But why do they do IT? Sometimes IT might seem like cats scratch furniture simply to get under our skin. But according to experts, there's a pretty straight forward reason for IT. Cats tend to scratch the nicest and most noticeable pieces of furniture in the room as a warning to other animals, that is, their territory. Think of IT like a cat marking their favourite place to sit so that no one else would dare to come close. But it's actually not just the scratches that a cat is leaving behind. They also have sent clans in their pause and leave a distinct older that cats, dogs and other animals can smell to let them know which cat owns the place. So that's the main reason that cats love to tear up the place, but it's not the only one. They also do IT to help them file down their claws or even pull them off so that a fresh one can grow. They also use their scratching time as a chance to stretch out their back muscles so they can stay nice and loose for all that in about. If you live with a cat who loves to hear the couch to shed, there is something you can do to try and stop them, buy a scratch post for your cat to tear apart. Instead, that way the cat can markets territory. And that brand new coach can still look nice. Now listen again, please. Even the most obsessive fan of cats in the world can agree it's super annoying when they scratch up your staff with their claws. But why do they do IT? Sometimes IT might seem like cats scratch furniture simply to get under our skin, but according to experts, there's a pretty straight forward reason for IT. Cats tend to scratch the nicest and most noticeable pieces of furniture in the room as a warning to other animals, that is, their territory. Think of IT like a cat marking their favourite place to sit so that no one else would dare to come close. But it's actually not just the scratches that a cat is leaving behind. They also have sent plans in their pause and leave a distinct older that cats, dogs and other animals can smell to let them know which cat owns the place. So that's the main reason . that cats love to tear up the place, but it's not the only one. They also do IT to help them file down their claws or even pull them off so that a fresh one can grow. They also use their scratching time as a chance to stretch out their back muscles so they can stay nice and loose. For all that scary about, if you live with a cat who loves to hear the couch to shed, there is something you can do to try and stop them, buy a scratch post for your cat to tear apart instead, that way the cat can markets territory, and that brand new couch can still look nice. Questions eleven, why do cats tend to scratch the nicest and most noticeable furniture? Twelve. what is the function of the center gLance in cats pause? Thirteen. why do cats sometimes pull off their claws while scratching according to the passage? Questions fourteen through sixteen are based on the following passage. Take your height and meters square IT, then divided by your weight in kilograms. That's how you calculate your body mass index, or B, M, I. If it's between fifteen and twenty five, your weight is healthy. If it's over, IT isn't. BM, I has become a popular measure for people to check their health on a population level. Data backs this up. People with a high B, M, I are statistically more likely to develop conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. Checking BMI could be away for people to easily assess their health and decide if they need to make any lifestyle changes. However, B, M, I does not give the full picture. It's known that it's less accurate for some groups of people, such as children, the elderly or athletes. The measure was devised in the sixth century by a belgium mathematician, and this may be why the figures are more accurate for europeans than other ethnicities. B, M, I also fails to account for several key factors. For example, highly active individuals may Carry substantial muscle weight, but be, am, I cannot distinguish this from health harming. Fat people can have a high BMI and be relatively healthy, while others may have a low b mi, but be unhealthy. The simplicity of BMI is attractive, is also very visible, and fits with society y's perception of the importance of weight. However, dependence on IT as an indication of health can cause prejudice. People can feel judged because of their weight. This sometimes leads people to avoid going to the doctors if they know they're likely to be questioned on IT. While BMI maybe a useful measure, experts remind us that you should always be considered along side other measures. Now listen again.

You only need to think of any marathon you’ve watched to assume that men tend to outperform women in sport. But an interesting recent review ____21____ (publish) in the journal Sports Medicine has triggered the discussion. It highlighted that the male-female performance gap in ultra-endurance competitions (events typically more than six hours) is as low as 4 percent, ____22____ it’s around 10 percent in traditional endurance sport. And the difference seems to reduce the longer the event becomes, to the point that women even outperform men when ____23____ comes to events like ultra-distance swimming. Just look at the finishing times for the 45.8 km Manhattan Island marathon swim. On average over the past 30 years, the best women ____24____ (be) 12 to 14 percent faster than the best men. There are lots of theories as to ____25____ women might make better ultra-endurance athletes. If we look at the physiology, men tend ____26____ (have) more type II muscle fibers, which are good for high power output sports such as sprinting (短跑). Women have more type I muscle fibers, which produce less force but are more resistant to exhaustion — ideal for ultra-endurance events. Another theory is that women are better than men at burning fat for fuel and so they have spare essential carbohydrate (碳水化合物) stores. This would mean they’re ____27____ (likely) to hit ‘the wall’ in a race. Other studies show that women are more likely to keep a consistent pace, ____28____ going too hard too soon. Sports psychologists have also suggested that women are generally better at bearing pain, reframing feelings such as exhaustion and enjoying the process rather than worrying about the outcome, all of ____29____ might lead to a better performance. As persuasive as these theories are, it’s difficult to be certain. Ultra-endurance events are niche (小众项目) and the small numbers of women ____30____ (participate) make it challenging to draw conclusions, and it’s rare to find direct comparisons with men. Hopefully this will change over time. III. Vocabulary (2篇*10’=20’) Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

Farming had long been family ___31___, and he aimed to revive it — and Lebanon’s fading olive-oil industry, which ___32___ its roots all the way back to ancient times. He later launched Genco Olive Oil, his own company. He is not alone. A short drive from Baasir lives Walid, who managed to convert wheat fields into olive groves in 2010, and his company now grows Italian varieties. In the mountains, Perini ___33___ another variety, Souri, on her ___34___ family’s land and calls her hometown the “Bordeaux (法国城市波尔多) of olive oil”. Unfortunately, they all face the same challenge. Although olive oil once ___35___ Lebanese cooking, many households have replaced it with imported vegetable oil, which recently became quite cheap thanks to the ___36___ Lebanese pound. At the same time, many smallholder farmers have let the quality of their product decline, causing consumption to fall to just a tenth of what the average Spaniard consumes. The economic crisis makes things worse. The country produces little, so nearly everything, from bottles to fertilizers, must be imported using dollars. As the Lebanese pounds plunge in value, prices rises and dollars becomes scarce. There is also a shortage of fuel, which will be needed to run machines that press olives for oil once the annual harvests ___37___. And then there is the pandemic, which delivered a severe ____38____ to restaurants, major buyers of extra-virgin olive oil. But Lebanese producers have their ___39___ set on the global market and believe they can rival those leading manufacturers from Spain and Italy in terms of quality, if not ____40____. Their labels have won numerous awards, which helps Lebanese olive oil gradually win loyal international customers. Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Reading 共60’：Cloze (2篇*15’=30’) +A+B+C+6选4 (30’) How to be more efficient: stop ‘precrastinating’ Whether or not we care to admit it, we’re all familiar with procrastination: waiting until the last minute to catch up with pressing tasks, often leading to subpar (低于标准的)or incomplete work. The antidote — while easier said than done — is simply to start on your assignments sooner, long before the cut-off time. But in your quest to ____51____ procrastination, is it possible to go too far? David Rosenbaum, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, certainly think so. His research focuses on the perils of “precrastination”, the ____52____ to rush too quickly into tasks. It can ____53____ an expenditure of unnecessary effort that could be avoided with a bit of planning — in other words, haste makes waste. ____54____ a procrastinator, who might leave an inbox full of emails untouched until the next day, a precrastinator would read and respond to each of them first thing in the morning. ____55____ they know most of the emails are unimportant, they would choose to clear them off as soon as possible. In some cases, this can mean draining the precious energy they might need for a more ____56____ task later on. So why do people precrastinate? Rosenbaum says that for most, it’s tough to ____57____ reaching for low-hanging fruit. If something is immediately ____58____ to you, you’re instinctively wired to go for it. Think about the sweet attraction of free food samples at the market. ____59____, when you complete simple short-term tasks, you have one fewer thing to think about — “I can wrap this up in five minutes. Why not take care of it now?” Personality ____60____ such as conscientiousness, eagerness to please and high energy can predict precrastination behaviors, Rosenbaum says, but the evolutionary impulse behind them is universal. The real ____61____ of precrastination comes when, in your rush to finish, you encounter the naturally higher chance of doing your work incompletely or inaccurately. In the case of emails, sometimes waiting to ____62____ can show respect for careful thought over expediency, especially if the content of the message is emotional. Of course, precrastination is not without its ____63____ , but it’s critical to do so only when it makes sense. Chronic precrastinators must also realize that it’s OK to ____64____ trivial things, because they will not require huge mental energy later in the day, Rosenbaum says. He argues that the managers of today would be wise to acknowledge that it’s not always best to do everything as quickly as possible. “It should be agreed in our society that it’s okay to smell the flowers,” he says. “To be ____65____, mindful and to be allowed to slow down.” 51.

But for Jeremy Bailey, a fire manager at the Nature Conservancy, fire is a natural process that ____66____ the landscape, much like rain. “When I think about fire, it always brings me a pleasant feeling,” he says. He is the first ____67____ on Life with Fire, a podcast hosted by former wildland firefighter Monthei. After an introductory show, each ____68____ features an interview with an expert that sets out to show that shocking news accounts of wildfires don’t tell the whole story. “Wildfire is a subtle subject that shouldn’t be ____69____ to the same talking points every summer and then forgotten about every winter,” says Monthei. The effect of climate change on wildfires is a big talking point on the show because it creates more ____70____ conditions for fire and lengthens fire seasons. However, a few guests suggest that climate change isn’t the only ____71____. In an absorbing discussion about the historic firestorm that hit northern California in September, Nick at the National Interagency Fire Center talks about the factors that had to ____72____ for such unheard-of fires to occur. ____73____ the absence of summer monsoons (季风) and presence of persistent heatwaves, it still took lightning and strong winds to generate those vast flames. Another big issue the show tackles is the fact that we can’t put out all wildfires, so we will have to manage them. Bailey is a fan of ____74____ fires. These “prescribed fires” are often started to clear the low vegetation, such as bushes and dead plants, that typically ____75____ severe wildfires. Planned blazes are mainly used to reduce the risks of disastrous fires, but he thinks they have wider potential. The podcast also discusses how to encourage women and ethnic minority groups into fire-related jobs, and how to retain them, as these jobs are still ____76____ done by white men. Lenya, who started a training scheme for women in fire, thinks people with ____77____ backgrounds are needed to help tackle the growing severity of wildfires. “____78____ at its core requires diversity because you have to have people thinking about issues in different ways and bringing different types of solution to the table,” she says. One ____79____ of Life with Fire is that although later shows are accessible to a general audience, the podcast takes time to get into its stride (进展). Presenting the topics it covers in a different order would have helped guide people with no knowledge of fire science. Upcoming shows will be more ____80____ as Monthei talks to fire practitioners from around the world. “I think telling stories and sharing new perspectives worldwide is a critical first step,” she says. 66.

But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (内啡肽) — chemicals in the body that cause happiness — are behind the so-called “runner’s high”, a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew. According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling. To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice. Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety. But after being given a drug to block their endorphins, the mice’s behavior didn’t seem to change. However, when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug, their runners’ high symptoms seemed to fade. “The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner’s high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifehacker. Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety. The UK’s National Health Service even prescribes exercise to patients who are suffering from depression. “Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can improve your mood if you have depression, and it’s especially useful for people with mild to moderate depression,” it wrote on its website. It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don’t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is to put on our running shoes. 81. What did scientists from German universities recently discover? A. Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression. B. The runner’s high could be caused by endocannabinoids. C. Endorphins may contribute to one’s high spirits after running. D.

WAHOO (C) ‘Hungry gene’ linked to obesity present in dogs and humans Ever wondered why some dogs are always hungry, however much you feed them? Well, we may be close to getting an answer. In a new study, scientists pinpointed several genes linked to obesity (condition of being fat in a way that is unhealthy) in dogs — genes that dogs share with humans. The findings suggest man’s best friend could help future researchers unlock new insights into weight gain and complex diseases. Though environmental factors such as ultra-processed foods are often blamed for rising rates of obesity, scientists emphasize the condition has complex biological causes, including genetics. “If you’re unlucky enough to get genes that make you prone to obesity, they appear as greater appetite, making it harder to resist those drives to overeat,” Dr Eleanor Raffan, the lead academic on the study, told BBC Science Focus. “In contrast, slim people just don’t need to exert as much willpower to keep at a healthy weight.” To see if obesity was also hereditary (遗传的) in dogs, the scientists looked at the genes of 241 labrador retrievers — a breed particularly prone to obesity. When compared with humans, the gene DENND1B, which plays a key role in how our cells process energy, emerged as a particularly strong genetic link between human and canine (犬的) obesity. As well as offering scientists a new model to understand human disease, this research could also help us take better care of our dogs. Until now the genetic basis of canine obesity hasn’t been widely studied. “Our results underscore the importance of encouraging exercise and limiting food intake for our dogs,” said Raffan. “Our data shows that it’s much harder to control food intake in the dogs with genes that put them at a high risk of obesity. That should change how we address canine obesity: we need to target owners of high-risk dogs and offer them support on effective management, rather than blaming them.” 88. What does the new study find about obesity? A. Environmental factors are to blame for obesity. B. Dogs are always hungry however much they eat. C. Genetic causes can result in the obesity of dogs. D. Man’s obesity offers new insight into dogs’ disease. 89. Dr Eleanor Raffan probably agrees that ______. A. slim people aren’t morally superior in controlling weight B. people have equal willpower to maintain healthy weight C. environmental factors should be excluded from the study D. obese people are blessed with the resistance to overeating 90. Which of the following is true about gene DENND1B? A. It is unique to obese human beings. B. It enables dogs to go on a healthy diet. C. It emerged after man had tamed dogs. D. It impacts dynamics of energy intake. 91. We can treat the problem of overweight dogs by ______. A. highlighting the importance of modifying dogs’ genes B. aiding owners with the high-risk dogs’ exercise and diet C. targeting high-risk dogs with medical and legal support D. blaming dog owners for inadequate management of pets Section C Errors of a wise man William Blake once said, “Make the errors of a wise man, not the perfection of a fool.” ____92____ It specifically targets a feature written by someone for whom English is a second, possibly even third, language. As a publisher, should we have caught those mistakes? Of course. But we didn’t. We missed them, and that’s on us. Now, if we had relied on ChatGPT or some other AI tool — those errors would have been eliminated. ____93____ And that’s where the difference lies. AI writes with mechanical fluency, an odd smoothness that, at first glance, might seem impressive. But there’s no soul in it. No human aspect, which is often where the charm and character of a story reside. When you read Adventure, you’re not consuming an unimaginative, algorithmic mixture of facts and details, woven together from a thousand other sources. What you get is something raw, something real — real people doing real things, telling real stories — experiences lived and shared. That’s a distinction that matters. In an era where fake news, Al-generated images, and even virtual sports clouds the lines between truth and fabrication (虚构的信息), we choose authenticity over perfection. We own our mistakes. ____94____ Sure, you could buy a flawless, genetically modified apple, polished and sprayed to maintain perfection. It might look good but how would it taste? Would it nourish you the same way? Would it carry the same depth of flavour that comes from sun, soil and time? Adventure isn’t about a flawless, airbrushed version of the world. It’s about telling stories that aren’t smoothed to perfection but that pulse with life, with humanity. So yes, we made a mistake, and we’ll probably make more, but we’ll own them. Because we’re not in the business of chasing perfection. We’re in the business of telling real stories, about real adventures, experienced by real people. And if that means the occasional typo slips (打印错误) through? ____95____ A. AI doesn’t make grammatical mistakes, but it does make factual ones. B. Last week, we received an email pointing out a few grammatical errors in our latest issue. C. The grains of sand under your nails after a long climb carry more wisdom than AI. D. They’re the marks on an organic apple — imperfect, maybe, but honest. E. We’ll take that over soulless perfection every single time. F. Were those mistakes ours to catch? Guided Writing (25’) 96.

Because it helps them mark their territory. C. Because it’s easier to sharpen their claws on it. D. Because they prefer soft surfaces for scratching. 12. A. To attract other cats to play. B.

To make way for new claws to grow. C. To scare away other animals immediately. D. To avoid getting their claws stuck in furniture. 【答案】11. B 12. D 13. B 【解析】 【原文】 Even the most obsessive fan of cats in the world can agree. It’s super annoying when they scratch up your stuff with their claws. But why do they do it? Sometimes it might seem like cats scratch furniture simply to get under our skin. But according to experts, there’s a pretty straightforward reason for it. Cats tend to scratch the nicest and most noticeable pieces of furniture in the room as a warning to other animals that it’s their territory. Think of it like a cat marking their favorite place to sit, so that no one else would dare come close, but it’s actually not just the scratches that a cat is leaving behind. They also have scent glands in their paws that leave a distinct odor that cats, dogs, and other animals can smell to let them know which cat owns the place. So that’s the main reason that cats love to tear up the place, but it’s not the only one. They also do it to help them file down their claws or even pull them off, so that a fresh one can grow. They also use their scratching time as a chance to stretch out their back muscles, so they can stay nice and loose for all that scurrying about. If you live with a cat who loves to tear the couch to shreds, there is something you can do to try and stop them. Buy a scratch post for your cat to tear apart instead. That way, the cat can mark its territory and that brand new couch can still look nice. Questions: 1. Why do cats tend to scratch the nicest and most noticeable furniture? 2. What is the function of the scent glands in cats’ paws? 3. Why do cats sometimes pull off their claws while scratching according to the passage? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. A. To explain how to calculate BMI accurately. B. To discuss the uses and limitations of BMI as a measure. C. To encourage people to avoid using BMI to assess health. D. To prove that BMI is unreliable for groups outside Europe. 15. A. It was created by a European mathematician. B. Europeans’ height and weight are more consistent. C. Other ethnicities have variable body compositions. D. It was designed specifically for European lifestyles. 16. A. By revising BMI reference standards. B. By eliminating prejudice against BMI. C. By adjusting the BMI calculation formula. D. By using BMI along with other health indicators. 【答案】14. B 15. A 16. D 【解析】 【原文】 Take your height in meters, square it, then divide it by your weight in kilograms. That’s how you calculate your body mass index, or BMI. If it’s between 18 and 25, your weight is healthy. If it’s over, it isn’t. BMI has become a popular measure for people to check their health. On a population level, data backs this up. People with a high BMI are statistically more likely to develop conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. Checking BMI could be a way for people to easily assess their health and decide if they need to make any lifestyle changes. However, BMI does not give the full picture. It’s known that it’s less accurate for some groups of people, such as children, the elderly or athletes. The measure was devised in the 19th Century by a Belgian mathematician, and this may be why the figures are more accurate for Europeans than other ethnicities. BMI also fails to account for several key factors. For example, highly active individuals may carry substantial muscle weight, but BMI cannot distinguish this from health-harming fat. People can have a high BMI and be relatively healthy, while others may have a low BMI but be unhealthy. The simplicity of BMI is attractive, it’s also very visible and fits with society’s perception of the importance of weight. However, dependence on it as an indication of health can cause prejudice. People can feel judged because of their weight. This sometimes leads people to avoid going to the doctors if they know they’re likely to be questioned on it. While BMI may be a useful measure, experts remind us that it should always be considered alongside other measures. 1. What is the main purpose of the passage? 2. Why might BMI be more accurate for Europeans than other ethnicities? 3. How can we improve the accuracy of BMI in health assessment? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.  听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. A. Record himself while practicing. B. Join the campus toastmasters club. C.

Write a draft of his presentation for him. D. Be a listener during practice and share opinions. 【答案】17. A 18. A 19. D 20. D 【解析】 【原文】M: Emma, any tips for public speaking? I have a 15-minute presentation next month and I’m really nervous — never done anything this formal before. W: Totally get it! Public speaking scared me too at first. Tried the campus toastmasters club? They hold weekly sessions with supportive people. M: I’ve heard of it, but my schedule’s packed. Any more time-efficient ways? W: Record yourself practicing! You can spot filler words or bad posture easily. M: Good idea. How to structure it so the audience stays focused? I don’t want them to zone out. W: Keep it simple — start with a hook, then 3-4 clear main points. Use fewer slides. M: Fewer slides, right? I’ve sat through presentations with too many texts on screen. W: Exactly! Slides should just support your words, not replace them. Use pictures or charts instead. M: Should I memorize the whole script or just key points? W: Outlines are way better. Memorizing sounds robotic, and you’ll panic if you blank out. M: Makes sense. What about pacing? I tend to talk fast when I’m nervous. W: Practice slowing down — pause after important points. Maybe time yourself to stay within 15 minutes. M: Thanks so much! Wanna be my practice audience when I have a draft? I value your feedback. W: Sure! I’ll bring snacks and take notes. Just let me know when you’re ready. M: Perfect. I’ll start recording myself this weekend. W: You’ve got this — most people are just glad it’s not them speaking, not judging every word. 1. What time-efficient tip does Emma give the man for public speaking practice? 2. What does Emma suggest the man do to start his presentation? 3. What does Emma say about slides for the presentation? 4. What does the man want the woman to do? II. Grammar (2分一题共20’) 语法填空 Do women make for better endurance athletes than men? You only need to think of any marathon you’ve watched to assume that men tend to outperform women in sport. But an interesting recent review ____21____ (publish) in the journal Sports Medicine has triggered the discussion. It highlighted that the male-female performance gap in ultra-endurance competitions (events typically more than six hours) is as low as 4 percent, ____22____ it’s around 10 percent in traditional endurance sport. And the difference seems to reduce the longer the event becomes, to the point that women even outperform men when ____23____ comes to events like ultra-distance swimming. Just look at the finishing times for the 45.8 km Manhattan Island marathon swim. On average over the past 30 years, the best women ____24____ (be) 12 to 14 percent faster than the best men. There are lots of theories as to ____25____ women might make better ultra-endurance athletes. If we look at the physiology, men tend ____26____ (have) more type II muscle fibers, which are good for high power output sports such as sprinting (短跑). Women have more type I muscle fibers, which produce less force but are more resistant to exhaustion — ideal for ultra-endurance events. Another theory is that women are better than men at burning fat for fuel and so they have spare essential carbohydrate (碳水化合物) stores. This would mean they’re ____27____ (likely) to hit ‘the wall’ in a race. Other studies show that women are more likely to keep a consistent pace, ____28____ going too hard too soon. Sports psychologists have also suggested that women are generally better at bearing pain, reframing feelings such as exhaustion and enjoying the process rather than worrying about the outcome, all of ____29____ might lead to a better performance. As persuasive as these theories are, it’s difficult to be certain. Ultra-endurance events are niche (小众项目) and the small numbers of women ____30____ (participate) make it challenging to draw conclusions, and it’s rare to find direct comparisons with men. Hopefully this will change over time. 【答案】21. published 22. while 23. it 24. have been 25. why 26. to have 27. less likely 28. instead of##rather than 29. which 30. participating 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨超耐力运动中女性表现不输甚至优于男性的现象，分析生理、体能及心理等方面的原因，也指出研究存在的局限性。 【21题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：但最近发表在《运动医学》期刊上的一篇有趣的综述引发了这一讨论。此处为非谓语动词作定语，a review与publish为被动关系，用过去分词published作后置定语。故填published。 【22题详解】 考查连词。句意：该综述强调，在超耐力比赛（通常耗时六小时以上的赛事）中，男女选手的成绩差距低至4%，而在传统耐力运动中这一差距约为10%。此处表前后两种情况的对比，用连词while，意为“然而”。故填while。 【23题详解】 考查代词。句意：而且赛事时长越长，这一差距似乎就越小，以至于在超远距离游泳这类赛事中，女性的表现甚至优于男性。此处为固定句型when it comes to...，意为“当谈到……，涉及……时”，用代词it。故填it。 【24题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去30年里，平均而言，女子最佳选手的成绩比男子最佳选手快12%到14%。根据时间状语over the past 30 years可知，此处强调从过去持续到现在的情况，用现在完成时，主语the best women为复数，助动词用have。故填have been。 【25题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：关于为何女性可能成为更优秀的超耐力运动员，有很多相关理论。此处引导宾语从句，作as to的宾语，从句中不缺主语和宾语，但句意不完整，结合句意，此处缺少原因状语，表“为什么”，用连接副词why。故填why。 【26题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：从生理结构来看，男性往往拥有更多的II型肌纤维，这类肌纤维适合短跑等高强度爆发力的运动。此处为固定搭配tend to do sth.，意为“往往会做某事，倾向于做某事”，用动词不定式to have。故填to have。 【27题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：这意味着她们在比赛中更不容易遭遇“撞墙期”。根据前文女性更擅长以脂肪为能量来源，保留碳水化合物储备的内容可知，此处表“更不可能的”，用likely的比较级less likely。故填less likely。 【28题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：其他研究表明，女性更有可能保持稳定的配速，而不会一开始就用力过猛。结合句意，此处表“而不是”，后接动名词going，用instead of/rather than。故填instead of/ rather than。 【29题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：运动心理学家还表示，女性通常更能忍受疼痛，能重新看待疲惫等感受，更享受过程而非担忧结果，这些因素都可能让她们取得更好的成绩。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整个句子提到的内容，关系词在从句中作介词of的宾语，用关系代词which。故填which。 【30题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：超耐力赛事属于小众项目，参与的女性人数较少，这使得得出结论颇具难度，也很难找到与男性的直接对比数据。此处为非谓语动词作定语，women与participate为主动关系，用现在分词participating作后置定语。故填participating。 III.

Although olive oil once ___35___ Lebanese cooking, many households have replaced it with imported vegetable oil, which recently became quite cheap thanks to the ___36___ Lebanese pound. At the same time, many smallholder farmers have let the quality of their product decline, causing consumption to fall to just a tenth of what the average Spaniard consumes. The economic crisis makes things worse. The country produces little, so nearly everything, from bottles to fertilizers, must be imported using dollars. As the Lebanese pounds plunge in value, prices rises and dollars becomes scarce. There is also a shortage of fuel, which will be needed to run machines that press olives for oil once the annual harvests ___37___. And then there is the pandemic, which delivered a severe ____38____ to restaurants, major buyers of extra-virgin olive oil.

Reading 共60’：Cloze (2篇*15’=30’) +A+B+C+6选4 (30’) How to be more efficient: stop ‘precrastinating’ Whether or not we care to admit it, we’re all familiar with procrastination: waiting until the last minute to catch up with pressing tasks, often leading to subpar (低于标准的)or incomplete work. The antidote — while easier said than done — is simply to start on your assignments sooner, long before the cut-off time. But in your quest to ____51____ procrastination, is it possible to go too far? David Rosenbaum, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, certainly think so. His research focuses on the perils of “precrastination”, the ____52____ to rush too quickly into tasks. It can ____53____ an expenditure of unnecessary effort that could be avoided with a bit of planning — in other words, haste makes waste. ____54____ a procrastinator, who might leave an inbox full of emails untouched until the next day, a precrastinator would read and respond to each of them first thing in the morning. ____55____ they know most of the emails are unimportant, they would choose to clear them off as soon as possible. In some cases, this can mean draining the precious energy they might need for a more ____56____ task later on. So why do people precrastinate? Rosenbaum says that for most, it’s tough to ____57____ reaching for low-hanging fruit. If something is immediately ____58____ to you, you’re instinctively wired to go for it. Think about the sweet attraction of free food samples at the market. ____59____, when you complete simple short-term tasks, you have one fewer thing to think about — “I can wrap this up in five minutes. Why not take care of it now?” Personality ____60____ such as conscientiousness, eagerness to please and high energy can predict precrastination behaviors, Rosenbaum says, but the evolutionary impulse behind them is universal. The real ____61____ of precrastination comes when, in your rush to finish, you encounter the naturally higher chance of doing your work incompletely or inaccurately. In the case of emails, sometimes waiting to ____62____ can show respect for careful thought over expediency, especially if the content of the message is emotional. Of course, precrastination is not without its ____63____ , but it’s critical to do so only when it makes sense. Chronic precrastinators must also realize that it’s OK to ____64____ trivial things, because they will not require huge mental energy later in the day, Rosenbaum says. He argues that the managers of today would be wise to acknowledge that it’s not always best to do everything as quickly as possible. “It should be agreed in our society that it’s okay to smell the flowers,” he says. “To be ____65____, mindful and to be allowed to slow down.” 51.

But for Jeremy Bailey, a fire manager at the Nature Conservancy, fire is a natural process that ____66____ the landscape, much like rain. “When I think about fire, it always brings me a pleasant feeling,” he says. He is the first ____67____ on Life with Fire, a podcast hosted by former wildland firefighter Monthei. After an introductory show, each ____68____ features an interview with an expert that sets out to show that shocking news accounts of wildfires don’t tell the whole story. “Wildfire is a subtle subject that shouldn’t be ____69____ to the same talking points every summer and then forgotten about every winter,” says Monthei. The effect of climate change on wildfires is a big talking point on the show because it creates more ____70____ conditions for fire and lengthens fire seasons. However, a few guests suggest that climate change isn’t the only ____71____. In an absorbing discussion about the historic firestorm that hit northern California in September, Nick at the National Interagency Fire Center talks about the factors that had to ____72____ for such unheard-of fires to occur. ____73____ the absence of summer monsoons (季风) and presence of persistent heatwaves, it still took lightning and strong winds to generate those vast flames. Another big issue the show tackles is the fact that we can’t put out all wildfires, so we will have to manage them. Bailey is a fan of ____74____ fires. These “prescribed fires” are often started to clear the low vegetation, such as bushes and dead plants, that typically ____75____ severe wildfires. Planned blazes are mainly used to reduce the risks of disastrous fires, but he thinks they have wider potential. The podcast also discusses how to encourage women and ethnic minority groups into fire-related jobs, and how to retain them, as these jobs are still ____76____ done by white men. Lenya, who started a training scheme for women in fire, thinks people with ____77____ backgrounds are needed to help tackle the growing severity of wildfires. “____78____ at its core requires diversity because you have to have people thinking about issues in different ways and bringing different types of solution to the table,” she says. One ____79____ of Life with Fire is that although later shows are accessible to a general audience, the podcast takes time to get into its stride (进展). Presenting the topics it covers in a different order would have helped guide people with no knowledge of fire science. Upcoming shows will be more ____80____ as Monthei talks to fire practitioners from around the world. “I think telling stories and sharing new perspectives worldwide is a critical first step,” she says. 66.

But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (内啡肽) — chemicals in the body that cause happiness — are behind the so-called “runner’s high”, a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew. According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling. To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice. Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety. But after being given a drug to block their endorphins, the mice’s behavior didn’t seem to change. However, when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug, their runners’ high symptoms seemed to fade. “The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner’s high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifehacker. Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety. The UK’s National Health Service even prescribes exercise to patients who are suffering from depression. “Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can improve your mood if you have depression, and it’s especially useful for people with mild to moderate depression,” it wrote on its website. It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don’t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is to put on our running shoes. 81. What did scientists from German universities recently discover? A. Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression. B. The runner’s high could be caused by endocannabinoids. C. Endorphins may contribute to one’s high spirits after running. D. The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect one’s mood. 82. Why did the scientists give mice drugs in their experiment? A. To identify what is responsible for the runner’s high. B. To see the specific symptoms of the runner’s high. C. To find what reduces the runner’s high symptoms. D. To test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released. 83. What does the underlined word “notion” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Effect. B. Goal. C. Opinion. D. Question. 84. What can we know about regular workouts according to the UK’s National Health Service? A. They tend to make depressed patients feel more energetic immediately. B. They are prescribed mainly for patients with severe mental disorders. C. They perform better in curing people with mild to moderate depression. D. They can help ease depression symptoms. 【答案】81. B 82. A 83. C 84. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明跑步后人们会感觉很好，其真正的原因可能是内源性大麻素。 【81题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling. (根据德国几所大学的一组科学家最近发表的一项研究，一组称为内源性大麻素的化学物质实际上可能是这种熟悉的极好感觉的原因。)”可知，德国大学的科学家最近发现跑步者的兴奋可能是由内源性大麻素引起的。故选B。 【82题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling. ((根据德国几所大学的一组科学家最近发表的一项研究，一组称为内源性大麻素的化学物质实际上可能是这种熟悉的极好感觉的原因。)”以及第四段“To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice. Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety. But after being given a drug to block their endorphins, the mice’s behavior didn’t seem to change. However, when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug, their runners’ high symptoms seemed to fade. (为了验证这一理论，科学家们选择了老鼠进行实验。老鼠和人类在运动后都会释放大量内啡肽和内源性大麻素。在跑步轮上运动后，老鼠看起来既快乐又放松，没有表现出焦虑的迹象。但当给它们服用一种药物来阻断内啡肽时，老鼠的行为似乎没有变化。然而，当用另一种药物阻断它们的内源性大麻素时，它们跑步时的愉悦感症状似乎消失了。)”可知，科学家们在实验中给老鼠服用药物，是为了找出使跑步者兴奋的原因。故选A。 【83题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner’s high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out (人们长期以来认为内啡肽是导致跑步者兴奋的原因，这种notion是错误的。内啡肽可以有效缓解疼痛，但只有在锻炼后你的身体和肌肉感到疼痛时才有效)”可知，内啡肽在人们锻炼后身体和肌肉感到疼痛时才会起作用，说明内啡肽不会导致跑步者兴奋，因此内啡肽会导致跑步者兴奋的观点是错误的，推测划线单词notion表示“观点”，与Opinion同义。故选C。 【84题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Regular exercise can improve your mood if you have depression, and it’s especially useful for people with mild to moderate depression (如果患有抑郁症的话，定期锻炼能改善你的情绪，对轻度至中度抑郁症患者尤其有效)”可知，定期锻炼可以帮助缓解抑郁症状。故选D。 (B) SMART PURE $64.95 It allows you to keep track of your jump rope workouts using its built-in magnetic sensors.

Well, we may be close to getting an answer. In a new study, scientists pinpointed several genes linked to obesity (condition of being fat in a way that is unhealthy) in dogs — genes that dogs share with humans. The findings suggest man’s best friend could help future researchers unlock new insights into weight gain and complex diseases. Though environmental factors such as ultra-processed foods are often blamed for rising rates of obesity, scientists emphasize the condition has complex biological causes, including genetics. “If you’re unlucky enough to get genes that make you prone to obesity, they appear as greater appetite, making it harder to resist those drives to overeat,” Dr Eleanor Raffan, the lead academic on the study, told BBC Science Focus. “In contrast, slim people just don’t need to exert as much willpower to keep at a healthy weight.” To see if obesity was also hereditary (遗传的) in dogs, the scientists looked at the genes of 241 labrador retrievers — a breed particularly prone to obesity. When compared with humans, the gene DENND1B, which plays a key role in how our cells process energy, emerged as a particularly strong genetic link between human and canine (犬的) obesity. As well as offering scientists a new model to understand human disease, this research could also help us take better care of our dogs. Until now the genetic basis of canine obesity hasn’t been widely studied. “Our results underscore the importance of encouraging exercise and limiting food intake for our dogs,” said Raffan. “Our data shows that it’s much harder to control food intake in the dogs with genes that put them at a high risk of obesity. That should change how we address canine obesity: we need to target owners of high-risk dogs and offer them support on effective management, rather than blaming them.” 88. What does the new study find about obesity? A. Environmental factors are to blame for obesity. B. Dogs are always hungry however much they eat. C. Genetic causes can result in the obesity of dogs. D. Man’s obesity offers new insight into dogs’ disease. 89. Dr Eleanor Raffan probably agrees that ______. A. slim people aren’t morally superior in controlling weight B. people have equal willpower to maintain healthy weight C. environmental factors should be excluded from the study D. obese people are blessed with the resistance to overeating 90. Which of the following is true about gene DENND1B? A. It is unique to obese human beings. B. It enables dogs to go on a healthy diet. C. It emerged after man had tamed dogs. D. It impacts dynamics of energy intake. 91. We can treat the problem of overweight dogs by ______. A. highlighting the importance of modifying dogs’ genes B. aiding owners with the high-risk dogs’ exercise and diet C. targeting high-risk dogs with medical and legal support D. blaming dog owners for inadequate management of pets 【答案】88. C 89. A 90. D 91. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述研究发现“饥饿基因”与肥胖有关，存在于狗和人类体内。 【88题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a new study, scientists pinpointed several genes linked to obesity (condition of being fat in a way that is unhealthy) in dogs — genes that dogs share with humans. (在一项新的研究中，科学家们在狗体内确定了几个与肥胖（一种不健康的体重状况。）相关的基因——这些基因是狗和人类共有的。)”可知，新研究发现遗传因素会导致犬类肥胖，故选C。 【89题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““If you’re unlucky enough to get genes that make you prone to obesity, they appear as greater appetite, making it harder to resist those drives to overeat,” Dr Eleanor Raffan, the lead academic on the study, told BBC Science Focus. “In contrast, slim people just don’t need to exert as much willpower to keep at a healthy weight.” (“如果你不幸遗传了容易导致肥胖的基因，那么这些基因就会表现为更强的食欲，从而使得人们更难抵制过度进食的冲动，”该研究的首席学者Eleanor Raffan博士在接受 BBC科学焦点频道采访时说道。“相比之下，身材苗条的人根本不需要付出太多意志力就能保持健康的体重。”)”可知，Eleanor Raffan博士指出，遗传肥胖基因的人更难抵制过度进食的冲动，而身材苗条的人不需要付出太多意志力就能保持健康的体重，由此推知身材苗条的人在控制体重方面并不一定就更具道德优势，故选A。 【90题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“When compared with humans, the gene DENND1B, which plays a key role in how our cells process energy, emerged as a particularly strong genetic link between human and canine (犬的) obesity. (与人类相比，控制细胞能量处理过程的关键基因DENND1B在人类和犬类肥胖之间表现出了尤为紧密的遗传关联。)”可知，该基因在能量吸收和利用方面起作用，因此它影响能量摄入的动态。故选D。 【91题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Our results underscore the importance of encouraging exercise and limiting food intake for our dogs (我们的研究结果强调了鼓励狗狗锻炼和限制其食物摄入量的重要性)”可知，帮助这些易肥胖狗的主人从运动和饮食管理方面入手最为有效，故选B。 Section C Errors of a wise man William Blake once said, “Make the errors of a wise man, not the perfection of a fool.” ____92____ It specifically targets a feature written by someone for whom English is a second, possibly even third, language. As a publisher, should we have caught those mistakes? Of course. But we didn’t. We missed them, and that’s on us. Now, if we had relied on ChatGPT or some other AI tool — those errors would have been eliminated. ____93____ And that’s where the difference lies. AI writes with mechanical fluency, an odd smoothness that, at first glance, might seem impressive. But there’s no soul in it. No human aspect, which is often where the charm and character of a story reside. When you read Adventure, you’re not consuming an unimaginative, algorithmic mixture of facts and details, woven together from a thousand other sources. What you get is something raw, something real — real people doing real things, telling real stories — experiences lived and shared. That’s a distinction that matters. In an era where fake news, Al-generated images, and even virtual sports clouds the lines between truth and fabrication (虚构的信息), we choose authenticity over perfection. We own our mistakes. ____94____ Sure, you could buy a flawless, genetically modified apple, polished and sprayed to maintain perfection. It might look good but how would it taste? Would it nourish you the same way? Would it carry the same depth of flavour that comes from sun, soil and time? Adventure isn’t about a flawless, airbrushed version of the world. It’s about telling stories that aren’t smoothed to perfection but that pulse with life, with humanity. So yes, we made a mistake, and we’ll probably make more, but we’ll own them. Because we’re not in the business of chasing perfection. We’re in the business of telling real stories, about real adventures, experienced by real people. And if that means the occasional typo slips (打印错误) through? ____95____ A. AI doesn’t make grammatical mistakes, but it does make factual ones. B. Last week, we received an email pointing out a few grammatical errors in our latest issue. C. The grains of sand under your nails after a long climb carry more wisdom than AI. D. They’re the marks on an organic apple — imperfect, maybe, but honest. E. We’ll take that over soulless perfection every single time. F. Were those mistakes ours to catch? 【答案】92. B 93. A 94. D 95. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要阐述出版商选择接受智者的错误、追求内容真实性，而非依赖AI追求无灵魂的完美，强调真实故事的价值。 【92题详解】 根据上文“William Blake once said, “Make the errors of a wise man, not the perfection of a fool.”(威廉・布莱克曾经说过：“要做智者的错误，而不是愚者的完美。”)”以及下文“It specifically targets a feature written by someone for whom English is a second, possibly even third, language. As a publisher, should we have caught those mistakes?(它专门针对一篇由英语是第二语言，甚至可能是第三语言的人撰写的特写。作为出版商，我们本应该发现这些错误吗？)”可知，此处应引出“错误”这一具体话题，衔接下文的错误相关内容，B选项“Last week, we received an email pointing out a few grammatical errors in our latest issue.(上周，我们收到一封电子邮件，指出了我们最新一期杂志中的几处语法错误)”既呼应了上文的“错误”，又引出下文对这些错误的讨论，符合语境。故选B项。 【93题详解】 根据上文“Now, if we had relied on ChatGPT or some other AI tool — those errors would have been eliminated.(现在，如果我们依赖 ChatGPT 或其他一些人工智能工具 —— 那些错误就会被消除)”以及下文“And that’s where the difference lies. AI writes with mechanical fluency, an odd smoothness that, at first glance, might seem impressive. But there’s no soul in it.(这就是区别所在。人工智能的写作具有机械的流畅性，一种奇怪的顺滑感，乍一看可能令人印象深刻。但其中没有灵魂)”可知，此处应衔接上文AI能消除错误的特点，同时引出AI的不足，A选项“AI doesn’t make grammatical mistakes, but it does make factual ones.(人工智能不会犯语法错误，但会犯事实错误)”既说明AI能消除语法错误（呼应上文），又指出其存在事实错误的不足，为下文阐述AI没有灵魂做铺垫，符合语境。故选A项。 【94题详解】 根据上文“We own our mistakes.(我们承认自己的错误)”以及下文“Sure, you could buy a flawless, genetically modified apple, polished and sprayed to maintain perfection. It might look good but how would it taste?(当然，你可以买一个完美无瑕的转基因苹果，经过抛光和喷洒处理以保持完美。它可能看起来不错，但味道会怎么样呢？)”可知，此处应将 “错误” 比作某种不完美但真实的事物，衔接下文的苹果比喻，D选项“They’re the marks on an organic apple — imperfect, maybe, but honest.(它们就像有机苹果上的印记 —— 也许不完美，但很真实)”中的They指代上文的mistakes，且用苹果比喻呼应下文，符合语境。故选D项。 【95题详解】 根据上文“So yes, we made a mistake, and we’ll probably make more, but we’ll own them. Because we’re not in the business of chasing perfection. We’re in the business of telling real stories, about real adventures, experienced by real people. And if that means the occasional typo slips through?(所以是的，我们犯了一个错误，而且可能还会犯更多，但我们会承认。因为我们不是在追求完美的行业。我们是做真实故事的，关于真实的冒险，由真实的人经历的故事。如果这意味着偶尔会有打印错误溜走呢？)”可知，此处应回应上文的提问，表明宁愿接受错误也不想要无灵魂的完美，E选项“We’ll take that over soulless perfection every single time.(我们每次都会选择那个（错误），而不是无灵魂的完美)”既回应了上文的打印错误问题，又呼应了全文“宁愿不完美但真实，也不要无灵魂完美”的主旨，符合语境。故选E项。 Guided Writing (25’) 96.
