to talk to．He or she accepts others as equals．A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society，of course，but they do not let their importance go to their heads，and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important．Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride，often without cause，is said to have his nose in the air．There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth．Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth．The expression is both feet on the ground．Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality．He has what is called common sense．He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real．The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds．A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world．Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality； and sharp words from the teacher，for example，can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground．The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground．But the opposite is not always true．Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth．When we have both our feet firmly on the ground，we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others，and our lives are like the ground below us，solid and strong．28．If a person has his nose in the air，he____．A．is confidentB．is easy to deal withC．is down to the earthD．is always self-important and pride．29．What can a daydreamer probably be like？____A．A person full of dreams in life．B．A person with his head in the clouds．C．A person with both his feet on the groundD．A person with a good understanding of reality．30．The underlined sentence"But the opposite is not always true．"most probably means that____．A．the opposite direction is always wrongB．the person who has his nose in the air is not trueC．a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligentD．a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth31．From the passage，we can infer the person who is____ is the most popular kind of person．A．down-to-earthB．standing on the groundC．with his nose in the airD．with his head in the clouds．11、Have you ever heard of a great Chilean poet？He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry．Beloved by Chileans of all classes，he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history．And this year is the 110th birthday of Pablo Neruda （1904-1973）．Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto，he was a tall，shy and lonely boy．He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten．The American poet Walt Whitman，whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table，became a major influence on his work．However，his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing．To cover up the publication of his first poem，he took the pen name Pablo Neruda．In 1924Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work"Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair''．Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love．His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America．He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971．Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative，destructive and forever moving．He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast．"I need the sea because it teaches me，"he wrote．"I move in the university of the waves．"He loved how the sea forever renewed itself，a renewal echoed （共鸣） in his work．32．The underlined word"Picasso"can probably be replaced by"____"．A．poem fanB．most important personC．famous person from PicassoD．freedom fighter in Picasso33．Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto took the pen name Pablo Neruda because____．A．he was greatly influenced by other

works？____A．Social reform．B．Love．C．Political struggle．D．Development of South America．35．The last paragraph mainly tells us____．A．Neruda loved to write his poems near the seaB．the sea gave Neruda vast

AThe Virgin Islands National Park is a tropical(热带的)paradise on the island of St. John,which covers more than half of the small island.It is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south,where the climate is warm all year.The island's white sand beaches and clear blue seas are considered to be among the most beautiful in the Caribbean,gaining reputation and popularity among visitors across the world.How the national park was formedLaurence Rockefeller was an American millionaire,businessman and conservationist.He visited St.John in the 1950s. He quickly fell in love with the island's clean,pure beauty.He first purchased a small resort there, Caneel Bay. He also purchased more than 2,000 hectares of the island and donated it to the government.That donation created the U.S.Virgin Islands National Park.It was officially opened as a national park on December 1,1956.How to get to the parkThe only way to reach the park is by boat.Some people arrive on their own sailboats.Others come in on large cruise ships.Visitors also arrive on water taxis from the island of St.Thomas.What to do at the parkFrom the tropical hills to the blue waters there are many things to do at the Virgin Islands National,Park.Visitors enjoy fishing,camping,sailing,scuba diving, snorkeling (浮潜),and bird watching.Of all of the park's beaches,Trunk Bay Beach is said to be the most striking.Below the clear blue water is a 200-meter snorkeling path. Hawksnest Beach is also a popular place for snorkeling.Near the shore are three small reefs of Elkhorn Coral.The Elkhorn Coral gets its name from its shape.The reef looks similar to the huge horns(角)of an animal called elk.It is a very rare kind of reef.Scientists say it is in danger of becoming extinct.The Virgin Islands National Park is often called America's paradise.It protects St. John's pristine nature,and preserves the record of human history in the Caribbean.Don't hesitate! Come here and put yourself in the paradise!1. What is most likely attractive to tourists when they visit the Virgin Islands National Park?A. Its tropical climate.B. Its location.C. Its beautiful scenery.D. Its activity.2. What can we learn about the Virgin Islands National Park?A. An animal called elk is at risk of becoming dying out.B. Visitors can choose any means of transportation to get to the park.C Laurence's donation greatly contributed to the foundation of the park..D. There is a 200-meter snorkeling path beneath the water of the Hawksnest Beach.3. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A speech script.B. A travel brochure.C. An academic essay.D. A geographic journal.BBoeing’s Starliner spacecraft landed in a New Mexico desert late on Friday,months after its original departure date and without the two astronauts it carried when it launched in early June.The Nasa astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore should have flown the Starliner back to Earth in June, a week after launching in it.But thruster (推进器) failures and helium (氦气) leaks marred their ride. Instead, they will remain at the International Space Station (ISS) for the rest of the year and will return in February aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.their empty seats and blue spacesuits along with some old station equipment.After Nasa’s space shuttles were retired more than a decade ago, Nasa hired Boeing and SpaceX for orbital (轨道的) taxi service. Boeing ran into so many problems on its first test flight with no one onboard in 2019 that it had to repeat it. The 2022 do-over uncovered even more flaws and the repair bill topped $1.5bn.The Starliner finally blasted into space on 5 June from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after unsuccessful launches on 6 May and 1 June. On the first launch attempt,a problem was found with a valve (阀门) on the second stage,or upper portion, of the rocket. On the second,a computer tripped an automatic hold just three minutes and 50 seconds from liftoff. That was later attributed to a single ground power supply fault within one of the launch control computers.Even after it successfully launched,helium leaks continued to trouble the spacecraft. As the Starliner approached the ISS, two leaks were detected but Nasa determined the spacecraft remained stable. What started as an eight-day mission dragged on for three months after the leaks and faulty thrusters raised safety concerns.However, Nasa and Boeing officials insisted that the astronauts were not trapped and that the technical difficulties did not threaten the mission. “We’ll come home when we’re ready,” Steve Stich, Nasa’s commercial crew program manager, said in the press conference in July.4. What does the underlined word “marred” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Underwent.B. Stimulated.C. Facilitated.D. Blocked.5. What do we know about Boeing’s spacecraft launches?A.

While on a trip to England, she posted a TikTok video of herself tasting a kind of poisonous berries she found along a sidewalk. Silverstone, who appeared in the 1995 movie Clueless, said she thought the fruit was a tomato. But when she bit into it and found that it had an unusual taste, she realized that it was not the common food.Plant expert, Jessica Damiano, recently wrote about poisonous plants that look like common foods for the Associated Press. She said the fruit that looked like a tomato appears to have been a Jerusalem cherry.Often sold as a houseplant, all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous.The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says the plant is not only harmful to humans but also to dogs, cats and horses.Eating large amounts can be deadly. Silverstone was lucky because she did not swallow the berries. She was also lucky because the berries were reddish orange, which meant they were ripe. While all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous, the plant’s unripe berries can be especially dangerous.They can cause problems with the central nervous and gastrointestinal (肠胃的) systems.The Jerusalem cherry is not the only toxic plant that looks like a safe one.The poisonous Carolina horsenettle fruit also looks like a tomato. It is also known as devil’s potato to add to the confusion.The Virginia creeper fruit also looks like blueberries, and it can be deadly if eaten.Wild parsnip has flowers like a carrot and leaves like parsley (欧芹). Simply touching it can cause a skin problem. Creeping buttercup looks like flat-leaf parsley. It can cause severe stomach pain,vomiting (呕吐) and heart problems. And Canadian moonseed can be confused with wild grape. However, its taste is so bitter that you would likely spit it out before swallowing it. This is a good thing because eating it can lead to death.If you think you have swallowed a toxic plant by mistake, contact a poison control center in your area or your doctor immediately. There is additional information on the website .Damiano advises using common sense with plants you find in the wild. If you are not completely sure that something is food, do not eat it.8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To present the author’s argument.B. To introduce the topic of the article.C. To raise the public’s attention of wild plants.D. To popularize the knowledge of medical science.9. Why was Silverstone thought to be fortunate?A. The berries she had a bite were ripe.B. She found the fruit she ate was a tomato.C. She had a good knowledge of wild plants.D. The amount of the berries she consumed was large.10. According to the description,what plants can be most harmful to people?A. Carolina horsenettle and wild parsnip.B Virginia creeper and creeping buttercup..C. Wild parsnip and Canadian moonseed.D. Canadian moonseed and Virginia creeper.11. What may be the suitable measure if someone mistakenly swallows a poisonous plant?A. Spitting it out as quickly as possible.B. Making an appointment with their doctor.C. Getting in touch with the local authority instantly.D. Searching for the relevant information on the Internet.DSuperhuman artificial intelligence has played a role in our life. When it comes to playing games like chess, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of humans. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering:mind reading.We are blessed with a mysterious ability to reason the goals,desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people’s actions and the consequences of our own.If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life — to cooperate effectively with us or to understand that a child might run into the road after a bouncing ball — we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people's minds.In psychology, the ability to infer another’s mental state is referred to as theory of mind. In humans, this capacity develops at a very young age. How to reproduce the capability in machines is far from clear, though.One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.Besides, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to emerge naturally from one’s own learning process. Building prior knowledge into AI makes it reliant on our imperfect understanding of theory of mind.In addition, AI may be capable of developing approaches we could never imagine. There can be many forms of theory of mind that we don’t know about simply because we live in a human body that has certain types of senses and a certain ability to think.But we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. Humans can clearly explain their goals to each other using common language and ideas. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI,plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines.Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen. But along the way thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.12. According to the passage,which of the following contexts can AI understand well?A. When asked where an object is, a naughty kid points in the wrong direction.B. When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework,he answers “my dog ate it” .C. When you are treated with a hotpot for dinner, you reply “a sore throat” .D. When a mom tells her kid milk is good for health, the kid drinks it up.13. Which statement will the author agree with most about theory of mind?A. Humans’ theory of mind is far from perfect.B. Humans limit AI’s theory of mind to an extent.C. AI’s theory of mind development has been totally decoded.D. Shared forms of theory of mind result in more powerful AI.14. What is the author’s attitude toward truly self-aware machines?A. AmbiguousB. Conservative.C. Skeptical.D. Approving.15. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. AI’s Theory of Mind Will Define Our FutureB. AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is ExpectedC. AI’s Theory of Mind — a Blessing or Suffering to HumansD. Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI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。

Each passage isfollowed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.A How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments － mostly for entertainment purposes －is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, mostzoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes. Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, butvisitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the s pecies’ name,diet, and natural range. The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs. The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percentof their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of p aying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups tha t work to protect animals’ natural habitats.56. How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?A. UnhappyB. EasyC. DangerousD. Natural57. In the state of zoochosis, animals _____.A. remain in cagesB. attack other animalsC. behave strangelyD. enjoy moving around58. What does the author try to argue in the passage?A. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D. Zoos are not worth the public support.59. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _____.A. pointing out the faults in what zoos doB. using evidence he has collected at zoosC. questioning the way animals are protectedD. discussing the advantages of natural habitats60. Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _____.A. it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsB. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosC. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesD. zoos have to keep animals in small cagesBPoetry Writing Classes OnlineConsider it the caviar（鱼子酱）of literature: tiny eggs with wonderful taste.

It is called Bronner’s C hristmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Thefamily-owned business calls itself the world’s largest Christmas store. The late Wally Bronner started the business in 1945.Wayne Bronner, Wally’s son, is president and CEO of what is now a multi-million dollar corporation. He learned the business from an early age. Some of his best memories are traveling to other countries with his father to find new products for the store.Bronner’s sells more than 50,000 holiday products from 70 nations. Half of the products cost less than ten dollars. Wayne Bronner says the demand for small objects to hang on Christmas trees has expanded over the years. People spend more time, effort and money into decorating their homes with these ornaments, lights and religious scenes. Bronner’s is famous for its nativity scenes which show the birth of Jesus Christ.Michigan has the nation’s highest unemployment rate. Bronner’s has been affected by the recession, too. But not in reduced sales.Wayne Bronner said: “Even though people are spending less, we’re having more people vis it here. And as a result we’ve actually had a sales increase.” Bronner’s success is also linked to community cooperation and investment. Frankenmuth is a town of 5,000 people in eastern Michigan’s farm country. The town was settled by Bavarian Germans in the 1800s. It has kept its traditions alive in buildings and restaurants.Bavarian cultural themes and Bronner’s huge store bring 3,000,000 visitors a year. The town is the most popular place for tourists in the state. Bronner’s business is aimed at a sing le day of the year. But that is not too different from other businesses.“About half of our business is done in the last quarter of the year, in the last three months. And actually when you compare that with most retailers, that follows the same pattern.” Wayne Bronner says the family’s long-term planning and willingness to reinvest profits has developed the company into what it is today. Still, it does not hurt to build a business on a holiday which is celebrated worldwide. Currently,about only two percent of sales are overseas. But Wayne Bronner sees room for growth, especially through the Internet.66. Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland is probably_____.A. a nationalized corporationB. a state-run businessC. the world’s largest storeD. a private business67. Bronner’s mainly sells _____.A. holiday products imported from foreign countriesB. festival ornaments made by themselvesC. festival ornaments during the summer and winter holidaysD. holiday products to tourists from foreign countries68.

Frankenmuth is a modern town popular with tourists69. In what way has the financial crisis affected Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland?A. Many of its staff have lost their jobs.B. Only two percent of sales are overseas.C. People are spending less in Bronner’s.D. The sales of the corporation have been instead of going down.70.

Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Career development refers to the life-long process of continuously managing professional work. The process assists people in defining their career goals and ambitions clearly.Education is the first step in career development because education received in various institutions like elementary school, high school, and university helps in increasing the depth of a student’s knowledge.Career development is also concerned with personality as a person needs to present himself in the best possible way in his workplace to make a mark for himself. Relevant personal qualities are important, such as loyalty to the company, responsibility and so on, since these qualities can establish your credibility and honesty among colleagues.Along with quality of education and personality, career development also emphasizes the important aspects of training. Knowledge learned inclassrooms needs to be applied smartly to doing the work assigned in a satisfactory way. For this, a good deal of training needs to be provided for the employees by their employers. Get as much training as possible! Take any training that is available from your employers.There are many objectives of career development, one of which is identifying your strengths and weaknesses. Your career won’t move in a wrong direction only if you make a concentrated effort of making full use of your strengths and working on your weaknesses. A person understands his worth with the help of career development. Thus career development affects current and future performance of people.Because of the development of globalization, employees may have to work in different places across the world. Therefore, adapting to the conditions that are changing is also one objective of career development. In the absence of career development programs, employees may witness a reduced productivity which will affect their career advancement.Information is another objective of career development. Employees and students must have right information about career planning and various opportunities available to them at the right time to take opportunities and achieve their goals. They need to be aware of the skills and qualities which are essential in a modern business environment.As has been stated above, one really has to take it into account and do a lot in the process of career promotion. But what’s the most important is that those who are going to create a bright and plentiful career future must be struggled to improve themselves constantly over the whole life span.Section B (10 points)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.From bankers to factory staff, employees in the west face the bleak prospect(暗淡前景) of losing their jobs as a global recession starts to bite. For colleagues in the east the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut.Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian firms try harder to keep jobs in difficult times, which will stopunemployment and may help keep Asian economies afloat (能维持下去) at a time of slowing exports.The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for firms to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, leaving some experts predicting Western shift to Eastern flexibility.“In the Confucian（儒家思想的）attitude, the right thing to do is to share the burden. There is the sense of collective responsibility whereas in the west, it’s more about the individual survival,”said Michael Benotlel, associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University.Steven Pang, Asian Regional director for Aquent, a headhunting firm, said in many East Asian companies there was responsibility “to take care of the members of the family and go through the pain together” even if that meant causing losses.US firms from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands. But at the Asian units of Western multinationals(跨国的,化的), jobs cuts will probably be less severe.Japan’s jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kong’s was flat at 3.4 perc ent. But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January.Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals from abroad.81.

She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest; a competition she won last year.As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the con test again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.An enligh tenment came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into mine without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.4．What do we learn from the first paragraph?A.

However, decades later, three young hikers went missing on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite challenges in the inquiry into them.Trail of the Lost was her answer.It’s an absorbing nonfiction narrative (叙事) about the three hikers, including their lives and those of the people looking for them. It also explores the history of the PCT and the rich subculture, practices and even literature that surround it and those who undertake the 2,650-mile journey.The book is a rich multilayered narrative that works on three different levels. The first is the story of each of the three hikers. Lankford offers a biography (传记) of each of the missing men and shows them through the eyes of those who knew them well and those who joined the search.Right underneath the narratives about the three hikers are the stories of everyone looking for them. Lankford played a role in each search but she allowed friends, family and even strangers to occupy center stage throughout most of the narrative. The story looks at the role of missing person Facebook groups in the searches and how crucial word of mouth can be. Many warm-hearted individuals came forth and became instrumental in the searches orprovided valuable information. But Lankford also writes of the many who lied for no apparent reason and confused the investigations.The narrative also shines a light on diverse aspects of the PCT. Lankford, who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and was the first person to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail, knows just how the PCT is physically and mentally demanding. Besides, the book explores threats from mountain lions to people with bad intentions who don’t observe the PCT’s unspoken moral rules, serving as a revelation of the well-known, hidden or ignored dangers of the PCT.Written with a clear, fast-paced, straightforward style, Trail of the Lost is as full of hope and humanity as it is packed with pain, sorrow, danger and tension. Read it and you’ll find more than you seek.8．What led Lankford to write Trail of the Lost?A. Her love for her prior career.B. Her strong attachment to the PCT.C. The stress from the missing families.D. Her investigation into hikers’ disappearance.9．What is presented on the second level of the book?A. Efforts by different people in searches.B. A string of wilderness survival tips.C. Approaches to information classification.D. Respective stories of the three hikers.10．What’s the purpose of mentioning Lankford’s previous adventures?A. To promote her book.B. To make her a celebrity.C. To motivate hikers to challenge themselves.D. To stress the difficulty of hiking the PCT.11．What can we say about the book?A. It targets single youth.B. It’s a romantic novel.C. It’s based on actual events.D. It’s a detailed account of a journey.The idea that we need to eat meat to get enough protein and iron is a common misconception. It ignores the abundance of protein and iron in many plant-based foods. Likewise, while we typically associate omega-3 fatty acids with fish, fish themselves absorb these into their tissue by eating seaweed, which we can consume directly without theconcerns of exposure to microplastics in fish flesh.Indeed, a whole-food, plant-based diet can provide all essential nutrients except for vitamin B12. While modern sanitation (卫生) allows humans to consume clean produce unpolluted by dirt, we can easily and cheaply obtain oral B12 supplements (补充).Obviously, significantly reducing our consumption of meat would carry vast benefits. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death around the world. Eating highly processed foods and red meat has been repeatedly demonstrated to promote underlying mechanisms of cancer and cardiovascular disease, such as inflammation(炎症)and damage to the lining of blood vessels (血管).Mounting evidence points to the benefits of a whole-food, plant-based diet. Studies from 2017found that a vegetarian diet is associated with a 25 percent relative risk reduction for coronary heart disease and an 8 percent relative risk reduction for cancer, with a vegan diet related to a 15 percent relative risk reduction for cancer.Besides harming ourselves, eating meat harms others. Factory farming practices oftenOvercrowding of livestock and workers promotes the spread of disease among both people and animals, putting us all at risk for future pandemics. The overuse of antibiotics (抗生素) to accelerate animal growth and precautiously treat the infections anticipated as a result of living in unclean and overcrowded conditions can promote antibiotic resistance.While national and international action is undoubtedly needed to fight immoral factory farming practices, educators and policy makers should consider the importance of acting as role models for healthy behaviors themselves as well as advocating for policies that ensure better nutritional access and education for others. All of these should not be excuses for individuals to resist changes in their own lives and communities. Societies change only when enough individuals within them alter their behavior.12．The author writes the first two paragraphs mainly to ______.A. introduce a false belief in nutrition sourceB. compare the differences between two dietsC. highlight the importance of nutrition intakeD. show the concerns of healthy diet advocates13．Which of the following logic chains is reasonable according to the passage?A.B.C.D.14．What does the underline d word “entail” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. escape.B. involve.C. balance.D. overcome. 15．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Meatless Diet Is Better for YouB. Food Problems Call for Joint EffortsC. Say No to Processed Meat ConsumptionD. Eatable Greens or Not?

Regardless of the reasons, social comparison plays a significant role in how we view and evaluate ourselves, and how we interact with our world.It used to be that our primary reference of comparison was our local communities, primarily neighbors and co-workers.

Sadly, these comparisons usually result in our feeling inadequate and “less than”.These harmful comparisons also damage our emotional lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety of unpleasant and unhealthy emotions. We feel jealousy and envy for what others have and what we lack. ④________It’s one thing to realize that you compare yourself to others. It’s another thing to recognize that social comparison is often corrosive (逐步侵蚀的) to you in so many ways psychologically and emotionally. It’s an entirely other thing to stop yourself from comparing yourself to others. ⑤________A. We are constantly measuring ourselves against other people.B. Yet it is possible, and it is worth the effort for your mental health.C. Thus, we are now exposed to groups that are quite different from us.D.
