(A)Is Exercise as Good as Antidepressants
A. blinded B. essential C. flaws D. interventions AB. motivation AC. pooled
AD. psychological BC. reliability BD. separate CD. unwelcome ABC. vulnerable
For those in depression, few things are more tiresome than being told to exercise. But (31)
____________ advice is not necessarily wrong. Study after study has found that exercise boosts mood and
2
reduces anxiety. Two large analyses published earlier this year go further, suggesting that it works about as
well as therapy or antidepressants.
The first took the form of a Cochrane review – a well-regarded meta-analysis of health-care research.
It (32) ____________ the results of 69 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted to measure the
effects of exercise on depression. The second paper was a so-called meta-meta-analysis. It drew on more
than 1,000 trials involving nearly 80,000 participants. Both concluded that exercise reduces symptoms of
depression and anxiety by roughly as much as conventional treatments.
However, there are potential experimental errors. The (33) ____________ of meta-analyses mostly
depends on the studies they include, and exercise trials are at high risk of bias. For one thing, participants
cannot be blinded – they know if they are doing push-ups or not – which makes their self-reported mood
(34) ____________ to any favourable expectations they might have.
What’s more, the meta-meta-analysis did not include any studies that tested exercise against other (35)
____________. The findings from the exercise trials were, instead, compared against those from (36)
____________ trials of antidepressants or therapy. But unlike exercise studies, RCTs of antidepressants are
typically well (37) ____________ and have strong placebo effects (安慰剂效应), making it harder for them
to achieve similarly impressive results.
Despite these (38) ____________, most researchers are still confident that exercise helps improve
mood. Aerobic workouts seem to be particularly beneficial across the board. It appears to reduce
inflammation and improve brain plasticity, as well as increasing the transmission of dopamine (多巴胺) in
the brain. Dopamine helps weigh effort against reward, so increasing transmission may help reverse the
loss of (39) ____________ associated with depression. There are also purely (40) _________ benefits.
Exercise can provide people with a sense of achievement, agency and eventually mastery, all of which are
known to lift mood. However, why exercise works is far from clear.
（B）Discovery of an Ancient Roman Mosaic
A. particularly B. accessible C. ruins D. excavations AB. features AC. finds
AD. senior BC. official BD. press CD. imported ABC. deliberately
A beautiful, remarkably well-preserved mosaic that was “hidden for thousands of years” has been uncovered
by archaeologists in northwestern England. The mosaic, which (41) ________ fish and dolphins, was discovered in
Wroxeter Roman City. As the fourth largest city in Roman Britain, almost as big as Pompeii during its heyday, its
(42) ________ now survive as an archaeological and educational site about 50 miles west of Birmingham.
Still displaying its bright white, red, blue and yellow colors, the mosaic is the first to be discovered at
Wroxeter since 1859, according to a(n) (43) ________ release from Vianova Archaeology, which was involved in
the dig.
It was likely in the dining room of a wealthy person or city (44) ________ used to “entertaining
wealthy guests” who was “determined to impress people with this fine mosaic,” Win Scutt, (45) _______
properties curator at English Heritage, which runs the site, told CNN. Scutt added that archaeologists can’t
be completely sure of its function because they have only had a “glimpse” of it.
A mosaic featuring six colors, requiring stones to be (46) ________ from outside the local area, and
one that depicts designs like this has never been found in Wroxeter before, said Roger White, an
archaeologist at the University of Birmingham.
Discovering such a mosaic, (47) ________ one that dates back to the early 2nd century, was an
unexpected boon for the archaeologists, who had initially expected only 4th-century (48) ________. The
mosaic likely survived for all this time because the room was filled in with building debris to raise up its
3
interior, likely sometime in the 3rd or 4th century. This protective fill layer made the mosaic (49) ________
without disturbing deeper historical remains.
“Our (50) ________ were in hope of discovering the walls of this building, but we never suspected we
would find a beautiful and intact mosaic, which had lain hidden for thousands of years,” Scutt added.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A (15*1=15’) Not So Cold-Blooded
The word reptilian (爬虫类的) doesn’t describe just lizards and snakes. When (51) ___________ humans, it
means an unfriendly and unfeeling type of person. But scientists agree that reptiles aren’t emotionless. A growing
body of studies are pushing back on the widely-accepted notion that reptiles only have the capability for (52)
___________ instincts, and not for emotional intelligence. While they may not be outwardly (53) ___________ in
the same way that humans or other mammals are, reptiles are indeed highly social animals, and have developed
complex (54) ___________ for parental care, courtship, and nesting.
However, even as research on reptile (55) ___________ continues to build, the stereotypes around
reptilian emotions have, to some extent, (56) ___________ to this day.
This myth largely stems from the concept of the “lizard brain”. Popularized in the 1970s by astronomer and
science communicator Carl Sagan, the term refers to the parts of the human brain that we use for survival nature.
Based on this theory, the human brain evolved over time by adding progressively more (57) ___________
structures to this underdeveloped “lizard brain,” including the limbic (边缘的) system, which is the source of our
emotions. Because reptiles are our evolutionary predecessors, some researchers long believed that this (58)
___________ part of the brain was the only part that originated with our scaly (有鳞片的) ancestors, and that
without humanlike brain structures, reptiles didn’t have the capacity for emotions at all.
Scientists say it may also partly because reptiles express their emotions differently than humans. In a
2021 study, researchers found that lizards emit chemicals to communicate with each other, meaning they’re
much harder to (59) ___________ than their mammalian counterparts.
Additionally, reptiles are relatively (60) ___________, which can make them hard to study. Some
species of reptiles, (61) ___________, are known to disappear for months at a time, leading to difficulties
in collecting data and kickstarting (62) ___________ efforts.
In fact, more and more reptilian species are threatened by habitat loss and considered endangered,
among which desert-dwelling reptiles are particularly vulnerable in the face of extreme (63) ___________.
The long-established misconception, however, can lead to a lack of consciousness for reptiles’ needs in
captivity (人工圈养) and in the wild. What worries scientists and conservationists most is that our tendency
to dismiss reptiles isn’t just (64) ___________. For decades, instead, it has impacted the level of habitat
protections they’re afforded. It is emphasized that (65) ___________ reptiles’ capacity for emotion can help
pet owners and policymakers alike take better care of them.

Section B (15*2=30’) (A)
Probably the number one complaint about reading Shakespeare is that it doesn’t always read like
“normal” English. It’s a natural and reasonable accusation. Shakespeare wrote for an audience over 400
years ago. Think about how word meanings and expressions change over a relatively short time; four
centuries bring with them a lot of differences. The Renaissance and England’s emerging status as a sea
power exposed the language to an ever-increasing range of cultures and languages. At the same time, there
was no real standardization in English. Formal dictionaries and grammar textbooks simply did not exist.
“Proper” education focused much more on classical Latin than on oral English. Because of this neglect,
English had a certain flexibility to it, of which Shakespeare took advantage.
So how can a reader today bridge that gap between then and now There are two critical issues to
address: word usage and grammar. Once you understand these fundamental concepts, Shakespeare
becomes a lot more accessible.
First and foremost, there have been numerous vocabulary changes in English since Shakespeare was writing.
While many words are still recognizable today, others have shifted in their meaning or dropped altogether from
usage. Often the context in which a word is used will help you determine its meaning. Furthermore, a good book
edition with detailed footnotes will help you, as well as a good dictionary. The more you read the works of
Shakespeare, the more familiar you will become with the words. Another great way to get an understanding of the
language is to watch his works in performance. A good actor can really make the language come to life by adding
emotions into the lines he speaks. It is said that even in Shakespeare’s day, the audience probably wouldn’t have
understood 10% more than you; they also relied on visuals and emotions to understand.
Grammar is where the flexibility of Shakespeare’s English is often most apparent. Parts of speech are
frequently switched, such as nouns or adjectives becoming verbs. Shakespeare habitually wrote sentences where
verbs and subjects don’t always agree. Moreover, the sentence construction adds to confusion, with inversions of
the basic subject-verb-object order. While we would say, “John caught the ball,” Shakespeare might express the
same idea with sentences like “John the ball caught,” or “The ball John caught.”
66. Which of the following is NOT cited as a reason for the non-standardized nature of English in
Shakespeare’s time
A. More educational focus on classical Latin.
B. External cultural and linguistic influences on the language.
C. Shakespeare’s tendency to take advantage of English flexibility.
D. Lack of grammar textbooks and widely-recognized dictionaries.
67. Which of the following advice may help you with reading Shakespeare
A. Rely on your visuals and emotions while reading.
B. Guess the meaning of some words out of the context.
C. Buy a book edition without explanations and footnotes.
D. Consult an authoritative dictionary for unfamiliar words.
68. Which of the following is NOT a typical example of Shakespeare’s flexible use of grammar
A. He childed as I fathered. B. I should be false persuaded.
C. Love all, trust a few, and do wrong to none. D. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines.
5
69. What is the primary purpose of the passage
A. To detail the historical events that influenced Shakespeare’s writing style.
B. To compare the vocabulary of Elizabethan English with that of modern English.
C. To explain the linguistic challenges in reading Shakespeare and suggest ways to overcome them.
D. To emphasize the superiority of watching Shakespeare’s plays over reading them and popularize
the performances.

We’ve put reacting on autopilot. We pounce, panic, and intensify distress rather than pause and
regulate. A teenager plunges when a selfie doesn’t get enough likes; a parent assumes their career is at risk
after one critical email. These quick outbursts reflect what I have termed an “overreaction epidemic”: small
triggers snowball into outsize emotional responses.
Predictably, the response to this idea has been extreme. After I wrote about this topic, thousands of
people messaged me. Many accused me of being tone-deaf, arguing I was asking people to “calm down”
while global tensions rise or climate disasters grow. “Imagine the layers of privilege it takes to deceive
people into thinking they are overreacting,” one critic stated. Others pushed back in the opposite direction,
insisting that given the state of the world, we are actually “underreacting”.
All these perspectives hold truth. However, the solution to the overreaction epidemic is emotion
regulation — a concept that is often misunderstood.
Emotion regulation is a set of intentional skills for managing feelings wisely. At its core, it is about
choosing responses that reflect our goals and values. Clearly, the word “overreaction” can be a trigger point.
For many, it signals dismissal, as if I were saying “Your fear is invalid.” That is not my message. Fear,
anger, and grief are appropriate responses to real crises. The problem arises when emotions run unchecked.
We erupt in anger, drown in negative feeds until 2 a.m., or paralyze ourselves with despair. Over time, we
burn out before we can meaningfully act.
Many people hear “regulate” and think “contain”. They imagine some kind of emotion police telling
us what we may not feel. But regulation isn’t about obedience; it’s about power. It is about deciding how to
use our emotions so they fuel action rather than hijack it.
Take anger, for example. Anger is not a problem to be eliminated; it is crucial data telling us our
moral code is being violated. However, anger without direction is like a wildfire. It burns hot and fast, then
leaves nothing but ashes. With emotion regulation, that same anger becomes a steady flame — a force that
warms, guides, and endures. Civil rights leaders didn’t succeed because they lacked rage; they succeeded
because they learned to channel it without being consumed.
Furthermore, we almost never regulate alone. We shape one another’s states all day long, a process
called co regulation. Think of the teacher who calms a nervous child, or the friend who listens with
empathy. These small acts are the fabric of resilience. Conversely, dismissing or escalating someone else’s
feelings is also a form of co-regulation — just the unhealthy kind. Movements endure only when people
create microclimates of safety and trust.
We live in an era of rising uncertainty and mounting challenges. No one is suggesting we look away.
But living in constant panic will not save us. Emotion regulation doesn’t tell us to ignore crises. It equips us
7
to face them without losing ourselves — or one another — in the process. The world doesn’t need less
passion. It needs passion that lasts.
70. Why did the author’s previous writing on the “overreaction epidemic” cause strong criticism from readers
A. Readers felt his advice was scientifically inaccurate and lacked evidence.
B. Critics believed he was dismissing the justification of their reactions to real crises.
C. People argued overreacting was the most effective way to solve social problems.
D. He was accused of encouraging people to express their anger too aggressively.
71. What point does the author intend to make by comparing regulated anger to a “steady flame”
A. Anger is a destructive force that must be extinguished immediately.
B. Stable expression of anger demands specialized techniques for communication.
C. Regulated emotions provide a sustainable source of energy for long-term action.
D. Civil rights leaders succeeded because they had less rage than people do today.
72. The concept of “co-regulation” refers to ________.
A. a mutual process where individuals influence each other’s emotional states
B. a technique used exclusively by teachers to calm nervous students
C. the tendency of society to collectively ignore uncomfortable truths
D. the individual's capacity to manage emotions independently
73. The best title of the passage is ________.
A. The Global Rise of Overreaction and Its Critics
B. How Co-regulation Shapes Our Emotional Lives
C. Controlling Emotions: A Misguided Approach to Crisis
D. From Overreaction to Regulation: Mastering Emotional Responses
(D)
A. The least understood among these is the odyssey itself, the formative decade of wandering.
B. People experiment with careers, values, and life directions, trying to build a stable sense of self.
C. Of these, the most lasting is the odyssey, a critical period for one’s true independence and overall maturity.
D. Yet, to view the Odyssey Years merely as a period of confusion or avoidance is to miss its deeper
significance.
AB. The modern path from the end of education to a sense of true independence is becoming longer, less
linear, and more loosely defined.
AC. Therefore, the concept of Odyssey Years perfectly echoes youngsters’ inner confusion, gaining
widespread popularity among them.
The Modern Odyssey of Adulthood
Recently, the term “Odyssey Years” has surged as a trending topic on Chinese social media. Coined
by American columnist David Brooks, it describes the distinct transitional phase between adolescence and
stable adulthood, typically spanning from one’s early twenties to the mid-thirties. In his work, Brooks notes
that while life was once commonly seen in four stages – childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age, it
now unfolds in at least six – childhood, adolescence, odyssey, adulthood, active retirement and old age.
(77)_______________
The term draws directly on the metaphor of Homer’s ancient Greek epic, The Odyssey, which tells the
story of Odysseus and his long, uncertain journey home after the Trojan War. His path was filled with
unforeseen challenges, mythical monsters, and relentless temptations, which ultimately becomes a
foundational narrative about adventure, perseverance, and finding one’s way back home.
This intricate modern life stage is defined by several key features. First, as traditional milestones like
8
marriage, home ownership, and settling down are increasingly delayed in modern life, it represents a
prolonged exploration period. (78) _______________ Like Odysseus sailing uncharted seas, this naturally
leads to a widespread uncertainty and confusion among young adults in this phase.
This fluid state also drives a deep search for identity exploration and reinvention.
(79)_______________ Sociologist Xiang Biao describes a part of this experience as a “floating” state – a
life of constant motion that may lack deep reflection or lasting connection.
(80) _______________ Rather, it is increasingly understood as a necessary path to maturity, serving as
a crucial time for self-evaluation and for laying a solid foundation for a stable and purposeful adult life. In
this sense, the odyssey is not a detour from the destination, but an integral part of the journey itself – a
modern coming-of-age ceremony where one’s own story of perseverance and discovery is composed.

(A)Celebrate Selfless Spirit
Although May 24 was a working day, thousands of people wearing black went to the Mingyangshan
Funeral Home in Hunan province for a funeral service at 10 am to present bouquets and bunches of rice
plants to honor Yuan Longping, a top rice scientist, known (81) ____________ the “father of hybrid rice”.
(82) ____________ (raise) in an era of war and famine, Yuan witnessed the despair of people who lost
the land they lived on. Tough and exhausting (83) ____________ it would be, Yuan was determined to
study agriculture when he applied for university. He said: “Having enough food was people’s utmost
priority,” noted People’s Daily.
To relieve the global suffering, Yuan began researching hybrid rice in 1964 and succeeded in
cultivating the world’s first high-yielding hybrid rice strain in 1973, after (84) ____________ he
significantly increased the China’s average output to 7.5 tons per hectare, while globally it was 4.61 tons.
More importantly, he was selfless when it came to (85) ____________ (share) his research to benefit
people globally. To date, his hybrid rice strain (86) ____________ (cultivate) in large areas of India,
Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam, the US and Brazil. Hybrid rice seeds are being planted on 4.5 million
hectares of land in Asian rice-producing countries, excluding China.
“Professor Yuan was incredibly humble, focusing only on hard work and results that could help
alleviate poverty and lift people out of hunger (87) ____________ ____________ seeking fame or
adulation,” Kenneth M. Quinn, president emeritus of the World Food Prize Foundation, told China Daily.
Yuan could make such achievements partly (88) ____________ he believed in the power of science as a
harvest multiplier, noted People’s Daily.
Using research and trials at his national center, Yuan continued to produce increasingly
higher-yielding super-hybrid plants, (89) ____________ panicles (稻穗) were so full of grain that they bent,
(90) ____________ ____________ there were a waterfall of rice throughout the field. To observe his plants
closely, Yuan spent more time in a field than in an office, just as farmers did. Quinn said the scientist
maintained a “down-to-earth” attitude.

Economic inequality adds more than 100,000 deaths to the vast toll from heat and cold in Europe each
year, research has found. Cutting levels of inequality to match (91) ________ of Europe’s most equal
region, Slovenia, as measured by the Gini index, would reduce temperature-related mortality（死亡人数）
(92) _________ up to 30%, equating to 109,866 people, the study found.
The findings come after the EU’s Copernicus monitoring project ranked last month as the third-hottest
April on record globally, with some countries such as Spain (3) ________ (report) their hottest April on
9
record. The return of the natural heating phenomenon El Ni o – which may shape up to be unusually strong
– has raised fears of a brutal European summer in 2026.
The researchers found that high death tolls from heat and cold (994) _________ (associate) with
several indicators of hardship, such as poverty and the inability to heat a home.
As well as lowering inequality within regions, cutting severe material and social deprivation across
the continent to the level of central Switzerland, the least (95) _________ (affect) region, would result in
59,000 fewer heat and cold deaths, according to the study.
The research is the first (96) ________ (quantify) the effect of socioeconomic troubles on the lives
lost during Europe’s bone-chillingly cold winters and scorchingly hot summers. The researchers said it
added weight to calls to target short-term relief to vulnerable groups and, in the longer-term, reduce
structural inequality in Europe.
“It’s a two for one,” said Blanca Paniello-Castillo, a biomedical scientist at the Barcelona Institute for
Global Health and lead author of the study. “(97)_________ the equity perspective would be more included
in policies – European, national, local, whatever – we would be hitting two goals at the same time.”
Heat and cold stress the body, leaving it more subject to disease and (98) _________ (able) to fight it
off. Mortality rises sharply when temperatures deviate from (99) _________ is assumed to be a comfortable
range, particularly among people who are old or ill.
The analysis, (100) ________ looked at daily mortality data for 654 regions in Europe between 2000
and 2019, estimated “attributable deaths” by modelling the health burden if all regions had the best and
worst values they found for each economic indicator.
