阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Over the last century, engineers all over the world have spared no effort to achieve the unachievable in bridge design.
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge
No bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China serves as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.
Rio-Niterói Bridge
Completed in 1974, the Rio-Niterói Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niterói across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niterói Bridge is technically known as a “box-girder (箱形梁)” bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 (or more) vehicles per day.
Hartland Covered Bridge
The Hartland Covered Bridge is the world’s longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada’s list of National Historic Sites since 1980. Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of “longest continuous bridge over water” was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of “longest bridge over water”.
1. On which of the following can trains pass
A. Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge.
B. Rio-Niterói Bridge.
C. Hartland Covered Bridge.
D. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.
2. What is special about the Hartland Covered Bridge
A. It is a busy bridge. B. It was built in 1980.
C. It has a roof. D. It is a wooden bridge.
3. Where can you find the longest bridge over water
A. In America. B. In Brazil. C. In Canada. D. In China.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了过去的一个世纪里人类修建的四座有特色的桥梁。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge中“The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China serves as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. (这座164.8公里长的大桥建于2011年，是京沪高速铁路的一部分。)”可知，因为丹昆特大桥是京沪高铁的一部分，由此可知，火车可以从丹昆特大桥通过。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Hartland Covered Bridge中“Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.(虽然这座桥最初是没有屋顶的，但在1921年的维修期间，桥上覆盖了木制材料。)”可知，加拿大哈特兰廊桥的特别之处在于它有木制屋顶。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Jiaozhou Bay Bridge中“The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.(2011年，中国新建的胶州湾大桥被吉尼斯世界纪录评为“世界上最长的水上桥梁”，此前该头衔由庞恰特雷恩湖堤道保持。)”可知，在中国你可以找到最长的水上桥梁——胶州湾大桥。故选D。
B
When Arvin Kuipers, who graduated from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in 2017 and loves Chinese culture, asks his patients to stick out their tongue so he can diagnose(诊断) their illness, many are confused.
Kuipers, 30, practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, said, “In TCM I need to do face and tongue diagnosis. That’s strange for people in my country.” One elderly woman had been visiting him occasionally for advice, but her first experience with TCM surprised her. She had never experienced acupuncture (针灸) or any other TCM treatment. “She came in, and I examined her face and tongue,” said Kuipers. “I told the patient her kidneys were not doing well and that she wasn’t getting proper sleep.” The woman was shocked by his insight and asked if he had been spying on her. “Actually, it was easy to diagnose her condition when I saw the dark rings under her eyes. Her energy levels were also very low at the time.”
Kuipers opened his TCM clinic in September. Most of his work involves performing acupuncture, cupping as well as tuina — a TCM massage that patients in the West like the most, he said. In some cases he also gave his patients traditional herbal medicines.
Kuipers usually makes a cup of Chinese tea to calm his patients if they are nervous about the acupuncture needles. He also explains to them the meridian (经络) system, which is a central concept of TCM, yin and yang, and other concepts. “In TCM, good health requires balanced yin and yang, so practitioners not only pay attention to a patient’s illness, but also to his or her overall physical condition,” said Kuipers. “TCM is also a different culture and offers a new perspective, instead of being a curing method.”
As of early April, Kuipers has treated more than 200 patients, many of whom come to his clinic every week. “TCM does work, and works well. My patients really feel better with it, so I value it, and when my patients feel better I also feel better.”
4. What can we learn from the elderly woman’s story in paragraph 2
A. The elderly woman trusted TCM treatment in the beginning.
B. TCM is very different from the treatment in her country.
C. The elderly woman used to visit Kuipers a lot for TCM.
D. The elderly woman was shocked at her kidney s not doing well
5. Which TCM treatment is most welcomed by the patients in the West
A. Tuina. B. Acupuncture. C. Cupping. D. Herbal medicines.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Why Kuipers’ patients are fond of Chinese tea.
B. How Kuipers explains meridian system to his patients.
C. How Kuipers applies Chinese culture and treatments to patients.
D. Why Kuipers pays little attention to overall physical condition.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To praise Kuipers for his TCM treatments.
B. To stress the value of teaching foreigners TCM.
C. To show the popularity of TCM with patients in the Netherlands.
D. To tell the story of Kuipers practising TCM in the Netherlands.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了毕业于北京中医药大学的Arvin Kuipers在荷兰阿姆斯特丹开设中医诊所行医的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One elderly woman had been visiting him occasionally for advice, but her first experience with TCM surprised her. She had never experienced acupuncture (针灸) or any other TCM treatment.(一位上了年纪的妇女偶尔会去找他咨询，但她第一次接触中医的经历让她大吃一惊。她从未经历过针灸或任何其他中医治疗)”可知，老妇人第一次接触中医时感到很惊讶。她从未体验过针灸或其他中医疗法。由此可推知，中医与老妇人所在国家的治疗方法是非常不同的。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Most of his work involves performing acupuncture, cupping as well as tuina — a TCM massage that patients in the West like the most, he said.(他说，他的大部分工作包括针灸、拔火罐和推拿——西方病人最喜欢的一种中医按摩)”可知，最受西方人欢迎的疗法是推拿。故选A。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Kuipers usually makes a cup of Chinese tea to calm his patients if they are nervous about the acupuncture needles. He also explains to them the meridian (经络) system, which is a central concept of TCM, yin and yang, and other concepts. “In TCM, good health requires balanced yin and yang, so practitioners not only pay attention to a patient’s illness, but also to his or her overall physical condition,” said Kuipers. “TCM is also a different culture and offers a new perspective, instead of being a curing method.”(如果病人对针灸针感到紧张，Kuipers通常会泡一杯中国茶来安抚他们。他还向他们解释了经络系统，这是中医的核心概念，阴阳和其他概念。“在中医中，身体健康需要阴阳平衡，所以从业者不仅要关注病人的疾病，还要关注他或她的整体身体状况，”Kuipers说。“中医也是一种不同的文化，提供了一个新的视角，而不是一种治疗方法。”)”可知，本段主要介绍了Kuipers在治疗病人时应用了中国文化。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文前三段介绍了Kuipers学习中医、在荷兰用中医疗法给病人看病，最后两段介绍了Kuipers使用的中医疗法的效果。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是讲述Kuipers在荷兰实践中医的故事。故选D。
C
The jack fruit is a delicious fruit found throughout certain parts of Asia. But there is more to the fruit than just its taste. When considering the fruit’s English name, it is easy to become overwhelmed with questions like: “Who is Jack And why does he have his own fruit ”
Surprisingly, “jack fruit” isn’t a person’s name at all. The fruit’s name originally comes from the southern Indian word chakka pazham, with India thought to be the fruit’s place of origin. Portuguese explorers who journeyed to this region went on to call it jack, which leads us to the current English name of jack fruit, according to National Public Radio(NPR). Unfortunately, no one called Jack has been proven to be involved at any point in this process.
There is another food, however, that was directly named after a person—the sandwich. In the 18th century, playing card games late into the night became fashionable in British high society. John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, started the habit of ordering pieces of cold beef between two pieces of bread in order to get a late-night snack without having to leave the gaming table or use a knife and fork.
This newly-created snack kept hands clean so card players could continue on without dirtying their cards. The midnight snack quickly became popular among everyday people, and before long everyone was making their own sandwiches. That is how the sandwich was invented and got its name.
Away from the world of food, there are more examples of names inspired by people. Long johns, the warm trousers that keep us warm in winter, are said to have been named after the US boxer John L. Sullivan who took to wearing a similar type of garment in the ring (比赛).
There are many other interesting etymologies(词源) in the English language like these. So the next time you find an interesting name, why not explore its history too
8. What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” in the first paragraph probably mean
A. Puzzled. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Annoyed.
9. Where does the jack fruit’s name come from
A. A place in India. B. An Indian word.
C. A Portuguese explorer. D. A discoverer of the fruit.
10. What do we know about the sandwich according to the text
A. It was named after a popular card game.
B. It was once eaten as a snack in the daytime.
C. It was first popular among the UK’s middle class.
D. It was created for the convenience of playing cards.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To raise readers’ interest in etymology. B. To introduce things named after people.
C. To stress the importance of learning history. D. To explain the effects of people’s names on food.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英语中一些单词的起源以及背后的故事。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文““Who is Jack And why does he have his own fruit ””可知，人们对这种水果的名字存在疑问“杰克是谁？他为什么有自己的果子呢？”，即对名字感到困惑。故划线词意思是“困惑的”。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The fruit’s name originally comes from the southern Indian word chakka pazham, with India thought to be the fruit’s place of origin.(这种水果的名字最初来自印度南部的单词chakka pazham，印度被认为是这种水果的原产地)”可知，杰克果的名字从一个印度词来的。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In the 18th century, playing card games late into the night became fashionable in British high society. John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, started the habit of ordering pieces of cold beef between two pieces of bread in order to get a late-night snack without having to leave the gaming table or use a knife and fork.(在18世纪，打牌玩到深夜在英国上流社会成为一种时尚。三明治伯爵四世John Montagu养成了把冷牛肉夹在两片面包之间点餐的习惯，这样就不用离开赌桌或使用刀叉就能吃到夜宵)”可知，三明治是为了方便打牌而发明的。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are many other interesting etymologies (词源) in the English language like these. So the next time you find an interesting name, why not explore its history too (在英语中还有许多其他像这些有趣词源。所以，下次当你发现一个有趣的名字时，为什么不去探索一下它的历史呢？)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是提高读者对词源学的兴趣。故选A。
D
“I like pigs,” Winston Churchill supposedly once said. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” Whether Churchill’s contemporary George Orwell also liked pigs is less clear. But he, too, surely saw something in them that was lacking in many domestic (驯养的) animals, for it was they who ended up running the show in his novel, Animal Farm. Pigs, then, are intelligent social creatures.
And, like all animals, they sometimes fight. Some pigs tend to be attackers; others tend to be victims. Who is what depends largely on weight. Among pigs, pounds mean power. The attacker might bite, kick or push the victim. Most conflicts end in seconds, but some last a minute or two.
In most animal species fights would be like that. However, many of the conflicts among pigs Dr Norscia, a biologist, observed had interested parties beyond the fighters. He therefore wanted to understand the role of these bystanders in solving conflicts — and what this says about pigs’ cognitive (认知的) abilities.
Since there was usually not enough time for a bystander pig to become involved in the heat of a conflict, though this did occur, Dr Norscia looked at what happened in the three minutes immediately following a fight. Sometimes, he found, the fighters were reconciled with each other on their own. The more distantly related the fighters were, the more frequently this happened. Dr Norscia guessed that relations between close relatives are more secure to start with, so rebuilding friendly relations rapidly is less necessary for them.
On other occasions, however, a third pig stepped in. Sometimes this bystander interacted with the attacker, which reduced the number of attacks coming after. Sometimes, the bystander interacted with the victim. This appeared to calm the victim down, for it reduced anxiety-related behavior.
Social intelligence need not, though, be entirely selfless. Pigs are more likely to step in after a conflict if they are closely related to either the attacker or the victim. This is probably an example of kin selection (亲属选择), which favors the development of behavior.
12. Why are Churchill and Orwell mentioned at the beginning
A. To show their preference for pigs. B. To add some related backgrounds.
C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To present their attitude to animals.
13. What can we learn about pigs’ fights
A. They last a little bit longer.
B. They happen more often in the wild.
C. Pigs with more pounds tend to be the victims.
D. There would normally be audiences during the fights.
14. What does the underlined word “were reconciled” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Looked up B. Made up. C. Kept in touch. D. Figured out.
15. Which of the following reflects pigs’ social intelligence
A. Offering comfort to victim pigs.
B. Forming special bonds with strangers.
C. Adjusting their behavior accordingly.
D. Caring for others with selfless devotion.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了猪打架后如何和解，这证实了猪是非常聪明的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中““I like pigs,” Winston Churchill supposedly once said. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” Whether Churchill’s contemporary George Orwell also liked pigs is less clear. (据说温斯顿·丘吉尔曾经说过:“我喜欢猪。”“狗尊敬我们。猫看不起我们。猪对我们是平等的。”与丘吉尔同时代的乔治·奥威尔是否也喜欢猪就不那么清楚了。) ”并联系下文对猪的探讨可推知，作者一开始就提到丘吉尔和奥威尔是为了引出本文要探讨的话题。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, many of the conflicts among pigs Dr Norscia, a biologist, observed had interested parties beyond the fighters. He therefore wanted to understand the role of these bystanders in solving conflicts—and what this says about pigs’ cognitive (认知的) abilities. (然而，生物学家Norscia博士观察到，在猪之间的许多冲突中，除了打架者之外，还有其他利益相关方。因此，他想了解这些旁观者在解决冲突中的作用，以及这对猪的认知能力有何影响。)”可知，猪打架的特别之处是它们会有旁观者。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中“The more distantly related the fighters were, the more frequently this happened. Dr. Norscia guessed that relations between close relatives are more secure to start with, so rebuilding friendly relations rapidly is less necessary for them. (打架者的亲缘关系越远，这种情况发生的频率就越高。Norscia博士猜测，近亲之间的关系一开始就更安全，因此迅速重建友好关系对他们来说就不那么必要。)”可知，Norscia博士发现，打架者会自行和解，建立友好关系。故可猜测划线单词reconciled为“和解”的意思。A. Looked up抬起头来；B. Made up和解；C. Kept in touch保持联系；D. Figured out弄明白了。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“On other occasions, however, a third pig stepped in. Sometimes this bystander interacted with the attacker, which reduced the number of attacks coming after. Sometimes, the bystander interacted with the victim. This appeared to calm the victim down, for it reduced anxiety-related behavior. (然而，在其他情况下，第三只猪会介入。有时，这个旁观者与攻击者互动，这减少了随后的攻击次数。有时，旁观者会与受害者互动。这似乎使受害者平静下来，因为它减少了与焦虑相关的行为。)”可知，旁观者在解决冲突中起到了一定作用，安慰受害者，与攻击者互动，这反反映了猪的社会智能。故选A项。

【17题详解】
根据上文内容“When you shop smart and get creative, you needn’t spend more than $1 on breakfast, $2 on lunch and $4 on dinner to purchase wholesome, healthy foods.(当你聪明购物并且有创意时，你不需要在早餐上花超过1美元，在午餐上花2美元，在晚餐上花4美元来购买健康的食物。)”可知，上文提到的是其实不需要花很多钱在吃饭上。而空前内容“Here’s how(方法如下：)”则暗示，空处为具体操作方法。选项C“Buy in large quantities and stick to store-brand items.(大量购买，坚持购买商店品牌的商品。)”与上文内容一致，指的都是聪明购物。故选C。

【20题详解】
空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Many chefs use a lot of salt while cooking. While salt can make food tastier, too much of it is linked to serious health issues like heart disease and high blood pressure. At home, you can control the quantity of salt on your plate by seasoning food in other ways, like using lemon juice. The same goes for sugar. You can use smaller quantities of natural sweeteners like honey to add sweetness to your food. Too much added sugar is linked to some diseases as well.(许多厨师在烹饪时使用大量的盐。虽然盐可以使食物更美味，但过多的盐会导致心脏病和高血压等严重的健康问题。在家里，你可以通过其他方式调味食物来控制盘子里的盐量，比如用柠檬汁。糖也是如此。你可以使用少量的天然甜味剂，比如蜂蜜来增加食物的甜味。过多的添加糖也与一些疾病有关。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是在家做饭可以减少盐和糖的使用。选项A“You can reduce added salt and sugar.(你可以减少添加的盐和糖。)”正是本段主要内容。故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sean was a single father of three kids who had just lost their mother to cancer. Shortly after, he had to sell his house to pay the medical bills. To make matters worse, he lost his job due to too much leave of absence he asked for in taking care of his wife while she was sick. Their lives sank into extreme poverty. He had to do part-time work to pay his debts. He never imagined what his life would become. Everything felt hopeless. He continued with his life, earning barely enough money to feed his kids.
Today was a bit different. He went to the nearest gas station. He had an extra $2 with which he could buy himself a cheap hot dog. It was a little treat he would give himself. Though it made him feel a bit guilty, he still wanted to do it. As he walked toward the gas station, he saw a man panicking, saying something to a woman in the car. Not knowing why they were so upset, he continued walking until the man called out to him.
“Sir! Sir!” the man shouted and ran toward him. “Yes Is everything OK ” he asked, confused. “Sorry, sir, my wife is in labor (临产), but we’re out of gas. I had no money on me. Could you help me anyway ” the man asked. His desperate eyes pulled at Sean’s heartstrings. “Well, sir. I only have $2, but you can have it!” Sean said, reaching into his pocket and taking out the bills. “Thank you! Thank you! I can fill up and reach the hospital in time.” The man took the bills gratefully.
“I’m Matthew. Please give me your contact information so I can pay you back.” “No need. I only hope your wife and baby get to the hospital safely.” Sean smiled. But Matthew insisted. Finally, Sean gave him his number.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

Through Sean’s introduction, Matthew learned Sean had been a senior regional manager.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
The following morning, Sean received a video call from Matthew. “I really appreciate your generosity,” thanked Matthew, casting Sean a warm look. “Don’t mention it,” replied Sean, beaming shyly. After knowing Sean’s distressed situation, Matthew suggested, “I’m desperate for a partner now and I was wondering whether I have the honor to have you here.” With a mixed feeling of thrill and gratitude surging through Sean, he nodded eagerly, his eyes sparkling with joy.
Paragraph 2:
Through Sean’s introduction, Matthew learned Sean had been a senior regional manager. As an experienced manager, Sean listed his previous achievements. Fairly impressed by Sean’s achievements, Matthew decided to offer Sean a position on the spot. Several years passed by, with the hard work and persistence of Sean, his family got rid of poverty and moved into his dream residence. Odds might not be in our favor. However, even in those darkest days, we shouldn’t lose our integrity and most importantly, a heart of gold.

Over the last century, engineers all over the world have spared no effort to achieve the unachievable in bridge design.
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge
No bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China serves as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.
Rio-Niterói Bridge
Completed in 1974, the Rio-Niterói Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niterói across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niterói Bridge is technically known as a “box-girder (箱形梁)” bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 (or more) vehicles per day.
Hartland Covered Bridge
The Hartland Covered Bridge is the world’s longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada’s list of National Historic Sites since 1980. Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of “longest continuous bridge over water” was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of “longest bridge over water”.

When Arvin Kuipers, who graduated from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in 2017 and loves Chinese culture, asks his patients to stick out their tongue so he can diagnose(诊断) their illness, many are confused.
Kuipers, 30, practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, said, “In TCM I need to do face and tongue diagnosis. That’s strange for people in my country.” One elderly woman had been visiting him occasionally for advice, but her first experience with TCM surprised her. She had never experienced acupuncture (针灸) or any other TCM treatment. “She came in, and I examined her face and tongue,” said Kuipers. “I told the patient her kidneys were not doing well and that she wasn’t getting proper sleep.” The woman was shocked by his insight and asked if he had been spying on her. “Actually, it was easy to diagnose her condition when I saw the dark rings under her eyes. Her energy levels were also very low at the time.”
Kuipers opened his TCM clinic in September. Most of his work involves performing acupuncture, cupping as well as tuina — a TCM massage that patients in the West like the most, he said. In some cases he also gave his patients traditional herbal medicines.
Kuipers usually makes a cup of Chinese tea to calm his patients if they are nervous about the acupuncture needles. He also explains to them the meridian (经络) system, which is a central concept of TCM, yin and yang, and other concepts. “In TCM, good health requires balanced yin and yang, so practitioners not only pay attention to a patient’s illness, but also to his or her overall physical condition,” said Kuipers. “TCM is also a different culture and offers a new perspective, instead of being a curing method.”
As of early April, Kuipers has treated more than 200 patients, many of whom come to his clinic every week. “TCM does work, and works well. My patients really feel better with it, so I value it, and when my patients feel better I also feel better.”
4. What can we learn from the elderly woman’s story in paragraph 2
A. The elderly woman trusted TCM treatment in the beginning.
B. TCM is very different from the treatment in her country.
C. The elderly woman used to visit Kuipers a lot for TCM.
D. The elderly woman was shocked at her kidney s not doing well
5. Which TCM treatment is most welcomed by the patients in the West
A. Tuina. B. Acupuncture. C. Cupping. D. Herbal medicines.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Why Kuipers’ patients are fond of Chinese tea.
B. How Kuipers explains meridian system to his patients.
C. How Kuipers applies Chinese culture and treatments to patients.
D. Why Kuipers pays little attention to overall physical condition.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To praise Kuipers for his TCM treatments.
B. To stress the value of teaching foreigners TCM.
C. To show the popularity of TCM with patients in the Netherlands.
D. To tell the story of Kuipers practising TCM in the Netherlands.
C
The jack fruit is a delicious fruit found throughout certain parts of Asia. But there is more to the fruit than just its taste. When considering the fruit’s English name, it is easy to become overwhelmed with questions like: “Who is Jack And why does he have his own fruit ”
Surprisingly, “jack fruit” isn’t a person’s name at all. The fruit’s name originally comes from the southern Indian word chakka pazham, with India thought to be the fruit’s place of origin. Portuguese explorers who journeyed to this region went on to call it jack, which leads us to the current English name of jack fruit, according to National Public Radio(NPR). Unfortunately, no one called Jack has been proven to be involved at any point in this process.
There is another food, however, that was directly named after a person—the sandwich. In the 18th century, playing card games late into the night became fashionable in British high society. John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, started the habit of ordering pieces of cold beef between two pieces of bread in order to get a late-night snack without having to leave the gaming table or use a knife and fork.
This newly-created snack kept hands clean so card players could continue on without dirtying their cards. The midnight snack quickly became popular among everyday people, and before long everyone was making their own sandwiches. That is how the sandwich was invented and got its name.
Away from the world of food, there are more examples of names inspired by people. Long johns, the warm trousers that keep us warm in winter, are said to have been named after the US boxer John L. Sullivan who took to wearing a similar type of garment in the ring (比赛).
There are many other interesting etymologies(词源) in the English language like these. So the next time you find an interesting name, why not explore its history too
8. What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” in the first paragraph probably mean
A. Puzzled. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Annoyed.
9. Where does the jack fruit’s name come from
A. A place in India. B. An Indian word.
C. A Portuguese explorer. D. A discoverer of the fruit.
10. What do we know about the sandwich according to the text
A It was named after a popular card game.
B. It was once eaten as a snack in the daytime.
C. It was first popular among the UK’s middle class.
D. It was created for the convenience of playing cards.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To raise readers’ interest in etymology. B. To introduce things named after people.

“I like pigs,” Winston Churchill supposedly once said. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” Whether Churchill’s contemporary George Orwell also liked pigs is less clear. But he, too, surely saw something in them that was lacking in many domestic (驯养的) animals, for it was they who ended up running the show in his novel, Animal Farm. Pigs, then, are intelligent social creatures.
And, like all animals, they sometimes fight. Some pigs tend to be attackers; others tend to be victims. Who is what depends largely on weight. Among pigs, pounds mean power. The attacker might bite, kick or push the victim. Most conflicts end in seconds, but some last a minute or two.
In most animal species fights would be like that. However, many of the conflicts among pigs Dr Norscia, a biologist, observed had interested parties beyond the fighters. He therefore wanted to understand the role of these bystanders in solving conflicts — and what this says about pigs’ cognitive (认知的) abilities.
Since there was usually not enough time for a bystander pig to become involved in the heat of a conflict, though this did occur, Dr Norscia looked at what happened in the three minutes immediately following a fight. Sometimes, he found, the fighters were reconciled with each other on their own. The more distantly related the fighters were, the more frequently this happened. Dr Norscia guessed that relations between close relatives are more secure to start with, so rebuilding friendly relations rapidly is less necessary for them.
On other occasions, however, a third pig stepped in. Sometimes this bystander interacted with the attacker, which reduced the number of attacks coming after. Sometimes, the bystander interacted with the victim. This appeared to calm the victim down, for it reduced anxiety-related behavior.
Social intelligence need not, though, be entirely selfless. Pigs are more likely to step in after a conflict if they are closely related to either the attacker or the victim. This is probably an example of kin selection (亲属选择), which favors the development of behavior.
12. Why are Churchill and Orwell mentioned at the beginning
A. To show their preference for pigs. B. To add some related backgrounds.
C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To present their attitude to animals.
13. What can we learn about pigs’ fights
A. They last a little bit longer.
B. They happen more often in the wild.
C. Pigs with more pounds tend to be the victims.
D. There would normally be audiences during the fights.
14. What does the underlined word “were reconciled” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Looked up B. Made up. C. Kept in touch. D. Figured out.
15. Which of the following reflects pigs’ social intelligence
A. Offering comfort to victim pigs.
B. Forming special bonds with strangers.
C. Adjusting their behavior accordingly.
D. Caring for others with selfless devotion.

Sean was a single father of three kids who had just lost their mother to cancer. Shortly after, he had to sell his house to pay the medical bills. To make matters worse, he lost his job due to too much leave of absence he asked for in taking care of his wife while she was sick. Their lives sank into extreme poverty. He had to do part-time work to pay his debts. He never imagined what his life would become. Everything felt hopeless. He continued with his life, earning barely enough money to feed his kids.
Today was a bit different. He went to the nearest gas station. He had an extra $2 with which he could buy himself a cheap hot dog. It was a little treat he would give himself. Though it made him feel a bit guilty, he still wanted to do it. As he walked toward the gas station, he saw a man panicking, saying something to a woman in the car. Not knowing why they were so upset, he continued walking until the man called out to him.
“Sir! Sir!” the man shouted and ran toward him. “Yes Is everything OK ” he asked, confused. “Sorry, sir, my wife is in labor (临产), but we’re out of gas. I had no money on me. Could you help me anyway ” the man asked. His desperate eyes pulled at Sean’s heartstrings. “Well, sir. I only have $2, but you can have it!” Sean said, reaching into his pocket and taking out the bills. “Thank you! Thank you! I can fill up and reach the hospital in time.” The man took the bills gratefully.
“I’m Matthew. Please give me your contact information so I can pay you back.” “No need. I only hope your wife and baby get to the hospital safely.” Sean smiled. But Matthew insisted. Finally, Sean gave him his number.
