A. A radio programme. B. A culture magazine. C. A history book.
【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【详解】The desire to stay cool is, of course, nothing new.
The ancient Egyptians and Romans employed various techniques to cool down their buildings from the outside heat. Some people have even claimed that the first air conditioning device was invented in ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians would hang wet plants outside their windows, and when the air came into the house, it would be cooled by the cool water drops on the plants.
The Romans understood that if they could bring cold water under their houses, then the temperature inside would fall. And if we really stretch the meaning of the phrase “air conditioning”, then hand fans have been used since the very beginning of the history. People realized that they could move air by waving something and it would cool them down for a while.
The Chinese inventor Ding Huan went a step further in the second century and invented a fan that could go around, similar to fans we might see today, although it was powered by servants.
That’s all for today. Please stay tuned for more updates.

Monica Bertagnolli is an oncologist (肿瘤学家) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School. Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in rural areas. Access to in-depth care for cancer patients is hard to get. She’s worked throughout her career to change that.
In Wyoming, there’s a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer specialist. “If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day, and if it’s 120 miles from where you live, that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need.”
And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.
She said, “One of the really important things is, we’re trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials became available, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive.
Monica’s efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials, and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.
In addition to the clinical trials, Monica said that technology’s progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved ones and medical professionals despite their distance. She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to continue.
“I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to care.”
24. What do rural cancer patients in Wyoming need most?
A. Health care. B. Better housing.
C. Further education. D. Public transportation.
25. How has Monica helped the cancer patients?
A. By offering clinical trials. B. By advocating financial aid.
C. By improving internet service. D. By training medical professionals.
26. Which of the following can best describe Monica?
A. Determined and loyal. B. Honest and generous.
C. Grateful and courageous. D. Devoted and responsible.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Technology: A push for progress B. Monica: A helper for cancer patients
C. CCCG: A pioneer for cancer treatment D. Clinical trials: A hope for cancer patients
【答案】24. A 25. A 26. D 27. B

Researchers out of Australia’s Flinders University recently studied various physical reactions during sleep when exposed to noise. They found that certain levels of noise while sleeping, even those below recommended safe levels, may affect a person’s cardiovascular (心血管的) response. When slowly activated during sleep, these responses “could potentially have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system,” said researchers.
Researchers exposed 20 adult participants to various decibels (分贝) of wind farm and road noise while asleep, and then monitored physical responses including blood flow and heart rates as well as sleep awakenings. Although asleep, participants reacted to these noises, as found by the researchers.
For example, a 48-decibel (dB) noise, which is quieter than the 50-dB hum of a refrigerator, was 3. 4 times more likely to cause a change in participants’ pulse wave amplitude (脉搏波振幅), which is a measurement that relates to blood flow. Participants’ heart rates responded to the noise as well. After being exposed to a noise of over 40 dB, they experienced an increase followed by a decrease in their heart rates. The study noted that these sound levels are under the recommended 70 dB limit by the World Health Organization.
Physiological reactions that the study monitored, such as heart rates and blood flow, may root in the proper responses that may be “potentially needed to defend against threats during sleep,” researchers said.
Sleep is typically a time for the body to rest and recover, and noise-caused activation of these cardiovascular responses during sleep may prevent a person from getting the proper amount of healthy sleep they need.
Researchers noted that being exposed to noise pollution during sleep may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, heart disease, and other harmful health effects. To help reduce the potential increased health risks caused by frequent noise-caused sleep disturbances, researchers note that their findings help create public policies around noise levels during sleep.
28. What does the underlined word “adverse” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Positive. B. Obvious. C. Harmful. D. Common.
29. Which of the following will NOT react to the noises?
A. Pulse wave amplitude. B. Sense of safety and duty.
C. Blood flow and heart rates. D. Possible sleep awakening.
30. What do researchers hope to see after their findings?
A. All people can rest and recover in noise-free environments.
B. Physiological reactions can be monitored for most people.
C. Frequent noise-caused sleep disturbances will disappear soon.
D. Official policies can be put on noise pollution to guarantee better sleep.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Noise during sleep affects your heart.
B. Noise-free sleep is changing your life.
C. Noise pollution during sleep will be banned.
D. Various physical reactions arise during sleep.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍澳大利亚一所大学的研究,揭示了睡眠时噪音会影响心脏这一理论。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Researchers noted that being exposed to noise pollution during sleep may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, heart disease, and other harmful health effects.(研究人员指出,睡眠时暴露在噪音污染中可能会增加患心血管疾病的风险,如高血压、心脏病和其他有害健康的影响。)”可知,睡觉时如果有噪音,可能会增加心血管疾病的风险,并且会造成有害影响;由此可以推测出,文章第一段“They found that certain levels of noise while sleeping, even those below recommended safe levels, may affect a person’s cardiovascular (心血管的) response. When slowly activated during sleep, these responses “could potentially have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system,” said researchers. (他们发现,睡眠时的某些噪音水平,甚至低于建议的安全水平,可能会影响一个人的心血管反应。研究人员说,当这些反应在睡眠中被缓慢激活时,“可能会对心血管系统产生adverse影响”。)”中,同样也是表述会造成“不利影响”。A. 积极的;B. 明显的;C. 有害的;D. 普遍的。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Researchers exposed 20 adult participants to various decibels of wind farm and road noise while asleep, and then monitored physical responses including blood flow and heart rates as well as sleep awakenings. Although asleep, participants reacted to these noises, as found by the researchers.(研究人员让20名成年参与者在睡眠时暴露在不同分贝的风电场和道路噪音中,然后监测身体反应,包括血液流动和心率以及睡眠觉醒。研究人员发现,虽然参与者睡着了,但他们对这些噪音有反应。)”可知,血流量和心率、睡眠觉醒对噪音是有反应的,故排除C、D项;根据文章第三段“For example, a 48-decibel (dB) noise, which is quieter than the 50-dB hum of a refrigerator, was 3, 4 times more likely to cause a change in participants’ pulse wave amplitude, which is a measurement that relates to blood flow.( 例如,48分贝的噪音比50分贝的冰箱嗡嗡声更安静,导致参与者脉搏波振幅变化的可能性要高3、4倍,这是一种与血液流动有关的测量方法。)”可知,噪音对脉冲波幅也会造成影响,排除A。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“To help reduce the potential increased health risks caused by frequent noise-caused sleep disturbances, researchers note that their findings help create public policies around noise levels during sleep.(为了帮助减少频繁的噪音引起的睡眠障碍所带来的潜在的健康风险,研究人员指出,他们的发现有助于制定围绕睡眠噪音水平的公共政策。)”可知,研究人员希望能够针对噪音污染制定官方政策来保证更好的睡眠。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Researchers out of Australia’s Flinders University recently studied various physical reactions during sleep when exposed to noise. They found that certain levels of noise while sleeping, even those below recommended safe levels, may affect a person’s cardiovascular (心血管的) response. (澳大利亚弗林德斯大学的研究人员最近研究了睡眠中暴露在噪音下的各种身体反应。他们发现,睡眠时的某些噪音水平,甚至低于建议的安全水平,可能会影响一个人的心血管反应。)”,文章倒数第二段“Sleep is typically a time for the body to rest and recover, and noise-caused activation of these cardiovascular responses during sleep may prevent a person from getting the proper amount of healthy sleep they need.(睡眠通常是身体休息和恢复的时间,睡眠中噪音引起的这些心血管反应的激活可能会阻止一个人获得所需的适量健康睡眠。)”和最后一段“Researchers noted that being exposed to noise pollution during sleep may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, heart disease, and other harmful health effects.(研究人员指出,睡眠时暴露在噪音污染中可能会增加患心血管疾病的风险,如高血压、心脏病和其他有害健康的影响。)”可知,本文主要讲的是睡眠时,噪音是如何影响心脏的。故选A项。

Scot Case, Vice President of the environmental marketing firm Terra Choice, was not happy. Case last year sent his researchers into a big-box retail store to evaluate the green advertising claims of some of the products on its shelves. The results were shocking, of the 1,018 products Terra Choice surveyed, all but one failed to live up fully to their green boasts.
He couldn’t believe the result, and had his team redo the survey, but the results came back the same. “It just shows we’re awash in greenwash.” He said.
Many consumers may not have heard the term green washing, but they’ve surely experienced it — misleading marketing about the environmental benefits of a product. Greenwashing isn’t new — ever since the environment was an issue in the early 1970s. As going green has become big business, environmental advocates worry that truly green companies could get lost in the situation.
“We have such a challenge ahead of us on climate change, says Kevin Tuerff, a co-founder of the marketing consultancy EnviroMedia. “Greenwashing harms the effort we need to be making.”
The first step to cleaning up greenwashing is to identify it, and Tuerff and his partners have hit on an innovative way to spotlight particularly abnormal examples. They’ve launched the Greenwashing Index a website that allows consumers to post ads that might be examples of greenwashing and rate them on a scale of 1 to 5 — 1 is a little green lie; S is a big green lie.
It’s a simple device, but it shows the power of the Interne to uncover misleading ads with a simple Web search, any consumer can find out the index they want to know. Googling isn’t the only way to take out the greenwashing, however. The Terra Choice website offers a list of what it calls the “six sins of greenwashing” — six simple signs that should remind consumers of a company that is more interested in selling the earth than saving it.
“We have better green products but a lot of exaggerated (夸张的) claims,” says Case. “That could be enough to destroy the whole green movement” — and that’s not a little green lie.
32. Which of the following statements is TRUE about greenwashing?
A. It is harmful for the environment.
B. It is a special way to wash so as to save water.
C. It is environment-friendly so it should be advocated.
D. It is beneficial for both the consumers and the companies.
33. Which measure should be used to tackle the green washing?
A. Holding hearings to tell genuine environmental claims from false ones.
B. Launching the Greenwashing Index a website to expose greenwashing.
C. Offering a list of “six sins of greenwashing” for companies’ reference.
D. Updating Green Guide for consumers which hasn’t changed since 1998.
34. Which of the following shows NO sign of greenwashing?
A. Organic products but without any certificates.
B. Energy-efficient products made of harmful material.
C. Food which is low in nutrition but high in calorie.
D. Pesticides which are said to be environment-friendly.
35. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The effort on environmental protection.
B. The advocation of green advertisements.
C. The distinction between green products and common ones.
D. The distinction between real environmental claims and false ones.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D

细节理解题。根据第五段中“They’ve launched the Greenwashing Index a website that allows consumers to post ads that might be examples of greenwashing and rate them on a scale of 1 to 5 (他们推出了‘洗绿指数’网站,消费者可以在网站上发布可能是‘洗绿’例子的广告,并在1到5的范围内对这些广告进行评分)”可知,推出“洗绿指数”网站,揭露“洗绿”行为是解决“洗绿”问题的措施。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Many consumers may not have heard the term green washing, but they’ve surely experienced it — misleading marketing about the environmental benefits of a product. (许多消费者可能没有听说过‘洗绿’这个词,但他们肯定经历过——关于产品环保效益的误导性营销)”可知,“洗绿”是关于产品环保效益的误导性营销,A项“有机产品,但没有任何证书”、B项“由有害物质制成的节能产品”及D项“据说是环保的农药”均是“洗绿”,C项“低营养但高热量的食物”不含产品环保效益的相关信息,不属于“洗绿”。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合最后一段“‘We have better green products but a lot of exaggerated(夸张的) claims,’ says Case. ‘That could be enough to destroy the whole green movement’——and that’s not a little green lie. (Case说:‘我们有更好的绿色产品,但有很多夸大的说法。’‘这足以摧毁整个绿色运动’——这可不是环保的小谎言)”可知,文章主要讲述很多产品存在环保作假现象,对产品的环保效益进行误导性营销,即“洗绿”,并介绍了一个解决“洗绿”的网站。D项“真正的环保宣传和虚假宣传之间的区别”能够总结文章大意。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills. ____36____ In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.
____37____Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles. Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared. ____38____
In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health. ____39____
It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects. People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food. ____40____ And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking. Indeed, it could be said that poverty is a vicious cycle, keeping people trapped by taking away their best means of escape-their ability to make smart decisions.
A. But is poverty really caused by poor thinking?
B. Unwise decisions people make, to a greater degree, contribute to tight budgets.
C. They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution.
D. Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.
E. Therefore, the scientists concluded that poor thinking plays a major part in one’s future financial condition.
F. This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.
G. One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.
【答案】36. A 37. G 38. F 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是否真的是因为糟糕的决策能力,并且分析了贫困给人们带来的不好的影响。
【36题详解】
根据空前内容“It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills.(人们普遍认为,人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是因为糟糕的决策能力)”可知,上文提到的是人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是因为糟糕的决策能力。而下文“In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.(事实上,过去十年的几项研究表明,因果关系可能比人们普遍认为的要复杂得多)”则认为答案不是那么简单。选项A“But is poverty really caused by poor thinking?(但是,贫穷真的是由糟糕的思维造成的吗?)”对上文观点提出质疑,同时引出下文,也就是本文的主题——人们陷入糟糕的财务状况的原因很复杂。故选A。
【37题详解】
根据下文“Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles.(科学家首先向研究参与者提出了一系列问题,让他们思考自己的个人收入和储蓄。然后他们被要求解决一些谜题)”可知,科学家们进行了一个实验,想弄清楚个人经济状况和解决谜题之间是否有联系。选项G“One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.(2013年发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究表明,人们解决问题的能力可能会受到当前经济状况的显著影响)”与下文内容一致,故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文内容“Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared.(那些财务状况较好的人比那些财务困难的人在解决谜题方面表现得更好。然而,当在不让参与者考虑自己财务状况的情况下重复测试时,富人和穷人之间的表现差异就消失了)”可知,根据研究结果,我们可以推断人们解决问题的能力会受到自己经济状况的影响。选项F“This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.(这表明,担心自己糟糕的财务状况会使穷人的表现比那些没有财务问题的人更差)”是上文研究的总结,符合上文内容。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据上文内容“In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health.(在2018年德克萨斯大学进行的另一项研究中,对300多名年龄在20岁至89岁之间的人的大脑进行了扫描和分析,以寻找良好认知功能的迹象。研究发现,在35岁至64岁的人群中,经济状况较好的人大脑更健康,包括记忆力更好、老年痴呆症风险更低等特征。然而,在年轻人(年龄在20到34岁之间)中,财富和大脑健康之间似乎没有任何联系)”可知,研究人员进行了研究,以探究贫困和大脑健康之间的联系。选项D“Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.(综上所述,这些结果表明长期贫困只会逐渐导致大脑的磨损)”是上文研究结果的总结,该研究表明,长期贫困会对大脑无益。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据段首句“It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects.(难猜测为什么贫穷会产生这些影响)”可知,本段分析了贫困为什么会有这些不好的影响。选项C“They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution.(他们更容易受到污染等负面环境因素的影响)”指的正是贫困给人们带来的不好的影响,与空前“People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food.(生活条件较差的人往往难以负担得起健康食品)”以及空后“And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking.(总是担心是否有足够的钱支付房租或把食物放在桌子上,这对大脑提出了不断的要求,从而减少了批判性思维的处理能力)”内容上保持一致。故选C。

Last year, during the summer break, my friends and I decided to go for a walk in the forest. The forest had paths, and we decided that we would hike along the paths and meet at a central point to have a drink later. The whole team had several groups and we had planned on meeting with the rest of the team after three hours. I had a lighter,a partially charged phone, and a bottle of water. We continued on our way towards the deeper part of the forest until we were far from any recognizable trail. After two hours, we were in the deepest part of the forest, and we could not trace our other friends.
All of a sudden,a bear came rushing along our path, and we all run in different directions. After running for about five minutes,I stood alone in a bush. I had no clue about my surroundings as I had never been.there before.I shouted at my friends’ names loudly, but all was in vain:there was no reply, and the whole place was silent. I was confused and felt like crying as I realized I was alone with nothing to protect myself.With a lot of fear,I tried to trace the part where I had come from, but all was useless:l was lost.
As I walked along the path trying to locate my friends, I realized that I was tired, and nothing was looking familiar. I was out of food, water, and barely had any battery in my phone. I decided to walk through the bushes as the trees had grown so close together. I squeezed myself between the little trees. After some thirty minutes, it started raining heavily. Though I had heavy clothing,I was rained on until I was soaked up.I started freezing and praying to the God for protection and direction out of the forest.
注意;

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】With darkness approaching,I tried to figure out various ways of making a signal to my colleagues.After many vain trials, it occurred to me that I had a lighter with me. I was wild with joy and decided to build a signal fire by collecting leaves and lighting them up for my friends to see the fire.Although it had been rained on,I was finally successful to light it. Everything in silence, only the howling of the winds and the cracking of twigs kept me company. I couldn’t help wondering what would have gone wrong because I had never had such kind of experience.
While sitting down and warming myself around the fire,I heard some distant noise. As the sounds got closer, I realized that those were my friends. I jumped with a lot of joy as tears filled my eyes because I knew I was safe. They shouted my name, and I replied very loudly knowing in my mind that I was saved. It showed me the importance of the use of the markings and of course the quality-calmness while adventuring in the forest. I also thought to myself that my being lost added a special taste to my adventurous vacation which I would remember all my life.

Monica Bertagnolli is an oncologist (肿瘤学家) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School. Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in rural areas. Access to in-depth care for cancer patients is hard to get. She’s worked throughout her career to change that.
In Wyoming, there’s a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer specialist. “If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day, and if it’s 120 miles from where you live, that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need.”
And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.
She said, “One of the really important things is, we’re trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials became available, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive.
Monica’s efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials, and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.
In addition to the clinical trials, Monica said that technology’s progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved ones and medical professionals despite their distance. She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to continue.
“I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to care.”
24. What do rural cancer patients in Wyoming need most?
A. Health care. B. Better housing.
C Further education. D. Public transportation.
25. How has Monica helped the cancer patients?
A. By offering clinical trials. B. By advocating financial aid.
C. By improving internet service. D. By training medical professionals.
26. Which of the following can best describe Monica?
A. Determined and loyal. B. Honest and generous.
C. Grateful and courageous. D. Devoted and responsible.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Technology: A push for progress B. Monica: A helper for cancer patients
C. CCCG: A pioneer for cancer treatment D. Clinical trials: A hope for cancer patients
C
Researchers out of Australia’s Flinders University recently studied various physical reactions during sleep when exposed to noise. They found that certain levels of noise while sleeping, even those below recommended safe levels, may affect a person’s cardiovascular (心血管的) response. When slowly activated during sleep, these responses “could potentially have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system,” said researchers.
Researchers exposed 20 adult participants to various decibels (分贝) of wind farm and road noise while asleep, and then monitored physical responses including blood flow and heart rates as well as sleep awakenings. Although asleep, participants reacted to these noises, as found by the researchers.
For example, a 48-decibel (dB) noise, which is quieter than the 50-dB hum of a refrigerator, was 3. 4 times more likely to cause a change in participants’ pulse wave amplitude (脉搏波振幅), which is a measurement that relates to blood flow. Participants’ heart rates responded to the noise as well. After being exposed to a noise of over 40 dB, they experienced an increase followed by a decrease in their heart rates. The study noted that these sound levels are under the recommended 70 dB limit by the World Health Organization.
Physiological reactions that the study monitored, such as heart rates and blood flow, may root in the proper responses that may be “potentially needed to defend against threats during sleep,” researchers said.
Sleep is typically a time for the body to rest and recover, and noise-caused activation of these cardiovascular responses during sleep may prevent a person from getting the proper amount of healthy sleep they need.
Researchers noted that being exposed to noise pollution during sleep may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, heart disease, and other harmful health effects. To help reduce the potential increased health risks caused by frequent noise-caused sleep disturbances, researchers note that their findings help create public policies around noise levels during sleep.
28. What does the underlined word “adverse” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Positive. B. Obvious. C. Harmful. D. Common.
29. Which of the following will NOT react to the noises?
A. Pulse wave amplitude. B. Sense of safety and duty.
C. Blood flow and heart rates. D. Possible sleep awakening.
30. What do researchers hope to see after their findings?
A. All people can rest and recover in noise-free environments.
B. Physiological reactions can be monitored for most people.
C. Frequent noise-caused sleep disturbances will disappear soon.
D. Official policies can be put on noise pollution to guarantee better sleep.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Noise during sleep affects your heart.
B. Noise-free sleep is changing your life.
C. Noise pollution during sleep will be banned.
D. Various physical reactions arise during sleep.
D
Scot Case, Vice President of the environmental marketing firm Terra Choice, was not happy. Case last year sent his researchers into a big-box retail store to evaluate the green advertising claims of some of the products on its shelves. The results were shocking, of the 1,018 products Terra Choice surveyed, all but one failed to live up fully to their green boasts.
He couldn’t believe the result, and had his team redo the survey, but the results came back the same. “It just shows we’re awash in greenwash.” He said.
Many consumers may not have heard the term green washing, but they’ve surely experienced it — misleading marketing about the environmental benefits of a product. Greenwashing isn’t new — ever since the environment was an issue in the early 1970s. As going green has become big business, environmental advocates worry that truly green companies could get lost in the situation.
“We have such a challenge ahead of us on climate change, says Kevin Tuerff, a co-founder of the marketing consultancy EnviroMedia. “Greenwashing harms the effort we need to be making.”
The first step to cleaning up greenwashing is to identify it, and Tuerff and his partners have hit on an innovative way to spotlight particularly abnormal examples. They’ve launched the Greenwashing Index a website that allows consumers to post ads that might be examples of greenwashing and rate them on a scale of 1 to 5 — 1 is a little green lie; S is a big green lie.
It’s a simple device, but it shows the power of the Interne to uncover misleading ads with a simple Web search, any consumer can find out the index they want to know. Googling isn’t the only way to take out the greenwashing, however. The Terra Choice website offers a list of what it calls the “six sins of greenwashing” — six simple signs that should remind consumers of a company that is more interested in selling the earth than saving it.
“We have better green products but a lot of exaggerated (夸张的) claims,” says Case. “That could be enough to destroy the whole green movement” — and that’s not a little green lie.
32. Which of the following statements is TRUE about greenwashing?
A. It is harmful for the environment.
B. It is a special way to wash so as to save water.
C. It is environment-friendly so it should be advocated.
D It is beneficial for both the consumers and the companies.
33. Which measure should be used to tackle the green washing?
A. Holding hearings to tell genuine environmental claims from false ones.
B. Launching the Greenwashing Index a website to expose greenwashing.
C. Offering a list of “six sins of greenwashing” for companies’ reference.
D. Updating Green Guide for consumers which hasn’t changed since 1998.
34. Which of the following shows NO sign of greenwashing?
A. Organic products but without any certificates.
B Energy-efficient products made of harmful material.
C. Food which is low in nutrition but high in calorie.
D. Pesticides which are said to be environment-friendly.
35. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The effort on environmental protection.
B. The advocation of green advertisements.
C. The distinction between green products and common ones.
D. The distinction between real environmental claims and false ones.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills. ____36____ In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.
____37____Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles. Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared. ____38____
In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health. ____39____
It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects. People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food. ____40____ And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking. Indeed, it could be said that poverty is a vicious cycle, keeping people trapped by taking away their best means of escape-their ability to make smart decisions.
A. But is poverty really caused by poor thinking?
B. Unwise decisions people make, to a greater degree, contribute to tight budgets.
C. They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution.
D. Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.
E. Therefore, the scientists concluded that poor thinking plays a major part in one’s future financial condition.
F. This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.
G. One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.

Last year, during the summer break, my friends and I decided to go for a walk in the forest. The forest had paths, and we decided that we would hike along the paths and meet at a central point to have a drink later. The whole team had several groups and we had planned on meeting with the rest of the team after three hours. I had a lighter,a partially charged phone, and a bottle of water. We continued on our way towards the deeper part of the forest until we were far from any recognizable trail. After two hours, we were in the deepest part of the forest, and we could not trace our other friends.
All of a sudden,a bear came rushing along our path, and we all run in different directions. After running for about five minutes,I stood alone in a bush. I had no clue about my surroundings as I had never been.there before.I shouted at my friends’ names loudly, but all was in vain:there was no reply, and the whole place was silent. I was confused and felt like crying as I realized I was alone with nothing to protect myself.With a lot of fear,I tried to trace the part where I had come from, but all was useless:l was lost.
As I walked along the path trying to locate my friends I realized that I was tired, and nothing was looking familiar. I was out of food, water, and barely had any battery in my phone. I decided to walk through the bushes as the trees had grown so close together. I squeezed myself between the little trees. After some thirty minutes, it started raining heavily. Though I had heavy clothing,I was rained on until I was soaked up.I started freezing and praying to the God for protection and direction out of the forest.
