第一节 阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When Lola, the pet dog that had accompanied me for 14 years, passed away, I felt a part of me had died with her. The grief (悲痛) I felt was terrible, and I was desperate for a change. So, I left my familiar life behind and signed up to study Portuguese in Brazil. But my grief followed me across the ocean.
While walking on the street one day, I saw a dog squeeze (挤) into a hole in a building. I went over and discovered that the dog had just given birth to some puppies, several already dead. I called the fire department, but no one helped. Then I called an animal protector friend. After many failed attempts, we finally got the puppies out.
I held the sweet puppies in my hands and saw the mama dog’s relieved face as I brought them to her one by one. I instantly felt an incredible bond with this family and promised to do my absolute best to find them great homes. I didn’t know it at the time, but that was the day I became an animal protector.
Since then, I’ve rescued over 15 animals, mostly dogs. I began rehoming them with “adopt me” shirts at shopping malls—and it worked! I kept close contact with adopters, including a home visit after one year. But the love I gave was nothing compared to the love I received. Each life I saved helped me put pieces of my broken heart back together.
I now have three dogs of my own, including Bambi — one of the first rescued puppies. I had told myself I could never own another dog again after Lola, but with Bambi, something clicked. I hadn’t felt that much love and connection since Lola died. Rescuing animals has helped me process my grief. I’ve found a new sense of identity and purpose beyond my life.
1. What caused the author to go to Brazil
A. The urge to seek a new pet. B. Her will to rescue animals.
C. Her desire to learn Portuguese. D. The wish to relieve her pain.
2. What can we learn about the author’s rescue of the puppies
A. It initiated her efforts to protect animals.
B. It involved support from local authorities.
C. It helped her bond with like-minded people.
D. It showed her the tough situation of animals.
3. What does the underlined part in paragraph 5 tell us about the author
A. She began to forget about Lola. B. She felt a connection with Bambi.
C. She decided to adopt more dogs. D. She would continue rescuing dogs.
B
What if someone told you mermaids (美人鱼) were real Forget the fish tails, we mean women capable of holding their breath for minutes as they dive under the sea many times a day.
These are the haenyeo divers of South Korea, a community of women from Jeju Island who have been free-diving to harvest seafood for centuries. Their stories are shared with the world by the US-Korean film-maker Sue Kim, in her film The Last of the Sea Women.
The film follows the women going about their grueling work during the harvest season and examines the challenges they face both in and out of the water. They head out to dive at 6 am daily. They hold their breath for a couple of minutes, come back up to the surface and go back down again-about 100 times a session.
The risks are big. There is no insurance available for the job, as it’s too dangerous. And now the ocean — and the women’s livelihood — is under threat. Global warming is resulting in less sea life, particularly in shallow water; diving deeper is more difficult without air tanks (罐).
Perhaps the bigger threat, though, is from within, with fewer younger women choosing to pursue this difficult profession. A training school was set up in the early 2000s to address the decreasing numbers, but only 5% of those attending go on to become haenyeos.
All is not lost, though. The film introduces us to two young women from another island who have gained popularity on social media and point out the flexible hours the job can offer. One of them even started learning to swim at the age of 30 to do the job.
“When I look at the haenyeos and how they work together, it just reminds me of the collective work that women are doing everywhere else,” says Sue Kim, “When a girl is watching this documentary, I want her to believe in herself and realize that she can do anything.”
4. What does the underlined word “grueling” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Dull. B. Creative. C. Rewarding. D. Demanding.
5. What is one challenge that haenyeos are facing
A. Lack of pre-job training. B. Low willingness to take the job.
C. The high cost of air tanks. D. The decreasing demand for seafood.
6. The author mentions the two young women in paragraph 6 to show ______.
A. hope for the profession B. the role of social media
C. the influence of the film D. qualifications for the job
7. What could be the best title for the text
A. Haenyeo: An Overlooked Profession
B. Women Power: You Can Do Anything
C. The Last Sea Women: Courage in the Deep
D. Global Warming: A Great Risk for Haenyeos
C
Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons (神经元) in the brainstem of mice that order the animals to stop eating.
“These neurons are unlike any other neuron involved in regulating appetite,” says Alexander Nectow, who led the research in the Nectow lab. “Other neurons in the brain are usually restricted to sensing food put into our mouth, or how food fills the gut (肠道). The neurons we found are special in that they seem to integrate all these different pieces of information and more.”
Previous researchers had found the decision-making cells are located in the brainstem, but the research ended there. With new single-cell techniques, Nectow’s team spotted previously unrecognized cells that had similar characteristics to other neurons involved in regulating appetite.
To study what these cells are sensing to kick them into action, the researchers measured their activity as the mice went about their day. “Essentially these neurons can smell food, see food, feel food in the mouth and in the gut, and interpret all the gut hormones (荷尔蒙) that are released in response to eating,” Nectow says. “And ultimately, they use all of this information to decide when enough is enough.”
Next, the researchers used a technique called optogenetics, which involves editing the neurons so they could be switched on and off with light. When they used light to activate them, the mice slowed down their eating.
Though the specialized neurons were found in mice, Nectow says their location in the brainstem, a part of the brain that is essentially the same in humans, suggests that it is highly likely that humans have the same neurons. “We think it’s a major new entry point to understanding what it means to be full, how that comes about, and how that is used to end a meal,” Nectow adds. “And we hope that it could be used for obesity (肥胖症) treatment down the road.”
8. What is unique about the newly discovered neurons
A. They affect appetite. B. They sense the food.
C. They act on combined information. D. They have an impact on other neurons.
9. What is mainly discussed about the specialized neurons in paragraph 4
A. What they sense. B. How they function.
C. Why they are studied. D. How they detect signals.
10. What does Nectow think of the new finding
A. It offers potential solutions to obesity. B. It explains the science of appetite.
C. It maps new neurons in the human brain. D. It unlocks the mystery of brainstem.
第二节 语句排序（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
11. 将下列语句(A、B、C、D和E)按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A. So, the phone box is becoming a thing of the past. Poor Clark Kent will have to find somewhere else to change!
B. Besides, anyone who happens to leave their mobile phone at home will still have no use for a phone box because they are unlikely to remember the number they want to call.
C. And even if we could remember a number and needed to call it urgently it would still be more convenient to borrow a mobile from someone else than walk around looking for a phone box.
D. Where does Superman get changed these days In the comics and earlier films, Clark Kent would pop into a phone box to change into his Superman costume. But these days, phone boxes are hard to find.
E. The main reason for this is simply that we don’t need them anymore. Almost everyone these days carries a mobile phone with them. It is certainly more convenient to take out a mobile and make a call at the touch of a button than to press a series of long numbers on a telephone.
__________→__________→__________→__________→__________

____12____ If we do not provide technology access and training to older adults, we shut them out from society, worsening the loneliness among the elderly, which has been associated with depression, functional decline, and death.

B. Technology is surely significant to the society.
C. As one elder put it, “It’s time to catch up and join the world.”
