The best releases out Sept. 30
By Stephen Thompson, Keanna Faircloth, Bob Boilen, Tarik Moody
It’s been five years since Bj rk last released an album, but now the Icelandic icon (偶像) is back with a deeply inventive set called Fossora. Every sound on the record feels as if it’s springing into the mix from a different direction, as her energetic voice shares space with everything from bass clarinets (低音单簧管) to the voices of Bj rk’s own creation. Fossora was inspired, at least in part, by the death of the singer’s mother, but joy also exists.

Chen Xingrong, 16, was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) when he was a baby. After being diagnosed with autism, his father, Chen Xunhu, quit his job and devoted his full attention to the topic of autism. In 2012, Chen Xunhu learned that swimming could help autistic people improve their important ability and articulation (发音), so he spent months learning how to swim by watching videos and reading books. He spent several months teaching his son and discovered that his son had gradually developed the ability to control his breath under water, which significantly increased his confidence.
The father laid the groundwork for his son’s swimming lessons. Two hand rings and a swing are installed (安装) from the ceiling by the father to help Chen Xingrong strengthen his muscles and learn swimming movements more precisely. On one wall of their home hangs a table for Chen Xingrong’s routine exercises. “I used to plan all his exercises for him, but now it is all up to him. He decides how many exercises he wants to do, and it’s a process of self-management,” said Chen Xunhu.
In spite of all the hardships in life, Chen Xingrong managed to become an outstanding swimmer. In 2021, he won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the eighth National Special Olympic Games.
As well as swimming, learning basic life skills is also an important part of life for a teenager with autism. Thanks to his father’s perseverance (毅力), Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food and has held voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants. Meanwhile, Chen Xunhu wants the public to know more about autistic people so as to reduce misunderstanding. He organized about 500 people to watch the autism-themed film, titled Ocean Heaven, which describes how a terminally (末期的) ill father attempts to teach his son the necessary life skills to live without him.
Chen Xunhu has made great efforts to make the public understand autism better and hopes all autistic people will live a wonderful life in the future.
4. Why did the father try to teach his son to swim
A. To help treat his son’s illness. B. To build his son’s confidence.
C. To bring out his son’s potential. D. To encourage his son to start a hobby.
5. What do we know about Chen Xingrong
A. He preferred to swim at home.
B. He kept to a tight training routine.
C. He has got great rewards for his efforts.
D. He had difficulty in strengthening his muscles.
6. How did the father help people understand autism (自闭症) better
A. By organizing people to watch an autism-themed film.
B. By leading them to do voluntary work for autistic teenagers.
C. By showing the daily lives of children with autism in pictures.
D. By sharing his experience in teaching autistic children life skills.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Chen Xunhu

People were already known to consume microplastics via food and water as well as breathing them in. In a new study, scientists analyzed blood samples from 22 healthy donators and found microplastics in 17. Half the samples contained PET plastic, which is commonly used in drinks bottles, while a third contained polystyrene, which is used for packaging food and other products. A quarter of the blood samples containcd polyethylene, from which plastic carrier bags are made.
“Previous work had shown that microplastics were 10 times higher in the faeces (粪便) of babies compared with adults and that babies fed with plastic bottles are swallowing millions of microplastic particles (微粒) a day. We also know in general that babies are more sensitive to chemical and particle exposure,” said Prof Dick Vethaak, a scientist at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.“That worries me a lot.”
The new research adapted existing techniques to detect and analyze particles as small as 0.0007mm. Some of the blood samples contained two or three types of plastic. The team used steel syr nge needles and glass tubes to avoid pollution and tested for background levels of microplastics using blank samples.
Vethaak acknowledged that the amount and type of plastic varied considerably between the blood samples.“But this is a pioneering study,”he said, with more work now necded. He said the differences might reflect short-term exposure before the blood samples were taken, such as drinking from a plastic-lined coffee cup or wearing a plastic face mask.
A recent study found that microplastics can attach to the outer membranes(膜) of red blood cells and may limit their ability to transport oxygen. The particles have also been found in the placentas of pregnant women.
“Arc the particles preserved in the body Are they transported to certain organs And are these levels sufficiently high to cause disease ” Vethaak said.“More detailed research on how microplastics affect the structures and processes of the human body, and whether and how they can transform cells and how they may cause cancer, is urgently needed. The problem is becoming more urgent each day,”Vethaak added.
8. What does the new study in Paragraph I show
A. Microplastic pollution is harmful to human health.
B. Microplastics have been detected in human blood.
C. Drinks bottles contain more microplastics than plastic carrier bags.
D. Food packag ng is the main source of microplastics in the human body.
9. What does the underlined word“That”in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The mass production of plastic bottles.
B. The impact of microplastics on babies.
C. The undeveloped digestive system of babies.
D. The increasing amount of chemicals in food.
10. What might cause microplastics to vary between blood samples
A. Diverse sampling time.
B. Pollution of blood samples.
C. Different physical conditions of donators.
D. Short-term exposure to plastics before sampling.
11. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Studies of Plastic Products.
B. The Expectation of Microplastics.
C. Pioneering Studies of Microplastic Particles.
D. Studies of Microplastics into Human Body.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. D

【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中that的上文“babies fed with plastic bottles are swallowing millions of microplastic particles (微粒) a day. We also know in general that babies are more sensitive to chemical and particle exposure (用塑料瓶喂养的婴儿每天吞食数以百万计的塑料微粒。我们也知道，一般来说，婴儿对化学物质和颗粒更敏感)”可知，that指代文提到的“微塑料对婴儿的影响”，即微塑料婴儿的影响让Prof Dick Vethaak担忧。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“He said the differences might reflect short-term exposure before the blood samples were taken, such as drinking from a plastic-lined coffee cup or wearing a plastic face mask. (他说，这些差异可能反映了在采集血液样本之前的短期接触，比如用塑料内衬的咖啡杯喝水或戴塑料口罩。)”可知，导致微塑料在血液样本之间的变化能是采样前短期接触塑料造成的。故选D
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a new study, scientists analyzed blood samples from 22 healthy donators and found microplastics in 17. Half the samples contained PET plastic, which is commonly used in drinks bottles, while a third contained polystyrene, which is used for packaging food and other products. A quarter of the blood samples containcd polyethylene, from which plastic carrier bags are made.(在一项新的研究中，科学家分析了22名健康献血者的血液样本，在17名中发现了微塑料。一半的样品含有PET塑料，这种塑料通常用于饮料瓶，而三分之一的样品含有聚苯乙烯，这种塑料用于包装食品和其他产品。四分之一的血液样本含有聚乙烯，塑料袋就是用这种材料制成的。)”可知，本段引出文章的主题，即微塑料进入人体的研究，接着文章详述了研究的过程和方向，故D选项符合题意。故选D。

Ant queens are famously long-lived, even though they shouldn’t be. Generally, animals that put lots of energy into reproduction sacrifice some time off their life. But ant queens produce millions of eggs and live an extraordinarily long time compared with worker ants that don’t reproduce.
Now, researchers have shown how one ant species pulls off this anti-aging technique. When queens and hopeful queens of the species Harpegnathos saltator speed up to reproduce, a part of what’s called the insulin (胰岛素) signaling pathway gets blocked, slowing aging, the researchers report in the Sept. 2 Science. That molecular pathway has long been connected with aging in mammals, including humans.
“There’s been a nced to understand why queens, or reproductives, in social insects can live for so amazingly long,” says Marc Tatar, a biologist at Brown University in Providence,R. L, who was not involved with the study. Some ant species have queens that survive 30 times as long as their workers.
In a rare behavior for ants, when a queen H. saltator dies, some female workers begin competing in fights for the chance to replace her. These hopeful royals develop ovaries (卵巢), start laying eggs and transition into queenlike forms called gamergates. When a worker transitions to a gamergate, her life span becomes five times as long as it was. But if she doesn’t end up becoming queen and returns to a worker, her life span shortens again.
The researchers exploited this behavior to investigate the molecular strengthening of anti-aging in these ants. H. saltator gamergates, it turns out, extend their life spans by taking advantage of a split in the insulin signaling pathway, the chain of chemical reactions that drive insulin’s effects on the body. One branch of this pathway is involved with reproduction, while the other is connected with aging.
12. What do you know from Paragraph 1
A. Ant queens live unexpectedly longer.
B. Worker ants live longer than other ants.
C. Female animals live longer than male ones.
D. Animals in reproduction live longer than others.
13. What’s the key to ant queens’ slowing age
A. They speed up to reproduce.
B. The molecular pathway contributes to it.
C. The insulin signaling pathway gets blocked.
D. They’ve invented advanced anti-aging techniqucs.
14. What will happen after an ant queen dies
A. The ant group will be dismissed.
B. A gamergate will finally replace it.
C. The hopeful royals will surely become queens.
D. The female workers use thcir own ovaries to lay eggs.
15. What’s the passage mainly about
A. The secret of anti-aging.
B. The life span of an ant queen.
C. The ant queen’s secret of long life.
D. The process of a gamergate to become a queen.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：近年来，中国的冰淇淋价格一直在上涨，被中国网民戏称为“冰淇淋杀手”，而现在，花式酸奶也可能“刺破”你的钱包。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，根据时间状语over recent years可知本句表达的是过去发生的动作对现在的影响，谓语动词使用现在完成时，故填has been。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：同上。分析句子结构，这是一个包含非限制性定语从句复合句，先行词为前面一整句话表示的内容，因空白处在定语从句中做主语指物，使用关系代词which引导定语从句，故填which。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：包装精致多彩的酸奶在中国的价格也飞涨，从4元到6元，到10元到20元左右。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语使用非谓语动词，因与其逻辑主语yogurt之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，使用过去分词，故填Wrapped。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：你最终会被“冰淇淋杀手”的价格“暗箭伤人”，因为尽管花费相当高，但它们似乎看起来和尝起来都一样。分析句子结构，the same为固定短语，含义为“一样”，符合句意，故填the。

【47题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意：这些因素导致了更高的价格。根据上文“Elements like “sugar-free”, “low fat” , “high protein” and “low carbon” are often seen on the packages of yogurt sold in China market.(在中国市场销售的酸奶包装上经常可以看到“无糖”、“低脂”、“高蛋白”和“低碳”等元素。)”可知，此处上下文说的是“无糖”、“低脂”、“高蛋白”和“低碳”等这些元素导致了更高的价格，空白处使用形容词的比较级，故填higher。
【48题详解】
考查时态。句意：例如，“和润”品牌的酸奶，号称“零脂肪、零糖、高蛋白”，每100克售价13.3元。分析句子结构，空白处在主句中作谓语，因句子表达的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，又因主语为单数第三人称，谓语动词使用单数第三人称形式，故填costs。
【49题详解】

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了天气变冷和学生行为变化的关系，强调了作为高三学生应该尽一切努力实现自己的梦想，克服困难，不辜负父母的期望。
【详解】1. 考查非谓语动词。句意：随着天气变得越来越冷，树叶逐渐从树上掉下来。这里为with的复合结构，非谓语动词担当宾语补足语，宾语“the weather”和动词“become”之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故将become改为becoming。
2. 考查形容词。句意：一切似乎都很懒散。担当表语，用形容词形式而不是副词。故将lazily改为lazy。
3. 考查谓语。句意：因此，我们中的一些学生倾向于晚睡。这里为本句谓语动词，本句谓语由短语“tend to”担当，时态为一般现在时。故将are去掉。
4. 考查时态。句意：有些人对学习失去了兴趣。这里为本句谓语动词，根据上下文可知，本句时态为一般现在时，主语为“some”和动词“lose”之间为主动关系。故将lost改为lose。

7. 考查代词。句意：为了不辜负我们父母的期望，我们应该尽我们所能去实现我们的梦想。根据句意可知，我们应该不辜负“我们”父母的期望，而不是“他们”父母的期望。故将their改为our。
8. 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了不辜负父母的期望，我们应该尽我们所能去实现我们的梦想。这里为非谓语动词担当目的状语，表示“为了……”，用动词不定式形式，构成do everything one can to do sth.。故在can后加to。
9. 考查名词。句意：让我们鼓起勇气克服困难。根据代词“our”可知，其后用名词形式。故将brave改为bravery。
10. 考查形容词。句意：我们相信，在我们的共同努力下，我们能够在最后的测试中取得成功。根据句意可知，本句意为“我们相信”，用形容词convinced。形容词convincing意为“令人信服的”，不符合句意。故将convincing改为convinced。

It’s been five years since Bj rk last released an album, but now the Icelandic icon (偶像) is back with a deeply inventive set called Fossora. Every sound on the record feels as if it’s springing into the mix from a different direction, as her energetic voice shares space with everything from bass clarinets (低音单簧管) to the voices of Bj rk’s own creation. Fossora was inspired, at least in part, by the death of the singer’s mother, but joy also exists.

Chen Xingrong, 16, was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) when he was a baby. After being diagnosed with autism, his father, Chen Xunhu, quit his job and devoted his full attention to the topic of autism. In 2012, Chen Xunhu learned that swimming could help autistic people improve their important ability and articulation (发音), so he spent months learning how to swim by watching videos and reading books. He spent several months teaching his son and discovered that his son had gradually developed the ability to control his breath under water, which significantly increased his confidence.
The father laid the groundwork for his son’s swimming lessons. Two hand rings and a swing are installed (安装) from the ceiling by the father to help Chen Xingrong strengthen his muscles and learn swimming movements more precisely. On one wall of their home hangs a table for Chen Xingrong’s routine exercises. “I used to plan all his exercises for him, but now it is all up to him. He decides how many exercises he wants to do, and it’s a process of self-management,” said Chen Xunhu.
In spite of all the hardships in life, Chen Xingrong managed to become an outstanding swimmer. In 2021, he won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the eighth National Special Olympic Games.
As well as swimming, learning basic life skills is also an important part of life for a teenager with autism. Thanks to his father’s perseverance (毅力), Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food and has held voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants. Meanwhile, Chen Xunhu wants the public to know more about autistic people so as to reduce misunderstanding. He organized about 500 people to watch the autism-themed film, titled Ocean Heaven, which describes how a terminally (末期的) ill father attempts to teach his son the necessary life skills to live without him.
Chen Xunhu has made great efforts to make the public understand autism better and hopes all autistic people will live a wonderful life in the future.
4. Why did the father try to teach his son to swim
A. To help treat his son’s illness. B. To build his son’s confidence.
C. To bring out his son’s potential. D. To encourage his son to start a hobby.
5. What do we know about Chen Xingrong
A. He preferred to swim at home.
B. He kept to a tight training routine.
C. He has got great rewards for his efforts.
D. He had difficulty in strengthening his muscles.
6. How did the father help people understand autism (自闭症) better
A. By organizing people to watch an autism-themed film.
B. By leading them to do voluntary work for autistic teenagers.
C. By showing the daily lives of children with autism in pictures.
D. By sharing his experience in teaching autistic children life skills.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Chen Xunhu
A. Creative and brave. B. Caring and determined.
C. Ambitious and demanding. D. Optimistic and humorous.

People were already known to consume microplastics via food and water as well as breathing them in. In a new study, scientists analyzed blood samples from 22 healthy donators and found microplastics in 17. Half the samples contained PET plastic, which is commonly used in drinks bottles, while a third contained polystyrene, which is used for packaging food and other products. A quarter of the blood samples containcd polyethylene, from which plastic carrier bags are made.
“Previous work had shown that microplastics were 10 times higher in the faeces (粪便) of babies compared with adults and that babies fed with plastic bottles are swallowing millions of microplastic particles (微粒) a day. We also know in general that babies are more sensitive to chemical and particle exposure,” said Prof Dick Vethaak, a scientist at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.“That worries me a lot.”
The new research adapted existing techniques to detect and analyze particles as small as 0.0007mm. Some of the blood samples contained two or three types of plastic. The team used steel syr nge needles and glass tubes to avoid pollution and tested for background levels of microplastics using blank samples.
Vethaak acknowledged that the amount and type of plastic varied considerably between the blood samples.“But this is a pioneering study,”he said, with more work now necded. He said the differences might reflect short-term exposure before the blood samples were taken, such as drinking from a plastic-lined coffee cup or wearing a plastic face mask.
A recent study found that microplastics can attach to the outer membranes(膜) of red blood cells and may limit their ability to transport oxygen. The particles have also been found in the placentas of pregnant women.
“Arc the particles preserved in the body Are they transported to certain organs And are these levels sufficiently high to cause disease ” Vethaak said.“More detailed research on how microplastics affect the structures and processes of the human body, and whether and how they can transform cells and how they may cause cancer, is urgently needed. The problem is becoming more urgent each day,”Vethaak added.
8. What does the new study in Paragraph I show
A. Microplastic pollution is harmful to human health.
B. Microplastics have been detected in human blood.
C. Drinks bottles contain more microplastics than plastic carrier bags.
D. Food packag ng is the main source of microplastics in the human body.
9. What does the underlined word“That”in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The mass production of plastic bottles.
B. The impact of microplastics on babies.
C. The undeveloped digestive system of babies.
D. The increasing amount of chemicals in food.
10. What might cause microplastics to vary between blood samples
A. Diverse sampling time.
B. Pollution of blood samples.
C. Different physical conditions of donators.
D. Short-term exposure to plastics before sampling.
11. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Studies of Plastic Products.
B. The Expectation of Microplastics.
C. Pioneering Studies of Microplastic Particles.
D Studies of Microplastics into Human Body.

Ant queens are famously long-lived, even though they shouldn’t be. Generally, animals that put lots of energy into reproduction sacrifice some time off their life. But ant queens produce millions of eggs and live an extraordinarily long time compared with worker ants that don’t reproduce.
Now, researchers have shown how one ant species pulls off this anti-aging technique. When queens and hopeful queens of the species Harpegnathos saltator speed up to reproduce, a part of what’s called the insulin (胰岛素) signaling pathway gets blocked, slowing aging, the researchers report in the Sept. 2 Science. That molecular pathway has long been connected with aging in mammals, including humans.
“There’s been a nced to understand why queens, or reproductives, in social insects can live for so amazingly long,” says Marc Tatar, a biologist at Brown University in Providence,R. L, who was not involved with the study. Some ant species have queens that survive 30 times as long as their workers.
In a rare behavior for ants, when a queen H. saltator dies, some female workers begin competing in fights for the chance to replace her. These hopeful royals develop ovaries (卵巢), start laying eggs and transition into queenlike forms called gamergates. When a worker transitions to a gamergate, her life span becomes five times as long as it was. But if she doesn’t end up becoming queen and returns to a worker, her life span shortens again.
The researchers exploited this behavior to investigate the molecular strengthening of anti-aging in these ants. H. saltator gamergates, it turns out, extend their life spans by taking advantage of a split in the insulin signaling pathway, the chain of chemical reactions that drive insulin’s effects on the body. One branch of this pathway is involved with reproduction, while the other is connected with aging.
12. What do you know from Paragraph 1
A. Ant queens live unexpectedly longer.
B. Worker ants live longer than other ants.
C. Female animals live longer than male ones.
D. Animals in reproduction live longer than others.
13 What’s the key to ant queens’ slowing age
A. They speed up to reproduce.
B The molecular pathway contributes to it.
C. The insulin signaling pathway gets blocked.
D. They’ve invented advanced anti-aging techniqucs.
14. What will happen after an ant queen dies
A. The ant group will be dismissed.
B. A gamergate will finally replace it.
C. The hopeful royals will surely become queens.
D. The female workers use thcir own ovaries to lay eggs.
15. What’s the passage mainly about
A. The secret of anti-aging.
B. The life span of an ant queen.
C. The ant queen’s secret of long life.
D. The process of a gamergate to become a queen.
