Ⅳ. 阅读理解A13、Spring is here. Did you plant trees on Tree-Planting Day? Everyone knows that climate change is a serious problem these days. People have a lot of work to do in order to prevent it. One of the best ways is to plant more trees.According to a study by NASA, the Earth’s green leaf ar ea has increased by 5 percent, or over 5 million squarekilometers since 2000. China is responsible for 25 percent of the increase. That’s about one square of the size of the whole Amazon rainforest.Over the past twenty years, China has made great efforts to green the land in order to fight soil erosion (水土流失) and air pollution. It is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert.For example since 1962, China had been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei province. It was once a barren(贫瘠) are a. After overcoming many difficulties, foresters have turned the area into China’s largest man-made forest. Another example is the Kubuqi Desert, which is near the Y ellow River in Inner Mongolia. It was once the source(来源) of sandstorms in Beijing. But now, about one third of the Kubuqi Desert is covered with trees, and sandstorms are less common. Mu Us Desert was also known for its sandstorms many years ago. But now, one-quarter of the desert has been turned into forest.In a word, planting trees is really important to us. Let’s take part in planting trees to make our earth greener and more beautiful.1．The reason why China makes great efforts to green the land is to _____A．prevent climate change B．plant more treesC．reduce water pollution D．stop the soil from being washed away2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．China succeeds in greening the desertB．Planting tree is the best way to prevent the climate changeC．The green leaf area of China has increased by 0.25 million square kilometers since 2000.D．Mu Us Desert cause the sandstorms in Beijing3．It is _______ for foresters to turn Saihanba into the forestA．dangerous B．exciting C．difficult D．impossibleB14、阅读图表，从每题所给的A 、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳答案回答问题或完成句子1．（小题1）What can you know from the poster for the festival?A．There is going to be a food festival on April 16.B．It will take place on the playground of No. 2 Middle School.C．It aims to raise some money for the Project Hope.2．（小题2）What time will the food Festival be over?A．4 hours.

I hope you are feeling well and your leg is improving. Can you walk a bit now? Is your neighbour, Mrs Lu, bringing you enough books to read? I hope so. You’d love our school library, Grandma. There are so many books on all kinds of subjects. The other day I found a book about engineering. I couldn’t really understand it but I hope to learn more about thi s topic sometime. This term I have three new subject classes, so I think I’ll tell you about them.I study biology. It is a very interesting subject. I’m learning all about the human body, where everything is and what it does. Did you know that we have a k issing muscle? It’s called ‘orbicularis’ and it’s a circle muscle that closes your mouth and moves your lips forward. I love biology. It’s so interesting! Another new subject is religion (宗教). I didn’t think I would like this one, but actually it is very interesting to hear how different people worship (崇拜). We are learning about lots of religions from all over the world, not only Asia. My other new subject is Spanish. It’s really difficult to learn a new language but I know it will be useful for me in the future, if I want to travel around the world. Spanish is one of the official languages of the European Union and the United Nations. I’ve learnt that Spanish is not only spoken in Europe but in South America too. Countries like Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Mexico also speak Spanish. You know I’ve always wanted to go to Mexico, so if I can speak Spanish it would be really useful.Did you study these subjects when you were at school? I suppose subject choice changes over time, doesn’t it? I’ll cometo visit you again in the next holiday, which I think is in eight weeks’ time. I’ll bring you some of my new books if you like. I hope you can write back soon and tell me all the village news. I miss you very much.Lots of love,Sara1．From the letter we can know that Grandma’s leg was ________.A．improving B．lost C．getting worse D．hurt2．The writer has learnt a lot except ________ since she began to study biology.A．the human body B．a kissing muscleC．orbicularis D．circles3．Which of the following is Not True according to the passage?A．Sara knows little about engineering.B．Sara thinks Spanish is useful but not easy to learn.C．Grandma probably doesn’t like reading books very much.D．The subjects Sara learns are different from the ones her grandma did.D16、The Youth Daily newspaper group is looking for twoEnglish - language business editors (编辑)for the international team.Applicants(申请人) shouldhelp the editor-in-chief (主编) set goals and work on completing themgive creative ideas，be able to rewrite artic1es if necessary and give lessons to the team members who have litt1e experience.work hard to finish the tasks on time.have at least three years’ experience.If you join us，you'll getfree lunch80% medical costseven days' paid leave11 public holidays and a return to your hometownIf you are interested in it，************************************.1．The Youth Daily newspaper group offers everything below EXCEPT to the editors.A．have lunch for free B．a week’s leave without getting paidC．public holidays D．most medical cost2．If you want to get the job，you can The Youth Daily newspaper group firstA．cal1 B．visit C．email D．write3．From the chart (图表) ，we know that .A．only those who know two languages can get the jobB．applicants are required to be good at writingC．anyone who has worked for two years can get the jobD．workers of The Youth Daily don't need to pay for housingE17、Are you taking good care of your hair and using the right products?

江苏省淮安市涟水县第一中学2023-2024学年高三上学期12月考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Located about 10 km northeast of the city center, the Chengdu Panda Base is a popularHow to Get There It takes about a half hour and costs around 30 CNY to get to the Chengdu Panda Base from the city center by taxi. You can also get there by public bus or subway, although these routes require a few transfers.1．What is special about the Chengdu Panda Base?A．It offers tourists panda souvenirs.B．It is a zoo with the features of a park.C．It is the largest panda research base.D．It has more pandas than anywhere else. 2．How much should a couple at least pay to visit the Chengdu Panda Base?A．110 CNY.B．75 CNY.C．55 CNY.D．45 CNY. 3．What is the text?A．A guidebook.B．A news report.C．An announcement.D．An exhibition guide.I live in Xizhou in Y unnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road. I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds.Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures.4．How did the writer first respond to Paul’s travel plan?A．Scared.B．Puzzled.C．Disappointed.D．Surprised.5．What can we learn about Paul Salopek from paragraph 2?A．He was a western journalist.B．He had a knowledge of China.C．He came to China several times.D．He was Joseph Rock’s acquaintance. 6．What does paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul?A．They honored the ancestors.B．They set off in high spirits.C．They satisfied the locals’ curiosity.D．They built bonds with people. 7．What is the main purpose of the writer’s writing the text?A．To share and reflect on a journey.B．To suggest a new way of travel.C．To advocate protection of biodiversity.D．To introduce and promote Chinese culture.Comfort food makes a person feel good. Food high in sugar or fat tends to improve mood by stimulating the brain’s reward system. So it makes sense that many of us may turn to food for comfort in times of stress. There’s some fascinating research that examines food as a source of comfort. However, the most interesting thing about this research may be that foods are far less comforting than we tend to believe they are.Traci Mann, a professor of psychology, and colleagues conducted a series of study with college students. The researchers examined how much comfort foods actually improve mood. They provided students with one of the three foods that they had indicated were their top, personal comfort foods. After producing a negative mood by having them watch movie clips designed to increase their sadness, anger and anxiety, the researchers offered the students their comfort food.They had to assess (评估) how they felt before and after they were supposedly comforted by ice cream, pizza or whatever they had indicated they typically ate to feel better. All of the students completed the study on two separate occasions: once when they were able to eat their comfort food and once when they were able to eat another food they liked, but they wouldn’t call a comfort food. The researchers found that comfort food did improve students’ moods — but only by a little bit and not more than the other food they liked.In another study, comfort food was compared to no food at all, and students’ moodsseemed to improve even when they didn’t eat anything—most likely just due to the passage of time.The take-home message from the studies? While the comfort food may make the person feel better for the time being, it does little to address emotional problems. Of course, everyone can indulge(纵情)in a comfort food from time to time, but overall, aim for these instances to be the exception rather than the rule.8．Which aspect of comfort food do Tract Mann’s studies focus on?A．The means by which it affects mood.B．Its role in reducing negativity.C．Its impact on physical health.D．The extent to which it lifts mood. 9．How were the studies carried out?A．By analyzing questionnaires about comfort foods.B．By observing students’ different reactions to foods.C．By collecting data about people from all walks of lifeD．By comparing students’ feelings on different occasions.10．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A．To explain a rule.B．To introduce a concept.C．To make a suggestion.D．To present a fact.11．What is a suitable title for the text?A．The Science behind Comfort Food B．Comfort Food May not Work Wonders C．Feeling Negative? Try Comfort Food D．Comfort Food Tend to Be UnhealthyMICROSOFT says it has used the natural language AI ChatGPT, created by the company OpenAI, to control a range of robots with simple text commands.The chatbot was trained on a vast amount of data, including source code. It has previously demonstrated the ability to write software based on text and even to fix errors in existing code. Microsoft has now used the AI to take text commands from humans and interpret them into code that can control robots directly. In one test, ChatGPT wrote code to instruct a robotic arm to create a Microsoft logo from wooden blocks. In another, it steered a drone to reach a point while avoiding obstacles. The research was intended ”to see if ChatGPT can think beyond text, and reason about the physical world to help with robotics tasks“.ChatGPT isn’t in direct, real-time control of the robot, but simply creates the code thatcontrols it. Microsoft said in its blog post that ChatGPT output shouldn’t be applied directly to a robot without ”careful analysis“, but experts warn that it is risky to even begin thinking about placing AI in control of physical machines.Mark Coeckelbergh at the University of Vienna, Austria, says that regulations may be needed in order to set out where AI can be used and who is responsible should things go wrong. ”It’s a very dangerous thing to just say “let’s give control of these computers to AI’, ” says Coeckelbergh. “The problem with contemporary artificial intelligence is that it’s not transparent to the user. That’s a huge problem. ”Others were sceptical about the ability of language models to program robots for complex tasks. Kathleen Richardson at De Montfort University Leicester, UK, says that AI language models are convincing mimics (模仿者), but that their real ability-including their adaptability to control robots-is often exaggerated. “I think Microsoft, and most people who design robots, have too much confidence in what they can do, ” she says.12．Which function doesn’t belong to ChatGPT according to MICROSOFT?A．Create code.B．Correct code errors.C．Write software.D．Control robots directly.13．What can we infer from paragraph 3?A．Experts agree that we can apply AI to code analysis.B．Experts warn against the idea of using AI to control robots.C．Microsoft believes ChatGPT output should be used indirectly.D．ChatGPT output has been widely applied after careful analysis.14．What does the underlined word “exaggerated” in the last paragraph mean?A．Neglected.B．Simplified.C．Overestimated.D．Praised. 15．What is the author’s attitude towards the ability of ChatGPT to control robots?A．Objective.B．Favorable.C．Critical.D．Indifferent.Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.16 When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. 17 Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect.18 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.The third technique is to try printing out a triple—spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 19 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 20 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.A．Make sure your handwriting is neat.B．Let your pen follow the waves of thought.C．The second draft of the essay should be better.D．First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.E．Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.F．Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.G．Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.二、完形填空Within two months, my mom made a 34 performance in a New York comedy club.

But it seems that besides wearing a mask, few of us knowwhat has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news hostess with China Central Television, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome.The 103 - minute film was published on major Chinese video - sharing websites on Feb 28. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She comes to the conclusion that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog.To make things worse, according to Chai, the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and don't meet the standards for environmental protection. Therefore they have produced more harmful gas to pollute the air.To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace them with cleaner energy such as natural gas. In her film, Chai also pointed out that ordinary people can do something to help control smog too. For example, we live a greener life by using more public traffic. Or if we see things that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it. In one scene from the film, Chai sees a dirt mound in a building site exposed in the air, and asks the person in charge to cover it. When she sees a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities, she calls the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later.Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. "This film encourages ordinary people to care about the environment. This is what we need in the future. "1．What do most of people do to deal with the smog?A．Wear a mask. B．Think of ways to beat it.C．Find out what has caused it. D．Take a documentary.2．What is the main cause of smog according to Chai?A．Setting off too many fireworks. B．Burning too much coal and oil.C．Too many cars in big cities. D．Too many factories and companies.3．Which of the following is NOT Chai's suggestions towards reducing smog?A．Using cleaner energy. B．Cleaning coal and oil.C．Using natural gas. D．Replacing coal with wind energy.4．What can we tell from the story?A．Only factories produce heavy smogB．It tells us two ways to protect environment.C．Taking public traffic is good for the environment.D．Ordinary people can do nothing to help control smog5．What's Chen Jining's attitude towards Chai's film?A．He showed no interested in it. B．He thought highly of it.C．He didn't agree with it. D．He complained about it.B14、Have you seen Avatar？It’s a popular movie this year. It is three-dimensional(3D), so you may have to wear a special pair of glasses to see it. The 3D glasses make the images(图像) from the movie look like they are coming straight at you. More and more 3D movies are coming to theaters. 3D TV sets have been produced in Japan now. Three-dimensional technology can make TV and movies more exciting. But people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3D movies.When we look at an object(物体), each eye sees it at a different angle(角度). Our eyes send the two images to ourbrain(大脑), and the brain puts them together. That’s how we see depth(深度). So when we watch a 3D movie, one film projector(投影机) projects a left eye image and the other projects a right eye image. 3D glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye.There are a lot of people walking around with very less serious eye problems. Under normal situations, the brain can adjust to their eyes so they can see things normally.But when they are watching a 3D movie, the images projected to their eyes can’t be put together by their brain. So the brain needs to work harder at reading the images. That makes it easier for these people to get headaches.Dr John Hagan, an eye doctor in Kansas City, said some people who do not see depth normally cannot see in 3D at all. 1．When people want to watch a three-dimensional movie, they need .A．a ticket B．a pair of 3D glasses C．an earphone2．Three-dimensional technology uses film projector(s) to project one movie at the same time.A．one B．two C．three3．A ccording to the passage, if we look at an object by only one eye, we can’t judge the excatly.A．image B．angle C．depth4．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A．In the near future, people can enjoy 3D movie by watching TV at home.B．Whenever you wear a 3D glasses, you can see objects more clearly.C．People who have something wrong with their brain can’t read the images of 3D movie.5．The main idea of this passage is .A．how to use 3D glasses to watch a 3D movie.B．3D glasses make the movie seem aliveC．not everybody can enjoy 3D movies.C15、Y ou could be a Teacher!Great chances for you to find out more with our 3-day Teaching Taster Course!●Find out what it’s really like to be a teacher in a primary or secondary school and spe nd one day in school;●Learn about the different roads to teaching - full time, part time, including how you can earn while you train;●Find out about the job, e. g. teacher’s pay and the conditions of the work;●Our courses are funded(资助) by Teachers Training Agency and so only costyou ￡20.Our next courses are being held:Lincoln ( Lincolnshire) 25 to 27 June 2018Scunthorpe ( Nth Lincolnshire) 16 to 18 September 2018Stamford (Lincolnshire) 3 to 5 December 2018Beverley ( East Yorkshire) 21 to 23 January 2019Boston ( Lincolnshire) 11 to 13 February 2019Interested?

A change in the school timetable(课程表) may be the cure.This suggestion is based on a recent study carried out by scientists from Royal Holloway, University of London, the UK. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the mornings and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoons.The researchers studied students’ grade reports, class timetables and absence rates(缺席率) at a middle school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored about 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students feel stressed most when they were studying math in the afternoon. In history, students taught in the afternoon scored about 6 percent higher than whenthey were taught in the morning. However, there was no sign that similar patterns(模式) work for other subjects such as languages or geography.Velichka Dimitrova, who did the study, said the findings show that we perform(表现) better at different times of the day. ＂In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention＂Dimitrova told The Telegraph. ＂In the afternoon, it seems that this process slows down. On the other hand, history is more suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion,＂she said. Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and creativity. This is perhaps why the time of day had no influence on language learning.Time-of-day influences such as these are believed to have something to do with the body clock.This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults. Dimitrova believes schools should jump at this chance to improve their students’ performance just by changing their timetables.1．In which classes do you learn equations (Paragraph 1) according to the passage?A．Math. B．Geography. C．English. D．History.2．According to the new study, .A．afternoon classes lowered students’ performance in historyB．school timetables have an influence on every subjectC．it was better for students to learn math in the morningD．lower-ability students preferred to start school earlier3．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?A．It shows the importance of studying different subjects at different times of the day.B．It introduces the best time to do things that require memory and creativity.C．It encourages students to change their study methods for better results.D．It explains how school timetables affect people’s study performance.4．According to Dimitrova, .A．rearranging(重新安排) school timetables is the best way to improve students’ test scoresB．schools should follow advice from the study and actively change their timetablesC．most schools don’t have enough resources to support timetable changesD．schools should think twice before changing their class timetables5．What is the best title of this passage?A．Time to change the timetable. B．A survey carried out successfully.C．Secrets of learning math and history well. D．Body clocks influence grades.E17、I volunteer with Meals on Wheels every Friday. A week ago, I had the pleasure of helping one of my customers. She is in her eighties and is very weak and I always bring her lunch on Fridays. She looked worried when she opened the door that day. She told me her phone was broken and that she couldn’t receive the call from her doctor. She went to her neighbors, but they were not at home. She thought maybe the mailman could help her, but he didn’t come. She was disappointed.Having heard her story, I decided to do something for her. I tried to exceed the needs of the old woman who only needed a helping hand. I called the phone company immediately and made sure they knew that getting this phone fixed was urgent(紧急的). I took down her phone number and her name just to make sure I could call her later to make sure that the phone had been fixed.I called the phone company twice that day. They told me they had checked the phone line and got the phone connected. The old woman was so thankful that she was in tears, hugging me for my help.

Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have the three-day holiday posted.I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a little snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood, there were lights, all colors, and ornaments (饰品) shining against the green of a pine.“Where did it come from?” I asked.“I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when in great need…such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon.”The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly(难看) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.“It’s not like the one you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look for a better one. But I couldn’t be fussy because he had tried his best.”“Don’t worry,” I told her. “It’s perfect.”It wasn’t, of course, but at the m oment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.1．What did his mother’s Christmas tree look like?A．B．C．D．2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?A．One soldier told the writer he would have a three-day holiday for Christmas.B．When the writer got home, the Gates boy was cutting a Christmas tree.C．His mother would not complain for the Christmas tree which looked awkward.D．All the soldiers were lucky to go home for Christmas during the war.3．From the passage, we can infer that ___________.A．the writer spent his first Christmas during the warB．the writer didn’t like the tree cut by someone elseC．the writer used to cut very beautiful Christmas treeD．his mother didn’t want to have a Christmas tree du ring wartime4．What does the writer mean by saying “all Christmas trees are perfect”?A．Nothing is as perfect as Christmas.B．Once at home, everything is so nice.C．During the war, trees are hard to find.D．All Christmas trees are the most beautiful.5．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．A Soldier and the Christmas Tree B．How Soldiers Spent ChristmasC．The Perfect Christmas Tree D．Christmas and a Special TreeⅤ.书面表达19、最近一份学生体质健康调查结果显示，学生近视率仍维持在高位水平，且越来越低龄化。

Every morning, she went outside after breakfast and spent most of the day in the grounds. The cold wind brought pink to her face. And she finished all of her food each evening. She was much healthier. After dinner, she liked sitting near the fire and talkingto Martha.“Why does Mr. Craven hate the locked garden?” Mary asked once.“It was Mrs. Craven’s garden and she loved it. She looked after the flowers together with Mr. Craven. No gardeners were allowed in.”“But what happened?” Mary asked,“There was an old tree in the garden with a branch (树枝) like a seat, Mrs. Craven often sat there, reading and talking. One day, the branch broke and she fell down. She was badly hurt and died soon. Mr. Craven locked the garden and never talked about it.”Mary seldom felt sorry for anyone, but now she understood how sad her uncle must be.The wind roared around the house, and the doors and windows banged. Mary listened, and through the noise she thought that she heard a child crying.“Can you hear someone crying?” she asked Martha.Martha seemed pretty nervous. “No,” she answered. “It’s only the wind or the servant who works in the kitchen. She’s got a toothache. Perhaps she’s crying. I’m going to check if she needs any help.” After the words. Martha left the room quickly.When Martha left her alone. Mary decided to explore the house. She went quietly along corridors and up and down stairs. In the silence of the house she heard again the sound of a child crying.

Susan gets a terrible skin (皮肤) problem whenever she eats anything containing seafood, and David nearly died when he first ate a peanut cookie The body’s reaction (反应) to certain foods can be quite serious resulting in breathing problems or even the death. There are many things we eat that may cause our bodies to react badly if we have a food allergy (过敏).There are three common ways to test food allergies. Probably the simplest way is to give a child a food test. The doctor watches the child eat a little certain food to see if the child has an allergic reaction. This method takes quite a long time so it is used less often than the other two methods—skin tests and blood tests. In a skin test, a doctor puts allergens under the child’s skin and then waits to see if the child’s skin reacts. In a blood test, doctors take some of the child’s blood and add allergens to it and then check the blood.Dr. Jennifer from Stanford University spent 10 years studying the methods. She found a surprising fact. Skin tests or blood tests given to patients who visited their doctor for treatment of skin problems or stomachaches showed that these patients were allergic to certain foods. However, later tests showed that although they tested positive (阳性), fewer than 50 percent of them actually had food allergies. The problem might be food intolerance (不耐受) instead of a food allergy.Food allergies have something to do with a person’s immune system, while food intolerance has something to do with a person’s digestive system and the reaction is usually less serious. One of the most common kinds of food intolerance happens to people who have trouble taking in the sugar in food like milk, cheese and ice cream.Though allergy tests may show false positive results, they are still useful and can save lives. Some children’s food allergies may disappear as they grow older, so even though doctors don’t cure food allergies, sometimes the body itself does.40．The underlined word “allergens” refers to (指的是) ________.A．something that hurts people’s skin B．something that protects people’s skinC．something that prevents an allergic reaction D．something that causes an allergicreaction41．What can we learn from Dr. Jennifer’s study?A．Patients who tested positive may have food intolerance.B．Skin tests are much better than blood tests.C．Stomachaches are usually caused by food allergies.D．People with food intolerance should avoid food with sugar.42．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Food allergy—Can we cure it?B．Food allergy—How to test it.C．Food allergy tests—Can we trust them?D．Food allergy tests—How to improve them.请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
