In today's global trade,product safety is extremely important.Therefore,labels on products help
consumers make informed choices.
The primary function of these marks is to ensure the safety of users and property.For instance,
electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the "CE"mark.This sign proves that the
product meets all relevant EU standards.Unlike an official approval,it is based on the company's own
evaluation.In contrast,the Chinese "CCC"mark requires testing by an official organization,and a
certificate must be obtained.Products without the"CCC"mark cannot be sold in China.
Other marks are also important.The French"FR"sign instructs consumers to separate packaging
for recycling.The "RoHS"mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules,but as it is
merely one part of the CE standard,it does not ensure full compliance().Codes like "SKC/SKU
are simply used by companies to manage their product storage.Most importantly,products must have
clear safety warnings on their labels,or they will be banned from the market.
Below is a product label:
A WARNING To avoid danger of choke,keep this plastic bag

On my fiftieth birthday,surrounded by celebration,I looked in the mirror and felt a letdown.
Despite a successful career and family,something was missing.I feared how I would be remembered
would be as"unfinished business"
The next decade saw me chasing new identities---entrepreneur,sports team owner---but I felt I
was playing a role,becoming a what rather than a who.I constantly asked myself,"What are you
running from?"
Turning sixty changed everything.Family health issues and selling my companies jolted me off
my hamster wheel.With more time to reflect,I realized I was a work in progress.I revisited that
question of my life meaning.My new hope was to be remembered for "a life well lived."To achieve
that,I started searching for simple joys.I began daily meditation,finding peace and reflection.This
spiritual practice slowed my heart rate and my life,clarifying what truly matters.My next step was a
diner across the street.I,a very private person,forced myself to sit at the counter among strangers.
Initially uncomfortable,I learned to listen and engage without agenda.I found unexpected
companionship and freedom,finally being just me.
People always said I needed a hobby.I had two,but had turned them into work.I read newspapers
only for business insights,skipping interesting articles.I rushed through caring for my chickens and
pigeons.I rediscovered the joy in both by doing them for pure pleasure,not purpose.Taking time for
myself has made me happier,more relaxed,and a better family man.I even started a charitable
foundation.Making time for me has benefited others too.
Like Dorothy in The Wicard of O=,I always had the power.It just took me sixty years to learn
there is no shame in taking time for me.

When were the "good old days"?Podcaster Jason Feifer devoted an episode to this question in his
program,noting many idealize the 1950s.Yet historians confirm that decade was heavy with issues:
uncontrolled individualism,racial and class tensions,and nuclear fears.Meanwhile,people in the 1950s
thought the good old days were to be found in the 1920s,when experts warned that rising divorce rates
then threatened the family.However,those in the 1920s romanticized the Victorian era,when families
were strong and children respected their elders.
This kind of nostalgia is sometimes useful---it gives us a sense of stability and predictability---
and can also be a source of strength in difficult times.But,why are human beings always so nostalgic
for past eras that seemed difficult and dangerous to those who lived through them?
One explanation is that we survived the dangers of the past,so they seem smaller now.In contrast,
we can never be certain that we will solve the problems facing us today.Another reason is that
historical nostalgia is often coloured by personal nostalgia.When people identify the"good old days",
they frequently fall on the time of their youth,for research shows that we create more memories during
adolescence and early adulthood than in any other life period.When we think about the past,this is the
period we most often return to.
While some things were genuinely better in the past,our instinctive nostalgia can lead to dangerous
consequences.Longing for the past and fearing the future can be a barrier to what drives progress.As
inventor William Petty observed,"When a new invention is first put forward,in the beginning every
man objects...not one of a hundred (inventor)outlives this torture."This was true for vaccinations
)and railroads,which all met strong resistance,just as anxieties now surround innovations like AI.
Not all fears are unfounded;new technologies can cause accidents and disrupt societies.However,
the only way to learn how to make the best use of new technologies and reduce their risks is through
trial and error.The future will not be perfect,but neither were the good old days.
8.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A.People value family relationships.
B.People are ignorant of historic facts.
C.People feel bored with their current life.D.People tend to remember the past as perfect
9.Why do"good old days"happen to be the time of people's youth?
A.It is colored by historical context.
B.We face less problems during youth.
C.It is the most memory-rich stage of life.D.People have a better memory when young
10.Why does the author quote William Petty's words?
A.To prove that fears about innovations are unfounded.
B.To show that opposition to inventions repeats.
C.To stress that inventors often suffer criticism
D.To imply that nostalgia drives development.
11.What is the author's attitude to nostalgia for"good old days"?
A.Critical
B.Cautious.
C.Dismissive.
D.Appreciative.

Tearing up,sweating,nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you're eating
spicy foods.Yet,millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling.The explanation
lies not in our sense of taste,but in our complex nervous system and psychology.
The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin(辣椒素),a compound that acts
as the plant's chemical defense.It specifically targets TRPV1,a receptor (present on nociceptors
--the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors,such as heat above 42 C.When
activated,these cells trigger an instant alarm response,causing the body to react as if it's been burned
This begs the question:why would we enjoy a feeling signaling potential danger?
The enjoyment of spicy food is learned through adaptation of the nervous system.Initially,the
brain misinterprets the capsaicin-caused heat as a potential threat,triggering an alarm-like response.
Through repeated exposure,however,it receives consistent feedback indicating no actual tissue damage
occurs.The feeling is gradually reassessed as safe and controllable,transforming the initial pain into a
form of"benign masochism".Much like the thrill of a roller coaster ride,the perceived danger---now
under our command---becomes an internal part of the pleasure.
Individual tolerance varies.Genetics can influence how sensitive one's TRPV1 receptors are to
capsaicin.More importantly,people can gradually build up a tolerance,essentially training their bodies
and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness.The receptors themselves become less responsive over
time,and the brain's predictive system becomes more accurate.
So,what can you do if the spice becomes overwhelming?Since capsaicin is fat-soluble,water is
ineffective because it only spreads the compound.Dairy products like milk or yogurt are far better
solutions the fat and protein in them combine with the capsaicin and carry it away.
12.Why does eating chili peppers give people the burning feeling?
A.Capsaicin briefly hurts taste buds.
B.Chilli peppers bring potential danger.
C.Capsaicin triggers the reaction of TRPV1.D.Chilli peppers raise the body's temperature.
13.Which experience is most similar to enjoying spicy food?
A.Listening to music.
B.Smoking cigarettes.
C.Exploring the Antarctic
D.Watching a horror film
14.What does building a high spice tolerance involve?
A.Conscious efforts.
B.Genetic adaptation
C.Blocking spiciness signals.
D.Keeping receptors from responding.
15.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Capsaicin's Trick:A False Burning Alarm
B.The Spice Lover's Dilemma:Pleasure in Pain
C.The Body's Signal:Physical Reactions to Spice
D.The Art of Endurance:Building Spice Tolerance
二、七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Early 2025 was a tough time for Taylor MacMahon.The 21-year-old college student was
struggling with some intense anxiety so she decided to seek help from a doctor.16 "He literally told
me to go touch grass."she recalls.MacMahon was skeptical at first,but she was surprised to discover
how well---and quickly---it worked.MacMahon's experience matches a growing trend in medicine:
doctors prescribing time in nature to their patients.Scott Kaiser,is one of these doctors.Here are some
common ways that he is using the great outdoors to improve their patients'health.
17 Dr.Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on what you can see
smell,hear,touch and even taste.To take it to the next level,head to a nature preserve,forest,botanical
garden,mountain or lake and engage in"forest bathing".
Other simple prescriptions include gardening,hiking,biking,swimming or picnicking.18 And
if active pursuits feel like too much,even just sitting outdoors on your balcony or on a park bench will
bring benefits.
Dr.Kaiser emphasizes that nature prescriptions are adaptable."It's about finding what works for
each person.For instance,I once used whale-watching as a prescription for one patient because they
loved being on the ocean,"says Dr.Kaiser."19 Mine is sitting on the beach or riding waves."
Dr.Kaiser puts it like this:When you feel so overwhelmed with your life that you feel like you
can't fit one more thing in,that's exactly when you need to write your own nature prescription.You'll
immediately be happier,healthier and,yes,more productive in the rest of your life.20
A.It's worth it.
B.The options are almost limitless.
C.Sensory walks are an easy way to get started.
D.Nature has a profound impact on healthy aging
E.But the recommended was much of a surprise.
F.Yours might be watching the sunset from your backyard.
G.To begin,integrate gentle physical activities into your routine

secret beach.For the last fifteen minutes,only a lone goat and a few dancing swallows (21 us

were in a completely 22 place.
Sabrina recalled that Claire had 23 a right turn,so we 24 along the dusty yellow path,and
spotted a narrow path covered with colorful wildflowers.The swallows wheeled above us,bees
hummed around our ankles,and the 25 of reaching the dead end slowly faded.No longer upset about
being lost,I closed my eyes for a moment,letting a brief moment of 26 settle over me.
Then,Sabrina shouted with joy---she'd found the 27 beach.The view of the greenish-blue
water was amazing.We sat quietly until a couple wandered in.They looked 28,and then smiled.

wildflowers.That silence didn't feel empty,and the memories about the beach would 32 in our

四、语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
The Chinese idiomatic term tieqiubiao,or"putting on autumn fat",means gaining a little weight in
early autumn by eating meals rich 36 protein and fat,including stewed meats,dumplings and nuts
Since ancient times,people 37 (measure)their weight at lixia,one of the 24 solar terms that
marks the beginning of summer,and compared it to their weight at liqiu,the beginning of autumn
This 38_(compare)helps them figure out how much weight they've lost during the hot months,hoping
to gain sufficient weight 39(weather)the upcoming cold season.
This autumn,however,many are choosing to depart from tradition and instead shaking off the
extra weight by eating what 40_(refer)to as qingshi,or literally,"light food."
"I think it's 41 post-Olympic phenomenon.After you spent the summer 42_(watch)those well-
shaped athletes on TV,you tend to reflect on your diet at midnight,"Li Xinwei,a college student in
Beijing,told Beijing Review.
Li's words reflect a broader trend 43 (influence)by the recent Paris Olympic Games,44 has
encouraged interest in athletes'light food diets on social media platforms.This shift highlights a
growing awareness of nutrition and body image among younger generations in China.As young people
45 (active)favor lighter foods,they are also contributing to the growth of the healthy food economy.
