As 17-year-old Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, last February, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached a crossroad, another car T-boned them, sending their black car sailing into the yard of a nearby house, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.
As smoke rose from the other car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” The impact had caved in Norwood’s driver’s side door, jamming it shut. Shaken, but still OK, she crawled out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who'd also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Simmons, wasn't with them. Norwood ran back to the seriously damaged car and found Simmons lying in the back seat. “She wasn't moving,” Norwood told the reporter. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out, avoiding the broken glass as best she could. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.”Nothing. “I put my head against her chest.” No sign of life. “That's when I started CPR.”
If the accident had happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do. But Norwood, who wants to pursue a career in medicine, had earned her CPR certificate just the day before. Kneeling on the lawn and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she'd learned.
She started pressing Simmons's chest with her crossed fingers and breathing into her friend's mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response. And then, after the 30th press, Simmons began coughing and gasping for air. The CPR had worked!
Soon, an ambulance arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital, where she received stitches (缝合) for a wound in her forehead. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I wasn't shocked,” said Simmons. “She will always help any way she can."
24. On a day of last February, Norwood and her friends ________.
A. witnessed a crash
B. drove into a house
C. ran into an accident
D. got stuck in a traffic jam
25. Norwood ran back to the damaged car just in order to ________.
A. practice CPR B. help her friend out
C. open the back door D. stop the explosion
26. Which of the following words can best describe Norwood
A. Brave. B. Creative. C. Ambitious. D. Optimistic.
27. What’s the best title of the passage

The term “Pygmalion effect” was coined in reference to studies done in the 1960s on the influence of teacher expectations on students’ IQs. The studies asked if teachers had high expectations, would those expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies (预言）regardless of initial IQ In that particular case, years of debate and analysis have resulted in the conclusion that the effects were negligible.
However, the concept of the Pygmalion effect—expectations influencing performance and becoming self-fulfilling prophecies (预言) —is widespread. Many people have stories of achieving something just because someone had especially high expectations of them.
The Pygmalion effect suggests our reality is negotiable and can be influenced by others — on purpose or by accident. What we achieve, how we think, how we act, and how we perceive our capabilities can be affected by the expectations of those around us.
An interesting use of the Pygmalion effect might be that suggested by George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion. In it, Professor Henry Higgins takes a poor flower seller from the streets, Eliza Doolittle, and by giving her lessons helps her sound like a duchess(公爵夫人). Being able to speak like a member of the upper classes is meant to open doors and give her opportunities that she would otherwise never have. Eliza finally appears to be a duchess as Higgins wishes. The expectations people have of us affect us in countless subtle(微妙的) ways each day. Like Eliza Doolittle, those expectations affect the opportunities we are offered, how we are spoken to, and the praise and criticism we receive.
Individually, these may have minimal impact. In the long run, however, they might decide whether we succeed or fail or fall somewhere on the range in between.
The Pygmalion effect is best understood as a reminder to be mindful of the potential influence of our expectations. Even if the effect is small, having high expectations in many situations can only inspire others regarding their own capabilities. People’s limitations can be stretched if you change your perception of their limitations. A lot of what we accomplish in life is done in groups. If you want the people around you to have success, you can try raising your expectations. If you expect the worst, you’ll probably get it.
28. What does the underlined word “negligible” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Slight. B. Unusual. C. Important. D. Shocking.
29. What can we learn from the passage about the Pygmalion effect
A. It works better in individuals than in groups.
B. It takes effect only in the field of education.
C. It stresses people’s expectations on others.
D. It can increase people’s initial IQ.
30. The author illustrates the use of the Pygmalion effect in Paragraph 4 mainly by________.
A. making a comparison
B. providing an example
C. introducing an approach
D. presenting an assumption
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B
【解析】
【分析】这一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了皮格马利翁效应这一概念。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“However, the concept of the Pygmalion effect—expectations influencing performance and becoming self-fulfilling prophecies (预言) —is widespread.( 然而，皮格马利翁效应(Pygmalion effect)的概念——预期影响业绩并成为自我实现的预言——却广为流传)”可知，划线词所在的句子与之意思相反，划线词所在句子意为“在这一特殊情况下，多年的辩论和分析得出的结论是，影响是可以忽略不计的。”，由此可知，negligible意为“轻微的”。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The Pygmalion effect suggests our reality is negotiable and can be influenced by others — on purpose or by accident. What we achieve, how we think, how we act, and how we perceive our capabilities can be affected by the expectations of those around us.(皮格马利翁效应(Pygmalion effect)表明，我们的现实是可以协商的，可以受到他人的影响——有意或无意。我们所取得的成就，我们如何思考，我们如何行动，以及我们如何看待自己的能力都会受到周围人的期望的影响。)”可知，皮格马利翁效应强调了人们对他人的期望。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“An interesting use of the Pygmalion effect might be that suggested by George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion.( 萧伯纳的戏剧《皮格马利翁》提出了皮格马利翁效应的一个有趣用法。)”以及接下来叙述的茶花女的故事可知，作者在第4段主要通过一个例子来说明皮格马利翁效应的使用。故选B。
D
It’s a typical morning you wake up, take a shower, brush your teeth, and then stick your arm with a tiny needle. Wait, what Unless you have a serious disease such as diabetes, you probably haven't ever tested your own blood. But in the future, that might change.
The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing. You stick your arm using a supposedly painless, throwaway, blood-drawing cartridges (针筒) about the size of a lipstick. Then you stick the cartridge into a device that looks like the base for an electric toothbrush. A few minutes later, an app on your phone buzzes with updated information, including your current health state and tips on what to eat and how to exercise during the day. “Health is the most important thing we have. So why nottrack it as often, and as well as possible ” says Cor’s company website.
It's true that blood contains a wealth of information about a person's health. Specific test can reveal if a person is infected with a disease or at risk for a variety of problems, including a heart attack or a stroke. But most people don’t test their own blood until a doctor says it’s time. Healthy young adults get routine blood tests about every five years. These tests happen at a lab, where a technician or a nurse jabs a long needle into the arm to draw out several tubes full of blood.
Cor and similar companies, such as Wellness FX, are trying to change all that. They think people deserve access to more information about their own health.
But not everyone is convinced that regular blood testing for healthy people is a great idea. Cor’s system is expensive and may not offer much benefit. “The best-case situation here is you lose your money and then you're reminded to get more sleep and to eat more fruits, vegetables, and fish,” Pieter Cohen of Harvard Medical School told the reporter. “The worst case of situation is that you end up getting alarmed by supposedly abnormal results that are actually completely normal for you.”
Plus, the results of a home blood test might be wrong. It's hard to get accurate results from a tiny amount of blood. One company, Theranos, said it could perform medical blood tests on a finger-prick's worth of blood. But the company was soon stuck in a debate and accused of cheat because its technology didn't seem to work as promised.
What do you think Is monitoring your own health by pinpricks (针刺) the way of the future Or is it better to leave blood testing to medical professionals
31. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Why the home blood testing system should be applied.
B. What can be done with the home blood testing system.
C. Who might use the home blood testing system.
D. How the home blood testing system works.
32. Some doubt regular home blood testing mainly because it might ________.
A. provide people with misleading information
B. lead people to a risk for various problems
C. track people’s private information online
D. cost people a large amount of money
33. What can we infer from the passage
A. It’s possible to have home blood test every day in the future.
B. Home blood test can provide accurate result to cure diseases.
C. Healthy young people needn’t have home blood test very often.
D. The company Cor often misleads people by giving false results.
34 What is author’s attitude towards home blood tests
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
【答案】31. D 32. A 33. A 34. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了家庭血液检测系统的利弊。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing. You stick your arm using a supposedly painless, throwaway, blood-drawing cartridges about the size of a lipstick. Then you stick the cartridge into a device that looks like the base for an electric toothbrush. A few minutes later, an app on your phone buzzes with updated information, including your current health state and tips on what to eat and how to exercise during the day.( Cor公司已经在销售一种家庭血液检测系统。你用一支口红大小的抽血筒插入手臂，这种抽血筒应该是无痛的，一次性的。然后你把墨盒插入一个看起来像电动牙刷底座的装置中。几分钟后，你手机上的一个应用程序就会为你提供更新的信息，包括你当前的健康状况，以及关于白天吃什么和如何锻炼的提示。)”可知，文章第二段主要讲述了家庭血液检测系统是如何工作的。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Plus, the results of a home blood test might be wrong. It's hard to get accurate results from a tiny amount of blood.( 另外，家庭血检的结果可能是错误的。从少量血液中很难得到准确的结果。)”可知，一些人怀疑定期的家庭血液检测，主要是因为它可能会给人们提供误导信息。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“But in the future, that might change.( 但在未来，这种情况可能会改变。)”和文章第二段“The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing.( Cor公司已经在销售一种家庭血液检测系统。)”可推知，将来可以每天在家验血。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“It's true that blood contains a wealth of information about a person's health. Specific test can reveal if a person is infected with a disease or at risk for a variety of problems, including a heart attack or a stroke.( 的确，血液中含有关于一个人健康的丰富信息。特定的测试可以揭示一个人是否感染了某种疾病，或者是否存在各种问题的风险，包括心脏病发作或中风。)”可知，作者认为验血能够揭示一些疾病；根据文章第五段“But not everyone is convinced that regular blood testing for healthy people is a great idea.( 但并不是每个人都相信对健康人进行定期血液检测是个好主意。)”和文章第六段“Plus, the results of a home blood test might be wrong.( 另外，家庭血检的结果可能是错误的。)”可知，作者又提出了家庭验血的不利之处。由此可知，作者对家庭血检持客观态度。故选D。

Adequate (充足的) sleep is essential for maintaining good physical and mental health. Now, new research has revealed that good health also depends on sleep schedules. In fact, waking up an hour earlier is generally found to help prevent or fight against major depression.
This discovery was made in a study conducted by researchers from the University of Colorado in 2021. They found that waking up an hour earlier helps people who usually get up later improve their mood. ____35____
This research adds to other similar studies which suggested that early risers tend to be healthier. At the same time, the fact that waking up an hour earlier improves the mood is associated with enjoying more hours of sunshine to a large extent.
The study started from the assumption that if people go to bed an hour earlier, they'll also wake up an hour earlier. Based on this idea, the researchers came to the conclusion that if people who go to bed at 3 am, decide to go to bed at 2 am, their risk of suffering from depression is reduced by 23 percent. ____36____
____37____ Generally they assumed that it's because daylight generates a large amount of hormonal (荷尔蒙的) impacts that affect mood. However, experts do not rule out (排除) the idea that non-early risers have a certain mismatch with social rhythms. This is because we live in a society that focuses more on daytime activities. ____38____ In fact, being a night owl effectively means giving up a "normal life".
However, the study indicates that all of this is assumption. ____39____ In this way, they can continue to work out the reasons why waking up an hour earlier can have such an impact on depression.
A. The experts, though, didn't fully understand the reasons.
B. It can also reduce the risk of developing major depression.
C. However, waking up one hour earlier causes some problems.
D. For this reason, experts stress the need for new and extensive research.
E. Sometimes they become energetic the next day when they have enough sleep.
F. If they went to bed at 1 am, the risk reduction could be as much as 40 percent.
G. Therefore not keeping with that social rhythm can cause certain feelings of inadequacy.
【答案】35. B 36. F 37. A 38. G 39. D

【39题详解】
根据上文“However, the study indicates that all of this is assumption.(然而，研究表明，所有这些都是假设。)”可知，上文提到的都是假设，因此需要更广泛的研究。D项：For this reason, experts stress the need for new and extensive research.( 由于这个原因，专家们强调需要新的和广泛的研究。)符合语境。故选D。

We all know how to enjoy our food --- a snack or a ten-course meal. However, have you thought of what happens after a dish has been served to the dinner The ideal picture would be this: the chef sees empty plates returned to the kitchen after the meal. Sadly, this is not a common sight. Instead, you always find a mountain of leftovers in the waste bins after dinner.
The Environmental Club is aware of this “crime” being committed here, too. The proof is in the canteen waste bins. You can see unfinished food there and on plates left on tables almost every day. This irresponsible deed cannot be forgiven. It reflects that little thought has been put in preventing food waste.
Let’s learn from a Michelin-star chef who says that he will always respect the fish he cooks. Why Simply because he recognizes the sacrifices and dangers which the fisherman constantly faces in order to supply the fish to him. Therefore, by not wasting any part of the fish, and by cooking excellently every time, the chef is appreciating the fisherman’s efforts.
Similarly, we should respect and appreciate our food more. Just think of the poor and homeless people who have not eaten for days due to a war or a natural disaster that may have wiped out homes and families. Wouldn’t it be good if we shared our food, instead of throwing away what we can’t finish
There are also some non-profit organizations, like “The Soup Kitchen”, “Food From the Heart” distribute (分配) free food to low-income families. They have volunteers collecting donations in cash and distributing bags of food.
However, these are far to reduce food waste. It is hopeful to see every one playing a part to stop waste, respect food, and share the joy of living well through giving food to those in need.

As 17-year-old Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, last February, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached a crossroad, another car T-boned them, sending their black car sailing into the yard of a nearby house, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.
As smoke rose from the other car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” The impact had caved in Norwood’s driver’s side door, jamming it shut. Shaken, but still OK, she crawled out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who'd also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Simmons, wasn't with them. Norwood ran back to the seriously damaged car and found Simmons lying in the back seat. “She wasn't moving,” Norwood told the reporter. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out, avoiding the broken glass as best she could. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.”Nothing. “I put my head against her chest.” No sign of life. “That's when I started CPR.”
If the accident had happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do. But Norwood, who wants to pursue a career in medicine, had earned her CPR certificate just the day before. Kneeling on the lawn and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she'd learned.
She started pressing Simmons's chest with her crossed fingers and breathing into her friend's mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response. And then, after the 30th press, Simmons began coughing and gasping for air. The CPR had worked!
Soon, an ambulance arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital, where she received stitches (缝合) for a wound in her forehead. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I wasn't shocked,” said Simmons. “She will always help any way she can."
24. On a day of last February, Norwood and her friends ________.
A. witnessed a crash
B. drove into a house
C. ran into an accident
D. got stuck in a traffic jam
25. Norwood ran back to the damaged car just in order to ________.

The term “Pygmalion effect” was coined in reference to studies done in the 1960s on the influence of teacher expectations on students’ IQs. The studies asked if teachers had high expectations, would those expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies (预言）regardless of initial IQ In that particular case, years of debate and analysis have resulted in the conclusion that the effects were negligible.
However, the concept of the Pygmalion effect—expectations influencing performance and becoming self-fulfilling prophecies (预言) —is widespread. Many people have stories of achieving something just because someone had especially high expectations of them.
The Pygmalion effect suggests our reality is negotiable and can be influenced by others — on purpose or by accident. What we achieve, how we think, how we act, and how we perceive our capabilities can be affected by the expectations of those around us.
An interesting use of the Pygmalion effect might be that suggested by George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion. In it, Professor Henry Higgins takes a poor flower seller from the streets, Eliza Doolittle, and by giving her lessons helps her sound like a duchess(公爵夫人). Being able to speak like a member of the upper classes is meant to open doors and give her opportunities that she would otherwise never have. Eliza finally appears to be a duchess as Higgins wishes. The expectations people have of us affect us in countless subtle(微妙的) ways each day. Like Eliza Doolittle, those expectations affect the opportunities we are offered, how we are spoken to, and the praise and criticism we receive.
Individually, these may have minimal impact. In the long run, however, they might decide whether we succeed or fail or fall somewhere on the range in between.
The Pygmalion effect is best understood as a reminder to be mindful of the potential influence of our expectations. Even if the effect is small, having high expectations in many situations can only inspire others regarding their own capabilities. People’s limitations can be stretched if you change your perception of their limitations. A lot of what we accomplish in life is done in groups. If you want the people around you to have success, you can try raising your expectations. If you expect the worst, you’ll probably get it.
28. What does the underlined word “negligible” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Slight. B. Unusual. C. Important. D. Shocking.
29. What can we learn from the passage about the Pygmalion effect
A. It works better in individuals than in groups.
B. It takes effect only in the field of education.
C. It stresses people’s expectations on others.
D. It can increase people’s initial IQ.
30. The author illustrates the use of the Pygmalion effect in Paragraph 4 mainly by________.
A. making a comparison
B. providing an example
C. introducing an approach
D. presenting an assumption
D
It’s a typical morning you wake up, take a shower, brush your teeth, and then stick your arm with a tiny needle. Wait, what Unless you have a serious disease such as diabetes, you probably haven't ever tested your own blood. But in the future, that might change.
The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing. You stick your arm using a supposedly painless, throwaway, blood-drawing cartridges (针筒) about the size of a lipstick. Then you stick the cartridge into a device that looks like the base for an electric toothbrush. A few minutes later, an app on your phone buzzes with updated information, including your current health state and tips on what to eat and how to exercise during the day. “Health is the most important thing we have. So why nottrack it as often, and as well as possible ” says Cor’s company website.
It's true that blood contains a wealth of information about a person's health. Specific test can reveal if a person is infected with a disease or at risk for a variety of problems, including a heart attack or a stroke. But most people don’t test their own blood until a doctor says it’s time. Healthy young adults get routine blood tests about every five years. These tests happen at a lab, where a technician or a nurse jabs a long needle into the arm to draw out several tubes full of blood.
Cor and similar companies, such as Wellness FX, are trying to change all that. They think people deserve access to more information about their own health.
But not everyone is convinced that regular blood testing for healthy people is a great idea. Cor’s system is expensive and may not offer much benefit. “The best-case situation here is you lose your money and then you're reminded to get more sleep and to eat more fruits, vegetables, and fish,” Pieter Cohen of Harvard Medical School told the reporter. “The worst case of situation is that you end up getting alarmed by supposedly abnormal results that are actually completely normal for you.”
Plus, the results of a home blood test might be wrong. It's hard to get accurate results from a tiny amount of blood. One company, Theranos, said it could perform medical blood tests on a finger-prick's worth of blood. But the company was soon stuck in a debate and accused of cheat because its technology didn't seem to work as promised.
What do you think Is monitoring your own health by pinpricks (针刺) the way of the future Or is it better to leave blood testing to medical professionals
31. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Why the home blood testing system should be applied.
B. What can be done with the home blood testing system.
C. Who might use the home blood testing system.
D. How the home blood testing system works.
32. Some doubt regular home blood testing mainly because it might ________.
A. provide people with misleading information
B. lead people to a risk for various problems
C. track people’s private information online
D. cost people a large amount of money
33. What can we infer from the passage
A. It’s possible to have home blood test every day in the future.
B. Home blood test can provide accurate result to cure diseases.
C. Healthy young people needn’t have home blood test very often.
D. The company Cor often misleads people by giving false results.
34. What is author’s attitude towards home blood tests
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
