Isabella Osbourne’s weight loss journey is an inspiring story. For years, she’d struggled with her weight, which often left her feeling limited in her ability to fully enjoy life. She’d openly shared that her weight often left her feeling tired and sleepy, which affected her energy levels and overall mood. This, together with seeing her parents and her son Wolf live healthy lives, inspired her to lose weight. As a mother, she wanted to show Wolf the importance of self-love and taking care of one’s body.
Isabella’s remarkable weight loss in 2025 was driven by her commitment to making sustainable and mindful dietary changes. She included whole foods into her meals, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, and focused on meals rich in fiber and protein, which helped limit her appetite and prevent overeating. She reduced her consumption of processed foods and sugary drinks, opting instead for whole, nutrient-dense options. She also started using smaller plates and bowls to help avoid overeating. Additionally, drinking plenty of water throughout the day and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule supported her overall health.
Meanwhile, Isabella kept working out regularly. Aside from jogging, running and swimming, Isabella also included strength training into her fitness routine to build lean muscle mass. She focused on exercises like squats, deadlifts, and resistance band workouts to target different muscle groups. Strength training has been shown to increase resting metabolic (代谢的) rate, meaning that even at rest, the body burns more calories.
Additionally, Isabella incorporated stress management techniques into her daily routine. She practiced mindfulness meditation (冥想) and deep-breathing exercises to stay calm and focused. These practices not only helped her manage stress but also improved her mental clarity and emotional resilience (适应性).
Isabella’s journey taught her the value of balance and consistency. She learned sustainable weight loss isn’t about perfection but about making small, meaningful changes over time. By focusing on both her physical and mental well-being, Isabella was able to create a lifestyle that supported her goals and brought her joy.
4. What is a reason for driving Isabella to lose weight
A. Her parents’ advice. B. Her family’s healthy lives.
C. Her son’s love. D. Her medical report.
5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. A well-structured fitness routine. B. A strong support group.
C. Isabella’s lifestyle adjustments. D. The impact of mental health.
6. What can we infer about Isabella’s exercise routine
A. It involved varied training. B. It was impossible to follow.
C. It ignored strength workouts. D. It was about quick fixes.
7. What key lesson did Isabella learn from her weight loss experience
A. The necessity of extreme diets. B. The meaning of training tools.
C. The role of professional training. D. The value of gradual changes.

To know body language better, Christina Stach, a 25-year-old healthcare provider, read What Everybody Is Saying by Joe Navarro. “It changed how I communicated with everyone,” she says. While approximately 80% of our interactions with each other are nonverbal — from birth, our body language sends out clues to what we’re thinking, and Stach says, “We can learn to exercise control over it.”
Becoming aware of her own body language, the physician recognized her preferred way of sitting with her arms and legs crossed. While it was comfortable for her, patients considered it discomfort with them. She found the same to be true with eye contact. “I don’t make much eye contact with people because it makes me uncomfortable,” Stach says, “but it makes others think I’m inattentive.”
Armed with the knowledge, she began uncrossing her arms and legs and making more eye contact when in conversation, “Using positive body language helps strengthen patient interactions, and once these habits become natural, you may notice your patients are more receptive to your advice,” she says.
“Talking with patients at eye level is important,” Stach says. “It shows them that I’m here to listen to what they have to say and to make joint decisions about their healthcare.” She recommends that physicians lower their eye level as much as possible by sitting on a low chair facing their patient while the patient remains seated on the exam table.
Eye contact is another important element. “If you’re typing notes into your computer without looking at your patients — even if you are listening and can say everything they said, your body says you aren’t listening,” Stach says. “And you no longer have a closed space of attention with each other.”
Anyway, body language can send a message of care and trust, “In medicine, we’re often in our patient’s face during a medical exam, but when talking with them, being too close may be intrusive, especially in Western cultures where we have broader personal body comfortable distance,” Stach notes. “But in Eastern cultures that distance is much narrower. So, when interacting with people from these cultures, stepping back is seen as offensive(冒犯的) — that’s something to keep in mind.”
8. How did Christina Stach get better at using body language
A. By keeping practicing it in her family. B. By reading a related book.
C. By learning a lot from professionals. D. By communicating with patients.
9. Why did Christina Stach change her sitting posture and eye contact
A. To achieve better care results. B. To feel more personally comfortable.
C. To show her professional skills. D. To enhance her specialized knowledge.
10. What is Christina Stach’s suggestion for physicians talking with patients
A. Avoiding frequent eye contact. B. Making decisions for the patients.
C. Repeating everything the patients said. D. Positioning themselves on lowered seats.
11. What does the underlined word “intrusive” in the last paragraph mean
A. Relaxing. B. Comfortable. C. Disturbing. D. Formal.
D
Faced with biodiversity loss worldwide protected areas are set aside to provide wildlife with a safe space. Conservationists often focus on species counts when measuring success. But are these protected areas doing enough to preserve the entire structure of ecosystems This question is at the heart of a new study from Swansea University.
The relationships between organisms play a key role in ecological balance. That a hawk (鹰) hunts smaller birds or a songbird feeding on insects reflects interactions that keep ecosystems working. To figure out if protected areas help keep this ecological balance, the Swansea team examined the structure of food webs. They used data from platforms like eBird, where volunteers record bird sightings. This allowed the experts to track 509 bird species across 45 ecological networks from Spain to Finland.
Using this large database, the team combined observational bird records with known predator-prey (捕食者-猎物) links. For example, if a hawk feeds on smaller birds, that relationship was mapped. The team compared food webs inside protected areas to those in surrounding non- protected areas. They also looked at habitat diversity, the percentage of forest and agricultural land, and levels of human pressure.
The networks inside protected areas tended to have more species overall. Intermediate-level species were more common. Also, predators inside protected areas tended to be larger in body size, both at the top and middle levels of the food web.
However, the length of food chains and the connectivity of species within the web did not show consistent improvement. Generally, areas that were more remote or had higher habitat diversity had healthier food webs. Human pressure and the amount of nearby farmland had a strong influence, too. Interestingly, areas under the European Bird Directives showed stronger positive trends. This suggests clearer conservation planning makes a difference.
The research shows relationships between species are equally vital. Protecting one bird species is good. Ensuring that it still plays its ecological role — as predator, prey or pollinator (传粉者) — is better. Conservation needs to think about networks, not just the number of species saved.
12. Why did the Swansea team examine the structure of food webs
A. To understand the effectiveness of conservation efforts.
B. To show the consequence of human pressure on wildlife.
C. To prove the position of predators in ecosystems.
D. To test the species counts in protected areas.
13. How was the finding of protected areas according to paragraph 4
A. Worrying. B. Unsatisfactory. C. Encouraging. D. Regretful.
14. What caused the food web differences
A. The local culture. B. The environmental factor.
C. Financial support. D. People’s safety awareness.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Future of Global Biodiversity
B. The Direction of Protected Areas in Conservation
C. The Purpose of Species Counts in Ecological Balance
D. The Importance of Species Relationships in Ecosystems

One of the most significant developments throughout history is the speed of information sharing. Never has it been so easy to learn about what’s happening in the world, and while sending it to our circles of friends and family who’ll share it with their circles of friends and family, in less than five minutes, we’ve all read the same article, viewed the same post or watched the same video. ____16____
However, I find there’s a bad side to every good thing. Due to the amount of information that’s shared, sometimes, negative news outweighs positive ones. ____17____ Consequently, the moment you open your phone, you’re met with news about conflict, disease or economic instability. Unavoidably, this will affect the way your brain processes information and ultimately your mental health.
You may feel more worried when a friend says to you, “There’s nothing wrong with my life. ____18____” Possibly it’s because most of the conversations around you and the content you’re consuming center around what someone is doing wrong, or what you shouldn’t be doing with your life. It’s impossible to feel good about yourself when you’re constantly reminded of what’s going wrong.
How lucky I am that I can choose to simply put my phone away when I don’t want to be reminded about a disease happening in a community! ____19____ It’s always essential to find the balance between staying informed and not letting the overconsumption of information affect our mental health.
____20____ If this information is mostly negative, we’ll suffer because of it. So make sure that you stay informed from proper news sources, but it’s also okay to choose to put your phone away and watch a comedy show instead.
A. It must be dealt with in time.
B. Personally, I find this to be remarkable.
C. However, I don’t know why I feel anxious.
D. It’s with a certain sense of shame that I share this.
E We must take care of ourselves to the extent that we can.
F. Everyone is angry and scared and they’re sharing these emotions online.
G. We live such fast-paced lives, with our brains constantly receiving information.

As graduation approached, Maya had a crazy idea. What if she could paint a portrait (肖像) for every one of her classmates She worked secretly, ____23____ moments between classes and during lunch breaks. Some classmates knew Maya was an artist, but none ____24____ such a massive project.
On graduation day, Maya ____25____ the podium (讲台) nervously. The classroom became quiet as she began speaking about connection and the ____26____ they carried inside them. “Look under your chairs,” she said ____27____.
As all her classmates ____28____ the carefully wrapped pictures, the room transformed. Tears, laughter, amazed silence — each ____29____ was as unique as the portraits themselves. Her best friend Sophia’s portrait showed her medical textbooks and dance shoes, describing her complex ____30____.
“These aren’t just paintings,” Maya said, her voice gaining ____31____ gradually. “These are ____32____ showing each of you how remarkable you truly are,” The standing ____33____ lasted several minutes. Maya realized her ability to help people ____34____ themselves with compassion, curiosity and wonder.

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。
Sunlight was my alarm as I rose to prepare for my morning coffee. I looked out into our living area where my son and my husband, Jon, were asleep. I smiled as the traveling life wove our family together from separate pieces of cloth into a quilted piece of art.
I thought back to our old life. Jon worked over forty hours a week as the only IT person for the bank and its eleven branches. I also worked in a company that was very demanding. Jon had his work schedules and I had my work plans, so we hardly had time to keep up with my son’s public schooling. Our son was very dissatisfied with us and our relationship was at a breaking point. Therefore, I talked with Jon seriously, deciding to do something for it during the summer vacation.
Then our life fit into 200 square feet of living space in this motorhome and a 5×7 storage unit. With such limited storage space, something new came in only if something old went out. We had more time to accompany our son. “Morning, Mom,” my little son greeted me. “I remember I have a composition needed to finish today, but I am at a loss for ideas and I don’t know how to do it,” he added.
“Oh, honey, I think we can think of an idea together after breakfast,” I kissed him.
As the sweet-smelling coffee filled the motorhome, I glanced at my son’s notebook page titled “My Best Adventure”. After breakfast, my son and I sat at the table to discuss his composition. He chewed on the end of his pencil, frowning (皱眉). Though Jon joined us and offered some advice, he still seemed to be at a loss. “Mom, I still don’t know how to write about ‘My Best Adventure’,” he said sadly. I touched his hair gently. Then suddenly, an idea occurred to me.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Let’s all go on an adventure right now!” I suggested. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That evening, my son’s pencil flew across his notebook. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We would greatly appreciate it if you could come and give us some advice on how to improve them.
Looking forward to your reply.

【47题答案】
【答案】
“Let’s all go on an adventure right now!” I suggested. Then my son, Jon and I grabbed our backpacks and headed to the nearby forest trail. The morning sunlight filtered through the trees, casting shadows on the path. As we walked, my son pointed out a family of deer jumping across the clearing. “Look, Mom and Dad! They’re just like us — traveling together!” he exclaimed, eyes sparkling. We spent the morning collecting leaves, chasing butterflies, and listening to birds singing in the trees. By afternoon, his notebook was filled with sketches and notes.
That evening, my son’s pencil flew across his notebook. “Today I have learned adventure isn’t just about big trips. It’s when Dad and Mom took me to the forest. It’s waking up every day with my family, exploring new things together. Even our tiny home feels like an adventure because we’re all in it.” As he read it aloud, our tiny motorhome felt enormous — not with things, but with the quiet magic of being truly together. I watched him, feeling grateful for this precious moment and the adventure we were sharing together.
