My first shopping in a general store was in Miss Bee’s when I spent the summer with my grandmother in New York.
“Go get them yourself” Miss Bee said, ignoring the shopping list held up before her nose. “I’m not your servant, so just get yourself a basket from that pile over there and start filing.”
It took me three wall-to-wall searches before I found the first item on my list―a pork can be placed between boxes of cereal and bread. Next up was toilet paper, found under the daily newspaper, and Band-Ads, found next to the face cream. The store was a puzzle, but it held some surprises too. I found a new Superman comic behind the peanut butter.
I visited Miss Bee a couple of times a week that summer. Some times she short-charged me. Other times she overcharged or sold me an old newspaper instead of a current one. Going to the store was more like going into battle. I left my Grandma’s house armed with my list—memorized to the letter—and marched into Miss Bee’s like General Patton (巴顿将军) marching into North Africa.
All summer long she found ways to trip me up. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda (小苏打) and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelves and made me hunt for it all over again. By summer’s end, however, the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.
The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stopped into tell her that she was mean (刻薄的). To my amazement she laughed and said. “Well, I don’t care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. Think what you will, but when you get older you’ll be glad our paths crossed!”
I thought the idea was absurd until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles.
“It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?”
“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said.
Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way totally up (结算) my bill along with the cashier. As my daughter went back to her homework, I wondered: Had Miss Bee really taught me something all those years ago? I took out some scrap paper and started writing.
4. Why did the writer spend a long time doing her first shopping in the general store?
A. She was too young to remember all the items on the list.
B. Miss Bee didn’t treat her kindly.
C. Her grandmother asked her to buy too many things.
D. The store was in disorder and she was not familiar with the shop.
5. What did the writer mean when comparing herself to “General Patton” in Paragraph 4?
A. She was well prepared and full of confidence.
B. Going shopping in the store was a challenge to her.
C. She was very aggressive, taking Miss Bee as the enemy.
D. Going shopping was so fun that it was like playing a war game.
6. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 probably suggest?
A. The writer would benefit from the experience of shopping in Miss Bee’s.
B. The writer would find shopping in Miss Bee’s store very interesting.
C. The writer would be happy to meet Miss Bee again later in life.
D. The writer would realize that Miss Bee could become her friend.
7. At the end of the story, the writer might write down the following EXCEPT .
A. Don’t be so quick to judge other people
B. The best teacher isn’t only in school
C. Stick to your dream whatever happens
D. Things can be learned in daily routines
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小时候作者去商店买东西时,商店主人Miss Bee总是重新摆放货架上的东西,让作者出丑,作者认为她很刻薄,但是多年后作者意识到Miss Bee并不像她所想的那样,反而她在日常生活中教会了作者一些东西。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It took me three wall-to-wall searches before I found the first item on my list―a pork can be placed between boxes of cereal and bread. Next up was toilet paper, found under the daily newspaper, and Band-Ads, found next to the face cream. The store was a puzzle, but it held some surprises too. I found a new Superman comic behind the peanut butter. (我搜索了三个墙,我发现第一个物品在我的清单上——猪肉可以放在麦片和面包盒子之间。接下来是卫生纸,在日报下面找到的,还有邦迪广告,在面霜旁边找到的。商店是一个谜,但它也有一些惊喜。我在花生酱后面发现了一本新的超人漫画。)”可推知,这家商店杂乱无章,作者对这家商店不熟悉,这使得作者花了很长时间在杂货店里购物,故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Going to the store was more like going into battle. I left my Grandma’s house armed with my list—memorized to the letter—and marched into Miss Bee’s like General Patton (巴顿将军) marching into North Africa. (去商店更像是去打仗。我离开奶奶家的时候,手里拿着我的名单——一字不差地背下来——然后像巴顿将军(General Patton)进军北非一样,大步走进比小姐家。)”可知,作者将自己去商店买东西类比成General Patton进军北非打仗一样,由此可推知,去商店购物对于作者来说并不是件简单的事,即去商店购物对作者来说是个挑战。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句子前文“To my amazement she laughed and said. “Well, I don’t care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. (令我惊讶的是,她笑着说。“好吧,我不在乎!我们每个人来到这个世界上都是有原因的。我相信我的工作就是教会我遇到的每一个孩子十个人生课程以此来帮助他们。)”和划线句子“Think what you will, but when you get older you’ll be glad our paths crossed!” (随你怎么想,等你长大了,你会很高兴我们相遇了!”)”可知,Miss Bee认为,每个人来到世界都是有原因的,她的工作就是教会她遇到的每一个孩子十个人生课程,以此来帮助他们。由此可推知,Miss Bee说“随你怎么想,等你长大了,你会很高兴我们相遇了!”这句话是在表明作者将从她身上学到一些东西,即受益,故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“To my amazement she laughed and said. “Well, I don’t care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. Think what you will, but when you get older you’ll be glad our paths crossed!” (令我惊讶的是,她笑着说。“好吧,我不在乎!我们每个人来到这个世界上都是有原因的。我相信我的工作就是教会我遇到的每一个孩子十个人生课程以此来帮助他们。随你怎么想,等你长大了,你会很高兴我们相遇了!”)”和最后一段中“Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way totally up (结算) my bill along with the cashier. (突然,我又回想起了那家杂货店,在那里我学到了一条艰难的道路,那就是和收银员一起把账单全部结清。)”可知,小时候作者去商店买东西时,商店主人Miss Bee总是重新摆放货架上的东西,让作者出丑,作者认为她很刻薄,但是多年后作者意识到Miss Bee并不像她所想的那样,反而她在日常生活中教会了作者一些东西,由此可知,作者接下来可能会写Miss Bee教会她的一些东西,A“别这么快就评判别人”,B项“ 最好的老师不仅仅是在学校”和D项“在日常生活中可以学习一些东西”符合,C项“无论发生什么,都要坚持你的梦想”不符合,文章没有提到梦想,故选C。
C
Some people prefer paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option?
Whether it’s better to read books in print or on a device is complicated, because of the complex interaction of the resources involved across the entire lifecycle of a published work: how books and devices are shipped, what energy they use to run, if they can be recycled.
On the one side, traditional print publishing comes with a high carbon footprint. According to 2023 data, 32 million trees are cut down each year to make paper for books. Then there’s the energy-intensive processes of printing and shipping—to say nothing of the many books that are destroyed because they remain unsold. Although it’s standard practice in the industry, publishers don’t want to destroy books. So instead, many are donating unsold copies, switching to on-demand printing. Publishers are also rethinking book design, since certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper.
On the other hand, digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees and shipping. Moreover, tech companies that make e-readers such as Amazon offer recycling programs for old devices. But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, especially at the manufacturing stage. Their cases are made with plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resource-heavy mining.
Figuring out whether to take a digital device or a paperback to the beach ultimately depends on how much you read.“ If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do,” said Mike Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything. “But if I buy it, read a couple of books, and decide that I prefer paperback books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.”
Yet Berners-Lee said that reading is still, relatively speaking, a pretty sustainable activity——regardless of whether you read using an e-reader, phone or old-fashioned paperback.
8. Why is it hard to tell if print or digital books are more eco-friendly?
A. The whole processes for both involve many resources.
B. The option depends on the reader’s personal preferences.
C. Recycling programs are not equally effective for both types.
D. The environmental impact of reading habits is often overlooked.
9. What are book publishers doing to reduce the environmental impact?
A. Cutting down fewer trees.
B. Destroying the unsold books.
C Employing eco-friendly practices.
D. Focusing on the sales of digital books.
10. According to Berners-Lee, an e-reader is more sustainable than paperbacks when .
A. an e-reader is shared by many people
B. you charge it using renewable energy
C. an e-reader is recycled after being used
D. you read a high volume of books digitally
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Print books vs. e-readers: which is your favorite?
B. Paper books vs. e-readers: which is better for the climate?
C. Choose digital reading, for it reduces more carbon footprint
D. Keep the balance of convenience and sustainability in reading
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章的体裁为说明文,通过对纸质书和电子书对环境影响的比较,介绍了它们各自的优缺点以及相关行业和个人在减少环境影响方面所采取的措施。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一第二段“Some people prefer paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option? Whether it’s better to read books in print or on a device is complicated, because of the complex interaction of the resources involved across the entire lifecycle of a published work: how books and devices are shipped, what energy they use to run, if they can be recycled.(有些人喜欢平装书,因为它们容易借阅和分享。另一些人会选择电子阅读器。但哪种选项在环保方面更可持续? 究竟是在纸质书上阅读还是在设备上阅读更好,这是一个复杂的问题,因为涉及到整个出版作品生命周期中涉及的资源的复杂互动:书籍和设备是如何运输的,运行所需的能源是多少,它们是否可以回收利用)”可知,打印书籍和数字书籍都涉及许多资源,包括制作、印刷、运输等环节,因此确定哪种更环保较为困难。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Although it’s standard practice in the industry, publishers don’t want to destroy books. So instead, many are donating unsold copies, switching to on-demand printing. Publishers are also rethinking book design, since certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper.(尽管这在行业内是标准做法,但出版商并不希望销毁图书。因此,很多出版商选择将未售出的图书捐赠出去,并转向按需印刷。出版商也在重新考虑图书设计,因为某些字体可以更环保,使用更少的墨水和纸张) ”可知,出版商正在采取环保实践,包括捐出旧书、采用更环保的设计以及转向按需印刷等方法来降低环境影响。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Figuring out whether to take a digital device or a paperback to the beach ultimately depends on how much you read.“ If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do,” said Mike Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything.(在决定是带数字设备还是纸质书去海滩时,最终取决于你的阅读量。“如果你购买了电子阅读器,并且在上面读了很多书,那么这是最低碳排放的选择,”《一切碳足迹》的作者迈克·伯纳斯-李说道) ”可知,Berners-Lee的观点是如果你在电子阅读器上阅读大量书籍,那么电子阅读器是更可持续的选择。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some people prefer paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option?( 有些人喜欢平装书,因为它们方便借阅和共享。其他人会选择电子阅读器。但哪种选项更环保可持续呢) ”可知,文本主要论述纸质书与电子阅读器对气候影响的比较,“纸质书与电子阅读器:哪个对气候更好?”这个标题最合适。故选B项。
D
Research has previously shown that years living alone can have harmful effects on a person’s health, and a new study published Monday shows that at least one of those impacts may be particularly bad for men.
The study looked at blood samples of 4, 835 participants from the Copenhagen Aging and Midlife Biobank to examine levels of inflammation (炎症). “We have found a significant association between partnership breakups or years living alone and inflammation for men only, after adjustment for selected confounders (干扰因素).” said Dr. Karolina Davidsen, research associate in the Department of Public Health at University of Copenhagen and publishing author of the study. “In women, we find no such effect.” The study, published in the journal BMJ, looked at both years living alone and numbers of breakups because the end of significant relationships are often followed by years living alone, the researchers wrote.
“This study strengthens the link experts have seen between the nervous system and inflammation, which is a significant contributor to heart disease”, said Dr. Peter Libby, a cardiovascular (心血管的) medicine specialist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, who was not involved in the study, “There is increasing understanding of fundamental links between psychological stress and physical health related to inflammation, Libby said.
Dr. Davidsen said that while women didn’t report this finding, one reason for this could be the fact that there were fewer women in the study than men.
The levels of inflammation in the participants might also have looked different if they were measured at more advanced ages, Davidsen added. The average age of those studied was 54. 5years old, and it is possible that the impacts of the breakups and years living alone would have continued as the participants aged, she said.
12. What element is looked at in the study?
A. Blood types. B. Social status.
C. Cultural background. D. Periods of living alone.
13. Why do women show no significant effects according to Davidsen?
A. Women handle loneliness better.
B. Fewer women are surveyed.
C. Women differ from men physically.
D. Women care more about themselves.
14. What can we learn from the study?
A. The researchers involved are male.
B. The result has caused lots of arguments.
C. The impacts will continue as people age.
D. The impacts decline when people grow old.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Living alone: a cause of inflammation
B. Living alone: a great threat to men’s health
C. Inflammation: a contributor to heart disease
D. Inflammation: a factor in health improvement
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了独居对男性健康是一大威胁。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The study, published in the journal BMJ, looked at both years living alone and numbers of breakups because the end of significant relationships are often followed by years living alone, the researchers wrote.( 研究人员写道,这项发表在《英国医学杂志》(BMJ)上的研究调查了独居的时间和分手的次数,因为重要的感情关系结束后,往往会跟着多年的独居生活。)”可知,这项研究考察了独自生活的时间。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Dr. Davidsen said that while women didn’t report this finding, one reason for this could be the fact that there were fewer women in the study than men. (戴维森博士说,虽然女性没有报告这一发现,但其中一个原因可能是研究中的女性人数少于男性。)”可知,戴维森说,女性没有明显的影响,因为接受调查的女性更少。故选B。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The average age of those studied was 54.5 years old, and it is possible that the impacts of the breakups and years living alone would have continued as the participants aged, she said.( 她说,这些研究对象的平均年龄为54.5岁,随着他们年龄的增长,分手和多年独居的影响可能会持续下去。)”可知,我们从研究中可以知道随着人们年龄的增长,这种影响将继续存在。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Research has previously shown that years living alone can have harmful effects on a person’s health, and a new study published Monday shows that at least one of those impacts may be particularly bad for men. (此前的研究表明,多年的独居会对一个人的健康产生有害影响,周一公布的一项新研究表明,其中至少有一项对男性的影响尤其严重。)”可知,文章主要讲述了独居对男性健康是一大威胁。故选B。

考查时态。句意:他死后被誉为无私和谦逊的人物,因此是许多人的偶像。此处缺乏谓语,be honored as表示“被授予,被誉为”,这里表示雷锋被誉为无私而又谦逊的人,根据后面的was可知,此处时态用一般过去时,主语He是第三人称,谓语单数形式。故填was honored。

47. 阅读下面的材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day Albert found a baby bird lying on the ground, squawking (叫喊) for help. Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird.
Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member.
In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful!
But what then? Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how? Keep the windows closed all the time? That was not practical.”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. In the beginning, Lucky seemed fine inside it. He believed he had made the right choice to keep Lucky close and secure. However, as time passed, things took a turn for the worse. After a fully recovery, Lucky wanted to spread its wings and fly in the sky. When all its attempts failed, what Lucky could do was sitting inside the little cage and squawking sadly. Several days later, Lucky refused to eat and drink. Worried and confused, he didn’t know what to do about it.
Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. They told their son, “If you really love Lucky, you should think of how to make it happy.” After careful consideration, Albert opened both his heart and the cage. Lucky was released and flew away. Two weeks later, a wonderful thing happened: Lucky returned, flying around Albert and chirped happily, seeming to say thanks to him. This had happened from time to time since then. Instead of losing a forced friend, Albert had made a permanent one.

My first shopping in a general store was in Miss Bee’s when I spent the summer with my grandmother in New York.
“Go get them yourself” Miss Bee said, ignoring the shopping list held up before her nose. “I’m not your servant, so just get yourself a basket from that pile over there and start filing.”
It took me three wall-to-wall searches before I found the first item on my list―a pork can be placed between boxes of cereal and bread. Next up was toilet paper, found under the daily newspaper, and Band-Ads, found next to the face cream. The store was a puzzle, but it held some surprises too. I found a new Superman comic behind the peanut butter.
I visited Miss Bee a couple of times a week that summer. Some times she short-charged me. Other times she overcharged or sold me an old newspaper instead of a current one. Going to the store was more like going into battle. I left my Grandma’s house armed with my list—memorized to the letter—and marched into Miss Bee’s like General Patton (巴顿将军) marching into North Africa.
All summer long she found ways to trip me up. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda (小苏打) and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelves and made me hunt for it all over again. By summer’s end, however, the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.
The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stopped into tell her that she was mean (刻薄的). To my amazement she laughed and said. “Well, I don’t care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. Think what you will, but when you get older you’ll be glad our paths crossed!”
I thought the idea was absurd until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles.
“It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?”
“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said.
Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way totally up (结算) my bill along with the cashier. As my daughter went back to her homework, I wondered: Had Miss Bee really taught me something all those years ago? I took out some scrap paper and started writing.
4. Why did the writer spend a long time doing her first shopping in the general store?
A. She was too young to remember all the items on the list.
B. Miss Bee didn’t treat her kindly.
C. Her grandmother asked her to buy too many things.
D. The store was in disorder and she was not familiar with the shop.
5 What did the writer mean when comparing herself to “General Patton” in Paragraph 4?
A. She was well prepared and full of confidence.
B. Going shopping in the store was a challenge to her.
C. She was very aggressive, taking Miss Bee as the enemy.
D. Going shopping was so fun that it was like playing a war game.
6. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 probably suggest?
A. The writer would benefit from the experience of shopping in Miss Bee’s.
B. The writer would find shopping in Miss Bee’s store very interesting.
C. The writer would be happy to meet Miss Bee again later in life.
D. The writer would realize that Miss Bee could become her friend.
7. At the end of the story, the writer might write down the following EXCEPT .
A. Don’t be so quick to judge other people
B. The best teacher isn’t only in school
C. Stick to your dream whatever happens
D. Things can be learned in daily routines
C
Some people prefer paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option?
Whether it’s better to read books in print or on a device is complicated, because of the complex interaction of the resources involved across the entire lifecycle of a published work: how books and devices are shipped, what energy they use to run, if they can be recycled.
On the one side, traditional print publishing comes with a high carbon footprint. According to 2023 data, 32 million trees are cut down each year to make paper for books. Then there’s the energy-intensive processes of printing and shipping—to say nothing of the many books that are destroyed because they remain unsold. Although it’s standard practice in the industry, publishers don’t want to destroy books. So instead, many are donating unsold copies, switching to on-demand printing. Publishers are also rethinking book design, since certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper.
On the other hand, digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees and shipping. Moreover, tech companies that make e-readers such as Amazon offer recycling programs for old devices. But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, especially at the manufacturing stage. Their cases are made with plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resource-heavy mining.
Figuring out whether to take a digital device or a paperback to the beach ultimately depends on how much you read.“ If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do,” said Mike Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything. “But if I buy it, read a couple of books, and decide that I prefer paperback books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.”
Yet Berners-Lee said that reading is still, relatively speaking, a pretty sustainable activity——regardless of whether you read using an e-reader, phone or old-fashioned paperback.
8. Why is it hard to tell if print or digital books are more eco-friendly?
A. The whole processes for both involve many resources.
B. The option depends on the reader’s personal preferences.
C. Recycling programs are not equally effective for both types.
D. The environmental impact of reading habits is often overlooked.
9. What are book publishers doing to reduce the environmental impact?
A. Cutting down fewer trees.
B. Destroying the unsold books.
C. Employing eco-friendly practices.
D. Focusing on the sales of digital books.
10. According to Berners-Lee, an e-reader is more sustainable than paperbacks when .
A. an e-reader is shared by many people
B. you charge it using renewable energy
C. an e-reader is recycled after being used
D. you read a high volume of books digitally
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Print books vs. e-readers: which is your favorite?
B. Paper books vs. e-readers: which is better for the climate?
C. Choose digital reading, for it reduces more carbon footprint
D. Keep the balance of convenience and sustainability in reading
D
Research has previously shown that years living alone can have harmful effects on a person’s health, and a new study published Monday shows that at least one of those impacts may be particularly bad for men.
The study looked at blood samples of 4, 835 participants from the Copenhagen Aging and Midlife Biobank to examine levels of inflammation (炎症). “We have found a significant association between partnership breakups or years living alone and inflammation for men only, after adjustment for selected confounders (干扰因素).” said Dr. Karolina Davidsen, research associate in the Department of Public Health at University of Copenhagen and publishing author of the study. “In women, we find no such effect.” The study, published in the journal BMJ, looked at both years living alone and numbers of breakups because the end of significant relationships are often followed by years living alone, the researchers wrote.
“This study strengthens the link experts have seen between the nervous system and inflammation, which is a significant contributor to heart disease”, said Dr. Peter Libby, a cardiovascular (心血管的) medicine specialist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, who was not involved in the study, “There is increasing understanding of fundamental links between psychological stress and physical health related to inflammation, Libby said.
Dr. Davidsen said that while women didn’t report this finding, one reason for this could be the fact that there were fewer women in the study than men.
The levels of inflammation in the participants might also have looked different if they were measured at more advanced ages, Davidsen added. The average age of those studied was 54. 5years old, and it is possible that the impacts of the breakups and years living alone would have continued as the participants aged, she said.
12. What element is looked at in the study?
A. Blood types. B. Social status.
C. Cultural background. D. Periods of living alone.
13 Why do women show no significant effects according to Davidsen?
A. Women handle loneliness better.
B. Fewer women are surveyed.
C. Women differ from men physically.
D. Women care more about themselves.
14. What can we learn from the study?
A. The researchers involved are male.
B. The result has caused lots of arguments.
C. The impacts will continue as people age.
D. The impacts decline when people grow old.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Living alone: a cause of inflammation
B. Living alone: a great threat to men’s health
C. Inflammation: a contributor to heart disease
D. Inflammation: a factor in health improvement

One day Albert found a baby bird lying on the ground, squawking (叫喊) for help. Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird.
Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member.
In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful!
But what then? Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how? Keep the windows closed all the time? That was not practical.”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it.
