After years spent running and dieting, Casey Johnston came across a post about weightlifting.
“I don’t lift to be attractive. I lift to be strong,” Johnston recalls one devoted powerlifter posting.
“Liar,” Johnston thought to herself. “After all, isn’t attractiveness the reason why most people work out?”
Johnston wanted to look attractive in college. She tried, at first, just dieting. That didn’t get her all the way to where she thought she should be — weight-wise. Then she started running. She was running more and more and eating less and less, but sort of staying in the same place. She just had the impression that she should always be losing weight.
Then she learned that what had happened through all of this weight-loss pursuit was that she had dieted and exercised away all of her lean body mass (去脂体重). She thought her muscles were just there waiting to be uncovered if she lost enough weight. It turned out that, actually, if you aren’t protecting your muscles actively, they can go away.
While running, Johnston found it punishing, but it was a way to achieve one goal that consumed her: not being fat. She had absorbed the cultural message that the purpose of exercise was to make her as small as possible.
Johnston admits that she was first drawn to weightlifting for the same reason. But gradually, she discovered strength training could offer more.
She says lifting weights helped repair her disordered eating and allowed her to enjoy food. “When I gave it a chance, with these basic elements, I found it transformative. That work of looking closer and listening to myself is worth the time,” she shares. “Most importantly, it changed my attitude about my own body, from one centered on denial of pleasure to a relationship that now embraces movement, rest and eating equally. My body could feel good, even powerful.”
4. How did Johnston find the post at first?
A. Inspiring. B. Ordinary. C. Innovative. D. Unconvincing.
5. What was the outcome of Johnston’s dieting and running in college?
A. She became too weak to study. B. She gained more lean body mass.
C. She didn’t look the way she had expected. D. She lost more weight than planned.
6. Why did Johnston start to learn to lift weights?
A. For weight loss. B. For education.
C. For entertainment. D. For cultural exchange.
7. What is the focus of the last paragraph?
A. How Johnston became more attractive. B. How weightlifting benefited Johnston.
C. How Johnston trained for weightlifting. D. How exercise pressure affected Johnston.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了凯西・约翰斯顿(Casey Johnston)最初为追求外表吸引力而节食、跑步,却未能达到预期效果,后来接触举重运动,不仅修复了饮食失调,还改变了对自身身体态度的经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I don’t lift to be attractive. I lift to be strong.(我举重不是为了好看,而是为了强壮。)”以及第三段““Liar,” Johnston thought to herself. “After all, isn’t attractiveness the reason why most people work out?”(“骗子,”约翰斯顿心里想,“毕竟,吸引力难道不是大多数人锻炼的原因吗?”)” 可知,Johnston最初认为这个帖子的内容不可信。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Johnston wanted to look attractive in college. She tried, at first, just dieting. That didn’t get her all the way to where she thought she should be — weight-wise. Then she started running. She was running more and more and eating less and less, but sort of staying in the same place.(约翰斯顿在大学时想让自己看起来有吸引力。起初她只尝试节食,但体重方面并没有达到她认为应该达到的状态。然后她开始跑步,跑得越来越多、吃得越来越少,却似乎一直停在原地。)” 可知,Johnston大学时节食和跑步的结果是,她并没有变成自己预期的样子。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段中的“Johnston admits that she was first drawn to weightlifting for the same reason.(约翰斯顿承认,她最初被举重吸引也是出于同样的原因。)”,结合前文可知“同样的原因”指第四段提到的“Johnston wanted to look attractive in college.(约翰斯顿在大学时想让自己看起来有吸引力。)”,即最初为了减重、追求外表吸引力而开始举重。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“She says lifting weights helped repair her disordered eating and allowed her to enjoy food. ‘When I gave it a chance, with these basic elements, I found it transformative. That work of looking closer and listening to myself is worth the time,’ she shares. ‘Most importantly, it changed my attitude about my own body, from one centered on denial of pleasure to a relationship that now embraces movement, rest and eating equally. My body could feel good, even powerful.’(她说举重有助于修复她不健康的饮食习惯,让她享受食物。“当我给它一个机会,用这些基本的元素,我发现它是变革性的。更仔细地观察和倾听自己的声音是值得花时间的,”她分享道。“最重要的是,它改变了我对自己身体的态度,从一种以拒绝享受为中心的态度转变为一种现在同样接受运动、休息和饮食的关系。我的身体可以感觉良好,甚至充满力量。”)”可知,最后一段主要讲述了举重给Johnston带来的好处,包括修复不健康的饮食习惯、让她享受食物以及改变她对自己身体的态度。故选B。
C
Intellectually humble people are able to recognize and admit to the limitations of their knowledge. They tend to be more open-minded, discerning, and respectful of others. This suggests that intellectual humility (谦卑) could be a virtue worth developing, especially in children. In fact, a new study discovered that they already do, from quite a young age.
In this study, a diverse group of over 100 four-to-eleven-year-old children were asked how they felt about a humble versus an over-confident adult figure. The children were presented with an ambiguous (模棱两可的) object or word. Then, the children heard two adults answer questions regarding the object or word, including what it was, how sure they were about their identification, and if they were open to it possibly being something else. Each adult initially identified the object or word in the same way. But the humble person said they were “pretty sure” they were right but that the word or object could be something else, while the over-confident person said they were “definitely sure” they were right and it couldn’t be otherwise.
After viewing these interviews, the children rated whom they liked more and would rather learn from. By analyzing their responses, the researchers found that children aged five and a half years and older preferred humble people to over-confident people.
“This suggests that children as young as five and a half recognize the value of intellectual humility,” says researcher Shauna Bowes of Vanderbilt University.
Bowes’s finding suggests that children could benefit from adults modeling intellectual humility at younger ages. For example, elementary school teachers could express uncertainty in situations where the answer isn’t clear, nudging kids toward staying open and digging deeper into ambiguous topics. Similarly, parents could model humility with their young children, encouraging them to tackle complex problems.
Bowes hopes that when adults model intellectual humility, children learn that no one has all of the answers. “There is power in saying ‘I’m not entirely sure and my knowledge is fallible, and so is yours. But we can come together and talk’,” says Bowes. “I think the earlier kids learn to do this, the better.”
8. What is a difference between the two adult figures?
A. The kids viewing their interviews. B. The object or word they identified.
C. Their initial way to identify an object. D. Their attitude to their identification.
9. What might be concluded according to the new study?
A. Over-confidence gives rise to misunderstandings.
B. Young children prefer people acting with humility.
C. Humble people are bound to learn more from others.
D. Children are fairly insensitive to intellectual humility.
10. What does the word “nudging” underlined in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Controlling. B. Following. C. Motivating. D. Judging.
11. What message does Bowes deliver in the last paragraph?
A. Discussion doesn’t always lead to certainty.
B. Hiding one’s ignorance helps maintain authority.
C. Knowledgeable people are eager to share resources.
D. It’s necessary to admit to one’s knowledge limitations.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现,5岁半以上儿童更偏爱智识谦逊而非自负的成人,表明从小培养智识谦逊的重要性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But the humble person said they were “pretty sure” they were right but that the word or object could be something else, while the over-confident person said they were “definitely sure” they were right and it couldn’t be otherwise. (但那位谦逊的人表示,他们“相当肯定”自己是对的,但这个词语或物品也有可能是别的东西;而那位过于自信的人则表示,他们“绝对肯定”自己是对的,不可能有其他情况。)”可知,两名成年人对同一模糊事物的初步判断相同,但谦卑者表示“相当确定(pretty sure)”且接受其他可能性,自负者声称“绝对肯定(definitely sure)”且拒绝其他可能,故差异在于对自己的判断的态度。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“By analyzing their responses, the researchers found that children aged five and a half years and older preferred humble people to over-confident people. (通过对他们的回答进行分析,研究人员发现,五岁半及以上的儿童更倾向于喜欢谦逊的人,而非过于自信的人。)”可知,根据研究可知,小孩子更喜欢谦逊的人。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“For example, elementary school teachers could express uncertainty in situations where the answer isn’t clear, nudging kids toward staying open and digging deeper into ambiguous topics. (例如,小学教师在面对答案不明确的情况时,可以表现出不确定的态度,nudging学生保持开放的心态,并深入探讨那些模糊不清的话题。)”和下句“Similarly, parents could model humility with their young children, encouraging them to tackle complex problems. (同样地,父母可以在年幼的孩子面前树立谦逊的榜样,鼓励他们去解决复杂的问题。)”可知,nudging与下句中的encouraging意思一致,表示“鼓励、激励”。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Bowes hopes that when adults model intellectual humility, children learn that no one has all of the answers. “There is power in saying ‘I’m not entirely sure and my knowledge is fallible, and so is yours. But we can come together and talk’,” says Bowes. “I think the earlier kids learn to do this, the better.” (鲍斯希望,当成年人展现出求知谦逊时,孩子们就明白了没有人能掌握所有答案。“可以说‘我并不完全确定,我的知识也是有缺陷的,所以你们的知识也是如此。但我们可以一起交流探讨’,”鲍斯说道。“我认为孩子们越早学会这样做越好。”)”可知,鲍斯认为承认自身认知的局限性是非常必要的。故选D。
D
In recent years, the sharp increase in global rocket launches has transformed the sky, fueled by the rapid growth of the space industry. This creates major opportunities but also raises environmental challenges. Pollutants released during rocket launches and re-entry are left in the middle atmosphere, where they can damage the ozone layer (臭氧层) which protects Earth against harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Investigations into how rocket emissions (排放) affect ozone began more than three decades ago, but for many years the impact was considered minimal. As the frequency of launches continues to rise, this view is shifting. In 2019, only 97 orbital launches were recorded worldwide, but by 2024, the figure had climbed to 258, with projections pointing to continued rapid growth.
Unlike ground-level pollutants, emissions from rockets and re-entering satellites can stay in the middle and upper atmosphere up to 100 times longer, since removal processes such as precipitation do not occur at those heights. While most launches take place in the Northern Hemisphere, the atmospheric flow eventually distributes the pollutants globally.
Recently, researchers from ETH Zurich and the Physical Meteorological Observatory in Davos, in cooperation with Laura Revell’s international team at the University of Canterbury, used a chemistry-climate model to see how future emissions might impact the ozone layer by 2030.
With 2,040 annual launches by 2030 — roughly eight times the 2024 total — the model predicts that global average ozone thickness would decrease by nearly 0.3%. Seasonal losses could reach as much as 4% over Antarctica, where the ozone hole continues to reappear each spring.
While these reductions may appear small, the context is critical. The ozone layer is still recovering from the earlier loss caused by long-lived chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were banned under the 1989 Montreal Protocol. Even today, global ozone thickness remains about 2% below pre-industrial levels, and the full recovery is not expected until around 2066.
But we believe a launch industry that avoids ozone-damaging effects is entirely possible: Monitoring rocket emissions and carrying out necessary and appropriate regulations are all key to ensuring that the ozone layer continues its recovery. This requires scientists, policymakers, and industry to work together.
12. What is the current view on rocket emissions?
A. Their impact will become severe. B. Their distribution is location-limited.
C. They will decrease at a faster speed. D. They can be removed by precipitation.
13. Why was the recent research on rocket emissions conducted?
A. To seek potential solutions. B. To look into their future effect.
C. To address climate change challenges. D. To figure out the leading contributors.
14. What is the function of paragraph 6?
A. To show protecting the ozone layer is possible.
B. To indicate the dark future of the space industry.
C. To argue that the model predictions are worrying.
D. To set standards for global average ozone thickness.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Global Rocket Launches Are Rocketing
B. Can the Ozone Layer Still Protect Earth?
C. Rockets Could Eat Away at the Ozone Layer
D. Can Ozone-damaging Effects Be Avoided?
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了全球火箭发射数量激增对臭氧层造成的渐进性破坏。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Investigations into how rocket emissions (排放) affect ozone began more than three decades ago, but for many years the impact was considered minimal. As the frequency of launches continues to rise, this view is shifting.(关于火箭排放物对臭氧影响的研究始于三十多年前,但多年来人们一直认为这种影响微乎其微。然而,随着发射活动的频率不断增加,这种观点正在发生转变。)”可知,人们现在认为火箭排放物对臭氧的影响会随着火箭发射频率的增加而变得严重。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Recently, researchers from ETH Zurich and the Physical Meteorological Observatory in Davos, in cooperation with Laura Revell’s international team at the University of Canterbury, used a chemistry-climate model to see how future emissions might impact the ozone layer by 2030.(最近,来自苏黎世联邦理工学院和达沃斯物理气象观测站的研究人员,与坎特伯雷大学劳拉·雷维尔的国际团队合作,利用化学气候模型来研究未来排放量到2030年时会对臭氧层产生何种影响。)”可知,近期对火箭排放的研究是为了研究它们未来对臭氧层的影响。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“the model predicts that global average ozone thickness would decrease by nearly 0.3%. Seasonal losses could reach as much as 4% over Antarctica, where the ozone hole continues to reappear each spring.(该模型预测,全球平均臭氧层厚度将减少约 0.3%。在南极洲,季节性臭氧损耗可能高达4%,在那里,臭氧空洞每年春季都会再度出现。)”和第六段“While these reductions may appear small, the context is critical.(虽然这些降幅看起来不大,但其背后的背景情况却非常重要。)”可知,第六段指出了模型预测的背景非常重要;结合第六段“The ozone layer is still recovering from the earlier loss caused by long-lived chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were banned under the 1989 Montreal Protocol. Even today, global ozone thickness remains about 2% below pre-industrial levels, and the full recovery is not expected until around 2066.(臭氧层仍在从早期由持久性氯氟烃(CFC)造成的损耗中恢复当中,这些物质是在1989年的《蒙特利尔议定书》中被禁止使用的。即便到了今天,全球臭氧层的厚度仍比工业化前水平低约2%,而其完全恢复预计要到 2066 年左右。)”可知,其背景是臭氧层本身仍在恢复中,非常脆弱,并且预计要到2066年才能完全恢复,说明该模型预测是令人担忧的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Pollutants released during rocket launches and re-entry are left in the middle atmosphere, where they can damage the ozone layer (臭氧层) which protects Earth against harmful ultraviolet radiation.(火箭发射和返回过程中释放的污染物会留在中间大气层中,在那里它们会损害保护地球免受有害的紫外线辐射的臭氧层。)”和第五段“the model predicts that global average ozone thickness would decrease by nearly 0.3%. Seasonal losses could reach as much as 4% over Antarctica, where the ozone hole continues to reappear each spring.(该模型预测,全球平均臭氧层厚度将减少约0.3%。在南极洲,季节性臭氧损耗可能高达4%,在那里,臭氧空洞每年春季都会再度出现。)”及全文内容可知,文章主要讨论了火箭发射激增对臭氧层的渐进性破坏。因此C项“火箭可能会侵蚀臭氧层”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Years ago, I visited a trade school and was so inspired by the introduction to the plumbing (管道) courses that I enrolled then and there. I completed a plumbing program, earning a certification of competency and was determined to take up an apprenticeship (学徒期)。
However, securing my first apprenticeship seemed impossible in New York City. ____16____ The only response I received was that I didn’t have enough hands-on experience. I found myself asking, “How can I get experience if I need experience before being considered for my first job?”
Then I spent six months on the Hurricane Harvey Relief Program in Rockport, Texas. During that time, as a volunteer, I was involved in setting up plumbing systems while fitting kitchens and bathrooms. I was able to learn from qualified contractors working on more technical issues. I also learned much about constructing homes, from hanging drywall to fitting doors, windows and flooring. ____17____ That was because volunteers needed to deal with various unusual problems.
When I returned home and updated my resume (简历), I was impressed by the list of skills I’d gathered in that short space of time. ____18____ It was encouraging to be offered many interviews. Eventually, I was hired as an apprentice plumber by the first company I interviewed with.
____19____ I wouldn’t have got the job if it hadn’t been for what I had learned on the program. If you are currently being told you need hands-on experience before you’ll be considered for an entry-level position, consider volunteering on programs. ____20____ My story is proof.
A. Many people are eager to be volunteers.
B. I really feel I owe that all to my volunteering experience.
C. With my newfound passion, I chose to get a different position.
D. You’ll learn a variety of skills that can be translated to suit many jobs.
E. I started applying for jobs again and I noticed a shift in responses from employers.
F. So many candidates were competing for the same role and I couldn’t land an interview.
G. There were also plenty of opportunities for me to pick up creative problem-solving skills.
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. E 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述作者考取管道工证书后难寻学徒工作,通过参与飓风救灾志愿活动积累技能,最终成功入职,以此证明志愿经历对求职的帮助。
【16题详解】
根据上文“However, securing my first apprenticeship seemed impossible in New York City. (然而,在纽约市找到第一份学徒工作似乎难如登天。)”以及下文“The only response I received was that I didn’t have enough hands-on experience. (我得到的唯一回应是,我没有足够的实操经验。)”可知,此空需补充“难寻学徒工作”的具体原因,衔接上下文。F选项“So many candidates were competing for the same role and I couldn’t land an interview. (有太多求职者竞争同一个岗位,我连面试机会都得不到。)”既解释了“找工作难”的客观原因(竞争激烈),又为下文“仅有的回应是缺乏经验”做铺垫,符合语境。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“I was able to learn from qualified contractors working on more technical issues. I also learned much about constructing homes, from hanging drywall to fitting doors, windows and flooring. (我能向专业承包商学习处理更复杂的技术问题,还学到了很多房屋建造知识,从安装石膏板到装配门窗和地板。)”以及下文“That was because volunteers needed to deal with various unusual problems. (那是因为志愿者需要处理各种不同寻常的问题。)”可知,此空需补充志愿活动中另一项重要收获,且与下文“处理特殊问题”相关。G选项“There were also plenty of opportunities for me to pick up creative problem-solving skills. (我也有很多机会学会创造性解决问题的技能。)”中的“creative problem-solving skills”既呼应下文“处理特殊问题”,又与上文“技术、建造知识”共同构成志愿活动的收获,符合语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“When I returned home and updated my resume (简历), I was impressed by the list of skills I’d gathered in that short space of time. (回到家后,我更新了简历,那段短时间内积累的技能清单让我自己都惊讶。)”以及下文“It was encouraging to be offered many interviews. (收到很多面试邀请,这太令人鼓舞了。)”可知,此空需衔接“更新简历”与“获得面试”,说明求职情况的变化。E选项“I started applying for jobs again and I noticed a shift in responses from employers. (我再次开始申请工作,并且注意到雇主的回应发生了变化。)”中的“started applying for jobs again”承接“更新简历”,“shift in responses”引出下文“获得面试”,符合语境。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“I wouldn’t have got the job if it hadn’t been for what I had learned on the program. (如果不是在那个项目中学到的东西,我根本得不到这份工作。)”可知,此空需总结“志愿经历”对获得工作的关键作用。B选项“I really feel I owe that all to my volunteering experience. (我真的觉得这一切都归功于我的志愿经历。)”中的“owe that all to”直接点明志愿经历是求职成功的关键,与下文“没有志愿经历就得不到工作”的假设一致,符合语境。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“If you are currently being told you need hands-on experience before you’ll be considered for an entry-level position, consider volunteering on programs. (如果你现在正因为缺乏实操经验,连入门级岗位的面试机会都得不到,不妨考虑参与志愿项目。)”以及下文“My story is proof. (我的经历就是证明。)”可知,此空需说明“参与志愿项目”的具体好处,呼应上文建议。D选项“You’ll learn a variety of skills that can be translated to suit many jobs. (你会学到多种技能,这些技能能转化应用到很多工作中。)”既解释了志愿项目的价值(积累可迁移技能),又为下文“我的经历是证明”提供理论支撑,符合语境。故选D项。

47. 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。
As my husband Bill and I drove to what was supposed to be our romantic anniversary (周年纪念日) getaway — an early autumn overnighter at a peaceful shore destination, an unexpected storm hit.
The Maple with its Olympic-size pool and award-winning restaurant was a perfect destination. Located atop a hill overlooking an ocean, it was within walking distance of a nearby town. At the other end of the road was a lighthouse where sightseers could climb the winding staircase to the observation spot.
This trip promised to be fantastic — until the rain poured down. The more I prayed, the harder it rained. We had to find a shelter to wait for the rain to stop. When we managed to get to The Maple, it was late at night.
The door of the indoor pool was locked. And it wouldn’t be open the next day, for it needed upgrading that day. I felt tears in my eyes.
Bill comforted, “We can have dinner in the restaurant you like.” So, we walked to the hotel restaurant, but were greeted by a sign: Closed on Mondays.
“Oh, I just studied the introduction to its delicious food! I thought it was open all the time,” I said to Bill. “I’m so sorry.”
“Relax, honey,” Bill said, “There must be something open in the nearby town.”
Soon, Bill and I found an old-fashioned restaurant in the town. There, we enjoyed our dinner while recalling our happy memories. When we considered having some dessert, the flash of a sign caught my attention. “Homemade ice cream,” it read. “Thirty flavors.” We ran to the corner shop, ordered several flavors and ate the whole thing. We felt like carefree teenagers!
When we returned to The Maple, Bill said, “Well, things didn’t go as expected. But tomorrow morning we can still climb to the top of the lighthouse before we drive back home. I know how much you want to do that.”
The following morning, as we approached the lighthouse, we saw another sign: CLOSED FOR REPAIRS. The storm must have damaged the lighthouse!
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Look! The beach ahead is still open. We can go there,” I said to Bill cheerfully.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As we drove home, Bill said to me, “This trip certainly didn’t go as planned, did it?”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Look! The beach ahead is still open. We can go there,” I said to Bill cheerfully. Bill’s eyes lit up, and he quickly parked the car. We rushed out, kicking off our shoes to feel the cool sand under our feet. I laughed as a small wave touched my toes, and Bill grabbed my hand to spin me around. We walked along the shore, picking up smooth shells now and then. The rain had stopped, leaving a bright rainbow in the sky. I felt my disappointment fade away, replaced by pure joy — this unplanned moment was more special than any fancy pool or restaurant.
As we drove home Bill said to me, “This trip certainly didn’t go as planned, did it?” I smiled and shook my head. “But it was better than planned,” I replied. I thought about our funny run to the ice cream shop and the warm walk on the beach. Those little surprises made our anniversary feel unique. Bill reached over to hold my hand, and I squeezed it softly. “Next year, maybe we’ll plan less and just enjoy whatever comes,” he said. I nodded happily, knowing that even when things go wrong, being with him turns ordinary moments into precious memories. This trip wasn’t what we expected, but it was exactly what we needed.

After years spent running and dieting, Casey Johnston came across a post about weightlifting.
“I don’t lift to be attractive. I lift to be strong,” Johnston recalls one devoted powerlifter posting.
“Liar,” Johnston thought to herself. “After all, isn’t attractiveness the reason why most people work out?”
Johnston wanted to look attractive in college. She tried, at first, just dieting. That didn’t get her all the way to where she thought she should be — weight-wise. Then she started running. She was running more and more and eating less and less, but sort of staying in the same place. She just had the impression that she should always be losing weight.
Then she learned that what had happened through all of this weight-loss pursuit was that she had dieted and exercised away all of her lean body mass (去脂体重). She thought her muscles were just there waiting to be uncovered if she lost enough weight. It turned out that, actually, if you aren’t protecting your muscles actively, they can go away.
While running, Johnston found it punishing, but it was a way to achieve one goal that consumed her: not being fat. She had absorbed the cultural message that the purpose of exercise was to make her as small as possible.
Johnston admits that she was first drawn to weightlifting for the same reason. But gradually, she discovered strength training could offer more.
She says lifting weights helped repair her disordered eating and allowed her to enjoy food. “When I gave it a chance, with these basic elements, I found it transformative. That work of looking closer and listening to myself is worth the time,” she shares. “Most importantly, it changed my attitude about my own body, from one centered on denial of pleasure to a relationship that now embraces movement, rest and eating equally. My body could feel good, even powerful.”
4. How did Johnston find the post at first?
A. Inspiring. B. Ordinary. C. Innovative. D. Unconvincing.

Intellectually humble people are able to recognize and admit to the limitations of their knowledge. They tend to be more open-minded, discerning, and respectful of others. This suggests that intellectual humility (谦卑) could be a virtue worth developing, especially in children. In fact, a new study discovered that they already do, from quite a young age.
In this study, a diverse group of over 100 four-to-eleven-year-old children were asked how they felt about a humble versus an over-confident adult figure. The children were presented with an ambiguous (模棱两可) object or word. Then, the children heard two adults answer questions regarding the object or word, including what it was, how sure they were about their identification, and if they were open to it possibly being something else. Each adult initially identified the object or word in the same way. But the humble person said they were “pretty sure” they were right but that the word or object could be something else, while the over-confident person said they were “definitely sure” they were right and it couldn’t be otherwise.
After viewing these interviews, the children rated whom they liked more and would rather learn from. By analyzing their responses, the researchers found that children aged five and a half years and older preferred humble people to over-confident people.
“This suggests that children as young as five and a half recognize the value of intellectual humility,” says researcher Shauna Bowes of Vanderbilt University.
Bowes’s finding suggests that children could benefit from adults modeling intellectual humility at younger ages. For example, elementary school teachers could express uncertainty in situations where the answer isn’t clear, nudging kids toward staying open and digging deeper into ambiguous topics. Similarly, parents could model humility with their young children, encouraging them to tackle complex problems.
Bowes hopes that when adults model intellectual humility, children learn that no one has all of the answers. “There is power in saying ‘I’m not entirely sure and my knowledge is fallible, and so is yours. But we can come together and talk’,” says Bowes. “I think the earlier kids learn to do this, the better.”
8 What is a difference between the two adult figures?
A. The kids viewing their interviews. B. The object or word they identified.
C. Their initial way to identify an object. D. Their attitude to their identification.
9. What might be concluded according to the new study?
A. Over-confidence gives rise to misunderstandings.
B. Young children prefer people acting with humility.
C. Humble people are bound to learn more from others.
D Children are fairly insensitive to intellectual humility.
10. What does the word “nudging” underlined in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Controlling. B. Following. C. Motivating. D. Judging.
11. What message does Bowes deliver in the last paragraph?
A. Discussion doesn’t always lead to certainty.
B. Hiding one’s ignorance helps maintain authority.
C. Knowledgeable people are eager to share resources.
D. It’s necessary to admit to one’s knowledge limitations.
D
In recent years, the sharp increase in global rocket launches has transformed the sky, fueled by the rapid growth of the space industry. This creates major opportunities but also raises environmental challenges. Pollutants released during rocket launches and re-entry are left in the middle atmosphere, where they can damage the ozone layer (臭氧层) which protects Earth against harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Investigations into how rocket emissions (排放) affect ozone began more than three decades ago, but for many years the impact was considered minimal. As the frequency of launches continues to rise, this view is shifting. In 2019, only 97 orbital launches were recorded worldwide, but by 2024, the figure had climbed to 258, with projections pointing to continued rapid growth.
Unlike ground-level pollutants, emissions from rockets and re-entering satellites can stay in the middle and upper atmosphere up to 100 times longer, since removal processes such as precipitation do not occur at those heights. While most launches take place in the Northern Hemisphere, the atmospheric flow eventually distributes the pollutants globally.
Recently, researchers from ETH Zurich and the Physical Meteorological Observatory in Davos, in cooperation with Laura Revell’s international team at the University of Canterbury, used a chemistry-climate model to see how future emissions might impact the ozone layer by 2030.
With 2,040 annual launches by 2030 — roughly eight times the 2024 total — the model predicts that global average ozone thickness would decrease by nearly 0.3%. Seasonal losses could reach as much as 4% over Antarctica, where the ozone hole continues to reappear each spring.
While these reductions may appear small, the context is critical. The ozone layer is still recovering from the earlier loss caused by long-lived chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were banned under the 1989 Montreal Protocol. Even today, global ozone thickness remains about 2% below pre-industrial levels, and the full recovery is not expected until around 2066.
But we believe a launch industry that avoids ozone-damaging effects is entirely possible: Monitoring rocket emissions and carrying out necessary and appropriate regulations are all key to ensuring that the ozone layer continues its recovery. This requires scientists, policymakers, and industry to work together.
12. What is the current view on rocket emissions?
A. Their impact will become severe. B. Their distribution is location-limited.
C. They will decrease at a faster speed. D. They can be removed by precipitation.
13. Why was the recent research on rocket emissions conducted?
A. To seek potential solutions. B. To look into their future effect.
C. To address climate change challenges. D. To figure out the leading contributors.
14. What is the function of paragraph 6?
A. To show protecting the ozone layer is possible.
B. To indicate the dark future of the space industry.
C. To argue that the model predictions are worrying.
D. To set standards for global average ozone thickness.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Global Rocket Launches Are Rocketing
B. Can the Ozone Layer Still Protect Earth?
C. Rockets Could Eat Away at the Ozone Layer
D. Can Ozone-damaging Effects Be Avoided?

47. 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。
As my husband Bill and I drove to what was supposed to be our romantic anniversary (周年纪念日) getaway — an early autumn overnighter at a peaceful shore destination, an unexpected storm hit.
The Maple with its Olympic-size pool and award-winning restaurant was a perfect destination. Located atop a hill overlooking an ocean, it was within walking distance of a nearby town. At the other end of the road was a lighthouse where sightseers could climb the winding staircase to the observation spot.
This trip promised to be fantastic — until the rain poured down. The more I prayed, the harder it rained. We had to find a shelter to wait for the rain to stop. When we managed to get to The Maple, it was late at night.
The door of the indoor pool was locked. And it wouldn’t be open the next day, for it needed upgrading that day. I felt tears in my eyes.
Bill comforted, “We can have dinner in the restaurant you like.” So, we walked to the hotel restaurant, but were greeted by a sign: Closed on Mondays.
“Oh, I just studied the introduction to its delicious food! I thought it was open all the time,” I said to Bill. “I’m so sorry.”
“Relax, honey,” Bill said, “There must be something open in the nearby town.”
Soon, Bill and I found an old-fashioned restaurant in the town. There, we enjoyed our dinner while recalling our happy memories. When we considered having some dessert, the flash of a sign caught my attention. “Homemade ice cream,” it read. “Thirty flavors.” We ran to the corner shop, ordered several flavors and ate the whole thing. We felt like carefree teenagers!
When we returned to The Maple, Bill said, “Well, things didn’t go as expected. But tomorrow morning we can still climb to the top of the lighthouse before we drive back home. I know how much you want to do that.”
The following morning, as we approached the lighthouse, we saw another sign: CLOSED FOR REPAIRS. The storm must have damaged the lighthouse!
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Look! The beach ahead is still open. We can go there,” I said to Bill cheerfully.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As we drove home, Bill said to me, “This trip certainly didn’t go as planned, did it?”
