Four Popular Books on Science
Mustn’t Grumble
This book written by Graham Lawton is not about what happens when we’re ill with something serious to send us to the doctor. Instead, it focuses on many of mild, annoying illnesses, aches and pains which we can always put up with. It’s a mixture of science and history, with a light touch, and provides practical information about each illness for the reader.
Generations
In this deeply researched book, Professor Bobby Duffy provides a new framework for understanding the issues of the day: from culture wars to climate change and mental health to housing. Including information from all over the globe, and with powerful effects on humanity’s future, this big-thinking book will change how you view the world.
Eureka
Introduced by Jim Al-Khalili, Eureka brings together 365 mind blowing questions, attractive facts and exciting experiments. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if the moon disappeared, why cats always land on their feet, why we get morning breath, how to measure the speed of light with a chocolate bar, if you could surf down an erupting volcano and why songs get stuck in your head, this book would be a good choice.
Unthinkable
Unthinkable takes us on an unforgettable journey through the human brain. Award-winning science writer Helen Thomson has spent years travelling the world tracking down brain disorders that are not seen very often. In Unthinkable she tells the stories of nine unusual people. From the man who thinks he’s a tiger to the doctor who feels the pain of others just by looking at them. Their experiences show how the brain can shape our lives in unexpected and, in some cases, alarming ways.

David and Alicia Tschirhart adored their Yellow Lab, Marley, but they never knew just how much, until that day back in 2014 when they were hiking with him in hills near their San Diego home.
“Alicia went off the path to grab a walking stick to help through the path,” David recalled. “And Marley all of a sudden darted (猛冲) from me and he started clawing the ground where Alicia was reaching for a walking stick. And I didn’t know what was happening. Alicia kind of fell back. When I looked more closely, I saw that it was a rattlesnake,” he told journalist Tracy Smith.
Rattlesnakes are common on these trails, which are very steep and miles from any hospital. And the Tschirharts didn’t have cellphones with them. For Alicia, who was four months pregnant, a snake bite could have been a disaster. Thankfully, 12-year-old Marley scared the snake away, and a few months later, the Tschirharts’ first daughter Maddie was born.
But by then, Marley had been diagnosed with cancer, and by Thanksgiving weekend 2014, it was clear the end was near. And their love for Marley was so strong that they couldn’t really let it go. So, the Tschirharts turned to ViaGen Pets, of Austin, Texas, a company that has cloned hundreds of pets for a multitude of grateful owners.
For as much as $50,000, the company will culture the cells, create embryos, implant them in a surrogate (代孕母亲), and deliver a clone of your loved one.
Marley’s clone, Ziggy, an energetic yellow ball. But to David and Alicia, he’s nothing less than Marley reborn. “He is exactly the twin of Marley,” said David. “So, he’s in, I guess, the same environment. So really, he’s become the same dog.”
And while pet cloning is still debatable, it can mean, for some at least, that with the right amount of love, science and money, you never really need to say goodbye.
4. Why did Marley suddenly behave that way during the hike
A. It wanted to have some fun. B. It wasn’t normal sometimes.
C. It detected danger for its owner. D. It found a better stick for its owner.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly show
A. The couple just have one daughter now. B. The couple were very grateful to the dog.
C. The couple don’t like using a cellphone. D. The couple were very careless sometimes.
6. What did the couple decide to do near Marley’s death
A. Save it no matter how hard it is. B. Find its surrogate for them to meet.
C. Let it die without suffering any pain. D. Clone a dog through new technology.
7. What is the couple’s attitude towards Ziggy
A. They find it very satisfying to them. B. They consider it a totally new dog.
C. They are quite concerned about it. D. They don’t think it’s as good as Marley.
C
The candy we eat the tea we drink, the lotion we use---they all likely contain ingredients from wild plants. While natural ingredients can be beneficial to buyers, the way those plants are harvested could harm ecosystems. In a recent United Nations report, medicinal plant experts revealed the risks behind several of them, including Brazil nuts, frankincense, goldenseal, gum arabic, and licorice.
Plant derivatives (衍生物) in household products “sit there somewhere in the middle of the ingredients list” on product labels, often going unnoticed, says Caitlin Schindler, lead author of the report. Even if consumers do take note, there’s no information about what’s involved in obtaining or processing the derivatives.
Many of these plants are threatened with extinction from overharvesting, disease and pests, climate change, and habitat loss. The endangered state of more than 20,000 medicinal plant species has never been assessed, which means it’s impossible to know whether their use is sustainable.
Meanwhile, the trade in wild plants is booming. U. S. consumers spent more than $12.3 billion on herbal dietary supplements in 2021---up more than 9 percent from 2020. Wild plants have been used locally for centuries, but today’s global demand puts many at risk. And international customers often have no idea where these products originate.
Should consumers stop buying the products No. Schindler says, because “the ingredients are really critical to a lot of people’s livelihoods.” Solutions for transforming the trade in wild plants are rooted in awareness. The first step for consumers is to “just notice that you’re buying something that has a wild ingredient,” she says. It’s generally safer to purchase local products and splurge on more expensive ones, if possible.
Consumers can also look for organic and fair-trade certifications. Various programs evaluate wild-plant supply chains for sustainability, and many companies advertise these certifications, either on the product or online. One of the most prominent is Fair Wild, which assesses environmental risks and recommends best sourcing practices. If certifications are missing, Schindler encourages people to challenge companies to do better. “Until businesses get a bit more pressure from consumers, we won’t see any changes happening,” she says.
8. What can we learn about wild plants according to the report
A. Their current situation is ignored. B. They are limited on a global scale.
C. They have been evaluated regularly. D. Their process information is on the label.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “splurge on” in paragraph 5
A. Get rid of. B. Spend much money on.
C. Pay attention to. D. Conduct many experiments on.
10. Why are the organic and fair-trade certifications valued
A. They confirm the quality of the wild plants.
B. They offer consumers rights to assess the products.
C. They ensure the use of wild plants at a steady level.
D. They inspire companies to make more advertisements.
11. What is the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
D
Crohn’s disease is a constant source of trouble for sufferers. This long-term condition is commonly found in the small intestine (肠) and the symptoms can include stomachaches, joint pain and weight loss. A new study suggests that there may be a way to change the diet to take control of this difficult-to-treat disease.
One common cause of the condition, which affects as many as 780,000 Americans, is an overactive immune system that considers harmless gut bacteria as dangers and responds by producing inflammation (炎症). The new study suggests that a diet rich in health y fats and oil s such as coconut oil or cocoa butter may lead to specific changes in gut bacteria that could fight harmful inflammation.
Although the research was conducted on mice with a Crohn’s-like disease, the results are the first to show how high-fat diets can change gut bacteria to fight against inflammation, according to lead author Alexander Rodriguez-Palacios, PhD and Assistant Professor of Medicine at CWRU-M. In the study, the mice that were fed even a small amount of coconut oil or cocoa butter were found to have up to 30 percent fewer types of gut bacteria and less severe intestinal inflammation than those fed a typical diet. These findings suggest that there may be a beneficial Crohn’s disease diet that involves taking in “good” fats in normal amounts. Patients can substitute these good fats for other sources in their diets, Dr. Rodriguez-Palacios notes.
Humans and mice share many common genetic features, and by examining mice, scientists can gain valuable understanding about how humans function. However, humans may respond to dietary changes differently and in their own ways. For example, not all so-called good fats will work for all patients, Dr. Rodriguez-Palacios points out. He is hopeful that the diet could be beneficial to at least some patients, and it wouldn’t have the side effects and risks that come with medical treatments. “The trick now will be to really discover what makes a fat ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for Crohn’s patients,” he says.
12. What can be inferred about Crohn’s disease
A. It’s a major cause of stomachaches. B. It can damage one’s immune system.
C. It’s considered to be a very rare disease. D. Doctors haven’t found a good way to treat it.
13. What commonly leads to Crohn’s disease
A. The diet with too much fat and oil. B. Harmful gut bacteria in the small intestine.
C Wrong response of the body to gut bacteria. D. Poor immune system weakened by diseases.
14. What’s implied in the last paragraph
A. Further research is needed to help treat Crohn’s disease.
B. It’s easy to find good fats for sufferers of Crohn’s disease.
C. Coconut oil can really help treat Crohn’s disease in humans.
D. The study’s findings are useless to sufferers of Crohn’s disease.
15. What’s the main idea of the text
A. It’s difficult to find a cure for Crohn’s disease
B. One simple diet change may help with Crohn’s disease
C. Researchers have found the cause of Crohn’s disease
D More Americans are suffering from Crohn’s disease

When our youngest sister was born, my little brother Tom was six and I was eight. I had always been the “Big Sister” and he had always been “The Baby”.
Our sister’s arrival was a complete surprise to both of us. In those days no one worried much about sibling rivalry (兄弟姐妹间的较劲), and no “experts” told us how to deal with another child in the house. We had wise and loving grandpa and mom, however.
I was excited about the baby and loved to hold her and help care for her. Tom’s feelings were quite different! He just looked at her and left, preferring to spend the evening in his room. When I went to his room to talk to him and try to get him to play games with me, he just looked away. “Why did they have to get that baby ” Tom asked.
Later that night, Grandpa came over to see the new baby. As he held her, he said to Tom, “You know, she’s a lot like the baby lamb I’m raising on the bottle. I have to take care of her and feed her often, just the way your mom does with the baby.” Tom said, “I’d rather have the lamb.”
Grandpa heard and said, “Well, if you’d rather have a lamb, maybe we could trade your little sister for it. I’ll give you a day to think it over, and if you still want to trade tomorrow, we’ll do it.” I thought I saw him wink at Mom, but I knew I must have been mistaken because Grandpa never winked at anyone.
After Grandpa left, Mom read to Tom for a long while. Tom kept looking at the baby, and Mom asked him to hold our little sister while she went to the bathroom. When Mom came back. Tom was gently touching the baby’s smooth black hair, and as he held her hand, she took hold of his finger.

The first step for consumers is to “just notice that you’re buying something that has a wild ingredient,” she says. It’s generally safer to purchase local products and splurge on more expensive ones, if possible.
Consumers can also look for organic and fair-trade certifications. Various programs evaluate wild-plant supply chains for sustainability, and many companies advertise these certifications, either on the product or online. One of the most prominent is Fair Wild, which assesses environmental risks and recommends best sourcing practices. If certifications are missing, Schindler encourages people to challenge companies to do better. “Until businesses get a bit more pressure from consumers, we won’t see any changes happening,” she says.
8. What can we learn about wild plants according to the report
A. Their current situation is ignored. B. They are limited on a global scale.
C. They have been evaluated regularly. D. Their process information is on the label.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “splurge on” in paragraph 5
A. Get rid of. B. Spend much money on.
C. Pay attention to. D. Conduct many experiments on.
10. Why are the organic and fair-trade certifications valued
A. They confirm the quality of the wild plants.
B. They offer consumers rights to assess the products.
C. They ensure the use of wild plants at a steady level.
D. They inspire companies to make more advertisements.
11. What is the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】

Crohn’s disease is a constant source of trouble for sufferers. This long-term condition is commonly found in the small intestine (肠) and the symptoms can include stomachaches, joint pain and weight loss. A new study suggests that there may be a way to change the diet to take control of this difficult-to-treat disease.
One common cause of the condition which affects as many as 780,000 Americans, is an overactive immune system that considers harmless gut bacteria as dangers and responds by producing inflammation (炎症). The new study suggests that a diet rich in health y fats and oil s such as coconut oil or cocoa butter may lead to specific changes in gut bacteria that could fight harmful inflammation.
Although the research was conducted on mice with a Crohn’s-like disease, the results are the first to show how high-fat diets can change gut bacteria to fight against inflammation, according to lead author Alexander Rodriguez-Palacios, PhD and Assistant Professor of Medicine at CWRU-M. In the study, the mice that were fed even a small amount of coconut oil or cocoa butter were found to have up to 30 percent fewer types of gut bacteria and less severe intestinal inflammation than those fed a typical diet. These findings suggest that there may be a beneficial Crohn’s disease diet that involves taking in “good” fats in normal amounts. Patients can substitute these good fats for other sources in their diets, Dr. Rodriguez-Palacios notes.
Humans and mice share many common genetic features, and by examining mice, scientists can gain valuable understanding about how humans function. However, humans may respond to dietary changes differently and in their own ways. For example, not all so-called good fats will work for all patients, Dr. Rodriguez-Palacios points out. He is hopeful that the diet could be beneficial to at least some patients, and it wouldn’t have the side effects and risks that come with medical treatments. “The trick now will be to really discover what makes a fat ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for Crohn’s patients,” he says.
12. What can be inferred about Crohn’s disease
A. It’s a major cause of stomachaches. B. It can damage one’s immune system.
C. It’s considered to be a very rare disease. D. Doctors haven’t found a good way to treat it.
13. What commonly leads to Crohn’s disease
A. The diet with too much fat and oil. B. Harmful gut bacteria in the small intestine.
C. Wrong response of the body to gut bacteria. D. Poor immune system weakened by diseases.
14. What’s implied in the last paragraph
A. Further research is needed to help treat Crohn’s disease.
B. It’s easy to find good fats for sufferers of Crohn’s disease.
C. Coconut oil can really help treat Crohn’s disease in humans.
D. The study’s findings are useless to sufferers of Crohn’s disease.
15. What’s the main idea of the text
A. It’s difficult to find a cure for Crohn’s disease
B. One simple diet change may help with Crohn’s disease
C. Researchers have found the cause of Crohn’s disease
D. More Americans are suffering from Crohn’s disease
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B

When our youngest sister was born, my little brother Tom was six and I was eight. I had always been the “Big Sister” and he had always been “The Baby”.
Our sister’s arrival was a complete surprise to both of us. In those days no one worried much about sibling rivalry (兄弟姐妹间的较劲), and no “experts” told us how to deal with another child in the house. We had wise and loving grandpa and mom, however.
I was excited about the baby and loved to hold her and help care for her. Tom’s feelings were quite different! He just looked at her and left, preferring to spend the evening in his room. When I went to his room to talk to him and try to get him to play games with me, he just looked away. “Why did they have to get that baby ” Tom asked.
Later that night, Grandpa came over to see the new baby. As he held her, he said to Tom, “You know, she’s a lot like the baby lamb I’m raising on the bottle. I have to take care of her and feed her often, just the way your mom does with the baby.” Tom said, “I’d rather have the lamb.”
Grandpa heard and said, “Well, if you’d rather have a lamb, maybe we could trade your little sister for it. I’ll give you a day to think it over, and if you still want to trade tomorrow, we’ll do it.” I thought I saw him wink at Mom, but I knew I must have been mistaken because Grandpa never winked at anyone.
After Grandpa left, Mom read to Tom for a long while. Tom kept looking at the baby, and Mom asked him to hold our little sister while she went to the bathroom. When Mom came back. Tom was gently touching the baby’s smooth black hair, and as he held her hand, she took hold of his finger.

【答案】“Mom, look! She’s holding my hand!” Tom smiled. “Sure, she knows you’re her brother,” Mom smiled. He held the baby for more minutes, and seemed much happier at bedtime. The next day, Tom and I spent much of the day watching the baby bathe, watching her sleep and holding her. That evening, when Grandpa came back and asked Tom whether he was ready to trade, Tom looked surprised that Grandpa had remembered the bargain. He began to worry that Grandpa would take our sister away.
She’s a day older now. I think she’s worth five lambs now, “Tom said. Grandpa looked shocked, and said he had to think it over, Anxious, Tom went to Mom’s room and held the baby for long. The next day, Grandpa visited us and told Tom he was preparing five lambs. Tom took a deep breath and said, “The baby is worth fifty lambs now!” Annoyed, Grandpa answered, “I can’t afford fifty lambs. I guess you’ll have to keep her and help your parents look after her.” Tom smiled, and this time I really did see Grandpa wink at Mom.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者的最小的妹妹出生时,作者的弟弟汤姆六岁,作者八岁。作者能够照顾小妹妹,而汤姆对这个小妹妹却显示出了排斥。一天爷爷来看望小妹妹,汤姆对爷爷说“我宁愿要羔羊,也不要小妹妹”。爷爷听到后说:“好吧,如果你想要一只小羊羔,也许我们可以用你的小妹妹来换它。”我给你一天时间考虑,如果你明天还想交易,我们就交易。爷爷走后,妈妈让汤姆照顾他的小妹妹。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容““妈妈,看!她握着我的手!”汤姆笑了。”可知,第一段可描写汤姆更愿意照顾小妹妹了,那天晚上,爷爷问起了交易的事情,汤姆很担心妹妹被带走。
②由第二段首句内容“她现在大了一天。我想她现在值五只羊羔了。”可知,第二段可描写汤姆与爷爷对交易的“讨价还价”,最终爷爷放弃了交易。
