Matisse’s Jazz: Rhythms in Color
The Art Institute of Chicago, USA
March 29 — June 28
Henri Matisse, primarily a celebrated painter worldwide, turned to paper cutting in his old age as his medium after a surgery left him unable to pick up a brush. Twenty different cut-paper models were formed, all drawn from his memories, folktales and circuses. They were reproduced in 1947 in stencil (模版) to form a book in loose leaves, Jazz, accompanied by explanatory notes from the artist himself. Now, it is shown in its entirety for the very first time since it was acquired by the museum back in 1948.

Memory loss is a common part of aging. A decade-long study of older adults in China has found that a healthy lifestyle is linked to slower memory loss even when people carry a risky gene for Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默氏症). Researchers from China’s National Center for Neurological Disorders and other medical organizations followed 29,000 people aged at least 60 years for up to 10 years. Forty-nine percent of the participants were women.
At the beginning of the study in 2009, the researchers tested the participants memory function with the Auditory Verbal Learning Test(AVLT 听觉词语学习测验). They were also tested for the APOE gene, the most common gene linked with Alzheimer’s. Around 20 percent of the participants were carriers of the risk gene. The participants received tests in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2019. In the follow-ups, six healthy lifestyle factors were analyzed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive activity, non-smoking and never drinking alcohol.
The results showed that the AVLT scores continuously decreased over the 10 years. But the highest test scores were in the favorable group and the lowest in the group where people usually have an unhealthy lifestyle. The participants with favorable and average lifestyles, even when they were APOE carriers, had a slower rate of memory loss than the participants with unhealthy lifestyles.
The researchers said that they studied the contribution of each lifestyle factor and their combined effects in a large sample size over an entire 10 years and offered important information to protect older adults against memory loss.
The results about the APOE carriers also provide a positive outlook that healthy lifestyle risks are related to a slower rate of memory loss, regardless of the genetic risk.
4. How many women participants participated in the study?
A. About 14000. B. About 13000. C. About 15000. D. About 12000.
5. According to the study, the following are all lifestyles linked to slower memory loss EXCEPT________.
A. Regular physical exercise B. Active cognitive activity
C. Smoking and drinking alcohol D. Active social contact
6. What do the underlined words “favorable group” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The group of people with healthy lifestyle. B. The group of people with unhealthy lifestyle.
C. The group of people carrying APOE gene. D. The group of people without APOE gene.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. An unbelievable study.
B. The importance of healthy lifestyle.
C. Memory loss is a common part of aging.
D. The healthier your lifestyle, the slower your memory loss.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了你的生活方式越健康,你的记忆力下降就越慢。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Researchers from China`s National Center for Neurological Disorders and other medical organizations followed 29,000 people aged at least 60 years for up to 10 years. Forty-nine percent of the participants were women. (中国国家神经疾病中心和其他医疗机构的研究人员对29000名年龄在60岁以上的人进行了长达10年的跟踪调查。49%的参与者是女性)”可知,有大约14000女性参与了这项研究。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the follow-ups, six healthy lifestyle factors were analyzed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive activity, non-smoking and never drinking alcohol. (在随访中,分析了六个健康的生活方式因素:健康的饮食、定期的体育锻炼、积极的社交接触、积极的认知活动、不吸烟和从不饮酒)”可知,除了吸烟和饮酒之外,定期体育锻炼、积极的认知活动和积极的社交联系都与较慢的记忆力丧失有关。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后半部分“and the lowest in the group where people usually have an unhealthy lifestyle (而得分最低的在通常生活方式不健康的人群)”说明测试得分最低的是生活方式不健康的人群,高分的是拥有健康生活方式的人;从而推知划线部分“But the highest test scores were in the favorable group (但测试得分最高的在favorable group)”其中划线短语指“拥有健康生活方式的人群”。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段中“A decade-long study of older adults in China has found that a healthy lifestyle is linked to slower memory loss even when people carry a risky gene for Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默氏症). (一项针对中国老年人的长达十年的研究发现,即使人们携带阿尔茨海默病的危险基因,健康的生活方式也会减缓记忆力的丧失)”及最后一段中“The results about the APOE carriers also provide a positive outlook that healthy lifestyle risks are related to a slower rate of memory loss, regardless of the genetic risk. (APOE携带者的研究结果也提供了一个积极的前景,即无论遗传风险如何,健康的生活方式风险都与较慢的记忆丧失率有关)”可知,本文主要说明了你的生活方式越健康,你的记忆力下降就越慢。故选D项。
C
After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHer, was empowered to take action against malaria —a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries.
Stanford SupplyHer, a student group supporting women’s health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria (UBM) to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza last Monday. “Knowing that malaria is especially dangerous to pregnant individuals and children makes advocacy for malaria funding and research essential for our mission,” said Bista.
“We in the U. S. need to be aware of the impact of global warming on malaria because less developed countries in other parts of the world are more heavily affected by our emissions,” Bista said. Last year, the U. S. experienced its first local outbreaks of malaria since 2003. Infectious disease experts have warned that climate change will spread malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes to areas that were once free of malaria.
This summer, after discovering the work of UBM, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, Bista met with her congressional (国会的) representatives to advocate for malaria treatment and research. To support continued funding for global malaria programs, Bista wrote to officials in Congress. “It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Macgan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”
Bista encouraged students to become involved in initiatives on campus to spread awareness of malaria and other global health issues. “Global health is important to me because there are so many health inequities (不平等) around the world and health itself is important to live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are so many health inequities around the world, I want to raise awareness and help people live fulfilling lives.”
8. What inspired Bista to engage in actions against malaria?
A. A learning experience. B. A health crisis. C. A grassroots campaign. D. A tabling event.
9. What did Bista do to support malaria prevention?
A. She organized a charity sale. B. She launched a research project.
C. She campaigned for fundraising. D. She budgeted for malaria treatment.
10. What is the message Maegan Cross intends to convey?
A. Community voices secure health funding.
B. Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent.
C. The public needs more knowledge about health.
D. Individual efforts matter in government decisions.
11. Which of the following best describes Bista?
A. A health advocate. B. A club founder. C. A woman pioneer. D. A disease specialist.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了斯坦福大学的一个学生团体Stanford SupplyHer与United to Beat Malaria合作,在白广场举办活动,鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究计划提供资金的事情。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHer, was empowered to take action against malaria —a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries.(去年冬天,斯坦福大学“Stanford SupplyHer”组织的主席Yashaswi Bista在修完一门全球健康入门课程后,获得了采取行动抗击疟疾的动力。疟疾这种疾病在几个世纪以来,每年都夺走数十万人的生命。)”可知,启发Bista采取行动抗击疟疾的是一次学习经历。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Stanford SupplyHer, a student group supporting women’s health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria(UBM)to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza last Monday.(“Stanford SupplyHer”是一个通过艺术来支持女性健康的学生团体。上周一,该团体与“联合抗击疟疾”组织合作,在怀特广场设摊举办了一场活动,旨在鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究项目提供资金支持。)”可知,Bista所在的组织与“联合抗击疟疾”组织合作举办活动,鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究项目提供资金支持。由此可知,Bista为支持疟疾预防所做的是为筹款进行宣传活动。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Macgan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”(“联合抗击疟疾”组织的资深倡导者Macgan Cross写道:“面对像疟疾这样重大的问题,人们很容易觉得自己无能为力。但在这类重大问题上,任何人都可以向决策者表达自己的意见。通过向你选出的官员发送支持全球卫生事业资金投入的信息,你就能确保自己的声音被听到。”)”可知,Maegan Cross认为面对像疟疾这样重大的问题,人们很容易觉得自己无能为力,但实际上任何人都可以就这类重大问题向决策者表达自己的意见,通过向当选官员发送支持全球卫生事业资金投入的信息,就能确保自己的声音被听到。所以Maegan Cross想要传达的信息是个人努力在政府决策中很重要。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,Bista在修完全球健康入门课程后,积极采取行动抗击疟疾。她所在的组织与“联合抗击疟疾”组织合作举办活动,鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究项目提供资金支持;她会见国会议员,为疟疾的治疗和研究进行呼吁;还写信给国会议员,支持对全球疟疾防治项目持续提供资金,并鼓励学生们参与校园里提高人们对疟疾和其他全球健康问题认识的活动。这些行为都表明她是健康问题尤其是抗击疟疾方面的倡导者。故选A。
D
A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”
Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.
12. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands?
A. A shift in animal behavior. B. A shortage of food supplies.
C. A decline in bacterial species. D. An increase in regional conflicts.
13. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5?
A. To praise their benefits to desert life. B. To highlight our damage to ecosystems.
C. To stress their significance for photography. D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity.
14. It is conveyed in this passage that we should_________.
A. Encourage wildlife protection B. Follow the “leave no trace” principle
C. Promote national park tourism D. Restore ecological damage
15. What is the author’s attitude towards human behavior in national parks?
A. Tolerant and forgiving. B. Critical and concerned.
C. Neutral and objective. D. Encouraging and supportive.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一袋薯片垃圾就破坏洞穴生态,公园游客的食物、排泄物、偏离步道等行为正长期伤害自然,文章呼吁人们遵守无痕游览原则。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results.(丢弃废弃物会迫使动物改变饮食习惯,从而影响其行为模式,有时还会导致严重的后果)”可知,公共土地上出现外来垃圾会导致动物行为的改变。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye(布莱指出,人们对敏感生态系统的危害影响并不明显。“很容易就会想到,那边有野花。我不应该踩到它们”)”可知,作者在第五段中提到了野花是为了表明我们对大自然的脆弱性毫无察觉。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.(每年有超过5亿人前往美国的公共土地游玩,这为对自然环境造成破坏创造了诸多机会。“从这些数字来看,简直令人难以置信,”科罗拉多州“不留痕迹中心”的负责人瓦茨说道。该中心是一个致力于减少人类活动对自然环境影响的组织)”可知,我们应当遵循“不留痕迹”的原则。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places.(每年有超过5亿人前往美国的公共土地,这为对自然环境造成破坏创造了诸多机会)”以及最后一段“In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity.(在国家公园里,小路的铺设会尽量避开敏感区域。哪怕只是为了拍一张快照而离开小路,也可能会惊吓到野生动物。众多游客的活动所造成的破坏会对自然和野生动物造成长期的损害。但当人们看到绝佳的拍照机会时,却往往没有考虑到这些后果)”可知,作者对国家公园内的人类行为批判且担忧态度。故选B。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As global warming heats up, humans will suffer from rising temperatures. ____16____.
In recent years, scientists have found links between human-caused climate change and heat stress. This can lower milk production. The researchers studied 48 Holstein cows. ____17____ Over the course of two weeks, half of the cows were exposed to approximately 98-degree heat. The other half were housed in neutral conditions (中性条件). All of the cows were milked twice a day. The researchers tracked everything from their vital signs to their weight, feed intake and milk yields. ____18____ The research was published in the Journal of Dairy Science.
____19____ The heat-stressed cows had higher insulin (胰岛素) levels. They ate and drank less, too. The researchers also analyzed blood samples from the cows. The heat-stressed cows developed leaky gut (肠子) within just three days. The condition occurs when bacteria and other material “leak’s” trough weakened parts of the intestinal wall (肠壁). This can cause inflammation in cows.
____20____ When they fed them a special mix of organic acids and pure botanicals, their guts became less permeable. The cows ate more. Thy produced more milk. That dietary solution could help prevent some of the billions of dollars in comic losses related to heat stressed cows. The research could eventually lead to changes in feed formulations.
A. But the researchers also found a way to help cows deal with heat.
B. As predicted, the warm cows’ milk production declined.
C. But how will climate change affect cows?
D. When exposed to heat, the cows ate less and drank less.
E. Heat stress can also lead to diseases and other issues in dairy cows.
F. They housed them in temperature-controlled stalls.
G. However, there are many measures we can take to deal with the problem.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在美国克利夫兰艺术博物馆参观中国艺术展览时,感受到了家乡杭州与异国他乡之间的文化联系。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:在克利夫兰艺术博物馆的一个特别展览的入口处,迎接我的那张照片有一种令人惊讶的熟悉感。根据空前a surprising可知,空处需用名词作had的宾语,familiar的名词为familiarity“熟悉感”,不可数名词。故填familiarity。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:看,那是西湖!那是我住过的杭州!空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Hangzhou,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,所以空处需用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我从未想过杭州会与我童年生活的城市携手,与我的克利夫兰同胞分享它最宝贵的财富。that引导的宾语从句已有谓语动词would join,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词,结合句意可知,空处需用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to share。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:毕竟,多年前博物馆悄悄地激发了我对中国的热情。passion for...“对……的热爱”,固定搭配。故填for。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:它广受赞誉的中国艺术收藏品,从山峦风景卷轴到精美瓷器,在我年轻的时候就吸引了我,并在我仍因失去母亲而悲伤的时候给我带来了难以理解的安慰感。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词praised,wide的副词为widely“广泛地”。故填widely。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。空处需用连词连接并列的谓语动词drew和brought,结合句意可知,此处表示并列关系,所以空处需用连词and。故填and。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在全球备受赞誉的展览上,我很高兴地向家人展示我以前在杭州常去的博物馆里的特殊艺术品。空处作定语修饰exhibition,celebrate与exhibition为被动关系,应用过去分词celebrated“著名的”,构成“globally celebrated exhibition(全球著名的展览)”。故填celebrated。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:我很高兴向家人展示来自杭州博物馆的特别艺术品,那些博物馆我以前经常去。“before in Hangzhou”表明动作发生在“过去之过去”,主句用一般过去时(was delighted),从句应用过去完成时。“frequent”意为“常去”,其过去完成时为 had frequented。故填had frequented。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:有那么一瞬间,西湖的景象展现在我眼前,架起了连接两座城市的桥梁,这两座城市都是我心之所向。本句已有谓语动词unfolded,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词,结合句意可知,空处需用现在分词作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。故填bridging。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对我来说,这真是一件跨文化的艺术品。空处需用不定冠词a/an泛指一件跨文化的艺术品,cross-cultural是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。

【答案】范文:(一)
As we can see in the pictures, the environment is becoming worse and worse around us. Factories pollute rivers with waste water and send out heavy smoke. People cut down trees and throw rubbish everywhere. As a result, animals lose their homes and the earth is getting dirtier.
The main reasons are people’s carelessness and over-development. Pollution not only makes our living conditions terrible but also does harm to our health. If we don’t stop it, we will lose our beautiful home one day.
It’s high time to take action. First, we should plant more trees and stop cutting them down. Second, we must put rubbish into bins and ask factories to control pollution. Let’s work together to protect the environment and make the earth clean again!
范文(二)
As is vividly shown in the pictures, the environment around us is worsening rapidly. Factories pour waste into rivers and release heavy smoke into the air, while trees are being cut down and rubbish is thrown carelessly everywhere. As a result, animals are losing their homes, and the planet is becoming increasingly polluted.
The fundamental causes lie in people’s negligence and over-exploitation. Such pollution not only makes our living conditions unpleasant but also endangers our health. If we fail to take action, we may eventually lose our only home.
Therefore, it is high time that we adopted effective measures. To begin with, we should plant more trees and stop deforestation. Moreover, it is essential to dispose of rubbish properly and urge factories to control pollution. Only through joint efforts can we restore a clean and beautiful Earth.

62. 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。
It was 3 a. m. when the flood came on an unseasonably warm night in June. Rocks were heard breaking. Susan Roberts, new to Red Lodge, Montana, a small town of 2,300 people, woke from an uneasy sleep. She saw the lights on at her across-the-way neighbors’, on the side bordering Rock Creek, a 55-mile river skirting the town’s eastern edge.
Roberts’s next-door neighbor, a police officer, was evacuating (疏散) with his four kids, and he advised Roberts to do the same. So she put her dogs in the car and moved it to an narrow street behind her home, about 10 feet uphill, as her husband went from house to house, waking others. It was still dark; people were sleeping and didn’t realize. More people went to each other’s doors, saying, “Wake up and you have to get out.”
The couple stayed in their car and on the few feet of dry land surrounding it for the entirety of the next day, watching their house ruined. Trees were washed down the town’s main street. Cars floated away. Floods ruined the Beartooth Highway, a major road connecting Red Lodge to Billings. “The town looked like a riverbed,” says Roberts. “The whole community was wandering around, trying to grasp what happened.”
The day after the flood, more than 20 people friends, neighbors, strangers, even tourists flocked (群集) to help. “People went into our wet, muddy basement and pulled everything out,” says Roberts. “They sorted and took things home to wash. One person came to clean up our yard. A mother and her two young children pulled rubbish from our chain-link fence.” Helpers even saved her precious photo albums, drying each print before returning it to the book.
And volunteers kept coming every day until summer’s end. “People would not take no for an answer. If I was like, ‘Oh, we’re OK now,’ they’d be like, ‘No, I’m gonna do something,’” she says.
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。
Soon, all over town, people took action jointly to clean up the whole mess.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
More than a year later, Red Lodge began to take on a new look.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Soon, all over town, people took action jointly to clean up the whole mess. Volunteer groups, of which Roberts and her husband were members, worked quickly to clear out a space within hours. People offered their vacation homes to the homeless at no charge due to the floods. Restaurant owners organized a gift card group for people to buy gift cards from local businesses to donate to affected residents. Although the collapsed houses were not built yet, everything was slowly improving in harmony and order.
More than a year later, Red Lodge began to take on a new look. In the spring, Roberts finally moved back home, with a freshly poured concrete foundation. The displaced people all returned. The houses were stronger, the roads were wider, and the homes were more beautiful. The peaceful night’s sleep was restored. After joint efforts with others, Roberts was no longer new to Red Lodge, but the builder and owner. “I’m blessed,” said Roberts. “People here are more like family members, braving difficulties together. ”
【解析】

They were reproduced in 1947 in stencil (模版) to form a book in loose leaves, Jazz, accompanied by explanatory notes from the artist himself.

Memory loss is a common part of aging. A decade-long study of older adults in China has found that a healthy lifestyle is linked to slower memory loss even when people carry a risky gene for Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默氏症). Researchers from China’s National Center for Neurological Disorders and other medical organizations followed 29,000 people aged at least 60 years for up to 10 years. Forty-nine percent of the participants were women.
At the beginning of the study in 2009, the researchers tested the participants memory function with the Auditory Verbal Learning Test(AVLT 听觉词语学习测验). They were also tested for the APOE gene, the most common gene linked with Alzheimer’s. Around 20 percent of the participants were carriers of the risk gene. The participants received tests in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2019. In the follow-ups, six healthy lifestyle factors were analyzed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive activity, non-smoking and never drinking alcohol.
The results showed that the AVLT scores continuously decreased over the 10 years. But the highest test scores were in the favorable group and the lowest in the group where people usually have an unhealthy lifestyle. The participants with favorable and average lifestyles, even when they were APOE carriers, had a slower rate of memory loss than the participants with unhealthy lifestyles.
The researchers said that they studied the contribution of each lifestyle factor and their combined effects in a large sample size over an entire 10 years and offered important information to protect older adults against memory loss.
The results about the APOE carriers also provide a positive outlook that healthy lifestyle risks are related to a slower rate of memory loss, regardless of the genetic risk.
4. How many women participants participated in the study?
A. About 14000. B. About 13000. C. About 15000. D. About 12000.
5. According to the study, the following are all lifestyles linked to slower memory loss EXCEPT________.
A. Regular physical exercise B. Active cognitive activity
C. Smoking and drinking alcohol D. Active social contact
6. What do the underlined words “favorable group” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The group of people with healthy lifestyle. B. The group of people with unhealthy lifestyle.
C. The group of people carrying APOE gene. D. The group of people without APOE gene.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. An unbelievable study.
B. The importance of healthy lifestyle.
C. Memory loss is a common part of aging.
D. The healthier your lifestyle, the slower your memory loss.
C
After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHer, was empowered to take action against malaria —a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries.
Stanford SupplyHer, a student group supporting women’s health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria (UBM) to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza last Monday. “Knowing that malaria is especially dangerous to pregnant individuals and children makes advocacy for malaria funding and research essential for our mission,” said Bista.
“We in the U. S. need to be aware of the impact of global warming on malaria because less developed countries in other parts of the world are more heavily affected by our emissions,” Bista said. Last year, the U. S. experienced its first local outbreaks of malaria since 2003. Infectious disease experts have warned that climate change will spread malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes to areas that were once free of malaria.
This summer, after discovering the work of UBM, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, Bista met with her congressional (国会的) representatives to advocate for malaria treatment and research. To support continued funding for global malaria programs, Bista wrote to officials in Congress. “It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Macgan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”
Bista encouraged students to become involved in initiatives on campus to spread awareness of malaria and other global health issues. “Global health is important to me because there are so many health inequities (不平等) around the world and health itself is important to live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are so many health inequities around the world, I want to raise awareness and help people live fulfilling lives.”
8. What inspired Bista to engage in actions against malaria?
A. A learning experience. B. A health crisis. C. A grassroots campaign. D. A tabling event.
9. What did Bista do to support malaria prevention?
A. She organized a charity sale. B. She launched a research project.
C. She campaigned for fundraising. D. She budgeted for malaria treatment.
10. What is the message Maegan Cross intends to convey?
A. Community voices secure health funding.
B. Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent.
C. The public needs more knowledge about health.
D. Individual efforts matter in government decisions.
11. Which of the following best describes Bista?
A. A health advocate. B. A club founder. C. A woman pioneer. D. A disease specialist.
D
A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”
Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.
12. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands?
A. A shift in animal behavior. B. A shortage of food supplies.
C. A decline in bacterial species. D. An increase in regional conflicts.
13. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5?
A. To praise their benefits to desert life. B. To highlight our damage to ecosystems.
C. To stress their significance for photography. D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity.
14. It is conveyed in this passage that we should_________.
A. Encourage wildlife protection B. Follow the “leave no trace” principle
C. Promote national park tourism D. Restore ecological damage
15. What is the author’s attitude towards human behavior in national parks?
A. Tolerant and forgiving. B. Critical and concerned.
C. Neutral and objective. D. Encouraging and supportive.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As global warming heats up, humans will suffer from rising temperatures. ____16____.
In recent years, scientists have found links between human-caused climate change and heat stress. This can lower milk production. The researchers studied 48 Holstein cows. ____17____ Over the course of two weeks, half of the cows were exposed to approximately 98-degree heat. The other half were housed in neutral conditions (中性条件). All of the cows were milked twice a day. The researchers tracked everything from their vital signs to their weight, feed intake and milk yields. ____18____ The research was published in the Journal of Dairy Science.
____19____ The heat-stressed cows had higher insulin (胰岛素) levels. They ate and drank less, too. The researchers also analyzed blood samples from the cows. The heat-stressed cows developed leaky gut (肠子) within just three days. The condition occurs when bacteria and other material “leak’s” trough weakened parts of the intestinal wall (肠壁). This can cause inflammation in cows.
____20____ When they fed them a special mix of organic acids and pure botanicals, their guts became less permeable. The cows ate more. Thy produced more milk. That dietary solution could help prevent some of the billions of dollars in comic losses related to heat stressed cows. The research could eventually lead to changes in feed formulations.
A. But the researchers also found a way to help cows deal with heat.
B. As predicted, the warm cows’ milk production declined.
C. But how will climate change affect cows?
D. When exposed to heat, the cows ate less and drank less.
E. Heat stress can also lead to diseases and other issues in dairy cows.
F. They housed them in temperature-controlled stalls.
G. However, there are many measures we can take to deal with the problem.

62. 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。
It was 3 a. m. when the flood came on an unseasonably warm night in June. Rocks were heard breaking. Susan Roberts, new to Red Lodge, Montana, a small town of 2,300 people, woke from an uneasy sleep. She saw the lights on at her across-the-way neighbors’, on the side bordering Rock Creek, a 55-mile river skirting the town’s eastern edge.
Roberts’s next-door neighbor, a police officer, was evacuating (疏散) with his four kids, and he advised Roberts to do the same. So she put her dogs in the car and moved it to an narrow street behind her home, about 10 feet uphill, as her husband went from house to house, waking others. It was still dark; people were sleeping and didn’t realize. More people went to each other’s doors, saying, “Wake up and you have to get out.”
The couple stayed in their car and on the few feet of dry land surrounding it for the entirety of the next day, watching their house ruined. Trees were washed down the town’s main street. Cars floated away. Floods ruined the Beartooth Highway, a major road connecting Red Lodge to Billings. “The town looked like a riverbed,” says Roberts. “The whole community was wandering around, trying to grasp what happened.”
The day after the flood, more than 20 people friends, neighbors, strangers, even tourists flocked (群集) to help. “People went into our wet, muddy basement and pulled everything out,” says Roberts. “They sorted and took things home to wash. One person came to clean up our yard. A mother and her two young children pulled rubbish from our chain-link fence.” Helpers even saved her precious photo albums, drying each print before returning it to the book.
And volunteers kept coming every day until summer’s end. “People would not take no for an answer. If I was like, ‘Oh, we’re OK now,’ they’d be like, ‘No, I’m gonna do something,’” she says.
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。
Soon, all over town, people took action jointly to clean up the whole mess.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
More than a year later, Red Lodge began to take on a new look.
