But Faith O’Reilly, an 82-year-old grandma based in Colorado, is ready to challenge this idea. She’ll soon get to showcase her abilities at a national competition. Born in St. Louis, O’Reilly moved with her family to Des Moines. She then attended the University of Iowa, where she discovered weightlifting. “While I was in law school I kind of fell in with some people who were doing weightlifting, and they invited me to go to a powerlifting meet with them,” she said. “I was watching it and thought, ‘Well, I can do that.’” And she indeed did it. O’Reilly committed to the sport, even winning multiple state championships. However, a career move to St. Paul, Minnesota, resulted in her having less and less time to practice, eventually leading her to drop lifting altogether. Upon her retirement in 2007, O’Reilly rediscovered her love for the sport. Having fallen in love with Saguache, a small town in Colorado, during previous travels with her granddaughter, she settled there. With more free time and surrounded by green landscapes and fresh air, she started lifting again. She even has her own gym set up with special safety bars, allowing her to train on her own time and terms. Now, she has joined the impressive ranks of 95-year-old lifter Catherine Kuehn and 81-year-old Nora Langdon. Having reaped (收获) the benefits of this discipline, O’Reilly recommends it not just for seniors, but everyone who is able to practice it. “It’s overall good for you physically, and as you age you can have problems with bone density and losing muscle tone (肌张力),” she says. “So this helps you stay fit.” O’Reilly last competed at the 2024 Summer Showdown and Team Cup in Colorado, where she was the oldest competitor overall. “Besides the workout, it gives you the chance to be involved in an athletic adventure, and the people that do this are a very open and friendly group of people,” O’Reilly says about competing. “You make a lot of connections and get support.” 4. What inspired O’Reilly to take up powerlifting? A. Her need for physical activity in Colorado. B. Her desire to challenge the traditional belief. C. Her experience of watching a powerlifting meet. D. Her granddaughter’s advice on staying healthy. 5. Why did O’Reilly stop powerlifting for a period of time? A. She lost interest in the sport at the time. B. Her muscle tone was fading in St. Paul. C. Her new job left her insufficient time to practice. D. She preferred outdoor activities in a green landscape. 6. What does O’Reilly say about powerlifting competitions? A. They are extremely challenging. B. They encourage social connections. C. They are too dangerous for seniors. D. They require expensive equipment. 7. What is the main message delivered by O’Reilly’s story? A. Fame favors the young. B. Strength knows no age. C. Competition builds confidence. D. True leisure begins with retirement. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了82岁老奶奶Faith O’Reilly坚持参加力量举重比赛的故事，展现了年龄不是限制，力量不分年龄的精神。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“While I was in law school I kind of fell in with some people who were doing weightlifting, and they invited me to go to a powerlifting meet with them,” she said. “I was watching it and thought, ‘Well, I can do that.’” (她说：“在法学院时，我结识了一些练举重的人，他们邀请我一起去看一场力量举重比赛。我看着比赛心想：‘嗯，我也能做到。’”)”可知，观看力量举重比赛的经历激励O’Reilly开始从事这项运动。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, a career move to St. Paul, Minnesota, resulted in her having less and less time to practice, eventually leading her to drop lifting altogether. (然而，一次职业调动让她搬到了明尼苏达州的圣保罗，导致她练习的时间越来越少，最终完全放弃了举重。)”可知，O’Reilly因新工作导致练习时间不足而暂时停止了力量举。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Besides the workout, it gives you the chance to be involved in an athletic adventure, and the people that do this are a very open and friendly group of people,” O’Reilly says about competing. “You make a lot of connections and get support.” (O’Reilly在谈到比赛时说：“除了锻炼之外，它还让你有机会参与一项运动冒险，而从事这项运动的人是一个非常开放和友好的群体。你会建立很多联系并得到支持。”)”可知，O’Reilly认为力量举重比赛能够促进社交联系。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“Powerlifting, a strength sport focused on lifting the most weight possible, is often seen as a sport for young and muscular athletes. But Faith O’Reilly, an 82-year-old grandma based in Colorado, is ready to challenge this idea. (力量举重是一项以举起最大重量为目标的体能运动，通常被视为年轻、肌肉发达的运动员的运动。但住在科罗拉多州的82岁奶奶Faith O’Reilly准备挑战这一观念。)”以及后文讲述她坚持训练、参加比赛并从中获益的故事可知，O’Reilly的故事传达的主要信息是：力量不分年龄。故选B项。 C Preserving threatened coral reefs is no longer enough. Now, we must help build new ones, say Ja Young Kim, 17, and Jiho Kong, 19. They’ve just designed one new option: robotic nurseries to attract and nurture baby corals. Jiho and Ja Young live in Saipan, which is “a beautiful place that is surrounded by the ocean,” notes Jiho. Dying coral is “not just a story that we hear from newsletters or books,” Ja Young says. For her, the problem can’t be ignored. So she and Jiho teamed up to build robotic apartment complexes for baby coral. Their system consists of two types of cells. The first offers a safe harbor for coral larvae (幼虫). They can attach to these “coral cells” and grow. The second are power cells. These similarly shaped units can drive the coral-housing units. Each power cell “has a propeller (推进器),” Ja Young points out, and runs on solar energy. So power cells can push coral cells to the perfect nursery location. Once they arrive, these cells can link together. A chain connects them to the ocean floor. This ensures they won’t drift away. To advertise the fact that housing units have arrived, the cell sings a song. This “special soundscape,” Ja Young explains, “can attract the coral larvae onto the structure.” Once they arrive, the tiny larvae begin setting up a new artificial reef. However, this apartment complex can do something natural reefs can’t. It can flee danger. Jiho linked the cells to the internet so they can receive ocean data. Their system’s power cells use these data to make decisions. If a dangerous storm approaches, these cells will know. They can turn on their propellers and head for safer waters. Each cell costs about $120 to make. That’s far less than similar technologies. The coral apartments must still undergo ocean tests. Models show a lot of promise. However, unseen problems could occur. Ja Young expects their new invention will do more than try to preserve the past. She believes it will build a more colorful future. 8. What does Ja Young and Jiho’s invention mainly focus on? A. Removing pollution in the areas around coral reefs. B. Monitoring the life cycle of coral reefs under stress. C. Creating a permanent alternative to natural coral reefs. D. Providing a mobile and nursery habitat for baby coral. 9. What is the function of the first type of cells? A. To transport coral cells to a suitable location. B. To deliver danger warnings through music. C. To collect data on ocean conditions. D. To support the growth of coral larvae. 10. What does the author try to explain in paragraph 5? A. The danger avoidance ability of the artificial reef. B. The ways of communication between coral reefs. C. The challenges of coral reefs’ restoration work. D. The limitations of current artificial coral reefs. 11. What is Ja Young’s attitude towards the new invention? A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Conservative. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了两位青少年设计的机器人珊瑚培育装置，可为珊瑚幼虫提供可移动培育栖息地，还能躲避危险，成本较低且前景良好。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They’ve just designed one new option: robotic nurseries to attract and nurture baby corals. (他们刚刚设计了一个新方案：机器人苗圃，用于吸引和培育珊瑚幼虫)”以及第三段中“Their system consists of two types of cells. The first offers a safe harbor for coral larvae (幼虫) . They can attach to these “coral cells” and grow. The second are power cells. These similarly shaped units can drive the coral-housing units. Each power cell “has a propeller (推进器),” Ja Young points out, and runs on solar energy. So power cells can push coral cells to the perfect nursery location. (他们的系统由两个单元构成。第一个为珊瑚幼虫提供安全的栖息地——这些“珊瑚单元”可供幼虫附着并生长。第二个是动力单元，这些造型相似的装置能够驱动珊瑚单元运行。据Ja Young介绍，每个动力单元都配备推进器并以太阳能为能源，因此可以将珊瑚单元推送至最理想的培育地点。)”可推知，Ja Young和Jiho的发明主要聚焦于为幼年珊瑚提供可移动的培育栖息地。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The first offers a safe harbor for coral larvae (幼虫). They can attach to these “coral cells” and grow. (第一个为珊瑚幼虫提供安全的栖息地——这些“珊瑚单元”可供幼虫附着并生长。)”可知，第一个单元的作用是支撑珊瑚幼虫生长。故选D项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中“However, this apartment complex can do something natural reefs can’t. It can flee danger. (然而，这个培育装置能做到天然珊瑚礁做不到的事，它可以躲避危险。)”以及后文对躲避危险原理的介绍可知，本段主要解释人工珊瑚礁的避险能力。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ja Young expects their new invention will do more than try to preserve the past. She believes it will build a more colorful future. (Ja Young期望他们的新发明不仅仅是保护过去，她相信它将创造一个更加丰富多彩的未来。)”可知，Ja Young对新发明持乐观态度。故选C项。 D Jason Wood was sitting in a restaurant on vacation, angry and upset because he couldn’t replace pita (皮塔饼) with fresh vegetables in his plate. He was told the menu couldn’t be altered. Wood has orthorexia, an eating disorder that isn’t in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) , which is the formal guide for clinical assessment of mental health conditions. But clinicians are seeing a rise in orthorexia among patients, said therapist Jennifer Rollin. Orthorexia is a fixation on eating “clean,” as defined by a set of rules dependent on certain individuals and the context they live in, said Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, an eating disorder physician. A November 2023 study found that about 3 in 10 participants showed signs of orthorexia. Often, this disorder goes unnoticed or underestimated because it’s focused on healthy eating, said Wood, director of community engagement at the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders. Over the years, Wood said his list of unhealthy foods grew and those considered healthy kept shrinking (缩小) until he found himself leaving parties because he couldn’t find anything he would allow himself to eat — and that left him with a lot of anxiety, he said. The motivations people with orthorexia may have, as well as the approbation society gives them, might be labeled as health promotion or disease prevention, but often they are excuses for a “pure, old-fashioned diet culture,” which prioritizes one ideal body shape and size, Gaudiani said. If you or a loved one needs help for orthorexia, the good news is that treatment follows a similar path to established plans for eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia nervosa. “People with orthorexia may find themselves with a team that includes therapists and dietitians, similar to patients in treatment for other eating disorders,” Rollin said. “But those living with orthorexia will also likely face the added layer of unpacking their definition of health and reframing their ideas around it in a challenging way,” she added. 12. Why was Jason Wood annoyed while he was on vacation? A. His special dietary request was refused. B. His vacation plans were altered unexpectedly. C. He was charged extra for the restaurant service. D. He found it challenging to make food decisions. 13. Why does orthorexia often go unnoticed according to Jason Wood? A. It is a time-honored way of living. B. It is often self-defined by individuals. C. It rarely leads to severe health issues. D. It places a high value on a healthy diet. 14. What does the underlined word “approbation” in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Concern. B. Promise. C. Praise. D. Intolerance. 15. What challenge does Jennifer Rollin think orthorexia patients face? A. Adapting to unfamiliar dietary plans. B. Reframing their understanding of health. C. Finding a specialist treating eating disorders. D. Balancing treatment with daily responsibilities. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以Jason Wood为例，介绍了健康食品强迫症这种饮食失调症，包括其表现、易被忽视的原因、社会认知及治疗面临的挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jason Wood was sitting in a restaurant on vacation, angry and upset because he couldn’t replace pita (皮塔饼) with fresh vegetables in his plate. He was told the menu couldn’t be altered. (Jason Wood度假时坐在一家餐厅里，又生气又沮丧，因为他不能把盘子里的皮塔饼换成新鲜蔬菜。他被告知菜单不能更改。)”可知，Jason Wood生气是因为他特殊的饮食要求被拒绝了。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Often, this disorder goes unnoticed or underestimated because it’s focused on healthy eating, said Wood (伍德说，这种疾病往往不被注意或低估，因为它专注于健康饮食)”可知，这种饮食失调症易被忽视是因为它高度重视健康饮食。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The motivations people with orthorexia may have, as well as the approbation society gives them, might be labeled as health promotion or disease prevention, but often they are excuses for a “pure, old-fashioned diet culture (健康食品强迫症患者的动机以及社会对他们的approbation，或许会被冠以 “促进健康”或“预防疾病” 之名，但这些往往只是为所谓“纯粹传统饮食文化”找借口)”中“be labeled as health promotion or disease prevention”可推知，社会对健康食品强迫症患者的行为是一种认可或赞扬。故划线词意为“赞扬；认可”，与“Praise”同义。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But those living with orthorexia will also likely face the added layer of unpacking their definition of health and reframing their ideas around it in a challenging way (但那些患有健康饮食强迫症的人还可能面临另一层挑战：以困难的方式解构他们对健康的定义，并重新构建关于健康的观念)”可知，詹妮弗·罗林认为患者面临的挑战是重新构建他们对健康的理解。故选B项。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With holidays slowly winding down, many of you may be hoping to use the last of that sweet vacation time to get out of town and visit friends and family. ____16____ Elaine Swann, who runs The Swann School of Protocol, an etiquette training program, shares her rules on how to be a guest who gets invited back. Ask early and respect the answer. The rule comes with a few caveats (告诫), Swann says. ____17____ Also, don’t automatically assume they can host you just because you asked “Make sure you’re prepared for the answer to be yes or no, and accept and respect whatever answer they give you,” Swann adds. Keep your visit short and sweet. Four days and three nights is generally ideal, Swann says. ____18____ It’s long enough to spend quality time together but short enough to be over before anyone can feel too crowded or frustrated. ____19____ Is your friend’s family the type that loves to cook for people, or should you plan to get your own meals? Make your host aware of any relevant information for your visit, like allergies or specific physical needs for your stay. Understand “Make yourself at home” the right way. When a host tells you to make yourself at home, that doesn’t mean you should put your feet on the couch or eat all the snacks in the kitchen. Swann says that’s generally a cue to take care of yourself — you don’t have to ask if you want a drink of water or an extra napkin. But as a houseguest, you still want to be your best, most respectful self. ____20____ A. Give your host at least three weeks’ notice. B. Be communicative about the specifics of your stay. C. Instead, maybe booking a nearby hotel is a good choice. D. But how do you ensure that your presence in someone else’s home feels like a gift? E. Are you hoping your friends can take some time off to hit the theme park with you? F. Offer to do the dishes, take out the trash, treat your host to a meal — or all of them. G. Unless you’re visiting for a larger occasion, a long-weekend-type visit is a sweet spot. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. G 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了礼仪专家Elaine Swann给出的做客礼仪规则，帮助人们成为受欢迎的客人。 【16题详解】 上文“With holidays slowly winding down, many of you may be hoping to use the last of that sweet vacation time to get out of town and visit friends and family.(随着假期慢慢接近尾声，你们中的许多人可能希望利用最后美好的假期时间出城拜访亲朋好友)”引出假期拜访亲友的话题，D选项“But how do you ensure that your presence in someone else’s home feels like a gift?(但你如何确保自己在别人家里的出现会像一份礼物一样受欢迎呢)”以转折问句引出下文关于做客礼仪的内容，上下文语意衔接自然。故选D项。 【17题详解】 本段主题为“Ask early and respect the answer.(提前询问并尊重对方的答复)”，A选项“Give your host at least three weeks’ notice.(至少提前三周通知主人)”具体阐释了提前询问的做法，下文“Also, don’t automatically assume they can host you just because you asked (另外，不要因为你问了就想当然地认为他们能接待你)”进一步补充其他注意事项，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 【18题详解】 上文“Four days and three nights is generally ideal, Swann says.(斯旺说，四天三晚通常是理想的时长)”，G选项“Unless you’re visiting for a larger occasion, a long-weekend-type visit is a sweet spot.(除非你是为了更重要的场合拜访，否则长周末式的拜访时长恰到好处)”承接上文对拜访时长的说明，进一步解释该时长的合理性，与后文“It’s long enough to spend quality time together but short enough to be over before anyone can feel too crowded or frustrated.(这个时长足够一起度过美好时光，又不会长到让人感到拥挤或沮丧)”相呼应。故选G项。 【19题详解】 下文“Is your friend’s family the type that loves to cook for people, or should you plan to get your own meals? Make your host aware of any relevant information for your visit, like allergies or specific physical needs for your stay.(你朋友的家人是喜欢为客人做饭的类型，还是你应该自己准备饭菜?让主人知道你拜访的相关信息，比如过敏或住宿期间的特殊身体需求)”介绍了拜访时要与主人沟通饮食、身体状况等细节，B选项“Be communicative about the specifics of your stay.(沟通你拜访期间的具体事宜)”能够概括本段内容，作为段落主旨句。故选B项。 【20题详解】 上文“But as a houseguest, you still want to be your best, most respectful self.(但作为客人，你依然要表现出最好、最有礼貌的样子)”指出作为客人要表现好，F选项“Offer to do the dishes, take out the trash, treat your host to a meal — or all of them.(主动帮忙洗碗、倒垃圾、请主人吃饭——或者全部都做)”具体列举了礼貌做客的行为，是对上文内容的补充说明，逻辑通顺。故选F项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A few weeks ago, while accidentally listening to a radio programme, a piece about laughter caught my ear.

At 16 years old, Charlie and Thomas wanted pools and roller coasters, not UNESCO heritage sites or cooking with strangers. But my wife, Cecilia, and I had different plans. I’d booked cultural experiences that would push them beyond their comfort zones, including a cooking class in the rural mountain town of Ella. They reacted as if they were being assigned homework for their holidays. I didn’t know if they would warm to the experiences I had in store. But on our morning at Sigiriya, their complaints about climbing the ancient rock fortress (城堡) had disappeared by the time we reached the top and saw the sweeping views across the jungle. At Priya Cookery Class, the real challenge began. My kids’ cooking skills peaked at burning toast. Now, they were being asked to prepare dishes they would’ve refused to try at any restaurant back home. On one of Ella’s hillside streets, 12 of us gathered around gas burners to make eight traditional Sri Lankan dishes. The group, a diverse bunch, included backpackers, retirees and honeymooners. My twins were clearly the youngest. Our instructor explained that we’d be preparing everything from chicken curry (咖喱鸡) to beetroot sambal (甜菜根辣椒酱) with everyone helping with every dish. This approach meant my kids found themselves cooking alongside brave backpackers and retired couples. Something clicked around the pot. The backpackers were fascinated by my teenagers’ perspectives, while Charlie and Thomas were absorbed in their wild stories of adventure in Southeast Asia. “You guys are so lucky,” a Canadian backpacker told Charlie as they worked on the dishes together. “I wish my parents had taken me to places like this when I was your age.” I could see Charlie perk up (振奋). This experienced traveler thought what he was doing was cool. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 By the time we sat down to enjoy the dishes, my sons were deep in conversation with strangers. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three weeks after we returned home, Charlie announced that he would make Sri Lankan curry for the family’s dinner. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 By the time we sat down to enjoy the dishes, my sons were deep in conversation with strangers. They were asking follow-up questions about crowded hotels and border crossings, their voices filled with genuine interest and excitement. They photographed every dish with obvious pride, as if each dish was a ceremony of growth, celebrating their newfound independence. They eagerly tasted each dish, discussing flavors with their new friends and laughing at the mispronunciation of the names of the dishes. They were no longer the reluctant teens I’d dragged into “boring” activities. Three weeks after we returned home, Charlie announced that he would make Sri Lankan curry for the family’s dinner. As we waited and waited, and Thomas teased his brother for taking forever while claiming he could’ve cooked it in half the time, I was just proud that Charlie was trying. As the hours dragged on and several attempts failed, I quietly went to a nearby store for backup supplies. We finally ate dinner at 9:30 p.m., but nobody complained. Watching Charlie serve his imperfect but edible curry, I could tell the trip had changed something. Now, Thomas is researching backpacking routes through Europe. I know exactly where that idea came from. 【解析】 【导语】本文以旅行为线索展开，讲述父母带原本抗拒文化体验的双胞胎儿子去斯里兰卡，在烹饪课上，儿子们和背包客等交流后态度逐渐转变。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我们坐下来享用菜肴时，我的儿子们正和陌生人聊得热火朝天。”可知，第一段可描写儿子们和新朋友们交流时的投入状态，展现他们从抗拒到享受的态度转变。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们回家三周后，查理宣布他要为全家做斯里兰卡咖喱当晚餐。”可知，第二段可描写查理尝试做菜的过程，以及这次旅行给兄弟俩带来的后续改变。 2. 续写线索：畅谈旅行经历——转变态度享美食——尝试复刻咖喱菜——萌生旅行新想法 3. 词汇激活： 行类 ①拍照：photograph/take a picture of ②庆祝：celebrate/observe ③嘲笑：tease/ridicule 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②不情愿：reluctant/unwilling 【点睛】[高分句型1] They were asking follow-up questions about crowded hotels and border crossings, their voices filled with genuine interest and excitement.(运用了独立主格结构伴随状语) [高分句型2] As we waited and waited, and Thomas teased his brother for taking forever while claiming he could’ve cooked it in half the time, I was just proud that Charlie was trying.(运用了as引导时间状语从句和that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型3] Watching Charlie serve his imperfect but edible curry, I could tell the trip had changed something.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 九江一中2025-2026学年度下学期第一次月考 英语试卷 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B Powerlifting a strength sport focused on lifting the most weight possible, is often seen as a sport for young and muscular athletes. But Faith O’Reilly, an 82-year-old grandma based in Colorado, is ready to challenge this idea. She’ll soon get to showcase her abilities at a national competition. Born in St. Louis, O’Reilly moved with her family to Des Moines. She then attended the University of Iowa, where she discovered weightlifting. “While I was in law school I kind of fell in with some people who were doing weightlifting, and they invited me to go to a powerlifting meet with them,” she said. “I was watching it and thought, ‘Well, I can do that.’” And she indeed did it. O’Reilly committed to the sport, even winning multiple state championships. However, a career move to St. Paul, Minnesota, resulted in her having less and less time to practice, eventually leading her to drop lifting altogether. Upon her retirement in 2007, O’Reilly rediscovered her love for the sport. Having fallen in love with Saguache, a small town in Colorado, during previous travels with her granddaughter, she settled there. With more free time and surrounded by green landscapes and fresh air, she started lifting again. She even has her own gym set up with special safety bars, allowing her to train on her own time and terms. Now, she has joined the impressive ranks of 95-year-old lifter Catherine Kuehn and 81-year-old Nora Langdon. Having reaped (收获) the benefits of this discipline, O’Reilly recommends it not just for seniors, but everyone who is able to practice it. “It’s overall good for you physically, and as you age you can have problems with bone density and losing muscle tone (肌张力),” she says. “So this helps you stay fit.” O’Reilly last competed at the 2024 Summer Showdown and Team Cup in Colorado, where she was the oldest competitor overall. “Besides the workout, it gives you the chance to be involved in an athletic adventure, and the people that do this are a very open and friendly group of people,” O’Reilly says about competing. “You make a lot of connections and get support.” 4. What inspired O’Reilly to take up powerlifting? A. Her need for physical activity in Colorado. B. Her desire to challenge the traditional belief. C. Her experience of watching a powerlifting meet. D. Her granddaughter’s advice on staying healthy. 5. Why did O’Reilly stop powerlifting for a period of time? A. She lost interest in the sport at the time. B. Her muscle tone was fading in St. Paul. C. Her new job left her insufficient time to practice. D. She preferred outdoor activities in a green landscape. 6. What does O’Reilly say about powerlifting competitions? A. They are extremely challenging. B. They encourage social connections. C. They are too dangerous for seniors. D. They require expensive equipment. 7. What is the main message delivered by O’Reilly’s story? A. Fame favors the young. B. Strength knows no age. C. Competition builds confidence. D. True leisure begins with retirement. C Preserving threatened coral reefs is no longer enough. Now, we must help build new ones, say Ja Young Kim, 17, and Jiho Kong, 19. They’ve just designed one new option: robotic nurseries to attract and nurture baby corals. Jiho and Ja Young live in Saipan, which is “a beautiful place that is surrounded by the ocean,” notes Jiho. Dying coral is “not just a story that we hear from newsletters or books,” Ja Young says. For her, the problem can’t be ignored. So she and Jiho teamed up to build robotic apartment complexes for baby coral. Their system consists of two types of cells. The first offers a safe harbor for coral larvae (幼虫). They can attach to these “coral cells” and grow. The second are power cells. These similarly shaped units can drive the coral-housing units. Each power cell “has a propeller (推进器),” Ja Young points out, and runs on solar energy. So power cells can push coral cells to the perfect nursery location. Once they arrive, these cells can link together. A chain connects them to the ocean floor. This ensures they won’t drift away. To advertise the fact that housing units have arrived, the cell sings a song. This “special soundscape,” Ja Young explains, “can attract the coral larvae onto the structure.” Once they arrive, the tiny larvae begin setting up a new artificial reef. However, this apartment complex can do something natural reefs can’t. It can flee danger. Jiho linked the cells to the internet so they can receive ocean data. Their system’s power cells use these data to make decisions. If a dangerous storm approaches, these cells will know. They can turn on their propellers and head for safer waters. Each cell costs about $120 to make. That’s far less than similar technologies. The coral apartments must still undergo ocean tests. Models show a lot of promise. However, unseen problems could occur. Ja Young expects their new invention will do more than try to preserve the past. She believes it will build a more colorful future. 8. What does Ja Young and Jiho’s invention mainly focus on? A. Removing pollution in the areas around coral reefs. B. Monitoring the life cycle of coral reefs under stress. C. Creating a permanent alternative to natural coral reefs. D. Providing a mobile and nursery habitat for baby coral. 9. What is the function of the first type of cells? A. To transport coral cells to a suitable location. B. To deliver danger warnings through music. C To collect data on ocean conditions. D. To support the growth of coral larvae. 10. What does the author try to explain in paragraph 5? A. The danger avoidance ability of the artificial reef. B. The ways of communication between coral reefs. C. The challenges of coral reefs’ restoration work. D. The limitations of current artificial coral reefs. 11. What is Ja Young’s attitude towards the new invention? A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Conservative. D Jason Wood was sitting in a restaurant on vacation, angry and upset because he couldn’t replace pita (皮塔饼) with fresh vegetables in his plate. He was told the menu couldn’t be altered. Wood has orthorexia, an eating disorder that isn’t in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) , which is the formal guide for clinical assessment of mental health conditions. But clinicians are seeing a rise in orthorexia among patients, said therapist Jennifer Rollin. Orthorexia is a fixation on eating “clean,” as defined by a set of rules dependent on certain individuals and the context they live in, said Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, an eating disorder physician. A November 2023 study found that about 3 in 10 participants showed signs of orthorexia. Often, this disorder goes unnoticed or underestimated because it’s focused on healthy eating, said Wood, director of community engagement at the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders. Over the years, Wood said his list of unhealthy foods grew and those considered healthy kept shrinking (缩小) until he found himself leaving parties because he couldn’t find anything he would allow himself to eat — and that left him with a lot of anxiety, he said. The motivations people with orthorexia may have, as well as the approbation society gives them, might be labeled as health promotion or disease prevention, but often they are excuses for a “pure, old-fashioned diet culture,” which prioritizes one ideal body shape and size, Gaudiani said. If you or a loved one needs help for orthorexia, the good news is that treatment follows a similar path to established plans for eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia nervosa. “People with orthorexia may find themselves with a team that includes therapists and dietitians, similar to patients in treatment for other eating disorders,” Rollin said. “But those living with orthorexia will also likely face the added layer of unpacking their definition of health and reframing their ideas around it in a challenging way,” she added. 12. Why was Jason Wood annoyed while he was on vacation? A. His special dietary request was refused. B. His vacation plans were altered unexpectedly. C. He was charged extra for the restaurant service. D. He found it challenging to make food decisions. 13. Why does orthorexia often go unnoticed according to Jason Wood? A. It is a time-honored way of living. B. It is often self-defined by individuals. C. It rarely leads to severe health issues. D. It places a high value on a healthy diet. 14. What does the underlined word “approbation” in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Concern. B. Promise. C. Praise. D. Intolerance. 15. What challenge does Jennifer Rollin think orthorexia patients face? A. Adapting to unfamiliar dietary plans. B. Reframing their understanding of health. C. Finding a specialist treating eating disorders. D. Balancing treatment with daily responsibilities. 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With holidays slowly winding down, many of you may be hoping to use the last of that sweet vacation time to get out of town and visit friends and family. ____16____ Elaine Swann, who runs The Swann School of Protocol, an etiquette training program, shares her rules on how to be a guest who gets invited back. Ask early and respect the answer. The rule comes with a few caveats (告诫), Swann says. ____17____ Also, don’t automatically assume they can host you just because you asked “Make sure you’re prepared for the answer to be yes or no, and accept and respect whatever answer they give you,” Swann adds. Keep your visit short and sweet. Four days and three nights is generally ideal, Swann says. ____18____ It’s long enough to spend quality time together but short enough to be over before anyone can feel too crowded or frustrated. ____19____ Is your friend’s family the type that loves to cook for people, or should you plan to get your own meals? Make your host aware of any relevant information for your visit, like allergies or specific physical needs for your stay. Understand “Make yourself at home” the right way. When a host tells you to make yourself at home, that doesn’t mean you should put your feet on the couch or eat all the snacks in the kitchen. Swann says that’s generally a cue to take care of yourself — you don’t have to ask if you want a drink of water or an extra napkin. But as a houseguest, you still want to be your best, most respectful self. ____20____ A. Give your host at least three weeks’ notice. B. Be communicative about the specifics of your stay. C. Instead, maybe booking a nearby hotel is a good choice. D. But how do you ensure that your presence in someone else’s home feels like a gift? E. Are you hoping your friends can take some time off to hit the theme park with you? F. Offer to do the dishes, take out the trash, treat your host to a meal — or all of them. G. Unless you’re visiting for a larger occasion, a long-weekend-type visit is a sweet spot. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A few weeks ago, while accidentally listening to a radio programme, a piece about laughter caught my ear.

At 16 years old, Charlie and Thomas wanted pools and roller coasters, not UNESCO heritage sites or cooking with strangers. But my wife, Cecilia, and I had different plans. I’d booked cultural experiences that would push them beyond their comfort zones, including a cooking class in the rural mountain town of Ella. They reacted as if they were being assigned homework for their holidays. I didn’t know if they would warm to the experiences I had in store. But on our morning at Sigiriya, their complaints about climbing the ancient rock fortress (城堡) had disappeared by the time we reached the top and saw the sweeping views across the jungle. At Priya Cookery Class, the real challenge began. My kids’ cooking skills peaked at burning toast. Now, they were being asked to prepare dishes they would’ve refused to try at any restaurant back home. On one of Ella’s hillside streets, 12 of us gathered around gas burners to make eight traditional Sri Lankan dishes. The group, a diverse bunch, included backpackers, retirees and honeymooners. My twins were clearly the youngest. Our instructor explained that we’d be preparing everything from chicken curry (咖喱鸡) to beetroot sambal (甜菜根辣椒酱) with everyone helping with every dish. This approach meant my kids found themselves cooking alongside brave backpackers and retired couples. Something clicked around the pot. The backpackers were fascinated by my teenagers’ perspectives, while Charlie and Thomas were absorbed in their wild stories of adventure in Southeast Asia. “You guys are so lucky,” a Canadian backpacker told Charlie as they worked on the dishes together. “I wish my parents had taken me to places like this when I was your age.” I could see Charlie perk up (振奋). This experienced traveler thought what he was doing was cool. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 By the time we sat down to enjoy the dishes, my sons were deep in conversation with strangers. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three weeks after we returned home, Charlie announced that he would make Sri Lankan curry for the family’s dinner. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
