A Northwestern University-led team of researchers has developed a new fuel cell that harvests energy from microbes (微生物) living in dirt. About the size of a standard paperback book, the soil-powered technology could fuel underground sensors used in modern agriculture and green infrastructure. This could potentially offer a sustainable, renewable alternative to batteries that release harmful chemicals into the ground.
To test the new fuel cell, the researchers used it to power sensors measuring soil condition and detecting touch, a capability that could be valuable for tracking passing animals. To enable wireless communications, the researchers also equipped the soil-powered sensor with a tiny antenna to transmit (传输) data to a neighboring base station by reflecting existing radio frequency signals. Not only did the fuel cell work in both wet and dry conditions, but its power also outlasted similar technologies by 120%.
The research was published on Jan. 12 in the Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies.
“The number of electronic devices used in modern agriculture as a way to improve crop productions is constantly growing,” said Northwestern’s Bill Yen, who led the work. “If we imagine a future with numerous devices like these, we cannot build every one of them out of lithium (锂) and heavy metals that are dangerous to the environment. We need to find alternatives that can provide low amounts of energy to power a widespread network of devices.”
In a search for solutions, the researchers turned to soil microbial fuel cells(MFC), which use special microbes to break down soil and generate a low amount of energy to power sensors. As long as there is organic carbon in the soil for the microbes to break down, the fuel cell can potentially last forever.
“These microbes are common; they already live in soil everywhere,” said Northwestern’s George Wells, a senior author of the study. “We can use very simple engineered systems to collect their electricity. We’re not going to power entire cities with this energy, but we can collect tiny amounts of energy to fuel practical, low-power applications.”
The researchers plan to develop a soil-based MFC made from fully biodegradable (生物可降解的) materials as their next step.
24. What can we know from the new fuel cell?
A. It was not limited by soil conditions.
B. The power it produced increased by 20%.
C. It was made from fully biodegradable materials.
D. It will completely replace conventional batteries soon.
25. What can we infer from Bill Yen’s words in paragraph 4?
A. Electronic devices are widely used in industries.
B It is essential for our environment to develop the new fuel cell.
C. Lithium and heavy metals are dangerous to the environment.
D. Current electronic devices can’t provide large amounts of energy.
26. What is George Wells’ attitude toward the fuel cell?
A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Pessimistic. D. Approving.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Conventional Batteries Are Giving Way to New Fuel Cell.
B. Microbes Can Break Down Soil and Generate Energy.
C. New Fuel Cell Harvests Energy from Microbes in Soil.
D. New Fuel Cell Fuels Underground Sensors in Agriculture.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】

【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““The number of electronic devices used in modern agriculture as a way to improve crop productions is constantly growing,” said Northwestern’s Bill Yen, who led the work. “If we imagine a future with numerous devices like these, we cannot build every one of them out of lithium(锂)and heavy metals that are dangerous to the environment. We need to find alternatives that can provide low amounts of energy to power a widespread network of devices.”(该研究的负责人、西北大学的Bill Yen表示:“现代农业中用于提高作物产量的电子设备数量在不断增加。如果我们设想未来有大量这样的设备,我们不可能都用锂和对环境有害的重金属来制造它们。我们需要找到能为广泛分布的设备网络提供少量电力的替代方案。”)”可知,从Bill Yen提到不能用对环境有害的锂和重金属制造电子设备,且需要寻找替代方案,可以推断出开发这种新型燃料电池对环境来说是很有必要的。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段““These microbes are common; they already live in soil everywhere,” said Northwestern’s George Wells, a senior author of the study. “We can use very simple engineered systems to collect their electricity. We’re not going to power entire cities with this energy, but we can collect tiny amounts of energy to fuel practical, low-power applications.”(该研究的资深作者、西北大学的George Wells说:“这些微生物很常见,它们本就存在于各地的土壤中。我们可以用非常简单的工程系统来收集它们产生的电能。我们无法用这种能源为整个城市供电,但可以收集少量能量为实用的低功率应用设备供电。”)”可知,George Wells肯定了利用土壤中微生物发电的方式以及这种燃料电池在低功率应用方面的实用性,表明他对这种燃料电池持赞成态度。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A Northwestern University-led team of researchers has developed a new fuel cell that harvests energy from microbes(微生物)living in dirt. About the size of a standard paperback book, the soil-powered technology could fuel underground sensors used in modern agriculture and green infrastructure. This could potentially offer a sustainable, renewable alternative to batteries that release harmful chemicals into the ground.(由美国西北大学牵头的一个研究团队研发出一种新型燃料电池,它能从土壤中的微生物获取能量。这种以土壤为动力的技术设备大小与一本标准平装书相当,可为现代农业和绿色基础设施中使用的地下传感器供电。这有可能为那些会向土壤中释放有害化学物质的电池提供一种可持续、可再生的替代方案。)”以及全文内容可知,文章围绕这种新型燃料电池的功能、测试情况、研发背景等方面进行了介绍。选项C“New Fuel Cell Harvests Energy from Microbes in Soil”准确概括了文章的主要内容,即,新型燃料电池从土壤中的微生物获取能量。故选C。
C
A new cross-disciplinary field termed “cosmic (宇宙的) heritage studies” has been proposed by an international team of archaeologists and space physicists. This discipline focuses on identifying, documenting and preserving historical objects from humanity’s ventures into space, treating them as valuable cultural heritage rather than mere space junk.
“The objects we’ve left in space and on other planets and moons tell the story of human technological achievement and exploration spirit,” said Dr. Maria Chen, lead researcher from the European Space Heritage Foundation. “With increasing commercial space activities, these artifacts face never-before-seen risks of damage or destruction if not properly protected.”
The concept builds upon traditional archaeological principles but adapts them to the unique conditions of space environment. Unlike Earth-based archaeology that deals with centuries-old artifacts, cosmic heritage must consider factors like radiation exposure, low-gravity effects, and orbital decay (衰减) that affect preservation.
A central challenge for cosmic heritage researchers involves establishing criteria for what is considered as significant space heritage. “While obviously historically important items like the first satellite Sputnik or Apollo landing sites deserve protection, we also need to consider more recent objects that represent technological milestones,” Dr. Chen explained. The international community currently debates whether to preserve all human-made objects in space or only selected historically significant ones.
The team recommends establishing an international record-keeping system for space artifacts and developing low-impact documentation methods using remote sensing technology. “We’re not suggesting we bring everything back to museums,” Dr. Chen clarified. “In many cases, digital preservation through high-resolution imaging and 3D modeling may be the most practical approach.”
As space becomes increasingly accessible, cosmic heritage studies aim to ensure that future generations can understand and appreciate the material evidence of humanity’s first steps beyond Earth. The researchers hope their work will inform international space policy and promote responsible management of off-Earth cultural resources.
28. Why does Dr. Chen advocate for treating space objects as heritage?
A. For their commercial value. B. For their historical stories.
C. For their rescue urgency. D. For their display potential.
29 How does Dr. Chen view the current protection situation?
A. Urgent due to commercial growth. B. Challenging due to harsh space conditions.
C. Complex due to unclear ownership. D. Manageable with current laws.
30. What is the key challenge mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. Agreeing on preservation technology. B. Setting international protection rules.
C. Finding long-term conservation funds. D. Deciding which objects to protect.
31. What is the principle behind Dr. Chen’s recommended preservation method?
A. Bringing items back to Earth. B. Building bases at sites.
C. Using remote, low-impact tech. D. Making strict space laws.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】

【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A central challenge for cosmic heritage researchers involves establishing criteria for what is considered as significant space heritage.(对于宇宙遗产研究者而言,一个核心挑战在于确立什么样的空间遗产被视为具有重要意义的标准)”可知,第4段中提到的关键挑战是决定保护哪些物品。故选D。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The team recommends establishing an international record-keeping system for space artifacts and developing low-impact documentation methods using remote sensing technology. “We’re not suggesting we bring everything back to museums,” Dr. Chen clarified. “In many cases, digital preservation through high-resolution imaging and 3D modeling may be the most practical approach.”(该团队建议建立一个国际性的太空文物记录系统,并利用遥感技术开发低影响的记录方法。“我们并不是说要把所有东西都带回博物馆,”陈博士解释道,“在很多情况下,通过高分辨率成像和三维建模进行数字化保存可能是最实际的方法。”)”可知,陈博士推荐的保护方法背后的原理是利用远程、低影响技术。故选C。

When someone loses weight, people notice, comment, and ask how. The question implies that whatever method they used is worth knowing, reproducing, or admiring. It positions weight loss as an achievement, a moral victory, a signal of discipline or virtue. But what if their weight loss came from grief, stress, depression or a medication that finally brought balance to their body chemistry?
Our curiosity about how someone lost weight is rarely neutral. Often, it’s rooted in our own insecurity or desire for control. We want to know what works — because culturally, we’ve been taught that managing our bodies is a lifelong project. When we see someone “succeed,” we want the recipe. However, rather than self- improvement projects, our bodies are complex ecosystems — shaped by genetics, hormones, health conditions, socioeconomic factors, medications, and emotions. When we reduce someone’s body to a before- and- after story, we dehumanize them into an object lesson.
The recent explosion of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro has made this question even more controversial. Many people assume any visible change must be drug- related, and they ask with hardly disguised judgment or envy. “Did you use one of those medications?” has become the new “Did you get work done?” The subtext is clear: Did you earn this, or did you cheat?
This framing is not only prejudiced — it’s unscientific. GLP-1 medications are legal medical treatments for conditions like diabetes (糖尿病), metabolic dysfunction, and obesity. Shame has no place in a conversation about health or healing. Yet we’ve moralized weight loss to such an extent that even those who find life-changing relief through medication are made to feel guilty or defensive for it.
We live in a society enthusiastic about Cinderella stories. Weight loss is still treated like a transformation myth. But health and self-worth are not determined by body size, and accomplishments shouldn’t be measured in pounds. When we cease looking into how people lost weight, we start to undo a small but powerful part of that narrative. We give others and ourselves permission to exist without explanation, justification, or public commentary on our bodies.
32. Why do people ask about weight loss methods?
A. To manage their desire for control.
B. To address their own body image anxiety.
C. To identify effects of weight medications.
D. To study human body ecosystems closely.
33. What does the underlined word “framing” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Avoiding controversial questions.
B. Building support structures.
C. Labelling medication as cheating.
D. Misjudging health conditions.
34. Which statement would the author probably agree with?
A. Weight loss signals discipline and virtue.
B. Medications are universal health solutions.
C. Dieters should defend their own rights.
D Self-worth is independent of body size.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Celebrating Body Changes
B. Psychology of Losing Weight
C. Stop Judging Weight Loss
D. Medical Solutions to Overweight
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了社会对“减肥”现象的过度关注和道德化评判,批判了以体型衡量个人价值的社会观念。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一、二句“Our curiosity about how someone lost weight is rarely neutral. Often, it’s rooted in our own insecurity or desire for control. (我们对他人如何减肥的好奇心鲜少是不带立场的。它常常植根于我们自身的不安全感或对控制感的渴望)”可知,人们询问减肥方法,并非出于单纯的好奇,其深层动机是为了应对自身的不安全感,即对自己形象的焦虑,或寻求一种能掌控自己身体的方法。由此推知,人们询问减肥方法是为了解决他们自身的身体形象焦虑。故选B项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段最后两句““Did you use one of those medications?” has become the new “Did you get work done?” The subtext is clear: Did you earn this, or did you cheat? (“你用过那些药吗?” 已经变成了新版的“你整容了吗?”潜台词很明确:这是你努力得来的,还是你作弊了?)”及第四段第一句“This framing is not only prejudiced — it’s unscientific. (这种framing不仅是偏见——也是不科学的)”可知,这里的“framing”指的是上文将使用药物减肥视为“作弊”,这种带有道德评判的偏见的界定方式。因此,“framing”在此处是指将药物治疗贴上“作弊”的标签。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第三句“But health and self-worth are not determined by body size, and accomplishments shouldn’t be measured in pounds. (但健康和自我价值并非由体型决定,成就也不该用磅来衡量)”和最后一句“We give others and ourselves permission to exist without explanation, justification, or public commentary on our bodies. (我们允许他人和自己无需为身体的存在而解释、辩解或接受公众评论)”可知,作者认为自我价值不应与体型挂钩,人们有权在不被评判的情况下存在。由此推知,作者会赞同“自我价值独立于体型”这一观点。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,第一段提出人们总是询问减肥方法的现象并对此提出质疑;第二段分析了这种好奇心背后的心理动机;第三段指出新型减肥药物使这一提问更具争议性;第四段批判了将药物减肥视为“作弊”的偏见;最后一段呼吁停止追问“如何减肥”,因为健康与自我价值不由体型决定,人们有权不因身体而受评判。文章的核心观点是呼吁人们停止对他人的减肥过程和身材变化进行道德评判。由此可知,选项C“Stop Judging Weight Loss(停止评判减肥)”准确地概括了文章的主旨,适合作本文标题。故选C项。

Social jetlag happens when your sleep schedule conflicts with the schedule of society, and it affects many people. ____36____ Over time, this mismatch between your internal clock and society’s demands can lead to a range of health problems.
The term ‘social jetlag’ was coined by Professor Till Roenneberg in 2006. Your “chronotype” — a biological trait that determines whether you’re an early bird (lark), a night owl, or somewhere in between — plays a significant role in this. For example, larks feel most alert early in the morning, ____37____ If you fall somewhere in the middle, the situation might be more moderate.
However, modern life, with its early start times for work and school, often forces people to wake up before their bodies are ready. ____38____ Studies have shown that individuals with chronic social jetlag face an increased risk of various health problems, including metabolic issues and high stress levels.
____39____ To minimize the effects, experts suggest that people spend more time outdoors during the day, exposing themselves to natural light, which can help regulate their sleep cycles. In an ideal world, our schedules would be based on our chronotype, allowing us to work when we’re naturally at our best. Until then, it’s essential to be mindful of how early wake-ups and late nights affect our well-being. ____40____
A. It’s the result of waking up earlier than your body or staying up too late.
B. while owls function better later in the day.
C. while their energy at night will be much less than that during the day.
D. If possible, harmonize your schedule with your body’s natural rhythm to reduce social jetlag.
E. However, it is not an unsolvable predicament.
F. It’s a mismatch that severely impact individual health.
G. This can lead to poor sleep, low productivity, and even health issues like obesity and diabetes.

A chance encounter
Jessica, a writer with a long-held dream, felt her hope slipping away. For years, she had worked on a book about a special local sports story. It was about a small-town basketball team’s amazing journey to the state finals. She believed it could encourage many, but after countless rewrites, every publisher still said no. The dream began to feel impossible.
One quiet morning, hoping to find some fresh ideas, she put on the shirt with a picture of her favourite music band and took her notebook to the bookstore downstairs that housed a café. The smell of coffee and paper always comforted her. However, the main area was crowded, so she found a chair between the cooking and travel shelves. She settled in and lost herself in creation.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted her. “Excuse me, miss,” an old man said softly. He was reaching for a cookbook on the shelf behind her and needed her to move her chair slightly. As she shifted to make room, she noticed his sweatshirt had the same picture as her shirt. Obviously, he noticed it too. They exchanged a smile and began to talk.
As the talk went on, Jessica learned that the old man named John was a writer too, and had even published books with his wife. Encouraged by his kindness and experience, Jessica finally gathered the courage to share her own dream — the book about the basketball team. Once she started, the words poured out. She told him about the hard work she had put into the book. “Publishers keep saying no,” she sighed. “I’m out of energy.”
John leaned in, gentle but firm. “Why wait for them? That story’s too good to be forgotten. Publish it yourself.” He stressed that her book was worth all the effort she’d put in, and told her not to let others’ “no” stop her from following her dream.
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。
Jessica was surprised by John’s self-publishing suggestion.

A Northwestern University-led team of researchers has developed a new fuel cell that harvests energy from microbes (微生物) living in dirt. About the size of a standard paperback book, the soil-powered technology could fuel underground sensors used in modern agriculture and green infrastructure. This could potentially offer a sustainable, renewable alternative to batteries that release harmful chemicals into the ground.
To test the new fuel cell, the researchers used it to power sensors measuring soil condition and detecting touch, a capability that could be valuable for tracking passing animals. To enable wireless communications, the researchers also equipped the soil-powered sensor with a tiny antenna to transmit (传输) data to a neighboring base station by reflecting existing radio frequency signals. Not only did the fuel cell work in both wet and dry conditions, but its power also outlasted similar technologies by 120%.
The research was published on Jan. 12 in the Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies.
“The number of electronic devices used in modern agriculture as a way to improve crop productions is constantly growing” said Northwestern’s Bill Yen, who led the work. “If we imagine a future with numerous devices like these, we cannot build every one of them out of lithium (锂) and heavy metals that are dangerous to the environment. We need to find alternatives that can provide low amounts of energy to power a widespread network of devices.”
In a search for solutions, the researchers turned to soil microbial fuel cells(MFC), which use special microbes to break down soil and generate a low amount of energy to power sensors. As long as there is organic carbon in the soil for the microbes to break down, the fuel cell can potentially last forever.
“These microbes are common; they already live in soil everywhere,” said Northwestern’s George Wells, a senior author of the study. “We can use very simple engineered systems to collect their electricity. We’re not going to power entire cities with this energy, but we can collect tiny amounts of energy to fuel practical, low-power applications.”
The researchers plan to develop a soil-based MFC made from fully biodegradable (生物可降解的) materials as their next step.
24. What can we know from the new fuel cell?
A. It was not limited by soil conditions.
B. The power it produced increased by 20%.
C. It was made from fully biodegradable materials.
D. It will completely replace conventional batteries soon.
25. What can we infer from Bill Yen’s words in paragraph 4?
A. Electronic devices are widely used in industries.
B. It is essential for our environment to develop the new fuel cell.
C. Lithium and heavy metals are dangerous to the environment.
D. Current electronic devices can’t provide large amounts of energy.
26. What is George Wells’ attitude toward the fuel cell?
A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Pessimistic. D. Approving.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Conventional Batteries Are Giving Way to New Fuel Cell.
B. Microbes Can Break Down Soil and Generate Energy.
C. New Fuel Cell Harvests Energy from Microbes in Soil.
D. New Fuel Cell Fuels Underground Sensors in Agriculture.

A new cross-disciplinary field termed “cosmic (宇宙的) heritage studies” has been proposed by an international team of archaeologists and space physicists. This discipline focuses on identifying, documenting and preserving historical objects from humanity’s ventures into space, treating them as valuable cultural heritage rather than mere space junk.
“The objects we’ve left in space and on other planets and moons tell the story of human technological achievement and exploration spirit,” said Dr. Maria Chen, lead researcher from the European Space Heritage Foundation. “With increasing commercial space activities, these artifacts face never-before-seen risks of damage or destruction if not properly protected.”
The concept builds upon traditional archaeological principles but adapts them to the unique conditions of space environment. Unlike Earth-based archaeology that deals with centuries-old artifacts, cosmic heritage must consider factors like radiation exposure, low-gravity effects, and orbital decay (衰减) that affect preservation.
A central challenge for cosmic heritage researchers involves establishing criteria for what is considered as significant space heritage. “While obviously historically important items like the first satellite Sputnik or Apollo landing sites deserve protection, we also need to consider more recent objects that represent technological milestones,” Dr. Chen explained. The international community currently debates whether to preserve all human-made objects in space or only selected historically significant ones.
The team recommends establishing an international record-keeping system for space artifacts and developing low-impact documentation methods using remote sensing technology. “We’re not suggesting we bring everything back to museums,” Dr. Chen clarified. “In many cases, digital preservation through high-resolution imaging and 3D modeling may be the most practical approach.”
As space becomes increasingly accessible, cosmic heritage studies aim to ensure that future generations can understand and appreciate the material evidence of humanity’s first steps beyond Earth. The researchers hope their work will inform international space policy and promote responsible management of off-Earth cultural resources.
28. Why does Dr. Chen advocate for treating space objects as heritage?
A. For their commercial value. B. For their historical stories.
C. For their rescue urgency. D. For their display potential.
29. How does Dr. Chen view the current protection situation?
A. Urgent due to commercial growth. B. Challenging due to harsh space conditions.
C. Complex due to unclear ownership. D. Manageable with current laws.
30. What is the key challenge mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. Agreeing on preservation technology. B. Setting international protection rules.
C. Finding long-term conservation funds. D. Deciding which objects to protect.
31. What is the principle behind Dr. Chen’s recommended preservation method?
A. Bringing items back to Earth. B. Building bases at sites.
C. Using remote, low-impact tech. D. Making strict space laws.

When someone loses weight, people notice, comment, and ask how. The question implies that whatever method they used is worth knowing, reproducing, or admiring. It positions weight loss as an achievement, a moral victory, a signal of discipline or virtue. But what if their weight loss came from grief, stress, depression or a medication that finally brought balance to their body chemistry?
Our curiosity about how someone lost weight is rarely neutral. Often, it’s rooted in our own insecurity or desire for control. We want to know what works — because culturally, we’ve been taught that managing our bodies is a lifelong project. When we see someone “succeed,” we want the recipe. However, rather than self- improvement projects, our bodies are complex ecosystems — shaped by genetics, hormones, health conditions, socioeconomic factors, medications, and emotions. When we reduce someone’s body to a before- and- after story, we dehumanize them into an object lesson.
The recent explosion of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro has made this question even more controversial. Many people assume any visible change must be drug- related, and they ask with hardly disguised judgment or envy. “Did you use one of those medications?” has become the new “Did you get work done?” The subtext is clear: Did you earn this, or did you cheat?
This framing is not only prejudiced — it’s unscientific. GLP-1 medications are legal medical treatments for conditions like diabetes (糖尿病), metabolic dysfunction, and obesity. Shame has no place in a conversation about health or healing. Yet we’ve moralized weight loss to such an extent that even those who find life-changing relief through medication are made to feel guilty or defensive for it.
We live in a society enthusiastic about Cinderella stories. Weight loss is still treated like a transformation myth. But health and self-worth are not determined by body size, and accomplishments shouldn’t be measured in pounds. When we cease looking into how people lost weight, we start to undo a small but powerful part of that narrative. We give others and ourselves permission to exist without explanation, justification, or public commentary on our bodies.
32. Why do people ask about weight loss methods?
A. To manage their desire for control.
B To address their own body image anxiety.
C. To identify effects of weight medications.
D. To study human body ecosystems closely.
33. What does the underlined word “framing” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Avoiding controversial questions.
B. Building support structures.
C. Labelling medication as cheating.
D. Misjudging health conditions.
34. Which statement would the author probably agree with?
A. Weight loss signals discipline and virtue.
B Medications are universal health solutions.
C. Dieters should defend their own rights.
D. Self-worth is independent of body size.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Celebrating Body Changes
B. Psychology of Losing Weight
C. Stop Judging Weight Loss
D. Medical Solutions to Overweight

Social jetlag happens when your sleep schedule conflicts with the schedule of society, and it affects many people. ____36____ Over time, this mismatch between your internal clock and society’s demands can lead to a range of health problems.
The term ‘social jetlag’ was coined by Professor Till Roenneberg in 2006. Your “chronotype” — a biological trait that determines whether you’re an early bird (lark), a night owl, or somewhere in between — plays a significant role in this. For example, larks feel most alert early in the morning, ____37____ If you fall somewhere in the middle, the situation might be more moderate.
However, modern life, with its early start times for work and school, often forces people to wake up before their bodies are ready. ____38____ Studies have shown that individuals with chronic social jetlag face an increased risk of various health problems, including metabolic issues and high stress levels.
____39____ To minimize the effects, experts suggest that people spend more time outdoors during the day, exposing themselves to natural light, which can help regulate their sleep cycles. In an ideal world, our schedules would be based on our chronotype, allowing us to work when we’re naturally at our best. Until then, it’s essential to be mindful of how early wake-ups and late nights affect our well-being. ____40____
A. It’s the result of waking up earlier than your body or staying up too late.
B. while owls function better later in the day.
C. while their energy at night will be much less than that during the day.
D. If possible, harmonize your schedule with your body’s natural rhythm to reduce social jetlag.
E. However, it is not an unsolvable predicament.
F. It’s a mismatch that severely impact individual health.
G. This can lead to poor sleep, low productivity, and even health issues like obesity and diabetes.

A chance encounter
Jessica, a writer with a long-held dream, felt her hope slipping away. For years, she had worked on a book about a special local sports story. It was about a small-town basketball team’s amazing journey to the state finals. She believed it could encourage many, but after countless rewrites, every publisher still said no. The dream began to feel impossible.
One quiet morning, hoping to find some fresh ideas, she put on the shirt with a picture of her favourite music band and took her notebook to the bookstore downstairs that housed a café. The smell of coffee and paper always comforted her. However, the main area was crowded, so she found a chair between the cooking and travel shelves. She settled in and lost herself in creation.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted her. “Excuse me, miss,” an old man said softly. He was reaching for a cookbook on the shelf behind her and needed her to move her chair slightly. As she shifted to make room, she noticed his sweatshirt had the same picture as her shirt. Obviously, he noticed it too. They exchanged a smile and began to talk.
As the talk went on, Jessica learned that the old man named John was a writer too, and had even published books with his wife. Encouraged by his kindness and experience, Jessica finally gathered the courage to share her own dream — the book about the basketball team. Once she started, the words poured out. She told him about the hard work she had put into the book. “Publishers keep saying no,” she sighed. “I’m out of energy.”
John leaned in, gentle but firm. “Why wait for them? That story’s too good to be forgotten. Publish it yourself.” He stressed that her book was worth all the effort she’d put in, and told her not to let others’ “no” stop her from following her dream.
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。
Jessica was surprised by John’s self-publishing suggestion.

At her book signing event, Jessica saw John in the line.
