Luke Grenfell—Shaw had a rare form of cancer. It started as a pain in his shoulder and the tumour spread to his lungs, making it stage four. The Oxford graduate was teaching English in Siberia when he suffered a shoulder pain and saw the school nurse. It was her reaction to a lump on his back that sent him back home to Bristol. “I was 24 years old. I had done an ultramarathon,” Luke says. “48 hours later. I was back in hospital in the UK.” On 19 June, 2018, doctors told Luke that he had cancer.
“I had kind of worked out that it was cancer, but what kind of blew me away was the fact that it was stage four cancer,” says Luke. “That day, my life felt like it had disintegrated. My life had been fortable and conventional. I had worked hard and got rewards in terms of education, jobs, things like that. That was all taken away.” On the day of his diagnosis, Luke had one clear thought in his mind that he wanted to cycle around the world. It was something he had always hoped to do, but the cancer news made him realize that he couldn’t put it off.
“I realized that the future had to bee now,” Luke explains. He decided to cycle from Bristol to Beijing—more than 5,000 miles—on a tandem bike, because he wanted to bring people along to share the experience with him. Luke will not only be joined by family and friends for certain legs of his trip, but also by other young people who are living with cancer. “This trip is something I’m going to enjoy,” says Luke. “I’m going to be the richest and most fulfilling experience that I c an have.”

Lee hyunseok grew up in South Korea addicted to Japanese manga (漫画) series such as “Dragon Ball” and “Slam Dunk”. As soon as he could, he migrated to Tokyo to build a successful career as a manga artist and editor. Then in the early 2000s came “webtoons”, a South Korean cartoon innovation optimized for smartphones. Mr. Lee was at first unimpressed. pared with manga’s inventive graphic styles and profound plots, he found webtoons just the opposite.
Yet Japanese manga is being eclipsed by Korean webtoons. Last year the manga print market shrank by 2.3% to ¥265bn ($1.9bn). The size of the global webtoons market was meanwhile valued at $3.7bn. Manga is going digital slowly, in part because it is still designed for print, so awkward to read on smartphones. Seeing which way the wind was blowing, Mr. Lee abandoned manga for the webtoon industry in 2014.
Though webtoons such as “Itaewon Class” and “Solo Levelling” have bee popular among Japanese consumers, most Japanese publishers have stuck stubbornly to manga. “The Japanese industry is very conservative,” sighs Mr. Lee. The manga industry’s business model, in which stories are first published in weekly magazines and then in books, has hardly changed since the 1960s. Webtoons have grown so fast, in part because they can be read more easily. Other recent South Korean exports, such as the Netflix sensation “Squid Game” and BTS, a boy band, have taken the world by storm thanks to the same bination of innovation and smart marketing behind webtoons.
Some are concerne d about the future. Japan’s manga fans are, l ike all its population, aging. The average reader of the Weekly Shonen Magazine, a manga for children launched in 1989, is now over 30. “Manga could end up as old people’s culture,” warns Mr Lee. “Children these days are viewing through webtoons on their smartphones. Why not make something that suits their taste?”
28．What did Mr Lee think of “webtoons” in the early 2000s?
A．He considered it as inventive. B．He considered it as attractive.
C．He considered it as original. D．He considered it as shallow.
29．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “eclipsed”?
A．Ruined. B．Outweighed. C．Replaced. D．Copied. 30．What can we learn from Japanese manga?
A．Japanese manga can be read more easily.
B．Since the 1960s, the manga has grown so fast.
C．The manga industry is unwilling to transform.
D．“Squid Game” was adopted from Japanese manga.
31．What is Mr. Lee’s attitude towards manga’s future?
A．Worried. B．Aggressive. C．Confident. D．Annoyed.
D
The idea that the normal human body temperature is about 37℃ was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it’s bee so widely accepted that it serves as a touchstone for health—a diagnostic tool used by physicians and parents as a basic indicator of whether someone is sick or well. However, it turns out that this wellestablished fact isn’t, in fact, correct—or, to put it more accurately, human beings have been getting cooler over the years.
Recent studies have shown that temperature records of groups of people have tended to run low pared to the accepted norm (标准), so the Stanford team, led by Julie Parsonnet,MD, professor of medicine and of health research and policy, decided to do a more indepth study to pare modern measurements with historical records to try to identify body temperature trends and, perhaps, uncover the reason why this cooling is happening.
For their research, the Stanford team looked at three distinct data sets from two historical periods. After going through 677,423 temperature measurements, the team found that men born in the 21st century had an average body temperature of 0.6℃ lower than that of those born in the early 19th century while modern women showed an average decrease of 0.03℃ pared to those born in the 1890s.
As to why this is happening, the researchers say that the most likely mechanism is a reduction in the human metabolic rate (代谢率) due to environmental factors: One possibility is that improvements in public health over 200 years have reduced the incidence of inflammations (炎症),which promote metabolism. This bined with people living more fortable lives in more stable environments means that the body doesn’t have to work as hard to stay warm, so the average temperature falls.
”The environment that we’re living in has changed, including the temperature in our homes, our contact with microorganisms (微生物) and the food that we have access to. All these things mean that although we consider human beings as the same for all of human e volution, we’re not the same. We’re actually changing physiologically,” Parsonnet said.
32. What is Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich’s achievement?
A. He set up standards for human health services.
B. He predicted trends in human body temperature.
C. He first used body temperature as a health indicator.
D. He proposed the standard human body temperature.
33. What can we learn about the Stanford team’s study?
A. It shows women have a lower body temperature than men.
B. It proves human body temperature has dropped at a faster rate.
C. It pared historical and current human body temperature data.
D. It suggested updating the definition of the average body temperature.
34. Which of the following is thought to cause the decrease in human body temperature?
A. The improved living conditions.
B. The contact with other creatures.
C. The decline in physically demanding work.
D. The adaptation of humans to climate change.
35. Which one could be the best title for the text?
A. What exactly is normal human body temperature?
B. Why does human body temperature need measuring?
C. Human body temperature has decreased over the years
D. Human body temperature changes with the environment

Revenge bedtime procrastination (报复性睡眠拖延症) refers to the decision to delay sleep in response to stress or a lack of free time earlier in the day. The addition of the word “revenge”, by the Chinese, to the concept of bedtime procrastination became popular on social media. 36 Both language versions reflect frustration tied to long, stressful work hours that left little time for personal enjoyment.
People who engage in bedtime procrastination know and generally want to receive enough sleep. 37 This is known as an intentionbehavior gap.
Bedtime procrastination can cause sleep deprivation (缺乏). 38 Not getting enough sleep affects thinking, memory, and decisionmaking. Sleep deprivation also raises the risk of daytime sleepiness, which can harm productivity and academic achievement while increasing the risks of sleeping driving.
39 It causes difficulties in regulating emotions. It’s also been connected to mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety. It is also discovered that sleep deprivation worsens physical health, making people more easily to suffer from illnesses. Ongoing sleep loss consequences can build up over time. Therefore, it contributes to significant longterm health problems.
The best solution for bedtime procrastination is creating good sleep patterns and a good sleeping environment. 40 A ．But they fail to actually do so.
B ．The Chinese are noted for working long hours.
C ．A lack of sleep is tied to mental and physical health.
D ．But remember that it will take more than one night to truly get into good sleep habits.
E ．We struggle to stay productive during the day to make up for the loss.
F ．Without enough hours of sleep, the mind and body can’t properly recharge.
G ．The English term “revenge bedtime procrastination” appeared from a translation of this expression.

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 annual Halloween arrived, during which kids dressed in traditional clothes went to neighbors’ houses to ask for candy.
Allison lived in a small town. That day after dinner, Allison put on her dress her father had just bought for her. The dress was cheap and secondhand because her family was poor. But Allison still thanked her dad and said, “Everyone will love my dress!” Then, she left for neighbors’ houses to ask for candy.
On the way, she came across Anna and her friends and wanted to join them. “No! Look at y our dress! It’s ugly!” Anna said. Her friends also laughed. “Look at our dresses, especially mine! It’s new and beautiful,” Anna added. Her friends nodded, and in some way they were right. Anna’s dress was shiny and looked expensive. She always had the best clothes because her parents were rich.
Allison was shocked and sad. The kids not only disliked her dress but made fun of it. “You can’t e with us!” Anna stressed. “We would never hang out with you!” The other kids agreed and laughed. They all left to start collecting candy for the night while Allison was left alone, embarrassed in the middle of the street.
Anyway, she knew all the neighbors. She often helped around carrying their groceries and helping them with their gardens. People around there knew her. She didn’t need to hangout with Anna or her friends. “I’ll go just alone,” the little girl said to herself and started walking.
She as well as Anna and her friends walked in the same direction: towards their first neighbor Mrs Vaughan’s house. But Allison walked behind and kept her distance from them. And she stopped when Anna and her friends were near Mrs Vaughan’s house.
Just then, Mrs Vaughan looked out of her window. She noticed that Allison was being excluded by Anna and h er friends. She knew it was probably because of Allison’s poor dress. She immediately felt pity for Allison, who often helped her and other neighbors. She decided to give Allison much more candy as a reward and teach Anna and her friends a lesson.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Dear Chris,
I’m sorry to tell you that I’ve lost your electronic dictionary. Now I’m expressing my deepest apology for my carelessness.
Actually, I put the dictionary in my schoolbag after we met in McDonald’s yesterday. But to my sorrow, it was stolen on my way home. I tried to get it back but failed. How angry and guilty I felt!
I promise that I’ll tighten my belt these days to get you a pletely new one by the end of this month. Please forgive me and accept my sincere apology again.
Best wishes!
Yours, Li Hua 续写：When Anna and her friends knocked on her door, Mrs Vaughan opened it. The girls greeted her, showed off their beautiful clothes and asked for candy. Mrs Vaughan, who held a bag of sweets, asked them to wait for a moment. Then, she waved to Allison, calling out, “Dear, e here!” When Allison came, Mrs Vau ghan said, “Oh, how beautiful you are today!” Then, she gave Allison most of her candy although the girl declined. When Allison walked away, Mrs Vaughan divided the rest of the candy among Anna and her friends, who were a little angry and confused.
Anna lo oked up and said, “Our clothes are more beautiful! But you gave Allison more candy! Why?” Mrs Vaughan looked down calmly and explained that Allison was always friendly to neighbors. “She has great inner beauty. Inner beauty is more important. Why not be fr iends with her?” Mrs Vaughan added. Hearing that, Anna and her friends’ faces turned red and they realized they had done something wrong. They said goodbye to Mrs Vaughan, caught up with Allison, and sincerely invited Allison to join them. Allison nodded gladly and had new friends, who would no longer judge her by her clothes.
解析C:【导语】这是一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍了日本的漫画产业因为没能适应市场转型，正逐步萎缩的社会现象，看到风向，Lee hyunseok放弃了漫画，转而投身网络卡通行业去适应大众。

1．推理判断题。

根据第一段“Then in the early 2000s came “webtoons”, a South Korean cartoon innovation optimized for smartphones. Mr. Lee was at first unimpressed. pared with manga’s inventive graphic styles and profound plots, he found webtoons just the opposite.(然后在21世纪初出现了“网络漫画”，这是一种针对智能优化的韩国漫画创新。

Lee一开始并不在意。

与漫画富有创意的图形风格和深刻的情节相比，他发现网络漫画恰恰相反)”可推知，21世纪初的“网络漫画”不怎么富有创意的图形风格和深刻的情节，可得出Lee认为21世纪初的“网络漫画”很肤浅。

故选D。

2．词句猜测题。

根据划线词后文“Last year the manga print market shrank by 2.3% to ¥265bn ($1.9bn).(去年，日本漫画印刷市场萎缩2.3%，至2650亿日元（合19亿美元）)”可知，日本漫画印刷市场萎缩，说明韩国网络漫画胜过、超过了日本漫画。

故划线词意思是“胜过，超过（Outweighed）”。

故选B。

3．细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段“Though webtoons such as “Itaewon Class” and “Solo Levelling” have bee popular among Japanese consumers, most Japanese publishers have stuck stubbornly to manga. “The Japanese industry is very conservative,” sighs Mr. Lee. The manga industry’s business model, in which stories are first published in weekly magazines and then in books, has hardly changed since the 1960s.(虽然像《梨泰院阶级》和《单人关卡》这样的网络漫画在日本消费者中很受欢迎，但大多数日本出版商仍固执地坚持漫画。

“日本产业是非常保守的，”Lee叹息道。

漫画产业的商业模式，即故事先在周刊上发表，然后再出版成书，自20世纪60年代以来几乎没有改变)”可知，日本漫画产业固守以前的传统，说明日本漫画产业不愿转型。

故选C。

4．推理判断题。

根据最后一段“Some are concerned about the future. Japan’s manga fans are, like all its population, ageing. The average reader of the Weekly Shonen Magazine, a manga for children launched in 1989, is now over 30. “Manga could end up as old people’s culture,” warns Mr Lee. “Children these days are viewing through webtoons on their smartphones. Why not make something that suits their taste?(一些人担心未来。

日本的漫画迷和所有人口一样，都在老龄化。

1989年创刊的儿童漫画《少年周刊》的读者平均已超过30岁。

“漫画可能最终成为老年人的文化，”Lee警告说。

“现在的孩子们通过智能观看网络漫画。

为什么不做一些符合他们口味的东西呢？”)”可推知，再不转型日本漫画可能最终成为老年人的文化，可得出Lee对漫画的未来持担心态度。

故选A。

D:【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

研究发现，人类的平均标准体温在下降，传统意义上的37℃的标准体温已经不适用于所有人。

【32题详解】细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“The idea that the normal human body temperature is about 37℃ was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in 1851.(1851年，德国医生Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich首次提出了正常人体温度约为37℃的观点。

)”和第二段中的“Recent studies have shown that temperature records of groups of people have tended to run low pared to the accepted norm(最近的研究表明，与公认的标准相比，人群的体温记录往往较低)”可知，Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich提出人类标准体温大约是37℃。

故选D项。

【33题详解】细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“Recent studies have shown that temperature records of groups of people have tended to run low pared to the accepted norm(标准), so the Stanford team, led by Julie Parsonnet,MD, professor of medicine and of health research and policy, decided to do a more indepth study to pare modern measurements with historical records to try to identify body temperature trends and, perhaps, uncover the reason why this cooling is happening.(最近的研究表明，与公认的标准相比，人群的体温记录往往较低，因此，由医学、健康研究与政策教授Julie Par sonnet医学博士领导的斯坦福大学团队决定进行一项更深入的研究，将现代测量值与历史记录进行比较，试图确定体温趋势，揭示这种冷却现象发生的原因。

)”及第三段关于两个不同历史时期体温的对比可知，该研究团队对比研究了历史和当前的人体体温数据。

故选C项。

【34题详解】推理判断题。

根据第四段中的“One possibility is that improvements in public health over 200 years have reduced the incidence of inflammations(炎症),which promote metabolism. This bined with people living more fortable lives in more stable environments means that the body doesn’t have to work as hard to stay warm, so the average temperature falls.(一种可能性是，200多年来公共卫生的改善降低了炎症的发生率，炎症可以促进新陈代谢。

这与人们在更稳定的环境中过着更舒适的生活相结合，意味着身体不必为了保暖而努力工作，因此平均温度会下降。

)”可推知，生活条件的改善使人类的标准体温降低。

故选A项。

【35题详解】主旨大意题。

由第一段“The idea that the normal human body temperature is about 37℃was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it’s bee so widely accepted that it serves as a touchstone for health—a diagnostic tool used by physicians and parents as a basic indicator of whether someone is sick or well.
