It is a long tube that runs from your mouth, where the food goes in, to your anus where the waste comes out. In between that, your digestive system sorts and uses the food you eat to make sure your body has everything it needs to stay healthy. Like a food blender, which uses sharp blades to cut food into tiny pieces, your teeth, tongue and stomach do the same thing to the food you eat, so that it is easier to digest. Before the Stomach Firstly, as you put food in your mouth to eat it, your teeth are breaking it down into smaller pieces. Then, saliva (唾液) is mixed with it and your mouth cools it or warms it to a good temperature for you to be able to swallow and goes down a big tube to your stomach called the esophagus (食管). Muscles in the esophagus move in waves to move the food down to your stomach. At The Stomach When the chewed-up food arrives in the stomach, it is mixed with acid that breaks the food down even more into something that looks a bit like porridge. This substance is called ‘chyme’. After the Stomach The next part of the journey for your food (which doesn’t look like food anymore) is through the small intestine (肠). It’s here that all the goodness is taken out of the food and goes off to different places in the for you to use. When the small intestine has done its job of getting all the goodness out of the food, all the material that is unwanted goes into the large intestine. Finally, the unwanted material makes its way out of the body as poo at the end of the large intestine. 21. What is the main function of the digestive system? A. To produce saliva and stomach acid. B. To transform food into nutrients for the body C. To create energy through chemical reactions. D. To store waste materials temporarily. 22. Which organ is responsible for absorbing nutrients from digested food? A. The esophagus. B. The stomach. C. The small intestine. D. The large intestine 23. What is the most likely source of this passage? A. A health magazine. B.A science fiction novel. C. A research paper. D. medical encyclopedia entry. B In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan, He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea. His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way. This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral (葬礼) followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea. Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan. His judgment and references are decidedly American. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result isa fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions. 24. What made Mr. Bissell return to Uzbekistan? A. His friends’ invitation. B. His interest in the country C. His love for teaching. D. His desire to regain health. 25. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Developing a serious mental disease. B. Taking a guided tour in Central Asia. C. Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. D. Writing an article about the Aral Sea. 26. Which of the following best describes Mr. Bissell’s road trip in Uzbekistan? A. Romantic. B. Eventful. C. Pleasant. D. Comfortable 27. What is the purpose of this text? A. To introduce a book. B. To explain a cultural phenomenon. C. To remember a writer. D. To recommend a travel destination. C It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related?” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 28. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate? A. The inconsistence between words and meaning. B. The importance of remembering vital moments. C. The necessity of straightforward communication. D. The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life. 29. What may make human language different from true codes? A. The context included in understanding meanings. B. The definitions made by words in communication. C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 30. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony? A. It simplifies language to save time. B. It covers the true feelings of people. C. It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 31. What does the author suggest in communication? A. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally. C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones. D Imagine waking up one morning to find your smartphone missing. You can no longer get guided to work, order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare（噩梦）. But it should not be exactly far-fetched. Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious. Anxiety rates increased by 25% globally. Depression now affects over 280 million people worldwide. All of this is due to our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored. While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills. For example, GPS has undeniably transformed how we travel. But a 2020 study found that frequent GPS users struggle more with self-guided navigation. Over time, those who depended more on GPS showed a sharp decline in spacial memory and problem-solving skills. However, reducing dependence on these conveniences can lead to discomfort. In seeking comfort today, we might be trading away some discomfort. That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us. Viewing stress, a kind of discomfort, as a challenge rather than a threat leads to better outcomes. Research shows that mild stress can enhance adaptability. Neuroscience（神经科学)reveals that neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to form new connections—is enhanced through challenging experiences. This adaptability is crucial for developing resilience（抗逆力）, a process fueled by both mental challenges and active effort. But this doesn't mean we should reject comfort entirely; it's to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of it as “microdosing hardship”—a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand. These small acts are enough to reawaken the resilience we've buried under layers of ease. So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause. Ask yourself: Is this momentary comfort helping me grow or is it keeping me stuck? Choosing discomfort isn't easy, but sometimes, it’s worth it. 32. What does the underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Possible to change. B. Certain to function. C. Unlikely to be settled. D. Unable to be accepted. 33. What may digital conveniences cause according to the text? A. The fast but worthless relief. B. The meaningful engagement. C. The loss of thinking capacity. D. The lack of necessary comfort. 34. Which is a real-life application of “microdosing hardship”? A. Taking the stairs instead of the lift. B. Ordering take-out food after work. C. Exploring a new city by using GPS. D. Writing an email using voice-to-text. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. GPS: the invisible cost of convenience B. Stress: the main cause of brain damage C. Discomfort: a hidden source of resilience D. Smartphones: barriers to human progress 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to deal with the “Grass Is Greener” Syndrome Grass is Greener Syndrome is a problem one can have, which means you are never happy with what you have.

It was just parents and me. Over the years I’ve noticed how well my parents manage to look after their health and how healthy they are. I had never bothered to follow their example or been that curious about the secret of their good health. I never realized what a great resource they could be. I would look at them both, so slim, strong and healthy -- much more so than me -- and think, how will I ever get to be like them? I’m constantly impressed by their toughness. They have never taken any sick days from work, unless they really need to. They don’t need to visit the doctor much. Their habits are deep-rooted and it works for them. Part of their success is how efficiently they control what they eat. Their diet is extremely healthy and they stick to it. For breakfast, it’s porridge; lunch is salad or a wholemeal sandwich with butter, garlic, raw onion and black pepper. Dinner is boiled vegetables, or beans. Both of them grew up eating fresh, unprocessed food. My dad is a bus driver, and my mum works part-time as a sales assistant. My dad started skipping at the age of six. He’s now a mini celebrity and admired by people worldwide with thousands of followers on social media. And my mum has won fitness competitions at the gym. In this respect, I was the complete opposite. I hated fitness and was lazy and unfit. Last week I had a health scare; I found a lump(肿块) on my neck. After an examination, it turned out to be fatty tissue, which isn’t harmful but unless I lose weight, or I have surgery, it could get worse. My parents said to me: don’t get surgery, let us train you and you’ll feel much better. I wanted to take the easy option and have it removed. But I also thought, maybe this was an eye-opener and a wake-up call for me to start getting fit. Para1：We worked out an exercise plan that suited all three of us. Para2：Now I can feel the benefits. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
