Researchers think this feature helps bats take in and spread oxygen better in cold conditions— even Egyptian fruit bats have kept this ability from their hibernating ancestors, though they don’t hibernate now.(但相比细胞原本的硬度，只有蝙蝠的细胞会变得厚得多。研究人员认为，这种特性有助于蝙蝠在寒冷环境中更好地吸收和输送氧气——即使是不冬眠的埃及果蝠，也从其冬眠的祖先那里继承了这种能力。)”可知，埃及果蝠的红细胞依然保留了适应寒冷环境的能力。故选C项。 28．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“While space travel still has many difficulties, this bat research gives an exciting breakthrough to make long Mars trips healthier and more achievable.(尽管太空旅行仍面临诸多困难，但这项蝙蝠研究带来了令人振奋的突破，有望让漫长的火星之旅变得更健康、更可行。)”可知，随着后续研究的推进，长途火星旅行的健康保障有望得到提升。故选C项。 29．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇提出NASA火星计划面临的健康难题，引出冬眠设想，接着介绍德国团队对蝙蝠红细胞的研究及发现，最后说明该研究为人类太空冬眠提供了突破方向。所以最佳标题为“蝙蝠研究助力人类太空冬眠”。故选B项。 七选五 【答案】30．A 31．E 32．D 33．B 34．G

Hibernation (冬眠), once thought an unrealistic solution, is now getting more attention, and a new study on bats is making this science fiction-inspired idea more possible. Many mammals go into hibernation in winter, lowering their body temperature and slowing down how their bodies use energy to save strength. But humans can't do this safely. Our bodies can't store enough fat without harm, work well at low energy levels, or live through big drops in body temperature. To find the secret of hibernation, German animal scientist Gerald Kerth and his team studied red blood cells from three groups: hibernating noctule bats (绒山蝠), non-hibernating Egyptian fruit bats and humans. They tested the cells at three temperatures— human body temperature, room temperature, and the cold point where noctule bats start to hibernate. When it got colder, both bat and human cells became thicker and harder. But only bat cells grew much thicker compared to how hard they were. Researchers think this feature helps bats take in and spread oxygen better in cold conditions— even Egyptian fruit bats have kept this ability from their hibernating ancestors, though they don't hibernate now. Making human cells change like this could open the door to safe hibernation during space travel. Experts say the study is an important step, but many questions still exist— like how to make humans hibernate and if medicine can change our blood cells. While space travel still has many difficulties, this bat research gives an exciting breakthrough to make long Mars trips healthier and more achievable. 26．Which of the following is NOT the reason for humans' inability to go into hibernation safely? A．Because our bodies cannot work well at low energy levels. B．Because our bodies fail to store enough fat without harm. C．Because our bodies can't survive big drops in body temperature. D．Because our bodies can hardly use energy to save strength. 27．What can we infer about Egyptian fruit bats from the study? A．They can hibernate safely like noctule bats. B．Their red blood cells have lost the ancestral hibernation traits. C．Their red blood cells can still adapt to cold conditions well. D．They store more fat than other non- hibernating mammals. 28．What does the passage imply about the future of Mars travel? A．Hibernation will solve all problems of Mars travel. B．The bat study has made safe hibernation in space a reality. C．Long Mars trips may become healthier with further research. D．NASA will send astronauts to Mars without any difficulties by the 2030s. 29．What is the best title for the passage? A．NASA Is Planning to Send Astronauts to Mars for Hibernation B．New Bat Discovery May Aid Human Hibernation for Space Travel C．Hibernation Has Become a Reality Thanks to a New Study on Bats D．Studying Hibernation Is of Great Importance to the Human Race 七选五 How to Build Good Study Habits Developing good study habits is essential for academic success. It not only helps you learn more effectively but also reduces stress during exams. Here are some practical tips to get you started: 1. Set a fixed study schedule Our brains work best when we follow a routine. 30 For example, you could study math from 7:00 to 8:30 every evening and English in the morning. Stick to your schedule as much as possible, even on weekends. 2. Create a comfortable study space Find a quiet, well-lit area where you can focus without distractions. 31 Make sure your study space has all the supplies you need, such as books, notebooks, and stationery. Avoid studying in bed or on the couch, as these places are associated with relaxation. 3. Break tasks into smaller pieces Large assignments or study goals can feel overwhelming. 32 Instead of trying to finish an entire textbook chapter in one sitting, split it into sections and deal with one at a time. This will make your tasks more manageable and help you stay motivated. 4. Take regular breaks Studying for hours without stopping can lead to fatigue (疲劳) and reduced concentration. 33 During your break, stretch, drink water, or take a short walk — avoid using your phone or watching TV, as these activities can make it harder to get back to studying. 5. Review and reflect regularly Learning doesn’t end when you finish studying. 34 Review your notes within 24 hours of learning new materials, and reflect on what you’ve learned. This will help strengthen the information in your memory and identify areas where you need more practice. With continuous effort, these habits will become second nature and help you achieve your academic goals. A．This helps your brain get into “study mode” at the right time. B．It’s important to take short breaks every 45-60 minutes. C．Many students struggle with maintaining focus during study sessions. D．Breaking them down into smaller, specific tasks makes a big difference. E．A cluttered (杂乱的) environment can make it hard to concentrate. F．You should also ask your teachers for feedback on your progress. G．Regular review is key to a long-term memory of knowledge. 四、完形填空 Jade lives in Australia, a country famous for kangaroos, but not for snow. Yet at 12, she 35 to ski at the North Pole.

Chinese-American Kelly Wang Shanahan has created Ziran, a responsible clothing brand 52 (use) a special type of silk called xiang yun sha. The silk is dyed with the root of shuliang, a type of Chinese yam (薯) 53 is very rich in tannins (单宁酸). After the vegetable juice is applied, the silk is sun-dried before being covered with iron-rich mud 54 (collect) from the Pearl River. The combination of, iron and tannins 55 (create) a chemical reaction that changes the silk and turns it into xiang yun sha. Following this, the silk is hand- carried to the river and washed. Then, the entire process is repeated up to 30 times 56 (obtain) the desired colour. Each yard is one-of-a-kind, with skin-friendly 57 (soft) and excellent breathability. Shanahan discovered xiang yun sha while studying in college and instantly fell in love with both its 58 (nature) beauty and cultural significance. Shanahan says, “We believe 59 is our duty to honour and protect this tradition for the next generation. This is the Ziran Way.” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
