In 1998, British adventurer Karl Bushby looked down a road in Chile and set a goal: walk all the way home to Hull, England — without using a single form of transport, which was audacious. What he didn’t know then was that the journey he thought would take eight years would stretch into a remarkable 27-year trek (跋涉) across continents, oceans and history. Now, after walking 36, 000 miles, surviving the attack of polar bears, swimming across seas, and navigating countless visa setbacks, the 56-year-old adventurer is finally on the home stretch.
Bushby began his adventure in Punta Arenas, Chile, trekking north through South and North America, eventually reaching Alaska. In 2006, he attempted one of the most dangerous legs of the journey: crossing the frozen Bering-Strait into Siberia. Armed with a gun to scare off polar bears and forced to leap between moving blocks of ice, he achieved what few people on Earth have ever done.
His challenges didn’t stop there. Last year, when he couldn’t safely travel through a European country, he took on a new challenge — swimming across the Caspian Sea. With a support team and co-swimmer Angela Maxwell, Bushby spent 31 days completing the 179-mile crossing, swimming a total of 132 hours.
After reaching Azerbaijan, he continued through Turkey, and now stands less than 2,000 miles from home. He hopes to recenter Europe this summer and walk into Hull by September 2026. Returning home after nearly three decades, he admits, will feel unrealistic. He left when he was 29. He will return at 58. He says reuniting with family will mean “getting to know each other again”.
Bushby walks an average of 30km a day and rests wherever he can find shelter. His mission, called the Goliath Expedition, has outlasted five UK prime ministers, a global health incident, and numerous wars — but his spirit remains as strong as it was in 1998. And the world is cheering him on as he enters the final chapter of one of the most extraordinary human endurance journeys ever attempted.
24. What does the underlined word “audacious” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Daring. B. Risky. C. Ambitious. D. Practical.
25. Why did Bushby swim across the Caspian Sea?
A. To set a new world record. B. To avoid the potential risk.
C. To shorten the distance. D. To test his physical limits.
26. What does Bushby mean by saying “getting to know each other again”?
A. It is awkward to see his family. B. It is too long since he left home.
C. He feels regretful for traveling. D. He wants to accompany his family more.
27. What does the Goliath Expedition symbolize?
A. The power of spirit. B. The need for recognition.
C. The meaning of exploration. D. The importance of adaptation.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了英国冒险家卡尔布什比从1998年开始,计划徒步从智利返回英国故乡,历经 27年、跨越3. 6万英里,克服无数艰难险阻,如今即将完成这一非凡壮举的故事。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In 1998, British adventurer Karl Bushby looked down a road in Chile and set a goal: walk all the way home to Hull, England — without using a single form of transport, which was audacious. (1998年, 英国冒险家卡尔布什比望着智利的一条路, 定下了一个目标:不使用任何交通工具,一路步行回到英格兰的赫尔——这可谓audacious) ”以及后文描述他花费27年、行走3. 6万英里可知,这个目标非常大胆、有雄心。A. daring意为“勇敢的、敢于冒险的”,仅强调勇气与胆量,侧重行为上的大胆。而原文突出的是这一目标规模宏大、耗时极长、极具挑战性,强调的是理想与抱负的宏大,不只是“敢不敢做”。故划线词 audacious意为“雄心勃勃的”,与“Ambitious”同义。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Last year, when he couldn’t safely travel through a European country, he took on a new challenge— swimming across the Caspian Sea. (去年, 当他无法安全穿越某个欧洲国家时,他接受了一项新的挑战——游泳横渡里海) ”可知,布什比游泳横渡里海是为了避免穿越某国可能带来的安全风险。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Returning home after nearly three decades, he admits, will feel unrealistic. (他承认,在近三十年后回家,会感觉不真实) ”和“He left when he was 29. He will turn at 58. He says reuniting with family will mean“getting to know each other again”. (他29岁时离开,归来时已58岁。他说与家人重逢意味着“重新认识彼此”) ”可推知,他说“getting to know each other again”的意思是自己离开家的时间太长了,重逢意味着要重新了解彼此。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“His mission, called the Goliath Expedition, has outlasted five UK prime ministers, a global health incident, and numerous wars— but his spirit remains as strong as it was in 1998. (他的使命被称为“歌利亚远征”,它历经了五位英国首相、一次全球卫生事件和无数次战争——但他的精神仍与1998年时一样坚强) ”以及全文描述他克服的种种困难可知,“歌利亚远征”象征着精神的力量。
C
About 15 years ago, a humble idea for a historical fiction series erupted into a worldwide literary phenomenon, now known as the I Survived series. Every novel transports readers into the middle of true, real-life catastrophes. Whether it is a shocking weather event or a widespread plague (瘟疫), each story illustrates how a kid rises to the occasion.
In 2010, Lauren Tarshis released her first book. She never could have imagined that over the next 15 years, the series would become a bestseller, printing over 20 million copies to date. Tarshis has published 25 novels in the series and her newest release came out last October.
Tarshis visited the Blue Willow Bookshop’s Tweens Read Book Festival at Dobie High School in Houston and spoke about her recent novel, in which a boy named Ray fights the dangers of the Dust Bowl in the Panhandle of Texas. “A lot of kids have suggested this topic and asked for a story about the Great Depression. So this is sort of two books in one. My research for the new novel was exciting because I visited places I had never been to. It’s been a great experience,” she said.
The idea for the series originated in her family. Tarshis, a mother of four, noticed her son Dylan was having a hard time finding books he enjoyed. “Dylan said to me, ‘I want to read a book about a cool topic with a main character that’s a kid like me.’ That was really a big inspiration. I saw that when there was a topic featuring a real kid at its heart, those were the stories that kids really liked to read,” she said.
Although each book in the series may be a page-turner, the messages and themes are long-lasting and impactful. “I want kids to learn about the world and places they didn’t know about but now feel connected to. I want them to see that people go through really hard things, and it’s not just about surviving. It’s about healing, finding help, and being patient about recovering from something scary.”
28. What is a key feature of the I Survived series?
A. Each story is set during the 20th century.
B. Each story is about a child in a real disaster.
C. Each story pictures a child’s real school life.
D. Each story presents historical events in detail.
29. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 about Tarshis’s writing?
A. It avoids hardship and emotional depths.
B. It centers on entertainment over education.
C. It’s mainly based on personal experiences.
D. It’s reader-focused with meaningful themes.
30. What does the underlined word “page-turner” mean?
A. A book that is hard to read.
B. A book that tells true stories.
C. A book that keeps readers engaged.
D. A book that changes readers’ habits.
31. What message is mainly conveyed through Tarshis’s novels?
A. History is full of unexpected events.
B. Survival depends on luck and external help.
C. Reading is the best way to understand the past.
D. True courage involves enduring and overcoming hardship.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了《我幸存了》系列历史小说的创作背景、作者Lauren Tarshis以及该系列如何通过以孩子为主角、重现真实灾难事件,来吸引读者并传递关于“生存与治愈”的深层主题。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Every novel transports readers into the middle of true, real-life catastrophes. Whether it is a shocking weather event or a widespread plague, each story illustrates how a kid rises to the occasion. (每一本小说都将读者带入真实的生活灾难之中。无论是令人震惊的天气事件还是大范围的瘟疫,每个故事都展示了一个孩子是如何奋起应对的。)” 可知,该系列的核心特征是每个故事都关于处于真实灾难中的孩子,故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第三段““A lot of kids have suggested this topic and asked for a story about the Great Depression. So this is sort of two books in one. My research for the new novel was exciting because I visited places I had never been to. It’s been a great experience,” she said.(她说:“很多孩子都提议过这个主题,还希望我写一个关于大萧条的故事。所以这本书有点像两本书合二为一。我为这部新小说做的研究很令人兴奋,因为我去了很多从未去过的地方。这是一段很棒的经历。”)”以及第四段“I saw that when there was a topic featuring a real kid at its heart, those were the stories that kids really liked to read (我发现,当一个故事的核心是关于一个真实的孩子时,那些是孩子们真的喜欢读的故事)” 可知,Tarshis的创作以读者需求为中心,且主题具有深刻意义,故选D。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文第五段“Although each book in the series may be a page-turner, the messages and themes are long-lasting and impactful. (虽然该系列的每本书都可能是一本page-turner,但它们传达的信息和主题却持久而有影响力。)”可知,前后构成转折让步关系,说明这本书不只是“好看过瘾”而已,它还有更深刻、更长久的价值。 可知,“page-turner”指的是能让读者爱不释手、保持阅读兴趣的书,即让读者投入的书,故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第五段““I want kids to learn about the world and places they didn’t know about but now feel connected to. I want them to see that people go through really hard things, and it’s not just about surviving. It’s about healing, finding help, and being patient about recovering from something scary.” (“我希望孩子们去了解这个世界,了解那些他们从前并不知晓、如今却感到心生联结的地方。我希望他们明白,人们会经历非常艰难的时刻,而这不仅仅是活下去那么简单。更重要的是疗愈、寻求帮助,以及耐心地从可怕的经历中慢慢恢复。”)” 可知,Tarshis的小说主要传达的信息是真正的勇气在于承受并战胜苦难。故选D。
D
Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced the risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks is have remained a mystery. In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system.
A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years.
But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.
“When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope.” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.”
Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to aging and disease.
“These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr. John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.”
So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand.
32. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To explore the history of caffeine consumption.
B. To identify how caffeine influences cell aging.
C. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells.
D. To find new use of caffeine in cell reproduction.
33. What does TOR serve as?
A. A sign of aging. B. An energy source.
C. A growth command center. D. A cellular fuel gauge.
34. What does John-Patrick suggest about the research?
A. Possible direction for further research. B. Benefits of present applications.
C. Characteristics of the research. D. Choice of new research methods.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long.
B. Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch.
C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Aging’s Hidden Pathways.
D. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.(它们为未来的研究开辟了令人兴奋的可能性,即我们如何通过饮食、生活方式或新药物更直接地改变这些影响)”可知,John-Patrick的话指出了这项研究带来的潜在未来研究方向,即通过饮食、生活方式或新药物来更直接地改变咖啡因对细胞的影响。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(在一项针对裂殖酵母的新研究中,研究人员发现,咖啡因通过利用一种古老的细胞能量系统来影响衰老,裂殖酵母是一种与人类细胞惊人相似的单细胞生物)”可知,文章介绍了一项科学研究,揭示了咖啡因通过激活细胞内的AMPK能量监测系统,进而影响细胞生长、DNA修复和应激反应,这些都与延缓衰老和促进长寿有关。同时,文章结尾“So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand.(所以,下次你去拿咖啡的时候,你所做的可能不仅仅是提高你的注意力——你还可以帮助你的细胞)”将这一发现与日常饮用咖啡联系起来。B项“Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch.(你的晨间咖啡可能触发一个长寿开关)”既形象地体现了核心机制(激活AMPK),又关联了咖啡这一日常饮品,准确且吸引人,适合作为标题。故选B项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在家经营公司的好处和需要注意的事项。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Do you like the idea of running your own business from home? Most of you do, and the first things you say you like about it are being your own boss, having flexible hours and working in your pajamas.(你喜欢在家经营自己的公司吗?大多数人都是这样的,而且你喜欢的第一件事就是做自己的老板,有灵活的工作时间,穿着睡衣工作)”结合后文提到了一些在家工作的实际情况,可知本句与上文构成转折,说明虽然在家工作有好处,但是现实情况可能有点不同。故G选项“虽然这些好处听起来不错,但在家工作的现实情况可能有点不同”符合语境,故选G。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Being your own boss is definitely one big advantage.(做自己的老板绝对是一个很大的优势)”以及后文“You must commit to work on your business regularly to make profits. If not, you will find that your income becomes non-existent. So, have set office hours where you productively work on building your business.(你必须致力于你的业务定期赚取利润。如果没有,你会发现你的收入变得不存在。所以,要设定办公时间,让你高效地建立自己的企业)”可知,上文提到做自己的老板是一个很大的优势,后文则提到了必须致力于定期赚取利润,可推测本句与上文构成转折,是在说明自己做老板的缺点。故A选项“但它也可能毫无顾忌地让你堕落”符合语境,故选A。
【38题详解】
根据后文“Doctors’ appointments and family commitments can simply be worked into your schedule. Again, you need to arrange your appointments carefully and try to book them together. This way you can get all of your running around done in one day.(与医生的预约和家庭事务可以简单地列入你的日程。同样,你需要仔细安排你的预约,尽量一起预约。这样你就可以在一天之内完成所有的工作)”可知,后文提到与医生的预约和家务事可以得到合理安排,然后在一天之内完成,可知本段主要是在介绍在家工作的另一个好处是时间灵活。故B选项“灵活的工作时间是在家工作的另一大好处”符合语境,故选B。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Working in your pajamas may seem appealing initially. But it can also prevent you from actually getting your work done.(乍一看,穿着睡衣工作似乎很吸引人。但它也会阻碍你真正完成工作)”以及后文“After that, just walk into your office and start your day’s work.(之后,只需走进办公室,开始一天的工作)”可知,上文提到在家工作会阻碍真正完成工作,且后文提到了走近办公室,可知本句是在描述日常外出上班的过程。故D选项“你可能会发现起床、锻炼、然后洗澡、穿衣服上班更有效率”符合语境,故选D。
【40题详解】
根据上文“In order to run a successful business from home you need to have a good mindset.(为了在家经营成功的企业,你需要有一个良好的心态)”以及后文“Taking off too many hours each week will damage your financial stability and long-term success. Set goals and limits on your time. Build your business first, before taking advantage of what working from home offers.(每周休息太多的时间会损害你的经济稳定和长期成功。设定目标和时间限制。在利用在家工作的好处之前,先建立自己的事业)”可知,上文提到在家经营企业需要良好的心态,可知本句应承接上文举例说明有哪些良好的心态需要建立。故E选项“这包括意识到你,而且只有你自己对自己的收入负责”符合语境,故选E。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a cold winter afternoon. The wind howled outside, hitting the windowpanes with a sharp sound. Lily, a senior high school student, stared at the math problem in front of her, feeling frustrated. She had been struggling with it for an hour, but her mind was blank. Her mom had gone to the supermarket to buy some groceries, leaving her alone at home.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door. Lily frowned, wondering who it could be on such a cold day. She walked to the door cautiously and looked through the peephole (窥视孔). It was an old lady with white hair, wearing a thin coat and holding a basket in her hand. The lady’s hands were red from the cold, and she looked tired and helpless.
“Excuse me, dear,” the old lady said weakly when Lily opened the door a little. “I’m your neighbor, Mrs. Henderson. I live next door. My cat Mimi ran out of the house this morning, and I’ve been looking for her everywhere. I’m so cold and thirsty… Could I come in for a cup of hot water?”
Lily hesitated for a moment. Her mom always told her not to let strangers in, but Mrs. Henderson looked so pitiful. She remembered seeing the old lady walking her cat in the neighborhood a few times before. Finally, she opened the door and let Mrs. Henderson in. She fetched a cup of hot water and handed it to the old lady, who thanked her repeatedly.
As Mrs. Henderson drank the hot water, she kept talking about her cat Mimi — a small, fluffy (毛茸茸的) white cat with a pink nose. “She’s my only companion (伙伴),” the old lady said with tears in her eyes. “I don’t know what I would do if I lost her.” Lily felt a pang of sympathy (同情). She decided to help Mrs. Henderson look for Mimi after finishing her homework.
Just as Lily was about to start her homework again, she heard a faint meow (猫叫) from the balcony (阳台). She rushed to the balcony, and Mrs. Henderson followed her closely…

【答案】Paragraph 1:
There, on the cold balcony railing, sat a small white cat, shivering with cold. It was exactly Mimi! Mrs. Henderson let out a cry of joy and reached out her hands gently to hold the cat. Mimi rubbed against her palm affectionately, as if she was also glad to see her owner. Lily quickly fetched a warm towel and wrapped it around Mimi, who stopped shivering soon. Mrs. Henderson thanked Lily again and again, her eyes filled with gratitude. She said that Mimi must have climbed over the wall to Lily’s balcony to seek warmth.
Paragraph 2:
When Lily’s mom came back home, she was surprised to see Mrs. Henderson and Mimi in the house. Lily explained what had happened, and her mom smiled and praised her for being kind and helpful. She invited Mrs. Henderson to stay for dinner, but Mrs. Henderson politely refused, saying she wanted to take Mimi home to warm up. Before leaving, Mrs. Henderson gave Lily a small box of homemade cookies as a gift. From then on, Lily and Mrs. Henderson became good friends, and Mimi often came to visit Lily’s house.

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

In 1998, British adventurer Karl Bushby looked down a road in Chile and set a goal: walk all the way home to Hull, England — without using a single form of transport, which was audacious. What he didn’t know then was that the journey he thought would take eight years would stretch into a remarkable 27-year trek (跋涉) across continents, oceans and history. Now, after walking 36, 000 miles, surviving the attack of polar bears, swimming across seas, and navigating countless visa setbacks, the 56-year-old adventurer is finally on the home stretch.
Bushby began his adventure in Punta Arenas, Chile, trekking north through South and North America, eventually reaching Alaska. In 2006, he attempted one of the most dangerous legs of the journey: crossing the frozen Bering-Strait into Siberia. Armed with a gun to scare off polar bears and forced to leap between moving blocks of ice, he achieved what few people on Earth have ever done.
His challenges didn’t stop there. Last year, when he couldn’t safely travel through a European country, he took on a new challenge — swimming across the Caspian Sea. With a support team and co-swimmer Angela Maxwell, Bushby spent 31 days completing the 179-mile crossing, swimming a total of 132 hours.
After reaching Azerbaijan, he continued through Turkey, and now stands less than 2,000 miles from home. He hopes to recenter Europe this summer and walk into Hull by September 2026. Returning home after nearly three decades, he admits, will feel unrealistic. He left when he was 29. He will return at 58. He says reuniting with family will mean “getting to know each other again”.
Bushby walks an average of 30km a day and rests wherever he can find shelter. His mission, called the Goliath Expedition, has outlasted five UK prime ministers, a global health incident, and numerous wars — but his spirit remains as strong as it was in 1998. And the world is cheering him on as he enters the final chapter of one of the most extraordinary human endurance journeys ever attempted.
24. What does the underlined word “audacious” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Daring. B. Risky. C. Ambitious. D. Practical.
25. Why did Bushby swim across the Caspian Sea?
A. To set a new world record. B. To avoid the potential risk.
C. To shorten the distance. D. To test his physical limits.
26. What does Bushby mean by saying “getting to know each other again”?
A. It is awkward to see his family. B. It is too long since he left home.
C. He feels regretful for traveling. D. He wants to accompany his family more.
27. What does the Goliath Expedition symbolize?
A. The power of spirit. B. The need for recognition.
C. The meaning of exploration. D. The importance of adaptation.
C
About 15 years ago, a humble idea for a historical fiction series erupted into a worldwide literary phenomenon, now known as the I Survived series. Every novel transports readers into the middle of true, real-life catastrophes. Whether it is a shocking weather event or a widespread plague (瘟疫), each story illustrates how a kid rises to the occasion.
In 2010, Lauren Tarshis released her first book. She never could have imagined that over the next 15 years, the series would become a bestseller, printing over 20 million copies to date. Tarshis has published 25 novels in the series and her newest release came out last October.
Tarshis visited the Blue Willow Bookshop’s Tweens Read Book Festival at Dobie High School in Houston and spoke about her recent novel, in which a boy named Ray fights the dangers of the Dust Bowl in the Panhandle of Texas. “A lot of kids have suggested this topic and asked for a story about the Great Depression. So this is sort of two books in one. My research for the new novel was exciting because I visited places I had never been to. It’s been a great experience,” she said.
The idea for the series originated in her family. Tarshis, a mother of four, noticed her son Dylan was having a hard time finding books he enjoyed. “Dylan said to me, ‘I want to read a book about a cool topic with a main character that’s a kid like me.’ That was really a big inspiration. I saw that when there was a topic featuring a real kid at its heart, those were the stories that kids really liked to read,” she said.
Although each book in the series may be a page-turner, the messages and themes are long-lasting and impactful. “I want kids to learn about the world and places they didn’t know about but now feel connected to. I want them to see that people go through really hard things, and it’s not just about surviving. It’s about healing, finding help, and being patient about recovering from something scary.”
28. What is a key feature of the I Survived series?
A. Each story is set during the 20th century.
B. Each story is about a child in a real disaster.
C. Each story pictures a child’s real school life.
D. Each story presents historical events in detail.
29. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 about Tarshis’s writing?
A. It avoids hardship and emotional depths.
B. It centers on entertainment over education.
C. It’s mainly based on personal experiences.
D. It’s reader-focused with meaningful themes.
30. What does the underlined word “page-turner” mean?
A. A book that is hard to read.
B. A book that tells true stories.
C. A book that keeps readers engaged.
D. A book that changes readers’ habits.
31. What message is mainly conveyed through Tarshis’s novels?
A. History is full of unexpected events.
B. Survival depends on luck and external help.
C. Reading is the best way to understand the past.
D. True courage involves enduring and overcoming hardship.
D
Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced the risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks is have remained a mystery. In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system.
A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years.
But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.
“When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope.” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.”
Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to aging and disease.
“These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr. John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.”
So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand.
32. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To explore the history of caffeine consumption.
B. To identify how caffeine influences cell aging.
C. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells.
D. To find new use of caffeine in cell reproduction.
33. What does TOR serve as?
A. A sign of aging. B. An energy source.
C. A growth command center. D. A cellular fuel gauge.
34. What does John-Patrick suggest about the research?
A. Possible direction for further research. B. Benefits of present applications.
C. Characteristics of the research. D. Choice of new research methods.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long.
B. Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch.
C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Aging’s Hidden Pathways.
D. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells.

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a cold winter afternoon. The wind howled outside, hitting the windowpanes with a sharp sound. Lily, a senior high school student, stared at the math problem in front of her, feeling frustrated. She had been struggling with it for an hour, but her mind was blank. Her mom had gone to the supermarket to buy some groceries, leaving her alone at home.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door. Lily frowned, wondering who it could be on such a cold day. She walked to the door cautiously and looked through the peephole (窥视孔). It was an old lady with white hair, wearing a thin coat and holding a basket in her hand. The lady’s hands were red from the cold, and she looked tired and helpless.
“Excuse me, dear,” the old lady said weakly when Lily opened the door a little. “I’m your neighbor, Mrs. Henderson. I live next door. My cat Mimi ran out of the house this morning, and I’ve been looking for her everywhere. I’m so cold and thirsty… Could I come in for a cup of hot water?”
Lily hesitated for a moment. Her mom always told her not to let strangers in, but Mrs. Henderson looked so pitiful. She remembered seeing the old lady walking her cat in the neighborhood a few times before. Finally, she opened the door and let Mrs. Henderson in. She fetched a cup of hot water and handed it to the old lady, who thanked her repeatedly.
As Mrs. Henderson drank the hot water, she kept talking about her cat Mimi — a small, fluffy (毛茸茸的) white cat with a pink nose. “She’s my only companion (伙伴),” the old lady said with tears in her eyes. “I don’t know what I would do if I lost her.” Lily felt a pang of sympathy (同情). She decided to help Mrs. Henderson look for Mimi after finishing her homework.
Just as Lily was about to start her homework again, she heard a faint meow (猫叫) from the balcony (阳台). She rushed to the balcony, and Mrs. Henderson followed her closely…
