I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had. The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock, and shielding soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium. Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 24. How did the author use to improve the soil? A. By adding rich soil. B. By covering it with bags. C. By removing the weeds. D. By applying chemical fertilizer. 25. What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Exposing. B. Separating. C. Sheltering. D. Monitoring. 26. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To explain the process of transplanting. B. To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks. C. To stress the competition of different species. D. To state the formation of multi-species communities. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Soul of Soil B. The Vitality of the Wild C. The Art of Gardening D. The Whisper of Flowers 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文 。文章讲述作者四年前在波特兰买房后打理花园，面对贫瘠土壤，采用现代农业方法改良，最终对土壤有全新认知的过程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery.(以前，在那些小得多的花园里，我会用从苗圃买来的几袋优质土壤来改良土壤)”可知，作者过去是通过添加优质土壤来改善土壤的，也就是添加肥沃的土壤。故选A项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock(现代农业的两个核心原则可以指导这一转变：尽量减少土壤扰动和强调生物多样性。在实践中，轮流种植作物；优先使用有机肥料而非化肥；将农作物、树木以及家畜进行整合)”和划线词后面“…soil from being washed away with cover crops (用覆盖作物来……土壤被冲走)”可知，这里说的是一些现代农业的原则及实践方法，提到用覆盖作物来防止土壤被冲走，划线词在此处应是“保护、防护”的意思，与“Sheltering”意思相近。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium.(五月的时候，我决定移栽一株开花植物。当我把这株植物挖出来时，各种各样的生物都冒了出来。蚯蚓在根部扭动着，一只长脚蜘蛛匆匆寻找藏身之处。在这株植物的下方，我甚至还看到了真菌菌丝体那细密的白色网状结构)”可知，本段描述了作者在移栽开花植物时，看到了蚯蚓、长脚蜘蛛以及真菌菌丝体等各种各样的生物出现，展现了多种生物共存的情况，目的是说明形成了多物种的群落。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. (摆在我面前的挑战是重振土壤)”和最后一段“Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right.(我用手指穿过土壤，比以往任何时候都更清楚地意识到，我改变的不仅仅是我的院子——它完全改变了我对土壤的看法。它不仅仅是作为生命的媒介，而且本身就是一个有生命的实体)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者打理花园改造土壤的过程，通过实践对土壤有了新的认识，认为土壤不仅仅是生命的介质，它本身就是一个有生命的个体，强调了土壤的重要性及独特“生命力”，因此，A选项“土壤的灵魂”作为标题最为合适，能够概括文章的主旨。故选A项。 C Good sportsmanship is the practice of engaging in sports with a spirit of fairness, respect, and good manners, regardless of the competitive pressure. It represents the spirits of playing by the rules, honoring both teammates and opponents, and exhibiting grace whether in victory or defeat. The significance of good sportsmanship extends far beyond the playing field. It is vital for maintaining the spirits and integrity of sports. Athletes who exemplify good sportsmanship help to create a competitive but friendly environment that enhances the enjoyment of the game for everyone involved: players, coaches, officials, and so on. Firstly, good sportsmanship promotes a positive atmosphere that encourages everyone to participate and give their best. It fosters a sense of community and teamwork, which is crucial for collective success in team sports. When athletes display respect and fairness, it helps to build trust and strengthens relationships among team members, which can translate into better performance and more cohesive play. Secondly, good sportsmanship serves as a model for younger athletes, who look up to higher-level players as role models. The behavior exhibited by these role models can significantly influence the attitudes and actions of younger participants towards the sport and competition in general. By practicing good sportsmanship, seasoned athletes set a standard for upcoming generations, teaching them that success is not just about winning but about how you play the game. Moreover, good sportsmanship is essential for the reputation and sustainability of sports. Negative behavior or unsportsmanlike conduct can damage the public awareness of a sport and can lead to decreased participation rates, sponsorship, and support. In contrast, sports characterized by high levels of sportsmanship are more likely to be viewed positively, attracting more players and audiences, and increasing the overall reach and impact of the sport. In this way, good sportsmanship not only enhances personal and team success but also upholds the dignity and appeal of sports as a whole. It ensures that sports remain a valuable tool for teaching important life skills such as respect and teamwork. 28. What does paragraph l intend to tell us? A. The competitive pressure. B. Good manners in the sports fields. C. The influence of sportsmanship. D. True meaning of sportsmanship. 29. Why is good sportsmanship beneficial to younger athletes? A. It sets a good example to them. B. It teaches them how to play well. C. It raises the enjoyment of the game. D. It creates a competitive environment. 30. Why does the author mention negative behavior in sports? A. To tell a common phenomenon. B. To introduce a clear comparison. C. To criticize bad behavior in sports. D. To warn us of unsportsmanlike conduct. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. What sportsmanship includes? B. How we can build sportsmanship? C. Why sportsmanship is important? D. When sportsmanship gets reflected? 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了良好体育精神的重要性，包括其对运动环境、年轻运动员的榜样作用、以及对体育声誉和可持续性的影响。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Good sportsmanship is the practice of engaging in sports with a spirit of fairness, respect, and good manners, regardless of the competitive pressure. It represents the spirits of playing by the rules, honoring both teammates and opponents, and exhibiting grace whether in victory or defeat. The significance of good sportsmanship extends far beyond the playing field. It is vital for maintaining the spirits and integrity of sports.(良好的体育精神是指在不受竞争压力影响的情况下，以公平、尊重和礼貌的精神参与体育运动。它代表着遵守规则、尊重队友和对手的精神，无论在胜利还是失败中都表现出优雅。良好体育精神的意义远远超出了运动场。对于维护体育的精神和完整性至关重要。)”可知，第一段主要解释了良好体育精神的真正含义，即公平、尊重和礼貌的精神，以及它的重要性。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“good sportsmanship serves as a model for younger athletes, who look up to higher-level players as role models. The behavior exhibited by these role models can significantly influence the attitudes and actions of younger participants towards the sport and competition in general. By practicing good sportsmanship, seasoned athletes set a standard for upcoming generations, teaching them that success is not just about winning but about how you play the game.(良好的体育精神是年轻运动员的榜样，他们把高水平的运动员视为榜样。这些榜样所展现的行为可以显著影响年轻参与者对这项运动和整体竞争的态度和行动。通过实践良好的体育精神，经验丰富的运动员为下一代树立了标准，教导他们成功不仅仅是关于赢，而是关于你如何比赛。)”可知，良好的体育精神对年轻运动员有益是因为它为他们树立了一个好榜样，教会他们成功不仅仅是赢得比赛，更在于如何比赛。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Negative behavior or unsportsmanlike conduct can damage the public awareness of a sport and can lead to decreased participation rates, sponsorship, and support.”(负面行为或非体育行为可能会损害公众对一项运动的认知，并可能导致参与率、赞助和支持的减少。)以及最后一段“ In contrast, sports characterized by high levels of sportsmanship are more likely to be viewed positively, attracting more players and audiences, and increasing the overall reach and impact of the sport.”(相比之下，具有良好体育精神特征的运动更有可能被视为积极的，吸引更多的运动员和观众，并增加运动的总体影响力和影响力。)”可知，作者提到体育运动中的负面行为是为了与良好体育精神进行对比，突出良好体育精神对体育运动的积极影响。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了良好体育精神的重要性，包括其对运动环境、年轻运动员的榜样作用、以及对体育声誉和可持续性的影响，所以选项C“为什么体育精神很重要？”最能概括文章主旨，可以作为这篇文章的合适标题。故选C。 D Kilos are not the only thing that intermittent fasting (间歇性禁食) will help you lose. A new study shows that the wildly popular weight-loss method could also inhibit hair growth. Intermittent fasting is a time-restricted diet, where the day’s calorie intake is consumed over an 8-12 hour period, with fasting for the remaining hours. Research tracking participants on such diets for three months to a year has shown benefits like weight loss, improved heart health, and better control of blood sugar. These reported benefits have made intermittent fasting a global trend. However, not all outcomes of intermittent fasting are positive. A recent study published on December 13 in Cell is among the first to link intermittent fasting with hair loss. The study found that intermittent fasting could block hair follicle (毛囊) regeneration by causing programmed cell death in activated hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). Mice subjected to intermittent fasting showed slower hair regeneration compared to those with constant food access. Though similar results were found in humans in a small clinical trial, the researchers cautioned that the effects might be less severe in humans due to their slower body processes and different hair growth patterns. The researchers discovered that intermittent fasting slows hair growth because hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) struggle to handle oxidative stress (氧化应激) when the body switches from burning sugar to fat for energy. Normally, HFSCs alternate between activity and rest, and hair regrowth depends on these cells becoming active. In the study, mice with constant food access had active HFSCs after being shaved, and their hair regrew normally. However, the fasting mice experienced programmed cell death in their activated HFSCs, preventing hair regrowth. Although these findings are significant, they are based on initial studies. Larger trials are needed to better understand how intermittent fasting affects hair growth, as individual responses may vary. 32. What does the underlined word “inhibit” mean? A. Encourage. B. Control. C. Stop. D. Maintain. 33. What was the primary research method used in the study? A. Animal testing on mice. B. Observational study of diet habits. C. Laboratory analysis of hair follicles. D. Long-term clinical trial with humans. 34. What prevents hair growth in fasting mice? A. Different hair growth patterns. B. Slow oxidative stress response. C. Programmed cell death in HFSCs. D. Activation of hair follicle stem cells. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. Intermittent Fasting: A Hairy Side Effect B. Intermittent Fasting: friendly or frightening? C. Intermittent Fasting and Hair Loss: A Delicate Balance D. Intermittent Fasting and Weight Loss: A Complex Link 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了间歇性禁食的好处与潜在的副作用，尤其是它对头发生长的影响。研究表明，间歇性禁食不仅能带来减重、改善心脏健康和血糖控制等好处，但也可能通过诱发毛囊干细胞的程序性细胞死亡，抑制头发生长。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“A new study shows that the wildly popular weight-loss method could also inhibit hair growth. (一项新的研究表明，这种广受欢迎的减肥方法也可能inhibit头发生长)”、第三段中“The study found that intermittent fasting could block hair follicle (毛囊) regeneration by causing programmed cell death in activated hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). (研究发现，间歇性禁食会导致激活的毛囊干细胞（HFSCs）发生程序性细胞死亡，从而阻碍毛囊再生)”、第四段中“The researchers discovered that intermittent fasting slows hair growth because hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) struggle to handle oxidative stress (氧化应激) when the body switches from burning sugar to fat for energy. (研究人员发现，间歇性禁食会减缓头发生长，因为在身体从燃烧糖分转为燃烧脂肪供能时，毛囊干细胞（HFSCs）难以应对氧化应激)”可知，一项新的研究表明，这种广受欢迎的减肥方法还可能抑制头发生长。inhibit意思是“阻碍，抑制”。与选项C“Stop (阻止)”意思相符。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The study found that intermittent fasting could block hair follicle (毛囊) regeneration by causing programmed cell death in activated hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). Mice subjected to intermittent fasting showed slower hair regeneration compared to those with constant food access.

However, well-paid jobs aren’t easy ________ (find), so I don’t know what I’m going to do. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】to find 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，高薪的工作不容易找到，所以我不知道我要做什么。此处为固定句型sth.+be+adj.+ to do，不定式to do用主动形式表被动含义。故填to find。 57. They were the first people ________ (make) it to Greenland. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】to make 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他们是第一批到达格陵兰岛人。名词people由序数词修饰，后跟不定式作后置定语。故填to make。 58. I’m writing to apply for a position at Student Post which I saw________ (advertise) in the school newspaper last week. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】advertised 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我正在申请学生邮报的一个职位，该职位是我上周在学校报纸上看到的广告。空处为非谓语动词position与advertise为被动关系，用过去分词作定语。故填advertised。 59. It’s the key to ________ (create) a connection with people. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】creating 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这是与人建立联系的关键。此处为短语the key to doing sth.表示“做某事的关键”，填动名词作to宾语。故填creating。 60. ________ the challenges, there have been some highly successful films made from popular books. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】Despite 【解析】 【详解】考查介词。句意：尽管存在这些挑战，但还是有一些根据畅销书改编的电影非常成功。后跟名词作宾语，表示让步，意为“尽管”用介词despite，首字母大写。故填Despite。 61. I, like many people, have often left the cinema ________ (feel) “the film is not like the book”.

As present-day advertisers often have large budgets, huge amounts of money ________ (spend) applying modern design techniques to make these advertisements as visually attractive as possible. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】are spent 【解析】 【详解】考查时态语态。句意：由于现在的广告商经常有大量的预算，大量的钱花在应用现代设计技术上，使这些广告在视觉上尽可能地吸引人。根据句子主语huge amounts of money可知，谓语要与amounts保持一致，因此谓语动词需要使用复数，因为主语money与spend是被动关系，根据present-day可知，需使用一般现在时的被动语态，故填are spent。 63. All things________ (consider), though, it must be one the most beautiful and splendid films ever made. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】considered 【解析】 【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意：然而，考虑到所有的事情，它一定是有史以来最美丽、最精彩的电影之一。此处为独立主格结构作状语，且consider与逻辑主语all things之间为被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填considered。 64. They anticipate ________ (move) a new house by the end of the year. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】moving 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他们预计在年底前搬进一所新房子。anticipate doing sth.为固定搭配，表示“预期做某事”，所以空处应用动名词形式作宾语。故填moving。 65. The deadline for the________ (submit) of the project proposals is next Monday(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】submission 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：项目提案提交的截止日期是下周一。submit是个动词，意思是“提交”，根据横线前的the和其后of判断，横线处应该填入名词构成名词所有格，submit的名词是submission，符合题意。故答案是submission。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你校下周日有两个志愿者活动同时举行，一个在火车站，另一个在市文化博物馆。你的交换生朋友Peter不知道选择哪一个参加，写信向你寻求建议。请你写一封回信，内容包括 1.给出建议 2.说明理由 Dear Peter, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter, Thanks for reaching out!

One day, when she visited her friend Alice, she saw a beautiful bird in a cage on the balcony of the house. Alice told her it was her new pet. “How beautiful it is!” Dora said. “I also want to have such a bird as my pet.” That day when Dora returned home, she told her mother about Alice’s bird. Then she asked, “Mom, can I also get a bird?” “Of course, you can,” her mother replied. “But you need to wait because I’ve no time to go to a pet store these days.” Dora agreed. One day, when Dora was back home from school, she saw a cage in the living room. In the cage was a beautiful blue bird. Her mother was standing next to the cage, smiling. “Oh, a bird!” Dora shouted happily. She ran to it and looked at it happily. “It’s a birthday gift for you,” her mother said. “Thank you, Mom. I love it so much!” Dora shouted excitedly. The following day, Dora invited her friends to come over to see her bird. All of her friends said it was a really beautiful bird and Dora was very glad to hear that. She and her friends played with the bird for a long time that day. Her friends all wished they could have such a bird as their pet. Sadly, a few weeks later, Dora became sick. The doctor told her parents that she got the flu and had to stay at home. In order not to make her friends sick, her parents asked her friends not to come to play with her. Dora felt very sad. How she wished her friends would come and visit her! But she knew her parents were right. She’d better stay alone. Since Dora had no one to play with, she could only play with her bird. However, she felt that her bird didn’t seem to be happy either. Paragraph 1: Dora watched her bird in silence. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When her mother came inside, Dora told her mother about her decision. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Dora watched her bird in silence. She found her bird kept looking out of the window. In the trees outside, many birds were playing gladly. She thought that perhaps her bird didn’t like being kept in the cage at all, just as she hoped to stay with her friends. Before she got sick, she didn’t think a lot about her bird. Now, Dora realized she shouldn’t selfishly take away its freedom for her own enjoyment. Paragraph 2: When her mother came inside, Dora told her mother about her decision. She said, “Mom, can you set my bird free?” Her mother was surprised and asked why. “I’m sure it also wants friends,” Dora said. Her mother agreed. She opened the cage and the bird cheerfully flew out of the window. A few days later, Dora could play with her friends again. How excited she was! And when she looked out at the birds in the trees, she knew her bird must be very happy at that moment. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了七岁女孩Dora收到了一只鸟作为生日礼物，她邀请朋友来看这只鸟，所有的朋友都说很漂亮，Dora非常开心，不幸的是，几周后Dora生病了，为了不传染给朋友，父母要求她在家待着，Dora感到很难过，只能和小鸟玩，但她发现小鸟似乎也不快乐。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Dora默默地看着她的小鸟。”可知，第一段可描写Dora看到鸟玩耍的场景意识到小鸟也需要自由。 ②由第二段首句内容“妈妈进来后，Dora把自己的决定告诉了妈妈。”可知，第二段可描写Dora将小鸟放生及再次看到树上的小鸟时的感悟。 2.续写线索：发现小鸟往窗外看——意识到小鸟需要自由——告诉妈妈自己的决定——放生——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①生病：get sick/fall ill ②询问：ask/inquire ③同意：agree/approve 情绪类 ①高兴：gladly/delightedly ②惊讶：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] She thought that perhaps her bird didn’t like being kept in the cage at all.

B When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had. The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock, and shielding soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium. Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 24. How did the author use to improve the soil? A. By adding rich soil. B. By covering it with bags. C. By removing the weeds. D. By applying chemical fertilizer. 25. What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Exposing. B. Separating. C. Sheltering. D. Monitoring. 26. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To explain the process of transplanting. B. To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks. C. To stress the competition of different species. D. To state the formation of multi-species communities. 27 What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Soul of Soil B. The Vitality of the Wild C. The Art of Gardening D. The Whisper of Flowers C Good sportsmanship is the practice of engaging in sports with a spirit of fairness, respect, and good manners, regardless of the competitive pressure. It represents the spirits of playing by the rules, honoring both teammates and opponents, and exhibiting grace whether in victory or defeat. The significance of good sportsmanship extends far beyond the playing field. It is vital for maintaining the spirits and integrity of sports. Athletes who exemplify good sportsmanship help to create a competitive but friendly environment that enhances the enjoyment of the game for everyone involved: players, coaches, officials, and so on. Firstly, good sportsmanship promotes a positive atmosphere that encourages everyone to participate and give their best. It fosters a sense of community and teamwork, which is crucial for collective success in team sports. When athletes display respect and fairness, it helps to build trust and strengthens relationships among team members, which can translate into better performance and more cohesive play. Secondly, good sportsmanship serves as a model for younger athletes, who look up to higher-level players as role models. The behavior exhibited by these role models can significantly influence the attitudes and actions of younger participants towards the sport and competition in general. By practicing good sportsmanship, seasoned athletes set a standard for upcoming generations, teaching them that success is not just about winning but about how you play the game. Moreover, good sportsmanship is essential for the reputation and sustainability of sports. Negative behavior or unsportsmanlike conduct can damage the public awareness of a sport and can lead to decreased participation rates, sponsorship, and support. In contrast, sports characterized by high levels of sportsmanship are more likely to be viewed positively, attracting more players and audiences, and increasing the overall reach and impact of the sport. In this way, good sportsmanship not only enhances personal and team success but also upholds the dignity and appeal of sports as a whole. It ensures that sports remain a valuable tool for teaching important life skills such as respect and teamwork. 28. What does paragraph l intend to tell us? A. The competitive pressure. B Good manners in the sports fields. C. The influence of sportsmanship. D. True meaning of sportsmanship. 29. Why is good sportsmanship beneficial to younger athletes? A. It sets a good example to them. B. It teaches them how to play well. C. It raises the enjoyment of the game. D. It creates a competitive environment. 30. Why does the author mention negative behavior in sports? A To tell a common phenomenon. B. To introduce a clear comparison. C. To criticize bad behavior in sports. D. To warn us of unsportsmanlike conduct. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. What sportsmanship includes? B. How we can build sportsmanship? C. Why sportsmanship is important? D. When sportsmanship gets reflected? D Kilos are not the only thing that intermittent fasting (间歇性禁食) will help you lose. A new study shows that the wildly popular weight-loss method could also inhibit hair growth. Intermittent fasting is a time-restricted diet, where the day’s calorie intake is consumed over an 8-12 hour period, with fasting for the remaining hours. Research tracking participants on such diets for three months to a year has shown benefits like weight loss, improved heart health, and better control of blood sugar. These reported benefits have made intermittent fasting a global trend. However, not all outcomes of intermittent fasting are positive. A recent study published on December 13 in Cell is among the first to link intermittent fasting with hair loss. The study found that intermittent fasting could block hair follicle (毛囊) regeneration by causing programmed cell death in activated hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). Mice subjected to intermittent fasting showed slower hair regeneration compared to those with constant food access. Though similar results were found in humans in a small clinical trial, the researchers cautioned that the effects might be less severe in humans due to their slower body processes and different hair growth patterns. The researchers discovered that intermittent fasting slows hair growth because hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) struggle to handle oxidative stress (氧化应激) when the body switches from burning sugar to fat for energy. Normally, HFSCs alternate between activity and rest, and hair regrowth depends on these cells becoming active. In the study, mice with constant food access had active HFSCs after being shaved, and their hair regrew normally. However, the fasting mice experienced programmed cell death in their activated HFSCs, preventing hair regrowth. Although these findings are significant, they are based on initial studies. Larger trials are needed to better understand how intermittent fasting affects hair growth, as individual responses may vary. 32. What does the underlined word “inhibit” mean? A. Encourage. B. Control. C. Stop. D. Maintain. 33. What was the primary research method used in the study? A. Animal testing on mice. B. Observational study of diet habits. C. Laboratory analysis of hair follicles. D. Long-term clinical trial with humans. 34. What prevents hair growth in fasting mice? A. Different hair growth patterns. B. Slow oxidative stress response. C. Programmed cell death in HFSCs. D. Activation of hair follicle stem cells. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. Intermittent Fasting: A Hairy Side Effect B. Intermittent Fasting: friendly or frightening? C. Intermittent Fasting and Hair Loss: A Delicate Balance D. Intermittent Fasting and Weight Loss: A Complex Link 第二节(共5小题;每小题 2. 5 分，满分 12. 5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life is a journey filled with victories and setbacks, and the key lies in how we respond to each challenge. ____36____ Below are practical steps to help create a fresh chapter in life. ____37____ Imagine a line marking the end of struggle sand the start of new opportunities.

One day, when she visited her friend Alice, she saw a beautiful bird in a cage on the balcony of the house. Alice told her it was her new pet. “How beautiful it is!” Dora said. “I also want to have such a bird as my pet.” That day when Dora returned home, she told her mother about Alice’s bird. Then she asked, “Mom, can I also get a bird?” “Of course, you can,” her mother replied. “But you need to wait because I’ve no time to go to a pet store these days.” Dora agreed. One day, when Dora was back home from school, she saw a cage in the living room. In the cage was a beautiful blue bird. Her mother was standing next to the cage, smiling. “Oh, a bird!” Dora shouted happily. She ran to it and looked at it happily. “It’s a birthday gift for you,” her mother said. “Thank you, Mom. I love it so much!” Dora shouted excitedly. The following day, Dora invited her friends to come over to see her bird. All of her friends said it was a really beautiful bird and Dora was very glad to hear that. She and her friends played with the bird for a long time that day. Her friends all wished they could have such a bird as their pet. Sadly, a few weeks later, Dora became sick. The doctor told her parents that she got the flu and had to stay at home. In order not to make her friends sick, her parents asked her friends not to come to play with her. Dora felt very sad. How she wished her friends would come and visit her! But she knew her parents were right. She’d better stay alone. Since Dora had no one to play with, she could only play with her bird. However, she felt that her bird didn’t seem to be happy either. Paragraph 1: Dora watched her bird in silence. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When her mother came inside, Dora told her mother about her decision. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
