Myths and Facts about Growing Taller As soon as they walk into a room, tall people command attention. They also enjoy some advantages, such as (1) ______ (consider) attractive (especially for men). Tall people also tend to have higher status jobs and consequently earn more money than others. It’s no wonder that many young people are concerned about growing as tall as possible. There are many myths about growth and height in circulation, though, so let’s examine them and find out the truth. Myth: A person’s height is completely determined by genes. Fact: Genes do play a role, (2) ______ (determine) about 60 to 80 percent of a person’s height. But the rest is influenced by environmental factors, of which nutrition during childhood is (3) ______ (important). Without enough vitamins, minerals, and protein, children do not become as tall as their genes would allow. Myth: Caffeine stops children from growing. Fact: Drinking normal amounts of coffee won’t affect growth. A child or teenager can have a cup of coffee or tea (4) ______ no ill effects on height. However, Overconsumption of caffeine may negatively affect growth because it interferes with sleep, (5) ______ is when most growth happens. Myth: Stretching or hanging upside down can make you taller. Fact: It’s not clear (6) ______this is true or not. Some evidence indicates that stretching can increase height while one (7) ______ (grow). But this doesn’t work (8) ______one is fully grown. Hanging upside down makes one taller temporarily, but this may not make a lasting difference. Understanding ______ growth happens can help people make decisions. For young people who are still growing, a healthy diet is the best way for them to maximize their height. Adults past their early 20s don’t have many ways to permanently change their height. They have to rely on measures like tall shoes, inserts and certain types of clothing. But remember that (10) ______ you’re not as tall as you would like, your character and choices are more important. Section B Directions: 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. sense B. dominate C. ignore D. emotional E. trends F. combined G. motivation H. bonding I. associated J. grateful K. feature Remember when ... Do you ever find yourself looking back on earlier times, remembering happy moments from the past? Nostalgia, the feeling (11) ______ with remembering happiness in the past, is often described as bittersweet. It is bitter because you long for things that are no more but sweet as you enjoy remembering your past happiness. Some psychologists even distinguish positive nostalgia from negative nostalgia, depending on whether happy emotions or sad ones (12) ______ a person’s experience. In today’s culture, expressions of nostalgia are becoming common. People share old social media posts remembering the good old days. They buy products made years ago from secondhand stores and enjoy media that reminds them of their childhoods. Taking note of these (13) ______ companies are offering products like those of earlier decades. Social media platforms offer filters that can make pictures look like old photographs. Some restaurants are even putting together menus that (14) ______ some dishes from the 1970s. And the fact that people are buying all these products shows that those people want to experience nostalgia. This desire for nostalgia makes a lot of (15) ______ because this feeling has psychological benefits. It can improve a person’s mood and self-esteem (自我价值感), sometimes helping people handle difficult transitions in life. It can also help people connect with others as they share memories. But nostalgia can also lead to (16) ______ problems. Focusing on the past can make people less satisfied with the present and make it harder to find (17) ______ to improve their current situation. Nostalgia can also lead people to view earlier stages of life with rose-colored glasses. They may forget about or (18) ______ past hardships, thinking only about the positive side of things. How can you find a balance, remembering the past without letting it interfere with the present? Start by making a conscious effort to recognize and be (19) ______ for the positives in your current situation. While remembering the past, focus on lessons you’ve learned and ways you’ve grown and changed over the years. And share these memories with others to deepen relationships by learning more about each other or (20) ______ over shared experiences. Nostalgia can bring many benefits to individuals and to communities, but we all must remain cautious of its potential downsides. II.

Instead, it can be an opportunity to discuss expectations openly. While it’s true that no one should have to change their (27) ______ to make a relationship work, compromise (妥协) can help.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) In October 1989, Alaa Murabit, the middle child of 11, was born in a Canadian home to an immigrant family from Libya in Africa. Her younger years were filled with fun and kindness. Her supportive parents treated her and her siblings with equality and fairness. Her father emphasized the importance of education and gender equality, which greatly influenced her views on social justice. Growing up with so many brothers and sisters, she learned to focus, negotiate and talk fast, or she wouldn’t get a chance to do anything. Most importantly, she learned that it was necessary to have a seat at the table to defend yourself. For example, if a lamp broke while you were away and couldn’t explain what happened, you might get grounded as punishment. An extremely gifted girl, Alaa graduated from high school at age 15. After that, the family moved to her parents’ hometown in Libya. The following year she began studying at the College of Medicine at Al Zawiya University in Libya, graduating in 2013. In the midst of her medical studies, civil war broke out in Libya in February 2011. It wasn’t until then, at age 21, that Murabit sensed a cultural shift as women were given a seat at the table. They were finally involved in decision-making and information-sharing to help deal with the war happening around them. But, when political leaders convinced women to go back to their old roles, many lost their chance to have a say in important matters. It was then that Murabit founded The Voice of Libyan Women, a national organization to advance women’s rights. The organization works to improve political participation and empower women economically. Additionally, she helps to promote security for all, create strategies for establishing and maintaining peace and encourages faith-supported peacebuilding. Following medical school, Murabit went on to receive a master’s degree from the London School of Economics while continuing to push for women’s rights. She talked in schools and homes and put up posters and signboards around the country promoting those rights. She fights not only for women but also for the health of the world. Dr. Murabit’s leadership helped to shape the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, impacting billions of people for the better. 36. What important lesson did Alaa learn from growing up in a large family? A. The right to defend oneself. B. The importance of strict discipline. C. The value of avoiding conflict. D. The necessity of quick decision-making. 37. What major event pushed Alaa to found The Voice of Libyan Women? A. Her early graduation from high school at age 15. B. The outbreak of civil war in Libya in 2011. C. Her medical studies at Al Zawiya University. D. Her move to London for a master’s degree. 38. What is a primary goal of The Voice of Libyan Women? A. To provide free medical care in war zones. B. To promote women’s return to previous roles. C. To encourage women to say no to traditional faith. D. To increase women’s political and economic participation. 39. Which best describes Murabit’s approach to creating change? A. Defending the traditional systems. B. Combining grassroots action with global policy. C. Rejecting all religious involvement in peacebuilding. D. Prioritizing academic research over community engagement.

(C) Everything Must Be Paid for Twice One financial lesson they should teach in school is that most of the things we buy have to be paid for twice. There’s the first price, usually paid in dollars, just to gain possession of the desired thing, whatever it is: a book, a budgeting app, a unicycle. But then, in order to make use of the thing, you must also pay a second price. This is the effort and initiative required to gain its benefits, and it can be much higher than the first price. A new novel, for example, might require twenty dollars for its first price — and ten hours of dedicated reading time for its second. Only when the second price is being paid do you see any return on the first one. Paying only the first price is about the same as throwing money in the garbage. In pre-consumer societies, people focused less on acquiring things and more on mastering their use — consistently putting tools to work. The miracle of industrialization has lowered first prices dramatically. Yet technology also creates endless buying options. Here’s the cruel truth: no matter how many gym memberships you buy or classics you collect, your daily 24 hours don’t expand. Their potential remains **unredeemed** until you pay the second price — your consistent effort. I believe this is one reason our modern lifestyles can feel unsatisfying sometimes. In our search for fulfillment, we keep paying first prices, creating a correspondingly enormous debt of unpaid second prices. Yet the real value of any purchase stays locked up until both prices are paid. This feeling of not having enough leads to a big problem: we automatically spend too much time on easy entertainment - like phone apps, streaming services, and fast food — even though they don’t really make us much happier than doing nothing. We choose these things because they’re simple and require little effort, but they waste lots of time. This leaves us with even less energy for more important things. The best solution is simple: stop buying unnecessary things, and focus on using what you already have. This way, you can finally enjoy all those books, gadgets, and items you own but never used. Paying the effort cost may seem hard at first, but you’ll grow to love it. It’s like walking through an unknown forest — each step in the unmapped wilderness is challenging, yet full of life. When you reach the other side, the forest becomes part of you, making you stronger. 43. What is the author’s primary argument about modern consumption? A. Technology has significantly reduced product prices. B. A return to pre-industrial lifestyles could restore balance. C. True value requires both financial cost and personal effort. D. Excessive product variety often leads to dissatisfaction. 44. The underlined word "unredeemed" in paragraph 5 is closest to ______. A. returned for money back B. damaged beyond repair C. priced too high D. not yet realized or claimed 45. According to the passage, why do people prefer easy entertainment? A. They cost less money than meaningful activities. B. They usually require little effort to engage with. C. They are advertised everywhere aggressively. D. They are more accessible than complex alternatives. 46. What does the "unknown forest" metaphor in the last paragraph suggest about paying second prices? A. It’s better to follow paths others have made. B. One needs special support to achieve success. C. The difficulty leads to personal transformation. D. The process is dangerous and should be avoided. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. Next, observing the diligence of the creator often motivates viewers, especially those who have trouble studying. B. No matter what their names are, millions of viewers have joined the SWM craze. C.Moreover, with teachers answering questions and facilitating discussions, the learning atmosphere becomes highly engaging. D. The creator becomes a study mate, which reduces the isolation many students feel. E. Are SWM cideos just “lazy content,” or are they beneficial? F.Yet others point out that such peer-driven pressure can leave viewers feeling tense and uneasy. Study with Me On social media, people share knowledge through videos—from piano lessons to computer repair. When seeking answers, many turn to YouTube, including those struggling with studying. That’s where Study with Me (SWM) videos come into play. In Korea, the popular videos are called "gongbang," which means Study Broadcast. In Japan, they’re called "benkyou douga," and in America and other countries, they’re called Study with Me. 47. ____________ Students create and share videos of themselves studying attentively, usually for an exam. The camera often focuses on a clean desk with a tidy display of books, notebooks, a computer and a timer. Throughout most of the videos, no words are spoken; the focus is on the creator as he or she studies. The point is not to teach anything but simply to provide a study companion. 48. ____________ Financial site Business Insider says this type of video "serves a real purpose, helping people focus." The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology performed research on Study with Me videos and discovered several benefits. First, people can set up quiet study areas in their homes to view the videos. This cuts down on their commute to libraries or established study rooms. 49. ____________ Finally, viewers gain emotional support by knowing that they are part of a group with perhaps thousands of others, all working toward the same goal. Some viewers have said that Study with Me "satisfies the need for belonging and social contact" by providing a sense of companionship. 50. ____________ Some SWM livestreams, where viewers can chat with each other in real time, feel like online study groups. This helps create a satisfactory study environment where students can find the inspiration they need to stay on task. III. Summary Writing 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 far as possible. Dengue fever (登革热) As the world becomes more connected, ideas and technologies can spread rapidly from one country or even one continent to another. But the flip side of this is that diseases can also spread to new areas that do not have special ways in preventing and curing them. One example of this is dengue fever. The number of cases of this mosquito-borne illness has increased dramatically in recent years, including in places that previously had few to none. Dengue fever is most common in tropical and subtropical climates and is carried by two species of mosquito. People contract dengue from mosquito bites. There is no specific treatment for dengue fever. People with mild symptoms can manage them with some pain medications. As with most illnesses, resting and drinking plenty of liquids can also help speed recovery. Those who develop severe dengue, however, usually need to be hospitalized. The recent increase in cases of dengue fever results from a combination of influencing factors, including the species of mosquito that carry the disease spreading to new areas. Warm wet weather has also contributed to its rise since this creates conditions where mosquitoes can multiply. There are four main types of the dengue virus. People can get it more than once if they are infected by a different type. The main way to prevent dengue fever from spreading is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. This means wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants, keeping windows closed and/or sleeping under mosquito nets. Mosquitoes breed in non-flowing water, so finding ways to avoid letting water pool can help. If water storage containers are needed, they should be covered and cleaned regularly to avoid becoming breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Taking action to stop its spread can help stop it from becoming a bigger problem. IV.
