You can learn group dances and take part in ping-pong matches with other guests.(这个舞台对所有游客开放。你可以学习集体舞，还可以和其他游客一起参加乒乓球比赛)”可知，第二舞台的特别之处在于它欢迎所有游客参与体验。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Extra Services下面“Collect stamps on your free “Cultural Passport” to get special souvenirs and enjoy a 15% discount on food purchases.(在你免费的“文化护照”上收集印章，就可以获得特殊纪念品，并且购买食物享受15%的折扣)”可知，携带盖好章的文化护照可享受15%的折扣，原价40美元的食物，计算可得40×(1−15%)=40×0.85=34美元。 B Wang Hong, a reserved mathematician wearing tortoiseshell glasses, rewrote global math history recently. She became the third woman worldwide and the first Chinese woman to win the Fields Medal, widely regarded as the Nobel Prize for mathematics. Wang spent her childhood in Guilin. Her parents were both schoolteachers, yet never burdened her with academic pressure. Among her hobbies, math shone brightest. She finished every exercise in her new textbooks before each semester and bought extra math books to solve on her own. At six, she solved a tricky geometry (几何学) brainteaser faster than her math-teacher father. In middle school, Wang set her sights on studying math at Peking University, but later failed to get the only provincial math admission spot and entered Peking University as an Earth and Space Sciences student. Encouraged by her professor, she transferred to the math department, but hesitated between analysis and algebra (代数学) for long. Though her father casually said analysis seemed easier, determined not to let others’ casual remarks shape her final decision, she leaned toward algebra at first. In 2011, Wang pursued further study at France’s École Polytechnique (巴黎综合理工学院) with little French. She overcame language difficulties and tried architecture for one semester, but soon returned to math research. She stopped worrying about her ability and kept learning earnestly. After her award, a heart-warming scene was widely shared in news reports: her former supervisor watched her academic sharing session with relief and kindness, noting that few students could remain calm in the face of setbacks as she did. By winning the 2026 Fields Medal, she has proved that constant devotion can turn mathematical dreams into reality, blazing a trail for female researchers in mathematics. 4. What can we learn about Wang Hong as a child in paragraph 2? A. She displayed an exceptional gift for math. B. She was the brightest girl from an early age. C. Her other hobbies prevented her from focusing on math. D. She worked out math problems under her parents’ pressure. 5. Why did Wang Hong initially study Earth and Space Sciences at Peking University? A. Her parents chose the major for her. B. She had lost interest in mathematics. C. She was not qualified for the math admission. D. She failed the university entrance examination. 6. Which words can best describe Wang Hong? A. Creative and modest. B. Determined and persistent. C. Outgoing and sociable. D. Sensitive and hesitant. 7. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce the history of the Fields Medal. B. To share Wang Hong’s growth story and spirit. C. To compare math education in China and France. D. To describe the difficulties Wang Hong met in France. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了数学家王虹的成长经历以及她获得菲尔兹奖的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Among her hobbies, math shone brightest. She finished every exercise in her new textbooks before each semester and bought extra math books to solve on her own. At six, she solved a tricky geometry (几何学) brainteaser faster than her math-teacher father.(在她的众多爱好里，数学是最亮眼的一项。每学期开学前她就做完了新课本里的所有习题，还自己额外买数学书刷题。六岁时，她解出一道复杂的几何智力题，速度比当数学老师的父亲还快。)”可知，童年时期的王虹就展现出了远超常人的数学天赋。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In middle school, Wang set her sights on studying math at Peking University, but later failed to get the only provincial math admission spot and entered Peking University as an Earth and Space Sciences student.(中学时王虹就立志要去北大读数学，但之后没能拿到全省唯一的数学专业录取名额，最终以地球与空间科学专业学生的身份考入了北京大学。)”可知，她最初就读北大地球与空间科学专业，是因为没能达到数学专业的录取要求。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Though her father casually said analysis seemed easier, determined not to let others’ casual remarks shape her final decision, she leaned toward algebra at first. (尽管父亲随口说分析似乎更容易，但她决心不让别人的随意评论影响自己的最终决定，起初倾向于代数学。)”以及第四段中的“She overcame language difficulties and tried architecture for one semester, but soon returned to math research. She stopped worrying about her ability and kept learning earnestly. (她克服了语言困难，尝试了一个学期的建筑学，但很快又回到了数学研究上。她不再担心自己的能力，而是继续认真地学习。)”可知，王虹是一位意志坚定并且坚持不懈的人。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述了王虹从童年展现数学天赋，到经历挫折、转专业、赴法求学，最终获得菲尔兹奖的成长历程。结合最后一段中的“By winning the 2026 Fields Medal, she has proved that constant devotion can turn mathematical dreams into reality, blazing a trail for female researchers in mathematics. (通过赢得2026年菲尔兹奖，她证明了持续的投入可以将数学梦想变为现实，为数学领域的女性研究者开辟了道路。)”可知，本文的主要目的是分享王虹的成长故事和精神品质。 C Labor shortages in agriculture are driving growing interest in robotic systems that can automate harvesting. Yet some crops remain especially challenging for machines. Tomatoes, for example, grow in clusters (簇), meaning robots must identify and remove only the ripe fruit while leaving unripe tomatoes attached to the vine. Doing this reliably requires careful judgement and precise control. To address this problem, Professor Takuya Fujinaga from Osaka Metropolitan University developed a method that allows robots to assess how easy each tomato is to harvest before attempting to pick it. Fujinaga’s approach combines image recognition with statistical analysis to determine the best direction from which to harvest each tomato. The system analyzes visual information about the fruit itself, the shape and position of its stems, and whether the tomato is partially hidden by leaves or other parts of the plant. By weighing these factors, the robot can make more informed control decisions and select the approach that offers the highest chance of a successful harvest. The model represents a shift in focus from the traditional “detection/recognition” model to what Fujinaga calls a “harvest ease estimation”. “This moves beyond simply asking ‘Can a robot pick a tomato?’ to thinking about ‘How likely is a successful pick?’, which is more meaningful for real-world farming,” he explained. In trials, Fujinaga’s system achieved a successful harvest rate of 81%, significantly outperforming expectations. Around one quarter of those successful picks involved tomatoes collected from the right or left side after earlier attempts from the front had failed, indicating that the robot adjusted its strategy when it encountered difficulty. The findings underline how complex robotic fruit harvesting can be, with factors such as clustered growth, stem shape, surrounding leaves, and visual obstruction (阻碍) all playing critical roles. “This research establishes ‘ease of harvesting’ as a quantitatively evaluable metric (度量), bringing us one step closer to the realization of agricultural robots that can make informed decisions and act intelligently.” Fujinaga said. “This is expected to introduce a new form of agriculture where robots and humans collaborate.” 8. What makes it difficult for machines to harvest tomatoes? A. Telling ripe fruits from unripe ones. B. Telling stems and leaves apart on the plant. C. Reaching tomatoes hidden deep among the leaves. D. Breaking tomatoes free from the clusters they grow in. 9. What is the key shift in Fujinaga’s model? A. From a pick’s possibility to its success rate. B. From picking at the front to picking at the side. C. From image recognition to careful statistical analysis. D. From heavy manual labor to fully automatic harvesting. 10. What can we infer about the new harvesting system from the trial results? A. It relies mainly on statistical analysis. B. It works equally well from any direction. C. It will soon replace human harvesters entirely. D. It still struggles with complicated growing conditions. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Labor Shortages Threaten Global Farming Industry B. Tomato Picking Remains Hard for Harvesting Robots C. Image Recognition Drives Robotic Harvesting Forward D. New Harvest Ease Model Boosts Robotic Tomato Picking 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了由于农业劳动力短缺，人们越发关注自动化采摘机器人，但番茄采摘难度很大。来自大阪公立大学的Fujinaga教授研发了一套“采摘难易度评估”新模式，大幅提升了机器人采摘番茄的成功率。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Tomatoes, for example, grow in clusters (簇), meaning robots must identify and remove only the ripe fruit while leaving unripe tomatoes attached to the vine.(例如，番茄成簇生长，这意味着机器人必须识别并只摘下成熟的果实，同时把未成熟的番茄留在藤蔓上。)”可知，让机器采摘番茄的难点是区分成熟果实和未成熟果实。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The model represents a shift in focus from the traditional “detection/recognition” model to what Fujinaga calls a “harvest ease estimation”. “This moves beyond simply asking ‘Can a robot pick a tomato?’ to thinking about ‘How likely is a successful pick?’, which is more meaningful for real-world farming,” he explained.(该模型代表着关注点从传统的“检测/识别”模式转向了Fujinaga所说的“采摘难易度评估”。他解释道：“这不再只是简单地问‘机器人能不能摘下番茄？’，而是去思考‘采摘成功的可能性有多大？’，这对于实际农业生产更有意义。”)”可知，新模式的关键转变是从能否采摘转向关注采摘的成功概率。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Around one quarter of those successful picks involved tomatoes collected from the right or left side after earlier attempts from the front had failed, indicating that the robot adjusted its strategy when it encountered difficulty.(大约四分之一的成功采摘是在从正面尝试失败之后，改为从左右两侧完成的，这表明机器人遇到困难时会调整策略。)”和最后一段“The findings underline how complex robotic fruit harvesting can be, with factors such as clustered growth, stem shape, surrounding leaves, and visual obstruction (阻碍) all playing critical roles.(这些研究结果表明，机器人进行水果采摘的工作会何其复杂；成簇生长、果柄形状、周边叶片以及视觉遮挡等各类因素，全都起着至关重要的作用。)”可知，面对复杂的生长状况，这套系统仍然会遇到阻碍，需要调整方案。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Labor shortages in agriculture are driving growing interest in robotic systems that can automate harvesting. Yet some crops remain especially challenging for machines.(农业劳动力短缺，使得人们对于能够实现自动化采摘的机器人系统愈发感兴趣。然而，还是有一些农作物对机器来说采摘难度很大。)”、第二段“To address this problem, Professor Takuya Fujinaga from Osaka Metropolitan University developed a method that allows robots to assess how easy each tomato is to harvest before attempting to pick it.(为了解决这个难题，来自大阪公立大学的藤永拓也教授研发出一种方法，可以让机器人在尝试采摘每一颗番茄之前，先评估它的采摘难易程度。)”以及第五段“In trials, Fujinaga’s system achieved a successful harvest rate of 81%, significantly outperforming expectations.(在试验中，Fujinaga的这套系统达到了81%的采摘成功率，远超预期。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种全新的“采摘难易度评估”模型，有效提高了机器人采摘番茄的成功率。D项“New Harvest Ease Model Boosts Robotic Tomato Picking(新型采摘难易度模型助力机器人采摘番茄)”最适合作为文章标题。 D Research consistently shows that practicing gratitude improves well-being, but surprisingly, its impact on lifespan (寿命) was unknown. A groundbreaking new study has filled this gap. Published in July 2024, the study analyzed data from 49,275 women participating in the long-running Nurses’ Health Study. In 2016, when their average age was 79, these women completed a brief six-item questionnaire measuring their sense of gratitude. They indicated their agreement with statements like, “I have so much in life to be thankful for.” Four years later, researchers examined medical records to track who had passed away. Among the participants, 4,608 deaths occurred from various causes, including heart disease, cancer, and other leading illnesses. The results were striking. Women whose gratitude scores placed them in the top third at the start of the study had a 9% lower risk of dying over the next four years compared to those in the bottom third. This protective effect remained significant even after adjusting for factors like physical health, economic status, and other measures of mental health. Crucially, the benefit appeared across nearly all causes of death, offering some protection against major killers like heart disease. While the study cannot definitively prove causation (因果关系), co-author Tyler VanderWeele proposes several explanations. First, feeling grateful simply makes people happier, and happiness itself correlates with longer life. Second, grateful individuals might be more motivated to care for their health, such as attending doctor’s appointments or exercising regularly. Finally, expressing gratitude can strengthen social bonds and increase social support, both of which are known to boost health. The study was observational (观察性的). This means it can’t prove that gratitude helps people live longer — only that an association exists. Furthermore, the study population consisted exclusively of older, primarily white, female nurses with high socioeconomic status (社会经济地位). Researchers now wonder whether these findings would apply equally to men, younger people, or those from different economic backgrounds. 12. What did the new study aim to examine? A. What makes older women feel grateful. B. Which illnesses shorten women’s lives most. C. Whether gratitude contributes to a longer life. D. How gratitude improves people’s mental health. 13. What happened to the women with the highest gratitude scores? A. They fell ill much less often at any age. B. They were less likely to die in the four years. C. They enjoyed better mental health than others. D. They were protected from heart disease above all. 14. What does the underlined word association in the last paragraph mean? A. A group of people. B. A link of some kind. C. A social activity. D. A set of fixed rules. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the study’s findings? A. Fully convinced. B. Strongly doubtful. C. Cautiously positive. D. Completely indifferent. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍一项开创性新研究发现感恩情绪与较低的死亡风险存在关联，并阐释几种可能的原因，同时说明该研究的局限性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Research consistently shows that practicing gratitude improves well-being, but surprisingly, its impact on lifespan (寿命) was unknown. A groundbreaking new study has filled this gap.(研究一致表明练习感恩能提升幸福感，但令人意外的是，它对寿命的影响尚不为人知。一项开创性的新研究填补了这一空白)”可知，这项新研究旨在探究感恩是否有助于延长寿命。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Women whose gratitude scores placed them in the top third at the start of the study had a 9% lower risk of dying over the next four years compared to those in the bottom third.(研究开始时感恩得分排在前三分之一的女性，在接下来四年里的死亡风险，比后三分之一的女性低9%)”可知，感恩得分最高的群体在这四年当中死亡的可能性更低。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“This means it can’t prove that gratitude helps people live longer — only that an association exists.(这意味着它不能证明感恩有助于人们长寿——只能证明存在某种association)”可知，本句表达研究无法证明感恩和长寿之间存在因果关系，只能证明感恩和长寿之间存在某种联系。association意为“联系”。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Women whose gratitude scores placed them in the top third at the start of the study had a 9% lower risk of dying over the next four years compared to those in the bottom third. This protective effect remained significant even after adjusting for factors like physical health, economic status, and other measures of mental health. Crucially, the benefit appeared across nearly all causes of death, offering some protection against major killers like heart disease.(研究开始时感恩得分排在前三分之一的女性，在接下来四年里的死亡风险，比后三分之一的女性低9%。即使在调整了身体健康、经济状况和其他心理健康指标等因素后，这种保护作用仍然显著。至关重要的是，这种益处几乎出现在所有死亡原因中，为抵抗心脏病等主要杀手提供了一些保护)”以及最后一段“The study was observational (观察性的). This means it can’t prove that gratitude helps people live longer — only that an association exists. Furthermore, the study population consisted exclusively of older, primarily white, female nurses with high socioeconomic status (社会经济地位). Researchers now wonder whether these findings would apply equally to men, younger people, or those from different economic backgrounds.(这项研究是观察性的。这意味着它不能证明感恩有助于人们长寿——只能证明两者之间存在关联。此外，研究人群完全由社会经济地位较高的老年（主要是白人）女护士组成。研究人员现在想知道这些发现是否同样适用于男性、年轻人或来自不同经济背景的人群)”可知，作者先客观介绍了研究得出的显著积极结果，之后又补充说明该研究无法证明因果关系、研究样本有局限性、结论是否适用于其他人群还待验证，由此可推测，作者既认可研究的发现，又对结论的适用范围持谨慎态度，总体持谨慎肯定的态度。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Since ancient times, people have longed for better health and a youthful appearance.

Last spring, her school planned a long-distance mountain cycling event. Lila had looked forward to it for months. However, days before the event, she fell off her bike and injured her left knee badly. The doctor told her she had to avoid heavy exercise for at least one month. Hearing the news, Lila felt extremely upset. She could not participate in the cycling event she had been longing for. Seeing her low spirits, her grandma came over with an old box. Inside were dozens of hand-sewn cloth bags, which her grandma had made years ago. “You cannot ride, but maybe you can do something for your classmates,” Grandma suggested. Lila stared at those cloth bags. An idea flashed through her mind. She decided to decorate the bags and fill them with small supplies for her classmates. She spent the next several days drawing patterns and packing band-aids, candies and hand warmers. On the day of the cycling event, Lila stood at the school gate with all the decorated bags. 注意：续写词数应为150左右；请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: When her classmates lined up to set off, Lila handed out the bags one by one. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Later that evening, many classmates came to visit Lila at home. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: When her classmates lined up to set off, Lila handed out the bags one by one. A faint smile curved on her face, though disappointment still haunted her deep inside. She urged each cyclist to take good care of themselves on the tough mountain route. Holding the lovely decorated bags, her classmates were touched greatly. Some gave her warm hugs to show their gratitude. It was obvious that no one could ignore the thought hidden in those little gifts. Even if she was unable to join the race, Lila took delight in bringing comfort to her friends. Paragraph 2: Later that evening, many classmates came to visit Lila at home. They excitedly described the amazing scenery and tough struggles during their cycling trip. One of them placed a group photo on her desk, on which everyone held Lila’s cloth bag. Overwhelmed with joy, Lila felt her sorrow fade away. What mattered was not whether she took part in the activity herself, but that she could offer support to her dearest friends. Though her knee still ached, a sense of satisfaction lit up her whole heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了热爱骑行的Lila因膝盖受伤无法参加期待已久的山地骑行活动，心情低落。奶奶拿出自己缝制的布袋启发她，Lila决定将这些布袋装饰后装上补给品送给参赛的同学。活动当天，她在校门口为大家分发礼物。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Lila分发礼物时的心情、同学们的感动回应，以及她从给予中获得快乐的心理变化。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写同学们分享骑行经历、赠送合影，以及Lila从中领悟到参与的方式不止一种。 2. 续写线索： 分发袋子——叮嘱安全——同学感动——拥抱致谢——傍晚来访——分享经历——收到合影——悲伤消散——感悟奉献的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 描述：describe/recount ② 点亮：light up/brighten 情绪类 ① 失落：disappointment /frustration ② 满足：satisfaction / contentment 【点睛】【高分句型1】It was obvious that no one could ignore the thought hidden in those little gifts.

B Wang Hong, a reserved mathematician wearing tortoiseshell glasses, rewrote global math history recently. She became the third woman worldwide and the first Chinese woman to win the Fields Medal, widely regarded as the Nobel Prize for mathematics. Wang spent her childhood in Guilin. Her parents were both schoolteachers, yet never burdened her with academic pressure. Among her hobbies, math shone brightest. She finished every exercise in her new textbooks before each semester and bought extra math books to solve on her own. At six, she solved a tricky geometry (几何学) brainteaser faster than her math-teacher father. In middle school, Wang set her sights on studying math at Peking University, but later failed to get the only provincial math admission spot and entered Peking University as an Earth and Space Sciences student. Encouraged by her professor, she transferred to the math department, but hesitated between analysis and algebra (代数学) for long. Though her father casually said analysis seemed easier, determined not to let others’ casual remarks shape her final decision, she leaned toward algebra at first. In 2011, Wang pursued further study at France’s École Polytechnique (巴黎综合理工学院) with little French. She overcame language difficulties and tried architecture for one semester, but soon returned to math research. She stopped worrying about her ability and kept learning earnestly. After her award, a heart-warming scene was widely shared in news reports: her former supervisor watched her academic sharing session with relief and kindness, noting that few students could remain calm in the face of setbacks as she did. By winning the 2026 Fields Medal, she has proved that constant devotion can turn mathematical dreams into reality, blazing a trail for female researchers in mathematics. 4. What can we learn about Wang Hong as a child in paragraph 2? A. She displayed an exceptional gift for math. B. She was the brightest girl from an early age. C. Her other hobbies prevented her from focusing on math. D. She worked out math problems under her parents’ pressure. 5. Why did Wang Hong initially study Earth and Space Sciences at Peking University? A. Her parents chose the major for her. B. She had lost interest in mathematics. C. She was not qualified for the math admission. D. She failed the university entrance examination. 6. Which words can best describe Wang Hong? A. Creative and modest. B. Determined and persistent. C. Outgoing and sociable. D. Sensitive and hesitant. 7. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce the history of the Fields Medal. B. To share Wang Hong’s growth story and spirit. C. To compare math education in China and France. D. To describe the difficulties Wang Hong met in France. C Labor shortages in agriculture are driving growing interest in robotic systems that can automate harvesting. Yet some crops remain especially challenging for machines. Tomatoes, for example, grow in clusters (簇), meaning robots must identify and remove only the ripe fruit while leaving unripe tomatoes attached to the vine. Doing this reliably requires careful judgement and precise control. To address this problem, Professor Takuya Fujinaga from Osaka Metropolitan University developed a method that allows robots to assess how easy each tomato is to harvest before attempting to pick it. Fujinaga’s approach combines image recognition with statistical analysis to determine the best direction from which to harvest each tomato. The system analyzes visual information about the fruit itself, the shape and position of its stems, and whether the tomato is partially hidden by leaves or other parts of the plant. By weighing these factors, the robot can make more informed control decisions and select the approach that offers the highest chance of a successful harvest. The model represents a shift in focus from the traditional “detection/recognition” model to what Fujinaga calls a “harvest ease estimation”. “This moves beyond simply asking ‘Can a robot pick a tomato?’ to thinking about ‘How likely is a successful pick?’, which is more meaningful for real-world farming,” he explained. In trials, Fujinaga’s system achieved a successful harvest rate of 81%, significantly outperforming expectations. Around one quarter of those successful picks involved tomatoes collected from the right or left side after earlier attempts from the front had failed, indicating that the robot adjusted its strategy when it encountered difficulty. The findings underline how complex robotic fruit harvesting can be, with factors such as clustered growth, stem shape, surrounding leaves, and visual obstruction (阻碍) all playing critical roles. “This research establishes ‘ease of harvesting’ as a quantitatively evaluable metric (度量), bringing us one step closer to the realization of agricultural robots that can make informed decisions and act intelligently.” Fujinaga said. “This is expected to introduce a new form of agriculture where robots and humans collaborate.” 8. What makes it difficult for machines to harvest tomatoes? A. Telling ripe fruits from unripe ones. B. Telling stems and leaves apart on the plant. C. Reaching tomatoes hidden deep among the leaves. D. Breaking tomatoes free from the clusters they grow in. 9. What is the key shift in Fujinaga’s model? A. From a pick’s possibility to its success rate. B. From picking at the front to picking at the side. C. From image recognition to careful statistical analysis. D. From heavy manual labor to fully automatic harvesting. 10. What can we infer about the new harvesting system from the trial results? A. It relies mainly on statistical analysis. B. It works equally well from any direction. C. It will soon replace human harvesters entirely. D. It still struggles with complicated growing conditions. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Labor Shortages Threaten Global Farming Industry B. Tomato Picking Remains Hard for Harvesting Robots C. Image Recognition Drives Robotic Harvesting Forward D. New Harvest Ease Model Boosts Robotic Tomato Picking D Research consistently shows that practicing gratitude improves well-being, but surprisingly, its impact on lifespan (寿命) was unknown. A groundbreaking new study has filled this gap. Published in July 2024, the study analyzed data from 49,275 women participating in the long-running Nurses’ Health Study. In 2016, when their average age was 79, these women completed a brief six-item questionnaire measuring their sense of gratitude. They indicated their agreement with statements like, “I have so much in life to be thankful for.” Four years later, researchers examined medical records to track who had passed away. Among the participants, 4,608 deaths occurred from various causes, including heart disease, cancer, and other leading illnesses. The results were striking. Women whose gratitude scores placed them in the top third at the start of the study had a 9% lower risk of dying over the next four years compared to those in the bottom third. This protective effect remained significant even after adjusting for factors like physical health, economic status, and other measures of mental health. Crucially, the benefit appeared across nearly all causes of death, offering some protection against major killers like heart disease. While the study cannot definitively prove causation (因果关系), co-author Tyler VanderWeele proposes several explanations. First, feeling grateful simply makes people happier, and happiness itself correlates with longer life. Second, grateful individuals might be more motivated to care for their health, such as attending doctor’s appointments or exercising regularly. Finally, expressing gratitude can strengthen social bonds and increase social support, both of which are known to boost health. The study was observational (观察性的). This means it can’t prove that gratitude helps people live longer — only that an association exists. Furthermore, the study population consisted exclusively of older, primarily white, female nurses with high socioeconomic status (社会经济地位). Researchers now wonder whether these findings would apply equally to men, younger people, or those from different economic backgrounds. 12. What did the new study aim to examine? A. What makes older women feel grateful. B. Which illnesses shorten women’s lives most. C. Whether gratitude contributes to a longer life. D. How gratitude improves people’s mental health. 13. What happened to the women with the highest gratitude scores? A. They fell ill much less often at any age. B. They were less likely to die in the four years. C. They enjoyed better mental health than others. D. They were protected from heart disease above all. 14. What does the underlined word association in the last paragraph mean? A. A group of people. B.

Last spring, her school planned a long-distance mountain cycling event. Lila had looked forward to it for months. However, days before the event, she fell off her bike and injured her left knee badly. The doctor told her she had to avoid heavy exercise for at least one month. Hearing the news, Lila felt extremely upset. She could not participate in the cycling event she had been longing for. Seeing her low spirits, her grandma came over with an old box. Inside were dozens of hand-sewn cloth bags, which her grandma had made years ago. “You cannot ride, but maybe you can do something for your classmates,” Grandma suggested. Lila stared at those cloth bags. An idea flashed through her mind. She decided to decorate the bags and fill them with small supplies for her classmates. She spent the next several days drawing patterns and packing band-aids, candies and hand warmers. On the day of the cycling event, Lila stood at the school gate with all the decorated bags. 注意：续写词数应为150左右；请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: When her classmates lined up to set off, Lila handed out the bags one by one. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Later that evening, many classmates came to visit Lila at home. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
