Text 10 运动改善身心健康
M: Did you know that regular physical activity can significantly improve mental health Exercise is not only good for the body, but also plays a crucial role in enhancing mood and reducing feelings of anxiety and depression. [18] In fact, studies show that people who engage in at least half an hour of moderate exercise most days report feeling happier and more relaxed.
Other research suggests that even shorter periods of intense exercise or longer sessions of light activity can produce similar benefits.
Activities like walking, cycling, and swimming can help the brain release chemicals that make people feel good. These natural substances reduce stress and create a sense of well-being.
[19] Furthermore, exercise can improve sleep quality, which is important for overall mental health.
[20] Researchers conducted a study with 300 participants over a six-month period. Half of the group committed to a regular exercise routine, while the other half continued with their usual lifestyle. The findings showed that those who exercised experienced a 40% reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression compared to those who didn’t.
So, if you’re feeling low or stressed, consider getting active as a simple yet effective way to improve your mood!

体裁:记叙文 主题语境:人与自我——做人与做事 难度:★★☆☆☆
Jon Jandai grew up in an agricultural village in Northeastern Thailand where he recalls his family and neighbors working for two hours a day for only two months a year, leaving them time for post-lunch naps (小睡), monthly festivals, and plenty of self-reflection.
As a young adult, Jandai worked as a security guard in Bangkok for seven years, where he was disappointed by long hours, little pay, a crowded apartment, and a repetitive diet of noodles and fried rice. He returned home to recreate the agricultural life he missed, learning to farm organically — with a wide variety of Thai fruits and vegetables, and build his own house out of packed mud.
Over time, Jandai and his wife, Peggy Reents, built a community that grew their own food and constructed their own homes on nine acres (英亩) of land outside of Chiang Mai. In 2003, they founded Pun Pun, which is an organic farm and intentional community, as well as a center for seed-saving and sustainable living and learning, just north of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Members of the Pun Pun community also run two restaurants in Chiang Mai, where they serve local, organic, GMO-free food, created to highlight the value of the diverse traditional seed varieties grown and saved at Pun Pun.
When Jandai isn't communicating with farmers or teaching workshops on earthen home-building and organic farming, he spends free time on Pun Pun with around 20 other full-time residents, including several homeschooled children. Members of the community work on the farm for a couple of hours a day, cook and eat collectively, and spend the rest of their days napping, chatting, and having fun. They earn less than Thailand's minimum wage, Jandai says, but are economically secure because they spend even less.
24. What was the life in Jandai's village like
A. It was difficult but fun-filled.
B. It was carefree and peaceful.
C. It was relaxing but boring.
D. It was busy and stressful.
25. Why did Jandai quit his job in Bangkok
A. He found it hard to make a good living.
B. He disliked its food and his coworkers.
C. He made a serious mistake at work.
D. He had to take care of his parents.
26. What can be learned about Pun Pun
A. It was set up 30 years ago.
B. It is located near Bangkok.
C. It is a multi-purpose complex.
D. It has two branches in Chiang Mai.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Pun Pun: a sustainable home
B. Thailand: a country worth exploring
C. Jon Jandai: a villager with diversity in mind
D. Jon Jandai: farmer, builder and man of leisure
主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事
本文是记叙文。文章讲述了泰国农民Jon Jandai不平凡的人生经历。
24. B。推断。根据第一段中的his family and neighbors working for two hours a day for only two months a year, leaving them time for post - lunch naps, monthly festivals, and plenty of self - reflection可知，Jandai老家的人们过着无忧无虑、平静的生活。
25. A。理解具体信息。根据第二段中的he was disappointed by long hours, little pay, a crowded apartment, and a repetitive diet of noodles and fried rice可知，他发现在曼谷很难过上好日子，所以就辞掉了工作。
26. C。理解具体信息。根据第三段中的Pun Pun, which is an organic farm and intentional community, as well as a center for seed - saving and sustainable living and learning可知，Pun Pun既是一个有机农场和理念村，也是一个用来保存种子和践行可持续生活与学习的中心。由此可见，它是一个具有多重功能的综合体。
27. D。理解主旨要义。总览全文可知，Jon Jandai因在外谋生受挫而返回家乡寻找自己理想中的生活。他学习耕种、建造房屋、打造有机农场并在劳动之余享受闲暇时光，故D项作为文章标题最合适。

(外刊原味23) 体裁:说明文 主题语境:自然科学研究 难度:★★★☆☆ @ Scientific American
Around 1745, Chinese emperor and poet Qianlong was sailing on the Yangtze River when he encountered a breathtaking sight: a group of what we now call Yangtze finless porpoises emerged from the water’s surface. “Porpoises chased moonlight on silvered tides, as dragons summoned storm—clouds loom in sight,” he wrote in a poem.
Almost 300 years later, scientists combed ancient Chinese poems to map the historical range of this critically endangered species—the world’s only freshwater porpoise, with about 1,250 wild individuals. By tracking mentions across dynasties, they aimed to better understand threats to this species.
“Access to past data allows us to detect when declines began and correlate those changes with potential threats like habitat destruction, climate change, overhunting, or the introduction of invasive species,” says Zhang, an ecologist at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Zhang and her colleagues turned to ancient poems because official records rarely mentioned these animals. Using a database of Chinese literature, they searched historical names of the animal across dynastic poetry, manually checking each mention to ensure it referred to the porpoise and not other animals. They identified 724 poems mentioning the porpoises. Half contained geographic data.
This window into the past showed a 65% range loss over 1,400 years, accelerating in the past century. While poems from the distant past mentioned porpoises in tributaries and lakes along the Yangtze, in more recent poems, these references dramatically decreased. The researchers concluded the population has declined 91%.
“The study helps understand past species distributions and human-caused biodiversity losses,” says macroecologist Jens-Christian Svenning, who was not involved with the new research. For example, scientists reconstructed the former composition of animals in Greece using ancient epic poems. Though there can be challenges to this approach—and sometimes inaccuracies—there’s “much potential” to apply this method to other species and in other areas of the world.
28.How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph
A. By giving an example. B. By recalling an event.
C. By analyzing a poem. D. By representing a scene.
29.What were the scientists trying to do
A. Review official historical records. B. Trace past range for threat analysis.
C. Count names in ancient poetry. D. Evaluate human threats to porpoises.
30.What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning Greek epic in paragraph 6
A. Solution to data inaccuracies. B. Potential application of the strategy.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Possible direction for further study.
31.What is the text mainly about
A. Qianlong’s poetic legacy. B. Freshwater species decline.
C. Ancient texts aiding science. D. Global biodiversity conservation.

体裁:说明文 主题语境:社会生活 难度:★★★☆☆
Intersections are deadly places, where more than half of all car crashes occur. A study shows that solving part of this public health crisis could come down to a simple, surprising tool. It’s not a new traffic signal or a big structure: it’s a bucket of paint.
Art projects painted onto streets and intersections significantly improve safety, reducing the rate of crashes involving cars and pedestrians (行人) by up to 50% and all crashes by 17%, according to the study. These road art projects include multi-colored wall decorations and paint jobs on the streets, crosswalks, and asphalt (沥青) in and around busy intersections. Often bright and hard for drivers to miss, they tend to cause drivers to slow down, be more careful, and be more attentive to pedestrians.
The simple interventions have been adopted as part of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Asphalt Art Initiative, which has issued funds to 41 U.S. cities and three European cities. This study focused on some of these projects, and its findings provide data to suggest they can make intersections safer.
Sadik-Khan, a former commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation, started with a simple paint job on the street and some plastic traffic posts. The project had a positive effect on travel times, increased pedestrian activity, and even benefited businesses in the area. Now, such projects are being extended across the country with similar benefits. Some were completed for just a few thousand dollars. A few cost even hundreds.
They don’t automatically translate into safety improvements, though. The study found that asphalt art projects in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia, weren’t related to crash reductions, with crash rates increasing 41% and 28% respectively.
But Bloomberg Philanthropies plans to continue the work. They’ll give $25,000 to as many as 20 European cities to do their own road art projects. With decreased crashes reported in the study, Sadik-Khan is hoping other cities will see the benefit of doing these kinds of projects.
32.What do we know about road art projects
A. They need a great deal of money. B. They function permanently.
C. They raise concerns in drivers. D. They help drivers concentrate.
33.What does the underlined word “interventions” refer to in paragraph 3
A. Financial investment plans. B. Street painting projects.
C. Traffic control regulations. D. Wall decoration practices.
34.What can be inferred about the Asphalt Art Initiative’s future strategy
A. It will expand despite mixed outcomes.
B. It will replace traditional traffic methods.
C. It will focus on suburban intersections next.
D. It will prioritize European cities over U.S. cities.
35.What is the best title for the text
A. Bloomberg’s Initiative Transforms American Arts
B. Colorful Roads Boost Local Tourism in Major Cities
C. Innovative Traffic Signals Enhance Pedestrian Safety
D. Cost-Efficient Street Art Ensures Safer Urban Roads
答案与解析
研究表明,街道和十字路口的艺术彩绘项目可显著提升安全性,减少车祸,该项目成本低,虽部分城市效果不佳,但相关计划仍将扩展。
32.D 细节理解题。第二段明确说明道路艺术项目的作用:色彩鲜艳不易被司机忽视→使司机减速、更谨慎、更关注行人。由此可知,道路艺术项目有助于司机集中注意力。故选D。“help drivers concentrate (帮助司机集中注意力)”是“be more attentive”(更专注)的同义转述。
33.B 词句猜测题。第二段详细说明干预措施:街道和交叉路口的艺术彩绘项目(Art projects painted)可将涉及汽车和行人的事故率降低多达50%,并将所有事故率降低17%。第三段首句承接上文,说明这些简单的“干预措施”被纳入相关计划,因此interventions指“街头彩绘项目”。故选B。
34.A 推理判断题。第四段介绍该项目多重效益——提升安全(positive effect on travel times),激活街区(increased pedestrian activity)并带动商业(benefited businesses)且低成本(just a few thousand dollars)。第五段转折词though引出反例:在佐治亚州的亚特兰大和迪凯特市开展的沥青艺术项目与事故减少并无关联,事故率分别上升了41%和28%。第六段But转折强调持续推广项目,并拨款2.5万美元给20个欧洲城市。由此可知,虽结果好坏参半,该计划仍将扩大实施。故选A。expand是extend的同义转述。
35.D 标题归纳题。本文属于问题——解决型:首段提出交叉口事故问题→第二段首句为主题句,说明街道和十字路口的艺术彩绘项目可显著提升安全,并用数据佐证降低事故率→第三至四段利用案例说明项目低成本和多重效益→第五段though引出反例,指出项目效果不稳定→第六段But转折强调虽结果好坏参半,仍持续推广低成本方案。由此推出,全文围绕“低成本道路艺术提升交通安全”展开。故选D。

体裁:说明文 主题语境:健康的生活方式 难度:★★★☆☆
Can you reach down and touch your toes without bending your knees Can you reach both arms overhead If these sound like a struggle, you may be lacking flexibility. 36 It helps you perform most sporting activities and may prevent muscle injuries. Improving flexibility is surprisingly easy, research says. Here’s “How”.
How long
We found holding a stretch for around four minutes in a single session is good for an immediate improvement in flexibility. Any longer, and you don’t appear to get any more improvement. For permanent improvements in flexibility, it looks like you need to stretch a muscle for longer—around ten minutes per week for the biggest improvement. 37
How hard
You can think of stretching as being hard, when you stretch into pain, or easy, when the stretch you feel isn’t uncomfortable. 38 Both hard and easy stretching equally improve flexibility.
How often
39 What is important is that you aim for up to ten minutes per week for each muscle that you stretch. So, for example, you could stretch each muscle for a little more than one minute a day, or five minutes twice a week. The amount of time you should spend stretching will finally depend on how many muscles you need to stretch.
On the whole, it doesn’t matter what muscle you stretch, how old you are, or whether you are a couch potato or an experienced athlete. 40 As you can see, it really isn’t too much of a stretch to become more flexible.
A. Everyone can improve their flexibility.
B. But this doesn’t need to occur all at once.
C. However, the best advice is to visit a qualified health professional.
D. Improving flexibility doesn’t depend on weekly stretch frequency.
E. Flexibility is the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion.
F. The good news is that how forcefully you carry out the stretching doesn’t seem to matter.
G. The frequency of stretching required to boost your flexibility is higher than what you expect.
答案与解析
本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了提高身体柔韧性的方法,包括拉伸时长、强度和频率等方面的内容。
36.E 开篇用日常动作测试(摸脚尖、举手臂)引出柔韧性不足的问题,空后解释了柔韧性的重要性(提升运动表现、预防损伤)。故此空应是对柔韧性的定义。E选项“柔韧性是指关节在其整个运动范围内运动的能力”符合语境。空后主语It指代核心词“Flexibility”(柔韧性)。
37.B 空前提到了每周需要拉伸的时间,即时效用只需一次拉伸4分钟,最大效用每周约10分钟,空处与上文为转折关系。B选项“但这并不需要一次性完成”,But转折自然衔接,说明不需要一次就拉伸十分钟,this指代空前的“ten minutes per week”。
38.F 空后解释困难的和容易的两种拉伸都能同样地提高柔韧性,选项应承接空后内容说明拉伸的力度不重要。F选项“好消息是,你进行拉伸的力度似乎并不重要”符合语境。选项F的“how forcefully”(力度)呼应本段标题“How hard ”
39.D 后文详细解释“重要的是每周总量十分钟,而非单次频率”,接着举例解释可每天拉伸1分钟或每周2次5分钟。D选项“提高柔韧性并不取决于每周的拉伸频率”,概括该观点,符合语境。
40.A 前文否定年龄、体质差异的影响(couch potato or an experienced athlete),说明无论什么人都可以提高柔韧性。选项A“每个人都可以提高自己的柔韧性”总结前文。选项A的“improve their flexibility”与结尾句中的“become more flexible” (提升柔韧性)为同义复现。
积累
重点词 ①stretch n.伸展;舒展 ②couch potato老泡在电视机前的人 ③all at once突然;骤然;忽然

(外刊原味24) 体裁:记叙文 主题语境:生活与学习 难度:★★★☆☆ @ Chicken Soup for the Soul
There’s an autumn day that I recall whenever life feels overwhelming. I was a 41 then, caught up in schoolwork, social activities, and the pressure of 42 college applications. My neighbor Mr.Jensen, a quiet man in his seventies, brought me back to earth. Despite our age difference, we had a(n) 43 love for gardening, a hobby that 44 us.
One sunny afternoon, feeling 45 and anxious, I decided to take a break from my studies. I headed outside to my backyard garden, furiously 46 my frustrations with each yank (猛拽). Mr. Jensen, tending his blossoming rosebushes nearby, saw my frustration. He walked over and 47 joined me. After a brief silence, he finally spoke up, “Weeding a garden is like going through life.”
Curious, I stopped and 48 him. He 49 , “Sometimes, we focus so much on the weeds—the problems and 50 —that we forget to enjoy the flowers.” He 51 to his beautiful roses glowing in the sun, “Don’t forget to appreciate the roses, even when handling the weeds.”
That simple 52 hit me hard. I had been so focused on my problems and future 53 that I had forgotten to enjoy my present—the friendships, the 54 of learning and the beauty of being alive.
That day, Mr. Jensen taught me a life lesson. Now, whenever I feel overwhelmed by life’s “weeds”, I pause, breathe deeply, and 55 to appreciate my “roses”.

答案与解析
本文通过回忆少年时邻居老人用园艺隐喻(除草象征解决问题,玫瑰代表生活美好)教导焦虑中的“我”的故事,揭示了在压力下不忘珍惜当下美好的生活哲理。
41.C 后文的schoolwork、 college applications明确说明作者是青少年(面临升学压力)。pupil “小学生”; beginner “初学者”; gardener “园丁”。
42.B 作者的压力应该来自“即将到来的”大学申请,upcoming体现时间紧迫性。upcoming “即将发生(或来临)的”; profound “深远的”; secret “秘密的”; complicated “复杂的”。
43.D 下文提到作者决定休息,走到花园除草,而邻居老人在照料玫瑰花丛,由此可知, 作者和老人都热爱园艺,园艺是两人共同的爱好。shared “共同的”; temporary “暂时的;临时的”; professional “专业的”; accepted “公认的”。
44.A 两个人都热爱园艺,这种共同的爱好把两个人紧密联系在一起。bond “建立关系”; recognize “认出;认可”; challenge “挑战”; amuse “娱乐;逗笑”。
45.B 首段首句提到作者无论何时觉得生活难以应付(overwhelming),总会想起那个秋日。空处与and后的anxious(焦虑)同属负面情绪的词,后文furiously (疯狂)也表现出作者心力交瘁,故此处用overwhelmed,与overwhelming为同源词复现,表“感到难以应付的;心力交瘁的”。encouraged “感到鼓舞的”; fascinated “入迷的”; refreshed “精神振作的”。
46.C 上文提到作者感到心力交瘁、焦虑不安,决定暂停学习去透透气。此处指作者发狠地猛拽杂草,仿佛要将满心挫败感连根拔除。weed out 对应yank指除草动作,也暗指拔除自己的消极情绪。weed out “清除,剔除,淘汰”; figure out “弄清楚;弄明白;计算”; pull down “拆毁”; keep up “维持”。
47.B 首段尾句提到邻居是个70多岁的安静的老人,故此处指老人默默地和作者一起除草。silently “默默地”,符合人物性格。hesitantly “迟疑地”; suddenly “突然”; impatiently “不耐烦地”。
48.C 根据上文老人说的话“除草如人生”和空前的Curious 可知, 作者听到老人的话后应该是好奇地停下看他。 “stopped and looked at”自然衔接好奇反应,且动作连贯。look at “看”; engage with “与……沟通”; bump into “撞上”; attend to “照料”。
49.D 上文已提到老人说的话,此处继续描述老人的话, continue “继续说”, 延续上文的“spoke up”。 shout “吼叫”; whisper “低语;小声说”; argue “争辩道”。
50.B 空处与and前的problems为并列复现,应用difficulties。老人将生活中的“problems and difficulties”都看作是“野草”。solution “解决方法”; opportunity “机会”; surprise “惊喜”。
51.A 上文提到老人和作者一起除草, 因此此时老人应该指着自己的玫瑰。gesture “用手势表示;用动作示意”; race “快速移动”; kneel (knelt) “跪下”; bow “鞠躬”。
52.C 由下文的“taught me a life lesson”和老人的话“除草的时候不要忘记欣赏玫瑰”可知,老人的话是“人生智慧”。 wisdom “智慧”; principle “原则;原理”; theme “主题”; theory “理论”。
53.A 空处与problems并列,应用负面词, 结合首段中的“the pressure of 2 college applications”可知,此处指未来的压力。stress “压力”,与pressure是同义词复现。work “工作”; ambition “抱负”; growth “成长”。
54.B 上文提到要享受当下(enjoy my present), 破折号前后例证friendships和beauty均属积极体验,故此处指“学习的快乐”。joy “高兴;愉快;乐趣”; process “过程”; goal “目标”; burden “负担”。
55.D 空处呼应上文的“Don’t forget to appreciate the roses”,表记得欣赏“玫瑰”。struggle “挣扎;努力”; pretend “假装”; manage “设法完成”。
积累
语块 ①be caught up in深陷于;忙于应付 ②bring sb. back to earth使某人清醒/回到现实 ③take a break休息一下 ④speak up开口说话;大声点说 ⑤go through经历;经受 ⑥hit sb. hard使某人深受打击/触动

Scroll through Instagram for long enough and you’ll likely find someone scraping, brushing or massaging their skin in pursuit of 56 (good) health or an enhanced appearance.
Gua sha, in which you scrape a stone or metal tool along the contours (轮廓) of your face; body scraping, which is a full-body version of gua sha that 57 (use) similar tools; and jade rolling, in which you roll a rounded stone tool over your face, are techniques 58 (intend) to physically push, or drain, lymphatic (淋巴的) fluid toward the lymph nodes (结节), where it is filtered and then moved back into the bloodstream.

Massaging your lymph can help restimulate 62 (it) flow and prevent a feeling of “bodily congestion (堵塞)”, said Dr. Mellisa Ventimiglia, an 63 (assist) professor of family medicine—especially after sleeping or 64 (sit) for long periods of time. You may also notice immediate changes to your skin and face—a reduction 65 puffiness (虚肿) or a more sculpted look—with gua sha, Ms. Ridsdale said, though these effects only last a few hours.

58.intended 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知, and后的句子中, jade rolling是主语,谓语动词是are,表语是techniques,故空处填非谓语作定语修饰名词techniques。 be intended to do “旨在做……”,作定语时,用过去分词形式,填intended。
59.References 考查名词复数。空处作主语,应用名词,且谓语是go,故此处填名词复数,空处置于句首,首字母应大写,故填References。

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。
Sumi's daughter Anna had always been called "Number 23.”Every time the school released exam results,Anna would always end up in 23rd position among 50 pupils.Always 23,regardless of topic or term.Every time Sumi heard that nickname,it caused her concern.
When Sumi stayed with her friends,their discussion nearly always turned to their children.You know how it goes-one parent discusses their child's piano honors,another boasts about math olympiads or leadership responsibilities.While others were honoring these “great youngsters,”all Sumi could think about was Anna and her unpleasant nickname,Number 23.
Sumi had done everything to help Anna with school-hired professional tutors,bought fancy stationery,even packed brain food.And Anna tried.She gave up sketching,paper cutouts,and many others.She moved from one class to another,endlessly trying.But then the indicators started showing- she lost her appetite,couldn't sleep,and sweated all the time.Eventually,she got terribly sick.That was when Sumi gave in.She stopped pressing and Anna bounced back to being the cheery little child they knew.
One day,Sumi and her friends went on a weekend trip with their families.During lunch,two kids got into a heated quarrel over a single slice of dessert.No one could calm them down.Then Anna stepped in."Let's flip(抛 )a coin,"she said.Simple as that.Boom-problem solved.Everyone was astonished.
Later,on the journey back,they got delayed in traffic.The kids were getting restless.Anna She started delivering jokes like a big sister.Even the adults laughed.Then she took the leftover candy boxes and started changing them into animals-paper elephants,lions,and birds.Before everyone said goodbye, she presented one to each youngster as a gift.The other parents were shining with appreciation.For the first time in years,Sumi felt something well up in her chest-pride.

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Not long after,Sumigot a phone call from Anna's class teacher. That afternoon,Anna returned home,the Class Star certificate in hand.
一、参考范文
Paragraph 1:
Not long after;Sumi got a phone call from Annas class teacher:The teacher's voice was filled with warmth as she said,"I'm just calling because I have some wonderful news about Anna."She then explained that Anna had been selected for the Class Star award for her exceptional social skills and creative talents.Almost every kid voted for her.Sumi felt her eyes moisten as she listened, remembering all the times she had focused solely on academic rankings.“Anna was a genuinely remarkable child and I’m really proud of her,"the teacher added.
Paragraph 2:
That afiternoon,Anna returned home,the Class Star certificate in hand.She smiled brightly and told her mother,"I think my friends voted for me because they like my paper animals andjokes." Sumi hugged her tightly and said,“You're a beautiful angel,Anna.I didn't realize my little girl was a real-life hero.”Looking at Ann's happy face,Sumi now realized that every child has their own unique strengths that cannot be measured by grades alone.Being Number 23 didn't define her daughter's worth -it was simply one small part of the wonderful person she was becoming.

Jon Jandai grew up in an agricultural village in Northeastern Thailand where he recalls his family and neighbors working for two hours a day for only two months a year, leaving them time for post-lunch naps (小睡), monthly festivals, and plenty of self-reflection.
As a young adult, Jandai worked as a security guard in Bangkok for seven years, where he was disappointed by long hours, little pay, a crowded apartment, and a repetitive diet of noodles and fried rice. He returned home to recreate the agricultural life he missed, learning to farm organically — with a wide variety of Thai fruits and vegetables, and build his own house out of packed mud.
Over time, Jandai and his wife, Peggy Reents, built a community that grew their own food and constructed their own homes on nine acres (英亩) of land outside of Chiang Mai. In 2003, they founded Pun Pun, which is an organic farm and intentional community, as well as a center for seed-saving and sustainable living and learning, just north of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Members of the Pun Pun community also run two restaurants in Chiang Mai, where they serve local, organic, GMO-free food, created to highlight the value of the diverse traditional seed varieties grown and saved at Pun Pun.
When Jandai isn't communicating with farmers or teaching workshops on earthen home-building and organic farming, he spends free time on Pun Pun with around 20 other full-time residents, including several homeschooled children. Members of the community work on the farm for a couple of hours a day, cook and eat collectively, and spend the rest of their days napping, chatting, and having fun. They earn less than Thailand's minimum wage, Jandai says, but are economically secure because they spend even less.
24. What was the life in Jandai's village like
A. It was difficult but fun-filled.
B. It was carefree and peaceful.
C. It was relaxing but boring.
D. It was busy and stressful.
25. Why did Jandai quit his job in Bangkok
A. He found it hard to make a good living.
B. He disliked its food and his coworkers.
C. He made a serious mistake at work.
D. He had to take care of his parents.
26. What can be learned about Pun Pun
A. It was set up 30 years ago.
B. It is located near Bangkok.
C. It is a multi-purpose complex.
D. It has two branches in Chiang Mai.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Pun Pun: a sustainable home
B. Thailand: a country worth exploring
C. Jon Jandai: a villager with diversity in mind
D. Jon Jandai: farmer, builder and man of leisure

(外刊原味23) 体裁:说明文 主题语境:自然科学研究 难度:★★★☆☆ @ Scientific American
Around 1745, Chinese emperor and poet Qianlong was sailing on the Yangtze River when he encountered a breathtaking sight: a group of what we now call Yangtze finless porpoises emerged from the water’s surface. “Porpoises chased moonlight on silvered tides, as dragons summoned storm—clouds loom in sight,” he wrote in a poem.
Almost 300 years later, scientists combed ancient Chinese poems to map the historical range of this critically endangered species—the world’s only freshwater porpoise, with about 1,250 wild individuals. By tracking mentions across dynasties, they aimed to better understand threats to this species.
“Access to past data allows us to detect when declines began and correlate those changes with potential threats like habitat destruction, climate change, overhunting, or the introduction of invasive species,” says Zhang, an ecologist at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Zhang and her colleagues turned to ancient poems because official records rarely mentioned these animals. Using a database of Chinese literature, they searched historical names of the animal across dynastic poetry, manually checking each mention to ensure it referred to the porpoise and not other animals. They identified 724 poems mentioning the porpoises. Half contained geographic data.
This window into the past showed a 65% range loss over 1,400 years, accelerating in the past century. While poems from the distant past mentioned porpoises in tributaries and lakes along the Yangtze, in more recent poems, these references dramatically decreased. The researchers concluded the population has declined 91%.
“The study helps understand past species distributions and human-caused biodiversity losses,” says macroecologist Jens-Christian Svenning, who was not involved with the new research. For example, scientists reconstructed the former composition of animals in Greece using ancient epic poems. Though there can be challenges to this approach—and sometimes inaccuracies—there’s “much potential” to apply this method to other species and in other areas of the world.

Intersections are deadly places, where more than half of all car crashes occur. A study shows that solving part of this public health crisis could come down to a simple, surprising tool. It’s not a new traffic signal or a big structure: it’s a bucket of paint.
Art projects painted onto streets and intersections significantly improve safety, reducing the rate of crashes involving cars and pedestrians (行人) by up to 50% and all crashes by 17%, according to the study. These road art projects include multi-colored wall decorations and paint jobs on the streets, crosswalks, and asphalt (沥青) in and around busy intersections. Often bright and hard for drivers to miss, they tend to cause drivers to slow down, be more careful, and be more attentive to pedestrians.
The simple interventions have been adopted as part of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Asphalt Art Initiative, which has issued funds to 41 U.S. cities and three European cities. This study focused on some of these projects, and its findings provide data to suggest they can make intersections safer.
Sadik-Khan, a former commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation, started with a simple paint job on the street and some plastic traffic posts. The project had a positive effect on travel times, increased pedestrian activity, and even benefited businesses in the area. Now, such projects are being extended across the country with similar benefits. Some were completed for just a few thousand dollars. A few cost even hundreds.
They don’t automatically translate into safety improvements, though. The study found that asphalt art projects in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia, weren’t related to crash reductions, with crash rates increasing 41% and 28% respectively.
But Bloomberg Philanthropies plans to continue the work. They’ll give $25,000 to as many as 20 European cities to do their own road art projects. With decreased crashes reported in the study, Sadik-Khan is hoping other cities will see the benefit of doing these kinds of projects.
32.What do we know about road art projects
A. They need a great deal of money. B. They function permanently.
C. They raise concerns in drivers. D. They help drivers concentrate.
33.What does the underlined word “interventions” refer to in paragraph 3
A. Financial investment plans. B. Street painting projects.
C. Traffic control regulations. D. Wall decoration practices.
34.What can be inferred about the Asphalt Art Initiative’s future strategy
A. It will expand despite mixed outcomes.
B. It will replace traditional traffic methods.
C. It will focus on suburban intersections next.
D. It will prioritize European cities over U.S. cities.
35.What is the best title for the text
A. Bloomberg’s Initiative Transforms American Arts
B. Colorful Roads Boost Local Tourism in Major Cities
C. Innovative Traffic Signals Enhance Pedestrian Safety
D. Cost-Efficient Street Art Ensures Safer Urban Roads

Can you reach down and touch your toes without bending your knees Can you reach both arms overhead If these sound like a struggle, you may be lacking flexibility. 36 It helps you perform most sporting activities and may prevent muscle injuries. Improving flexibility is surprisingly easy, research says. Here’s “How”.
How long
We found holding a stretch for around four minutes in a single session is good for an immediate improvement in flexibility. Any longer, and you don’t appear to get any more improvement. For permanent improvements in flexibility, it looks like you need to stretch a muscle for longer—around ten minutes per week for the biggest improvement. 37
How hard
You can think of stretching as being hard, when you stretch into pain, or easy, when the stretch you feel isn’t uncomfortable. 38 Both hard and easy stretching equally improve flexibility.
How often
39 What is important is that you aim for up to ten minutes per week for each muscle that you stretch. So, for example, you could stretch each muscle for a little more than one minute a day, or five minutes twice a week. The amount of time you should spend stretching will finally depend on how many muscles you need to stretch.
On the whole, it doesn’t matter what muscle you stretch, how old you are, or whether you are a couch potato or an experienced athlete. 40 As you can see, it really isn’t too much of a stretch to become more flexible.
A. Everyone can improve their flexibility.
B. But this doesn’t need to occur all at once.
C. However, the best advice is to visit a qualified health professional.
D. Improving flexibility doesn’t depend on weekly stretch frequency.
E. Flexibility is the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion.
F. The good news is that how forcefully you carry out the stretching doesn’t seem to matter.
G. The frequency of stretching required to boost your flexibility is higher than what you expect.

There’s an autumn day that I recall whenever life feels overwhelming. I was a 41 then, caught up in schoolwork, social activities, and the pressure of 42 college applications.

Scroll through Instagram for long enough and you’ll likely find someone scraping, brushing or massaging their skin in pursuit of 56 (good) health or an enhanced appearance.
Gua sha, in which you scrape a stone or metal tool along the contours (轮廓) of your face; body scraping, which is a full-body version of gua sha that 57 (use) similar tools; and jade rolling, in which you roll a rounded stone tool over your face, are techniques 58 (intend) to physically push, or drain, lymphatic (淋巴的) fluid toward the lymph nodes (结节), where it is filtered and then moved back into the bloodstream.
59 (reference) to lymph in traditional Chinese medicine go back 2,000 years, said Yumi Ridsdale, a Chinese medicine practitioner in Ontario, Canada. “They of course didn’t use the words ‘lymphatic’ system; they didn’t have such 60 word”, but traditional Chinese medicine 61 (emphasize) the importance of lymph circulation.
Massaging your lymph can help restimulate 62 (it) flow and prevent a feeling of “bodily congestion (堵塞)”, said Dr. Mellisa Ventimiglia, an 63 (assist) professor of family medicine—especially after sleeping or 64 (sit) for long periods of time. You may also notice immediate changes to your skin and face—a reduction 65 puffiness (虚肿) or a more sculpted look—with gua sha, Ms. Ridsdale said, though these effects only last a few hours.

Sumi's daughter Anna had always been called "Number 23.”Every time the school released exam results,Anna would always end up in 23rd position among 50 pupils.Always 23,regardless of topic or term.Every time Sumi heard that nickname,it caused her concern.
When Sumi stayed with her friends,their discussion nearly always turned to their children.You know how it goes-one parent discusses their child's piano honors,another boasts about math olympiads or leadership responsibilities.While others were honoring these “great youngsters,”all Sumi could think about was Anna and her unpleasant nickname,Number 23.
Sumi had done everything to help Anna with school-hired professional tutors,bought fancy stationery,even packed brain food.And Anna tried.She gave up sketching,paper cutouts,and many others.She moved from one class to another,endlessly trying.But then the indicators started showing- she lost her appetite,couldn't sleep,and sweated all the time.Eventually,she got terribly sick.That was when Sumi gave in.She stopped pressing and Anna bounced back to being the cheery little child they knew.
One day,Sumi and her friends went on a weekend trip with their families.During lunch,two kids got into a heated quarrel over a single slice of dessert.No one could calm them down.Then Anna stepped in."Let's flip(抛 )a coin,"she said.Simple as that.Boom-problem solved.Everyone was astonished.
Later,on the journey back,they got delayed in traffic.The kids were getting restless.Anna She started delivering jokes like a big sister.Even the adults laughed.Then she took the leftover candy boxes and started changing them into animals-paper elephants,lions,and birds.Before everyone said goodbye, she presented one to each youngster as a gift.The other parents were shining with appreciation.For the first time in years,Sumi felt something well up in her chest-pride.
