Small Breaks, Big Benefits Training for a marathon is one route to fitness and building very short “micro walks” into your day may also be a path to better health. Researchers found that when people broke up a walk into periods of 10 to 30 seconds, ___21___ short breaks in between, they used up to 60 per cent more energy than covering the same stretch in one go. According to the professor of the University of Milan, Dr Francesco Luciano, ___22___ led the study, the main message should be that brief moments of physical activity, such as getting to your feet to make a cup of tea, can make a surprisingly large difference to ___23___ calories you burn. “Breaking up motionless periods with brief walk greatly increases energy consumed daily and ___24___ (improve) health.” This is the direct quote from Dr Francesco Luciano and his colleagues in Proceedings B, an influential journal ___25___ (publish) to present the latest biological research. The NHS recommends that adults aged 19 to 64 get at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of intense activity weekly. However, research has presented conclusive evidence that even very short intervals of activity ___26___ be beneficial. The latest research, which hundreds of participants took part in, involved ___27___ (measure) the amount of energy people consumed while walking on an exercise machine or climbing stairs. Ten volunteers walked or climbed for different amounts of time, including short intervals of either 10 or 30 seconds, or longer ___28___ of up to four minutes. After each period of activity, they paused for several minutes. “We found that walking in ___29___ (short) periods requires more energy — and more oxygen — to cover the same walking length, compared to covering it continuously. It’s like a car using more fuel during the first few kilometres,” he said. While breaking long walks into short intervals might not be practical in terms of length covered, Luciano emphasized that ___30___ possible, people should take a few steps to break up sitting time. Section B Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. adapting B. cast C. dimension D. distance E. evident F. picture G. preparatory H. referring I. solidified J. sought K. tune Audrey Flack — A Photo-realist Representative The photo-realist movement, emerging in the late 1960s and 1970s in the United States and Europe, desired to produce works indistinguishable from high-resolution photographs. Audrey Flack, an American painter and sculptor whose choice of subject matter added a(n) ____31____ to the movement, was one of the first artists to use a projection of a photograph as an aid to painting. Flack graduated from Yale with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1952 and was influenced by her teacher’s Abstract Expressionist style, ____32____ in her early work. The next year she studied art history at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. During the late 1950s Flack began to ____33____ herself from this style, which she felt did not communicate effectively or clearly with viewers. She looked to artists such as Spanish Baroque artist Luisa Roldán as models. One representative of her photo-realist paintings was Macarena of Miracles, directly ____34____ to Roldán’s sculpture Virgen de la Macarena, La Esperanza. During the 1960s, the artist continued to ____35____ her photographic method and her subject matter. Unlike male photo-realists such as Richard Estes and Chuck Close, who chose subjects that avoided emotional content, Flack ____36____ to convey a broader meaning through her work. While going on to create works with sociopolitical commentary, she started to ____37____ everyday items such as handbags and makeup, using them to question their role in shaping female identity. A significant painting from this period, Farb Family Portrait (1969–70), was the result of a new working technique. Starting with a slide of the family portrait (肖像), Flack ____38____ the photo onto the canvas (画布) and used it as her guide for painting. This method relieved her of having to make ____39____ drawings. She also developed a method of applying paint in layers with an airbrush. Using those innovations, Flack masterfully created a number of symbolic works. Through these practices, Flack ____40____ her role as a pioneer who expanded photorealism beyond mere copying, implanting it with layered narratives about identity and societal norms. II.

(A) For 24-year-old Zaire Perry in Texas, making a humble Chinese egg dish she had never heard of a few months ago was the beginning of an unexpected friendship. It began when Perry came across jidan geng, or steamed egg custard, on a popular China-based social platform. Many Americans who came to the platform are inspired to make an attempt at Chinese recipes. Then steamed egg custard, a salty dish not commonly found in Chinese restaurants in U.S., became extremely popular. Perry was itching to start steaming eggs but was at a loss with the many recipes floating around, until she connected with Hu Xiaoman, a 35-year-old mother in central China. Hu shared her family’s recipe and then applauded Perry’s first attempt as a huge success: silky but firm custard covered with a thin layer of sauce, topped off with spring onions. Hu called Perry “a cooking genius.” Steamed egg custard, involves just eggs, water and salt — simple at first glance, but even Chinese cooks who try it for the first time often fail to get the water-egg proportion right and either overcook or undercook the eggs. Many other Chinese users also clicked their approval on Perry’s post and on the steamed-egg experiments of other Americans. For Hu and Perry, steamed eggs were just the start. Separated by a 14-hour time difference and a language barrier, the two started sharing cooking tips. Hu said she was surprised to learn from Perry’s recipes that a lot of American dishes are served warm. “My impression of American foods was that they are mostly cold, such as bread slices or salads. Her food made me feel warm, the warmth of family.” From Texas, Perry said, “Food is something that can go beyond language or cultural barriers. I don’t even speak Chinese and she speaks very little English, and yet we’re bonding over recipes.” With the help of recent translation feature on the platform, Hu and Perry have gone on to share experiences and photos of their daily lives, mirroring the upgrade of friendly interactions between Americans and Chinese people. As many netizens have recognized, the platform’s focus on cultural content such as lifestyle and traveling does contribute to the change. 56. The word “itching” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”. A. eager B. hesitant C. grateful D. uncomfortable 57. What can we learn about steamed egg custard? A. Chinese restaurants in U.S. help make it popular. B. Beginners are likely to undercook or overcook it. C. The simple recipe makes the dish learner-friendly. D. The right water-egg proportion is mastered by few. 58. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Hu and Perry shared cooking tips and photographic skills. B. Hu encouraged Perry to become a cook in a Chinese restaurant. C. Perry helped to resolve Hu’s misunderstanding of American dishes. D. Perry’s post of eggs aroused other Americans’ interest in Chinese dishes. 59. The passage is intended to convey the message that ______. A. a recipe in need is a recipe indeed B. steamed eggs can be a cultural symbol in China C. cuisine is an entrance into friendship and cultural exchange D. social media should be widely used to overcome language barriers （B） Thank you for your interest in becoming a homeowner with Habitat. Habitat is committed to providing qualified households with the opportunity for affordable homeownership. We follow an equal policy of homebuyer selection and are accountable to mortgage (按揭贷款) lending laws. We manage the homeowner selection and approval process at the local level. Qualified homebuyers must be: In need of safe, affordable housing Applicants may be dealing with substandard housing that is poorly built, damaged, or inaccessible due to disabilities. Low-income or moderate-income Household income must not go over 60% of the area average income defined annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Able and willing to pay an affordable mortgage Habitat ensures that the monthly mortgage payments do not go beyond 30% of the homebuyer’s monthly income.  Willing to partner with Habitat Once selected, homebuyers must partner with Habitat throughout the process. This partnership includes performing “sweat equity”, such as conducting construction work on their home or another family’s home, clearing build sites to make way for new construction, writing thank-you cards to local donors and so on. The following is an overview of the homeownership process： Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 1: ... Step 2: ... Step 3: ... Step 4: ... Step 5: Homebuyers complete the paperwork for a mortgage, which ends with their signature. Step 6: Once all of the forms are signed and all of the construction is complete, it’s time to move in and celebrate! 60. The main purpose of Habitat is to ______. A. apply for bank loans for those in need of home B. build houses with the help of future homeowners C. offer houses to families with low or moderate income D. enable affordable homeownership for specific families 61. What can be learned from the passage? A. Low-wage workers may have little chance of being selected by Habitat. B. Homebuyers can partner with Habitat by performing construction work. C. Those who want to improve living conditions should become Habitat’s partners. D. That monthly mortgage payment takes 25% of the area average income is acceptable. 62. What is the correct order of the four missing steps in the process? ① Local Habitat staff and volunteers carefully review each family’s application packet and present their recommendations to the local board of directors. ② There are information sessions where potential homeowners can learn about their homeownership program, ask questions and make connections. ③ Habitat staff make a home visit to hear more about a potential future homeowner’s desire to partner with Habitat. ④ If a family feels Habitat’s homeownership program is the right fit for them, they apply locally during an open application period. A. ②④③① B. ②①④③ C. ①④③② D. ①②④③ （C） Beneath its icy surface, the Antarctic Ocean — a vast and remote wilderness — houses a hidden world of microscopic life, including clouds of krill (磷虾). These tiny creatures, just a few inches long, are among the most plentiful and important animals on Earth. Rod Downie, chief polar adviser at WWF-UK, describes Antarctic krill as the “superheroes of the Southern Ocean.” They serve as a critical food source for marine wildlife, including whales, penguins, seals, and seabirds. They feed on microscopic plants in sea ice, which absorb CO2, and are in turn eaten by whales. When whales release waste, it fertilizes marine plants that help cool the planet. However, the unsustainable fishing of krill could disturb this cycle. Downie says, “We urgently need to protect krill habitats within a network of marine protected areas. This project could give us a new tool to help monitor and safeguard this vital species.” But monitoring these organisms presents a grand challenge for scientists. Traditional methods, such as ship-based surveys and sampling, are time-consuming, expensive, and geographically limited. Scientists are using slight differences in seawater colour to count Antarctic krill from space. Dr Cait McCarry, a researcher from the University of Strathclyde, recently returned from Antarctica, where she conducted experiments to measure this effect. She explained, “We start with seawater, then add a krill and measure how much light the water absorbs. Then we add another krill and take another measurement.” This process helps scientists understand how krill concentration affects ocean colour, enabling them to track krill populations from space. The technology isn’t without its limitations. Factors such as cloud cover, sea ice, and variations in water clarity can affect the accuracy of satellite measurements. Furthermore, while satellite data provides information about the overall biomass, it doesn’t provide detailed information on the species composition or the health of individual organisms. And in such cases, field studies, with its unique capacity for on-the-ground investigation, are ready to assume an essential role for a more comprehensive understanding. From the seemingly insignificant variations in seawater color to the complex interplay of life within the Antarctic food web, scientists continue to reveal the complicated workings of this vital ecosystem. Their dedication and the innovative tools they employ offer hope for a future where we can better understand and protect the wonders of our planet. 63. Krill are described as “superheroes of the Southern Ocean” because ______. A. they provide an essential monitoring method B. their vast species dominate the Antarctic Ocean C. they regulate the temperature of Earth in a certain way D. their movements indicate ocean temperatures precisely 64. It can be concluded that ______. A. light absorption changes with krill concentration B. krill’s waste helps plants absorb CO2 more efficiently C. the species of deep-sea plants are enriched due to krill D. krill are mainly threatened by natural hunters like whales 65. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Oceanic research centers around marine life’s complex interactions. B. Though minor now, water color changes promise future discoveries. C. Given overfishing, greater emphasis should be laid on the composition of krill species. D. A full understanding of krill requires integration of satellite monitoring and field studies. 66. What is the passage mainly about? A. The urgency and challenges of studying krill. B. The development of new methods to study krill. C. The role of krill in the ecosystem and efforts to monitor them. D. The impact of human activities on krill and ways to counter it. Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Genetic Testing Genetic testing involves examining your DNA, the chemical database that carries instructions for your body’s functions. It provides information for diagnosing, treating and preventing illness. _____67_____. First, there is diagnostic testing. If you have indications of a disease that may be caused by genetic changes, sometimes called mutated genes, it can reveal if you have the suspected disorder. Then comes presymptomatic and predictive testing. _____68_____. The purpose is to evaluate an individual’s likelihood of developing certain types of disorder, particularly when a family history of the condition exists. Pharmacogenetics is the study of how genetic variations influence individual responses to medications. _____69_____. And this testing approach is clinically valuable in determining the most effective medication for patients. Testing during pregnancy, the state of having a baby developing inside the body, includes a range of medical procedures performed to identify genetic abnormalities in the developing baby. Traditionally this is done by looking at markers in blood or by interventional testing. Newer testing called cell-free DNA testing looks at a baby’s DNA via a blood test done on the mother. _____70_____. It has become a standardized public health initiative within the first days of life to identify babies at risk for treatable genetic, or body chemistry disorders. This type of genetic testing is important because if results show there’s a disorder such as congenital hypothyroidism (先天性甲状腺功能减退症), care and treatment can begin right away. A. Newborn screening is the most frequently conducted kind of genetic testing. B. The application of genetic testing varies according to defined medical indications. C. However, it’s important to note that there is a slight potential risk to human health. D. It refers to genetic analyses carried out prior to the beginning of unhealthy change. E. It guarantees the safety of surgeries with the predetermined post-operative care guidelines. F. By analyzing gene-drug interactions, clinicians achieve predictive accuracy in individualized drug response patterns. III. Summary Writing 71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as much as possible. You Could Have “Recycling Misconception”！ It might be time to throw your preconceptions about recycling in the garbage. A decades-long effort to educate people about recycling has mostly backfired, according to new research.  The study, published in Nature Sustainability, found that an overemphasis on recycling has distracted us from better options for preventing waste. In open-ended surveys, Americans named recycling as the most effective thing they could do to reduce garbage in landfills, overlooking more successful strategies — such as generating less waste in the first place. The study revealed widespread confusion about the effectiveness of recycling. When asked to rank the Three Rs — “reduce, reuse, recycle” (already in the correct order) — in order of effectiveness, nearly half got the answer wrong. Michaela Barnett, a study author, first owes this “recycling misconception” to decades of campaigns initiated by corporations, which has shifted blame for waste pollution to individuals rather than companies producing disposable products, those made to be thrown away after use. Barnett’s study also showed many people placed plastic bags and coffee cups into recycling bins, while not all of them can be recycled. It’s not really their fault: Recycling rules are confusing. For instance, the “chasing arrows” symbol on plastics has misled consumers into believing many items are recyclable when they are not. Less than 10% of global plastic is recycled, despite survey respondents estimating it at 25%. Recycling, often overestimated as a cure-all in waste management, masks deeper systemic problems. True progress demands intentional reduction of consumption: choosing reusable cloth bags over single-use plastics; repairing old clothes instead of buying fast fashion. And true accountability must shift to corporations legally required to adopt sustainable manufacturing and eco-conscious design — ensuring they are responsible for using technology-based, large-scale solutions to reach clear carbon-reduction goals. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

He spent his childhood in Chicago, but at the age of 15, he left his home and travelled around Ireland, walking and painting. He was a talented artist. When he reached Dublin, the capital of Ireland, he walked into the Gate Theatre and claimed to be a star of the American stage. We can’t tell whether or not the manager of the theatre believed the story, but he did give Welles a starring role in a new play. Welles was a hit with both the public and the critics. After returning to the USA, he worked on a series of books called The Mercury Shakespeare, which were bestsellers for decades. But he achieved worldwide fame in 1938 with his radio broadcasting of the famous science fiction story, The War of the Worlds. The programme was in the style of a news report, and thousands of listeners panicked, believing that creatures from Mars really had conquered the Earth. At the age of 26, Welles wrote, directed, produced and starred in a film named Citizen Kane, which many film critics consider to be the greatest film ever made.

Small Breaks, Big Benefits Training for a marathon is one route to fitness and building very short “micro walks” into your day may also be a path to better health. Researchers found that when people broke up a walk into periods of 10 to 30 seconds, ___21___ short breaks in between, they used up to 60 per cent more energy than covering the same stretch in one go. According to the professor of the University of Milan, Dr Francesco Luciano, ___22___ led the study, the main message should be that brief moments of physical activity, such as getting to your feet to make a cup of tea, can make a surprisingly large difference to ___23___ calories you burn. “Breaking up motionless periods with brief walk greatly increases energy consumed daily and ___24___ (improve) health.” This is the direct quote from Dr Francesco Luciano and his colleagues in Proceedings B, an influential journal ___25___ (publish) to present the latest biological research. The NHS recommends that adults aged 19 to 64 get at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of intense activity weekly. However, research has presented conclusive evidence that even very short intervals of activity ___26___ be beneficial. The latest research, which hundreds of participants took part in, involved ___27___ (measure) the amount of energy people consumed while walking on an exercise machine or climbing stairs. Ten volunteers walked or climbed for different amounts of time, including short intervals of either 10 or 30 seconds, or longer ___28___ of up to four minutes. After each period of activity, they paused for several minutes. “We found that walking in ___29___ (short) periods requires more energy — and more oxygen — to cover the same walking length, compared to covering it continuously. It’s like a car using more fuel during the first few kilometres,” he said. While breaking long walks into short intervals might not be practical in terms of length covered, Luciano emphasized that ___30___ possible, people should take a few steps to break up sitting time. 【答案】21. with 22. who 23. how many 24. improves 25. published 26. can##will 27. measuring 28. ones 29. shorter 30. whenever##when##if 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文通过米兰大学的研究表明，将长时间静坐打断为短暂步行（10-30秒）能显著增加能量消耗（高达60%），改善健康。 【21题详解】 考查介词。句意：研究人员发现，当人们将一次散步分成10到30秒的时间段，中间有短暂的休息时，他们消耗的能量比一次走完同样的路程要多60%。分析句子结构可知，此处需使用介词“with”表示“有”。故填with。 【22题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这项研究的负责人、米兰大学教授弗朗西斯科·卢西亚诺博士表示，主要的信息应该是，短暂的体育活动，比如站起来泡杯茶，会对你燃烧的卡路里数量产生惊人的巨大影响。分析句子结构可知，该句为定语从句，先行词Dr Francesco Luciano指人，且从句中缺少主语，因此使用关系代词who在从句中作主语。故填who。 【23题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：这项研究的负责人、米兰大学教授弗朗西斯科·卢西亚诺博士表示，主要的信息应该是，短暂的体育活动，比如站起来泡杯茶，会对你燃烧的卡路里产生惊人的巨大影响。分析句子结构可知，该句为宾语从句，作介词“to”的宾语，“how many”表示“多少”，用于修饰可数名词复数“calories”，它引导的宾语从句“how many calories you burn”表示“你燃烧的卡路里数量”，整个从句作介词“to”的宾语。故填how many。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：这项研究的负责人、米兰大学教授弗朗西斯科·卢西亚诺博士表示，主要的信息应该是，短暂的体育活动，比如站起来泡杯茶，会对你燃烧的卡路里数量产生惊人的巨大影响。用短暂的散步来打破不动的时期，大大增加了每天消耗的能量，改善了健康。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作谓语，连词and后improve（提高）与increases（增加）一起作并列谓语，时态语态需保持一致，因此也需使用一般现在时的三单形式。故填improves。 【25题详解】 考查非谓语。句意：这是弗朗西斯科·卢西亚诺博士和他的同事在《论文集B》上的直接引用，这是一份发表最新生物学研究的有影响力的杂志。句中已有谓语is，空处在句中应使用其非谓语形式，主语this与publish（发表）之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此需使用过去分词作后置定语。故填published。 【26题详解】 考查情态动词。句意：然而，研究已经提供了确凿的证据表明，即使是非常短的运动间隔也是有益的。根据be动词的原形可知，空处应使用情态动词，表示“短时间的运动对于健康有益”这种可能性，可使用情态动词can/will，表示“能够/将会”。故填can/will。 【27题详解】 考查非谓语。句意：这项最新研究有数百名参与者参与，测量了人们在健身器上行走或爬楼梯时消耗的能量。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定短语involve doing sth.，意为“涉及；包含”，应使用其动名词形式。故填measuring。 【28题详解】 考查代词。句意：10名志愿者步行或攀登不同的时间，包括10秒或30秒的短间隔，或长达4分钟的长间隔。分析句子结构可知，空处缺少宾语，且该句提到不同时长的运动，因此可使用代词ones指代前文中的intervals，指更长的“时间段”。故填ones。 【29题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：我们发现，与连续行走相比，短时间行走需要更多的能量和更多的氧气来完成相同的行走长度。后文提到“compared to covering it continuously(与连续行走相比)”说明与持续走路相比，应该是更短时间走路，应使用形容词比较级形式。故填shorter。 【30题详解】 考查状语从句省略。句意：虽然将长时间的步行分成短时间的间隔可能不太实际，但卢西亚诺强调，只要有可能/在任何可能是时候，人们应该采取一些措施来打破坐着的时间。分析句子结构可知，此处表示“在任何可能的时候，人们都应该起身走几步，打破长时间的久坐。”，因此可使用whenever/when引导时间状语从句，其完整形式是 “whenever/when it is possible”，同时，此处也可以表示“如果可能的话”，因此可以使用if引导条件状语从句，其完整形式是 “if it is possible”。故填whenever/when/if。 Section B Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Audrey Flack, an American painter and sculptor whose choice of subject matter added a(n) ____31____ to the movement, was one of the first artists to use a projection of a photograph as an aid to painting. Flack graduated from Yale with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1952 and was influenced by her teacher’s Abstract Expressionist style, ____32____ in her early work. The next year she studied art history at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. During the late 1950s Flack began to ____33____ herself from this style, which she felt did not communicate effectively or clearly with viewers. She looked to artists such as Spanish Baroque artist Luisa Roldán as models. One representative of her photo-realist paintings was Macarena of Miracles, directly ____34____ to Roldán’s sculpture Virgen de la Macarena, La Esperanza. During the 1960s, the artist continued to ____35____ her photographic method and her subject matter. Unlike male photo-realists such as Richard Estes and Chuck Close, who chose subjects that avoided emotional content, Flack ____36____ to convey a broader meaning through her work. While going on to create works with sociopolitical commentary, she started to ____37____ everyday items such as handbags and makeup, using them to question their role in shaping female identity. A significant painting from this period, Farb Family Portrait (1969–70), was the result of a new working technique. Starting with a slide of the family portrait (肖像), Flack ____38____ the photo onto the canvas (画布) and used it as her guide for painting. This method relieved her of having to make ____39____ drawings. She also developed a method of applying paint in layers with an airbrush. Using those innovations, Flack masterfully created a number of symbolic works. Through these practices, Flack ____40____ her role as a pioneer who expanded photorealism beyond mere copying, implanting it with layered narratives about identity and societal norms. 【答案】31. C 32.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) For 24-year-old Zaire Perry in Texas, making a humble Chinese egg dish she had never heard of a few months ago was the beginning of an unexpected friendship. It began when Perry came across jidan geng, or steamed egg custard, on a popular China-based social platform. Many Americans who came to the platform are inspired to make an attempt at Chinese recipes. Then steamed egg custard, a salty dish not commonly found in Chinese restaurants in U.S., became extremely popular. Perry was itching to start steaming eggs but was at a loss with the many recipes floating around, until she connected with Hu Xiaoman, a 35-year-old mother in central China. Hu shared her family’s recipe and then applauded Perry’s first attempt as a huge success: silky but firm custard covered with a thin layer of sauce, topped off with spring onions. Hu called Perry “a cooking genius.” Steamed egg custard, involves just eggs, water and salt — simple at first glance, but even Chinese cooks who try it for the first time often fail to get the water-egg proportion right and either overcook or undercook the eggs. Many other Chinese users also clicked their approval on Perry’s post and on the steamed-egg experiments of other Americans. For Hu and Perry, steamed eggs were just the start. Separated by a 14-hour time difference and a language barrier, the two started sharing cooking tips. Hu said she was surprised to learn from Perry’s recipes that a lot of American dishes are served warm. “My impression of American foods was that they are mostly cold, such as bread slices or salads. Her food made me feel warm, the warmth of family.” From Texas, Perry said, “Food is something that can go beyond language or cultural barriers. I don’t even speak Chinese and she speaks very little English, and yet we’re bonding over recipes.” With the help of recent translation feature on the platform, Hu and Perry have gone on to share experiences and photos of their daily lives, mirroring the upgrade of friendly interactions between Americans and Chinese people. As many netizens have recognized, the platform’s focus on cultural content such as lifestyle and traveling does contribute to the change. 56. The word “itching” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”. A. eager B. hesitant C. grateful D. uncomfortable 57. What can we learn about steamed egg custard? A. Chinese restaurants in U.S. help make it popular. B. Beginners are likely to undercook or overcook it. C. The simple recipe makes the dish learner-friendly. D. The right water-egg proportion is mastered by few. 58. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Hu and Perry shared cooking tips and photographic skills. B. Hu encouraged Perry to become a cook in a Chinese restaurant. C. Perry helped to resolve Hu’s misunderstanding of American dishes. D. Perry’s post of eggs aroused other Americans’ interest in Chinese dishes. 59. The passage is intended to convey the message that ______. A. a recipe in need is a recipe indeed B. steamed eggs can be a cultural symbol in China C. cuisine is an entrance into friendship and cultural exchange D. social media should be widely used to overcome language barriers 【答案】56. A 57. B 58. C 59. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了24岁的扎伊尔·佩里尝试制作中国的蒸蛋羹，并且和中国居民胡小曼建立了友谊，两人交换了彼此的美食文化，加深了文化交流。 【56题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“For 24-year-old Zaire Perry in Texas, making a humble Chinese egg dish she had never heard of a few months ago was the beginning of an unexpected friendship. It began when Perry came across jidan geng, or steamed egg custard, on a popular China-based social platform. Many Americans who came to the platform are inspired to make an attempt at Chinese recipes.(对于德克萨斯州24岁的扎伊尔·佩里来说，几个月前做了一道她从未听说过的不起眼的中国鸡蛋，这是一段意想不到的友谊的开始。这一切始于佩里在一个流行的中国社交平台上看到鸡蛋羹。许多来到这个平台的美国人都受到了启发，开始尝试中国食谱)”可知，佩里在社交媒体上看到了鸡蛋羹，因此渴望尝试制作鸡蛋羹。故划线词意思是“渴望的”。故选A。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Steamed egg custard, involves just eggs, water and salt — simple at first glance, but even Chinese cooks who try it for the first time often fail to get the water-egg proportion right and either overcook or undercook the eggs.(蒸蛋羹只需要鸡蛋、水和盐——乍一看很简单，但即使是第一次尝试的中国厨师也经常不能把握好水和鸡蛋的比例，要么煮得太熟，要么煮得不熟)”可知，初学者很可能煮得不够熟或煮得太熟。故选B。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Hu said she was surprised to learn from Perry’s recipes that a lot of American dishes are served warm. “My impression of American foods was that they are mostly cold, such as bread slices or salads. Her food made me feel warm, the warmth of family.”(胡说，她很惊讶地从佩里的食谱中得知，很多美国菜都是热的。“我对美国食物的印象大多是冷的，比如面包片或沙拉。她的食物让我感到温暖，家的温暖。”)”可知，佩里帮助解决了胡对美国菜的误解。故选C。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With the help of recent translation feature on the platform, Hu and Perry have gone on to share experiences and photos of their daily lives, mirroring the upgrade of friendly interactions between Americans and Chinese people. As many netizens have recognized, the platform’s focus on cultural content such as lifestyle and traveling does contribute to the change.(在该平台最近的翻译功能的帮助下，胡和佩里继续分享他们的经验和日常生活的照片，反映了中美两国人民之间友好互动的升级。正如许多网民所认识到的那样，该平台对生活方式和旅游等文化内容的关注确实促成了这种变化)”以及文章主要介绍了24岁的扎伊尔·佩里尝试制作中国的蒸蛋羹，并且和中国居民胡小曼建立了友谊，两人交换了彼此的美食文化，加深了文化交流。可知，这篇文章的目的是传达美食是友谊和文化交流的入口。故选C。 （B） Thank you for your interest in becoming a homeowner with Habitat.

These tiny creatures, just a few inches long, are among the most plentiful and important animals on Earth. Rod Downie, chief polar adviser at WWF-UK, describes Antarctic krill as the “superheroes of the Southern Ocean.” They serve as a critical food source for marine wildlife, including whales, penguins, seals, and seabirds. They feed on microscopic plants in sea ice, which absorb CO2, and are in turn eaten by whales. When whales release waste, it fertilizes marine plants that help cool the planet. However, the unsustainable fishing of krill could disturb this cycle. Downie says, “We urgently need to protect krill habitats within a network of marine protected areas. This project could give us a new tool to help monitor and safeguard this vital species.” But monitoring these organisms presents a grand challenge for scientists. Traditional methods, such as ship-based surveys and sampling, are time-consuming, expensive, and geographically limited. Scientists are using slight differences in seawater colour to count Antarctic krill from space. Dr Cait McCarry, a researcher from the University of Strathclyde, recently returned from Antarctica, where she conducted experiments to measure this effect. She explained, “We start with seawater, then add a krill and measure how much light the water absorbs. Then we add another krill and take another measurement.” This process helps scientists understand how krill concentration affects ocean colour, enabling them to track krill populations from space. The technology isn’t without its limitations. Factors such as cloud cover, sea ice, and variations in water clarity can affect the accuracy of satellite measurements. Furthermore, while satellite data provides information about the overall biomass, it doesn’t provide detailed information on the species composition or the health of individual organisms. And in such cases, field studies, with its unique capacity for on-the-ground investigation, are ready to assume an essential role for a more comprehensive understanding. From the seemingly insignificant variations in seawater color to the complex interplay of life within the Antarctic food web, scientists continue to reveal the complicated workings of this vital ecosystem. Their dedication and the innovative tools they employ offer hope for a future where we can better understand and protect the wonders of our planet. 63. Krill are described as “superheroes of the Southern Ocean” because ______. A. they provide an essential monitoring method B. their vast species dominate the Antarctic Ocean C. they regulate the temperature of Earth in a certain way D. their movements indicate ocean temperatures precisely 64. It can be concluded that ______. A. light absorption changes with krill concentration B. krill’s waste helps plants absorb CO2 more efficiently C. the species of deep-sea plants are enriched due to krill D. krill are mainly threatened by natural hunters like whales 65. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Oceanic research centers around marine life’s complex interactions. B. Though minor now, water color changes promise future discoveries. C. Given overfishing, greater emphasis should be laid on the composition of krill species. D. A full understanding of krill requires integration of satellite monitoring and field studies. 66. What is the passage mainly about? A. The urgency and challenges of studying krill. B. The development of new methods to study krill. C. The role of krill in the ecosystem and efforts to monitor them. D. The impact of human activities on krill and ways to counter it. 【答案】63. C 64. A 65. D 66. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了南极磷虾在南大洋生态系统中扮演着重要角色，是众多海洋生物的关键食物来源，且在调节地球温度方面有重要作用。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They serve as a critical food source for marine wildlife, including whales, penguins, seals, and seabirds. They feed on microscopic plants in sea ice, which absorb CO2, and are in turn eaten by whales. When whales release waste, it fertilizes marine plants that help cool the planet.(它们是包括鲸鱼、企鹅、海豹和海鸟等海洋野生动物的重要食物来源。它们以海冰中的微小植物为食，这些植物吸收二氧化碳，而它们又反过来被鲸鱼吃掉。当鲸鱼排出粪便时，它会给海洋植物施肥，帮助地球降温)”可知，磷虾被称为 “南大洋超级英雄” 是因为它们以某种方式调节了地球的温度。故选 C。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段 “She explained, “We start with seawater, then add a krill and measure how much light the water absorbs. Then we add another krill and take another measurement.” This process helps scientists understand how krill concentration affects ocean colour, enabling them to track krill populations from space.(她解释说：“我们从海水开始，然后加入一只磷虾并测量水吸收了多少光。然后我们再加入一只磷虾并进行另一次测量。” 这个过程帮助科学家了解磷虾浓度如何影响海洋颜色，使他们能够从太空追踪磷虾的数量。）可推知，光的吸收随着磷虾浓度的变化而变化。故选 A。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Scientists are using slight differences in seawater colour to count Antarctic krill from space.(科学家们正在利用海水颜色的细微差异从太空计算南极磷虾的数量)以及第五段 “Factors such as cloud cover, sea ice, and variations in water clarity can affect the accuracy of satellite measurements. Furthermore, while satellite data provides information about the overall biomass, it doesn’t provide detailed information on the species composition or the health of individual organisms. And in such cases, field studies, with its unique capacity for on-the-ground investigation, are ready to assume an essential role for a more comprehensive understanding.(云层覆盖、海冰和水的清澈度等因素会影响卫星测量的准确性。此外，虽然卫星数据提供了关于总体生物量的信息，但它没有提供关于物种组成或个体生物健康的详细信息。在这种情况下，实地研究凭借其独特的实地调查能力，准备在更全面的了解中发挥重要作用)”可推知，要全面了解磷虾，需要将卫星监测和实地研究相结合。故选 D。 【66题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章前两介绍了磷虾在南极海洋生态系统中作为重要食物来源，以及它们在调节地球温度方面的作用；后面几段讲述了科学家面临监测磷虾的挑战，采用了利用海水颜色从太空监测磷虾的新技术，同时也指出了该技术的局限性，以及实地研究的重要性。选项 C“磷虾在生态系统中的作用以及监测它们的努力”能概括文章的大意。故选 C。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage.

Traditionally this is done by looking at markers in blood or by interventional testing. Newer testing called cell-free DNA testing looks at a baby’s DNA via a blood test done on the mother. _____70_____. It has become a standardized public health initiative within the first days of life to identify babies at risk for treatable genetic, or body chemistry disorders. This type of genetic testing is important because if results show there’s a disorder such as congenital hypothyroidism (先天性甲状腺功能减退症), care and treatment can begin right away. A. Newborn screening is the most frequently conducted kind of genetic testing. B. The application of genetic testing varies according to defined medical indications. C. However, it’s important to note that there is a slight potential risk to human health. D. It refers to genetic analyses carried out prior to the beginning of unhealthy change. E. It guarantees the safety of surgeries with the predetermined post-operative care guidelines. F. By analyzing gene-drug interactions, clinicians achieve predictive accuracy in individualized drug response patterns. 【答案】67. B 68. D 69. F 70. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了基因检测的种类及作用。 【67题详解】  第一段总述基因测试的应用。下文“First, there is diagnostic testing.(首先，有诊断测试)”以及“Then comes presymptomatic and predictive testing.(然后是症状前和预测性测试)”开始分述具体检测类型，B项 (基因检测的应用根据明确的医学指征而有所不同) 承接第一段，引出下文分类说明，符合语境。故选B。 【68题详解】 上文“Then comes presymptomatic and predictive testing.(然后是症状前和预测性测试)”提到“症状前和预测性检测”，后文“The purpose is to evaluate an individual’s likelihood of developing certain types of disorder, particularly when a family history of the condition exists.(其目的是评估个人患某些类型疾病的可能性，特别是在存在该疾病家族史的情况下)”说明其目的是评估个体患病风险（尤其家族病史存在时），D项 (它指的是在不健康变化开始之前进行的基因分析) 定义这类检测的核心特征，即“在健康变化发生前进行基因分析”，且D项内容直接对应了上文的“presymptomatic”(症状前）和“predictive”（预测性）的概念。故选D。 【69题详解】 上文“Pharmacogenetics is the study of how genetic variations influence individual responses to medications.(药物基因组学是研究基因变异如何影响个体对药物反应的科学)”提出药物遗传学研究基因变异对药物反应的影响，以及后文“And this testing approach is clinically valuable in determining the most effective medication for patients.(这种测试方法在确定对患者最有效的药物方面具有临床价值)”强调该检测的临床价值(确定最有效药物)，因此空白处需描述其技术手段。F项(通过分析基因-药物相互作用，临床医生在个体化药物反应模式中实现了预测准确性) 具体解释了研究如何操作，与上下文紧密衔接。故选F。 【70题详解】 后文“It has become a standardized public health initiative within the first days of life to identify babies at risk for treatable genetic, or body chemistry disorders.(它已成为出生后几天内的一项标准化公共卫生计划，用于识别患有可治疗的遗传或身体化学疾病风险的婴儿)”提到新生儿筛查是标准化公共卫生措施，A项(新生儿筛查是最常见的基因检测类型)”直接引入主题，且“most frequently”与后文“standardized public health initiative”呼应。故选A。 III. Summary Writing 71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as much as possible. You Could Have “Recycling Misconception”！ It might be time to throw your preconceptions about recycling in the garbage. A decades-long effort to educate people about recycling has mostly backfired, according to new research.  The study, published in Nature Sustainability, found that an overemphasis on recycling has distracted us from better options for preventing waste. In open-ended surveys, Americans named recycling as the most effective thing they could do to reduce garbage in landfills, overlooking more successful strategies — such as generating less waste in the first place. The study revealed widespread confusion about the effectiveness of recycling. When asked to rank the Three Rs — “reduce, reuse, recycle” (already in the correct order) — in order of effectiveness, nearly half got the answer wrong. Michaela Barnett, a study author, first owes this “recycling misconception” to decades of campaigns initiated by corporations, which has shifted blame for waste pollution to individuals rather than companies producing disposable products, those made to be thrown away after use. Barnett’s study also showed many people placed plastic bags and coffee cups into recycling bins, while not all of them can be recycled. It’s not really their fault: Recycling rules are confusing. For instance, the “chasing arrows” symbol on plastics has misled consumers into believing many items are recyclable when they are not. Less than 10% of global plastic is recycled, despite survey respondents estimating it at 25%. Recycling, often overestimated as a cure-all in waste management, masks deeper systemic problems. True progress demands intentional reduction of consumption: choosing reusable cloth bags over single-use plastics; repairing old clothes instead of buying fast fashion. And true accountability must shift to corporations legally required to adopt sustainable manufacturing and eco-conscious design — ensuring they are responsible for using technology-based, large-scale solutions to reach clear carbon-reduction goals. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A study in Nature Sustainability shows the decades-long recycling education has backfired. People suffer from “recycling misconception”, overrating recycling and ignoring better waste-prevention methods. Corporate campaigns wrongly shift blame, and confusing rules mislead people. Recycling, overestimated as a fix-all, masks systemic issues. True progress needs reducing consumption and holding corporations accountable for sustainable practices. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了人们存在“回收误区”这一现象及其背后的原因，并指出真正的垃圾处理进步方向。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①A decades-long effort to educate people about recycling has mostly backfired. ②An overemphasis on recycling has distracted us from better options for preventing waste. People overvalue recycling and overlook more successful waste-prevention strategies. ③“Recycling misconception” is owed to decades of campaigns initiated by corporations, which shift blame for waste pollution to individuals. Recycling rules are confusing, like the “chasing arrows” symbol misleading consumers. ④Recycling masks deeper systemic problems. True progress demands reducing consumption and corporations adopting sustainable manufacturing and eco-conscious design. 2. 缜密构思 将第1、2要点整合，说明回收教育效果不佳及人们对回收的错误认知。第3要点单独阐述“回收误区”的成因。第4要点进行整合，突出真正的进步方向。 3. 遣词造句 A study in Nature Sustainability shows a decades-long effort to educate people about recycling has mostly backfired. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】A study in Nature Sustainability shows the decades-long recycling education has backfired. 运用了一个复杂的主从复合句，对原文第一段及第二段部分内容进行了概括。其中 shows后面省略了宾语从句引导词that，清晰地表明了研究的结果，使句子结构紧凑，表达简洁明了。 【高分句型 2】Recycling, overestimated as a fix-all, masks systemic issues. 运用了过去分词短语overestimated as a fix-all作后置定语，修饰Recycling，说明回收利用被过高估计这一情况，在一个简单句中巧妙地融入了对回收现状的评价，简洁而有力地传达了信息。 IV. Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 72. 夕阳染红了半边天空，真是赏心悦目。（engage）(汉译英) _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】The setting sun colored half of the sky red, which engaged both the mind and the eye. 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句和时态。发生在过去用一般过去时，主语“夕阳”为the setting sun；表示“染红了半边天空”可翻译为color half of the sky red；后跟非限制性定语从句修饰上文句子，从句缺少主语，故用which；表示“赏心悦目”翻译为engaged both the mind and the eye.故翻译为The setting sun colored half of the sky red, which engaged both the mind and the eye. 73. 豆腐营养丰富且容易消化，老少咸宜。(perfect) (汉译英) _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】Tofu is rich in nutrition and easy to digest, and it is perfect for both the old and the young. 【解析】 【详解】考查时态、形容词短语和并列结构。“豆腐营养丰富且容易消化”处理为第一分句，主语“豆腐”用Tofu，“营养丰富且容易消化”可译为be rich in nutrition and easy to digest，这里描述客观事实用一般现在时，系动词用is；“老少咸宜”理解为“对老年人和年轻人都是最佳的”，可处理为第二分句，补充主语it，译为it is perfect for both the old and the young，与第一分句之间是并列关系，用连词and连接。故翻译为Tofu is rich in nutrition and easy to digest, and it is perfect for both the old and the young. 74. 池塘边石柱上的精美雕刻体现了人与自然和谐共生的理念。（belief）(汉译英) _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】The exquisite carvings on the stone pillars by the pond reflect the belief of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语。“精美的雕刻”可翻译为exquisite carvings，“池塘边石柱上”可翻译为介词短语on the stone pillars by the pond，“体现”可翻译为reflect，根据提示可知，“理念”可使用名词belief在句中作宾语，“人与自然和谐共生的理念”可翻译为belief of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature。根据语境可知，该句陈述一般事实，因此可使用一般现在时。故翻译为：The exquisite carvings on the stone pillars by the pond reflect the belief of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. 75. 邻居阿婆原本觉得美图软件这类新潮玩意儿用起来会很麻烦，但跟着侄女没学几次就能自如地给照片改色调了。（as）(汉译英) _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】The Granny next door originally thought such trendy things as photo-editing applications were difficult to use, but after learning from her niece a few times, she could adjust the tone of the photos with ease. 【解析】 【详解】考查句子结构、宾语从句、状语从句和时态。汉语句描述的是过去的事情和动作，总体上应使用一般过去时。原句可译为but连接的并列句，前半句可使用主谓宾结构，主语为“邻居阿婆”，译为the granny next door。谓语为“觉得”，译为thought，“原本”可用副词originally作状语修饰谓语。 “美图软件这类新潮玩意儿用起来会很麻烦”译为第一个句子的宾语，处理为宾语从句,j结合提示词as，句子实际想说的是“像照片编辑软件这样的流行软件很难使用”，因此可使用主系表结构，用动名词短语using…作主语，“美图软件这类新潮玩意儿”，可译为such trendy things as photo-editing applications，其中“玩意儿”实际是指application，“新潮”可使用形容词trendy。“美图软件这类”可用介词短语such...as photo-editing software。整个动名词短语作宾语从句的主语，译为using trendy apps like photo-editing software。“会很麻烦”译为系表结构be difficult to use，这个动作是相对于主句thought同时发生的，使用一般过去时。因此前半句翻译为The Granny next door originally thought such trendy things as photo-editing applications were difficult to use；后半句“跟着侄女没学几次”可译为after doing sth.短语，动词短语learn from来表达“跟某人学”之意，可译为after learning from her niecea few times。“就能自如地给照片改色调了”译为第二分句，同样需要增补主语she，“能给照片调色”可译could adjust the tone of the photos，“自如地”可用介词短语with ease作方式状语。故翻译为The Granny next door originally thought such trendy things as photo-editing applications were difficult to use, but after learning from her niece a few times, she could adjust the tone of the photos with ease.
