　　“I just needed to grow up and grow wiser in order to be the artist I thought I was meant to be，” she said. Instead， Jennifer chose to go on to college — a decision her mother fully supported.
　　Jennifer’s parents were supportive throughout her career and schooling. But her mom was her champion — a constant source of support. Unfortunately， when Jennifer was 24 years old， her mom passed away.
　　“The biggest light and fan was gone， the person who’d reminded me that I was unique and valuable. I was kind of lost，” she said.The next several years grew very dark.She began feeling herself lonely.She felt lifeless and purposeless.

　　We have all experienced the frustration of trying to hold a conversation in a loud restaurant. “In a very noisy restaurant we find ourselves increasing the volume of our voice，” said Pernille S rensen， first author of the latest research published in the journal Current Biology. “Dolphins respond similarly.”
　　Dolphins are social， intelligent animals， relying on clicks and whistles to communicate and using echolocation （回聲定位） to hunt and travel. So noise generated from human activity has a potentially harmful impact on the health of marine populations.
　　The latest study involved a pair of dolphins and looked at how their ability to cooperate was affected by background noise. The dolphins were required to work together to both press their underwater button placed at either end of a lagoon （潟湖） within one second of each other — a task that some humans would struggle to coordinate （協調）.They were released from a starting point during each trial， and in some trials， one of the dolphins was held back for five to 10 seconds. This meant that the dolphins had to rely only on vocal （聲音的） communication to coordinate the button press.
　　When increasing levels of noise were played from an underwater speaker， both dolphins compensated for its influence by changing the volume and length of their calls to coordinate the button press. The dolphins also changed their body language， reorienting （給……重新定位） themselves to face each other more frequently at higher noise levels. From the lowest to highest levels of noise， the dolphins’ success rate dropped from 85％ to 62.5％， according to the research.
　　S rensen said there had been some positive attempts to address the issue， such as the use of bubble-net structures around construction sites to reduce sounds. Some noises， such as ship engines， are more difficult to avoid， but the overall impact could be lessened by better understanding how noise affects marine life and taking this into account. “Maybe there are times of the year that it is better not to be in a certain area，” said S rensen.“So you could reduce traffic at certain times and increase it at others.”
28.What does the author want to explain by mentioning people’s behaviour in a restaurant？
A.How dolphins react to noise. B.Why dolphins are social animals.
C.The way humans protect dolphins from noise. D.The way humans communicate with dolphins.
29.What does the author think of the task of the dolphins in the study？
A.It’s funny. B.It’s dangerous.
C.It’s challenging. D.It’s boring.
30.What does the underlined part “compensated for” in Paragraph 4 mean？
A.Lived up to. B.Made up for.
C.Identified with. D.Depended on.
31.What is S rensen’s suggestion for protecting marine life？
A.Improving ocean-going ships.
B.Reducing construction sites in the sea.
C.Promoting bubble-net structures in the ocean.
D.Arranging shipment in certain areas at the right time.

　　Chocolate is delicious — that’s a fact backed up by research.The question， really， is why a bite into its delicious goodness is enough to send a person into an utter state of happiness.
　　Enter science.
　　After conducting a study that included four types of dark chocolate and a 3D-printed tongue， a team of researchers in the United Kingdom found that it all comes down to chocolate’s outer layer — its fat. “Our main finding out of this is that fat matters a lot，” Anwesha Sarkar， a professor from the University of Leeds， told The Washington Post.
　　The scientists concluded that chocolate’s wonderful silky sensation is a product of its fat droplets making cocoa’s otherwise gritty particles （沙礫狀顆粒） go down smoothly inside the mouth.But does this mean chocolate has to be high in fat to be enjoyed？
　　Not quite， Sarkar said. If the chocolate is coated in fat， it doesn’t necessarily matter whether the chocolate itself contains much fat.“In the licking （舔） stage， fat is absolutely important for the sensation，” she said. “But as you go down into the chocolate’s inner contents， and they all start mixing with saliva （唾液）， the amount of fat doesn’t matter.So， you should have enough fat to coat the cocoa particles first， but you don’t need too much fat after.” In other words， the researchers found that the amount of fat isn’t nearly as important as its location.
　　Sarkar said her team’s findings could apply to other beloved foods， like cheese. The goal， she said， is to have a better understanding of how food texture （口感） plays a role in people’s tasting experience.“For example， many things people love contain sugar， but an orange isn’t the same as a piece of chocolate.So it’s not the sweetness； it’s the texture，” she said.
　　When it comes to food， other studies also suggest that texture and deliciousness are tied together. According to one published years ago， people’s texture preferences differ from person to person.“Texture can be a major reason for refusing foods，” said Melissa Jeltema， who co-authored the study from U & I Collaboration.“Individuals have a preferred way of eating foods， so foods that most easily go with that preferred way of eating will be preferred — assuming taste is also liked.”
32.Why did researchers carry out the study on chocolate？
A.To see how to store it better. B.To see if it can be 3D-printed.
C.To work out why it is delicious. D.To find out when it was first made.
33.Which statement will Sarkar probably agree with？
A.Not all eaters like fat in chocolate. B.Fat coating makes a difference.
C.Chocolate free of fat is much healthier. D.Chocolate high in fat tastes better.
34.Why does Sarkar mention orange in Paragraph 6？
A.To analyze why people like sweet food.
B.To show the importance of food texture.
C.To explain how texture is different from taste.
D.To advise readers to eat more fruits than chocolate.
35.What is the last paragraph mainly about？
A.Sarkar’s expectations for future work. B.A potential application of Sarkar’s study.
C.Comments on Sarkar’s research method. D.A supporting study for Sarkar’s findings.

　　閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
　　When you’re hungry， what type of food do you want to eat？ Is a juicy cheeseburger the only thing that will hit the spot？ 　36　 Maybe a taco？ How about an egg roll instead？
　　If you like egg rolls， then you must like Chinese food. But have you ever stopped to wonder — do people in China eat the types of foods you see in an American Chinese restaurant？ In a nutshell， the answer is yes ...and no！
　　 Some of the dishes you’ll find on American Chinese restaurant menus are traditional Chinese recipes， while others are purely American creations. For example， have you ever had fortune cookies for dessert？ 　37　 And those egg rolls we mentioned earlier？ People in China usually prefer more delicate spring rolls to the deep-fried egg rolls commonly found in American Chinese restaurants.
　　Likewise， some popular American Chinese dishes， like General Tso’s Chicken， are American creations that appeal to Americans but not necessarily people in China.　38　
　　China is a multiethnic （多民族的） country. So it makes sense that you’ll find many different types of food throughout the country.　39　
　　If you’ve ever eaten in an American Chinese restaurant， you’ve probably noticed that rice and noodles are very popular.Guess what？They are in China， too！Sichuan and Hunan Provinces are known for their love of spicy （辛辣的） foods that include hot peppers.So dishes like Hunan Pork and Kung Pao Chicken definitely have their roots in real， traditional Chinese recipes.　40　 If you’ve ever tried Wonton Soup or Egg Drop Soup， you’ve eaten a dish that is very commonplace in China.
A.So what do people in China eat？
B.You won’t find those very often in China！
C.Most American Chinese restaurants also feature soups.
D.Or would you prefer something from a different culture？
E.People living in south China especially consume large amounts of rice.
F.Like the United States， China has different specialties that vary by region.
G.It can be a delicious experience as you mention foods that you’ve never seen before.

　　My family has always been a big fan of the Boxer breed （品種）. I’ve had several of them over the years， and they are sweet， eager-to-please and energetic dogs. They are so gentle that it’s hard to remember that Boxers were originally bred to be guard dogs.
　　When I was a teenager， our family had a dog named Couper， a particularly gentle Boxer. We were lucky to live near a huge park in those days， and Couper and I often walked there several times a day. One August night， we went out for our last walk a bit late. The path through the park was well-lit and in a very safe region， so I wasn’t concerned.
　　There was a stretch of the path that was parallel （平行的） to the roadway， separated only by a few feet of grass. While we were walking down that particular stretch， I realized a car was following us. It slowed down to our walking speed and stayed even with us for more than a block. I started to get nervous.
　　I was alone.I didn’t have a mobile phone in those days. There was no one in the park or on the street other than me， the people in the car， and Couper. He was a great dog， but we’d chosen him partly because of how friendly and easy-going he was. He wouldn’t be of any use in a fight.Or， at least， that’s what I thought.
　　The car continued to follow us.I couldn’t see who was inside， just that there was more than one person. I didn’t know if turning around would do any good.I’d still have to walk all the way back to my house. To get help from any of the nearby houses， I’d have to cross the street.
　　Couper had been trotting （小跑） along by my side quite happily.Walk time was his favourite， second only to mealtime. I don’t know if my body language， tension in the lead， or a combination of the two tipped him off， but he started turning his head to look at me. Just a glance every few steps， just checking.

24.B　細節理解題。根據第二段第一句可知，Jennifer天生有表演天賦。
25.D　細節理解題。根據第四、五段內容可知，與其他迪士尼童星相比，Jennifer的特別之處是她決定繼續她的學業。
26.A　推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段內容可知，她母親的死使Jennifer非常痛苦。
27.C　細節理解題。根據最后一段最后一句可知，Jennifer建議年輕藝術家不要想太多成名的事。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。研究人員建議人們關注海洋中的噪聲污染，為海洋生物創造良好的生存環境。
28.A　推理判斷題。根據第一段內容可知，在嘈雜的餐館中交談時，人們會不自覺地提高音量，海豚在噪聲大的情況下也會有相似的舉動。因此，提到人們在嘈雜餐館中的表現是為了說明海豚在交流的過程中是如何應對噪聲的。
29.C　推理判斷題。根據第三段中的a task that some humans would struggle to coordinate可知，有些人都難以完成這項任務。由此可推知，作者認為這項任務對于海豚來說是充滿挑戰的。
30.B　詞義猜測題。根據第四段中的by changing the volume and length of their calls to coordinate the button press可知，面對噪聲，海豚試圖通過改變音量、延長叫聲或改變肢體語言來協調按下按鍵的時間。海豚的這些舉動是為了“彌補”噪聲對它們的“交流”產生的負面影響。
31.D　細節理解題。根據最后一段最后S rensen說的話可知，S rensen建議在特定的海域上，人們應在正確的時間安排貨運以最大程度地減少噪聲對海洋生物的影響。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。研究表明，巧克力美味的主要原因在于其表層的脂肪。
32.C　細節理解題。根據第一段中的why a bite into its delicious goodness is enough to send a person into an utter state of happiness可知，科學家針對巧克力為什么好吃展開了研究。
33.B　推理判斷題。根據第四段中的But does this mean chocolate has to be high in fat to be enjoyed？和第五段內容可知，脂肪雖然重要，但是并非越多越好，它的位置比含量更重要，包裹在巧克力外層的脂肪是巧克力美味的關鍵。
34.B　細節理解題。根據第六段內容可知，Sarkar以橙子為例，說明食物的口感發揮著重要作用。
35.D　段落大意題。根據最后一段第一句可知，本段用其他研究來佐證食物口感的重要性。之后作者提到了多年前的一項研究發現。由此推斷，本段圍繞對Sarkar的發現起支撐作用的一項研究而展開。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了美式中餐和正宗中餐的不同。
36.D　本段首句提問當你饑餓時會想吃哪種類型的食物，接著連用幾個表示選擇關系的問句列舉出幾種不同類型的食物。由此可知，本空應與列舉想吃的食物有關，故D項符合語境。D項中的prefer呼應上文中的want to eat， 且something from a different culture呼應下文中的taco（墨西哥煎玉米粉卷）和egg roll（炸蛋卷）。hit the spot適得其用，恰到好處。
37.B　根據本段首句可知，本空前舉例提到的fortune cookies （包有預測未來運氣小紙條的幸運餅干）并不是正宗的中餐點心，因為在中國并不常見，故B項符合語境。B項中的those指代上文中的fortune cookies。
38.A　上文指出一些在美國受歡迎的中餐，如General Tso’s Chicken （左宗棠甜辣雞），是美國人的發明，對美國人有吸引力，但對中國人的吸引力并不大；下文通過舉例具體解釋中國人到底吃什么。由此可知，A項承上啟下，符合語境。
39.F　本段旨在介紹中國食物的種類繁多，故F項符合語境。F項中的China has different specialties that vary by region呼應上文中的many different types of food throughout the country。
40.C　本文旨在介紹美式中餐和正宗中餐的不同。根據下文中的If you’ve ever tried Wonton Soup or Egg Drop Soup可知，美國中餐館也提供各種湯，故C項符合語境。C項中的soups與下文中的Soup是原詞復現關系。
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道。一位70多歲的奶奶為了跟孫輩們有更多交流，觀看他們喜歡看的漫威超級英雄電影并認真做筆記。
41.B　根據第二段內容和第四段中的she can have something ... her grandkids about可知，這位奶奶想跟她的孫輩們更親近。
42.D　根據文章首句和第二段中的they’re all big Marvel fans可知，這位奶奶看漫威超級英雄電影時做筆記，是為了和孫輩們談論他們感興趣的事。下文中的their interests也是提示。
43.C　根據下文中的aged from 6 to 22可知，此處介紹Skiados一共有13個孫子孫女。
44.A　根據上下文可知，Skiados沒有像爺爺奶奶們習慣做的那樣，把孫輩們的興趣看作是愚蠢的，而是決定試著做些什么。write off ... as ...把……看成……，把……貶低為……
45.C　根據文章首句和第二段中的they’re all big Marvel fans可知，Skiados決定通過看他們（孫輩們）喜歡的電影并記筆記來試著和他們站在同一水平線上，即了解漫威超級英雄電影。
46.B　根據下文中的I noticed my grandma was making her way through all the Marvel movies和she asked if I wanted to watch one with her可推知，Jackson剛搬去和爺爺奶奶住。
47.A　根據下文中的watch one with her可知，本空選擇watching，屬于原詞復現。
48.A　根據上文中的they’re all big Marvel fans和of course可推知，Jackson欣然接受了奶奶的邀請。
49.C　根據下文中的because she is willing to ...and take notes on them可知，奶奶愿意這么做，表明她很關心她的孫子孫女。
50.D　根據下文中的for hours and watch superhero movies可推知，奶奶是坐在那里看電影的。
51.D　根據第二段中的they’re all big Marvel fans和上文中的watch superhero movies， and take notes on them可知，奶奶看超級英雄電影并做筆記，是為了可以有更多的話題和孫輩們聊。extra額外的，符合語境。
52.B　根據下文中的racked up （累計） nearly seven million views， and hundreds of thousands of likes， along with it可知，奶奶看電影做筆記的視頻觸動了許多網友的心。
53.A　根據空后的Grandma is getting the recognition she deserves可知，家人們都認為奶奶得到了應有的認可。
54.B　根據上文內容可知，奶奶為了和孫輩們有更多交流而愿意做其他爺爺奶奶們不愿做的事，因此她是一位了不起的奶奶。
55.C　根據下文中的thinks it’s funny和her heart was warmed by all the comments可知，這些是Skiados回應網友們的關注時所說的話。

62.felt　考查動詞的時態。根據時間狀語in 2021可知，設空處描述發生在過去的事情，應用一般過去時，又因three out of five teen girls與feel之間是主動關系，故填felt。
63.highest　考查形容詞的最高級。上文提到在2021年美國五分之三的少女持續地感到悲傷或絕望，此處指這是在過去十年中報道過的最高數字，故填形容詞的最高級highest。
64.be connected　考查被動語態。根據語境可知，the high number for teen girls與connect之間是被動關系，設空處應用被動語態，又因其前有情態動詞could，故填be connected。

第四部分
第一節
Dear Chris，
　　How’s everything with you？It’s been a month since you came to study in China.I’m writing to invite you to dine with my family.
　　My parents thought it must have been difficult for you to adapt to life here since you’re alone.So they came up with the idea of you visiting our family from time to time and enjoying the local food with us， which I was more than willing to agree with. When are you available and is there any food we should avoid preparing？
　　Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
第二節
　　When I didn’t relax， Couper started looking around.I was wondering whether to head deeper into the park to get away from the road when my sweet， gentle dog decided he’d had enough.He turned toward the car on the road， made a low angry sound and showed his teeth.I stopped suddenly.I didn’t know what to do.All the hair on Couper’s back stood on end.He barked loudly.Then he put his body between me and that car and faced them down.
　　The car drove away.Couper waited until the tail lights disappeared around a corner， gave a little prideful sneeze， and started trotting along again.As far as he was concerned， it was settled.I think I was more shocked at his actions than I was by anything else， but I followed his lead.I don’t know who was in the car or what might have happened that night， but I do know a dog who got far too many treats and biscuits before his bedtime.

company and she’s working at a law firm.It’s all started to come together
and we’re finally able to make a life for ourselves.

make it.I hope I can keep in better contact with you.

programming.In 1975， Gates spoke to a company called Micro
Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems （MITS）.He convinced the
owner of the company that he had written a program that would work well
and make big money.The owner bought into Gates’ inventions， and the
two men reached an agreement to develop software for the company.Then
the Microsoft Company was born.

　　Former Disney child star Jennifer McGill recently shared how， after
her mother passed away， she went through an extremely dark period in
her life.
　　Jennifer was born ready for the stage. She grew up in a loving home
in Texas. And by age 7， she begged her mom to let her enter contests.
Jennifer’s mom was uncertain. But seeing her daughter’s high energy and
unshakable love of the stage， she finally supported her daughter’s wish.
　　Jennifer won many contests， and soon her parents were advised to
have her audition （試演） for The New Mickey Mouse Club， a Disney
show. Jennifer tried out and landed her dream job.
　　Many of Jennifer’s co-stars on the show went on to run after their
careers. But after many years as a Disney child star， Jennifer didn’t feel
ready for Hollywood just yet.
　　“I just needed to grow up and grow wiser in order to be the artist I
thought I was meant to be，” she said. Instead， Jennifer chose to go on
to college — a decision her mother fully supported.
　　Jennifer’s parents were supportive throughout her career and
schooling. But her mom was her champion — a constant source of support.
Unfortunately， when Jennifer was 24 years old， her mom passed away.
　　“The biggest light and fan was gone， the person who’d reminded
me that I was unique and valuable. I was kind of lost，” she said.The
next several years grew very dark.She began feeling herself lonely.She felt
lifeless and purposeless.
　　Much as Jennifer still missed her mother， she realized she should get
her life back to normal. She’s now pursuing a new career in music.She also
spends her time coaching young artists.She encourages them to put fame at
the bottom of their list.

　　We have all experienced the frustration of trying to hold a
conversation in a loud restaurant. “In a very noisy restaurant we find
ourselves increasing the volume of our voice，” said Pernille S rensen，
first author of the latest research published in the journal Current Biology.
“Dolphins respond similarly.”
　　Dolphins are social， intelligent animals， relying on clicks and
whistles to communicate and using echolocation （回聲定位） to hunt
and travel. So noise generated from human activity has a potentially
harmful impact on the health of marine populations.
　　The latest study involved a pair of dolphins and looked at how their
ability to cooperate was affected by background noise. The dolphins were
required to work together to both press their underwater button placed at
either end of a lagoon （潟湖） within one second of each other — a task
that some humans would struggle to coordinate （協調）.They were
released from a starting point during each trial， and in some trials， one
of the dolphins was held back for five to 10 seconds. This meant that the
dolphins had to rely only on vocal （聲音的） communication to
coordinate the button press.
　　When increasing levels of noise were played from an underwater
speaker， both dolphins compensated for its influence by changing the
volume and length of their calls to coordinate the button press. The
dolphins also changed their body language， reorienting （給……重新定
位） themselves to face each other more frequently at higher noise levels.
From the lowest to highest levels of noise， the dolphins’ success rate
dropped from 85％ to 62.5％， according to the research.
　　S rensen said there had been some positive attempts to address the
issue， such as the use of bubble-net structures around construction sites to
reduce sounds. Some noises， such as ship engines， are more difficult to
avoid， but the overall impact could be lessened by better understanding
how noise affects marine life and taking this into account. “Maybe there
are times of the year that it is better not to be in a certain area，” said
S rensen.“So you could reduce traffic at certain times and increase it at
others.”

聲污染，為海洋生物創造良好的生存環境。
28. What does the author want to explain by mentioning people’s
behaviour in a restaurant？
A. How dolphins react to noise.
B. Why dolphins are social animals.
C. The way humans protect dolphins from noise.
D. The way humans communicate with dolphins.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據第一段內容可知，在嘈雜的餐館中交
談時，人們會不自覺地提高音量，海豚在噪聲大的情況下也會有
相似的舉動。因此，提到人們在嘈雜餐館中的表現是為了說明海
豚在交流的過程中是如何應對噪聲的。
29. What does the author think of the task of the dolphins in the study？
A. It’s funny. B. It’s dangerous.
C. It’s challenging. D. It’s boring.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據第三段中的a task that some humans
would struggle to coordinate可知，有些人都難以完成這項任務。由
此可推知，作者認為這項任務對于海豚來說是充滿挑戰的。
30. What does the underlined part “compensated for” in Paragraph 4
mean？
A. Lived up to. B. Made up for.
C. Identified with. D. Depended on.
解析： 　詞義猜測題。根據第四段中的by changing the volume
and length of their calls to coordinate the button press可知，面對噪
聲，海豚試圖通過改變音量、延長叫聲或改變肢體語言來協調按
下按鍵的時間。海豚的這些舉動是為了“彌補”噪聲對它們的
“交流”產生的負面影響。
31. What is S rensen’s suggestion for protecting marine life？
A. Improving ocean-going ships.
B. Reducing construction sites in the sea.
C. Promoting bubble-net structures in the ocean.

　　Chocolate is delicious — that’s a fact backed up by research.The
question， really， is why a bite into its delicious goodness is enough to
send a person into an utter state of happiness.
　　Enter science.
　　After conducting a study that included four types of dark chocolate
and a 3D-printed tongue， a team of researchers in the United Kingdom
found that it all comes down to chocolate’s outer layer — its fat. “Our
main finding out of this is that fat matters a lot，” Anwesha Sarkar， a
professor from the University of Leeds， told The Washington Post.
　　The scientists concluded that chocolate’s wonderful silky sensation is
a product of its fat droplets making cocoa’s otherwise gritty particles （沙
礫狀顆粒） go down smoothly inside the mouth.But does this mean
chocolate has to be high in fat to be enjoyed？
　　Not quite， Sarkar said. If the chocolate is coated in fat， it doesn’t
necessarily matter whether the chocolate itself contains much fat.“In the
licking （舔） stage， fat is absolutely important for the sensation，”
she said. “But as you go down into the chocolate’s inner contents， and
they all start mixing with saliva （唾液）， the amount of fat doesn’t
matter.So， you should have enough fat to coat the cocoa particles first，
but you don’t need too much fat after.” In other words， the researchers
found that the amount of fat isn’t nearly as important as its location.
　　Sarkar said her team’s findings could apply to other beloved foods，
like cheese. The goal， she said， is to have a better understanding of how
food texture （口感） plays a role in people’s tasting experience.“For
example， many things people love contain sugar， but an orange isn’t the
same as a piece of chocolate.So it’s not the sweetness； it’s the
texture，” she said.
　　When it comes to food， other studies also suggest that texture and
deliciousness are tied together. According to one published years ago，
people’s texture preferences differ from person to person.“Texture can be
a major reason for refusing foods，” said Melissa Jeltema， who co-
authored the study from U & I Collaboration.“Individuals have a
preferred way of eating foods， so foods that most easily go with that
preferred way of eating will be preferred — assuming taste is also liked.”

在于其表層的脂肪。
32. Why did researchers carry out the study on chocolate？
A. To see how to store it better.
B. To see if it can be 3D-printed.
C. To work out why it is delicious.
D. To find out when it was first made.
解析： 　細節理解題。根據第一段中的why a bite into its delicious
goodness is enough to send a person into an utter state of happiness可
知，科學家針對巧克力為什么好吃展開了研究。
33. Which statement will Sarkar probably agree with？
A. Not all eaters like fat in chocolate.
B. Fat coating makes a difference.
C. Chocolate free of fat is much healthier.
D. Chocolate high in fat tastes better.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據第四段中的But does this mean
chocolate has to be high in fat to be enjoyed？和第五段內容可知，脂
肪雖然重要，但是并非越多越好，它的位置比含量更重要，包裹
在巧克力外層的脂肪是巧克力美味的關鍵。
34. Why does Sarkar mention orange in Paragraph 6？
A. To analyze why people like sweet food.
B. To show the importance of food texture.
C. To explain how texture is different from taste.
D. To advise readers to eat more fruits than chocolate.
解析： 　細節理解題。根據第六段內容可知，Sarkar以橙子為
例，說明食物的口感發揮著重要作用。
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about？
A. Sarkar’s expectations for future work.
B. A potential application of Sarkar’s study.
C. Comments on Sarkar’s research method.
D. A supporting study for Sarkar’s findings.
解析： 　段落大意題。根據最后一段第一句可知，本段用其他研
究來佐證食物口感的重要性。之后作者提到了多年前的一項研究
發現。由此推斷，本段圍繞對Sarkar的發現起支撐作用的一項研究
而展開。
第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
　　閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選
項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
　　When you’re hungry， what type of food do you want to eat？ Is a
juicy cheeseburger the only thing that will hit the spot？ 　36　 Maybe a
taco？ How about an egg roll instead？
　　If you like egg rolls， then you must like Chinese food. But have you
ever stopped to wonder — do people in China eat the types of foods you
see in an American Chinese restaurant？ In a nutshell， the answer is
yes ...and no！
　　 Some of the dishes you’ll find on American Chinese restaurant menus
are traditional Chinese recipes， while others are purely American
creations. For example， have you ever had fortune cookies for
dessert？ 　37　 And those egg rolls we mentioned earlier？ People in
China usually prefer more delicate spring rolls to the deep-fried egg rolls
commonly found in American Chinese restaurants.
　　Likewise， some popular American Chinese dishes， like General
Tso’s Chicken， are American creations that appeal to Americans but not
necessarily people in China. 　38　
　　China is a multiethnic （多民族的） country. So it makes sense that
you’ll find many different types of food throughout the country. 　39　
　　If you’ve ever eaten in an American Chinese restaurant， you’ve
probably noticed that rice and noodles are very popular.Guess what？They
are in China， too！Sichuan and Hunan Provinces are known for their
love of spicy （辛辣的） foods that include hot peppers.So dishes like
Hunan Pork and Kung Pao Chicken definitely have their roots in real，
traditional Chinese recipes. 　40　 If you’ve ever tried Wonton Soup or
Egg Drop Soup， you’ve eaten a dish that is very commonplace in China.
A. So what do people in China eat？
B. You won’t find those very often in China！
C. Most American Chinese restaurants also feature soups.
D. Or would you prefer something from a different culture？
E. People living in south China especially consume large amounts of rice.
F. Like the United States， China has different specialties that vary by
region.
G. It can be a delicious experience as you mention foods that you’ve never
seen before.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了美式中餐和正宗中餐的
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了美式中餐和正宗中餐的
不同。
36. D　本段首句提問當你饑餓時會想吃哪種類型的食物，接著連用幾
個表示選擇關系的問句列舉出幾種不同類型的食物。由此可知，本空
應與列舉想吃的食物有關，故D項符合語境。D項中的prefer呼應上文
中的want to eat， 且something from a different culture呼應下文中的taco
（墨西哥煎玉米粉卷）和egg roll（炸蛋卷）。hit the spot適得其用，
恰到好處。
37. B　根據本段首句可知，本空前舉例提到的fortune cookies （包有
預測未來運氣小紙條的幸運餅干）并不是正宗的中餐點心，因為在中
國并不常見，故B項符合語境。B項中的those指代上文中的fortune
cookies。
38. A　上文指出一些在美國受歡迎的中餐，如General Tso’s Chicken
（左宗棠甜辣雞），是美國人的發明，對美國人有吸引力，但對中國
人的吸引力并不大；下文通過舉例具體解釋中國人到底吃什么。由此
可知，A項承上啟下，符合語境。
39. F　本段旨在介紹中國食物的種類繁多，故F項符合語境。F項中的
China has different specialties that vary by region呼應上文中的many
different types of food throughout the country。
40. C　本文旨在介紹美式中餐和正宗中餐的不同。根據下文中的If
you’ve ever tried Wonton Soup or Egg Drop Soup可知，美國中餐館也提
供各種湯，故C項符合語境。C項中的soups與下文中的Soup是原詞復
現關系。

　　How’s everything with you？It’s been a month since you came to
study in China.I’m writing to invite you to dine with my family.
　　My parents thought it must have been difficult for you to adapt to life
here since you’re alone.So they came up with the idea of you visiting our
family from time to time and enjoying the local food with us， which I
was more than willing to agree with. When are you available and is there
any food we should avoid preparing？
　　Looking forward to your early reply.

第二節（滿分25分）
　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構
成一篇完整的短文。
　　My family has always been a big fan of the Boxer breed （品種）.
I’ve had several of them over the years， and they are sweet， eager-to-
please and energetic dogs. They are so gentle that it’s hard to remember
that Boxers were originally bred to be guard dogs.
　　When I was a teenager， our family had a dog named Couper， a
particularly gentle Boxer. We were lucky to live near a huge park in those
days， and Couper and I often walked there several times a day. One
August night， we went out for our last walk a bit late. The path through
the park was well-lit and in a very safe region， so I wasn’t concerned.
　　There was a stretch of the path that was parallel （平行的） to the
roadway， separated only by a few feet of grass. While we were walking
down that particular stretch， I realized a car was following us. It slowed
down to our walking speed and stayed even with us for more than a block.
I started to get nervous.
　　I was alone.I didn’t have a mobile phone in those days. There was no
one in the park or on the street other than me， the people in the car， and
Couper. He was a great dog， but we’d chosen him partly because of how
friendly and easy-going he was. He wouldn’t be of any use in a fight.Or，
at least， that’s what I thought.
　　The car continued to follow us.I couldn’t see who was inside， just
that there was more than one person. I didn’t know if turning around would
do any good.I’d still have to walk all the way back to my house. To get
help from any of the nearby houses， I’d have to cross the street.
　　Couper had been trotting （小跑） along by my side quite
happily.Walk time was his favourite， second only to mealtime. I don’t
know if my body language， tension in the lead， or a combination of the
two tipped him off， but he started turning his head to look at me. Just a
glance every few steps， just checking.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
　　When I didn’t relax， Couper started looking around. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　
　　The car drove away. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　
參考范文：
　　When I didn’t relax， Couper started looking around.I was wondering
whether to head deeper into the park to get away from the road when my
sweet， gentle dog decided he’d had enough.He turned toward the car on
the road， made a low angry sound and showed his teeth.I stopped
suddenly.I didn’t know what to do.All the hair on Couper’s back stood on
end.He barked loudly.Then he put his body between me and that car and
faced them down.
　　The car drove away.Couper waited until the tail lights disappeared
around a corner， gave a little prideful sneeze， and started trotting along
again.As far as he was concerned， it was settled.I think I was more
shocked at his actions than I was by anything else， but I followed his
lead.I don’t know who was in the car or what might have happened that
night， but I do know a dog who got far too many treats and biscuits
before his bedtime.
謝謝觀看！
