We are increasingly learning that our guts(肠胃) and our brains are intimately linked. But while there has been extensive research into how our diets can accelerate brain aging, less is known about the foods that can prevent cognitive ____43____.
“The ____44____ field of Nutritional Cognitive Neuroscience uncovers specific foods and nutrients that promote brain health across the lifespan,” Aron Barbey, director of the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, told Newsweek. “Central to this effort is the discovery of nutrient profiles that can be used in nutritional interventions ____45____ at enhancing brain health.”
In a new study, published in the journal Nature Aging, Barbey, Jisheng Wu, and Christopher Zwilling used state-of-the-art technology to establish a set of specific nutrient profiles associated with better cognitive performance in adults over the age of 65, offering a ____46____ path towards designing nutritional interventions to promote healthy brain aging.
The study involved 100 cognitively healthy participants aged 65 to 75. The analysis ____47____ two types of brain aging among the participants: accelerated and slower than expected. And those with slower brain aging had a distinct nutritional profile. The researchers said that this nutritional profile is closely linked with nutrients found in the Mediterranean diet, which has ____48____ been associated with healthy brain aging.
The Mediterranean diet is ____49____ by a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and olive oil, with a moderate intake of cheese and fish and a limited intake of red and processed meat. This study provides a more ____50____ analysis of these associations.
“First, it’s one of the largest and most comprehensive studies to use blood-based biomarkers to investigate the ____51____ between diet and brain health,” he said. “Second, it goes beyond traditional cognitive tests by employing multimodal neuroimaging measures, and provides a more complete picture of brain health.”
However, Barbey noted that further research was needed to confirm these results. Observational studies like this one need to be followed by controlled trials conducted ____52____ to confirm the effectiveness of the identified nutrient profile in promoting brain health.

(A)
A Pilgrimage to Mont Blanc
It was on a grey winter’s day in my parents’ house outside Glasgow that I first suggested Mont Blanc in summer. I knew I should make more effort to spend time with my 74-year-old dad, but what I was proposing at his age was a risk. A ten-day hike around one of Europe’s highest mountains seemed a little extreme.
“Old age doesn’t come alone,” he replied, implying the memory loss from a recent life-threatening stroke. Yet, to stir memory in long-forgotten footprints seemed like the right thing to do. We booked a flight, and four months later, arrived in the shadow of Mont Blanc in Chamonix, France.
That first sunlit afternoon, it was instantly obvious that we had made the right decision. The pathway ahead was quiet. Quick-footed hikers walked past us, eyes focused on a ridge (山脊) that marched south to the Italian border. But there was no sign of worry on my hiking partner’s brow. Only determination.
My dad’s accounts of his time in the mountains remain among the defining stories of my childhood. The first time it left its mark on me was when I uncovered a junk box full of projector slides taken in the summer of 1970, when he and two of his friends completed a previously untried route up the overwhelmingly dangerous North Face of the Eiger in Switzerland.
That was now more than half his lifetime ago. And, yet, here we were, marching side by side around the Mont Blanc, tracing an invisible route with our fingers over the same harsh summits he had conquered long ago. What I had always seen as an obsession with the mountains revealed itself to be a bond that I never knew we had.
By the end of the week, I sensed we may have achieved what we both had thought impossible. We made our final push towards the Col du Brévent above the Chamonix valley. We climbed up into a narrow world of stone, meeting Mont Blanc face on.
To capture the moment, I took a photo, but only then did it dawn on me that it was nearly the same composition as on a slide I had first seen in one of those junk boxes. There was that smile, those eyes fixed on the horizon, the beautiful Alpine ridges of Mont Blanc crowding out the background. For a split second, it looked as if nothing had changed.
According to the article, what mainly motivated the author to take his father on a hike around Mont Blanc
His father’s old age and poor health.
His father’s memory loss from a stroke.
C. His dream of traveling with his father again.
D. His wish to visit one of Europe’s highest mountains.
What can we learn about the hike around Mont Blanc from the article
A. They passed through three countries in ten days.
B. The author’s father was initially confident of doing it.
C. It changed the author’s attitude towards his father’s hobby.
D. It brought back the pleasant memories of the author’s father.
According to the article, which of the following best describes the author’s father
A. A hopeless patient. B. An adventurous climber.
C. A responsible father. D. An appreciative photographer.
What did the author realize after taking the family picture
A. It was never too late to accompany his father.
B. He and his father changed with time passing by.
C. Everything changes with time except the mountains.
D. The father’s passion for the mountains didn’t fade with age.
(B)
Is Light Dairy Better
There are always two choices on the shelf when we reach for the milk, cheese or yoghurt: normal or light. Less fat is better, right But what about the goodness that can be found in dairy — Is it all there in the reduced-fat version Five experts from various fields were asked if light dairy products were better for our health. Here are their detailed responses.
Caryl Nowson, Nutritionist
Switching from full-fat dairy products to low-fat reduces energy intake, thereby preventing weight gain as well as reducing saturated fat (饱和脂肪) intake. Consumption of saturated fat raises cholesterol (胆固醇) levels in the blood, which increases the risk of heart disease. So reducing saturated fat intake can assist in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Malcolm Riley, Epidemiologist
Light dairy products are great for people who want to lower their fat intake. They contain most of the nutritional benefits that can be found in full-fat dairy foods, despite containing 25 percent to 100 percent less fat than their regular dairy food equivalents. However, it is important to note that light dairy foods may be higher in some other nutrients, such as sugar. It always pays to read the nutrition tag and the ingredients list carefully.
Nicholas Fuller, Obesity Researcher
Both full-fat and low-fat dairy foods have the same benefits for our heart health. The most important thing is that a person includes dairy products in their diet, or suitable dairy-free alternatives that are calcium-enriched (富含钙质的), such as soy. Until we know for sure the effect of full-fat versus low-fat dairy on our weight and waistlines, people should stick with low-fat products as part of their daily eating plan.
Evangeline Mantzioris, Food Scientist
A recent study which followed people for 22 years found no negative link between heart health and dairy consumption — whether it is full-fat or low-fat dairy. So currently the evidence suggests that light dairy makes no difference in terms of our risk of heart disease and early death. For those who seek to manage their weight, the difference in energy intake may have a significant impact on their success.
Robyn Delbridge, Dietitian
Light dairy foods are not necessarily better than full-fat dairy foods. Overall, evidence supports the conclusion that dairy foods, regardless of fat content, involve a low risk of the potential harmful effects of high blood pressure. Fermented(发酵的)dairy such as yoghurt and cheese may be beneficial for heart health. The choice of full-fat versus that of low-fat foods should be made based on your whole diet pattern.
According to the article, ________ out of the five experts believed that light dairy products were better for our health.
A. one B. two C. three D. four
According to the article, ________ and ________ hold contrary opinions about the relationship between dairy products and heart health.
A. Caryl Nowson ... Nicholas Fuller
B. Nicholas Fuller ... Robyn Delbridge
C. Caryl Nowson ... Evangeline Mantzioris
D. Malcolm Riley ... Evangeline Mantzioris
What can we infer from the article
A. Nicholas Fuller recommended that we eat more soy than dairy.
B. Evangeline Mantzioris suggested that dieters stay away from full-fat foods.
C. Robyn Delbridge believed that people cannot benefit from full-fat products.
D. Malcolm Riley believed that all kinds of low-fat dairy products could help people stay fit.
(C)
“The world’s environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss.” If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog to global climate change, from …. The list would largely be accurate, the concern reasonable. Yet the students who should be given the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad.
After all, the world’s population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 (or1950, or indeed 1980), the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous.
But they don’t. The reasons why they don’t and why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, technological innovation, social change and government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why today’s environmental problems in the poor countries ought, in principle, to be solvable.
Raw materials have not run out, and show no sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet is a finite place. Yet it is also very big, and man is very intelligent. What has happened is that every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the material, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason, prices for energy and for minerals have virtually fallen during the century. The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate(波动), in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop technology. The long-term trend has been downwards.
It is where prices and markets do not operate properly that this sound trend begins to stumble(受挫), and the genuine problems arise. Markets cannot always keep the environment healthy. If no one owns the resource concerned, no one has an interest in conserving it or fostering it.
According to the author, why would most students tear the test paper apart
A. Because they find it challenging to answer the examination topic.
B. Because they maintain that the environment of the world is better than expected.
C. Because they feel the topic is against their knowledge of today’s environmental problems.
D. Because they have no idea about the current situation of global environment.
It can be inferred from the passage that the huge increase in world output and population ________.
A. has made the world a dangerous place to live in.
B. has significantly affected the environment.
C. has made the environment of poor nations unsolvable.
D. has played a minor role in affecting the environment.
According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE
A. There are few alternatives to raw materials in the world.
B. The long-term trend of prices for materials and food is downwards.
C. The price of energy fluctuates in response to change of food price.
D. Social stability can promote technological innovation.
According to the author, what is the primary solution to environmental problems
A. To allow market forces to operate properly.
B. To limit consumption of natural resources.
C. To control the growth of the world population.
D. To encourage technological innovation.
(D)
To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies. No child imitates every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example. Therefore, we must turn to a more subtle theory than “Monkey see, monkey do”.
Look at it from the child’s point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do.
There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to achieve his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message, he is told emphatically that such a screaming is unpleasant, that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly. Thus, the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly. One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response. Then other adults award some actions and criticize others. If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves.
In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wished to avoid. If the pupil wants to be good violinist, he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players.
Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations, imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success.
According to the passage, to teach a child to learn something, parents should _________.
A. follow the theory of imitation. B. set a good example for the child to copy.
C. simplify each action shown to the child. D. view from the child’s perspective.
Which of the following situation will lead a child to seek for a model
A. The child is blamed by parents for his/her wrongdoing.
B. The child is in trouble and cannot figure out an approach.
C. The child encounters a professional who can get the right result.
D. The child comes up with a solution to an issue.
It can be inferred that children usually imitate people __________________.
A. whose actions are consistent with theirs. B. who enjoy a high social status.
C. whose talent and skill are extraordinary. D. whom they want to be shaped into.
What is the passage mainly about
A. The factors determining children’s imitation.
B. The significance of learning by imitation.
C. The way children choose models.
D. The reason for parenting by imitation.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
The future won’t be perfect, but neither were the good old days. When a new invention is first made, its inventor has to test it through trial and error. Longing for the past and fear of the future discourage the experiments and innovations that drive progress. But we can never be certain we will solve the problems we are facing today. Psychologists say this kind of feeling is natural and sometimes even useful. Another reason is that historical nostalgia is often colored by personal nostalgia.
Why can’t we stop longing for the good old days
Why are human beings always so nostalgic(怀旧的) for past eras that seemed difficult and dangerous to those who lived through them One possibility is that we know we survived past dangers, so they seem smaller now. _____98_____. Radio didn’t ruin the younger generation, but maybe the smartphone will.
_____99_____. When were the good old days Was it, by chance, the incredibly short period when you happened to be young A U.S. poll found that people born in the 1930s and 1940s thought the 1950s was America’s best decade, while those born in the 1960s and 1970s preferred the 1980s.
This kind of nostalgia has neurological roots. Researchers have found that we encode more memories during adolescence and early adulthood than any other period of our lives, and when we think about the past, this is the period we most often return to. Moreover, as we grow more distant from past events, we tend to remember them more positively.
Obviously, some things really were better in the past. But our instinctive nostalgia for the good old days can easily deceive us, with dangerous consequences. _____100_____. Vaccination, steam engines, railroads and electricity all met with strong resistance when they were first introduced. The same kinds of anxieties have been expressed in our own time about innovations like the internet, video games and stem-cell research.
And not all fears about the future are unfounded. New technologies do result in accidents, they disturb traditional cultures and habits, and they destroy old jobs while creating new ones. But the only way to learn how to make the best use of new technologies and reduce risks is by trial and error. _____101_____.
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.
Cosmetic Surgeries Get Extreme
Everyone goes through it: poking at the eye bags and the loose skin in the mirror. It’s part of the human condition to fear ageing, but among the 20 and 30 something, there seems to be a heightened anxiety around growing older, coupled with an increasingly casual attitude towards getting Botox(肉毒素，用于除皱）compared with previous generations. In 2022, 27% of US patients receiving Botox were 34 or younger, compared with 21% in 2015, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery. The idea is to stop wrinkles before they start.
So why are we so desperate to pretend we’re not growing older For my generation, being perpetually online and scrolling through the lives of others must be a factor. It keeps us locked into a constant state of comparison. And in a time of economic uncertainty, millennials and gen Z are also unable to tick off traditional checkpoints of adulthood, so the idea that many alter their appearance to turn back the clock makes perfect sense to me. For women, our looks are aesthetic capital after all--and being beautiful can unlock social and professional success.
But these treatments often don’t come with warnings; it’s up to the consumer to research potential pitfalls(陷阱). Botched(粗制滥造的)cosmetic procedures among young people are on the rise, with too many treatments taking place in unregulated beauty salons and carried out by unqualified practitioners. Last month, three women in the US contracted HIV from a cosmetic procedures intended for the skin, when an unlicensed New Mexico medical clinic reused needles that should have been disposed of, which caused understandable alarm worldwide.
One friend who loves Botox said to me recently: “I can’t stay 28 for ever, but the aim is to look 28 forever.” I’m trying to reject the message that it’s wrong for women to look their true age. It can be hard to tune out the noise, but the alternative may mean a future damaged by self-doubt, expensive treatments or even regret. I think I’ll stick with the eye bags.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Hello, everyone. Today we will talk about how to keep food fresh through freezing.
We all know freezing can keep food fresh and safe to eat. The principle behind it is freezing lowers the food temperature below zero degrees Celsius. That is the point where water turns into ice. To start the freezing process, it is important to lower the temperature to between minus fifteen and minus twenty degrees Celsius as quickly as possible. Remember, the faster the freezing process, the fresher the taste of the food. Once the food is frozen, it should be placed in containers and then stored at a temperature of about minus twenty degrees Celsius. Most foods can be stored frozen for up to one year if kept properly.
Most freezers operate on electricity although some work with kerosene and even solar energy as power sources. One problem is how to protect frozen food if the power suddenly stops. Generally, frozen food can be left unfrozen for twenty-four hours before it must either be eaten or thrown away. In hot climates, the amount of time may be only a few hours. Once foods have been unfrozen, they should not be frozen again. There is a danger of food poisoning if food is frozen more than once.
Now listen again.
Questions
11. What should the temperature of the container be once the food is frozen
12. How long can most foods be stored frozen if kept well
13. Which statement is true according to the passage
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Nelson Mandela was the first black President of his country South Africa. He was born on 18 July, 1918 and died on December 6, 2013. He served as President of South Africa from 1999. He was the country’s first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, and the leader of the African National Congress’s armed wing. The South African courts convicted him on charges of sabotage, as well as other crimes committed while he led the movement against apartheid. In accordance with his conviction’s sentence, Mandela served 27 years in prison, spending many of these years on Robben Island.
Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela supported reconciliation and negotiation, and helped lead the transition towards multi-racial democracy in South Africa. Since the end of apartheid, many have frequently praised Mandela, including former opponents. In South Africa he is often known as Madiba, an honorary title adopted by elders of Mandela’s clan. Mandela received more than 250 awards over four decades, most notably the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize. In November 2009, the United Nations General Assembly announced that Mandela’s birthday, 18 July, is to be known as “Mandela Day” to mark his contribution to world freedom. And the whole world was in deep sorrow when Mandela passed away in 2013.
Mandela was a controversial figure for much of his life. He gained international acclaim for his activism and was widely regarded as an icon of democracy and social justice. He is held in deep respect within South Africa and highly praised by people all over the world.
Now listen again.

M: Why It is a hot major, isn’t it China is in great need of this kind of talents. And your daughter is studying in such a famous university. She is sure to find a good job with her excellent education background.
W: You know the world is under the economy crisis, commerce is not hot any more. I’d rather she majored in medicine or education and could become a doctor or a teacher.
M: These sorts of work do provide a guarantee, but don’t you think they are too boring for young people Every day is the same, the people around you are similar, and you will not have any chance to experience a new and active life style.
W: I just cannot stop worrying about her. I’d rather she lived a peaceful life.
M: Don’t worry, the world cannot go without economy even during this hard period. People have seen the bankruptcy of so many big companies. They need the talents to be more practical to foresee the crisis and prevent the world from it, but not to disappear.
W: Oh, that is true, the foreign commercial talents are still in need, and the influenced companies need to stand up again.
M: Yeah, trade with foreign countries is still necessary, and actually the world economy is showing a sign of recovering.
W: Oh, I look forward to that day. I hope my daughter will have a sensible attitude about finding her job and start her career smoothly.
M: She will, I believe.
W: Thanks.
