Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs
Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid (小行星) impact changed life on Earth forever. Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs is an exhibition that explores the before-and-after story of this event, which led to the extinction of non-bird dinosaurs and the majority of animal and plant species on the planet.
In this exhibition, you can step back in time to experience the planet during the Cretaceous (白垩纪) Period. This was a time when dinosaurs walked the earth, some dinosaurs flew in the skies, and massive marine reptiles — such as Mosasaurus and Plesiosauria — ruled the oceans.Plan Your Visit

At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being.
Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.
She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state — deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings.
When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures.
Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life.
4．Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture
A．Because of a sports injury.
B．Because of financial investment.
C．Because of emotional anxiety.
D．Because of a firm’s recommendation.
5．What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach
A．It relied on surroundings over needles.
B．It used finger pressure instead of needles.
C．It combined examination with assessment.
D．It prioritized observation over communication.
6．How did the author feel after having acupuncture
A．Tired. B．Pressured.
C．Cautious. D．Peaceful.
7．What does the author learn from her experience
A．Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B．You can’t pour from an empty cup.
C．Busy hands make a happy heart.
D．A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor.
A growing body of research from the past twenty years highlights that strong social relationships are crucial for our long-term physical and mental health. Obviously, chronic (慢性的) loneliness has been linked to a high risk of death. While the exact reasons remain under study, evidence increasingly suggests that our social lives directly influence our biological health.
A key challenge has been determining cause and effect. Many studies are observational, meaning they find a link but cannot prove that poor social connections cause poor health. It is possible that existing health issues lead to weaker social ties, or that other factors — like substance abuse — harm both health and relationships at the same time.
However, new research strengthens the case that strong social bonds actively protect our health. A recent study, examining over 2,000 middle-aged Americans, investigated a concept called “cumulative (累积的) social advantage (CSA)”. This measure combines four areas: support from communities, quality of parent-child relationships, community involvement, and emotional support from close ones.
Researchers compared participants’ CSA scores with their blood samples, using an advanced biological age marker. The results revealed a clear pattern: Individuals with higher social advantage tended to have slower biological aging and lower levels of inflammation (炎症). Essentially, better social connections correlated with a younger biological state.
While this study still shows correlation rather than proven causation (因果关系), it points to meaningful biological differences. By focusing on long-term markers like inflammation and cellular aging, it reduces the likelihood that the findings are merely due to lifestyle choices like diet or exercise. It suggests that strong, positive relationships may cause subtle, lasting physiological benefits — such as better immune function and stress regulation — which protect the body over time.
Therefore, nurturing friendships and community ties may be just as important for health as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. Prioritizing meaningful social connections is not only good for our happiness but can be a vital investment in our long-term well-being.
8．What can be the relationship between social lives and human health
A．Interactive. B．Short-term.
C．One-way. D．Irrelevant.
9．Why does the author mention CSA
A．To offer advice on community involvement.
B．To show the negative effects of inflammation.
C．To explain how biological aging is measured.
D．To present a way to judge social conditions.
10．What do the long-term markers help the study do
A．Rule out lifestyle choices as the only explanation.
B．Confirm inflammation as a contributor to aging.
C．Prove social relationships ensure better health.
D．Suggest diet matters less than social ties.
11．What is the main purpose of the last paragraph
A．To make a recommendation. B．To make a call.
C．To make a conclusion. D．To make a guess.
When advertising leaders call themselves “cockroaches (蟑螂)”, it is no self-criticism. It means that they have an extraordinary ability to survive great changes. Copywriters adjusted to radio in the 1920s; artists accepted TV in the 1950s; agencies survived the 2000s shift to online ads. Facing artificial intelligence (AI) — the most serious change — they gathered confidently at their annual Cannes meeting. As one of the fields most greatly influenced by AI, advertising offers a preview of how the technology will reshape other industries.
The gap between human ad workers and AI chatbots is narrower than imagined. Creative work was once thought safe from automation — large language models (LLMs) value predictability more than creativity. Yet while truly creative ads like attaching step-counters to chickens to promote free-range eggs are still made by humans, leading technology companies now offer AI tools that produce acceptable videos or rewrite ad copy. However, with large amounts of money spent on ads yearly, most goes to common campaigns. The claim that AI will handle 95% of marketing work and that humans may only keep the 5% most creative tasks is more a warning than an exaggeration (夸张).
Big companies gain most from AI, which goes against the idea that AI will make skills and intelligence available to all. Small businesses benefit — they can now make TV-quality ads for thousands instead of millions — but some big tech firms control half the global ad market. AI needs expensive computing power and large data sets, resources only the rich can get. Unlike human intelligence, which is widely spread, AI can be bought. Instead of making the competition fair, AI lets the wealthy hoard competitive advantages.
AI’s effects are hard to predict. Advertisers are moving budgets from TV to simple outdoor billboards — AI now uses big data to prove if people who saw the billboard bought the product, turning guesses into clear results. Traditional public relations is another unexpected winner: As consumers use chatbots more, brands must make LLMs speak well of them. The best way is to influence the news sources LLMs depend on. In the AI age, offline communication may work better than high-tech “search-engine optimization”. Though advertising has special survival skills, its AI experience shows what’s coming for all businesses.
12．What does the example of the “step-counter chicken campaign” mainly show
A．The wide use of creative marketing strategies.
B．The rapid development of AI advertising tools.
C．AI’s inability to finish common advertising tasks.
D．Humans’ unique advantage in creative advertising.
13．What does the underlined word “hoard” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Lose. B．Keep.
C．Share. D．Exchange.
14．What mainly leads to the growing popularity of outdoor billboards
A．AI’s ability to measure their effects accurately.
B．Their stronger visual attraction than TV ads.
C．Their lower cost than high-tech online campaigns.
D．Consumers’ growing preference for offline advertising.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．AI: A Threat to Advertising Leaders.
B．AI and Advertising: Changes and Lessons.
C．Big Companies: Winners of AI Revolution.
D．“Cockroaches” in AIAds: A Way to Survive.
If you want to age well, you probably already know the basics: eat a balanced diet, go for walks, stay socially engaged. 16 That is strength training. Experts say it matters just as much as the basics, and sometimes even more.
For decades, weightlifting was viewed as the domain of bodybuilders, powerlifters, or young athletes. 17 Lifting weights — or using your own bodyweight against resistance — turns out to be one of the most powerful tools we have for protecting health. It’s not about shaping a six-pack. It’s about strengthening bones and muscles, and even lowering the risk of chronic (慢性的) diseases.
Bones may feel solid, but they’re surprisingly dynamic. They respond to the stresses you put on them, getting stronger when they’re challenged and weaker when they’re not. Every time you do a push-up, or pick up a weight, you’re putting gentle stress on your bones. That pressure acts like a signal to your body. 18 Over time, bones’ structure gets stronger.
19 Muscle itself is metabolically (代谢上) active tissue, meaning it burns calories even when you’re sitting still. Think of it as the body’s built-in engine, quietly working along to keep your metabolism running. Strength training also offers protection against many of the most common chronic diseases of aging.
So how do you get started You don’t need to lift the heaviest weights in the gym. What matters more is showing up regularly and building strength gradually. 20 Even short, steady sessions a few times a week can add up to meaningful gains in health.
A．Its benefits don’t stop with bones.
B．It tells your body to reinforce bones.
C．But the study has overturned that assumption.
D．This process, however, can be risky for older adults.
E．But there is one more crucial habit for long-term health.
F．You also need to make it a habit you can sustain for years.
G．Therefore, focusing on diet and exercise is still the top priority.

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。
For years, I held the firm belief that being a good teacher meant showing up, no matter what life threw at me. I suffered from Crohn’s disease, whose pain could be almost unbearable at times. Yet I kept pushing through, skipping lunch to avoid triggering symptoms and staying late to perfect my teaching plans. I told myself that exhaustion was simply a sign of true dedication.
My students saw only the smiling, energetic teacher who greeted them each morning. Few knew about the pills hidden in my desk drawer or the quiet moments when I had to lean against the wall, waiting for the pain to pass. I took pride in never missing a single class, believing that my presence alone was what held everything together.
Then came the day when my body refused to keep silent. After weeks of pretending to be fine, I was sent to hospital with a severe complication, which forced me to leave my classroom. Strangely enough, my first thought was not about my own health. All I cared about was my students. I wondered who would guide them and how they could manage without me. The heavy sense of teacher guilt struck me even before the pain medication began to work.
During my stay in hospital, something totally unexpected happened, which reshaped my understanding of strength more deeply than the illness ever could. My students poured out their warmth by writing me sincere letters. My colleagues stepped in to help without any hesitation.
To my surprise, a special fund was even created to support my family, and warm meals began arriving at our door regularly. My co-workers visited me frequently, reassuring me that my only task now was to rest. I had long believed that without me, everything would fall apart — yet here I was, watching the world continue, held together by the very community I had devoted myself to.

Say No to Unhealthy Comparison
Recently, an unhealthy trend that students compare their sports shoes is spreading in our school. Many students care too much about shoe brands and prices, even asking parents to buy expensive ones blindly.
This unhealthy comparison does great harm. It will bring heavy financial pressure to our parents and affect our daily study. If we always focus on material comparison, we will form wrong values.
As students, we should concentrate on what really matters. Let’s refuse blind comparison and develop a healthy lifestyle.
47．
This experience opened my eyes completely. I finally realized that being a good teacher isn’t about never falling down, but about being brave enough to let others help when I’m weak. My stubborn dedication had made me overlook the warmth around me — my students’ care, my colleagues’ support, and the strength of our school community. True strength, I learned, isn’t in enduring alone, but in accepting kindness and letting our connections hold us up. Those letters and acts of care reminded me that teaching is a two-way journey, not a one-person sacrifice.
I returned to the classroom a changed teacher. I no longer hid my struggles; instead, I shared small truths about my health with my students, teaching them that it’s okay to be imperfect. I stopped skipping lunch and stayed late only when necessary, knowing that my well-being mattered too. Most importantly, I began to emphasize kindness and mutual support in my class, letting my students see that dedication means caring for ourselves as much as we care for others. That illness taught me the greatest lesson: a good teacher doesn’t hold everything together alone — we hold each other up.
