B The announcement that Indhu Rubasingham is to be the artist director of the Royal National Theatre (NT) in 2025 has been met with cheers, within the industry and without. Workmates at the Kiln theatre in Brent, where Rubasingham has been director since 2012, describe her as inspiring, risk-taking and tough. Rufus Norris has called her “an exceptional artist who I respect and admire hugely”. Rubasingham may be the NT’s female artistic director and the first person of colour in the role, but her own achievements contribute to her position. From a theatre with just 292 seats, she has commissioned (委托) and created productions of international quality. There has been Florian Zeller’s trilogy The father, The Mother and the Son and her production of Zadie Smith’s The Wife of Willesden. A recent success is Ryan Calais Cameron’s civil rights story Retrograde. Rubasingham is not new to National Theatre: as Norris says, “it’s a place she knows well, having directed successfully in each of the three theatres”. However, it’s a big leap from the 292 seats of the Kiln to the challenges of NT, with 2,450 seats, plus outreach, educational and digital programs. All this has to be done against the worst financial (金融的) situations since the NT was founded in 1963．Today, any director of a national arts organization in the UK faces a hard time, with the financial black hole left by the pandemic (疫情). Rubasingham, however, is all about the artists: the play-writers and actors and many other creative talents who make her theatre what it is. That’s the special talent she brings to this position. She herself has described it as “the best job in the world”. 24．What can we learn about Rubasingham from the first two paragraphs? A．She is envied by Rufus Norris. B．She is welcomed to take the position. C．She doesn’t get along with workmates. D．She has moved from the Kiln to the NT. 25．Why are Rubasingham’s productions listed in Paragraph 3? A．To praise her success in directing. B．To promote her works internationally. C．To introduce her understanding of art. D．To show her relationship with play-writers. 26．What challenges will Rubasingham face in her new position? A．The pandemic. B．Little experience. C．Lack of money. D．Technological problems. 27．Which of the following best describes Rubasingham? A．Expert and creative. B．Flexible and generous. C．Energetic and efficient. D．Well-meaning and well-rounded. C Feeling a bit less stable (稳定的) than before? Maybe you find yourself holding on to handrails (扶手) more when going down stairs? As we get older, our balance gets worse. But how much does it matter? A lot, it turns out. If your balance isn’t great, you’re more likely to fall. That can have serious results as we age, when bones often become weak. Research has also shown that balance is important for how long we will live. A study of 1,702 people aged 51 to 75 found that people who couldn’t stand on one leg for ten seconds were nearly twice as likely to die in the next ten years. Falls could be one reason why, but that’s unlikely to be the whole story. Individuals who were in worse health were more likely to fail the ten-second test. There are three parts to balance. The first is the visual system which shows us whether we’re losing balance. Then the vestibular system (前庭系统) in the inner ear sends information to our brain about the move of our head. The third one is our body’s ability to sense its location, movement and actions. People with ear problems that cause dizziness (眩晕), or muscle weakness are more likely to have balance problems. If you suffer from dizziness, see your doctor to find out the reason. But there’s a lot you can do yourself to improve physical strength. If you exercise, you’re ahead of the game. One study found that a group that did 32 weeks of aerobic exercise increased their ability to stand on one foot by 31 per cent. Otherwise, improve your balance by walking, cycling or climbing stairs — this will strengthen muscles in the lower body-or by practising yoga or tai chi. 28．What is the function of Paragraph 1? A．To support an idea. B．To make a conclusion. C．To introduce the topic. D．To give some examples. 29．Why is the study mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．To tell the risk of early death. B．To record people’s living habits. C．To arouse concern about the senior. D．To prove the importance of balance. 30．In normal cases, who is more likely to fall? A．A short-sighted adult. B．An old man with weak muscle. C．A well-trained gymnast. D．A teenage boy with hearing loss. 31．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．How to improve your balance. B．How to strengthen your muscles. C．How to select proper ways to exercise. D．How to keep yourself ahead of a game. D Our future selves used to be a riddle. Now, thanks to social media filters (滤镜), we can stare them right in the face. People fell in love with TikTok this month to share themselves “aging” in real time using a filter “time travel”. Set to a sad song, the effect shows the user’s face slowly getting older, complete with wrinkles (皱纹) and sunspots. Camera filters that age you have been around for years. But advancements in AI are making the results more real. Doctor Aleksandra Brown said the TikTok time travel filter does well in guessing how a given face would age. As we get older, our facial skin thins, fat dissolves (溶解) and gravity pulls everything downward. Not everyone is pleased about this. One of Brown’s friends didn’t like watching time fly past. She couldn’t stand watching herself age 50 years in 15 seconds-could life really go by that fast? Brown cried herself after using the aging effect on her own young daughter. She won’t live to see her daughter get that old, she pointed out. For other people, the time travel filter brought up unexpected positive feelings. Actor Jonathan Bennett shared a video saying his own filtered face recalled happy memories of his late father. Nicole Loehle, a 24-year-old in New Jersey, tested the effect with her boyfriend. It gave her a new viewpoint, she said, she could imagine the relationship lasting into their old age. There’s no correct way to age. But it’s important to remember that no one can stop time or undo its effects. “I keep trying to view aging as a gift.” Brown said, “Some people don’t get to age, unfortunately?” 32．What can people do with the filter “time travel”? A．Find their partners. B．See their aging faces. C．Experience others’ lives. D．Guess their future success. 33．What are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．Reminders of the good old days. B．Reasons for using the aging effect. C．Reflections on close personal relationships. D．Responses to the aging effect of “time travel”. 34．Which of the following would Brown probably agree with? A．It’s good to watch time fly past. B．The “time travel” needs advancements. C．Not everyone is fortunate enough to get old. D．TickTok invented the first app with aging effect. 35．What can be the best title for the text? A．TikTok’s “time travel”: slowly or quickly B．TikTok’s “time travel”: backward or forward C．TikTok’s “time travel”: to enjoy or to suffer D．TikTok’s “time travel”: to develop or to drop 江苏省南通市2023-2024学年高一上学期期末质量监测英语试题 二、阅读理解 A Chongming Island, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River in China, is a beautiful and scenic destination that offers a unique blend (融合) of natural beauty and cultural heritage.

B In late spring and early summer each year, tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises (蚕蛹) in the butterfly valley in southwest China’s Yunnan province. For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen, it is the busiest time of the year, but he greets it with great enthusiasm. Before the break of dawn, Yang has already arrived at the observation point, busily tending to the needs of the awakening butterflies. “Due to warmer temperatures, the ‘butterfly explosion’ this year occurred slightly earlier than usual, and the size of the butterflies is larger than that in previous years,” said 46-year-old Yang, curator (馆长) of the butterfly valley museum. “We expect that there will be about 80 million to 100 million butterflies in the valley during this year’s ‘butterfly explosion’. That seems so crazy,” said Yang. According to Yang, in the valley, more than 320 butterfly species have been identified in specimens or photographs, including the rarest, most primitive, largest and smallest butterflies in China. Besides Yang, many local villages have also assumed the role of butterfly guardians. However, the journey toward achieving human-butterfly harmony was far from easy. Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection, believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops. They viewed them as pests that should be removed. In 1998, Yang began his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma’an’di Township, the very place where the butterfly valley lies. “It was there that I got into a frequent dilemma— the local villagers, seeking to protect their crops, would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies,” he said. “However, my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects.” Now, the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfully changed the once extremely poor township. More villagers have started reproducing butterflies. He describes the butterfly valley as a “dream-making machine”, which extends the “butterfly dream” of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. 24．What made Yang’s aim to reach human-butterfly harmony hard in the beginning? A．Warm temperatures in local villages. B．The number and size of the butterflies. C．Improper location of the butterfly valley. D．Lack of awareness of butterfly protection. 25．What does the underlined word “dilemma” in paragraph 4 mean? A．A choice difficult to make. B．A fact easy to understand. C．A duty hard to carry out. D．A situation smooth to deal with. 26．Which of the following best describe Yang Zhenwen? A．Honest and professional. B．Humorous and creative. C．Hard-working and strong-willed. D．Generous and easy-going. 27．Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Changing the Poor State of a Town B．Volunteering as a Butterfly Guardian C．Helping Butterflies Spread Their Wings D．Developing a Relationship with the Locals C A famous health tip says you’d better drink eight glasses of water（about two liters）a day. However, the results of a new study suggest that fewer are needed. An international group led by scientists at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology in China found that the average daily water intake of a man in his 20s should be 1.5 to 1.8 liters, while it should be 1.3 to 1.4 liters for a female in the same age group. The study published recently in the Journal Science described, for the first time, a set of equations（方程组）to predict human water turnover, a sign reflecting the amount of water used by the body each day. The researchers investigated 5,604 participants from the ages of 8 days to 96 years from more than 20 countries, using isotope（同位素）-tracking methods. They have found that a man aged 20 to 35 consumes 4.2 liters of water each day, while a woman aged 30 to 60 consumes 3.3 liters, with the water requirements dropping as he or she ages. Since the metabolism（新陈代谢）and water exchange on skin can provide 15 percent, while food and drinking respectively contributing half of the remaining 85 percent, people are encouraged to drink less than 45 percent of the total daily turnover, according to the researchers. “The majority of people perhaps don’t have to drink eight glasses of water a day,” says Zhang Xueying, co-first author of the paper and an assistant research fellow at the SIAT. The total water input and output change according to a number of factors, including body size, physical activity, air temperature and altitude（海拔）, according to the study. “The equations can be applied to individuals around the world,” says Zhang. However, people living in countries with a low human development index（指数）have higher water turnover than people in developed countries, she adds. The study challenges the long-standing belief and marks the first step towards a personalized prediction of water requirements, says John Speakman, who also works at the SIAT. 28．How did the researchers carry out the study? A．By offering examples. B．By analyzing figures. C．By performing interviews. D．By making predictions. 29．Why do most people drink less than eight glasses of water per day? A．Their daily diets are rich in protein. B．Their bodies don’t need so much water. C．They belong to different age groups. D．They take in water from various sources. 30．What can we learn from paragraph 4? A．Living conditions influence human water turnover. B．The equations are used to determine water turnover. C．Body size is unlikely to change the output of water. D．Temperature has nothing to do with the input of water. 31．What does John Speakman think of the study? A．It has a long way to go. B．It remains a riddle. C．It wins public support. D．It is beyond control. D Fidget toys have been going viral recently, arousing safety concerns among parents and the whole society. To better protect the physical and mental health of young students, the Ministry of Education recently issued a notice, aiming to prevent fidget toys from presenting a risk to the health of the younger generations. Fidget toys include inhaler nasal sticks and radish knives, which are popular as stress-relievers among students. The “Energy Stick,” or inhaler nasal stick, has been selling well online recently on platforms such as Taobao. Some online shops have already sold nearly 100,000 sticks, whose prices range from 6 yuan to approximately 128 yuan. The product contains watermelon, tea and orange flavors and even alcohol to attract more customers. The online store salesperson responded by stating that the main ingredients of the product are camphor and mint (薄荷), which do not contain any addictive properties. Meanwhile, Zhao Ting, a medical expert, told the Global Times that some children are likely to get addicted to the “Energy Stick.” The colorful plastic toy knife, a radish knife, nicknamed “Carrot Knife,” has also skyrocketed an astonishing selling online. “After her classmate had bought a Carrot Knife and said it was a fun toy to use, my daughter also bought one, which makes me anxious.” Julian, a father from Beijing told the Global Times on Saturday. Some of radish knives are so small that they can be gripped in the palm of a child’s hand while others are as long as one meter. There are various ways of playing with the radish knife, with some mimic (模拟) attack at friends as part of a game, according to media reports. Experts warned that such toys could encourage violence and cause long-term mental harm to children. To change this situation, the government stressed the importance on maintaining strict management, and stopping harmful toys into campus. Schools should organize safety promotion activities to teach students to correctly identify and keep away from dangerous and harmful toys. Also, parents should teach their children to play with toys safely and correctly. 32．Why have fidget toys become popular recently? A．They are beneficial to young students’ well-being.

The Bad Speller by William Steig Reading this as a child was a life-changing moment. Although I loved reading, I found it quite difficult. My mum had an American friend who bought me this book because she knew how much I struggled with spelling, and she thought it would make me laugh. It really did. And it stuck in my memory a lot. Even now, it’s one of those books that never seems to age. I love the drawings—they planted a seed in my head somewhere that pictures and words go together and can be really funny. Silly Verse for Kids by Spike Milligan This book is so tiny and thin, but I loved that it had all these silly poems inside with rich attractive drawings—and it made me want to write rhymes, and to have a go at drawing. After buying this in a local bookshop, I started reading it. And after finishing reading it, I started writing my own poetry. I’m always including silly poems in my books and I think that’s definitely down to the influence of this book. Jaws by Peter Benchley This book has a particular meaning for me. In school, I had a teacher who didn’t have a television. It made me think when I had to come up with a story for my homework, I could just change the plot of Jaws a little and he’d never know. When he read it, he thought it was amazing. I tell that story to children now, because copying other people’s stories is a great way of learning how to do things—by seeing how other people do them. 21．What is the purpose of the text? A．To explain three bestsellers of Liz Pichon. B．To sell Liz Pichon’s favorite books. C．To introduce three life-changing books. D．To promote Tom Gates series for children. 22．Which of the following books develops Liz Pichon’s interests in poems? A．The Bad Speller. B．Silly Verse for Kids. C．Jaws. D．Tom Gates series. 23．What do The Bad Speller and Silly Verse for Kids have in common? A．They’re both difficult to read B．They both have wonderful drawings. C．They’re both given as a present. D．They both contribute to Liz’s spelling. 24．What particular meaning docs the book Jaws have for Liz Pichon? A．It taught her to do things by copying. B．It helped her get along with her teacher.

C．On the English-talents list. D．In the education column of a magazine. B If you thought that your child’s academic performance is based simply on the number of hours spent on studying, you are wrong. Good grades are a result of multiple factors, everything from the child’s brains to the environment they are in. And one of the major, mostly ignored, influencing factor is physical health. Physical activity and health actually can improve a person’s ability to learn. According to the National Academy of Medicine, exercise can improve a child’s cognitive abilities, health, and academic performance significantly. According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regular aerobic exercise betters the functioning of the hippocampus, the area of the brain involved in learning and memory. Other forms of exercise like balance exercises, muscle exercises, and resistance training did not have the same result on the brain. The effect of exercise on memory and thinking is both direct and indirect. Directly, regular exercise gives the ability to increase the release of growth factors. These growth factors are chemicals in the brain that affect the growth of new blood vessels, the health of brain cells, as well as the survival of new brain cells. On the other hand, getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and mood. It will also reduce stress and anxiety. It is believed that the benefits of exercise during the school day are greater than those coming from increasing class time. Furthermore, the greatest cognitive benefits from physical education have been seen to come about when physical education was given either in the first half of the day or midday rather than at the end of the day. In order to get the children moving, rest time, PE classes, biking or walking to school should be promoted. Activities like after-school sports that used to be held at school should be restarted. Physical activity should not be seen as a dispensable option but as an important educational concern. 26．What factor is often forgotten when it comes to good grades? A．Child’s High IQ. B．A good environment. C．Physical health. D．The hours spent on learning. 27．Which of the following exercises is best for learning and memory? A．Regular aerobic exercise. B．Balance exercise C．Muscle exercise. D．Resistance training 28．How does exercise influence thinking indirectly? A．By releasing growth factors in large numbers. B．By influencing the growth of new blood vessels. C．By affecting the survival of new brain cells. D．By improving a person’s mood and sleep quality. 29．What does the underlined word “dispensable”mean in the last paragraph? A．Unique. B．Universal. C．Unusual. D．Unnecessary. 30．What is the passage mainly about? A．Mental health should never be ignored. B．Physical education class is really a good option. C．Exercise may bring about good academic grades. D．Different exercises have different results on the brain. C Since Zhao Hongshan’s dermal filler injection (皮肤填充注射) four years ago—he has spent around 80,000 yuan on his face. “Getting plastic surgeries is just as normal as body building. Both make men more handsome and confident,” says the 33-year-old, who owns a gym in Beijing. Zhao is among a growing number of Chinese men using plastic surgeries to change their physical appearance to increase their self-confidence. In 2021, the market for beauty medicine in China was worth more than 495 billion yuan, with males accounting for around 15 percent of customers, according to a report by plastic surgery social networking app Gengmei. There is a rising trend of young men turning to plastic surgeries; most male customers are in their teens or 20s. “Some men just want to please themselves, while others hope to improve their possibility in job hunting or dating,” says Wang Jun, vice-president of marketing for Gengmei. “Men are under the same social pressures as women and their confidence and competitiveness would be more or less weakened by facial and body weaknesses.” However, experts point out the risks of plastic surgeries. Fan Jufeng, director of the Plastic Surgery Department at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, does not encourage people, no matter men or women, to “blindly” go under the knife. According to the National Health Commission, a total of 2,772 cases related to illegal (非法的) plastic surgeries were handled by China's health departments during a year long attack that started in May 2017. Fan also warned the public of the negative influences of live streaming celebrities (流量明星) who promote the misunderstanding that being pretty goes above all else. “Whether to have plastic surgeries is a personal choice, but people should not be addicted (上瘾) to it,” Fan says. “Think twice on it. After all, a rich and beautiful inside world is far more important than a pretty face.” 31．How does the author introduce the topic of plastic surgeries? A．By giving an example. B．By providing data C．By raising a question. D．By making suggestions. 32．What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A．The huge cost of men’s beauty market in China. B．The growing beauty market for the Chinese men. C．The rising trend of young men turning to plastic surgeries. D．The reason for the increasing popularity of plastic surgeries. 33．What do Wang Jun’s words show in Paragraph 3? A．The benefits of men’s plastic surgeries. B．The great social pressure for Chinese men. C．The reasons for men’s plastic surgeries. D．The misunderstanding of the short cut to success. 34．Why does Fan Jufeng advise thinking twice on plastic surgeries? A．They’re unsafe in health. B．They’re expensive in price. C．They’re wrong in beliefs. D．They’re useless in job hunting. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．Plastic Surgeries—Male vs Female B．Women’s Plastic Surgeries—Yes or No C．Plastic Surgeries—Price vs Result D．Plastic Surgeries—Blind or Not 江苏省常州市2023-2024学年高一上学期期末英语试卷 一、阅读理解 A Good Part-Time Jobs for Teens Consider what your goals are.

B Ridley Scott’s famous war film “Napoleon (拿破仑)” is a series of successful battles looking for a better movie to connect them. Once again, Scott’s craftsmanship (技艺) is on show here, but it’s in service of a deeply shallow screenplay. A great actor is reduced to a ghostly presence in the middle of the movie, and his partner, the character who needs to give the film a beating heart, comes off as flat and hollow. One of the problems is that the film script tries to put a lot of life into the running time of a single film. Naturally, it opens during the French Revolution, as Napoleon climbs up the political ladder of France with his war talents above all else. Another part of the problem is that Kirby, the leading actress never really understands what to play with Josephine, a mysterious celebrity (名人) who becomes too much of a mirror for Napoleon. She couldn’t give Napoleon a son, which resulted in their break-up. Was Napoleon the kind of world leader whose own unsafety resulted in killings we have seen in history? That’s here in a few places, but Scott is uninterested in making any sort of statement about Napoleon or men like him. A very just-the-facts approach of “Napoleon” is incredibly disappointing for a filmmaker who usually finds so much depth in the stories he tells. Worst of all, by the time “Napoleon” gets to Waterloo, we don’t know much more about the main character than we did when we came in. That’s a problem. Having said that, the wonderful war scenes in “Napoleon” may be enough to prove its existence for fans of historical war films. Whether its bloodied bodies breaking through ice or waves of soldiers rushing into battle, “Napoleon” has some fantastic battle scenes. Maybe the point is that Napoleon Bonaparte was only truly alive when surrounded by so much death. 4．How do you understand the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 1? A．Solid. B．Deep. C．Empty. D．Smooth. 5．What can we infer from Paragraph 2 to 4? A．The film successfully covers Napoleon’s whole life. B．Kirby has a good understanding of how to play Josephine. C．People couldn’t know Napoleon better through this film. D．There are some outstanding features of “Napoleon”. 6．What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A．The successful battle scenes in “Napoleon”. B．The achievements of Napoleon Bonaparte. C．The wars Napoleon Bonaparte fighting in. D．The reason for Napoleon Bonaparte’s aliveness. 7．What type of writing is this text? A．A news report. B．A film review. C．A historical document. D．A science fiction. C The Longtaitou Festival, which means “dragon-raises head” in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. So, it’s also called Eryueer Festival. In Chinese culture, the dragon is an auspicious (吉利的) animal that dominates clouds and rains. The 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month is thought to be the day when dragon awakes and raises its head according to the Chinese folk legend. So the day is called Dragon Heads-raising Day. After the day, spring is coming and there will be more and more rain. People think these credits (功劳) go to the dragon. So the day is also called Spring Dragon Festival. Since the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), Chinese people have had the custom of spending the Spring Dragon Festival. The most popular custom on the Dragon Heads-raising Day is cutting hair. Dragon is highly honored for its dignity (尊贵) and power for good. It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on the Dragon Heads-raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock you in the year.

People in different areas have different traditions about the food on the day. In Beijing, people eat Lvdagunr (Glutinous Rice Rolls with Sweet Bean Flour) and spring pancakes on the day. In Shanxi, people like to eat fried dough twists (油条) and pancakes. In Shandong, fried soy beans, noodles and dumplings are the festival food.

D Should martial arts be part of the school curriculum (课程)? In the United States and most of Europe, self-defense is not taught at schools. Yes, schools have after-school clubs with trainers from both inside and outside the school using the gyms and classroom to teach a big range of martial arts, but schools very rarely have it on their curriculum, let alone as a main subject. But after new research that shows that obesity (肥胖) levels are still rising in the first world at a surprising rate, some are suggesting that martial arts may help fight obesity, and also help children become better adapted to the wider world in terms of self-defense and discipline (自律). Martial arts provide not just a physical work out, but also a chance to develop self-defense skills while training both the body and mind to be disciplined and mindful. Studies have shown that there is a significant connection between practicing martial arts and self-esteem (自尊). Through the arts, students can develop discipline, and cultivate respect for different cultures-something even more important than ever before in our increasingly divided societies. Martial arts also strengthen muscles,improves flexibility and balance. Everyone knows that with better physical health, come better, happier lives. However, some have been keen to point out that yes, martial arts in every school would be great, but finding those who are trained and qualified (合格的) to teach martial arts could probably prove to be challenge. They believe it is a chicken and egg situation, where without compulsory (强制的) curriculum of martial arts, those who are good at it may never find themselves in a dojo (武术馆) to find out. But to bring it to everyone you need experienced trainers who can teach the martial arts without fear of mishap (不幸事故) or physical damage. 12．What’s the topic of this text? A．What martial arts are. B．Whether martial arts should be on school curriculum. C．Who should teach martial arts as a main subject at school. D．How martial arts work for schools. 13．Why should martial arts be added into the curriculum? A．Self-defense is not taught at schools. B．Obesity levels are still rising fast in the world. C．It provides physical and mental benefits. D．It can help prevent physical damage. 14．What are the “chicken” and the “egg” in the “a chicken and egg situation” in the last paragraph? A．Building a dojo and finding the trainers.. B．Teaching martial arts and the physical damage. C．Lack of trainers and the fear of mishap. D．Lack of trainers and no compulsory curriculum of martial arts. 15．What is the author’s attitude towards adding martial arts to the curriculum? A．Unclear. B．Uninterested. C．Disliking.

It is the earliest, most well-preserved, most graceful and thinnest dress in the world. The plain gown, “thin as a cicada (蝉) wing” and “light as smoke”, weighs 49 grams. Shaw as highly valued and luxurious (奢侈的) for common people. Luo RobeWell-suited for the southern regions of China, luo has larger holes in the fabric compared with sha, making it more lightweight and breathable. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, luo was mainly used for the upper class, and only officials of fifth rank or higher were permitted to wear clothes made of the material. Ge ClothesResourceful individuals discovered a method to use plant fibers for clothing production, significantly reducing the cost of summer garments, that is Ge. Known as kudzu or Chinese arrowroot, Ge represents the earliest use of natural fiber as fabric in China. Once the lunar month of June arrived, people would usually change to get clothing. Liang dangA classic style of costume appeared during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Liang dang consists of front and back pieces, later called the vest. It was convenient for people who work outdoors for long periods. 1．What is the common feature of sha and luo? A．Light and expensive. B．Thick and graceful. C．Affordable and ordinary. D．Hard and traditional. 2．When did the original form of vest appear? A．The Han Dynasty. B．The Tang Dynasty. C．The Song Dynasty.

B In 2007, Christine Me Millan interviewed seniors about their most pressing needs, who lived in Bowling Green 2, a private apartment building. It offers great conveniences: affordable apartments and within walking distance of grocery stores, drugstores and banks. However, the 12 citizens McMillan spoke to shared a serious unaddressed problem: loneliness. Most sat in their apartments all day, watching TV and napping and living on tea, toast and cereal because they were unwilling to cook a proper meal for themselves. They were afraid of going into long-term care but couldn’t afford to move to a nursing home (养老院). “What they said really concerned me,” says McMillan. “Why couldn’t the activities and meals in the common room of a nursing home exist in the shared spaces of a private apartment building?” McMillan and her team, who named their concept Oasis, encouraged Bowling Green 2’s landlord (房东) to let the group use the common room and to change an unused space into a coffee lounge for members. In 2010, with funding (资金) from the government, they hired fulltime workers to run the program, including group exercise classes and activities like art lessons and Wii bowling. Meanwhile, Oasis partnered with St. Lawrence College, whose culinary (烹饪的) students created healthy meals for a small fee. Within the first year, the program almost doubled in size. Seventy-seven-year-old Elaine Watier, who moved into the building and joined Oasis in 2017, immediately benefited from the program, learning to play bridge and starting a craft group that makes projects for local charities and hospitals. “It’s given me a sense of worth,” she says. “And I’m never lonely.” In 2018, Oasis attracted the attention of researchers at Queen’s University. “I saw this as an perfect program to support older adults at home,” explains Catherine Donnelly, director of the school’s Health Services and Policy Research Institute, reporting the program had led to fewer falls, less inactivity, better nutrition and an increased sense of community. 4．What is probably the major concern of the 12 citizens in Bowling Green 2?

D．To show the benefits of Oasis. 7．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Loneliness: The Universal Issue B．McMillan: The Founder of Oasis C．Oasis: The Home of Senior Citizens D．Activities: The Art Lessons for Old People C In a world featuring endless choices, the search for simplicity has become more than just a desire—it’s a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices. The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a sign if can’t rule—a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from puting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions. The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process. Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of  “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision. 8．What are the readers encouraged to do according to paragraph 2? A．Solve uncertain matters. B．Summarize a key principle. C．Concentrate on related things. D．Make decisions independently. 9．Why is the book a practical guide to readers? A．To provide readers with life values. B．To help readers express philosophy. C．To improve readers’ critical thinking skills. D．To equip readers with decision-making skills. 10．What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A．Definition of simplicity. B．Rules of making decisions. C．Benefits of stressing clarity. D．Influences of decision-making. 11．What is the article aimed at? A．Recommending a book. B．Sharing a positive attitude. C．Describing a simple lifestyle D．Solving philosophical problems. D Studies have shown how we understand our strength contributes to the extent to which our muscles might waste with disuse. When researchers at Ohio University examined the strength among a group of adults, who agreed to have their wrists immobilized for a week to cause weakness, they found that only imagining having strong muscles reduced the loss in strength by 50 percent. Crum, a pioneer in this area, found in his study that having a different attitude can maximize (最大化) the benefits of all the occasional exercise we do each day, such as housework or walking around the shops. It appears that tracking our steps through smart watches and other wearable technologies can make a difference to how we understand our fitness. The study showed people who had previously regarded themselves as inactive, were found that they were actually completing about 7000 steps a day and began to report improved mood, better confidence and even an increase in aerobic fitness measurements, even though they weren’t exercising more than usual. An even more unexpected fitness trick might come from our gut. It seems that having the right populations of gut bacteria (肠道菌群) makes you more likely to exercise. Last December, Christopher Thais sat the University of Pennsylvania and his colleagues found that differences in gut bacterial populations appeared to play a much greater role than genetics (遗传学) when it came to running performance in mice. They identified two particular bacteria as being especially important. When the mice were given these in supplements, it seemed to increase their desire to exercise. It remains to be seen whether this works effectively in humans. We still have much to learn about whether changing microbial populations can make us fitter, says Shrushti Shah at the University of Calgary in Canada. This could be significant, as many of us struggle to find the motivation to exercise. 12．What does the underlined word “immobilized” in paragraph 1mean? A．Balanced. B．Fixed. C．Straightened. D．Bent. 13．What is presented in Crum’s finding? A．Tracking steps is necessary in daily routine. B．Attitude matters to all the occasional exercise. C．Walking around the shops amounts to 7000 steps. D．Inactive people have trouble in completing exercise. 14．What is the function of the example in paragraph 3? A．To further explain the research method. B．To support evidence for the research result. C．To show potential application of the research finding. D．To present a reasonable doubt about the research process. 15．What is the author’s attitude toward the application of the two particular bacteria in humans? A．Indifferent. B．Doubtful. C．Cautious. D．Supportive. 答案： 江苏省连云港市2023-2024学年高一上学期1月期末英语试题 21．A 22．C 23．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了欧洲度假的四个最佳景点。 21．细节理解题。根据小标题Barcelona, Spain下的“Barcelona takes first place, with the highest number of cheap restaurants and budget (经济型) hotels.

Also, parents should teach their children to play with toys safely and correctly.(专家警告说，这些玩具可能会鼓励暴力，并对儿童造成长期的精神伤害。为了改变这种情况，政府强调了保持严格管理的重要性，并阻止有害玩具进入校园。学校应组织安全宣传活动，教导学生正确识别和远离危险有害玩具。此外，父母应该教孩子安全、正确地玩玩具)”可知，最后一段主要讲处理指尖玩具的实际措施。故选C。 江苏省无锡市2023-2024学年高一上学期期末教学质量调研测试英语试题 21．C 22．B 23．B 24．A 25．D 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三本对莉兹·皮琼有深远影响的书籍。 21．推理判断题。根据第一段“Liz Pichon, known for her bcstselling Tom Gates series for children, shares the books that shaped her.

(自从四年前赵洪山打了真皮填充剂以来，他已经在脸上花了大约8万元。“做整形手术和健身一样正常。都能让男人更帅、更自信。”33岁的他在北京拥有一家健身房。)”可知，作者通过举例介绍整形外科的话题。故选A。 32．主旨大意题。由文章第二段中“Zhao is among a growing number of Chinese men using plastic surgeries to change their physical appearance to increase their self-confidence. In 2021, the market for beauty medicine in China was worth more than 495 billion yuan, with males accounting for around 15 percent of customers, according to a report by plastic surgery social networking app Gengmei. (越来越多的中国男性通过整形手术来改变自己的外表，以增加自信，赵就是其中之一。根据整形外科社交网络应用更美发布的一份报告，2021年，中国美容药物市场价值超过4950亿元人民币，其中男性约占客户总数的15%。)”可知，第2段主要关注越来越多的中国男性通过整形手术来改变自己的外表，即中国男性日益增长的美容市场。故选B。 33．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Some men just want to please themselves, while others hope to improve their possibility in job hunting or dating (一些男人只是想取悦自己，而另一些人则希望在找工作或约会时提高自己的可能性。)”和“Men are under the same social pressures as women and their confidence and competitiveness would be more or less weakened by facial and body weaknesses (男性和女性面临着同样的社会压力，他们的自信和竞争力或多或少会被面部和身体的弱点削弱)”可知，他的话解释了男人做整形手术的原因。故选C。 34．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Fan also warned the public of the negative influences of live streaming celebrities (流量明星) who promote the misunderstanding that being pretty goes above all else. “Whether to have plastic surgeries is a personal choice, but people should not be addicted (上瘾) to it,” Fan says. “Think twice on it. After all, a rich and beautiful inside world is far more important than a pretty face.” (范还提醒公众注意直播明星的负面影响，他们助长了“颜值高于一切”的误解。“是否整容是个人选择，但人们不应该沉迷于此，”范说。“三思而后行。毕竟，丰富美丽的内心世界远比漂亮的脸蛋重要得多。”)”可知，他认为很多人的想法是错误的，丰富美丽的内心世界远比漂亮的脸蛋重要得多。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第四段“However, experts point out the risks of plastic surgeries. Fan Jufeng, director of the Plastic Surgery Department at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, does not encourage people, no matter men or women, to “blindly” go under the knife. (然而，专家指出了整形手术的风险。北京朝阳医院整形外科主任范巨峰不鼓励人们，无论男女，“盲目”地接受手术。)”点明了文章的主题，即不要“盲目”地接受整形手术。选项D“Plastic Surgeries—Blind or Not (整形手术——盲目与否)”符合题意。故选D。 江苏省常州市2023-2024学年高一上学期期末英语试卷 1．B 2．B 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是青少年不错的兼职工作，青少年兼职工作的利弊和青少年准备好志愿者工作的标志。 1．细节理解题。根据Good Part-Time Jobs for Teens部分第二段的“You also should consider your specific state’s labor laws.(你还应该考虑你所在州的劳动法)”可知，找兼职工作不应该忽视法律。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据Pros and Cons of Part-Time Jobs for Teens部分表格中的“Build life skills(培养生活技能)”可知，你决定做一份兼职工作可能是因为它为你将来的生活获得更多的技能。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据Signs a Teen Is Ready for a Job部分的“*Willingness to be a team player.(愿意成为团队合作者。)”可知，能够与他人一起工作说明你准备好做兼职了。故选D。 4．C 5．C 6．A 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Ridley Scott的电影《拿破仑》所存在的一些问题。 4．词句猜测题。根据第一段“A great actor is reduced to a ghostly presence in the middle of the movie, and his partner, the character who needs to give the film a beating heart, comes off as flat and hollow.(一个伟大的演员在电影中间变成了幽灵般的存在，而他的搭档，那个需要给电影注入活力的角色，却表现得平淡无奇和hollow)”可知，电影中演员的表现不尽如人意，那个需要给给电影注入活力的角色显得平淡而空洞，推测划线词hollow的意思是“空洞的，空的”，和empty意思相近，故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据第四段“Worst of all, by the time “Napoleon” gets to Waterloo, we don’t know much more about the main character than we did when we came in. That’s a problem.(最糟糕的是，当“拿破仑”到达滑铁卢时，我们对主角的了解并不比我们刚进来时多多少。这是个问题)”可知，人们看完电影后，对拿破仑的了解没有增加多少，即人们不能通过这部电影更好地了解拿破仑，故选C。 6．主旨大意题。根据第五段“Having said that, the wonderful war scenes in “Napoleon” may be enough to prove its existence for fans of historical war films. Whether its bloodied bodies breaking through ice or waves of soldiers rushing into battle, “Napoleon” has some fantastic battle scenes.(话虽如此，《拿破仑》中精彩的战争场面可能足以证明它的存在，对于历史战争片的粉丝来说。无论是破冰的血淋淋的尸体，还是冲进战场的士兵，《拿破仑》都有一些奇妙的战斗场景)”可知，第五段主要讲的是《拿破仑》中成功的战斗场面。故选A。 7．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Ridley Scott’s famous war film “Napoleon (拿破仑)” is a series of successful battles looking for a better movie to connect them.(Ridley Scott的著名战争片《拿破仑》讲述了一系列成功的战役，寻找一部更好的电影来连接它们)”可知，本文主要介绍的是《拿破仑》这部电影所存在的一些问题，因此这篇文章是影评，即a film review。故选B。 8．D 9．C 10．B 11．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是龙抬头的一些习俗。 8．细节理解题。根据第一段“After the day, spring is coming and there will be more and more rain.(一天过后，春天来了，雨会越来越多。)”可知，龙抬头预示着春天的回归。故选D。 9．推理判断题。根据第二段“It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on the Dragon Heads-raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock you in the year.(人们认为在龙抬头日剪头发是吉祥的。在这一年运气和机会总是敲你的门。)”可知，人们在在龙抬头日剪头发是人们对好运和机会的渴望。故选C。 10．推理判断题。根据最后一段“These show people’s hope to be blessed (保佑) with favorable weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon.(这些表达了人们希望龙能保佑他们风和日丽、五谷丰登。)”可知，庆祝龙抬头的食物通常承载着人们最美好的祝愿。故选B。 11．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The Longtaitou Festivl, which means “dragon-raises head” in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar.(龙抬头节，中文意思是“龙抬头”，是中国的传统节日，在农历二月初二举行。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是中国的传统节日——龙抬头节，因此最好的题目是A选项“The Dragon Heads-raising Day.(龙抬头节。)”。故选A。 12．B 13．C 14．D 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述的是武术是否应该被列入学校的主要课程。 12．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Should martial arts be part of the school curriculum (课程)?(武术应该成为学校课程的一部分吗？)”可知，本文主要的话题是武术是否应该列入学校课程。故选B。 13．推理判断题。根据第三段“Martial arts provide not just a physical work out, but also a chance to develop self-defense skills while training both the body and mind to be disciplined and mindful. Studies have shown that there is a significant connection between practicing martial arts and self-esteem (自尊).(武术不仅提供了一种身体锻炼，而且还提供了一个发展自卫技能的机会，同时训练身体和心灵自律和警觉。研究表明，练习武术和自尊之间存在着重要的联系)”可知，把武术加入课程是因为它对身体和精神都有好处。故选C。 14．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“They believe it is a chicken and egg situation, where without compulsory (强制的) curriculum of martial arts, those who are good at it may never find themselves in a dojo (武术馆) to find out.(他们认为这是一个先有鸡还是先有蛋的情况，没有必修的武术课程，那些擅长武术的人可能永远不会在武术馆)”可知，chicken和egg是缺乏训练师，没有必修的武术课程。故选D。 15．推理判断题。根据第二段“But after new research that shows that obesity (肥胖) levels are still rising in the first world at a surprising rate, some are suggesting that martial arts may help fight obesity, and also help children become better adapted to the wider world in terms of self-defense and discipline (自律).(但一项新的研究表明，第一世界的肥胖水平仍在以惊人的速度上升，一些人认为，武术可能有助于对抗肥胖，也有助于孩子们在自卫和自律方面更好地适应更广阔的世界)”和最后一段“However, some have been keen to point out that yes, martial arts in every school would be great, but finding those who are trained and qualified (合格的) to teach martial arts could probably prove to be challenge.(然而，一些人敏锐地指出，是的，每个学校开武术课很棒，但是找到那些受过训练并有资格教授武术的人可能会被证明是一个挑战)”可知，本文只是客观陈述人们对武术是否该成为学校课程的不同观点，并没有表明自己的观点，所以作者对在课程中增加武术的态度是不清楚的。故选A。 江苏省宿迁市2023-2024学年高一上学期期末英语试卷 1．A 2．D 3．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种中国古代的夏装。 1．推理判断题。由文章Sha Gown部分中“The plain gown, “thin as a cicada (蝉) wing” and “light as smoke”, weighs 49 grams. Shaw as highly valued and luxurious (奢侈的) for common people.(这件素色长袍“薄如蝉翼”，“轻如烟”，重49克。对于普通人来说，纱是很受重视和奢侈的)”和Luo Robe部分“Well-suited for the southern regions of China, luo has larger holes in the fabric compared with sha, making it more lightweight and breathable. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, luo was mainly used for the upper class, and only officials of fifth rank or higher were permitted to wear clothes made of the material.(与沙相比，罗的面料孔更大，更轻便透气，非常适合中国南方地区。从汉代到唐宋，骆主要用于上层阶级，只有五级以上的官员才被允许穿这种材料制成的衣服)”可知，二者均重量轻且价格昂贵。故选A。 2．细节理解题。由文章Liang dang部分“A classic style of costume appeared during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Liang dang consists of front and back pieces, later called the vest. It was convenient for people who work outdoors for long periods.

(然而，麦克米伦采访的12位市民都有一个严重的未解决问题：孤独)”可知，解决极度的孤独可能是鲍灵格林2号的12名市民最关心的问题。故选C。 5．推理判断题。由文章第三段“McMillan and her team, who named their concept Oasis, encouraged Bowling Green 2’s landlord (房东) to let the group use the common room and to change an unused space into a coffee lounge for members. n 2010, with funding (资金) from the government, they hired fulltime workers to run the program, including group exercise classes and activities like art lessons and Wii bowling. Meanwhile, Oasis partnered with St. Lawrence College, whose culinary (烹饪的) students created healthy meals for a small fee. Within the first year, the program almost doubled in size. (McMillan和她的团队将他们的概念命名为Oasis，他们鼓励鲍灵格林2号的房东让他们使用公共休息室，并将一个未使用的空间改为成员的咖啡休息室。2010年，在政府的资助下，他们雇佣了全职员工来管理这个项目，包括团体锻炼课程以及艺术课和Wii保龄球等活动。与此同时，Oasis与St. Lawrence College合作，后者的烹饪专业学生制作健康膳食，收取少量费用。在第一年，这个项目的规模几乎翻了一番)”可知， Oasis迅速扩大，它受到了老年人的热烈欢迎。故选A。 6．推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“Seventy-seven-year-old Elaine Watier, who moved into the building and joined Oasis in 2017, immediately benefited from the program, learning to play bridge and starting a craft group that makes projects for local charities and hospitals. “It’s given me a sense of worth,” she says. “And I’m never lonely.” (77岁的Elaine Watier于2017年搬进大楼并加入Oasis，她立即从这个项目中受益，学会了打桥牌，并成立了一个手工艺小组，为当地的慈善机构和医院制作项目。“这给了我一种价值感，”她说。“我从不孤独。”)”可推知，作者提到Elaine Watier是为了展示Oasis这个项目的好处。故选D。 7．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段中“In 2018, Oasis attracted the attention of researchers at Queen’s University. “I saw this as an perfect program to support older adults at home,” explains Catherine Donnelly, director of the school’s Health Services and Policy Research Institute, reporting the program had led to fewer falls, less inactivity, better nutrition and an increased sense of community. (2018年，绿洲吸引了女王大学研究人员的注意。学校健康服务和政策研究所所长Catherine Donnelly解释说：“我认为这是一个完美的项目，可以帮助家里的老年人。”她说，这个项目减少了跌倒的次数，减少了不活动的情况，改善了营养状况，增强了社区意识)”可知，文章主要介绍了帮助老年人的项目——Oasis的具体情况，例如原因、发起者、意义等等。由此可知，选项C“Oasis: The Home of Senior Citizens (Oasis：老年人的家园)”适合作文章标题。故选C。 8．C 9．D 10．C 11．A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了《Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No》这本可以增强读者决策力的书。 8．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions. (书中强调的另一条规则是决策的简单性。通过采用简化，决策者获取关键信息，关注最相关的因素，避免不必要的方面，从而更快地判断和更快地得出结论。)”可知，这本书建议读者专注于相关的事情。故选C。 9．推理判断题。由文章第三段“The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills.  The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively.  From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process. (这本书是提高决策能力的实用指南。作者不仅表达了哲学，还为读者提供了有效应用所需要的工具。从优先处理任务的技巧到避免分心的方法，这本书提供了简化决策过程的技巧。)”可知，这本书提供了使读者具备决策能力的有效工具，所以是读者的实用指南。故选D。 10．主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of  “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads. (通过个人经历，马伦确定了简化的力量，引导人们根据自己的价值观和欲望做出决定。除了个人背景，这本书也影响商业战略，关系动态，和社会的考虑。马伦不仅探讨了“是就是是”的本质，还强调了在十字路口做出明确决定的重要性。)”可知，本段主要陈述了强调清晰（简化）的好处。故选C。 11．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段““Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision. (《Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No》不仅仅是一本书；这是一种可以改变我们做决定方式的哲学。对于那些寻求用清晰和目标来引导生活的人来说，这本书是在迷茫中指引方向的明灯。)”可知，这篇文章的目的是推荐《Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No》这本书。故选A。 12．B 13．B 14．B 15．C 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了态度可以最大化锻炼的好处，并分析了肠道菌群或许会影响我们锻炼的动机。 12．词句猜测题。上文“Studies have shown how we understand our strength contributes to the extent to which our muscles might waste with disuse.(研究表明，我们如何理解我们的力量有助于我们的肌肉可能因不使用而逐渐变虚弱的程度。)”和下文“they found that only imagining having strong muscles reduced the loss in strength by 50 percent(他们发现，仅仅想象自己拥有强壮的肌肉，就能减少50%的力量损失)”可知，肌肉长时间不使用会变得虚弱；由此可知，实验时，这些成年人的手腕被固定不使用，因此推断画线词与B项“固定”意思一致，故选B。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Crum, a pioneer in this area, found in his study that having a different attitude can maximize(最大化) the benefits of all the occasional exercise we do each day, such as housework or walking around the shops.( Crum是这一领域的先驱，他在研究中发现，拥有不同的态度可以最大限度地发挥我们每天偶尔做的运动的好处，比如做家务或在商店里散步。)”可知，Crum的研究表明态度对所有偶然的锻炼都很重要。故选B。 14．推理判断题。根据第三段的“An even more unexpected fitness trick might come from our gut. It seems that having the right populations of gut bacteria(肠道菌群) makes you more likely to exercise.(一个更意想不到的健身技巧可能来自我们的肠道。似乎拥有适当数量的肠道细菌会让你更有可能锻炼。)”可知，本段讲述适当的肠道菌群让我们更有可能锻炼，接下来给出了一个例子“Last December, Christopher Thais sat the University of Pennsylvania and his colleagues found that differences in gut bacterial populations appeared to play a much greater role than genetics(遗传学) when it came to running performance in mice. They identified two particular bacteria as being especially important. When the mice were given these in supplements, it seemed to increase their desire to exercise.(去年12月，宾夕法尼亚大学(University of Pennsylvania)的克里斯托弗·泰斯(Christopher Thais)和他的同事发现，在小鼠的跑步表现方面，肠道细菌数量的差异似乎比遗传因素起着更大的作用。他们确定了两种特别重要的细菌。当老鼠服用这些补充剂时，似乎增加了它们运动的欲望。)”来进一步解释说明这种研究结果，因此推断这个例子的功能是为这个研究结果提供证据的。故选B。 15．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It remains to be seen whether this works effectively in humans. We still have much to learn about whether changing microbial populations can make us fitter, says Shrushti Shah at the University of Calgary in Canada. (这是否对人类有效还有待观察。加拿大卡尔加里大学的Shrushti Shah说，关于微生物种群的变化是否能使我们更健康，我们还有很多要了解)”可知，作者认为这种结果仍需要进一步观察，且指出Shrushti Shah说微生物种群的变化是否能使我们更健康我们还有很多要了解；因此推断对于这两种微生物种群的应用作者是谨慎的。故选C。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
