Text 10
If you are looking to lose weight, going to a gym can help you exercise more. Most gyms have trainers who can advise you on the best activities for your body type. Popular exercises include running and cycling but I think the best one for losing weight is rowing as it works out your entire body from head to toe. (17)
Diet is also a key part of losing weight. Some people believe that they are equal, but I would say what you eat is more important than how much you exercise. (18) The less you eat, the less fat you have to work off.
Cutting out sugary drinks and beer will also see you lose weight quicker. Drinking coffee one hour before exercising can increase the rate your body burns energy. (19)Make sure to drink lots of water during and after a workout. If you are struggling to work out regularly, try and change your schedule to give yourself plenty of time at the gym. If you need motivation, listen to music with a fast beat, not your favorite songs or something you can sing along to. (20) These will prevent you from focusing on the activity.

【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. A
【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家屠呦呦的个人经历以及她是如何和团队一起发现青蒿素。
【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria, and is thought to save 100,000 lives a year in Africa alone.(青蒿素已成为治疗疟疾的重要组成部分，据信仅在非洲每年就能挽救10万人的生命)”可知，D选项“它每年在世界上挽救了10万人的生命”不正确。故选D。
【33题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段“In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease. Her team examined over 2, 000 old medical texts, and evaluated 280, 000 plants for their medical properties. From their research, they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria.故选A。
【34题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段“One medical text from the fourth century suggested using the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever. Tu’s team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect. They then tried boiling fresh wormwood, and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either. Their project got stuck. However, Tu Youyou would not acknowledge defeat. She analysed the medical texts again, and by chance, she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood. She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical properties. Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a substance that worked. After failing more than 190 times, the team finally succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted on testing the medicine on themselves to make sure that it was safe. Later, the medicine was tested on malaria patients, most of whom recovered. This medicine, which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria故选A。
【35题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“According to Tu Youyou, the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort. Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize, she said, “The honour is not just mine. There is a team behind me, and all the people of my country. This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine. It is indeed an honour for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.”可知，屠呦呦认为，青蒿素的成功是整个团队和中医的共同努力。故选A。

As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family's past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother's accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often regarded as uncultured and ignorant(愚昧无知). I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I'm ashamed of it, but I'm more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else——change Emily's accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from，assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature ——Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying(为…辩解) my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don't forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it's important to me.
24. What made the author want to leave her hometown
A. Charm of convenience in cities.
B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice(偏见) against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
25. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily's mother
A. Upset. B Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
26. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily's accent
A. To make herself influential. B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To protect Emily's self-dignity. D. To prove herself right.
27. What message does the text want to convey
A. Hold on to your dreams. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Stay true to your roots. D. Never judge a person by his accent.
C
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are originally scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
28. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A. She used to be a health worker.
B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant.
D. She is an initiator (发起人)of Urban Sprouts.
29. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her.
B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work.
D. There was no space for school gardens.
30. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life
C. Growing Vegetable Lovers D. Changing Local Landscape
D
This year’s Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou (co-winner), whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin (青蒿素), a crucial new treatment for malaria（疟疾）. Artemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and has led to improved health for millions of people. Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year, and about 600,000 die from it. Artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria, and is thought to save 100,000 lives a year in Africa alone.
Tu Youyou, a committed and patient scientist, was born in Ningbo, China, on 30 December 1930, and graduated from Peking University Medical School in 1955. After she graduated, she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. In 1967, the Chinese government formed a team of scientists with the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria, and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers chosen. In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical（植物的） treatments for the disease. Her team examined over 2, 000 old medical texts, and evaluated 280, 000 plants for their medical properties（特性）. From their research, they discovered and tested 380 different ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria.
One medical text from the fourth century suggested using the extract（提取物）from sweet wormwood to treat a fever. Tu’s team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect. They then tried boiling fresh wormwood, and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either. Their project got stuck. However, Tu Youyou would not admit defeat. She analysed the medical texts again, and by chance, she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood.

Later, the medicine was tested on malaria patients, most of whom recovered. This medicine, which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria.
According to Tu Youyou, the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort. Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize, she said, “The honour is not just mine. There is a team behind me, and all the people of my country. This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine. It is indeed an honour for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.”
32. Which of the following statements about artemisinin is NOT true according to the passage
A. It is an extract from sweet wormwood that can treat malaria.
B. It has improved people’s health.
C. It is a great discovery.
D. It has saved 100,000 lives a year in the world.
33. What’s the meaning of the underlined word

A. How was artemisinin discovered and tested to treat malaria
B. What contributions did Tu Youyou and her team members make
C. What was the childhood experience of Tu Youyou
D. Why did Tu Youyou decide to use the extract from sweet wormwood to treat malaria
35. According to Tu Youyou, what does the success of artemisinin prove
A. It is the effort of the whole team and traditional Chinese medicine.
B. It belongs to her hard work.
C. It turns out to be the great luck of her and her team.
D. It depends on the big support from the government.

Maybe you've never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals ——opportunity, challenge and growth.

B. But what about friendship, fun and joy

D. Some camps focus on developing a certain skill or ability.
E. Of course, summer camps aren't all about exploration or study.

请认真阅读以下故事并根据给出的末段首句完成整个段落，注意故事的完整性。
Last Saturday, Jordon was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about seven years old. When Jordon passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You are good at nothing. ”Jordon stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
Jordon was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Mary in middle school. He was often told that he was good at nothing. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Mary asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading the book. A few days later, Jordon handed in his story. But the next day to his surprise, the comment(评价) “well done” from Mrs Mary came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When Jordon read that, he almost burst into tears. That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Mary the next morning. And again he was praised.
Jordon became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Mary to read them and correct them for him. Mrs Mary always corrected them for him and gave him good advice to improve them. One year later, he was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published and became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Mary's encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
