I recently turned seventy. Seventy is a nice number for a chapter in a book, a score in a game, or a temperature in the summer, but it wasn’t a number I was ready to face in my life. I was stuck with this number and everything it means.
A few days after my birthday, a close friend remarked, “Seventy is the new sixty. ” This statement was meant to be encouraging, but it left me considering the changing meanings of age. Am I truly over the hill, or has society simply shifted the standard for aging The physical challenges are undeniable. I can no longer run the marathons I once did, and my daily walks are now interrupted by pauses and rest.
Dr. Smith, a renowned gerontologist (老年病学家), often says, “You are not getting older, you are getting more mature.” While this may be true, it doesn’t change the fact that my body is aging, and the aches and pains are more frequent. I appreciate his viewpoint, but I know it’s time to face the realities of aging head-on.
As I step into my seventh decade, I tend to reflect on what it means to age. I see aging as a mixture of resilience and acceptance, a process that requires both fighting against the inevitable and embracing the changes that come. Aging is a natural part of life, and while I may no longer be the athlete I once was, I find new ways to stay active and engaged.
Seventy is a number that once seemed distant, but now it is my present reality. I am reminded of the words of the philosopher: “Old is always fifteen years from now.” This perspective helps me to stay positive, even as I acknowledge the physical limitations that come with age. The best may indeed be yet to come and I am determined to find the beauty in every new chapter.

The Three Gorges Dam, located on the Yangtze River in China, is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. It is an impressive hydropower project, with over 20 times the energy-generating capacity of the Hoover Dam. Now, China wants to build another revolutionary energy source: a solar array (阵列) in space.
“It is as significant as moving the Three Gorges Dam to a geostationary orbit (地球静止轨道) 36,000km above the Earth,” Long Lehao, a rocket scientist and member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), said in a lecture reported by the South China Morning Post. “This is an incredible project to look forward to.” The space-based solar power (SBSP) stations work by using a system of mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto panels, which then generate electricity. The electricity is then transformed to microwave radiation and beamed to a fixed antenna (天线) on Earth.
SBSP panels are more reliable than the solar panels on your roof because they aren’t affected by seasonal weather or nights. They can generate much more electricity than ground panels, as sunlight is much more intense in space than on Earth’s surface. A recent NASA study even predicted that one model of space-based solar power could generate power for 99% of the year. As Long said in his lecture: “The energy collected in one year will be equal to the total amount of oil that can be extracted from the Earth.”
However, there are a few drawbacks holding space companies back — namely, the sheer size of the project. The solar array is predicted to be a kilometer wide once fully established. To get their array into space, Long and his team are working on developing the Long March-9 (or CZ9) — a reusable heavy-lift rocket with a lifting capacity of at least 150 tons. That’s like lifting a full-grown blue whale into space.
8. How do the SBSP stations send electricity to Earth
A．By sending microwaves to a ground receiver.
B．By storing it in batteries and sending them back.
C．By transporting solar panels back to Earth.
D．By sending sound waves through the air.
9. What are the advantages of SBSP over ground-based solar energy
A．Lower cost and easier maintenance.
B．Higher reliability and productivity.
C．Better stability and greener energy.
D．Greater efficiency and accuracy.
10. How does the author develop the fourth paragraph
A．By making comparisons.
B．By analyzing cause and effect.
C．By listing some examples.
D．By explaining problem and solution.
11. What’s the main idea of the text
A．The advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
B．China’s plan to build a solar power station in space.
C．The Three Gorges Dam as a model for space projects.
D．The potential of SBSP stations to replace earth-based plants.
D
Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious A new study by UNSW Sydney’s Dr Bressel found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle (微妙的) but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences.
The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment. Researchers observed three behavioural types: Sensitives (avoid bad choices), Unawares (adjust strategies after being told their errors) and Compulsives (still make wrong choices even after learning their mistakes). “Some people don’t learn from experience. Even when motivated to avoid harm, they fail to see their behaviour causes problems,” said Dr Bressel.
This study followed past research, which only focused on Australian psychology students, but had key differences: 267 participants from 24 countries (including over 50-year-olds), six-month follow-ups, and post-game surveys on their choices. The same behavioural profiles emerged across cultures and ages. In Australian studies, 35% were Sensitives, 41% Unawares, 23% Compulsives; in the new study, 26% Sensitives, 47% Unawares, 27% Compulsives. Dr Bressel linked more Compulsives to older participants, as cognitive (认知的) flexibility declines with age. Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioural profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel. “These aren’t just random mistakes. They’re almost like personality types. This is not to say they’re fixed, just that they may require intervention to break.” Researchers confirmed Compulsives’ choices weren’t habits: participants could explain their wrong choices. This points to a deeper issue — a failure to integrate new knowledge to minimise bad outcomes.
Dr Bressel noted real life is more complex than the game, but the pattern of ignoring experience and information matches compulsory behaviours. The research has important implications for public health messaging. Many campaigns rely on providing information — about smoking, drinking or financial risks — with the assumption that people will act on it. But this study suggests that for some, information alone isn’t enough. “Standard information campaigns work for most — but not for everyone,” Dr Bressel said. “For compulsive individuals, we may need different intervention.”
12. What were participants expected to do in the online learning game
A．Make choices.
B．Win awards.
C．Observe behaviour.
D．Identify errors.
13. What is a striking finding of the new study
A．Cognition declines with age.
B．Unawares account for the largest.
C．Behavioural patterns are consistent.
D．Mistakes influence personality types.
14. What does the author suggest for public health campaigns
A．Increasing lecture frequency.
B．Reviewing behavioural errors.
C．Developing tailored strategies.
D．Enhancing information accuracy.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A．Learning Risks, Behaving Safer.
B．Knowing Better, Doing Worse.
C．Recognizing Habits, Acting Well.
D．Understanding Rules, Breaking All.
七选五
Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. ____16____
On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. ____17____ According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences.
____18____ First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments.
What does nostalgia do to our brains Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. ____19____ This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress.
But can too much nostalgia be harmful In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. ____20____ It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are.
In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope.
A．But why do we love nostalgia so much
B．This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us.
C．Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs.
D．However, psychology experts say there’s more to it.
E．It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic.
F．Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy.
G．Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life.

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。
Brave Dog wasn’t always his name. In the beginning, he was just Stray Dog（流浪狗）.
I saw him for the first time one evening when Mattie and I went to milk the cows. He was all dusty coat and skinny-ribbed（皮包骨头的）, hardly worth a second glance. But Mattie made a beeline for him, reaching out to pet him, “What a pretty dog!” The dog looked unsure, as if he weren’t used to being spoken to kindly. I grabbed Mattie’s arm. “Keep away from that stray dog,” I told her, “You know how Dad feels about stray dogs.” “Don’t call him Stray Dog,” said Mattie. “He’s a pretty dog.” The dog licked her face and put a paw on her shoulder. Mattie threw her arms around his neck. “I’m keeping him.” She declared, “I’m calling him Pretty Dog.”
To Mattie, he was Pretty Dog. She talked to him, played with him and fed him secretly. He responded by following her like a shadow when no one else was around. To the rest of us, he was Stray dog. We did everything we could to chase him away, but he kept coming back. One day, Dad accidentally caught Mattie sneaking Stray Dog a piece of leftover roast meat. “Mattie! Get away from That Dog!” Dad shouted, “Where’s your common sense, girl We don’t waste good food on stray animals. You see That Dog again, you send him away!” So, Stray Dog became That Dog. One cold winter day, Dad set off to go ice fishing. Mattie had begged to go, but Dad said no. “You’ll only fuss（对…大惊小怪 ）about cold,” he said, tweaking（捏, 扯）her pigtail（辫子）. “I want to do some serious fishing.”
Dad came home a few hours later. “Got some fine ones,” he shouted from the porch. “Come see!” Mom and I came out. “Where’s Mattie ” Dad asked. Mom and I looked at each other in confusion, both thinking Mattie was with the other. Then, Ma strode to the closet. “Her coat and boots are gone.” Mom turned to Dad with troubled eyes, “Maybe she went after you.” Worry lines creased（弄皱）Dad’s face. “She never came to the e on, we need to find her.”

Dear fellow students,
A survey about our weekly exercise time has been carried out among us. Most students spend less than two hours on sports each week, while only a small number work out over five hours. Few students exercise for 4 to 5 hours.
Lack of exercise harms our health and study efficiency. I suggest we take at least one hour’s exercise daily. We can play ball games or run after class to build up our bodies.
五、读后续写范文
In the lane, we found Mattie’s boot prints following Dad’s big ones. We hurried along the trail with hearts full of fear. The wind blew sharply and snow began to fall lightly. We called Mattie’s name loudly, yet no reply came. As we walked deeper into the wild lane, darkness wrapped around us, making the search harder. Dad kept calling anxiously, regretting not taking Mattie ice fishing with him.
Suddenly, some dog barks came from the distance. We ran toward the sound without hesitation. There stood Mattie, sitting beside the stray dog, who wrapped his body around her to block the cold wind. The dog barked nonstop to draw our attention. Mattie was shivering but safe. Dad knelt down, patted the dog gently and changed his mind. We took them both home, and from then on, we named him Brave Dog.
