It’s 1: 45 a.m, and 21-year-old Thomas Murphy is studying for an important exam. To stay awake, he’s had two cups of coffee in the last three hours and is now downing a popular energy drink which also has caffeine.
Caffeine is present in many of the foods and drinks we consume (消耗), but is it good for us Charles Czeisler, a scientist and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School, believes that caffeine causes us to lose sleep. “Without enough sleep — the typical eight hours -the human body will not work at its best, physically, mentally, or emotionally.” Too often, Czeisler says, we consume caffeine to stay awake, which later makes it impossible for us to get the rest we need.
A number of scientists believe that regular caffeine use causes physical dependence. Heavy caffeine users show similar behaviors. For example, they get mild to severe headaches, or they feel tired or sad when they can’t have a caffeinated drink. To reduce or stop these feelings, users must consume caffeine, which is characteristic of drug addiction.
Despite these concerns, the general opinion in the scientific field is that caffeine is not dangerous when one or two small cups of coffee per day are consumed. Furthermore, a lot of current research goes against long-held negative beliefs about caffeine, and suggests that it may, in fact, have health benefits. For example, studies have shown that caffeine can help ease pain and help improve one’s mood. Research has also shown that some caffeinated drinks can help the body fight a number of illnesses, including certain types of cancer.
Caffeine’s behavioral effects are real, but most often mild. Getting that burst of energy, of course, is why many of the world’s most popular drinks contain caffeine. Whether it’s a student drinking coffee before class or a businessperson enjoying tea with lunch, humankind’s favorite stimulant (兴奋剂) is at work every day, all over the world.
24. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “downing” in paragraph 1
A. Holding. B. Decreasing. C. Drinking. D. Waking.
25. Which statement would sleep expert Charles Czeisler probably agree with
A. The type of caffeine will affect people’s sleep.
B. Heavy caffeine consumption will cause drug addiction.
C. It’s a good idea to consume caffeine if people want to stay energetic.
D. Regular caffeine use will make it difficult for people to get enough sleep.
26. What is the text mainly about
A. The risks of caffeine intake. B. The effects of consuming caffeine.
C. Healthy and unhealthy caffeine products. D. Recent changes in caffeine consumption.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards caffeine consumption
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
C
You know the feeling — your ears start to warm up, your tongue goes numb, you start sweating and taking deep breaths. You know eating something spicy would be painful, but you choose to do it anyway. Are humans just masochistic (受虐狂的), or is there something else going on The answer lies in both science and history.
Let’s start with the science. Spicy isn’t actually a taste like salty, sweet, sour and bitter — it’s a sensation(感觉). This sensation is caused by a chemical compound in chili peppers called capsaicin (辣椒素). When we eat foods containing capsaicin, our bodies are tricked into thinking the temperature is rising. In trying to temper the burning sensation, our bodies release endorphins, which control pain and, at the same time, give a feeling of pleasure.
This is what is happening chemically, but there is also a conscious side to choosing spicy food. Dr. Tamara Rosenbaum, a cognitive neuroscientist, explains that this is because we are rational beings — we know that the burning sensation of chili does not physically harm us. Furthermore, we get pleasure from the other ingredients(成分) chili is generally cooked and eaten with — including fat, sugar and salt.
This masochistic relationship with capsaicin has been long, starting in the Andes of South America, where chili peppers originate. Humans were among the few mammals on Earth that developed a taste for capsaicin. Archeological evidence suggests that humans started cultivating chili peppers about six thousand years ago. Human intervention(介入) changed the chili pepper to suit human tastes and needs — including the pepper’s color, size and capsaicin content — helping to explain the many different types of chili peppers now available.
Fast-forward to today, and our love affair with the chili pepper is going strong. We eat around 57.3 million tons of peppers globally each year, and chili is a key ingredient in traditional dishes from Mexico to Korea. Maybe we are masochistic, after all.
28. What does science say about people eating spicy food
A. People can get necessary nutrients from it.
B. People are unaware of the potential harm.
C. People are addicted to capsaicin in chilies.
D. People can take pleasure from the pain.
29. What do people think of spicy food, according to Rosenbaum
A. It cannot be digested easily. B. It is more delicious than others.
C. It doesn’t really hurt the body. D. It isn’t fit for human consumption.
30. What can we know about people’s love for chili peppers from the last two paragraphs
A. It is common worldwide. B. It is long-standing and deep.
C. It impacts food culture greatly. D. It distinguishes people from animals.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Do We Eat Spicy Food
B. What Makes Chili Peppers Hot
C. How Do Chili Peppers Conquer the World
D. Does Eating Spicy Food Have Health Benefits
D
“We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” remarked Harvard professor Stephen Owen. Even though scholars studying Chinese history and culture often compare Du Fu to Dante and Shakespeare, this famous Chinese poet and thinker, who is also greatly respected in East Asian cultures, is still not very well-known in the West.
However, with the screening of Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet, the first English-language documentary feature about the poet, the days of Du Fu as China’s best-kept literary secret seem to come to an end.
From the Yellow River to the Yangtze Gorges and down to the forested hills of Hunan Province, Michael Wood, the documentary presenter, traveled to various places, including the poet’s birthplace in Gongyi, Henan Province, the Tang Dynasty capital Chang’an (now Xi’an), and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu, Southwest China.
Along the way, he met and talked to ordinary people, dancers and musicians. They helped to tell the interesting story of the poet whose writings have been heard for many centuries, speaking for the pain of ordinary people caught in war, starvation (饥饿), and natural disasters.
“Chinese people really value the recording of history, and Du Fu is better than anyone at reflecting history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are reflected in his own life and spiritual journey,” noted Zeng Xiangbo, a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Renmin University of China.
“Du’s poetry reflects the experience and transforms it, so it becomes a part of the emotional vocabulary of the Chinese culture,” said Stephen Owen, who in 2016 completed an eight-year-long project to translate Du Fu’s 1,400 poems into English.
32. What can we know about Du Fu’s poetry from the passage
A It is only popular in China. B. It focuses on the joy of life.
C. It is not well-known in the West. D. It is simple and easy to understand.
33. What did Michael Wood do to explore for the documentary
A. Discussed with modern poets and scholars.
B. Visited historical sites significant to Du Fu’s life.
C. Analyzed Du Fu’s influence in Western literature.
D. Compared Western poetic styles with Eastern ones.
34. What does Stephen Owen’s eight-year-long project involve
A. Publishing a book about Du Fu.
B Translating Du Fu’s poems into English.
C. Studying the development of Chinese poetry.
D. Evaluating the effects of history on Du Fu’s creation.
35. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To highlight the importance of Du Fu’s poetry.
B. To show some little-known facts about Du Fu.
C. To discuss the link between culture and literature.
D. To introduce the English documentary about poetry.

【答案】Dear Bruce,
I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from Tik Tok addiction. Actually, it is commonly seen that more and more teenagers get crazy about Tik Tok and spend a lot of time watching and sharing videos online, which makes them unable to focus on study. Therefore, I think it is a must for you to take action. You should start some other hobbies, such as reading, listening to music or playing chess. Besides, you had better make more friends through face-to-face communication.
I sincerely hope that these ideas can help you with the problem. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

At the same time, I went through a noodle shop, and I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money!
The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey little girl, you want to eat a bowl ”
“But … but I do not carry money …” I shyly replied
“Okay, I’ll treat you.” the seller said, “come in, I will cook you a bowl.”
A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, I cried.
“What is it ” He asked.
“Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel (残忍的)!!”
The seller sighed, “Girl, why did you think so Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little, why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom ”

It’s 1: 45 a.m, and 21-year-old Thomas Murphy is studying for an important exam. To stay awake, he’s had two cups of coffee in the last three hours and is now downing a popular energy drink which also has caffeine.
Caffeine is present in many of the foods and drinks we consume (消耗), but is it good for us Charles Czeisler, a scientist and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School, believes that caffeine causes us to lose sleep. “Without enough sleep — the typical eight hours -the human body will not work at its best, physically, mentally, or emotionally.” Too often, Czeisler says, we consume caffeine to stay awake, which later makes it impossible for us to get the rest we need.
A number of scientists believe that regular caffeine use causes physical dependence. Heavy caffeine users show similar behaviors. For example, they get mild to severe headaches, or they feel tired or sad when they can’t have a caffeinated drink. To reduce or stop these feelings, users must consume caffeine, which is characteristic of drug addiction.
Despite these concerns, the general opinion in the scientific field is that caffeine is not dangerous when one or two small cups of coffee per day are consumed. Furthermore, a lot of current research goes against long-held negative beliefs about caffeine, and suggests that it may, in fact, have health benefits. For example, studies have shown that caffeine can help ease pain and help improve one’s mood. Research has also shown that some caffeinated drinks can help the body fight a number of illnesses, including certain types of cancer.
Caffeine’s behavioral effects are real, but most often mild. Getting that burst of energy, of course, is why many of the world’s most popular drinks contain caffeine. Whether it’s a student drinking coffee before class or a businessperson enjoying tea with lunch, humankind’s favorite stimulant (兴奋剂) is at work every day, all over the world.
24. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “downing” in paragraph 1
A. Holding. B. Decreasing. C. Drinking. D. Waking.
25. Which statement would sleep expert Charles Czeisler probably agree with
A. The type of caffeine will affect people’s sleep.
B. Heavy caffeine consumption will cause drug addiction.
C. It’s a good idea to consume caffeine if people want to stay energetic.
D. Regular caffeine use will make it difficult for people to get enough sleep.
26. What is the text mainly about
A. The risks of caffeine intake. B. The effects of consuming caffeine.
C. Healthy and unhealthy caffeine products. D. Recent changes in caffeine consumption.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards caffeine consumption
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
C
You know the feeling — your ears start to warm up, your tongue goes numb, you start sweating and taking deep breaths. You know eating something spicy would be painful, but you choose to do it anyway. Are humans just masochistic (受虐狂的), or is there something else going on The answer lies in both science and history.
Let’s start with the science. Spicy isn’t actually a taste like salty, sweet, sour and bitter — it’s a sensation(感觉). This sensation is caused by a chemical compound in chili peppers called capsaicin (辣椒素). When we eat foods containing capsaicin, our bodies are tricked into thinking the temperature is rising. In trying to temper the burning sensation, our bodies release endorphins, which control pain and, at the same time, give a feeling of pleasure.
This is what is happening chemically, but there is also a conscious side to choosing spicy food. Dr. Tamara Rosenbaum, a cognitive neuroscientist, explains that this is because we are rational beings — we know that the burning sensation of chili does not physically harm us. Furthermore, we get pleasure from the other ingredients(成分) chili is generally cooked and eaten with — including fat, sugar and salt.
This masochistic relationship with capsaicin has been long, starting in the Andes of South America, where chili peppers originate. Humans were among the few mammals on Earth that developed a taste for capsaicin. Archeological evidence suggests that humans started cultivating chili peppers about six thousand years ago. Human intervention(介入) changed the chili pepper to suit human tastes and needs — including the pepper’s color, size and capsaicin content — helping to explain the many different types of chili peppers now available.
Fast-forward to today, and our love affair with the chili pepper is going strong. We eat around 57.3 million tons of peppers globally each year, and chili is a key ingredient in traditional dishes from Mexico to Korea. Maybe we are masochistic, after all.
28. What does science say about people eating spicy food
A. People can get necessary nutrients from it.
B. People are unaware of the potential harm.
C. People are addicted to capsaicin in chilies.
D. People can take pleasure from the pain.
29. What do people think of spicy food, according to Rosenbaum
A. It cannot be digested easily. B. It is more delicious than others.
C. It doesn’t really hurt the body. D. It isn’t fit for human consumption.
30. What can we know about people’s love for chili peppers from the last two paragraphs
A. It is common worldwide. B. It is long-standing and deep.
C. It impacts food culture greatly. D. It distinguishes people from animals.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Do We Eat Spicy Food
B. What Makes Chili Peppers Hot
C. How Do Chili Peppers Conquer the World
D. Does Eating Spicy Food Have Health Benefits
D
“We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” remarked Harvard professor Stephen Owen. Even though scholars studying Chinese history and culture often compare Du Fu to Dante and Shakespeare, this famous Chinese poet and thinker, who is also greatly respected in East Asian cultures, is still not very well-known in the West.
However, with the screening of Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet, the first English-language documentary feature about the poet, the days of Du Fu as China’s best-kept literary secret seem to come to an end.
From the Yellow River to the Yangtze Gorges and down to the forested hills of Hunan Province, Michael Wood, the documentary presenter, traveled to various places, including the poet’s birthplace in Gongyi, Henan Province, the Tang Dynasty capital Chang’an (now Xi’an), and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu, Southwest China.
Along the way, he met and talked to ordinary people, dancers and musicians. They helped to tell the interesting story of the poet whose writings have been heard for many centuries, speaking for the pain of ordinary people caught in war, starvation (饥饿), and natural disasters.
“Chinese people really value the recording of history, and Du Fu is better than anyone at reflecting history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are reflected in his own life and spiritual journey,” noted Zeng Xiangbo, a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Renmin University of China.
“Du’s poetry reflects the experience and transforms it, so it becomes a part of the emotional vocabulary of the Chinese culture,” said Stephen Owen, who in 2016 completed an eight-year-long project to translate Du Fu’s 1,400 poems into English.
32. What can we know about Du Fu’s poetry from the passage
A It is only popular in China. B. It focuses on the joy of life.
C. It is not well-known in the West. D. It is simple and easy to understand.
33. What did Michael Wood do to explore for the documentary
A. Discussed with modern poets and scholars.
B. Visited historical sites significant to Du Fu’s life.
C. Analyzed Du Fu’s influence in Western literature.
D. Compared Western poetic styles with Eastern ones.
34. What does Stephen Owen’s eight-year-long project involve
A. Publishing a book about Du Fu.
B Translating Du Fu’s poems into English.
C. Studying the development of Chinese poetry.
D. Evaluating the effects of history on Du Fu’s creation.
35. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To highlight the importance of Du Fu’s poetry.
B. To show some little-known facts about Du Fu.
C. To discuss the link between culture and literature.
D. To introduce the English documentary about poetry.

It’s 1: 45 a.m, and 21-year-old Thomas Murphy is studying for an important exam. To stay awake, he’s had two cups of coffee in the last three hours and is now downing a popular energy drink which also has caffeine.
Caffeine is present in many of the foods and drinks we consume (消耗), but is it good for us Charles Czeisler, a scientist and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School, believes that caffeine causes us to lose sleep. “Without enough sleep — the typical eight hours -the human body will not work at its best, physically, mentally, or emotionally.” Too often, Czeisler says, we consume caffeine to stay awake, which later makes it impossible for us to get the rest we need.
A number of scientists believe that regular caffeine use causes physical dependence. Heavy caffeine users show similar behaviors. For example, they get mild to severe headaches, or they feel tired or sad when they can’t have a caffeinated drink. To reduce or stop these feelings, users must consume caffeine, which is characteristic of drug addiction.
Despite these concerns, the general opinion in the scientific field is that caffeine is not dangerous when one or two small cups of coffee per day are consumed. Furthermore, a lot of current research goes against long-held negative beliefs about caffeine, and suggests that it may, in fact, have health benefits. For example, studies have shown that caffeine can help ease pain and help improve one’s mood. Research has also shown that some caffeinated drinks can help the body fight a number of illnesses, including certain types of cancer.
Caffeine’s behavioral effects are real, but most often mild. Getting that burst of energy, of course, is why many of the world’s most popular drinks contain caffeine. Whether it’s a student drinking coffee before class or a businessperson enjoying tea with lunch, humankind’s favorite stimulant (兴奋剂) is at work every day, all over the world.
24. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “downing” in paragraph 1
A. Holding. B. Decreasing. C. Drinking. D. Waking.
25. Which statement would sleep expert Charles Czeisler probably agree with
A. The type of caffeine will affect people’s sleep.
B. Heavy caffeine consumption will cause drug addiction.
C. It’s a good idea to consume caffeine if people want to stay energetic.
D. Regular caffeine use will make it difficult for people to get enough sleep.
26. What is the text mainly about
A. The risks of caffeine intake. B. The effects of consuming caffeine.
C. Healthy and unhealthy caffeine products. D. Recent changes in caffeine consumption.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards caffeine consumption
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. C
C
You know the feeling — your ears start to warm up, your tongue goes numb, you start sweating and taking deep breaths. You know eating something spicy would be painful, but you choose to do it anyway. Are humans just masochistic (受虐狂的), or is there something else going on The answer lies in both science and history.
Let’s start with the science. Spicy isn’t actually a taste like salty, sweet, sour and bitter — it’s a sensation(感觉). This sensation is caused by a chemical compound in chili peppers called capsaicin (辣椒素). When we eat foods containing capsaicin, our bodies are tricked into thinking the temperature is rising. In trying to temper the burning sensation, our bodies release endorphins, which control pain and, at the same time, give a feeling of pleasure.
This is what is happening chemically, but there is also a conscious side to choosing spicy food. Dr. Tamara Rosenbaum, a cognitive neuroscientist, explains that this is because we are rational beings — we know that the burning sensation of chili does not physically harm us. Furthermore, we get pleasure from the other ingredients(成分) chili is generally cooked and eaten with — including fat, sugar and salt.
This masochistic relationship with capsaicin has been long, starting in the Andes of South America, where chili peppers originate. Humans were among the few mammals on Earth that developed a taste for capsaicin. Archeological evidence suggests that humans started cultivating chili peppers about six thousand years ago. Human intervention(介入) changed the chili pepper to suit human tastes and needs — including the pepper’s color, size and capsaicin content — helping to explain the many different types of chili peppers now available.
Fast-forward to today, and our love affair with the chili pepper is going strong. We eat around 57.3 million tons of peppers globally each year, and chili is a key ingredient in traditional dishes from Mexico to Korea. Maybe we are masochistic, after all.
28. What does science say about people eating spicy food
A. People can get necessary nutrients from it.
B. People are unaware of the potential harm.
C. People are addicted to capsaicin in chilies.
D. People can take pleasure from the pain.
29. What do people think of spicy food, according to Rosenbaum
A. It cannot be digested easily. B. It is more delicious than others.
C. It doesn’t really hurt the body. D. It isn’t fit for human consumption.
30. What can we know about people’s love for chili peppers from the last two paragraphs
A. It is common worldwide. B. It is long-standing and deep.
C. It impacts food culture greatly. D. It distinguishes people from animals.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Do We Eat Spicy Food
B. What Makes Chili Peppers Hot
C. How Do Chili Peppers Conquer the World
D. Does Eating Spicy Food Have Health Benefits
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A
D
“We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” remarked Harvard professor Stephen Owen. Even though scholars studying Chinese history and culture often compare Du Fu to Dante and Shakespeare, this famous Chinese poet and thinker, who is also greatly respected in East Asian cultures, is still not very well-known in the West.
However, with the screening of Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet, the first English-language documentary feature about the poet, the days of Du Fu as China’s best-kept literary secret seem to come to an end.
From the Yellow River to the Yangtze Gorges and down to the forested hills of Hunan Province, Michael Wood, the documentary presenter, traveled to various places, including the poet’s birthplace in Gongyi, Henan Province, the Tang Dynasty capital Chang’an (now Xi’an), and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu, Southwest China.
Along the way, he met and talked to ordinary people, dancers and musicians. They helped to tell the interesting story of the poet whose writings have been heard for many centuries, speaking for the pain of ordinary people caught in war, starvation (饥饿), and natural disasters.
“Chinese people really value the recording of history, and Du Fu is better than anyone at reflecting history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are reflected in his own life and spiritual journey,” noted Zeng Xiangbo, a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Renmin University of China.
“Du’s poetry reflects the experience and transforms it, so it becomes a part of the emotional vocabulary of the Chinese culture,” said Stephen Owen, who in 2016 completed an eight-year-long project to translate Du Fu’s 1,400 poems into English.
32. What can we know about Du Fu’s poetry from the passage
A. It is only popular in China. B. It focuses on the joy of life.
C. It is not well-known in the West. D. It is simple and easy to understand.
33. What did Michael Wood do to explore for the documentary
A. Discussed with modern poets and scholars.
B. Visited historical sites significant to Du Fu’s life.
C. Analyzed Du Fu’s influence in Western literature.
D Compared Western poetic styles with Eastern ones.
34 What does Stephen Owen’s eight-year-long project involve
A. Publishing a book about Du Fu.
B. Translating Du Fu’s poems into English.
C. Studying the development of Chinese poetry.
D. Evaluating the effects of history on Du Fu’s creation.
35. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To highlight the importance of Du Fu’s poetry.
B. To show some little-known facts about Du Fu.
C. To discuss the link between culture and literature.
D. To introduce the English documentary about poetry.

【答案】Dear Bruce,
I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from Tik Tok addiction. Actually, it is commonly seen that more and more teenagers get crazy about Tik Tok and spend a lot of time watching and sharing videos online, which makes them unable to focus on study. Therefore, I think it is a must for you to take action. You should start some other hobbies, such as reading, listening to music or playing chess. Besides, you had better make more friends through face-to-face communication.
I sincerely hope that these ideas can help you with the problem. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
