As the temperature drops, it’s not just about warm sweaters and hot chocolate. Cold weather can actually have
a big impact on your health. Let’s learn something so as to stay safe and healthy this season!
Why Is Cold Winter A Challenge?
Winter brings more than just colds. Icy sidewalks can lead to slips and falls. Cold air may also harm your
lungs and heart, raising the risk of chest infections especially for the elders.
Fighting Off Winter Illnesses
Most common winter illnesses can be handled at home. However, flu can be more serious than you think. A flu
vaccine is a simple way to protect you. And don’t forget the power of hand washing! Cleaning up with water,
adding soap if possible, on a regular basis is one of the most convenient ways to stop virus like the flu from
spreading. Keep your house warm and your bedroom window closed especially on cold winter nights as breathing
cold air can be bad for your health.
Layer Up: A Good Way To Keep Warm
Staying warm is your secret weapon this season! When heading outside, wear several light layers instead ofone heavy jacket. The trapped air between layers keeps you much warmer. You can try the 3-Layer Rule:
Note: Don’t forget the
hat, scarf and gloves—
40 % of body heat
escapes from your head
and neck.
Stay Active: Don’t Let The Cold Make You A Couch Potato!
Staying active is crucial for both physical and mental health. If you’re stuck indoors, get up and stretch your
body at least once in an hour. Break up your time spent being inactive by walking around your home or standing up
from your chair when you are on phone. Any movement helps boost your mood and keep your body strong.
With these easy tips, you can enjoy the winter while staying happy and healthy. Check out further advice on
how to stay well this winter on our websites. Stay warm, stay active, and take care!
21. What is the easiest way to fight against winter illnesses?
A. Closing the house’s windows. B. Staying away from flu.
C. Having a special vaccine. D. Washing hands regularly.
22. How does the outer layer help stay warm?
A. It keeps cold wind and rain out. B. It traps air to provide warmth.
C. It absorbs sweat from the skin. D. It prevents heat loss from the neck

One day, Amanda was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer of an early stage. During this time, she was admitted to a
college. She planned to save money to meet the college expense and then seek medical treatment for the cancer.
Her father, Clint and her friends didn’t want her to put off her treatment due to the expense. They took matters
into their own hands and started a GoFundMe campaign. A longtime friend of the family was cofounder of a group
named Praynksters, known for random acts of kindness. The friend decided to use their own group to help the family.
The group came up with the creative idea to spread the word and invite families, friends, and strangers who wanted
to help to take part in a donation activity. The event brought about the enormous assistance from the local
community.
Clint and Amanda were moved as the crowd passed by and the donations poured in. The event brought the family
over $13, 000 in donations to go towards her medical treatments. The generous act of kindness gave the family a
comforting, and optimistic feeling during a time when all hope seemed lost. Clint said that Amanda struggled withthe idea of asking for help. She felt guilty and undesirable compared to others who are also struggling. She is still
humbled by it all.
After several months of treatment, life for the family has started getting back to their normal routine. Once
Amanda got her strength back, she returned to school and completed her bachelor’s degree. The family is now inspired
to volunteer in their local neighborhood and contribute to crowdfunding (众筹) efforts. They are grateful for the
opportunity to give back and help others as many have helped them.
24. Why did Amanda postpone her treatment of cancer?
A. She was in a bad economic situation. B. She didn’t care about her disease.
C. She had to take care of her family. D. She couldn’t find an effective treatment.
25. What did the Praynksters group do to help Amanda’s family?
A. They paid all her medical bills in advance.
B. They organized a donation activity and called for help.
C. They set up the GoFundMe campaign on their own.
D. They found a better hospital for Amanda’s treatment.
26. Which of the following best describes Amanda?
A. Shameful but caring. B. Kind-hearted and grateful.
C. Curious and warm-hearted. D. Hard-working and humorous.
27. What can we infer from the text?
A. It’s quite easy to cure Amanda’s cancer.
B. Praynksters is a nonprofit organization funded by Clint.
C. Volunteering is very popular in Amanda’s community.
D. A GoFundMe campaign is actually a crowdfunding activity.
C
A recent survey found children would rather be online influencers (网红) than astronauts. It made headlines
and led to plenty of complaints about “kids these days”. Is influencing a promising career path? The lifestyles we
see advertised on social media are enticing, but under the shining appearance lie uncertain income, pay inequality,
disability and mental health issues.
Successful influencers will be the first to claim that anyone can make it in the industry. However, social media
economy experts uncovered a huge income gap between successful influencers and everyone else. For most people
trying to become an influencer, their passion projects of content creation often become free work for brands.
Most influencers are self-employed, often experiencing inconsistent income and a lack of protection that
comes with long-term employment. The risks of self-employment are increased in the influencer industry by anabsence of industry standards and little pay transparency. Influencers are often forced to assess their own value and
determine fees for their work. As a result, content creators often undervalue their own creative labour, and many
end up working for free.
Influencers are also often at the mercy of algorithms — the behind-the-scenes computer programs that
determine which posts are shown, in which order, to users. Platforms share little detail about their algorithms, yet
they finally determine who and what gains visibility and influence on social media. The threat of invisibility is a
constant source of insecurity for influencers, who are under constant pressure to feed platforms with content. If they
don’t, they may be “punished” by the algorithm — having posts hidden or displayed lower down on search results.
Constant online presence leads to one of the most common issues in the influencer industry: mental health
concerns. Influencers can connect to their platform workspaces and audience at any time of day or night, which can
lead to them overworking. Coupled with the fear of online criticism, it contributes to mental and physical health
issues.
Although becoming an influencer may look appealing to more and more people, the industry’s dark underside
needs to be made visible and improved through enhanced employment regulation and industry-led cultural change.
28. Which of the following words cans replace “enticing” in Paragraph 1?
A. Imaginative. B. Similar. C. Attractive. D. Traditional.
29. What’s one of the reasons for influencers’ undervaluing their creative work?
A. Standardized protection. B. Invisibility of payment.
C. Assessment of own work. D. Passion for content creation.
30. What may cause the influencers’ stress according to Paragraph 4?
A. Having to work out the order of posts to be displayed.
B. Finding it difficult to create new content constantly.
C. Having little knowledge of platform algorithms.
D. Being unequally punished by platforms.
31. Why does the author write this text?
A. To show the dark side of working as an online content creator.
B. To reveal relationships between platforms and influencers.
C. To stress the importance of visibility in the online world.
D. To describe the life of self-employed content creators.
D
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a crucial tool in ecological research over recent years. By analyzing
water, soil, or other environmental materials for DNA pieces, researchers can tell that thousands of different specieshave been in an area without having to observe the actual species passing through.
To date, this eDNA process has mostly been employed to detect marine (海洋的) creatures, insects, and other
wildlife. However, according to a paper published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, this technique could just as easily
be applied to spot humans.
An international team of researchers based at the University of Florida, USA, demonstrated that human
genomic (基因组的) information can be easily detected in eDNA samples collected from water, sand, and even the
air. While this capability could have practical applications, such as aiding in the search for missing persons or
monitoring public health, the researchers highlight significant moral concerns. These concerns include the lack of
agreement from individuals for their DNA to be collected, potential breaches (侵犯) of privacy, and the risk of genetic
information being used for commercial purposes.
This issue is particularly challenging for the field of eDNA, which relies on open and easily accessible data. “It
is standard practice in science to make these data publicly available. However, this also means that if human
information is not screened out, anyone could access this information,” says senior author Professor David Duffy, a
wildlife disease genomics researcher at the University of Florida. “This raises issues around permission. Do we need
to ask permission to collect these samples? Should we bring in some controls to remove human genetic data?”
“Whenever we make a technological advancement, there are both beneficial and concerning potential uses. This
situation is no different,” Duffy explains. “We are raising these issues early so that policymakers and society have
adequate time to develop suitable guidelines.”
32. What is the primary use of eDNA in ecological research?
A. Identifying species present in an area. B. Monitoring species evolution processes.
C. Improving living conditions for wildlife. D. Sampling insects directly in their habitats.
33. Why is the accessibility of eDNA data a potential problem?
A. It ignores practical applications of eDNA data.
B. It may lead to unchecked genetic engineering.
C. It could result in misuse of human genetic data.
D. It raises concerns about wildlife disease research.
34. What does Duffy suggest people concerned do?
A. To develop potential applications. B. To sample genetic information.
C. To highlight advanced technology. D. To establish appropriate regulations.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. eDNA: A New Frontier in Ecological Monitoring
B. eDNA: Human Detection Meets Privacy ChallengesC. eDNA: A Breakthrough in Marine Research Techniques
D. eDNA: Transforming Our Comprehension of Biodiversity

When I landed in a small town in New Zealand as an exchange student, I thought I was ready for everything
— new faces, language barriers, strange social patterns and even homesickness. Still, the smallest things made me
feel out of place.
Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around,
sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I. missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support,
everything seemed to fall into place.
But at school, small moments felt bigger than I’d imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a
Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me,
“Next time, just speak up.” I nodded, forcing a bitter smile.
And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson’s birthday dinner. At the table, I
answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, “You alright, sweet
girl? You’ re so quiet tonight.” My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite?
That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of
myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers.
A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. “You’ ll prepare a stand
to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs ... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture
but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural
symbols,” she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in
English? The thought made my stomach twisted (扭曲). Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up.
After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready.
