The Cat Flower Garden, the world’s first cat café, opened in Taiwan in 1998. The café offered baked goods and a selection of tea and coffee in addition to allowing time to spend with the cats. The concept quickly spread to many other places around the world.
Customers can sit with the cats, pet them, play with them or just relax watching cats do what cats do. Each café has its own rules in place for the safety of the cats. They usually include: no loud noises, running or chasing the cats; do not disturb them if they are eating or sleeping; and a limit on the number of people in the cat space at any one time.
Cat cafés are not shelters, so they do not rescue or accept stray (走失的) animals. Most of them partner with shelters and other animal organizations. The cats are available for adoption.
Alisha Reynolds is the owner of Pawsitivitea, a famous cat café in New York. She opened it after visiting a cat café in Virginia. Impressed by the experience, she wanted to open something similar by combining her strong sense of compassion, her culinary (烹饪) training and her experience as a salesperson. “Opening a cat café seemed like a better option than working three jobs,” she said.
Reynolds likes to add fun themes to her business, such as a pretend Halloween party in July, with some of the cats wearing fun, but safe decorated vests. “People love the concept of a cat café,” she said. “Plus we have adopted out more than 350 cats since we opened three years ago.” She also has a blog devoted to the benefits of interacting with cats in a café setting. Some of the benefits she lists are the calming effect of a cat’s purr (猫呼噜声) and sitting with a cat in a peaceful environment can reduce stress.
The cats benefit as well. Whatever their backgrounds have been, they now live in a safe, loving space and they are able to spend time with people who show them love. And of course, many of the café visitors adopt the cats after meeting them in person, which leads to a life-long bond with the cats.

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have led a worldwide, advanced study demonstrating the potential of tirzepatide, known to manage Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), as the first effective drug treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a sleep-related disorder characterized by repeated episodes of irregular breathing due to complete or partial blockage of the upper airway.
The results, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, highlight the treatment’s potential to improve the quality of life for millions around the world affected by OSA．“This study marks a significant milestone in the treatment of OSA, offering a promising new treatment option,” said physician Atul Malhotra, lead author of the study.
OSA can result in reduced oxygen levels in the blood and can also be associated with an increased risk of heart diseases. Recent studies, also led by Malhotra, suggest that the number of OSA patients worldwide is close to 936 million.
Conducted in two double-blinded, randomized, controlled trials, the new study involved 469 participants living with OSA．They were from nine different countries, including the U.S., Australia and Germany. Participants either used or did not use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, the most common OSA treatment which uses a machine to maintain an open airway during sleep, preventing interruptions in breathing. Patients used either 10 or 15 mg of the drug by injection (注射) or a placebo (安慰剂). The impact of tirzepatide was evaluated over 52 weeks.
Researchers found that tirzepatide led to a significant decrease in the number of breathing interruptions during sleep, a key indicator used to measure the severity of OSA．This improvement was much greater than what was seen in participants that were given a placebo. Importantly, some participants that took the drug reached a point where CPAP therapy might not be necessary.
8．What causes breathing interruptions in OSA patients
A．Heart diseases. B．A sleep-related disorder.
C．Blockage of the upper airway. D．Reduced oxygen levels in the blood.
9．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4
A．The study results. B．The study process.
C．The study principle. D．The study background.
10．We can learn from the passage that the drug tirzepatide is ________.
A．the first drug therapy for OSA
B．usually used to treat diabetes
C．the most common OSA treatment now
D．to treat nearly 936 million OSA patients
11．What do we know about the study
A．It took at least one year to complete.
B．It was independently conducted by Malhotra.
C．It involved 469 participants picked at random.
D．It has improved quality of life for OSA patients.
Her chronological (按时间计算的) age is 66 but her subjective age is 40. The woman I’ll call Ana did not become fully aware of this disconnect until she went for her Covid-19 vaccination (接种疫苗) a couple of years ago. As she stood in line, surrounded by her contemporaries, she looked around and thought: Are they really my age Later, amused and slightly worried, she discussed it with her friends. Almost all of them said the same thing had happened to them.
Why do some of us feel that the number of candles on our birthday cake can’t be right Psychologists and scientists have been studying this phenomenon since the 1970s. Some wonder about the cultural factors that push us to look younger. A 1989 study by the American Psychological Association concluded that subjective age identities are “a form of defensive denial by which adults can disassociate themselves from the stigma attached to growing old.”
Belén Alfonso agrees. The psychologist specializing in gender studies doesn’t believe a mature person should be blamed for perceiving themselves, or presenting themselves to others, as younger, but she argues that we need to understand the social context that pushes them to do so. “Having a subjective age of 20 when we are 65, for example, suggests that we see ourselves as energetic, strong, attractive. But why can’t we associate those qualities with being 65 ”
Take Madonna. The singer, who is 65, has long been criticized for how she presents herself: a woman confident in herself. Judging by the comments on social media, many people see this as a big problem — they believe that a woman in her 60s should cover herself up and not attract attention. In a statement posted on Instagram earlier this year, the singer responded to the haters: “I have never apologized for any of the creative choices I have made, nor the way that I look or dress, and I’m not going to start.”
At the high-school reunion, we may feel we are the best-preserved of our fellow alumni (校友). That’s okay, but it’s not real. However, seeing yourself as younger can be good for your physical and mental health. So, forever young, to the end, like Madonna.
12．What does the underlined word “stigma” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Value. B．Prejudice. C．Disability. D．Inconvenience.
13．Why is Madonna mentioned in Paragraph 4
A．To illustrate the influence of social context.
B．To criticize those who dismiss her as inappropriate.
C．To introduce a singer who has enjoyed great popularity.
D．To argue for those who present themselves regardless of age.
14．What is true according to the passage
A．The perception of age is a freshly raised study topic.
B．Women are more eager to present themselves than men.
C．It is rare for people to perceive themselves younger than they are.
D．Younger subjective age helps boost mental and physical health.
15．Which quality is the author most likely to value
A．Staying young at heart. B．Being brave in behaviour.
C．Being honest about age. D．Remaining attractive in appearance.
In the age of social media and the Internet, it’s hard to sell kids on books when they have constant overstimulation at their fingertips. Interacting with books is wildly different than interacting online, but I’m a firm believer in books being able to compete.
Despite the enormous appeal of the digital world, I have managed to raise kids who love books. This was no accident. 16 . I wanted them to find empathy (共鸣), education and beautiful escape in the pages of books. As keen readers, I know they are in the minority. 17 . That’s a shame, because reading opens doors to other people, other places and yourself. So, if you want to help your kids make space for literature, I have some strategies to share.
Buy books about stuff they love
We want our kids to love what we love. 18 . Whatever your kid’s passion is, buy them books about it. Maybe they love rocks, snakes, hairstyles, mummies or drawing. Whatever they love, give them books about those things.
Limit screen time
If you want your kids to read, you have to limit screen time. My children have screen time, but it’s regulated to leave room for other, healthier things.
Ask them about their books
19 . Get to know the plots and the characters. Ask your children fun and interesting questions about what they are reading. Let them amuse you with information, even if you don’t find it interesting. Sharing what they learned will make reading that much better.
20
Actions speak louder than words. In this case, let your children see you reading. Instead of reading online, subscribe to a magazine and let your kids see you reading it. Send the message that one is never too old to read.
A．Read in their presence.
B．Develop a reading habit.
C．I can’t stress this one enough.
D．I was purposeful about raising readers.
E．That’s normal, but it’s also mildly illogical.
F．Encourage your kids to share the stories they read with you.
G．Reading for enjoyment is trending down among children nowadays.
二、完形填空
The slow death of our television began with an alert (警报) flashing across the screen: This function is not 21 now. I tried cleaning the remote control, unplugging the TV — nothing 22 .
I spent hours online researching our 12-year-old model and 23 that the motherboard (主板) was on its way out. Motherboard. The word held 24 . I heard it as two words: mother bored. With my son away at college, my role as a mom had taken a big 25 . I was still adjusting to the change. I was stressed, and frankly, a little bored.

We moved our broken TV out of the living room and have yet to 32 it. Now, thinking about that stubborn alert, I feel 33 .

People in the UK are being urged to keep rare plants in their living rooms or gardens to help create a “national collection”, which can save pollinator-friendly (利于传粉者的) plants from 36 (extinct).
A national plant collection can include a number of well-tended plants, many of 37 are suitable for domestic gardens. Though some collections 38 (house) at locations such as Kew Gardens, many are kept in the back gardens of amateur enthusiasts.
Plant Heritage, a charity that works to create and develop the collections, 39 (run) a “missing genera” campaign since 2016, where it lists plants that are not a collection and are 40 risk of dying out. This year the plants are all pollinator-friendly.
Since the campaign began, 12 national collections have been set up. There are 700 collections in total, 41 (find) all over the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands. These “living libraries” contain 42 estimated 95,000 garden plants.
According to a business manager at Plant Heritage, people don’t 43 (necessary) need lots of space in order to help. All that is needed is a passion for plants and eagerness 44 (learn) about the plant group in the chosen collection.

47．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。
Chase watched the countdown on the video screen. There were only twelve minutes left, and his family wasn’t even close to repairing the damaged spaceship before it would crash into the ground. Even worse, while his family was here in the escape room, he was missing his friend Jayden’s birthday party! Why did his family have to take a winter vacation this year
“You used to love things like this!” Chase’s mom patted his shoulder. “Just look at how excited your brother is.” Chase’s younger brother, Max, was rushing around the room looking for clues. “You know, your dad and I put a lot of thought into this vacation, “Mom said. “We picked the escape room because we thought you’d like the challenge.” Chase nodded toward the countdown. “Well, I don’t think there’s any way we’re escaping in eleven minutes.” Mom pointed to the slogan (标语) printed in block letters over the exit. “Escaping is only half the fun,” she read out loud. Chase sighed. “The other half is bonding with your lovely family, of course.” Mom laughed .
“I found something!” cried Max. He was across the room waving a small white card over his head. “It appears to be part of a combination. But we’ll need two more cards to solve it.” The rest of the family jumped into action, but not Chase. As he collapsed back in his chair, he felt something under his hand. He held it up to the light of the screen.
“Chase found one of the cards!” Max shouted. Chase shrugged (耸肩) and handed it to Dad. For the first time all weekend, Jayden’s birthday party was put to the back of his mind.
“Oh boy,” Mom said, “Two minutes left and we still need another card!” “We can do this,” Chase said with a smile. His mind was racing now. He was on a mission, together with his brother and parents. The birthday party might as well have been on another planet. Suddenly the screen went blank. “Time is up,” Max said, pointing to the countdown. “Mission failed.”

【详解】36．考查名词。句意：英国民众被呼吁将珍稀植物摆放在自家客厅或花园里，以共同打造一个“全国性的植物收藏”，从而保护那些对传粉昆虫有益的植物免于灭绝。空处应填名词作宾语，extinct的名词形式为extinction，且为不可数名词。故填extinction。
37．考查定语从句。句意：一个国家性的植物收藏品可以包含众多精心养护的植物，其中许多植物都非常适合用于家庭花园。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为plants，指物，且在从句中作介词of的宾语，构成“介词+关系代词”结构的非限制性定语从句，应用关系代词which。故填which。
38．考查时态语态。句意：虽然有些藏品存放在诸如邱园这样的地方，但大多数藏品则存放在业余爱好者们的后院里。空处是从句的谓语动词，描述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语collections与house“存放”之间为被动关系，应用被动语态，且主语为复数，be动词用are。故填are housed。
39．考查时态。句意：“植物遗产”是一个致力于创建和开发植物收藏的慈善组织，自2016年以来，该组织一直在开展一项名为“缺失属”的活动，该活动列出了那些不属于现有收藏体系且面临灭绝风险的植物种类。根据时间状语since 2016可知，用现在完成时，“一直在开展活动”强调持续进行，用现在完成进行时，主语为a charity，助动词用has。故填has been running。

41．考查非谓语动词。句意：总共有 700 件藏品，分布在英国、爱尔兰以及海峡群岛的各地。空处为非谓语动词作定语，修饰collections，find与collections构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填found。
42．考查冠词。句意：这些“活体植物库”里大约有95000种园艺植物。estimated以元音音素开头，且此处表示“一个”估计的数量，为泛指，应用不定冠词an，an estimated表示“据估计”，修饰95,000 garden plants。故填an。
43．考查副词。句意：据“植物遗产”项目的业务经理称，人们不一定需要很大的空间才能提供帮助。修饰动词need用副词necessarily作状语。故填necessarily。
44．考查非谓语动词。句意：所需要的就是对植物的热爱以及对所选植物群相关知识的渴望。eagerness to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“做某事的渴望”。故填to learn。
45．考查连词。句意：虽然这些植物大多并非本土物种，但保护它们仍十分重要，尤其是因为随着气候的变化，需要有多种多样的植物来为传粉昆虫提供食物，并起到储存碳的作用。连接for pollinators和to store carbon，表并列关系，用连词and连接，说明植物对传粉者和碳储存的作用。故填and。

47．【答案】Chase collapsed in the chair and stared at the blank screen. A heavy sigh escaped him, but surprisingly, he didn’t feel as disappointed as he thought. His brother Max plopped down next to him, saying, “That was so close! Did you see how fast we worked together at the end ” Chase nodded, realizing he’d actually enjoyed the last few minutes of teamwork. Mom and Dad started gathering their things, and Chase noticed the slogan over the exit again: Escaping is only half the fun. Maybe Mom was right about the other half.
“You didn’t ruin anything,” Mom said, sitting beside him. “We had a great adventure, didn’t we Even if we didn’t escape, we laughed, worked together, and made memories.” Chase looked at his family — Max was still chatting excitedly, and Dad was pretending to be a spaceship captain to make Max giggle. “You’re right,” Chase said, smiling. “Jayden’s party would’ve been fun, but this was… different. Good different.” Mom hugged him, and Chase thought maybe winter vacations with his family weren’t so bad after all. The blank screen no longer seemed like a failure but a reminder of a day he’d remember.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开。首先，讲的是Chase和家人被困在一个逃生密室中，他们需要在时间结束前修复损坏的宇宙飞船以避免坠毁。Chase一开始因为错过了朋友的生日派对而感到不满，但后来在密室逃脱中从消极到投入，和家人一起寻找线索，虽未成功逃脱，却体会到家人相伴的意义。
