Olympics was held with great excitement. Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, known as the “Shatou” pair, faced the dark horse pair from North Korea, Lee Jeong-sik and Kim Geum-yeong.
At the beginning of the game, the North Korean pair showed strong attacking power. Lee Jeong-sik’s forehand attack was sharp and tricky. Kim Geum-yeong’s backhand long pimples rubber style was unique, and the rhythm and spin of her returns posed challenges to the “Shatou” pair. But the “Shatou” pair remained calm. Wang Chuqin’s backhand flick was very powerful, and Sun Yingsha’s advantages in the first three strokes were obvious.
The scores of both sides rose alternately, and the game was extremely close. At the critical moment, the “Shatou” pair, with the tacit understanding formed through long-term training, solid technical skills and strong psychological quality, dared to play and fight. Finally, with the scores of 11 - 6, 7 - 11, 11 - 8, 11 - 5, 7 - 11, 11 - 8, they won 4:2 and won the gold medal.

Drinking three to four cups of coffee a day may reduce your risk of liver cancer and other alcohol-related liver diseases, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at the coffee habits of more than 494,000 people in the UK Biobank, a biomedical database, and monitored their liver health over 11 years. Participants ranged from 40 to 69 years old, with 384,818 saying they were enthusiastic coffee drinkers, and 109,767 saying they were not.
Coffee drinkers were 21% less likely to develop chronic (慢性的) liver disease, 20% less likely to develop chronic or fatty liver disease, and 49% less likely to die of chronic liver disease than non-coffee drinkers, according to the study published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Public Health. “It confirms in a large UK cohort (一群人) that coffee drinking is protective against severe liver disease,“ said Prof. Paul Roderick, a co-author of the study from the University of Southampton.
People who drank ground caffeinated (含有啡非因的) or decaffeinated coffee saw the most benefits, while some reduction in risks was also found in instant coffee drinkers. The maximum benefit was found in people who drank three to four cups a day; any higher consumption didn’t show additional benefits, according to the study.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is most common in people who are overweight or have diabetes, high cholesterol or high triglycerides. The disease affects up to 25% of people in the United States, according to the American Liver Foundation. Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, according to the World Cancer Research Fund. The rate of liver cancer since 1980 has more than doubled, aceording to the American Cancer Society.
Vanessa Hebditch, of the British Liver Trust, said that the study results further prove the theory that coffee is good for liver health. “However, it’s important that people improve their liver health not just by drinking coffee,” she said, “but by also cutting down on alcohol and keeping to a healthy weight by exercising and eating well.”
One of the major limitations to the study is that the participants were asked only about their coffee consumption at one point in time and then monitored for their health. For example, if someone changed their daily coffee intake from one to four cups of coffee a day over the 11-year period, researchers weren’t able to take that into account.
“The study raises the issue that drinking coffee might be an effective intervention (干预) to prevent severe liver disease in those at high risk,” Rodercki said.
8. What did the study find about coffee drinkers?
A. They could benefit more by drinking more coffee.
B. They preferred caffeinated coffee to instant coffee.
C. They may have a healthier liver than non-coffee drinkers.
D. They had difficulty changing the way they drank coffee.
9. What does Vanessa Hebditch advise people to do?
A. To avoid drinking coffee at night. B. To drink coffee after doing exercise.
C. To reduce weight by drinking coffee. D. To improve liver health in many ways.
10. What is the main limitation of the study?
A. It failed to monitor participants closely.
B. It only focused on participants’ coffee consumption.
C. It may affect the coffee consumption in the future.
D. It may ignore the changes in participants’ coffee intake.
11. What is Rodercki’s attitude towards the study?
A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
D
A team of AI researchers at Microsoft, working with colleagues from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory(PNNL), has used AI to develop a battery that uses less lithium (锂).
Lithium batteries have become the industry standard for electronic devices and electric vehicles and are expected to play a major role in the change to green power. But lithium is expensive, which has led multiple teams across the globe to look for alternatives. In this new effort, the research team looked for ways to reduce the amount of lithium used in batteries.
This would normally take a long time because of the detailed approach required. To reduce the workload and the time needed to process millions of alternatives, the researchers turned to AI. Noting that AI applications are good at using massive amounts of data to learn how to do things, the researchers designed one that could study millions of materials that might be added to a lithium battery to replace some amount of the lithium and test the results for factors such as stability and how a battery using a given material would behave.
Using this approach, the research team reduced the list of possible alternatives to just a few hundred possibilities. They then turned to materials scientists at PNNL for advice on how to reduce the possibilities even further. The scientists suggested adding more specific screening criteria and more testing rounds. After adopting that advice, the team arrived at a promising alternative and an approach that involved replacing approximately half of the lithium atoms in a battery with sodium (钠) atoms.
After using the new approach to build a working battery, the researchers found it had lower conductivity (导电性) than needed — but they also believe that there is room for improvement. They plan to continue working on the approach and the process they used to find their solution, which they suggest could eventually solve other types of material processing problems.
12. Why did the research team want to develop a battery that uses less lithium?
A. To reduce carbon emissions. B. To meet the industry standard.
C. To decrease the cost of a battery. D. To generate electricity efficiently.
13. What do the underlined words “this approach” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Using AI to find possible materials. B. Adding other materials to a battery.
C. Developing an application to collect data. D. Replacing lithium in a battery with sodium.
14. How did the research team finally find a promising alternative?
A. By seeking funding from PNNL. B. By asking experts for advice.
C. By turning to Microsoft for help. D. By cooperating with other scientists.
15. What is the existing challenge with the new approach?
A. It is less effective than expected. B. It costs too much time and money.
C. It occupies too much room. D. It processes at a lower speed.

Drinking three to four cups of coffee a day may reduce your risk of liver cancer and other alcohol-related liver diseases, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at the coffee habits of more than 494,000 people in the UK Biobank, a biomedical database, and monitored their liver health over 11 years. Participants ranged from 40 to 69 years old, with 384,818 saying they were enthusiastic coffee drinkers, and 109,767 saying they were not.
Coffee drinkers were 21% less likely to develop chronic (慢性的) liver disease, 20% less likely to develop chronic or fatty liver disease, and 49% less likely to die of chronic liver disease than non-coffee drinkers, according to the study published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Public Health. “It confirms in a large UK cohort (一群人) that coffee drinking is protective against severe liver disease,“ said Prof. Paul Roderick, a co-author of the study from the University of Southampton.
People who drank ground caffeinated (含有啡非因的) or decaffeinated coffee saw the most benefits, while some reduction in risks was also found in instant coffee drinkers. The maximum benefit was found in people who drank three to four cups a day; any higher consumption didn’t show additional benefits, according to the study.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is most common in people who are overweight or have diabetes, high cholesterol or high triglycerides. The disease affects up to 25% of people in the United States, according to the American Liver Foundation. Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, according to the World Cancer Research Fund. The rate of liver cancer since 1980 has more than doubled, aceording to the American Cancer Society.
Vanessa Hebditch, of the British Liver Trust, said that the study results further prove the theory that coffee is good for liver health. “However, it’s important that people improve their liver health not just by drinking coffee,” she said, “but by also cutting down on alcohol and keeping to a healthy weight by exercising and eating well.”
One of the major limitations to the study is that the participants were asked only about their coffee consumption at one point in time and then monitored for their health. For example, if someone changed their daily coffee intake from one to four cups of coffee a day over the 11-year period, researchers weren’t able to take that into account.
“The study raises the issue that drinking coffee might be an effective intervention (干预) to prevent severe liver disease in those at high risk,” Rodercki said.
8. What did the study find about coffee drinkers?
A. They could benefit more by drinking more coffee.
B. They preferred caffeinated coffee to instant coffee.
C. They may have a healthier liver than non-coffee drinkers.
D. They had difficulty changing the way they drank coffee.
9. What does Vanessa Hebditch advise people to do?
A. To avoid drinking coffee at night. B. To drink coffee after doing exercise.
C. To reduce weight by drinking coffee. D. To improve liver health in many ways.
10. What is the main limitation of the study?
A. It failed to monitor participants closely.
B. It only focused on participants’ coffee consumption.
C. It may affect the coffee consumption in the future.
D. It may ignore the changes in participants’ coffee intake.
11. What is Rodercki’s attitude towards the study?
A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B

A team of AI researchers at Microsoft, working with colleagues from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory(PNNL), has used AI to develop a battery that uses less lithium (锂).
Lithium batteries have become the industry standard for electronic devices and electric vehicles and are expected to play a major role in the change to green power. But lithium is expensive, which has led multiple teams across the globe to look for alternatives. In this new effort, the research team looked for ways to reduce the amount of lithium used in batteries.
This would normally take a long time because of the detailed approach required. To reduce the workload and the time needed to process millions of alternatives, the researchers turned to AI. Noting that AI applications are good at using massive amounts of data to learn how to do things, the researchers designed one that could study millions of materials that might be added to a lithium battery to replace some amount of the lithium and test the results for factors such as stability and how a battery using a given material would behave.
Using this approach, the research team reduced the list of possible alternatives to just a few hundred possibilities. They then turned to materials scientists at PNNL for advice on how to reduce the possibilities even further. The scientists suggested adding more specific screening criteria and more testing rounds. After adopting that advice, the team arrived at a promising alternative and an approach that involved replacing approximately half of the lithium atoms in a battery with sodium (钠) atoms.
After using the new approach to build a working battery, the researchers found it had lower conductivity (导电性) than needed — but they also believe that there is room for improvement. They plan to continue working on the approach and the process they used to find their solution, which they suggest could eventually solve other types of material processing problems.
12. Why did the research team want to develop a battery that uses less lithium?
A. To reduce carbon emissions. B. To meet the industry standard.
C. To decrease the cost of a battery. D. To generate electricity efficiently.
13. What do the underlined words “this approach” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Using AI to find possible materials. B. Adding other materials to a battery.
C. Developing an application to collect data. D. Replacing lithium in a battery with sodium.
14. How did the research team finally find a promising alternative?
A. By seeking funding from PNNL. B. By asking experts for advice.
C. By turning to Microsoft for help. D. By cooperating with other scientists.
15. What is the existing challenge with the new approach?
A. It is less effective than expected. B. It costs too much time and money.
C. It occupies too much room. D. It processes at a lower speed.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的篆刻艺术。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它一直是中国古典艺术不可分割的一部分。part为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且inseparable发音以元音音素开头,需用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:2009年9月,中国篆刻艺术被列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录。根据时间状语“In September 2009”可知,此处为一般过去时,China’s seal-engraving art和add为被动关系,需用被动语态,主语为单数名词,be动词用was。故填was added。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:篆刻艺术可以追溯到商代,距今已有3000多年的历史。分析句子结构可知,已有谓语动词has,空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语,Seal-engraving art和date为逻辑主谓关系,需用现在分词形式。故填dating。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这种艺术形式在秦朝迅速发展,当时人们把自己的名字刻在器具和文件上,以表明所有权。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词the Qin dynasty,在定语从句中作时间状语,需用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:直到明代,艺术家和学者才开始使用刻有自己名字的印章来标记他们的书法和绘画的所有权。use sth. to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“使用某物做某事”,空处需填动词不定式作目的状语。故填to mark。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:1904年,在全国各地篆刻家的共同努力下,成立了西陵篆刻家协会,这是中国第一个篆刻家协会。空处需填形容词combined,作定语,修饰名词efforts。故填combined。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。上文“在全国各地篆刻家的共同努力下,成立了西陵篆刻家协会”和下文“这是中国第一个篆刻家协会”之间是并列关系,需用连词and连接。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:今天,印章在官方文件和私人信件中仍然广泛使用。be in use为固定搭配,意为“在使用中”。故填in。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:近年来,随着镌刻印章在世界范围内的流行,越来越多的人对这些物品着迷。空处作宾语,需填名词appreciation,此处为不可数名词。故填appreciation。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意同上。根据时间状语“in recent years”可知,此处使用现在完成时,主语为“an increasing number of people”,助动词用have。故填have become。

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. He wanted his father to send him a present. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. He was desperate for the day when he got the car he desired.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. He dreamed himself driving freely on the road, Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study telling him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and that how much he loved him, Afterwards, he handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man’s name embossed (凸印) in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible and never returning home.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful and secured a place in business, He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him, He had not seen him since that graduation day.

When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. Tears welling up in his eyes, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. He stood there, paralysed with shock, a car key dropping from the back of the Bible, which had a tag with the dealer’s name and the date of his graduation, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired.
How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Sometimes we don’t realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect “the packaging” to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened. We are supposed to arm ourselves with the capacity to explore the truth. A profound understanding of the world and its complexities reveals that the truth often lies beneath the surface, concealed by the veil of appearances.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一位年轻人在大学毕业时希望父亲送给他一辆他心仪已久的跑车作为礼物,但最终父亲送给他的是一本刻有他名字的精美圣经。年轻人对此非常失望和愤怒,以至于离家出走,多年未归。多年后,他事业有成,家庭美满,但当他想起年迈的父亲并决定去看望时,却得知父亲已经去世,并将所有财产留给了他。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当他到达父亲的家时,突然的悲伤和遗憾充满了他的心。”可知,第一段可描写年轻人在回到父亲家后的情感变化以及发现跑车钥匙的意外情节。
②由第二段首句内容“有多少次,我们与祝福擦肩而过,只是因为它们没有按照我们想象的样子包装好?”可知,第二段可描写我们对祝福或好运的误解和期望,以及如何通过深入探索和理解来发现真正的机遇和真相。
2.续写线索:搜索——流泪——发现车钥匙——意识到——武装自己——真相在表面下
3.词汇激活
行为类
①搜索:search through/seek through
②掉下来:drop/flop
③武装:arm/equip
情绪类

【点睛】[高分句型1] He stood there, paralysed with shock, a car key dropping from the back of the Bible, which had a tag with the dealer’s name and the date of his graduation, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. (由which引导的非限制性定语从句,who引导的限制性定语从句和that/which引导的限制性定语从句,省略了that/which)
[高分句型2] What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened. (由what引导的主语从句和由关系代词that引导限制性定语从句)
