2024年英语全国I和II卷真题二次开发——阅读理解B篇 ① “I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine – combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict.  C. He’s brave.  D. He’s rude. 25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. 作答区域________________________ 词汇整理 1. shortly ___________________________ 2. ahead of one’s time___________________________ 3. defensive ___________________________ 4. occasionally ___________________________ 5. have the last laugh ___________________________ 6. certain ___________________________ 7. practice ___________________________ 8. holistic medicine ___________________________ 9. herbal medicine ___________________________ 10. graduate ___________________________ 11. start out as ___________________________ 12. conventional ___________________________ 13. alternative ______________ an alternative treatment _____________________ 14. relief ___________________________ 15. condition _____________________a heart condition _________________________ 16. ease ___________________________ 17. suffering ___________________________ 18. approach ___________________________ 19. indication ___________________________ 20. membership ___________________________ 21. advocate ___________________________ ② Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 24. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs.  D. To reduce its running costs. 25. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 26. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest.  B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 27. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down.  B. Its profits will decline. C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase. 作答区域________________________ 词汇整理 1. realize ______________________ 2. go old school ______________________ 3. chief  ______________________ 4. length ______________________ 5. receipt-like  ______________________ 6. program ______________________ 7. launch  ______________________ 8. classic ______________________ 9. original  ______________________ 10. do a call to artists ______________________ 11. submit  ______________________ submission  ______________________ 12. as of ______________________ 13. publish ______________________ 14. ridership  ______________________ 15. agency ______________________ 16. absolutely ______________________ 17. promote ______________________ 18. categorize ______________________ 19. profit ______________________ 20. decline ______________________ 长难句分析: “You enter the fare gates and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART. 分析：该句中that引导______________________从句，并在从句中作____________________，先行词是a kiosk；tells后是省略了that的______________________；the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit是Alicia Trost的______________________；known as BART是______________________。 参考答案： ①【答案】24.
