Calling vegetables and fruits “ugly” can be a recipe for sales success, according to a new study.
A French supermarket chain made international headlines when it began marketing misshapen produce as “ugly” in 2014. Since then, food stores around the world have launched campaigns to sell “imperfect produce”. Some have been successful, while others haven’t — but until now, researchers hadn’t adequately explained why consumers rejected imperfect produce, or what marketing approach was most likely to whet their appetites.
The researchers conducted seven studies that tested the effects of “ugly” labeling by having participants purchase produce at a farmer’s market and online, and by examining people’s impressions about misshapen foods. Interestingly, they found that consumers expected the imperfect produce to be less tasty and even less nutritious than more traditionally attractive foods.
But it’s not all bad news for unattractive foods. The researchers also found that when the produce is labeled “ugly”, consumer hesitancy disappears — and it’s not because of humor or originality. Calling items “ugly” signals to consumers that the only difference between items is appearance, which makes them aware of their bias (偏见) and significantly increases their willingness to buy the less attractive produce.
“We’re pointing to the source of the rejection,” explains John Meredith, the lead researcher. “It makes people aware of the limited nature of their objection to the unattractive produce and makes it clear to consumers that there are no other problems in the produce other than attractiveness.”
The research also found consumers spent more on the misshapen produce labeled “ugly” instead of “imperfect”. And even though the ugly produce was sold at a 25 percent discount, it turned out to be more profitable for sellers, as the cost of acquiring the ugly produce was lower. However, if the price reduction was too sharp, participants expected the “ugly” foods to be of low quality.
32. What is the new study mainly about
A. Food quality. B. Consumer demand.
C. Marketing approach. D. Bias against appearance.
33. What does the underlined phrase “whet their appetites” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Satisfy their need to eat better. B. Stimulate their desire of buying.
C. Encourage them to risk trying out. D. Raise their concerns about nutrition.
34. Why are people willing to buy ugly-labeled produce without hesitation
A. They are happy to spend less and have more.
B. They are curious about the special shapes of produce.
C. They are attracted by the funny and creative idea of labeling.
D. They are led to believe ugly produce has no quality problems.
35. Which way helps food sellers make more profit according to the study
A. Call the ugly produce “ugly”. B. Label the ugly produce “imperfect”.
C. Group the produce by its attractiveness. D. Price the ugly produce at a sharp discount.

My mother influenced me a lot. When I made a mistake, she never turned a blind eye to it. She also helped me develop many good hobbies. In my childhood, reading books was one of my favorite hobbies. Especially during holidays, I often went to the library to borrow books.
One Saturday morning after breakfast, I told my mother that I’d go and borrow one or two books in the local public library. Then, I set out, expecting what wonderful books I’d come across. After cycling there, I was amazed to notice a new children’s book that I had expected for long. The book was from abroad and was beautifully designed.
Eager to go through it, I quickly took the book out of the shelf and hurried to a chair nearby. Once seated, I opened the book and turned pages. Suddenly, a terrible thing happened. Because of my finger’s too much force, one page was torn (撕破) by accident, which produced a clear sound. It made me immediately shocked and anxious. “If the librarians find I have made the book damaged, they may ask me to buy a new one, which can be expensive. And they may angrily blame me for my carelessness,” I thought. Soon, my face turned pale and my heart pounded fast. Just then, I noticed a librarian was walking in the direction of me. “Is she coming for me ” I wondered, with my legs shaking with fear. Afraid she’d notice the broken page, I hurried to close the book.
Finding something wrong with me, the librarian was concerned and asked gently, “Do you feel uncomfortable ” I shook my head, replying, “No, I’m fine. Thank you!” The librarian smiled |and then left. When she was out of my sight, I quickly stood up and put the book back. I had no intention of reading other books, so I left the library in a hurry, without borrowing any book.
Once reaching home, I breathed a sigh of relief. However, my mother, who was doing housework, stopped.
Paragraph 1：
She came to check what books I borrowed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
Then, I carried glue and headed towards the library.

(在等车来接我们的时候，纳迪亚给我看了她那些保养得很好的植物。我看得出来，尽管条件艰苦，她对生活还是充满了热情。她让我渴望成为一个更坚强的人。她告诉我，贫穷是外在的，幸福是内在的。为了一个善意的事业，我想要付出100%，但我感觉从她那里得到了200%的回报)”可以推测，作者从纳迪亚身上明白了，幸福与外在物质关系不大，幸福是由自己的态度决定的，有着积极的生活态度，就是幸福的。故选B项。

Calling vegetables and fruits “ugly” can be a recipe for sales success, according to a new study.
A French supermarket chain made international headlines when it began marketing misshapen produce as “ugly” in 2014. Since then, food stores around the world have launched campaigns to sell “imperfect produce”. Some have been successful, while others haven’t — but until now, researchers hadn’t adequately explained why consumers rejected imperfect produce, or what marketing approach was most likely to whet their appetites.
The researchers conducted seven studies that tested the effects of “ugly” labeling by having participants purchase produce at a farmer’s market and online, and by examining people’s impressions about misshapen foods. Interestingly, they found that consumers expected the imperfect produce to be less tasty and even less nutritious than more traditionally attractive foods.
But it’s not all bad news for unattractive foods. The researchers also found that when the produce is labeled “ugly”, consumer hesitancy disappears — and it’s not because of humor or originality. Calling items “ugly” signals to consumers that the only difference between items is appearance, which makes them aware of their bias (偏见) and significantly increases their willingness to buy the less attractive produce.
“We’re pointing to the source of the rejection,” explains John Meredith, the lead researcher. “It makes people aware of the limited nature of their objection to the unattractive produce and makes it clear to consumers that there are no other problems in the produce other than attractiveness.”
The research also found consumers spent more on the misshapen produce labeled “ugly” instead of “imperfect”. And even though the ugly produce was sold at a 25 percent discount, it turned out to be more profitable for sellers, as the cost of acquiring the ugly produce was lower. However, if the price reduction was too sharp, participants expected the “ugly” foods to be of low quality.
32. What is the new study mainly about
A. Food quality. B. Consumer demand.
C. Marketing approach. D. Bias against appearance.
33. What does the underlined phrase “whet their appetites” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Satisfy their need to eat better. B. Stimulate their desire of buying.
C. Encourage them to risk trying out. D. Raise their concerns about nutrition.
34. Why are people willing to buy ugly-labeled produce without hesitation
A. They are happy to spend less and have more.
B. They are curious about the special shapes of produce.
C. They are attracted by the funny and creative idea of labeling.
D. They are led to believe ugly produce has no quality problems.
35. Which way helps food sellers make more profit according to the study
A. Call the ugly produce “ugly”. B. Label the ugly produce “imperfect”.
C. Group the produce by its attractiveness. D. Price the ugly produce at a sharp discount.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明，将丑陋的蔬菜和水果标上“丑陋”标签可以增加消费者的购买意愿。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Calling vegetables and fruits “ugly” can be a recipe for sales success, according to a new study.”（根据一项新的研究，称蔬菜和水果“丑陋”可能是销售成功的秘诀。）可知，一项新的研究表明，称蔬菜和水果“丑陋”可能是销售成功的秘诀，由此可知，称蔬菜和水果“丑陋”是一种成功的营销方法，这项新的研究主要是关于营销方法的研究。故选C项。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线短语上句“researchers hadn’t adequately explained why consumers rejected imperfect produce”（研究人员没有充分解释消费者拒绝不完美产品的原因）可知，研究者想知道为什么消费者拒绝不完美产品，由此可知，画线短语所在句指的是研究者想知道什么样的营销方式能激发消费者购买不完美产品的欲望，“Stimulate their desire of buying”意为“激发他们的购买欲望”，能够表达画线短语在句中所要表达的意思。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“Calling items “ugly” signals to consumers that the only difference between items is appearance, which makes them aware of their bias (偏见) and significantly increases their willingness to buy the less attractive produce.”（将商品称为“丑陋”向消费者表明，商品之间的唯一区别在于外观，这让他们意识到自己的偏见并显著增加了他们购买吸引力较低产品的意愿。）可知，将商品贴上“丑陋”标签向消费者表明，商品之间的唯一区别在于外观，质量上没有差别，这让消费者放弃偏见，增加购买意愿，由此可知，人们会毫不犹豫地购买带有丑陋标签的产品是因为他们被引导相信丑陋的产品没有质量问题。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“The research also found consumers spent more on the misshapen produce labeled “ugly” instead of “imperfect”. And even though the ugly produce was sold at a 25 percent discount, it turned out to be more profitable for sellers, as the cost of acquiring the ugly produce was lower.”（研究还发现，消费者在标有“丑陋”而非“不完美”的畸形产品上花费更多。尽管丑陋的农产品以25%的折扣出售，但事实证明，由于购买丑陋农产品的成本较低，这对销售商来说更有利可图。）可知，将畸形产品贴上“丑陋”标签，消费者更愿意购买，并且销售商购买丑陋农产品的成本较低，所以尽管丑陋的农产品以25%的折扣出售，但对销售商来说更有利可图，由此可知，把丑陋的产品称为“丑陋”可以帮助食品销售商获得更多利润。故选A项。

【36题详解】
根据上文“Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly.(提前计划。大多数长途火车，尤其是卧铺，很快就卖光了。)”以及下文“But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. (但无论你什么时候去旅行，最好至少提前90天预订。)”可知，大多数长途火车的卧铺很容易被定完，所以要提前安排预定，D项“在繁忙的夏季尤其如此。”符合语境，D项中“busy summer months”与前后文呼应，说明忙碌的夏季尤其需要提前计划。故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. (一个好的旅行社有时可以帮你找到打折的票。)”以及下文“Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.

(特别是在夏天，空调会让他们很冷。)”可知，这里提到了车厢内温度的问题，提醒乘客最好自备毛毯，C项中“The temperature on rail cars”与前后文对应，因此推断C项“列车上的温度通常很难控制。”符合语境。故选C项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster.(大多数火车每天只开一趟，有些火车一周只开三趟，所以错过你的火车可能是一场灾难。)”以及下文“Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. (注意:时刻表上列出的时间是出发时间，不是到达时间。)”可知，本段提醒要提前安排时间，错过时间是很麻烦的事情，E项中“You might have to wait longer”与前后文对应，说明错过火车导致的结果，因此推断E项“你可能要等上超过24小时才能赶上下一班。”符合语境。故选E项。

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了香的历史知识和用处。
【56题详解】
考查连词。句意：各行各业的人都从它的无数品质中受益，无论是把它用作娱乐还是作为药物。根据or as medicine并结合句意可知，空处与or构成“无论……还是……”用whether…or…结构。故填whether。
【57题详解】
考查介词。 句意：从唐朝和宋朝以来，烧香、挂画、品茶、听音乐这四种活动被统称为“文人四艺”。这道题考察的是固定搭配“be known as”，意思是“被称作……”“被认为是……”。所以，空白处应该填“as”。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：由种子、树叶和花朵制成的香一直被学者们用作一种享受的追求。has been used为本句的谓语，空处与后文无连接词连接，用非谓语动词作状语，incense与make构成逻辑上的被动关系，用过去分词。句首首字母大写。故填Made。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。“scholar”是单数形式，但这里指的是“学者们”，所以应该使用复数形式“scholars”。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意：此外，药用香是传统中医的重要组成部分，在疾病发作时，预防性保健是一种非常优越的治疗形式。form意思为：形式，此处表示泛指，前面有far superior修饰，far以辅音音素开始发音，不定冠词用a。故填a。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意：基本上，医用香可以杀死环境中的细菌，保护人们免受感染。空处放在句首，与后文用逗号隔开，用副词作状语。句首首字母大写。故填Basically。
【62题详解】
考查固定句型。句意：它也被认为具有平衡气流动的能力，气是体内的一种重要的能量。这里需要填入一个动词形式来表示“平衡”的能力。在英语中，表示“有能力做某事”通常使用“the ability to do something”的结构。因此，需要填入“to balance”，表示“平衡”的能力。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意：一旦香中的医疗成分被吸入，它们很快就会进入血液。空处修饰way作定语，用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：从那里，它们直接到达需要治疗协助的器官。空处引导限制性定语从句，从句结构完整，先行词organs看作地点，作从句的地点状语，用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：具体种类的香是根据个人的情况选择的，旨在恢复平衡和促进健康。空处作谓语，主语与choose构成被动关系，结合types可知，此处主语看作复数，句子描述客观事实，用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are chosen。

My Views on Filming Short Videos on Campus
Level A:【高中版】
范文： Dear teachers and classmates, In my opinion, filming short videos on campus is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can capture our wonderful campus life and share it with others. On the other hand, it may lead to a waste of time and affect our studies. I suggest we set specific times for filming, such as during breaks or after school. Moreover, we should be mindful of the content we post, ensuring it's positive and reflects our school's good image. Thank you.

Level B:【高考版】
范文： Dear teachers and classmates, The phenomenon of filming short videos on campus has aroused my deep concern. While it's a way to document our youth, it also brings potential problems. Excessive filming may distract students' attention from their academic pursuits and even lead to privacy issues. I propose that we establish clear regulations regarding video filming on campus. For instance, limiting the filming to designated areas and times, and requiring permission for filming in classrooms or during lectures. Additionally, we should raise awareness about the responsible use of social media to ensure that the content we share is respectful and constructive. Thank you.
点评：这篇演讲稿使用了更为高级的词汇和复杂的语法结构，如“arouse...concern”“potential problems”“establish clear regulations”等。内容上深入分析了拍摄短视频可能带来的问题，如影响学业、隐私问题等，并提出了建立明确规定的建议，体现了深刻的思考和较强的逻辑性，语言表达准确、得体，具有较强的说服力。
Level C:【拔高版】
范文： Dear teachers and classmates, The prevalence of filming short videos on campus has become a contentious issue. Undeniably, it serves as a creative outlet and a means to showcase our campus culture. However, it also poses significant risks, such as infringing on others' privacy and disrupting the academic ambiance. I advocate for a more nuanced approach. We could introduce a campus media club where students can learn about ethical filming practices and content curation. Furthermore, we should implement a peer-review system to ensure the quality and appropriateness of the videos being shared. By doing so, we can strike a balance between creativity and responsibility, fostering a harmonious campus environment. Thank you.

第二节 （满分25分）
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
My mother influenced me a lot. When I made a mistake, she never turned a blind eye to it. She also helped me develop many good hobbies. In my childhood, reading books was one of my favorite hobbies. Especially during holidays, I often went to the library to borrow books.
One Saturday morning after breakfast, I told my mother that I’d go and borrow one or two books in the local public library. Then, I set out, expecting what wonderful books I’d come across. After cycling there, I was amazed to notice a new children’s book that I had expected for long. The book was from abroad and was beautifully designed.
Eager to go through it, I quickly took the book out of the shelf and hurried to a chair nearby. Once seated, I opened the book and turned pages. Suddenly, a terrible thing happened. Because of my finger’s too much force, one page was torn (撕破) by accident, which produced a clear sound. It made me immediately shocked and anxious. “If the librarians find I have made the book damaged, they may ask me to buy a new one, which can be expensive. And they may angrily blame me for my carelessness,” I thought. Soon, my face turned pale and my heart pounded fast. Just then, I noticed a librarian was walking in the direction of me. “Is she coming for me ” I wondered, with my legs shaking with fear. Afraid she’d notice the broken page, I hurried to close the book.
Finding something wrong with me, the librarian was concerned and asked gently, “Do you feel uncomfortable ” I shook my head, replying, “No, I’m fine. Thank you!” The librarian smiled |and then left. When she was out of my sight, I quickly stood up and put the book back. I had no intention of reading other books, so I left the library in a hurry, without borrowing any book.
Once reaching home, I breathed a sigh of relief. However, my mother, who was doing housework, stopped.
Paragraph 1：
She came to check what books I borrowed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
Then, I carried glue and headed towards the library.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
She came to check what books I borrowed. But to her surprise, she noticed I was empty-handed. With a puzzled expression, she asked, “Didn’t you find anything interesting ” I hesitated, my mind racing to find an excuse for my sudden departure from the library. But I knew I couldn’t lie to her. I mustered up the courage and confessed, “Actually, I accidentally tore a page on a book I really wanted to read, and I was too scared to borrow it.” I thought she would be upset or disappointed, but instead, she gave me a comforting smile and said, “Accidents often happen, and it's important that we take responsibility for our actions. Let’s think about how we can fix this.”
Paragraph 2:
Then, I carried glue and headed towards the library. My heart was pounding with a mix of fear and determination. I knew this was a chance to make amends and learn from my mistake. As I entered the library, I approached the librarian who had noticed my distress earlier. I explained what had happened, showing her the glue and expressing my sincere apologies. To my relief, she was understanding and appreciated my honesty. With her guidance, we carefully repaired the damaged page, and I promised to be more careful in the future.
