Drinking coffee may help protect against Parkinson’s
We know that what we eat and drink has a significant impact on our health, and a new study has found another connection between drinking coffee and a reduced risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.
Looking at data collected on 184,024 individuals, ______ (21) ______ an average of 13 years, the international team of researchers behind the study found that coffee consumers had a lower risk of getting Parkinson’s than ______ (22) ______ not drinking coffee at all.
This study demonstrated an inverse association of caffeinated coffee consumption with the risk of Parkinson’s disease in one of the largest longitudinal cohorts worldwide with more than 20 years of follow-up,” with the researchers in their published paper. This isn’t the first study to ______ (23)(find) ______ a link between coffee and Parkinson’s, but it goes further than previous research in the way it looks at biomarkers of caffeine intake years ahead of Parkinson’s disease ______ (24) ______(diagnosed). The top 25 percent of coffee drinkers were found to be 40 percent less likely to develop Parkinson’s, compared to nonchirclers.
______ (25) ______ is the association still persisted when factors such as smoking and drinking were accounted for, it’s still not enough to prove direct cause and effect. However, there does seem to something about caffeine and its ingredients. ______ (26) ______ is protecting people’s brains.
Based on previous research, it’s thought that the way caffeine keeps dopamine flowing in the brain ______ (27) ______. In this work, we have shown how these effects, Parkinson’s in the brain is characterized by a reduction in dopamine, due to a loss of nerve cells in which cells are subsumed into:
Considering the way that caffeine hits our neurons, it’s perhaps not surprising that there ______ (28) ______(appear) to be a relationship with neurodegenerative diseases. However, as we’re still not sure how exactly Parkinson’s gets started in the brain, it’s difficult to be sure. The important work of figuring out what triggers Parkinson’s, what might affect our risk of getting the disease, and ______ (29) is the approach, goes on.
Coffee is the most widely-consumed psychoactive beverage in the world. Unraveling the biological mechanism of caffeine on Parkinson’s disease not only carries important public health implications but also enhances our understanding of Parkinson’s disease ideology. ______ (30) ______ (foster) potential prevention strategies.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are few words or phrases marked, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Should you trust that five-star rating on Airbnb
It’s summer in the northern hemisphere. And a holidaymakers travel to unfamiliar places, demand for online customer reviews grows. What is find a restaurant that won’t give everyone food poisoning, or the perfect accommodation for a city break, or a mosquito repellent that actually works Whether you are looking on Tripadvisor, Airbnb or Amazon, you will almost certainly be guided by ______ (41). ______ from other people. Should you be The short answer is yes: better to have some information than none.
But the ______ (42) ______ of online reviews are evident. For products with some objective measures of quality, there is a big gap between the views of consumers and experts. A study in 2016 by Bart de Laoghe of Vierick Business School, in Belgium, and his co-authors found that user ratings for 1,272 items listed on Amazon.com ______ (43). ______ little relation to either the assessment of Consumer Reports, an American product-setting organization, or to their results value. That might be because consumers place greater value on more ______ (44). ______ things like a product’s brand. But if ratings are based on subjective criteria, then another problem arises: what if your ______ (45) ______ differ from other people The best book ever, according to members of GoodReads, an online community of bibliophiles, is “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins. You may agree, but plenty of people do not.
Another problem is that the people who bother to leave reviews and ratings may not be ______ (46) ______ of consumers as a whole. In a study published in 2020, Verena Schoenmueller of Eude, a business school in Spain, and her co-authors examined the distribution of ratings left in around 280 million reviews of more than 2 millions products and services on 25 different platforms. They broadly confirmed a familiar pattern: a polar distribution of ratings, with more or less than three categories of the scale than in the ______ (47) ______, and a tendency towards more positive ratings. There are lots of theories as to why online reviews follow this pattern. People who have chosen to
buy something are already more likely to be satisfied with it. ______ (48) ______ experiences, good and bad, are more likely to prompt reviews. Some write-ups are not real-estimates of the prevalence (REF) of false reviews vary but they are certainly a problem, even while generative AI may make ______ (49) ______.
The type of ______ (50) ______ matters, too. Sharing-economy markets have a different feel. You could leave a four-star review for your Althab stay, but now that you have established a relationship with the hosts, and since they are also rating you, it's much ______ (51) ______ to just award five. A paper by Georgios Zervas of Boston University and his co-authors, found that average ratings for Althab properties are consistently higher than those for hotels on Tripadvisor. In theory, businesses have an interest in seeking honest feedback, as it is best way tospot and fix problems. ______ (52) ______ the pressure to maintain high ratings, especially for less visible firms can be an incentive for deception (JRBI). For example, a 2013 study found that small hotels generated more positive fake reviews than ______ (53) ______ chains.
When such incentives misalign, both platforms and consumers must adapt. Platforms can ______ (54) ______rating positively, for instance, weighting scores by a user's review volume. For consumers, the key is to look beyond the average rating. The total number of reviews is a better indicator of popularity, but the true value lies in reading the text thoroughly for the ______ (55) ______ that reveal personal preferences rather than scanning ratings alone.

Section B (10%)
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. For each of them
there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given
in the passage you have just read.
(A)
There is a locked room in Lego's corporate museum, in Billiard in Denmark, which is called the Vault. It is a large space, filled with shelves that are arranged in chronological order, starting in 1958 and stretching towards the present day. The shelves contain around 10,000 sets of Lego. The Vault is used by the toymaker's designers as a source of inspiration, but its effect on first-time visitors is what makes the room remarkable. Its impossible not to seek out sets from your own childhood, not to be drawn back to an earlier version of yourself and, for lots of people, not to well up.
Visiting Lego's vault is a chance to experience the emotional power of a much-loved brand. Marketing experts have a wide set of taxonomy to describe the ties that bind customers and brands. In a recent review of the literature, Claudio Alvarez, Meredith David and Morris George of Baylor University identify five types of connection that have been the subject of concerted study.
The feeling that every marketing manager dreams of eliciting is "brand love". This goes well beyond a belief in the quality of a firm's products to include things like emotional attachment, feelings of passion, frequent use, a strong sense of identification and a brand and more. The flip side of brand love is "brand jazz", a reaction that slight reflect bad experiences with a product, a strong fallback of a brand's values or simply a rivalry with a loved brand.
The three other types of consumer-brand connection identified by Mr Alvarez and his co-authors are "communal relationships", in which people feel a sense of obligation or concern for a brand (local stores can often fit into this category). "brand addiction" often characterized by uncontrollable urges to buy a firm's products and services and "brand friendliness". To denote positive feelings that fall somewhere short of love.
Some of this taxonomy can find all forces that the idea of gradation of attachment rings true; how people feel about a brand determines their behaviour. Vivek Arwanah of McGill University and his co-authors found that people are more likely to report safety incidents when they believe a brand is well-intentioned than when they do not. The reason They want to provide feedback that facilitates problem-solving.
If managers know what kind of connection a brand is likely to have with its customers, the brides of a marketing strategy will fall into place.
56. According to the passage, what is the primary purpose of the Lego Vault for the company's designers
A. To store every set ever made for historical preservation.
B. To serve as a source of inspiration for their work.
C. To revoke strong emotional responses from visiting tourists.
D. To function as a marketing tool to demonstrate the brand's history.
57. The underlined word "taxonomy" is the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. strategy B. system C. classification D. authority
58. Which of the following consumer-brand connections is characterized by an irresistible compulsion to spend
A. Brand Love B. Brand Hate C. Brand Addiction D. Communal Relationships
59. Based on the research by Vivek Arwanah, why are customers more likely to report safety issues to a brand
they perceive as well-intentioned
A. Because they feel a sense of responsibility and want to solve the problem.
B. Because they want to offer constructive feedback that addresses the issue.
C. Because they feel a strong emotional attachment and passion for the brand.
D. Because they have an uncontrollable urge to facilitate the brand.

Rudrowski is a Polish digital artist who uses classical painting styles to create dreamy fantasy landscapes. He has made illustrations for games such as Dungeon & Dragon and Magic: The Gathering. And he’s become a sudden hit in the new world of text-to-image AI generation.
His distinctive style is now one of the most commonly used prompts in the new open-source AI art generator Stable Diffusion, which was launched in the last month. The tool, along with other popular image-generation AI models, allows anyone to create impressive images based on text prompts. For example, type in “Wizard with sword and a glowing orb of magic fire fights a fierce dragon Greg Rutkowski,” and the system will produce something that looks not a million miles away from words in Rutkowski’s style.
But these open-source programs are built by scraping images from the Internet, often without permission or proper attribution to the original creators. As a result, they are milling profound and ethically tricky questions about intellectual property. And artists like Rutkowski have had enough.
According to the website Lexica, which wrote over 10 million images and prompts generated by Stable Diffusion, Rutkowski’s name has been used as a prompt around 93,000 times. This staggering figure dwarfs the mentions of art giants; for instance, Michelangelo, Pablo Picasso, and Leonardo da Vinci have been each referenced roughly 2,000 times or even less. Rutkowski’s name also features as a prompt thousands of times in the Discord of modern text-to-image generators, idlignancy.
Rutkowski was initially taken aback but thought it might be a good way to reach new audiences. Then he tried searching for his name to see if a piece he had worked on had been published. The online search brought back work that had his name attached to it but wasn’t late.
“It’s been just a month. What about a year I probably won’t be able to find my work out there because the internet will be flooded with AI art.” Rutkowski said. “That’s concerning.”
Other artists besides Rutkowski have been surprised by the apparent popularity of their work in text-to-image generators, and some are now fighting back. Mark Ortiz, an illustrator based in San Francisco who found her work in Stable Diffusion’s data set, has been raising awareness about the issues around AI art and copyright. Artists say they risk losing income as people smart things AI-generated images based on copyrighted material for commercial purposes. “But it’s also a lot more personal,” Ortiz says, arguing that because it is so closely linked to a person, it could raise data protection and privacy problems.
Ortiz reveals that a coalition is forming across the artistic community to explore strategies to address or mitigate the issue. This collective, though still in the early stages of mobilization, is considering advocating for new policies and regulations. Among the proposed solutions, she suggests that AI companies could partner with museums and artists to train models exclusively on images from the public domain or those used with explicit consent.
63. What can be learned about Rutkowski from the first two paragraphs
A. He is enthusiastic about being using AI models. B. He is popular with users of an AI art generator. C. He attracts admiration from other illustrators. D. He specializes in classical painting digitalization.
64. What can be inferred from the phrase “have had enough” in paragraph 37
A. Artists like Rutkowski are satisfied with the popularity of AI art. B. Artists like Rutkowski are lacking in inspiration for new artworks. C. Artists like Rutkowski are too longer willing to tolerate the situation. D. Artists like Rutkowski are interested in learning about AI technology.
65. How does Rutkowski feel about the use of his name in AI image generation at first
A. Confused but motivated.
B. Surprised but hopeful.
C. Interested but detached.
D. Thrilled but concerned.
66. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. When Art Meets At: Is Digital Art Real Art
B. When AI Aids Creation: How Do Artists Benefit
C. When AI Initiates Art: Who Protects the Artist
D. When AI Art Goes Vital: Who Defines the Ownership
Section C
Directions: Read the following postage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you used.
A. This inevitably leads to the question: is it now a parent’s fundamental responsibility to arrange a productive summer
B. For others, however, the word evokes anxiety, synonymous with high costs and stressful arrangements.
C. Should it be a relaxed, open-stocked time, or a three-month opportunity to build skills and enhance a child’s profile
D. Back then, children enjoyed a great deal of unstructured free time.
AB. This idea may seem unacceptable within competitive parenting cultures, especially in cities like New York.
AC. This has inevitably intensified the anxiety among parents who cannot afford such opportunities.
When Katherine Goldstein, a researcher and mother of three in Durham, N.C., was a child in the 1990s, she spent slow summers swimming and riding her bike around the neighborhoods. Her father worked full time and her mother worked part time from home. (67) ______ ______ What of the people I know who are in their 30s and 40s spent July and August at a community pool, and there was not this feeling that every moment had to be planned,” said Ms. Goldstein.
Ms. Goldstein also went to camp some years, but it seems very different from the intense, early planning that many contemporary families undertake — often starting as early as the fall for the following summer. While summer is still months away, the pressure to organize those months intensifies rapidly.
For many parents — particularly those in office jobs — camps represent an ideal and often necessary way to structure summer break. (68) ______ ______ A small but growing number are beginning to ask: What if my child does nothing
(69) ______ ______ There, camp registration resembles a race — one where success depends on setting calendar reminders months in advance. Some of the most sought-after programs, such as those run by the Central Park Zoo (5720 per week) or the American Museum of Natural History (51,300 per week), often fill up within minutes of registration opening. In some wealthy arbories, the combined cost of multiple camp sessions can rival that of a luxury car. Summer vacation has increasingly become a parenting test. (70) ______
Allia Adams, a private school admissions consultant in Manhattan, often advocates for a measure of summer boredom when advising anxious New York parents. “I tell them their child may develop further through self-directed exploration than in a class surrounded by peers,” she says.
IV. Summary Writing (10%)
Directions: Read the following postage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the postage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as for as possible.
Where Are the Bee !
Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make longer, but they also pollinate large areas of eggs; such as snowberries, apples, and onions. Most a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination by bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an amazing rate.
In 2006, beekeepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD). The main sign of CCD is the disappearance of adult honey bees from a hive (# #). In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.
There were many theories for the disappearance of bees, but the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and the lifestyle of the beauty. Nowadays, beekeepers got most of their income not from producing honey but from treating bees to pollinate plants. This means that the diet of apple juice now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops at the season's stages. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn usually polluted with pesticides.
No one knows for sure what causes bees to disappear, but losing bees is very costly for the economy. Bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will thrive to get worse by hand, which would affect the quality of food and because food prices. We have a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.

VI. An additional Closer (15%)
Awe is the “Wow!” emotion we get when something is so vast that it stops us in our tracks. Often, it ______ or expands our thinking. Awe experiences increase positive emotions and overall satisfaction in life. It can also help our relationships, making us feel more caring and less ______, more supported by and more likely to help others.
Most of us associate awe with something ______ and beautiful: nature, music or a spiritual experience. But people can trigger awe, too. And not just people we think of as public ______ first responders or front-line workers — or famous people, such as athletes or astronauts.

Often, this interpersonal awe is a(n) ______ to life’s big, sweeping changes: witnessing a baby’s first steps, watching someone take care of a sick loved one, seeing parents cope ______ with the challenges of aging.
But interpersonal awe happens in smaller moments, too. John Bargh, 66, a psychologist and professor who lives in Guilford, Conn., said he was “truly ______” by his then-5-year-old daughter while dining with her in a McDonald’s several years ago.
