二、阅读理解
A
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is based on the philosophy that health is achieved through the balance of the body’s energy, known as qì, and the harmony between the human body and the natural world. If you’re new to TCM, here are some popular practices you might want to explore during your stay in China.
Acupuncture
It is one of the most well-known TCM practices. It involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and restore balance. Tiny needles are placed in the body at specific points and you likely won’t feel anything, although it may ache when the correct depth is reached.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha or scraping therapy is a technique that involves gently scraping the skin with a flat, smooth-edged tool to stimulate the flow of blood and lymph, causing slight pains.
Tuina, or Pressure Point Massage
It involves various techniques such as kneading, pressing, and stretching. If you wake up with a stiff neck, tuina would be a good remedy. Tuina is a safe and common type of massage in China, but not consider that it’s a gentle or relaxing massage. You may feel some discomfort during or after a session.
Moxibustion
It involves burning dried mugwort near the skin to warm and stimulate specific points on the body, improving circulation and boosting the immune system. It may be worth a try if you’re exploring complementary and integrative treatments, but remember that it’s better to be done by a skilled practitioner.
21. What is special about Tuina
A．It’s insecure.
B．It’s a mild massage.
C．It causes great pains.
D．It demands a diversity of skills.
22. What do Acupuncture, Gua Sha and Moxibustion have in common
A．Scraping the skin.
B．Relieving muscle tension.
C．Enhancing the circulation of blood.
D．Decreasing the balance of the body.
23. Who are the intended readers of the passage
A．Doctors.
B．Foreigners.
C．Patients.
D．Professionals.
B
Back in 2003, Erica Hernandez was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries.
Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.”
Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won!
As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.”
24. What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station
A．It is climate-damaging.
B．It is ecologically-unfriendly.
C．It provides energy to the locals.
D．It uses seawater-driven generators.
25. Why does the author mention the governor
A．To express Erica’s desperate mood.
B．To show the great barriers Erica faced.
C．To stress the support from the government.
D．To blame the protest on the official’s inaction.
26. Which of the following can best describe Erica
A．Creative and industrious.
B．Pioneering and curious.
C．Determined and responsible.
D．Adventurous and talkative.
27. What message is mainly conveyed through Erica’s story
A．Courage is always rewarded in the end.
B．Success depends on teamwork and cooperation.
C．Young people can bring about change by speaking up.
D．Environmental protection should come before economic development.
C
Cycling is an extremely healthy sport. This low-impact exercise can strengthen your legs, improve your balance, and boost your overall fitness effectively, making it suitable for people of any age.
Beyond physical benefits, cycling is also remarkably good for the brain. As Healthline points out, riding a bike helps reduce feelings of stress and anxiety by promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood lifters. And new research reveals even more significant cognitive (认知) advantages.
A study published in the journal JAMA Network Open tracked 479,723 participants over a 13-year follow-up period. Its key findings linked active travel modes of transportation — especially cycling — to better brain health and a significantly lower risk of dementia (痴呆症).
Participants were asked about their daily travel habits excluding work commutes and divided into four groups: those using passive transport like buses or trains; regular walkers; people who mixed walking with other methods; and those who rode bikes or combined cycling with other forms of travel. The results showed that regular cyclists had a 19 percent lower risk of dementia and a 22 percent lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease compared to other groups. Additionally, brain imaging of the participants confirmed that cyclists had a larger hippocampus — a brain region crucial for memory and learning — which is a clear indication of healthy cognitive function.
Active travel like cycling is accessible to most people, requiring no specialized equipment beyond a bike, and its benefits for older adults are particularly tremendous. Liangkai Chen, PhD, lead author of the study, notes that promoting cycling as daily transport — even mixed with other modes — could be a practical and low-cost strategy to reduce dementia risk and preserve brain structure.
Chen plans to further research how cycling frequency and duration influence brain health, plus the effects of changing active travel behaviour. This is especially important for seniors, as small lifestyle changes yield great brain health benefits. Clifford Segil, an adult neurologist, adds middle-age lifestyle adjustments to prevent dementia are valuable, as proven neuroprotective methods remain rare.
28. What did the study in JAMA Network Open find about regular cyclists
A．They had a higher risk of dementia.
B．They showed better cognitive function.
C．They owned healthier bodies than others.
D．They depended more on passive transport.
29. What is the focus of Paragraph 4
A．Confirmation of the research.
B．Methods of dividing participants.
C．The process and results of the study.
D．Comparisons between different travel groups.
30. What does the underlined word “tremendous” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Slight.
B．Substantial.
C．Uncertain.
D．Temporary.
31. What can we know from Clifford Segil’s words
A．Seniors should avoid changing their daily habits.
B．Neuroprotective methods are now widely available.
C．Middle-age adjustments may help protect brain health.
D．Lifestyle changes are the only way to prevent dementia.
D
Octopuses (章鱼), known for their high intelligence among invertebrates (无脊椎动物), have surprised scientists with their remarkable ability to learn by observing others. A recent study by marine biologists at the University of California focused on the common octopus, a species found in coastal waters around the world, and uncovered new facts about their social learning skills.
Unlike most sea creatures, octopuses show little natural social behavior, leading researchers to believe they relied only on individual trial-and-error to learn new skills. For the study, the team set up two groups: a “demonstrator” group and an “observer” group. The demonstrator octopuses were trained to open a sealed glass jar with a twist to get a shrimp inside — a task that required specific motor skills. The observer octopuses were placed in separate tanks next to the demonstrators, with a clear view of the jar-opening process but no direct access to the training.
Over five short sessions across three days, each observer octopus watched the demonstration at least eight times. A week later, the researchers gave all observer octopuses the same sealed jars. More than 70 percent of them opened the jars successfully on their first try, using the exact twisting method they had watched. In contrast, a control group of octopuses that had no chance to observe the demonstration failed to open the jars within 30 minutes.
Dr. Clara Mendez, the lead researcher, noted that the findings challenge the idea that social learning is limited to social animals like mammals or birds. “Octopuses have a highly developed brain, and this study proves they can store and use information from observation,” she said. However, the team still has questions: it remains unclear whether octopuses can learn complex skills this way, and whether their observational learning ability is present from birth or developed with experience. To explore these unanswered questions, marine biologists are designing further studies that will employ a variety of tasks to push the boundaries of our understanding of octopus intelligence.
32. What did researchers think of octopuses in the past
A．They had strong social behavior.
B．They were the most intelligent invertebrates.
C．They lived in coastal waters around the world.
D．They learned new skills only by trying and failing alone.
33. How was the learning ability of octopuses tested
A．By comparing two groups’ results.
B．By interviewing other researchers.
C．By analyzing the data they collected.
D．By doing a survey among marine biologists.
34. What will the researchers do next
A．Study social skills of mammals.
B．Prove the observation skills of octopus.
C．Observe social learning rules of octopus.
D．Explore the unsolved mysteries of octopus intelligence.
35. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A．Octopuses: The Most Intelligent Sea Creature.
B．Octopuses: A New Study on Their Living Habits
C．Octopuses: Beyond Trial-and-Error Learning.
D．Octopuses: Unexpectedly Social Animals.

67. Relay races (接力赛) were often the most exciting sports, but for Tom, a new member of his school’s relay team, passing the stick was awkward and clumsy. As the third runner, his problem was to catch the stick smoothly from the second runner and pass it to Jake, the final runner. In their first practise, Tom messed up the pass to Jake repeatedly — sometimes too early, making Jake slow down suddenly, sometimes too late, causing Jake to miss the passing zone. These mistakes ruined their teamwork.
After the practise ended, Jake stormed over to Tom. “Your careless and unsteady passes will make us lose the game!” he shouted angrily. Tom hung his head low and felt fully responsible for the messy practise. He even thought about quitting the relay team to focus on running races alone, because the pressure of cooperating with teammates was so uncomfortable compared to the freedom of running alone. Jake turned away in anger without saying another word, barely ignoring the coach who walked over to try to calm both of them.
The next day, the coach gathered the team for stick-passing practise. “I know you’re upset,” he said gently, “but relay races need teamwork and trust — that’s the key to smooth passes.” To make it feel like a real competition, he set up game-like situations with teammates cheering nearby. He taught them to keep a steady speed, make eye contact, adjust their pace to match each other, and use simple hand signals. The repeated practise helped improve their performance. Tom grew confident and Jake gave him encouraging nods.
A week of intense training passed, and the relay competition arrived. Tom felt a little nervous. Before the race, the team gathered, and the coach told them to believe in each other and stay calm. Jake patted Tom on the shoulder firmly, “I trust you. We’ve practised enough.” Tom nodded, turning nervousness into motivation.
At the sound of the starting gun, all runners shot out.
Soon, the stick was coming to Tom.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the narrow win, the coach came over to Tom.

Soon, the stick was coming to Tom. He kept calm, locked eyes with the previous runner and caught the stick perfectly without any mistake. He raced at a steady speed and smoothly passed the stick to Jake. Jake rushed forward at full speed and overtook the competitors at the last moment. Their team won by a narrow gap.
After the narrow win, the coach came over to Tom. He praised Tom’s great progress and good teamwork. Jake apologized to Tom for his rude words before. Tom realized that teamwork and trust beat individual glory, and he was glad he didn’t give up the relay team.
