The Palisades Fire in Los Angeles burned Charlotte Tragos’s home to the ground. “It was a pretty special and unique house,” says Tragos, who escaped with her parents, her younger sister and their three dogs when the fire broke out on January 7, 2025.
A few days after the fire started, a friend shared a video with her of a Los Angeles artist offering to create, for free, watercolor paintings of people’s homes before they were burned down. Tragos reached out to the artist, Jordan Heber, asking if she could do Tragos’s childhood home. “I wanted to do it as a surprise to my parents, who are extremely busy right now,” she says. Tragos sent a photo to Heber, who completed a painting of Tragos’s home in just three days.
“Our homes are so much more than these physical, standing things that we keep our belongings in,” says Heber, who lives in Santa Monica. “It’s an incredible honor to create these lasting respects to the places that carried so much life and memory.” Tragos says she will forever be grateful to Heber. “It means the world,” she says. “We’re in a position where we have nothing, and anything like that, especially pieces that honor what the house meant to us — it is really inspiring.”
Behind this deeply comforting gift though, lies the heartfelt motivation (初衷,动力)that drove Heber to act when the wildfires struck. A friend sent her a post by another local artist offering to draw people’s homes at no charge, and Heber was inspired. “This will be my way to help people,” said Heber. Shortly after she posted her offer on social media, requests started coming in. Heber has created more than 25 paintings, including one for Jeremy Wineberg, whose home in Pacific Palisades was destroyed.
“We told her our story, and she so kindly and lovingly made such a beautiful memory that looks exactly as if it was a photograph,” says Wineberg. “We’re going to frame it and put it in our new home eventually.” Heber is glad that people find her paintings meaningful, saying, “Hopefully it inspires others to use their talents to help people.”
25. Which statement about Jordan Heber’s free painting service is TRUE?
A. She designed the service after seeing the special and unique house.
B. People asked her to paint the houses they moved into after the fire.
C. She has drawn over 25 house paintings since advertising her service online.
D. Her painting service was first offered to the people affected by the Palisades Fire.
26. What motivated Jordan Heber to provide free paintings for fire victims?
A. The urgent need from fire victims spread on social media.
B. The kind act of another local artist who offered free drawings.
C. The hope of making her painting skills better known to the public.
D. The extra time she had after the wildfires disturbed her daily work.
27. What kind of person is Jordan Heber according to the passage?
A. Generous and reliable. B. Modest and determined.
C. Talented and imaginative. D. Warm-hearted and artistic.
【答案】25. C 26. B 27. D

For a long time, plant tissues were thought to be incapable of remaking. When that was disproved in the early 1900s, researchers focused largely on roots, where many bacteria (细菌) are involved in soil-based food cycling. Whatever might be living within a plant’s shoots, trunks and leaves was mostly ignored.
For a recent study in Nature, researchers analyzed about 150 trees across 16 species to map their trunk microbial communities. They estimate (估计) a single mature tree hosts roughly one trillion bacteria in its “microbiome” (微生物组) with distinct communities in different layers. In other words, the trees have methane (甲烷)-producing bacteria which may release greenhouse gases. “It turned out what’s living inside the trees was really different from what we found anywhere else in the forest,” says the study’s co-lead author, Jonathan Gewirtzman, an ecosystem ecologist at Yale University.
To examine the trunk’s hidden community, Gewirtzman and his colleagues drilled into living tree trunks to collect thin core samples, which they immediately froze with dry ice to prevent microbial activity. They then separated the cores into side wood and heartwood, ground the frozen wood into powder and ordered the bacteria in each layer. To study the activity of living microbes, they also sealed holes drilled into trees and later measured gases such as methane released by different layers.
The researchers learned that when trees are evolutionarily close, they tend to have similar microbiomes. And the team found a surprise deep inside the trunks: “In the older and inner heartwood,” Gewirtzman says, “we saw microbes more like what you’d find in a wetland — anaerobic bacteria and methane producers,” species suited to a waterlogged and oxygen-poor environment.
Some bacteria in the outer layers may consume part of that methane, the researchers found, but the study suggests that methane-producing bacteria inside trees could still create greenhouse gas emissions (排放) scientists should figure into calculations.
“It is a really nice study, as they did something different from most: comparing the inner wood against the outer wood. By studying these natural plant-microbe partnerships, we can understand which bacteria are important and active to add back into our agricultural system,” a plant microbiologist says.
28. What can we learn about the long-standing view regarding plant tissues?
A. It claimed that plant tissues could not regrow.
B. It was disproved by research on soil food cycling.
C. It stressed the role of bacteria in plant shoots and leaves.
D. It was fully supported by studies on plant roots in the 1900s.
29. What does the Nature study reveal about the bacterial communities in tree trunks?
A. Bacteria in different tree species share same characteristics.
B. Bacterial communities in tree trunks are identical to those in roots.
C. The number of bacteria in a tree’s microbiome is fixed at one trillion.
D. Certain bacteria within tree trunks could contribute to greenhouse gases.
30. What is the primary focus of the researchers’ work in paragraph 3?
A. Comparing the gas-releasing abilities of different tree species.
B. Developing effective ways to preserve tree trunk core samples.
C. Exploring tree trunk microbes by various experimental methods.
D. Analyzing the relationship between tree age and microbial variety.
31. What is the significance of the study on tree trunk microbes?
A. It helps understand key bacteria for agricultural system improvement.
B. It updates the long-standing view that plant tissues are extremely active.
C. It finds a way to clear away methane-producing bacteria in tree trunks.
D. It proves that tree roots are less important than trunks for food cycling.

Doctors struggle to predict who will have a heart attack. Could AI help? Now many companies are applying AI algorithms to screen millions of CT scans for early signs of heart disease. This technology could be a breakthrough for public health, but it remains unproven broadly while raising tricky questions about application and even how we define disease.
Coronary artery calcium (CAC), a marker for heart attack risk, and testing for CAC remains an underused method of predicting heart attack risk. CAC scans were believed to have a big benefit and were marketed to the worried well. Attitudes, though, may be shifting. More expert groups are supporting CAC scores as a way to improve heart attack risk estimates and persuade doubtful patients to start taking a specific type of pill The promise of AI-derived CAC scores is part of a broader trend toward mining treasures of medical data to spot otherwise undetected disease. But while it seems promising, the practice raises plenty of questions. For example, CAC scores haven’t proved useful as an effective instrument for universal screening. A 2022 Danish study evaluating a population-based program, for example, showed no benefit in death rates for patients who had experienced CAC screening tests.
If AI delivered this information automatically, would the calculation really change? And with widespread adoption, abnormal CAC scores will become common. Who follows up on these findings? “Many health systems aren’t yet set up to act on incidental risk findings at scale,” says Nishith Khandwala, the cofounder of Bunkerville Health. “Without a standard procedure for doing so”, he says, “you risk creating more work than value.” There’s also the question of whether these AI-created scores would actually improve patient care. For patients with symptoms, a CAC score of zero may offer a false sense of security. For asymptomatic patients with a high CAC score, the next steps remain uncertain. In both cases, the normal pattern of diagnosis (诊断) — in which doctors and patients purposely test to figure out what’s causing a specific problem — was completely disturbed.
But, as Adam Rodman, who pays special attention to the problems in the application of AI in disease diagnosis, notes that incident diseases were still found by humans reviewing the scans. Now, he says, “we are entering an era of ‘machine-based disease classification’, where algorithms define diseases on their own terms.” As machines make more diagnoses, they may catch things we miss. However, holding the pen as they switch between patients and algorithmic outputs — doctors still matter.
32. What can we learn about AI-created CAC scores?
A. They can replace doctors in the process of heart disease diagnosis.
B. They may bring new challenges to the traditional pattern of medical diagnosis.
C. They have already been fully used in the existing health systems worldwide.
D. They have been widely proven to reduce the death rate of heart disease patients.
33. How does the author develop the passage?
A. By giving global official data and trends.
B. By presenting problems and expert opinions.
C. By listing benefits and methods of AI-CAC scores.
D. By comparing AI screening with traditional methods.
34. What is the author’s attitude toward AI-based CAC scores in heart disease screening?
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Cautious. D. Doubtful.
【答案】32 B 33. B 34. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了人工智能在心脏疾病筛查中的应用,尤其是通过AI算法生成冠状动脉钙化(CAC)评分的潜力与面临的问题,同时分析了其对传统医疗诊断模式的挑战。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In both cases, the normal pattern of diagnosis — in which doctors and patients purposely test to figure out what’s causing a specific problem — was completely disturbed.(在这两种情况下,医生和患者通过针对性检查来明确病因的常规诊断模式都被彻底打乱了。) ”可知,AI生成的CAC评分可能给传统医疗诊断模式带来新的挑战。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But while it seems promising, the practice raises plenty of questions. For example, CAC scores haven’t proved useful as an effective instrument for universal screening.(但尽管前景广阔,这一做法也引发了诸多问题。例如,CAC评分尚未被证明是全人群筛查的有效工具。)”、第三段“‘Many health systems aren’t yet set up to act on incidental risk findings at scale,’ says Nishith Khandwala, the cofounder of Bunkerville Health.(‘许多卫生系统尚未准备好大规模应对偶然发现的风险。’Bunkerville Health公司的联合创始人Nishith Khandwala说道。)”以及第四段“But, as Adam Rodman, who pays special attention to the problems in the application of AI in disease diagnosis, notes that incident diseases were still found by humans reviewing the scans.(但正如专门关注人工智能在疾病诊断应用中存在的问题的Adam Rodman所指出的,偶然发现的疾病仍然需要依靠人工复查影像才能确认。)” 可知,作者通过提出问题并引用专家观点来推进论述。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“This technology could be a breakthrough for public health, but it remains unproven broadly while raising tricky questions about application and even how we define disease.(这项技术或许能成为公共卫生领域的一项突破,但它尚未得到广泛验证,同时还引发了关于应用方式,甚至我们如何定义疾病的棘手问题。)”以及第四段“However, holding the pen as they switch between patients and algorithmic outputs — doctors still matter.(然而,在患者与算法结果之间进行决策时,最终的决定权仍在医生手中——医生依然至关重要。)”可知,作者既肯定了AI的潜力,也客观分析了其问题,整体态度是谨慎的。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In recent years, scientists have uncovered a fascinating truth: our muscles possess a distinct memory for movement and exercise. We’ve all observed that consistent physical exercise builds bigger, stronger muscles — but the science behind this process is far more complex than meets the eye.
____35____ However, few know the biological process behind this muscle recovery rule. As leading muscle scientist Adam Sharples explains, human skeletal muscle cells are unique. Long, thin fibers with multiple cores, they grow via stress/ injury-activated satellite cells donating components to boost muscle growth and recovery.
Crucially, these core parts persist in muscle fibers despite long inactivity, aiding muscle growth resumption as a biological advantage. Sharples’ lab made history in 2018 by proving human skeletal muscle retains exercise-induced growth memory, enabling rapid responses to later workouts even after long breaks. In other words, your muscles remember how to grow. ____36____
Sharples also points out convincing new evidence that muscles store memories of tissue loss, with clear differences between younger and older muscle tissue. Young muscle shows what he calls a “positive” tissue loss memory: after an initial period of wasting away, it recovers strongly and avoids greater loss during later tissue loss periods. ____37____ This negative memory makes older muscle more vulnerable to severe tissue loss and causes an extreme cell reaction during recovery.
This pattern reveals a key balance: “negative” muscle memories can reduce the benefits of “positive” ones ____38____. It also shows why long periods of inactivity can be more harmful for older adults.
____39____ The more regularly we exercise and challenge them, the better they can make good use of this natural ability to become a lasting, beneficial part of our bodies long into the future.
A. On the other hand, older muscle has a more obvious “negative” memory.
B. The main result is clear: muscles have their own form of intelligence.
C. Even a short break from exercise will erase the progress you’ve made in building muscle.
D. This discovery hasn’t changed traditional views of how muscles adapt to physical activity over time.
E. In short, Sharples’ research shows muscles keep an exercise memory to help grow faster after breaks.
F. This balance between different types of muscle memories has important effects for fitness and aging.
G Many people have experienced the fact of regaining muscle faster after a break from working out.
【答案】35. G 36. E 37. A 38. F 39. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家的研究发现:人体肌肉拥有运动和锻炼的独特记忆,骨骼肌会保留运动带来的生长记忆,且肌肉还会储存组织流失的记忆,年轻人与老年人的肌肉组织在这方面存在显著差异,不同的肌肉记忆间存在平衡关系,规律锻炼能让肌肉更好地发挥这种记忆能力。
【35题详解】
上文“In recent years, scientists have uncovered a fascinating truth: our muscles possess a distinct memory for movement and exercise. We’ve all observed that consistent physical exercise builds bigger, stronger muscles — but the science behind this process is far more complex than meets the eye. (近年来,科学家们发现了一个有趣的事实:我们的肌肉拥有对运动和锻炼的独特记忆。我们都能看到规律的体育锻炼能练就更粗壮、更强健的肌肉,但这个过程背后的科学原理远比表面看起来复杂。)”点明了肌肉拥有运动记忆这一核心,同时暗示其背后有复杂的科学原理;下文“However, few know the biological process behind this muscle recovery rule. (然而,很少有人知道这一肌肉恢复规律背后的生物过程。)”中出现指代词“this muscle recovery rule”,说明前文需提及一种大众熟知的肌肉恢复相关现象。选项G“很多人都有过停止锻炼后恢复肌肉速度更快的经历”,恰好对应下文“this muscle recovery rule”所指代的内容,承接上文肌肉有运动记忆的话题,同时通过后文的转折自然引出对该规律背后生物过程的解析,逻辑衔接紧密。故选G。
【36题详解】
上文“Crucially, these core parts persist in muscle fibers despite long inactivity, aiding muscle growth resumption as a biological advantage. Sharples’ lab made history in 2018 by proving human skeletal muscle retains exercise-induced growth memory, enabling rapid responses to later workouts even after long breaks. In other words, your muscles remember how to grow. (关键的是,即便长期不活动,这些核心部分仍会留存于肌纤维中,作为一种生物优势助力肌肉恢复生长。夏普尔斯的实验室在2018年取得了具有开创性的成果,证实人体骨骼肌会保留由运动诱导的生长记忆,即便长时间中断锻炼,后续再次锻炼时也能快速做出反应。换句话说,你的肌肉记得该如何生长。)”详细阐述了夏普尔斯关于肌肉生长记忆的核心研究成果,明确了肌肉会保留运动诱导的生长记忆这一结论。选项E“简而言之,夏普尔斯的研究表明肌肉会保留运动记忆,以在中断锻炼后更快地生长”,精准总结了上文的研究核心,既呼应了肌肉生长记忆的关键信息,又能顺畅过渡到下文关于肌肉组织流失记忆的新研究,衔接自然且贴合主旨。故选E。
【37题详解】
上文“Sharples also points out convincing new evidence that muscles store memories of tissue loss, with clear differences between younger and older muscle tissue. Young muscle shows what he calls a “positive” tissue loss memory: after an initial period of wasting away, it recovers strongly and avoids greater loss during later tissue loss periods.(夏普尔斯还指出了确凿的新证据,表明肌肉会储存组织流失的记忆,且年轻和年老的肌肉组织在这方面存在明显差异。年轻的肌肉会表现出他所说的“积极的”组织流失记忆:在经历最初的萎缩阶段后,它会快速恢复,并且在后续的组织流失阶段能避免更大的损耗。)”明确了肌肉会储存组织流失的记忆,且不同年龄段肌肉的这种记忆存在差异,还具体介绍了年轻肌肉的“积极”组织流失记忆。选项A“另一方面,老年肌肉则有着更明显的‘消极’记忆”,以“另一方面”形成鲜明对比,既呼应了上文不同年龄段肌肉记忆有差异的表述,又引出老年肌肉的记忆特点,同时成为后文“this negative memory”所指代的内容,为下文介绍消极记忆的负面影响做好铺垫,贴合语境。故选A。
【38题详解】
上文“This pattern reveals a key balance: “negative” muscle memories can reduce the benefits of “positive” ones. (这种模式揭示了一种关键的平衡关系:“消极的”肌肉记忆会削弱“积极的”肌肉记忆所带来的益处。)”点明了“消极”与“积极”肌肉记忆之间存在关键的平衡关系。下文“It also shows why long periods of inactivity can be more harmful for older adults. (这也解释了为何长时间不活动对老年人的危害更大。)”中“It”指代前文提及的平衡关系,且通过“also”引出该平衡关系的具体影响。选项F“不同类型肌肉记忆之间的这种平衡对健身和衰老有着重要的影响”,既承接上文的平衡关系这一核心话题,又明确了该平衡关系的重要意义,恰好对应下文“it”的指代内容,同时通过“also”自然衔接后文对老年人的具体影响,逻辑连贯。故选F。
【39题详解】
上文第四空“This balance between different types of muscle memories has important effects for fitness and aging. It also shows why long periods of inactivity can be more harmful for older adults. (不同类型肌肉记忆之间这种平衡关系对健身和衰老有着重要影响,这也解释了为何长时间不活动对老年人的危害更大。)”总结了肌肉记忆平衡关系的影响,下文“The more regularly we exercise and challenge them, the better they can make good use of this natural ability to become a lasting, beneficial part of our bodies long into the future. (我们越规律地锻炼和挑战肌肉,肌肉就越能更好地利用这种天生的能力,在未来很长一段时间里成为我们身体中持久且有益的一部分。)”中“this natural ability”指代肌肉的天生能力,且强调规律锻炼的重要性。选项B“核心结论很明确:肌肉拥有属于自己的智慧形式”,既对前文肌肉记忆的相关研究做出总结,又点明肌肉的天生能力(即肌肉记忆)就是其“自身的智慧形式”,对应下文“this natural ability”的指代内容,同时引出后文关于规律锻炼的建议,升华文章主旨。故选B。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题,第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
You don’t have to give up sugar or run a marathon to see real changes in your health and happiness. Instead, science supports a “start small” way. Small actions, done regularly, are what create long-lasting changes.
The secret? It’s not willpower. It’s not even goals. The best way to turn a small change into a powerful habit is not to focus on your motivation, your reasons for doing it, or your long-term goals.
Wait, what? Isn’t motivation the whole point of New Year’s resolutions? Aren’t goals supposed to fuel us?
That is what everyone thinks, but research has shown that making small changes to the environment, the situation in which you perform the behavior, is far more powerful. Goals aren’t bad; they certainly have a purpose, but “motivation” only lasts for so long. Habits need to be two things to stick: easy and enjoyable.
For example, do you think your goal of getting back into the same size jeans you wore in high school will inspire you to hit the gym every day? Probably not. What will, then? Choosing a gym that’s close to your house, ideally less than 5 miles, was the strongest factor for predicting gym attendance in our research. Even better if you are doing an activity, you really enjoy or meeting a good friend there.
The best part: Once these tiny changes take root, they add up — better sleep, stronger muscles, calmer moods and a sharper mind.
Just as compound interest grows wealth over time, small, consistent habits can lead to great health improvements. Start now by choosing one or two of these small habits that suit you. Once you feel confident with these, add similar habits for even greater benefits.
Instead of trying to change everything or forcing yourself to do something you hate, focus on two questions: How can I make it easy to do? And how can I make it enjoyable? That’s how you change your life, one small change at a time.
40. What can create long-lasting changes?
____________________________________________________________________________
41. What kind of habits are easy to stick to?
____________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
In our research, choosing a gym far from home was the most important factor in ensuring gym attendance.
____________________________________________________________________________
43. Besides the examples given in the text, what a small, regular habit do you have to improve your health or daily life? And explain why it works for you.(In about 40 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Small actions, done regularly.
41. Habits that are easy and enjoyable.
42. In our research, choosing a gym far from home was the most important factor in ensuring gym attendance.
According to the fifth paragraph of the text, “Choosing a gym that’s close to your house, ideally less than 5 miles, was the strongest factor for predicting gym attendance in our research.”
43. I drink a glass of warm water every morning. It’s easy to do and helps me stay hydrated, which boosts my metabolism and keeps my skin healthy.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“从小处着手”的健康生活方式。文章指出,持续的微小行动而非动力或目标,才是创造持久改变的关键,并提出让习惯变得“简单且愉悦”是坚持下去的核心方法。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“Small actions, done regularly, are what create long-lasting changes.(定期进行的微小行动,才是创造持久改变的关键。)”可知,定期进行的微小行动能创造持久的改变。故填Small actions, done regularly.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段“Habits need to be two things to stick: easy and enjoyable.(习惯要想坚持下去,需要具备两个特点:简单且愉悦。)” 可知,容易坚持的习惯是“简单且愉悦的”。故填Habits that are easy and enjoyable.
【42题详解】
考查细节判断。根据第五段“Choosing a gym that’s close to your house, ideally less than 5 miles, was the strongest factor for predicting gym attendance in our research.(在我们的研究中,选择离家近的健身房,最好不到5英里,是预测健身出勤率的最关键因素。)”可知,研究中“离家近的健身房”才是预测健身出勤率的关键,因此“far from home”表述错误。故填In our research, choosing a gym far from home was the most important factor in ensuring gym attendance. According to the fifth paragraph of the text, “Choosing a gym that’s close to your house, ideally less than 5 miles, was the strongest factor for predicting gym attendance in our research.”
【43题详解】
开放问题。根据第一段“Small actions, done regularly, are what create long-lasting changes.(定期进行的微小行动,才是创造持久改变的关键。)”、第四段“Habits need to be two things to stick: easy and enjoyable.(习惯要想坚持下去,需要具备两个特点:简单且愉悦。)”以及第六段“Just as compound interest grows wealth over time, small, consistent habits can lead to great health improvements.(就像复利会随着时间积累财富一样,微小且持续的习惯也能带来显著的健康改善。)”可知,围绕“small, regular habit(微小且规律的习惯)”这一核心要求,是贴合原文的。故填I drink a glass of warm water every morning. It’s easy to do and helps me stay hydrated, which boosts my metabolism and keeps my skin healthy.

The Palisades Fire in Los Angeles burned Charlotte Tragos’s home to the ground. “It was a pretty special and unique house,” says Tragos, who escaped with her parents, her younger sister and their three dogs when the fire broke out on January 7, 2025.
A few days after the fire started, a friend shared a video with her of a Los Angeles artist offering to create, for free, watercolor paintings of people’s homes before they were burned down. Tragos reached out to the artist, Jordan Heber, asking if she could do Tragos’s childhood home. “I wanted to do it as a surprise to my parents, who are extremely busy right now,” she says. Tragos sent a photo to Heber, who completed a painting of Tragos’s home in just three days.
“Our homes are so much more than these physical, standing things that we keep our belongings in,” says Heber, who lives in Santa Monica. “It’s an incredible honor to create these lasting respects to the places that carried so much life and memory.” Tragos says she will forever be grateful to Heber. “It means the world,” she says. “We’re in a position where we have nothing, and anything like that, especially pieces that honor what the house meant to us — it is really inspiring.”
Behind this deeply comforting gift, though, lies the heartfelt motivation (初衷,动力)that drove Heber to act when the wildfires struck. A friend sent her a post by another local artist offering to draw people’s homes at no charge, and Heber was inspired. “This will be my way to help people,” said Heber. Shortly after she posted her offer on social media, requests started coming in. Heber has created more than 25 paintings, including one for Jeremy Wineberg, whose home in Pacific Palisades was destroyed.
“We told her our story, and she so kindly and lovingly made such a beautiful memory that looks exactly as if it was a photograph,” says Wineberg. “We’re going to frame it and put it in our new home eventually.” Heber is glad that people find her paintings meaningful, saying, “Hopefully it inspires others to use their talents to help people.”
25. Which statement about Jordan Heber’s free painting service is TRUE?
A. She designed the service after seeing the special and unique house.
B. People asked her to paint the houses they moved into after the fire.
C. She has drawn over 25 house paintings since advertising her service online.
D. Her painting service was first offered to the people affected by the Palisades Fire.
26. What motivated Jordan Heber to provide free paintings for fire victims?
A. The urgent need from fire victims spread on social media.
B. The kind act of another local artist who offered free drawings.
C. The hope of making her painting skills better known to the public.
D. The extra time she had after the wildfires disturbed her daily work.
27. What kind of person is Jordan Heber according to the passage?
A. Generous and reliable. B. Modest and determined.
C. Talented and imaginative. D. Warm-hearted and artistic.
C
For a long time, plant tissues were thought to be incapable of remaking. When that was disproved in the early 1900s, researchers focused largely on roots, where many bacteria (细菌) are involved in soil-based food cycling. Whatever might be living within a plant’s shoots, trunks and leaves was mostly ignored.
For a recent study in Nature, researchers analyzed about 150 trees across 16 species to map their trunk microbial communities. They estimate (估计) a single mature tree hosts roughly one trillion bacteria in its “microbiome” (微生物组) with distinct communities in different layers. In other words, the trees have methane (甲烷)-producing bacteria which may release greenhouse gases. “It turned out what’s living inside the trees was really different from what we found anywhere else in the forest,” says the study’s co-lead author, Jonathan Gewirtzman, an ecosystem ecologist at Yale University.
To examine the trunk’s hidden community, Gewirtzman and his colleagues drilled into living tree trunks to collect thin core samples, which they immediately froze with dry ice to prevent microbial activity. They then separated the cores into side wood and heartwood, ground the frozen wood into powder and ordered the bacteria in each layer. To study the activity of living microbes, they also sealed holes drilled into trees and later measured gases such as methane released by different layers.
The researchers learned that when trees are evolutionarily close, they tend to have similar microbiomes. And the team found a surprise deep inside the trunks: “In the older and inner heartwood,” Gewirtzman says, “we saw microbes more like what you’d find in a wetland — anaerobic bacteria and methane producers,” species suited to a waterlogged and oxygen-poor environment.
Some bacteria in the outer layers may consume part of that methane, the researchers found, but the study suggests that methane-producing bacteria inside trees could still create greenhouse gas emissions (排放) scientists should figure into calculations.
“It is a really nice study, as they did something different from most: comparing the inner wood against the outer wood. By studying these natural plant-microbe partnerships, we can understand which bacteria are important and active to add back into our agricultural system,” a plant microbiologist says.

Doctors struggle to predict who will have a heart attack. Could AI help? Now many companies are applying AI algorithms to screen millions of CT scans for early signs of heart disease. This technology could be a breakthrough for public health, but it remains unproven broadly while raising tricky questions about application and even how we define disease.
Coronary artery calcium (CAC), a marker for heart attack risk, and testing for CAC remains an underused method of predicting heart attack risk. CAC scans were believed to have a big benefit and were marketed to the worried well. Attitudes, though, may be shifting. More expert groups are supporting CAC scores as a way to improve heart attack risk estimates and persuade doubtful patients to start taking a specific type of pill The promise of AI-derived CAC scores is part of a broader trend toward mining treasures of medical data to spot otherwise undetected disease. But while it seems promising, the practice raises plenty of questions. For example, CAC scores haven’t proved useful as an effective instrument for universal screening. A 2022 Danish study evaluating a population-based program, for example, showed no benefit in death rates for patients who had experienced CAC screening tests.
If AI delivered this information automatically, would the calculation really change? And with widespread adoption, abnormal CAC scores will become common. Who follows up on these findings? “Many health systems aren’t yet set up to act on incidental risk findings at scale,” says Nishith Khandwala, the cofounder of Bunkerville Health. “Without a standard procedure for doing so”, he says, “you risk creating more work than value.” There’s also the question of whether these AI-created scores would actually improve patient care. For patients with symptoms, a CAC score of zero may offer a false sense of security. For asymptomatic patients with a high CAC score, the next steps remain uncertain. In both cases, the normal pattern of diagnosis (诊断) — in which doctors and patients purposely test to figure out what’s causing a specific problem — was completely disturbed.
But, as Adam Rodman, who pays special attention to the problems in the application of AI in disease diagnosis, notes that incident diseases were still found by humans reviewing the scans. Now, he says, “we are entering an era of ‘machine-based disease classification’, where algorithms define diseases on their own terms.” As machines make more diagnoses, they may catch things we miss. However, holding the pen as they switch between patients and algorithmic outputs — doctors still matter.
32. What can we learn about AI-created CAC scores?
A. They can replace doctors in the process of heart disease diagnosis.
B. They may bring new challenges to the traditional pattern of medical diagnosis.
C. They have already been fully used in the existing health systems worldwide.
D. They have been widely proven to reduce the death rate of heart disease patients.
33. How does the author develop the passage?
A. By giving global official data and trends.
B. By presenting problems and expert opinions.
C. By listing benefits and methods of AI-CAC scores.
D. By comparing AI screening with traditional methods.
34. What is the author’s attitude toward AI-based CAC scores in heart disease screening?
A Supportive. B. Critical. C. Cautious. D. Doubtful.

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In recent years, scientists have uncovered a fascinating truth: our muscles possess a distinct memory for movement and exercise. We’ve all observed that consistent physical exercise builds bigger, stronger muscles — but the science behind this process is far more complex than meets the eye.
____35____ However, few know the biological process behind this muscle recovery rule. As leading muscle scientist Adam Sharples explains, human skeletal muscle cells are unique. Long, thin fibers with multiple cores, they grow via stress/ injury-activated satellite cells donating components to boost muscle growth and recovery.
Crucially, these core parts persist in muscle fibers despite long inactivity, aiding muscle growth resumption as a biological advantage. Sharples’ lab made history in 2018 by proving human skeletal muscle retains exercise-induced growth memory, enabling rapid responses to later workouts even after long breaks. In other words, your muscles remember how to grow. ____36____
Sharples also points out convincing new evidence that muscles store memories of tissue loss, with clear differences between younger and older muscle tissue. Young muscle shows what he calls a “positive” tissue loss memory: after an initial period of wasting away, it recovers strongly and avoids greater loss during later tissue loss periods. ____37____ This negative memory makes older muscle more vulnerable to severe tissue loss and causes an extreme cell reaction during recovery.
This pattern reveals a key balance: “negative” muscle memories can reduce the benefits of “positive” ones. ____38____. It also shows why long periods of inactivity can be more harmful for older adults.
____39____ The more regularly we exercise and challenge them, the better they can make good use of this natural ability to become a lasting, beneficial part of our bodies long into the future.
A. On the other hand, older muscle has a more obvious “negative” memory.
B. The main result is clear: muscles have their own form of intelligence.
C. Even a short break from exercise will erase the progress you’ve made in building muscle.
D. This discovery hasn’t changed traditional views of how muscles adapt to physical activity over time.
E. In short Sharples’ research shows muscles keep an exercise memory to help grow faster after breaks.
F. This balance between different types of muscle memories has important effects for fitness and aging.
G. Many people have experienced the fact of regaining muscle faster after a break from working out.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
You don’t have to give up sugar or run a marathon to see real changes in your health and happiness. Instead, science supports a “start small” way. Small actions, done regularly, are what create long-lasting changes.
The secret? It’s not willpower. It’s not even goals. The best way to turn a small change into a powerful habit is not to focus on your motivation, your reasons for doing it, or your long-term goals.
Wait, what? Isn’t motivation the whole point of New Year’s resolutions? Aren’t goals supposed to fuel us?
That is what everyone thinks, but research has shown that making small changes to the environment, the situation in which you perform the behavior, is far more powerful. Goals aren’t bad; they certainly have a purpose, but “motivation” only lasts for so long. Habits need to be two things to stick: easy and enjoyable.
For example, do you think your goal of getting back into the same size jeans you wore in high school will inspire you to hit the gym every day? Probably not. What will, then? Choosing a gym that’s close to your house, ideally less than 5 miles, was the strongest factor for predicting gym attendance in our research. Even better if you are doing an activity, you really enjoy or meeting a good friend there.
The best part: Once these tiny changes take root, they add up — better sleep, stronger muscles, calmer moods and a sharper mind.
Just as compound interest grows wealth over time, small, consistent habits can lead to great health improvements. Start now by choosing one or two of these small habits that suit you. Once you feel confident with these, add similar habits for even greater benefits.
Instead of trying to change everything or forcing yourself to do something you hate, focus on two questions: How can I make it easy to do? And how can I make it enjoyable? That’s how you change your life, one small change at a time.
40. What can create long-lasting changes?
____________________________________________________________________________
41. What kind of habits are easy to stick to?
