第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Florida’s barrier reef has suffered a severe outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease over the past decade, largely due to the warming climate and acidifying waters from burning fossil fuels. Losing the reefs would be costly, for they are estimated to draw in over $1 billion in tourism income annually, provide $650 million in flood protection, and support over 70,000 jobs while protecting people and property by reducing up to 97% of wave energy and lessening storm waves.
A new study in Nature Climate Change concludes that including ocean impacts nearly doubles the estimated social cost of carbon, estimating the total price of climate-change-related damage to the world’s oceans. The lead author Bernie Bastien-Olvera notes such impacts are a key missing part in carbon cost assessments. Human fossil fuel burning warms and acidifies oceans, preventing shell formation for marine species. Since 1998, four global mass coral bleaching (白化) events have occurred, threatening the roughly one-quarter of marine life that depends on reefs.
Island nations are disproportionately affected. For example, 14 Pacific island nations supply a third of global tuna catches, relying on the industry for both income and nutrition. However, warming waters are driving tuna away, with catches projected to drop 20% by 2050, and some communities already face food security issues from declining reef fish.
The new study finds seafood loss poses serious public health risk by reducing omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients, accounting for roughly half the new ocean-related carbon cost. Bastien-Olvera emphasizes that more accurate estimates of the social cost of carbon can help governments, including local U.S. authorities, make stricter climate regulations, which is crucial for the future of island nations and vulnerable (脆弱的) coastlines like Florida’s.
1. What are the main costly consequences if Florida’s coral reefs are lost?
A. Insufficient fishing resources. B. Limited research opportunities.
C. Loss of income and coastal defense. D. Decline in tourism and biodiversity.
2. What do the two charts mainly show about the ocean?
A. Recent improvements in ocean health. B. Stable conditions over the past century.
C. Seasonal cycles of surface sea water PH. D. A clear warming and acidification trend.
3. What does Bastien suggest about the social cost of carbon?
A. Its current estimate is high enough for policy-making.
B. Its calculation is too complex to be practically useful.
C. Its precise assessment is key to stronger climate action.
D. Its focus should be put on land-based economic impacts.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述气候变化致海洋受损使碳社会成本几乎翻倍。

A touching story of a wife using a rope meant to tie hair as a way to lead her husband while running for over 30 years has been circulating online and drew significant attention.
“She runs for me. My wife is really good,” said Lou Dexin, a 72-year-old blind man from Jinhua, East China’s Zhejiang province. His wife Lou Shunguang is 68 years old. Lou Dexin was not born blind. In his childhood, he injured one eye in an accident and the other eye had only weak vision, but he has always maintained an optimistic and cheerful attitude towards life.
At the age of 43, he had retinal (视网膜) detachment due to the overuse of his eyes and needed surgery. Before the surgery, he had to rest in bed and avoid heavy exercise. However, ten days before the surgery, two children in the village were drowning. When they cried for help, Lou Dexin, who was lying on the bed, swiftly got up to save them. After a while of artificial respiration (人工呼吸), the two children were rescued. Because of the force on his face, his retinas became weaker. Eventually, he was completely blind.
Lou Dexin suffered from depression due to blindness. In order to cheer him up, Lou Shunguang would tie a rope around him and lead him on a run. Holding a rope, the two of them have been running like this for 30 years. The rope hangs on their hands and keeps the two moving at the same pace as much as possible. Finally, after falling down and getting up countless times, the two gradually can cooperate well. However, nobody knows how much effort was spent to get to this point. Lou Dexin and Lou Shunguang cannot remember how many times they have fallen and how many pairs of shoes have been worn.
The rope, a symbol of their love, has brought Lou Dexin out of severe depression. After the story went viral online, many netizens were moved and called it “the most beautiful long-distance love run”.
4. What directly caused Lou Dexin’s blindness?
A. The failure of the surgery. B. The overuse of his eyes.
C. The injury in an accident. D. The eye pressure in rescue efforts.
5. What can we learn about Lou Shunguang?
A. She enjoys running to keep fit. B. She is older than her husband.
C. She treats her husband considerately. D. She suffers from weak vision.
6. Which of the following best describes the “rope” running of the couple?
A. Dangerous. B. Touching. C. Effortless. D. Shocking.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. Hard work pays off. B. Love breaks down barriers.
C. Well begun is half done. D. All for one, one for all.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B
【解析】

After a while of artificial respiration (人工呼吸), the two children were rescued. Because of the force on his face, his retinas became weaker. Eventually, he was completely blind.(可就在手术前十天,村里两名孩童溺水呼救,卧床的楼德新立刻起身前去施救。经过一番人工呼吸,两个孩子成功获救。施救时面部用力过猛,致使他的视网膜状况进一步恶化,最终彻底失明。)”可知,是他在救人时脸上受到的压力导致视网膜恶化而失明。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Lou Dexin suffered from depression due to blindness. In order to cheer him up, Lou Shunguang would tie a rope around him and lead him on a run.(失明后的楼德新一度陷入抑郁。为帮他走出阴霾,妻子楼顺光便用绳子牵着他出门跑步。)”可知,妻子为了让失明的丈夫走出抑郁,用绳子带他跑步,体现了她对丈夫的体贴与关爱。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After the story went viral online, many netizens were moved and called it “the most beautiful long-distance love run”.(故事走红网络后,无数网友深受触动,将这场相伴长跑称作“最美的爱情长跑”。)”以及全文所述妻子用绳子带盲夫坚持跑步三十年的故事可知,这段“绳子跑步”是令人感动的。
【7题详解】

Mushrooms have been used by ancient humans for thousands of years, but archaeologists have only just uncovered their significant role in shaping civilisation.
Seventy-five years ago, in a wetland in Yorkshire, UK, archaeologists found the perfectly preserved remains of dozens of 11, 000-year-old mushrooms. Carefully cut and intentionally burned, it is thought that they were used by hunter-gatherers as tinder on their travels, enabling them to stay warm and cook food while on the move.
The discovery was so unlikely because fungi (菌类) are composed mostly of water, meaning they rapidly rot and disappear, and so are almost totally absent from the fossil (化石) record. As such, the unexpected ways that mushrooms helped our ancient ancestors survive have long remained secret, seemingly lost to time. But in the past few years, new tools have finally allowed us to identify fungal DNA and micro-residues in the mouths, utensils and clothing of prehistoric humans.
Until a decade ago, prehistoric diets were thought to consist only of meat and plants, excluding mushrooms. Yet rooted views about ancient daily choices are quietly shifting. In 2017, Weyrich’s team analysed the DNA in Palaeolithic dental plaque. They revealed that a group of Neanderthals in what is now Belgium supplemented their meaty meals with grey shag mushrooms, while those from a cave in northern Spain dined on split gill mushrooms. One member of the Spanish group, who lived around 48,000 years ago, even chewed on grasses with penicillin fungi, and may have deliberately sought out this antibiotic fungus to reduce dental pain.
These breakthroughs are highlighting how a hidden fungal kingdom fed, healed and warmed our Stone Age ancestors, with recent discoveries even illustrating how fungi helped hold early farming communities together, paving the way for the civilisation we live in today. “By revealing the invisible evidence in the archaeological record, we now see how fungal connections helped the earliest Neolithic communities to develop an understanding of their land and their society,” says Li Liu at Stanford University in California.
8. What does the underlined word “tinder” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. A water-heater. B. A fire starter.
C. An ancient cooker. D. An easy-to-use cutter.
9. Why was fungi’s role in civilisation unknown?
A. They formed special fossils. B. They grow only in wetlands.
C. They are hard to preserve long. D. They were burned out intentionally.
10. Why is one member of the Spanish group mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To illustrate the updated view. B. To make a scientific prediction.
C. To confirm the previous thought. D. To introduce a new research method.
11. What may Li Liu most likely agree with?
A. Mushrooms built the modern civilization.
B. Fungi glued early farming groups together.
C. Old methods were widely used in archaeology.
D. Ancient people had a deep understanding of fungi.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了考古新发现揭示蘑菇在塑造古代文明中的重要作用。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“it is thought that they were used by hunter-gatherers as tinder on their travels, enabling them to stay warm and cook food while on the move(据认为,它们被狩猎采集者在旅途中用作tinder,使他们在移动时能够保暖和做饭)”可知,tinder是用来生火取暖和做饭的,即引火物。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The discovery was so unlikely because fungi (菌类) are composed mostly of water, meaning they rapidly rot and disappear, and so are almost totally absent from the fossil (化石) record.(这一发现之所以极不可能,是因为菌类主要由水组成,这意味着它们会迅速腐烂消失,因此几乎完全不存在于化石记录中)”可知,真菌难以长期保存,所以它们在文明中的作用长期不为人知。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Until a decade ago, prehistoric diets were thought to consist only of meat and plants, excluding mushrooms. Yet rooted views about ancient daily choices are quietly shifting.(十年前,人们还认为史前人类的饮食只有肉类和植物,并不包含蘑菇。如今这类关于古人日常饮食的固有观念正悄然发生转变)”和“One member of the Spanish group, who lived around 48,000 years ago, even chewed on grasses with penicillin fungi, and may have deliberately sought out this antibiotic fungus to reduce dental pain.(其中一名生活在约4.8万年前的西班牙古人类,甚至啃食过带有青霉素菌类的草本植物,他或许是特意寻找这种具备抗菌作用的菌类来缓解牙痛)”可知,此处是用具体例子来说明史前人类的饮食不仅包括肉和植物,还包括蘑菇,这是为了说明更新后的观点。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“recent discoveries even illustrating how fungi helped hold early farming communities together, paving the way for the civilisation we live in today. “By revealing the invisible evidence in the archaeological record, we now see how fungal connections helped the earliest Neolithic communities to develop an understanding of their land and their society,” says Li Liu at Stanford University in California.(近期发现还证实,菌类助力早期农耕社群凝聚发展,为如今人类文明的形成奠定了基础。加州斯坦福大学的刘丽表示:“通过发掘考古资料中这些不易察觉的证据,我们如今得以知晓,菌类的关联帮助新石器时代早期族群逐步认识土地和社会。”)”可知,刘丽最可能同意真菌将早期农业群体凝聚在一起。
D
Most of the time when we talk about muscle memory, we’re not talking about the muscles themselves but about the memory of a coordinated (协调的) movement pattern that lives in the motor neurons, which control our muscles. Yet in recent years, scientists have discovered that our muscles themselves have a memory for movement and exercise. The more we move, as with riding a bike, the more muscle cells begin to make a memory of that exercise.
As the muscle scientist Adam Sharples explained, skeletal muscle cells are unique in the human body: They’re long and skinny, like fibers, and have multiple nuclei. The fibers grow larger not by dividing but by recruiting (招募) muscle satellite cells — stem cells specific to muscle that are inactive until activated in response to stress or injury — to contribute their own nuclei and support muscle growth and regeneration. Those nuclei often stick around for a while in the muscle fibers, even after periods of inactivity, they may help speed up the return to growth once you start training again.
Sharples’s research focuses on what’s called epigenetic muscle memory. “Epigenetic” refers to changes in gene expression that are caused by behavior and environment — the genes themselves don’t change, but the way they work does. In general, exercise switches on genes that help make muscles grow more easily. When you lift weights, for example, small molecules called methyl (甲基) groups leave from the outside of certain genes, making them more likely to turn on and produce proteins that affect muscle growth. Those changes persist; if you start lifting weights again, you’ll add muscle mass more quickly than before. In other words: Your muscles remember how to do it.
Subsequent studies from Sharples and others have reproduced similar findings in mice and older humans, offering further supporting evidence of epigenetic muscle memory across species and into later life. Even aging muscles have the capacity to remember when you work out. The takeaway? Your muscles have their own kind of intelligence. The more you use them, the more they can use it to become a lasting beneficial resource for your body in the future.
12. What is the common idea about muscle memory?
A. It is stored in the nervous system. B. It relies on muscular coordination.
C. It has different types and patterns. D. It benefits a lot from exercise.
13. Why are skeletal muscle cells unique?
A. They can divide into small cells. B. They control all body movements.
C. They can store long-term memories. D. They have a special way of growing.
14. What can we learn about “epigenetic muscle memory”?
A. It is caused by gene expression inside DNA.
B. It stops functioning right after exercise ends.
C. It makes muscle regain growth more efficiently.
D. It depends on methyl groups to produce protein.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What Happens to Muscles? B. How do Muscles Remember?
C. Muscle Cells: An All-Rounder D. Muscle Memory: An Open Secret
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了肌肉本身拥有记忆运动的能力即表观遗传肌肉记忆。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Most of the time when we talk about muscle memory, we’re not talking about the muscles themselves but about the memory of a coordinated (协调的) movement pattern that lives in the motor neurons, which control our muscles.(大多数时候当我们谈论肌肉记忆时,我们不是在谈论肌肉本身,而是在谈论存在于控制我们肌肉的运动神经元中的协调运动模式的记忆)”可知,人们通常认为肌肉记忆储存在神经系统中。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“As the muscle scientist Adam Sharples explained, skeletal muscle cells are unique in the human body: They’re long and skinny, like fibers, and have multiple nuclei. The fibers grow larger not by dividing but by recruiting (招募) muscle satellite cells(正如肌肉领域科学家亚当・沙普尔斯所解释的,骨骼肌细胞在人体中十分独特:它们细长呈纤维状,并且拥有多个细胞核。肌纤维并非依靠细胞分裂来增粗,而是通过募集肌肉卫星细胞实现生长)”可知,骨骼肌细胞的独特之处在于它们有一种特殊的生长方式。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sharples’s research focuses on what’s called epigenetic muscle memory.(夏普尔斯的研究聚焦于表观遗传肌肉记忆。)”和“Those changes persist; if you start lifting weights again, you'll add muscle mass more quickly than before. In other words: Your muscles remember how to do it.(这些变化会持续存在;如果你再次开始举重,你会比以前更快地增加肌肉质量。换句话说:你的肌肉记得怎么做。)”可知,表观遗传肌肉记忆能让肌肉更高效地恢复生长。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Yet in recent years, scientists have discovered that our muscles themselves have a memory for movement and exercise. The more we move, as with riding a bike, the more muscle cells begin to make a memory of that exercise.(然而近年来,科学家发现我们的肌肉本身对动作和运动具有记忆能力。就像骑自行车一样,我们运动得越多,肌肉细胞就越容易形成相应的运动记忆)”全文内容,文章从人们对肌肉记忆的传统认知出发,重点介绍了肌肉本身的表观遗传记忆机制,解释了肌肉是如何“记住”运动的。由此可知,“How do Muscles Remember?(肌肉是如何记忆的?)”最适合作为标题。

Old Stuff, New Life
Our school has recently witnessed a meaningful activity called “Old Stuff, New Life”, an event dedicated to recycling and reusing.
During the activity, students enthusiastically contributed unused belongings. We also set up collection points in the hallways, with student volunteers actively helping sort the donations. While a significant portion was channeled to local charities, the true highlight was our creative DIY workshops, where we transformed seemingly worthless items into practical and artistic treasures.
Both students and teachers praised it not only for its environmental impact but also for fostering a tangible sense of community and creativity. It’s truly rewarding to see how small and collective actions can breathe new life into the old.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Saying No with Passion
I have always believed in giving back. As a single mom for most of my adult life, I couldn’t help by giving money; instead, I volunteered for every good cause that came my way. When my son started school, I became a room mother, a classroom volunteer, a Cub Scout leader, and a teacher at Sunday school. I enjoyed some of these activities, but not all. Then my two daughters were born, and my volunteer work tripled.
As a lawyer, I got many requests to join boards and take part in charitable activities. Different committees kept asking for my help. How could I say no to a good cause? I ended up doing too much and feeling upset because my volunteer work took time away from me and my kids. But I still kept agreeing to everyone who asked, since so many people needed help.
One day at lunch, I told a good friend about my dilemma. “You need to learn to say NO,” she said. “It’s not about which cause is more important — they’re all important. It’s about finding your passion. Find the one thing that means the most to you personally, then volunteer in that area. You’ll find you enjoy it far more and resent (憎恨) it less, making you a much better volunteer.”
Her words made sense, but I didn’t know what my passion was. I loved my kids, so I only volunteered for their activities, using them as an excuse to turn down others.
This worked well until my youngest child went to college. All the people I’d turned down before came back to ask for help. Even with more free time, I felt stressed again. I took a class to find my passion and thought a lot about it. Then I realized: I loved all ages of my kids, but I especially loved their high school years. They were old enough to take care of themselves but young enough to accept new ideas.

This passion for high school kids changed me a lot.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
So I started looking for ways to help high school kids. I contacted the school board and was offered a chance to be a guide for teenagers in trouble. At first, I was nervous, not sure if I could get on well with these young people. But as I spent time with them, listening to their struggles and dreams, I felt a sense of joy I had never experienced before. I tailored my volunteer work to their needs, helping them with their lessons and organizing small activities, and soon, I found myself looking forward to each meeting.
This passion for high school kids changed me a lot. I no longer felt overwhelmed by volunteer requests, as I could politely decline without guilt. The hours I spent with those teens were not just work; they were a precious gift. They taught me to stay curious about the world and keep energetic every day. I also built lifelong bonds with many of them, sharing joys and difficulties together. Most importantly, I learned that true giving lies in following your heart, not just fulfilling your duties mechanically.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Florida’s barrier reef has suffered a severe outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease over the past decade, largely due to the warming climate and acidifying waters from burning fossil fuels. Losing the reefs would be costly, for they are estimated to draw in over $1 billion in tourism income annually, provide $650 million in flood protection, and support over 70,000 jobs while protecting people and property by reducing up to 97% of wave energy and lessening storm waves.
A new study in Nature Climate Change concludes that including ocean impacts nearly doubles the estimated social cost of carbon, estimating the total price of climate-change-related damage to the world’s oceans. The lead author Bernie Bastien-Olvera notes such impacts are a key missing part in carbon cost assessments. Human fossil fuel burning warms and acidifies oceans, preventing shell formation for marine species. Since 1998, four global mass coral bleaching (白化) events have occurred, threatening the roughly one-quarter of marine life that depends on reefs.
Island nations are disproportionately affected. For example, 14 Pacific island nations supply a third of global tuna catches, relying on the industry for both income and nutrition. However, warming waters are driving tuna away, with catches projected to drop 20% by 2050, and some communities already face food security issues from declining reef fish.
The new study finds seafood loss poses serious public health risk by reducing omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients, accounting for roughly half the new ocean-related carbon cost. Bastien-Olvera emphasizes that more accurate estimates of the social cost of carbon can help governments, including local U.S. authorities, make stricter climate regulations, which is crucial for the future of island nations and vulnerable (脆弱的) coastlines like Florida’s.
1. What are the main costly consequences if Florida’s coral reefs are lost?
A. Insufficient fishing resources. B. Limited research opportunities.
C. Loss of income and coastal defense. D. Decline in tourism and biodiversity.
2. What do the two charts mainly show about the ocean?
A. Recent improvements in ocean health. B. Stable conditions over the past century.
C. Seasonal cycles of surface sea water PH. D. A clear warming and acidification trend.
3. What does Bastien suggest about the social cost of carbon?
A. Its current estimate is high enough for policy-making.
B. Its calculation is too complex to be practically useful.
C. Its precise assessment is key to stronger climate action.
D. Its focus should be put on land-based economic impacts.
B
A touching story of a wife using a rope meant to tie hair as a way to lead her husband while running for over 30 years has been circulating online and drew significant attention.
“She runs for me. My wife is really good,” said Lou Dexin, a 72-year-old blind man from Jinhua, East China’s Zhejiang province. His wife Lou Shunguang is 68 years old. Lou Dexin was not born blind. In his childhood, he injured one eye in an accident and the other eye had only weak vision, but he has always maintained an optimistic and cheerful attitude towards life.
At the age of 43, he had retinal (视网膜) detachment due to the overuse of his eyes and needed surgery. Before the surgery, he had to rest in bed and avoid heavy exercise. However, ten days before the surgery, two children in the village were drowning. When they cried for help, Lou Dexin, who was lying on the bed, swiftly got up to save them. After a while of artificial respiration (人工呼吸), the two children were rescued. Because of the force on his face, his retinas became weaker. Eventually, he was completely blind.
Lou Dexin suffered from depression due to blindness. In order to cheer him up, Lou Shunguang would tie a rope around him and lead him on a run. Holding a rope, the two of them have been running like this for 30 years. The rope hangs on their hands and keeps the two moving at the same pace as much as possible. Finally, after falling down and getting up countless times, the two gradually can cooperate well. However, nobody knows how much effort was spent to get to this point. Lou Dexin and Lou Shunguang cannot remember how many times they have fallen and how many pairs of shoes have been worn.
The rope, a symbol of their love, has brought Lou Dexin out of severe depression. After the story went viral online, many netizens were moved and called it “the most beautiful long-distance love run”.
4. What directly caused Lou Dexin’s blindness?
A. The failure of the surgery. B. The overuse of his eyes.
C. The injury in an accident. D. The eye pressure in rescue efforts.
5. What can we learn about Lou Shunguang?
A. She enjoys running to keep fit. B. She is older than her husband.
C. She treats her husband considerately. D. She suffers from weak vision.
6. Which of the following best describes the “rope” running of the couple?
A. Dangerous. B. Touching. C. Effortless. D. Shocking.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. Hard work pays off. B. Love breaks down barriers.
C. Well begun is half done. D. All for one, one for all.
C
Mushrooms have been used by ancient humans for thousands of years, but archaeologists have only just uncovered their significant role in shaping civilisation.
Seventy-five years ago, in a wetland in Yorkshire, UK, archaeologists found the perfectly preserved remains of dozens of 11, 000-year-old mushrooms. Carefully cut and intentionally burned, it is thought that they were used by hunter-gatherers as tinder on their travels, enabling them to stay warm and cook food while on the move.
The discovery was so unlikely because fungi (菌类) are composed mostly of water, meaning they rapidly rot and disappear, and so are almost totally absent from the fossil (化石) record. As such, the unexpected ways that mushrooms helped our ancient ancestors survive have long remained secret, seemingly lost to time. But in the past few years, new tools have finally allowed us to identify fungal DNA and micro-residues in the mouths, utensils and clothing of prehistoric humans.
Until a decade ago, prehistoric diets were thought to consist only of meat and plants, excluding mushrooms. Yet rooted views about ancient daily choices are quietly shifting. In 2017, Weyrich’s team analysed the DNA in Palaeolithic dental plaque. They revealed that a group of Neanderthals in what is now Belgium supplemented their meaty meals with grey shag mushrooms, while those from a cave in northern Spain dined on split gill mushrooms. One member of the Spanish group, who lived around 48,000 years ago, even chewed on grasses with penicillin fungi, and may have deliberately sought out this antibiotic fungus to reduce dental pain.
These breakthroughs are highlighting how a hidden fungal kingdom fed, healed and warmed our Stone Age ancestors, with recent discoveries even illustrating how fungi helped hold early farming communities together, paving the way for the civilisation we live in today. “By revealing the invisible evidence in the archaeological record, we now see how fungal connections helped the earliest Neolithic communities to develop an understanding of their land and their society,” says Li Liu at Stanford University in California.
8. What does the underlined word “tinder” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. A water-heater. B. A fire starter.
C. An ancient cooker. D. An easy-to-use cutter.
9. Why was fungi’s role in civilisation unknown?
A. They formed special fossils. B. They grow only in wetlands.
C. They are hard to preserve long. D. They were burned out intentionally.
10. Why is one member of the Spanish group mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To illustrate the updated view. B. To make a scientific prediction.
C. To confirm the previous thought. D. To introduce a new research method.
11. What may Li Liu most likely agree with?
A. Mushrooms built the modern civilization.

Most of the time when we talk about muscle memory, we’re not talking about the muscles themselves but about the memory of a coordinated (协调的) movement pattern that lives in the motor neurons, which control our muscles. Yet in recent years, scientists have discovered that our muscles themselves have a memory for movement and exercise. The more we move, as with riding a bike, the more muscle cells begin to make a memory of that exercise.
As the muscle scientist Adam Sharples explained, skeletal muscle cells are unique in the human body: They’re long and skinny, like fibers, and have multiple nuclei. The fibers grow larger not by dividing but by recruiting (招募) muscle satellite cells — stem cells specific to muscle that are inactive until activated in response to stress or injury — to contribute their own nuclei and support muscle growth and regeneration. Those nuclei often stick around for a while in the muscle fibers, even after periods of inactivity, they may help speed up the return to growth once you start training again.
Sharples’s research focuses on what’s called epigenetic muscle memory. “Epigenetic” refers to changes in gene expression that are caused by behavior and environment — the genes themselves don’t change, but the way they work does. In general, exercise switches on genes that help make muscles grow more easily. When you lift weights, for example, small molecules called methyl (甲基) groups leave from the outside of certain genes, making them more likely to turn on and produce proteins that affect muscle growth. Those changes persist; if you start lifting weights again, you’ll add muscle mass more quickly than before. In other words: Your muscles remember how to do it.
Subsequent studies from Sharples and others have reproduced similar findings in mice and older humans, offering further supporting evidence of epigenetic muscle memory across species and into later life. Even aging muscles have the capacity to remember when you work out. The takeaway? Your muscles have their own kind of intelligence. The more you use them, the more they can use it to become a lasting beneficial resource for your body in the future.
12. What is the common idea about muscle memory?
A. It is stored in the nervous system. B. It relies on muscular coordination.

14. What can we learn about “epigenetic muscle memory”?
A. It is caused by gene expression inside DNA.
B. It stops functioning right after exercise ends.
C. It makes muscle regain growth more efficiently.
D. It depends on methyl groups to produce protein.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What Happens to Muscles? B. How do Muscles Remember?
C. Muscle Cells: An All-Rounder D. Muscle Memory: An Open Secret

Saying No with Passion
I have always believed in giving back. As a single mom for most of my adult life, I couldn’t help by giving money; instead, I volunteered for every good cause that came my way. When my son started school, I became a room mother, a classroom volunteer, a Cub Scout leader, and a teacher at Sunday school. I enjoyed some of these activities, but not all. Then my two daughters were born, and my volunteer work tripled.
As a lawyer, I got many requests to join boards and take part in charitable activities. Different committees kept asking for my help. How could I say no to a good cause? I ended up doing too much and feeling upset because my volunteer work took time away from me and my kids. But I still kept agreeing to everyone who asked, since so many people needed help.
One day at lunch, I told a good friend about my dilemma. “You need to learn to say NO,” she said. “It’s not about which cause is more important — they’re all important. It’s about finding your passion. Find the one thing that means the most to you personally, then volunteer in that area. You’ll find you enjoy it far more and resent (憎恨) it less, making you a much better volunteer.”
Her words made sense, but I didn’t know what my passion was. I loved my kids, so I only volunteered for their activities, using them as an excuse to turn down others.
This worked well until my youngest child went to college. All the people I’d turned down before came back to ask for help. Even with more free time, I felt stressed again. I took a class to find my passion and thought a lot about it. Then I realized: I loved all ages of my kids, but I especially loved their high school years. They were old enough to take care of themselves but young enough to accept new ideas.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
So I started looking for ways to help high school kids.

This passion for high school kids changed me a lot.
