Do women make for better endurance athletes than men?
You only need to think of any marathon you’ve watched to assume that men tend to outperform women in sport.
But an interesting recent review 1 (publish) in the journal Sports Medicine has triggered the discussion. It highlighted that the male-female performance gap in ultra-endurance competitions (events typically more than six hours) is as low as 4 percent, 2 it’s around 10 percent in traditional endurance sport. And the difference seems to reduce the longer the event becomes, to the point that women even outperform men when 3 comes to events like ultra-distance swimming. Just look at the finishing times for the 45.8 km Manhattan Island marathon swim. On average over the past 30 years, the best women 4 (be) 12 to 14 percent faster than the best men.
There are lots of theories as to 5 women might make better ultra-endurance athletes. If we look at the physiology, men tend 6 (have) more type II muscle fibers, which are good for high power output sports such as sprinting (短跑). Women have more type I muscle fibers, which produce less force but are more resistant to exhaustion — ideal for ultra-endurance events.
Another theory is that women are better than men at burning fat for fuel and so they have spare essential carbohydrate (碳水化合物) stores. This would mean they’re 7 (likely) to hit ‘the wall’ in a race. Other studies show that women are more likely to keep a consistent pace, 8 going too hard too soon.
Sports psychologists have also suggested that women are generally better at bearing pain, reframing feelings such as exhaustion and enjoying the process rather than worrying about the outcome, all of 9 might lead to a better performance.
As persuasive as these theories are, it’s difficult to be certain. Ultra-endurance events are niche (小众项目) and the small numbers of women 10 (participate) make it challenging to draw conclusions, and it’s rare to find direct comparisons with men. Hopefully this will change over time.
【答案】
1.published 2.while 3.it 4.have been 5.why 6.to have 7.less likely 8.instead of/rather than 9.which 10.participating
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨超耐力运动中女性表现不输甚至优于男性的现象,分析生理、体能及心理等方面的原因,也指出研究存在的局限性。
1.考查非谓语动词。句意:但最近发表在《运动医学》期刊上的一篇有趣的综述引发了这一讨论。此处为非谓语动词作定语,a review与publish为被动关系,用过去分词published作后置定语。故填published。
2.考查连词。句意:该综述强调,在超耐力比赛(通常耗时六小时以上的赛事)中,男女选手的成绩差距低至4%,而在传统耐力运动中这一差距约为10%。此处表前后两种情况的对比,用连词while,意为“然而”。故填while。
3.考查代词。句意:而且赛事时长越长,这一差距似乎就越小,以至于在超远距离游泳这类赛事中,女性的表现甚至优于男性。此处为固定句型when it comes to...,意为“当谈到……,涉及……时”,用代词it。故填it。
4.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去30年里,平均而言,女子最佳选手的成绩比男子最佳选手快12%到14%。根据时间状语over the past 30 years可知,此处强调从过去持续到现在的情况,用现在完成时,主语the best women为复数,助动词用have。故填have been。
5.考查宾语从句。句意:关于为何女性可能成为更优秀的超耐力运动员,有很多相关理论。此处引导宾语从句,作as to的宾语,从句中不缺主语和宾语,但句意不完整,结合句意,此处缺少原因状语,表“为什么”,用连接副词why。故填why。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:从生理结构来看,男性往往拥有更多的II型肌纤维,这类肌纤维适合短跑等高强度爆发力的运动。此处为固定搭配tend to do sth.,意为“往往会做某事,倾向于做某事”,用动词不定式to have。故填to have。
7.考查形容词比较级。句意:这意味着她们在比赛中更不容易遭遇“撞墙期”。根据前文女性更擅长以脂肪为能量来源,保留碳水化合物储备的内容可知,此处表“更不可能的”,用likely的比较级less likely。故填less likely。
8.考查固定搭配。句意:其他研究表明,女性更有可能保持稳定的配速,而不会一开始就用力过猛。结合句意,此处表“而不是”,后接动名词going,用instead of/rather than。故填instead of/ rather than。
9.考查定语从句。句意:运动心理学家还表示,女性通常更能忍受疼痛,能重新看待疲惫等感受,更享受过程而非担忧结果,这些因素都可能让她们取得更好的成绩。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面整个句子提到的内容,关系词在从句中作介词of的宾语,用关系代词which。故填which。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意:超耐力赛事属于小众项目,参与的女性人数较少,这使得得出结论颇具难度,也很难找到与男性的直接对比数据。此处为非谓语动词作定语,women与participate为主动关系,用现在分词participating作后置定语。故填participating。
Section B (10分)
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A.identifying B.exploiting C. interventions D.biologically E. statistically F. randomized
G. linked H. regulating I. trial J. average K. clinical
New Research Links Daily Multivitamins to Slower Biological Aging
Epigenetic (后成的;外遗传的) clocks estimate biological aging based on tiny changes in our DNA.These clocks look at specific sites in our DNA 11 gene expression and change naturally as we get older, helping track with mortality and the pace of aging.
“There is a lot of interest today in 12 ways to not just live longer, but to live better,” said Dr. Howard Sesso, a researcher at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. “It was exciting to see benefits of a multivitamin 13 accessible, safe 14 with markers of biological aging. This study opens the door to learning more about that contribute to healthier, higher-quality aging.”
For their research, Dr. Sesso and his colleagues used data from the well-established Cocoa Supplement Multivitamins Outcomes Study (COSMOS). They analyzed DNA methylation data from blood samples of 98 randomly selected healthy participants with a(n) 15 chronological age of 70.
The participants were 16 to take a daily cocoa extract and multivitamin; daily cocoa extract and placebo; placebo and multivitamin; or placebos only. Samples were analyzed for changes in five epigenetic clocks from the start of the 17 and at the end of the first and second years. Compared to the placebo only group, people in the multivitamin group had slowing in all five epigenetic clocks, including 18 clocks that are predictive of mortality.
The changes equated to about four months less biological aging over the course of two years. Additionally, people who were 19 older than their actual age at the start of the trial benefited the most.
“We plan to do follow-up research to determine if the slowing of biological aging — observed through these five epigenetic clocks, and additional or new ones — persists after the trial ends,” said Dr. Yanbin Dong, a researcher at Augusta University.
“A lot of people take a multivitamin without necessarily knowing any benefits from taking it, so the more we can learn about its potential health benefits, the better,” Dr. Sesso added. “Within COSMOS, we are fortunate and excited to build upon a rich resource of biomarker data to test how two interventions may improve biological aging and reduce age-related 20 outcomes.”

II. Reading Comprehension (45分)
Section A (15分)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Language allows us to describe actions, qualities, and relationships in both real and imagined experiences. A key question in linguistics (语言学) is how languages developed. Recent research suggests that iconicity — the connection between form and meaning — may have played a crucial role in the 21 .
People can’t overcome language barriers and understand each other without iconicity. We often use our hands and bodies, 22 , to act out meanings, showing the sizes and shapes of objects. The key to forming new symbols is the use of iconicity.
Not limited to 23 , iconicity appears in visual communication too. Traffic signs, food packaging, and maps all use iconicity to make information easy to understand, regardless of the 24 .
Iconicity also exists in 25 . To explore this, researchers organized a contest where participants recorded sounds to express different meanings. These sounds could not contain actual words or 26 expressions like “BOOM” for an explosion. Listeners then tried to match the sounds to a set of written options, and the contestant whose sounds were most accurately 27 won the contest.
The results were surprising — listeners successfully identified the intended 28 of the sounds. Yet, all the contestants and listeners were English speakers. Thus, it was possible that listeners’ success relied on 29 cultural knowledge.
To test if this phenomenon existed across 30 , researchers conducted a broader Internet survey, translating the experiment into 25 languages. Participants from different linguistic backgrounds listened to the sounds and 31 their meanings from six written options.
The findings showed 32 accuracy levels across different language groups. English speakers had the highest accuracy rate at 74%, while Portuguese speakers scored 34%. Though far from perfect, these results were much higher than the expected chance rate of 8%.
These studies show that our capacity for iconic communication has played a fundamental role in language 33 . Iconicity enables individuals to express meanings in ways that are not 34 dependent on specific linguistic knowledge. Without this 35 , language may never have developed into the complex system we have today.

Section B (22分)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Chinese check-ups
Foreigners visiting China often admire the country’s high-speed rail and glittering skylines in an exaggerated way. Its old-fashioned medical system, though, gets less praise. So Amie, a British woman, caused a stir online last month with a glowing video review of a public hospital in Beijing. With persistent stomach pain, and facing a long wait to see a doctor in Britain, she went to China, where she had once lived. Tests, diagnosis and treatment were quick and cost some 2,800 yuan. Even including the air fare, that was still less than she would have had to pay at a private hospital at home, she said. After Amie’s video went viral on Chinese social media, other foreigners chimed in with their own stories of cheap and efficient care in China.
A decade ago, officials set a target for China to become an “internationally competitive” destination for medical tourism by 2030, much as South Korea has, with wealthy Chinese often traveling there for complex treatments or cosmetic surgery. Now China is drawing a growing number of foreign patients. Last year its hospitals received nearly 1.3m of them, up almost 74% from 2022, according to Chinese media. China’s medical-tourism market is expected to increase from around 1.2 bn in 2025 to 3.4 bn by 2035, according to Market Research Future, a consultancy.
Many of China’s medical facilities are still second-rate, but in recent years its best hospitals have gained top-notch doctors and equipment. For some elective procedures such as laser eye surgery, they are world-class. They are also usually cheaper than Western hospitals. Many have English-speaking staff. And since 2023 China has fast expanded its visa-free entry scheme. This makes it easier to drop in for a check-up.
Most of the foreigners to be found in Chinese hospitals are still residents rather than medical tourists. But big cities like Shanghai and Beijing are starting to receive more patients from abroad. Growing numbers of Vietnamese are seeking treatment in hospitals in southern China. And Russians are popping over the border to hospitals in the north-east.
State media see this as an encouraging sign of the country’s growing appeal to patients overseas. “Compared with some Western countries, China’s medical system provides more efficient and affordable care,” a researcher told China Daily, a state newspaper. Such messages chime with the current publicity campaign to paint America as an insecure place.
But some Chinese worry about possible new strains on China’s medical system, which is largely publicly funded. Chinese doctors are hugely overworked. Queues often snake around hospitals. “Foreigners coming here to enjoy the benefits of Chinese taxpayers isn’t fair,” said one commenter on Amie’s video. “Will foreigners seize our medical resources?” asked an article on WeChat, a social-media app. Such worries appear overblown — public hospitals are only allowed to use 10% of capacity for international departments.
36.The underlined phrase “chimed in with” in paragraph 1 implies that foreigners ______.
A.highly admired the advanced infrastructure in China
B.agreed with Amie by sharing their similar experiences
C.challenged the high cost of air fares charged in Britain
D.raised questions about the doctors’ diagnosis in Beijing
37.What does the author of the passage say about South Korea’s medical system?
A.It will become a destination for medical tourism by 2030.
B.Its low efficiency causes it to lose foreign tourists to China.
C.Its hospitals are largely funded by wealthy Chinese investors.
D.It has become internationally competitive in medical tourism.
38.What can be inferred about America’ medical system according the publicity campaign?
A.Doctors in America are hugely overworked.
B.It is insecure to fund public hospitals in U.S.
C.One bad illness can ruin someone financially.
D.Seizing the national medical resources is unfair.
39.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The rise of medical tourism in China and its implications.
B.How foreigners compare hospitals in China and Britain.
C.Needless concern over the capacity for foreign patients.
D.Why China adopts visa-free policy for foreign tourists.
【答案】36.B 37.D 38.C 39.A
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国医疗旅游的兴起及其带来的影响,包括外国患者数量的增长、对医疗系统的看法以及存在的担忧等。
36.词句猜测题。根据第一段中“After Amie’s video went viral on Chinese social media, other foreigners chimed in with their own stories of cheap and efficient care in China.(在Amie的视频在中国社交媒体上疯传后,其他外国人也chimed in with他们在中国接受廉价高效治疗的故事。)”可知,“chimed in with”在此处表示其他外国人与Amie有同感,通过分享自己的类似经历来支持她的观点。故选B。
37.细节理解题。根据第二段中“A decade ago, officials set a target for China to become an “internationally competitive” destination for medical tourism by 2030, much as South Korea has, with wealthy Chinese often traveling there for complex treatments or cosmetic surgery.(十年前,中国官方设定目标:到2030年,要让中国成为“具有国际竞争力”的医疗旅游目的地,效仿韩国的成功模式 —— 此前不少中国富人常远赴韩国接受复杂治疗或整形手术。)”可知,韩国的医疗旅游已经具有国际竞争力。故选D。
38.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中““Compared with some Western countries, China’s medical system provides more efficient and affordable care,” a researcher told China Daily, a state newspaper. Such messages chime with the current publicity campaign to paint America as an insecure place.(官方报纸《中国日报》援引一名研究人员的话称:“与部分西方国家相比,中国的医疗服务更高效、收费更亲民。”这类表述与当前将美国描绘为缺乏保障之地的宣传基调相吻合。)”可知,将美国描绘成一个不安全的地方,通常意味着在那里生活或接受医疗服务可能存在风险,包括经济上的风险,即一场大病可能会让人在经济上陷入困境。故选C。
39.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“After Amie’s video went viral on Chinese social media, other foreigners chimed in with their own stories of cheap and efficient care in China.(在Amie的视频在中国社交媒体上疯传后,其他外国人也纷纷分享了他们在中国接受廉价高效治疗的故事。)”以及最后一段中“But some Chinese worry about possible new strains on China’s medical system, which is largely publicly funded.(但一些中国人担心,这可能会给主要由公共资金支持的中国医疗系统带来新的压力。)”可知,文章主要讲述了中国医疗旅游的兴起及其带来的影响,包括外国患者数量的增长、对医疗系统的看法以及存在的担忧等。A项“The rise of medical tourism in China and its implications.(中国医疗旅游的兴起及其影响)”符合题意。故选A。

Teens love to socialize, and these websites give them a chance to do that while playing games, exploring virtual worlds and taking quizzes. Of course, teens also need to be safe online and report any cyber bullies .
InstagramInstagram allows teens to upload photos of their daily life and share them with friends. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and that must be true because Instagram has around 300 million users who are active each month. The platform is all about photos with short captions (说明文字). When it comes to Instagram’s users, 53 percent of them are aged 18-29, but a big percentage of those may be even younger and simply list their age as 18 in order to use the platform.
Habbo HotelHabbo Hotel is a place for teens to chat. Each teen receives a personal room to decorate (装饰) with virtual objects. They can also dress their avatar (网络头像) in virtual clothes or create games to play with friends. The room might have music, be set up like a classroom, or have other features so different avatars can visit one another. Each room teens can interact in has an adult moderator (管理员) to make sure it stays safe.
FanlalaFanlala is a social network that gives teens who love celebrities, music and TV shows a place to interact. Through it, a user can get the latest news and gossip on their favorite shows, as well as take quizzes and polls to test their knowledge. Teens can set up their own profile on Fanlala and interact with other users.
Teen ChatTeen Chat is a place for teens to interact with one another through forums (论坛) according to their interests. For example, there are chat rooms for those who love anime (动漫) and for those who’ve just started college. There are also chat rooms for things like music, games, and sports. The platform offers a “Friend Finder” tool that will help teens search for people who live locally to them.
40.What makes Instagram different from other sites listed in the text?

Christophe Petyt is the world’s leading dealer in fake masterpieces. His company employs over eighty painters, each steeped in the style of a particular artist or school. “We choose them very carefully,” he says. “They’re usually people with very good technique but not much creativity, who are unlikely to make it as artists in their own right. But they love the great works and have real insight into what’s gone into them.”
The view when Petyt started out was that very little of this could be legal. He was pursued through the French courts by museums and by descendants of the artists, with several major French art dealers cheering from the sidelines. “The establishment was suspicious of us,” says Petyt, “but for the wrong reasons, I think. Some people want to keep all the best art for themselves.” He won the case and as the law now stands, the works and signatures of any artist who has been dead for seventy years can be freely copied on condition that the copy cannot be passed off to dealers as the real thing.
Until he started the business ten years ago, Petyt, a former business-school student, barely knew one artist from another. Then one particular painting by Van Gogh caught his eye. At $10 million, it was well beyond his reach so he came up with the idea of getting an art-student friend to paint him a copy. In an old frame it looked absolutely wonderful, and Petyt began to wonder what market there might be for it. He picked up a coffee-table book of well-known paintings, earmarked a random selection of works and got his friend to knock them off. “Within a few months I had about twenty good copies,” he says, “so I organized an exhibition. In two weeks we’d sold the lot, and got commissions for sixty more.” It became clear that a huge market existed for fake masterpieces.
Petyt’s paintings are exhibited in places with luxurious houses in need of equally impressive works of art. Although their owners include rock stars, fashion designers and top businesspeople, they either cannot afford or more likely simply cannot obtain great works of art. Petyt is understandably reluctant to name any of his clients, but says that sometimes even the owner of the original will occasionally commission a copy. “The best paintings are so valuable,” he explains, “that it’s risky to have them at home and the costs of security and insurance are huge. So some collectors keep the original in a bank and hang our copy.”
43.What do we learn about the painters employed by Petyt?
A.They need to be specially trained to produce fake masterpieces.
B.They have been chosen because of their painting techniques.
C.They are able to reproduce paintings of a wide range of styles.

B.He accepts that they were useful in helping to establish his integrity.
C.He regrets that they gained the support of other art dealers in France.
D.He respects the right of the real artists’families to protect their interests.
45.In the wake of the court case he won, Petyt ________.
A.no longer reproduces fake signatures on paintings he sells
B.has been able to copy the work of more contemporary artists
C.is obliged to make sure his products can be identified as copies
D.has agreed not to market his products through certain channels
46.What is implied about the majority of Petyt’s customers?
A.They regard works of art as a must in their life.
B.They have little real interest in contemporary art.
C.They buy the paintings purely as a form of financial investment.
D.They are wealthy enough to buy the original works of art if they wanted.
【答案】43.B 44.A 45.C 46.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了世界顶级仿名画经销商Christophe Petyt的经营业务、发展历程、法律争议以及客户情况等相关内容。
43.细节理解题。根据第一段中“His company employs over eighty painters, each steeped in the style of a particular artist or school. “We choose them very carefully,” he says. “They’re usually people with very good technique but not much creativity, who are unlikely to make it as artists in their own right.(他的公司拥有八十多名画师,每位画师都精通某位特定艺术家或流派的风格。他说:“我们对他们的挑选非常严格。他们通常都是技艺精湛但缺乏创造力的人,不太可能凭借自身成为真正的艺术家。”)”可知,Petyt雇佣的画家是因其绘画技巧而被选中的。故选B。
44.推理判断题。根据第二段中“He was pursued through the French courts by museums and by descendants of the artists, with several major French art dealers cheering from the sidelines. “The establishment was suspicious of us,” says Petyt, “but for the wrong reasons, I think. Some people want to keep all the best art for themselves.”(他遭到了法国各大博物馆以及艺术家后代的联合追讨,而一些法国大型艺术品经销商则在一旁为他们加油助威。“权威机构对我们心存疑虑,”佩蒂特说,“但我认为,他们的疑虑是出于错误的原因。有些人只想把所有最好的艺术品据为己有。”)”可推断,Petyt认为那些试图证明他行为非法的人并非出于公益动机,而是想把好艺术留给自己。故选A。
45.细节理解题。根据第二段中“He won the case and as the law now stands, the works and signatures of any artist who has been dead for seventy years can be freely copied on condition that the copy cannot be passed off to dealers as the real thing.(他赢得了这场官司,根据现行法律,任何已去世七十年的艺术家的作品和签名都可以自由复制,但前提是复制品不能被当作真品卖给经销商)”可知,在赢得官司后,Petyt有义务确保其产品能被识别为复制品。故选C。
46.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Petyt’s paintings are exhibited in places with luxurious houses in need of equally impressive works of art. Although their owners include rock stars, fashion designers and top businesspeople, they either cannot afford or more likely simply cannot obtain great works of art.(Petyt的画作在那些拥有豪华住宅且需要同样令人印象深刻的艺术作品的地方展出。尽管画作的主人包括摇滚明星、时装设计师和顶级商人,但他们要么买不起,更有可能的是根本买不到伟大的艺术作品)”可推断,Petyt的大多数客户将艺术作品视为生活中的必需品,所以才会在无法获得真品时选择购买仿制品。故选A。
Section C (8分)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
If you remove and throw away the peel of most fruits and vegetables, you might be cheating yourself out of a rich source of nutrients, fiber, and phytochemicals-bioactive compounds found in plants. In some instances, the peel of some fruits has been shown to have antioxidant (抗氧化剂) levels that are much higher than the inside of the fruit. 47 Some food manufacturers are enriching functional foods, such as breads and biscuits, with fruit and vegetable peels.
48 However, Keith Ayoob, a registered dietitian-nutritionist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in The Bronx, points out, “That’s where the nutrients are hidden.” “Colors have power because they indicate the presence of antioxidants,” which help protect cells from damage caused by pollutants, ultraviolet rays, and other sources of unstable molecules called free radicals (自由基).
Because “the peel is the protective layer on fruits and vegetables, it tends to have concentrated compounds like phytochemicals that serve as defense mechanisms against the sun, rain, and pests,” says Wendy Bazilian, a nutritionist and public health consultant based in San Diego. “ 49 When you peel these fruits and vegetables, you literally peel off some of the nutrition.”
That’s not to say you should eat the skin of every fruit and vegetable. Avoid cantaloupe, avocado, and pineapple skin, and always peel onions and garlic. 50 That’s why it’s important to clean them thoroughly. “Rinse it under clean water and use a vegetable brush or paper towel on the skin,” advises Lisa Young, an adjunct professor of nutrition at NYU. Of course, you should wash organically grown produce, as well, to remove dirt and germs.
A.Those defense approaches guard our health, too.
B.Besides reducing food waste, eating the peels has nutritional benefits.
C.People usually ignore the peels of dark-colored fruits and vegetables.
D.The potential health effects of consuming peels are so promising.
E.Let’s continue to conduct further research on fruit peels.
F.It’s true that edible skins of conventional fruits and vegetables may contain pesticide remains.
【答案】47.D 48.C 49.A 50.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了果蔬皮的营养价值、食用注意事项及不同果蔬皮的处理建议。
47.根据上文“the peel of some fruits has been shown to have antioxidant levels that are much higher than the inside of the fruit. (一些水果的果皮被证明抗氧化剂含量远高于果肉)”可知,此处强调果皮的高营养价值。空处需承接上文并引出下文“食品制造商将果蔬皮添加到食品中”的现象。D选项“食用果皮对健康的潜在影响非常可观”既总结了果皮的营养价值(抗氧化剂等),又通过“potential health effects”自然过渡到制造商对果皮的应用,符合语境。故选D。
48.根据下文“However, Keith Ayoob, a registered dietitian-nutritionist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in The Bronx, points out, “That’s where the nutrients are hidden.” (然而,布朗克斯阿尔伯特・爱因斯坦医学院的注册营养师基思・阿尤布指出:营养就藏在那里)”可知,“However”表转折,说明空处应先陈述人们对果皮的忽视。C选项“人们通常忽视深色果蔬的果皮”中的“ignore the peels”与下文“nutrients are hidden”形成对比,通过转折突出果皮的营养价值,逻辑连贯。故选C。
49.根据上文“Because ‘the peel is the protective layer on fruits and vegetables, it tends to have concentrated compounds like phytochemicals that serve as defense mechanisms against the sun, rain, and pests,’ says Wendy Bazilian, a nutritionist and public health consultant based in San Diego. (圣地亚哥的营养学家和公共卫生顾问温迪・巴西利安表示:“因为果皮是水果和蔬菜的保护层,所以它往往含有植物化学物质等浓缩化合物,这些化合物充当着抵御阳光、雨水和害虫的防御机制”)”提到果皮是保护层,含有作为防御机制的植物化学物质用于抵御阳光、雨水和害虫”。空处需将果皮的“防御机制”与人体健康关联。A选项“这些防御方式也保护我们的健康”中those指代上文的“defense mechanisms”,通过“guard our health”点明果皮对人体的益处,承接语段。故选A。
50.根据下文“That’s why it’s important to clean them thoroughly. (这就是为什么必须彻底清洗它们)”中的“that”指代具体原因。F选项“的确,常规种植的果蔬可食用皮可能含有农药残留”,指出果皮可能存在的安全隐患(农药残留),与“clean thoroughly”形成因果关系,解释了清洗的必要性。故选F。
III. Summary Writing (10分)
51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Dear Mom, Clear My Calendar
September is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summer’s end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child’s schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child’s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts (武术).
Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment”, three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time?
A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth, however, is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves.
A child’s time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it’s time to come for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle time now.
Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That’s too much for a five-year-old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let’s be honest with ourselves — our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As the new school term draws near, parents find it really tough to reject various after-school enrichment classes for their young children, which greatly dismays many frontline educators. They do this mainly to ease deep guilt from insufficient company; however, children badly need unstructured free time instead of overloaded daily schedules.
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章从新学期来临家长为孩子安排大量课外班的现象切入,分析了背后家长因陪伴不足而产生的愧疚心理,并指出孩子真正需要的是不被安排的闲暇时光。
【详解】1. 要点摘录
①Parents find it hard to say no to the numerous activity options for their young children.
②Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend.
③Parents enroll kids in many classes mainly to ease their guilt of not spending enough time with them.

【点睛】[高分句型1] As the new school term draws near, parents find it really tough to reject various after-school enrichment classes for their young children, which greatly dismays many frontline educators. (运用as引导时间状语从句和which引导非限制性定语从句,对第一段和第二段进行概括,逻辑清晰)
[高分句型2] They do this mainly to ease deep guilt from insufficient company; however, children badly need unstructured free time instead of overloaded daily schedules. (运用连接副词however构建句间对比,搭配介词短语instead of形成分句内的双层对比结构,整合第三、四、五段的核心内容,表达紧凑)
IV. Translation (15分)
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
52.他不太有动力运动,除非他同事时不时拉着他一起去打网球。(unless) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He doesn’t have much motivation for sports/to exercise unless his colleagues take/drag him to play tennis from time to time.
【详解】考查时态、固定短语。表示“他”用he,作主语。表示“不太有动力”用do not have much motivation,结合语境可知本句用一般现在时,主语为第三人称单数,谓语用第三人称单数形式,即doesn’t have。表示“对运动”用for sports/to exercise。表示“除非”用unless,引导条件状语从句。表示“他的同事”用his colleague,使用复数形式表示泛指,作从句的主语。表示“拉着他去做某事”用take/drag him to do sth.,结合语境可知从句也用一般现在时,主语为复数,谓语用原形形式。表示“打网球”用play tennis,此处用不定式形式,表示“时不时”用from time to time。句首单词首字母大写。故翻译为He doesn’t have much motivation for sports/to exercise unless his colleagues take/drag him to play tennis from time to time.
53.这个城市的音乐源头可追溯到两千多年前,难怪会被联合国选为音乐之都。(trace) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The origin of the music of the city can be traced back over 2000 years ago. No wonder it is chosen as the city of music by the United nations.
【详解】考查被动语态、固定短语。“源头”表达为origin,“……的音乐”用of the music ,“这个城市”是the city,所以“这个城市的音乐源头”是The origin of the music of the city 。“追溯”表达为trace,“源头”和“追溯”之间是被动关系,即源头被追溯,所以用被动语态,“能被追溯”是can be traced,“追溯到”是固定短语trace back,“两千多年前”表达为over 2000 years ago。 “难怪”表达为No wonder。“它”表达为it。“被……选为”表达为be chosen as,“音乐之都”是the city of music,“由”表达为by。“联合国”是the United Nations。 这里陈述一般事实,用一般现在时的被动语态。故译为The origin of the music of the city can be traced back over 2000 years ago. No wonder it is chosen as the city of music by the United nations.
54.探险队在荒野中坚持了数周,但缺乏补给最终将使他们陷入危险。(spell) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】1/The expedition team persisted in/held on in the wilderness for several weeks, but lack of supplies eventually spelled danger for the team.
2/The expedition team had held on for weeks before a lack of supplies eventually spelled danger for the team.
【详解】考查时态、固定短语。表示“探险队”用the expedition team,在句中作主语,句首单词,首字母大写;表示“坚持”用persist in或hold on,动作发生在过去,时态用一般过去时,谓语用过去式persisted或held;表示“在荒野中”用in the wilderness,作地点状语;表示“数周”用for several weeks,作时间状语;表示“但”用but,连接两个句子表示转折关系;表示“缺乏补给”用lack of supplies,在句中作主语;表示“最终”用eventually,作时间状语;表示“给……带来危险”用spell danger for sb.,用一般过去时,谓语用过去式spelled ;表示“这支队伍”用the team,作spell danger for的宾语,翻译为The expedition team persisted in/held on in the wilderness for several weeks, but lack of supplies eventually spelled danger for the team.或者:表示“坚持”用hold on,“坚持”这一动作发生在“缺乏补给使他们陷入危险”之前,且“缺乏补给使他们陷入危险”是过去发生的事情,所以“坚持”这一动作是“过去的过去”,要用过去完成时,谓语用had held on;表示“在……之前”用before,引导时间状语从句;表示“缺乏补给”用a lack of supplies,在从句中作主语;表示“最终”用过去式spelled,翻译为The expedition team had held on for weeks before a lack of supplies eventually spelled danger for the team.故答案为:1/The expedition team persisted in/held on in the wilderness for several weeks, but lack of supplies eventually spelled danger for the team.2/The expedition team had held on for weeks before a lack of supplies eventually spelled danger for the team.
55.签署协议前,对方代表突然翻脸,我方代表斩钉截铁表示会采取措施,绝不会坐视不管。(measure) (汉译英)

I. Grammar and vocabulary
Section A (10分)
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Do women make for better endurance athletes than men?
You only need to think of any marathon you’ve watched to assume that men tend to outperform women in sport.
But an interesting recent review 1 (publish) in the journal Sports Medicine has triggered the discussion. It highlighted that the male-female performance gap in ultra-endurance competitions (events typically more than six hours) is as low as 4 percent, 2 it’s around 10 percent in traditional endurance sport. And the difference seems to reduce the longer the event becomes, to the point that women even outperform men when 3 comes to events like ultra-distance swimming. Just look at the finishing times for the 45.8 km Manhattan Island marathon swim. On average over the past 30 years, the best women 4 (be) 12 to 14 percent faster than the best men.
There are lots of theories as to 5 women might make better ultra-endurance athletes. If we look at the physiology, men tend 6 (have) more type II muscle fibers, which are good for high power output sports such as sprinting (短跑). Women have more type I muscle fibers, which produce less force but are more resistant to exhaustion — ideal for ultra-endurance events.
Another theory is that women are better than men at burning fat for fuel and so they have spare essential carbohydrate (碳水化合物) stores. This would mean they’re 7 (likely) to hit ‘the wall’ in a race. Other studies show that women are more likely to keep a consistent pace, 8 going too hard too soon.
Sports psychologists have also suggested that women are generally better at bearing pain, reframing feelings such as exhaustion and enjoying the process rather than worrying about the outcome, all of 9 might lead to a better performance.
As persuasive as these theories are, it’s difficult to be certain. Ultra-endurance events are niche (小众项目) and the small numbers of women 10 (participate) make it challenging to draw conclusions, and it’s rare to find direct comparisons with men. Hopefully this will change over time.
Section B (10分)
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

New Research Links Daily Multivitamins to Slower Biological Aging
Epigenetic (后成的;外遗传的) clocks estimate biological aging based on tiny changes in our DNA.These clocks look at specific sites in our DNA 11 gene expression and change naturally as we get older, helping track with mortality and the pace of aging.
“There is a lot of interest today in 12 ways to not just live longer, but to live better,” said Dr. Howard Sesso, a researcher at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. “It was exciting to see benefits of a multivitamin 13 accessible, safe 14 with markers of biological aging. This study opens the door to learning more about that contribute to healthier, higher-quality aging.”
For their research, Dr. Sesso and his colleagues used data from the well-established Cocoa Supplement Multivitamins Outcomes Study (COSMOS). They analyzed DNA methylation data from blood samples of 98 randomly selected healthy participants with a(n) 15 chronological age of 70.
The participants were 16 to take a daily cocoa extract and multivitamin; daily cocoa extract and placebo; placebo and multivitamin; or placebos only. Samples were analyzed for changes in five epigenetic clocks from the start of the 17 and at the end of the first and second years. Compared to the placebo only group, people in the multivitamin group had slowing in all five epigenetic clocks, including 18 clocks that are predictive of mortality.
The changes equated to about four months less biological aging over the course of two years. Additionally, people who were 19 older than their actual age at the start of the trial benefited the most.
“We plan to do follow-up research to determine if the slowing of biological aging — observed through these five epigenetic clocks, and additional or new ones — persists after the trial ends,” said Dr. Yanbin Dong, a researcher at Augusta University.
“A lot of people take a multivitamin without necessarily knowing any benefits from taking it, so the more we can learn about its potential health benefits, the better,” Dr. Sesso added. “Within COSMOS, we are fortunate and excited to build upon a rich resource of biomarker data to test how two interventions may improve biological aging and reduce age-related 20 outcomes.”
II. Reading Comprehension (45分)
Section A (15分)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Language allows us to describe actions, qualities, and relationships in both real and imagined experiences. A key question in linguistics (语言学) is how languages developed. Recent research suggests that iconicity — the connection between form and meaning — may have played a crucial role in the 21 .
People can’t overcome language barriers and understand each other without iconicity. We often use our hands and bodies, 22 , to act out meanings, showing the sizes and shapes of objects. The key to forming new symbols is the use of iconicity.
Not limited to 23 , iconicity appears in visual communication too. Traffic signs, food packaging, and maps all use iconicity to make information easy to understand, regardless of the 24 .
Iconicity also exists in 25 . To explore this, researchers organized a contest where participants recorded sounds to express different meanings. These sounds could not contain actual words or 26 expressions like “BOOM” for an explosion. Listeners then tried to match the sounds to a set of written options, and the contestant whose sounds were most accurately 27 won the contest.
The results were surprising — listeners successfully identified the intended 28 of the sounds. Yet, all the contestants and listeners were English speakers. Thus, it was possible that listeners’ success relied on 29 cultural knowledge.
To test if this phenomenon existed across 30 , researchers conducted a broader Internet survey, translating the experiment into 25 languages. Participants from different linguistic backgrounds listened to the sounds and 31 their meanings from six written options.
The findings showed 32 accuracy levels across different language groups. English speakers had the highest accuracy rate at 74%, while Portuguese speakers scored 34%. Though far from perfect, these results were much higher than the expected chance rate of 8%.
These studies show that our capacity for iconic communication has played a fundamental role in language 33 . Iconicity enables individuals to express meanings in ways that are not 34 dependent on specific linguistic knowledge. Without this 35 , language may never have developed into the complex system we have today.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Chinese check-ups
Foreigners visiting China often admire the country’s high-speed rail and glittering skylines in an exaggerated way. Its old-fashioned medical system, though, gets less praise. So Amie, a British woman, caused a stir online last month with a glowing video review of a public hospital in Beijing. With persistent stomach pain, and facing a long wait to see a doctor in Britain, she went to China, where she had once lived. Tests, diagnosis and treatment were quick and cost some 2,800 yuan. Even including the air fare, that was still less than she would have had to pay at a private hospital at home, she said. After Amie’s video went viral on Chinese social media, other foreigners chimed in with their own stories of cheap and efficient care in China.
A decade ago, officials set a target for China to become an “internationally competitive” destination for medical tourism by 2030, much as South Korea has, with wealthy Chinese often traveling there for complex treatments or cosmetic surgery. Now China is drawing a growing number of foreign patients. Last year its hospitals received nearly 1.3m of them, up almost 74% from 2022, according to Chinese media. China’s medical-tourism market is expected to increase from around 1.2 bn in 2025 to 3.4 bn by 2035, according to Market Research Future, a consultancy.
Many of China’s medical facilities are still second-rate, but in recent years its best hospitals have gained top-notch doctors and equipment. For some elective procedures such as laser eye surgery, they are world-class. They are also usually cheaper than Western hospitals. Many have English-speaking staff. And since 2023 China has fast expanded its visa-free entry scheme. This makes it easier to drop in for a check-up.
Most of the foreigners to be found in Chinese hospitals are still residents rather than medical tourists. But big cities like Shanghai and Beijing are starting to receive more patients from abroad. Growing numbers of Vietnamese are seeking treatment in hospitals in southern China. And Russians are popping over the border to hospitals in the north-east.
State media see this as an encouraging sign of the country’s growing appeal to patients overseas. “Compared with some Western countries, China’s medical system provides more efficient and affordable care,” a researcher told China Daily, a state newspaper. Such messages chime with the current publicity campaign to paint America as an insecure place.
But some Chinese worry about possible new strains on China’s medical system, which is largely publicly funded. Chinese doctors are hugely overworked. Queues often snake around hospitals. “Foreigners coming here to enjoy the benefits of Chinese taxpayers isn’t fair,” said one commenter on Amie’s video. “Will foreigners seize our medical resources?” asked an article on WeChat, a social-media app. Such worries appear overblown — public hospitals are only allowed to use 10% of capacity for international departments.
36.The underlined phrase “chimed in with” in paragraph 1 implies that foreigners ______.
A.highly admired the advanced infrastructure in China
B.agreed with Amie by sharing their similar experiences
C.challenged the high cost of air fares charged in Britain
D.raised questions about the doctors’ diagnosis in Beijing
37.What does the author of the passage say about South Korea’s medical system?
A.It will become a destination for medical tourism by 2030.
B.Its low efficiency causes it to lose foreign tourists to China.
C.Its hospitals are largely funded by wealthy Chinese investors.
D.It has become internationally competitive in medical tourism.
38.What can be inferred about America’ medical system according the publicity campaign?
A.Doctors in America are hugely overworked.
B.It is insecure to fund public hospitals in U.S.
C.One bad illness can ruin someone financially.
D.Seizing the national medical resources is unfair.
39.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The rise of medical tourism in China and its implications.
B.How foreigners compare hospitals in China and Britain.

Christophe Petyt is the world’s leading dealer in fake masterpieces. His company employs over eighty painters, each steeped in the style of a particular artist or school. “We choose them very carefully,” he says. “They’re usually people with very good technique but not much creativity, who are unlikely to make it as artists in their own right. But they love the great works and have real insight into what’s gone into them.”
The view when Petyt started out was that very little of this could be legal. He was pursued through the French courts by museums and by descendants of the artists, with several major French art dealers cheering from the sidelines. “The establishment was suspicious of us,” says Petyt, “but for the wrong reasons, I think. Some people want to keep all the best art for themselves.” He won the case and as the law now stands, the works and signatures of any artist who has been dead for seventy years can be freely copied on condition that the copy cannot be passed off to dealers as the real thing.
Until he started the business ten years ago, Petyt, a former business-school student, barely knew one artist from another. Then one particular painting by Van Gogh caught his eye. At $10 million, it was well beyond his reach so he came up with the idea of getting an art-student friend to paint him a copy. In an old frame it looked absolutely wonderful, and Petyt began to wonder what market there might be for it. He picked up a coffee-table book of well-known paintings, earmarked a random selection of works and got his friend to knock them off. “Within a few months I had about twenty good copies,” he says, “so I organized an exhibition. In two weeks we’d sold the lot, and got commissions for sixty more.” It became clear that a huge market existed for fake masterpieces.
Petyt’s paintings are exhibited in places with luxurious houses in need of equally impressive works of art. Although their owners include rock stars, fashion designers and top businesspeople, they either cannot afford or more likely simply cannot obtain great works of art. Petyt is understandably reluctant to name any of his clients, but says that sometimes even the owner of the original will occasionally commission a copy. “The best paintings are so valuable,” he explains, “that it’s risky to have them at home and the costs of security and insurance are huge. So some collectors keep the original in a bank and hang our copy.”
43.What do we learn about the painters employed by Petyt?
A.They need to be specially trained to produce fake masterpieces.
B.They have been chosen because of their painting techniques.
C.They are able to reproduce paintings of a wide range of styles.
D.They have shown their creativity in their original works.
44.How does Petyt feel about the attempts to prove that his activities were illegal?
A.He suspects that they were not driven by public-spirited motivations.
B.He accepts that they were useful in helping to establish his integrity.
C.He regrets that they gained the support of other art dealers in France.
D.He respects the right of the real artists’families to protect their interests.
45.In the wake of the court case he won, Petyt ________.
A.no longer reproduces fake signatures on paintings he sells
B.has been able to copy the work of more contemporary artists
C.is obliged to make sure his products can be identified as copies
D.has agreed not to market his products through certain channels
46.What is implied about the majority of Petyt’s customers?
A.They regard works of art as a must in their life.
B.They have little real interest in contemporary art.
C.They buy the paintings purely as a form of financial investment.
D.They are wealthy enough to buy the original works of art if they wanted.

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
If you remove and throw away the peel of most fruits and vegetables, you might be cheating yourself out of a rich source of nutrients, fiber, and phytochemicals-bioactive compounds found in plants. In some instances, the peel of some fruits has been shown to have antioxidant (抗氧化剂) levels that are much higher than the inside of the fruit. 47 Some food manufacturers are enriching functional foods, such as breads and biscuits, with fruit and vegetable peels.
48 However, Keith Ayoob, a registered dietitian-nutritionist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in The Bronx, points out, “That’s where the nutrients are hidden.” “Colors have power because they indicate the presence of antioxidants,” which help protect cells from damage caused by pollutants, ultraviolet rays, and other sources of unstable molecules called free radicals (自由基).
Because “the peel is the protective layer on fruits and vegetables, it tends to have concentrated compounds like phytochemicals that serve as defense mechanisms against the sun, rain, and pests,” says Wendy Bazilian, a nutritionist and public health consultant based in San Diego. “ 49 When you peel these fruits and vegetables, you literally peel off some of the nutrition.”
That’s not to say you should eat the skin of every fruit and vegetable. Avoid cantaloupe, avocado, and pineapple skin, and always peel onions and garlic. 50 That’s why it’s important to clean them thoroughly. “Rinse it under clean water and use a vegetable brush or paper towel on the skin,” advises Lisa Young, an adjunct professor of nutrition at NYU. Of course, you should wash organically grown produce, as well, to remove dirt and germs.
A.Those defense approaches guard our health, too.
B.Besides reducing food waste, eating the peels has nutritional benefits.
C.People usually ignore the peels of dark-colored fruits and vegetables.
D.The potential health effects of consuming peels are so promising.
E.Let’s continue to conduct further research on fruit peels.
F.It’s true that edible skins of conventional fruits and vegetables may contain pesticide remains.
III. Summary Writing (10分)
51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Dear Mom, Clear My Calendar
September is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summer’s end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child’s schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child’s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts (武术).
Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment”, three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time?
A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth, however, is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves.
A child’s time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it’s time to come for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle time now.
Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That’s too much for a five-year-old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let’s be honest with ourselves — our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s.

Do women make for better endurance athletes than men?
You only need to think of any marathon you’ve watched to assume that men tend to outperform women in sport.
But an interesting recent review 1 (publish) in the journal Sports Medicine has triggered the discussion. It highlighted that the male-female performance gap in ultra-endurance competitions (events typically more than six hours) is as low as 4 percent, 2 it’s around 10 percent in traditional endurance sport. And the difference seems to reduce the longer the event becomes, to the point that women even outperform men when 3 comes to events like ultra-distance swimming. Just look at the finishing times for the 45.8 km Manhattan Island marathon swim. On average over the past 30 years, the best women 4 (be) 12 to 14 percent faster than the best men.
There are lots of theories as to 5 women might make better ultra-endurance athletes. If we look at the physiology, men tend 6 (have) more type II muscle fibers, which are good for high power output sports such as sprinting (短跑). Women have more type I muscle fibers, which produce less force but are more resistant to exhaustion — ideal for ultra-endurance events.
Another theory is that women are better than men at burning fat for fuel and so they have spare essential carbohydrate (碳水化合物) stores. This would mean they’re 7 (likely) to hit ‘the wall’ in a race. Other studies show that women are more likely to keep a consistent pace, 8 going too hard too soon.
Sports psychologists have also suggested that women are generally better at bearing pain, reframing feelings such as exhaustion and enjoying the process rather than worrying about the outcome, all of 9 might lead to a better performance.
As persuasive as these theories are, it’s difficult to be certain. Ultra-endurance events are niche (小众项目) and the small numbers of women 10 (participate) make it challenging to draw conclusions, and it’s rare to find direct comparisons with men. Hopefully this will change over time.

New Research Links Daily Multivitamins to Slower Biological Aging
Epigenetic (后成的;外遗传的) clocks estimate biological aging based on tiny changes in our DNA.These clocks look at specific sites in our DNA 11 gene expression and change naturally as we get older, helping track with mortality and the pace of aging.
“There is a lot of interest today in 12 ways to not just live longer, but to live better,” said Dr. Howard Sesso, a researcher at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. “It was exciting to see benefits of a multivitamin 13 accessible, safe 14 with markers of biological aging. This study opens the door to learning more about that contribute to healthier, higher-quality aging.”
For their research, Dr. Sesso and his colleagues used data from the well-established Cocoa Supplement Multivitamins Outcomes Study (COSMOS). They analyzed DNA methylation data from blood samples of 98 randomly selected healthy participants with a(n) 15 chronological age of 70.
The participants were 16 to take a daily cocoa extract and multivitamin; daily cocoa extract and placebo; placebo and multivitamin; or placebos only. Samples were analyzed for changes in five epigenetic clocks from the start of the 17 and at the end of the first and second years. Compared to the placebo only group, people in the multivitamin group had slowing in all five epigenetic clocks, including 18 clocks that are predictive of mortality.
The changes equated to about four months less biological aging over the course of two years. Additionally, people who were 19 older than their actual age at the start of the trial benefited the most.
“We plan to do follow-up research to determine if the slowing of biological aging — observed through these five epigenetic clocks, and additional or new ones — persists after the trial ends,” said Dr. Yanbin Dong, a researcher at Augusta University.
“A lot of people take a multivitamin without necessarily knowing any benefits from taking it, so the more we can learn about its potential health benefits, the better,” Dr. Sesso added. “Within COSMOS, we are fortunate and excited to build upon a rich resource of biomarker data to test how two interventions may improve biological aging and reduce age-related 20 outcomes.”
II. Reading Comprehension (45分)
Section A (15分)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Language allows us to describe actions, qualities, and relationships in both real and imagined experiences. A key question in linguistics (语言学) is how languages developed. Recent research suggests that iconicity — the connection between form and meaning — may have played a crucial role in the 21 .
People can’t overcome language barriers and understand each other without iconicity. We often use our hands and bodies, 22 , to act out meanings, showing the sizes and shapes of objects. The key to forming new symbols is the use of iconicity.
Not limited to 23 , iconicity appears in visual communication too. Traffic signs, food packaging, and maps all use iconicity to make information easy to understand, regardless of the 24 .
Iconicity also exists in 25 . To explore this, researchers organized a contest where participants recorded sounds to express different meanings. These sounds could not contain actual words or 26 expressions like “BOOM” for an explosion. Listeners then tried to match the sounds to a set of written options, and the contestant whose sounds were most accurately 27 won the contest.
The results were surprising — listeners successfully identified the intended 28 of the sounds. Yet, all the contestants and listeners were English speakers. Thus, it was possible that listeners’ success relied on 29 cultural knowledge.
To test if this phenomenon existed across 30 , researchers conducted a broader Internet survey, translating the experiment into 25 languages. Participants from different linguistic backgrounds listened to the sounds and 31 their meanings from six written options.
The findings showed 32 accuracy levels across different language groups. English speakers had the highest accuracy rate at 74%, while Portuguese speakers scored 34%. Though far from perfect, these results were much higher than the expected chance rate of 8%.
These studies show that our capacity for iconic communication has played a fundamental role in language 33 . Iconicity enables individuals to express meanings in ways that are not 34 dependent on specific linguistic knowledge. Without this 35 , language may never have developed into the complex system we have today.

He picked up a coffee-table book of well-known paintings, earmarked a random selection of works and got his friend to knock them off. “Within a few months I had about twenty good copies,” he says, “so I organized an exhibition. In two weeks we’d sold the lot, and got commissions for sixty more.” It became clear that a huge market existed for fake masterpieces.
Petyt’s paintings are exhibited in places with luxurious houses in need of equally impressive works of art. Although their owners include rock stars, fashion designers and top businesspeople, they either cannot afford or more likely simply cannot obtain great works of art. Petyt is understandably reluctant to name any of his clients, but says that sometimes even the owner of the original will occasionally commission a copy. “The best paintings are so valuable,” he explains, “that it’s risky to have them at home and the costs of security and insurance are huge. So some collectors keep the original in a bank and hang our copy.”
43.What do we learn about the painters employed by Petyt?
A.They need to be specially trained to produce fake masterpieces.
B.They have been chosen because of their painting techniques.
C.They are able to reproduce paintings of a wide range of styles.
D.They have shown their creativity in their original works.
44.How does Petyt feel about the attempts to prove that his activities were illegal?
A.He suspects that they were not driven by public-spirited motivations.
B.He accepts that they were useful in helping to establish his integrity.
C.He regrets that they gained the support of other art dealers in France.
D.He respects the right of the real artists’families to protect their interests.
45.In the wake of the court case he won, Petyt ________.
A.no longer reproduces fake signatures on paintings he sells
B.has been able to copy the work of more contemporary artists
C.is obliged to make sure his products can be identified as copies
D.has agreed not to market his products through certain channels
46.What is implied about the majority of Petyt’s customers?
A.They regard works of art as a must in their life.
B.They have little real interest in contemporary art.
C.They buy the paintings purely as a form of financial investment.
D.They are wealthy enough to buy the original works of art if they wanted.
Section C (8分)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
If you remove and throw away the peel of most fruits and vegetables, you might be cheating yourself out of a rich source of nutrients, fiber, and phytochemicals-bioactive compounds found in plants. In some instances, the peel of some fruits has been shown to have antioxidant (抗氧化剂) levels that are much higher than the inside of the fruit. 47 Some food manufacturers are enriching functional foods, such as breads and biscuits, with fruit and vegetable peels.
48 However, Keith Ayoob, a registered dietitian-nutritionist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in The Bronx, points out, “That’s where the nutrients are hidden.” “Colors have power because they indicate the presence of antioxidants,” which help protect cells from damage caused by pollutants, ultraviolet rays, and other sources of unstable molecules called free radicals (自由基).
Because “the peel is the protective layer on fruits and vegetables, it tends to have concentrated compounds like phytochemicals that serve as defense mechanisms against the sun, rain, and pests,” says Wendy Bazilian, a nutritionist and public health consultant based in San Diego. “ 49 When you peel these fruits and vegetables, you literally peel off some of the nutrition.”
That’s not to say you should eat the skin of every fruit and vegetable. Avoid cantaloupe, avocado, and pineapple skin, and always peel onions and garlic. 50 That’s why it’s important to clean them thoroughly. “Rinse it under clean water and use a vegetable brush or paper towel on the skin,” advises Lisa Young, an adjunct professor of nutrition at NYU. Of course, you should wash organically grown produce, as well, to remove dirt and germs.
A.Those defense approaches guard our health, too.
B.Besides reducing food waste, eating the peels has nutritional benefits.
C.People usually ignore the peels of dark-colored fruits and vegetables.
D.The potential health effects of consuming peels are so promising.
E.Let’s continue to conduct further research on fruit peels.
F.It’s true that edible skins of conventional fruits and vegetables may contain pesticide remains.

Dear Mom, Clear My Calendar
September is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summer’s end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child’s schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child’s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts (武术).
Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment”, three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time?
A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth, however, is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves.
A child’s time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it’s time to come for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle time now.
Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That’s too much for a five-year-old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let’s be honest with ourselves — our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s.

As the new school term draws near, parents find it really tough to reject various after-school enrichment classes for their young children, which greatly dismays many frontline educators.

V. Guided Writing (25分)
【答案】Dear jack,
I’m more than glad to hear from you. Yes, like you said, I have been longing for the upcoming summer vacation after the College Entrance Examination, during which I can do a lot of amazing things.
This three - month vacation will undoubtedly be my longest holiday ever. Therefore, I’d like to make it as meaningful as possible. Firstly, I’ll take a part-time job to earn some money to cover part of my college tuition. In the meanwhile, I can meet many interesting people and learn about society. Besides, I’m planning to enroll in a driving course and try to get my driver’s license as driving will be an important and necessary skill in modern society. If time permits, I’m going to learn some Musical Instruments, which is something I’ve always wanted to do. I have a strong interest in guitar, so I want to learn how to play guitar, which can enrich my hobby. I practice in my spare time in the evening, so that I can enjoy the peace of the guitar melody.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
