Potassium sorbate(山梨酸钾) is a tasteless salt, primarily known for its role as a preservative(防腐剂) in food and drinks. Researchers have spent the last 50 years studying potassium sorbate as a food preservative, and their findings 31 (confirm) its safety. This preservative is commonly found in a variety of food and drinks, including baked goods, canned fruit and yogurt. 32 makes potassium sorbate so popular is that it does not change a product's taste, smell, or appearance. In addition, the preservative dissolves easily in water, 33 allows it to work effectively at room temperature.
34 food, this chemical is used in personal care items as an antimicrobial (抗菌剂) and preservative. It is also approved for use in cat and dog food, as well as in other animal feed. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), labels potassium sorbate as“generally regarded as safe” 35 it does not build up in the body when consumed. Instead, it is simply broken down into water and carbon dioxide. While normal dietary intake is considered safe, very high doses may raise concerns. In 2015, the EFSA set a temporary acceptable daily intake of 3 mg per kg of body weight per day. This limit . (untroduce) in response to concerns regarding developmental issues seen in animal studies. In experiments, rats 37 (give) 300 mg per kg per day showed to harmful effects. The EFSA thus set a standard which is 100 times lower for human safety.
3
Although it is not poisonous in 38 , potassium sorbate added to food can sometimes be polluted with harmful substances like heavy metal during production, 39 presence can lead to health risks. Thus, it's a good idea to read the labels carefully when you are hesitating to choose food. You might also consider 40 (reduce) your intake of processed foods to lower your exposure to these additives.

Youth are bringing cities to life
A new marketing trend has arisen in China, driving crowds to places recommended on social media by young adventurers. These explorers not only 41 hidden gems but also help to put them on the map.
Young people are natural explorers, but their true power lies in how they share their experiences. When they discover something exciting, like the perfect dumpling or a breathtaking mountain view, they don't keep it to themselves. Instead, they 42 it and post it on social media, where it can create a ripple effect. Vivid descriptions, mouth-watering food shots, or snippets of adventures inspire followers, leaving them 43 to experience these places first-hand. Lesser-known cities thus become overnight sensations, and once quiet locations are quickly abuzz with visitors. This trend creates great opportunities for cities and travellers 44
That's the power a post, picture or video on social media can have. Many young travellers now plan trips entirely based on 45 from platforms like Xiaohongshu or Douyin. They search for the coolest spots, the best eats and the most beautiful backdrops.
However, with great power comes great responsibility. While the passion of youth is 46 , it also brings challenges. Traffic jams, safety risks, and pressure on bike-sharing services have all highlighted the 47 of unchecked enthusiasm. This serves as a reminder that viral trends need to be managed thoughtfully.
By using social media wisely— sharing 48 , respecting local communities and thinking ahead— our intrepid (无畏的) adventurers can drive positive change. Their posts can· breathe new life into hidden destinations, turning them into cultural hotspots while helping to 49 what makes them special. With creativity and care, these unexpected social media marketers can 50 the future of travel, one click, like and share at a time.

Section A (15%)

Cover letters are no longer important
Cover letters seem like a lost art when it comes to applying for jobs in this digital world. They are becoming less of a 51 and more of an option.
52 application processes make it easier for many candidates to apply, which sometimes means many more applications need to be sorted through berare decisions are made. This may be a reason why a cover letter doesn't hold the same value it used to and job seekers in many cases are 53 it. “Only a small percentage of applications we receive include cover letters, perhaps 10 percent,” says Tracy McShane-Wilson, executive director of talent acquisition at Grant ThorntonLLP, a US-based accounting firm.
54 , those who omit a cover letter, or deliver one with an obviously halfhearted effort, could be 55 an opportunity to set themselves apart from the crowd.
“You can generally tell when a candidate is very 56 about a particular position or the organization, as he will take more time to study and then express why the role or organization fits well within his own professional goal and passion in a cover letter,” says Valerie Keels, head ofD. C. Office Services for Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance.
A well-written cover letter could be the 57 between getting your foot in the door and getting the response letter from a company telling you that those in charge of hiring are 58 with your qualifications but have decided to pursue other candidates at this time.
“The number of applicants has increased significantly over time, due to the greater 59 of information about open roles through job sites and social media,” says Wilson. Given the amount of competition, she and other hiring managers say putting a little effort into composing a thoughtful cover letter could go a long way.
For one, it tells a hiring manager how interested you are in the position you' re applying for. “If you are the type of person that is 60 engaged and takes the time to write a cover letter, then you' re probably also the type of person that cares about making sure that it is well-written, informative and 61 ,” explains Wilson.
Including a cover letter also tells a lot about a candidate's most basic communication skills. Andrea Alaimo is the director of human resources at US-based logistics firm Redwood Logistics. She points out that 62 she is not the only person involved in the hiring process, and thus not the only one 63 have to impress if they want to make it to the next round of the hiring process.
“In the end, each hiring manager 64 how important mastery of the written word is for the role they are seeking to fill, but confirming good written communication skills can only help our review of a person's total communication skills, from traditional writing skills to today's 65 communication methods,” she says.

(A)
In winter, Harnmerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and fierce winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.
I wanted to see the Northern Lights. Bus now as I picked my way through Osto in la te December,I was beginning to have my doubts.
Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn't find a taxi and had to drag my overweight bag eight blocks to the central bus station. I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveler's cheques to pay the 1,200-kroner bus fare— they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Brvson on my traveler's cheques were both me— and now here I was arriving at the station. two minutes before departure, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.
“This isn't happening,” I said. “I'm still at home in England enjoying Christmas.” Actually, I said, “There must be some mistake. Please look again.”
The girl studied the passenger list. “No, Mr. Bryson, your name is not here.”
But I could see it, even upside-down. “There it is, second from the bottom.”
“No,” the girl decided, “that says Bernt Bjornson. That's a Norwegian name.”
“It doesn't say Bernt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at the y, the two l's. Miss, please,”
6
But she wouldn't have it.
“If I miss this bus, when does the next one go ”
“Next week at the same time.”
Oh, splendid.
“Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson.”
“No, it doesn't.”
“Miss, look, I' ve come from England. I'm carrying some medicine that could save a child's life.” She didn't buy this. “I want to see the manager.”
“He's in Stavanger.”
“Listen,I made a reservation by telephone. If I don't get on this bus, I'm going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century.” This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. “If this Bernt Bjornson doesn't show up, can I have this seat ”
“Sure.”
Why don't I think of these things in the first place
“Thank you,” I said.

(C)
It's an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday My partner says no because the boiler could go, or the roof fall off, and we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what's the point if you can't go on holiday. The joy of a recession(经济衰退) means no argument next year — — we just won't go.
Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. AYouGov poll of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. What's less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession — financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable. Recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples. Disputes were characterized by intense verbal(言语上的) aggression, tended to be repeated and not resolved, and made men, more than women, extremely angry.
Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolizes, which may be different things to men and women. “People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it's for,” he explains. “They’ ll say it's to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they' ve achieved something.
“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other knows what's going on with their finances, but they don't. There seems to be more of a taboo(禁忌) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you' re doing, who's paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don't have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”

A. People enjoy it ai l the more auring a recession.
B. Few people can afford it without working hard.
C. It is the chief cause of family disputes.
D. It makes all the hard work worthwhile.

A. Money is considered to be the root of all evils.
B. Disputes over money may ruin a relationship.
9
C. Few people can resist the temptation of money.
D. Some people sacrifice their dignity for money.
76. The YouGov poll of 2,000 people indicates that in a recession .
A. couples show more concern for each other
B. it is more expensive for couples to split up
C. conflicts between couples tend to rise
D. divorce and separation rates increase
77. The author suggests at the end of the passage that couples should .
A. put their money together instead of keeping it separately
B. make efforts to reach an agreement on their family budgets
C. discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationship
D. avoid arguing about money matters to remain romantic
(D)
Parenting tips obtained from hunter-gatherers in Africa may be the key to bringing up more children, researchers have suggested. The idea is based on studies of communities such as the Kung of Botswana where each child is cared of by many adults. Kung children as young as four will help to look after younger ones and“baby-wearing”, in which infants are carried in slings(婴儿背带) is considered the norm.
According to Dr. Nikhil Chaudhary, an evolutionary anthropologist at Cambridge University, these practices, known as alloparenting, could lead to less anxiety for children and parents.
Dr. Annie Swanepoel, a child psychiatrist, believes that there are ways to incorporate them into western life. In Germany, one scheme has paired an old people's home with a nursery. The residents help to look after the children, an arrangement similar to alloparenting. Another measure could be encouraging friendships between children in different school years to mirror the unsupervised mixed-age playgroups in hunter-gatherer communities.
In a paper published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, researchers said that the western nuclear family was a recent invention which broke with evolutionary history. This sudden shift to an“intensive mothering narrative” which suggests that mothers should manage child care alone, was likely to have been harmful. “Such narratives can lead to maternal exhaustion and have dangerous consequences,” they wrote.
By contrast, in hunter-gatherer societies adults other than the parents can provide almost half of a child's care. One previous study looked at the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It found that infants had an average of 14 alloparents a day by the time they were 18 weeks old and were passed between care givers eight times an hour.
Chaudhary said that parents now had less childcare support from family and social networks than during most of humans’ evolutionary history, but introducing additional caregivers could reduce stress and maternal depression, which could have a“knock-on” benefit to a child’ s wellbeing. An infant born to a hunter-gatherer society could have more than ten caregivers— this contrasts sharply to nursery setting in the UK where regulations call for a ratio of one carer to four children aged two to three.
While hunter-gatherer children learnt from observation and imitation in mixed-age playgroups, researchers said that western“instructive teaching”, where pupils are asked to sit still, may contribute to conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (注意力缺陷多动障碍).

Chaudhary said that Britain should explore the possibility that older siblings helping their parents“might also enhance their own social development.”

A. encourage an attempt to facilitate intergenerational communication

A. They tend to fall short of official requirements.
B. They have difficulty finding enough caregivers.
C. They need to improve their carer-to-child ratio.
D. They should try to prevent parental depression.
