It was a carefree summer day when a father, Steven Poust, was out boating on the St. John’s River with his 4-year-old daughter Abigail and 4-year-old son Chase. The children were playfully swimming near their anchored boat while their father was fishing, smiling at his kids. Suddenly, Abigail got caught in the powerful current, forcing her to release the handle on the boat. Chase let go of the boat to take hold of his little sister, but he found himself caught in the current. When Steven jumped into the water to rescue his struggling children, he was also pulled in.
As they all drifted farther from the boat, the desperate father pushed his son to a safer place and tried to stick with his daughter as long as he could. However, he wore himself out later, and she drifted away from him. The father had to follow his daughter. So the responsibility to save the family was now on young Chase’s shoulders.
Steven instructed his son to swim to the shore and find immediate help. Meanwhile, he would attempt to retrieve his little girl, who was continuously being pulled farther from his reach.
Chase did as he was told. The young boy was swimming against the current, which made it more difficult to swim toward the shore. However, the young boy continued to swim with one thought in mind: to save his family. Chase swam as fast as he could to reach the riverbank. When he grew tired, Chase cleverly floated on his back; at times, he paddled to conserve his energy. Once he reached the shore, he raced to the closest house he could find, knocked on the door and screamed for help. The owners answered and immediately dialed 911.
The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded quickly. They located the empty boat. In the water, they found kids’ shoes, a cellphone and fishing poles floating near the boat. After a 90-minute search, the search crew located the father and the daughter in the water, who had been swept a mile and a half from their abandoned boat.
24. What can we know from paragraph 1
A. They had nothing to do but play near the water.
B. They had a very pleasant time before the accident.
C. Steven was so absorbed in fishing that he didn’t look after his kids well.
D. Abigail released the handle on the boat to seek something new and exciting.
25. Why did Steven count on Chase to seek for help
A. His mental strength ran out. B. His swimming skill was poorer.
C. He had to try to save his daughter. D. He wanted to get Chase trained.
26. Which one may NOT be the reason for their safe return
A. Chase’s intelligence and flexibility towards different situations.
B. The rapid response and efficient work of relevant department.
C. Abigail and Steven’s optimism and never giving up the hope of living.
D. The kindness and warm heart of the room owners.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Steven
A. Devoted and calm. B. Brave and generous.
C. Strict and smart. D. Ambitious and honest.
C
Sharing a bed with a pet at night is a common feature of nighttime routines in the United States. According to a 2021—2022 survey, 43 percent of pet dogs in the United States and 49 percent of pet cats sleep on their owner’s bed. When it comes to the perks of sharing your bed with your favourite furry friend, however, experts are divided.
First, it’s worth noting that the majority of research on the topic of co-sleeping with pets has focused on dogs rather than cats. Mark Fierstein, an internal medicine specialist at NYUL angone Health in New York City, suggests this is because cats may want to play or even purposely wake up their owner. Rabbits or hamsters are also out of the question.
A benefit of sleeping with pets is that the practice may prevent loneliness, Fierstein says. “Often, people who co-sleep with pets report an increased sense of security, companionship, and relaxation,” he notes. “For some people, the dog’s warmth, steady heartbeat, and protective nature can make sleeping with them feel safe and cozy.” This may be especially true of people who are managing trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Leslie Sinn, a psychologist, says according to a survey,60% of PTSD suffers feel calm down if they wake up to see the presence of the dog.
Some research suggests co-sleeping with pets may increase mid-night awakenings for people. “If the owner is a light sleeper, he or she may not do well with a dog or cat in the bedroom,” notes Fierstein. For example, he points out that a dog who snores loudly is not an ideal sleeping mate.
Dogs may also show aggressive behaviour—such as biting. Allowing pets in the bedroom can also expose owners to potential allergens, like pet hair, as well as viruses that cause disease.
28. Which word can replace the underlined word “perks” in the first paragraph
A. disadvantages B. numbers C. possibility D. bonus
29. According to the text, who might be the most suitable one to sleep with a dog
A. A newborn baby. B. A survivor of an earthquake.
C. An old man with a heart disease. D. A young man suffering from lack of sleep.
30. Which one is NOT the benefit to sleep with a pet
A. To relieve post-traumatic stress disorder. B. To prevent loneliness.
C. To get a sense of security. D. To avoid potential allergens.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards sleeping with pets
A. Objective B. Skeptical C. Ambiguous D. Approving
D
Now, a new trial finds antiviral medications, when given soon after a child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (糖尿病), might help preserve those vital beta (β) cells.
Antiviral drugs could be “used alone, or as part of combination treatment, to rescue insulin (胰岛素) — producing beta cells at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes,” said a team that presented their findings at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, in Hamburg. So-called beta cells in the pancreas (胰腺) can generate insulin. But in some cases, an uncontrolled auto-immune response causes the body to attack its own beta cells, ruining a child’s capacity to produce insulin and cause type 1 diabetes. So people with type 1 diabetes rely on insulin injections to maintain healthy blood sugar levels the rest of their lives.
The researchers have been investigating the root causes of the autoimmune “malfunction” behind beta cell destruction for years, and they discovered that low-grade infections with common germs often occur in the pancreatic cells of people newly diagnosed with type l diabetes. So what if these people were given antivirals — in this case, pleconaril and ribavirin — to rid the pancreas of these infections
The new trial, led by Dr. Mynarek, sought to answer that question. The team followed96 children aged 6 to 15 who were all diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the study. The children were randomly selected to receive either the two antiviral medicines or a placebo (无效对照剂) for six months. Mynarek’s group tracked C-peptides levels in the blood, which “mirror the insulin production in the pancreas,” implying that the higher a child’s C-peptide levels on tests, the better their pancreas was producing insulin. According to their findings, while C-peptide levels dropped a full 24% in children who received the placebo, it fell by just 11% in those who got the antivirals. That suggests the treatment helped protect the child’s pancreatic beta cells from destruction.
The researchers concluded that “further studies should be done to evaluate whether antiviral treatment could delay the progression of beta-cell damage leading to clinical type l diabetes.”
32. What’s the function of beta cells
A. To attack the viruses. B. To produce insulin.
C. To cause diabetes. D. To absorb drugs.
33. How does the new drug work for diabetes
A. To kill the germs infecting our pancreas. B. To inject insulin to our body.
C. To help create more beta cells. D. To prevent common germs from attacks.
34. What does the trial find according to Mynarek’s group
A. There was no obvious difference between the two groups.
B. The kids given a placebo show a higher C-peptide levels than others.
C. The kids given antiviral medicines produce more insulin than others.
D. The kids taking a placebo produce more insulin than others.
35 Which is the best title of the text
A. The root cause of diabetes has been found
B. Beta cells could be preserved by insulin
C. Autoimmune response could cause body diabetes
D. Antiviral medicines could help ease Type l diabetes

It was the first day of our new grade. Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily, excited to see each other again after the long holidays. When the door slid open, all of us stopped talking and turned to look. In came our teacher Ms. Sullivan, followed by an ordinary-looking boy,
“This boy’s name is Rafael.” Ms. Sullivan announced. “He’s a transfer student (转校生), and he’s going to be in our class starting from today. Make sure all of you welcome him warmly.”
The class clapped. But I didn't want to have a second look at the newcomer, for he had no outstanding qualities considering his small figure and casual T-shirt.
“Oh, I forgot to mention one thing.” Ms. Sullivan spoke up. “Rafael actually has hearing problems. Normally he would have hearing aids on, but his old ones have just been broken.
His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Rafael insisted on attending his first day of school. So if you want to communicate with him, you have to write it on a piece of paper.”
This single speech sent the whole class up into an uproar (嘈杂). Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Others voiced cries of concern out of pity.
Ms. Sullivan calmed everyone down. “I’d like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers ”
“How can a disabled person be intelligent ” I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom.
It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms. Sullivan's.
“How about you, James ” She asked me. “Is it okay for you to take care of Rafael just for today ”
It is difficult to refuse a request by someone, especially if that person is a teacher. I sighed and nodded slightly. Ms. Sullivan gestured for Rafael to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class.
Paragraph 1:
Immediately, the class became excited.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then Rafael rose and walked onto the platform.

W: Wow! How old is Langston Hughes
M: He’s not alive anymore. He died in 1967 when he was only sixty-five. Ashley Bryan has done a lot of performances of Langston Hughes’s poems, and he wanted to provide artwork for a book of them. When he started out in 1962, he was the first African American to publish a children’s book as an author and artist. He was forty years old. Now, he’s won many awards and has more than twenty books out.

It was a carefree summer day when a father, Steven Poust, was out boating on the St. John’s River with his 4-year-old daughter Abigail and 4-year-old son Chase. The children were playfully swimming near their anchored boat while their father was fishing, smiling at his kids. Suddenly, Abigail got caught in the powerful current, forcing her to release the handle on the boat. Chase let go of the boat to take hold of his little sister, but he found himself caught in the current. When Steven jumped into the water to rescue his struggling children, he was also pulled in.
As they all drifted farther from the boat, the desperate father pushed his son to a safer place and tried to stick with his daughter as long as he could. However, he wore himself out later, and she drifted away from him. The father had to follow his daughter. So the responsibility to save the family was now on young Chase’s shoulders.
Steven instructed his son to swim to the shore and find immediate help. Meanwhile, he would attempt to retrieve his little girl, who was continuously being pulled farther from his reach.
Chase did as he was told. The young boy was swimming against the current, which made it more difficult to swim toward the shore. However, the young boy continued to swim with one thought in mind: to save his family. Chase swam as fast as he could to reach the riverbank. When he grew tired, Chase cleverly floated on his back; at times, he paddled to conserve his energy. Once he reached the shore, he raced to the closest house he could find, knocked on the door and screamed for help. The owners answered and immediately dialed 911.
The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded quickly. They located the empty boat. In the water, they found kids’ shoes, a cellphone and fishing poles floating near the boat. After a 90-minute search, the search crew located the father and the daughter in the water, who had been swept a mile and a half from their abandoned boat.
24. What can we know from paragraph 1
A. They had nothing to do but play near the water.
B. They had a very pleasant time before the accident.
C. Steven was so absorbed in fishing that he didn’t look after his kids well.
D. Abigail released the handle on the boat to seek something new and exciting.
25. Why did Steven count on Chase to seek for help
A. His mental strength ran out. B. His swimming skill was poorer.
C. He had to try to save his daughter. D. He wanted to get Chase trained.
26. Which one may NOT be the reason for their safe return
A. Chase’s intelligence and flexibility towards different situations.
B. The rapid response and efficient work of relevant department.
C. Abigail and Steven’s optimism and never giving up the hope of living.
D. The kindness and warm heart of the room owners.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Steven
A. Devoted and calm. B. Brave and generous.
C. Strict and smart. D. Ambitious and honest.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. A

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了父亲Steven Poust带着儿女在圣约翰河上划船，结果女儿不幸落水，Steven Poust自己努力找回女儿，让儿子游到岸边寻求帮助，最终儿子经过不懈努力找来了救援，拯救了家人的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“It was a carefree summer day when a father, Steven Poust, was out boating on the St. John’s River with his 4-year-old daughter Abigail and 4-year-old son Chase. The children were playfully swimming near their anchored boat while their father was fishing, smiling at his kids. (那是一个无忧无虑的夏日，父亲史蒂文·普斯特带着 4 岁的女儿阿比盖尔和 4 岁的儿子蔡斯在圣约翰河上划船。孩子们在锚定的船附近嬉戏，而他们的父亲在钓鱼，微笑着看着他的孩子)”可知，孩子们在穿附近嬉戏，父亲在钓鱼，并微笑着看着他的孩子们。由此可知，事故前，父亲和他的孩子度过了一段非常愉快的时光。故选 B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The father had to follow his daughter. So the responsibility to save the family was now on young Chase’s shoulders. (父亲不得不跟着女儿。因此，拯救这个家的责任现在落在了小蔡斯的肩上)”可知，父亲不得不跟着女儿，所以拯救这个家的责任落到了Chase的肩上，结合第三段“Steven instructed his son to swim to the shore and find immediate help. Meanwhile, he would attempt to retrieve his little girl, who was continuously being pulled farther from his reach.( Steven指示他的儿子游到岸边并立即寻求帮助。与此同时，他会试图找回他的小女孩，她一直被冲得离他越来越远)”可知，在让儿子去岸边寻求帮助的同时，Steven在试图找回他的女儿。由此可知，之所以指望着Chase寻求帮助是因为他必须设法救他的女儿。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“When he grew tired, Chase cleverly floated on his back; at times, he paddled to conserve his energy. Once he reached the shore, he raced to the closest house he could find, knocked on the door and screamed for help.(当他累了的时候，Chase聪明地在水上漂浮着；有时，他踩水以节省体力。一到岸边，他就跑到最近的一所房子前，敲了敲门，大声呼救)”可知，Chase在游回岸边寻求帮助时能在不同的情况下做出聪明和灵活的行动，这是他们能安全返回的原因；根据尾段中的“The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded quickly.(杰克逊维尔消防和救援部门迅速作出反应)”可知，消防部门迅速做出反应也是他们安全返回的原因之一；根据倒数第二段中的“Once he reached the shore, he raced to the closest house he could find, knocked on the door and screamed for help. The owners answered and immediately dialed 911.(一到岸边，他就跑到最近的一所房子前，敲了敲门，大声呼救。房主做出回应，立即拨打了911)”可知，Chase到岸上后敲响最近的一所房子的门，并大声呼救，房主马上拨打了911，所以，房主的善良与热心也可以是他们得以安全返回的原因之一，文章中未提到Abigail与Steven的乐观和永不放弃活着的希望。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“As they all drifted farther from the boat, the desperate father pushed his son to a safer place and tried to stick with his daughter as long as he could.(当他们都离船越来越远的时候，绝望的父亲把儿子推到一个更安全的地方，并尽可能地和女儿呆在一起)”可知，在船离他们越来越远的时候，Steven把儿子推到安全的地方，自己尽可能与女儿在一起，结合第三段中的“Steven instructed his son to swim to the shore and find immediate help. Meanwhile, he would attempt to retrieve his little girl, who was continuously being pulled farther from his reach.( Steven指示他的儿子游到岸边并立即寻求帮助。与此同时，他会试图找回他的小女孩，她一直被拉得离他越来越远)”可知，Steven在危险的时刻让自己的儿子游到岸边寻求帮助，而他试图找回他的女儿。由此推知，Steven是一个忠诚的人，且在遇到事情的时候能够冷静地面对，并想办法解决问题，所以他还是个很冷静的人。故选A项。
C
Sharing a bed with a pet at night is a common feature of nighttime routines in the United States. According to a 2021—2022 survey, 43 percent of pet dogs in the United States and 49 percent of pet cats sleep on their owner’s bed. When it comes to the perks of sharing your bed with your favourite furry friend, however, experts are divided.
First, it’s worth noting that the majority of research on the topic of co-sleeping with pets has focused on dogs rather than cats. Mark Fierstein, an internal medicine specialist at NYUL angone Health in New York City, suggests this is because cats may want to play or even purposely wake up their owner. Rabbits or hamsters are also out of the question.
A benefit of sleeping with pets is that the practice may prevent loneliness, Fierstein says. “Often, people who co-sleep with pets report an increased sense of security, companionship, and relaxation,” he notes. “For some people, the dog’s warmth, steady heartbeat, and protective nature can make sleeping with them feel safe and cozy.” This may be especially true of people who are managing trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Leslie Sinn, a psychologist, says according to a survey,60% of PTSD suffers feel calm down if they wake up to see the presence of the dog.
Some research suggests co-sleeping with pets may increase mid-night awakenings for people. “If the owner is a light sleeper, he or she may not do well with a dog or cat in the bedroom,” notes Fierstein. For example, he points out that a dog who snores loudly is not an ideal sleeping mate.
Dogs may also show aggressive behaviour—such as biting. Allowing pets in the bedroom can also expose owners to potential allergens, like pet hair, as well as viruses that cause disease.
28. Which word can replace the underlined word “perks” in the first paragraph
A. disadvantages B. numbers C. possibility D. bonus
29. According to the text, who might be the most suitable one to sleep with a dog
A. A newborn baby. B. A survivor of an earthquake.
C. An old man with a heart disease. D. A young man suffering from lack of sleep.
30. Which one is NOT the benefit to sleep with a pet
A. To relieve post-traumatic stress disorder. B. To prevent loneliness.
C To get a sense of security. D. To avoid potential allergens.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards sleeping with pets
A. Objective B. Skeptical C. Ambiguous D. Approving
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是与自己的宠物在一张床上睡的好处以及由此带来的潜在的问题。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“A benefit of sleeping with pets is that the practice may prevent loneliness, Fierstein says.(菲尔斯坦说，和宠物一起睡觉的一个好处是，这种做法可以防止孤独感)”可知，菲尔斯坦说，与宠物一起睡可以防止孤独感，结合下文中的“Leslie Sinn, a psychologist, says according to a survey,60% of PTSD suffers feel calm down if they wake up to see the presence of the dog.(心理学家莱斯利·辛恩(Leslie Sinn)说，根据一项调查，60%的PTSD患者醒来时看到狗的存在会感到平静)”可知，心理学家莱斯利·辛恩(Leslie Sinn)说说，根据一项调查发现，很多PTSD患者醒来时能看到狗的存在会感到平静，结合划线单词后的“experts are divided.”可知，专家们在谈论到与狗一起睡的“好处”时，专家们的看法不一，由此可知，划线单词的意思与“好处”意思相近。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This may be especially true of people who are managing trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD). Leslie Sinn, a psychologist, says according to a survey,60% of PTSD suffers feel calm down if they wake up to see the presence of the dog.(对于那些正在处理创伤或创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的人来说尤其如此。心理学家莱斯利·辛恩(Leslie Sinn)说，根据一项调查，60%的PTSD患者醒来时看到狗的存在会感到平静)”可知，莱斯利·辛恩(Leslie Sinn)说，对于那些正处理创伤或创伤后应激障碍的人来说，醒来后看到狗的存在会感到平静，由此可知，地震的幸存者应该是最适合与狗一起睡的人。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“Allowing pets in the bedroom can also expose owners to potential allergens, like pet hair, as well as viruses that cause disease.(让宠物进入卧室也会让主人接触到潜在的过敏原，比如宠物毛发，以及导致疾病的病毒)”可知，与宠物一起睡可能让主人接触到潜在的过敏原，此处讲述的是与宠物一起睡带来的问题，所以，避免潜在的过敏原不是与宠物一起睡的好处。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“According to a 2021—2022 survey,43 percent of pet dogs in the United States and 49 percent of pet cats sleep on their owner’s bed.(根据2021-2022年的一项调查，美国43%的宠物狗和49%的宠物猫睡在主人的床上)”可知，作者通过具体的数据表明很美国很多人与宠物一起睡，根据第三段中的“A benefit of sleeping with pets is that the practice may prevent loneliness, Fierstein says.(菲尔斯坦说，和宠物一起睡觉的一个好处是，这种做法可以防止孤独感)”可知，菲尔斯坦说，与宠物一起睡可以防止孤独感，并在下文中列举了很多与宠物一起睡的好处，结合倒数第二段中的“Some research suggests co-sleeping with pets may increase mid-night awakenings for people.(一些研究表明，与宠物共睡可能会增加人们半夜醒来的次数)”和尾段“Dogs may also show aggressive behaviour—such as biting. Allowing pets in the bedroom can also expose owners to potential allergens, like pet hair, as well as viruses that cause disease.(狗也可能表现出攻击性行为，比如咬人。让宠物进入卧室也会让主人接触到潜在的过敏原，比如宠物毛发，以及导致疾病的病毒)”可知，作者在最后两段介绍了与宠物一起睡可能会带来的一些问题，综合以上信息可知，作者既介绍了与宠物一起睡的好处，也介绍了与宠物一起睡可能会带来的问题，所以作者对与宠物一起睡的态度是客观的。故选A项。
D
Now, a new trial finds antiviral medications, when given soon after a child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (糖尿病), might help preserve those vital beta (β) cells.
Antiviral drugs could be “used alone, or as part of combination treatment, to rescue insulin (胰岛素) — producing beta cells at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes,” said a team that presented their findings at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, in Hamburg. So-called beta cells in the pancreas (胰腺) can generate insulin. But in some cases, an uncontrolled auto-immune response causes the body to attack its own beta cells, ruining a child’s capacity to produce insulin and cause type 1 diabetes. So people with type 1 diabetes rely on insulin injections to maintain healthy blood sugar levels the rest of their lives.
The researchers have been investigating the root causes of the autoimmune “malfunction” behind beta cell destruction for years, and they discovered that low-grade infections with common germs often occur in the pancreatic cells of people newly diagnosed with type l diabetes. So what if these people were given antivirals — in this case, pleconaril and ribavirin — to rid the pancreas of these infections
The new trial, led by Dr. Mynarek, sought to answer that question. The team followed96 children aged 6 to 15 who were all diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the study. The children were randomly selected to receive either the two antiviral medicines or a placebo (无效对照剂) for six months. Mynarek’s group tracked C-peptides levels in the blood, which “mirror the insulin production in the pancreas,” implying that the higher a child’s C-peptide levels on tests, the better their pancreas was producing insulin. According to their findings, while C-peptide levels dropped a full 24% in children who received the placebo, it fell by just 11% in those who got the antivirals. That suggests the treatment helped protect the child’s pancreatic beta cells from destruction.
The researchers concluded that “further studies should be done to evaluate whether antiviral treatment could delay the progression of beta-cell damage leading to clinical type l diabetes.”
32. What’s the function of beta cells
A. To attack the viruses. B. To produce insulin.
C. To cause diabetes. D. To absorb drugs.
33. How does the new drug work for diabetes
A. To kill the germs infecting our pancreas. B. To inject insulin to our body.
C. To help create more beta cells. D. To prevent common germs from attacks.
34. What does the trial find according to Mynarek’s group
A. There was no obvious difference between the two groups.
B. The kids given a placebo show a higher C-peptide levels than others.
C. The kids given antiviral medicines produce more insulin than others.
D. The kids taking a placebo produce more insulin than others.
35. Which is the best title of the text
A. The root cause of diabetes has been found
B. Beta cells could be preserved by insulin
C. Autoimmune response could cause body diabetes
D. Antiviral medicines could help ease Type l diabetes
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究，该研究表明服用抗病毒药物可以帮助缓解1型糖尿病。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“So-called beta cells in the pancreas (胰腺) can generate insulin. (胰腺中所谓的β细胞可以产生胰岛素)”可知beta cells的功能是产生胰岛素。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“ So what if these people were given antivirals — in this case, pleconaril and ribavirin — to rid the pancreas of these infections (那么，如果给这些人服用抗病毒药物——在这种情况下，是普莱纳尔和利巴韦林——来清除胰腺的这些感染呢？)”可知，新药物是通过消除胰腺的感染来治疗糖尿病的。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段c肽水平和胰岛素分泌能力的关系“Mynarek’s group tracked C-peptides levels in the blood, which “mirror the insulin production in the pancreas,” implying that the higher a child’s C-peptide levels on tests, the better their pancreas was producing insulin. (Mynarek的研究小组追踪了血液中的c肽水平，它“反映了胰腺中胰岛素的产生”，这意味着在测试中，孩子的c肽水平越高，他们的胰腺分泌胰岛素的能力就越强)”以及研究结果“According to their findings, while C-peptide levels dropped a full 24% in children who received the placebo, it fell by just 11% in those who got the antivirals. That suggests the treatment helped protect the child’s pancreatic beta cells from destruction. (根据他们的发现，服用安慰剂的儿童c肽水平下降了整整24%，而服用抗病毒药物的儿童c肽水平只下降了11%)”可知，研究表明，服用抗病毒药物的儿童c肽水平较高，即他们可分泌更多的胰岛素。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now, a new trial finds antiviral medications, when given soon after a child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (糖尿病), might help preserve those vital beta (β) cells. (现在，一项新试验发现，在孩子被诊断为1型糖尿病后立即给予抗病毒药物，可能有助于保护那些至关重要的β细胞)”可知这篇文章是一项研究，研究表明服用抗病毒药物对诊断为1型糖尿病的儿童有帮助。由此可知，D选项“Antiviral medicines could help ease Type l diabetes(抗病毒药物可以帮助缓解1型糖尿病)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

(让我给你举个例子：当你和你爱的人在一起时，你的情绪会瞬间改变，对吧？如果他们感到快乐，那么你也会感到快乐，如果他们感到愤怒或悲伤，那么你也会感到愤怒或悲伤。)”可知，上文提到了情绪的重要性，后文的例子表明情绪具有传染性，故B选项“除非你知道如何控制它们，否则它们是有传染性的。”符合语境，故选B。

This is known as emotional reflection. You must learn to control this. (每当这种情况发生时，你就会开始责怪自己，尤其是别人的情绪。这就是所谓的情绪反射。你必须学会控制它。)”可知，后文提到别人的话会导致你开始自责。说明对方在情感上控制了你。故F选项“这意味着你允许对方在情感上控制你。”符合语境，故选F。

【40题详解】
根据上文“What should be your course of action here It might seem rude when I say this but you really need to hear it. You are not responsible for how others feel! (你应该怎么做呢？我这么说可能看起来很粗鲁，但你真的需要听听。你不用为别人的感受负责！)”可知，上文提到了不必为别人的感受负责，故本句是在说明别人是否需要对你的感受负责的问题。故E选项“这是互相的，别人也不必为你的感受负责。”符合语境，故选E。

67. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was the first day of our new grade. Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily, excited to see each other again after the long holidays. When the door slid open, all of us stopped talking and turned to look. In came our teacher Ms. Sullivan, followed by an ordinary-looking boy,
“This boy’s name is Rafael.” Ms. Sullivan announced. “He’s a transfer student (转校生), and he’s going to be in our class starting from today. Make sure all of you welcome him warmly.”
The class clapped. But I didn't want to have a second look at the newcomer, for he had no outstanding qualities considering his small figure and casual T-shirt.
“Oh, I forgot to mention one thing.” Ms. Sullivan spoke up. “Rafael actually has hearing problems. Normally he would have hearing aids on, but his old ones have just been broken.
His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Rafael insisted on attending his first day of school. So if you want to communicate with him, you have to write it on a piece of paper.”
This single speech sent the whole class up into an uproar (嘈杂). Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Others voiced cries of concern out of pity.
Ms. Sullivan calmed everyone down. “I’d like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers ”
“How can a disabled person be intelligent ” I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom.
It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms. Sullivan's.
“How about you, James ” She asked me. “Is it okay for you to take care of Rafael just for today ”
It is difficult to refuse a request by someone, especially if that person is a teacher. I sighed and nodded slightly. Ms. Sullivan gestured for Rafael to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class.
Paragraph 1:
Immediately, the class became excited.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then Rafael rose and walked onto the platform.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Immediately, the class became excited. Some could hardly wait to tell their seatmates about their holiday trips, eyes shining and faces glowing with joy. Those who hadn’t been anywhere bombarded them with inquiring questions. Enormous joy welled up in every corner of the classroom. Obviously confused at the sudden noisy situation, Rafael turned to me for reasons in written words. Surprisingly, my explanation put a smile on his face. “Any volunteer to share your story ” asked Ms. Sullivan, whose words I set down on paper for Rafael.
Paragraph 2:
Then Rafael rose and walked onto the platform. Greeting us with a confident smile, Rafael shared his story in a magnetic voice, which left me stunned. I felt more ashamed to learn that he ran a website to help children with hearing problems than guilty about stupidly thinking disabled people couldn’t be intelligent. Then his voice was lost in a thunderous outburst of applause. Feeling a lump in the throat, I clapped my hands even more loudly, determined never to judge a book by its cover.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公James开学第一天的遭遇：老师介绍新来的转校生，他长相普通而且听力有问题，由于助听器坏掉无法与同学们正常交流，老师希望能有同学帮助他，而James成为老师的人选并安排这位新同学坐在James旁边。
【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，老师介绍新来的转校生，他长相普通而且听力有问题，由于助听器坏掉无法与同学们正常交流，老师希望能有同学帮助他，而James成为老师的人选并安排这位新同学坐在James旁边。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：Immediately, the class became excited.(全班立刻变得兴奋起来)，所以应该写全班同学分享假期故事。要详细描述同学们在讲述假期故事时的神态表情和动作，但同时要描述新同学由于听力问题对着突然的反应的疑惑以及与James之间的交流等。第二段开头是：Then Rafael rose and walked onto the platform.(然后Rafeal站了起来，走上讲台) 本段应该写Rafeal走上讲台后分享的故事，且故事主题应是Rafeal并没有因为自己听力问题而自卑，反而因此做了更有意义的事情，才能呼应前文中提及的How can a disabled person be intelligent 而出现转折，从而在文章最后领悟到“不可以貌取人”。
续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：
1)高级词汇和短语：bombard with; well up; be confused at; set down; fell more ashamed to; be lost in; feel a lump in the throat等；
2)复合句
Those who hadn’t been anywhere bombarded them with inquiring questions.(句中包含who引导定语从句)
Greeting us with a confident smile, Rafael shared his story in a magnetic voice, which left me stunned. (句中包含which引导非限制性定语从句)
3)非谓语结构
Some could hardly wait to tell their seatmates about their holiday trips, eyes shining and faces glowing with joy.(句中包含非谓语结构eyes shining and faces glowing with joy作伴随状语)
Obviously confused at the sudden noisy situation, Rafael turned to me for reasons in written words. (句中包含非谓语结构confused at the sudden noisy situation作原因状语)
