At six o’clock sharp the curtain rises. Two hundred audience members, including the mayor of Reno, Nevada, look to the stage. Dozens of costumed actors break out into the drama—The Lion King. This is not a typical production. The cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. Children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini.
“I see so much of myself in these kids,” says Nasya. “I tell them their current circumstance doesn’t have to be their future. If they are determined they can do anything they want.” She was born prematurely, weighing 1.25 pounds, which was given little chance of survival. But Nasya kept fighting. She had open-heart operation at two weeks old. Doctors predicted she’d be in the hospital for five months. She came home in nine weeks. Her very name (pronounced “Nah-SY-ah”) means “magic” in Hebrew.
Nasya quickly proved a big talent for acting. At six she was spotted by an acting coach. Nasya once told her friends, “I’m going to be an actor. One day I’m going to be a star.” Some higher graders said, “You You’re a small fry. You’re not even pretty.” Later, one popular girl said, “I can play better than you. And if you’re not better than me, then how can you be an actor Give. It. Up.”
Later, she entered the Volunteers of America shelter center. She learned there were more than 300 people living there and many children were even mistreated and lost their confidence. Nasya was stunned. “I was so blessed that I didn’t realize how blessed I was!” she says. “I’m healthy, have wonderful parents, a great home. I couldn’t believe how many homeless children there were right in my own backyard.”
Long after Nasya won the title of Miss Northern Counties Outstanding Teen, she has stayed committed to the kids at the Volunteers of America shelter. At each class she reminds the kids, “Believe in yourself. The world is your stage.”
24. Which of the following can best describe Nasya

I couldn’t believe how many homeless children there were right in my own backyard.”(她了解到有300多人住在那里，许多孩子甚至受到虐待，失去了信心。纳西亚……。她说，“我是如此地幸运以至于我没有意识到我的幸运”！“我很健康，有很棒的父母，有一个很棒的家。我简直不敢相信有这么多无家可归的孩子就在我家后院。”) ”可知，Nasya 在知道很多孩子的遭遇后与自己进行了对比，她无法相信他们的遭遇，因此她会感到很震惊，则划线词意为“震惊的”，故选A。

Her very name (pronounced “Nah-SY-ah”) means “magic” in Hebrew.(纳西亚说，“我在这些孩子身上看到了很多自己的影子”，“我告诉他们，他们现在的情况不一定是他们的未来。如果他们下定决心，他们可以做任何他们想做的事情”。她早产，体重1.25磅，几乎没有生存的机会。但纳西亚一直没有放弃。她在两周大的时候做了心脏直视手术。医生预测她将在医院住上五个月。她九个星期后回家了。她的名字在希伯来语中的意思是“魔法”。)”和第三段的“Nasya once told her friends, “I’m going to be an actor. One day I’m going to be a star.” Some higher graders said, “You You’re a small fry. You’re not even pretty.” Later, one popular girl said, “I can play better than you. And if you’re not better than me, then how can you be an actor Give. It. Up.”(纳西亚曾经告诉她的朋友：“我要成为一名演员。总有一天我会成为明星。”一些高年级学生说，“你？你只是个小人物。你一点都不漂亮”。后来，一个受欢迎的女孩说：“我比你弹得好。如果你不比我好，那你怎么能当演员？放弃吧。”)”和最后一段的“Nasya won the title of Miss Northern Counties Outstanding Teen(纳西亚赢得“北方郡杰出女青少年”的称号)”可知，Nasya 出生后存活的几率不大，但是她没有放弃活下来，最后通过自己的努力实现了梦想，因此她想通过她的故事告诉孩子们(成功的)秘诀在于相信自己，故选D。
C
When it comes to cancer, red meat is often thought to be the bad guy. But new research from the University of Chicago has shown that a nutrient found in red meat may support our body’s ability to fight off cancer cells.
The nutrient in question is called TVA, which is a long-chain fatty acid (酸) that our bodies cannot make by themselves. “TVA in humans is mainly from foods, including beef and lamb,” said study author Jing Chen, a professor of medicine at the University of Chicago. In the new study, Chen’s team collected 255 bioactive substances from nutrients into a database and tested whether any of the substances could affect the immune (免疫的) system’s ability to fight cancer cells. Specifically, the team focused on their ability to activate a class of white blood cells called CD8+ T cells, also known as killer T cells, finding and destroying infected cells and, in this case, cancers.
After evaluating the top six substances in both human and mouse cells, the team found that TVA produced the best results. “TVA strengthens CD8+ T cell function and thus promotes T cell-based immune system response to battle cancerous growth,” Chen said. The team found that mice with a diet enriched with TVA saw significantly reduced cancerous growth. “Focusing on bioactivity of nutrients rather than individual food might be more important, and taking supplements (保健品) with enriched bioactive nutrients is likely more efficient than consuming foods containing these nutrients,” Chen said.
Chen thinks there may be other nutrients that can do the same. “There is early data showing that other fatty acids from plants signal through a similar receptor as TVA, so we believe there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do the same thing,” he said.
28. What might be the general opinion about red meat
A. It helps fight cancer. B. It brings health risks.
C. It is rich in fatty acids. D. It contains no nutrients.
29. How does TVA support the immune system
A. By producing nutrients. B. By killing infected cells.
C. By collecting substances. D. By activating killer T cells.
30. What does Chen most probably suggest readers do
A. Go vegetarian. B. Eat less red meat.
C. Prevent cancer actively. D. Take a TVA-enriched diet.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this passage appear
A. Science. B. Education. C. Sports. D. Entertainment.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现，红肉中的一种营养物质TVA可能有助于增强人体对抗癌细胞的能力。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When it comes to cancer, red meat is often thought to be the bad guy.( 说到癌症，红肉通常被认为是罪魁祸首。)”可知，人们对红肉的普遍看法是红肉可能带来健康风险，故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After evaluating the top six substances in both human and mouse cells, the team found that TVA produced the best results. (在评估了人类和小鼠细胞中的前六种物质后，研究小组发现TVA产生了最好的效果。)”以及““TVA strengthens CD8+ T cell function and thus promotes T cell-based immune system response to battle cancerous growth,” Chen said. (陈教授说：“TVA增强了CD8+ T细胞的功能，从而促进了基于T细胞的免疫系统对抗癌生长的反应。”)”可知，TVA通过激活杀伤性T细胞来支持免疫系统。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“and taking supplements (保健品) with enriched bioactive nutrients is likely more efficient than consuming foods containing these nutrients, (服用富含生物活性营养素的补充剂可能比食用含有这些营养素的食物更有效)”和最后一段中的“Chen thinks there may be other nutrients that can do the same. (Chen认为可能还有其他营养物质也能起到同样的作用)”可推知，Chen 建议读者吃富含 TVA 的饮食。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章主要说明了研究发现，红肉中的一种营养物质TVA可能有助于增强人体对抗癌细胞的能力，属于科学领域的研究发现，因此可能出现在报纸的科学版块。故选A。

【36题详解】
根据后文“That control will come once you identify what is at the root of your anger.

【52题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：这个占地500万平方米的废弃机场将被改造成一个生态友好的绿色生活社区绿洲，这是一个雄心勃勃的项目，官员们希望这将成为未来废弃机场的蓝图。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，cover与逻辑主语the disused airport之间为主动关系，所以此处使用现在分词形式，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Covering。
【53题详解】

【57题详解】
考查名词。句意：日托中心、学校、购物设施、绿色建筑等便利设施将被纳入设计范围。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，facility为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用名词复数形式表泛指。故填facilities。

I believe everyone has a particular childhood birthday that stands out more than any other. For me, it was the year my father’s factory closed down, casting a shadow of uncertainty over our family. I was only a child. Looking back, I cannot recall the exact year, but the events of that birthday will live forever in my heart.
Dad, who had devoted years to the factory, never let on to me that we were having financial difficulties. I knew only that Dad usually worked long hours but was now home more than I had ever remembered. Mom, a homemaker, sought work in the local clothing factories, but jobs were rare. Time after time, she was told no openings were available. With Dad’s poor unemployment check as our only income, my parents carried the weight of our situation. They made every effort to hide the difficult reality from me.
As a carefree child, my mind was filled with excitement and eagerness for my upcoming birthday. What would my birthday gift be What surprise was waiting for me These questions crowded my mind, and I had no idea that my parents were worried about having no extra money to buy me a gift.
One day, when Mom was cleaning the house, she found some of my old clothes. Her eyes shone as she carefully examined each piece. “I know what to do!” she cried, her voice filled with excitement.
The days leading up to my birthday seemed to be no different from usual. But every night after I went to bed, Dad and Mom would be busy at the sewing (缝纫) machine for a long time. Dad designed, and Mom cut and sewed. They poured all their love and creativity into what they were doing, working hard to transform those old clothes into something special.
My birthday finally arrived. After a simple meal together, the moment came to open my parents’ gift. As I unwrapped it, my heart sank. Inside was a dress that looked very familiar, and I realized with a pang of sadness that it was a hand-made present using some of my old clothes. Disappointment washed over me, for I had no idea about the financial difficulty our family was facing. Overwhelmed with emotions, I swiftly closed the door to my room and let my tears flow freely. In the midst of my sorrow, I noticed a card nestled in the gift box, as if waiting to be discovered.

At six o’clock sharp the curtain rises. Two hundred audience members, including the mayor of Reno, Nevada, look to the stage. Dozens of costumed actors break out into the drama—The Lion King. This is not a typical production. The cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. Children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini.
“I see so much of myself in these kids,” says Nasya. “I tell them their current circumstance doesn’t have to be their future. If they are determined they can do anything they want.” She was born prematurely, weighing 1.25 pounds, which was given little chance of survival. But Nasya kept fighting. She had open-heart operation at two weeks old. Doctors predicted she’d be in the hospital for five months. She came home in nine weeks. Her very name (pronounced “Nah-SY-ah”) means “magic” in Hebrew.
Nasya quickly proved a big talent for acting. At six she was spotted by an acting coach. Nasya once told her friends “I’m going to be an actor. One day I’m going to be a star.” Some higher graders said, “You You’re a small fry. You’re not even pretty.” Later, one popular girl said, “I can play better than you. And if you’re not better than me, then how can you be an actor Give. It. Up.”
Later, she entered the Volunteers of America shelter center. She learned there were more than 300 people living there and many children were even mistreated and lost their confidence. Nasya was stunned. “I was so blessed that I didn’t realize how blessed I was!” she says. “I’m healthy, have wonderful parents, a great home. I couldn’t believe how many homeless children there were right in my own backyard.”
Long after Nasya won the title of Miss Northern Counties Outstanding Teen, she has stayed committed to the kids at the Volunteers of America shelter. At each class she reminds the kids, “Believe in yourself. The world is your stage.”
24. Which of the following can best describe Nasya
A. Good-mannered and brave. B. Self-centered and mature.
C. Warm-hearted and talented. D. Well-educated and honest.
25. What does the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Shocked. B. Frightened. C. Confused. D. Impressed.
26. How does Nasya help the homeless teens to build confidence
A. By encouraging them. B. By donating money to them.
C. By acting in a drama. D. By turning them into big stars.
27. What does Nasya want to tell children through her story
A. Kindness matters to stars. B. Talent is crucial for acting.
C. Children need a dream stage. D. Magic lies in trusting yourself.

When it comes to cancer, red meat is often thought to be the bad guy. But new research from the University of Chicago has shown that a nutrient found in red meat may support our body’s ability to fight off cancer cells.
The nutrient in question is called TVA, which is a long-chain fatty acid (酸) that our bodies cannot make by themselves. “TVA in humans is mainly from foods, including beef and lamb,” said study author Jing Chen, a professor of medicine at the University of Chicago. In the new study, Chen’s team collected 255 bioactive substances from nutrients into a database and tested whether any of the substances could affect the immune (免疫的) system’s ability to fight cancer cells. Specifically, the team focused on their ability to activate a class of white blood cells called CD8+ T cells, also known as killer T cells, finding and destroying infected cells and, in this case, cancers.
After evaluating the top six substances in both human and mouse cells, the team found that TVA produced the best results. “TVA strengthens CD8+ T cell function and thus promotes T cell-based immune system response to battle cancerous growth,” Chen said. The team found that mice with a diet enriched with TVA saw significantly reduced cancerous growth. “Focusing on bioactivity of nutrients rather than individual food might be more important, and taking supplements (保健品) with enriched bioactive nutrients is likely more efficient than consuming foods containing these nutrients,” Chen said.
Chen thinks there may be other nutrients that can do the same. “There is early data showing that other fatty acids from plants signal through a similar receptor as TVA, so we believe there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do the same thing,” he said.
28. What might be the general opinion about red meat
A. It helps fight cancer. B. It brings health risks.
C. It is rich in fatty acids. D. It contains no nutrients.
29. How does TVA support the immune system
A. By producing nutrients. B. By killing infected cells.
C. By collecting substances. D. By activating killer T cells.
30. What does Chen most probably suggest readers do
A. Go vegetarian. B. Eat less red meat.
C. Prevent cancer actively. D. Take a TVA-enriched diet.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this passage appear
A. Science. B. Education. C. Sports. D. Entertainment.

I believe everyone has a particular childhood birthday that stands out more than any other. For me, it was the year my father’s factory closed down, casting a shadow of uncertainty over our family. I was only a child. Looking back, I cannot recall the exact year, but the events of that birthday will live forever in my heart.
Dad, who had devoted years to the factory, never let on to me that we were having financial difficulties. I knew only that Dad usually worked long hours but was now home more than I had ever remembered. Mom, a homemaker, sought work in the local clothing factories, but jobs were rare. Time after time, she was told no openings were available. With Dad’s poor unemployment check as our only income, my parents carried the weight of our situation. They made every effort to hide the difficult reality from me.
As a carefree child, my mind was filled with excitement and eagerness for my upcoming birthday. What would my birthday gift be What surprise was waiting for me These questions crowded my mind, and I had no idea that my parents were worried about having no extra money to buy me a gift.
One day, when Mom was cleaning the house, she found some of my old clothes. Her eyes shone as she carefully examined each piece. “I know what to do!” she cried, her voice filled with excitement.
The days leading up to my birthday seemed to be no different from usual. But every night after I went to bed, Dad and Mom would be busy at the sewing (缝纫) machine for a long time. Dad designed, and Mom cut and sewed. They poured all their love and creativity into what they were doing, working hard to transform those old clothes into something special.
My birthday finally arrived. After a simple meal together, the moment came to open my parents’ gift. As I unwrapped it, my heart sank. Inside was a dress that looked very familiar, and I realized with a pang of sadness that it was a hand-made present using some of my old clothes. Disappointment washed over me, for I had no idea about the financial difficulty our family was facing. Overwhelmed with emotions, I swiftly closed the door to my room and let my tears flow freely. In the midst of my sorrow, I noticed a card nestled in the gift box, as if waiting to be discovered.
