I switched to a flip phone (翻盖手机). It vastly improved my life. I felt empty and frustrated at how much time I spent on my smartphone. So I spent the last five years steadily stripping my phone down to the basics. Social media was the first to go, then email, then news apps, and then even internet browsers.
I long considered switching to a flip phone, but I always found an excuse to stay. Ultimately it was two of my students, 15- and 18-year-old sisters, who pushed me over the edge. Word spread around school that they had bought flip phones. If they were brave enough to take the plunge, I could, too. I spent $9 on a flip phone, plus $120 for a year of unlimited talk and text on a new number. For the last five months, I haven’t carried a smartphone with me, just my flip phone.
This is the charming, romantic side of owning a flip phone: more conversations, more eye contact, more connection. The separation between work and life is much more noticeable. I don’t overthink work emails all day, since I no longer carry my work email in my pocket. I am living more like my creative, curious, phone-free children.
This all sounds wonderful because it is wonderful. And now it’s confession time: I still have my smartphone. As it turns out, our addiction to smartphones is not just on an individual level. Intentionally or not, we have built structures that depend upon smartphone access, making it an essential feature of modern life. While most of the flip phone inconveniences are charming, some of them are so frustrating that they make you want to pull your hair out.
Despite that, I will continue to use a flip phone as my primary phone so I don’t have to carry a smartphone with me. And I will continue to evangelize for it. I hope many others get flip phones. We will all be better for it. If nothing else, it’ll be nice to have more people to talk to in the grocery line.

B Overspent time on his smartphone.
C. Inspiration from his students.
D. Negative feelings to smartphones.
25. What happened after the author used a flip phone
A. He got less work assignments.
B. He had more interaction with people.
C. He spent more time with his children.
D. He lived a more romantic life.
26. Why is it difficult to stop using smartphones completely nowadays
A. They serve as a vital tool.
B. They make people overthink.
C. They represent the modern life.
D. They bring people many profits.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To advise readers to use a flip phone.
B To advocate living without a smartphone.
C. To inform readers of a flip phone’s advantages.
D. To stress the disadvantages of having a smartphone.

Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’ re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology.
The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant’s chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor (受体) present on nociceptors — the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃. When activated, these cells trigger an instant alarm response, causing the body to react as if it’s been burned. This begs the question: why would we enjoy a feeling signaling potential danger
The enjoyment of spicy food is learned through adaptation of the nervous system. Initially,the brain misinterprets the capsaicin-caused heat as a potential threat, triggering an alarm-like response. Through repeated exposure, however, it receives consistent feedback indicating no actual tissue damage occurs. The feeling is gradually reassessed as safe and controllable,transforming the initial pain into a form of“benign masochism”. Much like the thrill of a roller coaster ride, the perceived danger — now under our command — becomes an internal part of the pleasure.
Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one’s TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain’s predictive system becomes more accurate.
So what can you do if the spice becomes overwhelming Since capsaicin is fat- soluble,water is ineffective because it only spreads the compound. Dairy products like milk or yogurt are far better solutions — the fat and protein in them combine with the capsaicin and carry it away.
28. Why does eating chili peppers give people the burning feeling
A. Capsaicin briefly hurts taste buds. B. Chilli peppers bring potential danger.
C. Capsaicin triggers the reaction of TRPV1. D. Chilli peppers raise the body’s temperature.
29. Which experience is most similar to enjoying spicy food
A. Listening to music. B. Smoking cigarettes.
C. Exploring the Antarctic. D. Watching a horror film.
30. What does building a high spice tolerance involve
A. Conscious efforts. B. Genetic adaptation.
C. Blocking spiciness signals. D. Keeping receptors from responding.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Capsaicin’s Trick: A False Burning Alarm B. The Spice Lover’s Dilemma: Pleasure in Pain
C. The Body’s Signal: Physical Reactions to Spice D. The Art of Endurance: Building Spice Tolerance
D
A new major study suggests that maintaining healthy eating habits in midlife is linked to better aging in later years. Conducted by researchers from Harvard, the University of Copenhagen, and the University of Montreal, this study does not just focus on living a long life. Instead, it looks at “healthy aging,” which is defined as living to age 70 or older without major chronic diseases while maintaining good cognitive, physical, and mental health.
The team observed over 105,000 female and male health professionals in midlife for 30 years. Participants regularly completed detailed dietary questionnaires. The researchers scored these answers based on eight different healthy dietary patterns. These patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet or the DASH diet, generally encourage high intakes of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, while limiting red and processed meats. They also carefully examined the amount of ultra-processed foods participants consumed.
The results are promising. A total of 9.3% of the population aged healthily. Overall, those who stuck to any of these healthy dietary patterns were more likely to age well. The top performer was the AHEI diet. People with high scores were much more likely to live past 70 in good health than those with low scores. Another strong option was the PHDI, which emphasizes plant-based foods while considering planetary health. In contrast, eating too much processed meat and sugary drinks lowered the chances of healthy aging.
The researchers emphasize that there is no “one-size-fits-all” diet. Healthy diets can be adapted to fit individual needs and preferences. The main goal is to eat mostly plant-based foods with a moderate inclusion of healthy animal products. This flexibility helps people maintain an independent and active quality of life as they age, which is a priority for both individuals and public health.
However, the study has some limitations. The participants were all health professionals, meaning their socioeconomic status and education levels might be higher than average. To apply the results more widely, future studies should repeat the research in populations with more diverse backgrounds.
32. How does the study define “healthy aging”
A. By living a long life without any illnesses.
B. By maintaining physical and mental health at 70.
C. By following a strict diet plan in midlife.
D. By avoiding animal-based foods totally.
33. What is a common feature of the recommended dietary patterns
A. They are high in red meat intake.
B. They strictly exclude all dairy products.
C. They encourage eating more plant-based foods.
D. They focus mainly on environmental protection.
34. What does the author suggest about healthy diets
A. They require people to eat the same foods.
B. They can be adapted to individual needs.
C. They are difficult to follow for young people.
D. They are better than medicine for diseases.
35. Why does the author mention the study’s limitation
A. To prove the study is unscientific.
B. To suggest the need for more diverse subjects.
C. To show health professionals eat poorly.
D. To indicate the diet is harmful.

The Popsicle Kids
A nearly empty box of Popsicles (棒冰) in the freezer, left from a grandchild’s visit, caught my attention. Initially, I wanted to throw it away, but my wife suggested we give the remaining Popsicles to the neighborhood children. Her suggestion changed our life and led us to a future full of “Popsicle Kids.” My wife and I, retired on Social Security, live in an apartment complex. After careers in sales and nursing, our daily concerns revolved around aches, pains, and dinner. We often wondered what good we were to the world.
That changed dramatically after we gave away the first Popsicle.
Minutes after watching a neighbor boy, a second grader, walk away with an icy treat, our doorbell rang. An adorable blond girl, about six, smiled sweetly, “Is it true you’re giving away Popsicles ”
With the box empty, we returned to our concerns.
Early the next morning, the doorbell rang repeatedly. Standing on our porch were the four children from the previous day. They vocalized their wants, chanting (有节奏地喊), “We want Popsicles! We want Popsicles!”
Looking into their eager young faces, I wondered, “What have I started ” Sensing a victory, they nodded eagerly when I explained the rules: ring the bell once, one Popsicle per day, and share something good about their day. But their thin shoulders bent downwards in disappointment when I mentioned they had to give something in return. I came to the rescue, suggesting they share something positive about their day, like what they learned at school or helping another student. Over time, new rules were added: “Ladies first,” “Don’t interrupt,” and “Properly get rid of the sticks.”
On holidays, they expressed their understanding of why the day was celebrated. Over the years, about fifty youngsters visited. Some became part of my life, like the four kids who joined me on the steps one spring to read “Where the Red Fern Grows.” We discussed catching crawfish, loving pets, and family relationships. This simple act of sharing Popsicles transformed our life, bringing joy and meaning to both the children and ourselves.
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。
Paragraph1:
One night, another boy appeared at the door, saying “I don’t want a Popsicle; I just need to talk”

Paragraph 2：
I’ve sensed it’s more than Popsicles that bring these kids to our door.

It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor (受体) present on nociceptors — the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃.(我们从辣椒中感受到的热感源自辣椒素，这是一种植物的化学防御物质。它专门作用于TRPV1受体，该受体存在于伤害感受器（能够感知潜在有害因素，如超过42℃的高温）上)”可知，吃辣椒会让人们产生灼烧感是因为辣椒素会触发TRPV1受体的反应。故选C。
29. 答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“The feeling is gradually reassessed as safe and controllable, transforming the initial pain into a form of “benign masochism”. Much like the thrill of a roller coaster ride, the perceived danger — now under our command — becomes an internal part of the pleasure.(这种感觉逐渐被重新评估为安全且可控的，从而将最初的痛苦转化为一种“良性受虐狂”的体验。就像乘坐过山车时的刺激感一样，我们所感知到的危险——如今已处于我们的掌控之中——成为了愉悦的一部分)”可知，享受辣食的快感属于“良性受虐”——明知没有实际伤害，却因可控的“危险感”获得刺激，和看恐怖片的体验逻辑一致（恐惧但安全）。故选D。
30. 答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one’s TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain’s predictive system becomes more accurate.(每个人的耐受度都有所不同。遗传因素会影响人体TRPV1受体对辣椒素的敏感程度。更重要的是，人们能够逐渐形成耐受性，即通过训练让身体和大脑能够更好地应对更高的辣度。随着时间的推移，这些受体自身的反应会减弱，而大脑的预测系统也会变得更加准确)”可知，增强对辛辣食物的耐受能力需要积极主动的努力。故选A。
31. 答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’ re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology.(吃辛辣食物时，会出现流泪、出汗、流鼻涕等生理反应。然而，全球数以百万计的人却热衷于这种令人不适的感觉。其原因并非在于味觉，而是源于我们复杂的神经系统和心理状态)”结合本文解释人们喜爱辣食的原因：辣椒素刺激神经产生灼烧感，经反复接触，大脑将其判定为可控刺激，转化为快感，还介绍了耐辣方法与解辣妙招。可知，B选项“辣味爱好者面临的困境：在痛苦中寻求愉悦”最符合文章标题。故选B。
32. 答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Instead, it looks at “healthy aging,” which is defined as living to age 70 or older without major chronic diseases while maintaining good cognitive, physical, and mental health. (相反，它关注的是“健康衰老”，其定义为活到70岁或更年长，没有重大慢性疾病，同时保持良好的认知、身体和心理健康)”可知，该研究对“健康衰老”的定义是在70岁时保持身体和心理健康，故选B项。
33. 答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“These patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet or the DASH diet, generally encourage high intakes of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, while limiting red and processed meats.(这些模式，如地中海饮食或得舒饮食，通常鼓励大量摄入水果、蔬菜、全谷物和健康脂肪，同时限制红肉和加工肉类)”可知，推荐的饮食模式的一个共同特征是鼓励多吃植物性食物，故选C项。
34. 答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers emphasize that there is no “one-size-fits-all” diet. Healthy diets can be adapted to fit individual needs and preferences.(研究人员强调，没有“一刀切”的饮食。健康饮食可以适应个人需求和偏好)”可知，作者认为健康饮食可以适应个人需求，故选B项。
35. 答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“The participants were all health professionals, meaning their socioeconomic status and education levels might be higher than average. To apply the results more widely, future studies should repeat the research in populations with more diverse backgrounds.(参与者都是健康专业人员，这意味着他们的社会经济地位和教育水平可能高于平均水平。为了更广泛地应用这些结果，未来的研究应该在更多样化背景的人群中重复这项研究)”可知，作者提到研究的局限性是为了表明需要更多样化的研究对象，故选B项。
答案：36. C 37. D 38. A 39. F 40. G
解析：36.根据上文“Whether you visit regularly or you’re new to using libraries, you might be surprised to learn how much they can do for you — beyond letting you borrow amazing books for free.(无论你是经常光顾图书馆，还是初次接触图书馆，你都可能会惊讶地发现，图书馆能为你提供的远不止是免费借阅精彩书籍这么简单)”以及下文“Here are some of the many things the library has to offer.(以下是图书馆所提供的众多服务中的部分内容)”可知，图书馆不仅仅收藏图书，还包括许多其他服务内容，C项“图书馆不仅仅是一堆书籍的集合”符合语境。故选C。
37.根据下文“Tell them what books you have enjoyed, as well as subjects that interest and inspire you. They can recommend your next read.(告诉他们你喜欢哪些书籍，以及哪些主题能让你产生兴趣并给你带来启发。他们可以为你推荐接下来要读的书)”可知，空后提到告诉图书管理员你喜欢的书和感兴趣的主题，他们能推荐下一本读物。D项“此外，图书馆工作人员还能给出很多不错的阅读推荐”符合语境，表明图书管理员能给出不错的书籍推荐。故选D。
38.根据下文“Besides books, you or an adult in your family can also borrow and stream movies, music, and TV shows with the help of library apps like Hoopla and Kanopy — find out which app your library uses. There are also computers to use for free and quiet zones where you can do homework without distractions (分心的事). You may also find free or discounted printing and photocopying.(除了书籍之外，您或者您家中的成年人还可以借助像霍普拉和卡诺普这样的图书馆应用程序来借阅在线电影、音乐和电视节目——请查明您所在图书馆使用的是哪个应用程序。此外，还有可供免费使用的电脑以及安静的区域供您用于做作业，不会受到干扰。您或许还能找到免费或打折的打印和复印服务)”可知，该段介绍了除书籍外，还能借助图书馆应用借阅和播放电影、音乐等，还可以免费使用电脑等。A项“一个多媒体中心”能很好地概括这一多媒体功能的集合。故选A。
39.根据上文“Many libraries host free events for young people. You can ask a librarian or check the library’s website for a schedule of upcoming activities and sign up with your card. These can include teen book clubs, gaming clubs, art workshops, makerspaces, and classes like chess and crafting (手工).(许多图书馆都会为青少年举办免费活动。您可以向图书馆工作人员咨询，或者查看图书馆的网站以获取即将举行的活动的安排信息，并使用您的借书证进行报名。这些活动可能包括青少年读书俱乐部、游戏俱乐部、艺术工作坊、创客空间以及诸如国际象棋和手工制作之类的课程)”可知，上文列举了图书馆举办的青少年书社、游戏俱乐部等免费活动，F项“这些活动既能带来乐趣，又能为人们提供社交的机会”对这些活动能带来娱乐和社交机会进行总结，符合语境。故选F。
40.根据上文“Many libraries welcome volunteer help from kids. You can learn valuable skills, such as managing responsibility and communicating with others.(许多图书馆都欢迎孩子们提供志愿服务。通过参与这些活动，你可以学到很多有用的能力，比如学会承担责任以及与他人进行有效沟通)”可知，该段围绕图书馆志愿者机会展开，下文提到“Others need kids to volunteer to read advance reader copies of books.(还有一些机构则需要志愿者来帮忙阅读提前准备好的书籍样本)”，G项“有些图书馆会要求孩子们撰写书评，以帮助其他孩子决定读什么书”与之结构呼应，介绍了一些图书馆让孩子写书评的志愿者活动。故选G。

66. 答案：
例文
New Gaokao Listening Reform
Last weekend, our school held a lecture on the new Gaokao listening reform for Senior 3 students, who attended it with great enthusiasm.
The lecturer explained the switch to the computer-based English listening test, introducing its differences in operation and audio from the traditional one. He also shared practical mindset adjustment strategies, like taking deep breaths to stay calm.
This lecture was really helpful. Not only did we clearly understand the reform, but we also gained valuable listening skills. We all felt grateful for the school’s timely guidance, which gave us more confidence for the coming exam.
67.答案：
Paragraph1:
One night, another boy appeared at the door, saying “I don’t want a Popsicle; I just need to talk”. Surprised but concerned, I invited him in and offered a seat. He sat on the couch, looking down at his shoes, his face filled with anxiety. Slowly, he opened up about the argument he had with his best friend at school that day. I listened attentively, nodding occasionally to show I was there for him. After he poured out his feelings, I shared some stories of my own childhood conflicts and how I resolved them. By the end of our talk, his frown had turned into a faint smile. Before leaving, he thanked me earnestly, and I realized that our little Popsicle tradition had become a safe haven for these kids.
Paragraph 2：
I’ve sensed it’s more than Popsicles that bring these kids to our door. Beyond the sweet treats, it’s the sense of trust and understanding we’ve built. We’ve become their confidants, their listening ears. For us, these interactions have filled our retired life with purpose and warmth. We’ve witnessed their growth, their joys, and their sorrows. Each time the doorbell rings, it’s not just the anticipation of sharing a Popsicle but an opportunity to connect, to offer comfort, and to be a part of these young lives. In return, they’ve given us a new perspective on life and a deeper appreciation for the simple yet profound power of human connection.

Now I’ll tell you how to do it. Please listen to me carefully. First, you have to wash the fruits and peel the skins. Next, take out the seeds from the apples and pears. Then, you can take a knife and cut the fruits into small pieces. Remember that you should be very careful and it is quite dangerous to play with knives. After that, put the fruits into a big bowl and put some salad dressing on it. Use a spoon to mix the fruits and salad dressing together. Last, put the salad into the fridge and wait for some time. Soon, it will be ready to serve. OK. Let’s begin to make the salad. We have one hour and fifteen minutes. When you finish doing it, please don’t stay in the kitchen. You have to wait in the TV room until your parents arrive to pick you up.
