While core body temperature normally fluctuates only slightly within a single day,people suffering from fever may undergo wide daily temperature32,with peak values generally occurring in the late afternoon.Mild or moderate fever,which often brings weakness and exhaustion,is not in itself a 33_threat to human health,whereas severe high fever can trigger convulsions,a risk34 by extreme temperature spikes and even death. During a fever,increased sweating speeds up water loss,leaving blood and urine volumes reduced. When core temperature rises35,patients tend to experience chills and uncontrollable shaking, while a rapid temperature decline usually leaves them feeling warm with flushed and moist skin.Fever is essentially a defensive reaction36,by the body against invading germs.When bacteria or viruses damage body tissues,the immune system releases pyrogens,chemical substances transported via the bloodstream to the hypothalamus,the brain's temperature regulating center,37its normal regulatory function.These pyrogens mislead the hypothalamus into underestimating the actual body temperature,so the structure raises the temperature set point to initiate fever.Higher body heat promotes white blood cells to move and 38 to fight invaders and stimulates antibody production,and elevated temperature can also 39limit the growth of temperature sensitive microbes. When managing fever,identifying its underlying cause is critical.Although ancient physicians recognized fever's healing potential,modern researchers have not reached40 conclusions regarding its full biological mechanisms.Latest scientific findings reinforce fever's protective value,yet doctors warn against blind fever suppressing medication.

Involving 796 participants,Surrey's study puts forward a new classification system for internet addiction, which divides internet users into five distinct groups. Casual Users,who go online only for targeted tasks before logging off rapidly,exhibit no signs of addiction.Mostly older,they are the least eager to explore new mobile applications.Initial Users,though often staying onlinc longer than they have planned and occasionally neglecting household duties,do not regard themselves as addicts and hold only moderate interest in apps.Experimenters,feeling anxious when disconnected but relieved once re-connected,are more inclined to experiment with new apps and technology.Addicts-in-Denial,who display typical addictive patterns including forming online relationships and ignoring real-life responsibilities,nevertheless refuse to admit their discomfort in the offline state despite their high proficiency in mobile-technology operation.Lastly,Addicts openly acknowledge their addiction as well as its negative consequences,spending far more time online than Casual Users and feeling most confident when trying brand-new digital tools. Dr.Brigitte Stangl,lead author of the study,states that their primary objective is to draw a clear line between problematic internet use and genuine addiction.They bave discovered that younger individuals face higher addiction risks,a tendency that declines as people grow older.While emotional experiences can strongly predict users'future behaviour with augmented reality for all groups,action-oriented experiences such as website navigation or gaming barely matter for addicts. The research finds no correlation between gender and online conduct.Higher addiction levels correspond to greater confidence in mobile-technology use and stronger willingness to test new apps. These findings indicate that as intemet addiction worsens,users'comfort with emerging digital technologies rises accordingly.Dr.Stangl points out that the study stresses the necessity of customized support for pcople at different addiction stages,whose requirements will shape the design of digital services and AR applications to satisfy diverse user demands. 63.What is the main purpose of the University of Surrey's study according to the passage? A.To calculate average time people spend on the Internet B.To put forward a new system to sort internet users. C.To tell apart problematic use from real internet addiction. D.To promote the popularization of augmented reality. 64.The word "customized"in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to A.specially-adapted B.freely-provided C.widcly-accepted D.newly-invented 65.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Teenagers are less likely to develop intemet addiction. B.Addicts lack confidence when trying brand-new mobile apps. C.Higher addiction is associated with willingness to try new apps D.Gender serves as a key factor influencing people's online habits. 6 扫描全能王创建 66.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.However,Mixue's overseas stores sell different drink menus to satisfy local customers'tastes B.Low prices alone cannot account for Mixue's popularity in Chinese pop culture.

F.Mixue stated in its IPO papers that it would keep expanding,yet it foresaw risks from new outlets. Mixue:A Global Bubble Tea Giant on the Rise Pronounced ME-Schway,the Chincse company Mixue,which targets price-sensitive young consumers,operates outlets across Asia and Australia.Its ice cream and drinks sell for under S1.Its cute mascot looks like a mix of Frosty the Snowman and the Michelin Man.And its stores constantly blare a catchy jingle adapted from the tune of"Oh!Susanna."67 Affordable products belp it stand out.It features its signature ice-cream cone,various bubble tea drinks and a special lemonade that has made Mixue China's biggest purchaser of fresh lemons.Another advantage lies in its below-average franchising fees,which lower the barrier for small business owners to join its franchise network. 68 We can credit its huge popularity to the Snow King.This round,fluffy mascot,Snow King,has grown into a national icon on par with Ronald MeDonald and Colonel Sanders.Just as common is Mixuc's simple theme song.which is played nonstop in every store.The lyrics to the English version:"I love you.You love me.Mixue Ice Cream and Tea."However,customers occasionally voice complaints: 69” The brand has gained fast popularity among teenagers and young adults.It ended last year with 45,000 stores,according to research firm Technomic,after more than doubling its locations within three years.The company raised more than $400 million in an initial public offering(IPO)of its shares in Hong Kong on Monday.The stock closed 43%above its IPO price,giving Mixue a valuation of more than S10 billion.It has no intention of slowing its expansion and plans to keep opening new outlets in Southeast Asia and beyond.70 All these carefully planned moves,with potential challenges taken into account, firmly establish Mixue's status as a rising global player in the affordable beverage industry. Despite minor consumer complaints about its repetitive background music,Mixue's future remains bright,promising steady growth and deeper global influence in the highly competitive bubble tea market. 餐 扫描全能王创建 IV.Summary Writing Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main Idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible. Are communal online encyclopedias superior to traditional ones? Communal online encyclopedias represent one of the latest resources to be found on the Internet. They are in many respects like traditional printed encyclopedias collections of articles on various subjects. What is specific to these online encyclopedias,however,is that any Internet user can contribute a new article or make an editorial change in an existing one.As a result,the encyclopedia is authored by the whole community of Internet users.The idea might sound attractive,but the communal online encyclopedias have several important problems that make them much less valuable than traditional,printed encyclopedias. First,contributors to a communal online encyclopedia often lack academic qualification,thcroby making their contbuuons partially informed at best and totally inaccurate in many cases.Traditional encyclopedias are written by trained experts who suck to standards of academic rigor that non-specialists cannot really achieve. Second,even if the original entry in the online encyclopedia is correct,the communal nature of these online encyclopedias gives dishonest users,troublemakers,or hackers the opportunity to make up,delete, and alter information in the encyclopedia.Once changes have been made to the original text,an unsuspecting user cannot tell the entry has been interfered with.None of this is possible with a traditional encyclopedia. Third,the communal encyclopedias focus too frequently,and in too great a depth,on trivial and popular topics,which creates a false impression of what is important and what is not.A child doing research for a school project may discover that a major historical event receives as much attention in an online encyclopedia as,say,a single long-running television program.The traditional encyclopedia provides a considered view of what topics to include or exclude and contains a sense of proportion that online"democratic"communal encyclopedias do not.
