A new study led by researchers at the University f Califrnia, Riverside, has fund expsure t third-hand smke (THS) causes skin diseases.
The study — the first t lk at humans expsed t THS — invlved 10 healthy nn-smkers wearing clthing with either filtered (过滤的) air r THS chemicals. The investigatin lasted three hurs, during which participants wuld either walk r run fr 15 minutes per hur — this wuld make them sweat and increase the levels f THS ptentially taken in thrugh the skin. Bld samples were cllected, which were measured t see whether THS may have caused cell r tissue damage.
“We fund THS expsure caused damage t DNA, lipids (脂质), and prteins, and the damage remained even after the expsure stpped,” said Shane Sakamaki-Ching, a dctr f bilgy and the first authr f the study. “Cigarette smkers shw the same result.” The study shwed expsure t THS increases signals related with skin diseases, which makes sense: the rgan mst likely t cme int cntact with THS is yur skin, and s it receives the biggest expsure t the harmful chemicals. “Hwever, what’s even mre wrrying is the tendency t lead t cancer,” added Sakamaki-Ching.
“If yu buy a used car previusly wned by a smker, yu are putting yurself at sme health risk,” said Prue Talbt, a prfessr f cell bilgy at UC Riverside and the crrespnding authr f the study. “If yu g t a restaurant that allws smking, yu are expsing yur skin t THS. The same applies t staying in a htel rm that was previusly ccupied by a smker.”
All that came frm just three hurs’ investigatin. And if yu think e-cigarette smkers are being frgtten, fear nt: the team’s next prject is t take a lk at which remains are left by these less-deadly death sticks.
Sakamaki-Ching said, “Our findings can help physicians in checking patients expsed t THS and help develp plicies imprving indr envirnments plluted by THS.”
8. Why were the participants in the study asked t take exercise?
A. T keep themselves energetic.B. T speed up bld prductin.
C. T d away with THS by sweating.D. T have their skin absrb mre THS.
9. What can we learn frm paragraph 3?

B. Cigarette smkers suffer mre frm THS.
C. The tendency t lead t cancer wrries smkers.
D. The damage caused by THS remains until the expsure stps.

Tree-planting, intended t help draw dwn carbn dixide frm the atmsphere, has becme a synnym (同义词) fr climate actin. In ur cnstant fcus n trees, we’ve develped a fixed understanding: Trees absrb carbn dixide, end f stry. The reality is that trees dn’t grw well alne. They exist within cmplex cmmunities, helped alng by each ther as well as the animals they cexist with. The wdland isn’t nature’s nly carbn sink: Grasslands and ceans als help reduce the carbn level and rely n a healthy amunt f bidiversity.
That’s what the paper, published in Nature, wants t get acrss. C-authr Oswald J. Schmitz, a prfessr f eclgy at Yale University, said trees might nt be able t d their carbn-uptake jb efficiently withut the right animals in their ecsystem. That’s because animals animate the carbn cycle thrugh their behavir and rles in the ecsystem. He added that the very presence f wild animals culd cause feedback effects that change the ecsystem’s capacity t absrb, release, r transprt carbn.
In Serengeti, fr instance, the sharp decline in wildebeest (角马) ppulatins during the mid-20th century allwed grass t grw wildly, eventually prmting wildfires that cnsumed 80 percent f the ecsystem annually and led t a net release f carbn dixide int the atmsphere. When disease management and bans n illegal hunting helped animal ppulatins recver, a greater share f the carbn stred in plants was cnsumed by wildebeest and released as waste, keeping it in the system and restring the grassland as a carbn sink.
Researchers rarely cnsider wildlife cnservatin as a strategy t increase an ecsystem’s carbn strage capacity, said Schmitz. “They think that animals either aren’t imprtant enugh r that yu can’t take up carbn and cnserve animals at the same time,” he said. “Our message is that yu can and shuld. It can be a win-win fr bth bidiversity cnservatin and carbn uptake.” We need a full picture - with bth trees and animals - t explre nature’s full ptential.
12. What can we learn frm the first paragraph?
A. Actins are needed t reduce carbn dixide.
B. Trees are a quick slutin t the climate crisis.
C. Grasslands and ceans help maintain bidiversity.
D. Peple are nt thinking thrugh trees prperly.
13. What des the underlined wrd “animate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Restart.B. Activate.C. Disturb.D. Break.
14. What des the authr want t say by mentining wildebeest?
A. Animals can change the ecsystem’s capacity t stre carbn.
B. The cnservatin f animals is still a serius issue.
C. Human impacts bring abut the reductin in wildlife ppulatins.
D. The increase in animal species causes a decrease in carbn uptake.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Animals Adjust Themselves t Climate Change
B. Wdland Isn’t the Only Carbn Sink n the Earth
C. Trees May Fail t Fulfil Their Duties withut Animals
D. The Serengeti Ecsystem Needs Urgent Imprvement

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。
The musical instrument I first learned was the vilin, which was as small as a kid’s ty, when I was six years ld. After six years f being a vilin learner, I decided t take n a new challenge: the cell (大提琴). My mm fund an experienced cell teacher, Ms. Kim, wh agreed t teach me in her cell studi.
At first, the pieces I played n the cell were simple and uninspiring. Hwever, everything changed when Ms. Kim ffered me a challenging piece named “Capricci”. My dad, wh was excited abut the music that I wuld play, believed mastering this piece was as impssible as a tiger flying in the sky. My mm lked up “Capricci” n YuTube, her eyes widening as she watched a musician perfrm it with grace and intensity, realizing hw difficult the piece truly was. I felt a mix f excitement and anxiety.
“Capricci” requires many techniques, and learning them was ften frustrating. One particularly tugh challenge was pressing several ntes with my thumb, which caused me tears as I struggled with the pain. My fingers felt awkward, and I wrried I wuld never get it right. One day, after a particularly tiring practice sessin, Ms. Kim suggested I fcus mre n the dynamics f the piece. I misinterpreted her advice, thinking she was frustrated with my slw prgress. This dubt made me questin my ability and Ms. Kim’s belief in me, fueling my frustratin with the cell.
After a challenging practice ne afternn, feeling defeated, I finally pened up t Ms. Kim abut my feelings. I shared my struggles and fears, expecting her t scld me fr my lack f prgress. T my surprise, she smiled gently, saying, “Sadie, I nly push yu because I see yur ptential!” Ms. Kim adapted her teaching style, fcusing n my strengths while gently guiding me thrugh my weaknesses. And her encuragement regenerated my mtivatin: I began t apprach “Capricci” with renewed enthusiasm.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I tried my best t practice playing the cell with the help f Ms. Kim.
