Healthy Eating Plate
Use the Healthy Eating Plate as a guide for creating healthy, balanced meals-whether served at the table or packed in a lunch box.
Building a Healthy and Balanced Diet
The Healthy Eating Plate presents a simple visual guide to building a healthy meal. By showing different food groups on one plate, it stresses balance, choice, and everyday eating habits.
These guidelines highlight what matters most in healthy eating:
· The type of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) in the diet is more important than the amount of carbohydrate, because some sources-like vegetables (other than potatoes), fruits, whole grains, and beans-are healthier than others.
· It advises consumers to avoid sugary drinks, a major source of calories-usually with little nutritional value-in the American diet.
· It encourages consumers to use healthy oils, and it does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat. In this way, the Healthy Eating Plate recommends the opposite of the low-fat message promoted for decades by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Your Plate and the Planet
Just as different foods can have different impacts on human health, they also have different impacts on the environment. Food production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (排放, and it places an enormous demand upon our earth’s natural resources.
1. What does the main message of the Healthy Eating Plate suggest.
A. Counting calories first.
B. Following a low-fat diet.
C. Cutting carbohydrate intake.
D. Focusing on diet quality.
2. Which food choice would be most likely questioned?
A. Nuts added to a salad. B. Brown rice with beans
C. Steamed fish with vegetables. D. Bacon served with white bread.
3. Why is the USDA mentioned in the text?
A. To explain how food policies are made.
B. To highlight the changes in dietary views.
C. To show that the Plate takes official advice.
D. To support the idea of limiting fat consumption.
B
This summer I confronted three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing. Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road.
On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief.
Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us — the brown mother in front, her cub behind.
Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome!
On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind.
Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation.
4. How did the author cross the bridge?
A. By taking mindful steps.
B. By rushing across it bravely.
C. By using her sense of direction.
D. By having the guide drag her over
5. What does the author imply by describing the bears as “Taken aback”?
A. They were injured by the hiking poles.
B. They were alarmed by the group’s reaction.
C. They were scared by the noise of rapids.
D. They hesitated due to mother’s instinct.
6. Why did the guide ask for a stick, rock, and leaf.
A. To serve as a souvenir of the trip.
B. To check understanding of natural elements.
C. To reflect on their journey and emotions.
D. To take their minds off physical tiredness.
7. Which best explains the author’s feeling in the last paragraph?
A. She took pride in her physical toughness.
B. She had completely got over the worry of aging.
C. She eased her fear of getting old through a shift in perspective.
D. She expected to be awarded for her participation.
C
In June 2025, entertainment giants Disney and Universal Studios took legal action against Midjourney, an AI image tool, for breaking copyright laws. The legal case claims Midjourney used thousands of protected characters from Star Wars, superhero films and Pixar films to train its AI without permission. “This is not inspiration; it is mechanical copying,” the complaint states, noting that AI output directly competes with official products.
This case marks a significant increase in AI copyright conflicts. Before, most court cases involved individual artists, but now large companies with large creative works have joined the battle. Disney and Universal seek payment and a court order to remove their protected works from Midjourney’s training data. Experts say the claim could reach hundreds of millions of dollars.
Notably, this controversy also highlights a key technical challenge: current AI systems struggle to tell the difference between legitimate reference and unauthorized copying. A 2025 study by MIT researchers shows that vision-language models — systems that process both images and text — have serious difficulties understanding negation. For example, when tested with phrases like “a person is running” versus “a person is not running,” these models often fail to recognize the difference.
Lead author Dr. Mert Yuksekgonul explained: “These models treat ‘not’ as unimportant noise, often ignoring it.” This problem affects content regulation. When users ask for images with negative limits — such as “a superhero not wearing a red cape” or “a cartoon mouse not looking like Mickey” — AI often creates exactly what it should avoid. Safety blockers based on negative instructions are thus ineffective.
Midjourney defends itself by comparing AI training to human learning. However, Disney and Universal say this comparison fails: human artists change their influences through creativity, while AI mechanically piece existing elements together.
Legal experts say the case will test “fair use” rules in the AI era. Columbia Law School professor Jane Ginsburg commented: “If the court sees AI training as creative change, it protects the industry. If not allowed use of protected content is seen as breaking the law, many AI models must be completely redesigned.” The trial starts in early 2026 and may take years to conclude. Meanwhile, a class-action lawsuit (集体诉讼) launched by thousands of artists against Midjourney in 2023 continues in California courts.
8. What is the purpose of mentioning the case in Paragraph 1?
A. To support traditional filmmaking.
B. To introduce legal progress in AI copyright.
C. To compare different methods of filmmaking.
D. To criticize the quality of AI-generated films.
9. What does “negation” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Expressing a negative meaning.
B. Creating images with negative content.
C. Rejecting what users ask for.
D. Lowering the quality of images.
10. What can we infer from the MIT study?
A. AI can easily recognize Disney characters.
B. AI has a better understanding of negation.
C. AI safety protections may fail to work effectively.
D. AI does not need copyright protection.
11. What’s Ginsburg’s attitude to the lawsuit?
A. Confident Disney will win.
B. Cautious about its result.
C. Against AI technology.
D. Unconcerned about the case.
D
The idea of generating electricity from rainfall has been a long-standing fascination for scientists seeking sustainable energy solutions. Each year, approximately 100,000 cubic kilometers of rain fall on land annually — a dynamic resource that could power remote sensors and reduce fossil fuel dependence. Yet, common solid-state generators (发电机), typically constructed using hard non-conductive layers on heavy metal bases, suffer from a fundamental challenge: their structural mass and manufacturing costs increase rapidly alongside their capacity, making large-scale employment economically unaffordable.
A pioneering team at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has boldly challenged this common engineering approach. Their innovative floating generator removes the solid base, applying the strategy of using a supporting water body as both a structural foundation and a conductive electrode (电极). This significant shift — from treating water as mere context to recognizing it as a functional structure — resolves the weight-cost dilemma. Analysis shows an 80% mass reduction and 50% cost decrease with no output loss: peak voltages (电压) reach 250V per droplet, matching advanced solid-state systems.
The device’s effectiveness relies heavily on employing water’s natural physical properties. Surface pull provides essential mechanical stability, while its ability to maintain structural soundness permits effective energy transmission. Furthermore, ions (离子) within the solution actively promote charge transfer.
Stability tests demonstrated stable performance under changing temperatures and salt levels, as well as exposure to naturally active lake water — hard conditions that typically damage standard laboratory test models despite the detection of minor organism build up on the sensor surface.
The practical application test was carried out using a 0.3m? unit that successfully lit up 50 LEDs and charged capacitors. Professor Guo Wanlin characterized the innovation as “transforming water’s role from passive medium to active participant,” unlocking “lightweight, cost-effective energy harvesting.” Future applications in lakes avoid land-use competition, a critical renewable energy restriction.
Nevertheless, many uncertainties still exist regarding widespread adoption. Real-world rainfall patterns and the long-term influence of living things on the device remain unclear. The researchers acknowledge these limitations, situating the current achievement as a promising but initial step toward a future where rain not only sustains life but also powers our world.
12. What is the core limitation of common generators?
A. Rising mass and cost with capacity.
B. Dependence on rare non-conductive materials.
C. Inability to function in wet conditions.
D. Failure to generate sufficient voltage.
13. The word “shift” in Paragraph 2 refers to a change in ________.
A. the commercial target of the technology
B. the physical location of application
C. the theoretical framework of conversion
D. the fundamental role of water
14. What is the primary advantage of the new energy harvester highlighted in the research?
A. Replacement of solar panels in limited areas.
B. Minimal upkeep in extreme conditions.
C. Sustainable approach to energy harvesting.
D. Reliable function despite minor organism attachment.
15. How does the author characterize the current stage of development?
A. A proven technology with immediate application.
B. A fully realized solution ready for use.
C. An experimental idea with too many risks.
D. A promising concept facing remaining challenges.

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。
Making homes safer for elderly family members is essential to prevent accidents and improve quality of life. A few simple changes can greatly reduce risks and give both seniors and their caregivers peace of mind.
____16____. Go through each room carefully and look for potential dangers such as loose wires, messy floors, or unstable furniture. Document these observations systematically, focusing on areas with the highest foot traffic. Without such records, critical safety risks may be overlooked during further renovations (翻新).
Falls are the leading cause of injury among seniors. Start by clearing pathways of any obstacles like boxes, shoes, or small furniture. Remove loose carpets whenever possible, as they are a major trip danger. ____17____ Without such precautions, even a thick rug can shift underfoot and cause a fall.
The bathroom is a particularly high-risk area. Wet floors and hard surfaces create a dangerous combination. ____18____ The resulting stability proves critical during postural transitions, as seniors often lose their balance when moving from sitting to standing. Non-slip mats are also a must for both the tub / shower and the bathroom floor.
Good lighting is crucial for preventing falls and helping with daily tasks. Brightness may cause confusion. However, faintly lit hallways, stairs, and rooms are causes for disaster, especially for those with declining eyesight. ____19____ This measure not only lights up pathways but also preserves biological rhythms messed up by sudden brightness changes.
____20____ In the event of a sudden health crisis, having immediate access to phone numbers for doctors and family members can save precious time. Yet preparation goes beyond changing the environment to include backup plans. Taking these steps will create a safer, more comfortable living environment for older adults.
A. Equip support bars at transfer points.
B. Position low-intensity lights along passages.
C. This benefits those with mobility limitations.
D. In summary, home safety comes first for seniors.
E. It’s important to secure carpets with double-sided tape.
F. However, safety involves more than physical changes.
G. Thoroughly identifying risks is the key to home safety.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
An emergency room doctor named Shane Naidoo participated in the New Jersey Half Marathon on September 28th. Despite his professional commitments and job demands, Naidoo has always found time to lace up (系) his running shoes and hit the pavement. As an amateur athlete who had not been engaging in strict training in recent weeks, he had set relatively low expectations for himself. He had planned to simply enjoy the race and maintain a leisurely pace throughout. What he didn’t know was that this ordinary race would take an unexpected turn that would redefine its meaning for him.
Near the marathon’s halfway mark in Newport, Naidoo saw a mid-thirties female runner, Chrystal Rinehold, collapse suddenly just ahead of him. The entire scene unfolded suddenly. Naidoo, who works at JFK University Medical Center, immediately rushed to her side with four other witnesses, his medical instincts (本能) kicking in as he started assessing her condition. Among them, a race volunteer in a bright orange vest quickly radioed for help, while another witness, wearing an official’s badge, assisted in clearing the crowded path.
Upon conducting a thorough examination of her, he discovered that she was struggling to breathe and barely able to speak. She whispered in a weak voice, “I think I’m dying.” Naidoo strongly suspected that she might be suffering from dehydration (脱水) or low blood sugar levels. Such conditions could prove deadly for runners, especially during long-distance events like this one. Moreover, he also noticed that she was experiencing chest pain and confusion, symptoms that were extremely alarming and indicated a potential risk of cardiac arrest (心脏骤停). This situation demanded immediate and decisive action, leaving no time for him to think about his unfinished race.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Naidoo called for medical assistance while giving instructions to people around.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hurrying back to the race course, Naidoo found that the marathon’s closing time had just arrived.

【答案】
Naidoo called for medical assistance while giving instructions to people around. He told the nearby crowd to step back at once to keep the air clear and avoid blocking the rescue way. Relying on his emergency room experience, he helped the woman lie in a safe position, checked her pulse and breathing nonstop, and whispered gentle words to calm her down and ease her fear. He also took quick first aid steps to relieve her chest discomfort and stabilize her condition. Before long, the professional medical team arrived and took over, and the woman’s situation got much better.
Hurrying back to the race course, Naidoo found that the marathon’s closing time had just arrived. He failed to cross the finish line and didn’t finish the half marathon as planned. However, he felt no regret. As an emergency doctor, saving a life was always more important than any race result. This unexpected experience taught him that sports is not just about competition, but about kindness and responsibility. Although he gave up the race, he got the most valuable reward — saving a stranger’s life, which filled his heart with pride.
