Felicia Jackson was certified in CPR, but that didn’t stop her from drawing a blank in the face of a real-life crisis. When her son stopped breathing in the back seat of her car, she froze in panic. Thankfully, her husband remained calm and was able to save their child. However, Felicia was shaken to find that, with all her years of medical experience, she wasn’t able to respond to her son’s emergency under pressure.
This unpleasant situation inspired Felicia to come up with a simple tool to make performing CPR easier, especially in high-risk situation. She created the CPR Wrap, a pocket-sized packaging device that can be laid over the body of the victim to show where the rescuer should put their hands and mouth. Not only does the product provide helpful instructions, but it also includes a face shield (挡板) and a one-way breathing barrier. This cuts down on the transfer of germs while performing mouth-to-mouth.
“Even people experienced in CPR can forget their training in stressful situations,” reads the description on the product’s website. “CPR Wrap makes it possible for those individuals to effectively perform CPR at a moment’s notice.”
Although that CPR Wrap was launched in 2017, one video on the TikTok account has recently gone viral. In the video, Felicia shows viewers the simple process of using her product to perform CPR. She adds that it’s “so easy a child could do it.” The brand now boasts over 100,000 followers and 2 million likes.
Felicia Jackson is the inventor, founder, and CEO of CPR Wrap. Her son’s near-death experience inspired her to become the entrepreneur (企业家) she is today. After receiving her A.A.S in Physical Therapy in 2018, she continued to pursue education. She graduated from Launch of Chattanooga Entrepreneurial Academy in 2020 and established the Colab Accelerator Program in 2021. She and her husband now have three children. Felicia hopes to pass on her entrepreneurial spirit to her children so they may one day start businesses of their own.
4. How did Felicia feel about her reaction to her son’s near-death experience
A. It’s touching. B. It’s convincing.
C. It’s shocking. D. It’s irresponsible.
5. Why did Felicia invent the device CPR Wrap
A. To establish her own business.
B. To help others be prepared for emergency.
C To improve professionals’ first aid skills.
D. To rescue her son in a high-risk situation.
6. What is Felicia’ CPR Wrap like
A. Cheap and flexible. B. Attractive and accurate.
C. Eco-friendly and simple. D. Portable and user-friendly.

The Mona Lisa is the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting of a woman with a mysterious smile. This week, the painting gave up a secret.
Scientists using X-rays to examine the chemical structure of a small part of the painting discovered a technique Leonardo used in the work. An oil paint used for it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental mood when he worked on the painting in the 16th century.
“He loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically,”said Victor Gonzalez, a chemist who has studied the chemical element (成分) of several works by Leonardo and other artists. The researchers found a rare lead compound (铅化合物) — plumbonacrite, in Leonardo’s first layer of paint. The discovery proved that da Vinci most likely used lead oxide to thicken and help dry his paint. The paint in the study is about the thickness of a human hair, lying in the top right area of the painting.
The scientists looked into its atomic structure using X-rays moving particles at the speed of light, permitting researchers to look deeper into the paint structure. “ Plumbonacrite is really a fingerprint of his recipe, as it’s the first time we can chemically confirm it,” Gonzalez said.
Dutch artist Rembrandt may have used a similar mixture when he was painting in the 17th century. Gonzalez and other researchers have found plumbonacrite in his work, too. Leonardo is thought to have put lead oxide powder, which has an orange color, in the oil to make it thicker and dry faster. “What you will get is an oil that has a very nice golden color,” Gonzalez said. “It flows more like honey.”
But the Mona Lisa — said by the Louvre to be a portrait (肖像) of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk businessman — and additional works by Leonardo still have other secrets to tell. “What we are saying is just a little brick in the knowledge,” Gonzalez said.
8. What’s the new discovery about the Mona Lisa
A. A new explanation of the secret smile.
B. A new chemical element used in the painting.
C. The secret of the woman in the painting.
D. The structure of the paint da Vinci used.
9. Which best explains the underlined word “fingerprint” in paragraph 4
A. Open secret. B. Widespread use. C. Hidden element. D. Long-term dream.
10. How does Gonzalez view the use of lead oxide powder in paintings
A. It helps to make many things into paints.
B. It helps to make paints easy to deal with.
C. It helps to keep the paintings last long.
D. It helps to make paintings rich in color.
11. What can we learn about the Mona Lisa from the last paragraph
A. It has more secrets to tell the world.
B. It’s the portrait of a silk businessman.
C. It’s well kept in bricks in the Louvre.
D It has a mixture of different art styles.
D
Scientists are now digging into precisely why exercise holds so many benefits for our mental health and memory. The answer, studies say, lies in our brain chemistry.
Each time you work up a sweat, your body releases feel-good happy hormones (荷尔蒙), including endorphins, dopamine and endocannabinoids, the latter being responsible for the so-called runner’s high. Now researchers are also pointing to myokines (肌肉因子) as an important contributor to the mental health benefits of exercise. When our muscles contract, myokines are released into the bloodstream, helping your muscles and organs communicate. They think this communication increases resilience to stress, reduces symptoms of mental suffering and anxiety and has a direct effect on depression.
A 2021 scientific report published in Neuropharmacology showed evidence that myokines boost brain function, like improving memory and mood. “Myokines reduce systemic inflammation (炎症), which is especially beneficial for people with drug-resistant depression whose low mood is linked to high inflammation,” explains Dr Jennifer Heisz, an expert in brain health and associate professor in the department of kinesiology at McMaster University in Canada.
A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine showed that treatment for depression can be much more effective when physical activity is added to the usual care. Participants found benefits after 12 weeks of exercising for 30 to 60 minutes a day. “While exercise is not a replacement for professional mental health treatment, physical activity can complement and enhance the effects of the treatment,” says lead researcher Ben Singh, a research fellow at the University of South Australia.
“It is amazing to consider how moving our bodies can heal our minds,” says Heisz. Whether you’re cycling, walking around your neighbourhood or doing yoga, getting sweaty is good for your body and mind. To get the biggest overall health boost, the key is to zero in on sports and activities you enjoy, so you’ll keep going back to them.
12. How do myokines boost our mental health
A. By bonding muscles with organs.
B. By slowing down our bloodstream.
C. By contracting muscles through the body.
D. By releasing happy hormones in our brain.
13. What is Ben Singh’s attitude towards physical activity in treatment for depression
A. Doubtful. B. Negative.
C. Uncertain D. Approving.
14. What does the underlined phrase “zero in on” in the last paragraph mean
A. Adapt to. B. Give up.
C. Focus on. D. Put off.
15. How does the author develop the text
A. By making comparisons.
B. By presenting research findings.
C. By offering suggestions.
D. By conducting some experiments.

A boy called Jamy always arrived home hungry every day and his parents couldn’t figure out why, despite making meals for him. When Jamy wouldn’t share what was going on, his parents decided to visit the school principal (校长), hoping the principal could offer some insight.
After talking with Jamy’s classmates, the principal and his parents heard a story they weren’t expecting. Although Jamy never talked about it, his classmates told them that he always came to school without food. The principal and his parents were shocked. No wonder Jamy was always so hungry after school! Was there something happening on the way to school that Jamy didn’t tell them
To make the situation clear, the principal asked Jamy’s teacher, Callum to talk to Jamy in private. During the conversation with the teacher, Jamy refused to say any further details about the situation, leaving everyone frustrated and helpless. And despite multiple questioning, Jamy still refused to say any knowledge of the situation. This left the principal with no evidence to take any action regarding the missing lunch of Jamy.
Jamy’s parents were becoming increasingly concerned as their child continued to come home from school without saying a word. Despite their meeting in the school, they thought that they hadn’t gotten any closer to uncovering the truth about why Jamy was always so hungry. The lack of communication from their child only added to their frustration and helplessness. They knew they needed to take action, but they had no idea where to start.
Determined to get to the bottom of the problem, Jamy’s father decided to take action again. The next day, Jamy’s father went to school and requested to speak with Jamy’s teacher Callum.
When Jamy’s father reached the school, Callum spoke with him and patiently answered all of his questions. However, despite a deep conversation between them, no conclusion could be reached, which still puzzled Jamy’s parents.
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150左右;
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, by accident, Jamy’s father found a thank-you note from his study (书房).
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jamy’s parents were touched by Jamy’s act of kindness.

Felicia Jackson was certified in CPR, but that didn’t stop her from drawing a blank in the face of a real-life crisis. When her son stopped breathing in the back seat of her car, she froze in panic. Thankfully, her husband remained calm and was able to save their child. However, Felicia was shaken to find that, with all her years of medical experience, she wasn’t able to respond to her son’s emergency under pressure.
This unpleasant situation inspired Felicia to come up with a simple tool to make performing CPR easier, especially in high-risk situation. She created the CPR Wrap, a pocket-sized packaging device that can be laid over the body of the victim to show where the rescuer should put their hands and mouth. Not only does the product provide helpful instructions, but it also includes a face shield (挡板) and a one-way breathing barrier. This cuts down on the transfer of germs while performing mouth-to-mouth.
“Even people experienced in CPR can forget their training in stressful situations,” reads the description on the product’s website. “CPR Wrap makes it possible for those individuals to effectively perform CPR at a moment’s notice.”
Although that CPR Wrap was launched in 2017, one video on the TikTok account has recently gone viral. In the video, Felicia shows viewers the simple process of using her product to perform CPR. She adds that it’s “so easy a child could do it.” The brand now boasts over 100,000 followers and 2 million likes.
Felicia Jackson is the inventor, founder, and CEO of CPR Wrap. Her son’s near-death experience inspired her to become the entrepreneur (企业家) she is today. After receiving her A.A.S in Physical Therapy in 2018, she continued to pursue education. She graduated from Launch of Chattanooga Entrepreneurial Academy in 2020 and established the Colab Accelerator Program in 2021. She and her husband now have three children. Felicia hopes to pass on her entrepreneurial spirit to her children so they may one day start businesses of their own.

The Mona Lisa is the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting of a woman with a mysterious smile. This week, the painting gave up a secret.
Scientists using X-rays to examine the chemical structure of a small part of the painting discovered a technique Leonardo used in the work. An oil paint used for it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental mood when he worked on the painting in the 16th century.
“He loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically,”said Victor Gonzalez, a chemist who has studied the chemical element (成分) of several works by Leonardo and other artists. The researchers found a rare lead compound (铅化合物) — plumbonacrite, in Leonardo’s first layer of paint. The discovery proved that da Vinci most likely used lead oxide to thicken and help dry his paint. The paint in the study is about the thickness of a human hair, lying in the top right area of the painting.
The scientists looked into its atomic structure using X-rays, moving particles at the speed of light, permitting researchers to look deeper into the paint structure. “ Plumbonacrite is really a fingerprint of his recipe, as it’s the first time we can chemically confirm it,” Gonzalez said.
Dutch artist Rembrandt may have used a similar mixture when he was painting in the 17th century. Gonzalez and other researchers have found plumbonacrite in his work, too. Leonardo is thought to have put lead oxide powder, which has an orange color, in the oil to make it thicker and dry faster. “What you will get is an oil that has a very nice golden color,” Gonzalez said. “It flows more like honey.”
But the Mona Lisa — said by the Louvre to be a portrait (肖像) of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk businessman — and additional works by Leonardo still have other secrets to tell. “What we are saying is just a little brick in the knowledge,” Gonzalez said.
8. What’s the new discovery about the Mona Lisa
A. A new explanation of the secret smile.
B. A new chemical element used in the painting.
C. The secret of the woman in the painting.
D. The structure of the paint da Vinci used.
9. Which best explains the underlined word “fingerprint” in paragraph 4
A. Open secret. B. Widespread use. C. Hidden element. D. Long-term dream.
10. How does Gonzalez view the use of lead oxide powder in paintings
A. It helps to make many things into paints.
B. It helps to make paints easy to deal with.
C. It helps to keep the paintings last long.
D It helps to make paintings rich in color.
11. What can we learn about the Mona Lisa from the last paragraph
A. It has more secrets to tell the world.
B. It’s the portrait of a silk businessman.
C. It’s well kept in bricks in the Louvre.
D. It has a mixture of different art styles.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科研人员研究意大利画家达·分奇的名画《家娜丽莎》后发现，达·芬奇在作画时使用了一种铅化合物，并且表示达·芬奇的画作中仍然有很多秘密等待人们去寻找和发现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“An oil paint used for it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental mood when he worked on the painting in the 16th century. (这幅画所使用的油画颜料是一种特殊的新型化学混合物，这表明这位意大利艺术家在16世纪创作这幅画时处于一种实验的状态)”可知，科学家们发现了一种特殊的化学混合物被用在《蒙娜丽莎》的颜料上。故选B。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。划线词后的连词as表明前后句意呈因果关系。根据第四段划线词后“...as it’s the first time we can chemically confirm it,(因为这是我们第一次用化学方法证实水白铅矿)”可知，科学家们用科学方法第一次证实了达·芬奇在他的画作中使用了这种铅化合物。由此可知，划线词“fingerprint”指的是达·芬奇的画作中这种先前不为人知的成分。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Leonardo is thought to have put lead oxide powder, which has an orange color, in the oil to make it thicker and dry faster. “What you will get is an oil that has a very nice golden color,” Gonzalez said. “It flows more like honey.” (人们认为达·芬奇在油画中加入了橙色的氧化铅粉末，使油画变稠，干得更快。Gonzalez说:“你会得到一种非常漂亮的金黄色的油彩。它流起来更像蜂蜜。”)”可推知，Gonzalez认为这种铅化合物的添加有助于使绘画色彩丰富。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But the Mona Lisa — said by the Louvre to be a portrait (肖像) of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk businessman — and additional works by Leonardo still have other secrets to tell. “What we are saying is just a little brick in the knowledge,” Gonzalez said. (但《蒙娜丽莎》——卢浮宫称其为佛罗伦萨丝绸商人的妻子丽莎·盖拉尔迪尼的肖像——以及列奥纳多的其他作品仍有其他秘密要讲。Gonzalez说：“我们所说的只是知识中的一小块砖。”)”可知，画家达·芬奇的《蒙娜丽莎》和他的其他画作仍有很多秘密有待被发现，我们所知道的只是其中很小的一部分。故选A。
D
Scientists are now digging into precisely why exercise holds so many benefits for our mental health and memory. The answer, studies say, lies in our brain chemistry.
Each time you work up a sweat, your body releases feel-good happy hormones (荷尔蒙), including endorphins, dopamine and endocannabinoids, the latter being responsible for the so-called runner’s high. Now researchers are also pointing to myokines (肌肉因子) as an important contributor to the mental health benefits of exercise. When our muscles contract, myokines are released into the bloodstream, helping your muscles and organs communicate. They think this communication increases resilience to stress, reduces symptoms of mental suffering and anxiety and has a direct effect on depression.
A 2021 scientific report published in Neuropharmacology showed evidence that myokines boost brain function, like improving memory and mood. “Myokines reduce systemic inflammation (炎症), which is especially beneficial for people with drug-resistant depression whose low mood is linked to high inflammation,” explains Dr Jennifer Heisz, an expert in brain health and associate professor in the department of kinesiology at McMaster University in Canada.
A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine showed that treatment for depression can be much more effective when physical activity is added to the usual care. Participants found benefits after 12 weeks of exercising for 30 to 60 minutes a day. “While exercise is not a replacement for professional mental health treatment, physical activity can complement and enhance the effects of the treatment,” says lead researcher Ben Singh, a research fellow at the University of South Australia.
“It is amazing to consider how moving our bodies can heal our minds,” says Heisz. Whether you’re cycling, walking around your neighbourhood or doing yoga, getting sweaty is good for your body and mind. To get the biggest overall health boost, the key is to zero in on sports and activities you enjoy, so you’ll keep going back to them.
12. How do myokines boost our mental health
A. By bonding muscles with organs.
B. By slowing down our bloodstream.
C. By contracting muscles through the body.
D. By releasing happy hormones in our brain.
13. What is Ben Singh’s attitude towards physical activity in treatment for depression
A. Doubtful. B. Negative.
C Uncertain D. Approving.
14. What does the underlined phrase “zero in on” in the last paragraph mean
A. Adapt to. B. Give up.
C. Focus on. D. Put off.
15. How does the author develop the text
A. By making comparisons.
B. By presenting research findings.
C. By offering suggestions.
D By conducting some experiments.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是研究发现运动有利于我们身心健康的原因在于运动时大脑里面所产生的化学发应。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When our muscles contract, myokines are released into the bloodstream, helping your muscles and organs communicate. They think this communication increases resilience to stress, reduces symptoms of mental suffering and anxiety and has a direct effect on depression.(当我们的肌肉收缩时，肌肉因子被释放到血液中，帮助你的肌肉和器官进行交流。他们认为，这种交流增加了对压力的弹性，减少了精神痛苦和焦虑的症状，并对抑郁有直接影响。)”可知肌肉因子通过将肌肉与器官结合来促进我们的心理健康。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““While exercise is not a replacement for professional mental health treatment, physical activity can complement and enhance the effects of the treatment,”(“虽然运动不能替代专业的心理健康治疗，但体育活动可以补充和增强治疗的效果，”)”可知Ben Singh’s认为体育活动可以补充和增强治疗抑郁效果，所以Ben Singh’s对于治疗抑郁的体育活动的态度是赞同的。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段划线短语之前““It is amazing to consider how moving our bodies can heal our minds,” says Heisz. Whether you’re cycling, walking around your neighbourhood or doing yoga, getting sweaty is good for your body and mind. To get the biggest overall health boost, the key is to(海兹说：“考虑到移动我们的身体如何治愈我们的大脑，这令人惊讶。”无论你是骑自行车，在附近散步还是做瑜伽，出汗对你的身心都有好处。要获得最大的整体健康提升，关键是)”以及划线短语之后“sports and activities you enjoy, so you’ll keep going back to them.(你喜欢的运动和活动，所以你会继续回到它们身边。)”可知运动有助于我们的身心健康，所以要想获得最大程度的健康提升我们必须把注意力集中到自己喜欢的运动上，所以划线短语的意思应为“集中注意力”，与C项focus on(集中)意思相近。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，再根据第二段“They think this communication increases resilience to stress, reduces symptoms of mental suffering and anxiety and has a direct effect on depression. (他们认为这种沟通可以增强对压力的抵抗力，减少精神痛苦和焦虑的症状，并对抑郁症有直接影响)”和第三段“A 2021 scientific report published in Neuropharmacology showed evidence that myokines boost brain function, like improving memory and mood. (2021年发表在《神经药理学》上的一份科学报告显示，有证据表明肌细胞因子可以增强大脑功能，如改善记忆和情绪)”以及第四段“A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine showed that treatment for depression can be much more effective when physical activity is added to the usual care. (最近发表在《英国运动医学杂志》上的一项研究表明，在日常护理中增加体育活动可以更有效地治疗抑郁症)”可推知,文章前四段集中列举了研究结果，所以作者是通过列举研究结果的方式展开文章的。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇关于久坐生活方式对健康影响的说明文。文章通过比较不同职业人群的健康状况，强调了久坐对身体健康的负面影响，并提出了一些改善建议。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：无论是在办公桌工作，坐在车里，还是躺在沙发上看电视，我们的生活方式比我们的父母和祖父母更加久坐不动。根据句意，句子列出了几种生活方式，坐在桌前，坐在车里还是躺在沙发上，这几个是或的关系。故填or。
【37题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：我们的生活方式比我们的父母和祖父母更加久坐不动。have a...lifestyle是固定搭配，表示拥有...的生活方式。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：如果你过着久坐不动的生活方式，你超重、患糖尿病或心脏病以及经历抑郁和焦虑的可能性更大。have a higher chance of是固定搭配，表示有更大的可能性。故填higher。
【39题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：20世纪50年代进行的一项研究比较了公共汽车司机和售票员的情况。carry out是固定搭配，表示进行，它变成了过去分词充当后置定语，所以compare就需要充当谓语，根据时间状语1950s，应该将其变成一般过去时。故填compared。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：该研究比较了公共汽车司机和售票员的情况，售票员在公共汽车上走动卖票。分析句子结构可知，这是一个定语从句，横线指代售票员，在从句中充当主语。故填who。
【41题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：研究表明，司机患心脏病的可能性是更活跃的售票员的两倍。be likely to是固定搭配，表示有可能，后面跟动词原形。故填to have。
【42题详解】
考查动名词。句意：事实上，长时间坐着已被与许多不同的状况联系起来。prolonged sitting是固定搭配，表示长时间坐着，其中sitting是动名词。故填sitting。
【43题详解】
考查不定式作表语。句意：一个可能的解决办法是让办公桌工作者使用站立式办公桌，至少花一天中的一部分时间站立。to spend是不定式，充当表语，由此判断横线也应该变成to do的形式。故填to use。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：其他专家指出，整天站立也可能有负面影响，如腿部或背部疼痛。have impacts是固定搭配，表示有影响，其中impact是可数名词，横线前没有冠词，因此此处需要使用复数形式。故填impacts。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：他们还指出，如果人们确实想使用站立式办公桌，他们应该逐渐增加站立时间。gradual是形容词，意思是逐渐的，横线在句中充当状语修饰动词increase，故需要变成副词。故填gradually。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A boy called Jamy always arrived home hungry every day and his parents couldn’t figure out why, despite making meals for him. When Jamy wouldn’t share what was going on, his parents decided to visit the school principal (校长), hoping the principal could offer some insight.
After talking with Jamy’s classmates, the principal and his parents heard a story they weren’t expecting. Although Jamy never talked about it, his classmates told them that he always came to school without food. The principal and his parents were shocked. No wonder Jamy was always so hungry after school! Was there something happening on the way to school that Jamy didn’t tell them
To make the situation clear, the principal asked Jamy’s teacher, Callum to talk to Jamy in private. During the conversation with the teacher, Jamy refused to say any further details about the situation, leaving everyone frustrated and helpless. And despite multiple questioning, Jamy still refused to say any knowledge of the situation. This left the principal with no evidence to take any action regarding the missing lunch of Jamy.
Jamy’s parents were becoming increasingly concerned as their child continued to come home from school without saying a word. Despite their meeting in the school, they thought that they hadn’t gotten any closer to uncovering the truth about why Jamy was always so hungry. The lack of communication from their child only added to their frustration and helplessness. They knew they needed to take action, but they had no idea where to start.
Determined to get to the bottom of the problem, Jamy’s father decided to take action again. The next day, Jamy’s father went to school and requested to speak with Jamy’s teacher Callum.
When Jamy’s father reached the school, Callum spoke with him and patiently answered all of his questions. However, despite a deep conversation between them, no conclusion could be reached, which still puzzled Jamy’s parents.

Jamy’s parents were touched by Jamy’s act of kindness. They thought that it was a great example of how people should look after one another, especially those in need. As a gesture of gratitude, Jamy’s father decided to give Jamy two lunch boxes so that the boy would never have to worry about being hungry again. Jamy was celebrated as a hero that day and was proud to have done something so selfless. His father went to Jamy, hugged him and said that it was a noble thing to do. Jamy felt proud of himself.
