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℃ 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. 36. 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. 37 Which group was most affected by heat-related aging? A. Office workers. B. Students. C. Outdoor workers and rural residents. D. Elderly city residents. 38. How much did biological age increase per 1.3℃ of extra heat exposure? A. About one week. B. About one month. C. About one year. D. About five years. 39. 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. 40. 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. 41. How did the author probably feel when her mother read Blueberries for Sal to her? A. Bored. B. Scared. C. Calm. D. Thrilled. 42. What challenges did the boy have in his life when the author read a picture book to him? A. Growing up in a rich family and feeling lonely. B. Growing up in poverty and often feeling lonely. C. Growing up in poverty but feeling happy all the time. D. Growing up in a rich family and having many friends. 43. What does the word “sessions” in paragraph 2 most closely mean? A. Contests. B. Gatherings. C. Rejections. D. Footsteps. 44. What is the author’s opinion about reading aloud? A. It’s a complicated activity. B. It can have a huge positive influence. C. It’s only beneficial to children in rich countries. D. It’s difficult to popularize globally. 45. Which title best sums up the passage? A. From a Childhood Memory to a Global Festival B. The Benefits of Reading Aloud to Kids C. A Poor Student’s Dream of Reading D. 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. 46. 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. 47. The word “strain” in Paragraph 4 most likely means . A strengthen B. make more efficient. C. put under pressure D. improve 48. 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. 49. 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 50. 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. 51.

frequent exposure to extreme heat can make your body age faster. 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℃ 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. 36. 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. 37. Which group was most affected by heat-related aging? A. Office workers. B. Students. C. Outdoor workers and rural residents. D. Elderly city residents. 38. How much did biological age increase per 1.3℃ of extra heat exposure? A. About one week. B. About one month. C. About one year. D. About five years. 39 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. 40. 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. 【答案】36. C 37. C 38. A 39. B 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了英国一项研究发现，频繁暴露在极端高温下会加速人体衰老，提高生理年龄。高温对户外工作者和农村居民影响更大，好在其衰老影响正逐渐减弱，这也提醒人们关注气候变化带来的健康隐患。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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.( 研究人员对近25000人进行了跟踪调查，结果发现热浪会增加你的“生理年龄”——这是一种衡量身体实际年龄的指标，它不受实际年龄的影响)”可知，极端高温会加快生物衰老的速度。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Outdoor workers and people in rural areas showed the most heat-related aging, likely because they have less access to air conditioning.(户外工作者以及生活在农村地区的人群出现的与高温相关的衰老现象最为严重，这可能是因为他们较少能使用空调)”可知，户外工作者和农村居民受热导致的衰老影响最大。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They found that for every extra 1.3℃ of heat exposure, people’s biological age increased by about one week.(他们发现，每增加1.3摄氏度的高温暴露，人的生理年龄就会增加约一周)”可知，每额外暴露1.3℃的热量，生物年龄会增加大约一周。故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, there was some good news: the aging effect decreased over the study period, possibly because cooling technology became more widely available.(不过，也有一些好消息传来：在研究期间，老化效应有所减弱，这可能是因为冷却技术的应用范围变得更广了)”可知，随着时间的推移，研究人员观察到老化效应减弱了。故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This matters because people with older biological ages face higher risks of diseases like heart problems and diabetes.(这一点很重要，因为年龄较大的生理年龄人群患心脏病和糖尿病等疾病的风险更高)”可知，生理年龄很重要是因为它会影响患病风险。故选B。 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. 41. How did the author probably feel when her mother read Blueberries for Sal to her? A. Bored. B. Scared. C. Calm. D. Thrilled. 42. What challenges did the boy have in his life when the author read a picture book to him? A. Growing up in a rich family and feeling lonely. B. Growing up in poverty and often feeling lonely. C. Growing up in poverty but feeling happy all the time. D. Growing up in a rich family and having many friends. 43. What does the word “sessions” in paragraph 2 most closely mean? A. Contests. B. Gatherings. C. Rejections. D. Footsteps. 44. What is the author’s opinion about reading aloud? A. It’s a complicated activity. B. It can have a huge positive influence. C. It’s only beneficial to children in rich countries. D. It’s difficult to popularize globally. 45. Which title best sums up the passage? A. From a Childhood Memory to a Global Festival B. The Benefits of Reading Aloud to Kids C. A Poor Student’s Dream of Reading D. How LitWorld Changed the World of Reading 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. B 44. B 45.

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.(养成阅读习惯的孩子会成为积极且知识渊博的全球公民。每个孩子都应享有阅读的权利。虽然说大声朗读能够改变世界这一说法听起来可能很简单，但正是这一点使其如此有价值。与孩子们分享故事既简单易行，成本又不高，而且实施起来也很容易，但其带来的影响却可能是巨大的)”结合文章主要讲述了作者童年时母亲朗读的经历影响深远，后来受学生启发创立世界朗读日。如今该活动遍布全球，作者认为朗读简单却意义重大，能带来巨大积极影响。可知，A选项“从童年记忆到全球盛会”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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. 46. 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. 47. The word “strain” in Paragraph 4 most likely means . A. strengthen B. make more efficient. C. put under pressure D. improve 48. 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. 49. 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 50. 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. 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. C 49. A 50. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全球多数国家生育率下降，人口将萎缩。受教育、经济、观念等因素影响，带来社会压力，但也利于环保。各国应适应趋势，核心是满足人们真实生育意愿。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This trend, often called a baby bust, is happening in most countries worldwide. (这种现象通常被称为“生育低迷”，目前在全球大多数国家都正在发生)”可知，这篇文章所描述的主要趋势是大多数国家的生育率都在下降。故选B。 47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“A declining population can lead to challenges. With fewer young people working, it becomes harder to support a growing elderly population.(人口减少可能会带来一系列问题。由于年轻人就业人数减少，就更难以支撑不断增长的老年人口群体)”以及后文“healthcare and pension systems(医疗保健和养老金体系)”可知，人口减少会对医疗保健和养老金体系带来压力。故划线词意思是“使……承受压力”。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“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.(一些研究人员认为，社会不应试图彻底扭转这一趋势，而应致力于适应它——例如，通过提高生产力和改革社会制度来实现这一目标)”可知，我们应该顺应这种趋势，比如提高生产力。故选C。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“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.(例如，撒哈拉以南非洲地区的生育率仍然很高，预计到2100年，该地区将占全球出生人口的超过一半)”可知，到2100年，撒哈拉以南非洲地区预计将会有超过全球一半的新生儿。故选A。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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.(1970年，墨西哥女性平均生育约7个孩子。而到2025年，这一数字已降至1.6个，这意味着人口不再能够自我更替。这种现象通常被称为“生育低迷”，目前在全球大多数国家都正在发生。到2050年，预计超过四分之三的国家人口将会减少)”以及文章主要说明了全球多数国家生育率下降，人口将萎缩。受教育、经济、观念等因素影响，带来社会压力，但也利于环保。各国应适应趋势，核心是满足人们真实生育意愿。可知，作者撰写这篇文章的主要目的是解释出生率下降的原因以及社会应如何应对这一趋势。故选D。 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.
