Boiling lobsters (while they are alive and conscious is a usual way of cooking. This will be banned by the government plan(41)(improve)animal welfare in England.Government ministers declare that "live boiling is not an acceptable killing method"and alternative guidance(42)(publish). The practice is already illegal in Switzerland,Norway and New Zealand.Animal welfare charities say that making lobsters unconscious before boiling them is(43) (cruel)compared with live boiling. A ban will build on a law introduced by the Conservatives in 2022,which (44)(state)that animals like crabs and lobsters felt pain as much as other animals. Ben Sturgeon,chief executive of charity organization Crustacean Compassion, welcomed the plans,saying:"Conscious animals are placed into boiling water,so they (45) endure several minutes of extreme pain,which can be completely avoidable.Alternatives are readily available." Other changes in a long-awaited Labour()strategy (46) (announce)on Monday include outlawing hen cages and ending puppy farming.Labour promised in its declaration to extend the 2005 foxhunting ban to trail hunting.Animal welfare charities say trail hunting is(47)serves as a"smokescreen"to carry on killing foxes.Nigel Farage,the leader of Reform UK,said the move was crazy,(48)(add)you might as well ban walking dogs in the countryside because they chase rabbits,hares,deer and foxes. Polling suggests that(49)some voters are doubtful,others overwhelmingly support tougher rules on hunting.According to findings from YouGov last year,29%of the party's voters thought that it was acceptable to hunt wild animals,compared with65% (50) thought it was not.Just 21%believed hunting with dogs should be allowed. Section C Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need. 4 A:arise R.characteristics C.deereases D.efficient E.established F.identifying G,pathways H.ranging I.recalled J.significant K.stability The brain goes through five distinct stages between birth and death,a new study shows.Scientists worked on this phenomenon,(51) the average ages 9,32,66 and 83,when the patterns of connections inside our brains shift.The brain's adolescence phase, they discovered,lasts until age 32,and then it enters a period of steadiness until early aging begins at 66.The study could help explain why brain-related conditions(52) at certain ages,and could provide a better road map to understanding healthy aging. The study's authors examined results from about 4,000 brain scans taken from people in the U.S.and U.K.,(53)from newborn babies to senior citizens.These helped show white matter,the fatty substance that isolates the nerve fibers connecting brain regions.Researchers could see the physical connections and build a map of (54)that change over time. They created an"average brain"for each year of life.Then they examined a dozen (55)and used a machine-learning algorithm )This could help spot moments of(56)change in the data. The scientists (57)that the brain's childhood period of development lasts from birth to age 9.During this time,it grows in size,but-because we are born with more connections than actually used-our brains cut off those that aren't used or as efficient. At age 9,our brains enter the adolescent phase,which the study authors said lasts until age 32.During this stage,the brain becomes more(58),and there is strong, rapid communication between regions as well as within them. Around age 32,the brain transitions into its adult stage,marked by relative (59) until mid-60s.This time matches the period when our intelligence and personality become steady,the researchers said,and the regions of the brain become more isolated. Early aging begins after the next turning point.Between 66 and 83,some brain regions form stronger groups,but they are less connected to other important parts.White matter starts to degrade.Past age 65 or so there're(60).in the structural quality of white matter.That phenomenon mirrors-for many of us,though not all-a slight decline in some aspects of cognitive function. III.Reading Comprehension Section A Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Mondays Really Are More Stressful For decades,"Monday blues"has been a widely recognized usage for the collective complaint that greets the start of each workweek.Mondays consistently see higher rates of anxiety.National-scale studies across entire countries have found a 19%increase in the risk of sudden heart disease on Mondays,a trend that affects men and women across all age groups. 高一英语期末考试卷513 5 What's more surprising is that Monday's impact extends far beyond(61) emotional ups and downs.Instead,Tarani Chandola,a chair professor of medical sociology recently discovered that people reporting anxiety on Mondays show evidence of heightened activity in the body's stress-response system for months.Remarkably,this ffect(62)retired older adults no longer in the workforce,suggesting Monday tress can become a lifelong burden. To uncover the(63),Chandola focused on cortisol(皮质醇)，a key stress iormone.While short-term cortisol release helps draw on energy and(64) focus cope with stressors (whether psychological,like a deadline,or physical,like a freezing norning),long-time high levels interrupts bodily systems,(65)immune function nd raising risks of anxiety,depression and obesity.

(A) In a London suburb in the 1980s,my Sunday evenings were always marked by the reality TV show Antigues Roadshow.Our home was filled with conflict and chaos,and collecting antiques was the only passion my parents shared-those seemingly harmless old items were their ticket to an imagined richer life.My dad loved fixing things: old telephones,electrical relics,and even an exciting machine that gave out Cadbury chocolate tablets for just two penee.New items kept arrving,promising to be restored to their former glory,but most never underwent that cherished transformation.Instead,they remained in corners,gathering dust,taking up spaee,and stifling the energy-of our home. Years later,I realized emotional clutter is much like that physical mess.In the final years of my marriage,a deep exhaustion overwhelmed me.When doctors found nothing physically wrong,I knew something deeper-unreleased emotions-needed to be addressed.After joining several meditation courses,I went on a windy retreat (in Glastonbury.As my friend and I climbed the Tor,the famous hill overlooking Somerset, it suddenly occurred to us that we could scream into the wind once we reached the top After letting out our cries,we collapsed into laughter.That thrilling moment felt like a shift within me. In the following year,I consciously acknowledged all the hurts-big and small- that I had swallowed during the marriage.Through mindfulness,journaling, psychotherapy,and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),I gradually released all my emotions.With each emotional release,I reconnected with my true self,and the energy that had been drained by emotional clutter slowly returned. Those emotions that once felt like ticking timebombs disrupting my peace are not unshakable.Just as clearing physical clutter requires patience and sorting,emotional decluttering demands allowance,observation,and integration.There's no need to force it on a specific date;only with readiness and self-compassion can we truly let emotions flow, unburden ourselves,and move forward with lightness. 76.Which detail about the author's childhood is true according to the passage? A.Antigues Roadshow broadcast every Saturday evening was impressive for the author. B.The author's parents lived a richer life because they kept collecting tamous antiques. C.Most of the old items collected by the author's father were not successfully restored. D.The author's father once bought a Cadbury chocolate tablet machine for two pence. 77.What can we infer from the author's experience in Glastonbury? A.The Tor is a quite popular tourist attraction for its beautiful scenery. B.Screaming into the wind was a planned activity for the meditation retreat. C.The author's emotional state began to change after releasing her feelings. D.The author went to Glastonbury alone to escape her unbappy marriage. 高一英语期末考试卷713 7 78.The underlined word"stifling"in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to A.enhancing B.preserving C.wasting D.blocking 79.What is the main idea of the passage? A.The influence of physical clutter on family relationships in childhood. B.The experience of overcoming emotional clutter through various ways. C.The significance of emotional decluttering and clearing physical mess D.The importance of choosing a proper time for emotional decluttering. (B) Humans aren't the only natural-born endurance runners out there.Here's a look at the animal kingdom's finest long-distance athletes. ESTIMATED MARATHON TIME (IH MINS) 150 4☐ 125 100 50 2 25 ●CAMEL Max speed:40mph Average speed for 20+miles:25mph Estimated marathon time:1hr 2mins A key part of running long distance is keeping water levels up.Camels can drink more than 110 litres at a time and their nostrils (are designed to absorb most of the moisture in the air they breathe out.Also,they lower their body temperature in the morning,which strengthens their ability to run in the hot sun. ●HORSE Max speed:54mph Average speed for 20+miles:10.5mph 高一英语期末考试卷8/13 8 Estimated marathon time:2.5hrs Through selective breeding,racehorses have a biological mechanism that maximizes blood efficiency.When they start to exercise,their spleen (kicks out a whole bunch of red blood cells into their cardiovascular(心血管的)system to increase the oxygen- carrying capacity of their blood SLED DOGS Max speed:collectively,they pull a sled at 25mph Average speed for 20+miles:15mph Estimated marathon time:Ihr 19mins Each year,during Alaska's Iditarod race,packs of 12 sled dogs travel more than 1,000 miles in 15 days.The animals pull the sled at speeds of around 15mph for up to six hours at a time.They are trained for distance and need to eat 10,000 calories a day during the event to'generate the energy to run. ●PRONGHORN ANTELOPE(又角羚羊) Max speed:60mph Average speed for 20+miles:30mph Estimated marathon time:45mins The cheetah ()the fastest animal on the planet,can only sustain its top speed of 70mph for 700m.Pronghorn antelopes,by contrast,can maintain speeds of 60mph for miles at a time.If the cheetah and pronghorn were running side by side,and if the track was longer than a quarter of a mle,the pronghorn would win it. 80.Which of the following best fits into the four boxes in order 1-4?

A.Horses can kick out a large number of red blood cells when they are at rest. B.Camels'ability to absorb water and lower body temperature helps them rm. C.Sled dogs are specially trained to generate energy te run as long as possible. D.Pronghorn antelope has the reputation as the animal with the fastest speed. 82.The passage is most likely extracted from A.Weekly News Review B.Financial Times C.Amateur Photographer D.Runners World (C) Cut your sugar,get some exercise,stop smoking,don't stress,sleep well.Every day, we are flooded with information about how to live longer,healthier,happier lives.But there is one piece of advice I bet you have never been given.It's probably the most enjoyable health tip you could be told,but a well-kept secret:engage in the arts. Over the past few decades,evidence has been accumulating to suggest that being more creative works wonders for our health.Programmes being developed around the world are starting to integrate the arts into healthcare,with astonishing results,from music in surgery in order to reducto dance programmes helping people with Parkinson's 高一 英语期末考试卷"913 9 disease to walk. But the arts aren't just there for us when we are sick.Crafts,singing,theatre,dance, reading,writing and drawing are inherently good for us as part of our day-to-day lives, even if thoughts about our health are far from our minds.In my forthcoming book,Art Cure,I argue that they are a"health behaviour"akin to exercise,diet and sleep.Here's why,and how,you should get more art into your life in 2026. I spend my days looking at data from studies,many of which contain buried questions on arts engagement.Using complex statistical methods,we can look at the long- term relationship between everyday arts engagement and dozeris of health outcomes. The results are remarkable.People who participate more frequently in the arts,watch artistic performances and visit cultural venues are happier and feel more satisfied with their lives over the years and decades that follow.Children who engage more with the arts have a reduced risk of developing problems like depression by the onset of adolescence.Among adults over the age of 50,those who regularly go to live music events, the theatre or museums and exhibitions have nearly half the risk of developing depression over the next few years. The benefits aren't just psychological either.Toddlers who engage in music activities have increased prosocial skills as they head into primary school.Adolescents who are involved in bands,dance and editing school newspapers are less likely to get involved in antisocial behaviours or crime.And older adults who go to cultural events have a 32 per cent lower likelihood of being lonely 10 years later. The results are particularly strong as we age.Looking at data from nearly 100,000 people across 16 different countries,we have found that having hobbies-things like gardening,baking and journalling-is related to higher self-reported health as we get older.Better balance,reduced pain levels,better sleep,longer preservation of cognition, even a reduced risk of certain diseases like diabetes-the benefits build up as we engage more. 83.What can we learn from paragraph I to paragraph 3? A.Engaging in the arts is currently the most practieal tip for you to keep healthy. B.Music in operations.serves as an efficient treatment tool for Parkinson's disease. C.Arts engagement is beneficial for ordinary people when they are healthy and active D.Integrating arts into healthcare can bring about better health outcomes than drugs- 84.The underlined phrase"akin to"(para.3)can be interpreted as A.fundamental to B.comparable to C.essential to D.contrary to 85.What can we infer from the data collected from 16 different countries? A.Hobbies like gardening and baking are the primary factors contributing to long-term health. B.The more frequently people engage in hobbies,the greater the benefits they tend to receive. C.Cognitive decline is unavoidable in old age despite regular participation in artistic activities. D.The study shows that art engagement is more beneficial for the elderly people than the young. 高一英语期末考试卷10/13 10
