I used to have a motorcycle (摩托车). One Sunday in summer, my 10-year-old daughter and I went for a ride in the countryside. We took the back roads to a park where the view was fantastic! The wind was strong enough to give more pleasure to riding the motorcycle.
Halfway through the park, the motorcycle was out of gas and stopped working, leaving my daughter and me, 20 miles from home, hopeless.
Along came a motorcyclist. He slowed, got off his motorcycle and asked what the problem was. He had long hair and didn’t look kind. Some people would have looked at him and said, “Oh, one of those unpleasant people.” But I’ve known many people like him, both good and bad, so I hoped that he was among the good ones.
When I told him about our trouble, he offered to help. I rode his motorcycle with my daughter and he pushed my motorcycle. Through hard work, we finally reached a small town next to the park.
On those days, most gas stations were closed on Sunday. They included the station in the town. My new friend jumped on his motorcycle to search for an open gas station. Before long, he was back with some gas for my motorcycle, and we were on our way again! Without accepting my payment for the gas he’d bought for us, he just rode away.

Have you ever savored the convenience of takeout? In today’s fast-paced world, busy students and professionals increasingly rely on delivered meals packed in plastic containers — quick fixes for lunch breaks or late-night cravings.
However, a new Chinese study reveals that frequent use of plastic takeout containers may elevate congestive heart failure risk by affecting gut (肠道) bacteria and causing inflammation (炎症). The research combines human population analysis and animal experiments to investigate how plastic chemicals impact heart health.
The study used two main steps to explore the link between plastic containers and heart disease. First, researchers checked the plastic takeout container use of over 3,000 people in China and compared it to their heart health records. They found that people who frequently used plastic containers had a higher risk of heart failure. Next, they tested this connection on rats. Scientists prepared water by boiling it in plastic containers for 1, 5, or 15 minutes to imitate real-life situation like making hot drinks. When plastic is heated, it gives off tiny harmful particles — previous studies found microwaved plastic containers can give off millions of these particles per square centimeter. The rats drank this contaminated water for months. By examining the rats’ waste, the researchers discovered changes in gut bacteria and increased chemicals related to inflammation and damage to rats’ heart tissues. Surprisingly, heating the containers for 1 minute or 15 minutes caused no difference in harm severity.
While the study didn’t identify exactly which chemicals in plastic caused the problems, it highlighted known harmful substances like BPA, which are common in food packaging and linked to cancer and other health issues. This research emphasizes the dangers of heated plastic and its potential impact on heart health.
This study adds urgency to reducing plastic food contact. Public health experts recommend avoiding microwaving plastics, using glass or stainless-steel alternatives, and transferring takeout to non-plastic containers. Though individual avoidance remains challenging, the findings highlight systemic needs for safer food packaging policies. With over 20,000 chemicals in plastics — many untested for long-term effects, researchers call for stricter industry regulations to protect circulatory health.
8. Why does the author mention the takeout at the beginning?
A. To describe a phenomenon.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To show the benefits of takeout.
D. To promote a kind of life style.
9. According to the research findings, which is NOT related to heart failure risks?
A. The length of plastic’s heating time.
B. The frequency of exposure to plastic.
C. The materials of the containers.
D. The temperature of the plastic containers.
10. What does the underlined word “contaminated” mean?
A. clean. B. cold.
C. warm. D. polluted.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Additional evidence for the research results.
B. Practical guidance of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A potential limitation of the research process.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍中国新研究,揭示频繁使用塑料外卖盒的心脏健康风险,并给出相关防护建议与行业管控呼吁。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever savored the convenience of takeout? In today’s fast-paced world, busy students and professionals increasingly rely on delivered meals packed in plastic containers — quick fixes for lunch breaks or late-night cravings.(你是否曾体验过外卖的便利?在当今快节奏的世界里,忙碌的学生和职场人士越来越依赖塑料盒装的外卖,以此快速解决午休或深夜的饮食需求)”以及第二段“However, a new Chinese study reveals that frequent use of plastic takeout containers may elevate congestive heart failure risk by affecting gut (肠道) bacteria and causing inflammation (炎症).(然而,中国一项新研究表明,频繁使用塑料外卖盒可能会通过影响肠道细菌、引发炎症,提升充血性心力衰竭的风险)”可知,文章开篇介绍外卖塑料盒的普遍使用现象,是为了引出塑料外卖盒危害健康的核心话题。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Surprisingly, heating the containers for 1 minute or 15 minutes caused no difference in harm severity.(令人惊讶的是,将餐盒加热1分钟或15分钟,其危害程度没有区别)”可知,塑料的加热时长与心力衰竭风险无关。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“When plastic is heated, it gives off tiny harmful particles — previous studies found microwaved plastic containers can give off millions of these particles per square centimeter. The rats drank this contaminated water for months.(塑料受热时会释放微小的有害颗粒——此前研究发现,微波加热的塑料餐盒每平方厘米可释放数百万此类颗粒。老鼠连续数月饮用这种contaminated水)”可知,水中含有塑料释放的有害颗粒,水质遭到污染,由此可知,contaminated意为“被污染的”,与polluted同义。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Public health experts recommend avoiding microwaving plastics, using glass or stainless-steel alternatives, and transferring takeout to non-plastic containers.(公共卫生专家建议避免微波加热塑料制品、改用玻璃或不锈钢容器、将外卖转移至非塑料容器盛放)”以及“researchers call for stricter industry regulations to protect circulatory health.(研究人员呼吁推行更严格的行业监管,以保护人体循环系统健康)”可知,本段主要讲述该研究成果带来的实际防护建议与行业整改指导。

When Kurt Benirschke started collecting skin samples (样品) from endangered animals in 1972, he didn’t have a firm plan on what to do with them. As a researcher at the University of California San Diego, he believed that one day these samples would be used to save these animals. A few years later, he moved his collection to the San Diego Zoo, and called it the Frozen Zoo.
For a long time, it was the only project of its kind; however, in recent years, similar conservation efforts have spread globally, and tools that Benirschke didn’t have are now available. Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank (冷冻库), holding samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species, in the hope that one day science can bring them back as a species.
The Frozen Zoo’s advanced technology is the key to its success in saving species from extinction. By using cryopreservation techniques, the zoo can store cells and tissues from endangered animals. The stored genetic material can be used for research, breeding (繁殖) programs, and even cloning or genetic engineering to restore endangered species one day in the future.
By protecting the genetic heritage of endangered animals, the Frozen Zoo provides hope for the survival of species that would otherwise be at risk of dying out, and the preservation of Earth’s precious biodiversity. It has inspired the establishment of similar cryobanks worldwide, expanding efforts to conserve endangered species. These cryobanks contribute to the global network of genetic resources, improving cooperation and knowledge exchange. By demonstrating the potential of technology in the preservation of biodiversity, the Frozen Zoo serves as a powerful tool in raising awareness and driving change.
The Frozen Zoo is like a time capsule, preserving the genetic heritage of endangered species for future generations. It reminds us about the importance of conservation and offers a window into a world that could otherwise be lost forever.
12. What do we know about the Frozen Zoo?
A. It is the world’s oldest and largest animal cryobank.
B. It started with a detailed plan led by Kurt Benirschke.
C. It is a project to explore the origin of animal species.
D. It was established to protect animals in the San Diego Zoo.
13. How does the Frozen Zoo save species from extinction?
A. By enlarging their natural habitats.
B. By raising their survival rate with genetic technology.
C. By keeping their genetic material for further research.
D. By improving breeding techniques to increase their population.
14. Which of the following is Not the influence of the Frozen Zoo?
A. It raises people’s awareness of wildlife protection.
B. It has encouraged the establishment of more crybanks worldwide.
C. It has restored some extinct animals by cloning.
D. It promotes the global network of genetic resources.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the Frozen Zoo?
A. Critical B. Supportive C. Neutral D. Indifferent
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】

Melanie’s parents never knew of the great dancing skills their daughter had until one day, they saw the little girl dancing with the beautiful steps of a ballerina.

“We must give her ballet lessons to help her improve her skills,” her father said.
The following day, Melanie’s parents took her to a local dance training school. The teacher asked Melanie to dance. The little girl was happy and showed some of her favorite dance steps. However, the teacher didn’t seem interested in her performance.
“That’s OK. You can leave now!”the teacher said.
Melanie was shocked to hear this. So were her parents. They couldn’t believe their ears.
“The girl is common. She does not have the possibility to become a ballerina, ”the dance teacher said. “Don’t let her waste her time dreaming of becoming a dancer.”
Disappointed, Melanie and her parents returned home. Tears rolled down Melanie’s face. Her dreams were broken within a matter of minutes. Without confidence, Melanie never attempted to dance again. She completed her studies and went on to become a teacher in school.Life was good and she kept herself busy with family and work.

I used to have a motorcycle (摩托车). One Sunday in summer, my 10-year-old daughter and I went for a ride in the countryside. We took the back roads to a park where the view was fantastic! The wind was strong enough to give more pleasure to riding the motorcycle.
Halfway through the park, the motorcycle was out of gas and stopped working, leaving my daughter and me, 20 miles from home, hopeless.
Along came a motorcyclist. He slowed, got off his motorcycle and asked what the problem was. He had long hair and didn’t look kind. Some people would have looked at him and said, “Oh, one of those unpleasant people.” But I’ve known many people like him, both good and bad, so I hoped that he was among the good ones.
When I told him about our trouble, he offered to help. I rode his motorcycle with my daughter and he pushed my motorcycle. Through hard work, we finally reached a small town next to the park.
On those days, most gas stations were closed on Sunday. They included the station in the town. My new friend jumped on his motorcycle to search for an open gas station. Before long, he was back with some gas for my motorcycle, and we were on our way again! Without accepting my payment for the gas he’d bought for us, he just rode away.

Have you ever savored the convenience of takeout? In today’s fast-paced world, busy students and professionals increasingly rely on delivered meals packed in plastic containers — quick fixes for lunch breaks or late-night cravings.
However, a new Chinese study reveals that frequent use of plastic takeout containers may elevate congestive heart failure risk by affecting gut (肠道) bacteria and causing inflammation (炎症). The research combines human population analysis and animal experiments to investigate how plastic chemicals impact heart health.
The study used two main steps to explore the link between plastic containers and heart disease. First, researchers checked the plastic takeout container use of over 3,000 people in China and compared it to their heart health records. They found that people who frequently used plastic containers had a higher risk of heart failure. Next, they tested this connection on rats. Scientists prepared water by boiling it in plastic containers for 1, 5, or 15 minutes to imitate real-life situation like making hot drinks. When plastic is heated, it gives off tiny harmful particles — previous studies found microwaved plastic containers can give off millions of these particles per square centimeter. The rats drank this contaminated water for months. By examining the rats’ waste, the researchers discovered changes in gut bacteria and increased chemicals related to inflammation and damage to rats’ heart tissues. Surprisingly, heating the containers for 1 minute or 15 minutes caused no difference in harm severity.
While the study didn’t identify exactly which chemicals in plastic caused the problems, it highlighted known harmful substances like BPA, which are common in food packaging and linked to cancer and other health issues. This research emphasizes the dangers of heated plastic and its potential impact on heart health.
This study adds urgency to reducing plastic food contact. Public health experts recommend avoiding microwaving plastics, using glass or stainless-steel alternatives, and transferring takeout to non-plastic containers. Though individual avoidance remains challenging, the findings highlight systemic needs for safer food packaging policies. With over 20,000 chemicals in plastics — many untested for long-term effects, researchers call for stricter industry regulations to protect circulatory health.
8. Why does the author mention the takeout at the beginning?
A. To describe a phenomenon.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To show the benefits of takeout.
D. To promote a kind of life style.
9. According to the research findings, which is NOT related to heart failure risks?
A. The length of plastic’s heating time.
B. The frequency of exposure to plastic.
C. The materials of the containers.
D. The temperature of the plastic containers.
10. What does the underlined word “contaminated” mean?
A. clean. B. cold.
C. warm. D. polluted.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Additional evidence for the research results.
B. Practical guidance of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A potential limitation of the research process.
D
When Kurt Benirschke started collecting skin samples (样品) from endangered animals in 1972, he didn’t have a firm plan on what to do with them. As a researcher at the University of California San Diego, he believed that one day these samples would be used to save these animals. A few years later, he moved his collection to the San Diego Zoo, and called it the Frozen Zoo.
For a long time, it was the only project of its kind; however, in recent years, similar conservation efforts have spread globally, and tools that Benirschke didn’t have are now available. Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank (冷冻库), holding samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species, in the hope that one day science can bring them back as a species.
The Frozen Zoo’s advanced technology is the key to its success in saving species from extinction. By using cryopreservation techniques, the zoo can store cells and tissues from endangered animals. The stored genetic material can be used for research, breeding (繁殖) programs, and even cloning or genetic engineering to restore endangered species one day in the future.
By protecting the genetic heritage of endangered animals, the Frozen Zoo provides hope for the survival of species that would otherwise be at risk of dying out, and the preservation of Earth’s precious biodiversity. It has inspired the establishment of similar cryobanks worldwide, expanding efforts to conserve endangered species. These cryobanks contribute to the global network of genetic resources, improving cooperation and knowledge exchange. By demonstrating the potential of technology in the preservation of biodiversity, the Frozen Zoo serves as a powerful tool in raising awareness and driving change.
The Frozen Zoo is like a time capsule, preserving the genetic heritage of endangered species for future generations. It reminds us about the importance of conservation and offers a window into a world that could otherwise be lost forever.

“We must give her ballet lessons to help her improve her skills,” her father said.
The following day, Melanie’s parents took her to a local dance training school. The teacher asked Melanie to dance. The little girl was happy and showed some of her favorite dance steps. However, the teacher didn’t seem interested in her performance.
“That’s OK. You can leave now!”the teacher said.
Melanie was shocked to hear this. So were her parents. They couldn’t believe their ears.
