【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了每天早上5点,当大多数人还在睡觉时,Mr Tay和他的团队就开始在厨房忙碌,准备、烹饪、打包食物,并将食物送到岛上各个地方。这一切始于邻居Lisa请求他收集蔬菜并分发给Bukit Ho Swee的贫困居民。
1.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Day in and day out, Mr Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island.”以及最后一段“He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organization’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand.”可知,Willing Hearts为穷人提供食物。故答案为D。
2.D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“They learn how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, they will form a strong tie with one another.”可知,志愿者最大的收获是与人建立良好关系。故答案为D。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段的“As a non-profit organization, Willing Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not faze Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress.”可知,尽管这个非营利组织主要依靠捐赠,但是Tay认为必须让事情逐渐发展,不要被那些制造不必要压力的担忧所阻止,由此可推断这件事不让他烦恼,因此推断faze的意思是“使烦恼”。故答案为B。
4.D 主旨大意题。通读全文,根据文章最后一段的“As a non-profit organization, Willing Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not faze Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress. He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organization’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand.”可知,本文主要讲述了Willing Hearts作为一个非营利组织帮助穷人的故事。故答案为D。

6.D 细节理解题。由第三段中“They then selected the metabolites for their abilities against cancer. After the top six compounds were chosen, scientists analyse their cancer-fighting abilities in human and mouse cells—TVA performed the best in fighting the development of cancer.”可知,科学家通过用人体和老鼠细胞测试了这些化合物的能力来证明六种化合物对癌症有疗效。故选D项。
7.C 推理判断题。由第一段中“Scientists at the University of Chicago have discovered that a compound (化合物) in red meat, dairy and other products might help your body fight against cancer.”和倒数第一段中“‘There is early data showing that other compounds from plants have the same cancer-fighting abilities, so we believe in the future there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do the same thing,’ Chen said.”以及倒数第二段中“There is a growing body of evidence about the negative health effects of consuming too much red meat and dairy…”可知,红肉、乳制品和其他产品中的一种化合物可能有助于你的身体对抗癌症,但不建议摄入过多;由此推知,科学家可能提出“摄入适量的红肉和牛奶”这样的意见。故选C项。
8.A 推理判断题。由最后一段“‘There is early data showing that other compounds from plants have the same cancer-fighting abilities, so we believe in the future there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do the same thing,’ Chen said.”可知,植物中的其他化合物也具有同样的抗癌能力,未来植物中的营养物质也很有可能会起到同样的抗癌作用;由此推知,Chen对他们植物研究的未来持积极态度。故选A项。Period Three Developing ideas

Every morning at 5 am when most people are asleep, a figure would be busy in the kitchen, cooking meals until the rest of the volunteers arrive. Day in and day out, Mr Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island.
His journey started when one of his neighbours, Lisa, asked him to collect vegetables and give them away at Bukit Ho Swee, a poor and less-privileged neighbourhood, and thus, he continued to do so for a period of time. During one of these visits, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. Asked why, one replied that she could not cook, so she only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal sparked Willing Hearts, which has since served about 650,000 meals.
The soup kitchen sees many volunteers, some of whom are new, while others have been around since the organization’s early days. They learn how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, they will form a strong tie with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to make “the country’s backyard” known to the younger generation, to allow them to see and experience first-hand what goes on behind closed doors.
As a non-profit organization, Willing Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not faze Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress. He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organization’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand.

A.It collects vegetables.
B.It delivers rice to the poor.
C.It helps the elderly to cook.
D.It makes meals for the needy.

Scientists at the University of Chicago have discovered that a compound (化合物) in red meat, dairy and other products might help your body fight against cancer. The compound, known as trans-vaccenic acid or TVA, seems to activate the T cells in your body, which help your immune (免疫) system protect you from disease.
TVA is found in the meat of animals such as cows, sheep and other animals, and their dairy products like milk, cheese, butter and cream. The study also finds that cancer patients who have higher levels of TVA in their blood had a better response to immunotherapy (免疫疗法). That discovery suggested to the researchers that TVA might be useful during cancer treatment.
To see that a single nutrient like TVA is so magical to strengthen the immune, the researchers started the research with a database of around 700 known metabolites, which are small molecules (小分子) that come from food. They then selected the metabolites for their abilities against cancer. After the top six compounds were chosen, scientists analyse their cancer-fighting abilities in human and mouse cells—TVA performed the best in fighting the development of cancer.
“It’s very difficult to understand the link between diet and human health because of the wide variety of foods people eat,” Jing Chen, a cancer researcher at the University of Chicago said. “By focusing on nutrients that can activate T cell responses, we found one that actually strengthens anti-cancer immunity by activating an important immune pathway.”
But—to the disappointment of many—the study authors didn’t advise people to eat more red meat and dairy. “There is a growing body of evidence about the negative health effects of consuming too much red meat and dairy,” Chen added, “so this study shouldn’t be taken as an excuse to eat more cheeseburgers and pizza.”
“There is early data showing that other compounds from plants have the same cancer-fighting abilities, so we believe in the future there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do the same thing,” Chen said.
( )5.What role does TVA play in the body’s immune system
A.It prevents the function of immune cells.
B.It wakes up T cells to fight against diseases.
C.It increases the risk of cancer development.
D.It reduces the effect of immunotherapy.
( )6.In what way did scientists prove the effect of six compounds against cancer
A.They conducted surveys among cancer patients.
B.They did experiments on animals to measure the effect.
C.They analysed the taste and flavour of different compounds.
D.They tested the compounds’ abilities using human and mouse cells.
( )7.Which suggestion may come from the scientists in the study
A.Eat no red meat and milk.
B.Increase the intake of red meat and milk.
C.Take in suitable amount of red meat and milk.
D.Take cheeseburgers instead of red meat and milk.
( )8.What’s Chen’s attitude towards the future of their study on plants
A.Positive.
B.Disappointed.
C.Doubtful.
D.Unclear.(共70张PPT)

His journey started when one of his neighbours, Lisa, asked
him to collect vegetables and give them away at Bukit Ho Swee, a
poor and less-privileged neighbourhood, and thus, he continued to
do so for a period of time. During one of these visits, his wife
noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. Asked
why, one replied that she could not cook, so she only ate the rice
delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that
single meal sparked Willing Hearts, which has since served about
650,000 meals.

The soup kitchen sees many volunteers, some of whom are
new, while others have been around since the organization's early
days. They learn how to cook, interact with people from all walks
of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about
social issues, and most importantly, they will form a strong tie with
one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to make “the
country's backyard” known to the younger generation, to allow
them to see and experience first-hand what goes on behind closed
doors.

B[2024·重庆市七校高一期末]
Scientists at the University of Chicago have discovered that a
compound (化合物) in red meat, dairy and other products might
help your body fight against cancer. The compound, known as
trans-vaccenic acid or TVA, seems to activate the T cells in your
body, which help your immune (免疫) system protect you from
disease.
TVA is found in the meat of animals such as cows, sheep and
other animals, and their dairy products like milk, cheese, butter

and cream. The study also finds that cancer patients who have
higher levels of TVA in their blood had a better response to
immunotherapy (免疫疗法). That discovery suggested to the
researchers that TVA might be useful during cancer treatment.
To see that a single nutrient like TVA is so magical to
strengthen the immune, the researchers started the research with a
database of around 700 known metabolites, which are small
molecules (小分子) that come from food. They then selected the
metabolites for their abilities against cancer.

After the top six compounds were chosen, scientists analyse their
cancer-fighting abilities in human and mouse cells—TVA performed
the best in fighting the development of cancer.
“It's very difficult to understand the link between diet and
human health because of the wide variety of foods people eat,”
Jing Chen, a cancer researcher at the University of Chicago said.
“By focusing on nutrients that can activate T cell responses, we
found one that actually strengthens anti-cancer immunity by
activating an important immune pathway.”

But—to the disappointment of many—the study authors didn't
advise people to eat more red meat and dairy. “There is a
growing body of evidence about the negative health effects of
consuming too much red meat and dairy,” Chen added, “so this
study shouldn't be taken as an excuse to eat more cheeseburgers
and pizza.”
“There is early data showing that other compounds from
plants have the same cancer-fighting abilities, so we believe in the
future there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do
the same thing,” Chen said.

[解析] 推理判断题。由第一段中“Scientists at the University of
Chicago have discovered that a compound (化合物) in red meat,
dairy and other products might help your body fight against
cancer.”和倒数第一段中“‘There is early data showing that other
compounds from plants have the same cancer-fighting abilities, so
we believe in the future there is a high possibility that nutrients
from plants can do the same thing,’ Chen said.”以及倒数第二段中
“There is a growing body of evidence about the negative health
effects of consuming too much red meat and dairy…”可知，红肉、
乳制品和其他产品中的一种化合物可能有助于你的身体对抗癌症，但不建议摄
入过多；由此推知，科学家可能提出“摄入适量的红肉和牛奶”这样的意见。
故选C项。
