(2024全国Ⅰ卷)“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. ”
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.

Ⅵ 完形填空
(2023上·山东滨州·高三统考期末)It’s hard to put into words how much of a sense of freedom I get from being outdoors and in the wilderness. If I’m 1 by buildings for too long, I get a bit anxious. I need to see a field, a river or a mountain 2 in front of me.
Spending time outdoors is a wonderful 3 , I like nothing more than getting to the end of a day spent outdoors and 4 the ache in my legs from a long walk. It helps me sleep and is far more 5 than training in a gym.
There are so many 6 walks to choose from all over the UK. We live on a tiny island, relatively speaking, but the scenery we have here easily 7 some of the most beautiful in the world. We are extremely 8 : on our doorstep we have beaches, rivers, hills and mountains.
Thanks to the light and the weather, the same walk can feel very different 9 the time of year you do it. But for breathtaking views whatever the 10 is, I’d recommend Cow and Calf Rocks on Ilk-ley Moor in West Yorkshire. It’s quite a challenge climbing them, which is why doing so feels more daring than a normal walk and offers 11 that you don’t get from following a gentle path. It’s perfect if you want a workout as well as fresh air and gives you the chance to get up high and 12 a view that changes all year round.
Otley Chevin in West Yorkshire is another 13 climb that offers beautiful views. And like Cow and Calf Rocks, it is within easy 14 of the nearby town. But being Cambrian, my heart will always belong to the Lake District. I grew up walking those fells in all weathers and seasons, and I think there is nothing more 15 than a big hill walk that gets your lungs burning and brings you to a view you’ve never seen before.
1.A.crowded B.surrounded C.impressed D.involved
2.A.disappearing B.revealing C.emerging D.floating
3.A.experience B.expectation C.arrangement D.ambition
4.A.doubting B.curing C.feeling D.removing
5.A.harmful B.beneficial C.graceful D.pitiful
6.A.powerful B.grateful C.confusing D.amazing
7.A.rivals B.highlights C.escapes D.explores
8.A.lucky B.tense C.certain D.tough
9.A.picking up B.depending on C.contrasting with D.getting over
10.A.season B.custom C.emotion D.response
11.A.curiosity B.excitement C.encouragement D.indication
12.A.put on B.give off C.take in D.set up
13.A.challenging B.exhausting C.moving D.annoying

【译文】
“我没有疯,”威廉·法伯医生在给一只兔子做了针灸(针灸)后不久说。“我走在了我的时代的前面。”如果他看起来有点自卫,那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔也会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。但法伯确信他会笑到最后。他是为数不多但越来越多的美国兽医(兽医)之一,现在从事“整体”医学——将传统的西方疗法与针灸、脊椎指压疗法(按摩疗法)和草药相结合。
法伯毕业于科罗拉多州立大学,一开始是一名更传统的兽医。20年前,当他严重背痛时,他开始对替代疗法产生了兴趣。他尝试了一些可以放松肌肉的药物,但几乎没有得到什么缓解。然后他尝试了针灸,一种中国古老的疗法,他惊讶于两三次治疗后病情有所进步。对兽医有效的东西似乎很可能对他的病人有效。所以,在学习了几年的这些技术之后,他开始把它们提供给宠物。
利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷达尔说,在查理心脏病发作后,她准备让它睡觉,但法伯的治疗减轻了她的狗的痛苦,她能够让它又活了5个月。普里西拉·德因报告说,她的马尿布在经过脊椎按摩调整后,“移动更容易,骑起来也更舒适”。
法伯确信,随着时间的推移,美国整体兽医协会的会员人数会变得更受欢迎,如果过去有任何迹象的话,他可能是对的:自1982年以来,美国整体兽医协会的会员人数从30人增加到700多人。他说:“有时候,我很惊讶。”“我愿意做任何事来帮助一只动物。这是我的工作。”
4.法伯的一些同事是怎么看他的?
A.他很奇怪。 B.他很严格。 C.他很勇敢。 D.他很粗鲁。
5.为什么法伯决定尝试针灸治疗宠物?
A.他在大学里接受了相关的训练。 B.他受到了另一名兽医的启发。
C.作为一个病人,他从中受益。 D.他想为宠物主人攒钱。
6.第3段主要谈论什么?
A.脊椎按摩治疗的步骤。 B.兽医工作的复杂性。
C.罕见的动物疾病的例子。 D.整体医学的有效性。
7.为什么作者提到了美国整体兽医医学协会?
A.来证明法伯的观点。 B.强调它的重要性。
C.赞美兽医。 D.提倡动物保护。
【说明】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后,将综合医疗应用于动物,并取得了初步成效。本文节选自 Heroes of the Environment: True Stories of People Who Help Protect Our Planet (NRDC)一书,作者是 Harriet Rohmer.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
4题:细节理解题。根据第一段的第一句话“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. (如果他看起来有点自卫,那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知,Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法,他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。
5题:细节理解题。根据第二段的“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. (然后,他尝试了针灸,这是一种古老的中国疗法,并惊讶地发现,经过两三次治疗,他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此,在研究了这些技术几年后,他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知,Farber作为患者从针灸中受益,这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。
6题:主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“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. (利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说,查理心脏病发作后,她准备让他进入睡眠状态,但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦,她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说,她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后,“行动更容易,乘车更舒服”。) ”可知,本段主要讲述了两个例子,一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie,另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。
7题:推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“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. ( 法伯确信,随着时间的推移,综合疗法会越来越受欢迎,如果过去有任何迹象的话,他可能是对的:自1982年以来,美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知,法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎,随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子,因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。

1. 本文主题是介绍成为好的演讲者要掌握的一些原则。上句提到有些人生来就有演讲的天赋。G项:然而,大多数人之所以能成为有影响的演讲者,是因为他们受过训练。与上句转折,引出本文主题--演讲者要训练。故选G。
2. 下句Focus on the speaking.是本段主题,建议演讲者把注意力集中在演讲上。上句提到一种常见现象,当站起来发表演讲时,演讲者往往会把注意力放在”公众”上,而不是”演讲”上。这是错误的做法,A项Do the opposite.承上启下,说明了上句做法的错误,引出了下句正确的做法。故选A。
3. 本段提到即使成功的演讲者也会犯错误,观众不会太在意你的错误。上句建议当出错时不要停止演讲,除非是非常严重的错误。C项:你不需要为一个小失误道歉。与上句承接,是对待演讲出错的方法。故选C。
4. 本段是说明练习的重要性。上句提到你的目标不是成为一个完美的演说家,下句应该说明目标是什么。B. You want to be an effective public speaker.与上句衔接,是我们演讲的真正目的。故选B。
5. 下文提到观众并不是认为演讲越长越好,根据 Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.可知,作者建议让演讲比预期的短一点,给观众更多的期待胜过让他们坐立不安地等待演讲结束。D项:公开演讲时,通常少就是多。说明了演讲时,多和少的辩证关系。故选D。
Ⅵ 完形填空
(2023上·山东滨州·高三统考期末)It’s hard to put into words how much of a sense of freedom I get from being outdoors and in the wilderness. If I’m 1 by buildings for too long, I get a bit anxious. I need to see a field, a river or a mountain 2 in front of me.
Spending time outdoors is a wonderful 3 , I like nothing more than getting to the end of a day spent outdoors and 4 the ache in my legs from a long walk. It helps me sleep and is far more 5 than training in a gym.
There are so many 6 walks to choose from all over the UK. We live on a tiny island, relatively speaking, but the scenery we have here easily 7 some of the most beautiful in the world. We are extremely 8 : on our doorstep we have beaches, rivers, hills and mountains.
Thanks to the light and the weather, the same walk can feel very different 9 the time of year you do it. But for breathtaking views whatever the 10 is, I’d recommend Cow and Calf Rocks on Ilk-ley Moor in West Yorkshire. It’s quite a challenge climbing them, which is why doing so feels more daring than a normal walk and offers 11 that you don’t get from following a gentle path. It’s perfect if you want a workout as well as fresh air and gives you the chance to get up high and 12 a view that changes all year round.
Otley Chevin in West Yorkshire is another 13 climb that offers beautiful views. And like Cow and Calf Rocks, it is within easy 14 of the nearby town. But being Cambrian, my heart will always belong to the Lake District. I grew up walking those fells in all weathers and seasons, and I think there is nothing more 15 than a big hill walk that gets your lungs burning and brings you to a view you’ve never seen before.
