To my horror, I could only fit into a size 20.Being overweight most of my adult life, I always had very little self-confidence. Wearing a dress I didn’t like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help. Thankfully, a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings, and I noticed her great progress. Her success inspired me to give it a try. I joined Weight Watchers, attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting! I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others. I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories, recipes and information offered there, I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers, which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.It’s hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change. I didn’t walk anywhere and couldn’t wash my car or walk my dog. Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them. But the change didn’t happen overnight. I had to exercise with patience and perseverance (坚持）. I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with if for good.The “new me” is more self-confident and healthier. I love how I feel now.I have more energy and feel like I’m 25 again. So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem?4. The underlined word “inspired” in the second paragraph can be replaced byA. excitedB. movedC. encouragedD. forced5. We can learn from the passage that the writer .A. often went shopping before she lost weightB. was overweight when she was a childC. ever wanted to give up losing weightD. now is more confident than before6. This passage is written to .A. tell us how to gain self-confidenceB. show off the great progress that the author has madeC. give us some tips on how to lose weight quicklyD. advise overweight people to give Weight Watchers a try7. Which of the following word will you use to describe the writer?A. Weak.B. Calm.C. Patient.D. Silent.CPeople who often eat nuts appear to live longer, according to the latest study of its kind. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested the greatest benefit was in those eating them on their daily diet.Eating nuts was linked to a healthier lifestyle including being less likely to smoke or be overweight and more likely to exercise. The British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link, “While this is an interesting link, we need further research to make sure if it's the nuts that protect heart health, or other sides of people’s lifestyle .”The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years. The more regularly people ate nuts, the less likely they were to die during the study. People eating nuts once a week were 11% less likely to have died during the study than those who never ate nuts. Lead researcher Dr. Charles Fuchs, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said, “The most obvious benefit was a decrease of 29%in deaths from heart disease, but we also saw a significant reduction-11%-in the danger of dying from cancer.”They suggest nuts are lowering cholesterol(胆固醇). and insulin resistance(胰岛素抗性). Nuts contain unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪), protein(蛋白质) and several kinds of vitamins and minerals and they can take the place of snacks like chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits.Victoria Taylor, senior expert at the British Heart Foundation, said, “This study shows close connection between regularly eating a small handful of nuts and a lower risk of death from heart disease.” Choosing plain, unsalted foods rather than sweet, salted, or chocolate-covered will keep your salt and sugar intake down.8. According to the passage, what kind of people benefit most form eating nuts?A. Those who eat most nuts at a time.B. Those who eat most nuts.C. Those who eat nuts on their daily diet.D. Those who eat less nuts.9. Which kind of disease had a most decrease for regular nuts eater?A. CancerB. Heart diseaseC. Stomach diseaseD. Unknown10. The writer developed the article mainly by .A. providing factsB. giving exampleC. listing dataD. comparing the difference11. Which section should the passage be taken from the newspaper?A. Science sectionB. Health sectionC. Entertainment sectionD. Tech sectionDOn the third Sunday in June, Americans take time to recognize and thank a special person in the family -fathers! Father’s Day celebrates the importance of fathers, young and old and the men thought of as father figures.The words "the child is father of the man" come from William Wordsworth’s poem My Heart Leaps Up. "It means people’s personalities form when they are children. They will most likely have the same qualities as an adult that they had as a child.Used in everyday speech, one could say, "In his case, the child was father of the man; he loved nature as a child and now works as a botanist(植物学家)".Let’s say you want to tell a child a story about something that happened long before they were born. You could say it happened when they “were just a twinkle in their father's eyes.” This expression has a humorous and dreamy feel. Here, the word “twinkle” suggests the interest your father had in your mother.When a much older man is interested in a much younger woman and supports her with his money, he is called he “sugar daddy.” The money part is very important-that's the sugar.Sometimes fathers are not a good influence or active in the lives of the children. In that case, a person may look for a father figure, a man who is not actually the person's father but who acts like one.The relationship between a man and his son can be complex. But the relationship between a father and daughter is often simpler. The expression “daddy’s little girl” is understood to mean that, in a father’s eyes, his daughter can do no wrong.There is usually not a dry eye at any wedding during the traditional father-and-daughter dance, especially if they are dancing to a song like Michael Buble’s “Daddy's Little Girl.”12. If a boy behaves just like his father, we can say .A. he is just a twinkle in his father’s eyesB. he is his sugar daddyC. like father, like sonD. the child is father of the man13. What do you know about “the child is father of the man”?A. A child is often spoiled by his father.B. People’s characters are formed when young.C. A boy will become a father when growing up.D. A child always shows his true nature.14. According to the passage, the song Daddy’s Little Girl is likely to beA. movingB. SorrowfulC. CrazyD. funny15. The author writes the passage mainly to .A. introduce the origin of Father’s DayB. show a boy should respect his fatherC. explain the importance of fathersD. tell people several expressions about father.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。

Holding a chisel (凿子) in his right hand, he guides it forward carefully and exactly across the woodblock using his left hand. To carve the woodblocks, the young craftsman has to hold this position for six hours. He has been carving woodblocks since 2012.“It feels good and looks beautiful when a Chinese character slowly appears on the woodblock under your chisel,” says Zhao. Zhao is now the only full-time carver working at the Zhuyu Shanfang studio, a workshop that focuses on creating woodblock-printed books in Beijing. Each carved woodblock has ink applied and goes on to print a text onto hundreds of pieces of paper. Zhao carves around 20 Chinese characters each day, which means it takes him one year or even a longer time to complete a set of woodblocks fit for a whole book.As a teenager he loved to read ancient Chinese books in the library, and the curiosity of how the books were made led him to get a job at the Guangling Guji ancient books woodblock printing studio in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, in 2011 after graduating as a law major from college.Block printing was listed as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009. Zhao was introduced to one of the technique’s masters, Chen Yishi, in 2012 and started to learn the skill from him.In Zhao’s mind, the inked woodblock is a work of art. After a year of learning from Chen, Zhao found a job at Zhuyu Shanfang in 2013, where he upgraded his carving skills. With his progress, his carved woodblocks have been used for more and more books over the past years.“I have just learned the basic skills, but to master it, I still need years of practice,” says Zhao. “A good craftsman can carve an entire book with every single character lined evenly.”4. What can we know about Zhao Yishen’s work?A. It is a flexible part-time job.B. It involves the printing work.C. It needs much effort and time.D. It includes creating characters.5. What made Zhao Yishen become a carver?A. The family influence.B. His major in college.C. The difficulty of finding a proper job.D. His interest in ancient Chinese books.6. Which can best describe Zhao Yishen as a carver?A. Modest and hard-working.B. Talented and knowledgeable.C. Ambitious and clever.D. Creative and confident.7. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The popularity of woodblocks.B. A traditional block printing studio.C. A craftsman with a traditional skill.D. The development of woodblock-printed books.CIf you were a superhero, what would your super power be? Would you want to fly or be invisible? Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds? Wouldn’t that be cool?Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer―without anyone else hearing.The device, called AlterEgo, allows a person to control a computer and ask it questions without ever saying one word. When a person wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) signals in the person’s jaw and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words.The device is fairly accurate. In a 10-person trial, AlterEgo had the 92 percent transcription (转录) accuracy. Researchers say that number will increase over time. “Our idea was: Could we have a computing platform that’s more internal, that combines humans and machines in some ways and that feels like an internal extension of our own thought?” Arnav Kapur, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab said.So what effect could this have on communication? AlterEgo can change the way humans communicate with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their computer or mobile phone;instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without breaking in on the conversation. The device can also help people communicate with their voice in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor or on the deck of an aircraft carrier.8. Why are the questions raised in Paragraph 1?A. To ask readers for their opinions.B. To lead into the topic of the text.C. To inspire readers’ imagination.D. To show the author’s curiosity.9. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Questions.B. Computers.C. Signals.D. Devices.10. What’s the researchers’ attitude toward AlterEgo?A. Positive.B. Worried.C. Respectful.D. Unconcerned.11. What influence will AlterEgo have on people’s communication?A. People can apply AI assistants skillfully.B. People will become a good mind-reader.C. People no longer need mobile phones.D. People can communicate more smoothly.DSay “Sit” to your dog, and he’ll likely sit on the floor. But would he respond correctly if the word were spoken by a stranger, or someone with a thick accent? A new study shows he will, suggesting dogs understand spoken words in a clever and complicated way long thought unique to humans.Holly Root-Gutteridge, a biologist, and her colleagues ran a test. The researchers filmed 42 dogs of different breeds as they sat with their owners near an audio speaker that played noncommand words with similar sounds, such as “had”, “hid”, and “who’d”. The words were spoken—not by the dog’s owner—but by several strangers, men and women of different ages and with different accents.In the video above, the dog Max turns quickly and listens seriously when he hears a woman say “had” for the first time. But as other women with different accents repeat the word, he loses interest, indicating he knows they are all saying the same word. When a speaker says a new word, like “who’d”, Max cheers up again, but his attention flags when a new voice returns to saying “had”. Together, these reactions suggest dogs recognize words regardless of the speaker—and that they don’t need any training to do it, the team reports today in Biology Letters.“It’s wonderful—and novel—to see research looking at dogs’ reactions to words that are not commands or requests,” says Alexandra Horowitz, a researcher at Barnard College in New York City. Because of the nature of the test, however, the scientists cannot show that the dogs “understood” what the words meant, Horowitz points out. “But the work clearly demonstrates that dogs are listening to us,” she says, even when our speech is not about them.12. What can we learn from this study?A. Dogs can hear some simple words.B. Dogs can hear words like humans.C. Dogs cannot understand a stranger.D. Dogs know their owners’ meaning.13. What do the researchers do for the dogs in the study?A. Record their sounds.B. Record their reactions.C. Train their hearing ability.D. Train their learning ability.14. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The result of the study.B. A dog filmed in the study.C. An example of the research.D. Different reactions of the dogs.15. What is Horowitz’s attitude towards the study?A. Objective.B. Favorable.C. Opposed.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。

This summer, a marine heat wave hit Florida’s coral reefs. The record high temperatures created an extremely stressful environment for the coral reefs, which are currently also experiencing intense coral bleaching (白化).A coral is an animal, which has a symbiotic relationship with a microscopic algae (藻类). The algae gets energy from the sun and shares it with the coral internally. The coral builds a rock-like structure, which makes up most of the reef, providing homes and food for many organisms that live there. Coral bleaching is when the symbiotic relationship breaks down. Without the algae, the corals appear white because the rock skeleton becomes visible. If theFlorida is on the front lines of climate change. It is also on the cutting edge of restoration science. Many labs, institutions and other organizations are working nonstop to protect and maintain the coral reefs. This includes efforts to understand what is troubling the reef, from disease outbreaks to coastal development impacts. It also includes harvesting coral spawn (卵), or growing and planting coral parts. Scientists moved many coral nurseries into deeper water and shore-based facilities during this marine heat wave. They are digging into the DNA of the coral to discover which species will survive best in future.There are some bright spots in the story, however. Some corals have recovered from the bleaching, and many did not bleach at all. In addition, researchers recorded coral spawning. Although it’s not clear yet whether the larvae (幼虫) will be successful in the wild, it’s a sign of recovery potential. If the baby corals survive, they will be able to regrow the reef. They just have to avoid one big boss: human-induced climate change.8．What does the underlined word “symbiotic” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Reliable.B．Opposite.C．Harmonious.D．Contradictory. 9．What caused the coral bleaching?A．The rock skeleton.B．The microscopic algae.C．The high temperatures.D．The symbiotic relationship. 10．Which is not the efforts scientists made to help coral reefs?A．Transferring coral nurseries.B．Growing and planting coral spawn.C．Researching the DNA of the coral.D．Figuring out the reasons for problems. 11．Which of the following best describes the impact of scientists’ efforts?A．Identifiable.B．Predictable.C．Far-reaching.D．Effective.Scientists at the UCL Institute for Neurology have developed new tools, based on AI language models, that can characterize subtle signatures in the speech of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (精神分裂症). The research, published in PNAS, aims to understand how the automated analysis of language could help doctors and scientists diagnose and assess psychiatric (病) conditions.Currently, psychiatric diagnosis is based almost entirely on talking with patients and those close to them, with only a minimal role for tests such as blood tests and brain scans. However, this lack of precision prevents a richer understanding of the causes of mental illnessThe researchers asked 26 participants with schizophrenia and 26 control participants to complete two verbal fluency tasks, where they were asked to name as many words as they could either belonging to the category “animals” or starting with the letter “p” in five minutes. To analyze the answers given by participants, the team used an AI language model to represent the meaning of words in a similar way to humans. They tested whether the words people naturally recalled could be predicted by the AI model, and whether this predictability was reduced in patients with schizophrenia.They found that the answers given by control participants were indeed more predictable by the AI model than those generated by people with schizophrenia, and that this difference was largest in patients with more severe symptoms. The researchers think that this difference might have to do with the way the brain learns relationships between memories and ideas, and stores this information in so called “cognitive maps”.The team now plan to use this technology in a larger sample of patients, across more diverse speech setting, to test whether it might prove useful in the clinic. Lead author, Dr. Matthew Nour, said: “There is enormous interest in using AI language models in medicine. If these tools prove safe, I expect they will begin to be used in the clinic within the next decade.”12．What is the disadvantage of current psychiatric diagnosis?A．It is greatly related to blood tests.B．It mostly relies on talking with patients.C．It refers to the words of patients’ family.D．It can’t comprehend schizophreniadeeply.13．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The process of the research.B．The tasks of the participants.C．The performance of researchers.D．The predictability of AI language models 14．What is Dr Matthew Nour’s attitude toward AI language models?A．Unclear.B．Positive.C．Doubtful.D．Negative. 15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．AI language new tools used in the clinic.B．AI language tools developed byscientists.C．AI language models treating schizophrenia.D．AI language models diagnosing schizophrenia.Protecting from aboveA deadly asteroid (小行星) heading toward the Earth is a common plot in sci-fi movies.16 An increasing number of space agencies are now taking steps to defend against near-Earth asteroids (NEAs).17Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the China National Space Administration (CNSA), recently told CCTV News that China will start to build Earth and space-based monitoring and warning systems to detect NEAs. 18 In 2025 or 2026, China hopes to be able to closely observe approaching asteroids before impacting them to change their path toward our planet.Making an impactNASA also has its own program for developing technology to deflect (使转向) incoming asteroids. On Nov 23, 2021, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was launched to slam into Dimorphos and change the speed at which it orbits its space neighbor, Didymos, an asteroid approximately 2, 560 feet in diameter (直径). 19Global effort20 It also re-launched its Planetary Defense Office in 2021, according to Electronics Weekly. Restarting the program, which seeks to communicate with space agencies around the world, is due to “the global character of the dangers we all face due to asteroids”, said ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher.A．Plan to protect.B．Taking prompt actions.C．But most people believe this is only an imagination.D．However, this is also a risk we should be worried about in real life.E．They are aimed to classify incoming NEAs depending on the risks they pose.F．The European Space Agency (ESA) signed a deal to make a spacecraft for a joint mission with NASA．G．This will help prove out one viable (可行的) way to protect our planet from a dangerous asteroid.Watching a plane fly across the sky as a young boy, Todd Smith knew that flying was what he wanted to do when he was older.After five years’ training, he finally 21 his dream job in his late twenties-working as an airline pilot.
