Lin Ying-ju, a Taiwanese businesswoman living in Finland, has found a special way to make soap. She uses used cooking oil to make handmade soap. Her company, JooSoap Studio, now sells soap to famous places, including a Michelin green star restaurant called Nolla.
Before moving to Finland to study at Aalto University, Lin learned how to make soap at Taichung Maple Eco-School in Taiwan. This school has taught environmental education since 1996. Twenty years ago, this kind of soap was not very common in Europe.
One day, Lin casually mentioned this technique during a university discussion. The enthusiastic response from her classmates encouraged her to turn the idea into a business. After graduation, a difficult job market and visa troubles stood in her way. So she used her special skills to create an unusual career path. JooSoap Studio started with classroom demonstration (演示) in 2011 and was officially registered (注册) in late 2014. Lin said that starting her own business gave her the freedom that regular jobs could not offer at that difficult time.
Adapting to Finnish culture has been key to her success. In Taiwan, big workshops can make thousands of soap bars a day. But Finnish people prefer a slower, more careful way of living — they like to make only what they need. So Lin changed her business to work seasonally, and this actually helped make her brand (品牌) stronger.
Recently, Lin visited Japan to connect with Sekken no Machi, the nonprofit organization that started this soap-making practice in Asia over forty years ago. This visit helped strengthen the international network of people who care about sustainable (可持续的) living.
4. Where did Lin first learn the skills of making soap?
A. At Aalto University. B. At Sekken no Machi.
C. At Taichung Maple Eco-School. D. At a Michelin green star restaurant.
5. Why did Lin start her business instead of finding a regular job?
A. She wanted to make more money.
B. Regular jobs had many limitations.
C. Her classmates asked her to do business.
D. Handmade soaps were not popular then.
6. What did Lin do recently to strengthen her international network?
A. She wrote a book about her career.
B. She visited Sekken no Machi in Japan.
C. She opened new workshops in Taiwan.
D. She produced thousands of soap bars daily.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. From Waste Oil to Handmade Soap B. History of Soap Making in Asia
C. Ways to Start a Business in Finland D. Turning Waste into Business Success
C
Cancer can appear almost anywhere in the body, but it is very rare in the heart. It's reported that less than 1% of cancers start in the heart, and disease that begins elsewhere seldom spreads to the blood-pumping organ. Considering the heart's constant motion and rich blood supply, this discovery has long puzzled scientists.
To find out, researchers did experiments on mice. One heart chamber (心室) of each mouse was made to stop pumping blood. Then they put a second heart in each mouse's neck. This second heart had less mechanical (机械的) stress than the original one. Thus, one heart continued its normal forceful beating while the other experienced gentler physical conditions.
Then, researchers put cancer cells (细胞) into both hearts. After two weeks, the cancer spread widely in the second heart. However, in the original, beating heart, the cancer hardly grew. The difference in cancer growth between the two hearts was noticeable. The team also did tests with man-made heart tissues. They found that cancer cells grew better in still tissues than in tissues that were made to beat like a real heart.
So what makes the beating heart so unfriendly to cancer? The researchers discovered that mechanical stress promoted a protein in cancer cells called Nesprin-2, which can change how DNA works and helps stop the cancer from growing. In other words, the movement created by a beating heart cause a natural anti-cancer defence to start working.
The research team is now looking into whether they can use similar mechanical stress in other parts of the body, like the skin or breast, to prevent cancer. They are also trying to find out whether heart diseases that put additional pressure on the heart, like high blood pressure, might offer extra protection against cancer.
8. What experimental operation did the researchers perform on the mice?
A. They stopped the beating of the entire heart.
B. They put cancer cells into the original heart only.
C. They removed the original heart and replaced it with a new one.
D. They disabled one chamber of the heart and put another in the neck.
9. What happened to the cancer cells put into the original beating heart?
A. They increased at a slow but steady rate.
B. They grew fast and spread to other tissues.
C. They showed little to no significant growth.
D. They were completely removed by the heart tissue.
10. What is the main purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To list possible causes of heart cancer.
B. To explain the heart's natural defence.
C. To describe the role of Nesprin-2 protein.
D. To introduce a new cancer treatment for humans.
11. What might the discovery lead to in the future according to the research team?
A. Using mechanical stress to treat heart diseases.
B. Confirming high blood pressure as a cancer cause.
C. Proving that cancer cannot grow in skin or breast.
D. Testing mechanical stress on other body parts to prevent cancer.
D
In 1986, a nuclear power plant (核电厂) in Chernobyl exploded. It was a terrible disaster. Radioactive (放射性的) material spread across the land. People had to leave their homes immediately, but the animals stayed. For decades, this area remained largely empty of humans.
Today, this land tells a surprising story. Paradoxically, the absence of humans has helped wildlife more than radiation has hurt it. Wolves, bears, and deer are now common where people once lived. Wolf populations in this area are seven times larger than those in nearby areas. Without people, nature has grown back. Forests have spread, and rivers have run cleaner.
However, the situation is not entirely good. Birds face problems from both radioactive heat and climate change. Scientists still disagree about the long-term effects of radiation on animals.
Scientists often visit the area to study wildlife. In 2016, biologist Pablo Burraco found that frogs living in badly polluted areas had darker skin than those living elsewhere. He believes that higher melanin(黑色素) levels may help protect the frogs from radiation. But not everyone agrees. A few researchers suggest that the darker skin could simply be a common change among frogs. Other scientists question whether the dark color is really an adaptation(适应) to radiation.
Similar debates exist for other species. Scientists have found genetic changes in feral dogs and bank voles. However, it is difficult to say whether these changes are caused by radiation or by other environmental factors. For example, differences in food, temperature, or living space might also play a role. The forest has also changed, creating entirely different habitats.
As one geographer puts it, Chernobyl’s ecological story is a mix of recovery, adaptation, and unsolved problems. The area is full of life, but its future remains unclear. Scientists continue to watch and learn, hoping to better understand how nature responds to disaster.
12. What could the underlined word “Paradoxically” in paragraph 2 be replaced by?
A. Unexpectedly. B. Sadly.
C. Possibly. D. Immediately.
13. Why does the author include information about both wolves and birds?
A. To give examples of both good and bad results.
B. To show wolves are more important than birds.
C. To argue that climate change is worse than radiation.
D. To prove that radiation hurts all animals the same way.
14. Which of the following best shows the author’s opinion about Chernobyl?
A. Nature has already recovered.
B. Radiation has only hurt wildlife.
C. Humans should move back to the area.
D. Wildlife is recovering but problems remain.
15. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Scientists agree on radiation’s long-term effects.
B. Wolves are more harmed by radiation than frogs.
C. Radiation has helped most animals in Chernobyl.
D. The effects of radiation on wildlife are still debated.

Renny was an eleven-year-old girl who liked putting things off. She often delayed her school assignments (任务). Her weekends were usually filled with dreams of hanging out with friends or staying at her grandparents’ house.
One weekend, Renny planned to go to her grandparents’ place. When her mother asked if she had any schoolwork to finish, Renny shook her head and said no, hiding the fact that she had a math assignment due soon. Her mother agreed to drop her off. Renny promised she would study later, but the weekend passed quickly with fun and relaxation.
By Monday, she had forgotten the assignment. When her teacher asked for it, Renny lied that she had left it at home. The teacher told her to bring it the next day. But when the next day came, she still had not done the work. She made up another excuse, saying her cousin had spilled (溢出) ink on it. The teacher raised an eyebrow doubtfully. Her friend asked how long her cousin was staying, and Renny answered, “Until Saturday,” she lied again.
That evening, her mother mentioned that the teacher had called about the missing assignment. Renny insisted (坚持说) she had already handed it in. The lies began to grow, each one demanding (要求) another to hold them up. Her friend later questioned her again, and Renny struggled to keep the story straight, nervously saying he had left early.
She started to feel anxious. At home, she noticed uncertainty in her mother’s voice. At school, her teacher’s eyes seemed sharper, and her friend grew cold. The small lie had grown into a web(网) she could not escape.

C
Cancer can appear almost anywhere in the body, but it is very rare in the heart. It's reported that less than 1% of cancers start in the heart, and disease that begins elsewhere seldom spreads to the blood-pumping organ. Considering the heart's constant motion and rich blood supply, this discovery has long puzzled scientists.
To find out, researchers did experiments on mice. One heart chamber (心室) of each mouse was made to stop pumping blood. Then they put a second heart in each mouse's neck. This second heart had less mechanical (机械的) stress than the original one. Thus, one heart continued its normal forceful beating while the other experienced gentler physical conditions.
Then, researchers put cancer cells (细胞) into both hearts. After two weeks, the cancer spread widely in the second heart. However, in the original, beating heart, the cancer hardly grew. The difference in cancer growth between the two hearts was noticeable. The team also did tests with man-made heart tissues. They found that cancer cells grew better in still tissues than in tissues that were made to beat like a real heart.
So what makes the beating heart so unfriendly to cancer? The researchers discovered that mechanical stress promoted a protein in cancer cells called Nesprin-2, which can change how DNA works and helps stop the cancer from growing. In other words, the movement created by a beating heart cause a natural anti-cancer defence to start working.
The research team is now looking into whether they can use similar mechanical stress in other parts of the body, like the skin or breast, to prevent cancer. They are also trying to find out whether heart diseases that put additional pressure on the heart, like high blood pressure, might offer extra protection against cancer.
8. What experimental operation did the researchers perform on the mice?
A. They stopped the beating of the entire heart.
B. They put cancer cells into the original heart only.
C. They removed the original heart and replaced it with a new one.
D. They disabled one chamber of the heart and put another in the neck.
9. What happened to the cancer cells put into the original beating heart?
A. They increased at a slow but steady rate.
B. They grew fast and spread to other tissues.
C. They showed little to no significant growth.
D. They were completely removed by the heart tissue.
10. What is the main purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To list possible causes of heart cancer.
B. To explain the heart's natural defence.
C. To describe the role of Nesprin-2 protein.
D. To introduce a new cancer treatment for humans.
11. What might the discovery lead to in the future according to the research team?
A. Using mechanical stress to treat heart diseases.
B. Confirming high blood pressure as a cancer cause.
C. Proving that cancer cannot grow in skin or breast.
D. Testing mechanical stress on other body parts to prevent cancer.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章提出心脏极少患癌的现象,介绍小鼠对照实验,解释心跳产生的机械压力会激活天然抗癌机制,并展望该机制在其他器官防癌的应用前景。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“One heart chamber(心室) of each mouse was made to stop pumping blood. Then they put a second heart in each mouse's neck.(每只老鼠的一个心室被停止泵血。然后他们在每只老鼠的颈部植入第二颗心脏)”可知,研究人员对老鼠采取的实验操作是使一个心室失去功能,并在颈部植入另一颗心脏。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, in the original, beating heart, the cancer hardly grew.(然而,在原来跳动的心脏中,癌症几乎没有生长)”可知,放入原来跳动心脏的癌细胞几乎没有明显生长。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers discovered that mechanical stress promoted a protein in cancer cells called Nesprin - 2, which can change how DNA works and helps stop the cancer from growing. In other words, the movement created by a beating heart cause a natural anti - cancer defence to start working.(研究人员发现,机械应力促进了癌细胞中一种名为Nesprin - 2的蛋白质,这种蛋白质可以改变DNA的工作方式,有助于阻止癌症生长。换句话说,心脏跳动产生的运动使一种天然抗癌防御机制开始发挥作用)”可知,主要解释了为什么跳动的心脏对癌症不友好,即心脏的天然防御机制。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The research team is now looking into whether they can use similar mechanical stress in other parts of the body, like the skin or breast, to prevent cancer.(研究团队现在正在研究是否可以在身体的其他部位,如皮肤或乳房,使用类似的机械应力来预防癌症)”可知,根据研究团队的说法,这一发现未来可能导致在身体其他部位测试机械应力以预防癌症。

In 1986, a nuclear power plant (核电厂) in Chernobyl exploded. It was a terrible disaster. Radioactive (放射性的) material spread across the land. People had to leave their homes immediately, but the animals stayed. For decades, this area remained largely empty of humans.
Today, this land tells a surprising story. Paradoxically, the absence of humans has helped wildlife more than radiation has hurt it. Wolves, bears, and deer are now common where people once lived. Wolf populations in this area are seven times larger than those in nearby areas. Without people, nature has grown back. Forests have spread, and rivers have run cleaner.
However, the situation is not entirely good. Birds face problems from both radioactive heat and climate change. Scientists still disagree about the long-term effects of radiation on animals.
Scientists often visit the area to study wildlife. In 2016, biologist Pablo Burraco found that frogs living in badly polluted areas had darker skin than those living elsewhere. He believes that higher melanin(黑色素) levels may help protect the frogs from radiation. But not everyone agrees. A few researchers suggest that the darker skin could simply be a common change among frogs. Other scientists question whether the dark color is really an adaptation(适应) to radiation.
Similar debates exist for other species. Scientists have found genetic changes in feral dogs and bank voles. However, it is difficult to say whether these changes are caused by radiation or by other environmental factors. For example, differences in food, temperature, or living space might also play a role. The forest has also changed, creating entirely different habitats.
As one geographer puts it, Chernobyl’s ecological story is a mix of recovery, adaptation, and unsolved problems. The area is full of life, but its future remains unclear. Scientists continue to watch and learn, hoping to better understand how nature responds to disaster.
12. What could the underlined word “Paradoxically” in paragraph 2 be replaced by?
A. Unexpectedly. B. Sadly.
C. Possibly. D. Immediately.
13. Why does the author include information about both wolves and birds?
A. To give examples of both good and bad results.
B. To show wolves are more important than birds.
C. To argue that climate change is worse than radiation.
D. To prove that radiation hurts all animals the same way.
14. Which of the following best shows the author’s opinion about Chernobyl?
A. Nature has already recovered.
B. Radiation has only hurt wildlife.
C. Humans should move back to the area.
D. Wildlife is recovering but problems remain.
15. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Scientists agree on radiation’s long-term effects.
B. Wolves are more harmed by radiation than frogs.
C. Radiation has helped most animals in Chernobyl.
D. The effects of radiation on wildlife are still debated.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了切尔诺贝利核事故后,野生动物在无人区繁衍生息的情况,以及科学家对辐射影响的不同看法。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Today, this land tells a surprising story. Paradoxically, the absence of humans has helped wildlife more than radiation has hurt it. Wolves, bears, and deer are now common where people once lived. (如今,这片土地讲述着一个令人惊讶的故事。Paradoxically,人类的消失对野生动物的帮助大于辐射对它们的伤害。狼、熊和鹿现在常见于人们曾居住过的地方)”可知,放射性灾害后野生动物反而繁盛,这是“出乎意料的”。故划线词意为“出乎意料地”,与“Unexpectedly”同义。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Wolf populations in this area are seven times larger than those in nearby areas. Without people, nature has grown back. Forests have spread, and rivers have run cleaner. (该地区的狼群数量是邻近地区的七倍。没有人类,大自然重新生长。森林扩张了,河流变得更清澈了)”以及第三段“However, the situation is not entirely good. Birds face problems from both radioactive heat and climate change. (然而,情况并非完全乐观。鸟类面临着放射性热量和气候变化带来的问题)”可知,作者同时提到狼(积极结果)和鸟类(消极结果)是为了举例说明好坏两方面的结果。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Wolves, bears, and deer are now common where people once lived. Wolf populations in this area are seven times larger than those in nearby areas. Without people, nature has grown back.(狼、熊和鹿现在常见于人们曾居住过的地方。该地区的狼群数量是邻近地区的七倍。没有了人类,大自然重新繁茂起来)”、第三段“However, the situation is not entirely good. Birds face problems from both radioactive heat and climate change. (然而,情况并非完全乐观。鸟类面临着放射性热量和气候变化带来的问题)”和最后一段“As one geographer puts it, Chernobyl’s ecological story is a mix of recovery, adaptation, and unsolved problems. (正如一位地理学家所说,切尔诺贝利的生态故事是恢复、适应和未解决问题的混合体)”可推知,作者认为在切尔诺贝利,野生动物正在恢复,但问题仍然存在。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“However, it is difficult to say whether these changes are caused by radiation or by other environmental factors. (然而,很难说这些变化是由辐射还是其他环境因素引起的)”和最后一段“The area is full of life, but its future remains unclear. Scientists continue to watch and learn, hoping to better understand how nature responds to disaster. (该地区充满了生机,但它的未来仍然不确定。科学家们继续观察和学习,希望能更好地理解大自然如何应对灾难)”可推知,辐射对野生动物的影响仍在争论中。

【导语】主要介绍了齐长城的修建时间、地理位置、历史特点以及其蕴含的历史文化价值。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:它修建于春秋时期。此处为谓语动词,主语It与build构成被动关系,动作发生在过去,要用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为was built。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它是中国最古老的古长城,拥有两千六百多年的历史。history为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示“一段历史”,为泛指,且history是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它绵延数千英里,几乎将山东省从北到南分隔开来。此处为非谓语动词作状语,run与逻辑主语it之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词running作状语,位于句首,首字母需大写。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:它绵延数千英里,几乎将山东省从北到南分隔开来。此处为固定搭配from...to...,意为“从……到……”,所以此处为介词to。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:济南市莱芜区的锦阳关和青石关是它最重要的两个关口。pass为可数名词,空前有数词two修饰,所以用复数形式passes。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:门前的车辙痕迹很难清晰看见。此处为固定结构be hard to do sth.,意为“做某事很困难”,所以此处用动词不定式to see。
【42题详解】
考查比较级。句意:齐长城耗时两百多年建成,比秦长城早三百多年。根据句中比较级标志词than可知,此处用比较级形式,early的比较级为earlier。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:这座古长城展现了两千五百年前人们的智慧与辛勤劳作。此处连接两个并列名词wisdom和hard work,表并列关系,所以用连词and。
【44题详解】

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1:
Care for Ourselves, Care for Our Health
As the saying goes, health is wealth. Without it, neither our studies nor our daily lives can truly flourish.
So how do we protect our health? To begin with, it’s good to eat a balanced diet — have meals on time and drink enough water each day. Also, we’d better take regular exercise, even something as simple as a 20-minute walk after dinner. Most importantly, don’t forget our mental well-being. We can relax by listening to music, chatting with friends, or keeping a diary. It’s no good staying up late or spending too much time on the phone.
Let’s start today. Small, consistent efforts add up to a healthier future.
Possible version 2:
Care for Ourselves, Care for Our Health
As the saying goes, health is wealth. Without a sound body and a peaceful mind, neither academic success nor everyday joy is truly attainable.
How, then, can we safeguard our health? First, we’d better adopt a wholesome diet — eat more fresh produce, cut back on junk food, and stay away from sugary drinks. Second, we’re supposed to get moving daily, whether it’s running, swimming, or playing ball games, for at least 30 minutes. Third, never underestimate the power of rest, for eight hours of sleep each night is a must for teenagers. Finally, tend to your mental health by managing stress, sharing feelings, and staying connected with others.
Now is the time to act. Even small daily changes can work wonders. After all, our health shapes our future.

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。
Renny was an eleven-year-old girl who liked putting things off. She often delayed her school assignments (任务). Her weekends were usually filled with dreams of hanging out with friends or staying at her grandparents’ house.
One weekend, Renny planned to go to her grandparents’ place. When her mother asked if she had any schoolwork to finish, Renny shook her head and said no, hiding the fact that she had a math assignment due soon. Her mother agreed to drop her off. Renny promised she would study later, but the weekend passed quickly with fun and relaxation.
By Monday, she had forgotten the assignment. When her teacher asked for it, Renny lied that she had left it at home. The teacher told her to bring it the next day. But when the next day came, she still had not done the work. She made up another excuse, saying her cousin had spilled (溢出) ink on it. The teacher raised an eyebrow doubtfully. Her friend asked how long her cousin was staying, and Renny answered, “Until Saturday,” she lied again.
That evening, her mother mentioned that the teacher had called about the missing assignment. Renny insisted (坚持说) she had already handed it in. The lies began to grow, each one demanding (要求) another to hold them up. Her friend later questioned her again, and Renny struggled to keep the story straight, nervously saying he had left early.
She started to feel anxious. At home, she noticed uncertainty in her mother’s voice. At school, her teacher’s eyes seemed sharper, and her friend grew cold. The small lie had grown into a web(网) she could not escape.

【答案】范文
Then one day, the truth came out. Renny’ s mother found the unfinished math assignment in her schoolbag. She sat down beside Renny and asked calmly, “Is there something you want to tell me?” Renny’s face turned red. She hesitated for a while, not daring to meet her mom’s sharp eyes. Unable to lie anymore, she finally admitted everything — the forgotten homework, the imaginary cousin, and all the excuses. Hearing this, her mother pulled her into a hug, saying gently, “You know what you should do tomorrow, honey.”
After admitting everything, Renny felt a mix of shame and relief. She felt her heart sink but also strangely lighter. The next day, she apologized sincerely to her teacher and completed the assignment honestly. She promised to the teacher and her friend that such things would never happen again. They both forgave her. Renny learned that lies only made things worse, while telling the truth, though hard at first, brought real peace. From then on, whenever she wanted to put off a task, she remembered the web of lies she had once woven — and chose to be honest instead.
