A new study finds that experimenting with skipping one meal each day enables your cells to recharge and use all the available fuel, which ensures insulin (胰岛素) function remains at its peak the next morning.
The research found that body weight, measured by body mass index (BMI), corresponds with when we eat and how often we eat. Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast, say not eating anything from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights. Those who ate more than three meals, or three meals plus snacks, had higher BMIs. Those who ate later in the day, after 6 pm, compared to those having the largest meal at breakfast or lunch, had higher body weights.
The Loma Linda University researchers assume that 18-hour overnight dietary fasts reboot our metabolism (新陈代谢) to help our bodies burn calories efficiently. Lead author Dr Hana Kahleova, director of clinical research at the nonprofit Physicians Committee, says this process ensures that our energy intake is related to energy output, instead of energy reserves. Contrary to popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help boost metabolic function. Kahleova also finds meals consumed in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in raised blood sugar. Like a clog (障碍) in a machine, extra glucose (葡萄糖) slows our bodies’ metabolic process down.
What does this mean to you Let’s say you consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day. Instead of splitting 500 to 600 calories evenly at each meal, you could experiment with eating 600 to 700 calories for breakfast, 600 to 700 calories for lunch and 300 to 400 calories for a light dinner. A more moderate application of this research may be to have big brunches or breakfasts instead of holiday dinners and evening birthday parties to support long-term weight maintenance.
24. What makes for the lowest BMIs according to the research
A. Starting an 18-hour overnight fast after a big breakfast.
B. Having a larger portion of breakfast plus snacks.
C. Eating three meals evenly on a regular basis.
D. Skipping breakfast and eating more at lunch and dinner.
25. What will Dr Hana Kahleova probably agree
A. Overnight fasts boost metabolism to lose weight efficiently.
B. The finding of the study is consistent with the common belief.
C. The process breaks the balance of energy intake and energy output.
D. Breakfast is more likely to increase blood sugar compared to dinner.
26. What can we learn from the research
A. We should adopt the fasting approach to the maximum.
B. We can continue holiday dinners and evening birthday parties.
C. It’s better to rearrange meals and consume more calories in the morning.
D. It’s worse to eat low-calorie meals and work out in the morning.
27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Can Skipping Dinner Help You Lose Weight
B. A New Lifestyle: Fast!
C. Can Fasts Slow Down Your Bodies’ Metabolic Process
D. The importance Of Maintaining a Healthy Body Weight
C
OpenAI on Monday announced its latest AI large language model, GPT-4o, an update from GPT-4. GPT-4o will be available to unpaid customers, meaning anyone can access OpenAI’s most advanced technology through ChatGPT. GPT-4o will turn ChatGPT into a digital personal assistant that can engage in real-time, spoken conversations and interact using text and “vision,” allowing it to view and discuss screenshots, photos, documents, or charts uploaded by users.
OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati said the updated version of ChatGPT will now also have memory capabilities, meaning it can learn from previous conversations with users, and can do real-time translation. “This is the first time that we are really making a huge step forward when it comes to the ease of use,” Murati said during the live demo from the company’s San Francisco headquarters. “This interaction becomes much more natural and far, far easier.”
This OpenAI event came one day ahead of Google’s annual I/O developer conference, at which it’s expected to announce updates to its Gemini AI model. Like the new GPT-4o, Google’s Gemini is also multimodal, meaning it can interpret and generate text, images and audio. OpenAI’s update also comes ahead of expected AI announcements from Apple at its Worldwide Developers Conference next month, which could include new ways of incorporating AI into the next iPhone or iOS releases.
OpenAI said more than 100 million people already are using ChatGPT. But an updated ChatGPT experience — and the ability to interact with it on desktop and through improved voice conversations — could give even more people reason to use its technology. The moves come at a time when integrations of AI into more widely used consumer products by Google and Meta, like Instagram and Google Assistant, may make those companies’ technology more widely and easily accessible.
28. What does OpenAI intend to achieve by releasing GPT-4o
A. Launch its latest update of GPT-4.
B. Develop new AI models into a digital personal assistant.
C. Make its most advanced technology more accessible.
D. Reduce competition with other AI companies.
29. What does the term “multimodal”" imply about the capabilities of GPT-4o
A. They can switch between different operating systems.
B. They can understand and generate multiple types of data.
C. The updated version of GPT now also has memory capabilities.
D. They offer various subscription plans for users.
30. How does OpenAI plan to differentiate GPT-4o from its competitors’ AI models
A. By reducing the cost of its technology for all users.
B. By focusing not solely on visual data processing.
C. By offering advanced features to unpaid customers.
D. By partnering with Google and Meta for joint developments.
31. What does the author suggest about the timing of OpenAI’s announcement relative to the Google I/O developer conference
A. OpenAI intentionally timed its announcement to overshadow Google’s event.
B. The announcement was delayed in order to gather more data from user feedback.
C. OpenAI was unaware of the timing of Google’s conference.
D. OpenAI expects AI announcements from Apple at its Worldwide Developers Conference.
D
The United Nations food agency is unable to feed most civilians in Rafah, its local director warned Friday, with most border crossings closed amid what he described as “apocalyptic (大灾难的) conditions” and the Israeli military pushing further into Gaza’s (加沙) southernmost city.
The World Food Programme (WFP) is currently serving only 27,000 people in Rafah, according to Matthew Hollingworth, the organization’s country director in Gaza. That’s a tiny proportion of the roughly one million Gazans who have been displaced from the area.
“The sounds, the smells, the everyday life are horrific and apocalyptic.” Hollingworth told journalists Friday after returning from a trip to Gaza. “People sleep to the sounds of bombing, they sleep to the sounds of drones, they sleep to the sounds of war, as now tanks roll into parts of central Rafah, which is only kilometers away.”
Rafah had previously been the central artery (干线) for aid to flow into Gaza, as the only border crossing not controlled by Israel. But since Israel seized control of the Gazan side of the Rafah crossing on May 7, aid has been blocked, with supplies piling up in Egypt and the critical path falling close to famine. “From the 7th of May to the 20th, not a single WFP truck crossed from the southern corridors of Egypt into Rafah,” he said.
Israel’s military has continued to push further into Rafah, defying international concern and anger over its operations in the city. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Friday that its troops were in central Rafah – confirming what eyewitnesses told earlier this week, when tanks were spotted there for the first time since it entered the city in May.
The IDF’s operations in Rafah have prompted a 67% drop in the amount of humanitarian aid getting through, according to the UN.
Gaza is now receiving a daily average of 58 aid trucks – down from the daily average of 176 trucks between April and May, which itself is far from the 500 trucks that used to enter Gaza each day before the war broke out in October.
Hollingworth added that the WFP’s warehouse in Rafah, which was once capable of storing 2,700 tons of food, is no longer operational.
“We do not have the supplies available to provide significant numbers of ready-to-eat ration boxes. We don’t have significant supplies of wheat flour to hand out to those families that have a stove to cook on,” Hollingworth said – but added they are providing around 400,000 hot meals to families in central Rafah.
32．What are the primary challenges faced by the World Food Programme (WFP) in providing aid to Rafah
A. The tiny proportion of the roughly one million displaced Gazans.
B. Inaccessibility due to closed border crossings and military operations.
C. Insufficient food supplies and international attention.
D. Intense local conflict and transportation difficulties.
33．Which word is close to the underlined word “famine”
A．Poverty. B．Starvation.
C．Conflict. D．Death.
34．What specific impact has the closure of the Rafah border crossing had on humanitarian aid delivery
A. International concern and anger arise over Israel’s operations in the city.
B. It has solved the 67% drop in the amount of humanitarian aid getting through.
C. Aid supplies are accumulating in Egypt and cannot reach Gaza.
D. WFP is providing around 400,000 hot meals to families in central Rafah now.
35．What attitude and mood does Matthew Hollingworth possess
A. Supportive and peaceful. B. Objective and indifferent.
C. Critical and sorrowful. D. Concerned and urgent

A Big Question: Can Explosive Ideas Start Small
Cai Guo-Qiang seeks grandness with emptiness
There’s so much in this life that we cannot control, so expressing your thoughts and ideas and ideals naturally can ease our state of mind. I look for the infinite within the very small. This is how the ancient Chinese experienced paintings and the aesthetic (美学的) experience. 36 It could be something that they hide in secret until it’s time to be displayed.
In the modern living room, you will display a work of art on the wall—your house may be full of different artworks that you can see and enjoy. 37 This is their museum—their collection. Over a conversation, the host will see where your interests lie and determine if you are worthy of a certain work—a painting of a Chinese landscape or calligraphy—and unroll a scroll in front of you, opening a whole world up to you. 38 Sharing an artwork with guests and friends is also the way the host experiences a work.
This is perhaps a bit opposed to what I look for in my work. I look for something grand in scale, but I also look for that emptiness too. 39 After the viewing, it’s rolled up and it’s empty again; but this emptiness also holds endless possibilities. Sometimes I consider my explosion projects like these scrolls. 40 What you hold in your mind is a world that’s limitless. Art doesn’t need to be verified. It doesn’t have to look like anything. Anything is possible.
—— Cai Guo-Qiang
Once it opens up the universe and around that, it seems boundless, but then it disappears.
In the traditional Chinese home, nothing decorates the walls, but next to the chair where the host will sit, there may be a large china vase with rolled scrolls sticking out.
The house or the wall becomes the home to the artworks collected by the host, which could be a painting, a poster, a portrait, etc.
In a way, the scroll is an essence of that emptiness.
It is only shown to people at the appropriate time and occasion, and to the right person.
Then, that grandness unfolded as a scroll unrolled.
Instead of these very large public displays that fill up a space, it tends to be quite small and personal.

67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Catherine had stayed at home all her life to look after her three children, but now, she, who lost her husband in a car accident, had to step out and earn money to make ends meet. With zero work experience and no professional degree, her chances of getting hired for a well-paid job were next to zero.
One day, after dropping her children at school, Catherine spotted a construction site. “I think I can work here,” she thought and approached the manager.
“Hi, are you hiring ” she asked. “Yes, we are,” the manager looked at Catherine from head to toe. “Are you sure you can work here This job requires a lot of hard work.” “I’m ready for it,” she told the manager and signed a contract to work a 12-hour shift.
However, Catherine kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site.
Every morning, after dropping her children to school, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One evening, Catherine’s son, Peter, told her about an upcoming contest in school that required mothers to participate. In the competition, students will wear blindfolds and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. “That sounds like such a cool event, Peter!” Catherine said excitedly. “I can’t wait for it!” “I won’t go there with you, mom,” Peter replied. “But why ” What her son said next was something Catherine wasn’t prepared to hear.
“Mom, I would have to touch your hands to recognize you, and everyone would look at them,” Peter explained. “Your hands are so ugly. They’re so hard and rough,” he added. “I will feel so embarrassed when my classmates look at your hands,” the boy said. “I won’t attend the event.” Catherine felt terrible but couldn’t say anything in her defense.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

Dear Fellow Students,
Recently, I've noticed that many of us seldom read English literature. This trend is concerning and deserves our attention.
Reading English literature offers numerous benefits. It enhances our language proficiency, broadens our cultural understanding, and stimulates our imagination. Besides, it also helps us develop empathy by exploring diverse human experiences through stories.
I strongly encourage everyone to start reading English literary works regularly. Whether it's a novel, a poem, or a short story, let's dive into the world of English literature and enrich our minds.
Best regards,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
A few weeks later, Peter was walking home when something unexpected caught his attention. On a construction site, a familiar short thin female figure was busy carrying heavy bricks among a group of men. She used her hands to pick up bricks one by one and arrange them in a pile so that she could move them. Sweat poured down her face, but she had no time to wipe it off. Peter’s eyes got wet. That’s her mother, who he thought would make him embarrassed in front of others. Seeing the surprising scene, he had mixed feelings and ran off.
Paragraph 2:
On his way back home, he kept thinking about how he would apologize to his mother. He came into the kitchen, where Catherine was preparing dinner, words failing him. Catherine noticed him stand still and then asked curiously, “What’s the matter, Peter ” With a deep breath, Peter said, “I’m sorry, Mom. You have always been looking after us while I have made you sad.” Catherine smiled, and now she knew that Peter had already found her secret, saying, “That’s OK, son. But I really hope you will participate in that contest.” “Of course, I want to let everyone watch my mom’s hands. I really feel proud of it!” Peter said firmly.
