Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
体裁：记叙文 话题：学会生存 词数：290 时间：6′
I have never taken cooking classes in my life.I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook.
The main reason for this was that when my mother got married，she didn't know how to cook anything，not even an egg.My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.My mother did not start to cook until she was 25 years old.After she got married，she had to cook for herself and my father.One morning，she cooked two eggs for my father，but she didn't make them cooked.My father had to go to work with an empty stomach.My mother felt very sorry for my father and she decided to learn to cook from then on.In the beginning，it was very hard for her.Therefore，she had to take cooking classes to prepare the meals.
After having that experience，she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn't want me to have the same experience.I remember when I was seven years old，and my mother was cooking，I was with her in the kitchen enjoying cooking.I always helped her.Sometimes we prepared meals that my mother already knew how to make，and sometimes we prepared them from recipes.
Nowadays，I don't need help to cook a meal.I can cook for myself alone or for a group of people；it doesn't matter.All has been done because of my mother.I will do the same with my children when they are young because I don't want them to have the same experience as my mother.If one day I am not with them，I want to be sure that they can carry on their lives without me.
【语篇解读】 作者的妈妈直到结婚后才学会做饭，为了不让自己的经历发生在自己的
1．Why couldn't the author's mother cook before she got married?
A．Because she was too lazy to do any cooking.
B．Because she was tired of doing that.
C．Because she was too busy to do that.
D．Because she wasn' t permitted to do that.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第二段“My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.”可知，作者的妈妈在结婚前不会做饭是因为作者的外婆不允许她去做。]
2．How did the author's mother feel when her husband left for work with an empty stomach?
A．Disappointed.
B．Ashamed.
C．Worried.
D．Helpless.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第二段“One morning...My father had to go to work with an empty stomach.My mother felt very sorry for my father and she decided to learn to cook from then on.”可知，因为做的鸡蛋不熟，父亲没吃饭就上班去了，作者的妈妈感到很对不起作者的爸爸，她感到很惭愧。]
3．It can be known from the last paragraph that the author ________．
A．becomes a famous cook with the help of her mother
B．decides to teach her children to cook when they grow up
C．wants to make her children live alone when they are young
D．is grateful for her mother's teaching her to cook
答案 D [推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nowadays，I don't need help to cook a meal.I can cook for me alone or for a group of people；it doesn't matter.All has been done because of my mother.”可知，现在作者做饭不需要帮助。给她自己做饭或者给一群人做饭都没问题。这一切都是因为她的妈妈。由此可推知，作者对妈妈教她做饭这一经历心存感激。]

体裁：说明文 话题：社会现象 词数：390 时间：8′
It's midnight in Taiwan.While some people are slowly walking home through the busy streets，or getting ready to hit the club scene，others are on their way to a more unusual place—a bookstore.The Eslite store in central Taipei opens 24 hours and has more visitors than most Western bookstores could dream of during their daytime hours.Here，young and old sit side－by－side on small steps or around reading tables，deeply absorbed in literary worlds.Others stand and some sit on the floor，all reading in silence as soft classical music flows out from the speakers.
The Eslite Group，which runs the five－story store，opened its first branch in Taipei in 1989.Today，25 years on，the company runs 42 stores in Taiwan，one in Hong Kong and has powerful plans to expand in Chinese mainland.The chain's rise comes at a time when bookstores in the United States and Europe are struggling to survive，with some forced to wind__up due to growing pressure from online competitors like Amazon.In the United Kingdom，a third of all independent bookstores have closed down in the last decade.
And the last major book seller in the U．S.—Barnes & Noble—is shutting stores as its management struggles to meet the challenges from its digital competitors.Eslite has hit upon an idea to avoid this—making the store as much a place for books as it is for design，fashion and home styling，small cafes and restaurants.It reported revenue (收入) of around $425 million in 2024，with books accounting for some 40 percent of sales.
The mix of literature and design has made the store a place for bookworms，allowing the company to ignore the challenges of the digital age.“It is our belief that the more digital the society (becomes)，the
more
we
treasure
the
warmth
of
the interconnection，”Timothy Wang，the manager，says.“This key idea makes Eslite hardly influenced by the changes of the industry.”
Eslite's success may seem counter－intuitive(反直觉的) especially when it seems most late－night visitors treat it like a library，leaving empty handed after hours of free reading.Eslite's Timothy Wang says that the business is successful because it creates “a friendly environment” and treats “books as well as the visitors with great enthusiasm.”
【语篇解读】 文章介绍了为什么台湾图书销售繁荣，因为有很多可以看书的夜店。
4．According to the passage，we can know that ________．
A．people in Taipei have no time to read in the daytime
B．people in Taipei enjoy reading in the Eslite store
C．the Eslite Group is a good place to chat with friends
D．the Eslite store attracts many Western readers
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第一段后三句内容可知，台北诚品书店24小时营业，它拥有的顾客比许多西方国家书店里白天的顾客还多。在这里，老人和小孩挨着坐在小阶梯上或者紧挨着书桌，深深地陷入文学世界。有的站着看，还有的坐在地板上看，柔和的古典音乐从扬声器里流淌出来，所有的人都在只剩音乐的一片寂静中阅读书籍。由此可知，台北的人们喜欢在诚品书店读书。]
5．What's the meaning of the underlined phrase “wind up” in Paragraph 2?
A．Find out.
B．Support.
C．Develop.
D．Shut down.
答案 D [词义猜测题。根据第二段“The chain's rise comes at a time when bookstores in the United States and Europe are struggling to survive...In the United Kingdoma third of all independent bookstores have closed down in the last decade.”可知台北诚品连锁书店正在崛起，而此时美国和欧洲的书店正惨淡经营。在过去的十年里，英国三分之一的独立书店已经停业。由此可知，由于来自电商竞争者的压力日益剧增，比如亚马逊，有的书店不得不被迫“关门”。画线短语的意思是：关门，停业。]
6．How does the Eslite Group enlarge its business according to Paragraph 3?
A．By selling books online.
B．By competing with digital competitors.
C．By making its store comfortable and relaxing.
D．By selling books at a low price.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据第三段“Eslite has hit upon an idea to avoid this—making the store as much a place for books as it is for design，fashion and home styling，small cafes and restaurants.”可知，诚品书店突发奇想出了一个躲避低潮的办法——把书店打造成一个有设计感、时尚、家庭风格的小咖啡馆和餐厅式的地方。由此可推知，诚品书店把书店打造成一个舒适、放松的地方吸引更多的读者。]
7．Which is the best title for this passage?
A．How to sell books in the digital age
B．Ways of managing a bookstore successfully
C．Why book selling is successful in Taiwan
D．The measures taken to protect the booksellers in the digital age
答案 C [标题判断题。文章主要介绍了台湾的诚品书店在电商时代是如何取得成功的。]
