Do you ever blend up a protein drink for breakfast, or grab a protein bar following an afternoon workout If so, you are likely among the millions of people in search of more protein-rich diets. Protein-enriched products are found everywhere. But contrary to all the publicity that everyone needs more protein, most Americans get twice as much as they need. Many of us living in the most developed countries are buying into a myth of protein deficiency created by food companies and self-identified health experts. Global retail sales of protein supplement products reached an astonishing U.S. $18.9 billion in 2020.
But are we really in need of more protein Physicians in the U.S., have never actually examined a patient with protein deficiency because simply by eating an adequate number of daily calories we are also most likely getting enough protein. In fact, Americans currently consume almost twice the National Academy of Medicine’s recommended daily intake of protein although the most desirable protein intake may vary depending on age and activity level. For example, if you’re a dedicated athlete you might need to consume higher quantities of protein. Generally, though, a 140-pound person should not exceed 120 grams of protein per day, particularly because a high protein diet can strain kidney and liver function and increase risks of developing heart disease and cancer.While fats and sugar have taken the beating in turns since over a century ago, protein has managed to remain our red-hot favorite. In the 1970s through the 1990s, protein products remained visible but moved back somewhat with the dietary spotlight firmly fixed on low-calorie, low-fat, sugar-free snack foods and beverages following the publication of studies linking sugar and saturated (饱和的) fat consumption to heart disease. Later research in 2003, however, suggested high-protein diets could aid in weight loss, and protein quickly regained its former nutrient-superstar status.
Now most people living in high-income nations are consuming enough protein. When we replace meals with a protein bar or drink, we also risk missing out on the rich sources of antioxidants (抗氧化剂), vitamins and many other benefits of real food.
4. Why have physicians in the U.S. never actually examined a patient with protein deficiency
A. Americans can get sufficient protein just by eating adequate foods daily.
B. Americans can absorb the number of calories recommended by food experts.
C. Americans can purchase many kinds of protein-rich foods everywhere.
D. Americans can rely on food supplements to prevent protein deficiency.
5. What should people take into consideration in deciding on the most preferable protein intake
A. How healthy they are and what food they eat.
B. How much protein they consume and what their body weight is.
C. How old they are and what activities they do.
D. How serious their protein deficiency is and what remedies they use.
6. What foods have been largely out of favor for more than a century
A. Sugar-free snacks. B. Sugary and fatty foods.
C. Both red and white meats. D. Protein-rich foods.
7. What does the author imply people in developed countries should do to keep healthy
A. Replace meals with protein bars. B. Eat vegetarian diets.
C. Consume enough protein daily. D. Enjoy natural food.
C
Consumers rely on various ways to pay daily expenses. The problem is that they tend to spend more with cashless payment methods in comparison to cash. This striking cashless effect has recently been confirmed by researchers from the University of Adelaide.
Led by PhD Student Lachlan Schomburgk, the research team analysed 71 published and unpublished studies from 17 countries, including data from more than 11,000 unique participants. They’ve found that cashless payments lead people to spend more on status-signalling goods like jewellery, while this effect is notably absent in acts of donation or tipping.
“Through this meta-analysis, we identified key factors that make the cashless effect stronger or weaker, which individual studies could not find. By doing this, we uncovered new key understandings that had often been overlooked by other researchers in individual studies.” Schomburgk explains.
The findings indicate that consumers should be mindful of how they pay for goods or services, as this helps them spend less, especially critical in the current cost-of-living crisis. To avoid overspending, they’re advised to carry cash instead of cards whenever possible as a self-control method. When using cash, they count and hand over notes and coins, making spending more noticeable. If nothing is physically handed over, it’s easy to lose track of how much is spent.
The study also provides useful insights for businesses and policymakers. “Businesses should know failing to accept the cashless revolution might unintentionally be jeopardising profit potential,” Schomburgk says. “And policymakers should communicate to individuals unfamiliar with cashless payments, such as people who don’t have bank accounts, about the possibility of cashless methods to lead to overspending.”
Schomburgk stresses a need for urgent in-depth studies of new payment methods, as research on their specific impacts remains limited due to their novelty. Studying these methods is vital to keep pace with the evolving payment ecosystem and deepen understanding of modern consumers’ spending habits.
8. What has the study found about the cashless effect
A. It exists in acts of donation. B. It weakens with more cash use.
C. It links to the living cost crisis. D. It works in specific consumption.
9. Why did the team adopt the meta-analysis
A. To solve the overspending problem. B. To compare cash and cashless payments.
C. To confirm factors causing the effect. D. To break the limitations of single studies.
10. What does the underlined word “jeopardising” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Risking. B. Preserving. C. Shifting. D. Boosting.
11. What can be inferred about new payments according to Schomburgk
A. They need to be popularized. B. They are developing rapidly.
C. They should be further studied. D. They will affect spending habits.
D
What if a startup’s first team member was an AI agent, not a human This question led Microsoft and NYU Stern’s Tech MBA program to a special project. Thirty students formed six startup teams, using Microsoft 365 Copilot (with the latest AI agent features) to rethink work — starting with AI from day one. Their goal: break old workflows, build “Frontier Firms,” and explore human-AI cooperation.
Frontier Firms aren’t just AI users — they’re built around AI. From the start, AI agents integrate into every aspect of the company, reshaping work processes, decision-making methods, and team structures to enhance human-AI partnership. The results were eye-opening. Top teams didn’t just use AI for tasks — they let it spark ideas: designing org charts, refining pitch decks, and creating sample business models. This revealed a new work style: AI as an active, growing team member.
The project had two phases. First, students used Copilot to simulate starting a startup — assigning roles, writing plans, and testing workflows. Then, they imagined how “AI-first” Frontier Firms might work, drawing blueprints for AI-powered organizations. Starting fresh helped: no old rules held them back.
Students found AI quickly became their “first hire,” taking on key roles like strategist or analyst. One team even let AI design an org chart by analyzing resumes. AI handled tasks like planning market strategies, writing job descriptions, and building financial models. This let human members take on more roles without stress and tackle work outside their expertise — speeding up progress from idea to action.
This project shows AI can be more than a tool — it can be a teammate or even a co-founder. It’s not a future dream, but a present reality reshaping work. To adapt, leaders need a new mindset: see AI as a partner, not just an aid.
12. What was the main goal of the special project
A. To compare AI and human work efficiency.
B. To train students on using Microsoft 365 Copilot.
C. To experiment on the teamwork of humans and AI.
D. To help students learn about the latest AI version.
13. What role did the leading teams give AI
A. Rare tool. B. Silent clerk. C. Final judge. D. Idea partner.
14. How did AI most help students move from idea to action
A. Issuing grand visions. B. Boosting team spirits.
C. Running rapid analyses. D. Arranging team meet-ups.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. AI Agent Becomes the Startup’s First Hire
B. Put AI on the Founding Team from Day One
C. Argue for Human-only Leadership in a Team
D. Researchers Ask Who Really Runs a New-build Firm

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, I spent countless days wandering in the woods, where I deeply felt nature’s capacity to heal (治愈). ____16____ Back then, I had no idea that the affection would guide my career — let alone inspire me to pen a book linking nature with therapy (疗法).
My professional journey into the practice of ecotherapy began when I was introduced to the book Eco psychology: Restoring the Earth, Healing the Mind. After obtaining my professional certificate in this field, over the following 30 years, I ran a private practice and worked with clients, witnessing huge impacts of bringing nature into the therapeutic process. ____17____
Meanwhile, I saw a gap in traditional psychotherapy. ____18____ While research proved nature’s mental health benefits, clinicians lacked a practical ecotherapy guide. This mismatch led me to set about writing Prescribing Nature to bridge the gap and help them integrate nature-based approaches into their therapeutic toolboxes.
____19____ The Overview covers ecotherapy’s theories and research on nature’s effects. The Practice offers actionable steps: bringing nature indoors, outdoor therapy and nature prescriptions (处方). The Practical considerations address challenges like special populations, plus a chapter on climate sufferings that clients rarely mention. Every section is based on both scientific research and my own decades of clinical experience to ensure credibility.
Prescribing Nature targets mainstream clinicians in traditional settings. ____20____ Thus, more clinicians will be empowered to use ecotherapy and more people will benefit from nature’s incredible healing power.
A. It stayed restricted to indoor settings.
B. That fueled my resolve to share this approach.
C. The book focuses on digital interventions for anxiety.
D. Close contact with nature has strong restorative effects.
E. The experiences planted in my heart a seed of love for it.

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。
Grandma’s old wooden mailbox, with a chipped blue coat (涂料层) and a slightly rusted hinge (铰链), had stood at the quiet corner of the community for 20 years. It was not just a simple mailbox, but a warm bond with the nearby three families. Every early morning, when the first ray of sunlight spilled over the roof, Grandma would put on her shoes, hold a small bamboo basket, and walk slowly to the corner with her slightly bent back.
She would carefully collect her own letters and the daily newspapers for the elderly neighbors next door — Mr. Smith who suffered from leg pain and Ms. Brown who lived alone, both of whom could barely walk downstairs. Those newspapers were their main way to learn about the outside world, and Grandma’s small act of kindness had quietly lasted for years, warming the whole neighborhood.
On a holiday afternoon, Tom, a college student majoring in architecture, came to visit Grandma as usual. When he turned the corner, he was shocked to find the mailbox lying on the ground, its wooden body split into several pieces. He glanced around instinctively and saw a man walking a large dog in the distance. There was a crumpled note stuck on the wall beside it, which read, “Sorry, my dog knocked your mailbox over accidentally. I’ll come to fix it later.”
Seeing the broken mailbox and scattered wood pieces, Grandma sighed softly, her eyes filled with worry. She squatted down gently, stroked the worn wood with her rough hands, and murmured in a low voice, “What shall I do now ” Tom knew the elderly neighbors were heavily dependent on the newspapers. Without the mailbox, how could they get the news on time What if the dog owner broke his promise and couldn’t fix the mailbox today Watching Grandma’s helpless expression, he felt a strong desire in his heart.

【答案】范文：
Virtual Travel: A Window or a Wall
Recently, our school held a “Cloud Travel Week”, where we explored ancient cities through VR headsets. In my view, virtual travel is more of a window than a wall.
On the one hand, this technology is highly efficient. In the not-too-distant future, traveling will no longer be a luxury. It provides an instant way for us to visit distant places, which is especially beneficial for those living in rural areas.
Nevertheless, some people oppose the idea, fearing that digital screens might build a “wall” between us and reality. Personally, I believe this technology is not a fantasy but a great tool to broaden our horizons.
【答案】One possible version:
Considering the mailbox too old, Tom decided to build a new one. He squatted down to comfort Grandma, saying he would make a new and stronger one to let the neighbors get newspapers on time. Grandma nodded in relief, her worry fading a little as she patted Tom’s hand. Tom quickly sketched a design on paper, and then hurried to a nearby hardware store to buy materials. After he returned, he laid out all materials neatly, measured and marked the boards precisely with a ruler, and got ready to craft the new mailbox.
When all the preparations were done, the dog owner arrived. Looking guilty with a toolbox, he apologized sincerely, and explained his dog got excited when chasing a cat and knocked over the mailbox and that he’d been rushing over after handling his work to make up for it. Seeing Tom’s prepared materials and the sketch, he offered to help immediately. With Tom’s professional guidance on structure and his handy work with tools, they worked together smoothly to assemble, paint and install the mailbox. Grandma, Mr. Smith and Ms. Brown watched quietly, their faces full of joy and relief. Looking at the sturdy new blue mailbox, Tom realized architecture was not just about designing objects, but about using his skills to safeguard small kindnesses and build a more harmonious community.
