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) JINAN — At 4 p.m., more than 30 students practice basic archery (射箭) techniques in the Jinxiu Cheng Primary School training room in Jinan, the capital of East China’s Shandong province. “Keep your hands steady. Even slight movements may affect fluidity,” says Li Weibin, head coach of the school’s archery club, as he corrects the students’ posture. Li, who competed twice in China’s National Games and won the men’s title at the 2006 National Outdoor Archery Championships, became a physical education teacher at the primary school after retiring from professional sports through a special recruitment program, bringing his elite experience to the campus. Archery is not only an official event at the Summer Olympic Games, but also a traditional Chinese sport with a history dating back more than a thousand years. It evolved from hunting to recreation and then into a competitive discipline. According to Li, introducing archery to primary schools helps identify and nurture young talent, promotes traditional culture, and diversifies school sports beyond ball games. Drawing on his professional background, Li selects students during regular PE classes who have suitable physical conditions and interest to join the archery club, where he provides systematic training from basic techniques to competition-oriented practice. 36. The meaning of “fluidity” in the first paragraph of the passage may refer to ________. A. the level of the focus in learning archery B. the judgment of referees in archery competitions C. the coach’s way of correcting students’ posture D. the performance of arrows during the process of competitions 37. The correct statement about Coach Li in the following situations is that ________. A. Li is the most skilled archer in the local area of Jinan B. Li has participated in China’s National Games C. Li has won many championships in various archery competitions D. Li was selected as a PE teacher through many layers of screening by the school 38. ________ is the main reason why Li is dedicated to bringing archery skills into school. A. The great attention that archery has received at the Summer Olympic Games B. The ability to attract students’ interest in ball sports through archery C. The popular traditional culture that archery has turned to be in China D. The undergoing technological changes and updating applications of archery 39. According to the passage, Coach Li may choose to ________ in his future career. A. become a professional archery athlete again B. continue to major in the school’s teaching tasks of PE C. serving as a member of the Jinan Archery Association D. be responsible for cultivating good candidates of competitions 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. C 39. D 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述退役射箭运动员入职小学任教，在校开设射箭课程，并介绍校园射箭运动带来的多重积极意义。 【36题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的““Keep your hands steady. Even slight movements may affect fluidity,” says Li Weibin, head coach of the school’s archery club, as he corrects the students’ posture. (该校射箭社团主教练李伟斌一边纠正学生姿势，一边说道：“手稳住，哪怕轻微晃动也会影响流畅度。”)”可知，结合射箭运动场景，手部不稳会干扰箭矢飞行状态，由此推断，划线单词指代“箭矢在比赛过程中的飞行表现”。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Li, who competed twice in China’s National Games and won the men’s title at the 2006 National Outdoor Archery Championships, became a physical education teacher at the primary school after retiring from professional sports through a special recruitment program, bringing his elite experience to the campus. (曾两次征战全运会、斩获2006年全国室外射箭锦标赛男子冠军的李，结束职业运动生涯后，通过专项招录成为这所小学的体育教师，将专业顶尖经验带入校园。)”可知，李教练有参加全运会的经历。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Archery is not only an official event at the Summer Olympic Games, but also a traditional Chinese sport with a history dating back more than a thousand years.(射箭不仅是夏季奥运会正式比赛项目，也是拥有上千年历史的中国传统体育运动。)”可知，射箭底蕴深厚的传统文化属性，是教练在校推广这项运动的主要原因。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It evolved from hunting to recreation and then into a competitive discipline. According to Li, introducing archery to primary schools helps identify and nurture young talent, promotes traditional culture, and diversifies school sports beyond ball games.(射箭从狩猎用途逐步演变为休闲活动，进而发展成竞技项目。李表示，小学开设射箭课程有助于发掘培养青少年人才、传承传统文化，也能丰富校园体育项目，打破球类运动单一的局面。)”以及第四段中的“Li selects students during regular PE classes who have suitable physical conditions and interest to join the archery club, where he provides systematic training from basic techniques to competition-oriented practice.(李在常规体育课上挑选身体素质合适且抱有兴趣的学生加入射箭社团，并在社团内开展从基础技巧到竞技实训的系统化训练。)”可知，李教练致力于发掘苗子并开展竞技训练，未来大概率会负责培养参赛后备选手。 (B) Travelling around the bank holidays is a great way to boost your annual leave — by booking time off strategically, you can enjoy longer breaks without eating into your holiday allowance.

England and Wales have eight bank holidays a year while Scotland enjoys nine and Northern Ireland has ten.The next bank holiday in England, Wales and Scotland is April 3, Good Friday. But for Northern Ireland it’s March 17, St Patrick’s Day. In some years, there have also been additional bank holidays due to special events, such as the King’s coronation in 2023. 40. What's the main advantage of traveling around bank holidays? A. It can help people save money on travel costs. B. It helps people avoid crowded tourist attractions. C. It lets people enjoy more special events during holidays. D. It allows people to get longer breaks without using too much holiday allowance. 41. Lily is an engineer in Ireland (excluding weekends and bank holidays, she can take an additional 4 days off each month). In 2026, if Lily wants to visit the Maldives, where the weather will be perfect in April, she can take up to ________ consecutive days off. A. 14 B. 16 C. 18 D. 20 42. What can be inferred from the passage about bank holidays in the UK? A. Scotland observes exactly the same bank holidays as England and Wales. B. Northern Ireland’s unique bank holidays are related to its local history. C. The UK government plans to standardize bank holidays across all regions by 2026. D. Businesses in the UK are legally required to close on all bank holidays 【答案】40. D 41. B 42. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍2026年英格兰和威尔士的银行假日日期，阐述了充分利用银行假日的方法，还说明了英国不同地区银行假日数量及日期存在差异。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Travelling around the bank holidays is a great way to boost your annual leave — by booking time off strategically, you can enjoy longer breaks without eating into your holiday allowance.(在银行假日周边旅行是增加年假的好方法——通过合理规划请假时间，你可以享受更长的假期而不占用太多你的假期额度)”可知，在银行假日周边旅行的主要优势是能让人们在不使用太多假期额度的情况下享受更长的休息时间。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。为了保证请假的连续性，可以把三月份的两天假，算到四月份。请假如下：3/28（周六）→ 3/29（周日）→ 3/30（请假）→ 3/31（请假）→ 4/1（请假）→ 4/2（请假）→ 4/3（银行假日）→ 4/4（周六）→ 4/5（周日）→ 4/6（银行假日）→ 4/7（请假）→ 4/8（请假）→ 4/9（请假）→ 4/10（请假）→ 4/11（周六）→ 4/12（周日），由此可知，从 3/28 到 4/12，一共 16 天。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Different bank holidays in different regions of the UK”部分“The next bank holiday in England, Wales and Scotland is April 3, Good Friday. But for Northern Ireland it’s March 17, St Patrick’s Day.(英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰的下一个银行假日是4月3日耶稣受难日。但北爱尔兰是3月17日圣帕特里克节。）以及常识，圣帕特里克节是北爱尔兰重要的传统节日，与当地历史文化紧密相关，可推断北爱尔兰独特的银行假日与当地历史有关。 (C) Scientists have created the best ever map of dark matter (暗物质) using subtle distortions in the shape of about 250,000 galaxies. It could help us understand some of the biggest mysteries in the universe. Dark matter is extraordinarily hard to map because, true to its name, it doesn’t emit any light that we can detect. It only interacts with regular matter through its gravitational pull, so that is what researchers use to figure out where it is. Jacqueline McCleary at Northeastern University in Massachusetts and her colleagues used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to do so, examining an area of sky slightly bigger than the full moon. “It is a very high-resolution picture of the scaffolding of this little corner of the universe,” says McCleary. The resolution (分辨率) of the map is about twice as high as previous ones made with the Hubble Space Telescope, and it includes structures much further from Earth. This mind-blowing map shows Earth’s position within the vast universe To make this map, the researchers examined the shapes of about 250,000 galaxies – but it isn’t their inherent shape that is interesting. “Those galaxies (星系) are basically the universal wallpaper,” says Liliya Williams at the University of Minnesota, who wasn’t involved in the analysis. Instead, what’s important is how the gravity of dark matter between the telescope and the “wallpaper” warps the light of the galaxies, in a process called gravitational lensing (引力透镜): the further the average shape of the distant galaxies is from circular, the more dark matter lies between them and us. By analyzing these differences in shape, the researchers mapped out huge clusters of galaxies, along with the strings of the universal web that connects them. Some of these structures didn’t match up with anything we had previously seen while observing regular, or luminous, matter, indicating that they must be dominated by dark matter. “To identify many of these structures over a wide field, gravitational lensing is one of very, very few techniques, and definitely the best,” says Williams. This is important because dark matter makes up about 85 per cent of the total matter in the universe, so it is crucial to the evolution of not only galaxies and galaxy clusters, but also the cosmos as a whole. Building a map of its distribution could help us nail down how it behaves and what exactly it is made of, says Williams. 43. The researchers create the map of dark matter mainly through ________. A. Observing the light emitted by dark matter directly B. Analyzing the slight shape changes of about 250,000 galaxies C. Measuring the gravitational pull of regular matter in the universe D. Comparing the resolution of JWST and Hubble Space Telescope 44. Which of the following statements about dark matter is TRUE according to the passage? A. It makes up 85 per cent of the total matter in the universe B. It interacts with regular matter through shining radiation C. Its distribution map has already explained its exact composition D. It can be easily detected by traditional astronomical telescopes 45. We infer from the passage about gravitational lensing that ________. A. it is the only technique to identify dark matter structures in the universe B. it helps researchers find dark matter by warping the light of distant galaxies C. it works better when the shape of distant galaxies is perfectly circular D. it was first discovered by Jacqueline McCleary and her research team 46. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To introduce the differences between JWST and Hubble Space Telescope B. To explain why dark matter is hard to detect in the universe C. To present the creation and significance of the best dark matter map so far D. To discuss the evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters in the universe 【答案】43. B 44. A 45. B 46. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍科学家绘制出迄今最优暗物质分布图，阐述制图原理、观测方式以及这份地图具备的宇宙研究价值。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Scientists have created the best ever map of dark matter (暗物质) using subtle distortions in the shape of about 250,000 galaxies. (科学家利用大约二十五万个星系形态的细微形变，绘制出有史以来最优质的暗物质分布图。)”可知，暗物质无法直接观测发光现象，研究团队依靠捕捉星系外形产生的细微变化开展分析工作，以此完成暗物质地图绘制。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“This is important because dark matter makes up about 85 per cent of the total matter in the universe, so it is crucial to the evolution of not only galaxies and galaxy clusters, but also the cosmos as a whole. (这一点十分重要，因为暗物质约占宇宙总物质的百分之八十五，因此它不仅对星系与星系团的演化至关重要，对整个宇宙的演化同样意义重大。)”可知，暗物质占据宇宙总物质的百分之八十五该表述与原文内容完全相符。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Instead, what’s important is how the gravity of dark matter between the telescope and the “wallpaper” warps the light of the galaxies, in a process called gravitational lensing (引力透镜): the further the average shape of the distant galaxies is from circular, the more dark matter lies between them and us. (相反，关键在于望远镜与这幅“背景图景”之间的暗物质引力如何扭曲星系光线，该现象被称作引力透镜效应：遥远星系的整体形态偏离圆形越明显，其与地球之间存在的暗物质就越多。)”可知，引力透镜的工作原理就是暗物质引力弯折星系光线，科研人员借此规律找寻暗物质踪迹，由此可知，遥远星系形状呈正圆形时，该方式效果更佳。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中的“Scientists have created the best ever map of dark matter (暗物质) using subtle distortions in the shape of about 250,000 galaxies. (科学家利用大约二十五万个星系形态的细微形变，绘制出有史以来最优质的暗物质分布图。)”以及最后一段中的“Building a map of its distribution could help us nail down how it behaves and what exactly it is made of, says Williams. (威廉姆斯称，绘制暗物质分布图有助于我们确定其特性与具体构成成分。)”可知，文章围绕最优暗物质地图展开，介绍其绘制方式、技术特点与科研价值，由此可知，文章主要介绍目前最优暗物质地图的绘制过程与现实意义。 Section C（8’） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box.

Greenland is Important for Global Research Geopolitics made Greenland the unexpected focus of the world’s attention. But the territory has long been a unique region for science. The history of research in Greenland includes science stemming from Inuit traditional knowledge, European polar explorations and US military expeditions. ___47___ By the 1990s, the island had become a global centre for climate-change research, after European- and US-led teams drilled ice cores deep into Greenland’s ice sheet to reveal past changes in climate. Today, climate scientists from around the world measure, analyse and predict changes in Greenland’s ice sheet. ___48___ Last year, it lost an estimated 129 billion tonnes of ice, and it is responsible for around 20% of current sea-level rise, or about 0.8 millimetres a year. But “Greenland is about more than just ice and climate indicators”, says a 2022 document from Greenland's government that laid out its first-ever research strategy. ___49___ And Greenland is a unique place for genetic and biomedical research, given that its mostly Inuit population has been living around the edges of an icy island for millennia; that physical isolation led to genomic and other changes unlike anywhere else in the world. The 2022 plan, which lays out the island’s research priorities up to 2030, emphasized that research needs to be anchored in Greenland and to respond to social needs. ___50___ A. If Greenland’s ice sheet melted completely, it would cause the global sea level to rise by 7.4 metres. B. Greenland became a global hub for climate-change research mainly because of its unique Inuit culture. C. Greenland’s 2022 research strategy is the first one released by its government. D. The island is a key site for geological research due to its special geology and rich critical raw materials. E. The 2022 research plan requires findings to be accessible to all and supports international cooperation. F. Greenland’s Inuit population has genetic similarities to people living in other Arctic regions. 【答案】47. A 48. C 49. D 50.

The Science Why Chia Seeds (奇亚籽) are a Superfood Chia seeds are full of fiber (纤维素) and protein. Here’s how to make them easier on your digestive tract. Don’t let their diminutive size deceive you: Chia seeds are absolutely packed with nutrients, “There’s nothing negative about them,” says Keith Ayoob, a registered dietitian-nutritionist in New York City and an associate professor emeritus of pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. “They’re loaded with a lot of the things people are missing.” These dark gray, egg-shaped seeds come from the desert plants were once believed to be a staple in the ancient Aztec diet in Central America. “We have scientific evidence that they’re good for gut and cardiovascular health, including blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol,” says Wendy Bazilian, a nutrition and wellness expert in San Diego and host of the 1,000 Waking Minutes podcast. Indeed, some scientists have called chia seeds “a therapeutic weapon against metabolic disorders.” Not everyone knows how to consume chia seeds. Chia seeds absorb ten times their weight in water, according to Dawn Jackson Blatner. Because of this, experts often recommend soaking them in liquid before consuming them; otherwise, the seeds could cause bloating or other forms of gastrointestinal discomfort. “Soaking makes it more likely that they’ll feel good in the digestive tract,” Blatner says, “and you will feel more full if you soak them first.” That’s because as they absorb water, chia seeds expand and develop a gelatinous texture. If you’re going to soak them, combine ¼ cup chia seeds with a cup of milk or water and let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes, Ayoob suggests, although you can soak them overnight. “But don’t get too hung up on the soaking — that gets in the way of people using them,” Blatner says. In lieu of soaking, you can sprinkle dry chia seeds on yogurt, cereal, salads, or vegetables. Just be sure to drink plenty of fluids as you consume them — otherwise, “they’re going to swell up somewhere down the GI tract,” Ayoob says. If you do decide to add chia seeds to your diet, it’s important to consume them regularly. “A superfood can’t be a one-trick pony,” Bazilian says. “You need to be able to eat enough of it, and chia seeds are versatile.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Chia seeds are nutrient-rich superfoods, packed with fiber and protein, benefiting gut and heart health. Soaking them in liquid prevents bloating by forming a gel. Alternatively, dry seeds can be sprinkled on food with enough water. Regular consumption enhances their health benefits due to versatility and ease of use in daily meals. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍奇亚籽成为超级食物的科学依据，并讲解奇亚籽的科学食用方式与相关注意事项。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①“We have scientific evidence that they’re good for gut and cardiovascular health, including blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol,” says Wendy Bazilian, a nutrition and wellness expert in San Diego and host of the 1,000 Waking Minutes podcast.

Researchers are exploring the causes, the consequences and what should be done.(by Cassandra Willyard) When Lola was eight years old, she went through a massive growth spurt and started developing acne and a visit to an endocrinologist in 2023 confirmed that Lola’s brain was already producing hormones that had kick-started puberty. Lola had also been ____11____emotionally. “She would have panic attacks every day at school,” says Elise, who lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota Although eight might seem young to start puberty, it’s not as rare as it once was. Data show that girls around the world are entering puberty younger than before. Some research hints that the ____12____ mysteriously accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Although some data suggest that puberty is happening earlier for boys too, the ____13____seems to be less pronounced.) Scientists have found a ____14____of possible drivers for this change, with increasing body weight and obesity almost certainly playing a part. Some researchers suspect that ____15____ to hormone-disrupting chemicals or stress during childhood could be pushing puberty earlier, but studies have produced ____16____ results. The trend has prompted the international organization the Endocrine Society to develop clinical-practice guidelines on puberty, to be published in mid-2026. The guidelines will reconsider how to treat girls on the border between ____17____ and ‘precocious’ puberty (早熟), which has commonly been ____18____as before the age of eight in girls, but that some specialists argue it should be younger. Research over the past few years is also making the health risks of early puberty increasingly clear. Studies have linked it to greater risk of conditions including obesity, heart disease, depression and anxiety. Other research suggests that children who go through puberty earlier are more likely to experience intense ____19____ because of their race or ethnicity, or otherwise be treated differently from their peers. Families, researchers and clinicians are now trying to work out how best to adapt and when to intervene. This might involve medications to pause the process, but also better support and puberty education for children to protect them from some of the psychological and ____20____ risks. “We want to intervene right in that moment before people start internalizing some of those feelings of being othered,” says Michael Curtis, a family social scientist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

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) JINAN — At 4 p.m., more than 30 students practice basic archery (射箭) techniques in the Jinxiu Cheng Primary School training room in Jinan, the capital of East China’s Shandong province. “Keep your hands steady. Even slight movements may affect fluidity,” says Li Weibin, head coach of the school’s archery club, as he corrects the students’ posture. Li, who competed twice in China’s National Games and won the men’s title at the 2006 National Outdoor Archery Championships, became a physical education teacher at the primary school after retiring from professional sports through a special recruitment program, bringing his elite experience to the campus. Archery is not only an official event at the Summer Olympic Games, but also a traditional Chinese sport with a history dating back more than a thousand years. It evolved from hunting to recreation and then into a competitive discipline. According to Li, introducing archery to primary schools helps identify and nurture young talent, promotes traditional culture, and diversifies school sports beyond ball games. Drawing on his professional background, Li selects students during regular PE classes who have suitable physical conditions and interest to join the archery club, where he provides systematic training from basic techniques to competition-oriented practice. 36. The meaning of “fluidity” in the first paragraph of the passage may refer to ________. A. the level of the focus in learning archery B. the judgment of referees in archery competitions C. the coach’s way of correcting students’ posture D. the performance of arrows during the process of competitions 37. The correct statement about Coach Li in the following situations is that ________. A. Li is the most skilled archer in the local area of Jinan B. Li has participated in China’s National Games C. Li has won many championships in various archery competitions D. Li was selected as a PE teacher through many layers of screening by the school 38. ________ is the main reason why Li is dedicated to bringing archery skills into school. A. The great attention that archery has received at the Summer Olympic Games B. The ability to attract students’ interest in ball sports through archery C. The popular traditional culture that archery has turned to be in China D. The undergoing technological changes and updating applications of archery 39. According to the passage, Coach Li may choose to ________ in his future career. A. become a professional archery athlete again B. continue to major in the school’s teaching tasks of PE C. serving as a member of the Jinan Archery Association D. be responsible for cultivating good candidates of competitions (B) Travelling around the bank holidays is a great way to boost your annual leave — by booking time off strategically, you can enjoy longer breaks without eating into your holiday allowance.

It could help us understand some of the biggest mysteries in the universe. Dark matter is extraordinarily hard to map because, true to its name, it doesn’t emit any light that we can detect. It only interacts with regular matter through its gravitational pull, so that is what researchers use to figure out where it is. Jacqueline McCleary at Northeastern University in Massachusetts and her colleagues used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to do so, examining an area of sky slightly bigger than the full moon. “It is a very high-resolution picture of the scaffolding of this little corner of the universe,” says McCleary. The resolution (分辨率) of the map is about twice as high as previous ones made with the Hubble Space Telescope, and it includes structures much further from Earth. This mind-blowing map shows Earth’s position within the vast universe To make this map, the researchers examined the shapes of about 250,000 galaxies – but it isn’t their inherent shape that is interesting. “Those galaxies (星系) are basically the universal wallpaper,” says Liliya Williams at the University of Minnesota, who wasn’t involved in the analysis. Instead, what’s important is how the gravity of dark matter between the telescope and the “wallpaper” warps the light of the galaxies, in a process called gravitational lensing (引力透镜): the further the average shape of the distant galaxies is from circular, the more dark matter lies between them and us. By analyzing these differences in shape, the researchers mapped out huge clusters of galaxies, along with the strings of the universal web that connects them. Some of these structures didn’t match up with anything we had previously seen while observing regular, or luminous, matter, indicating that they must be dominated by dark matter. “To identify many of these structures over a wide field, gravitational lensing is one of very, very few techniques, and definitely the best,” says Williams. This is important because dark matter makes up about 85 per cent of the total matter in the universe, so it is crucial to the evolution of not only galaxies and galaxy clusters, but also the cosmos as a whole. Building a map of its distribution could help us nail down how it behaves and what exactly it is made of, says Williams. 43. The researchers create the map of dark matter mainly through ________. A. Observing the light emitted by dark matter directly B. Analyzing the slight shape changes of about 250,000 galaxies C. Measuring the gravitational pull of regular matter in the universe D. Comparing the resolution of JWST and Hubble Space Telescope 44. Which of the following statements about dark matter is TRUE according to the passage? A. It makes up 85 per cent of the total matter in the universe B. It interacts with regular matter through shining radiation C. Its distribution map has already explained its exact composition D.

A. it is the only technique to identify dark matter structures in the universe B. it helps researchers find dark matter by warping the light of distant galaxies C. it works better when the shape of distant galaxies is perfectly circular D. it was first discovered by Jacqueline McCleary and her research team 46. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To introduce the differences between JWST and Hubble Space Telescope B. To explain why dark matter is hard to detect in the universe C. To present the creation and significance of the best dark matter map so far D. To discuss the evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters in the universe Section C（8’） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box.

Greenland is Important for Global Research Geopolitics made Greenland the unexpected focus of the world’s attention. But the territory has long been a unique region for science. The history of research in Greenland includes science stemming from Inuit traditional knowledge, European polar explorations and US military expeditions. ___47___ By the 1990s, the island had become a global centre for climate-change research, after European- and US-led teams drilled ice cores deep into Greenland’s ice sheet to reveal past changes in climate. Today, climate scientists from around the world measure, analyse and predict changes in Greenland’s ice sheet. ___48___ Last year, it lost an estimated 129 billion tonnes of ice, and it is responsible for around 20% of current sea-level rise, or about 0.8 millimetres a year. But “Greenland is about more than just ice and climate indicators”, says a 2022 document from Greenland's government that laid out its first-ever research strategy. ___49___ And Greenland is a unique place for genetic and biomedical research, given that its mostly Inuit population has been living around the edges of an icy island for millennia; that physical isolation led to genomic and other changes unlike anywhere else in the world. The 2022 plan, which lays out the island’s research priorities up to 2030, emphasized that research needs to be anchored in Greenland and to respond to social needs. ___50___ A. If Greenland’s ice sheet melted completely, it would cause the global sea level to rise by 7.4 metres. B. Greenland became a global hub for climate-change research mainly because of its unique Inuit culture. C. Greenland’s 2022 research strategy is the first one released by its government. D. The island is a key site for geological research due to its special geology and rich critical raw materials. E. The 2022 research plan requires findings to be accessible to all and supports international cooperation. F. Greenland’s Inuit population has genetic similarities to people living in other Arctic regions. IV. Summary Writing（10’） 51. Directions: Read the following passage.

The Science Why Chia Seeds (奇亚籽) are a Superfood Chia seeds are full of fiber (纤维素) and protein. Here’s how to make them easier on your digestive tract. Don’t let their diminutive size deceive you: Chia seeds are absolutely packed with nutrients, “There’s nothing negative about them,” says Keith Ayoob, a registered dietitian-nutritionist in New York City and an associate professor emeritus of pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. “They’re loaded with a lot of the things people are missing.” These dark gray, egg-shaped seeds come from the desert plants were once believed to be a staple in the ancient Aztec diet in Central America. “We have scientific evidence that they’re good for gut and cardiovascular health, including blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol,” says Wendy Bazilian, a nutrition and wellness expert in San Diego and host of the 1,000 Waking Minutes podcast. Indeed, some scientists have called chia seeds “a therapeutic weapon against metabolic disorders.” Not everyone knows how to consume chia seeds. Chia seeds absorb ten times their weight in water, according to Dawn Jackson Blatner. Because of this, experts often recommend soaking them in liquid before consuming them; otherwise, the seeds could cause bloating or other forms of gastrointestinal discomfort. “Soaking makes it more likely that they’ll feel good in the digestive tract,” Blatner says, “and you will feel more full if you soak them first.” That’s because as they absorb water, chia seeds expand and develop a gelatinous texture. If you’re going to soak them, combine ¼ cup chia seeds with a cup of milk or water and let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes, Ayoob suggests, although you can soak them overnight. “But don’t get too hung up on the soaking — that gets in the way of people using them,” Blatner says. In lieu of soaking, you can sprinkle dry chia seeds on yogurt, cereal, salads, or vegetables. Just be sure to drink plenty of fluids as you consume them — otherwise, “they’re going to swell up somewhere down the GI tract,” Ayoob says. If you do decide to add chia seeds to your diet, it’s important to consume them regularly. “A superfood can’t be a one-trick pony,” Bazilian says. “You need to be able to eat enough of it, and chia seeds are versatile.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.
