I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo, Paris for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.
I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.
I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.
4. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home
A. To ensure their survival. B. To observe their differences.
C. To teach them life skills. D. To let them play with his kids.
5. What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3
A. Behave badly. B. Lose their way. C. Sleep soundly. D. Miss their mom.
6. What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Risky.
7. Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo
A. They frightened the children. B. They became difficult to contain.
C. They annoyed the neighbours. D. They started fighting each other.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. B
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home. (在全球范围内，动物园里三分之一的苏门答腊老虎幼崽活不到成年，所以我决定在家里全天候照顾它们)”可知，作者把老虎幼崽带回家是为了确保他们的存活。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd ”（随着它们的活动越来越多，我们白天让它们在房子里自由活动，但当我们睡觉时，我们必须把它们关在一个大房间里，否则它们会）以及后文“We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.”（我们早上下楼时发现他们把房间弄得乱七八糟，让它看起来像个动物园。）可知，作者不得不把老虎们关在一个大房间里，否则它们就会调皮捣蛋，表现不好。早上下楼时发现他们把房间弄得乱七八糟，看起来像个动物园。故画线词意思是“表现不好”。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired.(由于需要大量的精力来照顾它们，事情很快变得非常紧张。有一段艰难的日子，我只是觉得非常累)”可推知，作者在家里饲养小老虎需要大量精力照顾它，这让作者感觉非常疲惫，因此作者认为在家里养小老虎是累人的。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go.(当Spot和Stripe四个月大的时候，他们正在学习如何开门和跳栅栏，我们知道是时候让他们离开了)”可知，作者决定把Spot 和Stripe送回动物园是因为他们变得难以控制。故选B。

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, 创伤后应激障碍) is a mental disorder that develops among people who have experienced or observed traumatic things such as wars, disasters or other violent events. At the heart of PTSD is a memory that cannot be controlled. It can affect the everyday lives of its sufferers in forms such as flashbacks, nightmares and anxiety.
A new study done by researchers from Yale University and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City suggests that patients with PTSD process their traumatic memories differently than regular memories.
The researchers did brain scans of 28 PTSD patients. I hey asked the patients to listen to recorded narrations of their own memories. Some of the recorded memories were neutral, some were simply “sad”, and some were traumatic.
They found that when the patients listened to the sad memories, the hippocampus (海马体), which is responsible for forming memories, was activatea. But when they listened to the traumatic memories, a different area, called the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC. 后扣带回皮质), was engaged. The PCC is not a memory region. Instead, it regulates internal experiences, such as daydreaming.
The more severe PTSD symptoms are, the more active the PCC is. “The brain doesn’t look like it’s in a state of memory; it looks like it is a state of present experience.” Daniela Schiller, one of the authors of the study, told The New York Times. “That means people with PTSD feel as though they’re experiencing the traumatic event again in the present moment, rather than thinking back on it like atypical memory.”
The new finding might hold hope for new PTSD therapies (治疗). Future therapies are expected to focus on helping PTSD patients return their traumatic memories to the hippocampus so that they can treat them as regular and non-disruptive (非破坏性的) memories. Changing the ways of thinking could help the brain reduce the feeling of immediate threat caused by trauma, according to Ilan HarRaz-Rotem, one of the paper’s authors.
8. What is the core issue regarding PTSD according to the text
A. An uncontrollable memory. B. Brain damage.
C. Anxiety disorders. D. Nightmares.
9. What happened when PTSD patients listened to their traumatic memories, according to the study
A. Their hippocampus was closed.
B. Their internal experiences were blocked.
C. Their PCC area became active.
D. Their regular memory function improved.
10. According to Schiller when individuals with severe PTSD listen to traumatic memories, their brains will be in a state of ________.
A. memory recall B. daydreaming
C. current experience D. boredom
11. What could be a possible future therapy for PTSD patients based on the study’s findings
A. Controlling the hippocampus.
B. Removing the feeling of threat.
C. Normalizing their traumatic memories.
D. Changing their brain structure.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. C
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“But when they listened to the traumatic memories, a different area, called the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC. 后扣带回皮质), was engaged.(但当他们听到创伤性记忆时，另一个叫做后扣带回皮质（PCC）区域被激活了。)”可知，当PTSD患者听他们的创伤记忆时他们的PCC区域变得活跃起来。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The brain doesn’t look like it’s in a state of memory; it looks like it is a state of present experience.(大脑看起来不像是处于记忆状态；它看起来像是一种当前体验的状态。)”可知，根据Schiller的说法，当患有严重创伤后应激障碍的人听到创伤记忆时，他们的大脑将处于当前体验的状态。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The new finding might hold hope for new PTSD therapies (治疗). Future therapies are expected to focus on helping PTSD patients return their traumatic memories to the hippocampus so that they can treat them as regular and non-disruptive (非破坏性的) memories.(这项新发现可能为新的创伤后应激障碍治疗带来希望。未来的治疗有望集中在帮助创伤后应激障碍患者将创伤记忆恢复到海马体上，这样他们就可以把它们当作常规的、非破坏性的记忆来对待。)”可知，基于这项研究的发现，创伤后应激障碍患者未来可能的治疗方法是使他们的创伤记忆正常化。故选C。
D
Sugar-free cookies, sugar-free candy, and diet soda—are these better for you After sugar became a no-no in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food and drinks acted as a replacement for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Being claimed to be ZERO sugar means the food and drinks are healthier, better for diabetics, and help you slim down ... Right Wrong. Sugar-free products aren’t better for you. In fact, they are worse. For most sugar-free products, it means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem is that these sweeteners do not come from natural soures and they can do you more harm than good.
Let’s get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives even contain sugar and the ones that have chemicals your body often does not know how to process. Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar so only a small quantity of them are needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie’. It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why so many sugar-free replacements are classified as “non-nutritive”. These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under some names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn sugar-free alternatives relate to weight gain and Type-2 diabetes. Besides, artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn’t know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
Here is a good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like stevia (甜叶菊) or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugar that comes from fruits and stay away from products claimed to be sugar-free.
12. What do most sugar-free products have in common
A. They don’t taste sweet. B. They are free of calories.
C. They are rich in nutrition. D. They have artificial sweeteners.
13. What can be inferred about artificial sweeteners
A. They are as sweet as sugar. B. They pose a big risk to health.
C. They can be metabolized easily D. They have long been added to food.
14. What does the author advise us to do
A. To keep a balanced diet. B. To stay away from sugary products.
C. To choose fewer artificial ingredients. D. To take in sugar from natural sources
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why are sugar-free products bad for your health
B. How will sugar-free products affect your body
C. What can be called sugar-free products
D. Why are sugar-free products popular
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。如今市场上充斥着各种“无糖食品”和“无糖饮料”，但实际上存在更大的健康隐患。文章说明了人造甜味剂的危害以及建议远离人工甜味剂，寻找无糖的天然甜味剂，
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“For most sugar-free products, it means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar.(对于大多数无糖产品来说，这意味着使用人工甜味剂来代替真正的糖)”可知，“无糖产品”通常含有人工甜味剂。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In turn sugai-free alternatives relate to weight gain and Type-2 diabetes. Besides, artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar which impacts everything you eat. (反过来，无糖替代品与体重增加和2型糖尿病有关。此外，人造甜味剂还会损害肠道分解糖的能力，这会影响你吃的所有东西)”可知，这些所谓的“无糖产品”中含有的人工甜味剂会导致肥胖和糖尿病，还会损害肠道分解糖的能力，因此是更大的健康隐患。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Here is a good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like stevia (甜叶菊) or date sugar.(这里有一个很好的经验法则：远离人工甜味剂，寻找无糖的天然甜味剂，如甜菊糖或枣糖)”可知，作者建议摄取自然的糖分——比如来自水果的糖。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sugar-free products aren’t better for you. In fact, they are worse. For most sugar-free products, it means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem is that these sweeteners do not come from natural sourees and they can do you more harm than good.(无糖产品并不对你更好。事实上，他们更糟糕。对于大多数无糖产品来说，这意味着使用人工甜味剂来代替真正的糖。问题是这些甜味剂不是来自天然来源，它们对你的危害大于好处)”结合下文具体介绍无糖产品实际更甜，并且对身体对糖的代谢有影响可知，A选项“为什么无糖产品对你的健康有害？”最符合文章标题。故选A。

Housework Really Matters
As a high school student, we need to attach importance to labor education and a sense of responsibility.
Last weekend at home I took on various household chores such as sweeping the floor, washing the dishes, and doing the laundry, giving my parents some well-deserved rest. Unskillful as I was, I followed my parents' example, devoting myself to the work. Though exhausted, I benefited a lot from the experience.
Personally, I think helping out with the chores is both educational and rewarding. Not only have I learnt some basic life skills, but I have come to realize the significance of contributing to the family and appreciating my parents' daily hard work.

I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo, Paris for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.
I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.
I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.
4. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home
A. To ensure their survival. B. To observe their differences.
C. To teach them life skills. D. To let them play with his kids.
5. What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3
A. Behave badly. B. Lose their way. C. Sleep soundly. D. Miss their mom.
6. What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Risky.
7. Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo
A. They frightened the children. B. They became difficult to contain.
C. They annoyed the neighbours. D. They started fighting each other.
C
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, 创伤后应激障碍) is a mental disorder that develops among people who have experienced or observed traumatic things such as wars, disasters or other violent events. At the heart of PTSD is a memory that cannot be controlled. It can affect the everyday lives of its sufferers in forms such as flashbacks, nightmares and anxiety.
A new study done by researchers from Yale University and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City suggests that patients with PTSD process their traumatic memories differently than regular memories.
The researchers did brain scans of 28 PTSD patients. I hey asked the patients to listen to recorded narrations of their own memories. Some of the recorded memories were neutral, some were simply “sad”, and some were traumatic.
They found that when the patients listened to the sad memories, the hippocampus (海马体), which is responsible for forming memories, was activatea. But when they listened to the traumatic memories, a different area, called the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC. 后扣带回皮质), was engaged. The PCC is not a memory region. Instead, it regulates internal experiences, such as daydreaming.
The more severe PTSD symptoms are, the more active the PCC is. “The brain doesn’t look like it’s in a state of memory; it looks like it is a state of present experience.” Daniela Schiller, one of the authors of the study, told The New York Times. “That means people with PTSD feel as though they’re experiencing the traumatic event again in the present moment, rather than thinking back on it like atypical memory.”
The new finding might hold hope for new PTSD therapies (治疗). Future therapies are expected to focus on helping PTSD patients return their traumatic memories to the hippocampus so that they can treat them as regular and non-disruptive (非破坏性的) memories. Changing the ways of thinking could help the brain reduce the feeling of immediate threat caused by trauma, according to Ilan HarRaz-Rotem, one of the paper’s authors.
8. What is the core issue regarding PTSD according to the text
A. An uncontrollable memory. B. Brain damage.
C. Anxiety disorders. D. Nightmares.
9. What happened when PTSD patients listened to their traumatic memories, according to the study
A. Their hippocampus was closed.
B. Their internal experiences were blocked.
C. Their PCC area became active.
D. Their regular memory function improved.
10. According to Schiller when individuals with severe PTSD listen to traumatic memories, their brains will be in a state of ________.
A. memory recall B. daydreaming
C. current experience D. boredom
11. What could be a possible future therapy for PTSD patients based on the study’s findings
A. Controlling the hippocampus.
B. Removing the feeling of threat.
C. Normalizing their traumatic memories.
D. Changing their brain structure.
D
Sugar-free cookies, sugar-free candy, and diet soda—are these better for you After sugar became a no-no in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food and drinks acted as a replacement for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Being claimed to be ZERO sugar means the food and drinks are healthier, better for diabetics, and help you slim down ... Right Wrong. Sugar-free products aren’t better for you. In fact, they are worse. For most sugar-free products, it means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem is that these sweeteners do not come from natural soures and they can do you more harm than good.
Let’s get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives even contain sugar and the ones that have chemicals your body often does not know how to process. Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar so only a small quantity of them are needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie’. It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why so many sugar-free replacements are classified as “non-nutritive”. These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under some names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn sugar-free alternatives relate to weight gain and Type-2 diabetes. Besides, artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn’t know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
Here is a good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like stevia (甜叶菊) or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugar that comes from fruits and stay away from products claimed to be sugar-free.
12. What do most sugar-free products have in common
A. They don’t taste sweet. B. They are free of calories.
C. They are rich in nutrition. D. They have artificial sweeteners.
13. What can be inferred about artificial sweeteners
A. They are as sweet as sugar. B. They pose a big risk to health.
C. They can be metabolized easily D. They have long been added to food.
14. What does the author advise us to do
A. To keep a balanced diet. B. To stay away from sugary products.
C. To choose fewer artificial ingredients. D. To take in sugar from natural sources
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why are sugar-free products bad for your health
B. How will sugar-free products affect your body
C. What can be called sugar-free products
D. Why are sugar-free products popular
