In 1986, at 18 months, I was fitted with a prosthetic (义肢) device, a decision made by my parents and doctors so that I would develop “normally”. I spent my entire childhood and adolescence trying to fit in. I did just about anything to ease the pains of the stares and pointing fingers from my classmates. By the time I was 8 I had no self-confidence, and the hand I was wearing was making it harder for me to fit in. So I decided I was better off without one. I didn’t need anyone to fix me. To prove that I wasn’t limited by my disability, I developed a love for all sports, in particular swimming. I was selected to my first Australian women’s swimming team at age 13 and successfully represented my country for eight years. I realized I’d made a name for myself because of my disability. I taught myself how to be comfortable in a society filled with insecurities (不安全). So when I was first contacted in 2021 by Covvi, a company trying to create the world’s most advanced bionic (仿生的) hand, I was a bit surprised. They asked me to trial the hand and, if possible, to become a patient advocate (病人权益维护者). Initially, I said no. Then, curiosity got the better of me. While I was busy advocating for disability rights, a new generation of leaders, like Amy Purdy and Nick Vujicic, used the power of technology and social media to display wheelchairs or artificial limbs without explanation. People feared disability less. Society was beginning to see a person first, and their disability second. Viewing disability through a social lens also meant acknowledging (承认) that a person is more disabled by their environment and the discrimination (歧视) of others than by their actual disability. As those conversations shifted, I realized that there was an opportunity to use technology to change the future generations’ view on disability. In July 2022, I decided to trial the hand. The role of patient advocate is a huge honor. Through sharing my journey, I’m able to reach thousands of other people who would benefit from its extraordinary capabilities (能力). That’s why I wear a bionic hand—not because I’m broken, but because I have an opportunity to increase the human capabilities that already exist. 41. When was the author fitted with a prosthetic device? A. At 18 months old. B. At 8 years old. C. In her adolescence. D. In 2022. 42. From Purdy and Vujicic, the author learned ______. A. more people accepted their limits B. the disabled needed a friendlier environment C. social media allowed the disabled opportunities D. technology changed people’s attitudes to disability 43. What does NOT make it more difficult for the disabled to fit in? A. People’s fear of disability. B. Others’ discrimination of the disabled. C. Their actual disability. D. The unfriendly environment. 44. Why did the author finally decide to trial the bionic hand in July2022? A. She believed it would fix her disability. B. She wanted to become a patient advocate. C. She realized the power of technology. D. She wanted to prove her success in swimming. 45. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. intelligent and brave B. warm-hearted and patient C. responsible and strong-willed D. independent and innovative C If your phone needs a software upgrade, you would likely run the installations (安装) when it’s fully charged. Otherwise, your phone and its software would not work properly. A new study finds human energy systems operate in a similar fashion: Our metabolisms (新陈代谢) likely work best in the morning when our bodies are fresh and fully charged. The research, based on a seven-year dietary analysis of 50,000 adults, found that body weight, measured by BMI (body mass index), is related to when we eat and how often we eat. Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast (禁食), say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights. Those who ate more than three meals, or three meals plus snacks, had higher BMIs. Those who ate later in the day, after 6 pm, compared to having the largest meal at breakfast or lunch, had higher body weights. The Loma Linda University researchers suggest that 18 to 19-hour overnight dietary fasts restart our metabolisms to help our bodies burn calories efficiently (有效地). Lead author says this process (进程) makes sure that our energy intake correlates (相互关联) with energy output, instead of energy reserves or enlarged fat cells. Different from popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help start metabolic work. The author also finds meals eaten in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in a hypoglycemic response (血糖升高), or raised blood sugar, which happens when insulin (胰岛素) can’t deal with glucose (葡萄糖) into energy. Like a clog (阻塞) in a machine, extra glucose slows our bodies’ metabolic process down. Depending on your goals and health situation, you may consider taking more calories in the morning when insulin work is most efficient. So, let’s say you take 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day. Instead of splitting 500 to 600 calories evenly (均等的) at each meal, you could experiment with eating 600 to 700 calories for breakfast, 600 to 700 calories for lunch and a light 300- to 400-calorie dinner. If you’re looking to lose 10 pounds or change the early stages of Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) completely, the 18-to 19-hour overnight fast might work well for you. This could mean eating a larger breakfast, a medium-sized lunch and no dinner at all. 46. What is the new study based on? A. A dietary analysis. B. An experiment in the lab. C. A survey on children. D. A famous newspaper. 47. What kind of eating pattern is connected with the lowest body weight? A. Eating more than three meals a day. B. Having the largest meal at dinner. C. Eating a large breakfast and fasting overnight. D. Having snacks throughout the day. 48. What happens when we eat in the evening? A. Our metabolisms speed up. B. We have a hypoglycemic response. C. Our bodies burn calories more efficiently. D. We have an high blood sugar level. 49. How can we rearrange our meals for better results? A. Take in more calories at dinner. B. Split calories evenly among all meals. C. Take in more calories in the morning. D. Skip breakfast and have a big lunch. 50. What is the best title for this article? A. Can Skipping dinner help you lose weight? B. How to lose weight or reverse early Type 2 diabetes? C. How to control the normal blood sugar level? D. Can exercising a lot make your body fully charged? 卷Ⅱ 主观题（满分50分） Please write the answers on the answer sheet. (请将此卷答案写在答卷纸上） Ⅳ. Vocabulary A. Complete each sentence with proper words.

In 1986, at 18 months, I was fitted with a prosthetic (义肢) device, a decision made by my parents and doctors so that I would develop “normally”. I spent my entire childhood and adolescence trying to fit in. I did just about anything to ease the pains of the stares and pointing fingers from my classmates. By the time I was 8, I had no self-confidence, and the hand I was wearing was making it harder for me to fit in. So I decided I was better off without one. I didn’t need anyone to fix me. To prove that I wasn’t limited by my disability, I developed a love for all sports, in particular swimming. I was selected to my first Australian women’s swimming team at age 13 and successfully represented my country for eight years. I realized I’d made a name for myself because of my disability. I taught myself how to be comfortable in a society filled with insecurities (不安全). So when I was first contacted in 2021 by Covvi, a company trying to create the world’s most advanced bionic (仿生的) hand, I was a bit surprised. They asked me to trial the hand and, if possible, to become a patient advocate (病人权益维护者). Initially, I said no. Then, curiosity got the better of me. While I was busy advocating for disability rights, a new generation of leaders, like Amy Purdy and Nick Vujicic, used the power of technology and social media to display wheelchairs or artificial limbs without explanation. People feared disability less. Society was beginning to see a person first, and their disability second. Viewing disability through a social lens also meant acknowledging (承认) that a person is more disabled by their environment and the discrimination (歧视) of others than by their actual disability. As those conversations shifted, I realized that there was an opportunity to use technology to change the future generations’ view on disability. In July 2022, I decided to trial the hand. The role of patient advocate is a huge honor. Through sharing my journey, I’m able to reach thousands of other people who would benefit from its extraordinary capabilities (能力). That’s why I wear a bionic hand—not because I’m broken, but because I have an opportunity to increase the human capabilities that already exist. 41. When was the author fitted with a prosthetic device? A. At 18 months old. B. At 8 years old. C. In her adolescence. D. In 2022. 42. From Purdy and Vujicic, the author learned ______. A. more people accepted their limits B. the disabled needed a friendlier environment C. social media allowed the disabled opportunities D. technology changed people’s attitudes to disability 43. What does NOT make it more difficult for the disabled to fit in? A. People’s fear of disability. B. Others’ discrimination of the disabled. C Their actual disability. D. The unfriendly environment. 44. Why did the author finally decide to trial the bionic hand in July2022? A. She believed it would fix her disability. B. She wanted to become a patient advocate. C. She realized the power of technology. D. She wanted to prove her success in swimming. 45. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. intelligent and brave B. warm-hearted and patient C. responsible and strong-willed D. independent and innovative 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. C 44. C 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者出生就缺少左臂，但是他并不气馁，参加运动证明自己并不受到残疾的限制，并使用科技帮助其他人。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 1986, at 18 months, I was fitted with a prosthetic (义肢) device”可知1986年，18个月大的时候，我安装了一个假肢。故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“like Amy Purdy and Nick Vujicic, used the power of technology and social media to display wheelchairs or artificial limbs without explanation. People feared disability less.”可知他们利用技术和社交媒体的力量，在没有解释的情况下展示轮椅或假肢，人们对残疾的恐惧减少了，所以他们认为科技改变了人们对残疾的态度。故选D。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“People feared disability less. Society was beginning to see a person first, and their disability second.”以及“Viewing disability through a social lens also meant acknowledging (承认) that a person is more disabled by their environment and the discrimination (歧视) of others than by their actual disability”可知人们害怕残疾人，周围的环境和他人的歧视都让残疾人很难融入社会。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I realized that there was an opportunity to use technology to change the future generations’ view on disability. In July 2022, I decided to trial the hand.”可知随着这些对话的转变，作者意识到有机会利用技术改变后代对残疾的看法，所以作者决定试用这只手。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据“To prove that I wasn’t limited by my disability, I developed a love for all sports, in particular swimming...”可知作者被选入第一支澳大利亚女子游泳队，并成功代表国家参赛，可推知作者作为一名残疾人意志力很强；根据“but because I have an opportunity to increase the human capabilities that already exist.”可知作者也帮助其他残疾人，所以作者是有责任心的。故选C。 C If your phone needs a software upgrade, you would likely run the installations (安装) when it’s fully charged. Otherwise, your phone and its software would not work properly. A new study finds human energy systems operate in a similar fashion: Our metabolisms (新陈代谢) likely work best in the morning when our bodies are fresh and fully charged. The research, based on a seven-year dietary analysis of 50,000 adults, found that body weight, measured by BMI (body mass index), is related to when we eat and how often we eat. Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast (禁食), say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights. Those who ate more than three meals, or three meals plus snacks, had higher BMIs. Those who ate later in the day, after 6 pm, compared to having the largest meal at breakfast or lunch, had higher body weights. The Loma Linda University researchers suggest that 18 to 19-hour overnight dietary fasts restart our metabolisms to help our bodies burn calories efficiently (有效地). Lead author says this process (进程) makes sure that our energy intake correlates (相互关联) with energy output, instead of energy reserves or enlarged fat cells. Different from popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help start metabolic work. The author also finds meals eaten in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in a hypoglycemic response (血糖升高), or raised blood sugar, which happens when insulin (胰岛素) can’t deal with glucose (葡萄糖) into energy. Like a clog (阻塞) in a machine, extra glucose slows our bodies’ metabolic process down. Depending on your goals and health situation, you may consider taking more calories in the morning when insulin work is most efficient. So, let’s say you take 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day. Instead of splitting 500 to 600 calories evenly (均等的) at each meal, you could experiment with eating 600 to 700 calories for breakfast, 600 to 700 calories for lunch and a light 300- to 400-calorie dinner. If you’re looking to lose 10 pounds or change the early stages of Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) completely, the 18-to 19-hour overnight fast might work well for you. This could mean eating a larger breakfast, a medium-sized lunch and no dinner at all. 46. What is the new study based on? A. A dietary analysis. B. An experiment in the lab. C. A survey on children. D. A famous newspaper. 47. What kind of eating pattern is connected with the lowest body weight? A. Eating more than three meals a day. B. Having the largest meal at dinner. C. Eating a large breakfast and fasting overnight. D. Having snacks throughout the day. 48. What happens when we eat in the evening? A. Our metabolisms speed up. B. We have a hypoglycemic response. C. Our bodies burn calories more efficiently. D. We have an high blood sugar level. 49. How can we rearrange our meals for better results? A. Take in more calories at dinner. B. Split calories evenly among all meals. C. Take in more calories in the morning. D. Skip breakfast and have a big lunch. 50. What is the best title for this article? A. Can Skipping dinner help you lose weight? B. How to lose weight or reverse early Type 2 diabetes? C. How to control the normal blood sugar level? D. Can exercising a lot make your body fully charged? 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. B 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要解释了不吃晚餐是否可以减肥的问题。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The research, based on a seven-year dietary analysis of 50,000 adults,”可知，这项研究基于对5万名成年人7年的饮食分析。故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast ( 禁食 ), say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights.”可知，吃一顿丰盛的早餐，整夜禁食的人更能减重。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The author also finds meals eaten in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in a hypoglycemic response (血糖升高)...”可知，作者还发现，与早上吃饭相比，晚上吃饭会导致血糖升高。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So, let’s say you take 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day.
