The Oldest Cookbooks from Libraries Around the World
The Oldest Cookbooks from Libraries Around the World
Libro de arte coquinaria
The Library of Congress
The 15th-century Libro de arte coquinaria, or The Art of Cooking, is the work of Maestro Martino da Como. Martino was known for cooking for his employer. Along the way, he achieved fame as “the prince of cooks.” Martino’s work is significant for another reason too. In the 15th century, his recipes made up a major part of the world’s first printed cookbook, Platina’s De honesta voluptate et valetudine.
Shanjia Qinggong
The Harvard-Yenching Library
Harvard-Yenching owns a 17th-century copy of the Simple Offerings of Rural Households (Shanjia Qinggong). Containing over 100 recipes, Simple Offerings is probably the earliest surviving cookbook in Chinese. The author, Lin Hong, was a man of letters who lived in the Southern Song Dynasty. Lin evidently preferred vegetarian foods, as most of his recipes were plant-based.
Wushi Zhongkui lu
The Harvard-Yenching Library
Harvard-Yenching is also home to a 17th-century copy of the Cooking Manual of Madame Wu (Wushi Zhongkui lu), one of two surviving cookbooks by a Chinese woman before the 20th century. Unfortunately, few of Madame Wu’s personal details are known. Scholars guess that she lived in the larger Shanghai region during the Southern Song Dynasty. Madame Wu apparently had a weakness for sweets, as she devoted a full chapter of her cookbook just to desserts.
Complete Kitchen and Cellar Dictionary The Oslo Public Library
The Oslo Public Library, known as the Deichman Library, has a 1716 copy of the Complete Kitchen and Cellar Dictionary, written by the German writer Paul Jacob Marperger. It belonged to a Norwegian lawyer named Johan Fredrik Bartholin, who donated it to the city of Christiania (the former name for Oslo) in 1784. The book has been in the Deichman collection since it opened in 1785.
1. Who greatly contributed to the world’s first printed cookbook
A. Lin Hong. B. Paul Jacob Marperger.
C. Maestro Martino da Como. D. Madame Wu.
2. What similarity do the two Chinese cookbooks share
A. Their authors were a man of letters.
B. They focused on plant-based recipes.
C. Their copies first appeared in Shanghai.
D. They were written in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Twenty years ago, I entered a college, but suddenly my world turned upside down on September 11, 2001. College seemed less important. Somewhere among the images that flashed across the TV were soldiers, and I thought I should be one of them.
I had the impossible task of persuading my parents that this was a good choice. It’s not that they weren’t proud; they were concerned and scared. Within weeks of 9/11, I joined the Army with the support of my family behind me.
The lifestyle change of civilian (平民) to soldier wasn’t a smooth process. My biggest challenge was military bearing. I smiled too much. Obviously, soldiers don’t smile, but I couldn’t help but smile. I did pay for it! My “pearly white teeth” earned me plenty of extra training. I had no choice but to dig deep and push my strength and endurance (耐力) to their limits.
Before the sun rose, we awoke to begin another day. It was painful, horrible, tiring... and so much fun. That non-military-bearing smile rarely left my face. I learned to love the absolute craziness of the Army. I smiled through it all.
A few months after graduating from boot camp, I crossed paths with one of my fellow soldiers. He smiled and said, “Thanks for showing that smiling face every day. You really brightened my days during the difficult times.”
What I learned from that brief conversation was that even in the toughest, most physically tiring, and sweaty situations, a small symbol of human kindness and connection goes a long way. Sometimes, we don’t even know the joy we bring to others.
I stayed in the military for ten years. Challenges continued to get thrown in my way, but I never lost my smile.
4. How did the author’s parents feel about his decision
A. Puzzled. B. Worried. C. Satisfied. D. Appreciative.
5. What troubled the author most in the army
A. The rules for soldiers’ behavior. B. The skills soldiers should master.
C. The hard daily life in the army. D. The limited time for relaxation.
6. What did smiles bring to the author in boot camp
A. Friendship. B. Praise. C. Kindness. D. Punishment.
7. What can be inferred from the fellow soldier’s words
A. He decided to follow the author’s example.
B. He felt encouraged by the author’s smile.
C. Smiles help bridge the gap between people.
D. Smiles are the most powerful tool in communication.
C
There are two kinds of people: those who like to pack up leftovers as soon as dinner is over, and those who let leftovers sit out for a few hours so they can cool down.
However, both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems.
Whether you should immediately put food in the fridge or let it sit out to cool depends on its temperature. Dangerous bacterial (细菌的) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F. Potentially harmful bacteria grows most rapidly at these temperatures.
Placing lots of hot food in the fridge can raise the temperature of the fridge into this danger zone. Fridge temperatures should always be set below 40 degrees F. This may help the food get out of the danger zone as fast as possible.
However, there’s no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to. If you are a forgetful person, or if you won’t be around to store the food after it has cooled enough, go ahead and put it in the fridge. Your fridge can handle the heat and get the food cooled quickly.
Food should never stay out at room temperature for more than two hours. Leftovers can become breeding grounds (滋生地) for dangerous bacteria if they’re left out too long and can make people sick.
“It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark,” says Serena Poon, nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu’s Grand Diploma training program. “In fact, the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge, the better.”
8. Which temperature most contributes to the growth of harmful bacteria
A. Below 40 degrees F. B. Between 39～40 degrees F.
C. Between 41～135 degrees F. D. Above 135 degrees F.
9. What is the author’s attitude towards putting hot food directly into the fridge
A. Unclear. B. Neutral. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.
10. What does Serena Poon suggest doing about the leftovers
A. Dividing them into small parts.
B. Storing them in the fridge right away.
C. Waiting until they cool down completely outside.
D. Leaving them sitting at room temperature for two hours.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. When to Pack up Leftovers. B. How to Prevent Bacterial Growth
C. To Cool Food Outside or in the Fridge D. A Good Idea to Store Food in the Fridge
D
Sleep, considered a luxury (奢侈) by many, is essential for a person’s wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep increases a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity, diabetes (糖尿病), and cardiovascular (心血管的) diseases. Now, a new study by Boston’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT) has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.
Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research was not trying to find the link between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the 100 students in his introduction to Solid-State Chemistry class. Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist-worn device which tracks a person’s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.
However, the study, published in the journal “Science Learning” on October 1, 2019, discovered a surprising insight. Then was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his/her grade on the 11 quizzes, three midterms, and the final exam administered during the semester.
Even more interesting, it was also not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.
The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher - performing student. “When you go to bed matters. Grossman says. If you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything.”
12. What is the new finding about sleep
A. It’s essential for a person’s health. B. Sleeping less may cause obesity.
C. Sleeping too much is dangerous. D. Enough sleep leads to better grades.
13. What does the underlined word “Fitbits” in paragraph 2 refer to
A Wearable devices. B. Questionnaires.
C. Fitness equipment. D. Smartphones.
14. Which of the following best describes the final result the new study
A. Doubtful. B. Predictable.
C. Disappointing. D. Unexpected.
15. What will benefit students’ study according to Grossman
A. Sleeping for 5 hours each day. B. Heading to bed at 3 a.m. every day.
C. Getting enough sleep while learning. D. Going to bed early only before a test.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What makes you cry Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our faces. We all have the power to cry, but is that a good thing
When you think about it, shedding tears (流泪) from your eyes is an unusual thing to do. But it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad, upset or even when we’re very happy. ____16____ However, the feeling is the same—your cheeks puff up (肿胀), your eyes tighten and before you know it, tears are streaming down your face. ____17____ And it’s suggested that it’s women who cry more than men.
A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted that they cry 72 times a year. ____18____ Writing for the BBC, Adam Rutherford says, “according to pretty much every study done, women do cry more than men.” But does this mean men don’t get as upset or emotional as women, or are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings
____19____ This can be somewhere where emotions run high—someone might be stressed, their workload might be too much. As therapist(治疗师), Joann a Cross told the BBC, “crying is often a build-up of frustration and undealt-with situations and it’s a bit of a final straw(稻草) moment.”
But crying in the office or elsewhere can be cathartic (情感宣泄的), which can actually make you feel better. ____20____ Bawling(放声大哭) your eyes out shows others how you feel, so perhaps it’s a crying shame that more of us, particularly men, don’t cry more often.
A. This was, on average, more than men.
B. You may burst into tears for something sorrowful.
C. What causes this reaction differs from person to person.
D. Most adults think it embarrassing to cry loudly in public.
E. Maybe it dissolves or clears the negative or sad feelings you’ve had.
F. Some of us may sniffle (抽鼻子) a little while others may cry like a baby.
G. One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace.

Every year, hundreds of young elephants are orphaned across the African continent and rarely have a chance of ____25____ in the wild and are more often than not, left to die. “We rescue babies, and we provide ____26____ for them.

We are trying to create a culture where people ____29____,” said Roxy Danckwerts, the founder of Wild Is Life.
Moyo is about four and a half years old now. She is healthy, playful, and has become some kind of ambassador to the nursery.

She is gentle, calm, very very ____31____ to the other elephants that come into the nursery. She is also very good with people.
But unfortunately, they’re not much more than objects of money in the eyes of ivory(象牙) dealers. Zimbabwe has a ____32____ elephant-hunting problem. Some regions are ____33____ as much as 75 percent of the elephant population over the past 10 years. That is why Danckwerts feels excited at China’s decision to ____34____ illegal ivory sales, which he believes has become a major turning point and a signal to the world that China has made a ____35____.

Twenty years ago, I entered a college, but suddenly my world turned upside down on September 11, 2001. College seemed less important. Somewhere among the images that flashed across the TV were soldiers, and I thought I should be one of them.
I had the impossible task of persuading my parents that this was a good choice. It’s not that they weren’t proud; they were concerned and scared. Within weeks of 9/11, I joined the Army with the support of my family behind me.
The lifestyle change of civilian (平民) to soldier wasn’t a smooth process. My biggest challenge was military bearing. I smiled too much. Obviously, soldiers don’t smile, but I couldn’t help but smile. I did pay for it! My “pearly white teeth” earned me plenty of extra training. I had no choice but to dig deep and push my strength and endurance (耐力) to their limits.
Before the sun rose, we awoke to begin another day. It was painful, horrible, tiring... and so much fun. That non-military-bearing smile rarely left my face. I learned to love the absolute craziness of the Army. I smiled through it all.
A few months after graduating from boot camp, I crossed paths with one of my fellow soldiers. He smiled and said, “Thanks for showing that smiling face every day. You really brightened my days during the difficult times.”
What I learned from that brief conversation was that even in the toughest, most physically tiring, and sweaty situations, a small symbol of human kindness and connection goes a long way. Sometimes, we don’t even know the joy we bring to others.
I stayed in the military for ten years. Challenges continued to get thrown in my way, but I never lost my smile.
4. How did the author’s parents feel about his decision
A. Puzzled. B. Worried. C. Satisfied. D. Appreciative.
5. What troubled the author most in the army
A. The rules for soldiers’ behavior. B. The skills soldiers should master.
C. The hard daily life in the army. D. The limited time for relaxation.
6. What did smiles bring to the author in boot camp
A. Friendship. B. Praise. C. Kindness. D. Punishment.
7. What can be inferred from the fellow soldier’s words
A. He decided to follow the author’s example.
B. He felt encouraged by the author’s smile.
C. Smiles help bridge the gap between people.
D. Smiles are the most powerful tool in communication.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从平民到士兵的生活方式转变的过程。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s not that they weren’t proud; they were concerned and scared. (这并不是说他们不骄傲；他们既担心又害怕。)”可知，作者的父母对他的决定的感到担心和害怕。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“My biggest challenge was military bearing. I smiled too much. Obviously, soldiers don’t smile, but I couldn’t help but smile.(我最大的挑战是军事仪态。我笑得太多了。显然，士兵是不会笑的，但我忍不住笑了。)”可知，军事仪态应该属于士兵的行为准则之一，所以在军队里，最困扰作者的应该是士兵的行为准则。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“ I did pay for it! My ‘pearly white teeth’ earned me plenty of extra training. I had no choice but to dig deep and push my strength and endurance (耐力) to their limits.(我确实付出了代价!我的“珍珠般洁白的牙齿”为我赢得了很多额外的训练。我别无选择，只能深入挖掘，把我的力量和耐力发挥到极限。)”可推知，文中我的“珍珠般洁白的牙齿”是指作者的微笑，所以微笑给新兵训练营的作者带来的是额外的训练这一惩罚。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段战友的话“He smiled and said, ‘Thanks for showing that smiling face every day. You really brightened my days during the difficult times.’(他笑着说：“谢谢你每天都露出那张笑脸。在我艰难的日子里，你让我的生活充满了光明。”)”可推知，作者的微笑使他感到鼓舞。故选B项。

There are two kinds of people: those who like to pack up leftovers as soon as dinner is over, and those who let leftovers sit out for a few hours so they can cool down.
However, both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems.
Whether you should immediately put food in the fridge or let it sit out to cool depends on its temperature. Dangerous bacterial (细菌的) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F. Potentially harmful bacteria grows most rapidly at these temperatures.
Placing lots of hot food in the fridge can raise the temperature of the fridge into this danger zone. Fridge temperatures should always be set below 40 degrees F. This may help the food get out of the danger zone as fast as possible.
However, there’s no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to. If you are a forgetful person, or if you won’t be around to store the food after it has cooled enough, go ahead and put it in the fridge. Your fridge can handle the heat and get the food cooled quickly.
Food should never stay out at room temperature for more than two hours. Leftovers can become breeding grounds (滋生地) for dangerous bacteria if they’re left out too long and can make people sick.
“It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark,” says Serena Poon, nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu’s Grand Diploma training program. “In fact, the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge, the better.”
8. Which temperature most contributes to the growth of harmful bacteria
A. Below 40 degrees F. B. Between 39～40 degrees F.
C. Between 41～135 degrees F. D. Above 135 degrees F.
9. What is the author’s attitude towards putting hot food directly into the fridge
A. Unclear. B. Neutral. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.
10. What does Serena Poon suggest doing about the leftovers
A. Dividing them into small parts.
B. Storing them in the fridge right away.
C. Waiting until they cool down completely outside.
D. Leaving them sitting at room temperature for two hours.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. When to Pack up Leftovers. B. How to Prevent Bacterial Growth
C. To Cool Food Outside or in the Fridge D. A Good Idea to Store Food in the Fridge
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了热食直接放入冰箱冷却保存还是先放在外面冷却后再放入冰箱保存的问题。作者提出了自己的看法：是否立即将热食放入冰箱可根据热食的温度进行决定，不过对于直接将热食放于冰箱，作者也支持。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Dangerous bacterial (细菌) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F. Potentially harmful bacteria grows most rapidly at these temperatures.”（危险的细菌在华氏41度到135度之间生长，潜在的有害细菌在这个温度下生长得最快。）可知，在41~135华氏度之间温度最容易滋生有害细菌。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“However, both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems.”（然而，把剩菜长时间放在外面和把热的东西放进冰箱都会引起问题。）和第五段中“However, there’s no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to.”（然而，如果你需要的话，把热的食物直接放进冰箱也没什么坏处。）可推断，作者对直接把热食放入冰箱冷却的做法的态度是中立的。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark,” says Serena Poon, nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu’s Grand Diploma training program. “In fact, the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge, the better.””（蓝带厨艺学院高级文凭培训项目的营养学家瑟琳娜·潘说：“在两小时之前把食物放在外面冷却是可以的。”“事实上，越早把剩菜放进冰箱越好。”）可知，潘瑟琳建议尽快将剩菜放在冰箱冷却。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“There are two kinds of people: those who like to pack up leftovers as soon as dinner is over, and those who let leftovers sit out for a few hours so they can cool down.”（有两种人：一种人喜欢一吃完饭就把剩菜打包，另一种人喜欢把剩菜放在外面放几个小时，让它们冷却下来。）可知，本文主要讨论了热食直接放入冰箱冷却保存还是先放在外面冷却后再放入冰箱保存的问题。作者提出了自己的看法：是否立即将热食放入冰箱可根据热食的温度进行决定，不过对于直接将热食放于冰箱，作者也支持，因此最佳标题为“把食物放在外面或冰箱里冷却”。故选C项。
D
Sleep, considered a luxury (奢侈) by many, is essential for a person’s wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep increases a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity, diabetes (糖尿病), and cardiovascular (心血管的) diseases. Now, a new study by Boston’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT) has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.
Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research was not trying to find the link between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the 100 students in his introduction to Solid-State Chemistry class. Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist-worn device which tracks a person’s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.
However, the study, published in the journal “Science Learning” on October 1, 2019, discovered a surprising insight. Then was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his/her grade on the 11 quizzes, three midterms, and the final exam administered during the semester.
Even more interesting, it was also not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.
The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher - performing student. “When you go to bed matters. Grossman says. If you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything.”
12. What is the new finding about sleep
A. It’s essential for a person’s health. B. Sleeping less may cause obesity.
C. Sleeping too much is dangerous. D. Enough sleep leads to better grades.
13. What does the underlined word “Fitbits” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Wearable devices. B. Questionnaires.
C. Fitness equipment. D. Smartphones.
14. Which of the following best describes the final result the new study
A. Doubtful. B. Predictable.
C. Disappointing. D. Unexpected.
15. What will benefit students’ study according to Grossman
A. Sleeping for 5 hours each day. B. Heading to bed at 3 a.m. every day.
C. Getting enough sleep while learning. D. Going to bed early only before a test.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究表明，睡眠不足除了对身体健康造成不良影响之外，也会对学习成绩产生影响。好的睡眠质量是提高学习成绩的关键。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Now, a new study by Boston’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.(现在，波士顿麻省理工学院(MIT)的一项新研究发现，充足的睡眠也是提高学习成绩的关键。)”可知，关于睡眠的新发现是充足的睡眠会带来更好的成绩。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文“Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist worn device which tracks a person’s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement. (相反，这位计算材料科学教授希望这款流行的、可以全天候跟踪人的活动的腕式设备能够显示出体育锻炼和学术成就之间的联系。)”可知Fitbits指的是一种可以穿戴的设备。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“However, the study, published in the journal Science Learning on October 1, 2019, discovered a surprising insight. (然而，这项于2019年10月1日发表在《科学学习》杂志上的研究发现了一个令人惊讶的发现。)”中surprising“令人惊奇的”可推断，这项新研究的最终结果是让人意想不到的。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most. (相反，你在学习期间的睡眠时间才是最重要的。)”以及最后一段中““When you go to bed matters,’ Grossman says. ‘If you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything.’ (“什么时候上床很重要。”格罗斯曼说，“如果你在2点之后上床睡觉，你的表现就会开始下降，即使你仍然睡7个小时。因此，数量并不代表一切。”)”可推断，Grossman认为学习时睡眠充足将有利于学生的学习。故选C。

What makes you cry Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our faces. We all have the power to cry, but is that a good thing
When you think about it, shedding tears (流泪) from your eyes is an unusual thing to do. But it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad, upset or even when we’re very happy. ____16____ However, the feeling is the same—your cheeks puff up (肿胀), your eyes tighten and before you know it, tears are streaming down your face. ____17____ And it’s suggested that it’s women who cry more than men.
A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted that they cry 72 times a year. ____18____ Writing for the BBC, Adam Rutherford says, “according to pretty much every study done, women do cry more than men.” But does this mean men don’t get as upset or emotional as women, or are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings
____19____ This can be somewhere where emotions run high—someone might be stressed, their workload might be too much. As therapist(治疗师), Joann a Cross told the BBC, “crying is often a build-up of frustration and undealt-with situations and it’s a bit of a final straw(稻草) moment.”
But crying in the office or elsewhere can be cathartic (情感宣泄的), which can actually make you feel better. ____20____ Bawling(放声大哭) your eyes out shows others how you feel, so perhaps it’s a crying shame that more of us, particularly men, don’t cry more often.
A. This was, on average, more than men.
B. You may burst into tears for something sorrowful.
C. What causes this reaction differs from person to person.
D. Most adults think it embarrassing to cry loudly in public.
E. Maybe it dissolves or clears the negative or sad feelings you’ve had.
F. Some of us may sniffle (抽鼻子) a little while others may cry like a baby.
G. One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. E
【解析】

【17题详解】
根据后文“And it’s suggested that it’s women who cry more than men.(有研究表明，女性比男性更爱哭。)”可知，此处表示女性比男性更爱哭，因此设空处应该强调不同的人对于哭的不同表现。F选项“Some of us may sniffle(抽鼻子) a little while others may cry like a baby.(我们中的一些人可能会抽鼻子，而另一些人可能会哭得像个婴儿。)”指出有些人哭泣的时候抽鼻子，有些人哭得像个婴儿，符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据前文的“A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted that they cry 72 times a year. (2017年英国的一项研究发现，女性承认她们一年哭72次。)”可知，此处描述的一项调查发现即女性承认她们一年哭72次。A选项“This was, on average, more than men.(这一比例平均高于男性。)”中的this指带前文女性一年哭72次的事实，与男性形成比较，符合语境。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据后文“This can be somewhere where emotions run high—someone might be stressed, their workload might be too much.(这可能是情绪高涨的地方——有些人可能压力很大，他们的工作量可能太多。)”可知，本段强调的是情绪高涨的原因即有人压力很大或者有人工作量太多。G选项“One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace.( 工作场所是我们经历情感和眼泪爆发的一个地方。)”引起下文，指出工作场所是情感和眼泪爆发的一个地方即有些人可能压力很大，他们的工作量可能太多则会在工作场所情感爆发，G选项概括本段段旨，符合语境。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据前文“But crying in the office or elsewhere can be cathartic(情感宣泄的), which can actually make you feel better. (但在办公室或其他地方哭泣可能是一种宣泄，实际上可以让你感觉更好。)”可知，此处指出在办公室或者工作的地方哭泣会是一种情感宣泄，感觉更好。E选项“Maybe it dissolves or clears the negative or sad feelings you’ve had.(也许它会溶解或清除你的消极或悲伤的感觉。)”中的it指代前文的crying，形成呼应，指出哭泣之所以成为情感宣泄让你感觉更好的方式是因为它会溶解或清除你的消极或悲伤的感觉，符合语境。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了听音乐对人们的好处。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：如今，一个常见的现象是看到普通人戴着耳机听音乐，沉浸在自己的世界里。one of+复数名词意为“……之一，……中的一个”，是固定结构，phenomenon的复数形式为phenomena。故填phenomena。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。此处为非谓语，动词absorb和其逻辑主语之间是主动关系，用其现在分词作状语。故填absorbing。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：此外，人们经常与他们的朋友分享满意的记录。名词records前应用以ing结尾的形容词作定语，修饰事物。故填satisfying。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：此外，我们可以从我们生命最深处的压力中获得解脱。in addition“此外”是固定短语，名词作介词宾语。故填addition。
【40题详解】
考查形式主语。句意：事实证明，音乐可以用来治疗疾病。分析可知，此处应用代词it作形式主语，真正主语为that引导的主语从句。句首字母大写，故填It。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。a cure for“……的疗法”是固定搭配，符合句意。故填for。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：听积极平和的音乐会对人产生积极的影响，使许多病人减轻疼痛。单数可数名词impact是泛指概念，应用不定冠词限定，have an impact on“对……有影响”是固定搭配；空后单词positive发音以辅音开头，故填a。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。enable sb to do sth“使某人做某事”是固定句式，动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to reduce。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：古典音乐已经达到了一个阶段，它经常被用于癌症治疗，目的是缓解疼痛和副作用。此处引导限制性定语从句，先行词为stage，从句中缺少地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。with the aim of“旨在，目的是”是固定搭配。故填with。

We went to the charity shop where we found an old dark one. It didn’t look too cool, but I thought that I would paint it to make it look better.
After we took it home, I was getting ready to paint it. When I pulled the drawers out. I felt something stuck to the back. I reached in all the way, and guess what A sealed bag with some papers in it.
When I opened the bag, I realized that the papers were official documents. And, wrapped in them were a bunch of ten and twenty dollar bills! Talk about finding a treasure! And on my birthday!
“Is this some kind of joke ” I said aloud. I went ahead and read the papers, and it turned out to be a will. Some old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren.
My mind was going crazy. Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. Who knows
I began counting. When I reached a thousand dollars, my mother was knocking on my bedroom door. I quickly closed the drawer with the money in it.
“Do you want some help Is everything all right ” she asked.
No, everything was not right. Actually, my stomach was growling (低吼).
“I’m okay,” I lied.
When my mother left my room, I lay on my bed, starting thinking. What a dilemma (窘境)! I wished there were some one I could talk with. Could I keep it and get all kinds of stuff for me and my family It wouldn’t be too bad for me to keep it, if I shared it...right Thoughts ran through my mind.

I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom. When my parents saw what I had found in the drawer they were wide-eyed and speechless! Then, they read the papers carefully and were moved to tears. When they asked, “What should we do ” I said, “Let’s take it back to the store and find her family.” My father nodded with a smile on his face and my mother hugged me warmly, saying “You are my pride, dear.” I felt very happy because I already knew right from wrong. We collected all the money and papers at once, putting them in the drawer. We rushed to the charity shop with the drawer in the hope to find the owner as soon as possible.
Though surprised, the shop owner helped find the family’s telephone number. Within a few minutes, the family all came over. When I showed them what I had found in the drawer, they couldn’t believe their eyes. The parents had tears in their eyes. They were still sad about the lady’s death and the father had just lost his job. It was easy to see that my act of honesty gave them hope. They showed me sincere gratitude from the bottom of their hearts. In fact, I had never felt better before. No new bicycle could have made me felt as good about myself as I felt that day because I passed a very important test—a lost and found test of my own character.
