One day I was unwrapping a birthday gift from my teenage son—a blouse more stylish than I felt comfortable wearing. My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes.
“What do you think, Mom ” Jason asked, hardly waiting for me to pull the blouse out of the box. “I thought it would look so nice on you.” He smiled at me with anticipation.
At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special. It was a flash of sudden recognition. Then everything changed.
“It’s beautiful,” I was able to say genuinely as I hugged him.
“Try it on. I want to see how it looks,” Jason added.
“I know just the skirt to try it with,” I said as I headed towards my closet.
When I returned with the outfit on, Jason was waiting. “It looks just like I thought it would. It’s pretty on you, Mom,” Jason said.
I tried to stop the tears that were welling in the corner of my eyes. “Thank you, honey. It is a beautiful blouse. I can tell you put a lot of thought into picking it out.”
Jason probably wondered why I was so emotional over the gift. It made me think back on the gifts I’d ignored. Maybe the people who gave me the gifts saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. That opened me up to change and growth.
In the years since, I received my son’s present. I have rarely felt disappointed when a gift doesn’t match my interests or desires. I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude. This change has made holidays more joyful and deepened my appreciation for family and friends.
There is surely something special about receiving a gift that is perfectly suited for you. But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart.
4. How did the author feel in the beginning when receiving the present from her son
A. Curious. B. Relieved. C. Guilty. D. Dissatisfied.
5. What mainly changed the author’s attitude toward Jason’s gift
A. The understanding of Jason’s thoughts.
B. The recognition of her own potential.
C. The skirt that matches the blouse.
D. The praise from Jason.
6. After reflecting on past gifts, the author became _________.
A. careful about choosing gifts
B. indifferent to receiving gifts
C. joyful about choosing gifts
D. grateful for receiving gifts
7. What can we learn from this passage
A. What suits you is best for you.
B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
C. An open mind is the source of progress.
D. Unspoken gratitude is often the most heartfelt.
C
Eating a plant- based diet has been shown to be very good for your heart and your overall health. In fact, a recent study found a young person could live an additional 13 years by eating more vegetables and legumes (豆类), as well as whole grains, fruit and nuts.
Which makes the findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition rather shocking: Eating veggies, especially cooked ones, doesn’t reduce your risk of heart disease over time.
“Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD (cardiovascular disease),” said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement.
While the study found eating raw veggies could protect against heart disease, cooked vegetables did not. Any benefit went away when researchers factored in lifestyle factors such as physical activity, educational level, smoking, drinking, fruit intake, red and processed meat consumption, and use of mineral and vitamin supplements.
“Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be accounted for by bias (偏差)… related to differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,” Feng said.
Don’t start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly took exception to the study’s conclusion
“Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn’t associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn’t mean we should stop eating vegetables,” said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement.
“The results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e. g., vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect,” Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at Tufts University’s Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told CNN in an email.
“One thing that has become clear over the past decade is we should not be looking at single food s or nutrients, rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein.
8. What can we learn from the new study led by Feng
A It followed a young UK person for 13 years.
B. Its findings came as no surprise to other people.
C. It overturned the conclusion of previous studies.
D. Its purpose was to find the right vegetables for people.
9. What did Feng imply about vegetables’ protective effect
A. It was totally made up by some researchers.
B It still held true despite some different findings.
C. It could only be achieved by living a healthy lifestyle.
D. It was a misconception caused by differences in people.
10. Which of following is closest in meaning to underlined phrase“ take exception to”
A. Voice objections to. B. Add details to.
C. Display ignorance of. D. Take notice of.
11. What did Lichtenstein think of the study
A. It was groundbreaking. B. It was one- sided.
C. It would cause confusion. D. It needed more evidence.
D
I have taught medical students for 40 years in many contexts — on hospital rounds, during patient appointments, running small group discussions, and teaching large classes. I have lectured on topics that range from biochemical pathways to lifestyle diseases to nutrition science and the biology of aging.
The most pleasing part of teaching is passing along the less visible aspects of being a physician — how to show respect for patients and be a true caregiver. I do this by telling stories about my clinical experience during lectures and the pay-off for me is engagement with students. The pandemic and its consequent shift in how students learn has changed all of that.
In my 40 years of teaching, I’ve never seen such a dramatic change. The pandemic forced first- and second-year medical students into virtual classes, causing in-person attendance to dive. As I watched this shift to remote learning, I worried about its impact on future doctors. The engagement I once saw in the classroom is now hidden behind screens, and I find myself wondering if my stories and lessons are having the same impact.
The shift to virtual learning also worries me about the future of medical education. The personal nature of medicine often seen in clinical skills training and up-close body studies, is hard to obtain virtually. I’m also concerned about other crucial aspects of early medical school education that I’ve seen benefit students over the years — things like research opportunities, specialty exploration and volunteer work. These activities are much harder to do remotely. These experiences are vital for developing well-rounded, skilled doctors who can provide thorough treatment.
Finally, there is a very real threat to medical education in changing the role of the physician professors. Doctors are unusual among professions in the expectation that they will teach medical students regardless of where and what specific field of medicine they practice. Remove professors’ satisfaction that comes with face-to-face teaching and we risk losing their commitment, much of which is often done on an entirely voluntary basis.
12. What did the author enjoy most in the past 40 years
A. Telling attractive stories. B. Lecturing on many topics.
C. Sharing his values and attitude. D. Being experienced and respected.
13. What is important for the future of medical education
A. Appealing nature of medicine. B. Well-rounded clinical trainings.
C. Hands-on non-virtual experiences. D. Students’ special personal talents.
14. According to paragraph 5, what worries the author
A. Medical professors might be expected to teach wherever they are.
B. Medical professors might not fully devote themselves to teaching.
C. Medical professors might lose most of the students’ satisfaction.
D. Medical professors might change their role to be student-centered.
15. What is the main idea of this passage
A. The issues with reduced face-to-face lecture attendance.
B. The debates over necessity of virtual medical education.
C. The problems of medical students, low employment rate.
D. The concerns about the shift to virtual medical education.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the modem world, we are encouraged to be busy and as productive as possible. Most of us probably feel the pressure to perform efficiently. ____16____ Faster doesn’t equal better. And being busier does not mean we are more productive. We might also struggle to slow down. So how do we slow down Here are some science-based strategies to try.
Take intentional pauses. Taking intentional pauses can lead to better outcomes. It turns out that when teachers pause after asking a question and after receiving a response, it improves students’ use of language and logic. This suggests that we should give ourselves a bit more time to think through the questions we encounter in life.____17____
Spend less time on your phone. We often feel tired and need a break from our busy day, so we pick up our phones. We surf through social media, the news, or shopping websites.____18____ That’s the opposite of slowing down. To start, it would do us some good to spend less time on our phones. Then, it also matters a lot how we spend time on our phones. Are we stimulating our brain with information or anger Or are we using our phones to relax and recover
____19____ Sometimes when we feel overwhelmed by life, s fast pace, the true source of that chaos often lies within our own minds. Maybe we’re running over what we’ll say to our coworker tomorrow. ____20____ One effective strategy to aid this process can be daily journaling — we get those thoughts out of our heads and onto paper. We might also go for a run or take a cold shower — two techniques that can help our brains change direction and start thinking differently.
A. Slow down your mind.
B. Write down your thoughts.
C. And being busier means that we are more productive.
D. Thus, we are more likely to come up with better answers.
E. But all that these activities do is make our heads even fuller.
F. Sometimes we just need to stop briefly and reset our thought.
G. But this feeling of “time urgency” actually leads us to perform worse.

I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem ” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why ” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
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。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over.

My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes.
“What do you think, Mom ” Jason asked, hardly waiting for me to pull the blouse out of the box. “I thought it would look so nice on you.” He smiled at me with anticipation.
At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special. It was a flash of sudden recognition. Then everything changed.
“It’s beautiful” I was able to say genuinely as I hugged him.
“Try it on. I want to see how it looks,” Jason added.
“I know just the skirt to try it with,” I said as I headed towards my closet.
When I returned with the outfit on, Jason was waiting. “It looks just like I thought it would. It’s pretty on you, Mom,” Jason said.
I tried to stop the tears that were welling in the corner of my eyes. “Thank you, honey. It is a beautiful blouse. I can tell you put a lot of thought into picking it out.”
Jason probably wondered why I was so emotional over the gift. It made me think back on the gifts I’d ignored. Maybe the people who gave me the gifts saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. That opened me up to change and growth.
In the years since, I received my son’s present. I have rarely felt disappointed when a gift doesn’t match my interests or desires. I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude. This change has made holidays more joyful and deepened my appreciation for family and friends.
There is surely something special about receiving a gift that is perfectly suited for you. But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart.

A. Curious. B. Relieved. C. Guilty. D. Dissatisfied.
5. What mainly changed the author’s attitude toward Jason’s gift

6. After reflecting on past gifts, the author became _________.

Eating a plant- based diet has been shown to be very good for your heart and your overall health. In fact, a recent study found a young person could live an additional 13 years by eating more vegetables and legumes (豆类), as well as whole grains, fruit and nuts.
Which makes the findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition rather shocking: Eating veggies, especially cooked ones, doesn’t reduce your risk of heart disease over time.
“Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD (cardiovascular disease),” said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement.
While the study found eating raw veggies could protect against heart disease cooked vegetables did not. Any benefit went away when researchers factored in lifestyle factors such as physical activity, educational level, smoking, drinking, fruit intake, red and processed meat consumption, and use of mineral and vitamin supplements.
“Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be accounted for by bias (偏差)… related to differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,” Feng said.
Don’t start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly took exception to the study’s conclusion
“Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn’t associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn’t mean we should stop eating vegetables,” said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement.
“The results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e. g., vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect,” Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at Tufts University’s Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told CNN in an email.
“One thing that has become clear over the past decade is we should not be looking at single food s or nutrients, rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein.
8. What can we learn from the new study led by Feng
A. It followed a young UK person for 13 years.
B. Its findings came as no surprise to other people.
C. It overturned the conclusion of previous studies.
D. Its purpose was to find the right vegetables for people.
9. What did Feng imply about vegetables’ protective effect
A. It was totally made up by some researchers.
B. It still held true despite some different findings.
C. It could only be achieved by living a healthy lifestyle.
D. It was a misconception caused by differences in people.
10. Which of following is closest in meaning to underlined phrase“ take exception to”
A. Voice objections to. B. Add details to.
C. Display ignorance of. D. Take notice of.
11. What did Lichtenstein think of the study
A. It was groundbreaking. B. It was one- sided.
C. It would cause confusion. D. It needed more evidence.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
D
I have taught medical students for 40 years in many contexts — on hospital rounds, during patient appointments, running small group discussions, and teaching large classes. I have lectured on topics that range from biochemical pathways to lifestyle diseases to nutrition science and the biology of aging.
The most pleasing part of teaching is passing along the less visible aspects of being a physician — how to show respect for patients and be a true caregiver. I do this by telling stories about my clinical experience during lectures and the pay-off for me is engagement with students. The pandemic and its consequent shift in how students learn has changed all of that.
In my 40 years of teaching, I’ve never seen such a dramatic change. The pandemic forced first- and second-year medical students into virtual classes, causing in-person attendance to dive. As I watched this shift to remote learning, I worried about its impact on future doctors. The engagement I once saw in the classroom is now hidden behind screens, and I find myself wondering if my stories and lessons are having the same impact.
The shift to virtual learning also worries me about the future of medical education. The personal nature of medicine, often seen in clinical skills training and up-close body studies, is hard to obtain virtually. I’m also concerned about other crucial aspects of early medical school education that I’ve seen benefit students over the years — things like research opportunities, specialty exploration and volunteer work. These activities are much harder to do remotely. These experiences are vital for developing well-rounded, skilled doctors who can provide thorough treatment.
Finally, there is a very real threat to medical education in changing the role of the physician professors. Doctors are unusual among professions in the expectation that they will teach medical students regardless of where and what specific field of medicine they practice. Remove professors’ satisfaction that comes with face-to-face teaching and we risk losing their commitment, much of which is often done on an entirely voluntary basis.
12. What did the author enjoy most in the past 40 years
A. Telling attractive stories. B. Lecturing on many topics.
C. Sharing his values and attitude. D. Being experienced and respected.
13. What is important for the future of medical education
A. Appealing nature of medicine. B. Well-rounded clinical trainings.
C. Hands-on non-virtual experiences. D. Students’ special personal talents.
14. According to paragraph 5, what worries the author
A. Medical professors might be expected to teach wherever they are.
B. Medical professors might not fully devote themselves to teaching.
C. Medical professors might lose most of the students’ satisfaction.
D. Medical professors might change their role to be student-centered.
15. What is the main idea of this passage
A. The issues with reduced face-to-face lecture attendance.
B. The debates over necessity of virtual medical education.
C. The problems of medical students, low employment rate.
D. The concerns about the shift to virtual medical education.

In the modem world, we are encouraged to be busy and as productive as possible. Most of us probably feel the pressure to perform efficiently. ____16____ Faster doesn’t equal better. And being busier does not mean we are more productive. We might also struggle to slow down. So how do we slow down Here are some science-based strategies to try.
Take intentional pauses. Taking intentional pauses can lead to better outcomes. It turns out that when teachers pause after asking a question and after receiving a response, it improves students’ use of language and logic. This suggests that we should give ourselves a bit more time to think through the questions we encounter in life.____17____
Spend less time on your phone. We often feel tired and need a break from our busy day, so we pick up our phones. We surf through social media, the news, or shopping websites.____18____ That’s the opposite of slowing down. To start, it would do us some good to spend less time on our phones. Then, it also matters a lot how we spend time on our phones. Are we stimulating our brain with information or anger Or are we using our phones to relax and recover
____19____ Sometimes when we feel overwhelmed by life, s fast pace, the true source of that chaos often lies within our own minds. Maybe we’re running over what we’ll say to our coworker tomorrow. ____20____ One effective strategy to aid this process can be daily journaling — we get those thoughts out of our heads and onto paper. We might also go for a run or take a cold shower — two techniques that can help our brains change direction and start thinking differently.
A. Slow down your mind.
B. Write down your thoughts.
C. And being busier means that we are more productive.
D. Thus, we are more likely to come up with better answers.
E. But all that these activities do is make our heads even fuller.
F. Sometimes we just need to stop briefly and reset our thought.
G. But this feeling of “time urgency” actually leads us to perform worse.

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。
I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem ” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why ” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
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。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us ” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head.
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors.

One day I was unwrapping a birthday gift from my teenage son—a blouse more stylish than I felt comfortable wearing. My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes.
“What do you think, Mom ” Jason asked, hardly waiting for me to pull the blouse out of the box. “I thought it would look so nice on you.” He smiled at me with anticipation.
At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special. It was a flash of sudden recognition. Then everything changed.
“It’s beautiful,” I was able to say genuinely as I hugged him.
“Try it on. I want to see how it looks,” Jason added.
“I know just the skirt to try it with,” I said as I headed towards my closet.
When I returned with the outfit on, Jason was waiting. “It looks just like I thought it would. It’s pretty on you, Mom,” Jason said.
I tried to stop the tears that were welling in the corner of my eyes. “Thank you, honey. It is a beautiful blouse. I can tell you put a lot of thought into picking it out.”
Jason probably wondered why I was so emotional over the gift. It made me think back on the gifts I’d ignored. Maybe the people who gave me the gifts saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. That opened me up to change and growth.
In the years since, I received my son’s present. I have rarely felt disappointed when a gift doesn’t match my interests or desires. I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude. This change has made holidays more joyful and deepened my appreciation for family and friends.
There is surely something special about receiving a gift that is perfectly suited for you. But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart.
4. How did the author feel in the beginning when receiving the present from her son
A. Curious. B. Relieved. C. Guilty. D. Dissatisfied.
5. What mainly changed the author’s attitude toward Jason’s gift
A. The understanding of Jason’s thoughts.
B. The recognition of her own potential.
C. The skirt that matches the blouse.
D. The praise from Jason.
6. After reflecting on past gifts, the author became _________.
A. careful about choosing gifts
B. indifferent to receiving gifts
C. joyful about choosing gifts
D. grateful for receiving gifts
7. What can we learn from this passage
A. What suits you is best for you.
B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
C. An open mind is the source of progress.
D. Unspoken gratitude is often the most heartfelt.
C
Eating a plant- based diet has been shown to be very good for your heart and your overall health. In fact, a recent study found a young person could live an additional 13 years by eating more vegetables and legumes (豆类), as well as whole grains, fruit and nuts.
Which makes the findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition rather shocking: Eating veggies, especially cooked ones, doesn’t reduce your risk of heart disease over time.
“Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD (cardiovascular disease),” said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement.
While the study found eating raw veggies could protect against heart disease, cooked vegetables did not. Any benefit went away when researchers factored in lifestyle factors such as physical activity, educational level, smoking, drinking, fruit intake, red and processed meat consumption, and use of mineral and vitamin supplements.
“Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be accounted for by bias (偏差)… related to differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,” Feng said.
Don’t start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly took exception to the study’s conclusion
“Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn’t associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn’t mean we should stop eating vegetables,” said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement.
“The results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e. g., vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect,” Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at Tufts University’s Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told CNN in an email.
“One thing that has become clear over the past decade is we should not be looking at single food s or nutrients, rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein.
8. What can we learn from the new study led by Feng
A It followed a young UK person for 13 years.
B. Its findings came as no surprise to other people.
C. It overturned the conclusion of previous studies.
D. Its purpose was to find the right vegetables for people.
9. What did Feng imply about vegetables’ protective effect
A. It was totally made up by some researchers.

I have taught medical students for 40 years in many contexts — on hospital rounds, during patient appointments, running small group discussions, and teaching large classes. I have lectured on topics that range from biochemical pathways to lifestyle diseases to nutrition science and the biology of aging.
The most pleasing part of teaching is passing along the less visible aspects of being a physician — how to show respect for patients and be a true caregiver. I do this by telling stories about my clinical experience during lectures and the pay-off for me is engagement with students. The pandemic and its consequent shift in how students learn has changed all of that.
In my 40 years of teaching, I’ve never seen such a dramatic change. The pandemic forced first- and second-year medical students into virtual classes, causing in-person attendance to dive. As I watched this shift to remote learning, I worried about its impact on future doctors. The engagement I once saw in the classroom is now hidden behind screens, and I find myself wondering if my stories and lessons are having the same impact.
The shift to virtual learning also worries me about the future of medical education. The personal nature of medicine often seen in clinical skills training and up-close body studies, is hard to obtain virtually. I’m also concerned about other crucial aspects of early medical school education that I’ve seen benefit students over the years — things like research opportunities, specialty exploration and volunteer work. These activities are much harder to do remotely. These experiences are vital for developing well-rounded, skilled doctors who can provide thorough treatment.
Finally, there is a very real threat to medical education in changing the role of the physician professors. Doctors are unusual among professions in the expectation that they will teach medical students regardless of where and what specific field of medicine they practice. Remove professors’ satisfaction that comes with face-to-face teaching and we risk losing their commitment, much of which is often done on an entirely voluntary basis.
12. What did the author enjoy most in the past 40 years

13. What is important for the future of medical education
A. Appealing nature of medicine. B. Well-rounded clinical trainings.
C. Hands-on non-virtual experiences. D. Students’ special personal talents.
14. According to paragraph 5, what worries the author
A. Medical professors might be expected to teach wherever they are.
B. Medical professors might not fully devote themselves to teaching.
C. Medical professors might lose most of the students’ satisfaction.
D. Medical professors might change their role to be student-centered.

A. The issues with reduced face-to-face lecture attendance.
B. The debates over necessity of virtual medical education.
C. The problems of medical students, low employment rate.
D. The concerns about the shift to virtual medical education.

I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem ” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why ” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
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。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.

One day I was unwrapping a birthday gift from my teenage son—a blouse more stylish than I felt comfortable wearing. My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes.
“What do you think, Mom ” Jason asked, hardly waiting for me to pull the blouse out of the box. “I thought it would look so nice on you.” He smiled at me with anticipation.
At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special. It was a flash of sudden recognition. Then everything changed.
“It’s beautiful” I was able to say genuinely as I hugged him.
“Try it on. I want to see how it looks,” Jason added.
“I know just the skirt to try it with,” I said as I headed towards my closet.
When I returned with the outfit on, Jason was waiting. “It looks just like I thought it would. It’s pretty on you, Mom,” Jason said.
I tried to stop the tears that were welling in the corner of my eyes. “Thank you, honey. It is a beautiful blouse. I can tell you put a lot of thought into picking it out.”
Jason probably wondered why I was so emotional over the gift. It made me think back on the gifts I’d ignored. Maybe the people who gave me the gifts saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. That opened me up to change and growth.
In the years since, I received my son’s present. I have rarely felt disappointed when a gift doesn’t match my interests or desires. I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude. This change has made holidays more joyful and deepened my appreciation for family and friends.
There is surely something special about receiving a gift that is perfectly suited for you. But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart.
4. How did the author feel in the beginning when receiving the present from her son
A. Curious. B. Relieved. C. Guilty. D. Dissatisfied.
5. What mainly changed the author’s attitude toward Jason’s gift
A. The understanding of Jason’s thoughts.
B. The recognition of her own potential.
C. The skirt that matches the blouse.
D. The praise from Jason.
6. After reflecting on past gifts, the author became _________.
A. careful about choosing gifts
B. indifferent to receiving gifts
C. joyful about choosing gifts
D. grateful for receiving gifts
7. What can we learn from this passage
A. What suits you is best for you.
B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
C. An open mind is the source of progress.
D. Unspoken gratitude is often the most heartfelt.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C
C
Eating a plant- based diet has been shown to be very good for your heart and your overall health. In fact, a recent study found a young person could live an additional 13 years by eating more vegetables and legumes (豆类), as well as whole grains, fruit and nuts.
Which makes the findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition rather shocking: Eating veggies, especially cooked ones, doesn’t reduce your risk of heart disease over time.
“Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD (cardiovascular disease),” said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement.
While the study found eating raw veggies could protect against heart disease cooked vegetables did not. Any benefit went away when researchers factored in lifestyle factors such as physical activity, educational level, smoking, drinking, fruit intake, red and processed meat consumption, and use of mineral and vitamin supplements.
“Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be accounted for by bias (偏差)… related to differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,” Feng said.
Don’t start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly took exception to the study’s conclusion
“Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn’t associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn’t mean we should stop eating vegetables,” said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement.
“The results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e. g., vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect,” Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at Tufts University’s Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told CNN in an email.
“One thing that has become clear over the past decade is we should not be looking at single food s or nutrients, rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein.
8. What can we learn from the new study led by Feng
A. It followed a young UK person for 13 years.
B. Its findings came as no surprise to other people.
C. It overturned the conclusion of previous studies.
D. Its purpose was to find the right vegetables for people.
9. What did Feng imply about vegetables’ protective effect
A. It was totally made up by some researchers.
B. It still held true despite some different findings.
C. It could only be achieved by living a healthy lifestyle.
D. It was a misconception caused by differences in people.
10. Which of following is closest in meaning to underlined phrase“ take exception to”
A. Voice objections to. B. Add details to.
C. Display ignorance of. D. Take notice of.
11. What did Lichtenstein think of the study
A. It was groundbreaking. B. It was one- sided.
C. It would cause confusion. D. It needed more evidence.

I’m sorry to hear about your recent setback with your Chinese translation assignment. While AI can be a great tool, it’s important to remember that it should be used as a supplement to our own efforts, not a replacement.

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。
I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem ” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why ” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
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。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.

【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us ” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head.
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors.
