Try some new recipes approved by seasoned barista (咖啡师) that are unofficially on the menu. If you are searching for a new flavor combination or a unique drink order, this is for you. Cinnamon Dolce Vanilla Shaken Espresso This drink is special because while it’s not necessarily made from holiday syrups, the taste reminds me of winter flavors. If you like the Horchata flavor introduced this summer, you’ll definitely love this! Bonus: this can be ordered year round since it does not contain seasonal syrups. Sugar Cookie Mocha Frappuccino If you have a sweet tooth, this one is for you. The Sugar Cookie Mocha Frappuccino is a perfect blend of icy and sweet, providing a nice sugar rush for anyone looking for a sweet treat. Iced Strawberry Matcha (抹茶) Not a big coffee person? I have the perfect solution. As a matcha lover and defender, I love to find ways to spice up my matchas. Now, a strawberry matcha normally isn’t considered a winter drink, but my personal motto is that a matcha is perfect for any time of the year. These drinks are super fun twists on the beloved holiday drinks. If you need to use up your Dining Dollars before the end of the semester, try one of these. You just might find your new favorite order! 21．(2.5分)What makes Cinnamon Dolce Vanilla Shaken Espresso special? A．It is made from holiday syrups. B．It can be ordered only in winter. C．It has a taste of winter flavors. D．It was introduced in summer. 22．(2.5分)Which drink might be suitable for people who have a fondness for sweets? A．Cinnamon Dolce Vanilla Shaken Espresso B．Sugar Cookie Mocha Frappuccino C．Iced Strawberry Matcha D．The Horchata flavor drink 23．(2.5分)Where is the passage most probably taken from? A．A coffee recipe. B．A travel guidebook. C．A fashion magazine. D．A campus website. There’s always one nonexistent friend in the group chat, loitering in the background, whose contribution to the chat remains minimal, if not extinct. That friend is me. As long as I can remember having a phone, I’ve been a terrible replier. The phrase “Sorry I missed this” became my go-to line. When a new group chat is created, the members will always come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question within hours. But I’m not terrible at replying to everyone. I pride myself on quick responses to work emails, my manager, and my mom — she even says, “I feel privileged to be on my daughter’s quick list.” To friends, I say, “Call me instead.” They know if it’s urgent, I’ll pick up right away. But if I mark a message as “non-urgent,” it’s a different story. Group chats are even harder: conversations move so fast that missing just five minutes means I’m behind on 67 messages about parties, movies or dates. Once, I set aside 15 minutes to respond to friends’ texts. But by the time I responded, they had messaged back. And I filed those new messages as non-urgent again. All of this was like message quicksand. Recently, I asked Billy about my bad texting. He’s that one friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugarcoated truth: “You take 3-5 days to reply if we’re lucky.” Ouch — but probably not wrong. Then he added, “But you always show up, never cancel, and drive 40 minutes to see us.” Now I think about our group roles — the chatty one, the caller, the non-responder. All contribute and express love in different ways. As I write this article, I wonder if my terrible texting could be a sign of my old age? Or I’m just bad at replying to messages? There’s a lot to think about — and I can promise you this thinking will take my attention away from the 219 messages I haven’t answered yet. 24．(0分)What can be inferred about the author as a responder from paragraphs 2 and 3? A．She feels stressed to reply. B．She puts the vital first. C．She prefers calling to texting. D．She fails to reply to friends. 25．What does the underlined word “quicksand” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．A list often ignored. B．An endless cycle. C．A game of rapid replies. D．A tool for classification. 26．Why does the author mention Billy in paragraph 5? A．To show her friends are tolerant. B．To stress she’s made efforts in texting. C．To prove her texting habit causes problems. D．To show her texting doesn’t hurt her friendship. 27．What is the author’s tone? A．Humorous. B．Formal. C．Doubtful. D．Concerned. （本题10分）Scientists have long been studying the brain with a goal of aiding healthier aging. While much is known about risk factors in speeding up brain aging, less has been uncovered to identify ways to reduce cognitive (认知的) decline. There is evidence that nutrition matters, and a new study shows specific nutrients (营养物质) may play a vital role in the healthy aging of the brain. The team of scientists from the University of Illinois, led by Aron Barbey, enrolled 100 volunteers aged between 65 and 75, looking for connections between certain diets and slower brain aging. These participants completed a questionnaire with measures of physical fitness. Blood sample was collected to analyze the nutrient biological markers: a more scientific evidence for what these elderly individuals were eating and drinking. Participants also underwent cognitive assessments and brain imaging. Analysis of this large set of measures revealed two types of brain aging among the participants - accelerated (加速的) and slower-than-expected. Those with slower brain aging had distinct nutrient biological markers. It was associated with nutrient intake similar to what you would get from the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes plant-based foods, healthy fats, and minimally processed ingredients, offering numerous health benefits. Barbey noted that previous research on nutrition and brain aging has mostly relied on food frequency questionnaires, which are dependent on participants’ own recall. This study is one of the first and the largest to combine brain imaging, blood biological markers and cognitive assessments. “This allows us to build a robust understanding of the relationship between these factors. We move beyond simply measuring cognitive performance with traditional psychological tests,” Barbey says. The researchers will continue to explore the nutrient biological markers investigated in this study as it relates to healthy brain aging. Barbey said it’s possible, in the future, that the findings will aid in developing therapies and interventions to promote brain health. It’s possible that simple adjusts to what we eat could help cut down the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s. 28．(2.5分)What is the main focus of the new study? A．The biological process of brain aging. B．The risk factors in stimulating brain aging. C．The impact of healthy brain aging on the senior. D．The potential effect of nutrients on brain aging. 29．(2.5分)How did the scientists analyze the participants’ nutrient intake? A．By testing their blood samples. B．By taking cognitive assessments. C．By tracking their dietary habits. D．By doing psychological tests. 30．(2.5分)Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “robust” in paragraph 5? A．Abstract. B．Solid. C．Rough. D．Variable. 31．(2.5分)What is expected of the future research? A．It will provide valuable insights into the Mediterranean diet. B．It will develop a new assessment standard for brain health. C．It will recommend a fiber-rich diet to promote healthier brain aging. D．It will contribute to preventing and treating certain brain diseases. （本题10分）Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reducing the risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks is have remained a mystery. In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system. A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years. But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans. “When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope.” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.” Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to aging and disease. “These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr. John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.” So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand. 32．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To explore the history of caffeine consumption. B．To identify how caffeine influences cell aging. C．To compare human cells with fission yeast cells. D．To find new use of caffeine in cell reproduction. 33．(2.5分)What does TOR serve as? A．A sign of aging. B．An energy source. C．A growth command center. D．A cellular fuel gauge. 34．(2.5分)What does John-Patrick suggest about the research? A．Possible direction for further research. B．Benefits of present applications. C．Characteristics of the research. D．Choice of new research methods. 35．(2.5分)What can be the best title for the text? A．AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long. B．Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch. C．The Yeast Model Unlocks Aging’s Hidden Pathways. D．Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells. （本题12.5分）Spacesuits? Ready. Oxygen tanks? Ready. Water supplies? Ready. But wait, is there anything missing? Of course, food! When sending astronauts into the deep space, we must also pack their meals. However, how do they manage their diet in a zero-gravity environment? 36(2.5分) To begin with, nutrition is always the top priority. 37(2.5分) Offering them junk food like potato chips or sweet sodas would only harm their bodies and ruin the mission. 38(2.5分) If the meals provided taste terrible or remain the same day after day, astronauts might lose their interest in food and refuse to eat. Anyone who has tried to focus on a difficult task on an empty stomach knows how hard it is. That is why space scientists try their best to make sure astronauts eat well and regularly. Additionally, the weightless environment inside a spacecraft creates special requirements for space food. Food must be sealed tightly to prevent it from floating around. Loose liquids or small pieces of food could easily get into important instruments and cause serious damage. 39(2.5分) Imagine a sharp knife floating freely in the cabin; it could easily hurt someone. Finally, the total weight is another key factor. Every single gram on a spacecraft must be carefully measured to save fuel during the long journey. 40(2.5分) Instead, most space food is dried and packed in lightweight bags. When it is time for dinner, astronauts simply add hot water into the bags to bring the food back to life. Despite these strict rules, space food today is not as strange as you might think, and many dishes are quite similar to what we enjoy at home. A．Flavor and variety cannot be ignored either. B．It requires experts to consider several key factors. C．This is also why dangerous items are strictly limited. D．The solution lies in balancing nutrition and practicality. E．Fresh food with much water is unsuitable for spacecraft. F．It is a great challenge to make space food taste delicious. G．Eating healthy food keeps the astronauts in good condition. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）The Ivory Towers of Ice-cream What is the most popular food in the world? Ice-cream, of course. How to sell more ice-creams? Carpigiani, an Italian firm that makes ice- cream 41 , has a better business plan. It is going into 42 . Its home market has consumed as many ice- creams as possible. Italy already boasts 37, 000 makers making gelatos — handmade Italian ice- creams. Since there are only so many scoops of ice-creams one nation can eat, 43 are now 80% of Carpigiani’s business. Unfortunately, most foreigners have no idea how to 44 a gelato. So Carpigiani has 45 Gelato University to teach them. In well-lit classrooms and shiny kitchens in Anzola dell’ Emilia, near Bologna, where Carpigiani has its factory, 46 from Russia, Belgium, Colombia, Japan, Britain and Turkey are 47 the secrets of selecting the perfect ingredients and freezing them. Lawrence Fama, a retired chemical engineer, hopes to start an 48 shop in his home city of San Francisco. Corrado Barberis, an Italian economist, aims to take the real 49 to Lille in northern France. Most teaching is done 50 : Gelato University mainly holds 51 in countries such as America, Australia and China. Andrea Cocchi, Carpigiani’s managing director, sees the best growth 52 in Asia and South America. A week’s course in Anzola dell’ Emilia costs students €900. There is a sweetener, however: a €900 voucher (代币券) for Carpigiani machines. Gelato University is not just making the world a cooler place, it is also a 53 tool, and a rather cost-effective one. The fees 54 the running costs, and more than 15% of students end up buying equipment. In the past three years student numbers have more than tripled, to about 6, 700. Over the same period, Carpigiani’s sales have risen from €93 million to €113 million (roughly 8, 000 machines) .

But Shreya thought learning to cook was not so important. Besides, she was not good at it so she was not active. But anyway, she should follow her mother, she thought. Shreya went to the kitchen and watched her mother cooking Margherita, which was her favorite food. Her mother’s hands moved skillfully, measuring the ingredients (配料) with practiced ease. “The secret is to let the ingredients mix properly,” her mother explained. That night, Shreya attempted for the first time. The kitchen smelled wonderful, but the taste was… off. She said sadly, “No dish I put together will taste as good as what my mother cooks.” She thought cooking was too hard for her and decided to give up, thinking that she could depend on dining in a canteen in university. Then one day, she visited her grandmother, whose kadju curry always tasted so good. Besides, Shreya really enjoyed listening to her grandmother’s gentle words. Her grandmother insisted on teaching her, saying, “Cooking isn’t just about food; it is about valuable memories. Besides, kadju curry is much easier than your mother’s Margherita. I’m sure you can make it.” She handed her hand-written recipe book to Shreya so that Shreya could also take notes. While her grandmother worked, she wrote everything in the recipe book. She noticed the care in every step. The potatoes were cut just right, the yogurt added slowly, and the spices bloomed (绽放) in perfect harmony. “See, Shreya?” her grandmother said. “It’s not just about the recipe. It’s about the love you put into it.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Armed with this wisdom, Shreya tried making kadju curry. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the recipe book in hand, Shreya boarded the plane. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 1 Food for Thought（较难版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What does the man mean?

C．4. 【答案】17．B 18．A 19．C 20．A 【原文】 W: Good afternoon childhood obesity has been receiving increasing attention in recent years. It’s no big secret that children like sweets, snacks and fast food. Fast food restaurants make fatty meals even more popular by including toys. However, there are healthy foods that children can enjoy just as much as other choices. Apple sticks dipped in butter are a delicious choice for midday snacks. Following the suggestions in the food pyramid is an easy way to make sure that a child has all of the nutrition he or she needs. My second suggestion is exercise. Going for a bike ride, taking a walk around the neighborhood or running around the playground are all fun ways for children to get out and get moving. Fitness for kids is very different to fitness for adults. While adults often have a strong will to force themselves to exercise, kids usually would much rather sit in front of the television and watch their favorite cartoons. It is important to make things fun, to get a child’s attention and cultivate their interest. Finally, it is extremely important for overweight children to stick to a healthy lifestyle. Eating healthy foods and making fitness for kids a fun experience can help get children on the right track to a healthier lifestyle. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Tired of the same old drink? Try some new recipes approved by seasoned barista (咖啡师) that are unofficially on the menu. If you are searching for a new flavor combination or a unique drink order, this is for you.

The Sugar Cookie Mocha Frappuccino is a perfect blend of icy and sweet, providing a nice sugar rush for anyone looking for a sweet treat.(如果你嗜甜如命，那这款饮品就是为你量身打造的。糖饼干摩卡星冰乐完美融合了冰爽与甜蜜，为那些寻找甜食慰藉的人提供了一场美妙的糖分盛宴。)”可知，糖饼干摩卡星冰乐可能适合喜爱甜食的人。故选B。 23．推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you need to use up your Dining Dollars before the end of the semester, try one of these.(如果你需要在学期结束前用完你的餐饮券，不妨试试这些。)”可知，本文很可能来自于一个校园网站。故选D。 There’s always one nonexistent friend in the group chat, loitering in the background, whose contribution to the chat remains minimal, if not extinct. That friend is me. As long as I can remember having a phone, I’ve been a terrible replier. The phrase “Sorry I missed this” became my go-to line. When a new group chat is created, the members will always come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question within hours. But I’m not terrible at replying to everyone. I pride myself on quick responses to work emails, my manager, and my mom — she even says, “I feel privileged to be on my daughter’s quick list.” To friends, I say, “Call me instead.” They know if it’s urgent, I’ll pick up right away. But if I mark a message as “non-urgent,” it’s a different story. Group chats are even harder: conversations move so fast that missing just five minutes means I’m behind on 67 messages about parties, movies or dates. Once, I set aside 15 minutes to respond to friends’ texts. But by the time I responded, they had messaged back. And I filed those new messages as non-urgent again. All of this was like message quicksand. Recently, I asked Billy about my bad texting. He’s that one friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugarcoated truth: “You take 3-5 days to reply if we’re lucky.” Ouch — but probably not wrong. Then he added, “But you always show up, never cancel, and drive 40 minutes to see us.” Now I think about our group roles — the chatty one, the caller, the non-responder. All contribute and express love in different ways. As I write this article, I wonder if my terrible texting could be a sign of my old age? Or I’m just bad at replying to messages? There’s a lot to think about — and I can promise you this thinking will take my attention away from the 219 messages I haven’t answered yet. 24．(0分)What can be inferred about the author as a responder from paragraphs 2 and 3? A．She feels stressed to reply. B．She puts the vital first. C．She prefers calling to texting. D．She fails to reply to friends. 25．What does the underlined word “quicksand” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．A list often ignored. B．An endless cycle. C．A game of rapid replies. D．A tool for classification. 26．Why does the author mention Billy in paragraph 5? A．To show her friends are tolerant. B．To stress she’s made efforts in texting. C．To prove her texting habit causes problems. D．To show her texting doesn’t hurt her friendship. 27．What is the author’s tone? A．Humorous. B．Formal. C．Doubtful. D．Concerned. 【答案】24．B 25．B 26．D 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者回复消息很慢，但只优先回复重要的人，虽不擅长文字聊天却用行动维系友谊。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“As long as I can remember having a phone, I’ve been a terrible replier.(从我记得有手机开始，我就一直是个糟糕的回复者。)”和第三段中的“I pride myself on quick responses to work emails, my manager, and my mom — she even says, “I feel privileged to be on my daughter’s quick list.” To friends, I say, “Call me instead.” They know if it’s urgent, I’ll pick up right away. But if I mark a message as “non-urgent,” it’s a different story. (我为自己能快速回复工作邮件、经理和妈妈的消息而感到自豪——她甚至说：“能在我女儿的快速回复名单里，我觉得很荣幸。”我对朋友们说：“有事打电话给我吧。”他们知道，如果事情紧急，我会立刻接听。但如果我把一条消息标记为“不紧急”，那就是另一回事了。)”可知，作者会把重要的、紧急的事情优先处理。故选B项。 25．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Once, I set aside 15 minutes to respond to friends’texts. But by the time I responded, they had messaged back. And I filed those new messages as non-urgent again. All of this was like message quicksand.(有一次，我留出15分钟回复朋友的短信。但等我回复时，他们又发来了消息。而我又把这些新消息归为不紧急。这一切就像消息quicksand。)”可知，这是一种回复不完、不断循环的状态，因此quicksand指的是“一种无休止的循环”。故选B项。 26．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Then he added, “But you always show up, never cancel, and drive 40 minutes to see us.”(然后他补充道：“但你总会出现，从不爽约，还会开40分钟的车来看我们。”)”可知，作者提到Billy是为了表明自己不擅长发消息的习惯并没有伤害到友谊。故选D项。 27．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“As I write this article, I wonder if my terrible texting could be a sign of my old age? Or I’m just bad at replying to messages? There’s a lot to think about — and I can promise you this thinking will take my attention away from the 219 messages I haven’t answered yet.(当我写这篇文章时，我在想我糟糕的短信回复能力是不是我年纪大了的标志？还是我就是不擅长回消息？有很多事情要思考——而且我可以向你保证，这种思考会让我的注意力从还没回复的219条消息上移开。)”可知，作者用轻松自嘲的方式讲述自己的情况，语气幽默。故选A项。 （本题10分）Scientists have long been studying the brain with a goal of aiding healthier aging. While much is known about risk factors in speeding up brain aging, less has been uncovered to identify ways to reduce cognitive (认知的) decline. There is evidence that nutrition matters, and a new study shows specific nutrients (营养物质) may play a vital role in the healthy aging of the brain. The team of scientists from the University of Illinois, led by Aron Barbey, enrolled 100 volunteers aged between 65 and 75, looking for connections between certain diets and slower brain aging. These participants completed a questionnaire with measures of physical fitness. Blood sample was collected to analyze the nutrient biological markers: a more scientific evidence for what these elderly individuals were eating and drinking. Participants also underwent cognitive assessments and brain imaging. Analysis of this large set of measures revealed two types of brain aging among the participants - accelerated (加速的) and slower-than-expected. Those with slower brain aging had distinct nutrient biological markers. It was associated with nutrient intake similar to what you would get from the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes plant-based foods, healthy fats, and minimally processed ingredients, offering numerous health benefits. Barbey noted that previous research on nutrition and brain aging has mostly relied on food frequency questionnaires, which are dependent on participants’ own recall. This study is one of the first and the largest to combine brain imaging, blood biological markers and cognitive assessments. “This allows us to build a robust understanding of the relationship between these factors. We move beyond simply measuring cognitive performance with traditional psychological tests,” Barbey says. The researchers will continue to explore the nutrient biological markers investigated in this study as it relates to healthy brain aging. Barbey said it’s possible, in the future, that the findings will aid in developing therapies and interventions to promote brain health. It’s possible that simple adjusts to what we eat could help cut down the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s. 28．(2.5分)What is the main focus of the new study? A．The biological process of brain aging. B．The risk factors in stimulating brain aging. C．The impact of healthy brain aging on the senior. D．The potential effect of nutrients on brain aging. 29．(2.5分)How did the scientists analyze the participants’ nutrient intake? A．By testing their blood samples. B．By taking cognitive assessments. C．By tracking their dietary habits. D．By doing psychological tests. 30．(2.5分)Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “robust” in paragraph 5? A．Abstract. B．Solid. C．Rough. D．Variable. 31．(2.5分)What is expected of the future research? A．It will provide valuable insights into the Mediterranean diet. B．It will develop a new assessment standard for brain health. C．It will recommend a fiber-rich diet to promote healthier brain aging. D．It will contribute to preventing and treating certain brain diseases. 【答案】28．D 29．A 30．B 31．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个关于营养物质和大脑健康之间的关系的研究，解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“There is evidence that nutrition matters, and a new study shows specific nutrients (营养物质) may play a vital role in the healthy aging of the brain. (有证据表明营养很重要，一项新的研究表明，特定的营养物质可能在大脑的健康衰老中起着至关重要的作用。)”可知，这项新研究的主要焦点是营养物质对大脑衰老的潜在影响。故选D。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“Blood sample was collected to analyze the nutrient biological markers: a more scientific evidence for what these elderly individuals were eating and drinking. (采集血液样本来分析营养生物标志物：这是这些老年人饮食的更科学的证据。)”可知，科学家通过测试血液样本分析参与者的营养摄入量。故选A。 30．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“We move beyond simply measuring cognitive performance with traditional psychological tests (我们超越了简单地用传统的心理测试来衡量认知表现)”可知，Barbey提到他们超越了简单地用传统的心理测试来衡量认知表现，说明这项研究让他们对这些因素之间的关系建立一个可靠、坚实的理解。故划线词意思是“可靠的、坚实的”，故选B。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s possible that simple adjusts to what we eat could help cut down the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s. (简单地调整我们的饮食可能有助于降低患阿尔茨海默病等疾病的风险。)”可知，未来的研究有望有助于预防和治疗某些脑部疾病。故选D。 （本题10分）Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reducing the risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks is have remained a mystery. In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system. A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years. But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans. “When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope.” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.” Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to aging and disease. “These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr. John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.” So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand. 32．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To explore the history of caffeine consumption. B．To identify how caffeine influences cell aging. C．To compare human cells with fission yeast cells. D．To find new use of caffeine in cell reproduction. 33．(2.5分)What does TOR serve as? A．A sign of aging. B．An energy source. C．A growth command center. D．A cellular fuel gauge. 34．(2.5分)What does John-Patrick suggest about the research? A．Possible direction for further research. B．Benefits of present applications. C．Characteristics of the research. D．Choice of new research methods. 35．(2.5分)What can be the best title for the text? A．AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long. B．Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch. C．The Yeast Model Unlocks Aging’s Hidden Pathways. D．Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．A 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了咖啡因如何通过影响细胞内的能量系统来减缓细胞衰老，并探讨了这一发现对未来健康研究的潜在影响。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(在一项针对裂殖酵母的新研究中，研究人员发现，咖啡因通过利用一种古老的细胞能量系统来影响衰老，裂殖酵母是一种与人类细胞惊人相似的单细胞生物)”可知，这项新研究的主要目的是确定咖啡因如何影响细胞衰老。故选B项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available.(TOR是一种生物开关，根据可用食物和能量的多少告诉细胞何时生长)”可知，TOR是细胞生长的指令中心，根据可用食物和能量的多少来告诉细胞何时生长。故选C项。 34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.(它们为未来的研究开辟了令人兴奋的可能性，即我们如何通过饮食、生活方式或新药物更直接地改变这些影响)”可知，John-Patrick的话指出了这项研究带来的潜在未来研究方向，即通过饮食、生活方式或新药物来更直接地改变咖啡因对细胞的影响。故选A项。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(在一项针对裂殖酵母的新研究中，研究人员发现，咖啡因通过利用一种古老的细胞能量系统来影响衰老，裂殖酵母是一种与人类细胞惊人相似的单细胞生物)”可知，文章介绍了一项科学研究，揭示了咖啡因通过激活细胞内的AMPK能量监测系统，进而影响细胞生长、DNA修复和应激反应，这些都与延缓衰老和促进长寿有关。同时，文章结尾“So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand.(所以，下次你去拿咖啡的时候，你所做的可能不仅仅是提高你的注意力——你还可以帮助你的细胞)”将这一发现与日常饮用咖啡联系起来。B项“Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch.(你的晨间咖啡可能触发一个长寿开关)”既形象地体现了核心机制(激活AMPK)，又关联了咖啡这一日常饮品，准确且吸引人，适合作为标题。故选B项。 （本题12.5分）Spacesuits? Ready. Oxygen tanks? Ready. Water supplies? Ready. But wait, is there anything missing? Of course, food! When sending astronauts into the deep space, we must also pack their meals. However, how do they manage their diet in a zero-gravity environment? 36(2.5分) To begin with, nutrition is always the top priority. 37(2.5分) Offering them junk food like potato chips or sweet sodas would only harm their bodies and ruin the mission. 38(2.5分) If the meals provided taste terrible or remain the same day after day, astronauts might lose their interest in food and refuse to eat. Anyone who has tried to focus on a difficult task on an empty stomach knows how hard it is. That is why space scientists try their best to make sure astronauts eat well and regularly. Additionally, the weightless environment inside a spacecraft creates special requirements for space food. Food must be sealed tightly to prevent it from floating around. Loose liquids or small pieces of food could easily get into important instruments and cause serious damage. 39(2.5分) Imagine a sharp knife floating freely in the cabin; it could easily hurt someone. Finally, the total weight is another key factor. Every single gram on a spacecraft must be carefully measured to save fuel during the long journey. 40(2.5分) Instead, most space food is dried and packed in lightweight bags. When it is time for dinner, astronauts simply add hot water into the bags to bring the food back to life. Despite these strict rules, space food today is not as strange as you might think, and many dishes are quite similar to what we enjoy at home. A．Flavor and variety cannot be ignored either. B．It requires experts to consider several key factors. C．This is also why dangerous items are strictly limited. D．The solution lies in balancing nutrition and practicality. E．Fresh food with much water is unsuitable for spacecraft. F．It is a great challenge to make space food taste delicious. G．Eating healthy food keeps the astronauts in good condition. 【答案】36．B 37．G 38．A 39．C 40．E 【导语】文章主要叙述了如何为太空上的宇航员准备食物。 【详解】36．根据上文“However, how do they manage their diet in a zero-gravity environment?(然而，他们在零重力环境下如何管理饮食？)”和下文对管理食物方面的建议可知，选项B. It requires experts to consider several key factors.(这需要专家考虑几个关键因素。)中的It指代上文所提出的问题，同时引出下文要考虑的因素，承上启下。 37．根据上文“To begin with, nutrition is always the top priority.(首先，营养始终是首要考虑因素。)”和下文“Offering them junk food like potato chips or sweet sodas would only harm their bodies and ruin the mission.(给他们提供薯片或甜汽水等垃圾食品只会损害他们的身体并破坏任务)”可知，空处应该强调提供有营养的食物的必要性，故选项G. Eating healthy food keeps the astronauts in good condition.(吃健康的食物能让宇航员保持良好的状态。)说明了吃健康食物的好处和意义，符合语境。 38．空处为第三段的主题句，根据上一段的“To begin with, nutrition is always the top priority.(首先，营养始终是首要考虑因素。)”和下文“If the meals provided taste terrible or remain the same day after day, astronauts might lose their interest in food and refuse to eat.(如果提供的餐食难以下咽或日复一日毫无变化，宇航员可能会对食物失去兴趣并拒绝进食。)”可知，该段在上一段的基础上，补充说明了提供给宇航员的食物要考虑到味道和多样性，故选项A. Flavor and variety cannot be ignored either.(味道和多样性也不可忽视。)总结了该段大意，与上一段衔接。 39．根据上文“Additionally, the weightless environment inside a spacecraft creates special requirements for space food.(此外，宇宙飞船内的失重环境对太空食品提出了特殊要求。)”和下文“Imagine a sharp knife floating freely in the cabin; it could easily hurt someone.(想象一把锋利的刀在太空舱内自由漂浮；它很容易伤到人。)”可知，空处应说明刀具这样的危险物品在宇宙飞船内是受到严格管控的，故选项C. This is also why dangerous items are strictly limited.(这也是危险物品受到严格限制的原因。)说明了宇宙飞船的特殊要求是限制危险物品的原因，语意衔接合理。 40．根据上文“Every single gram on a spacecraft must be carefully measured to save fuel during the long journey.(宇宙飞船上的每一克重量都必须精确计算，以在漫长的旅程中节省燃料。)”和下文“Instead, most space food is dried and packed in lightweight bags.(相反，大多数太空食品都是经过脱水处理并装在轻便的袋子里的。)”可知，空处应该指出未经过脱水处理的食品因重量过重，并不适合宇宙飞船；选项E. Fresh food with much water is unsuitable for spacecraft.(水分多的新鲜食物不适合宇宙飞船。)表明了水分多的新鲜食物因未经过脱水处理，所以重量上不适合宇宙飞船，承接上文；而下文提出了大多数太空食品都不是水分多的新鲜食物，而是经过脱水处理的并装在了轻便的袋子里，这样可以减轻重量，两句意思相反，符合Instead“反之”的连接关系，语意合理。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）The Ivory Towers of Ice-cream What is the most popular food in the world? Ice-cream, of course. How to sell more ice-creams? Carpigiani, an Italian firm that makes ice- cream 41 , has a better business plan. It is going into 42 . Its home market has consumed as many ice- creams as possible. Italy already boasts 37, 000 makers making gelatos — handmade Italian ice- creams. Since there are only so many scoops of ice-creams one nation can eat, 43 are now 80% of Carpigiani’s business. Unfortunately, most foreigners have no idea how to 44 a gelato. So Carpigiani has 45 Gelato University to teach them. In well-lit classrooms and shiny kitchens in Anzola dell’ Emilia, near Bologna, where Carpigiani has its factory, 46 from Russia, Belgium, Colombia, Japan, Britain and Turkey are 47 the secrets of selecting the perfect ingredients and freezing them. Lawrence Fama, a retired chemical engineer, hopes to start an 48 shop in his home city of San Francisco. Corrado Barberis, an Italian economist, aims to take the real 49 to Lille in northern France. Most teaching is done 50 : Gelato University mainly holds 51 in countries such as America, Australia and China. Andrea Cocchi, Carpigiani’s managing director, sees the best growth 52 in Asia and South America. A week’s course in Anzola dell’ Emilia costs students €900. There is a sweetener, however: a €900 voucher (代币券) for Carpigiani machines. Gelato University is not just making the world a cooler place, it is also a 53 tool, and a rather cost-effective one.

But Shreya thought learning to cook was not so important. Besides, she was not good at it so she was not active. But anyway, she should follow her mother, she thought. Shreya went to the kitchen and watched her mother cooking Margherita, which was her favorite food. Her mother’s hands moved skillfully, measuring the ingredients (配料) with practiced ease. “The secret is to let the ingredients mix properly,” her mother explained. That night, Shreya attempted for the first time. The kitchen smelled wonderful, but the taste was… off. She said sadly, “No dish I put together will taste as good as what my mother cooks.” She thought cooking was too hard for her and decided to give up, thinking that she could depend on dining in a canteen in university. Then one day, she visited her grandmother, whose kadju curry always tasted so good. Besides, Shreya really enjoyed listening to her grandmother’s gentle words. Her grandmother insisted on teaching her, saying, “Cooking isn’t just about food; it is about valuable memories. Besides, kadju curry is much easier than your mother’s Margherita. I’m sure you can make it.” She handed her hand-written recipe book to Shreya so that Shreya could also take notes. While her grandmother worked, she wrote everything in the recipe book. She noticed the care in every step. The potatoes were cut just right, the yogurt added slowly, and the spices bloomed (绽放) in perfect harmony. “See, Shreya?” her grandmother said. “It’s not just about the recipe. It’s about the love you put into it.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Armed with this wisdom, Shreya tried making kadju curry. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the recipe book in hand, Shreya boarded the plane. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Armed with this wisdom, Shreya tried making kadju curry. When the curry was done, she held her breath as she tasted it. It was close to the one her grandmother made. She felt very happy. As Shreya prepared to leave for university, her mother handed her a small box. Inside was her grandmother’s handwritten recipe book, now filled with Shreya’s own notes. “Take this with you,” her mother said softly. “Whenever you miss home, you can make a little piece for yourself.” With the recipe book in hand, Shreya boarded the plane. Week in and week out, she began to miss her grandmother’s kadju curry. So she took out the recipe book and started to cook, with care and love. She made it! She shared her food with her friends. As they tasted, their faces lit up with delight. “This tastes like home” one exclaimed. Shreya smiled, realizing the truth. Cooking was about sharing love and preserving memories. As she looked through her recipe book, she knew she was carrying the heart of her family with her. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了即将步入大学的什雷娅，在母亲劝说下尝试学做喜爱的玛格丽特披萨却失败，便想放弃。后来在祖母教导下学做咖喱，领悟到烹饪的真谛是倾注爱与留存回忆。她成功做出美味咖喱，带着写满笔记的祖传食谱入学，通过做菜分享爱、慰藉思乡情。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“凭借这份智慧，什雷娅尝试制作了kadju咖喱”可知，第一段可描写什雷娅成功做出美味咖喱，带着写满笔记的祖传食谱入学。 ②由第二段首句内容“拿着食谱本，什雷娅登上了飞机”可知，第二段可描写什雷娅通过做菜分享爱、慰藉思乡情。 2.续写线索：什雷娅尝试做咖喱——制作成功——带着食谱入学——做菜分享爱——什雷娅感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①品尝：taste/savour ②前往：leave for/depart to ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①高兴：happy/delighted ②爱：love/affection 【点睛】[高分句型1] When the curry was done, she held her breath as she tasted it.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] As she looked through her recipe book, she knew she was carrying the heart of her family with her.（运用了as引导时间状语从句，省略了that的宾语从句） 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。You said you're on a diet.

Childhood obesity has been receiving increasing attention in recent years. It's no big secret that children like sweets, snacks and fast food. Fast food restaurants make fat meals even more popular by including toys. However, there are healthy foods that children can enjoy just as much as other choices. Apple sticks dipped in butter are a delicious choice for midday snacks. Following the suggestions in the food pyramid is an easy way to make sure that a child has all of the nutrition he or SHE needs. My second suggestion is exercise, going for a bike ride, taking a walk around neighborhood or writing around the playground are all fun ways for children to get out and get moving. Fitness for kids is very different to fitness for adults. While adults often have a strong will to force themselves to exercise, kids usually would much rather sit in front of the television and watch their favorite cartoons. IT is important to make things fun, to get a child's attention and cultivate their interest. Finally, IT is extremely important for overweight children to stick to a healthy lifestyle, eating healthy foods and making fitness for kids a fun experience can help get children on the right track to a healthier lifestyle.
