I learned from these difficulties, and the experiences made me stronger. I took mom's cooking advice and turned IT into something new, something that various people have praised me for. Shortly after leaving university, I opened my first restaurant in london. Since then, I have opened branches in paris, new york and many other cities.

Despite the very best efforts of our education system, it is struggling to cope with fully supporting the emotional well-being of our children. Have you ever felt that you would love to help, but were powerless to act? Well, here’s your opportunity to do something positive. The Ollie School plans to build an army of coaches who can make the world a better place.
Comprehensive training
Ollie Coaching is a comprehensive approach that leads all our youngsters to a place where they can thrive in the chaos of modern living. The Ollie School trains coaches in an integration of methodologies to make sure they cover all the bases.
Learn with flexibility
So many schools are battling to provide an appropriate mental health environment, and the Ollie methodology is working on empowering children to seek solutions and take control of their emotions rather than be controlled by them. It is all about personalisation and identifying which technique will work with each individual child — no one-size-fits-all approach here.
Licence to help
The Ollie School graduates are awarded a certified qualification in NLP(Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and a licence to work as an Ollie Coach.
Courses are a combination of online and in person, offering the best of both worlds, with a limited number of trainees to maximise learning potential. If helping children and their families to be more emotionally tough appeals to you, visit ollieandhissuperpowers. com to find out more.
21. What is a feature of the Ollie methodology?
A. Innovative course design. B. Tailored strategy.
C. Standard teaching procedure. D. Group-based instruction.
22. What do the Ollie School students obtain after graduation?
A. A school job offer. B. Free membership.
C. A coaching licence. D. Follow-up training.
23. Who are the Ollie School intended for?
A. Those aiming at job hunting. B. Those trapped in academic anxiety.
C. Those struggling with family issues. D. Those devoted to emotional support.
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D
【解析】

【21题详解】
细节理解题。由Learn with flexibility部分的内容“It is all about personalisation and identifying which technique will work with each individual child — no one-size-fits-all approach here. (这一切都是关于个性化和确定哪种技术对每个孩子都有效——这里没有一刀切的方法。)” 可知,该校教学方法的一大特点是个性化教学,而不是采用一刀切的方法。故选B。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。由Licence to help部分的内容“The Ollie School graduates are awarded a certified qualification in NLP(Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and a licence to work as an Ollie Coach. (Ollie学校的毕业生被授予NLP(神经语言编程)的认证资格和作为Ollie教练的执照。)”可知,从该校毕业后可以拿到从业许可证和执照。故选C。

(如果你想帮助孩子和他们的家庭在情感上变得更坚强,那就去访问ollieandhissuperpowers. com来了解更多吧。)”可知,该校的招生对象是想投身于儿童情感支持工作的人。故选D。
B
In 1959, if you were walking the sand dunes (沙丘) near Florence, Oregon, you might have encountered a bearded man, walking quickly in army clothing. Frank Herbert, a writer with an interest in ecology, was gathering information for a magazine story about a U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program to stabilize (固定) the shifting sands by introducing European beach grass.
Herbert had been a working writer since the age of 19, and his fortunes had always been uneven. After a hard childhood in a small coastal community, he had worked for various regional newspapers and sold short stories to magazines. After that, he lived in Washington as a speechwriter for a Republican politician. He was also constantly short of money. During the period he wrote Dune, his wife Beverly Ann was the main breadwinner, with a job of producing advertising copy for department stores.
Soon, Herbert’s research into dunes became research into desert cultures. It overpowered his article about the heroism of the men of the USDA and became two short science fiction novels, released in series in one of the more celebrated sci-fi magazines. Unsatisfied, Herbert painstakingly reworked his two novels into a single, giant epic (史诗). But publishers then believed sci-fi readers preferred short stories. Dune, 400 pages in its first hardcover edition, was rejected by more than 20 publishing houses before being accepted by Chilton, a Philadelphia company known for trade and hobby magazines.
In 1965, Dune won the Nebula and Hugo Awards, the two most important science fiction prizes. It was not an overnight commercial success, however. Its fan base built through the 1960s and 1970s, with readership spreading in communities, labs and studios — anywhere where the idea of global transformation seemed attractive. Nearly six decades later, it has sold nearly 20 million copies around the world and is considered to be the greatest sci-fi novels.
24. Why did Herbert visit the sand dunes near Florence in 1959?
A. To seek inspiration for his new novel.
B. To investigate unusual sand formations.
C. To study European beach grass for the USDA.
D. To research an article about an ecological project.
25. What does the passage reveal about Herbert’s life before Dune?
A. He enjoyed a wealthy and carefree childhood.
B. He initially focused on desert ecology research.
C. He was determined to make a difference in politics.
D. He struggled financially but gained diverse experience.
26. What primarily contributed to Dune’s gradual rise in popularity?
A. Chilton’s successful advertising campaign.
B. Herbert’s reputation as a Sci-fi award winner.
C. Word-of-mouth sharing among interested readers.
D. USDA’s favorable remarks on his previous articles.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Ecological Roots of Dune B. The Epic Journey of Herbert’s Dune
C. Herbert: From Journalist to Sci-fi Legend D. Sci-fi: From Little Notice to Popularity
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍作家弗兰克·赫伯特创作《沙丘》的背景、他此前的生活经历、作品出版波折及后来的成功历程。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In 1959, if you were walking the sand dunes (沙丘) near Florence, Oregon, you might have encountered a bearded man, walking quickly in army clothing. Frank Herbert, a writer with an interest in ecology, was gathering information for a magazine story about a U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program to stabilize (固定) the shifting sands by introducing European beach grass. (1959年,如果你走在俄勒冈州弗洛伦斯附近的沙丘上,可能会遇到一个留着胡子、身着军装快步行走的男人。弗兰克·赫伯特(Frank Herbert)是一位对生态学感兴趣的作家,他当时正在为一篇杂志报道收集素材,该报道关于美国农业部(USDA)的一个项目——通过引入欧洲海滩草来固定流动的沙丘。)”可知,赫伯特1959年前往弗洛伦斯附近的沙丘,是为一篇关于生态项目的文章收集研究资料。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Herbert had been a working writer since the age of 19, and his fortunes had always been uneven. After a hard childhood in a small coastal community, he had worked for various regional newspapers and sold short stories to magazines. After that, he lived in Washington as a speechwriter for a Republican politician. He was also constantly short of money. (赫伯特从19岁起就成为了一名职业作家,他的生活境遇一直起伏不定。在沿海小社区度过艰难的童年后,他曾在多家地方报社工作,并向杂志出售短篇小说。之后,他住在华盛顿,担任一名共和党政客的演讲稿撰写人。他还经常缺钱。)”可知,在创作《沙丘》之前,赫伯特经济上拮据,但拥有报社工作、撰写短篇小说、担任政客演讲稿撰写人等多样经历。故选D项。
26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It was not an overnight commercial success, however. Its fan base built through the 1960s and 1970s, with readership spreading in communities, labs and studios — anywhere where the idea of global transformation seemed attractive. (然而,它并非一夜之间取得商业成功。在20世纪60至70年代,它的粉丝群体逐渐壮大,读者群扩散到社区、实验室和工作室——凡是“全球变革”这一理念具有吸引力的地方,都有它的读者。)”可知,《沙丘》的受欢迎程度是逐渐提升的,读者群在不同场所扩散,这主要源于感兴趣读者之间的口碑传播。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,第一段介绍赫伯特为杂志文章调研沙丘,由此开启与《沙丘》相关的创作;第二段讲述他创作《沙丘》前的生活经历;第三段描述《沙丘》从短篇科幻小说重写为长篇史诗,再到多次被拒后成功出版的过程;第四段提及《沙丘》获得奖项及后来逐渐受欢迎、成为经典的情况。文章围绕《沙丘》从创作背景到出版、再到成功的“历程”展开,因此“赫伯特《沙丘》的史诗之旅”最适合作为标题。故选B项。
C
Walk around most large cities in Europe and the United States, and you’d be thinking that we’re living in a new world of affordable and effortless mobility for all, with the smartphone in your pocket an entrance to shared bikes and electric cars. But if you’re disabled or elderly, living in a low-income area or without a smartphone or credit card, using these shared mobility services becomes a lot more difficult.
Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. Right now, various initiatives and projects are seeking creative solutions to reach underserved communities.
The E-Bike Library model was born in such context. E-bike libraries address a number of barriers: The bikes are free and the libraries are hosted by places that are already an important part of the community. In addition to maintaining the bikes, the programs also organize training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety.
For Mobitwin, a social transportation service for elderly people and those with reduced mobility, personal interactions and affordability are important. Founded by the Belgian mobility nongovernmental organization Mpact, Mobitwin lets elderly people request a vehicle ride from a volunteer for a minimal fee. The program, which has been running since the 1980s, currently serves around 40,000 people in Belgium.
Being able to get out and about is a crucial part of participating in society, and reduced mobility in old age goes hand in hand with social isolation and loneliness, according to Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact. “We want to make sure that people who are often not in the social cycle of going to work or school, who are actually often left out, still have an option to get out of the house and do the simple daily things, like going to the grocery store or seeing families,” he says, “our big goal is to engage as many people as possible in shared mobility, so supporting service is essential to facilitate this shift.”
28. What is the problem with the current shared mobility according to the text?
A. Disturbance to traffic order. B. Overdependence on smart devices.
C. Limited involvement of certain groups. D. Heavy financial burden for vehicle users.
29. How does the E-Bike Library help underserved groups?
A. By upgrading cycling facilities. B. By publishing cycling-related books.
C. By building a cycling-support community. D. By providing safety guarantees for cycling.
30. Which of the following words best describes Mobitwin?
A. Experimental. B. Commercial. C. Accessible. D. Digital.
31. What can you infer from Esen Köse’s words?
A. Social mobility depends on financial aid.
B. Shared mobility promotes green travel shift.
C. Public mobility is mainly based on device updates.
D. Mobility is a key to the elderly’s emotional wellness.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了两个项目,致力于解决共享移动服务人群覆盖不足的问题。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But if you’re disabled or elderly, living in a low-income area or without a smartphone or credit card, using these shared mobility services becomes a lot more difficult.(但如果你身有残疾、年事已高、居住在低收入地区或者没有智能手机和信用卡,那么使用这些共享出行服务就会变得困难得多)”和第二段“But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone.(但要发挥最大的效力,它就必须让所有人都参与进来)”可知,残疾人群和老年人群使用共享移动服务困难,共享移动服务需要将社会的每一个人包括进来。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The E-Bike Library model was born in such context. E-bike libraries address a number of barriers: The bikes are free, and the libraries are hosted by places that are already an important part of the community. In addition to maintaining the bikes, the programs also organize training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety.(“电动自行车图书馆”模式正是在这种背景下应运而生的。电动自行车图书馆解决了诸多难题:这些自行车是免费提供的,而且图书馆设立在已经深深融入社区的场所内。除了维护自行车外,这些项目还组织培训、团体骑行活动以及教育活动,以帮助人们熟悉骑行文化和安全知识)”可知,电动自行车图书馆通过建立一个支持骑行的社群帮助那些弱势群体。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“For Mobitwin, a social transportation service for elderly people and those with reduced mobility, personal interactions and affordability are important. Founded by the Belgian mobility nongovernmental organization Mpact, Mobitwin lets elderly people request a vehicle ride from a volunteer for a minimal fee.(对于“摩比特温”这一专为老年人及行动不便者提供的社交出行服务而言,人际互动和价格合理性至关重要。该服务由比利时的非政府组织“姆帕克特”创立,它允许老年人向志愿者申请乘车服务,并只需支付少量费用)”可知,Mobitwin使老年人能以极低廉的价格获得志愿者搭载服务,特点是“可获得的”。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“We want to make sure that people who are often not in the social cycle of going to work or school, who are actually often left out, still have an option to get out of the house and do the simple daily things, like going to the grocery store or seeing families(我们希望确保那些通常无法参与正常工作或上学的群体(他们往往会被排除在外),仍然能够有机会走出家门,去做一些简单的日常事情,比如去超市购物或者探望家人)”和“Being able to get out and about is a crucial part of participating in society, and reduced mobility in old age goes hand in hand with social isolation and loneliness, according to Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact.(埃森·科斯是“Mpact”项目的负责人,他表示:“能够外出活动是参与社会生活的重要组成部分,而老年人行动能力的下降往往伴随着社交孤立和孤独感的产生。”)”可知,增强老年人的活动能力,使其有条件走出家门参与日常社会活动是减少其情感孤独的关键因素之一。故选D。
D
For decades, scientists have identified chronic low-level inflammation (炎症) — called “inflammaging” — as one of the primary drivers of age-related diseases. Think of it as your body’s immune system stuck in overdrive — constantly fighting battles that don’t exist, gradually wearing down organs and systems. But a new study challenges that idea and could reshape how we think about aging itself.
The research, published in Nature Aging, compared patterns of inflammation in four very different communities around the world. Two groups were from modern, industrialised societies — older adults living in Italy and Singapore. The other two were pristine communities who live more traditional lifestyles: the Tsimane people of the Bolivian Amazon and the Orang Asli in the forests of Malaysia.
The researchers analysed blood samples from more than 2,800 people, looking at a wide range of inflammatory molecules (分子), known as cytokines. Among the Italian and Singaporean participants, the researchers found a fairly consistent inflammaging pattern. As people aged, levels of inflammatory markers in the blood rose together. Higher levels were linked to a greater risk of chronic diseases including kidney disease and heart disease. But in the Tsimane and Orang Asli populations, the inflammaging pattern was absent. The same inflammatory molecules did not rise consistently with age, and they were not strongly linked to age-related diseases. In fact, among the Tsimane, who face high rates of microorganism infections, inflammation levels were often high. Yet this did not lead to the same rates of chronic diseases that are common in industrialised nations.
These results raise important questions. One possibility is that inflammaging, at least as measured through these blood signals, is not a universal biological feature of aging. Instead, it may arise in societies marked by high-calorie diets, low physical activity and reduced exposure to infections.
In other words, chronic inflammation linked to aging and disease might not simply result from an inevitable biological process, but rather from a mismatch between our ancient physiology and the modern environment. If these findings are confirmed, they could have some significant consequences.
32. How is inflammaging related to aging in the established scientific view?
A. It attacks human organs. B. It causes the inactivity of organs.
C. It generates overactive immune response. D. It lowers the efficiency of immune system.
33. What does the word “pristine” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Unspoiled. B. Unwelcoming. C. Unsafe. D. Unlivable.
34. What has the study found about the Tsimane and Orang Asli people?
A. They seldom develop chronic diseases.
B. Their blood lacks inflammatory markers.
C. They rarely get exposed to sources of infection.
D. Their inflammation levels are independent of aging.
35. What does the new study suggest?
A. Inflammaging is a signal of aging.
B. Inflammaging is biologically unavoidable.
C. Repeated infections hold back inflammaging.
D. Modern lifestyle contributes to inflammaging.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一项新的研究,指出炎症性衰老并不是一个不可避免的生理现象,而是与我们当代的生活方式息息相关。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Think of it as your body’s immune system stuck in overdrive — constantly fighting battles that don’t exist, gradually wearing down organs and systems. (把它想象成你身体的免疫系统陷入了超速状态——不断地与不存在的战斗作斗争,逐渐消耗了器官和系统。)”可知,长期低水平炎症使得身体的免疫系统陷入过度激活状态,持续对抗不存在的敌人,逐渐消耗各个器官和系统。故选C。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。从第二段“Two groups were from modern, industrialised societies — older adults living in Italy and Singapore. (其中两组来自现代工业化社会——生活在意大利和新加坡的老年人。)”和“who live more traditional lifestyles: the Tsimane people of the Bolivian Amazon and the Orang Asli in the forests of Malaysia. (他们过着更传统的生活方式:玻利维亚亚马逊地区的Tsimane人和马来西亚森林里的Orang Asli人。)”可知,研究选取了现代工业化社会下的人群和原始社区过着传统生活方式的人群进行比较,pristine的意思是“未受损害的,处于原始状态的”,和unspoiled意思相近。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But in the Tsimane and Orang Asli populations, the inflammaging pattern was absent. The same inflammatory molecules did not rise consistently with age, and they were not strongly linked to age-related diseases. (但在Tsimane人和Orang Asli人中,没有这种炎症模式。同样的炎症分子并没有随着年龄的增长而持续增加,它们与年龄相关的疾病也没有很强的联系。)”可知,这项研究发现Tsimane人和Orang Asli人的炎症水平与年龄无关。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“One possibility is that inflammaging, at least as measured through these blood signals, is not a universal biological feature of aging. Instead, it may arise in societies marked by high-calorie diets, low physical activity and reduced exposure to infections. (一种可能性是,炎症,至少通过这些血液信号来衡量,并不是衰老的普遍生物学特征。相反,它可能出现在以高热量饮食、低体力活动和低感染风险为特征的社会。)”可知,新的研究表明现代生活方式会导致炎症。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个可以帮助人们确定职业的方法。
【36题详解】
空前“Your talents, your passions and your mission are like the small wires.(你的才能,你的激情和你的使命就像细小的电线)”指出才能、激情和使命就像细小的电线。由此可知,这些细小的电线结合在一起,就能绘制出我们的职业。F项“它们结合在一起,形成了一幅你天生适合做的事情的画面。”符合语境,they指代上文提到的“talents, your passions and your mission”。故选F。
【37题详解】
上文“No matter who you are, there are plenty of things you’re good at. You might know what those talents are already, but go ahead and make a list of every one that comes to mind. (无论你是谁,你都有很多擅长的事情。你可能已经知道这些才能是什么了,但是继续吧,把你想到的每一个都列出来)”指出我们应该把自己的每一个才能都列出来。由此推测,空处可能陈述把它们列出来的原因。E项“这些都是告诉你自己优势所在的线索。”符合语境。故选E。
【38题详解】
上文“If you’re going to find a meaningful career, passion isn’t just a pipe dream but a must. It means the work will fulfill you.(如果你想找到一份有意义的职业,激情不是白日梦,而是必须的。这意味着工作将使你充实)”指出激情的重要性,下文“To sustain commitment over the long stretch, you also need a deeper purpose. (为了长期维持投入,你还需要一个更深层次的目标)”指出还需要一个更深层次的目标。由此可知,只有激情是不够的。C项“然而,只有激情是不够的。”符合语境,承上启下。故选C。
【39题详解】
空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“Matters like how much money you want to make and where you want to live are important too. Think about these questions to narrow down your options: How much money do you need to make? Do you want flexibility in your job? What kind of benefits are important to you? What kind of environment do you excel in?(像你想赚多少钱,你想住在哪里这样的事情也很重要。想想这些问题来缩小你的选择范围:你需要赚多少钱?你想要工作上的灵活性吗?什么样的福利对你来说是重要的?你最擅长的环境是什么?)”可知,后文列举的都是工作的实际考量因素(收入、工作地点、福利等)。B项“考虑工作中实际的部分。”概括本段内容,可以作为主旨句。故选B。
【40题详解】
上文“If you’ve managed to get through everything above and have a clear answer for what you’re wired to do, congratulations! If you’re still unsure, that’s okay.(如果你已经完成了上面的所有事情,并且对你想要做的事情有了一个明确的答案,那么恭喜你!如果你仍然不确定,没关系)”指出对想做的事有了明确的答案这很好,如果还没确定也没关系。由此可知,做明确的决定不用着急,可以慢慢思考。D项“你没必要在晚饭前搞清楚。”符合语境,承接上文。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了拉布布玩偶的受欢迎程度及其对泡泡玛特品牌的影响。
【56题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:在上海,泡泡玛特这家巨型旗舰店周围,大量顾客被告知需要等待一周或更长时间。本句缺少谓语,由于主语a large number of customers和tell之间是被动关系,且描述的是现在的状况,所以空处需用一般现在时的被动语态,又因主语是复数,故填are told。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意:不仅仅是中国的孩子们试图得到它们,包括流行歌手蕾哈娜和前足球运动员大卫·贝克汉姆在内的名人在社交媒体上发布了拉布布的照片。根据空后名词celebrities可知,空处需用介词including“包括……在内”,表示补充说明。故填including。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同上。空处需用不定冠词修饰名词ex-footballer,表示泛指,又因ex-footballer首字母的发音为元音音素,所以用an。故填an。
【59题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:人们对拉布布的热情使泡泡玛特的股价自年初以来上涨了180%。根据时间状语since the start of the year可知,空处谓语动词需用现在完成时态,主语是单数enthusiasm,所以此处助动词需用has。故填has sent。
60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它是人气飙升的中国消费品牌之一。空处需用关系词引导定语从句,先行词是brands,指物,关系词在定语从句中作定语,表示所属关系,所以空处需用关系代词whose引导定语从句。故填whose。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:过去,中国消费者会去海外寻找化妆品、时尚等领域的最新潮流。look for“寻找”,是固定短语,所以空处需用介词for。故填for。
【62题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:经济增长放缓导致家庭支出减弱。cause sb./sth. to do sth.“导致某人/某物做某事”,固定搭配,所以空处需用动词原形构成不定式;weaken的动词为“减弱”。故填weaken。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意:据称,消费降级是中国品牌受到关注的部分原因。根据空前定冠词the可知,空处需用名词explanation“解释”,作介词of的宾语。故填explanation。
【64题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:许多中国咖啡饮用者发现,库迪或瑞幸等本土连锁店和星巴克一样好,但往往便宜得多。根据空前much和转折连词but可知,空处需用形容词expensive的比较级less expensive,表示“更便宜”。故填less expensive。
【65题详解】
考查动名词。句意:汇丰银行的Lina Yan表示,泡泡玛特与拉布布娃娃的成功部分来自于针对那些购买高品质、“感性”产品的消费者。介词from后需接动名词作宾语,target“把……作为目标”的动名词为targeting。故填targeting。

Dear Alex,
Hope you’re doing well! The Heilongjiang Provincial Museum is hosting a “Cultural Relics Revival Season” recently, and I’d be thrilled to invite you to check it out with me. It’ll be a rare chance to explore Chinese history up close.
This special exhibition uses digital magic to “revive” relics — ancient artifacts “come alive” through 3D projections and interactive displays. Visitors can try piecing together broken pottery digitally or “wear” ancient costumes via AR. These hands-on experiences allow us to feel history in a fun and immersive way.
If you are interested, shall we meet at the museum gate at 9 am this Saturday? Please drop me a line with your decision. I’m really looking forward to this magical cultural journey with you!
Yours,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Even before I finished dialing. I somehow knew I’d made a mistake.
“You got the wrong number!” an old male voice snapped (厉声说) before the line went dead. Puzzled, I dialed again. “I said you got the wrong number!” came the voice. Once more the phone clicked in my ear.
At that time, I worked for the New York City Police Department. A policeman is trained to be curious and concerned. So I dialed a third time.
“Is this you again?” the man said. “Yeah, it’s me,” I answered. “I was wondering how you knew I had the wrong number before l even said anything? The only thing I can think of is...nobody ever calls you.”
“You got it.” The phone went dead for the third time.
Smiling, I dialed the man back. “Well,if nobody ever calls you, I thought maybe I should. ” At last, I had got through. Now he was curious. I told him who I was and asked who he was.
“My name is Adolf Meth. I’m 88 years old, and I haven’t had this many wrong numbers in one day in 20 years!” We both laughed. We talked for 10 minutes.
Everyone Adolf had been close to had died. Then we discovered we had something in common: he’d worked for the New York City Police Department for nearly 40 years. Telling me about his days there, he seemed interesting even friendly.
I called Adolf the following afternoon and several days later. He shared fascinating memories of World Wars I and II, the Hindenburg disaster, and more.
I was not just being kind to a lonely man. Talking to Adolf was important to me because I, too, had a big gap in my life. Raised in orphanages (孤儿院), I never had a father. Gradually, Adolf took on a kind of fatherly importance to me. I talked about my job and college courses, which I attended at night. Adolf warmed to the role of consultant. He often listened patiently and offered advice filled with the wisdom of a lifetime.

【答案】例文
One evening, Adolf mentioned his 89th birthday was coming up. My heart ached at the thought of him spending it alone. After hanging up, I immediately went shopping and found a beautiful handcrafted leather journal, perfect for recording his lifetime of stories. On the cover, I engraved “Adolf’s Memoirs”. I knew this weathered yet sharp-minded man had decades of incredible experiences to preserve, from serving on New York’s streets to witnessing history untold. I did hope the gift might help him feel his life truly mattered.
I drove to his address to hand-deliver the present. After I knocked at the door, it creaked open to reveal Adolf, thinner than I’d imagined but with eyes bright as ever. “Well, you’re not a wrong number this time,” he said, grinning. I presented my gift and his hands trembled as he stroked the leather journal. “Young man,” he finally said, voice trembling, “this is the first birthday present I’ve received since my wife passed away.” That afternoon, for the first time his house felt like a home — with laughter, not silence.

Despite the very best efforts of our education system, it is struggling to cope with fully supporting the emotional well-being of our children. Have you ever felt that you would love to help, but were powerless to act? Well, here’s your opportunity to do something positive. The Ollie School plans to build an army of coaches who can make the world a better place.
Comprehensive training
Ollie Coaching is a comprehensive approach that leads all our youngsters to a place where they can thrive in the chaos of modern living. The Ollie School trains coaches in an integration of methodologies to make sure they cover all the bases.
Learn with flexibility
So many schools are battling to provide an appropriate mental health environment, and the Ollie methodology is working on empowering children to seek solutions and take control of their emotions rather than be controlled by them. It is all about personalisation and identifying which technique will work with each individual child — no one-size-fits-all approach here.
Licence to help
The Ollie School graduates are awarded a certified qualification in NLP(Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and a licence to work as an Ollie Coach.
Courses are a combination of online and in person, offering the best of both worlds, with a limited number of trainees to maximise learning potential. If helping children and their families to be more emotionally tough appeals to you, visit ollieandhissuperpowers. com to find out more.
21. What is a feature of the Ollie methodology?
A. Innovative course design. B. Tailored strategy.
C. Standard teaching procedure. D. Group-based instruction.
22. What do the Ollie School students obtain after graduation?
A. A school job offer. B. Free membership.
C. A coaching licence. D. Follow-up training.
23. Who are the Ollie School intended for?
A. Those aiming at job hunting. B. Those trapped in academic anxiety.
C. Those struggling with family issues. D. Those devoted to emotional support.

In 1959, if you were walking the sand dunes (沙丘) near Florence, Oregon, you might have encountered a bearded man, walking quickly in army clothing. Frank Herbert, a writer with an interest in ecology, was gathering information for a magazine story about a U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program to stabilize (固定) the shifting sands by introducing European beach grass.
Herbert had been a working writer since the age of 19, and his fortunes had always been uneven. After a hard childhood in a small coastal community, he had worked for various regional newspapers and sold short stories to magazines. After that, he lived in Washington as a speechwriter for a Republican politician. He was also constantly short of money. During the period he wrote Dune, his wife Beverly Ann was the main breadwinner, with a job of producing advertising copy for department stores.
Soon Herbert’s research into dunes became research into desert cultures. It overpowered his article about the heroism of the men of the USDA and became two short science fiction novels, released in series in one of the more celebrated sci-fi magazines. Unsatisfied, Herbert painstakingly reworked his two novels into a single, giant epic (史诗). But publishers then believed sci-fi readers preferred short stories. Dune, 400 pages in its first hardcover edition, was rejected by more than 20 publishing houses before being accepted by Chilton, a Philadelphia company known for trade and hobby magazines.
In 1965, Dune won the Nebula and Hugo Awards, the two most important science fiction prizes. It was not an overnight commercial success, however. Its fan base built through the 1960s and 1970s, with readership spreading in communities, labs and studios — anywhere where the idea of global transformation seemed attractive. Nearly six decades later, it has sold nearly 20 million copies around the world and is considered to be the greatest sci-fi novels.
24. Why did Herbert visit the sand dunes near Florence in 1959?
A. To seek inspiration for his new novel.
B. To investigate unusual sand formations.
C. To study European beach grass for the USDA.
D. To research an article about an ecological project.
25. What does the passage reveal about Herbert’s life before Dune?
A. He enjoyed a wealthy and carefree childhood.
B. He initially focused on desert ecology research.
C. He was determined to make a difference in politics.
D. He struggled financially but gained diverse experience.
26. What primarily contributed to Dune’s gradual rise in popularity?
A. Chilton’s successful advertising campaign.
B. Herbert’s reputation as a Sci-fi award winner.
C. Word-of-mouth sharing among interested readers.
D. USDA’s favorable remarks on his previous articles.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Ecological Roots of Dune B. The Epic Journey of Herbert’s Dune
C. Herbert: From Journalist to Sci-fi Legend D. Sci-fi: From Little Notice to Popularity
C
Walk around most large cities in Europe and the United States, and you’d be thinking that we’re living in a new world of affordable and effortless mobility for all, with the smartphone in your pocket an entrance to shared bikes and electric cars. But if you’re disabled or elderly, living in a low-income area or without a smartphone or credit card, using these shared mobility services becomes a lot more difficult.
Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. Right now, various initiatives and projects are seeking creative solutions to reach underserved communities.
The E-Bike Library model was born in such context. E-bike libraries address a number of barriers: The bikes are free, and the libraries are hosted by places that are already an important part of the community. In addition to maintaining the bikes, the programs also organize training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety.
For Mobitwin, a social transportation service for elderly people and those with reduced mobility, personal interactions and affordability are important. Founded by the Belgian mobility nongovernmental organization Mpact, Mobitwin lets elderly people request a vehicle ride from a volunteer for a minimal fee. The program, which has been running since the 1980s, currently serves around 40,000 people in Belgium.
Being able to get out and about is a crucial part of participating in society, and reduced mobility in old age goes hand in hand with social isolation and loneliness, according to Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact. “We want to make sure that people who are often not in the social cycle of going to work or school, who are actually often left out, still have an option to get out of the house and do the simple daily things, like going to the grocery store or seeing families,” he says, “our big goal is to engage as many people as possible in shared mobility, so supporting service is essential to facilitate this shift.”
28. What is the problem with the current shared mobility according to the text?
A. Disturbance to traffic order. B. Overdependence on smart devices.
C. Limited involvement of certain groups. D. Heavy financial burden for vehicle users.
29. How does the E-Bike Library help underserved groups?
A. By upgrading cycling facilities. B. By publishing cycling-related books.
C. By building a cycling-support community. D. By providing safety guarantees for cycling.
30. Which of the following words best describes Mobitwin?
A Experimental. B. Commercial. C. Accessible. D. Digital.
31. What can you infer from Esen Köse’s words?
A. Social mobility depends on financial aid.
B. Shared mobility promotes green travel shift.
C. Public mobility is mainly based on device updates.
D. Mobility is a key to the elderly’s emotional wellness.
D
For decades, scientists have identified chronic low-level inflammation (炎症) — called “inflammaging” — as one of the primary drivers of age-related diseases. Think of it as your body’s immune system stuck in overdrive — constantly fighting battles that don’t exist, gradually wearing down organs and systems. But a new study challenges that idea and could reshape how we think about aging itself.
The research published in Nature Aging, compared patterns of inflammation in four very different communities around the world. Two groups were from modern, industrialised societies — older adults living in Italy and Singapore. The other two were pristine communities who live more traditional lifestyles: the Tsimane people of the Bolivian Amazon and the Orang Asli in the forests of Malaysia.
The researchers analysed blood samples from more than 2,800 people, looking at a wide range of inflammatory molecules (分子), known as cytokines. Among the Italian and Singaporean participants, the researchers found a fairly consistent inflammaging pattern. As people aged, levels of inflammatory markers in the blood rose together. Higher levels were linked to a greater risk of chronic diseases including kidney disease and heart disease. But in the Tsimane and Orang Asli populations, the inflammaging pattern was absent. The same inflammatory molecules did not rise consistently with age, and they were not strongly linked to age-related diseases. In fact, among the Tsimane, who face high rates of microorganism infections, inflammation levels were often high. Yet this did not lead to the same rates of chronic diseases that are common in industrialised nations.
These results raise important questions. One possibility is that inflammaging, at least as measured through these blood signals, is not a universal biological feature of aging. Instead, it may arise in societies marked by high-calorie diets, low physical activity and reduced exposure to infections.
In other words, chronic inflammation linked to aging and disease might not simply result from an inevitable biological process, but rather from a mismatch between our ancient physiology and the modern environment. If these findings are confirmed, they could have some significant consequences.
32. How is inflammaging related to aging in the established scientific view?
A. It attacks human organs. B. It causes the inactivity of organs.
C. It generates overactive immune response. D. It lowers the efficiency of immune system.
33. What does the word “pristine” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Unspoiled. B. Unwelcoming. C. Unsafe. D. Unlivable.
34. What has the study found about the Tsimane and Orang Asli people?
A. They seldom develop chronic diseases.
B. Their blood lacks inflammatory markers.
C. They rarely get exposed to sources of infection.
D. Their inflammation levels are independent of aging.
35. What does the new study suggest?
A Inflammaging is a signal of aging.
B. Inflammaging is biologically unavoidable.
C. Repeated infections hold back inflammaging.
D. Modern lifestyle contributes to inflammaging.

Even before I finished dialing. I somehow knew I’d made a mistake.
“You got the wrong number!” an old male voice snapped (厉声说) before the line went dead. Puzzled, I dialed again. “I said you got the wrong number!” came the voice. Once more the phone clicked in my ear.
At that time, I worked for the New York City Police Department. A policeman is trained to be curious and concerned. So I dialed a third time.
“Is this you again?” the man said. “Yeah, it’s me,” I answered. “I was wondering how you knew I had the wrong number before l even said anything? The only thing I can think of is...nobody ever calls you.”
“You got it.” The phone went dead for the third time.
Smiling, I dialed the man back. “Well,if nobody ever calls you, I thought maybe I should. ” At last, I had got through. Now he was curious. I told him who I was and asked who he was.
“My name is Adolf Meth. I’m 88 years old, and I haven’t had this many wrong numbers in one day in 20 years!” We both laughed. We talked for 10 minutes.
Everyone Adolf had been close to had died. Then we discovered we had something in common: he’d worked for the New York City Police Department for nearly 40 years. Telling me about his days there, he seemed interesting even friendly.
I called Adolf the following afternoon and several days later. He shared fascinating memories of World Wars I and II, the Hindenburg disaster, and more.
I was not just being kind to a lonely man. Talking to Adolf was important to me because I, too, had a big gap in my life. Raised in orphanages (孤儿院), I never had a father. Gradually, Adolf took on a kind of fatherly importance to me. I talked about my job and college courses, which I attended at night. Adolf warmed to the role of consultant. He often listened patiently and offered advice filled with the wisdom of a lifetime.
