B
I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a burning desire for superpowers. As a boy, I could clearly see some of my teachers had extraordinary powers.
There was an English teacher in fifth grade who could magically transport us to different worlds every day by telling us stories and reading to us from books we would otherwise never pick up. This was our secret and fun time because fifth graders were considered too old to have stories read out to them.
It was even shocking that my teacher could see the invisible. I was one of those who lacked insight. Yet my teacher would notice me and the unspoken message in her eyes suggested that she could see me through. She had another superpower and even after four decades, I could still vividly remember her lessons about the great masters of art and great geographers, expanding our horizons. She did this even though her major was not art, nor geography. Her lessons went beyond the textbook. 1 knew 1 wanted to be one of those all-seeing ones with superpowers that made children feel safe and valued.
I know being a teacher isn't the easiest or the most financially rewarding of jobs. And there are occupational risks- your knees can become worn out from years of carrying piles of notebooks up and down the school staircase, your voice can give in from too much talking. But despite all that, there are those choosing this cause. To them, teaching is not just a job-it is a science, an art and a craft, and it demands emotional labour and investment.
All my life for three decades now, I've gone to work early each day with a spring in my step. Occasionally, I meet my former students. Their obvious love for me and fond memories of our
time together are my rewards. When I meet others who thirst for superpowers, like the brand new teacher struggling to perfect her skills with a brave face on, or the one in a remote, rural school travelling 70 kilometers each day just for his pupils, I feel proud to belong to the same group.
4. What can be inferred about the stories from paragraph 2?
A. They were told in a magic way.
B. They were written by the teacher.
C. They contained some students' fun secrets.
D. They left the students with happy memories.
5. Which of the following best describes the English teacher?
A. Well-informed and observant.
B. Hard-working and courageous.
C. Ambitious and aggressive.
D. Caring and demanding,
6. What do we know about the author as a teacher?
A. He suffered a lot in his knees and voice.
B. He thought teaching was more than spreading knowledge.
C. He had some ideas of how to be a teacher at a young age.
D. He was rewarded with much money for his devotion at school.
7. What can be concluded about being a teacher from the text?
A. Learning without a teacher is hard to gain.
B. In scholarship there is no difference of age.
C. Teachers lead the door, progress in the individual.
D. With one thousand times for the peach garden sweet.
『答案』4. D 5. A 6. B 7. D

There are many therapies (疗法) for depression, including medical treatment, psychotherapy and talk therapy. Having a range of treatment choices is a good idea because no single treatment works equally well for each of millions of sufferers. Choosing the most suitable treatment is important to them. Now researchers say a new therapy proven to relieve depression should be added to the established treatments. It's called nature therapy. "Interacting with nature can have positive effects on those with depression," says Ethan Kross, PhD, an expert who has studied the nature depression link.
A little exposure to nature helps all of us get our energy back, and it may have special benefit for those who are depressed. It seems that, from our work, the restorative effect of nature seems to be stronger for individuals with depression," says Marc Berman, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. That might be because they feel mentally exhausted, and being in nature energizes them. However, Dr. Berman has a strong warning. “We're not arguing that interacting with nature should replace clinically proven treatments for depression," he says, “Nor should those with clinical depression try to treat themselves.”
However, Berman and others say, interactions with nature could serve as a very effective supplementary treatment. Compared to adults with depression walking for 50 minutes in an urban setting, those who took a 50 minute’s walk in a natural setting were less depressed and had better memory skills.
Why does nature hold this special effect? Berman says, “In a natural environment, we can choose to think or not, and this choice is believed to help us rest our brains. You can then pay attention later, when you need to.” He adds, “It gives people more ability to concentrate, which is a big problem for those with depression. ” Nature provides an effective setting for resting our brains, unlike urban setting. Even in the most peaceful urban environment, you have to pay attention to such things as traffic and stoplights.
8. What can we learn about depression therapies from paragraph 1?
A. They focus on physical activity.
B. They pay no attention to interactions.
C. They mainly depend on natural environment.
D. They need to be tailored to different patients.
9. How does nature benefit patients with depression?
A. By making them feel energetic.
B. By reminding them to rest in time.
C. By taking the place of clinic treatment.
D. By covering up their mental problems.
10. What does the underlined word “supplementary" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Additional.
B. Traditional.
C. Controversial.
D. Essential.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. An urban setting of restoring energy.
B. The positive role of nature in treating depression.
C. The popularity of using multiple ways to treat diseases.
D. An effective replacement of clinical therapy for depression.
『答案』8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B

『8题详解』
细节理解题。

根据第一段“Having a range of treatment choices is a good idea because no single treatment works equally well for each of millions of sufferers. Choosing the most suitable treatment is important to them.”（有一系列的治疗选择是一个好主意，因为没有一种单一的治疗方法对数百万患者都同样有效。

选择最合适的治疗方法对他们来说很重要。

）可知，对于抑郁症的治疗方法需要为不同的病人量身定制。

故选D项。

『9题详解』
细节理解题。

根据第二段“A little exposure to nature helps all of us get our energy back, and it may have special benefit for those who are depressed.”（接触一下大自然有助于我们恢复精力，对那些抑郁的人可能有特别的好处。

）可知，自然通过让他们感到精力充沛来帮助抑郁症患者。

故选A项。

『10题详解』
词义猜测题。

根据倒数第二段伯曼博士的警告“We're not arguing that interacting with nature should replace clinically proven treatments for depression,” he says, “Nor should those with clinical depression try to treat themselves.”（他说：“我们并不是说与自然互动应该取代临床证明的治疗抑郁症的方法，临床抑郁症患者也不应该尝试自我治疗。

”）以及第三段开头的However可知，与自然的互动可以作为一种非常有效的辅助治疗。

所以supplementary指的是额外的辅助的意思。

故选A项。

『11题详解』
主旨大意题。

根据第一段“"Interacting with nature can have positive effects on those with depression," says Ethan Kross, PhD, an expert who has studied the nature depression link.”（“与自然互动对抑郁症患者有积极的影响，”Ethan Kross博士说，他是一位研究自然抑郁症联系的专家。

）及全文可知，本文主要讲述的是自然在治疗抑郁症中的积极作用。

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) included on December 17, 2020 China's Tai Chi on the Representative List of the Intangible（无形的）Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The decision was announced during the online meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held from December 14 to 19 in Kingston, capital of Jamaica.
“Born in the mid-17th century in a small village named Chenjiagou located in Central China's Henan province, Tai Chi is not only a kind of traditional Wushu integrated with slow movements and deep breathing, but is also deeply rooted in many areas of Chinese culture, such as medicine and philosophy, ” Zhu Xianghua says, who is the son of the famous Tai Chi master Zhu Tiancai.
Although it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people to practice, the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient Wushu. They think of it as a slow exercise, which is specially made and better suited for their grandparents. Instead, many young people are turning to the Indian practice of yoga（瑜伽）to relieve stress, which was placed on the UNESCO's List in 2019.
In order to promote Tai Chi, joint efforts have been made from individuals and the Chinese government in the last decades. Xi'an Jiaotong University requires students to learn Tai Chi. Wang Yunbing, a professor in the university's sports center, stressed that Tai Chi is not only good physical exercise-researchers from the American College of Rheumatology find that it can help manage several diseases but is also conned ted to ancient Chinese civilization. Since 2014, the World Tai Chi Championships have been held every two years by the International Wushu Federation. It provides a platform for communication and learning between the Tai Chi masters and Tai Chi lovers around the globe. In January 2020, Tai Chi became an official event in the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games.
12. What does Zhu Xianghua say about Tai Chi in paragraph 2?
A. It originated from fast Kung Fu action.
B. It was born around the 1750s in a village.
C. It is related to other cultural fields of China.
D. It integrates Chinese medicine and western philosophy.
13. Why do some young people choose to practice yoga instead of Tai Chi?
A. They think it easier to practice yoga to keep fit.
B. The elderly stop young people practicing Tai Chi.
C. They consider Tai Chi is custom-built for old people.
D. Yoga was included in the world culture earlier than Tai Chi.
14. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To promote contemporary Chinese civilization.
B. To show many efforts made to popularize Tai Chi.
C. To stress the importance of Chinese Tai Chi masters.
D. To advise people to practise Tai Chi to cure diseases.
