Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs
Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid (小行星) impact changed life on Earth forever. Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs is an exhibition that explores the before-and-after story of this event, which led to the extinction of non-bird dinosaurs and the majority of animal and plant species on the planet.
In this exhibition, you can step back in time to experience the planet during the Cretaceous (白垩纪) Period. This was a time when dinosaurs walked the earth, some dinosaurs flew in the skies, and massive marine reptiles — such as Mosasaurus and Plesiosauria — ruled the oceans.

At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being.
Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.
She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state — deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings.
When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures.
Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life.
4. Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture?
A. Because of a sports injury.
B. Because of financial investment.
C. Because of emotional anxiety.
D. Because of a firm’s recommendation.
5. What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach?
A. It relied on surroundings over needles.
B. It used finger pressure instead of needles.
C. It combined examination with assessment.
D. It prioritized observation over communication.
6. How did the author feel after having acupuncture?
A. Tired. B. Pressured.
C. Cautious. D. Peaceful.
7. What does the author learn from her experience?
A. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
C. Busy hands make a happy heart.
D. A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了作者作为新妈妈,因压力和焦虑选择针灸治疗,并详细描述了治疗过程及感受,最后作者认识到自我照顾的重要性。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture.(27岁那年,作为一个新妈妈,我一直在与压力和焦虑作斗争,这促使我去尝试针灸)”可知,作者尝试针灸是因为情感焦虑。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.(在与针灸师希恩·詹姆斯进行了短暂的会诊后,她评估了我的生活方式和健康问题,我换上毛巾躺了下来。詹姆斯检查了我的舌头,注意到舌尖发红是压力的迹象,并解释了这是如何指导她下针的)”可知,针灸师既检查了作者的身体,又评估了作者的生活方式和健康问题,由此可推知,针灸师的治疗方法是结合检查和评估的。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day.(当詹姆斯取下针时,我感到一种深深的平静,这种感觉持续了一整天)”可知,针灸后作者感到平静。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life.(这提醒我要优先考虑自我照顾。否则,我无法应付繁忙的工作和日常生活)”可知,作者从自己的经历中学到了自我照顾的重要性,即人得先照顾好自己,才能有余力去处理其他事情,B项“You can’t pour from an empty cup.(你不能从一个空杯子里倒水)”意指要先关爱自己才能付出,与之相符。
C
A growing body of research from the past twenty years highlights that strong social relationships are crucial for our long-term physical and mental health. Obviously, chronic (慢性的) loneliness has been linked to a high risk of death. While the exact reasons remain under study, evidence increasingly suggests that our social lives directly influence our biological health.
A key challenge has been determining cause and effect. Many studies are observational, meaning they find a link but cannot prove that poor social connections cause poor health. It is possible that existing health issues lead to weaker social ties, or that other factors — like substance abuse — harm both health and relationships at the same time.
However, new research strengthens the case that strong social bonds actively protect our health. A recent study, examining over 2,000 middle-aged Americans, investigated a concept called “cumulative (累积的) social advantage (CSA)”. This measure combines four areas: support from communities, quality of parent-child relationships, community involvement, and emotional support from close ones.
Researchers compared participants’ CSA scores with their blood samples, using an advanced biological age marker. The results revealed a clear pattern: Individuals with higher social advantage tended to have slower biological aging and lower levels of inflammation (炎症). Essentially, better social connections correlated with a younger biological state.
While this study still shows correlation rather than proven causation (因果关系), it points to meaningful biological differences. By focusing on long-term markers like inflammation and cellular aging, it reduces the likelihood that the findings are merely due to lifestyle choices like diet or exercise. It suggests that strong, positive relationships may cause subtle, lasting physiological benefits — such as better immune function and stress regulation — which protect the body over time.
Therefore, nurturing friendships and community ties may be just as important for health as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. Prioritizing meaningful social connections is not only good for our happiness but can be a vital investment in our long-term well-being.
8. What can be the relationship between social lives and human health?
A. Interactive. B. Short-term.
C. One-way. D. Irrelevant.
9. Why does the author mention CSA?
A. To offer advice on community involvement.
B. To show the negative effects of inflammation.
C. To explain how biological aging is measured.
D. To present a way to judge social conditions.
10. What do the long-term markers help the study do?
A. Rule out lifestyle choices as the only explanation.
B. Confirm inflammation as a contributor to aging.
C. Prove social relationships ensure better health.
D. Suggest diet matters less than social ties.
11. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To make a recommendation. B. To make a call.
C. To make a conclusion. D. To make a guess.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要探讨了社交生活与人类健康之间的关系,指出良好的社交关系对长期身心健康至关重要,并介绍了相关研究及结论。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“While the exact reasons remain under study, evidence increasingly suggests that our social lives directly influence our biological health.(虽然具体原因仍在研究中,但越来越多的证据表明,我们的社交生活直接影响我们的生理健康)”以及第二段中“It is possible that existing health issues lead to weaker social ties, or that other factors — like substance abuse — harm both health and relationships at the same time.(有可能是现有的健康问题导致社交关系变弱,也有可能是其他因素——比如滥用药物——同时损害健康和人际关系)”可知,社交生活和人类健康之间是相互影响的关系。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“A recent study, examining over 2,000 middle-aged Americans, investigated a concept called “cumulative (累积的) social advantage (CSA)”. This measure combines four areas: support from communities, quality of parent-child relationships, community involvement, and emotional support from close ones.(最近一项研究对2000多名美国中年人进行了调查,研究了一个名为“累积社会优势(CSA)”的概念。这一衡量标准结合了四个方面:社区支持、亲子关系质量、社区参与以及亲密之人的情感支持)”可知,作者提到CSA是为了呈现一种判断社会状况的方式。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“By focusing on long-term markers like inflammation and cellular aging, it reduces the likelihood that the findings are merely due to lifestyle choices like diet or exercise.(通过关注炎症和细胞衰老等长期标志物,降低了研究结果仅仅是由于饮食或运动等生活方式选择导致的可能性)”可知,长期标志物有助于排除将生活方式作为唯一解释的可能性。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, nurturing friendships and community ties may be just as important for health as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. Prioritizing meaningful social connections is not only good for our happiness but can be a vital investment in our long-term well-being.(因此,培养友谊和社区关系可能和定期锻炼和均衡营养一样对健康重要。优先考虑有意义的社交关系不仅对我们的幸福有好处,而且是对我们长期幸福的一项重要投资)”可知,最后一段再次强调了研究得出的结论,总结了社交关系对健康的重要性。

When advertising leaders call themselves “cockroaches (蟑螂)”, it is no self-criticism. It means that they have an extraordinary ability to survive great changes. Copywriters adjusted to radio in the 1920s; artists accepted TV in the 1950s; agencies survived the 2000s shift to online ads. Facing artificial intelligence (AI) — the most serious change — they gathered confidently at their annual Cannes meeting. As one of the fields most greatly influenced by AI, advertising offers a preview of how the technology will reshape other industries.
The gap between human ad workers and AI chatbots is narrower than imagined. Creative work was once thought safe from automation — large language models (LLMs) value predictability more than creativity. Yet while truly creative ads like attaching step-counters to chickens to promote free-range eggs are still made by humans, leading technology companies now offer AI tools that produce acceptable videos or rewrite ad copy. However, with large amounts of money spent on ads yearly, most goes to common campaigns. The claim that AI will handle 95% of marketing work and that humans may only keep the 5% most creative tasks is more a warning than an exaggeration (夸张).
Big companies gain most from AI, which goes against the idea that AI will make skills and intelligence available to all. Small businesses benefit — they can now make TV-quality ads for thousands instead of millions — but some big tech firms control half the global ad market. AI needs expensive computing power and large data sets, resources only the rich can get. Unlike human intelligence, which is widely spread, AI can be bought. Instead of making the competition fair, AI lets the wealthy hoard competitive advantages.
AI’s effects are hard to predict. Advertisers are moving budgets from TV to simple outdoor billboards — AI now uses big data to prove if people who saw the billboard bought the product, turning guesses into clear results. Traditional public relations is another unexpected winner: As consumers use chatbots more, brands must make LLMs speak well of them. The best way is to influence the news sources LLMs depend on. In the AI age, offline communication may work better than high-tech “search-engine optimization”. Though advertising has special survival skills, its AI experience shows what’s coming for all businesses.
12. What does the example of the “step-counter chicken campaign” mainly show?
A. The wide use of creative marketing strategies.
B. The rapid development of AI advertising tools.
C. AI’s inability to finish common advertising tasks.
D. Humans’ unique advantage in creative advertising.
13. What does the underlined word “hoard” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Lose. B. Keep.
C. Share. D. Exchange.
14. What mainly leads to the growing popularity of outdoor billboards?
A. AI’s ability to measure their effects accurately.
B. Their stronger visual attraction than TV ads.
C. Their lower cost than high-tech online campaigns.
D. Consumers’ growing preference for offline advertising.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI: A Threat to Advertising Leaders.
B. AI and Advertising: Changes and Lessons.
C. Big Companies: Winners of AI Revolution.
D. “Cockroaches” in AIAds: A Way to Survive.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要分析了人工智能对广告行业的影响、带来的竞争不平等问题,以及为其他行业提供的经验启示。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Creative work was once thought safe from automation — large language models (LLMs) value predictability more than creativity. Yet while truly creative ads like attaching step-counters to chickens to promote free-range eggs are still made by humans, leading technology companies now offer AI tools that produce acceptable videos or rewrite ad copy. (创意工作曾一度被认为能免受自动化的影响——大型语言模型更看重可预测性而非创造力。然而,尽管像给鸡佩戴计步器来推广散养鸡蛋这样真正有创意的广告仍由人类制作,但领先的科技公司现在提供的AI工具已经能够生成可接受的视频或重写广告文案)”可知,“计步器鸡广告”的例子主要展示了人类在创意广告方面的独特优势。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“AI needs expensive computing power and large data sets, resources only the rich can get. Unlike human intelligence, which is widely spread, AI can be bought. Instead of making the competition fair, AI lets the wealthy hoard competitive advantages.(人工智能需要昂贵的计算能力和大型数据集,这些资源只有富人才能获得。与广泛传播的人类智能不同,人工智能是可以购买的。人工智能并没有使竞争变得公平,反而让富人hoard竞争优势)”可知,人工智能所需的昂贵计算能力和大型数据集仅能被富人获取,AI可被购买,因此它并未使竞争公平,而是让富人“保留”了竞争优势,故划线词意思是“保留”,与“Keep”同义。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Advertisers are moving budgets from TV to simple outdoor billboards — AI now uses big data to prove if people who saw the billboard bought the product, turning guesses into clear results. (广告商正在将预算从电视转移到简单的户外广告牌上——人工智能现在利用大数据来证明看过广告牌的人是否购买了产品,将猜测变成了明确的结果)”可知,户外广告牌越来越受欢迎的主要原因是人工智能能够准确衡量其效果。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“Facing artificial intelligence (AI) — the most serious change — they gathered confidently at their annual Cannes meeting. As one of the fields most greatly influenced by AI, advertising offers a preview of how the technology will reshape other industries. (面对人工智能——最严峻的变化——他们自信地聚集在一年一度的戛纳会议上。作为受人工智能影响最大的领域之一,广告业预示了这项技术将如何重塑其他行业)”以及最后一段“Though advertising has special survival skills, its AI experience shows what’s coming for all businesses. (尽管广告业拥有特殊的生存技能,但它在人工智能方面的经历预示着所有企业即将面临的局面)”可知,文章主要探讨了人工智能对广告行业的影响,包括其带来的变化和教训,并指出这些经验可供其他行业借鉴。故B项“AI and Advertising: Changes and Lessons (人工智能与广告:变革与启示)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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。
If you want to age well, you probably already know the basics: eat a balanced diet, go for walks, stay socially engaged. ____16____ That is strength training. Experts say it matters just as much as the basics, and sometimes even more.
For decades, weightlifting was viewed as the domain of bodybuilders, powerlifters, or young athletes. ____17____ Lifting weights — or using your own bodyweight against resistance — turns out to be one of the most powerful tools we have for protecting health. It’s not about shaping a six-pack. It’s about strengthening bones and muscles, and even lowering the risk of chronic (慢性的) diseases.
Bones may feel solid, but they’re surprisingly dynamic. They respond to the stresses you put on them, getting stronger when they’re challenged and weaker when they’re not. Every time you do a push-up, or pick up a weight, you’re putting gentle stress on your bones. That pressure acts like a signal to your body. ____18____ Over time, bones’ structure gets stronger.
____19____ Muscle itself is metabolically (代谢上) active tissue, meaning it burns calories even when you’re sitting still. Think of it as the body’s built-in engine, quietly working along to keep your metabolism running. Strength training also offers protection against many of the most common chronic diseases of aging.
So how do you get started? You don’t need to lift the heaviest weights in the gym. What matters more is showing up regularly and building strength gradually. ____20____ Even short, steady sessions a few times a week can add up to meaningful gains in health.
A. Its benefits don’t stop with bones.
B. It tells your body to reinforce bones.
C. But the study has overturned that assumption.
D. This process, however, can be risky for older adults.
E. But there is one more crucial habit for long-term health.
F. You also need to make it a habit you can sustain for years.
G. Therefore, focusing on diet and exercise is still the top priority.
【答案】16. E 17. C 18. B 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了力量训练对健康老龄化的关键作用,包括增强骨骼、保护肌肉、降低慢性病风险等益处,并给出了循序渐进的入门建议。
【16题详解】
上文“If you want to age well, you probably already know the basics: eat a balanced diet, go for walks, stay socially engaged.(如果你想健康地变老,你可能已经知道基本要点:均衡饮食、散步、保持社交活动)”列举了健康老龄化的常见基础习惯,E选项“But there is one more crucial habit for long-term health.(但还有一个对长期健康至关重要的习惯)”与上文构成转折关系,指出除了这些基础习惯外还有一个重要习惯尚未提及;下文“That is strength training.(那就是力量训练)”直接点明了这个习惯是什么,其中“That”指代E选项中的“one more crucial habit”,上下文语意连贯。
【17题详解】
上文“For decades, weightlifting was viewed as the domain of bodybuilders, powerlifters, or young athletes.(几十年来,举重被视为健美运动员、力量举运动员或年轻运动员的专属领域)”指出过去人们对举重的刻板印象——仅限于特定人群,C选项“But the study has overturned that assumption.(但研究推翻了这种假设)”与上文构成转折关系,指出新的研究改变了这一认知;下文“Lifting weights — or using your own bodyweight against resistance — turns out to be one of the most powerful tools we have for protecting health.(事实证明,举重——或利用自身体重进行抗阻训练——是我们保护健康最有力的工具之一)”具体说明了研究的新发现——力量训练对健康保护有普遍价值,与C选项中的“overturned that assumption”相呼应,上下文语意连贯。
【18题详解】
上文“Every time you do a push-up, or pick up a weight, you’re putting gentle stress on your bones. That pressure acts like a signal to your body.(每次你做俯卧撑或举起重量时,你都在对骨骼施加温和的压力。这种压力就像给身体发出的一个信号)”描述了力量训练对骨骼施加压力的过程,B选项“It tells your body to reinforce bones.(它告诉身体去加固骨骼)”承接上文,进一步解释这个“信号”的具体作用;下文“Over time, bones’ structure gets stronger.(随着时间的推移,骨骼结构会变得更强健)”说明了这一加固过程的最终结果,与B选项中的“reinforce bones”相呼应,上下文语意连贯。
【19题详解】
设空处位于段落开头,应为该段的主题句。下文“Muscle itself is metabolically (代谢上) active tissue, meaning it burns calories even when you’re sitting still. Think of it as the body’s built-in engine, quietly working along to keep your metabolism running. Strength training also offers protection against many of the most common chronic diseases of aging.(肌肉本身是代谢活跃的组织,这意味着即使你坐着不动,它也能燃烧卡路里。可以将其视为人体内部的“引擎”,它默默地运转着,以维持你的新陈代谢正常进行。力量训练还能提供对许多最常见的老年慢性病的保护)”重点阐述了力量训练对肌肉、代谢及慢性病预防的益处。A选项“Its benefits don’t stop with bones.(它的好处不仅仅停留在骨骼上)”准确概括了本段主旨,指出力量训练的益处不限于上段提到的骨骼强化,还涵盖肌肉和代谢等方面,符合段落主题句的功能。
【20题详解】
上文“What matters more is showing up regularly and building strength gradually.(更重要的是定期坚持和逐步增强力量)”指出了力量训练的关键在于规律性和渐进性,F选项“You also need to make it a habit you can sustain for years.(你还需要把它变成一个你能坚持多年的习惯)”承接上文,进一步补充说明除了规律性和渐进性外,还应当将力量训练培养为长期可持续的习惯;下文“Even short, steady sessions a few times a week can add up to meaningful gains in health.(即使是每周几次短暂而稳定的训练,也能累积成有意义的健康收益)”进一步说明这种习惯的具体形式及其效果,与F选项中的“a habit you can sustain”相呼应。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For years, I held the firm belief that being a good teacher meant showing up, no matter what life threw at me. I suffered from Crohn’s disease, whose pain could be almost unbearable at times. Yet I kept pushing through, skipping lunch to avoid triggering symptoms and staying late to perfect my teaching plans. I told myself that exhaustion was simply a sign of true dedication.
My students saw only the smiling, energetic teacher who greeted them each morning. Few knew about the pills hidden in my desk drawer or the quiet moments when I had to lean against the wall, waiting for the pain to pass. I took pride in never missing a single class, believing that my presence alone was what held everything together.
Then came the day when my body refused to keep silent. After weeks of pretending to be fine, I was sent to hospital with a severe complication, which forced me to leave my classroom. Strangely enough, my first thought was not about my own health. All I cared about was my students. I wondered who would guide them and how they could manage without me. The heavy sense of teacher guilt struck me even before the pain medication began to work.
During my stay in hospital, something totally unexpected happened, which reshaped my understanding of strength more deeply than the illness ever could. My students poured out their warmth by writing me sincere letters. My colleagues stepped in to help without any hesitation.
To my surprise, a special fund was even created to support my family, and warm meals began arriving at our door regularly. My co-workers visited me frequently, reassuring me that my only task now was to rest. I had long believed that without me, everything would fall apart — yet here I was, watching the world continue, held together by the very community I had devoted myself to.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
This experience opened my eyes completely.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I returned to the classroom a changed teacher.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
This experience opened my eyes completely. I finally realized that being a good teacher isn’t about never falling down, but about being brave enough to let others help when I’m weak. My stubborn dedication had made me overlook the warmth around me — my students’ care, my colleagues’ support, and the strength of our school community. True strength, I learned, isn’t in enduring alone, but in accepting kindness and letting our connections hold us up. Those letters and acts of care reminded me that teaching is a two-way journey, not a one-person sacrifice.
I returned to the classroom a changed teacher. I no longer hid my struggles; instead, I shared small truths about my health with my students, teaching them that it’s okay to be imperfect. I stopped skipping lunch and stayed late only when necessary, knowing that my well-being mattered too. Most importantly, I began to emphasize kindness and mutual support in my class, letting my students see that dedication means caring for ourselves as much as we care for others. That illness taught me the greatest lesson: a good teacher doesn’t hold everything together alone — we hold each other up.

Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs
Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid (小行星) impact changed life on Earth forever. Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs is an exhibition that explores the before-and-after story of this event, which led to the extinction of non-bird dinosaurs and the majority of animal and plant species on the planet.
In this exhibition, you can step back in time to experience the planet during the Cretaceous (白垩纪) Period. This was a time when dinosaurs walked the earth, some dinosaurs flew in the skies, and massive marine reptiles — such as Mosasaurus and Plesiosauria — ruled the oceans.
Plan Your Visit
For General Visitors: You can get museum tickets by selecting the number of tickets and a date for entry. You will then be able to add Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs or other ticketed exhibitions during the checkout process.
For Members: Museum members can see Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs for free.
Highlights You Will See
The exhibition features a variety of engaging displays and interactive elements, including:
·Life-size models of a 27-foot mosasaur, a 30-foot, long-necked plesiosaur, and other extinct species.
·Touchable exhibits, including a cast of a mosasaur tooth, a real fossil of a Triceratops (a kind of dinosaur) foot, and a cast of Triceratops skin.
·An amazing model showing the diversity of Cretaceous life in what today is the western United States.
·An overall view video experience that recreates the moment the asteroid crashed into what is now the Yucatan Peninsula.

At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being.
Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.
She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state — deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings.
When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures.
Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life.
4. Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture?
A. Because of a sports injury.
B. Because of financial investment.
C. Because of emotional anxiety.
D. Because of a firm’s recommendation.
5. What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach?
A. It relied on surroundings over needles.
B. It used finger pressure instead of needles.
C. It combined examination with assessment.
D. It prioritized observation over communication.
6. How did the author feel after having acupuncture?
A. Tired. B. Pressured.
C. Cautious. D. Peaceful.
7. What does the author learn from her experience?
A. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
C. Busy hands make a happy heart.
D. A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor.
C
A growing body of research from the past twenty years highlights that strong social relationships are crucial for our long-term physical and mental health. Obviously, chronic (慢性的) loneliness has been linked to a high risk of death. While the exact reasons remain under study, evidence increasingly suggests that our social lives directly influence our biological health.
A key challenge has been determining cause and effect. Many studies are observational, meaning they find a link but cannot prove that poor social connections cause poor health. It is possible that existing health issues lead to weaker social ties, or that other factors — like substance abuse — harm both health and relationships at the same time.
However, new research strengthens the case that strong social bonds actively protect our health. A recent study, examining over 2,000 middle-aged Americans, investigated a concept called “cumulative (累积的) social advantage (CSA)”. This measure combines four areas: support from communities, quality of parent-child relationships, community involvement, and emotional support from close ones.
Researchers compared participants’ CSA scores with their blood samples, using an advanced biological age marker. The results revealed a clear pattern: Individuals with higher social advantage tended to have slower biological aging and lower levels of inflammation (炎症). Essentially, better social connections correlated with a younger biological state.
While this study still shows correlation rather than proven causation (因果关系), it points to meaningful biological differences. By focusing on long-term markers like inflammation and cellular aging, it reduces the likelihood that the findings are merely due to lifestyle choices like diet or exercise. It suggests that strong, positive relationships may cause subtle, lasting physiological benefits — such as better immune function and stress regulation — which protect the body over time.
Therefore, nurturing friendships and community ties may be just as important for health as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. Prioritizing meaningful social connections is not only good for our happiness but can be a vital investment in our long-term well-being.
8. What can be the relationship between social lives and human health?
A. Interactive. B. Short-term.
C. One-way. D. Irrelevant.
9. Why does the author mention CSA?
A. To offer advice on community involvement.
B. To show the negative effects of inflammation.
C. To explain how biological aging is measured.
D. To present a way to judge social conditions.
10. What do the long-term markers help the study do?
A. Rule out lifestyle choices as the only explanation.
B. Confirm inflammation as a contributor to aging.
C. Prove social relationships ensure better health.
D. Suggest diet matters less than social ties.
11. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To make a recommendation. B. To make a call.
C. To make a conclusion. D. To make a guess.
D
When advertising leaders call themselves “cockroaches (蟑螂)”, it is no self-criticism. It means that they have an extraordinary ability to survive great changes. Copywriters adjusted to radio in the 1920s; artists accepted TV in the 1950s; agencies survived the 2000s shift to online ads. Facing artificial intelligence (AI) — the most serious change — they gathered confidently at their annual Cannes meeting. As one of the fields most greatly influenced by AI, advertising offers a preview of how the technology will reshape other industries.
The gap between human ad workers and AI chatbots is narrower than imagined. Creative work was once thought safe from automation — large language models (LLMs) value predictability more than creativity. Yet while truly creative ads like attaching step-counters to chickens to promote free-range eggs are still made by humans, leading technology companies now offer AI tools that produce acceptable videos or rewrite ad copy. However, with large amounts of money spent on ads yearly, most goes to common campaigns. The claim that AI will handle 95% of marketing work and that humans may only keep the 5% most creative tasks is more a warning than an exaggeration (夸张).
Big companies gain most from AI, which goes against the idea that AI will make skills and intelligence available to all. Small businesses benefit — they can now make TV-quality ads for thousands instead of millions — but some big tech firms control half the global ad market. AI needs expensive computing power and large data sets, resources only the rich can get. Unlike human intelligence, which is widely spread, AI can be bought. Instead of making the competition fair, AI lets the wealthy hoard competitive advantages.
AI’s effects are hard to predict. Advertisers are moving budgets from TV to simple outdoor billboards — AI now uses big data to prove if people who saw the billboard bought the product, turning guesses into clear results. Traditional public relations is another unexpected winner: As consumers use chatbots more, brands must make LLMs speak well of them. The best way is to influence the news sources LLMs depend on. In the AI age, offline communication may work better than high-tech “search-engine optimization”. Though advertising has special survival skills, its AI experience shows what’s coming for all businesses.
12. What does the example of the “step-counter chicken campaign” mainly show?
A. The wide use of creative marketing strategies.
B. The rapid development of AI advertising tools.
C. AI’s inability to finish common advertising tasks.
D. Humans’ unique advantage in creative advertising.
13. What does the underlined word “hoard” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Lose. B. Keep.
C. Share. D. Exchange.
14. What mainly leads to the growing popularity of outdoor billboards?
A. AI’s ability to measure their effects accurately.
B. Their stronger visual attraction than TV ads.
C. Their lower cost than high-tech online campaigns.
D. Consumers’ growing preference for offline advertising.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI: A Threat to Advertising Leaders.
B. AI and Advertising: Changes and Lessons.
C. Big Companies: Winners of AI Revolution.
D. “Cockroaches” in AIAds: A Way to Survive.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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。
If you want to age well, you probably already know the basics: eat a balanced diet, go for walks, stay socially engaged. ____16____ That is strength training. Experts say it matters just as much as the basics, and sometimes even more.
For decades, weightlifting was viewed as the domain of bodybuilders, powerlifters, or young athletes. ____17____ Lifting weights — or using your own bodyweight against resistance — turns out to be one of the most powerful tools we have for protecting health. It’s not about shaping a six-pack. It’s about strengthening bones and muscles, and even lowering the risk of chronic (慢性的) diseases.
Bones may feel solid, but they’re surprisingly dynamic. They respond to the stresses you put on them, getting stronger when they’re challenged and weaker when they’re not. Every time you do a push-up, or pick up a weight, you’re putting gentle stress on your bones. That pressure acts like a signal to your body. ____18____ Over time, bones’ structure gets stronger.
____19____ Muscle itself is metabolically (代谢上) active tissue, meaning it burns calories even when you’re sitting still. Think of it as the body’s built-in engine, quietly working along to keep your metabolism running. Strength training also offers protection against many of the most common chronic diseases of aging.
So how do you get started? You don’t need to lift the heaviest weights in the gym. What matters more is showing up regularly and building strength gradually. ____20____ Even short, steady sessions a few times a week can add up to meaningful gains in health.
A. Its benefits don’t stop with bones.
B. It tells your body to reinforce bones.
C. But the study has overturned that assumption.
D. This process, however, can be risky for older adults.
E. But there is one more crucial habit for long-term health.
F. You also need to make it a habit you can sustain for years.
G. Therefore, focusing on diet and exercise is still the top priority.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For years, I held the firm belief that being a good teacher meant showing up, no matter what life threw at me. I suffered from Crohn’s disease, whose pain could be almost unbearable at times. Yet I kept pushing through, skipping lunch to avoid triggering symptoms and staying late to perfect my teaching plans. I told myself that exhaustion was simply a sign of true dedication.
My students saw only the smiling, energetic teacher who greeted them each morning. Few knew about the pills hidden in my desk drawer or the quiet moments when I had to lean against the wall, waiting for the pain to pass. I took pride in never missing a single class, believing that my presence alone was what held everything together.
Then came the day when my body refused to keep silent. After weeks of pretending to be fine, I was sent to hospital with a severe complication, which forced me to leave my classroom. Strangely enough, my first thought was not about my own health. All I cared about was my students. I wondered who would guide them and how they could manage without me. The heavy sense of teacher guilt struck me even before the pain medication began to work.
During my stay in hospital, something totally unexpected happened, which reshaped my understanding of strength more deeply than the illness ever could. My students poured out their warmth by writing me sincere letters. My colleagues stepped in to help without any hesitation.
To my surprise, a special fund was even created to support my family, and warm meals began arriving at our door regularly. My co-workers visited me frequently, reassuring me that my only task now was to rest. I had long believed that without me, everything would fall apart — yet here I was, watching the world continue, held together by the very community I had devoted myself to.
