(16岁的阿扎德在适应新学校、为友谊而挣扎、面对家庭问题的同时，也在小提琴演奏中寻求安慰。)”和The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares中的“It is a delightful read that shows independence, the true meaning of friendship and the challenges of growing up. (这是一本令人愉快的读物，它展示了独立、友谊的真谛和成长的挑战。)”可知，二者共同聚焦的是成长与友谊。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章介绍了几本不同的书，并对书的内容亮点进行了阐述，目的很可能是给寻求鼓舞人心读物推荐的读者提供参考，而不是针对痴迷冒险小说的、对青少年相关书籍感兴趣的或者计划文学主题环球旅行的读者。故选C。 B When a baby rhino (犀牛) was found weak and alone in a national park in South Africa, she, a lucky rhino. was immediately transported to the ICU at Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary (庇护所). At only a few hours old, she was struggling to survive. She needed round-the-clock care and treatments to boost her weak immune system. Getting healthy hasn’t been easy, but she hasn’t had to go on this journey alone. The baby rhino arrived at the shelter in December and was named Daisy, but another injured animal had already arrived the month before. It was a baby zebra named Modjadji. Although she isn’t the same species, she understands what Daisy has been through. Modjadji was admitted to the shelter’s ICU at the end of November after being found motionless and barely breathing on the reserve after heavy rains and storms. Modjadji was thought to be only a week old. Unlikely as their friendship may seem, Daisy and Modjadji were quick to form a deep connection. As they grew stronger and braver, their curiosity got the best of them, and they started interacting with each other. Rhinos are very social animals and require companionship. Modjadji is fantastic company for Daisy and very affectionate toward her. From drinking milk out of bottles to “helping” some of the workers with their paperwork, these adorable friends just love being around each other. We can’t get over how cute they are — and neither can the fans they’ve got on the local social media, where they love to give updates on this fantastic duo (搭档)! Once Daisy and Modjadji are healthy enough, the shelter will let them go so they can live freely with their fellow rhinos and zebras. But until that day comes, these girls have no problem being each other’s family. 4. Why did the author think Daisy was lucky? A. Though in danger, she was rescued and treated in time. B. Weak as she was, she was able to recover on her own. C. She was in good health when found in the national park. D. She could improve her immune system all by herself. 5. What can we learn about Modjadji in the second paragraph? A. She is younger than Daisy. B. She was abandoned by her mother. C. She came to the shelter later than Daisy. D. She was in poor condition when brought to the shelter. 6. Which of the following contributes to the friendship between Daisy and Modjadji? A. They share one bottle of milk. B. Daisy is in great need of companionship. C. They belong to the same species that is social. D. Modjadji often helps with the paperwork of the workers. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Daisy and Modjadji have both recovered. B. The shelter will share more details about Daisy and Modjadji. C. Daisy and Modjadji will return to the place where they lived later. D. Many fans are helping find their family for Daisy and Modjadji. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小犀牛Daisy和小斑马Modjadji被救助、在庇护所相遇并相互陪伴的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“When a baby rhino (犀牛) was found weak and alone in a national park in South Africa, she, a lucky rhino. was immediately transported to the ICU at Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary (庇护所). At only a few hours old, she was struggling to survive. She needed round-the-clock care and treatments to boost her weak immune system. (当一头小犀牛在南非的一个国家公园里被发现虚弱且独自徘徊时，这头幸运的小犀牛立即被送往‘关爱野生犀牛庇护所’的重症监护室。它仅出生几个小时，正为生存而挣扎。它需要全天候的照料和治疗来增强虚弱的免疫系统。)”可知，作者认为Daisy幸运是因为尽管她有危险，但得到了及时的救治。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Modjadji was admitted to the shelter’s ICU at the end of November after being found motionless and barely breathing on the reserve after heavy rains and storms. (Modjadji 是在11月底被收留到庇护所的重症监护室的，当时它在暴雨和风暴过后被发现躺在保护区内，一动不动，几乎没有了呼吸。)”可知，Modjadji被带到庇护所时情况很糟糕。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Rhinos are very social animals and require companionship. Modjadji is fantastic company for Daisy and very affectionate toward her. (犀牛是非常善于社交的动物，需要伙伴的陪伴。对Daisy来说，Modjadji是绝佳的伙伴，而且对她非常亲昵。)”可知，Daisy非常需要陪伴，这是Daisy和Modjadji成为朋友的原因之一。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Once Daisy and Modjadji are healthy enough, the shelter will let them go so they can live freely with their fellow rhinos and zebras. (一旦黛西和莫贾吉恢复健康，庇护所就会放它们回归自然，让它们与同类犀牛和斑马一起自由生活。)”可知，Daisy和Modjadji恢复健康后将回到它们原来生活的地方。故选C。 C When we’re tired or injured, we often go to bed earlier to recharge and mend our bodies. That’s because we often think that night is a golden time to deal with stress or injuries. But is it true? Nathaniel Hoyle, a scientist of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK, has been leading a study into this topic. The team discovered that fibroblast cells (成纤维细胞) in the body switch off at night. These cells help close up a wound after the skin is broken and lay a foundation for new skin to grow. Why exactly are these cells less active at night? It’s all to do with your body’s circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm — a 24-hour internal clock that helps your cells do their jobs on time. New Scientist reported that a group of 30 genes that control the fibroblasts worked only daytime shifts, causing the slower healing process at night. To test its theory, the Cambridge-based team examined data from the International Burn Injury Database, which records details of burn victims around the world. This analysis revealed that nighttime burns, on average, took 11 more days to heal than burns during the day. A similar result occurred while experimenting using live mice. Those that were cut during night-time hours recovered more slowly than those during the day. “You can see by eyes, when the cell is wounded only 8 hours apart from each other, in different circadian periods, the daytime wounded ones take off, and the nighttime ones drag,” research team member John O’ Neill told Science Alert. He added, “The time-varying response may be an evolutionary adaptation. As people are more likely to sustain injuries when awake than when sleeping, perhaps our bodies are prepared to respond more quickly in the daytime.” He went on to say that it could be beneficial to schedule surgeries in time with people’s circadian rhythms, earlier for early birds and later for night owls, in order to lessen recovery time. However, in any case, it might be best not to use anything sharp once the sun goes down. 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain how we recharge our bodies. B. To arouse the interest of the readers in the topic. C. To prove that everyone suffers stress and injuries. D. To introduce a new discovery for dealing with stress. 9. What do the researchers find during their research? A. Burns take the same time to heal regardless of their cut time. B. Fibroblast cells boost the healing by working nighttime shift. C. Mice respond differently in the healing process from humans. D. A body’s circadian rhythm matters in waking up fibroblast cells. 10. What can we learn according to John O’ Neill? A. People tend to bear pain more when they are asleep. B. Sharp knives are not suggested in the middle of the day. C. Night owls operated on in the nighttime may recover sooner. D. Evolution adaptation causes people’s time-varying responses. 11. What can be a suitable title for this passage? A. Why We Heal Injuries Better in the Daytime B. A Research Offers Clues to Treating Injuries C. How We Heal Wounds and Injuries Effectively D. Scientists Unlock the Secret to Avoiding Injuries 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为何白天伤口愈合更快。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“When we’re tired or injured, we often go to bed earlier to recharge and mend our bodies. That’s because we often think that night is a golden time to deal with stress or injuries. But is it true? (当我们感到疲惫或受伤时，我们往往会早睡以恢复精力、修复身体。这是因为我们常常认为夜晚是应对压力或处理伤口的黄金时间。但这是真的吗？)”可知，第一段通过提出问题，引发读者对于“夜晚是否是应对压力或受伤的黄金时间”这一话题的兴趣，从而引出下文的研究内容。所以第一段的目的是激发读者对这个话题的兴趣。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“It’s all to do with your body’s circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm — a 24-hour internal clock that helps your cells do their jobs on time. New Scientist reported that a group of 30 genes that control the fibroblasts worked only daytime shifts, causing the slower healing process at night. (这与我们身体的昼夜节律有关——一个24小时的内部时钟，帮助我们的细胞按时完成工作。《新科学家》杂志报道，一组控制成纤维细胞的30个基因只在白天工作，导致夜间伤口愈合过程较慢)”可知，研究人员在他们的研究中发现身体的昼夜节律对唤醒成纤维细胞很重要。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段“He added, “The time-varying response may be an evolutionary adaptation. As people are more likely to sustain injuries when awake than when sleeping, perhaps our bodies are prepared to respond more quickly in the daytime.” (他补充说：“这种随时间变化的反应可能是一种进化适应。因为人们在清醒时比睡觉时更容易受伤，也许我们的身体已经做好了在白天更快做出反应的准备。”)”可知，根据John O’ Neill的话，我们可以了解到进化适应导致人们的时变反应。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“When we’re tired or injured, we often go to bed earlier to recharge and mend our bodies. That’s because we often think that night is a golden time to deal with stress or injuries. But is it true? (当我们感到疲惫或受伤时，我们往往会早睡以恢复精力、修复身体。这是因为我们常常认为夜晚是应对压力或处理伤口的黄金时间。但这是真的吗？)”以及第三段“It’s all to do with your body’s circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm — a 24-hour internal clock that helps your cells do their jobs on time. New Scientist reported that a group of 30 genes that control the fibroblasts worked only daytime shifts, causing the slower healing process at night. (这与我们身体的昼夜节律有关——一个24小时的内部时钟，帮助我们的细胞按时完成工作。《新科学家》杂志报道，一组控制成纤维细胞的30个基因只在白天工作，导致夜间伤口愈合过程较慢)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项研究发现我们白天的伤口愈合得更好，这与身体的昼夜节律有关。所以A项“Why We Heal Injuries Better in the Daytime (为什么我们白天伤口愈合得更好)”适合作为本文标题。故选A。 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. 12. What does the underlined word “inhibit” mean? A. Encourage. B. Control. C. Stop. D. Maintain. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. 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。 【12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。 【13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. (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。与持续进食的小鼠相比，接受间歇性禁食的小鼠毛发再生速度较慢)”可知，研究主要是在老鼠这种动物上进行实验。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, the fasting mice experienced programmed cell death in their activated HFSCs, preventing hair regrowth. (然而，禁食的小鼠其激活的毛囊干细胞发生了程序性细胞死亡，从而阻止了毛发再生)”可知，HFSCs中的程序性细胞死亡是阻止毛发生长的原因。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由第一段中“A new study shows that the wildly popular weight-loss method could also inhibit hair growth. (一项新研究表明，这种广受欢迎的减肥方法还可能抑制头发生长)”可知，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。最适合的标题是“Intermittent Fasting: A Hairy Side Effect (间歇性禁食：一个令人头疼的副作用)”。故选A。 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。 Exam-taking doesn't come easy to many people.

In our childhood, how often did we turn a deaf ear to our parents’ advice? Very often! Thus, we landed ourselves in a situation where we greatly regretted our act of not having listened to the advice of the wise. Such an unforgettable experience I had at the age of 7 gave me an invaluable lesson, after which I deeply understood why my gentle mother was repeating the boring suggestions and I would try to take her suggestions seriously. In my childhood, I was so crazy about nature that even playing among the colorful flowers in our garden could make my day. Our house was next to the woods which had always stirred up(激起) great curiosity in me in wanting to find out what was within. Every time I saw fascinating butterflies dancing from the woods, my curiosity grew. But my mother didn’t like me wandering off on my own and always ensured that I was within her sight. Even if she allowed me to explore the surrounding area on my own, it was only to be somewhere near the house. Being as curious as the cat, I always desired to explore the woods. It seemed as if my mother had understood my desire, so she had warmed me on lots of occasions never to enter the woods alone. “Mom, can I go out and play in the garden?” I asked. “Sure,” she would reply each time. “Kate, you can play in the garden but you must promise me one thing—only when I’m with you can you go into the woods. There are no cases of animal attacks on humans, but it’s still dangerous for a little kid like you. It’s too easy to get lost in the woods.” “Sure, you’ve said that many times!” I answered without patience at her repeated reminders. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 1 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. Ignoring my mother’s reminder, I slid into the forbidden world. How fascinating! Among various colorful flowers danced butterflies. With excitement, I chased after the graceful creatures, running deeper into the woods. Suddenly they flew over trees and disappeared. What’s worse, I got lost! I rushed around, crying for help, frightened and helpless, but in vain. I repeated the useless efforts until sunset. “If only I followed Mom’s reminder!” I curled up under a tree, in bitter regret and cried again. “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. “Mom! I’m here!” Wild with joy, I rushed towards where the voice came from. Behind a tree appeared my mother. She dashed up, hugged me tight and checked whether I got hurt. “I’m so sorry! I should have appreciated your suggestion!” I burst into tears. Wiping tears from my muddy face, she repeated the reminders, which weren’t boring any more, but wise and affectionate, and were implanted in my life forever. 参考范文 2 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. I summoned up my courage and decided to take a chance. Hardly had I entered the woods when I was totally attracted by the sight. The wandering clouds, the blooming flowers and the vigorous trees all kept me spellbound. At the sight of a beautiful butterfly, I tiptoed along the path, bent over, cupped my hands gently and danced with it down the track. Time flew and before I knew it, I was deep in the woods, unable to find the way out. With a feeling of horror totally holding me in its power, I squatted down under a tree, tears rolling down my cheeks. “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. Hearing my mom’s voice, I yelled in a quivering tone, rushed towards her direction and threw my arms around her. Noticing my misty eyes, she patted me on the shoulders and checked whether I got hurt. Choked with emotion, I whispered, “I am OK, Mom. I will never go into the woods without your company and permission.” Shooting me an approving look, she added, “Next time you want to come, keep me informed!” In the setting sun, we headed back and this time, I held my mom’s hand tightly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述我对家附近的小森林充满了好奇心，但是妈妈总是提醒我不能独自进入森林。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“然而，一天早上，好奇心战胜了我。”可知，本段可以写我被森林里的一切所吸引，越走越远，然后就迷路了。 ②由第二段首句内容““凯特？”在夕阳的余晖笼罩下的树林后面传来了母亲的声音。”可知，本段可以写妈妈找到我，我明白了父母建议的重要性以及其中的智慧。 2. 续写线索：我进入森林深处——我迷路——我哭泣后悔——妈妈出现——我明白道理 3. 词类激活 行为类 ①哭：cry/weep/burst into tears ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③跑：rush/dash/run 情绪类 ①迷人的：fascinating/charming/attractive/fascinating ②兴奋：excitement/stimulation ③快乐：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】She dashed up, hugged me tight and checked whether I got hurt.

B When a baby rhino (犀牛) was found weak and alone in a national park in South Africa, she, a lucky rhino. was immediately transported to the ICU at Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary (庇护所). At only a few hours old, she was struggling to survive. She needed round-the-clock care and treatments to boost her weak immune system. Getting healthy hasn’t been easy, but she hasn’t had to go on this journey alone. The baby rhino arrived at the shelter in December and was named Daisy, but another injured animal had already arrived the month before. It was a baby zebra named Modjadji. Although she isn’t the same species, she understands what Daisy has been through. Modjadji was admitted to the shelter’s ICU at the end of November after being found motionless and barely breathing on the reserve after heavy rains and storms. Modjadji was thought to be only a week old. Unlikely as their friendship may seem, Daisy and Modjadji were quick to form a deep connection. As they grew stronger and braver, their curiosity got the best of them, and they started interacting with each other. Rhinos are very social animals and require companionship. Modjadji is fantastic company for Daisy and very affectionate toward her. From drinking milk out of bottles to “helping” some of the workers with their paperwork, these adorable friends just love being around each other. We can’t get over how cute they are — and neither can the fans they’ve got on the local social media, where they love to give updates on this fantastic duo (搭档)! Once Daisy and Modjadji are healthy enough, the shelter will let them go so they can live freely with their fellow rhinos and zebras. But until that day comes, these girls have no problem being each other’s family. 4. Why did the author think Daisy was lucky? A. Though in danger, she was rescued and treated in time. B. Weak as she was, she was able to recover on her own. C. She was in good health when found in the national park. D. She could improve her immune system all by herself. 5.

Many fans are helping find their family for Daisy and Modjadji. C When we’re tired or injured, we often go to bed earlier to recharge and mend our bodies. That’s because we often think that night is a golden time to deal with stress or injuries. But is it true? Nathaniel Hoyle, a scientist of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK, has been leading a study into this topic. The team discovered that fibroblast cells (成纤维细胞) in the body switch off at night. These cells help close up a wound after the skin is broken and lay a foundation for new skin to grow. Why exactly are these cells less active at night? It’s all to do with your body’s circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm — a 24-hour internal clock that helps your cells do their jobs on time. New Scientist reported that a group of 30 genes that control the fibroblasts worked only daytime shifts, causing the slower healing process at night. To test its theory, the Cambridge-based team examined data from the International Burn Injury Database, which records details of burn victims around the world. This analysis revealed that nighttime burns, on average, took 11 more days to heal than burns during the day. A similar result occurred while experimenting using live mice. Those that were cut during night-time hours recovered more slowly than those during the day. “You can see by eyes when the cell is wounded only 8 hours apart from each other, in different circadian periods, the daytime wounded ones take off, and the nighttime ones drag,” research team member John O’ Neill told Science Alert. He added, “The time-varying response may be an evolutionary adaptation. As people are more likely to sustain injuries when awake than when sleeping, perhaps our bodies are prepared to respond more quickly in the daytime.” He went on to say that it could be beneficial to schedule surgeries in time with people’s circadian rhythms, earlier for early birds and later for night owls, in order to lessen recovery time. However, in any case, it might be best not to use anything sharp once the sun goes down. 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain how we recharge our bodies. B. To arouse the interest of the readers in the topic. C. To prove that everyone suffers stress and injuries. D. To introduce a new discovery for dealing with stress. 9. What do the researchers find during their research? A. Burns take the same time to heal regardless of their cut time. B. Fibroblast cells boost the healing by working nighttime shift. C. Mice respond differently in the healing process from humans. D. A body’s circadian rhythm matters in waking up fibroblast cells. 10. What can we learn according to John O’ Neill? A. People tend to bear pain more when they are asleep. B. Sharp knives are not suggested in the middle of the day. C. Night owls operated on in the nighttime may recover sooner. D. Evolution adaptation causes people’s time-varying responses. 11. What can be a suitable title for this passage? A. Why We Heal Injuries Better in the Daytime B. A Research Offers Clues to Treating Injuries C. How We Heal Wounds and Injuries Effectively D. Scientists Unlock the Secret to Avoiding Injuries 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. 12. What does the underlined word “inhibit” mean? A. Encourage. B. Control. C. Stop. D. Maintain. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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。 Exam-taking doesn't come easy to many people.

In our childhood, how often did we turn a deaf ear to our parents’ advice? Very often! Thus, we landed ourselves in a situation where we greatly regretted our act of not having listened to the advice of the wise. Such an unforgettable experience I had at the age of 7 gave me an invaluable lesson, after which I deeply understood why my gentle mother was repeating the boring suggestions and I would try to take her suggestions seriously. In my childhood, I was so crazy about nature that even playing among the colorful flowers in our garden could make my day. Our house was next to the woods which had always stirred up(激起) great curiosity in me in wanting to find out what was within. Every time I saw fascinating butterflies dancing from the woods, my curiosity grew. But my mother didn’t like me wandering off on my own and always ensured that I was within her sight. Even if she allowed me to explore the surrounding area on my own, it was only to be somewhere near the house. Being as curious as the cat, I always desired to explore the woods. It seemed as if my mother had understood my desire, so she had warmed me on lots of occasions never to enter the woods alone. “Mom, can I go out and play in the garden?” I asked. “Sure,” she would reply each time. “Kate, you can play in the garden but you must promise me one thing—only when I’m with you can you go into the woods. There are no cases of animal attacks on humans, but it’s still dangerous for a little kid like you. It’s too easy to get lost in the woods.” “Sure, you’ve said that many times!” I answered without patience at her repeated reminders. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
