B
In an age shaped by social media and self-promotion, people admire a visible version of success, the kind that takes center stage and seeks constant applause. For an extended period, I was a willing participant in this illusion (错觉), measuring my own worth by the volume of recognition I received from others, only to feel disappointed when my quiet contributions went unnoticed.
My perspective on value and success shifted greatly during my volunteer time at a small neighborhood library. It was a quiet place with calm yet purposeful daily activities, where the staff worked diligently without expectation of praise or recognition. My responsibilities there were modest and simple: reshelving books, helping a student find a suitable novel, or keeping the reading room quiet and peaceful for everyone. These ordinary and unsung routines, which were easily overlooked by most people, first struck me as trifling, totally lacking the applause and attention I had starved for.
Over time, however, I began to see deeper value in these simple tasks. An elderly man came to the library every week, calling it his only shelter of peace in a noisy world. A small group of young locals depended on its quiet and comfortable atmosphere to take a break from their busy lives. I gradually came to realize that the library’s true significance lay not in great public recognition or praise, but in the steady, silent dedication (奉献) of its staff that made it a warm haven (港湾) for the whole community.
Eventually, I learned that true competence operates quietly. It lies in the work done without an audience: the small, consistent efforts that make life easier for others. Success does not need a spotlight to be real. The most meaningful contributions are often made without expecting applause, yet they are profoundly valuable.
4. What did the author previously believe?
A. Silent work deserved respect. B. Success hid in the dark.
C. Visible efforts earned reputation. D. Recognition measured worth.
5. What does the underlined word “trifling” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Effortless. B. Challenging. C. Insignificant. D. Complicated.
6. How does the author illustrate the importance of the library in paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples. B. By making contrast.
C. By listing statistics. D. By quoting readers.
7. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To compare different types of success.
B. To show the value of quiet devotion.
C. To describe the experience at a library.
D. To advocate seeking public recognition.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了作者从前认同靠外界认可衡量自我价值、追捧博人眼球的显性成功,后在社区图书馆做志愿者的经历中深受触动,领悟到不求掌声的默默奉献才更有深层价值与真正意义。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“For an extended period, I was a willing participant in this illusion(错觉), measuring my own worth by the volume of recognition I received from others (长期以来,我心甘情愿深陷这种错觉之中,依靠他人的认可度来衡量自我价值)” 可知,作者从前认为外界的认可可以衡量个人价值。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文第二段“These ordinary and unsung routines, which were easily overlooked by most people, first struck me as trifling, totally lacking the applause and attention I had starved for. (这些不被人知晓的日常琐事很容易被大多数人忽视,起初我认为这些事情trifling,完全没有我渴望的掌声与关注。)” 可知,这些不被人知晓的日常琐事很容易被大多数人忽视,所以trifling表示这些事情是无意义的,不会被人注意的,故表示“微不足道、无意义的”。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第三段“An elderly man came to the library every week, calling it his only shelter of peace in a noisy world. A small group of young locals depended on its quiet and comfortable atmosphere to take a break from their busy lives. (一位老人每周都会来到图书馆,并称这里是喧嚣世界里唯一的安宁港湾。当地一群年轻人依靠图书馆安静舒适的环境,从忙碌的生活中抽身休憩。)” 可知,作者通过列举老人和当地年轻人的事例,说明图书馆的重要意义。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Eventually, I learned that true competence operates quietly. It lies in the work done without an audience: the small, consistent efforts that make life easier for others. (最终我明白,真正的能力往往无声彰显。它藏在无人注视的付出里,藏在那些默默坚持、为他人带去便利的微小努力中。)” 可知,文章旨在阐述默默奉献的价值与意义。

To live a long and healthy life, it’s not enough to just eat well and exercise regularly. You must also nurture your psychological well-being. Let’s start with relationships.
The Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest in-depth study of human life ever done, has followed participants for decades. It shows that high-quality relationships are key predictors of long-life health and well-being. For example, men with more positive social relationships are more involved in their community and have a lower risk of depression and better cognition in later life.
“People we’re close to help us find solutions to problems and control difficult emotions,” says Schultz, one of the researchers. Just being near people calms the body in important ways. This is because close relationships positively affect our hormones (荷尔蒙), immune systems and even how our genes are expressed.
When people are in good relationships, their wounds heal more quickly. Studies show that a stronger immune system is linked to having more friends, suggesting that sociability can help make the immune system stronger and more youthful. Having close friendships also appears to change the activity of genes responsible for aging and several systems that help our bodies cope with stress.
Loneliness is bad for our health. Its emotional pain can produce the same stress response as a long-term medical condition and lead to swelling and reduced immunity.
To tackle loneliness, clinical psychologist Katherine Schaffer recommends two steps: find a way to contribute to someone else’s life and let others contribute to yours. “Letting people do the same for you can have a great impact on how you connect with others and your attitude to loneliness,” she says.
8. What does the Harvard Study reveal about sound relationships?
A. They can cure depression in old age. B. Their benefits are more noticeable in men.
C. Better health outcomes are linked to them. D. They are the most important factors for a long life.
9. According to paragraph 4, what is a benefit of good friendships?
A. They can prevent the process of aging.
B. They can make the immune system stronger.
C. They reduce stress by changing stress-related genes.
D. They help wounds heal faster by boosting hormone levels.
10. What does Katherine Schaffer suggest to handle loneliness?
A. Focusing on contributing to others. B. Engaging in mutual support with others.
C. Avoiding any dependence on other people. D. Accepting others’ contributions unconditionally.
11. What should be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Power of Relationships B. The Harm of Loneliness and Stress
C. The Importance of Diet and Exercise D. The Harvard Study on Adult Development
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章基于哈佛成人发展研究,介绍了高质量人际关系对健康长寿的关键作用,并提出了通过双向支持应对孤独的具体建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It shows that high-quality relationships are key predictors of long-life health and well-being. (它表明,高质量的人际关系是长寿健康和幸福感的关键预测因素。)”可知,哈佛研究揭示,良好的健康结果与健全的人际关系相关。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Studies show that a stronger immune system is linked to having more friends, suggesting that sociability can help make the immune system stronger and more youthful. (研究表明,更强的免疫系统与拥有更多朋友相关,这表明社交有助于增强免疫系统并使其更年轻。)”可知,良好的友谊能使免疫系统更强健。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To tackle loneliness, clinical psychologist Katherine Schaffer recommends two steps: find a way to contribute to someone else’s life and let others contribute to yours. (为解决孤独问题,临床心理学家Katherine Schaffer提出了两个建议:一是找到一种方式为他人的生活做出贡献,二是让他人也为你的生活做出贡献。)”可知,她建议通过专注于为他人做出贡献来应对孤独。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“To live a long and healthy life, it’s not enough to just eat well and exercise regularly. You must also nurture your psychological well-being. Let’s start with relationships. (要过上长寿且健康的生活,仅仅吃得健康、定期锻炼是不够的。你还需要关注自己的心理健康。让我们先从人际关系谈起。)”可知,文章基于哈佛成人发展研究,介绍了高质量人际关系对健康长寿的关键作用,包括改善心理健康、增强免疫系统、减缓衰老,并提出了通过双向支持应对孤独的具体建议。因此,最适合本文的标题是“人际关系的力量”。
D
Eating from plastic takeout containers may significantly increase the chance of heart failure, a new study finds, and researchers suspect they have identified the reasons.
The novel study from Chinese researchers adds to growing evidence of the risks associated with eating from plastic, and builds on previous evidence linking plastic chemicals to heart disease. The authors used a two-part method, first looking into how often over 3,000 people in China ate from plastic takeout containers, and whether they had heart disease.
They then exposed rats to plastic chemicals in water that was boiled and poured into carryout containers to collect chemicals. Plastic can contain any of about 20,000 chemicals, and many of them, such as BPA, phthalates (邻苯二甲酸盐) and PFAS, present health risks. The chemicals are often found in food and food packaging, and are linked to a range of problems from cancer to reproductive harm. They put boiling water in the containers for one, five or 15 minutes because plastic chemicals come out at much higher rates when hot contents are placed in containers.
The authors then gave rats the water polluted with chemicals from plastic to drink for several months, then analyzed the gut (肠道) bacteria and waste products in the feces. It found notable changes. “It showed that swallowing these chemicals changed the gut environment, affected gut bacteria composition, and changed gut bacteria waste products, particularly those linked to inflammation (炎症),” the authors wrote. They then checked the rats’ heart muscle tissue and found it had been damaged. The study did not find a significant difference in the changes and damage among rats that were exposed to water that had been in contact with plastic for one minute versus five or fifteen.
The study does not make suggestions on how consumers can protect themselves. But public health supporters say to avoid microwaving or adding hot food to plastic containers at home, or cooking anything in plastic. Replacing plastic tools at home with glass, wood or stainless steel choices is also wise.
12. What is the key conclusion of the Chinese study?
A. Plastic containers change food flavour. B. Chemicals in plastics may harm health.
C. Hot liquids damage plastic structure. D. Gut bacteria help cause heart disease.
13. Why did researchers test with boiling water?
A. To copy real food packaging situations. B. To compare different plastic types.
C. To clean the containers thoroughly. D. To test plastic containers’ durability.
14. What did the study find about rats exposed to plastic chemicals?
A. Their gut bacteria remained normal. B. Their waste products didn’t change.
C. Effects varied with exposure time. D. Their heart tissue showed damage.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To explain how gut bacteria affect heart function.
B. To compare different types of food packaging materials.
C. To introduce new plastic technologies in food preservation.
D. To warn about health risks from certain food containers.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】

Keep Skin Cancer at Bay
“You have skin cancer.” No one wants to hear such scary words. And unfortunately, the number of those who hear them just keeps rising. ____16____ But the good news is that it’s also one of the easiest to prevent. By adopting a few healthy habits and making smart choices, people can reduce their risk of developing skin cancer.
One of the most important ways is to limit your exposure to UV rays from the sun. UV rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so it’s best to stay indoors or in the shade during these hours. ____17____ Sunglasses that block UV rays are also a must. These measures can shelter you from harmful radiation and prevent sunburn, which is a major risk factor for skin cancer.
Using sunscreen is another important way to protect your skin. ____18____ It should protect against both kinds of UV rays that cause damage to your skin. Apply it to all exposed skin, including your face, neck, ears and hands, even on cloudy days. Put it on every two hours or more often if you’re swimming or sweating.
____19____ It is vital to examine your skin once a month for spots, moles (痣) or growths. Be on the lookout for changes in size, shape or colour. Watch for moles that have one side that is different from the other. Look at the size, too. ____20____
Healthy skin is beautiful. Protecting it is one of the best things you can do.
A. We should protect our skin from the strong sun.
B. A healthy diet can help improve your skin condition.
C. If you have to be in the sun, wear protective clothing.
D. Choose a type with a sun protection factor of at least 30.
E. Regular skin checks are also key in the prevention of skin cancer.
F. The WHO estimates global cancer rates will increase by 77 percent by 2050.

【导语】文章主要介绍了预防皮肤癌的有效方法。
【16题详解】
上文“And unfortunately, the number of those who hear them just keeps rising.(而不幸的是,听到这句话的人数还在持续攀升。)”提到患皮肤癌的人数持续上升,下文“But the good news is that it’s also one of the easiest to prevent.(但好消息是,皮肤癌也是最易预防的癌症之一。)”转折说好消息是它也最容易预防,空处需要承接“患病人数增加”这一负面现状。F 项“世界卫生组织预计到2050年全球癌症发病率将增加77%。”用数据具体说明皮肤癌等癌症的增长趋势,与上文“人数不断上升” 紧密衔接。
【17题详解】
根据上文“One of the most important ways is to limit your exposure to UV rays from the sun. UV rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so it’s best to stay indoors or in the shade during these hours. (最重要的方法之一,就是减少暴露在太阳紫外线辐射下的时间。上午10点至下午 4 点是紫外线最强的时段,因此这段时间最好待在室内或阴凉处。)”可知,本段核心是减少紫外线照射,上文建议上午10点到下午4点尽量待在室内或阴凉处,下文“Sunglasses that block UV rays are also a must.(能阻挡紫外线的太阳镜也是必备品。)”提到 “防紫外线太阳镜也是必需品”,空处应补充在户外时的防晒措施。C 项“如果必须待在阳光下,要穿防晒衣物。”是待在户外时的防晒做法,与前后防晒措施形成并列逻辑。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Using sunscreen is another important way to protect your skin.(涂抹防晒霜是保护皮肤的另一重要方式。)”可知,本段主题是使用防晒霜,前句提出要涂防晒霜,下文“It should protect against both kinds of UV rays that cause damage to your skin.(它应能同时抵御两种损伤皮肤的紫外线。)”说明防晒霜需阻挡两种伤害皮肤的紫外线,空格处应介绍防晒霜的选择标准。D项“选择防晒系数至少为30的防晒霜。”具体说明了防晒霜的挑选要求,衔接后文防晒霜的防护效果。
【19题详解】
空格位于段首,为段落主旨句。下文“It is vital to examine your skin once a month for spots, moles (痣) or growths. Be on the lookout for changes in size, shape or colour. Watch for moles that have one side that is different from the other. Look at the size, too.(每月自查一次皮肤上的斑点、痣或增生组织至关重要。留意它们在大小、形状或颜色上的变化,警惕那些两侧不对称的痣,同时也要关注其大小。)”重点讲“每月检查皮肤斑点、痣、增生,观察其大小、形状、颜色变化”,核心是皮肤自检。E 项“定期检查皮肤也是预防皮肤癌的关键。”直接概括本段核心内容,总领下文。
【20题详解】
上文“Be on the lookout for changes in size, shape or colour. Watch for moles that have one side that is different from the other. Look at the size, too(留意它们在大小、形状或颜色上的变化,警惕那些两侧不对称的痣,同时也要关注其大小。)”详细说明观察痣的大小、形状、对称性等,空处应给出发现异常后的应对方法。G 项“如果一颗痣比铅笔橡皮大或外观发生变化,立即咨询皮肤科医生。”承接上文对痣的观察,给出具体处理建议。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了位于古丝绸之路要道的敦煌,其历史上的跨文化交流价值、莫高窟遗产,以及如今利用现代技术传承文化并兼顾环境保护的做法。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:它是几个世纪以来跨文化交流的持久见证者。century为可数名词,空前无不定冠词修饰,结合句意可知此处表示“几个世纪”,应用复数形式,century的复数为centuries。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在它的黄金时代,它是一个繁忙的中心,东西方的商人和旅行者聚集在这里,分享商品和想法。此处为定语从句,先行词为a busy centre,关系词在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它最珍贵的遗产在于莫高窟,那里精美的雕塑和鲜艳的绘画构成了一幅受不同地区影响的特殊文化画卷。此处修饰名词heritage,应用形容词作定语,prize的形容词形式为prized,意为“珍贵的”。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它最珍贵的遗产在于莫高窟,那里精美的雕塑和鲜艳的绘画构成了一幅受不同地区影响的特殊文化画卷。picture为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示“一幅特殊的文化画卷”,为泛指,且special是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:如今,敦煌将其悠久的历史与现代技术相结合,与世界分享其珍宝。句中已有谓语动词connects,此处应用非谓语动词,结合句意,此处表示目的,应用动词不定式to share。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:利用高清扫描和虚拟游览等数字工具,来自世界各地的人们可以在不损害精美艺术的情况下探索洞穴的奇观,同样令人印象深刻的是这座城市如何平衡旅游业发展与环境保护。结合句意,此处表示“不损害”,应用介词without,后接动名词作宾语。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:利用高清扫描和虚拟游览等数字工具,来自世界各地的人们可以在不损害精美艺术的情况下探索洞穴的奇观,同样令人印象深刻的是这座城市如何平衡旅游业发展与环境保护。此处修饰名词development,tourism development意为“旅游业发展”,名词作定语表类别。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:一套智能防沙系统,利用物理屏障、种草和科学监测,保护莫高窟免受风沙破坏,确保这些伟大的作品为子孙后代所安全保存。此处为主句谓语动词,陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语A smart sand control system为单数,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式protects。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:游客们被敦煌在呵护自然的同时让历史焕发生机的成功真正打动了。此处修饰动词touched,应用副词,genuine的副词形式为genuinely。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:游客们被敦煌在呵护自然的同时让历史焕发生机的成功真正打动了。逻辑主语Dunhuang与care之间为主动关系,应用现在分词caring和while构成时间状语。

【答案】Possible Version 1:
My Dream, My Compass
Faced with parents’ wish, society’s trend and my own dream, I firmly choose to pursue my lifelong dream of being a writer.
Following personal passion isn’t selfish; it fuels lasting motivation that no external push can match. Writing lets me express true thoughts and connect with others deeply, which feels more meaningful than chasing trends or meeting others’ expectations. While I respect my parents’ hopes and acknowledge societal needs, only doing what I love brings genuine fulfillment. I’ll strive to balance dreams with reality, turning passion into a career that enriches both my life and the world around me.
Possible Version 2:
Choosing a Path with Purpose
Faced with the three directions shown in the cartoon — parents’ wish, society’s trend, and my own dream—my choice would be to follow society’s trend.
Some may argue that pursuing one’s own dream is the only way to true happiness. However, I believe that aligning with societal trends does not mean giving up personal ambition. Instead, it means understanding the needs of the world and finding where one can contribute meaningfully. Many of today’s most rewarding careers — in fields like green technology, digital innovation, and public health — are also society’s current directions. By choosing such a path, I can ensure that my work has real value and relevance.
This choice is not about blindly following the crowd, but about thoughtfully connecting my abilities with broader needs. In this way, I can build a stable future while still growing personally and making a tangible difference in the world.

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。
I stared at the wrinkled poster on the classroom wall, my heart sinking like a stone. The school’s annual community service fair was only a week away, and my group’s project — organizing a book drive for the local children’s home — was stuck in a mess. As the group leader, I’d confidently promised to collect at least 200 books, but so far, our donation box sat empty in the corner, laughing at my overconfidence.
“It’s not your fault,” Mia, my most responsible teammate, said gently as she wiped dust off the box. “Everyone’s just busy with midterms.” But I knew the truth: I’d rushed the planning, skipped making reminder flyers (传单), and assumed people would simply show up with books. When our class presentation about the project ended with awkward silence instead of enthusiasm, I chose to do nothing to improve the situation, too proud to ask for help.
On Wednesday afternoon, I passed the children’s home on my way home. Through the iron gate, I saw a little girl sitting on the steps, hugging a worn picture book so tightly that her fingers turned white. Her eyes lit up as she ran her fingers over the worn pages, and suddenly, my embarrassment turned into a sharp guilt. I’d let these kids down — not because of midterms, but because of my own carelessness and pride.
That evening, I sat at my desk, staring at the empty donation list. I thought about calling the teacher to quit, but the image of the little girl with the worn book stopped me. I pulled out my notebook and started drafting new flyers, this time adding hand-drawn illustrations and a personal note about why the books mattered. At 9 p.m., I hesitantly sent a message to my classmates — I messed up the book drive planning, but these kids deserve better. Would anyone help me try again?
I held my phone, nervous about their responses. Would they laugh at my failure? Ignore my request? As minutes went by, my hopes faded—until the first reply showed up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The first reply was from Leo, who rarely joined group activities.

By the day of the community service fair, our donation box was overflowing.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The first reply was from Leo, who rarely joined group activities. “Count me in! I have some children’s books at home and I can help put up posters after school,” his message read. Soon, more replies flooded in—Mia offered to work with the class teacher for a classroom announcement, and several classmates said they’d ask their families and neighbors for donations. My heart warmed, and I realized that admitting my mistake wasn’t weakness but the first step to fixing it. The next afternoon, we gathered at school, cutting colorful paper for posters and packing up the books Leo had brought.
By the day of the community service fair, our donation box was overflowing. An unexpected number of picture books, storybooks and activity books filled every corner, going far beyond our 200-book goal. When we delivered the books to the children’s home, the little girl I’d seen earlier ran over, her eyes wide with joy as she picked a bright new storybook. “Thank you!” she said, hugging the book to her chest. I smiled, knowing that teamwork and being modest had turned our mess into a success. This experience taught me that true leadership isn’t about being perfect, but about having the courage to correct mistakes and ask for help.
【解析】

A
Four Theme Parks in Florida
Here are four of the best theme parks in Florida so you can start planning your next trip.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
Home to over 50 attractions, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal-focused theme park with an emphasis on keeping rare animals. Here, you’ll find the tallest and fastest roller coaster (过山车) in the world, Montu, as well as the area’s largest zoo, with over 200 animal species. One of its newest coasters is the heart-stopping Iron Gwazi which ascends (上升) 206 feet in the air and reaches speeds of up to 76 miles per hour.
Magic Kingdom Park
This park set the standard for the Florida theme park industry we know today when it opened in 1971. Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to relive the tales of childhood and enjoy beloved attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s also the home of Disney World’s newest ride, TRON Lightcycle/ Run, an exciting roller coaster.
Legoland Florida
Themed with the brightly coloured bricks, Legoland Florida is the place for the next generation of excitement seekers, home to entry-level roller coasters and kid-friendly attractions. The park’s newest attractions include Pirate River Quest, a scenic boat ride through the former Cypress Garden. While the attractions may focus on younger guests, this is really a park for everyone.
Universal Studios Florida
Inspired by the greatest moments from entertainment history, Universal Studios Florida is a movie and television-themed park that began as an actual working studio. Several lands pay homage (致敬) to iconic sets, including San Francisco and New York. This is also where kids can find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter—Diagon Alley, one of the most impressive theme parks ever built.
1. What can you find in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay?

In an age shaped by social media and self-promotion, people admire a visible version of success, the kind that takes center stage and seeks constant applause. For an extended period, I was a willing participant in this illusion (错觉), measuring my own worth by the volume of recognition I received from others, only to feel disappointed when my quiet contributions went unnoticed.
My perspective on value and success shifted greatly during my volunteer time at a small neighborhood library. It was a quiet place with calm yet purposeful daily activities, where the staff worked diligently without expectation of praise or recognition. My responsibilities there were modest and simple: reshelving books, helping a student find a suitable novel, or keeping the reading room quiet and peaceful for everyone. These ordinary and unsung routines, which were easily overlooked by most people, first struck me as trifling, totally lacking the applause and attention I had starved for.
Over time, however, I began to see deeper value in these simple tasks. An elderly man came to the library every week, calling it his only shelter of peace in a noisy world. A small group of young locals depended on its quiet and comfortable atmosphere to take a break from their busy lives. I gradually came to realize that the library’s true significance lay not in great public recognition or praise, but in the steady, silent dedication (奉献) of its staff that made it a warm haven (港湾) for the whole community.
Eventually, I learned that true competence operates quietly. It lies in the work done without an audience: the small, consistent efforts that make life easier for others. Success does not need a spotlight to be real. The most meaningful contributions are often made without expecting applause, yet they are profoundly valuable.
4. What did the author previously believe?
A. Silent work deserved respect. B. Success hid in the dark.
C. Visible efforts earned reputation. D. Recognition measured worth.
5. What does the underlined word “trifling” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Effortless. B. Challenging. C. Insignificant. D. Complicated.
6. How does the author illustrate the importance of the library in paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples. B. By making contrast.
C. By listing statistics. D. By quoting readers.
7. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To compare different types of success.
B. To show the value of quiet devotion.
C. To describe the experience at a library.
D. To advocate seeking public recognition.
C
To live a long and healthy life, it’s not enough to just eat well and exercise regularly. You must also nurture your psychological well-being. Let’s start with relationships.
The Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest in-depth study of human life ever done, has followed participants for decades. It shows that high-quality relationships are key predictors of long-life health and well-being. For example, men with more positive social relationships are more involved in their community and have a lower risk of depression and better cognition in later life.
“People we’re close to help us find solutions to problems and control difficult emotions,” says Schultz, one of the researchers. Just being near people calms the body in important ways. This is because close relationships positively affect our hormones (荷尔蒙), immune systems and even how our genes are expressed.
When people are in good relationships, their wounds heal more quickly. Studies show that a stronger immune system is linked to having more friends, suggesting that sociability can help make the immune system stronger and more youthful. Having close friendships also appears to change the activity of genes responsible for aging and several systems that help our bodies cope with stress.
Loneliness is bad for our health. Its emotional pain can produce the same stress response as a long-term medical condition and lead to swelling and reduced immunity.
To tackle loneliness, clinical psychologist Katherine Schaffer recommends two steps: find a way to contribute to someone else’s life and let others contribute to yours. “Letting people do the same for you can have a great impact on how you connect with others and your attitude to loneliness,” she says.
8. What does the Harvard Study reveal about sound relationships?
A. They can cure depression in old age. B. Their benefits are more noticeable in men.
C. Better health outcomes are linked to them. D. They are the most important factors for a long life.
9. According to paragraph 4, what is a benefit of good friendships?
A. They can prevent the process of aging.
B. They can make the immune system stronger.
C. They reduce stress by changing stress-related genes.
D. They help wounds heal faster by boosting hormone levels.
10. What does Katherine Schaffer suggest to handle loneliness?
A. Focusing on contributing to others. B. Engaging in mutual support with others.
C. Avoiding any dependence on other people. D. Accepting others’ contributions unconditionally.
11. What should be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Power of Relationships B. The Harm of Loneliness and Stress
C. The Importance of Diet and Exercise D. The Harvard Study on Adult Development
D
Eating from plastic takeout containers may significantly increase the chance of heart failure, a new study finds, and researchers suspect they have identified the reasons.
The novel study from Chinese researchers adds to growing evidence of the risks associated with eating from plastic, and builds on previous evidence linking plastic chemicals to heart disease. The authors used a two-part method, first looking into how often over 3,000 people in China ate from plastic takeout containers, and whether they had heart disease.
They then exposed rats to plastic chemicals in water that was boiled and poured into carryout containers to collect chemicals. Plastic can contain any of about 20,000 chemicals, and many of them, such as BPA, phthalates (邻苯二甲酸盐) and PFAS, present health risks. The chemicals are often found in food and food packaging, and are linked to a range of problems from cancer to reproductive harm. They put boiling water in the containers for one, five or 15 minutes because plastic chemicals come out at much higher rates when hot contents are placed in containers.
The authors then gave rats the water polluted with chemicals from plastic to drink for several months, then analyzed the gut (肠道) bacteria and waste products in the feces. It found notable changes. “It showed that swallowing these chemicals changed the gut environment, affected gut bacteria composition, and changed gut bacteria waste products, particularly those linked to inflammation (炎症),” the authors wrote. They then checked the rats’ heart muscle tissue and found it had been damaged. The study did not find a significant difference in the changes and damage among rats that were exposed to water that had been in contact with plastic for one minute versus five or fifteen.
The study does not make suggestions on how consumers can protect themselves. But public health supporters say to avoid microwaving or adding hot food to plastic containers at home, or cooking anything in plastic. Replacing plastic tools at home with glass, wood or stainless steel choices is also wise.
12. What is the key conclusion of the Chinese study?
A. Plastic containers change food flavour. B. Chemicals in plastics may harm health.
C. Hot liquids damage plastic structure. D. Gut bacteria help cause heart disease.
13. Why did researchers test with boiling water?
A. To copy real food packaging situations. B. To compare different plastic types.
C. To clean the containers thoroughly. D. To test plastic containers’ durability.
14. What did the study find about rats exposed to plastic chemicals?
A. Their gut bacteria remained normal. B. Their waste products didn’t change.
C. Effects varied with exposure time. D. Their heart tissue showed damage.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To explain how gut bacteria affect heart function.
B. To compare different types of food packaging materials.
C. To introduce new plastic technologies in food preservation.
D. To warn about health risks from certain food containers.

I pulled out my notebook and started drafting new flyers, this time adding hand-drawn illustrations and a personal note about why the books mattered. At 9 p.m., I hesitantly sent a message to my classmates — I messed up the book drive planning, but these kids deserve better. Would anyone help me try again?
I held my phone, nervous about their responses. Would they laugh at my failure? Ignore my request? As minutes went by, my hopes faded—until the first reply showed up.
