The dinner cost the equivalent of about $175, and Wong said it was worth the splurge. Just a few blocks away, at a restaurant operated by the same company, Tsutomu Matsubara, a Japanese educator in his 60s, was dining on a lesser grade of beef at a lower price. He said he would never go to the pricier restaurant. "That's for foreigners," Matsubara said. "It would be cheap for them because of the weak yen." Japan is becoming two nations: In a few enclaves, foreigners wielding dollars and euros live the high life, while in most of the country, locals who hold only the weak domestic currency make do with less. In April, Japan received more than three million visitors, nearly matching a monthly record set in March. The cheap yen is also good for exporters such as Toyota Motor, which just reported its most profitable year on record. Toyota is racking up sales of hybrid cars in the U.S., where people pay in dollars. Japanese stock prices are near a record high. Japan Research Institute economist Shinichi Nishioka said the yen's weakness was hurting workers' real wages because they have to pay more for imported goods. But he expressed optimism that the situation would be self-correcting. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.beef英 [biːf] 美 [biːf]n. _______________________________ 2.cut英 [kʌt] 美 [kʌt]n. _______________________________ 3.grill英 [ɡrɪl] 美 [ɡrɪl]v. _______________________________ 4.splurge英 [splɜːdʒ] 美 [splɜrːdʒ]n. _______________________________ 5.dine英 [daɪn] 美 [daɪn]v._______________________________ 6.enclave英 [ˈeŋkleɪv] 美 [ˈɑːŋkleɪv]n. _______________________________ 7.wield英 [wiːld] 美 [wiːld]v._______________________________ 8.self-correcting英 [ˌselfkəˈrektɪŋ] 美 [ˌselfkəˈrektɪŋ]adj. _______________________________ 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.___________________ 明火烤制的 2.___________________ 相当于，等同于 3.___________________ 在餐厅就餐 4.___________________ 等级较低的 5.___________________ 绝不会做某事 6.___________________ 过着奢华的生活 7.___________________ 过着精打细算的生活 8.___________________ 在资源有限的情况下将就着过 9.___________________ 将就，凑合 10.… ___________________ 有记录以来的最赚钱的一年 11.___________________ 有记录的，有据可查的 12.___________________ 快速、大量地累积…… 13./ 历史最高/最低 14.___________________ 实际工资 15.___________________ 进口货品 16.___________________ 表达乐观情绪 17.___________________ 表达乐观情绪 拓展练习阅读理解 Light is a vital part of life and without it plants would not grow or produce oxygen that people need to breathe. But light, it turns out, does so much more. Light therapy (治疗) appears to improve healing in the brains of people who suffered significant brain injuries, according to a study published in Radiology. This recent study is one of the more influential studies that have been done in the light therapy field. It was a double- blind study. Neither the participants nor the researchers were aware of who received the treatment and who received a placebo (安慰剂). Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) gathered 38 patients who had suffered moderate brain injuries. 17 of the patients received light therapy through a helm et (头盔) that gives off near- infrared light within 72 hours of their injury, while 21 of the patients wore the helmet without any light being given off. The researchers then used medical images to view the patients’ brain in its resting state. What they found is that the patients who received the treatment had more changes in their brain connectivity. The regions in their brains that showed more connectivity included ones related to sensory processing, cognitive function, and motor control. All of this seems like very good news. And yet, strangely enough, the researchers found that the light treatment had no long- term effect on the patients. “We were unable to detect differences in connectivity between the two treatment groups in the long term, so although the treatment appears to increase the brain connectivity initially, its long- term effects are still to be determined,” Dr. Nathaniel Mercardo, a statistician at MGH and a co- author of the study said in the news release. Still, as PsyPost point s out, even though the study is not 100 percent conclusive. in terms of the benefits of light therapy in the long term, it is a good start. More research obviously needs to be done to determine whether this potentially life- changing treatment can stand up well to closer inspection. 33．What do we know about the study? A．It explained the importance of light in life. B．All participants received the same treatment. C．It explored the potential of light therapy. D．The researchers were familiar with the participants. 34．Which of the following indicates the possible effect of the treatment? A．The advanced medical image technology. B．The increased connections within the brain. C．The rare sensory processing connectivity. D．The differences of participants’ nature. 35．Why does the author mention Dr. Nathaniel Mercardo’s statement? A．To confirm the reliability of the result. B．To comment the significance of the treatment. C．To highlight his contribution to the statistics analysis. D．To explain the long- term effect of the treatment is not fully known. 36．What is the author’s attitude towards the study? A．Skeptical. B．Objective. C．Critical. D．Subjective. 外刊精选答案 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.beef英 [biːf] 美 [biːf]n. 抱怨，不满；牛肉 2.cut英 [kʌt] 美 [kʌt]n. 切好的肉块 3.grill英 [ɡrɪl] 美 [ɡrɪl]v. 烤 4.splurge英 [splɜːdʒ] 美 [splɜrːdʒ]n. 花大钱 5.dine英 [daɪn] 美 [daɪn]v. 就餐 6.enclave英 [ˈeŋkleɪv] 美 [ˈɑːŋkleɪv]n. 飞地 7.wield英 [wiːld] 美 [wiːld]v. 持有，掌握；手持，挥舞 8.self-correcting英 [ˌselfkəˈrektɪŋ] 美 [ˌselfkəˈrektɪŋ]adj. 自动纠偏的，自行纠正的 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.flame-grilled 明火烤制的 2.the equivalent of相当于，等同于 3.dine in the restaurant 在餐厅就餐 4.a lesser grade of …等级较低的 5.would never do something绝不会做某事 6.live the high life过着奢华的生活 7.live a frugal life 过着精打细算的生活 8.make do with less在资源有限的情况下将就着过 9.make do 将就，凑合 10.… its most profitable year on record有记录以来的最赚钱的一年 11.on record 有记录的，有据可查的 12.rack up快速、大量地累积…… 13.record high/record low历史最高/最低 14.real wage实际工资 15.imported goods进口货品 16.express optimism表达乐观情绪 17.be positive/hopeful about something 表达乐观情绪 【全文翻译】 日本对疲软的日元感到不满：最好的和牛仅供游客享用 38岁的新加坡游客安德鲁·黄（Andrew Wong）最近在日本品尝了一份顶级神户牛肉，这顿牛肉由厨师在他的眼前为他现烤而成。这顿晚餐花费他大约175美元，黄先生说这笔“奢侈消费”花得很值。 就在几个街区外，由同一家公司经营的餐厅里，60多岁的日本教育工作者松原勉（Tsutomu Matsubara）也在享用牛肉，他吃的牛肉等级较低，价格也更便宜。他说自己永远不会去那种昂贵的餐厅用餐。“那是给外国人消费的”，松原说道，“因为日元贬值，这对他们来说很实惠。” 日本正在变成“两个国家”：在少数几个“飞地”区域，外国人挥舞着美元和欧元过着上流生活，而在日本的大部分地区，持有疲软本币的当地人却在勉强度日。 今年4月，日本接待了300多万游客，几乎追平了3月份创下的月度纪录。对于丰田汽车（Toyota Motor）等出口商来说，日元疲软也是有利的，丰田刚刚公布2023财年是公司有史以来最赚钱的一年。得益于美国人用美元支付，丰田在美国的混合动力汽车销量不断攀升。日本股市价格也接近历史最高点。 日本综合研究所（Japan Research Institute）的经济学家西冈信一（Shinichi Nishioka）表示，日元疲软正在损害工人的实际工资，因为他们不得不为进口商品支付更多的费用。但他乐观地认为，这种情况会自我纠正。 拓展练习阅读理解 33．C 34．B 35．D 36．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍一项关于探讨光疗对颅脑损伤的治疗作用的研究。 33．推理判断题。根据第一段中“ Light therapy (治疗) appears to improve healing in the brains of people who suffered significant brain injuries, according to a study published in Radiology.( 发表在《放射学》杂志上的一项研究表明，光疗似乎能促进脑损伤患者的大脑愈合。)”可知，一项研究表明，光疗法似乎有助于治疗严重颅脑损伤；同时根据第二段第一句“This recent study is one of the more influential studies that have been done in the light therapy field.( 这项最近的研究是在光疗领域进行的比较有影响力的研究之一。)”可知，这项研究是在光疗领域更具影响力的一项研究，由此可知，这项研究探索了光疗法的潜力。故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段“What they found is that the patients who received the treatment had more changes in their brain connectivity. The regions in their brains that showed more connectivity included ones related to sensory processing, cognitive function, and motor control.( 他们发现，接受治疗的患者大脑连通性发生了更多变化。他们大脑中显示出更多连通性的区域包括与感觉处理、认知功能和运动控制有关的区域。)”可知，接受光疗的患者大脑连接性发生了更多变化。他们大脑中显示出更多连接性的区域包括与感觉处理、认知功能和运动控制有关的区域。由此可知，大脑内连接的增加表明光疗法可能有效。故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据第五段中““We were unable to detect differences in connectivity between the two treatment groups in the long term, so although the treatment appears to increase the brain connectivity initially, its long- term effects are still to be determined,” Dr. Nathaniel Mercardo, a statistician at MGH and a co- author of the study said in the news release.(“我们在长期内无法检测到两个治疗组之间在连通性方面的差异，因此，尽管该治疗最初似乎会增加大脑连通性，但其长期效果仍有待确定，”MGH的统计学家兼该研究合著者Nathaniel Mercardo博士在新闻稿中说。)”可知，Nathaniel Mercardo博士认为，我们无法发现两个治疗组之间在长期连接性上的差异，因此尽管治疗最初似乎增加了大脑连接性，但其长期效果仍有待确定。由此可知，作者提到 Dr.Nathaniel Mercardo的陈述是为了解释光疗法的长期效果尚不明确。故选D。 36．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, as PsyPost point s out, even though the study is not 100 percent conclusive. in terms of the benefits of light therapy in the long term, it is a good start. More research obviously needs to be done to determine whether this potentially life- changing treatment can stand up well to closer inspection.( 不过，正如PsyPost指出的那样，尽管这项研究并不是百分之百的确定。就光疗的长期益处而言，这是一个良好的开端。显然，需要做更多的研究来确定这种可能改变生活的治疗方法是否经得起更仔细的检查。)”可知，作者认为正如 PsyPost 指出的那样，尽管这项研究并不能百分之百地确定光疗法的长期益处，但这是一个良好的开端。这种方法是否有效还需要更进一步检验，由此可知，作者既论述了该研究的优点也提及了该研究的缺点，因此对于这项新研究的态度是客观的。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
