Fu Zai, a cute corgi (柯基) only six months old who has been trained to be China’s first corgi police dog, made his debut during the opening day of a police camp in Weifang, Shandong Province.
As he became the center of attention at the camp, it once again broke people’s stereotype that “little short legs” cannot join the police force. Unlike those long-limbed dogs full of strength and vigor, Fu Zai quickly went viral online thanks to his iconic smile, distinctive short legs and excellent explosion device-seeking abilities.
As a reserve police dog, Fu Zai faces a “heavy workload”: training is scheduled for every morning and afternoon, involving a variety of subjects, such as obedient exercising, bomb search, sniffing techniques and so on. Throughout the whole process, Fu Zai stood out and outperformed many of his peers at two months old.
However, some have doubted whether this adorable police dog can actually overcome obstacles and chase down suspects. In the face of questioning, Fu Zai performed admirably, thanks to its unique advantages in the training. “His strong environmental adaptability, insensitivity, his desire for possession of items and his fondness of food make him ideally suited for our training.” said Wang Yanan, head of the police dog base of the Weifang public security bureau.
Following four months of training, Fu Zai now can take advantage of his short legs to directly probe beneath the car and easily get into and search narrow spaces. He can also improve interactions between police dogs and the public because of his amiable appearance. “Police dogs are not only cute, but trainers have done a lot of work and effort to train them.” said Wang.
Fu Zai is still naive as a reserve police dog and must undergo a period of further training to adapt to the complex environment before he will be officially appointed and given assignments.
4. What does the underlined word “debut” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. First public appearance. B. Formal training session.
C. Important achievement. D. Official appointment.
5. Which of the following is TRUE about Fu Zai according to the passage?
A. He is famous for his look and short legs.
B. He is now serving as an official police dog.
C. His daily work is chasing and catching suspects.
D. He performed well in training at a very early age.
6. What are Fu Zai’s unique advantages mentioned by the trainer Wang Yanan?
①Preference for food.
②Intense desire for object possession.
③High sensitivity to external distractions.
④Natural ability to overcome high obstacles.
⑤Excellent ability to adapt to the environment.
A. ①②③ B. ①②⑤ C. ①③④ D. ②④⑤
7. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A To show how strict police dog training is.
B. To contrast reserve and official police dogs.
C. To note the complex environment facing Fu Zai.
D. To stress needed training before Fu Zai’s full role.
C
Many things can now be bought using buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) financing. Such purchases are often the subject of ridicule (嘲笑). Paying for lunch in installments (分期付款) is, to some, consumerism at its most absurd. Others see something darker: lending that skirts the edge of mainstream finance, targeting unstable borrowers. Neither ridicule nor anxiety has weakened the industry’s growth, however.
The idea of a loan at the point of sale is an old one. In 1856, Isaac Singer and Edward Clark began selling sewing machines in installments, with great success. The modern industry operates in a similar manner. When a customer buys a product for $100, they can pay in stages. The BNPL lender pays the merchant in advance, in exchange for a cut of, say, $3. This is attractive to retailers (零售商), since it boosts sales. The customer pays back the sum over time, with zero interest.
BNPL plans promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can fool our minds. When payment is delayed or divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally exhausted. Although the £15 or $25 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Prelec & Loewenstein found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. This psychological disconnection allows people to underestimate the long-term cost of their spending and often leads to impulsive financial decisions. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, these behaviors can develop into chronic debt.
Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes, our relationships, and even our sleep. The psychological cost can be severe when financial strain affects daily survival, such as paying for food, housing, or education. Even middle and high income earners report significant mental distress when caught in cycles of lifestyle-driven debt because of the pressure.
8. What can we learn about the BNPL industry from paragraph 1?
A. It faces no public criticism. B. It replaces mainstream finance.
C. It targets poor borrowers. D. It maintains strong growth.
9. What is the probable reason why retailers favor to do BNPL service?
A. It provides payment in advance. B. It charges minimal fees.
C. It generates more profits. D. It offers interest-free loans.
10. What results from reduced “pain of paying”?
A. Higher spending goals. B. More unplanned purchases.
C. Lowered long-term costs. D. Improved financial decisions.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards BNPL?
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Subjective.
D
A tiny wireless chip placed at the back of the eye, combined with a pair of advanced smart glasses, has partially restored vision to people suffering from an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In a clinical study led by Stanford Medicine and international collaborators, 27 of the 32 participants regained the ability to read within a year of receiving the implant.
The implant, named PRIMA and developed at Stanford Medicine, is the first artificial eye device to restore usable vision to individuals with otherwise untreatable vision loss. The technology enables patients to recognize patterns, a level of vision known as form vision. “All previous attempts to provide vision with artificial devices resulted in basically light sensitivity, not really form vision,” said Daniel Palanker, “We are the first to provide form vision.”
The system includes two main parts: a small camera attached to a pair of glasses and a wireless chip implanted in the retina. The camera captures visual information and projects it through infrared light to the implant, which turns it into electrical signals. These signals substitute for the damaged photoreceptors that normally detect light and send visual data to the brain.
Participants in the latest trial had an advanced stage of AMD known as geographic atrophy, which progressively destroys central vision. This condition affects over 5 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of changeless blindness among older adults.
The implant, measuring just 2 by 2 millimeters, is placed in the area of the retina where photoreceptors have been lost. Unlike natural photoreceptors that respond to visible light, the chip detects infrared light emitted from the glasses. “The projection is done by infrared because we want to make sure it’s invisible to the remaining photoreceptors outside the implant,” Palanker said. This design allows patients to use both their natural surrounding vision and the new artificial central vision at the same time, improving their ability to orient themselves and move around.
12. What can be inferred about initial artificial eye devices?
A. They targeted patients with early macular degeneration.
B. They helped patients regain the ability to read.
C. They failed to help patients recognize basic shapes.
D. They tried to rely on visible light to transmit signals.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How the PRIMA system works.
B. How the damaged photoreceptors function.
C. How the infrared light transmits signals.
D. How the smart glasses capture images.
14. Why does the researcher use the infrared light?
A. To improve light sensitivity. B. To cure geographic atrophy.
C. To fit the remaining photoreceptors. D. To avoid affecting natural vision.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A new cure for blindness. B. A new trail for PRIMA.
C. A new hope for AMD patients. D. A new breakthrough for vision.

The Truth about Metabolism (新陈代谢)
If you’ve ever struggled to lose weight, chances are you’ve blamed your metabolism. That mysterious phenomenon we’re told keeps some people effortlessly slim while making weight loss an unwinnable battle for others. ____16____ It’s a twisted version of the story that leaves out the parts that matter most for fat loss.
____17____ For starters, metabolism is more than just “how many calories you burn”. It’s the vast network of chemical reactions inside your cells and tissues that power everything you do. Still, most of us reduce it to a single number: the calories burned at any given time.
That’s where “metabolic rate” comes in — the primary measure of how fast your metabolism is running. In simple terms, it’s the energy you use just lying still, the bare minimum your body needs to keep the lights on. ____18____
Many people think slim individuals have a fast metabolism. They believe this lets them burn calories without effort. ____19____ Metabolic rate is mostly driven by body size — the more there is to maintain, the more energy the body uses.
Even so, body weight alone is a rough measure. Two people weigh the same, but how that weight is made up can make a big difference. The balance between fat and muscle composition shapes metabolic rate too. ____20____ This helps explain why men often have higher metabolic rates than women at the same weight, and why metabolic differences aren’t as dramatic as we think.
A. So what exactly defines metabolism?
B. But that’s not really how the body works.
C. Men have much more active muscle than women.
D. Body size plays a more important role than muscle.
E. Men usually have more muscle and less fat than women.
F. In reality, it’s larger bodies that have faster metabolisms.
G. It’s the key assessment people use to judge their metabolic health.

Recently divorced and jobless, I needed to find work. I ____21____ the newspaper want ads and sighed. Having been out of the ____22____ for years, what could I do? I began to highlight the possibilities. I crossed out more ads than I highlighted before ____23____ one: Waitress Wanted, Day Shift. I chuckled and said to myself, “Why not?”
At the restaurant, the owner asked about my experience. I ____24____ listed some places where I had worked as a teenager. Though it was a bit exaggerated, it was not a total lie. Luckily, I got the job and was told to start in a quieter ____25____ to learn slowly.
On my first day, the owner put me in a back room to get used to the ____26____. I was busy filling salt and pepper shakers and learning how to set the tables when a group of ten men came to my station. I felt ____27____ but calmed myself down quickly.
I ____28____ the menus, hands shaking slightly. Walking to the table, I tried a silly accent ____29____ by a TV comedy and ____30____ them to order the fish special to make it easier for me, a new waitress. All the men laughed and gladly agreed.
Later, I tried to carry three plates like other ____31____. The first two were fine, but the third tottered and ____32____ a gentleman’s lap, spilling fish, fries and coleslaw. I apologized repeatedly, ____33____ bright red. The whole table burst into loud laughter; even the kitchen staff joined in.
I cried a little, then laughed too. After ____34____ myself, I went back, apologized again and offered to pay for the cleaning. The men were quite nice. They finished their meal, chatted as usual and left twenty-dollar ____35____ on each plate with a smiley face drawn on a napkin. I smiled to myself. Yep, I can do this.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After returning from the emergency room, I soaked my pillow with tears. I had a head-on collision on my way home from work. Miraculously, both vehicles were destroyed but no one was seriously injured. My best friend Lisa, who had always stood by me, rushed to the hospital immediately, holding my hand tightly and whispering comfort, her eyes filled with worry and relief that I was alive.
In the months before the accident, my life had been a whirlwind of confusion and pain. Six months earlier, I was already struggling with a back injury when my husband of seventeen years announced he wanted to separate. Lisa dropped everything that night, brought my favorite hot soup, and sat with me until dawn, letting me cry on her shoulder silently. A month later, my beloved grandmother died from fall complications, and my dad had a stroke the next month. My husband moved out right before Christmas, but Lisa stayed with me through it all. She visited my dad in the hospital with me, helped sort my grandmother’s things, and stayed on Christmas Eve to keep me from being alone.
Now, instead of escaping my troubles, I had new ones: physical pain, minor cosmetic issues, and, even worse, the fear of driving again. Lisa never left my side—she helped me file claims, accompanied me to doctor’s appointments, and gently encouraged me, reminding me I was stronger than I thought. “Do you see it now? You survived a head-on collision without serious injuries. You have gone through so much but your life still has possibilities.” Moved by her words, I refuse to stay broken and decided to emerge better and stronger.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Determined to face my fear of driving, I started with the smallest step.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Months later, I felt an overall change.

Fu Zai, a cute corgi (柯基) only six months old who has been trained to be China’s first corgi police dog, made his debut during the opening day of a police camp in Weifang, Shandong Province.
As he became the center of attention at the camp, it once again broke people’s stereotype that “little short legs” cannot join the police force. Unlike those long-limbed dogs full of strength and vigor, Fu Zai quickly went viral online thanks to his iconic smile, distinctive short legs and excellent explosion device-seeking abilities.
As a reserve police dog, Fu Zai faces a “heavy workload”: training is scheduled for every morning and afternoon, involving a variety of subjects, such as obedient exercising, bomb search, sniffing techniques and so on. Throughout the whole process, Fu Zai stood out and outperformed many of his peers at two months old.
However, some have doubted whether this adorable police dog can actually overcome obstacles and chase down suspects. In the face of questioning, Fu Zai performed admirably, thanks to its unique advantages in the training. “His strong environmental adaptability, insensitivity, his desire for possession of items and his fondness of food make him ideally suited for our training.” said Wang Yanan, head of the police dog base of the Weifang public security bureau.
Following four months of training, Fu Zai now can take advantage of his short legs to directly probe beneath the car and easily get into and search narrow spaces. He can also improve interactions between police dogs and the public because of his amiable appearance. “Police dogs are not only cute, but trainers have done a lot of work and effort to train them.” said Wang.
Fu Zai is still naive as a reserve police dog and must undergo a period of further training to adapt to the complex environment before he will be officially appointed and given assignments.
4. What does the underlined word “debut” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. First public appearance. B. Formal training session.
C. Important achievement. D. Official appointment.
5. Which of the following is TRUE about Fu Zai according to the passage?
A. He is famous for his look and short legs.
B. He is now serving as an official police dog.
C. His daily work is chasing and catching suspects.
D. He performed well in training at a very early age.
6. What are Fu Zai’s unique advantages mentioned by the trainer Wang Yanan?
①Preference for food.
②Intense desire for object possession.
③High sensitivity to external distractions.
④Natural ability to overcome high obstacles.
⑤Excellent ability to adapt to the environment.
A. ①②③ B. ①②⑤ C. ①③④ D. ②④⑤
7. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To show how strict police dog training is.
B. To contrast reserve and official police dogs.
C. To note the complex environment facing Fu Zai.
D. To stress needed training before Fu Zai’s full role.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了六个月大的柯基犬“福仔”经训练成为中国首只柯基警犬,凭小短腿的优势可探测车底窄缝等特殊环境,现在还年幼仍需继续训练方能正式上岗。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词前“a cute corgi (柯基) only six months old who has been trained to be China’s first corgi police dog(一只只有六个月大的可爱柯基犬,它经过训练成为了中国第一只柯基警犬)”及第二段“As he became the center of attention at the camp, it once again broke people’s stereotype that ‘little short legs’ cannot join the police force.( 在训练营中,它成为了众人瞩目的焦点,这再次打破了人们‘身材矮小’的“不能加入警察队伍”的刻板印象)”可知,此次山东潍坊是福仔作为警犬身份第一次亮相,受到人们的关注。由此推测,划线词的意思是“第一次公开露面”。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As a reserve police dog, Fu Zai faces a “heavy workload”: training is scheduled for every morning and afternoon, involving a variety of subjects, such as obedient exercising, bomb search, sniffing techniques and so on. Throughout the whole process, Fu Zai stood out and outperformed many of his peers at two months old.(作为后备警犬,福仔面临着“繁重的工作任务”:每天上午和下午都有训练安排,内容包括服从性训练、爆炸物搜查、嗅探技巧等等。在整个过程中,福仔表现出色,比许多两个月大的同龄犬表现得都要好)”可知,他在很小的时候就在训练中表现出色。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段警官对福仔的评价“His strong environmental adaptability, insensitivity, his desire for possession of items and his fondness of food make him ideally suited for our training.(他具有很强的环境适应能力、对环境干扰的不敏感性(即不易受外界干扰)、对物品的占有欲以及对食物的喜好,这些特质使他非常适合我们的训练)”可知,福仔具有很强的环境适应能力、对物品的占有欲以及对食物的喜好这几个特点是文章提到的,这使他适合成为警犬。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fu Zai is still naive as a reserve police dog and must undergo a period of further training to adapt to the complex environment before he will be officially appointed and given assignments.(福仔仍是一名储备警犬,还必须经过一段时间的进一步训练,以适应复杂的环境,之后才会正式被任命并分配任务)”可知,本段是要指出为确保福仔能够充分发挥其作用正式上岗,还需先对其进行必要的培训。故选D项。
C
Many things can now be bought using buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) financing. Such purchases are often the subject of ridicule (嘲笑). Paying for lunch in installments (分期付款) is, to some, consumerism at its most absurd. Others see something darker: lending that skirts the edge of mainstream finance, targeting unstable borrowers. Neither ridicule nor anxiety has weakened the industry’s growth, however.
The idea of a loan at the point of sale is an old one. In 1856, Isaac Singer and Edward Clark began selling sewing machines in installments, with great success. The modern industry operates in a similar manner. When a customer buys a product for $100, they can pay in stages. The BNPL lender pays the merchant in advance, in exchange for a cut of, say, $3. This is attractive to retailers (零售商), since it boosts sales. The customer pays back the sum over time, with zero interest.
BNPL plans promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can fool our minds. When payment is delayed or divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally exhausted. Although the £15 or $25 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Prelec & Loewenstein found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. This psychological disconnection allows people to underestimate the long-term cost of their spending and often leads to impulsive financial decisions. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, these behaviors can develop into chronic debt.
Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes, our relationships, and even our sleep. The psychological cost can be severe when financial strain affects daily survival, such as paying for food, housing, or education. Even middle and high income earners report significant mental distress when caught in cycles of lifestyle-driven debt because of the pressure.
8. What can we learn about the BNPL industry from paragraph 1?
A. It faces no public criticism. B. It replaces mainstream finance.
C. It targets poor borrowers. D. It maintains strong growth.
9. What is the probable reason why retailers favor to do BNPL service?
A. It provides payment in advance. B. It charges minimal fees.
C. It generates more profits. D. It offers interest-free loans.
10. What results from reduced “pain of paying”?
A. Higher spending goals. B. More unplanned purchases.
C. Lowered long-term costs. D. Improved financial decisions.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards BNPL?
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Subjective.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“先买后付”(BNPL)服务的商业模式和快速增长,并分析了其通过分离支付与购买行为来降低“支付痛苦”,从而诱使消费者过度消费、累积债务,最终对个人财务和心理健康造成严重负面影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Neither ridicule nor anxiety has weakened the industry’s growth, however. (然而,无论是嘲笑还是担忧,都没有削弱该行业的增长。)”可知,BNPL行业保持着强劲的增长。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The BNPL lender pays the merchant in advance, in exchange for a cut of, say, $3. This is attractive to retailers (零售商), since it boosts sales. (BNPL贷款方预先支付给商家,以换取分成,比如3美元。这对零售商来说颇具吸引力,因为这能促进销售。)”可知,零售商青睐BNPL服务很可能是因为它能带来更多利润。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Prelec & Loewenstein found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. This psychological disconnection allows people to underestimate the long-term cost of their spending and often leads to impulsive financial decisions. (Prelec和Loewenstein发现,当支付行为与购买行为分离时,我们感受到的“支付痛苦”会减少,这使我们更有可能超支。这种心理上的脱节使得人们往往会低估自己消费行为的长期代价,并常常因此做出冲动的财务决策。)”可知,“支付痛苦”的减少导致了更多无计划的购买。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章先介绍先买后付模式的运作方式与行业发展情况,再分析其对消费者的心理影响和潜在债务风险,既没有一味夸赞该模式的优势,也没有片面否定其存在的价值,只是客观地阐述相关事实并进行分析。故选C项。
D
A tiny wireless chip placed at the back of the eye, combined with a pair of advanced smart glasses, has partially restored vision to people suffering from an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In a clinical study led by Stanford Medicine and international collaborators, 27 of the 32 participants regained the ability to read within a year of receiving the implant.
The implant, named PRIMA and developed at Stanford Medicine, is the first artificial eye device to restore usable vision to individuals with otherwise untreatable vision loss. The technology enables patients to recognize patterns, a level of vision known as form vision. “All previous attempts to provide vision with artificial devices resulted in basically light sensitivity, not really form vision,” said Daniel Palanker, “We are the first to provide form vision.”
The system includes two main parts: a small camera attached to a pair of glasses and a wireless chip implanted in the retina. The camera captures visual information and projects it through infrared light to the implant, which turns it into electrical signals. These signals substitute for the damaged photoreceptors that normally detect light and send visual data to the brain.
Participants in the latest trial had an advanced stage of AMD known as geographic atrophy, which progressively destroys central vision. This condition affects over 5 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of changeless blindness among older adults.
The implant, measuring just 2 by 2 millimeters, is placed in the area of the retina where photoreceptors have been lost. Unlike natural photoreceptors that respond to visible light, the chip detects infrared light emitted from the glasses. “The projection is done by infrared because we want to make sure it’s invisible to the remaining photoreceptors outside the implant,” Palanker said. This design allows patients to use both their natural surrounding vision and the new artificial central vision at the same time, improving their ability to orient themselves and move around.
12. What can be inferred about initial artificial eye devices?
A. They targeted patients with early macular degeneration.
B. They helped patients regain the ability to read.
C. They failed to help patients recognize basic shapes.
D. They tried to rely on visible light to transmit signals.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How the PRIMA system works.
B. How the damaged photoreceptors function.
C. How the infrared light transmits signals.
D. How the smart glasses capture images.
14. Why does the researcher use the infrared light?
A. To improve light sensitivity. B. To cure geographic atrophy.
C. To fit the remaining photoreceptors. D. To avoid affecting natural vision.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A new cure for blindness. B. A new trail for PRIMA.
C. A new hope for AMD patients. D. A new breakthrough for vision.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了斯坦福大学医学院研发的名为PRIMA的微型无线芯片植入物,与智能眼镜结合,帮助晚期老年性黄斑变性患者恢复了形状视觉,为这类失明患者带来了新希望。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第二段“All previous attempts to provide vision with artificial devices resulted in basically light sensitivity, not really form vision.(此前所有用人工设备提供视觉的尝试基本上只实现了感光,而并非真正的形状视觉。)” 可知,早期的人工眼设备无法帮助患者识别基本形状,故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第三段“The system includes two main parts: a small camera attached to a pair of glasses and a wireless chip implanted in the retina. The camera captures visual information and projects it through infrared light to the implant, which turns it into electrical signals.(该系统包括两个主要部分:一副眼镜上的小型摄像头和一个植入视网膜的无线芯片。摄像头捕捉视觉信息,并通过红外线将其投射到植入物,植入物将其转化为电信号。)” 可知,第三段主要介绍PRIMA系统的工作原理,故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第五段““The projection is done by infrared because we want to make sure it’s invisible to the remaining photoreceptors outside the implant,” Palanker said. This design allows patients to use both their natural surrounding vision and the new artificial central vision at the same time, improving their ability to orient themselves and move around.(帕兰卡说:“之所以用红外线投射,是因为我们要确保它对植入物之外的剩余感光细胞不可见。”这一设计使患者能够同时使用其周围的自然视力和新的人工中心视力,从而提升他们的方向感和活动能力。)” 可知,红外线对患者剩余的天然感光器不可见,因此不会干扰患者本身的自然视力,因此使用红外线是为了避免影响患者的自然视力,故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段“A tiny wireless chip placed at the back of the eye, combined with a pair of advanced smart glasses, has partially restored vision to people suffering from an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).(一种放置在眼后部的微型无线芯片,搭配一副先进的智能眼镜,已经为患有晚期老年性黄斑变性的患者部分恢复了视力。)”可知,本文主要介绍了一项能帮助晚期老年性黄斑变性患者恢复部分视力的新技术,为这类患者带来了新希望,故选C。

The Truth about Metabolism (新陈代谢)
If you’ve ever struggled to lose weight, chances are you’ve blamed your metabolism. That mysterious phenomenon we’re told keeps some people effortlessly slim while making weight loss an unwinnable battle for others. ____16____ It’s a twisted version of the story that leaves out the parts that matter most for fat loss.
____17____ For starters, metabolism is more than just “how many calories you burn”. It’s the vast network of chemical reactions inside your cells and tissues that power everything you do. Still, most of us reduce it to a single number: the calories burned at any given time.
That’s where “metabolic rate” comes in — the primary measure of how fast your metabolism is running. In simple terms, it’s the energy you use just lying still, the bare minimum your body needs to keep the lights on. ____18____
Many people think slim individuals have a fast metabolism. They believe this lets them burn calories without effort. ____19____ Metabolic rate is mostly driven by body size — the more there is to maintain, the more energy the body uses.
Even so, body weight alone is a rough measure. Two people weigh the same, but how that weight is made up can make a big difference. The balance between fat and muscle composition shapes metabolic rate too. ____20____ This helps explain why men often have higher metabolic rates than women at the same weight, and why metabolic differences aren’t as dramatic as we think.
A. So what exactly defines metabolism?
B. But that’s not really how the body works.
C. Men have much more active muscle than women.
D. Body size plays a more important role than muscle.
E. Men usually have more muscle and less fat than women.
F. In reality, it’s larger bodies that have faster metabolisms.
G. It’s the key assessment people use to judge their metabolic health.
【答案】16. B 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. E

【17题详解】
下文“For starters, metabolism is more than just ‘how many calories you burn’.(首先,新陈代谢不仅仅是‘你燃烧多少卡路里’。)”具体解释新陈代谢是什么。选项A“那么,新陈代谢究竟是什么?”以设问引出下文对新陈代谢的定义,总领本段。故选A。
【18题详解】
上文“That’s where “metabolic rate” comes in — the primary measure of how fast your metabolism is running. In simple terms, it’s the energy you use just lying still, the bare minimum your body needs to keep the lights on.(这就是“代谢率”的作用所在,它是衡量新陈代谢速度的主要指标。简单来说,它就是你躺着不动时消耗的能量,是身体维持基本运转所需的最低能量。)”介绍了代谢率的含义。选项G“它是人们用来评判自身代谢健康的关键指标。”承接上文内容,说明代谢率的重要作用。故选G。
【19题详解】
上文“Many people think slim individuals have a fast metabolism.(很多人认为苗条的人新陈代谢快。)”介绍了人们的错误认知。下文“Metabolic rate is mostly driven by body size — the more there is to maintain, the more energy the body uses.(代谢率主要由体型决定——需要维持的身体组织越多,身体消耗的能量就越多。)”揭示真相。选项F“事实上,体型更大的人新陈代谢更快。”纠正上文错误观点,与下文衔接紧密。故选F。
【20题详解】
上文“The balance between fat and muscle composition shapes metabolic rate too.(脂肪和肌肉的构成比例也会影响代谢率。)”指出肌肉和脂肪比例对代谢率的影响。下文“This helps explain why men often have higher metabolic rates than women at the same weight.(这有助于解释为什么体重相同的男性代谢率通常高于女性。)”说明该观点能解释男女代谢差异。选项E“男性通常比女性肌肉更多、脂肪更少。”承接上文肌肉脂肪比例的内容,为下文男女差异提供原因。故选E。

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:春节联欢晚会于1983年首次播出,是除夕夜收视率最高的电视节目之一。根据后面宾语Chinese New Year’s Eve可知,此处表示“在除夕夜的时候”, 在某一天的夜晚应使用介词on。故填on。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:这四个生动且形象的吉祥物完美契合了晚会的主题“骐骥驰骋,势不可挡”,与即将到来的马年所蕴含的欢快精神相契合。该空作状语修饰谓语动词fit,提示词perfect为形容词,副词形式为perfectly。故填perfectly。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:它们的设计源于中国历代对马的经典描述,巧妙地将传统之美与现代活力相结合,蕴含着成功和繁荣的象征意义。该空需要名词作宾语,所给词describe为动词,其名词为description,是可数名词,根据后面“across dynasties”可知,这里指多个朝代人们对马的描述,应使用名词复数形式。故填descriptions。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“骐骐”设计灵感源自西周时期一个形似马的青铜酒器。该空修饰名词短语a Western Zhou Dynasty bronze wine vessel,应使用形容词作后置定语,shaped是形容词,意为“具有……形状的”,符合题意。故填shaped。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:其流畅、庄重的外形和深邃的暗蓝色调展现了中国古代马的尊贵象征,代表着雄心和勇气。所给动词represent在句中作非谓语动词,与逻辑主语为主动关系,应使用现在分词形式representing作伴随状语。故填representing。

【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。空处作后置定语修饰courage,the courage to do something意为“做某事的勇气”,所以空处应使用动词不定式形式。故填to face。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:“驰驰”则以著名的唐代“三彩”釉马为原型,该马出土于永泰公主陵墓。空后名词短语celebrated Tang Dynasty “three-color” glaze horse描述的是一件出土文物,需要冠词修饰,此物独一无二,表特指,应填the。故填the。
【44题详解】

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After returning from the emergency room, I soaked my pillow with tears. I had a head-on collision on my way home from work. Miraculously, both vehicles were destroyed but no one was seriously injured. My best friend Lisa, who had always stood by me, rushed to the hospital immediately, holding my hand tightly and whispering comfort, her eyes filled with worry and relief that I was alive.
In the months before the accident, my life had been a whirlwind of confusion and pain. Six months earlier, I was already struggling with a back injury when my husband of seventeen years announced he wanted to separate. Lisa dropped everything that night, brought my favorite hot soup, and sat with me until dawn, letting me cry on her shoulder silently. A month later, my beloved grandmother died from fall complications, and my dad had a stroke the next month. My husband moved out right before Christmas, but Lisa stayed with me through it all. She visited my dad in the hospital with me, helped sort my grandmother’s things, and stayed on Christmas Eve to keep me from being alone.
Now, instead of escaping my troubles, I had new ones: physical pain, minor cosmetic issues, and, even worse, the fear of driving again. Lisa never left my side—she helped me file claims, accompanied me to doctor’s appointments, and gently encouraged me, reminding me I was stronger than I thought. “Do you see it now? You survived a head-on collision without serious injuries. You have gone through so much but your life still has possibilities.” Moved by her words, I refuse to stay broken and decided to emerge better and stronger.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Determined to face my fear of driving, I started with the smallest step.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Months later, I felt an overall change.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Determined to face my fear of driving, I started with the smallest step. I sat in the driver’s seat, hands sweating and heart racing, while Lisa stood beside the car, cheering me on softly. I turned on the engine but kept the car stationary, taking deep breaths to calm my nerves. With her patient encouragement, I slowly drove around the empty parking lot, my hands tightly gripping the steering wheel. Gradually, my fear faded a little, and I managed to drive for ten minutes without stopping. Lisa clapped happily, telling me how proud she was of my courage.
Months later, I felt an overall change. I could drive smoothly on the road again, no longer haunted by the accident. My back pain eased, and I learned to accept the minor cosmetic marks as a reminder of my strength. I reconnected with my dad, who recovered well, and even started a small hobby I’d long ignored. Most importantly, I became more resilient, knowing I could get through any hardship with Lisa’s support. This difficult journey taught me that friendship and courage can turn even the darkest days into a new beginning.
