A New Campaign to Stress the Benefits of a Balanced Diet
Look out for a new TV campaign, entitled "Eat Balanced", which will highlight the continued benefits of eating meat and dairy(奶制的) products as part of a balanced diet.
Introduction
The campaign spearheaded by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) will appear on TV, social media and supermarket packaging and aims to highlight the nutritional benefits of enjoying red meat and dairy, while showing Britain's world-class standards in food production and sustainability.
Basis
The campaign will be built on the following three key messages about meat and diary products:
●Meat and dairy products contain vitamin Bl2, an essential nutrient not naturally present in vegan diet;
●Red meat and dairy products from Britain are produced to world-class standards;
●Red meat and dairy products from Britain are among the most sustainable in the world.
The Aim
AHDB is conveying a message to consumers for a bright new year—enjoy the food you eat.
AHDB's Chief Communications and Market Development Officer Christine Watts says: "In Britain, we have so much to be proud of when it comes to the food we eat, how it's produced and the entire journey from farm to fork. Our farmers operate farms in the excellent way, so our food meets the international criterion. This campaign is aimed to balance the negative commentary around farming, as well as highlight the importance of eating meat and dairy products as part of a balanced and healthy diet."

Alena Analeigh Wicker had an incredibly impressive list of accomplishments. She studied biological sciences at two separate universities. She is a former NASA intern and went to a medical school. At the young age of 13, she was well on her way to achieving her dreams and ambitions. She also supplied support to other young girls like her, who were interested in science and technology, and hoped that her story would serve as a source of inspiration.
Alena's mother, McQuarter, claimed that her daughter had always been exceptional and superior. She offered to be educated at home. So McQuarter homeschooled Alena during elementary school. Even after Alena returned to school in the fifth grade, she continued studying high school subjects based on a course carefully designed by her mother.

And while studying for the accelerated degrees, Alena started the Brown STEM Girl Foundation, in honor of Katherine Johnson, who had been a pioneering African-American mathematician at NASA. The Foundation's target is to engage and educate girls in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Alena has promoted her foundation online, "It feels amazing to be able to create a path for girls that look like me." Alena shares her tips. She says, "It doesn't matter how old you are. You can do it. Don't let anybody tell you no. I would say to any little girl out there that's reading this: Never give up on yourself and never let anyone tell you that you can't do something."

四、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it. By chance, a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.
We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options. There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world, but we tried our luck, sent a request, and to our surprise, landed a three-month job in Grenada, so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.
Inspired by a Canadian couple, we decided to start our own travel blog. We began by writing about The British Virgin Islands, highlighting the beautiful beaches. However, for every photo album of a beautiful beach, there were 10 photos of trash(垃圾). It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue, especially on such primitive and remote beaches. So, we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick upon our daily dog walks.
The more we looked into plastic pollution, the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution. From that point, we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free. We changed our daily routines, our way of living, and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.
It’s been over three years now and we continue to do what we can. This journey has led us to some amazing places, working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.
Our aim now is to keep on going. We love connecting with like-minded people. It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting. Who would have guessed

五、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
When I was a boy, I lived across the road from a camp. For nine months out of a year, the camp was mostly empty, so it was my own personal playground. I would ride my bike up and down the quiet road. I would shoot basketballs alone at the court no matter how many times I missed. I would even explore the woodlands near the camp to look for buried treasures in my imagination.
In summer when the camp opened, I would swim every day in the pool. Then I would sneak into(溜进) the camp's kitchen to get a treasure of my own. My smiling grandma worked there and would hand me a hot roll and some coins from her pocket. I would take my treasure down to the vending machine(自动售货机) and buy myself a sweet can of Coca Cola to quench my thirst and lighten my heart.
Those memories are over 40 years old now, yet they still live in my mind like it was yesterday. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the old days and talk to that little boy. I would tell him to enjoy and cherish each day he had there. I would tell him that every moment is a gift of life. I would tell him to try not to blink(眨眼睛) because the years were flying silently. Most of all, I would tell him to stop and hug his grandma every time he met her.
Life seems so short at times. The longest life still seems too brief to learn all we have to learn, to do all we want to do, and to share the love we need to share. What we should do properly is to see the preciousness of each and every second, and live it like it was our last. May we all do so.

六、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Southern California's Catalina Island is a popular destination for nature lovers. It is reachable by boat from Los Angeles and San Diego. Most of the small island is a government-protected wild area. But, a report last October in the Los Angeles Times newspaper raised public concern about the water surrounding Catalina. The newspaper discovered that industrial companies for years had been dumping(倾倒) the insect poison DDT into the ocean near Catalina. The practice began in the 1940s and ended in the 1970s.
The newspaper report led to a search and study of the area by scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego (UCSD). The research team discovered about 25,000 large containers, below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. The scientists suspected the containers held DDT, and other chemicals used to make the poison.
Eric Terrill, who led the Scripps program that worked on the project, said the finding was a surprise as the containers were spread over a very large area. The Scripps examination also showed the companies responsible for the chemical dump disobeyed rules about where to place the containers.
The researchers mapped about 15,000 hectares of ocean floor where past studies had shown evidence of poisonous chemicals. The area lies between coastal Los Angeles and Catalina.
“The long-term effect on ocean life and humans is still unknown, and needs extensive study," said Lihini Aluwihare, a member of the Scripps program. But, in 2015,she co-wrote another study that found high amounts of DDT and other chemicals in the fat of bottle nose dolphins. Aluwihare said some studies among small groups showed that DDT-linked health problems have been passed from parents to children.
19.What can we know about Catalina Island
A. It's the smallest island off Los Angeles.
B. Various chemical plants are still there.
C. No man has ever set foot on the island.
D. It's a good option to explore nature.
20.What did the Scripps program find about the chemical dump
A. It's an illegal activity. B. It lasted half a century.

21.What did Lihini Aluwihare want to stress
A. Many dolphins were poisoned to death.
B. Further research should be conducted.
C. Her previous study was a great success.
D. Parents tended to get recovered soon.

Li Jianguo, a 49-year-old teacher at the Tianjin Vocational Institute, is set to be named as one of the “2022 most beautiful teachers” — an annual public award sponsored by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Ministry of Education.
Li has stood out by taking the lead in the training of students in vocational skills, gaining a number of honors including being named a national role model teacher. He has mentored seven national-level technique experts and a team of 14 technique “masters”. One of his students, Guo Jinpeng, who graduated from the institute in 2007, became a college teacher at the Chengdu Auto Vocational and Technical School and was named a national role model teacher in 2019.
Li’s nomination as one of the “most beautiful teachers” reflects that China is focusing on the importance of vocational education and aims to foster more leading personnel with the spirit of craftsmanship in the manufacturing industry.
At an international vocational and technical education conference in Tianjin last month, Li noted that there is no difference between vocational education and ordinary education, and “vocational education is not “secondary” nor should it ever be treated as less than ordinary education”. “Vocational education has the mission of fostering a quality workforce and technical experts for the country. The hardworking spirit is the key to building any ordinary people into leading personnel,” he said.
Li joined the institute in 1993 and later founded a machinery engineering practice center, providing free training to 7,500 people a week. In 2015, he led a team of teachers to work for 40 days to renovate 124 machine tools in the center. Li has devoted himself to building the country’s first additive manufacturing technique and application center at the institute to satisfy the thirst for the country’s human resources in 3D printing.

八、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In the months that followed, the Ruprechts decided to rebuild a less-leaky home equipped against future wildfires and poor air quality. The family’s research led them to passive bined with carefully placed windows, such buildings can reduce a home’s energy needs by 90 percent compared to typical homes.
But the Ruprechts soon discovered their ambitions faced a major obstacle: cost. High construction prices and low insurance payouts have discouraged Marshall fire victims trying to rebuild their homes. The few local companies offering to build passive homes wouldn’t work within the couple’s budget.
That all changed with a link posted in an online community group. It directed Peter Ruprecht to a web page for the RESTORE Passive House, a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home designed for the Marshall fire burn area. The designers promised a $550,000 price tag after government incentives, which the couple could afford.
The couple is now the first to sign up to build the home. “It feels like a no-brainer,” Ruprecht said. “We’re getting better at everything in terms of construction quality, fire resistance, comfort and doing a good job for the planet.”
Debates over construction costs and climate-minded building standards have supercharged local politics in the aftermath of the Marshall fire. Earlier this year, Louisville and Superior – the two communities hit hardest by the disaster — faced intense pressure from fire victims worried compulsory green building codes would further boost construction prices. Both local governments ended up allowing those families to rebuild to earlier, less-strict standards.
The RESTORE Passive House attempts to prove green homes can fit within middle-class budgets. The task could prove critical as governments push to reduce the climate impact of buildings, which account for 13 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and 20 percent of Colorado emissions — largely due to natural gas appliances and an electricity grid dominated by fossil fuels. Passive homes could also help protect families from climate threats like poor air quality and future fires.
27.What’s the major feature of passive buildings
A. Economic. B. Climate-friendly. C. Delicate. D. Costly.
28.What contributed to the Ruprechts’ rebuilding their new home
A. Posting their needs online to raise money.
B. Receiving assistance from insurance company.
C. Connecting with an online design and build team.
D. Negotiating with the local companies.
29.What does the underlined phrase “a no-brainer” in paragraph 4 mean
A. A risky attempt. B. A tough task. C. A stupid idea. D. An easy decision.
30.What does the author intend to tell us in the text
A. The green house for Marshall fire victims isn’t a luxury home.
B. The RESTORE Passive House aims to build green homes for free.
C. All the governments stuck to their strict green building codes.
D. The Ruprechts rebuilt their home despite high construction costs.
九、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Two days after eight e-sports games were officially announced to be included in the 19th Asian Games, China's Edward Gaming (EDG) team earned its first League of Legends World Championship title with a 3-2 win over South Korea in a tough battle on November 7th, immediately drawing cheers from people around the country. The topic "EDG wins" had been viewed more than 2.63 billion times as of press on Sina Weibo, ranking the top trending topic for a long time.
With the popularity of digital technology, new forms of cultural exchanges have been appearing, of which e-sports are the most popular. Unlike texts and videos, e-sports go beyond the barriers of language and are understandable around the world.

In 2020 alone, the sales income of the domestic e-sports industry reached 278.69 billion yuan, and involved 280,000 enterprises, which in tum created over 10 million jobs. According to a media report, nearly 95 percent of graduates from e-sports majors at the Communication University of China in Nanjing, succeeded in finding a job after graduation this year, with 62 percent of them devoted to the e-sports industry, including video game clubs, game design companies and game competition operation companies.
The inclusion of e-sports in major sporting events has been a much-discussed topic in recent years. With more Chinese gaming clubs and teams appearing , the industry is expected to further prosper (繁荣) and continue spreading Chinese culture to the world.

十、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Summer is a time of the year when people usually spend a lot of time outside and many of us like to be in nature. Some research suggests that humans naturally tend to seek connections with nature. We all know the feeling of relaxation when we hear the sound of a forest or ocean waves, partly because nature's sounds are perceived as more pleasant than technological noise.
There are many studies concentrating on the sounds of the forest, bird songs, ocean waves, and waterfalls. In a 2023 study, university students were exposed to nature's sounds (valley water and birds in the forest sounds) and an urban sound (a road traffic sound) while completing attention missions. The scores of the missions were higher when the subjects were exposed to natural sounds.
The sound of a fountain and singing birds may facilitate recovery from the excitement of our sympathetic nerve system. This may be a reason why people like to have fountains and birdbaths in their backyards to help them relax, especially after a stressful day.
Some studies suggest that water sounds have the most effect on health and positive affectional outcomes, while bird sounds have the most effect on relieving stress. Nature sounds may change the connections in our brain and help decrease the body's response to stress.
An interesting study was done in Japan on male patients with gambling disorders (a behavioral addiction). The patients were exposed to high-definition forest or city sounds using headphones. Medical devices were applied to measure the patients' heart rates and psychological conditions. The results indicated that the negative emotions were markedly lessened when the patients listened to the forest sound. The researchers concluded that the sound of the forest was able to relax people physiologically and psychologically.
Since the sounds of nature can have lasting positive effects on our body and brain, let's use them. They are plentiful and available for free.
35.What does the performance of the university students reveal
A. These students are expert at researching into nature.
B. Listening to natural sounds helps students concentrate.
C. Exposure lo sounds can boost people's passion for nature.
D. The subjects that the students major in arc related to sounds.
36.What can be inferred about the sympathetic nerve system
A. It is easily affected by nature.
B. It senses to regulate human emotions.
C. It comes with stress when it is active.
D. It gets healthier when a person is more excited.
37.Which of the following contributes most to good mood
A. Water sounds. B. Bird singing. C. Traffic sounds. D. Wind blowing.
38.What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sounds Play an Important Role in People's Life
B. Researchers have Made New Discoveries About Nature
C. Sounds of Nature Help Facilitate Physical and Mental Health
D. People Tend to Settle in Forests to Achieve Sound Mind and Body

My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it. By chance, a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.
We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options. There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world, but we tried our luck, sent a request, and to our surprise, landed a three-month job in Grenada, so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.
Inspired by a Canadian couple, we decided to start our own travel blog. We began by writing about The British Virgin Islands, highlighting the beautiful beaches. However, for every photo album of a beautiful beach, there were 10 photos of trash(垃圾). It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue, especially on such primitive and remote beaches. So, we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick upon our daily dog walks.
The more we looked into plastic pollution, the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution. From that point, we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free. We changed our daily routines, our way of living, and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.
It’s been over three years now and we continue to do what we can. This journey has led us to some amazing places, working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.
Our aim now is to keep on going. We love connecting with like-minded people. It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting. Who would have guessed

When I was a boy, I lived across the road from a camp. For nine months out of a year, the camp was mostly empty, so it was my own personal playground. I would ride my bike up and down the quiet road. I would shoot basketballs alone at the court no matter how many times I missed. I would even explore the woodlands near the camp to look for buried treasures in my imagination.
In summer when the camp opened, I would swim every day in the pool. Then I would sneak into(溜进) the camp's kitchen to get a treasure of my own. My smiling grandma worked there and would hand me a hot roll and some coins from her pocket. I would take my treasure down to the vending machine(自动售货机) and buy myself a sweet can of Coca Cola to quench my thirst and lighten my heart.
Those memories are over 40 years old now, yet they still live in my mind like it was yesterday. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the old days and talk to that little boy. I would tell him to enjoy and cherish each day he had there. I would tell him that every moment is a gift of life. I would tell him to try not to blink(眨眼睛) because the years were flying silently. Most of all, I would tell him to stop and hug his grandma every time he met her.
Life seems so short at times. The longest life still seems too brief to learn all we have to learn, to do all we want to do, and to share the love we need to share. What we should do properly is to see the preciousness of each and every second, and live it like it was our last. May we all do so.

Southern California's Catalina Island is a popular destination for nature lovers. It is reachable by boat from Los Angeles and San Diego. Most of the small island is a government-protected wild area. But, a report last October in the Los Angeles Times newspaper raised public concern about the water surrounding Catalina. The newspaper discovered that industrial companies for years had been dumping(倾倒) the insect poison DDT into the ocean near Catalina. The practice began in the 1940s and ended in the 1970s.
The newspaper report led to a search and study of the area by scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego (UCSD). The research team discovered about 25,000 large containers, below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. The scientists suspected the containers held DDT, and other chemicals used to make the poison.
Eric Terrill, who led the Scripps program that worked on the project, said the finding was a surprise as the containers were spread over a very large area. The Scripps examination also showed the companies responsible for the chemical dump disobeyed rules about where to place the containers.
The researchers mapped about 15,000 hectares of ocean floor where past studies had shown evidence of poisonous chemicals. The area lies between coastal Los Angeles and Catalina.
“The long-term effect on ocean life and humans is still unknown, and needs extensive study," said Lihini Aluwihare, a member of the Scripps program. But, in 2015,she co-wrote another study that found high amounts of DDT and other chemicals in the fat of bottle nose dolphins. Aluwihare said some studies among small groups showed that DDT-linked health problems have been passed from parents to children.
19.What can we know about Catalina Island

Li Jianguo, a 49-year-old teacher at the Tianjin Vocational Institute, is set to be named as one of the “2022 most beautiful teachers” — an annual public award sponsored by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Ministry of Education.
Li has stood out by taking the lead in the training of students in vocational skills, gaining a number of honors including being named a national role model teacher. He has mentored seven national-level technique experts and a team of 14 technique “masters”. One of his students, Guo Jinpeng, who graduated from the institute in 2007, became a college teacher at the Chengdu Auto Vocational and Technical School and was named a national role model teacher in 2019.
Li’s nomination as one of the “most beautiful teachers” reflects that China is focusing on the importance of vocational education and aims to foster more leading personnel with the spirit of craftsmanship in the manufacturing industry.
At an international vocational and technical education conference in Tianjin last month, Li noted that there is no difference between vocational education and ordinary education, and “vocational education is not “secondary” nor should it ever be treated as less than ordinary education”. “Vocational education has the mission of fostering a quality workforce and technical experts for the country. The hardworking spirit is the key to building any ordinary people into leading personnel,” he said.
Li joined the institute in 1993 and later founded a machinery engineering practice center, providing free training to 7,500 people a week. In 2015, he led a team of teachers to work for 40 days to renovate 124 machine tools in the center. Li has devoted himself to building the country’s first additive manufacturing technique and application center at the institute to satisfy the thirst for the country’s human resources in 3D printing.

In the months that followed, the Ruprechts decided to rebuild a less-leaky home equipped against future wildfires and poor air quality. The family’s research led them to passive bined with carefully placed windows, such buildings can reduce a home’s energy needs by 90 percent compared to typical homes.
But the Ruprechts soon discovered their ambitions faced a major obstacle: cost. High construction prices and low insurance payouts have discouraged Marshall fire victims trying to rebuild their homes. The few local companies offering to build passive homes wouldn’t work within the couple’s budget.
That all changed with a link posted in an online community group. It directed Peter Ruprecht to a web page for the RESTORE Passive House, a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home designed for the Marshall fire burn area. The designers promised a $550,000 price tag after government incentives, which the couple could afford.
The couple is now the first to sign up to build the home. “It feels like a no-brainer,” Ruprecht said. “We’re getting better at everything in terms of construction quality, fire resistance, comfort and doing a good job for the planet.”
Debates over construction costs and climate-minded building standards have supercharged local politics in the aftermath of the Marshall fire. Earlier this year, Louisville and Superior – the two communities hit hardest by the disaster — faced intense pressure from fire victims worried compulsory green building codes would further boost construction prices. Both local governments ended up allowing those families to rebuild to earlier, less-strict standards.
The RESTORE Passive House attempts to prove green homes can fit within middle-class budgets. The task could prove critical as governments push to reduce the climate impact of buildings, which account for 13 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and 20 percent of Colorado emissions — largely due to natural gas appliances and an electricity grid dominated by fossil fuels. Passive homes could also help protect families from climate threats like poor air quality and future fires.
27.What’s the major feature of passive buildings
A. Economic. B. Climate-friendly. C. Delicate. D. Costly.
28.What contributed to the Ruprechts’ rebuilding their new home
A. Posting their needs online to raise money.
B. Receiving assistance from insurance company.
C. Connecting with an online design and build team.
D. Negotiating with the local companies.
29.What does the underlined phrase “a no-brainer” in paragraph 4 mean
A. A risky attempt. B. A tough task. C. A stupid idea. D. An easy decision.
30.What does the author intend to tell us in the text
A. The green house for Marshall fire victims isn’t a luxury home.
B. The RESTORE Passive House aims to build green homes for free.
C. All the governments stuck to their strict green building codes.
D. The Ruprechts rebuilt their home despite high construction costs.

十、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Summer is a time of the year when people usually spend a lot of time outside and many of us like to be in nature. Some research suggests that humans naturally tend to seek connections with nature. We all know the feeling of relaxation when we hear the sound of a forest or ocean waves, partly because nature's sounds are perceived as more pleasant than technological noise.
There are many studies concentrating on the sounds of the forest, bird songs, ocean waves, and waterfalls. In a 2023 study, university students were exposed to nature's sounds (valley water and birds in the forest sounds) and an urban sound (a road traffic sound) while completing attention missions. The scores of the missions were higher when the subjects were exposed to natural sounds.
The sound of a fountain and singing birds may facilitate recovery from the excitement of our sympathetic nerve system. This may be a reason why people like to have fountains and birdbaths in their backyards to help them relax, especially after a stressful day.
Some studies suggest that water sounds have the most effect on health and positive affectional outcomes, while bird sounds have the most effect on relieving stress. Nature sounds may change the connections in our brain and help decrease the body's response to stress.
An interesting study was done in Japan on male patients with gambling disorders (a behavioral addiction). The patients were exposed to high-definition forest or city sounds using headphones. Medical devices were applied to measure the patients' heart rates and psychological conditions. The results indicated that the negative emotions were markedly lessened when the patients listened to the forest sound. The researchers concluded that the sound of the forest was able to relax people physiologically and psychologically.
Since the sounds of nature can have lasting positive effects on our body and brain, let's use them. They are plentiful and available for free.
35.What does the performance of the university students reveal
A. These students are expert at researching into nature.
B. Listening to natural sounds helps students concentrate.
C. Exposure lo sounds can boost people's passion for nature.
D. The subjects that the students major in arc related to sounds.
