Most people celebrate their 80th birthday with cake and candles. Betty Kellenberger celebrated hers by making history.
The Michigan native recently became the oldest woman ever to hike the entire Appalachian Trail — a surprising 2,200-mile difficult walk that stretches across 14 states, with climbs and descents equal to climbing Mount Everest 16 times. “You see incredible parts of our country, things that you wouldn’t see otherwise,” said Kellenberger. “So much wildlife. It’s just beautiful.”
Kellenberger grew up on a farm in Howell, where her fascination with the famous footpath began. For years, she dreamed about hiking the trail from Georgia to Maine, but life never allowed for the six-month commitment it required. Eventually, she realized that nothing was holding her back — so in 2024, she took her first steps on what would become the adventure of a lifetime.
The journey wasn’t easy. Along the way, Kellenberger faced dehydration (脱水), falls, and even disease. It was also interrupted by Hurricane Helene, which tore through the eastern United States and forced her to pause at the southern Virginia border. Determined to finish, she rerouted north and continued in the spring of 2025, braving New England’s rocky terrain until the very end.
When she finally reached the end of the trail, the emotions hit hard. “So you’re a basket case,” she laughed. “You have so many emotions because you’re excited about finishing. I was really looking forward to saying, ‘I am done.’ But you also know you’re going to miss this big time. You’re not going to have what you have out on that trail. That peace, the tranquility.”
She described Maine and New Hampshire as the toughest stretches — but also the most rewarding. Now, after months of hiking through rain, heat, and hardship, Kellenberger says she’s in the best shape of her life.
4. What history did 80-year-old Kellenberger make
A. She lived as long a life as 80 years. B. She spent a lifetime exploring.
C. She climbed Mount Everest all alone. D. She made a long tough journey.
5. What does the third paragraph indicate
A. The hiking was her long-held dream. B. She was a natural sports enthusiast.
C. Her celebration was one like no other. D. Her difficult life killed her pursuit.
6. What can we infer from paragraph 5
A. Her success was incomparable. B. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
C. The experience blew her away. D. She hadn’t expected the outcome.
7. Which word best describes Kellenberger from her episode
A. Self-centered. B. Emotional. C. Long-lived. D. Adventurous.
C
With the help of artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have developed new antibiotics (抗生素) capable of combating two dangerous drug-resistant bacteria: Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) . Using generative AI models, the team designed over 36 million potential compounds and screened them for antibacterial properties. The most promising candidates exhibit unique chemical structures distinct from existing antibiotics and function by disrupting bacterial cell walls — a novel mechanism of action.
This innovative approach allows scientists to explore previously uncharted chemical territories. Professor James Collins, senior author of the study, stated, “Our work demonstrates AI’s power in drug design and enables us to access much larger chemical spaces.” This breakthrough comes at a critical time when antibiotic resistance causes nearly 5 million global deaths annually, while few truly new antibiotics have reached the market in recent decades.
The researchers tried two different approaches with AI. First, they asked the AI to design molecules (分子) based on a known antibacterial fragment, which produced a compound called NG1. This compound successfully treated drug-resistant gonorrhea in laboratory tests and in mice. Second, they allowed the AI to freely create new molecules, which led to another compound named DN1 that cured MRSA skin infections in mice. Both compounds work by attacking bacterial cell walls, making them effective against drug-resistant strains.
These discoveries provide new hope for solving the antibiotic resistance crisis. A nonprofit organization is now working to improve these compounds for possible human use, while the research team plans to use their AI method to fight other dangerous bacteria in the future.
8. How do the newly created antibiotics work
A. By changing the genes of bacteria. B. By stopping bacteria from reproducing.
C. By damaging the structure of bacteria. D. By strengthening human immune cells.
9. What does the underlined word “uncharted” in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A. Unexplored. B. Dangerous. C. Remote. D. Unclaimed.
10. Which statement about the two AI approaches is true
A. The two approaches targeted the same bacteria.
B. Both approaches produced the same compound.
C. One was guided while the other was autonomous.
D. One was meaningful while the other was controversial.
11. What is the attitude of the research team towards the future of their AI method
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Conservative.
D
New research led by Brian Meier, a professor of psychology, provides convincing evidence of humans’ deep-seated preference for products labeled as “natural”, demonstrating how this bias (偏见) significantly influences real-world decision-making even when potential risks are involved.
Prior studies have shown that the bias extends across various fields. However, many of them relied on self-reported preferences in hypothetical scenarios (假设情景), leaving a gap in our understanding of how the bias influences actual behavior. Therefore, Brian and his colleagues conducted three experiments to test participants’ choices and performances in different contexts.
The first experiment involved 174 college students who were led to believe they were testing a strength-enhancing drink described as either natural or synthetic (合成的). When asked to choose between the two options before repeating a strength test, an overwhelming 84% selected the natural-labeled drink, despite both being identical water samples.
In the second experiment, 98 students were offered chocolate described as containing either natural or synthetic cocoa, with researchers introducing an element of risk by mentioning potential stomach discomfort. Remarkably, 84% still chose the natural option, maintaining their preference even when facing possible negative effects.
The third experiment extended the research beyond laboratory settings, approaching 200 passers-by on a street. Participants evaluated stickers described as using natural or synthetic ink, then selected one to keep. Results showed 66% preferred natural-labeled stickers, which they also rated as higher quality and more appealing than the synthetic ones.
“The vast majority of subjects exhibited a clear behavioral preference that was influenced solely by the ‘natural’ label across all three experimental contexts,” Meier stated. The research, which spanned diverse settings and product categories, yielded remarkably consistent results, strongly confirming the profound impact of naturalness branding on consumer decision-making.
Based on these convincing findings, Meier and his research team have outlined several promising avenues for further investigation. Their future work aims to dive deeper into the underlying cognitive and emotional mechanisms of this “naturalness bias”, unlocking its potential applications in strategic marketing and public policy making.
12. How did Brian Meier’s research differ from earlier studies on naturalness bias
A. It explored completely new fields. B. It repeated experiments for accuracy.
C. It tested people in real-life situations. D. It focused more on data comparison.
13. What can be inferred from the three experiments
A. Risks lower the preference. B. The bias depends on product type.
C. The synthetic option tasted better. D. The bias works despite no real difference.
14. What is a possible future research direction for the team
A. Behavioral bias. B. Consumer behavior.
C. Product labeling strategies. D. Hidden psychological mechanisms.
15. What might be the best title for the passage
A. The Power of “Natural”: How Labels Shape Our Decisions
B. The Risks of Natural Products: A Psychological Analysis
C. Natural VS Synthetic: Consumer Choices in Everyday Life
D. Beyond the Label: New Research in Consumer Psychology
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
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。
“Different strokes for different folks” applies as much to dining as to anything else. Food preferences are not just about flavors. They are also about where the ingredients come from, how they are processed, and what cooking methods are used. ___16___ Left unchecked, incomplete or misleading information could spark disputes, damage trust and even raise food safety concerns.
The controversy over “pre-made” dishes in China shows just how divisive this issue has become. ___17___ Yet whichever side people are on, one thing is clear: they prefer to be kept “well-informed”.
However, there is a sharp perception gap between what consumers seek and what restaurant operators offer. In practice, restaurateurs tend not to view their offerings as pre-made. ___18___
How, then, should pre-made dishes be regulated The answer depends on whether we treat them as a product or a process. If they are treated as products, legislators (立法委员) could adopt a “menu- style” approach while drafting regulations, and setting specific rules for each type of pre- made dish. ___19___ Specifically, they might ask: Were the dishes made from scratch Or were they prepared industrially This distinction isn’t about safety alone, but reflects values like sustainability, tradition, taste, and price sensitivity. Nevertheless, both approaches must follow a common principle: labels must not be misleading.
But bridging the gap between public perception and professional definition requires more than just rules. ___20___ Done right, regulations can ensure consumer choice and trust, industrial innovation and cultural confidence all grow together.
A. These details should be disclosed to consumers.
B. It affects price, freshness, and even its cultural meaning.
C. China’s rising pre- made dish sales stem from rapid industrialization.
D. Some diners welcome convenience, while others prioritize freshness.
E. It calls for sustained communication on what counts as pre- made food.
F. But consumers often do, because they focus on sourcing and preparation.
G. If the focus is on the process, consumers would ask how their dishes were made.

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。
On a cold, damp evening in mid-November, a sharp wind cut through the streets, but Jack paid little attention to the chill. As a delivery rider, he had just finished a few smooth orders, his hands warm from the hot milk tea cups he’d been carrying, and his spirits fairly good. Stepping out of a milk tea shop, he found the spot where his second-hand electric bike had been parked now empty. In an instant, his heart sank, and a wave of hopelessness swept over him, turning his calm evening into a nightmare. That bike was far more than just a vehicle; it was his lifeline, the only way for him to earn daily income and cover his living expenses.
Panic set in as he remembered the undelivered orders — especially a cup of hot milk tea for Ms. White, a regular customer. His hand trembled as he pressed the voice button, his words laced with sorrow and anxiety as he apologized repeatedly, offering to pay for the undelivered drink. To his great surprise, Ms. White did not respond with anger or complaint, but with gentle kindness. Ms. White told him not to worry and to take his time finding his bike.
Her understanding words calmed him, but also deepened his sense of responsibility. “She is so kind. I cannot let her down,” he thought. For nearly two hours, he searched every nearby street, but there was no sign of his bike. As night grew darker and the wind bit harder, Jack clenched his fists and made a firm decision. He took out his poor savings, bought a bag of fresh apples and a new cup of hot milk tea, then set off on foot to Ms. White’s apartment, several kilometers away. The wind bit into his thin jacket, and his old shoes grew heavy with mud, but the thought of keeping his promise and maintaining his integrity kept him moving forward through the dimly lit urban landscape.
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。
Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night.

【答案】Dear Luke,
I’m writing to share my idea for our performance at the International Cultural Festival themed “Bridging the World, Sharing the Future”.
How about a cross-cultural music duet We can combine traditional Chinese music with British folk songs, which perfectly fits the theme by showing cultural integration. It will also be engaging and highlight our respective cultural roots.
Shall we meet at the school music room this Friday afternoon to discuss details like song selection and arrangement Please let me know if the time works for you.
Looking forward to your reply!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【答案】One possible version:
Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White’s doorstep and rang the bell. The door opened, revealing a woman whose expression shifted from curiosity to surprise and then to heartfelt sympathy as she saw the exhausted man before her. His clothes were dusty, but the gifts in his hands were held with care. “Ms. White, these are for you,” he grinned, offering the apples and milk tea. “Wishing you happiness and good health. I am truly sorry about the delay.” Tears welled up in Ms. White’s eyes. “Oh, Jack! You shouldn’t have walked such a long way just for this!” she said, her voice soft with emotion for his unshakable honesty, even amid his own misfortune!
Deeply moved by Jack’s action, Ms. White decided to share the story online that night. She posted a video describing what happened, writing, “Even when caught in his own storm, he still reached out to warm others.” The post quickly went viral, receiving millions of likes and shares. Strangers were touched by the ordinary man’s extraordinary act. The wave of kindness soon reached his delivery company. They promptly responded, providing Jack with a brand-new e-bike and a cash reward to support his honest work. Even more wonderfully, with the help of numerous alert eyes online, his original bike was located and returned.
