reactin cnditins, as sn as the carbn bnds in the plastic break apart, new bnds frm in a cntrlled way, giving ff the chemicals called alkanes. The alkanes can be used either as a fuel r as raw material fr new plastics. The entire reactin takes place in a single reactin cntainer. It takes nly three hurs and ccurs at 70℃. By cmparisn, existing recycling techniques typically require tw stages, take much mre time, and need temperatures f ver 200°C.
Up t nw, this catalyst has been used in sme factries. But it will take mre research t knw whether the technique can be translated t mre ccasins. If s, such a lw-cst methd t turn single-use plastics int high-value materials culd g a lng way in making the plastic ecnmy sustainable.
What des the underlined wrd “frugal” mean in paragraph 1?
A. typical.B. expensive.C. inexpensive.D. reasnable.
What can we knw abut plastics frm paragraph 2?
They stretch easily and quickly.B. They are prductive in pisnus gases.
C. They fail t resist heat perfectly.D. They are stable in chemical prperties.
What des the new way f recycling plastics feature?
Keeping new bnds frm frming.B. Cntrlling acidity f the slutin.
C. Stressing cleanliness and speed.D. Extending functins f plastics.
What is researchers’ attitude tward the technique’s wide applicatin?
A. Cautius.B. Hpeless.C. Critical.D. Optimistic.
【答案】8. C9. D10. C11. A

如果可以实现推广，这种能将一次性塑料转化为高价值材料的低成本方法，将对推动塑料经济实现可持续
发展大有帮助。)”可知，研究人员认为该技术能否广泛应用还需要更多研究，他们的态度是谨慎的。故选
A。
Picture this, yu win tw tickets t a sld-ut cncert and eagerly text t ask yur friends if they’d like t jin. There cmes their respnse “Maybe.” Yur md immediately turns, fr yu need t wait fr their decisins befre yu can figure ut yur plans fr the cncert.
If yu’ve experienced anything like the abve anecdte (趣闻), yu’re nt alne. Peple respnding “maybe” t invitatins is a cmmn yet annying aspect f scial life. What ges n in peple’s heads when they aren’t sure whether t accept an invitatin? Scial invitatins can be a delicate dance. Peple ften misread what smene
extending an invitatin wants t hear and verestimate an inviter’s likelihd f preferring a “maybe” ver a “n.” Mrever, they fail t realize hw much mre disrespected peple feel when they receive a “maybe” in respnse t their invitatin.
Naturally, we wanted t figure ut why this awkward dynamic plays ut. We fund that it’s largely due t smething called “mtivated reasning.” Mtivated reasning ccurs when a persn interprets infrmatin in a biased (有偏差的) way t suit their wn wishes. In ther wrds, invitees cnvince themselves that inviters want t hear “maybe” instead f “n” because a “maybe” is better fr the invitees, allwing them t leave their ptins
pen. Besides, peple tend t verestimate the negative cnsequences f saying “n” t invitatins, thinking it will upset, anger and disappint inviters.
Hwever, there were certain situatins that made peple mre cmfrtable saying “n” t an invitatin. When recipients f an invitatin put themselves in the shes f the persn extending the invitatin, they are mre likely t realize that they’d prbably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited t d smething they didn’t want t d, they had n desire t keep their ptins pen. The mtivated reasning then became irrelevant.
While navigating scial situatins can be tricky, being direct and definite is smetimes best. It might reduce yur ptins. But it’ll keep thse wh invite yu frm being left uncertain and maybe they will still think f yu when the next cncert cmes t twn.
Why is the cncert anecdte mentined at the beginning?
T explain the backgrund f the invitatin.
T stress the imprtance f quick replies.
T encurage immediate decisin- making.
T intrduce a cmmn scial situatin.
What is the main reasn fr the respnse f “maybe” t an invitatin?
A biased interpretatin f scial cues.
A desire fr harmnius cmmunicatin.
An underestimatin f refusal cnsequence.
An understanding f the inviter’s expectatin.
What is the authr’s suggestin in the last paragraph?
Keeping yur ptins pen fr better plans.
Accepting invitatins t maintain friendships.
Priritizing clear respnse ver pen ptins.
Thinking twice befre refusing an invitatin.
What’s the passage’s main purpse?
T explre why peple say “maybe” and advcate clear replies.
T explain the hidden cnsequences f “maybe” in scial invitatins.
T discuss the awkwardness f uncertain replies and share advice.
T keep ptins pen by changing replies frm “n” t “maybe”.
【答案】12. D13. A14. C15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了人们收到邀请时回复“Maybe (可能)”这一常见社交现象，分析其背后原因及特定应对情况，并给出直接回应的建议。
【12 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段讲述演唱会门票邀请朋友得到“可能”回复的趣闻后，第二段紧接着指出“If yu’ ve experienced anything like the abve anecdte (趣闻), yu’re nt alne. Peple respnding ‘maybe’ t invitatins is a cmmn yet annying aspect f scial life. (如果你有过类似上述趣闻的经历，你并不孤单。人们对邀请回复‘可能’是社交生活中常见却令人困扰的一个方面。)” 由此可见，开篇的演唱会趣闻是为了引出“对邀请回复‘可能’”这一常见社交场景。故选 D。
【13 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“We fund that it’s largely due t smething called “mtivated reasning.” Mtivated reasning ccurs when a persn interprets infrmatin in a biased (有偏差的) way t suit their wn wishes. (我们发现，这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的。当一个人以偏见的方式解读信息以满足自己的愿望时，就会发生动机性推理。)” 可知，对邀请回复“可能”的主要原因是受邀者存在偏见性的
信息解读，即对社交线索的偏见性理解。故选 A。
【14 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While navigating scial situatins can be tricky, being direct and definite is smetimes best. It might reduce yur ptins. But it’ll keep thse wh invite yu frm being left uncertain (虽然应对社交场合可能很棘手，但直接明确有时是最好的选择。这可能会减少你的选择，但它会让那些邀请你的人不会陷入不确定的境地)” 可知，作者建议优先选择明确的回复，而非保留选择余地。故选 C。
【15 题详解】
推理判断题。文章开篇引入“可能”回复的社交现象，第三段明确“We wanted t figure ut why this awkward dynamic plays ut. We fund that it’s largely due t smething called “mtivated reasning.” (我们想弄清楚这种尴尬的互动为什么会发生。我们发现，这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的)”，即核心部分在探索人们说“可能”的原因；最后一段则提出“being direct and definite is smetimes best (直接明确有时是最好的选择)”，由此可知，文章目的是倡导明确回复。故选 A。

【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者原本认为自己的社区宁静友好，但汤普森先生搬来后打破了这份平静。汤普森先生停车挡住作者车道、其狗日夜吠叫，作者多次沟通无果，两人还发生激烈争吵，邻里关系恶化。直到一天，作者看到汤普森先生搬重物吃力，故事迎来转机。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他似乎要把它掉下去了。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到汤普森先生搬重物艰难，内心会因过往矛盾产生纠结，但善良本性可能促使他决定帮忙，从而有机会与汤普森先生近距离接触，为后续交流和解埋下伏笔。
②由第二段首句内容“当我们站在他的客厅里时，汤普森先生打破了沉默”可知，第二段可描写进入室内后，汤普森先生主动打破沉默，接下来应是双方进行深入交流，汤普森先生解释之前行为的原因，消除误会，修复邻里关系。
续写线索：看到汤普森先生搬重物吃力，内心纠结（因过往矛盾不想帮忙，但善良本性促使帮忙）—决定帮忙并一起将重物搬进室内—进入室内后汤普森先生打破沉默开始解释 —双方交流，汤普森先生说明之前行为原因（如术后恢复导致情绪不佳）—作者理解并反思自己的判断—双方消除误会，邻里关系改善。
