At 67, Joyce Faulkner thought she was looking for a holiday. Her husband, Jim, had recently died and exploring possible house swaps on the Home Exchange website felt less painful. In the end, it was not a vacation Faulkner found but a job. She left her home in Edinburgh to become mother’s help to seven-year-old twins in Varese, Italy.
“It’s halfway crazy,” she says. A house swap she was interested in didn’t work out, but the owner, Rachele, asked: “‘Do you know anyone who might help me with the children?’ I wrote back and said: ‘Tell me what that involves!’ She wrote me a little list, and I said: ‘I could do that!’ We seemed to believe in each other.”
Two months later, when Faulkner reached Varese, “the dad, Andrea, was walking towards me with the children hiding behind his legs, kind of shy, thinking: ‘Who is this woman in a long black coat?’ I don’t think it was quite Mary Poppins, but the atmosphere was immediately warm and friendly.”
Eighteen months on, Faulkner’s job no longer feels like a job. “I just feel like part of the family.” They joke: “You think you’re going back to Scotland? No, you’re staying here!” She gives English lessons, helps with the housework, meets the children from school, plays chess or table tennis with them, and takes them to the park. “It never feels like work,” she says. “It has been absolutely the perfect match.” Faulkner’s son, Steven, who lives in London, has visited her and they have cycled around the northern Italian lakes. She feels no more distant than when she lived in Edinburgh.
“You have to take the opportunity when it presents itself,” Jim once said.
“I’ll be 70 in January but in my head, I’m 30. I still feel the same person, I have the same enthusiasm for life, the same interest in people and things. In that sense, I wish I had another 70,” Faulkner jokes.
4. Why did Joyce Faulkner search the Home Exchange website?
A. To hunt for a job. B. To buy a house in Italy.
C. To explore holiday resorts. D. To find a holiday home for exchange.
5. What probably caused Faulkner to be hired by Rachele?
A. Good luck. B. Mutal trust.
C. Common interests. D. First impression.
6. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Faulkner feels less close to her son
B. Faulkner feels quite at home while babysitting in Italy.
C. Faulkner returned to her old business despite her advanced years.
D. Faulkner was thought of as a typical baby-sitter at the first meeting.
7. Which of the following can best describe Joyce Faulkner?
A. Caring and outgoing. B. Strict and responsible.
C. Devoted and passionate. D. Humorous and independent.
C
Turkmenistan is a country in Central Asia, near Afghanistan and Iran. In Darvaza, one of its villages, there is a very interesting feature. It is a massive hole in the ground-about 20 metres (65 feet) deep and 60 metres (196 feet) across. The enormous pit has been on fire for more than 50 years.
Why is the crater on fire? The most popular theory is that in 1971 a team of geologists from the then-Soviet Union were drilling in the country’s Karakum Desert to try to find gas. The ground under the drill collapsed and methane (甲烷) gas began to escape into the air. The geologists decided the safest thing to do was to burn off the gas by lighting it on fire. They thought the fire would burn for only a few weeks. However, it has been burning steadily for more than 50 years.
According to a BBC article, Canadian explorer George Kourounis discovered in 2013 that “no one actually knows how this… inferno came to be.” But, now the crater may finally be extinguished.
Turkmenistan’s president, Mr. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, has asked scientists in the country to figure out how to put out the burning crater. He went on the country’s state-run television station on January 8 to encourage experts to find a way to stop the fire.
One of the reasons he wants the crater to be put out is that the country can collect the gas that fuels it. Gas is a very important and valuable resource and can be used for many purposes. If it’s just burning off, the gas cannot be used or sold. According to the website Vice.com, the crater sits on the fourth largest reserve of natural gas in the world. Another reason the president may want the crater put out is to stop the harmful effects, to humans and the environment, of the burning gas.
8. Why did the geologists light the crater?
A. To test the quality of the gas.
B. To exhaust the underground gas.
C. To prevent explosion of the gas.
D. To stop the escape of the gas.
9. What does the underlined word “inferno” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The article. B. The theory. C. The fire. D. The president.
10. What does Turkmenistan’s president want to do?
A. To protect the crater.
B. To find the reason of the fire.
C. To seek help from the public.
D. To exploit and use the gas.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Fire Crater May Soon Be Put Out
B. A Peculiar Scenic Spot in Turkmenistan
C. The Crater Burning for Fifty Years
D. The Harmful Effects of the Burning Gas
D
People with high levels of niacin, also known as vitamin B3, in their blood may be more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those with lower levels. Excessive amounts of the vitamin, which is routinely added to fortified food and can be taken as a supplement, may inflame blood vessels.
Heart attacks and stroke are leading causes of death worldwide. While researchers have made significant strides over the past few decades in discovering the risk factors for these conditions, they haven’t identified them all.
In an effort to fill these gaps, Stanley Hazen at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and his colleagues collected blood samples from 2331 adults in the US and 832 adults in Europe who had elected to undergo cardiovascular screenings. The team analysed the samples for substances called metabolites, byproducts of metabolic processes such as digestion. The researchers then tracked incidents of cardiac events, such as heart attacks and strokes, among the participants over three years.
They found that people with elevated levels of a metabolite called 4PY, which only arises when the body breaks down excess niacin, were around 60 percent more likely, on average, to experience such an event than those with lower levels. And it was found in further experiment that 4PY causes blood vessel inflammation, a major contributor to the development of heart disease, in rodents.
It isn’t uncommon for people to have high niacin levels, Hazen says. This is partially due to certain foods, such as cereals and flours, being routinely fortified with the vitamin in countries that include the UK and the US. Niacin supplements are also increasingly popular as evidence suggests they have anti-ageing benefits, says Hazen. Plus, it wasn’t until recently that doctors stopped prescribing high-dose niacin to people at risk of cardiovascular disease, as it was initially thought the vitamin protected people from these conditions by lowering cholesterol.
“I think this study really shows that sometimes, when it comes to vitamins, you can have too much of a good thing,” says Jenny Jia at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. However, this research was mainly conducted in people of European ancestry. It is therefore unclear if similar results would occur in people of different racial or ethnic backgrounds, says Jia.
12. What is presented in paragraph 3?
A. Theoretical models. B. Research procedures.
C. Practical examples. D. Historical findings.
13. What does the underlined phrase “such an event” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Increased 4PY. B. Extra niacin.
C. Blood vessel inflammation. D. Cardiovascular diseases.
14. What might not be the reason for people to have high niacin levels?
A. Having niacin supplement is fashionable. B. Food with niacin can rapid aging.
C. Certain vitamins are added to foods. D. Niacin was prescribed to people.
15. What attitude might Jia have to the study?
A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.

At 67, Joyce Faulkner thought she was looking for a holiday. Her husband, Jim, had recently died and exploring possible house swaps on the Home Exchange website felt less painful. In the end, it was not a vacation Faulkner found but a job. She left her home in Edinburgh to become mother’s help to seven-year-old twins in Varese, Italy.
“It’s halfway crazy,” she says. A house swap she was interested in didn’t work out, but the owner, Rachele, asked: “‘Do you know anyone who might help me with the children?’ I wrote back and said: ‘Tell me what that involves!’ She wrote me a little list, and I said: ‘I could do that!’ We seemed to believe in each other.”
Two months later, when Faulkner reached Varese, “the dad, Andrea, was walking towards me with the children hiding behind his legs, kind of shy, thinking: ‘Who is this woman in a long black coat?’ I don’t think it was quite Mary Poppins, but the atmosphere was immediately warm and friendly.”
Eighteen months on, Faulkner’s job no longer feels like a job. “I just feel like part of the family.” They joke: “You think you’re going back to Scotland? No, you’re staying here!” She gives English lessons, helps with the housework, meets the children from school, plays chess or table tennis with them, and takes them to the park. “It never feels like work,” she says. “It has been absolutely the perfect match.” Faulkner’s son, Steven, who lives in London, has visited her and they have cycled around the northern Italian lakes. She feels no more distant than when she lived in Edinburgh.
“You have to take the opportunity when it presents itself,” Jim once said.
“I’ll be 70 in January, but in my head, I’m 30. I still feel the same person, I have the same enthusiasm for life, the same interest in people and things. In that sense, I wish I had another 70,” Faulkner jokes.
4. Why did Joyce Faulkner search the Home Exchange website?
A. To hunt for a job. B. To buy a house in Italy.
C. To explore holiday resorts. D. To find a holiday home for exchange.
5. What probably caused Faulkner to be hired by Rachele?
A. Good luck. B. Mutal trust.
C. Common interests. D. First impression.
6. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Faulkner feels less close to her son
B. Faulkner feels quite at home while babysitting in Italy.
C. Faulkner returned to her old business despite her advanced years.
D. Faulkner was thought of as a typical baby-sitter at the first meeting.
7. Which of the following can best describe Joyce Faulkner?
A. Caring and outgoing. B. Strict and responsible.
C. Devoted and passionate. D. Humorous and independent.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C

Turkmenistan is a country in Central Asia, near Afghanistan and Iran. In Darvaza, one of its villages, there is a very interesting feature. It is a massive hole in the ground-about 20 metres (65 feet) deep and 60 metres (196 feet) across. The enormous pit has been on fire for more than 50 years.
Why is the crater on fire? The most popular theory is that in 1971, a team of geologists from the then-Soviet Union were drilling in the country’s Karakum Desert to try to find gas. The ground under the drill collapsed and methane (甲烷) gas began to escape into the air. The geologists decided the safest thing to do was to burn off the gas by lighting it on fire. They thought the fire would burn for only a few weeks. However, it has been burning steadily for more than 50 years.
According to a BBC article, Canadian explorer George Kourounis discovered in 2013 that “no one actually knows how this… inferno came to be.” But, now the crater may finally be extinguished.
Turkmenistan’s president, Mr. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, has asked scientists in the country to figure out how to put out the burning crater. He went on the country’s state-run television station on January 8 to encourage experts to find a way to stop the fire.
One of the reasons he wants the crater to be put out is that the country can collect the gas that fuels it. Gas is a very important and valuable resource and can be used for many purposes. If it’s just burning off, the gas cannot be used or sold. According to the website Vice.com, the crater sits on the fourth largest reserve of natural gas in the world. Another reason the president may want the crater put out is to stop the harmful effects, to humans and the environment, of the burning gas.
8. Why did the geologists light the crater?
A. To test the quality of the gas.
B. To exhaust the underground gas.
C. To prevent explosion of the gas.
D. To stop the escape of the gas.
9. What does the underlined word “inferno” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The article. B. The theory. C. The fire. D. The president.
10. What does Turkmenistan’s president want to do?
A. To protect the crater.
B. To find the reason of the fire.
C. To seek help from the public.
D. To exploit and use the gas.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Fire Crater May Soon Be Put Out
B. A Peculiar Scenic Spot in Turkmenistan
C The Crater Burning for Fifty Years
D. The Harmful Effects of the Burning Gas
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍土库曼斯坦积极寻求方法,希望能够熄灭燃烧的火山口。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The ground under the drill collapsed and methane (甲烷) gas began to escape into the air. The geologists decided the safest thing to do was to burn off the gas by lighting it on fire. They thought the fire would burn for only a few weeks.(钻头下的地面塌陷,甲烷气体开始泄漏到空气中。地质学家们认为最安全的办法是用火烧掉这些气体。他们认为大火只会燃烧几个星期)”可知,这些地质学家决定点燃气体,为了把这些地下气体耗尽。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Why is the crater on fire? (为什么火山口着火了?)”及本段内容可知,这一段虽然在解释这个火山口的形成,但仅仅是一种最流行的理论。由此推知,这位探险家的意思是“没有人真正知道这个大火是如何形成的”。由此可知,划线词inferno指的是上文提到的“大火”。故选C 。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“One of the reasons he wants the crater to be put out is that the country can collect the gas that fuels it.(他希望火山口被清除的原因之一是该国可以收集燃料天然气)”可知,这个总统想要收集为其提供燃料的气体,因为它有多种用途,可以开发和使用。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文可知,文章介绍了火山口的形成,目的是通过对这漫长燃烧过程的强调,引出第三段文章的重点“But, now the crater may finally be extinguished.(但是,现在这个陨石坑可能最终会消失)”,形成一种长时间燃烧与终于被扑灭的对比。由此可知,“The Fire Crater May Soon Be Put Out(火山口可能很快就会被扑灭)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
D
People with high levels of niacin, also known as vitamin B3, in their blood may be more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those with lower levels. Excessive amounts of the vitamin, which is routinely added to fortified food and can be taken as a supplement, may inflame blood vessels.
Heart attacks and stroke are leading causes of death worldwide. While researchers have made significant strides over the past few decades in discovering the risk factors for these conditions, they haven’t identified them all.
In an effort to fill these gaps, Stanley Hazen at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and his colleagues collected blood samples from 2331 adults in the US and 832 adults in Europe who had elected to undergo cardiovascular screenings. The team analysed the samples for substances called metabolites, byproducts of metabolic processes such as digestion. The researchers then tracked incidents of cardiac events, such as heart attacks and strokes, among the participants over three years.
They found that people with elevated levels of a metabolite called 4PY, which only arises when the body breaks down excess niacin, were around 60 percent more likely, on average, to experience such an event than those with lower levels. And it was found in further experiment that 4PY causes blood vessel inflammation, a major contributor to the development of heart disease, in rodents.
It isn’t uncommon for people to have high niacin levels, Hazen says. This is partially due to certain foods, such as cereals and flours, being routinely fortified with the vitamin in countries that include the UK and the US. Niacin supplements are also increasingly popular as evidence suggests they have anti-ageing benefits, says Hazen. Plus, it wasn’t until recently that doctors stopped prescribing high-dose niacin to people at risk of cardiovascular disease, as it was initially thought the vitamin protected people from these conditions by lowering cholesterol.
“I think this study really shows that sometimes, when it comes to vitamins, you can have too much of a good thing,” says Jenny Jia at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. However, this research was mainly conducted in people of European ancestry. It is therefore unclear if similar results would occur in people of different racial or ethnic backgrounds, says Jia.
12. What is presented in paragraph 3?
A. Theoretical models. B. Research procedures.
C. Practical examples. D. Historical findings.
13. What does the underlined phrase “such an event” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Increased 4PY. B. Extra niacin.
C. Blood vessel inflammation. D. Cardiovascular diseases.
14. What might not be the reason for people to have high niacin levels?
A. Having niacin supplement is fashionable. B. Food with niacin can rapid aging.
C. Certain vitamins are added to foods. D. Niacin was prescribed to people.
15. What attitude might Jia have to the study?
A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于血液中烟酸含量高的人可能比含量低的人更容易患心脏病或中风的一项研究。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“In an effort to fill these gaps, Stanley Hazen at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and his colleagues collected blood samples from 2331 adults in the US and 832 adults in Europe who had elected to undergo cardiovascular screenings. The team analysed the samples for substances called metabolites, byproducts of metabolic processes such as digestion. The researchers then tracked incidents of cardiac events, such as heart attacks and strokes, among the participants over three years. (为了填补这些空白,俄亥俄州克利夫兰诊所的Stanley Hazen和他的同事收集了2331名美国成年人和832名欧洲成年人的血液样本,这些成年人选择接受心血管筛查。研究小组分析了这些样本中被称为代谢物的物质,这是消化等代谢过程的副产品。然后,研究人员在三年的时间里追踪了参与者的心脏事件,比如心脏病发作和中风。)”可知,本段主要介绍了研究的程序步骤。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“The researchers then tracked incidents of cardiac events, such as heart attacks and strokes, among the participants over three years. (然后,研究人员在三年的时间里追踪了参与者的心脏病事件,比如心脏病发作和中风。)”说明研究人员追踪了参与者的心脏病事件,从而推知划线词句“They found that people with elevated levels of a metabolite called 4PY, which only arises when the body breaks down excess niacin, were around 60 percent more likely, on average, to experience such an event than those with lower levels. (他们发现,一种叫做4PY的代谢物水平升高的人比那些水平较低的人平均有60%的可能性经历such an event。)”其中划线部分指的是“心血管疾病”。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“It isn’t uncommon for people to have high niacin levels, Hazen says. This is partially due to certain foods, such as cereals and flours, being routinely fortified with the vitamin in countries that include the UK and the US. Niacin supplements are also increasingly popular as evidence suggests they have anti-ageing benefits, says Hazen. Plus, it wasn’t until recently that doctors stopped prescribing high-dose niacin to people at risk of cardiovascular disease, as it was initially thought the vitamin protected people from these conditions by lowering cholesterol. (Hazen说,人们体内烟酸含量高并不罕见。这在一定程度上是由于某些食物,如谷物和面粉,在包括英国和美国在内的国家经常添加维生素。Hazen说,烟酸补充剂也越来越受欢迎,因为有证据表明它们具有抗衰老的功效。此外,直到最近,医生才停止给有心血管疾病风险的人开大剂量的烟酸处方,因为人们最初认为维生素可以通过降低胆固醇来保护人们免受这些疾病的侵害。)”可知,人们烟酸水平高的原因有某些维生素被添加到食物中、服用烟酸补充剂是一种时尚以及烟酸是给人开的处方。原因中不包含B项,故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘I think this study really shows that sometimes, when it comes to vitamins, you can have too much of a good thing,’ says Jenny Jia at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. However, this research was mainly conducted in people of European ancestry. It is therefore unclear if similar results would occur in people of different racial or ethnic backgrounds, says Jia. (伊利诺斯州芝加哥西北大学的Jenny Jia说:‘我认为这项研究确实表明,有时候,当谈到维生素时,你可能是当作好东西吃得太多了。’然而,这项研究主要是在欧洲血统的人身上进行的。因此,还不清楚不同种族或民族背景的人是否会出现类似的结果,Jia说。)”可知,Jia对这项研究的态度是没有倾向性的,中立的。故选A项。
