Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies (辣椒) toour food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-oldUSman recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper—the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News.
In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people—almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning feeling that comes from eating chilies by releasing natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness” , noted BBC News.
And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. And another study done by theUniversityofVermontcame to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age,” Liu Qi, a nutritionist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, told BBC News.
Chilies have anti-cancer quality and the ability to increase our metabolism (新陈代谢). So, don't worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us—except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps.

I’ve been putting my passport to good use lately. I use it asa coaster and to level unsteady table legs. It makes an excellent cat toy.
Welcome to the pandemic (疫情) of disappointments. Canceled trips or ones never planned in case they would be canceled. Family reunions, study-abroad years, lazy beach vacations. Poof. Gone. Ruined by a tiny virus, the list of countries where our passports are not welcome is long.
It is not natural for us to be this sedentary (定居的). Travel is in our genes. For most of the time our species has existed, we've lived as nomadic (游牧的) hunter-gatherers. But what if we can't move? What's a traveler to do? There are ways to answer that question. "Despair," though, is not one of them.
We are an adaptive species. We can tolerate brief periods of forced sedentariness. We pass the days glancing through old travel journals and Instagram posts. We gaze at souvenirs. All this helps. For a while. Then, what hope do we have?
I think hope lies in the very nature of travel. Travel involves wishful thinking. It demands a leap of faith, and of imagination, to board a plane for some faraway, land. Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and are drunk in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.
That's one reason why I have faith in travel's future. In fact, I'd argue travel is an essential activity. It's not essential the way hospitals and grocery stores are essential. Travel is essential the way books and hugs are essential. Food for the soul. Right now, we're between courses, enjoying where we've been, expecting where we'll go. Maybe it'sZanzibarand maybe it's the campground down the road that you've always wanted to visit.
8. From the first paragraph we learn that the author is _______ .
A. desperate
B. humorous
C. bored
D. worried
9. From the author's perspective, what's the point of travel?
A. To feel hopeful.
B. To make a wish.
C. To take adventures.
D. To broaden horizons.
10. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By showing evidences.
B. By providing examples.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By interpreting opinions.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Where to go for a trip.
B. Why people need to travel.
C. How to fight the pandemic.
D. What people should do at home.
D
Mark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It's life-changing but it's not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”
After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”
When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.
The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical (辅助医疗的) tattooing. Now
people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned (肉色的) inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients' view of themselves.
Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.
“Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I looked for other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence.“ You don't understand until you've been through it,” Pollan says. “It made me have a different look on life.”
Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn't charge for paramedical tattoos. “Financially, it doesn't make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see that emotion from my customers, I'm 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing.”
12. What best describes people's attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?
A. Indifferent.
B. Ridiculous.
C. Confident.
D. Surprised.
13. What did Catalano do to help Leslie Pollan?
A. He drew an artistic puppy.
B. He inked scars on her face.
C. He created a lip tattoo.
D. He performed plastic surgeries on her.
14. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Cosmetic surgery is of no use.
B. Tattoos earn Mark Bertram a good fame.
C. Catalano is a kind and generous person.
D. Fingernail tattoos are popular around the world.
15. What could be the best title for the text?
A. A Life-changing Event
B. Miracle Tattoos
C. An Amazing Artist
D. A Promising Business
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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When germs, such as bacteria or viruses, invade the body, they attack and multiply. 36 The immune
system uses several tools to fight infection（感染）. Blood contains red blood cells, for carrying oxygen to tissues and organs, and white or immune cells, for fighting infection. These white cells consist primarily of macrophages （巨噬细胞）, B cells and T cells.
Macrophages swallow up and digest germs, plus dead and dying cells. They leave behind parts of the invading germs called antigens（抗原）. 37 B cells are defensive white blood cells which produce antibodies. T cells are also defensive white blood cells. They attack cells in the body that have already been infected.
The first time the body comes across a germ, it can take several days to make and use all the germ fighting tools needed to get over the infection. After the infection, the immune system remembers what is learned about how to protect the body against that disease.
38 They help develop immunity by imitating an infection. This type of infection, however, almost never causes illness, but it does cause the immune system to produce T cells and antibodies. Sometimes, after getting a vaccine（疫苗）, the imitation infection can cause minor symptoms. For instance, a fever. 39 Once the imitation infection goes away, the body is left with a supply of defensive cells that will remember how to find that disease in the future. 40 Therefore, itis possible that a person infected with the disease just before or just after vaccination could develop symptoms and get a disease, because the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.
A. Vaccines basically work the same way.
B. This invasion, called an infection, is what causes illness.
C. Vaccines prevent diseases that can be dangerous, or even deadly
D. Scientists take many different approaches to developing vaccines.
E. The body identifies them as dangers and excites antibodies to attack them.
F. Such minor symptoms are normal and should be expected as the body builds immunity.
G. However, it typically takes a few weeks for the body to produce those defensive cells after vaccination.

Dear Chris,
I learn that some people laugh at me for being overweight. Don’t be so worried about your figure.
I know a group calling HOOP from the Internet, which is established to be the voice of the overweight persons. It made up of a group of friendly and supportive people, all understanding the struggle of being overweight. So you will not feel lonely when you exercise. There are a plenty of activities and trainer who don’t
push you to do what you dislike. With their support and encourage it’s easy for you to leave your comfort zone and try something new.
I would high recommend HOOP to you. Whether it’s to complete a personal challenge and start a healthier lifestyle, HOOP can really help you become the best version of you. Although you keep exercising, your figure will be good than before. Best wishes!

51.(1).me→you.考查代词。

此处是给朋友Chris的信，别人嘲笑Chris因为他胖。

指代Chris用you,故me→you.
(2). calling →called.考查非谓语动词。

句中a group和动词call是被动关系用过去分词表被动，指这个团队被叫做HOOP.故calling →called.
(3).it后加is/was.考查动词。

此处指HOOP由一群友好支持的人组成，此处表被动，be made up of“由…组成”，故it后加is/was.
(4).去掉a.考查固定短语。

plenty of “许多，大量”是固定短语，前面不加冠词a，故去掉a.
(5). trainer →trainers.考查名词。

根据There are 和plenty of可知都表示复数，名词也用复数。

故trainer →trainers.
(6). encourage →encouragement.考查名词。

由their修饰，和and前的support并列用名词，故encourage →encouragement.
(7). high →highly.考查副词。

此处修饰动词recommend用副词，表示强力推荐，故high →highly.
(8). and →or.考查连词。

此处指是要完成个人挑战还是开始一个更健康的生活方式，Whether …or…表示“是…还是…”，故and →or.
(9). Although →Once/If/When.考查连词。

此处指一旦/如果/当你不断地锻炼时，你的体形会比以前好许多。

不是“尽管”应该用“一旦/如果/当…时”，故Although →Once/If/When.
(10).good→better.考查形容词最高级。

根据句中than before可知是含有比较的意思，指比以前更好，所以用比较级。

故good→better
52.略。
