If you have traveled across time zones, you may have felt jet lag. Jet lag occurs because our circadian rhythm — our body’s internal clock that tells us when to wake up and sleep, gets disrupted. This clock is used to the routine of our home time zone. When we fly to a new time zone, our body struggles to adjust, leading to jet lag, which brings tiredness, grogginess (昏沉感) and a sense of being out of disconnection. Luckily, the good news is that jet lag is temporary, and with proper methods, you can help your body adapt faster.
● Before your trip
Start to shift your schedule before you jet off. For several days before you leave, move mealtimes and bedtime gradually closer to the schedule of your destination. Even a partial switch may help.
● During your flight
Stay hydrated during your flight by drinking plenty of fluids. Avoid caffeine or alcohol, as they promote dehydration (脱水), which worsens the physical symptoms of jet lag and can disturb sleep.
● After you arrive
Switch your bedtime as rapidly as possible upon arrival. Don’t turn in until it’s bedtime in the new time zone. Use sunlight strategically to help your body adjust. After eastward travel, morning sunlight within hours of waking resets your circadian rhythm, helping you wake earlier and be aligned smoothly with the new time zone. For westward trips, late-afternoon sunlight delays sleep signals, letting your body stay awake longer.
With these simple strategies, you can recover from jet lag more efficiently. Remember: Patience and consistency are the keys to beating it.
21. Why does jet lag happen to travelers crossing time zones
A．They are not used to the climate of the destination.
B．Long flights make them physically tired and sleepy.
C．Their daily activities like eating are disturbed during flights.
D．Their circadian rhythm can’t adapt to the new time zone quickly.
22. What should a traveler do to deal with jet lag according to the passage
A．Sleep when you arrive and feel tired.
B．Adjust mealtimes step by step before the trip.
C．Drink more coffee during the flight to stay awake.
D．Strictly follow the destination’s schedule before the trip.
23. How can sunlight help with jet lag after arrival
A．Morning sunlight aids eastward travelers’ early wake-up.
B．Morning sunlight delays westward travelers’ sleep signals.
C．Late- afternoon sunlight aids eastward travelers’ wakefulness.
D．Late- afternoon sunlight lets westward travelers wake earlier.

Dr. Ma is currently a postdoctoral researcher who has studied around the world, but found his position in the assistant professor Owen Fenton’s lab in the U.S.
Ma has studied biomedical engineering in China, Australia, England and Singapore. Through collaborating with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, he came to recognize science as a unifying language — one that also broadened his perspective with fresh insights and ideas.
Fenton and Ma first worked together at the National University of Singapore in 2021. “Dr. Ma is a talented experimentalist and can generate powerful sets of data. Also, his ability to sit down, think critically, and chat about science in an informal capacity brings out his creativity,” said Fenton, Ph.D.
Luckily for Fenton, the feeling was mutual and the two have now worked together for three years. When Fenton started his lab, building an effective team was his top priority. He believes that identifying the right individuals enables the solution to complex, significant problems — adding that the most interesting questions are inherently interdisciplinary, which is why he values a team of exceptional people with diverse research backgrounds, like Dr. Ma.
“Creative” is also a word Fenton uses to describe the environment of his lab and it’s reflected in the way he mentors his students — by advocating for brainstorming sessions and group recharging.
“Dr. Fenton provides a space where you’re allowed to express your own ideas and have him support you through the research process. His mentorship has helped me grow, and, because of his influence, I want to incorporate the same mentoring style in the future,” said Ma.
Bringing each of their strengths and backgrounds, Ma in engineering and Fenton in drug delivery and synthetic chemistry, the partners have achieved their success.
24. What do we know about Dr. Ma in the passage
A．He likes unifying a science language.
B．He has worked in Owen Fenton’s lab.
C．He first cooperated with Fenton in the U.S.
D．He once studied biomedical engineering in the U.S.
25. Which of the following words can best describe Dr. Ma
A．Talented and creative.
B．Diligent and ambitious.
C．Intelligent and modest.
D．Determined and devoted.
26. Why does Owen Fenton choose to cooperate with Dr. Ma
A．He is eager to start his own lab in the research.
B．He values brainstorming in research work.
C．He would like to support Dr. Ma’s growth.
D．He needs team members with diverse backgrounds.
27. What can we learn from Dr. Ma’s story
A．No pains, no gains.
B．Knowledge is power.
C．Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
D．Teamwork is the secret to success.

China will continue expanding its long-term care insurance program nationwide and roll out supporting policies in the coming years to meet rising demand for elder and disability care in its rapidly aging society, the National Healthcare Security Administration said. Since 2016, the country has piloted the long-term care insurance program across 49 cities. The program covers part of the cost of daily living assistance for elderly people, such as help with tasks like eating and bathing, and basic medical services as well as routine wound care for people with disabilities.
At a recent conference held in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, the administration said the program now covers nearly 300 million people and has benefited more than 3.3 million individuals living with disabilities. Cumulative spending from the fund has exceeded 100 billion yuan ($14.3 billion). During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), the program reduced nursing care expenses by more than 60 billion yuan. The initiative has also supported growth in the elderly care service sector and the broader health industry. Since 2021, more than 50 billion yuan in social capital investment has flowed into related fields across the 49 pilot cities. The number of designated long-term care service institutions has surpassed 8,800, while the workforce of nursing professionals has expanded to about 300,000.
Both figures represent increases of more than 50 percent since early 2021. China’s population is aging rapidly. The number of citizens aged 60 and above reached 310 million by the end of 2024, accounting for about 22 percent of the total population. That figure is projected to reach 400 million by 2035. China has about 35 million seniors living with disabilities, accounting for 11.6 percent of the total elderly population. This figure is projected to reach 46 million by 2035.
In response to the growing elderly population, the annual Central Economic Work Conference held in December emphasized the need to expand and improve rehabilitation and care services, promote the long-term care insurance system, and strengthen support for disadvantaged groups. The administration said it will accelerate the establishment of a long-term care insurance system with Chinese characteristics over the next five years. The initial focus will be on people with severe disabilities, with the aim of gradually achieving nationwide coverage for the entire population.
Authorities will also work to standardize regulations on financing, benefits and payments to lay a solid foundation for the system’s high-quality and sustainable development.
28. What does the long-term care insurance program cover according to the first paragraph
A．Full medical costs for all elderly citizens.
B．Partial daily living aid and basic health care.
C．Only wound care for disabled persons.
D．Free recovery services for every citizen.
29. Which of the following is true about the pilot program
A．It reduced nursing expenses over 60 billion yuan.
B．It covers only 10 million people so far.
C．It has not attracted any social capital investment.
D．The nursing workforce has declined sharply.
30. What can be inferred from the passage about China’s aging population
A．The aging trend will slow down soon.
B．Most elderly people are now disabled.
C．Demand for care services will likely rise.
D．Government support will be reduced later.
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A．The challenges from an aging society.
B．Social capital’s role in elderly care.
C．The history of long-term care insurance.
D．The development of care insurance system.
D
SHANGHAI, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) — A team of Chinese and international scientists has uncovered the precise mechanism behind one of nature’s most vital alliances: the partnership between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This finding has the potential to transform future agricultural practices.
The discovery, published in the latest issue of Science, explains how plants and bacteria identify the perfect partner, paving the way for engineered crops that may one day need far less chemical fertilizer. The study explains how legumes such as soybeans and peas identify and form partnerships with specific nitrogen-fixing bacteria — bacteria that help convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for the plant. These interactions result in the formation of root nodules (根瘤), which act as natural fertilizer factories. Within these nodules, the plants provide sugars to the bacteria, while the bacteria, in turn, supply the plants with fixed nitrogen.
A long-standing mystery has been how plant roots, surrounded by countless microorganisms, selectively allow only compatible nitrogen-fixing bacteria to enter. This process begins with plant-secreted chemicals called flavonoids, but the exact mechanism of recognition has remained unclear. However, a collaborative team led by researchers from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences (CEMPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has solved this puzzle. By determining the detailed 3D structure of a key bacterial protein called NodD bound to a flavonoid signal, they unveiled the exact “lock-and-key” fit that enables specific partner selection. The team identified unique regions in NodD that act as a selective filter, ensuring each bacterial strain responds only to the flavonoid signal produced by its specific host plant.
According to the study, the findings open new pathways for designing more efficient symbiotic systems. In the future, scientists may engineer nitrogen-fixing bacteria to partner with a broader range of crops — including cereals like rice and wheat, which do not naturally form such relationships.
“This brings us closer to reducing agriculture’s reliance on man-made nitrogen fertilizers,” said Zhang Yu, a researcher at CEMPS. “By understanding this recognition process, we can explore creating new beneficial partnerships between plants and microorganisms.” The research not only decodes a fundamental dialogue in nature but also lays a scientific foundation for designing greener, more sustainable farming systems worldwide, Zhang added.
32. What is the main potential impact of the new discovery on agriculture
A．It will completely replace chemical fertilizers in farming.
B．It may lead to crops needing much less chemical fertilizer.
C．It allows all plants to form partnerships with bacteria naturally.
D．It explains why only legumes can use atmospheric nitrogen.
33. What is the function of root nodules in legumes
A．They produce sugars for the plant.
B．They act as natural fertilizer factories.
C．They protect plants from harmful bacteria.
D．They help plants absorb water from the soil.
34. What can be inferred about the “lock-and-key” fit mentioned in the study
A．It allows any bacteria to enter plant roots.
B．It ensures only specific bacteria respond to their host plant’s signal.
C．It is a physical structure found on the surface of roots.
D．It prevents all microorganisms from interacting with plants.
35. What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To introduce a new type of chemical fertilizer.
B．To explain how plants produce flavonoids.
C．To report a scientific breakthrough in plant-bacteria partnership.
D．To compare different types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

67. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
My mother was a supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking she has never spanked (打屁股) my brothers and sisters, and me only once. Instead, she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable occasions occurred when I was four.
In the early 1970’s my mother attended college during the day and I was in kindergarten. One day at kindergarten I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked, “Momma, are we going to McDonald’s for dinner ” The mother replied, “Honey, not tonight. Momma has some business to do and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy.” “But I wanna go.” “Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow.” Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming, “I want to go to McDonald’s.”
No matter what her mother said, Susie continued to throw a tantrum (发脾气). Finally her mother gave in, “Okay, Susie, let’s go to McDonald’s.” Susie stopped yelling and smiled. She grabbed her mother’s hand and they left. I was pleased to find that anything I wanted could be got by throwing a tantrum.
That day my mother picked me up early from kindergarten because we were going to a store to buy some Christmas items. I was excited by the lights and decorations inside. As we walked through the toy area on the way to the counter (柜台), I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone, whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, “Mama, can I have that telephone ”
She replied, “Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe Santa will bring it to you.” “But Mama, I want that telephone right now.” Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. “Becky, you can’t have that telephone today. If you don’t listen, you can have a spanking.”
But now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Mama, stop. Mama, get up,” I tearfully pleaded.

But now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance. I suddenly lay down on the floor, kicking my legs and crying loudly to get the toy telephone. People in the queue stared at me curiously. My mother felt extremely embarrassed. She warned me firmly again, but I refused to give in and kept throwing my tantrum. Without hesitation, my mother knelt down, grabbed my arms and pulled me out of the store despite my struggle.
“Mama, stop. Mama, get up,” I tearfully pleaded. But my mother held my hands tightly and knelt on the cold ground without moving. She told me patiently that tantrums would never get what I wanted and I must learn to respect others and control my temper. Witnessing her persistence and sadness, I gradually calmed down and realized my mistake. This special punishment left a deep and lasting lesson in my mind, teaching me to be a sensible and polite child ever since.
