51. To solve the world’s water shortage, people turn sea water into drinkable fresh water. Desalination, which
removes salt and contaminants from sea water, is one of the methods. The UAE and Saudi Arabia have provided
people with enough water in this way. But this process is both time- and energy-consuming, so people are
combining different methods to solve the problem.

V. Guided Writing
56. Dear Editor,
I am writing to share my reflections on your recent article concerning "classics". As an avid reader of your
magazine, I found the topic intriguing.
From my perspective, what distinguishes a true classic from fleeting entertainment is its ability to
withstand the test of time and resonate with audiences across generations. Moreover, classics frequently
encapsulate universal values and timeless truths about human nature. A compelling case in point is Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry's masterpiece, The Little Prince. Although superficially presented as a children's fairy tale, it
actually offers profound philosophical insights into love, responsibility, and solitude. Whenever I revisit it at
different stages of my life, I invariably uncover new layers of meaning, which exemplifies its enduring charm.
In conclusion, classics are not merely relics of the past, but timeless treasures that continually enrich our
souls. I sincerely hope your magazine will continue to introduce more such remarkable works to us.
Yours sincerely,

I. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically
correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other
blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Think or Swim
When submarine crews in movies hear "Prepare to dive", they jump into action to get the submarine ready to
move underwater. A new study, led by Dr J Chris McKnight of the University of St Andrews, suggests seals use a
similar thought to stimulate the physiological changes 1 (need) to help them stay underwater for so long. The
team studied a group of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) 2 (wear) near-infrared spectroscopy devices (近红外光
谱装置), which track patterns of blood circulation. These PortaSeal wearables 3 (attach) to the animals' heads
and shoulders to monitor changes in their bodies while swimming and diving.
"Discovering that seals can seemingly actively control their circulatory systems 4 (be) really exciting,"
says McKnight. Mammals, including humans, have a range of automatic responses 5 being submerged in
water, including a reduced heart rate. Marine mammals exhibit these responses particularly strongly, but we cannot
see inside their bodies before and during a dive 6 (see) the extent of changes that they undergo. McKnight and
his team wondered 7 near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) might provide the answer.
It involves shining light (of wavelengths between 800 and 2,500 nanometres) into the subject's head and
analysing the spectrum of light (光谱) 8 reflects back. 9 different molecular bonds absorb different
wavelengths of light, the reflected wavelengths provide clues as to the amount of blood passing through vessels (血
管) in the subject's brain and surrounding tissue. The results showed that blood redistribution in seals is under some
cognitive (认知的) control. Seals also increase oxygen in their brain at 10 consistent time in each dive,
despite a lack of air.

Hopes Lift at Ski Resorts
The weather has been so warm, and snow so scarce, that Windham Mountain Resort in the Catskills opened its
chairlifts to mountain bikers last weekend instead of skiers. Ski resorts and their fans in the Northeast are hoping
for a much better January. It has been a(n) 11 season. Judging by listings on Sno-country.com, which
provides 12 on the slopes (山坡), roughly half of the ski areas in the Northeast haven't opened yet for skiers
but aim to do so soon. Snow-making equipment needs temperatures in the high 20s or below.
At Windham, eight trails (滑道) out of 54 had enough snow to open on Friday, but Chip Seamans, general
manager at Windham, predicted many more will be 13 next weekend. "It looks like finally tonight and
tomorrow and into next week we'll get some 14 cold so we're very excited," Mr. Seamans said. Last month
was the warmest December on 15 in Central Park, according to the National Weather Service. Last month the
average daily temperature in New York City 16 50.8 degrees, which is 13.3 degrees warmer than normal. Last
month beat the previous December record of 44.1 degrees, 17 in 2001.
Tyler Fairbank, chief executive of the Fairbank Group, said the ski industry overall typically did 20% to 25%
of its business over the Christmas holidays so the 18 slopes had a terrible impact. It also hurt hotels,
equipment stores and local 19 . Mr. Fairbank said about 25% to 30% of the slopes were open at his group's
mountains and he expected that to rise to 70% in a week. The National Weather Service predicted Friday's late
night lows would range from the mid-20s inland to the lower 30s for New York City. It said a cold front would 20
Sunday evening, with the chilliest air of the season thus far coming on Monday.
II. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in
each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
"Where words fail, music speaks." Though these words, from the pen of Hans Christian Andersen, are
appealing, the idea that there might be something 21 in music which goes beyond cultural boundaries has
generally been met with doubt by scholars working in the field. That doubt may, however, be groundless, for
research published in Current Biology this week by Samuel Mehr and Manvir Singh of Harvard University
provides evidence that music does indeed 22 the communication of simple ideas between people even when
they have no language in common.
To confirm this, the two researchers recruited 750 online volunteers from 60 countries. They played these
volunteers 36 musical pieces, each 14 seconds long, and each drawn at random from one of 118 songs in a
collection of the music of small-scale societies around the world. Given the broad range of cultures and languages
23 in the collection, and the diversity of the volunteers, Dr Mehr and Mr Singh could be reasonably certain
that those listening were both 24 with the music and unable to understand the lyrics (歌词) in question.
After each piece had been played, volunteers were asked what they thought the song's 25 was, and how
sure they were of that on a scale of one to six. The possibilities offered were: "for dancing"; "for comforting a
baby"; "for healing illness"; "for expressing love for another"; "for remembering the dead"; and "for telling a story".
The first four of these were real functions, as 26 by the people from whom the song in question had been
collected. The last two were 27 , and were included as foils (陪衬者). Dr Mehr and Mr Singh found that
volunteers' 28 of a song's function were generally in good agreement with its actual function--with one
exception.
Dance songs were particularly 29 to identify. They rated 2.18 points higher on the certainty scale as
being used "for dancing" than lullabies (摇篮曲) did; 1.38 points higher than love songs; and 1.09 points higher
than healing songs. 30 , lullabies were rated 1.53 points higher than dance songs as being "to comfort a baby",
1.42 points higher than healing songs and 1.19 points higher than love songs. Healing songs proved a bit more 31
. They scored only 0.47 and 0.31 points higher than dance and love songs respectively for "to heal illness", and
were statistically indistinguishable from lullabies.
The 32 , though, was love songs. Listeners could distinguish them from healing songs, but not from
lullabies or dance songs. Why love songs were hard to identify is 33 . Because such songs involve showing off
to the object of one's affections, they may require more creativity, and thus generate more 34 than lullabies or
dance songs. Perhaps the fact that both dancing and cooing (温柔地说话) are involved in romance 35
listeners. Love songs aside, however, Andersen was clearly onto something.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have just read.
（A）
There is a country--I read about it once--where the local custom is that if you go to a house and praise some
small possession, the owners feel obliged to offer it to you as a gift. The only other place I know of with such a
custom is my mother's apartment.
Knowing Mama, I have always been careful with my compliments, but that doesn't stop her. If she catches me
staring at anything small enough to put in a grocery bag, she hands it to me as I leave. It would do no good to
protest. "I was merely staring at that photograph of Mount Hood because I have one exactly like it in my living
room." Mama would only nod and say, "Of course. You were thinking how nice it would be to have a set. If a
mother doesn't understand, who does "
As far as I can remember, Mama was telling people they were in the wrong line of work and suggesting
alternative careers. My turn came when I grew up and became a housewife. "You missed your calling," Mama
sighs, examining the doodles (涂鸦) on my phone book. "You should have been an artist." Later, I tell her how I
returned rancid fish to the supermarket and demanded a refund, and she links this to being a lawyer. I know it's
horsefeathers, but I like it.
I have been worrying for weeks now about what to give my mother for Mother's Day. There is always the
danger that a gift given to Mama will bounce swiftly back to the giver. If I buy her something wearable, she
perceives in an instant that it could be let in here, let out there, and it would fit me perfectly. If I give her a plant,
she cuts off the top for me to take home and root in a glass of water. If I give her something edible, she wants me to
stay for lunch and eat it.
Papa, a sensible man, long ago stopped trying to shop for Mama. Instead, on Mother's Day, her birthday, and
other appropriate occasions, he composes a short poem in which he tells of their life. After nearly 30 years of
poems, Papa sometimes worries that the edge of his inspiration has dulled, but Mama doesn't complain. She comes
into the room while he is struggling over a gift poem and says, "It doesn't have to rhyme (押韵) as long as it's from
the heart."
This year, finally, I think I, too, have found a painless gift for Mama. I am going to give her a magazine article,
in which I wish her "Happy Mother's Day" and tell her there's nothing Papa or I could ever buy, find, or make her
that would be half good enough anyway.
36. What can be learned about "my" mum from Paragraph 2
A. She doesn't like "my" compliments.
B. She doesn't think I am careful enough.
C. She will give "me" whatever she thinks "I" like.

37. By "it's horsefeathers" (paragraph 3), "I" imply that
A. being an artist has always been "my" dream
B. what "my" mother says makes no sense
C. "my" mother knows well about "me"
D. it is no easy job to be a lawyer
38. Why am "I" worried about "my" gift for Mother's Day
A. It may well end up in a dustbin.
B. It will hardly satisfy "my" mother.
C. It may be returned to "me" in some way.
D. It will be given to someone else in the neighbourhood.
39. What can be concluded from the passage
A. "I" love "my" mother very much.

（C）
A new study, which found that eating ultra-processed food (like fish fingers, fizzy drinks and ready meals)
could increase the risk of death, made for alarming headlines. The Sun told us that "just four portions of processed
food a day could kill you", while The Telegraph said that ultra-processed foods "could increase the risk of early
death by 60 per cent". As is often the case, the research is well-designed and alarming. What's more, the news
coverage is not exactly false.
The problem is that the numbers driving the headlines are hard to interpret, and seem more frightening than
they are. Let's unpack what the evidence means in this case. Spanish researchers followed roughly 20,000 students
over 14 years, using questionnaires to estimate how many portions of ultra-processed food they were eating every
day. They found that those who ate the most ultra-processed foods had a 62 per cent increased risk of death from
any cause, compared with those who ate the least.
If we assume the conclusions are accurate, then a 62 per cent increased risk of death sounds pretty shocking.
But what does it mean Let's imagine two friends--Wanda and Winona. They're both around 50, the same weight,
do the same amount of exercise, have the same family histories of disease, but not the same habits or lifestyle.
Wanda is keen on instant noodles, fish fingers and fizzy drinks, while Winona prefers steamed vegetables and
wholemeal bread. Each one faces an annual risk of death, whose technical name is their 'hazard'.
The key statistic reported in the Spanish study was a hazard ratio of 1.62. This means that, for two people like
Wanda and Winona who are similar apart from their different diets, the one with the risk factor--Wanda--has a 62
per cent increased annual risk of death over the follow-up period (around 14 years in the Spanish study). It's
tempting to interpret this as meaning that Wanda's life is going to be 62 per cent shorter than Winona's, but that's
not what's going on.
Crucially, the risk of dying in any one year for the average person is pretty low, so a 62 per cent annual
increase in risk of death may not be as alarming as it sounds. In the UK, for example, the average annual risk of
death for 50-year-old women is around 0.2 per cent, which means you might expect 2 in every 1,000 women like
Winona to die each year. A 62 per cent increase on that number gives around a 0.3 per cent annual risk of death,
which would be 3 in every 1,000 women like Wanda. The difference, 1 in 1,000, sounds a lot less alarming than the
62 per cent which made the headlines.
43. What does the writer imply about the increased risk of death covered in the news
A. It reflects people's ignorance of what makes a healthy diet.
B. The interpretation of it needs to be put into perspective.
C. It is a conclusion drawn from a poorly designed study.
D. The understanding of it varies from country to country.
44. What did the Spanish researchers do in their study
A. They divided the students into two groups.
B. They collected the data by means of interviews.
C. They followed the subjects for more than a decade.
D. They made up two friends named Wanda and Winona.
45. According to the writer, why is it that the 62 per cent annual increase in risk of death may not be that alarming
A. The chance of dying in a year for the average person is relatively minimal.
B. It is based on the data that the Spanish researchers collected 14 years ago.
C. The relevant study has failed to take other factors into consideration.
D. People in the UK are becoming more and more health-conscious.
46. What can be concluded from the passage
A. The news coverage ought to be as objective as possible.
B. There needs to be more evidence for the increase in risk of death.
C. The harm done by ultra-processed food is not as serious as reported.
D. There should be regulations on the production of ultra-processed food.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only
once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Need a digital diet Here's what worked for me
A. Other cards never quite stuck.
B. I've found families are struggling to reset.
C. Together, we spend 20 absorbed minutes sorting them by colour and dividing them into piles, time when
neither of us is distracted by a screen.
D. I was setting out to do one task but being sidetracked into something totally different.
E. But what really matters day to day for you is how you feel that extra hour in your morning is best spent.
F. The goal, says Garner, is not to force yourself to change, but to try to build a new healthy habit, like less
caffeine.
I was having a desirable weekday lie-in when my four-year-old bounded in to inform me it was time to get
dressed. Shocked to find I had wasted nearly two hours scrolling mindlessly through my phone instead of resting, I
got out of bed feeling more mentally exhausted than on mornings when I get up at dawn. Thinking about what sort
of digital diet to put myself on, I came across Mind Over Tech, founded by web developer Jonathan Garner.
About five years ago, Garner noticed that part of his mental disquiet came from having limited control over his
attention when he used his phone. 47 The product that grew out of Garner's wake-up call is a physical deck
(堆) of 50 cards, each bearing bite-sized experiments to help users approach technology more mindfully. Over a
24-hour period I tried a few out, including: "Avoid early morning," which asked me to try to delay the first moment
when I engage with my phone each morning, and "Post-it note on my phone screen," to help me notice when and
why I pick it up. 48 The first two cards--plus "Avoid your inbox until afternoon"--worked well for me.
Over two weeks, I practised them each day and found myself feeling more positive about my relationship with
technology, more able to exercise self-control when it came to my phone and more productive overall. I think these
are habits I will return to regularly. 49 The "Delay the urge to search" card was a spectacular fail, as I spent
most of an entire day searching hotel reviews for an upcoming trip to the US. My favourite part of this experience
has been using pen and paper to plan and take notes. Every time I sit down with the deck and my notebook, my
two-year-old comes over, attracted by the bright colours on the cards. 50 That's the habit I hope to keep.
III. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more
than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
51.
AWorld of Water
Water is essential to life and we depend on it, yet many people take water for granted. As the population of the
world increases, and with it the demand for water, there is growing concern that our water supplies will not prove
adequate. In areas near the coast, an obvious solution to this problem is to find ways of using the abundant supply
of water from the sea. Water covers 70% of the surface of the earth, but 98% of this is undrinkable salt water.
However, for centuries man has experimented with different methods of converting salt water into fresh water in a
process called desalination, whereby salt and contaminants (污染物) are removed from the water.
The challenge, nowadays, is to do this on a much larger scale. One place which has used desalination for many
years is the United Arab Emirates (the UAE). It installed the first desalination plants in 1972, and nowadays most
of the drinking water in the country is supplied by the process. New filtration systems have been developed to
replace the traditional methods, which used a heating process. Another example is Saudi Arabia, whose
desalination plants produce almost 25% of the world's desalinated water.
One of the largest plants in the world has been constructed there, producing 300 billion litres annually.
Unfortunately, desalination is an expensive process using large amounts of energy, but research is currently being
carried out into the development of more efficient technology using a combination of different methods. To supply
water to 25% of the world's population living within 25 kilometres of the sea, more desalination plants are expected
to be built in the future. The hope is that the technology currently being developed will lower the costs and help
solve the problem of water shortages in many parts of the world.
