If you hope to look your best in the morning, you should ____11____ ultra-processed cakes and sweet juice with whole meal toast and unsweetened drinks. Scientists believe this change in attractiveness may come from blood sugar and insulin (胰岛素) shifts that affect skin condition and hormones. Dr Claire Bertcat notes that diet can quickly change how people look and are ____12____ by others. The study included 52 men and 52 women aged 20 to 30. Volunteers were ____13____ given a 500-calorie breakfast of either refined or unrefined carbohydrates (粗碳水化合物). The refined carb meal included white baguette, jam, sweetened juice, and sugary drinks. The unrefined ____14____ had whole meal bread, butter, cheese, fresh fruit, and unsweetened tea or coffee. Researchers tested blood sugar levels and took standardized photos before and after meals. Raters then judged the photos for age, masculinity or femininity, and attractiveness. Results published in Plos One showed that a refined-carb breakfast ____15____ facial attractiveness in both men and women. The effect differs by gender and meal type, showing the complex link between diet and appearance. Bertcat says the findings remind people that diet has ____16____ for health and socially important traits like attractiveness. Refined carbohydrates cause sharp blood sugar spikes, followed by insulin releases that may lead to hypoglycemia (低血糖). This condition affects blood flow and skin appearance, and only the refined-carb breakfast caused this response. Professor David Perrett adds that diet naturally affects attractiveness: plant pigments (色素) from fruits and vegetables boost ____17____, while high-sugar diets age skin. Rapid blood flow changes can quickly ____18____ skin tone and health appearance. Dr Bertcat advises ____19____ refined carbohydrates. These foods harm health and appearance, so choosing unrefined options is a simple way to support both wellness and attractiveness. The study shows that small daily dietary changes can have ____20____ effects on how people look and are judged by others. III. Reading Comprehension Section A (15) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in the blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Parks are emerging as important public health solutions in urban communities. Nearly 40 years of research evidence confirms that nearby nature, including parks, gardens, the urban forest and green spaces, support human health and wellness. The research about ___21___ living and opportunities to avoid chronic diseases (such as diabetes, heart disease and respiratory problems) is particularly relevant to large parks where people can enjoy walking and bike paths, and playing fields. But, ___22___ as important is the role of small parks and nature spaces for health. In many communities, additional land for large parks is either expensive or difficult to repurpose. Creating pocket parks can be a productive public and private joint venture that introduces the spaces for nature encounters that ___23___ everyone. The following is a list of the possible helpful effects pocket parks can bring to one’s life. Stress Reduction Stress is a major ___24___ ill health. Left unresolved, long-term stress can lead to immune system issues and illness. The ___25___ of nature is one antidote (对策) to stress, and the body’s positive response is remarkably fast, occurring within minutes. Studies by environmental psychologists show that mere visual exposure to nature, ___26___ trees, grass and flowers, can effectively reduce stress, particularly if initial stress levels are high. Better Mental Health and Functioning Experiences of nearby nature contribute to better mental health and improve one’s capacity to be productive. Modern life often demands sustained focus on projects, and this effort can lead to cognitive overload, bringing on irritability and an inability to function effectively, often with physical ___27___ . Views or brief experiences of nearby nature help to ___28___ the mind from mental fatigue, as natural settings provide relief from the highly focused attention needed for most tasks in school or at work. This may contribute to higher ___29___ in the workplace, as research shows that office workers with a view of nature are better able to attend to tasks, report fewer illnesses and have higher job satisfaction. Increased time of nature experience (up to 1.5 hours) increases the restorative effect. Building Social Capital Social capital, a critical condition for a host of community benefits, is formed from the interpersonal relationships of people and resulting supportive networks. The mere ____30____ of landscape or trees appears to promote community connections. Views of green space from homes are linked to greater ____31____ of well-being and neighborhood satisfaction. Public housing residents reported feeling safer if their community development had well-maintained landscaping, including trees and grass. ____32____, greener public facilities tend to be safer, with fewer incivilities and less reported crimes. Active involvement in community greening and nature restoration projects also produces social benefits, including strengthening of intergenerational ____33____ and organizational empowerment. Scientific evidence should be the basis of future efforts to make cities more ____34____ . We now know that nearby nature — including small plots or pockets embedded within all land uses — directly contributes to quality human habitat and is profoundly important for the health of mind and body.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. As one of modern biology’s most influential scientists, David Baltimore left an enduring scientific legacy in the era of molecular biology from its birth to the emergence of cellular engineering and genome (基因组) editing. Born in New York City in 1938, and raised in Great Neck, David traced the origins of his interest in biology to a particularly inspiring high school summer that his mother organized for him at the Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbour, Maine). There, he first encountered Howard Temin, with whom David would later share the Nobel Prize. After earning his bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 1960, David dived into the emerging field of molecular biology, specifically concentrating on viral reproduction. David’s fascination with viral reproduction strategies led him to explore RNA tumor (肿瘤) viruses, which in turn laid the foundation for his groundbreaking discovery of the enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT). This breakthrough was announced in 1970 in a Nature article alongside Howard Temin’s report, which both reported RT copied RNA into DNA, a feature that defined the novel class of retroviruses. For his revolutionary discovery concerning “the interaction between tumor viruses and the genetic material of the cell,” David shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine at the astonishingly tender age of 37. Beyond his scientific excellence, David was also an exceptional leader of scientific institutions. I, like many former trainees, can recount colorful stories of David’s wisdom, and influence. I vividly recall my interview for a position in David’s lab as a graduate student while David was already a towering scientific celebrity. As I entered his office, David rose from his desk and walked toward me with his hand outstretched. “Hello, I’m David Baltimore.” And we then engaged in a far-ranging conversation about life, science, and graduate school. While David warned me that his large lab would require considerable independence, his warmth and genuine interest convinced me that even rare moments with him would be enriching. I was so fortunate to visit David during his last days and receive his constructive and encouraging feedback from him, a scientist true to his lifelong role. 36. What excited David Baltimore’s interest in biology? A. A summer science camp during high school. B. The patient guidance from his mother at home. C. A discussion with Howard Temin at a conference. D. His chemistry studies during undergraduate years. 37. For what was David Baltimore awarded the Nobel Prize? A. His exploration of RNA tumor viruses. B. Inventing a new method of genome editing. C. His leadership in major research institutions. D. Discovering that RT copied RNA into DNA. 38. What was the author’s first impression of David Baltimore? A. Serious and distant. B. Hesitant and cautious. C. Learned and approachable. D. Authoritative and demanding. 39. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To memorize a great scientist. B. To stress cooperation in science. C. To announce a major achievement. D. To encourage youth to pursue a career. (B) When it comes to choosing a new destination to explore, some travelers are content to pick locations close to home, while others are willing to go to the ends of the earth. Here are some remote destinations that few people will have the chance to experience. Tristan da Cunha The island of Tristan da Cunha is set in the south Atlantic Ocean, 1,743 miles east of Cape Town, South Africa. Home to just 246 people, the island is an active volcano and its main town, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, was nearly destroyed in 1961 following an eruption. Travelers hoping to experience Tristan need to plan in advance, as permission from the Administrator and Island Council is required to visit. Ittoqqortoormiut, Greenland The small settlement of Ittoqqortoormiut, Greenland, is set between Northeast Greenland National Park and Scoresby Sund, the world’s largest national park. Its 450 residents live in brightly painted wooden houses that sit on permafrost, locked in nine months of sea ice and total darkness each winter. The village can be accessed only by helicopter or boat. There are varieties of wildlife in this region, including polar bears, narwhals, and walruses. Longyearbyen, Norway It is located about halfway between Norway and the North Pole, and has become a destination for travelers hoping to see both the northern lights and polar bears. Longyearbyen, a town of around 2,000 people, is dotted with colorful houses dating back to its heyday（鼎盛期）as a mining town. The region is completely dark for two-and-a-half months every winter, and the sun shines 24/7 in the summer. Grise Fiord, Nunavut, Canada Located on Ellesmere Island, Grise Fiord, or Aujuittugin Inuktitut, is the northernmost settlement in Canada. The Inuit village of 141 people is located in the Arctic Cordillera mountain range, and visitors can take in the area’s various wildlife, including narwhals, seals, beluga whales, walruses, musk oxen, and polar bears. 40. What do we know about Tristan da Cunha? A. It is connected to South Africa. B. It is an extremely cold place to live. C. A volcano eruption nearly destroyed it. D. Specific permission is required to visit it. 41. Which place is suitable for a person wanting to experience atmospheric light phenomena? A. Tristan da Cunha. B. Longyearbyen, Norway. C. Ittoqqortoormiut, Greenland. D. Grise Fiord, Nunavut, Canada. 42. What can be inferred about all four destinations mentioned in the article? A. They are all primarily accessed by helicopter. B. They are all permanently covered with ice and snow. C. They are all inhabited by small but tough communities. D. They are all facing significant threats from volcanic eruptions. (C) From the bags that find their way to the ocean and into the stomachs of whales to the straws that hurt turtles to the microscopic shards (碎片) and synthetic fibers that are found in the remote Arctic, plastic spreads through the planet. A 2017 study in Science Advances estimated that of all the plastic ever produced, 90 percent is still around, mainly in landfills or out in the environment. Bans on single-use plastic such as bags and straws have become a popular policy around the world to control plastic use. But though some of these rules have reduced waste in places, including Ireland and California, they do not directly address production and can send users to alternatives much less friendly to the environment. Researchers have learned enough about the flow of plastic waste to know it poses a widespread environmental problem. Plastic causes physical harm to animals and could combine with other threats to endanger vulnerable species. There is also concern about humans taking in micro-plastic. We must do a better job of stopping the flood. Doing that means coping with two broad goals: considerably reducing the amount of plastic we produce and improving the recycling and reuse of all that we make. The U.S. must be a bigger part of these solutions. Blame is too often laid merely at the feet of rapidly developing Asian countries that lack strong waste-management systems, and we forget the role that the U.S. plays not only in producing plastic but by exporting millions of tons of the waste to Asia. With some Asian countries no longer accepting imports of much recyclable waste, it has forced a reckoning (清算) in the U.S., with the local authorities responsible for an overwhelmed recycling system turning to landfills and incinerators (焚化炉). Those options can have other environmental impacts and trigger the creation of original plastic from fossil fuels, instead of reusing and recycling existing plastic. Only 9 percent of plastic in the U.S. is now recycled, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Federal and state governments should step up to help streamline the nation’s current recycling system. This could be done, for example, by standardizing what can be recycled and putting limits on additives such as coloring, which is expensive to remove and can make plastic less valuable to a recycler. Many researchers also say plastic product manufacturers need to be pushed beyond their present voluntary commitments to reduce plastic waste with incentives that will make them bear more of the cost of that waste. We need comprehensive solutions, not just Band-Aids that cover up the symptoms but ignore the roots of the plastic problem. 43. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Arctic is threatened with widespread plastic pollution. B. The majority of plastic produced is recycled for further use. C. Single-use plastic has been altogether eliminated worldwide. D. Bans on plastic bags may give rise to some unexpected results. 44. In this passage, the word “overwhelmed” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to “______”. A. illegal B. unreasonable C. ineffective D. irreplaceable 45. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Plastic product manufacturers should make clear what is suitable for recycling. B. Additives like coloring should be banned because it devalues plastic to a recycler. C. The root of the plastic problems lies in inadequate law enforcement to ban plastic. D. Compulsory measures for recycling should be imposed on plastic product manufacturers. 46. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. We Should Say No to Plastic. B. Plastic Pollution Affords No Delay! C. What Should We Do about Plastic? D. No Place is Free from Plastic. Section C (4) Directions: Read the following passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Dim Sum: A Tradition That’s Anything but Dim In Chinese, “dim sum” literally means “a light touch on the heart,” which is an ideal way to describe the small, delicious, sweet dishes. Common dishes include cha siu bao (pork-filled buns), haa gaau (shrimp dumplings), siu mai (pork dumplings) , and fung jaau (chicken feet), to name but a few. ____47____ It’s common across China, often made using different ingredients from each region. For example, Shanghai has xiao long bao (steamed pork dumplings) , and there is chao shou (wontons) in Sichuan. What sets Cantonese dim sum apart, though, is its extraordinary variety of dishes and the fact that the list keeps growing. “Generally, things remain the same,” says chef Mak Gui-pui, “except for those people who keep changing things. I’m not against innovation; it’s just that Cantonese dim sum has to be either cold or hot, according to the nature of the ingredient. You can’t fry a watermelon!” ____48____ Originally a snack to go with morning tea gatherings, it has become a popular meal for lunch and dinner as well. Traditional tea houses have given way to bigger, brighter and cleaner restaurants. You can even have business luncheons in dim sum restaurants now. While the dishes have become fancier and more presentable, Mak notes that one thing remains the same: going for dim sum, or yum cha, is still a joyful occasion. ____49____ This southern Chinese cuisine is a source of pride for many in Hong Kong. It also expresses their unique cultural identity. Raised in a family in which everyone worked in restaurants, Mak believes that the cuisine, which brings people together, is a vital part of Chinese culture. “A dim sum meal is friendly and casual,” he says. “For generations, it’s been a tradition for Chinese families to yum cha on holidays. ____50____ ” A. Family and friends gather to sip tea and enjoy a variety of dishes served in bamboo containers or on small plates. B. Dim sum, however, is not unique to Cantonese cuisine. C. To many people’s great joy, modern dim sum has integrated a variety of international flavors and ingredients. D. Indeed, the ritual of dim sum has seen some changes over the years. E. There’s a sense of sharing and companionship that comes with the food. F. Certainly, the tradition of dim sum has stayed mostly consistent throughout the years. IV. Summary Writing (10) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. How to Help Kids Manage Their Emotions Parents play an important role in teaching children self-regulation. At some point, they expect their kids to start managing their feelings as early as possible. Learning to regulate emotions, though, is a complex process. Emotion regulation calls for so many skills, including attention, planning, cognitive development, and language development, etc. Here are some science-tested strategies parents and caretakers can use to teach kids these important skills: The top priority is to start early. All kids benefit from teaching about feelings. Caregivers can start talking about feelings when their children are still babies. When communicating with your kid, you can point out when book or movie characters’ feel sad, happy, angry, or worried. Otherwise, infants who are quick to react and hard to calm down are more likely to have trouble managing emotions when they get older. Studies also show that children who have a secure and trusting relationship with their parents or caregivers have better emotion regulation as toddlers than those whose needs aren’t met by their caregivers. Being consistent and comforting will in essence help you develop a steady attachment to your child. For example, a toddler is learning to walk. One day, he falls and injures his knee. His mother immediately rushes to his side, gently picks him up, checks the wound, and comforts him. In this scenario, the mother provides physical comfort and a sense of security. In addition, kids tend to be modelled after parents’ behavior, so if one day you’re about to lose your temper when facing annoying situations, take a minute to breathe and calm down before you address the situation. You can walk into the other room and come back once you’re calmer in this case. You’re not avoiding the situation, but avoiding making an impulsive reaction. In conclusion, parents are children’s first teachers. It is their duty to help kids develop good emotional management skills. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.
