B.Negative. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.【答案】8.A9.C10.A11.B【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了超加工食品（UPF）的普及程度、其对健康的负面影响以及对环境造成的严重影响。【8题详析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Besidestheiraffordability,UPFnotonlyoffertime-savingconvenience,butalsomomentarysatisfactionfilledwithfat,sugar,saltandadditives.(除了价格实惠之外，超加工食品不仅提供了节省时间的便利，还能凭借其中的脂肪、糖分、盐分和添加剂带来瞬间的满足感。)”可知，超加工食品除了价格实惠外，还提供节省时间的便利，并且能带来瞬间的满足感，不过这种满足感来自脂肪、糖、盐和添加剂。也就是说，从第一段我们可以知道超加工食品价格便宜。故选A。【9题详析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“ThemostseriousenvironmentalimpactsofUPF-richdietsmainlycomefromthepost-farmstages,especiallyfromthefinalproductcreationandpackagingprocesses.(富含超加工食品的饮食对环境最严重的影响主要来自农场后的加工阶段，尤其是最终产品的制作和包装过程。)”可知，富含超加工食品的饮食对环境最严重的影响主要来自农场后的加工阶段，尤其是最终产品的制作和包装过程。故选C。【10题详析】词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“Themassivewastegeneratedbyover-packagedUPFisanotherfactortoconsider.Theirplasticpackagingdoesn’tdegrade(降解)inlandfillsorinnatureandhasadramaticimpactonsoilhealthandlifeinthesea.(过度包装的超加工食品产生的大量垃圾是另一个需要考虑的因素。它们的塑料包装在……或自然界中都不会降解，这对土壤健康和海洋生物有着巨大的影响。)”可知，这里在讨论超加工食品过度包装产生的大量垃圾，尤其是塑料包装的问题，提到塑料包装在“landfills”或者在自然界中都不会降解，并且对土壤健康和海洋生物有巨大影响。根据“在自然界中”可推测，“landfills”的意思“垃圾可被埋的地方”相关。选项A“Placeswherewasteisburiedunderground.(垃圾被埋在地下的地方)”与此相符。故选A。【11题详析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Theenvironmentalimpactofultra-processedfoodscannotbeignoredanylonger.Aswebecomemoreandmoreconsciousaboutwhatwebuyandhowitisproduced,weholdtheresponsibilitytoadvocateforchange.(超加工食品对环境的影响再也不容忽视了。随着我们对所购买的东西以及其生产方式越来越关注，我们有责任倡导改变。)”可知，作者认为超加工食品对环境的影响不能再被忽视了，并且我们有责任倡导改变，这表明作者对超加工食品对环境的影响持否定态度。故选B。DMarketersareincreasinglyfocusedoncreatingsocialmediacontenttocaptureuserattentionanddriveengagementwiththecontent.Oneprovenstrategytoincreasesuchengagementisusingsocialmediaimages.A2021reportbyasocialmediamanagementsoftwarecompanyfoundthatnearly53%ofcontentmarketersconsiderimagescrucialforachievingtheirsocialmediagoals,andapproximately70%ofsocialmediauserspreferinteractingwithimage-basedpostsovertext-onlycontent.Despitethisclearpreferenceforsocialmediaimages,therehasbeenlittleresearchaboutwhichspecificimagecharacteristicsmosteffectivelyboostuserengagementandwhenthatengagementtakesplace.ThenewstudybyVamsiKanuriclarifieshowcolorcomplexityaffectsuserengagementonsocialmedia.Postscontainingcompleximageswithmorevariedcolorpatternstendtocapturegreateruserattentionandleadtoincreasedengagement,accordingtoleadauthorKanuri.Thesignificanceofcolorinmarketingiswell-documented,influencingeverythingfrombrandperceptiontopurchaseintentions.However,theparticularroleofcolorcomplexityinsocialmediaengagementhadnotbeenexploredbeforeKanuriandhisteamturnedtheirattentiontoit.Thestudyfoundthatusinglargerimageswithgreatercolorcomplexityinthetextcontentleadstobetteruserengagement.Formarketersandcontentcreators,theeffectsareclear,Kanurisays.“It’scrucialtocombineimagecharacteristicswithotherpostfeaturesandtobemindfulofthetimingandcontextofsocialmediainteractions.”Kanuriencouragesmarketerstointegratetheseinsightsintotheircontentstrategiesandcontinuetolearnaboutfactorsthataffecthowusersinteractwiththeirposts.“Bydoingso,theycanexpandtheirsocialmediainfluenceandachievegreatersuccessintheirdigitalmarketingefforts.”hesays.12.Whydoestheauthormentiona2021reportinparagraph2?A.Tostressthesignificanceofdoingresearch.B.Topromotetheuseoftext-onlycontent.C.Toprovethepreviousstatement.D.Topresentsomeeditingtechniques.13.WhatcanwelearnabouttheVamsiKanuri-ledstudy?A.Itrevealshowcolorcomplexityinfluencesusers’media.B.Itisbasedonsufficientrelevantresearchpreviouslydone.C.Itbooststhepublic’sattentiontosocialmedia.D.Itcentersonsocialmedia’simpactonpeople’shealth.14.Whatdoesthelastparagraphtalkabout?A.Socialmediacontentcreators’anxiety.B.Kanuri’sappealtomarketers.C.Limitationsofsocialmedia.D.Methodsoftappingintosocialmedia.15.Inwhichsectionofanewspapermaythistextappear?A.Ecology. B.Health. C.Education. D.Commerce.【答案】12.C13.A14.B15.D【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交媒体营销中图像使用的重要性，特别是颜色复杂性对用户参与度的影响。【12题详析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Marketersareincreasinglyfocusedoncreatingsocialmediacontenttocaptureuserattentionanddriveengagementwiththecontent.Oneprovenstrategytoincreasesuchengagementisusingsocialmediaimages.(营销人员越来越专注于创作社交媒体内容，以吸引用户的注意力，并推动用户对内容的参与度。一个行之有效的提高这种参与度的策略是使用社交媒体图片。)”可知，第一段指出营销人员专注于创作社交媒体内容，且使用社交媒体图片是提高用户参与度的有效策略。而文章第二段“A2021reportbyasocialmediamanagementsoftwarecompanyfoundthatnearly53%ofcontentmarketersconsiderimagescrucialforachievingtheirsocialmediagoals,andapproximately70%ofsocialmediauserspreferinteractingwithimage-basedpostsovertext-onlycontent.(一家社交媒体管理软件公司在2021年发布的一份报告发现，近53%的内容营销人员认为图片对于实现他们的社交媒体目标至关重要，大约70%的社交媒体用户更倾向于与基于图片的帖子互动，而非纯文本内容。)”引用了2021年的报告内容，该报告表明大部分营销人员认为图片对实现社交媒体目标重要，多数用户也更倾向于基于图片的帖子。这与第一段中提到的使用社交媒体图片可提高用户参与度这一观点相呼应。故选C。【13题详析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“ThenewstudybyVamsiKanuriclarifieshowcolorcomplexityaffectsuserengagementonsocialmedia.(VamsiKanuri的这项新研究阐明了色彩复杂度是如何影响社交媒体上的用户参与度的。)”以及第三段“Postscontainingcompleximageswithmorevariedcolorpatternstendtocapturegreateruserattentionandleadtoincreasedengagement,accordingtoleadauthorKanuri.(该研究的第一作者Kanuri表示，包含具有更多样化色彩模式的复杂图片的帖子往往能吸引更多的用户关注，并提高用户的参与度。)”和“Thestudyfoundthatusinglargerimageswithgreatercolorcomplexityinthetextcontentleadstobetteruserengagement.(研究发现，在文本内容中使用更大且色彩复杂度更高的图片会带来更好的用户参与度。)”可知，VamsiKanuri领导的研究阐明了色彩复杂度是如何影响社交媒体上的用户参与度的，包含色彩模式更多样化的复杂图片的帖子往往能吸引更多用户关注并提高参与度。故选A。【14题详析】主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Kanuriencouragesmarketerstointegratetheseinsightsintotheircontentstrategiesandcontinuetolearnaboutfactorsthataffecthowusersinteractwiththeirposts.“Bydoingso,theycanexpandtheirsocialmediainfluenceandachievegreatersuccessintheirdigitalmarketingefforts.”hesays.(Kanuri鼓励营销人员将这些见解融入他们的内容策略中，并继续了解影响用户如何与他们的帖子进行互动的各种因素。他说：“通过这样做，他们可以扩大自己在社交媒体上的影响力，并在数字营销工作中取得更大的成功。”)”可知，Kanuri鼓励营销人员将这些见解融入他们的内容策略中，并继续了解影响用户与他们的帖子互动的因素。他认为通过这样做，营销人员可以扩大他们在社交媒体上的影响力，并在数字营销工作中取得更大的成功。由此可知，最后一段讨论的是Kanuri对营销人员的呼吁。故选B。【15题详析】推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要讲述了营销人员通过在社交媒体上使用图片来吸引用户注意力和提高用户参与度，还介绍了VamsiKanuri关于色彩复杂度对社交媒体用户参与度影响的研究，并鼓励营销人员将相关见解融入内容策略，以在数字营销方面取得更大成功。文章重点围绕社交媒体营销展开，营销属于商业领域，所以文章可能出现在报纸的商业板块。故选D。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。IgotafraidwhenIwasgoingtojoinThompsonRiversUniversityhereinCanada.ThefactwasthatIwasfarawayfrommycountrywithatotallynewcultureandnewpeopleandIbecamenervousbecauseIhadnoexperienceofgettingadjustedwithawholenewplace,languageandculture.____16____SpeakingEnglishfluentlyandmaintainingmyconfidencewhenchattingwitheachpersonhereposedanothersignificantchallengeforme.SinceIlandedinCanada,I’vestartedfacingalotofproblemsthatIknewIwouldface.____17____Ithappenedespeciallywhenitcametofiguringouthowtofixitormakethenecessaryadjustmentshere.Iwasn’tabletocommunicatewithpeoplesoeasilybecausetheaccenthereinCanadawasn’tfamiliartome.Canadiansusedifferentintonationandstress.____18____Besides,thefearofmakingmistakeswaskillingmydesiretogiveitanothertry.Tobreakthroughthesedifficulties,IrealizedthatIhadtoactivelyengagewiththelocalenvironmentandthediversecommunityaroundme.WhenIfirstcametoTRU,Imetwithnationalandinternationalstudents,andtalkedtothemaboutourculture,likehowourinteractionshappened,thewaywecommunicated,andthetraditionswewerekeeping.Istartedtoobservepeople,includinghowtheytalked,theirexpressions,intonation,stress,vocabulary,andthewaytheyusedphrasesinconversations.____19____Thoselongconversationsweregrowingupmyconfidencelevel.Ipersistedincreasinglytograduallyadapttoandfeelateasewiththenewlanguage,culture,traditionandalltheaspectsthatrequiredmyadjustments.____20____Nothingisimpossibletoachieve.Allyouneedtodotoachieveagoalishardwork,practiceandnotfeelingshywhenyou’remakingamistake.Iamlearningalotbymakinglotsofmistakes.Nowmistakesdon’tbothermeanyway.A.Thiswasabigchallengeforme.B.ButIhadagoodcommandofnothing.C.However,Iwasstillatalosssometimes.D.IalsostartedtotalkwithmyfriendsinEnglish.E.Overall,fromallthisIhavelearnedavitallesson.F.Itreallygotonmynervesthatnobodyfacedthesameproblemsasmine.G.Thatdirectlycontributedtomyhesitationintalkingwithpeoplearoundme.【答案】16.A17.C18.G19.D20.E【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者初到加拿大ThompsonRiversUniversity时，面对全新的文化、语言和人群所遇到的挑战，以及作者如何努力克服这些困难，逐渐适应新环境的过程。【16题详析】根据空前“ThefactwasthatIwasfarawayfrommycountrywithatotallynewcultureandnewpeopleandIbecamenervousbecauseIhadnoexperienceofgettingadjustedwithawholenewplace,languageandculture.(事实上，我远离自己的国家，置身于一个有着全新文化和陌生人群的环境中，我变得紧张起来，因为我没有适应一个全新的地方、语言和文化的经验。)”以及空后“SpeakingEnglishfluentlyandmaintainingmyconfidencewhenchattingwitheachpersonhereposedanothersignificantchallengeforme.(流利地说英语以及在这里与每个人交谈时保持自信，对我来说是另一个巨大的挑战。)”可知，此处强调适应新环境、语言和文化对作者来说是一个很大的挑战。选项A“Thiswasabigchallengeforme.(这对我来说是一个很大的挑战。)”符合语境，其中的“abigchallenge”和空后的“anothersignificantchallenge”逻辑一致。故选A。【17题详析】根据上文“SinceIlandedinCanada,I’vestartedfacingalotofproblemsthatIknewIwouldface.(自从我抵达加拿大，我就开始面临许多我知道自己会遇到的问题。)”可知，作者一到达加拿大，就做好了面对很多问题的准备。选项C“However,Iwasstillatalosssometimes.(然而，我有时仍然会感到茫然不知所措。)”与上文形成转折，指出即便有心理准备，作者有时候还是感到茫然不知所措。同时引出下文“Ithappenedespeciallywhenitcametofiguringouthowtofixitormakethenecessaryadjustmentshere.(尤其是当涉及到如何解决这些问题或在这里做出必要的调整时)”即，作者在需要做出调整或者需要解决问题的时候，会感到不知所措。故选C。【18题详析】根据上文“Iwasn’tabletocommunicatewithpeoplesoeasilybecausetheaccenthereinCanadawasn’tfamiliartome.Canadiansusedifferentintonationandstress.(我不能很容易地与人交流，因为加拿大这里的口音我不熟悉。加拿大人使用不同的语调，并且对单词有不同的重音。)”可知，作者不熟悉加拿大的口音。选项G“Thatdirectlycontributedtomyhesitationintalkingwithpeoplearoundme.(这直接导致我在与周围的人交谈时犹豫不决。)”延续上文内容，指出由于作者不熟悉加拿大的口音，所以作者在与周围的人交谈时会犹豫不决。故选G。【19题详析】根据空后“Thoselongconversationsweregrowingupmyconfidencelevel.(那些长时间的交谈增强了我的自信心。)”可推测，空处和长时间的交谈相关。选项D“IalsostartedtotalkwithmyfriendsinEnglish.(我也开始用英语和我的朋友们交谈。)”提及作者开始用英语和朋友们交谈，而这些交谈增加了作者的自信。故选D。【20题详析】根据下文“Nothingisimpossibletoachieve.Allyouneedtodotoachieveagoalishardwork,practiceandnotfeelingshywhenyou’remakingamistake.(没有什么是不可能实现的。为了实现一个目标，你所需要做的就是努力工作、不断练习，并且在犯错时不要害羞。)”可知，下文是作者的感悟。选项E“Overall,fromallthisIhavelearnedavitallesson.(总的来说，从这一切中我学到了重要的一课。)”自然引出下文内容，即作者从这次经历中学到了很多。故选E。第三部分：语言运用（共三节，满分30分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Iwasthatpersonwhowenttoschoolonanemptystomachandcamebackhomewithanemptystomach.Iwasthatchildwhowalkedtoschoolwithoutshoes,andeachstepwasanencounteronrough____21____,wheresharpstonespressedagainstthesolesofmybarefeet.Inthosemoments,Ifeltamixof____22____anddetermination.IfinallygotmyfirstpairofshoeswhenIjoinedseniorsecondaryschool.Istudiedhardfortheprimarylevelandwasawardeda____23____sinceIpassedmywellwithfirstgrade.That____24____parentswithmyfeestobuythenewshoessincethetuitionfeeswerepaidfor.Thatfirstdaywalkinginmynewshoes,eachstepfelt____25____andsurebeneathme.Tome,theyweremorethanjustshoes;theywereasignofhope.Apromisethatthroughhardworkanddetermination,Icould____26____mypath.Myfirstjobwasinconstruction.That’sallIcouldmanagesinceIdidn’thaveanyformal____27____.EverybrickI____28____,everybagofcementImixed,wasbuildingme,notjustphysically,butmentallyandemotionally.Thoughlifewasnotfine,Isaidtomyself,“Nomatterhowthingsare____29____,nevergiveup.Alwaysrememberthatyourfutureisyour_____30_____,notanyotherperson’s.”Lifeawayfromhomewasfulloflessonsbuteveryencounterupliftedmy_____31_____andgavemethecouragetocontinue.Ihustledformyfuture,takingonjobswhilegrowingmybusiness.Andtoday,asaleaderofmyteam,I’mdrivenbythe_____32_____thatsuccessisnotjustforme,butforallthosechildrenwhogrewuppoor.Iwantthemtohave_____33_____andbelievethatnomatterwhatwegothrough,wecanchangethefuture.Ilookbackatmyjourneyfromthosebarefootdaystonow.Theshoesfrommyfirstdayatsecondaryschoolarelong_____34_____,buttheystillsymbolizemyjourney.They_____35_____meofmyhardwork,faith,andthestridesI’vemade.21.A.decision
