We would just sit and talk — sometimes until sunrise. I was so completely thrilled to have finally found that one special person.However, it was not long after our honeymoon when my husband climbed into the tomb called “the office” and wrapped his mind in a shroud of paperwork and buried himself in clients, and I said nothing for fear of turning into a nagging wife. It seemed as if overnight an invisible wall had been put up between us. He just lay beside snoring like a hibernating bear unaware of my winter.When our daughter was born, she quickly became the center of my world. I watched her grow from infant to toddler, and I no longer seemed to care that my husband was getting busier and spending less time at home. Somewhere between his work schedule and our home and young daughter, we were losing touch with each other. That invisible wall was now being hardened by the mortar (砂浆) of indifference.Then tragedy struck our lives, when my husband’s younger brother was killed on September 11, 2001, along with thousands of other innocent people. He made it out okay and spoke to his wife to say he was going back in to help those that were still trapped. He was identified only by the engraving on the inside of his wedding ring.Attending our brother’s memorial service was an eye-opening experience for both of us. For the first time, we saw our own marriage was almost like my in-laws. At the tragic death of the youngest son they could not reach out console one another. It seemed as if somewhere between the oldest son’s first tooth and the youngest son’s graduation they had lost each other. Their wedding day photograph of the young, happy, smiling couple on the mantle of their fireplace was almost mocking those two minds that no longer touched.Later one night, my husband told of his fear of dying. Until then he had been afraid to expose his naked souls. I spoke of trying to find myself in the writings of my journal. It seemed as if each of us had been hiding our soul-searching from the other.We are slowly working toward building a bridge — not a wall, so that when we reach out to each other, we do not find a barrier we cannot penetrate or retreat from the stranger on the other side.4．From the second paragraph, we can learn that the author’s husband _________.A．didn’t show any affection for her B．was fully occupied with his workC．preferred his work to his family D．got tired of his nagging wife5．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．The author’s husband’s parents.B．The author’s husband’s brothers-in-law.C．The author’s husband’s brothers.D．The author’s husband’s sisters-in-law. 6．What can be inferred from the passage about the couple?A．Their brother’s death triggered their reflection on marriage.B．Attending the memorial service worsened their relationship.C．The fear of dying prevented the husband from reaching out.D．Communication was a most effective means to break the barrier.7．Which of the following best describes the author?A．Sympathetic and emotional.B．Hardworking and ambitious.C．Sensitive and sensible.D．Independent and critical.Many of the major supermarket chains have come under fire with accusations of various immoral acts over the past decade. They’ve wasted tons of food and they’ve contributed to excessive plastic waste in their packaging, which has had its impact on our environment.But supermarkets and grocers are starting to sit up and take notice. In response to growing consumer opposition to the huge amounts of plastic waste generated by plastic packaging, some of the largest UK supermarkets have signed up to an agreement promising to transform packaging and cut plastic wastage. In a pledge to reuse and recycle all plastic wastage by 2025, supermarkets are now beginning to take some responsibility for the part they play in contributing to the damage to our environment, with one major supermarket announcing their plan to eliminate all plastic packaging in their own-brand products by 2024.In response to criticisms over food waste, some supermarkets are donating some of their food surplus. However, charities estimate that they are only accessing two per cent of supermarkets’ total food surplus, so this hardly seems to be solving the problem. Most supermarkets operate under a veil of secrecy when asked for exact figures of food wastage, and without more transparency it is hard to come up with a systematic approach to avoiding waste and to redistributing surplus food.Some smaller companies are now taking matters into their own hands and offering consumers a greener option. Shops like Berli’s Original Unverpakt and London’s Bulk Market are plastic-free shops, encouraging customers to use their own containers or degradable bags. Online grocer Farmdrop eliminates the need for large warehouses and the risk of huge food surplus by delivering fresh produce from local farmers to its customers on a daily basis via electric cars, offering farmers the lion’s share of the retail price.There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go in reducing food waste and plastic waste. But perhaps the major supermarkets might take inspiration from these smaller grocers and gradually move towards a more sustainable future for us all.8．Some of major UK supermarkets promise to reduce plastic waste, because _________.A．they want to take the responsibility for environmental damage caused by othersB．they promised to eliminate all plastic packaging in their own-brand products by 2024C．an increasing number of people want supermarkets to reduce plastic waste they produceD．the policy issued by the authority serves as supervision to decrease plastic waste 9．What does the author imply in the third paragraph?A．Supermarkets are still denying that food waste can cause damage to our environment.B．Supermarkets are making every effort to take measures to cut down on food waste.C．Charities are to blame as they only obtain limited access to supermarkets’ total food surplus.D．Supermarkets are unlikely to avoid waste unless they disclose the exact figures of food wastage.10．What do the underlined words “take matters into their own hands” mean?A．Take the risk of completing difficult tasks.B．Deal with problems yourself after others fail to do so.C．Take the initiative to address problems.D．Settle problems in collaboration with others.11．What is author’s attitude towards the major supermarkets’ current action?A．Unsatisfied B．Indifferent C．Favorable D．UncertainImagine accessing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) services with just a tap on your smartphone. What once required a hospital visit — often leading to long waits and considerable inconveniences, especially for the elderly — is now available at your fingertips.The innovative mini-program “Wang She Wen Shan” (Tongue Diagnosis and Dietary Guidance) is transforming TCM consultations. Users can now receive a detailed health report in under two minutes simply by taking a quick snapshot of their tongue. More than that, this AI-powered tool also provides personalized dietary and wellness recommendations.According to the mini-program’s developers, this transformation has been made possible through the seamless integration of the traditional TCM tongue diagnosis method with cutting-edge AI image recognition technology. The program has been trained on over 20,000 clinical tongue images, enabling it to provide accurate and convenient health assessments.Since July 2023, Guangzhou has been at the forefront of piloting TCM services with AI assistance. A research team from the South China University of Technology developed an AI-powered TCM Constitution Identification Device based on machine learning models. Trained by TCM doctors from local hospitals, this device has “learned” to identify users’ constitution typesthrough facial and tongue images and provide personalized health recommendations. By October 2023, this smart device had been adopted in 11 communities across Guangzhou, serving over 12,000 residents. In addition, other AI-driven innovations, such as prescription systems, pulse signal acquisition systems, acupuncture robots, and massage robots, are making their way into public use, bringing a high-tech touch to traditional medicine.Despite the progress made, the integration of AI into TCM is still in its early stages. One of the primary hurdles is the lack of theoretical standardization within TCM. For the same illness, different schools and experts may recommend varying treatment plans.Another challenge lies in the integration of medical and engineering technologies. Although computer applications in TCM date back to the 1980s, early systems relied on pre-programmed standards that often fell short due to the complex nature of patient symptoms. The unpredictability and variability of these symptoms pose significant difficulties for AI’s deep learning processes.Anyway, there is every reason to believe that the integration of AI into TCM will profoundly revolutionize healthcare by making TCM more accessible and efficient. It holds significant promise for underserved areas with limited medical resources. Nevertheless, as the journey is only beginning, it is crucial to acknowledge its current limitations in clinical settings. While AI offers substantial potential for TCM, accurate diagnosis still relies heavily on the expertise of physicians. AI is intended to complement — not replace — human doctors. 12．What do we know about “Wang She Wen Shan”?A．It provides invariable dietary and wellness suggestions for users.B．It requires users to take a photo of their tongue for consultation.C．It has been trained on abundant tongue images of medical staff.D．It fails to function properly without facial recognition technology.13．What’s the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A．A glimpse of the development of AI-driven TCM innovations.B．An introduction to an AI-powered device developed by doctors.C．An insight into the potential use of AI-driven devices in TCM.D．A comparison between different AI-powered TCM innovations14．Who might benefit most from the mini-program?A．Folks in places with few experienced doctors.B．Patients with symptoms rarely seen or reported.C．Physicians with great diagnostic capabilities.D．Senior citizens with difficulty using smart phones.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．AI: The Future of TCM B．Doctors at Your FingertipsC．Modernized TCM with AI D．Integration of AI into MedicinePeople who experience loneliness may assume that they are unlovable, which may cause profound shame and injure self-esteem. 16 We all feel lonely at times just like we all feel hunger or thirst. There is no reason to be ashamed of being human. Here are a few ways to work through the shame and find or reestablish connections.Develop your relationships. You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely if what you want or expect from your relationships is different from what you perceive. 17 A few minutes of honest, authentic human connection can transform how we feel. If you’re accustomed to texting friends or relatives, try a phone or video call instead. It doesn’t need to last long, but it may rekindle a friendship and lift your mood.Look for commonalities. We each have unique ways of finding friends, initiating communication and maintaining our relationships. “If you’re a bookworm, don’t expect your next best buddy at a party.” said Louise Hawkley, a research scientist who studies loneliness. “ 18 ”19 V olunteering is a way to broaden your social networks.
