A.Travel Full of Tourist Attractions B.Food as a Bridge Between Cultures C.A Career Change from Chef to TV Host D.The Power of Curiosity in Shaping a Life c A long-overlooked immune organ,the thymus ()proves to be a hidden indicator of the length of human life,disease risk and cancer treatment outcomes,according to two studies published in Nature by researchers from Mass General Brigham. For decades,scientists held a fixed belief:the small chest organ gradually gets smaller after puberty (and stops playing a vital role in adult health,for it produces fewer new T cells,immune cells guarding against infections and illnesses.Thus,the thymus was rarely included in large-scale population research. To open new"avenues"for related medical study,the team applied AI technology to analyze routine CT scans from over 27,500 adults.They measured the thymus's size and structure to create a thymic health score.Data showed adults with higher scores gained striking health benefits:roughly 50%lower all-cause death risk,63%lower heart and blood vessel death risk and 36%reduced lung cancer risk,even after excluding the interference of age and other health conditions.Researchers explained poor thymic health cuts T-cell diversity,weakening the immune system's ability to spot cancer or other diseases.Besides,smoking,overweight and chronic inflammation(慢性炎症)are confirmed to damage thymic health. Another separate experiment tracked more than 1,200 cancer patients receiving immune treatment.Patients with healthier thymuses had a 37lower cancer progression risk and 44 lower death risk,which indicates the thymus state largely affects the effect of modern cancer immune treatment and opens new avenues for cancer treatment. The scientists emphasize that additional studies will be needed to confirm the results.They also note that the imaging technique used to measure thymic health is not yet ready for routine use in clinical practice.Though unhealthy lifestyles connect with poor thymus,the studies fail to confirm whether adjusting these habits can recover thymic function.Further research will explore hidden factors affecting thymic health. 28.What is the previous opinion about the thymus? A.It works well for adults all the time. B.It can cure different kinds of cancers. C.It is widely checked in daily hospital tests. D.It becomes less important for adults after puberty. 29.What can we learn from paragraph 3? A.CT scans are used to cure heart and lung diseases directly. B.Age difference is the only cause of bad thymic health conditions C.High thymic health scores lower risks of several serious illnesses. D.People with lower scores have no chance to suffer from lung cancer. 2025一2026学年下学期期末考试高一英语第5页共10页 30.What does the underlined word "avenues"in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A.City roads. B.Patient groups. C.Medical tools. D.Research approaches. 31.What is the text mainly about? A.The development of cancer treatment in recent years. B.How AI helps doctors check different kinds of illnesses. C.New studies on the little-known thymus and its health value. D.Several useful ways to prevent heart disease and lung cancer. D A sea cow glides through clear,warm spring water in Florida.A grizzly bear catches a juicy fish in Yellowstone National Park.A bald eagle soars near the U.S.Capitol in Washington, D.C. A little over 50 years ago,these species were among the first group of animals that received protection from the federal government in the United States.Once nearly extinct,all three species bounced back thanks to a law called the Endangered Species Act. Uncontrolled hunting and habitat destruction drove many wildlife toward extinction.Early laws failed to stop species decline,so stricter new legislation (was needed.Then in 1969, an oil machine at sea off the coast of California burst,creating the worst oil spill in the United States at the time.It dumped three million gallons of oil into the ocean,covered the beaches in slick,black oil and killed thousands of animals.Public anger pushed President Nixon to promote the official passage of the Endangered Species Act in 1973. The act officially defined endangered species,protected plants and invertebrates(无脊椎s动 for the first time,restricted hunting listed animals,provided saving funds and safeguarded critical animal habitats.Around 99 percent of listed species are saved from extinction,and more than 200 species would have disappeared without this legislation. The law still has some critics:They don't like that it limits how land can be used,which some people think hurts businesses and private landowners.They also debate what should be considered an animal's habitat.For example,gray wolves once wandered across almost all of North America,but today they live in a small part of that range.The wolves'population is stable,but should they be reintroduced to their historic homeland? Though facing lasting disagreement from critics,the Endangered Species Act is still widely applied in wildlife protection nationwide.It stays a key legal tool to guard vulnerable wild species up to now. 32.What is the purpose of listing three animals in paragraph 1? A.To display wild animals'different habitats. B.To warn people of the risks of wildlife extinction. C.To introduce the topic of the Endangered Species Act. D.To show the achievements of environmental protection. 33.What led to the passage of the Endangered Species Act in 1973? A.The fall of local businesses. B.People's worry about land use. C.The extinction of many plants. D.Public dissatisfaction over the oil spill. onc出r下出扣w- ☆·花语第6页共10页 34.What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A.The law protects animals as well as plants. B.The law failed to save more than 200 species. C.The law safeguards all species from extinction. D.The law bans people from raising wild animals. 35.Why does the author mention gray wolves in paragraph 5? A.To explain disagreements on animal habitat definition. B.To argue that stable wolf numbers mean protection can end. C.To show wolves'living range has recovered to its original size. D.To suggest moving all wolves back to their historic homeland. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 How to travel alone without feeling lonely The solo (travel market is rising steadily,and more people are planning to take solo trips in the near future.While this kind of journey offers great freedom,many travelers also worry about feeling lonely along the way.36 Many solo travelers end up forming deep, meaningful friendships with people they meet on the road.Here are practical tips to help you connect with others and avoid loneliness during your solo travel.
