“To me,love is the most important thing.What could be more healing than love ”
These words,like lines from a poem,are easy to agree with coming from Robin,who founded the Bumi Sehat Bali Clinic in central Ubud,the setting for the film Eat Pray Love.Now the clinic provides treatment or educational support for over 100,000 people annually.
Giving birth to her first child at nineteen,Robin moved to Hawaii after college,working for several years on a farm,where she taught farming practices and poetry.But in 1991,she received heartbreaking news.Her idyllic life on the farm in Hawaii was turned upside down when her sister,expecting a child in Alabama,died of pregnancy complications (妊娠并发症).
“When my dear sister passed away,I realised mothers were dying everywhere.In countries with increased poverty,some people can’t afford to go to the hospital.What motivated me initially was my love for my sister,but this soon grew into a concern for mothers and children all over the world.” Robin’s feelings for her sister were transformed into a desire to help women everywhere in need.
To ensure that children are born healthy,nutritionally balanced meals are provided for expecting mothers free of charge.Those who lack housing are free to stay as long as it is necessary.The clinic also sees patients of all ages who have symptoms unrelated to childbirth,while providing facilities for language learning and IT education,and annually training over 6,000 nursing and midwifery (助产) students,backed by a scholarship programme.
Just as Robin said,love is to be found inside the Bumi Sehat Bali Clinic.Perhaps feelings of showing kindness toward others and wanting to make the world a better place are the key to a brighter tomorrow.
4.Which of the following best explains “idyllic” underlined in paragraph 3
A.Peaceful.
B.Dramatic.
C.Tough.
D.Troublesome.
5.What made Robin change her career course at first

B.Ups and downs make one strong.
C.Kindness can be richly rewarded.
D.Hard work inspires great respect.
C
(2023·天津第二中学高三二模)
My almost 6-year-old son is currently crazy about Star Wars and Harry Potter.I know he’s young,but the movies and books bring up topics for us to sort through all the time—tough topics.A good chance for me! We read the books together;we watch the movies together.We’ve talked about many things that some parents of a 5-year-old might not talk about,but I want to have these conversations with my son.
Today,it was rainy and when the baby took her nap,I allowed him to watch a Star Wars movie as a reward for being so kind this morning to his sister who was feeling a little unhappy.As I was folding laundry,I said to him,very casually,“Wow,that Darth Vader really makes me sick.” My son chided (指责) me,“Mama,Darth Vader has good in him.I know he’s on the dark side,but he isn’t all bad.” This launched us into a conversation about good versus evil and how goodness can be found in anyone if we only look hard enough.
For the past week,I feel like I have been tested with various examples of people simply not being nice.And some people were rude for no apparent reason.A nurse was impatient with me on the phone when I called for a prescription.Little ears were listening in on all of those instances and after doing my best to be nice on the phone call with the nurse,I hung up and said to my husband,“Wow,what was wrong with her She was so rude.” My boy said,“Mama,we all have a bad day.Be nice to her and she might be nice to you back.” This child teaches me lessons every day,and all we can do is treat people with kindness,as hard as it might be.
The nurse was probably exhausted from taking sick calls and maybe she simply needed a coffee break.I do know that those people were not on their best behavior or showing their best side but how many of us have been in those exact shoes We all act in haste.We all speak in haste.We all do things we regret.And,if we were lucky,we were met with kindness instead of anger in return for our outburst.
My son reminded me today to be kinder and gentler to the people I meet with.I’m going to try harder this week.I’m going to try to smile when I met with a frown.Like he mentions,even Darth Vader has good in him and maybe he just needs a little sympathy.
8.How does the writer react to her son’s recent interest
A.Using it as a chance to express her regret.
B.Trying to persuade him to change his mind.
C.Trying to help him develop some more hobbies.
D.Using it as a chance to have a deep talk with him.
9.Why did the author allow her son to watch a movie Star Wars
A.Because it was a reward for his kindness.
B.Because her son loves Star Wars.
C.Because it was raining outside.
D.Because the baby was napping.
10.What did the author learn from her child
A.How to be rude to people.
B.How to complain about others.
C.The importance of being kind to others.
D.The essential of asking for medical advice.
11.Which of the following words can be used to describe the author’s son
A.Optimistic and calm.
B.Brave and enthusiastic.
C.Courageous and generous.
D.Considerate and sympathetic.
D
The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.Recent studies have found positive effects.A study conducted in Youngstown,Ohio,for example,discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.In another,employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken it a step further—changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse,even unusual functions.These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater.“We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,” explained Michael Strano,a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光) in experiments using some common vegetables.Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours.The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start.The technology,Strano said,could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.
In the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime.The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off “switch” where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US.Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway—a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.
12.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.A new study of different plants.
B.A big fall in crime rates.
C.Employees from various workplaces.
D.Benefits from green plants.
13.What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers
A.To detect plants’ lack of water.
B.To change compositions of plants.
C.To make the life of plants longer.
D.To test chemicals in plants.
14.What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future
A.They will speed up energy production.
B.They may transmit electricity to the home.
C.They might help reduce energy consumption.
D.They could take the place of power plants.
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Can we grow more glowing plants
B.How do we live with glowing plants
C.Could glowing plants replace lamps
D.How are glowing plants made pollution-free
Ⅱ.七选五
If you’ve studied biology,you’ve probably learned about blood types.Or perhaps you have learned something about blood types from social media.　1　 These letters correspond to two antigens(抗原),A and B.People with AB blood have both antigens,those with A or B have only one,and people with O have no antigens at all.　2　 If you’ve had a blood transfusion(输血),you are probably aware that your blood type determines which blood you can receive.Maybe you’ll think that you should plan your meals based on your blood type.　3　 This last concept is popular in Asia,particularly in the Republic of Korea.Someone with type-A blood is thought to be considerate but shy.People with type-B blood are known for being creative but odd.Type-O individuals are considered to be some of the most sociable people.Those with type-AB are sensible artists,but sometimes calculating or unpredictable.
The Republic of Korea is one place where the blood type personality theory catches on.A study released in 2017 suggests that nearly 60% of people in the Republic of Korea believe that blood types serve as an indicator of a person’s personality.　4　
But such theory can also cause discrimination.In the above-mentioned study,about half of the respondents said that they like people with type-O blood best.　5　The general belief was that type-O individuals have a personality that best fits the culture in the Republic of Korea,while AB-types don’t suit such a cultural outlook.As a result,in recent years,many media have stopped promoting the theory.
A.Many factors contribute to your blood type.
B.So,what does blood type mean to you personally
C.Meanwhile,only 6% of those surveyed said they like AB-types.
D.They have a large social circle but are very easy to get annoyed.
E.Or perhaps you think your blood type influences your personality.
F.Even those that don’t agree with the concept are familiar with the idea.
G.Either way,you’ll know there are four main blood types:A,B,O,and AB.
