2．Processed foods like chips，soda and frozen pizzas are full of salt，sugar and fat.Now scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans.Scientists have already linked low﹣cost， （1）　 　foods to rising obesity rates around the world.Three recent studies offer more （2）　 　on how our increasingly industrialized food supply may be affecting our health.
What does processed food （3）　 　？
The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups.The system says highly processed foods are made （4）　 　of industrialized materials and additives.Sodas，packaged cookies，instant noodles and chicken nuggets are some examples of highly processed foods.But also included are products that can （5）　 　healthy，such as morning cereals，energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.
What's wrong with processed foods？
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health conducted a four﹣week study involving 20 people.They found that people eat about 500 more calories a day when （6）　 　mostly processed foods.That is compared with when the （7）　 　people were given less processed foods.The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted.They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be （8）　 　.
In another study，researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease.A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death （9）　 　.
What is it about processed foods？
When given less processed foods，people in the study （10）　 　more of a hormone that controls hunger，and less of a hormone that causes hunger.The reason for the （11）　 　is not clear.The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly.
Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study.He told the AP that processed foods are （12）　 　softer and easier to chew and swallow.Hall noted the source of nutrients might （13）　 　.For example，fiber from whole fruits and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.
What should you eat？
Avoiding processed foods can be hard， （14）　 　for people with limited time and money.Processed foods can also take many forms. （15）　 　companies continually re﹣engineer products to make them seem healthier.The newest studies may provide more reasons to avoid processed foods.But，they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that.

4．
Love Is Blind：The Magic of Tabby
In October，2003，I started my work at my local animal shelter's Adoption Department.Over the years，more than 50，000 animals have（1）　 　the doors of the shelter.Most of them，I do not remember.But occasionally there are special animals，who touch me so deeply that I could never possibly（2）　 　them.Tabby was one such animal.
Tabby was an ancient Cocker Spaniel，probably 14 years old.What's more，she was blind and deaf.Tabby's chances at adoption seemed（3）　 　at best.After all，we didn't have many adopters coming in asking，"Can you show me all of your really old dogs who are also（4）　 　？"We had all thought that Tabby would live out the rest of her life at the（5）　 　.
One day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter.Her son，Gary，had（6）　 　Tabby's picture and stories on the shelter's website at home.They were interested in meeting her!It was the only enquiry we ever received about Tabby.What could a young child possibly see in a 14﹣year﹣old dog who was both blind and deaf？Most boys would want a dog who could grow with them and（7）　 　through grassy fields on summer days.Tabby would（8）　 　be able to do that.But after meeting her，Loretta and Gary decided that she was the right dog for their family.They adopted Tabby!
If Tabby's story had simply ended with her（9）　 　adoption，it would still have been something very special indeed.（10）　 　，it was what happened after her adoption that people might regard as "magic".Gary suffered from seizures （癫痫）.Since Gary and Tabby met they became（11）　 　.They did everything together.They became so "in tune"with one another that Tabby began to telegraph Gary's seizures before they occurred，giving his family a（n）（12）　 　that one was about to strike.What's more，Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby's（13）　 　.
How could it be？Nobody could explain（14）　 　Tabby did it.But those of us who were fortunate enough to know her and her family had（15）　 　the magic，the kind that has its roots in love.

5．How many times have parents had to argue with their young son or daughter about getting their face out of their phone and （1）　 　the world around them？It's completely （2）　 　for parents of growing children to be concerned about their children's safety，but is their （3）　 　to social media really harming them？
Social media has recently been added to smartphones，making it far more （4）　 　than it originally was.This new way to easily be able to use social media has （5）　 　children and teens to begin to use sites such as Facebook，Twitter，and Instagram frequently.Maturing teens and children are usually very timid when it （6）　 　socializing with their families，which they sometimes （7）　 　as "annoying".So， （8）　 　do these kids use as a solution or an "escape'"？The answer is simple：social media.
However，parents tend to show（9）　 　for their child and blame social media for （10）　 　 their attention.Parents of growing teens don't seem to （11）　 　that.When they see their child using Twitter or Instagram they think that they are using it to get away from real world （12）　 　.The truth，however，is that they are using it to receive information about what is （13）　 　happening in the modern world.
Social media as a whole has both positive and negative aspects，but after all of the （14）　 　from pre﹣teens，teens，and parents is put together，it shows that media is （15）　 　helping the newer generations in their lives.

6．（2023春 吉安期末）I have received many gifts in my life.I've never been the kind of person to say "it's the thought that （1）　 　" when it comes to gifts.That was until a couple of weeks ago，when my kids gave me a present that （2）　 　 me away.
For years，I've been wanting to （3）　 　 our house，the place where my husband and I raised our kids.But to me，this house is much （4）　 　 just a building.In the front room，there's a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines，marking the （5）　 　 of my children's growth.Every growth stage is marked in grey，with each child's name and the date when they were （6）　 　.Over the years，I've talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved，even though the （7）　 　 marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.

One day he told me，"I can't talk to you on the（7）　 　anymore because I can't see your eyes，and so I am not sure when you are lying to me."That （8）　 　shocked me，because I didn't know he knew I had been lying to him，and he was willing to end our（9）　 　for those lies.I （10）　 　at that moment that I would never lie to him again.It was a （11）　 　transition（转变）to make because I was used to exaggerating（夸大） experiences to get attention.But because of him，I made a deal with myself never to tell any lie again （12）　 　his trust in me was rebuilt.

Love Is Blind：The Magic of Tabby
In October，2003，I started my work at my local animal shelter's Adoption Department.Over the years，more than 50，000 animals have（1）　A　the doors of the shelter.Most of them，I do not remember.But occasionally there are special animals，who touch me so deeply that I could never possibly（2）　B　them.Tabby was one such animal.
Tabby was an ancient Cocker Spaniel，probably 14 years old.What's more，she was blind and deaf.Tabby's chances at adoption seemed（3）　C　at best.After all，we didn't have many adopters coming in asking，"Can you show me all of your really old dogs who are also（4）　A　？"We had all thought that Tabby would live out the rest of her life at the（5）　D　.
One day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter.Her son，Gary，had（6）　C　Tabby's picture and stories on the shelter's website at home.They were interested in meeting her!It was the only enquiry we ever received about Tabby.What could a young child possibly see in a 14﹣year﹣old dog who was both blind and deaf？Most boys would want a dog who could grow with them and（7）　C　through grassy fields on summer days.Tabby would（8）　A　be able to do that.But after meeting her，Loretta and Gary decided that she was the right dog for their family.They adopted Tabby!

How could it be？Nobody could explain（14）　B　Tabby did it.But those of us who were fortunate enough to know her and her family had（15）　D　the magic，the kind that has its roots in love.

【分析】本文一篇记叙文，主要讲了在动物收养部门有一只叫 Tabby的狗，它又聋又瞎，但是却出人意料地被一个叫Gary的男孩所领养，这个男孩患了癫痫，而让人感到不可思议的是，自从Gary收养了 Tabby，他的癫痫很少犯了。这一奇迹的发生都根源于爱。
【解答】（1）A.考查动词及语境理解。A.passed通过；B.broken打破；C.opened打开；D.locked锁。句意为：多年来，已经有5万多只动物通过收容所的大门。根据本空前一句话" In October，2003，I started my work at my local animal shelter's Adoption Department."（2003年十月，我在当地动物庇护所的收养部门工作）所以按照逻辑，应该是有超过五万的动物被领养，即通过了（passed）庇护所的大门，故选A项。
（2）B.考查动词及语境理解。A.recall回忆；B.forget忘记；C.leave离开；D.abandon抛弃。句意为：但偶尔也有一些特殊的动物，它们深深地触动着我，使我永远无法忘记它们。根据空前句"Most of them，I do not remember."（大多数，我都不记得了）及空后句"who touch me so deeply"（他深深地触动了我）可知，作者可能永远不会忘记（forget）它们，故选B项。
（3）C.考查形容词及语境理解。A.possible可能的；B.great了不起的；C.remote遥远的，（可能性或机会）渺茫的，微乎其微的；D.bright明亮的。句意为：Tabby被收养的可能性"微乎其微"。根据本空前一句"she was blind and deaf."（她又老又残疾）故Tabby被收养的可能性"微乎其微"，故选C。
（4）A.考查形容词及语境理解。A.disabled残疾的；B.active活跃的；C.stubborn固执的；D.patient有耐心的。句意为：你能给我看看你那些又老又残疾的狗吗？根据（3）空前一句"she was blind and deaf."（她又老又残疾），故很少有领养的人问：你能给我们看又老又"残疾的"狗吗？故选A。
（5）D.考查名词及语境理解。A.hospital医院；B.roadside路边；C.farm农场；D.shelter避难所，收容所。句意为：我们都以为Tabby会在收容所度过余生。根据上文可知作者在动物收容所工作，而Tabby是收容所里的又老又残疾的狗，所以作者认为没有人会收养它，因而它会在"收容所"度过余生，故选D。
（6）C.考查动词及语境理解。A.posted张贴；邮寄；B.taken拿，取；C.seen看见；D.drawn画，拉。句意为：她的儿子加里（Gary）在家时在收容所的网站上看到了Tabby的照片和故事。根据空后句" They were interested in meeting her!"（他们有兴趣见到她）可知，Gary在来收养部门之前，已经在网站上看过（seen）Tabby的照片和故事了，故选C项。
（7）C.考查动词及语境理解。A.get得到；B.look看；C.run跑；D.break打破，折断。句意为：大多数男孩都想要一只狗，它可以和他们一起成长，在夏天的草地上奔跑。根据句意，大多数孩子都想要一条和他们一起成长的和他们一起在草地上"奔跑"（run through）的狗，故选C。
（8）A.考查副词及语境理解。A.never从未；B.possibly可能；C.frequently频繁地；D.generally一般地。句意为：Tabby绝对做不到。根据第二段第二行"she was blind and deaf."（她又老又残疾）可知Tabby又老又残疾的，所以它永远不可能（never）和孩子一起成长或奔跑，故选A。
（9）C.考查形容词及语境理解。A.temporary临时的；B.normal正常的；C.successful成功的；D.early早。句意为：如果Tabby的故事仅仅以它被成功收养而结束，它仍然会是非常特别的事情。根据句意，如果Tabby的故事以"成功"（successful）被收养结束，这仍然是很特别的事，故选C。
（10）C.考查副词及语境理解。A.Moreover而且；B.However然而；C.Therefore因此；D.Otherwise否则。根据上文If Tabby's story had simply ended with her adoption，it would still have been something very special indeed.可知此处表示转折，故选C。
（11）B.考查形容词及语境理解。A.unforgettable难以忘怀的；B.inseparable不可分离的；C.unfortunate不幸的；D.uncomfortable不舒服的。句意为：自从Gary和Tabby认识后，他们就形影不离了。由本空下一句中是"They did everything together."（他们一起做每件事）推断他们变得"不可分离"（inseparable），故选B。
（12）B.考查名词及语境理解。A.explanation解释；B.warning警告；C.suggestion建议；D.notice注意。句意为：他们彼此变得如此"合拍"，以至于Tabby在Gary癫病发作前感受到并给他家人发出"警告"。根据句意可知，Tabby会在Gary犯病之前给出要犯病的征
