As the first woman to attempt retracing the route, Vienna hopes to build a bridge of friendship among people from different countries through her efforts. Vienna’s fascination with China began over two decades ago when a Chinese student stayed in her home, sparkling her interest in the country’s rich cultural herıtage. Moreover, she has been a fan of Italian traveler Marco Polo since childhood and the description of the ancient Silk Road in the book, The Travels of Marco Polo, particularly impressed her. In 2018, the thought of following the footsteps of Marco Polo inspired her to map out a journey covering 22,000 kilometers from Venice to Beijing, passing through 15 countries in three to four years. At first, her children thought it was unrealistic to complete such a long journey in her seventies. However, as they observed the detailed planning, they fully supported her. With a simple backpack and two hiking poles, she has covered over 20,000 km and passed through dozens of countries. “The journey is more than just a personal challenge,” Vienna said in a recent interview. “It is a mission to witness firsthand the impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and to share the experiences with the world,” she added. “I have seen the bridges, highways, and railways built under the BRI, which connect countries in a way that echoes the Silk Road’s historic role in facilitating trade and cultural exchange.” Describing herself as an ambassador of cultural exchange and modern-day Marco Polo, Vienna noted that “I want people to know about Marco Polo and the Silk Road, but I also want to send a message to women of my age — it’s never too late to pursue your dreams.” 4. Why did Vienna undertake the journey? A. To set the longest hiking record. B. To do history research on China. C. To advocate environment protection. D. To promote cross-cultural communication. 5. What motivated Vienna to plan a journey from Venice to Beijing? A. Her lifelong fascination with China. B. Her children’s enthusiasm for travel. C. A Chinese student’s constant support. D. The idea of retracing the ancient Silk Road. 6. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The influence of BRI. B. Her unusual encounters. C. Her detailed preparations. D. The distance of the journey. 7. Why did Vienna say that in the last paragraph? A. To inspire the old. B. To praise Marco Polo. C. To highlight her status. D. To popularize her journey. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了受马可·波罗启发，意大利人女性Vienna从威尼斯出发重走古丝绸之路的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As the first woman to attempt retracing the route, Vienna hopes to build a bridge of friendship among people from different countries through her efforts. (作为第一个尝试重走这条路线的女性，Vienna希望通过自己的努力，在不同国家的人民之间架起一座友谊的桥梁)”可知，Vienna进行这次旅行是想帮助不同国家的人建立友谊，即促进跨文化交流。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2018, the thought of following the footsteps of Marco Polo inspired her to map out a journey covering 22,000 kilometers from Venice to Beijing, passing through 15 countries in three to four years. (2018年，追随马可·波罗足迹的想法激发了她的灵感，她计划在三到四年的时间里，从威尼斯到北京，途经15个国家，全程2.2万公里)”可知，Vienna之所以计划从威尼斯到北京的旅行，是因为想要重温古代丝绸之路。故选D项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中Vienna所说的话“The journey is more than just a personal challenge. (这段旅程不仅仅是个人的挑战)”、“It is a mission to witness firsthand the impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and to share the experiences with the world (见证中国“一带一路”倡议的影响，与世界分享这份经验，是一种使命)”和“I have seen the bridges, highways, and railways built under the BRI, which connect countries in a way that echoes the Silk Road’s historic role in facilitating trade and cultural exchange. (“我看到了在‘一带一路’倡议下修建的桥梁、公路和铁路，它们以一种与丝绸之路在促进贸易和文化交流方面的历史作用相呼应的方式将各国连接起来)”可知，本段主要从Vienna的角度讲述了“一带一路”倡议带来的巨大影响。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Vienna所说的话“I want people to know about Marco Polo and the Silk Road, but I also want to send a message to women of my age — it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. (我想让人们了解马可·波罗和丝绸之路，但我也想向我这个年龄的女性传递一个信息——追求梦想永远不会太晚)”可知，Vienna想告诉与自己同龄的老年女性要敢于追求梦想。由此可知，她说的话是为了激励老年人。故选A项。 C Do women make better doctors than men? In data from a host of different countries, patients seen by female doctors seem to do better than those seen by male ones. The reasons, however, remain uncertain. One of the first studies to examine the issue was published in 2017 by Yusuke Tsugawa of Harvard Medical School, and colleagues based in Boston. The authors analysed the medical records of around 1.5m older adults who had been hospitalised in America between 2011 and 2014. They found that patients whose primary treatment had been performed by a female doctor were roughly 4% less likely to die, and 4% less likely to be re-admitted to hospital in the following 30 days, than those whose primary doctor was a man. Later in 2017 another study found similar trends. One drawback with the studies is that they all look back at naturally occurring data rather than randomised-controlled experiments. “This could hide any underlying factors which might be really driving the effect,” says Gavin Stewart, an expert at Newcastle University. “It could be, for example, that female doctors tend to be assigned healthier patients than their male colleagues.” To control such effects, studies by Dr Christopher Wallis, an expert in this field, try to account for the impact of different hospitals and procedures in their analysis. However the data are sliced, female doctors seem to do better. Dr Christopher Wallis says, “I think it’s a series of behaviors that are linked with gender (性别).” Past research has found that female doctors tend to spend more time with patients, are more likely to provide preventive care and tend to stick more closely to clinical guidelines than their male colleagues do. Female patients also report better communication and stronger relationship with female doctors. Whatever the gender of their physician, though, female patients seem to respond better to medical care than male patients do. Understanding why such differences will help all doctors improve their practice. For all the good that cutting-edge medical equipment and new drugs can do, a physician’s judgment during medical care seems to be as important as ever. 8. What medical records does Yusuke’s study probably focus on? A. The duration of treatment. B. Hospital staff’s performance. C. Medical system’s evaluations. D. Patients’ post-operation condition. 9. What’s the limitation of previous studies? A. Limited figures. B. Poor equipment. C. General analysis. D. Healthier patients. 10. Why do female doctors do better according to Christopher Wallis’ study? A. They are more devoted to medical care. B. They conduct more clinical experiments. C. They are more skilful in communication. D. They have more operational experiences. 11. What will contribute to doctors’ better practice probably? A High quality drugs. B. Advanced technology. C. Doctor-patient interaction. D. Detailed medical guidelines. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了女性医生在医疗效果上优于男性医生的原因——女性医生更专注于医疗护理，能够提供更加细致的临床指导。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The authors analysed the medical records of around 1.5m older adults who had been hospitalised in America between 2011 and 2014. They found that patients whose primary treatment had been performed by a female doctor were roughly 4% less likely to die, and 4% less likely to be re-admitted to hospital in the following 30 days, than those whose primary doctor was a man. (作者分析了2011年至2014年间在美国住院的约150万老年人的医疗记录。他们发现，与主要由男性医生进行治疗的患者相比，主要由女性医生进行治疗的患者的死亡率约低4%，在接下来的30天内再次入院的可能性低4%)”可知，Yusuke研究了这些患者的医疗记录，其发现与患者的死亡率、一个月内再次入院的可能性相关。由此可知，这项研究关注的是医疗记录中患者的术后情况。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“One drawback with the studies is that they all look back at naturally occurring data rather than randomised-controlled experiments. (这些研究的一个缺点是，它们都是回顾自然发生的数据，而不是随机对照实验)”可知，以往研究的方法存在问题，仅关注自然发生的数据，未进行严格的实验控制。因此，其缺陷在于只做了一般性的分析。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Past research has found that female doctors tend to spend more time with patients, are more likely to provide preventive care and tend to stick more closely to clinical guidelines than their male colleagues do. (过去的研究发现，女医生往往花更多的时间与病人在一起，更有可能提供预防性护理，而且往往比男同事更严格地遵守临床指导方针)”可知，Christopher Wallis的研究发现，女医生做得更好是因为她们更专注于医疗护理。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For all the good that cutting-edge medical equipment and new drugs can do, a physician’s judgment during medical care seems to be as important as ever. (尽管尖端的医疗设备和新药能带来很多好处，但医生在医疗过程中的判断似乎和以往一样重要)”可推知，医患之间的交流可能有助于医生更好地执业。故选C项。 D The sensation of anxiety is universal, but the human body’s consistent response to anxiety actually masks two different kinds. The first — growth anxiety — occurs in response to challenges that are uncomfortable but manageable. The second — toxic anxiety— arises from situations that go beyond one’s ability to deal with. Growth and toxic anxiety have markedly different effects on our brain and body. Over the past decade, anxiety has developed a reputation for ruining health. And many people try to escape it through medication. In general, however, one’s performance under pressure follows an inverted-U turn: As stress goes up, performance rises to a peak, then drops off. Growth anxiety can promote health and flexibility, much in the way that physical exercise can make us fitter. That’s likely because acute anxiety causes an increase in two hormones (荷尔蒙): cortisol and norepinephrine. Cortisol stimulates the body to be more energetic. Meanwhile, norepinephrine makes you more focused. Short-term stress can be beneficial as a little amount of cortisol can strengthen your brain function of memory and learning. By contrast, long-lasting stress leads to rising hormones level, increasing one’s chances of developing health problems while damaging brain functions. Stress in response to an ongoing threat is one form of toxic anxiety; another occurs in people with social- anxiety disorder or generalized-anxiety disorder. Those with such over-sensitive threat detection probably had a leg up in a prehistoric world full of threats, but in a modern one, such stress is usually poorly adapted — except in the rare cases when modern life presents true threats, which many people under-react to. For most people, however, turning toxic anxiety into growth anxiety is within your power. Each of us has a different sensitivity to stress. The same challenge, such as giving a public presentation, could be terrifying for one person and exciting for another. But no matter your stress tolerance, even small interventions — like getting sufficient sleep and exercise — can help prevent you from sliding down the inverted-U turn. We shouldn’t fear growth anxiety any more than we do the soreness that comes with a healthy workout. Both can be uncomfortable but make us stronger in the long run. 12. What makes growth anxiety different from toxic anxiety? A. Its sensory stimulation. B. Its higher level of hormones. C. Its positive influences on health. D. Its occurrence in challenging situations. 13. How is toxic anxiety? A. Momentary and adaptable. B. Continuous and destructive. C. Comfortable and controllable. D. Changeable and unpredictable. 14. What does the underlined expression “had a leg up” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Developed a skill. B. Had an advantage. C. Took an active part. D. Contributed to a cause. 15. What’s author’s suggestion on keeping performing well? A. Set aside some time to relax. B. Avoid taking demanding tasks. C. Shoulder more responsibilities. D. Improve stress tolerance ability. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了两种不同类型焦虑——成长焦虑和有害焦虑，以及它们对健康和表现的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Growth and toxic anxiety have markedly different effects on our brain and body.(成长焦虑和有害焦虑对我们的大脑和身体有明显不同的影响)”、第三段中“Growth anxiety can promote health and flexibility, much in the way that physical exercise can make us fitter.(成长焦虑可以促进健康和灵活性，就像体育锻炼可以使我们更健康一样) ”和“By contrast, long-lasting stress leads to rising hormones level, increasing one’s chances of developing health problems while damaging brain functions.(相比之下，长期的压力会导致激素水平上升，增加患健康问题的机会，同时损害大脑功能)”可知，成长焦虑对健康有积极影响，而有害焦虑则可能导致健康问题。因此，使成长焦虑与有害焦虑不同的是它对健康的积极影响。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“By contrast, long-lasting stress leads to rising hormones level, increasing one’s chances of developing health problems while damaging brain functions.(相比之下，长期的压力会导致激素水平上升，增加患健康问题的机会，同时损害大脑功能)”和第四段中“Stress in response to an ongoing threat is one form of toxic anxiety (对持续威胁的应激反应是有害焦虑的一种形式)”可推知，有害焦虑是持续的，并且通常具有破坏性。故选B项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Those with such over-sensitive threat detection probably had a leg up in a prehistoric world full of threats, but in a modern one, such stress is usually poorly adapted (那些具有这种过度敏感的威胁检测能力的人在充满威胁的史前世界中可能had a leg up，但在现代世界中，这种压力通常很难适应)”中“but in a modern one, such stress is usually poorly adapted”可知，上下文有转折关系，下文说具有过度敏感的威胁检测能力的人很难适应现代世界，由此推知，在史前世界他们可能具有某种优势，上下文构成转折关系。had a leg up意为“有优势”，与Had an advantage同义。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But no matter your stress tolerance, even small interventions — like getting sufficient sleep and exercise — can help prevent you from sliding down the inverted-U turn.(但无论你的压力承受能力如何，即使是小的干预——比如充足的睡眠和锻炼——也可以帮助你避免在倒U形曲线上下滑)”可知，作者建议通过小的干预措施，如充足的睡眠和锻炼，来保持良好的表现。这些措施实际上是在建议人们留出一些时间来放松和恢复，以提高应对压力的能力。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题 2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If there’s one thing one absolutely never want to see in any restaurants, it’s a rat.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了餐厅防范老鼠的一些具体方法。 【16题详解】 前文“If there’s one thing one absolutely never want to see in any restaurants, it’s a rat. When present in food preparation areas, rats can easily create a health and safety disaster serious enough to close your restaurant down. (如果有一种东西是人们绝对不想在任何餐馆看到的，那就是老鼠。当老鼠出现在食物准备区域时，很容易造成健康和安全灾难，严重到足以关闭你的餐馆)”提到人们不想在餐馆见到老鼠，老鼠的出现会带来严重的后果，后文给出了具体的防范老鼠的方法，因此C项“So, how to keep your restaurant free from furry invaders? (那么，如何让你的餐厅远离毛茸茸的入侵者呢)”符合语境，提出餐厅防范老鼠的方法问题，承前启后，其中的your restaurant在前文有同词复现，furry invaders指代前文的rats。故选C。 【17题详解】 前文“Rats often come indoors looking for food. (老鼠经常到室内寻找食物)”提到老鼠出现在餐厅内的原因，后文“Inspect your kitchen every night before closing to ensure that there are no leftovers. All food items should be sealed in airtight containers and stored correctly. (每晚打烊前检查厨房，确保没有剩菜剩饭。所有食物应密封于密闭容器内，并妥善存放)”给出具体的处理和储存食物的方法，因此D项“An essential step is, therefore, proper food handling and storage. (因此，重要的一步是正确处理和储存食物)”符合语境，指出要正确处理和储存食物，和前文是因果关系，后文是对其具体说明。故选D。 【18题详解】 前文“One or two rats can be swiftly dealt with. (一两只老鼠可以很快处理)”提到少量老鼠不构成威胁，后文“They multiply quickly if not taken care of straight away. (如果不及时处理，它们会迅速繁殖)”提醒要防范老鼠快速繁殖，因此A项“However, rats can reproduce throughout the year. (然而，老鼠可以全年繁殖)”符合语境，提到老鼠全年繁殖，和前文构成转折，引出后文的提醒。故选A。 【19题详解】 前文“Food leftovers and out-of-date food make up the majority of waste produced by restaurant kitchens. The smell from an overflowing trash can bring every rat within a 5-mileradius (半径) to your door. (剩饭剩菜和过期食物构成了餐馆厨房产生的大部分垃圾。满溢的垃圾散发出来的气味会把方圆5英里内的老鼠都招来)”指出餐厅产生的垃圾会招来老鼠的问题，后文“For example, all food leftovers should be dealt with immediately and wrapped up securely, and trash cans should be emptied regularly throughout the course of the day. (例如，所有的剩饭剩菜都应该立即处理并安全包装，垃圾桶应该在一天中定期清空)”举例说明应如何处理这些垃圾，因此E项“Make a firm set of rules with regards to garbage and stick to them. (制定一套关于垃圾的严格规则，并坚持执行)”符合语境，建议要执行严格的垃圾处理规则，是应对前文问题的方法，后文是对其进行例证。故选E。 【20题详解】 后文“You can help to keep rats well away by keeping the outside of your establishment clear. This means disbranching any overgrown plants, and clearing away any storing garbage at least 20 feet away from the building. (你可以通过保持房子外面的整洁来帮助赶走老鼠。这意味着要清除任何杂草丛生的植物，并清理离建筑物至少20英尺远的任何储存垃圾)”主要建议清除屋外混乱的植物和储存垃圾，以保持整洁，因此F项“Thick plants and boxes left out back can encourage rats to nest nearby. (茂密的植物和放置在屋后的盒子会促使老鼠在附近造窝)”符合语境，指出屋外的植物和盒子容易招引老鼠，引出后文的建议。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was a warm summer afternoon at the Jersey shore.

While selling his childhood home in Reading, Pennsylvania, in 2011, just before his mother’s passing, Gary searched high and low for the rings. He didn’t find them. Despite his best efforts, the search yielded no results, and he felt a deep sense of loss. He figured his mother, who had Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症), had thrown them out. He was extremely upset, but didn’t know what else to do besides move on. A decade passed and the rings never turned up. Then, last September, Gary got a Facebook message from Hannah, who had bought his mother’s house back in 2011. Her husband, Josh, had discovered a jewelry box with two rings inside a kitchen light fixture. Hannah and Josh suspected they held emotional value for someone, and they thought the rings should and must be returned. Gary’s patents exchanged the rings when they got married in 1947. They moved into their two-bedroom house in the early 1950s. They raised Gary, their only child, while his father worked as a mechanic and his mother as a stay- at home parent. In 1978, when Gary was 15, his father died of a heart attack. His mother started a 20-year career in the patient transport and supply department of the hospital that had employed her husband as a maintenance mechanic at the time of his death. She retired in 1998 as her Alzheimer’s progressed, and sometime before 2011, she hid the wedding rings inside the kitchen light. Hannah knew little of that history. But years earlier, out of curiosity, she had searched the name on the home’s bill of sale, which led to Gary’s mother’s obituary (认告). 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Last September, she found it again, and located Gary on Facebook. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few weeks later, the three were chatting at Gary’s home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Last September, she found it again, and located Gary on Facebook. Hannah was browsing through old posts when she stumbled upon an advertisement Gary had made years ago, desperately seeking his parents’ lost wedding rings. She immediately sent him a message, explaining that they had found the missing rings tucked away behind a light fixture in the kitchen. Gary, who had long given up hope of ever seeing the rings again, was left in shock upon receiving Hannah’s message. Gary was ready to drive 40 miles from his home to Reading. However, Hannah and Josh offered to bring the rings to him. A few weeks later, the three were chatting at Gary’s home. The pair carefully presented the rings — which appeared to have classic gold bands. Gary examined the rings closely, recognizing the unique design and family symbol that could only belong to his parents. Overwhelmed with emotion, he was at a loss for words, his heart swelling with gratitude for the kindness and thoughtfulness of the pair. With tears in his eyes, Gary extended his heartfelt thanks, knowing that the return of these precious symbols of his parents’ love had not only mended a piece of his family’s history but also rekindled the warmth of their enduring bond. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Gary及其父母的结婚戒指为线索展开，讲述了Gary在2011年出售童年住宅时未能找到父母珍贵的结婚戒指，怀疑被患有老年痴呆的母亲遗失。十年后，意外地从购买该房屋的Hannah处得知戒指被其丈夫Josh在厨房灯具中发现。戒指承载着Gary父母深厚的情感与历史，他们于1947年交换戒指，并在之后的岁月里共同经历了家庭的变迁。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“去年9月，她再次找到了它，并在Facebook上找到了Gary。”可知，第一段可描写Hannah找到Gary的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周后，三个人在Gary家聊天。”可知，第二段可描写最终Gary得到了父母的结婚戒指，以及对Hannah夫妇的感激。 2. 续写线索：发现广告——联系Gary——感到震惊——送戒指——得到戒指——感激。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：find/discover ②提供：offer/provide ③展示：present/display 情绪类 ①震惊：shock/surprise ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1]Hannah was browsing through old posts when she stumbled upon an advertisement Gary had made years ago, desperately seeking his parents’ lost wedding rings.(when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Gary examined the rings closely, recognizing the unique design and family symbol that could only belong to his parents.(that引导的定语从句) 1~5 BCAAC 6~10 BACBA 11~15 CBCBC 16~20 BAABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 三湘名校教育联盟·2025 届高三第一次大联考 英 语 本试卷共8页。全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在本试卷和答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应的答案标号涂黑，如有改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案;回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例： How much is the shirt?

B Inspired by Marco Polo, who traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road more than 700 years ago, Italian traveler Vienna set off from the explorer’s hometown Venice. As the first woman to attempt retracing the route, Vienna hopes to build a bridge of friendship among people from different countries through her efforts. Vienna’s fascination with China began over two decades ago when a Chinese student stayed in her home, sparkling her interest in the country’s rich cultural herıtage. Moreover, she has been a fan of Italian traveler Marco Polo since childhood and the description of the ancient Silk Road in the book, The Travels of Marco Polo, particularly impressed her. In 2018, the thought of following the footsteps of Marco Polo inspired her to map out a journey covering 22,000 kilometers from Venice to Beijing, passing through 15 countries in three to four years. At first, her children thought it was unrealistic to complete such a long journey in her seventies. However, as they observed the detailed planning, they fully supported her. With a simple backpack and two hiking poles, she has covered over 20,000 km and passed through dozens of countries. “The journey is more than just a personal challenge,” Vienna said in a recent interview. “It is a mission to witness firsthand the impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and to share the experiences with the world,” she added. “I have seen the bridges, highways, and railways built under the BRI, which connect countries in a way that echoes the Silk Road’s historic role in facilitating trade and cultural exchange.” Describing herself as an ambassador of cultural exchange and modern-day Marco Polo, Vienna noted that “I want people to know about Marco Polo and the Silk Road, but I also want to send a message to women of my age — it’s never too late to pursue your dreams.” 4. Why did Vienna undertake the journey? A. To set the longest hiking record. B. To do history research on China. C. To advocate environment protection. D. To promote cross-cultural communication. 5. What motivated Vienna to plan a journey from Venice to Beijing? A. Her lifelong fascination with China. B. Her children’s enthusiasm for travel. C. A Chinese student’s constant support. D. The idea of retracing the ancient Silk Road. 6. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The influence of BRI. B. Her unusual encounters. C. Her detailed preparations. D. The distance of the journey. 7. Why did Vienna say that in the last paragraph? A. To inspire the old. B. To praise Marco Polo. C. To highlight her status. D. To popularize her journey. C Do women make better doctors than men? In data from a host of different countries, patients seen by female doctors seem to do better than those seen by male ones. The reasons, however, remain uncertain. One of the first studies to examine the issue was published in 2017 by Yusuke Tsugawa of Harvard Medical School, and colleagues based in Boston. The authors analysed the medical records of around 1.5m older adults who had been hospitalised in America between 2011 and 2014. They found that patients whose primary treatment had been performed by a female doctor were roughly 4% less likely to die, and 4% less likely to be re-admitted to hospital in the following 30 days, than those whose primary doctor was a man. Later in 2017 another study found similar trends. One drawback with the studies is that they all look back at naturally occurring data rather than randomised-controlled experiments. “This could hide any underlying factors which might be really driving the effect,” says Gavin Stewart, an expert at Newcastle University. “It could be, for example, that female doctors tend to be assigned healthier patients than their male colleagues.” To control such effects, studies by Dr Christopher Wallis, an expert in this field, try to account for the impact of different hospitals and procedures in their analysis. However the data are sliced, female doctors seem to do better. Dr Christopher Wallis says, “I think it’s a series of behaviors that are linked with gender (性别).” Past research has found that female doctors tend to spend more time with patients, are more likely to provide preventive care and tend to stick more closely to clinical guidelines than their male colleagues do. Female patients also report better communication and stronger relationship with female doctors. Whatever the gender of their physician, though, female patients seem to respond better to medical care than male patients do. Understanding why such differences will help all doctors improve their practice. For all the good that cutting-edge medical equipment and new drugs can do, a physician’s judgment during medical care seems to be as important as ever. 8. What medical records does Yusuke’s study probably focus on? A. The duration of treatment. B. Hospital staff’s performance. C. Medical system’s evaluations. D. Patients’ post-operation condition. 9. What’s the limitation of previous studies? A. Limited figures. B. Poor equipment. C. General analysis. D. Healthier patients. 10. Why do female doctors do better according to Christopher Wallis’ study? A. They are more devoted to medical care. B. They conduct more clinical experiments. C. They are more skilful in communication. D. They have more operational experiences. 11. What will contribute to doctors’ better practice probably? A. High quality drugs. B. Advanced technology. C. Doctor-patient interaction. D. Detailed medical guidelines. D The sensation of anxiety is universal, but the human body’s consistent response to anxiety actually masks two different kinds. The first — growth anxiety — occurs in response to challenges that are uncomfortable but manageable. The second — toxic anxiety— arises from situations that go beyond one’s ability to deal with. Growth and toxic anxiety have markedly different effects on our brain and body. Over the past decade, anxiety has developed a reputation for ruining health. And many people try to escape it through medication. In general, however, one’s performance under pressure follows an inverted-U turn: As stress goes up, performance rises to a peak, then drops off. Growth anxiety can promote health and flexibility, much in the way that physical exercise can make us fitter. That’s likely because acute anxiety causes an increase in two hormones (荷尔蒙): cortisol and norepinephrine. Cortisol stimulates the body to be more energetic. Meanwhile, norepinephrine makes you more focused. Short-term stress can be beneficial as a little amount of cortisol can strengthen your brain function of memory and learning. By contrast, long-lasting stress leads to rising hormones level, increasing one’s chances of developing health problems while damaging brain functions. Stress in response to an ongoing threat is one form of toxic anxiety; another occurs in people with social- anxiety disorder or generalized-anxiety disorder. Those with such over-sensitive threat detection probably had a leg up in a prehistoric world full of threats, but in a modern one, such stress is usually poorly adapted — except in the rare cases when modern life presents true threats, which many people under-react to. For most people, however, turning toxic anxiety into growth anxiety is within your power. Each of us has a different sensitivity to stress. The same challenge, such as giving a public presentation, could be terrifying for one person and exciting for another. But no matter your stress tolerance, even small interventions — like getting sufficient sleep and exercise — can help prevent you from sliding down the inverted-U turn.

While selling his childhood home in Reading, Pennsylvania, in 2011, just before his mother’s passing, Gary searched high and low for the rings. He didn’t find them. Despite his best efforts, the search yielded no results, and he felt a deep sense of loss. He figured his mother, who had Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症), had thrown them out. He was extremely upset, but didn’t know what else to do besides move on. A decade passed and the rings never turned up. Then, last September, Gary got a Facebook message from Hannah, who had bought his mother’s house back in 2011. Her husband, Josh, had discovered a jewelry box with two rings inside a kitchen light fixture. Hannah and Josh suspected they held emotional value for someone, and they thought the rings should and must be returned. Gary’s patents exchanged the rings when they got married in 1947. They moved into their two-bedroom house in the early 1950s. They raised Gary, their only child, while his father worked as a mechanic and his mother as a stay- at home parent. In 1978, when Gary was 15, his father died of a heart attack. His mother started a 20-year career in the patient transport and supply department of the hospital that had employed her husband as a maintenance mechanic at the time of his death. She retired in 1998 as her Alzheimer’s progressed, and sometime before 2011, she hid the wedding rings inside the kitchen light. Hannah knew little of that history. But years earlier, out of curiosity, she had searched the name on the home’s bill of sale, which led to Gary’s mother’s obituary (认告). 注意： 1.续写词数应150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Last September, she found it again, and located Gary on Facebook. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few weeks later, the three were chatting at Gary’s home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1~5 BCAAC 6~10 BACBA 11~15 CBCBC 16~20 BAABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
