My passion for the field of dietetics (营养学) started at a very young age. Ever since I can remember, I have been dreaming of becoming a pastry chef.
I grew up being part of various sports teams. As I grew older, I noticed how food influenced my performance as an athlete. I started reading more about nutrition and signed up for an introductory nutrition course during my first year of college.
However, I noticed when I entered my dietetics classes, that I looked quite different from most students. I was the only ethnically diverse student in my classes.
My mom was born in Austria and my father in Iran. They met in Austria and moved to the U. S. before my brother and I were born. They exposed us to their own traditional cultural foods, and I grew up eating a combination of Iranian and Austrian dishes.
I remember never having a taste for school cafeteria food, so I always requested my mom pack me lunch. She would pack me leftovers from dinner, such as a kuku sabzi, a Persian egg and herb frittata, or schnitzel with dartoffelsalat, a typical Austrian dish of fried breaded chicken. At times, I felt embarrassed about my meals, and would hide these from my peers to avoid the horrible question of, “Ew, what is that ” However, over time, and once I became a qualified RD (注册营养师), I realized my unique background allowed me to connect more deeply with others from different cultures.
I encouraged my clients to share what they grew up eating and what foods were customary to their unique upbringing. I developed nutrition recommendations for my clients that included traditional food from their heritage culture. These experiences and my dual heritage background empowered me to encourage my clients and other RDs to proudly share their unique cultural foods, to stop feeling embarrassed, but instead embrace our differences and increase cultural awareness in the field of dietetics.
4. What made the author take the nutrition course in college

“Why does grandpa have ear hair “ Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fun to learn.” I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did I go wrong
My child’s experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous (自发的)” investigation and eagerness for new information drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C. Keil details the development of wonder―a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that devalues wonder.
As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are sensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children’s questions, particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.
Unfortunately, as Keil notes, ”adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.
8. What is a common problem among fourth graders
A. They upset their parents too often.
B. They ask too many strange questions.
C. Their desire to learn declines sharply.
D. Their love for fun disappears quickly.
9. Which is true about the “causal mechanisms” in Para. 4
A. They usually control children’s sensitivity.
B. They slightly change in early childhood.
C. They hardly support children’s reasoning.
D. They improve through children’s questioning.
10. How can parents support children’s wonder according to Keil
A. By welcoming inquiring minds.
B. By overestimating their abilities.
C. By monitoring all of their games.
D. By providing timely conclusions.
11. What is the text
A. A children’s story. B. A news report.
C. A research paper. D. A book review.
D
Polar bears are icons of the Arctic. Detailed monitoring of their populations is crucial for their conservation — but because polar bears are so difficult to find, we are missing critical data about population size. Scientists have now developed a new tool to help: DNA analysis using skin cells left in the bears’ footprints in the snow.
The scientists were inspired by the techniques that can be applied to tiny, degraded DNA samples. With these techniques, it isn’t necessary to physically capture bears, which can be stressful and dangerous for both bears and humans. Instead, the researchers can turn to the snow tracks of polar bears and look at sources of DNA left in passing-environmental DNA. “The tracks usually contain fresh cells, and the DNA is intact because of the cold ‘storage’ temperature,” said Dr. Melanie Lancaster of the World Wide Fund, lead author.
The scientists collected snow from individual tracks made by Alaskan polar bears in the wild. Additional materials like hair and saliva (唾液) were sampled, confirming that the tracks provided accurate genotype (基因型). 24 wild polar bear tracks were sampled. The researchers melted and filtered the snow to collect environmental DNA, then carried out micro-satellite analysis. Although the concentrations of DNA taken from tracks sampled in the wild were very low,13 of the wild polar bear samples could be genotype, identifying 12 different individuals.
This technique has huge potential to inform conservation of these animals, to better understand their populations and behavior. Although the sampling has a lower success rate, ease of collection means that it can significantly expand sample sizes.
“We hope this method will be taken up by the polar bear research community, with the involvement of hunters, volunteers, and local communities, as a new way to collect information on polar bears,” said Lancaster. “We also hope the method will be expanded to other animals living in snowy environments.”
12. Why do scientists employ the new method of DNA analysis
A. To improve the environment in the Arctic.
B. To seek solutions to global climate change.
C. To shelter humans from polar bears’ attack.
D. To find out the exact number of polar bears.
13. What does the underlined word “intact” mean in para. 2
A. Undamaged. B. Unknown.
C. Unusual. D. Unstable.
14. What did the scientists do in the study
A. They tracked and caught polar bears in the wild.
B. They recorded polar bears’ behaviors with cameras.
C. They analyzed DNA from polar bears’ snowy footprints.
D. They compared polar bears’ genotype with other animals.
15. What is Lancaster’s attitude to the method
A. Pessimistic. B. Approving.
C. Uncertain. D. Suspicious.

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。
It was a cold, snowy evening. Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination —the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines (小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He has been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He said “sorry” and moved on to his destination.
Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more — all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman.
“You like these, true believer ”
Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face.
“Y-yes,… Yes, they’re awesome! ”answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...” the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.”
“Then become one!” said the old man.
“How ” Tommy asked in surprise “I don’t have any superpowers.”
“And why would you need them ” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy’s face, he put his hands on Tommy’s arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband She has been working hard and taking care of him for years. I have never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person...”he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.”
The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.”
注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Tommy listened intently, his eyes wide with wonder and realization.

My passion for the field of dietetics (营养学) started at a very young age. Ever since I can remember, I have been dreaming of becoming a pastry chef.
I grew up being part of various sports teams. As I grew older, I noticed how food influenced my performance as an athlete. I started reading more about nutrition and signed up for an introductory nutrition course during my first year of college.
However, I noticed when I entered my dietetics classes, that I looked quite different from most students. I was the only ethnically diverse student in my classes.
My mom was born in Austria and my father in Iran. They met in Austria and moved to the U. S. before my brother and I were born. They exposed us to their own traditional cultural foods, and I grew up eating a combination of Iranian and Austrian dishes.
I remember never having a taste for school cafeteria food, so I always requested my mom pack me lunch. She would pack me leftovers from dinner, such as a kuku sabzi, a Persian egg and herb frittata, or schnitzel with dartoffelsalat, a typical Austrian dish of fried breaded chicken. At times, I felt embarrassed about my meals, and would hide these from my peers to avoid the horrible question of, “Ew, what is that ” However, over time, and once I became a qualified RD (注册营养师), I realized my unique background allowed me to connect more deeply with others from different cultures.
I encouraged my clients to share what they grew up eating and what foods were customary to their unique upbringing. I developed nutrition recommendations for my clients that included traditional food from their heritage culture. These experiences and my dual heritage background empowered me to encourage my clients and other RDs to proudly share their unique cultural foods, to stop feeling embarrassed, but instead embrace our differences and increase cultural awareness in the field of dietetics.

“Why does grandpa have ear hair “ Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fun to learn.” I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did I go wrong
My child’s experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous (自发的)” investigation and eagerness for new information drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C. Keil details the development of wonder―a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that devalues wonder.
As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are sensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children’s questions, particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.
Unfortunately, as Keil notes, ”adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.
8. What is a common problem among fourth graders
A. They upset their parents too often.
B. They ask too many strange questions.
C. Their desire to learn declines sharply.
D. Their love for fun disappears quickly.
9. Which is true about the “causal mechanisms” in Para. 4
A. They usually control children’s sensitivity.
B. They slightly change in early childhood.
C. They hardly support children’s reasoning.
D. They improve through children’s questioning.
10. How can parents support children’s wonder according to Keil
A. By welcoming inquiring minds.
B. By overestimating their abilities.
C. By monitoring all of their games.
D By providing timely conclusions.
11. What is the text
A. A children’s story. B. A news report.
C. A research paper. D. A book review.

Polar bears are icons of the Arctic. Detailed monitoring of their populations is crucial for their conservation — but because polar bears are so difficult to find, we are missing critical data about population size. Scientists have now developed a new tool to help: DNA analysis using skin cells left in the bears’ footprints in the snow.
The scientists were inspired by the techniques that can be applied to tiny, degraded DNA samples. With these techniques, it isn’t necessary to physically capture bears, which can be stressful and dangerous for both bears and humans. Instead, the researchers can turn to the snow tracks of polar bears and look at sources of DNA left in passing-environmental DNA. “The tracks usually contain fresh cells, and the DNA is intact because of the cold ‘storage’ temperature,” said Dr. Melanie Lancaster of the World Wide Fund, lead author.
The scientists collected snow from individual tracks made by Alaskan polar bears in the wild. Additional materials like hair and saliva (唾液) were sampled, confirming that the tracks provided accurate genotype (基因型). 24 wild polar bear tracks were sampled. The researchers melted and filtered the snow to collect environmental DNA, then carried out micro-satellite analysis. Although the concentrations of DNA taken from tracks sampled in the wild were very low,13 of the wild polar bear samples could be genotype, identifying 12 different individuals.
This technique has huge potential to inform conservation of these animals, to better understand their populations and behavior. Although the sampling has a lower success rate, ease of collection means that it can significantly expand sample sizes.
“We hope this method will be taken up by the polar bear research community, with the involvement of hunters, volunteers, and local communities, as a new way to collect information on polar bears,” said Lancaster. “We also hope the method will be expanded to other animals living in snowy environments.”
12. Why do scientists employ the new method of DNA analysis
A. To improve the environment in the Arctic.
B. To seek solutions to global climate change.
C. To shelter humans from polar bears’ attack.
D. To find out the exact number of polar bears.
13. What does the underlined word “intact” mean in para. 2
A. Undamaged. B. Unknown.
C. Unusual. D. Unstable.
14. What did the scientists do in the study
A. They tracked and caught polar bears in the wild.
B. They recorded polar bears’ behaviors with cameras.
C. They analyzed DNA from polar bears’ snowy footprints.
D. They compared polar bears’ genotype with other animals.
15. What is Lancaster’s attitude to the method
A. Pessimistic. B. Approving.
C. Uncertain. D. Suspicious.

【答案】 An Unforgettable Activity in High School
During my high school years, one unforgettable activity I participated in was the charity bazaar organized by the school. Students set up booths selling handmade crafts and baked goods to raise funds for a local orphanage. I helped at a face-painting booth and saw the joy on children’s faces as their designs came to life.
The sense of unity and purpose among everyone involved was inspiring. It taught me the value of giving back and working together for a meaningful cause, making it a truly valuable experience in my high school journey.

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。
It was a cold, snowy evening. Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination —the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines (小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He has been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He said “sorry” and moved on to his destination.
Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more — all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman.
“You like these, true believer ”
Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face.
“Y-yes,… Yes, they’re awesome! ”answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...” the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.”
“Then become one!” said the old man.
“How ” Tommy asked in surprise “I don’t have any superpowers.”
“And why would you need them ” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy’s face, he put his hands on Tommy’s arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband She has been working hard and taking care of him for years. I have never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person...”he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.”
The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.”
注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Tommy listened intently, his eyes wide with wonder and realization.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tommy stepped back out into the snowy evening and approached the homeless woman.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Tommy listened intently, his eyes wide with wonder and realization. The old man’s words resonated deeply within him, and for a moment, he felt a surge of warmth that seemed to counteract the coldness of the evening outside. “But how can I be a hero ” Tommy asked himself, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and a budding sense of responsibility. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he already had an idea of what he should do. He immediately decided to go back and help the woman, who was in need of more than just an apology.
Tommy stepped back out into the snowy evening and approached the homeless woman. “Excuse me, ma’am,” Tommy said softly, “It is really cold out here, and I’d like to help you.” Tommy handed the money to the woman, which he had earned from walking the neighbor’s dog. He hoped that the money should get the woman a warm meal and maybe a blanket. The woman’s eyes welled up with grateful tears as she took the money. Meanwhile, Tommy felt a strange sense of fulfillment and happiness. He realized that a small act of kindness could make a big difference.
