Lately, I have been stressed out a lot over tests and homework. What do you suggest I do? —Middle SchoolerDear Middle Schooler,These feelings are pretty normal for kids of your age. Maybe you are worried that the material is too hard for you. Or maybe you want to nail everything perfectly so that you feel paralyzed.You should try to replace a negative thought with a positive one. I think it also helps to break down the big tasks into smaller ones. Make a list and cross off each item when you've completed it. You'll feel a sense of accomplishment with each completed task.Your folks and your parents might also experience these feelings, and they can share their tricks and tips with you. —AmyDear Amy,Every year we get together with my brother, his wife and their two adult daughters for Thanksgiving and Christmas.A couple years ago, I suggested discontinuing our practice of exchanging gifts. But they don't want to stop the gift exchange. This past summer I retired and I'm not in need of anything. The girls are in their 20s and on their own.We are not close, so it has become increasingly difficult to find suitable gifts. I am hopeful you can help me find a way that they will be able to understand and appreciate my point of view. —WonderingDear Wondering,If you still feel pressured, you can ease off of the material gift exchange concept by giving them each a card telling them so during the annual gift card swap. If they give you gifts, your only responsibility is to accept them graciously and thank them sincerely. —AmyCopyright 2018 by Amy DickinsonDistributed by Tribune Content Agency（1）How many kinds of ways can Middle-Schooler adopt to deal with the stress according to Amy's suggestion?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.（2）What can we learn about Amy?A.Amy is a teacher who helps students to deal with stress.B.Amy is a person who helps people to deal with stress.C.Amy is an editor who helps people to deal with stress.D.Amy is an editor who helps students to deal with stress.（3）What should Wondering do according to the passage?A.Wondering should find suitable gifts for his brother and so on.B.Wondering should refuse gifts given by his relatives.C.Wondering should exchange gifts with his relatives.D.Wondering can explain his thought in a card sent to his relatives.5.Last Monday, I decided to go into a superstore to prepare a picnic. It was a huge one, spread onto 2 stories. After 45 minutes of shopping to just get some tomatoes, cheese and 3 toothpicks—yes, the ratio time/articles is ridiculous—I arrived to the cashier line, thoughtful and a bit frustrated by the time I spent to get 3 articles. I wondered why I did not go to a small local store.After 15 minutes of waiting in the line, the woman in front of me called me, "Hey... you only have 3 articles? Pass before me. I have more articles than you!" It wasn't the first time it had happened to me. She did not wear any mask, so I could see her smile. Not knowing what else to do, I accepted her offering. We chatted a bit waiting for the customers ahead of us to finish—she was incredibly pleasant. Then I thanked her, giving her back my brightest smile（although I was wearing a mask...）.Getting back in my car, I rethought about that good moment, and realized that she made my day. In the meantime, I wondered how to give it back to her. No doubt it was quite impossible, so I considered how to pay-it-forward to someone else. While driving, I realized that she saved me 10 minutes. And while I was driving at 70mph, I reduced my speed to 55mph. My fuel consumption（消耗）strongly dropped down by 35%.Admittedly, I re-lost part of the 10 minutes that the woman offered me, but it was a way to repay her and do a small thing for the environment.（1）Which can best describes the author's shopping experience based on Paragraph 1?A.Tiring.B.Challenging.C.Interesting.D.Annoying.（2）What can we learn about the woman?A.She bought 5 articles.B.She knew the store well.C.She wanted to buy a mask.D.She saved the author's time.（3）Why did the author slow down?A.To kill time.B.To get home safely.C.To repay the kindness.D.To make way for others.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.The Good Moment I GainB.A Special Superstore I VisitC.A Delighted Talk with StrangersD.Ways of Protecting the Environment6. Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin ﹣offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non﹣stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by﹣products（副产品）of technological developments in the space industry.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While spacemay hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.（1）Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1？________A. To express his doubts.B. To compare different ideas.C. To describe the conditions on Earth.D. To introduce points for discussion.．（2）What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2？________A. Humans have the tendency to fight.B. Humans are nature﹣born to do so.C. Humans may find new sources of food.D. Humans don't like to stay in the same place.．（3）What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets？________A. The adaptive ability of humans.B. Resources on the earth.C. Our genetic makeup.D. By﹣products in space exploration.．（4）Which of the statements can best sum up the passage？________A. Space exploration has created many wonders.B. Space exploration provided the best value for money.C. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.D. Space exploration may benefit science and technology.．7.In 1910, Northern China was the scene of an outbreak of plague（瘟疫）. Many medical workers were also sick or died from the disease. Dr Wu Lien-tch, who had lived in China since 1908, was sent to the area and proved important in helping to stop the disease and prepare the way for Western-style public health medicine in China.He is praised for asking the local government to burn the big number of dead bodies. Both measures had never been seen in China. He was also praised by different organizations for setting up sanitary（卫生）services to prevent a repeat of the disaster.Wu chaired the first international scientific meeting held in China, making Chinese scientists members of the international scientific community.

By 1937, Wu returned to his birth place Malaya as it was then known, to practice medicine, in the northern town of Ipoh, where he treated the poor for free.Born in 1879 on Penang Island, Wu showed considerable talent（才能）at a young age. He went to Penang Free School, one of Malaya's earliest schools, and won a chance to go to Emmanuel College at Cambridge University where he behaved very well, winning several prizes in the process.Wu gave generously to organizations of learning, giving away money, books and works of art he collected while in China. He also had a sense of the importance of his own work, setting down his life's work in an autobiography（自传）named Plague Fighter: The Autobiography of a Modern Chinese Physician, which came out in 1859. Wu died a year later in Penang at the age of 81.（1）What drove Dr Wu to go to Northern China in 1910?A.His hope to build Western-style hospitals.B.A serious plague that broke out there.C.A shortage of medical workers there.D.His wish to get medical knowledge.（2）What do we know about Dr Wu's measures in Northern China?A.They were useful and pioneering.B.They failed to control the situation.C.They were co-developed by several organization.D.They were not supported by the local government.（3）What did Dr Wu do after he went to Malaya?A.He went back to school and finished his study.B.He set up an international scientific community.C.He provided medical treatment for the poor for free.D.He chaired an international meeting for the first time.（4）Which of the following can best describe Dr Wu according to the text?A.Honest and warm-hearted.B.Polite and hard-working.C.Patient and cheerful.D.Skilled and helpful.四、书面表达（本题共计 1 小题，共计15分）8. （15分）假设你是某中学高一学生李华，写邮件给你的英国笔友John介绍你的寒假生活，要点包括：1. 寒假时长；2. 主要活动（如学习、运动等至少两个方面）；3. 希望了解对方的寒假生活及新学期的计划。

He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy. If, however, they didn’t ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.In the videos of the experiments, he can see the children hiding their eyes, trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies. The results are different. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes.The children who waited longer went on to get higher academic scores. They got into better colleges and had better adult success. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations (评价) 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, and how to become rich. But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask “How do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success?” This is to enter the world of human nature.So these experiments, along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important. Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed and painful experience. No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.1．The scientist did some experiments to ________.A．find good ways of training children to learnB．show that children’s education is importantC．test children’s self-control and later successD．test children’s intelligence of ringing the bell2．What do the underlined words “broke down” probably mean?A．failed to wait.B．kept waiting.C．hid the candy.D．ate the candy.3．How long did the scientist’s experiments last according to the text?A．Just 15 minutes.B．Within 10 years.C．Less than 14 years.D．About 28 years.4．What will the children without self-control do at school according to the text? A．They will improve their education.B．They will suffer a lot from boring lessons.C．They will become very rich and successful.D．They will work hard to catch up with others.4.（10分）DWith schools close in the UK during the COVID-19 outbreak, most children must now be homeschooled. Parents have found themselves not only having to balance work and having the children at home but also having to try and teach them. How can you keep your children focused while learning?Nicola Anderson--Head of Customer Support at the UK’s leading online tutoring service MyTutor, provides new, up-to-date tips to hearten parents at this difficult time and advises how they can structure their children’s days.One is to keep to a regular timetable so it still feels like your child is taking part in the school day. Ms Anderson said: “Children of all ages do well on routine and boundaries; schools provide this in abundance and most children will feel secure and happy if they can follow a similar timetable for their homeschooling.”Another tip is to create an environment which is favorable to learning. She said:” The environment should be free from distractions and ideally near to an open window, to provide them with appropriate levels of fresh air and natural light. Some children find it comfortable and helpful to have quiet, instrumental music playing in the background to help them to focus, but this isn’t for everyone.”Using technology to help with your child’s learning is also advised. Many schools are offering online classes and resources to help and companies are reducing or even not charging their fees during this time.It is also important to keep physical exercise as a part of your routine.

We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself.

Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row. So the government has set aside more than $ 80 million this year, managing to augment tree coverage to more than 10%.“It is a moment for Kenyans to stand together in the defense of our environment,” said Soipan Tuya, the Environment Minister. He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.He added, “H aving been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing ratherwell, but the government’s plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 was ‘an unprecedented(史无前例的)show of promise by the government towards our climate action duties.’”8．What is the purpose of the public holiday?A．To increase economic income. B．To encourage people to plant trees.C．To allow people to get more rest. D．To remind people to get close to nature. 9．Which word is the closest in meaning to “augment” in paragraph 3?A．Increase.

B．No contribution is too small to leave animpact.C．Each animal is important to nature. D．It is time to protect hummingbirds. 11．What is the best title for the text?A．Kenya Is Taking Action to Protect WildlifeB．Kenya Is in Face of Environmental ProblemsC．Kenya Improves Relationships with Their NeighborsD．Kenya Surprises the Public with a Holiday to Plant TreesDAre you a fan of birds? If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than that?A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird. A total of 1,292 people living in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States participated in the study which was conducted between April 2018 and October 2021.The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear a bird followed by a series of questions on their mental well-being. Participants were also asked questions about whether they could see trees, plants or hear any water to see if people were experiencing better mental well-being due to being in or seeing nature, and not just because of exposure to birds.According to the study, the mental well-being of study participants with and without depression was significantly improved after seeing a bird or hearing birdsong compared to not seeing or hearing a bird.There is a growing number of studies that link spending time outdoors (either in green leafy places or next to bodies of water) to improved mental health. But there are few studies that look at how different aspects of nature can play into humans’ me ntal well-being.And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time, according to Ryan Hammoud, lead author of the study.“They kind of examine nature as a single object when nature includes many different characteristics and features like trees, plants, water, birds,” said Hammoud, “We choose to focus on bird life to try and understand which specific characteristics of nature benefit mental well-being.”12．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A．To introduce a phenomenon. B．To bring in the topic.C．To ask an interesting question. D．To provide background information. 13．How did the researchers conduct the study?A．By analyzing previous studies. B．By observing the behavior of birds.C．By gathering feelings of participants. D．By studying people’s effect on birds. 14．What does Hammoud think of the new study?A．Pioneering. B．Interesting. C．Conventional. D．Practical. 15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Bird watching has become a popular hobby.B．Exposure to birds can improve mental well-being.C．Nature is the best medicine for mental health issues.D．Spending time outdoors can impact mental health positively.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes, they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood ba ck to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like what they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.4. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that .A. the time is too short for doctorsB. the patients are often too nervousC. the damage is extremely hard to fixD. the blood-cooling machine might break down5. With Dr. White’s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain .A. can last as long as 30 minutesB. can keep the brain’s blood warmC. can keep the patient’s brain healthyD. can help monkeys do different jobs6. What is the right order of the steps in the operation?a. send the cooled blood back to the brainb. stop the blood to the brainc. have the blood cooled downd. operate on the brainA. a, b, c, dB. c, a, b, dC. c, b, d, aD. b, c, d, a7. What mainly makes the brain operation possible?A. Taking the blood out of the brain.B. Trying the operation on monkeys first.C. Having the blood go through a machine.D. L owering the brain’s temperature.CIf we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some“dos and don’ts” for you to follow.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls.It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as manyfriends as possible.

Youcan make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of youhave much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little,you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) arerich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love witheach other at an early age.

I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it, but it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge—hunger.For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the frustration someone feels when they don’t get enoughto eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions justto make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.With the help of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through theCoalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Café programs. I am so proud to be able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.12. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A. The author wouldn’t go to Central Florida again.B. The author felt hopeless in Central Florida at that time.C. Florida was not a good place for people living there at that time.D. People like to live with friends in a familiar city.13. Why did the author run a distance of over 7 miles on many occasions?A. Because he didn’t want to be late for work there.B. Because he desired to get some food to eat.C. Because he went there to help the poor.D. Because he helped distribute food resources to the poor.14. Before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author .A. had lived with his relatives happilyB. had won his degree in a universityC. had been struggling financiallyD. had lost hope of facing the future15. From his experience, the author learns that .A. people can learn a lesson from difficultiesB. people may suffer a lot in an unfamiliar cityC. people should not give up even in troubleD. people might be rewarded if they’re kind to others第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的（A、B、C、D、E、F、G）选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Now learn to use a computer safely.Your eyes —— Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a comprter screen. Your eyes should be at least 50 centimeters (厘米) from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect (反射) on the screen. If the window is in front of you , the sun and the screen will both shine(照耀) into your eyes.Your hands —— Hand injuries can happen because the hands are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard (键盘) for a long time, follow this rule: Stop sometimes and exercise your hands and fingers in different ways.Your back —— Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back and your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes.

How to protect your backBLast week, 169 junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no- teacher exam. after the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back.A student collected in the papers when the exam ended.“that test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral (道德). We wanted to show students how important honesty (老实) is, “said Cai Wenguo, the school’s headmaster. The school says no cheating() happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80% of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.“I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted (信任) me. 〞said LangYudan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11.“Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators (监考人). But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed.〞 said Hua Sha.“I don’t like having invigilators in exams . When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed.〞 Liu Qingxi said.“I think it’s very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them. 〞 Shangguan Yuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.61.

What does Hua Sha think about no- teacher exams?A. It’s a good idea to have no- teacher exams but something must be done first.B. If there are no invigilators, the students will certainly get lower marks.C. Exams without invigilators will never be held since students are not honest.D. She thinks it’s the best way to show that schools trust their students a lot.65. In the sentence “And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusualhappens 〞“they〞 refers to (指) .A. studentsB. headmastersC. invigilatorsD. schoolsCSeveral years ago, I read a book Your Money or Your Life, written by Joe Domingguez and Vicki Robin. The major theme of the book is the idea that if you want to cut your spending, you’ll have to begin by stopping trying to impress other people.The authors divide people into two groups : people whose opinions you care about, and people whose opinions you don’t care about one way or another. It’s easy to stop caring about people whose opinions you don’t care about. Who cares what they think ? As long as you’re not doing something truly immoral —— something that might potentially create a negative reputation foryou —— it doesn’t matter what they think.But shouldn’t you impress other people whose opinions you do care about ? Anyway, they are people you want to meet : customers, friends and family.The answer is that you don’t need to impress those people with expensive, shiny things. The relationship you’ve built with them —— or you’re going to build with them —— is based on you, not on the material items. They’ll either like you for you or they won’t.To put it simply, take care of the basics. Keep yourself clean. Keep your weight under control. Wear reasonable clothing. Work on your communication skills. If you have them covered, you don’t need to invest time and money in impressing other people.Coming to this realization is incredibly valuable. It drops your clothing budget. It drops your automobile budget. It drops your electronics budget. It drops your housing budget. You don’t need a shiny car, an iPhone, or a ＄50 haircut.Yes , you may actually still want one or two of these things, but the impetus(动力) comes from what your personal values are, not what other people around you seem to value or what marketing messages you receive.For some people, it seems impossible. Their social cues come from advertising-laden media and from friends who also get their cues from advertising-laden media.They believe they need a slick cellphone and ＄100 casual clothes. Their self-worth revolves around that little burst they get from impressing others.People should learn to break through that situation. In short, don’t play socially by the tiring old rules that revolve around needing to impress people. Instead, spend your time on things that bring real value to you and give real value to others.66. Which of the following behaviours is “immoral〞according to the second paragraph ?A. Caring about other people’s opinion.B. Dropping your clothing budget.C. Copying existing works.D. Obeying the tra ffic rule. 67. To build relationship with others, you should pay attention to the following EXEPT _______.A. dressing casuallyB. learning about weight controlC. improving communication skillsD. being a tidy person68. As for people we care about, what does the author advise us to do ?A. To impress them in a proper way.B. To buy them special gifts.C. To spare more time to be with them.D. To impress them with shiny things.69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ?A. An iPhone is totally unnecessary in our life.B. Your family members’opinions are always worth caring about.C. Learning how to impress others helps people save money.D. You should always be aware of what other people around you seem to value.70. What is the best title for the passage ?A. Whose opinions do you care about ?B. Two different groups of people.C. My favorite book : Your Money or Your LifeD. Stop trying to impress other people. PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION A ( 10 points )Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage.Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS〔每空不超过三个单词〕for each answer.A listener has written from China for advice about how to lose weight. Michael in Shanghai says he is 26 and has battled obesity 〔肥胖〕for most of his life.Obesity , a severe weight problem, is a complex condition. A doctor may advise taking medicine along with changing one’s behaviors. Experts say that the most successful weight—loss plans include a well-balanced diet and exercise.People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use. To lose weight, you can reduce the number of calories you take in, increase the number you use, or both.A recent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the US. Researchers at Stanford University in California studied over 300 overweight women, mostly in their thirties and forties. Each woman went on one of the four plans: Atkins, The Zone, Ornish or LEARN. The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans.At the end of the year, the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most, more than four and one-half kilograms on average. They also did better on tests for cholesterol levels and blood pressure.Christopher Gardner, who led the study, says the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to eat less sugar. He also says that the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals. He says that there was not enough money to study men, but that men would probably have similar results.Last week, another report based on thirty-one studies suggested that only a small minority of people have long-term success with dieting. Most dieters regained their lost weight withinfive years and often they become more overweight. But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.Title: 71.

They are home to ten native species.B. They hold year-round sports activities.C. They offer opportunities to learn about animals.D. They are known for high temperatures in summer.BEveryday activities often ignore the needs of people with disabilities, which led to Nicola Swann mugs(马克杯) becoming a symbol of kindness.One day, Nicola Swann, a British potter, was asked by her friend to do something exceptional. This friend's husband had problems using regular mugs because of a condition that affected his arms and hands. This is where Swann discovered a widespread issue—disabled individuals feeling uncomfortable using cups.Due to a desire to help, Swann came up with an answer. She made the first type of her disability-friendly mugs for her friend's husband. The mug, with two handles(把手), is balanced and also stylish in its design. That was the start of what is now called “Digni-TEA” mugs from her Made with Mud business. Without fail, Swann was determined to make mugs that looked like everyday drinking cups. She recognized that accessibility should not come at the cost of style. Everyone's experience with a disability is unique. So she made many different styles for everyone to use, from double handles to weighted bottoms. Swann's decision to call her products “Digni-TEA” is more than just a choice of name. Her goal is to give people back their dignity(尊严)so they can drink from a regular mug without worrying about medical help.Swann's mugs, shared on social media, gained widespread attention with millions of views. People appreciated their simplicity and usefulness, which they felt matched everyday dignity. A comment says, “As a professional doctor, I love this! They are important to my patients. Great work!” “I have terrible rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎), and these seem so useful. The double handles are wonderful,” says another comment.4. What inspired Swann to make disability-friendly mugs?A. Her childhood hobby.B. Her poor living condition.8. Her desire for being famous.D. Her friend's call for assistance.5. Why did Swann create a range of designs of mugs?A. To make her mugs unique.B. To meet diverse needs.(', To show her special skills. D. To increase product sales.6. Which of the following best describes Swann?A. Caring and creative.B. Serious and impolite.C. Brave and energetic.D. Honest and responsible.CIt's easy not to think much about the intelligence of insects. Small creatures with even smaller brains—how smart can they be? But as researchers begin to rethink how animals think, even insects are being seen in a new light. Now a new study from the University or Bristol finds that Heliconius butterflies(蝴蝶) have the ability to learn about space.To test the butterflies’ spatial learning abilities, the researchers set up experiments across three different spatial levels, each reflecting behaviors significant to their natural environment. First, they checked if the butterflies could find food among16 flowers in a small area. Next, they enlarged the space, seeing if the butterflies could choose the correct side of a larger maze(迷宫) for food. Finally, they used a big outdoor cage to see if the butterflies could find their way through a wide T-maze for food. The butterflies succeeded in all tests.The study's senior author, Dr. Stephen Montgomery, notes that these findings show the difficult behaviors that even familiar animals like butterflies exhibit as part of their natural eco logy(生态). These species are processing diverse information from their environment and utilizing it to perform difficult tasks—all with brains just a few millimeters wide.The researchers plan to further investigate Heliconius butterflies’ spatial learning abilities by comparing them to closely related species that do not feed on pollen(花粉). This will help show how an animal's environment can affect the development of its thinking skills.Co-lead author Dr. Priscila Moura stresses the significance of these findings, saying that they provide actual evidence of the butterflies’ fascinating spatial learning abilities, a subject that has been discussed for nearly a century. With the new understanding, the researchers can continue to explore insect intelligence and behavior.7. What did the University of Bristol's study find about Hehicomius butterflies?A. They are capable of spatial learning.B. They require assistance in finding food.C. They can fly long distances without rest.D. They have a social circle like other insects.8. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?p? The research benefits. B. The research process.C. The research papers.D. The research team.9 What does the underlined word “utilizing” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Checking.B. Seeking.C. Judging.D. Using.10. What is Dr. Priscila Moura's attitude toward the findings?A. Doubtful.B. Puzzled.C. Supportive.D. Unclear.第二节 (共5 小题;每小题2.5分,满分 12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A year ago?For many reasons, borrowing books from librariesseems to be in decline. With advances in technology, it is now possible forpeople to download and read whatever they like on electronic devices such asKindles. It has been argued that doing this is cheaper than buying hard-copybooks. They are also lightweight, making them ideal for travelling.Call me old fashioned, but I’ve never got intothe e-books: I like to have printed books lining my bookshelves; I love thesmell of a new book; and I enjoy leafing through paper pages — as long as Iavoid the paper cuts!So, I prefer paper books, and I also prefer toown them myself. Libraries only lend books, so what use are they tosomeone like me, or to someone who only reads electronic books?Personally, I still love libraries. They offer aquiet space to sit, read, think, do research…a real escape from the outsideworld. When I was at university, I frequently spent hours at the library andborrowed numerous journals, articles and other printed materials, as it wasjust too expensive to buy brand new books every week. Libraries are free!Libraries often organize a series of interestingactivities as well. My local library hosted actors, historians and otherspeakers during the town’s annual art and literature festival. Well-knownauthors are also invited to libraries to give speeches or lead discussionsabout their work. Events such as these are a great way to appeal to people ofall ages in the community and encourage the use of libraries.There are still many fantastic ways to uselibraries — maybe we just need to be more awake to them!（1）What is the writer’s purpose of using question sentences in Paragraph 1?A .

Relax, you say toyourself— it was just a bad dream. Well, it may be that you really shouldrelax, because nightmares might actually be good for you.According to NewYork magazine, bad dreams can improve your mental health. A bad dream tendsto be based on a real-life concern, for example, an approaching test or a fearof a person. To eliminate these worries the brain turns the dream into astory in the form of a bad dream.A bad dream enables you to distance yourself fromyour anxieties, and turn something you’re worried about now into a memory. Theresult is that when you wake up, you’re able to move forward and face thefuture.A study, featured in The Atlantic magazine, showed something similar. In a survey ofmore than 700 French students taking a medical school entrance exam, over 60percent had negative dreams about the test the night before. These included notfinishing on time, leaving a question blank, or being late. Those who reporteddreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn’t,suggesting that nightmares do in fact prepare us for the future.“We think nightmares are so common thatthey have some purpose to process stressors,” Anne G ermain, director ofthe Sleep Center at the University of Pittsburgh, said.So, the next time you lie awake at night after abad dream, remember that it may be the brain’s way of putting your fears behindyou and readying you for the future. Although a nightmare may make you afraidin the short term, it might be helping you to move on from the bad stuff youmight be facing in the real world. Perhaps we should try to accept ournightmares rather than allow them to keep us awake. After all, lack of sleepcauses far more problems than dreams do.（1）Which of the following best explains “eliminate” in Paragraph 2?A . Remove.B . Reflect.C . Satisfy.D .
