While many of us will be taking advantage of the holiday for a bit of rest and relaxation, one man will be in training to push his body to its limits. Ian Russell, an airline pilot from Hereford, is preparing to run his first Ironman Triathlon (铁人三项赛) — at the age of 60.
“They used to say life begins at 40. Now, 60 is the new 40,” said Mr Russell. Mr Russell was a keen sportsman when he was young, he listed climbing Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn among his achievements. He later took up running, before joining his local triathlon club. Inspired by some of his fellow members who had taken part, last autumn Mr Russell, who was 60 years old, signed up for the Ironman Triathlon event in Tenby, Pembrokeshire. He didn’t want age to restrict himself.
“I originally thought that it’s local and easy to go, but it’s actually one of the toughest ones going,” he said. Since then, Mr Russell has trained “most days” — but has suffered a couple of setbacks. “I’ve had a big operation on my hand,” he explained, “which took a few weeks to recover. And then I broke my foot out training with the triathlon club. That took a good six to eight weeks to recover. So I’m not starting from the best base.”
He said that, while he was training hard, he was avoiding pushing himself too much. “You might end up hurting yourself, which I can’t afford now,” he said. Mr Russell was also worried about making a cutoff, of two hours 20 minutes, to complete the swim. “All my main part of my training in my mind is revolving (围绕) around getting through the swimming part. So at least I can get on a bike and… let Mother Nature and tailwinds (顺风) take their course.”
Despite this, the athlete said he had no regrets. “I’m proving that age is no barrier to setting bold goals and achieving them,” he added.
4. Why did Mr Russell say “60 is the new 40”
A. He was starting a new career. B. He felt younger than before.
C. He wanted to sound humorous. D. He believed age shouldn’t limit his goals.
5. What can be learned from Mr Russell’s training experience
A. His coach caused his injuries. B. He trained too little for the event.
C. He underestimated the difficulty of the race. D. He prioritized swimming over biking too early.
6. What does the underlined word “cutoff” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. A time limit. B. A competition rule.
C. A safety zone. D. A broken record.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Mr Russell
A Well-trained but proud. B. Determined and careful.
C. Competitive and generous. D. Humorous but narrow-minded.
C
A diet developed for brain health might slow or prevent cognitive (认知的) decline associated with mental health issues and age-related memory loss, a study says.
“Following a MIND diet approach to meals can be a great way to boost brain health, because specific nutrients in a MIND diet play a vital role in brain health,” study lead author Dr. Sawyer said, who is a brain health expert at the University of Cincinnati. He likes this diet because it focuses more on what you should eat instead of what you should avoid. For example, he enjoys adding leafy green salads with nuts, beans, and olive oil to his meals rather than cutting out foods completely.
The MIND diet combines two well-known healthy eating plans: the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet, which is designed to lower blood pressure. MIND stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay. Its goal is to help slow brain aging and memory problems.
The diet prioritizes whole grains, leafy green vegetables, berries, beans and nuts; encourages the consumption of other, non-leafy green vegetables, fish, seafood, and olive oil; allows for limited consumption of red meat and wine; and limits the consumption of fast food, fried food, butter, and sweet foods such as candy.
According to Sawyer, the good foods in this diet are full of antioxidants (抗氧化物质), which protect the brain. In contrast, the less healthy foods can raise bad fats in the body, which may hurt brain health.
Sawyer and his team investigated the effects of a MIND diet on 14,145 people, with an average age of 64 years. Over approximately 10 years, they found that those who followed the MIND diet closely had a lower risk of memory loss. The effect was stronger for women participants.
However, the study did have limits — it was based on people’s own reports about what they ate and couldn’t prove cause and effect. Still, the study provides favorable data and evidence for future related studies.
8. What does Sawyer say about a MIND diet in paragraph 2
A. It has potential effects on brain health.
B. It has been experimented among the public.
C. It reduces the consumption of green vegetables.
D. It is mainly targeted at brain health of middle-aged people.
9. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A. Give an example. B. Make a comparison.
C. Clarify a concept. D. Introduce a new topic.
10 What is the author’s attitude towards Sawyer and his team’s study
A. Objective. B. Disapproving.
C Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Keeping a Balanced Diet Contributes to Our Health
B. MIND Diet Delivers Enormous Benefits to Kids
C. consuming Red Meat and Wine Has a Side Effect
D. MIND Diet May Help Keep Your Brain Healthy
D
Brains are usually considered a bacteria-free zone. But that’s not the case for some fish. Wild and lab-grown salmonids (鲑科鱼)harbor active microbial (微生物的)communities in their brains. Most of the bacteria found in brains of lab-reared rainbow trout (虹鳟)appear to have initially come from their blood and guts. That suggests that microbes from other parts of the body can cross the blood-brain barrier. That layer of cells lies between brain cells and blood vessels, letting oxygen and nutrients in and keeping bacteria out.
Microbial infection of animal brains has usually been linked to disease. For instance, brain-infiltrating microbes may be linked with Alzheimer’s disease in people. But brain bacteria aren’t necessarily bad news for fish. “The bacteria might even help rainbow trout pick up on microbial cues in the environment, aiding the migratory fish in navigation (航行)rivers,” says Irene Salinas, an immunologist studying fish.
Salinas’ team searched for bacteria in brain samples from rainbow trout and grew 54 types of bacteria from lab-reared fish. That suggests that fish brains have a microbial community. Genetic analyses also revealed signs that bacteria adapt to living in the brain and cross the blood-brain barrier.
While brain bacteria might not always be harmful to fish, there are exceptions. For example, the brains of aging Chinook salmon nearing death tend to have higher levels of bacteria compared to those of younger fish. These aging brains also show a buildup of amyloid-beta, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease in humans. This suggests that, similar to gut microbes, brain bacteria can potentially go out of balance, leading to health problems.
The new findings open up questions about whether only fish have bacteria in the brain. Other animals may have brains chock-full of microbes, too. “When it comes to fish, there’s lots of diversity of different fishes on the planet,” Salinas says. “Maybe deep-sea fish or sharks have unique brain bacteria that help them live far below the surface.”
12. What function does the blood-brain barrier play in salmonids
A. To block oxygen. B. To produce bacteria.
C. To provide nutrients. D. To keep the brain healthy.
13. In which way can the brain bacteria help rainbow trout
A. Finding the way. B. Boosting growth.
C. Controlling disease. D. Preventing infection.
14. What does the example of the aging Chinook salmon imply
A. Aging fish have few brain bacteria.
B Young fish lack enough brain bacteria.
C. Brain bacteria can cause health problems.
D. Brain bacteria are always beneficial to fish.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Brain bacteria of the sea life are the same.
B. More research on animals’ brain bacteria is needed.
C. Many animals’ brains are full of different microbes.
D. Salinas will study why fish can live far below the surface.

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。
Emily stood by the art room window, staring at the invitation in her hand. It was from her high school, announcing the annual student art show — and this year; for the first time, alumni (校友) were invited to display their works. It had been five years since she had walked those hallways. Back then, Emily had been the quiet girl who spent lunch breaks sketching (画速写) in her notebooks, hoping not to be noticed. She didn’t play sports, and rarely spoke in class. But art had always been her favorite.
Now, she was studying at an art college and had even sold a few paintings online. Yet, holding that invitation, she felt the same nerves she used to feel walking into the school cafeteria. Would they even remember me Would they laugh at what I’ve created Still, something inside her whispered: Go. Maybe it was curiosity, and Emily decided to return.
On the day of the show, she arrived early with one of her favorite pieces: a painting of a girl standing in the middle of a storm, her hair wild, her eyes calm. It was bold (大胆自信的), colorful, and very different from the soft pencil sketches she used to hide in her notebooks.
The school gym had been transformed. Canvases (油画) lined the walls, spotlights lit each piece, and soft music played in the background. Students and teachers walked around, admiring the works. Emily found a spot for her painting and took a deep breath.
As people began to arrive, Emily kept to the side, watching from a distance. Then, to her surprise, someone tapped her shoulder. “Emily Is that yours ” It was Anna, one of the most outgoing girls from her year, now dressed in a stylish suit. “I love it. There’s so much power in it. I never knew you were so talented.” Emily laughed, a little surprised. No former classmates had ever said that to her before.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But the moment that Emily would never forget came toward the end of the show.

【答案】
But the moment that Emily would never forget came toward the end of the show. The lights dimmed slightly, and the host stopped onto the small stage with a microphone in hand. “Tonight,” she began, her voice warm, “we celebrate not only artistic skill, but courage — the courage to express, to return, and to inspire.” The room fell silent. Then came the words that made Emily’s breath catch: “This year’s Best Artist Award goes to Emily.” Never had she imagined being recognized, especially in the very place where she once hid in the background. Yet now, all eyes were on her — not with judgment, but admiration.
Emily stepped onto the stage to receive the best artist award. Taking a deep breath, Emily bowed and said, “Thank you, I used to think that being quiet meant being invisible. I thought my voice didn’t matter.” She paused, the room silent. “But tonight reminded me that expression comes in many forms. Whether it’s through painting, music, writing, what’s inside us deserves to be shared. Don’t be afraid to show the world who you are.” Applause filled the room, but more importantly, so did understanding. And to think — it had all started with a pencil and a quiet girl who dared to draw.
