Researchers tracked nearly 25,000 people and discovered that heat waves add years to your “biological age” — a measure of how old your body really is, regardless of your actual age. What is Biological Age? Your body’s age isn't just about how many birthdays you've had. Scientists can measure the health of your organs and systems to determine your biological age. This matters because people with older biological ages face higher risks of diseases like heart problems and diabetes. The Heat-Aging Connection The research team analyzed 15 years of health data and heat wave records. They found that for every extra 1.3°C of heat exposure, people's biological age increased by about one week. While this seems small, it adds up over time and across populations. Some groups were more affected than others. Outdoor workers and people in rural areas showed the most heat-related aging, likely because they have less access to air conditioning. However, there was some good news: the aging effect decreased over the study period, possibly because cooling technology became more widely available. Why It Matters This research shows that climate change affects our health in ways we can't always see. As heat waves become more common, understanding these hidden health impacts becomes increasingly important for protecting public health. 51. What did the study discover about extreme heat? A. It only affects older people. B. It makes people look older. C. It increases biological age. D. It has no long-term effects. 52. Which group was most affected by heat-related aging? A. Office workers. B. Students. C. Outdoor workers and rural residents. D. Elderly city residents. 53. How much did biological age increase per 1.3°C of extra heat exposure? A. About one week. B. About one month. C. About one year. D. About five years. 54. What positive trend did researchers notice over time? A. Heat waves became less frequent. B. The aging effect decreased. C. People exercised more. D. Air conditioning became less common. 55. Why is biological age important? A. It determines your birthday. B. It affects disease risk. C. It shows where you live. D. It measures intelligence. B Many years ago, my mother used to read Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey to me during cold winter nights. I remember it clearly, as if it were yesterday, listening to her voice beside me. That experience had a deep and lasting effect on me. Before I could read on my own, my mother introduced me to the beauty and power of language through this story about a girl and her mother spending time in nature with a mother bear and her cub. The combination of the interesting story, beautiful language, and my mother's presence created a special experience that happened many times. These read-aloud sessions played a key role in making me a reader. Years later, while reading a picture book to a young student in class, I saw how reading aloud could also impact others. The boy had faced many challenges in his life—growing up in poverty and often feeling lonely. However, during that shared reading moment, he felt such happiness that he came up with a meaningful idea. He said, “Mrs. Allyn, we should make sure everyone knows how wonderful this feels. Let's create a special day for reading aloud.” Inspired by his suggestion, my organization, LitWorld, established World Read Aloud Day in 2024 as a people-powered movement to make his wish come true—that everyone could experience the joy of being read to. Since then, World Read Aloud Day has become a global event that reaches over one million people in more than 65 countries. Today, it is celebrated in over 600 cities, and this number keeps growing. Children who develop reading habits become active and informed global citizens. Every child deserves the right to read. While saying that reading aloud can change the world might sound simple, that's actually what makes it so valuable. Sharing stories with children is straightforward, affordable, and easy to do, yet its impact can be enormous. 56. How did the author probably feel when her mother read Blueberries for Sal to her? A.

How LitWorld Changed the World of Reading C In 1970, the average woman in Mexico had about seven children. By 2025, that number had dropped to just 1.6, meaning the population is no longer replacing itself. This trend, often called a baby bust, is happening in most countries worldwide. By 2050, more than three-quarters of nations are expected to have shrinking populations. Several factors are driving this change. Greater access to education allows people, especially women, to make more choices about family planning. Many are pursuing careers and delaying marriage and children. In some countries, movements like South Korea’s “Three Nos” (no dating, marriage or children) reflect a rejection of traditional pressures. Financial concerns also play a big role. The high cost of housing and education makes raising children more expensive. Additionally, some people explain worries about political and environmental instability as reasons to have fewer children. A declining population can lead to challenges. With fewer young people working, it becomes harder to support a growing elderly population. This can strain healthcare and pension systems. Some countries also worry about having fewer innovators and a weaker economy. However, not all effects are negative. A slower population growth can reduce pressure on the environment. Some researchers suggest that instead of trying to reverse the trend completely, societies should focus on adapting to it—for example, by improving productivity and reforming social systems. While the global picture shows a decline, there are regional differences. Sub-Saharan Africa, for instance, continues to have high fertility rates(生育率) and is expected to account for more than half of the world's births by 2100. The key question isn't just about the number of babies, but whether people are able to have the number of children they actually want. When they can’t, it often points to broader social and economic issues that need to be addressed. 61. What is the main trend described in the article? A. People are having more children than before. B. Fertility rates are declining in most countries. C. Only wealthy countries are experiencing population growth. D. The global population is expected to double by 2050. 62. The word “strain” in Paragraph 4 most likely means _______. A. strengthen B. make more efficient C. put under pressure D. improve 63. What should we focus on instead of reversing the trend according to the passage? A. Providing more financial support to families. B. Encouraging people to have more children. C. Adapting to the trend such as improving productivity. D. Implementing stricter family planning policies. 64. Which region is expected to have more than half of the world's births by 2100? A. Sub-Saharan Africa B. North America C. East Asia D. Europe 65. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this passage? A. To argue that all countries should adopt policies to encourage more births. B. To compare the economic effects of high and low birth rates in different regions. C. To criticize modern lifestyles for reducing people’s desire to have children. D. To explain the reasons behind falling birth rates and how societies can respond to this trend. 第III卷 非选择题 （满分30分） 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Neil Green, an 82-year-old English man, was hardly able to walk because of the inflammation (炎症) in his right ankle. Problems began for Neil after he accidentally stepped into an unseen hole in a road surface while on holiday in Cyprus several years ago. Thankfully, he received an artificial ankle made from the materials of bulletproof vests. Neil, who is a retired printing specialist from West Yorkshire, paid for the operation himself since it is not currently available on the National Health Service (NHS). When he finally chose to have the operation, he said it was because he had just one strong desire: to walk hand-in-hand with Christine, his wife of 34 years. “Actually, I wasn’t expecting to run a marathon. I would like to walk down the Promenade de la Croisette in Cannes with my wife, but without the pain I had lived with for far too long,” Neil said. The operation uses a special material that is used to make bulletproof vests, but with extra added vitamin E. Since this kind of material is made from strong plastic fibers, it is expected to last much longer than current replacements. Before he was injured, Neil had always led an active lifestyle which involved running and cycling across the UK and Europe. After he stepped into the hole, which was several inches deep, he said he could not walk more than a few hundred yards as the pain in his ankle was so excruciating. Neil is now one of the first patients in the UK to have such an ankle replacement operation. After wearing a special walker boot for six weeks following his operation, Neil received a strict six-week treatment that adopts special exercises. He is now able to walks a couple of miles, and he uses a running machine in order to build his fitness levels even further. “The results of Neil's operation are impressive and there is at least an 80% to 90% chance that the ankle replacement will survive for 10 to 15 years,” said Professor Nick Harris, who performed the operation. 66.
