A small study out of Skidmore College examined the advantages of morning vs, evening exercise for both women and men. Paul, professor for health at Skidmore, led the study.
“We had the groups divided into evening and morning groups,” he says. “We found women and men answered differently to different types of exercise depending on the time of the day, which surprised us.”
The study showed that for women who want to lower blood pressure (血压), the risk of heart disease or reduce fat, morning exercise works best. Those women hoping for upper body muscle (肌肉) gains or mood (心情) improvement should consider evening exercise. For the men, the findings were somewhat different: Evening exercise lowers blood pressure, the risk of heart disease, and feelings of tiredness. But similar to women, they burn more fat with morning exercise.
“For many people, the best time to exercise will depend on their chronotype,” says Heisz, author of Move the Body, Heal the Mind.
“Chronotype is your body’s natural habit to sleep at a certain time—it’s what decides whether you’re a night owl or an early bird. For the 25% of the population that considers themselves a night owl, getting both enough sleep and enough exercise can be difficult,” adds Heisz.
He continues, “Sleep—which provides your body the necessary time to recover (恢复) and make gains from exercise—should always be the first choice. When it comes to exercise, regardless of research on the advantages of certain exercises at particular times of the day, your results will not be good if it doesn’t allow enough time for sleep.”
4. What can women get by doing evening exercise according to the study
A. A fat loss.
B. A good mood.
C. A lower blood pressure.
D. A smaller risk of heart disease.
5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5
A. Give an example. B. Tell the difference.
C. Do an experiment. D. Explain a term.
6. What does Heisz think is important to achieve good results of exercise
A. Enough sleep. B. Low-fat food.
C. Plenty of water. D. Lots of exercise.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. A Night Owl or An Early Bird
B. Why Fitness Plan Being Important
C. How to Change Your Exercise Time
D. The Best Time of a Day to Exercise
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文讲述了一项关于早晚锻炼对女性和男性不同的受益，研究表明对于男性和女性根据需求不同最佳锻炼时间不同。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Those women hoping for upper body muscle (肌肉) gains or mood (心情) improvement should consider evening exercise.(那些希望增加上身肌肉或改善情绪的女性应该考虑晚上锻炼)”可知，根据这项研究，女性可以通过晚上锻炼改善情绪，变得情绪好。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段内容““Chronotype is your body’s natural habit to sleep at a certain time—it’s what decides whether you’re a night owl or an early bird. For the 25% of the population that considers themselves a night owl, getting both enough sleep and enough exercise can be difficult,” adds Heisz.(“生物钟是你身体在特定时间睡觉的自然习惯，它决定了你是夜猫子还是早起鸟。对于25%认为自己是夜猫子的人来说，获得足够的睡眠和足够的锻炼是很困难的，”海兹补充道)”可知，在本段作者解释了一个术语——生物钟。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“When it comes to exercise, regardless of research on the advantages of certain exercises at particular times of the day, your results will not be good if it doesn’t allow enough time for sleep.(说到运动，不管研究表明在一天中的特定时间进行某些运动有什么好处，如果没有足够的睡眠时间，你的结果都不会好)”可知，海兹认为要达到良好的运动效果，足够的睡眠是重要的。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“A small study out of Skidmore College examined the advantages of morning vs, evening exercise for both women and men. ( 斯基德莫尔学院的一项小型研究调查了早晚锻炼对女性和男性的好处)”和第三段的“The study showed that for women who want to lower blood pressure (血压), the risk of heart disease or reduce fat, morning exercise works best. Those women hoping for upper body muscle (肌肉) gains or mood (心情) improvement should consider evening exercise. For the men, the findings were somewhat different: Evening exercise lowers blood pressure, the risk of heart disease, and feelings of tiredness. But similar to women, they burn more fat with morning exercise.(研究表明，对于想要降低血压、心脏病风险或减少脂肪的女性来说，晨练效果最好。那些希望增加上身肌肉或改善情绪的女性应该考虑晚上锻炼。对于男性来说，研究结果有些不同：晚上锻炼可以降低血压、患心脏病的风险和疲劳感。但与女性相似的是，他们通过晨练燃烧更多的脂肪)”可知，本文讲述了一项关于早晚锻炼对女性和男性不同的受益，研究表明对于男性和女性根据需求不同最佳锻炼时间不同。因此推断D项“一天中锻炼的最佳时间”为最佳标题。故选D。
C
Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher I do, mine. Her name was Mrs. White.
I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! The scrawl (潦草的笔迹) in that worried my mother, so one day when she met Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes. Why she never red-pencilled in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait...” What my mother gave me was the gist of what she could remember. But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that.
And it occurs to me that if Mrs. White had used her red pen more precisely I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher—to restrain (限定, 限制) her red pen. To allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression flower—however faultily—like that.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. I never could quite remember that the “e” went before the “a”. It annoyed my teacher in high school endlessly. Eventually the “e” s and “a” s that were wrong placed in “beautiful” settled into their right places. I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. “Pretty” is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs. White I had no concerns about writing what I meant, even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t pretty. It’s beautiful.
8. What worried his mother when the author was in kindergarten
A. The author’s unwillingness to go to school.
B. The teacher’s terrible attitude to the author.
C. The teacher’s ignorance of the author’s mistakes.
D. The author’s failure in exams and scrawl in homework.
9. What does the underlined word “dampen” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Reduce. B. Gain. C. Awaken. D. Inspire.
10. What can we learn from the fifth paragraph
A. The author preferred using the word “pretty”.
B. The teacher in high school disliked the author.
C. The author finally succeeded in spelling “beautiful” correctly.
D. The author owed all his own spelling problems to Mrs. White.
11. Which of the following can be used to describe Mrs. White
A. Generous and kind. B. Enthusiastic and careful.
C. Honest and brave. D. Far-sighted and tolerant.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己幼儿园老师如何保护孩子们学习积极性，表达了自己对老师的感激之情。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The scrawl (潦草的笔迹) in that worried my mother, so one day when she met Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes.(字迹潦草的字迹让我母亲很担心，所以有一天，当她在一次家长会上遇到怀特老师时，她问她为什么从不纠正我的错误。)”可知，作者的老师从不纠正作者的错误，这使得作者的母亲很担心。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. (孩子们刚刚开始对使用单词和造句感到兴奋。)”可知，孩子们刚开始对遣词造句感到兴奋；结合画线词所在句中的“that enthusiasm with red ink.”可知，Mrs. White不想用红墨水来打击孩子们的积极性，即降低孩子们的热情。由此可推知，dampen应意为“减弱”，与A项意思相近。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段内容尤其是“Eventually the ‘e’ s and ‘a’ s that were wrong placed in ‘beautiful’ settled into their right places.(最终，在“beautiful”一词中放错位置的“e”和“a”找到了正确的位置。)” 可知，最后作者以前经常写错的“e”和“a”都回到了它们正确的位置上，即作者最后成功将“beautiful”拼写正确。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文尤其是第三段“I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink.(我不想用红墨水浇灭这种热情。)” 和“But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that. (但我长大后学会了用充满爱和自信的语言。)”可推知，Mrs. White在教学方面很有远见，能容忍孩子们暂时的书写错误。故选D。
D
IT’S A TYPICAL morning: you wake up, take a shower, brush your teeth, and then prick (刺;扎) your arm with a tiny needle. Wait, what Unless you have a serious disease such as diabetes, you probably haven’t ever tested your own blood. But in the future, that might change.
The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing. You stick your arm using a supposedly painless, one-off, blood-drawing cartridge (针筒) about the size of a lipstick. Then you stick the cartridge into a device (装置) that looks like the base for an electric toothbrush. A few minutes later, an app on your phone buzzes with updated information, including your current health data (数据) and tips on what to eat and how to exercise during the day.
It’s true that blood contains a wealth of information about a person’s health. Blood tests can show if a person is infected with a disease or at risk for a variety of problems, including a heart attack or a stroke. But most people don’t test their own blood until a doctor says it’s time. Healthy young adults get regular blood tests about every five years. These tests happen at a lab, where a technician or a nurse sticks a long needle into the arm to draw out several tubes full of blood. Cor and similar companies, such as Wellness FX, are trying to change all that. They think people deserve access to more information about their own health.
But not everyone is convinced that regular blood testing for health y people is a great idea. Cor’s system is expensive and may not offer much benefit. “The lightest result here is that you lose your money and then you’re reminded to get more sleep and to eat more fruits, vegetables, and fish,” Pieter Cohen of Harvard Medical School told the New York Times. “The worst result is that you end up getting frightened by probably abnormal results that are actually completely normal for you.”
Plus, the results of a home blood test might be wrong. It’s hard to get accurate results from a tiny amount of blood. So what do you think Is monitoring your own health via pinpricks the way of the future Or is it better to leave blood testing to medical professionals
12. Why does the author mention the typical morning in the first paragraph
A. To explain a scene. B. To provide an example.
C. To make a comparison. D. To introduce the topic.
13. What can we learn about the company Cor’s blood-testing system
A. It is painless and cheap to use.
B. It has won popularity among people.
C. It may give advice on our diet according to the health data.
D. It offers accurate health information about our body
14. What’s Pieter Cohen’s attitude towards this kind of system
A. Negative. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Objective.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Home blood testing: your health monitor!
B Home blood tests: yes or no
C. A new system of improving your health.
D. Should blood tests be allowed at home
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了未来可能会兴起的新技术——家庭验血技术。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Unless you have a serious disease such as diabetes, you probably haven’t ever tested your own blood. But in the future, that might change.(除非你患有严重的疾病，如糖尿病，否则你可能从未检测过自己的血液。但在未来，这种情况可能会改变。)”和第二段“The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing.(Cor公司已经在销售一种家庭血液检测系统。)”可知，作者在第一段提到了典型的早晨是为了引出话题。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A few minutes later, an app on your phone buzzes with updated information, including your current health data (数据) and tips on what to eat and how to exercise during the day.(几分钟后，你的手机会嗡嗡作响地发出最新的信息，包括你当前的健康数据，以及关于白天吃什么和如何锻炼的建议。)”可知，Cor公司的血液检测系统可以根据健康数据对我们的饮食提出建议。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““The lightest result here is that you lose your money and then you’re reminded to get more sleep and to eat more fruits, vegetables, and fish,” Pieter Cohen of Harvard Medical School told the New York Times. “The worst result is that you end up getting frightened by probably abnormal results that are actually completely normal for you.”(哈佛大学医学院的彼得·科恩在接受《纽约时报》采访时表示：“最轻微的结果是，你丢了钱，然后被提醒要多睡觉，多吃水果、蔬菜和鱼。”“最糟糕的结果是，你最终会被可能不正常的结果吓坏，而这些结果对你来说实际上是完全正常的。”)”可知，彼得·科恩对这种制度持消极态度。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing.(Cor公司已经在销售一种家庭血液检测系统。)”和最后一段“So what do you think Is monitoring your own health via pinpricks the way of the future Or is it better to leave blood testing to medical professionals (你怎么看 通过针刺来监测自己的健康是未来的方式吗 还是把验血留给专业医生更好 )”可知，文章说明了Cor公司已经在销售一种家庭血液检测系统，且说明了家庭血液检测系统的利弊，所以B选项“家庭验血：肯定还是否定 ”适合用作文章标题。故选B项。

【18题详解】
空前“Skim before you read.(阅读前先略读。)”说明在阅读前要略读，空格处应该说什么是略读，F选项“This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully(这意味着在你开始更仔细地阅读一篇文章之前，要快速浏览一遍)”说明了什么是略读，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。
【19题详解】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴西北里奥格兰德州独特的可口可乐湖，介绍了其湖水的特点以及好处。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：事实上，你可以在巴西北里奥格兰德州独特的可口可乐湖做到这一点，那里的水和流行的软饮料一模一样。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Coca Cola Lagoon in Rio Grande do Norte，在从句中作地点状语，故填where。
【37题详解】

【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：可口可乐湖位于北格兰德河的南海岸，距离纳塔尔州不到100公里，是巴西最受欢迎的旅游目的地之一。表示“位于”短语为be located on，省略be动词，过去分词作状语，首字母大写。故填Located。

【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在夏季，可口可乐泻湖的浅水变得非常温暖，使其成为家庭沐浴的理想场所。分析句子结构可知make与上文句子构成主动关系，故用现在分词作结果状语，故填making。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：也有一些人认为，赋予水可口可乐般的颜色的化学成分对健康也有积极的影响。此处为定语从句修饰先行词chemical combination，在从句中作主语，且陈述客观事实用一般现在时，谓语用三单形式。故填gives。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：也有一些人认为，赋予水可口可乐般的颜色的化学成分对健康也有积极的影响。表示“对……有积极影响”短语为have a positive effect on/upon。故填on/upon。

【答案】measuring
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：中国第一艘航空母舰，长304米，于2012年交付给中国人民解放军海军。句中谓语是was handed，空格处用非谓语动词作定语，measure意为“（指尺寸、长短、数量等）量度为”，China’s first aircraft carrier和measure之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填measuring。
49. She was taken to a hospital suffering from an __________ (regular) heartbeat. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】irregular
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：她因心律不齐被送往医院。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词heartbeat，由She was taken to a hospital可知，句子表示“她因心律不齐被送往医院”，空格处意为“无规律的”，用形容词作定语，修饰名词heartbeat，“无规律的”的形容词是irregular。故填irregular。
50. As the professor says in the lecture, what makes us so unique is our___________（individual)（所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】individuality
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：正如教授在讲座中所说，使我们如此独特的是我们的个性。分析句子可知，设空处应填名词作表语（形容词性物主代词“our”+名词），再结合句意“个性”是individuality（“individual”的名词形式）。故填individuality。
51. According to the research, taking on a fitness journey with others proves __________ (effect) than going to the gym alone. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】more effective
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词比较级。句意：根据这项研究，与他人一起进行健身之旅证明比独自去健身房更有效。提示词作表语，用形容词effective，意为“有效的”，表明主语taking on a fitness journey with others的特性，结合句意和介词than可知，表示“更有效”，应使用比较级形式more effective。故填more effective。
52. Our relationship __________ (strength) over the past three years. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】has been strengthened
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：我们的关系在过去三年中得到了加强。提示词在句中作谓语，用动词形式strengthen，意为“加强，巩固”，与主语relationship之间是被动关系，结合时间状语over the past three years，描述从过去持续到现在的动作，用现在完成时态，又因主语是单数名词，谓语用单数形式。故填has been strengthened。
53. __________ (concern) about his son’s safety, the mother stayed awake waiting for him all night. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Concerned
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：由于担心儿子的安全，这位母亲彻夜未眠等着他。空格处用形容词作状语，主语the mother是人，用形容词concerned修饰，意为“担心的”，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Concerned。
54. I returned home and found my hometown changed beyond __________ (recognize) (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】recognition
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：我回到家，发现家乡变得面目全非。beyond后跟名词作宾语，recognize的名词是recognition，是不可数名词，beyond recognition意为“难以识别”，因此空格处是recognition。故填recognition。
55. He had no option but ________ (acquire) new skills in order to get a well-paid job. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to acquire
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：为了找到一份收入不错的工作，他别无选择，只能学习新技能。have no option but to do sth.是固定句型，意为“别无选择，只能做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to acquire。故填to acquire。
第四节 根据要求翻译句子(共5题;每小题2分，满分10分)
56. 同样重要的是我们应该对待生活有一个积极的态度。(of equal importance，倒装)(汉译英)
【答案】Of equal importance is that we should have a positive attitude towards life.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语，表语从句，时态和部分倒装。陈述客观事实用一般现在时，“同样重要的是”是of equal importance is...，是表语提前的全部倒装，“我们应该对待生活有一个积极的态度”用that引导表语从句，“我们应该”是we should，should是情态动词，其后跟动词原形，“对待生活有一个积极的态度”是have a positive attitude towards life，因此整句话翻译为“Of equal importance is that we should have a positive attitude towards life”。故答案为Of equal importance is that we should have a positive attitude towards life.
57. 与真正的朋友，我们可以毫无顾忌和保留地分享我们的快乐和悲伤。(in full measure)(汉译英)
【答案】With true friends, we can share our happiness and sadness in full measure.

58. 尽管手机给我们生活带来便利，但是它们也损害了我们与爱我们的人之间的关系。(come between…and…)(汉译英)
【答案】Although cell phones bring convenience to our life, they also come between us and the people who love us.
【解析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句，时态，主谓一致，固定短语和定语从句。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，“尽管手机给我们生活带来的便利”用although引导让步状语从句，“手机”是cell phone，用复数，“给……带来便利”是bring convenience to，主语cell phones是复数，bring用原形，“我们生活”是our life，“损害……和……之间的关系”是come between...and...，主语they是复数，bring用原形，“我们”用us作宾语，“爱我们的人”是the people who love us，who引导的是定语从句，修饰people，who指代的先行词people是复数，因此love用原形，因此整句话翻译为Although cell phones bring convenience to our life, they also come between us and the people who love us.
59. 为了不辜负父母的期望，他下定决心充分利用业余时间来努力学习。(live up to，make the most of)(汉译英)
【答案】In order to live up to his parents’ expectations, he made up his mind to make the most of his spare time to study hard.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。“为了做某事”是in order to do sth.，“不辜负”是live up to，“父母的期望”是his parents’ expectations，“下定决心做某事”是make up one’s mind to do sth.，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，make用过去式，“充分利用”是make the most of，“业余时间”是his spare time，“来努力学习”用不定式表目的，“努力学习”是study hard，因此整句话翻译为In order to live up to his parents’ expectations, he made up his mind to make the most of his spare time to study hard.
60. Bob在学习上从不专心， 不太可能通过考试。(likely，定语从句) (汉译英)
【答案】Bob never concentrates on study, which makes it less likely for him to pass the exam.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语、时态和定语从句。“Bob在学习上从不专心”是主句，主语Bob，“从不”用否定副词never，谓语“专心”用动词短语concentrate on，描述习惯性行为用一般现在时态，主语是专有名词，谓语用单数形式concentrates on，宾语“学习”用study；“不太可能通过考试”可理解为“学习上从不专心让Bob不太可能通过考试”，可处理为非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个主句，用关系代词which引导该从句，表示“学习上从不专心”这件事情，谓语部分“让……不太可能”可用固定短语make it less likely for sb. to do，描述一般性事实，谓语动词make用一般现在时态makes，其中形容词less likely作宾语补足语，it是形式宾语，真正的宾语“通过考试”用不定式to pass the exam表示。综上，全句译为：Bob never concentrates on study, which makes it less likely for him to pass the exam.

A small study out of Skidmore College examined the advantages of morning vs, evening exercise for both women and men. Paul, professor for health at Skidmore, led the study.
“We had the groups divided into evening and morning groups,” he says. “We found women and men answered differently to different types of exercise depending on the time of the day, which surprised us.”
The study showed that for women who want to lower blood pressure (血压), the risk of heart disease or reduce fat, morning exercise works best. Those women hoping for upper body muscle (肌肉) gains or mood (心情) improvement should consider evening exercise. For the men, the findings were somewhat different: Evening exercise lowers blood pressure, the risk of heart disease, and feelings of tiredness. But similar to women, they burn more fat with morning exercise.
“For many people, the best time to exercise will depend on their chronotype,” says Heisz, author of Move the Body, Heal the Mind.
“Chronotype is your body’s natural habit to sleep at a certain time—it’s what decides whether you’re a night owl or an early bird. For the 25% of the population that considers themselves a night owl, getting both enough sleep and enough exercise can be difficult,” adds Heisz.
He continues, “Sleep—which provides your body the necessary time to recover (恢复) and make gains from exercise—should always be the first choice. When it comes to exercise, regardless of research on the advantages of certain exercises at particular times of the day, your results will not be good if it doesn’t allow enough time for sleep.”
4. What can women get by doing evening exercise according to the study
A. A fat loss.
B A good mood.
C. A lower blood pressure.
D. A smaller risk of heart disease.
5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5
A. Give an example. B. Tell the difference.
C. Do an experiment. D. Explain a term.
6. What does Heisz think is important to achieve good results of exercise
A. Enough sleep. B. Low-fat food.
C. Plenty of water. D. Lots of exercise.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. A Night Owl or An Early Bird
B. Why Fitness Plan Being Important
C. How to Change Your Exercise Time
D. The Best Time of a Day to Exercise
C
Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher I do, mine. Her name was Mrs. White.
I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! The scrawl (潦草的笔迹) in that worried my mother, so one day when she met Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes. Why she never red-pencilled in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait...” What my mother gave me was the gist of what she could remember. But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that.
And it occurs to me that if Mrs. White had used her red pen more precisely I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher—to restrain (限定, 限制) her red pen. To allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression flower—however faultily—like that.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. I never could quite remember that the “e” went before the “a”. It annoyed my teacher in high school endlessly. Eventually the “e” s and “a” s that were wrong placed in “beautiful” settled into their right places. I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. “Pretty” is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs. White I had no concerns about writing what I meant, even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t pretty. It’s beautiful.

IT’S A TYPICAL morning: you wake up, take a shower, brush your teeth, and then prick (刺;扎) your arm with a tiny needle. Wait, what Unless you have a serious disease such as diabetes, you probably haven’t ever tested your own blood. But in the future, that might change.
The company Cor already sells a system for home blood testing. You stick your arm using a supposedly painless, one-off, blood-drawing cartridge (针筒) about the size of a lipstick. Then you stick the cartridge into a device (装置) that looks like the base for an electric toothbrush. A few minutes later, an app on your phone buzzes with updated information, including your current health data (数据) and tips on what to eat and how to exercise during the day.
It’s true that blood contains a wealth of information about a person’s health. Blood tests can show if a person is infected with a disease or at risk for a variety of problems, including a heart attack or a stroke. But most people don’t test their own blood until a doctor says it’s time. Healthy young adults get regular blood tests about every five years. These tests happen at a lab, where a technician or a nurse sticks a long needle into the arm to draw out several tubes full of blood. Cor and similar companies, such as Wellness FX, are trying to change all that. They think people deserve access to more information about their own health.
But not everyone is convinced that regular blood testing for health y people is a great idea. Cor’s system is expensive and may not offer much benefit. “The lightest result here is that you lose your money and then you’re reminded to get more sleep and to eat more fruits, vegetables, and fish,” Pieter Cohen of Harvard Medical School told the New York Times. “The worst result is that you end up getting frightened by probably abnormal results that are actually completely normal for you.”
Plus, the results of a home blood test might be wrong. It’s hard to get accurate results from a tiny amount of blood. So what do you think Is monitoring your own health via pinpricks the way of the future Or is it better to leave blood testing to medical professionals
12. Why does the author mention the typical morning in the first paragraph
A. To explain a scene. B. To provide an example.
C. To make a comparison. D. To introduce the topic.
13. What can we learn about the company Cor’s blood-testing system
A. It is painless and cheap to use.
B. It has won popularity among people.
C. It may give advice on our diet according to the health data.
D. It offers accurate health information about our body
14. What’s Pieter Cohen’s attitude towards this kind of system
A. Negative. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Objective.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Home blood testing: your health monitor!
B. Home blood tests: yes or no
C. A new system of improving your health.
D. Should blood tests be allowed at home
