A
If you want to get away from the summer crowds in European countries, choose the following places as your destinations.
Costa de la Luz, Spain
The 75 miles of Atlantic-facing southern coastline between Tarifa and the Guadiana River, near the border with Portugal, has temperatures that are a little cooler and hasn’t been fully developed. Highlights include the beautiful fishing village of El Rompido, the great food scene in the town of Cadiz and the wild beaches around Huelva (between Mazagón and Matalascañas).
St. Moritz, Switzerland
Less than two hours by car from Italy’s wildly popular Lake Como, the Swiss mountain town of St. Moritz makes for a quieter summertime lakeside escape. Most of the famous people are in St. Moritz during the winter time, but in summer, you can replace skiing along the surrounding Swiss Alps with boating, swimming and windsurfing on the town’s lake. Other enjoyable activities in the area include white water rafting, hiking and mountain biking.
The Camargue, France
The Camargue is a wild region of vast and empty beaches where white horses wander. You are alone on the beach if you wish, even in the peak summer months. During the summer, a sustainable beach club, L’Oyat Plage, even shows up on the sand, drawing the kitesurfing set. Accommodation ranges from a rural stay on a traditional cow or horse farm to the five-star hotel version of the farm stay at Le Mas de Peint.
Alentejo, Portugal
People are calling Alentejo “Europe’ s best-kept secret”. Alentejo’ s uninterrupted beach extends for nearly 28 miles and the remote settlements of Comporta and Melides are the perfect places to stay and rest from everyday life. In addition to its wonderful beach, the region is known for being Portugal’s largest wine producer as well as for having the most marked hiking paths in the country.
1. Where should visitors go to experience fishermen’s life in Costa de la Luz?
A. Cadiz. B. Huelva. C. El Rompido. D. Mazagón.
2. What are visitors recommended to do in St. Moritz in summer?
A. Ride a horse on the beach. B. Hike with sports celebrities.
C. Ski freely along mountains. D. Enjoy various sports on a lake.
3. What do the last two places have in common?
A. They have wonderful beaches. B. They host international kite events.
C. They are Portugal’s wine producers. D. They feature dangerous hiking paths.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A

A few years ago, Rachel Harder, a fourth-grade teacher, attended a trauma (精神创伤) conference. She learned that some police stations partnered with schools so they could let teachers know when one of their students had a police encounter, something that could cause the student to need extra care or attention.
“I loved this idea and figured there had to be a way to make this work within my own classroom community,” Rachel said.
A year after the conference, Rachel had a student with autism (自闭症) who frequently had tough days. To support her, Rachel told the student’s mother to simply text her “handle with care” to let her know when it was going to be one of those days.
“I knew that when she texted me, it meant that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet location, not the gym for morning announcements, so that the rest of her day went smoothly,” Rachel said.
The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents. It explained what the “Handle with Care” system was and how they could take advantage of it. In no time, parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel’s incredible act of kindness.
But Rachel’s kindness didn’t end with her class. News about the amazing system spread, and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own classrooms. Printouts can be found on the Smart School House website, and the feedback (反馈) has been extremely positive!
“The parents just let me know it was a hard morning for their children,” Rachel said. “I don’t need to know details but parents like that know I’m keeping an extra eye on them.”
Rachel added, “Even though teachers can sometimes tell when a student is having a tough day by the way they’ re acting, these simple texts allow educators to make minor adjustments in advance that in turn make the whole day better for everyone.”
4. Why does the author write paragraph 1?
A. To show many students are mentally unhealthy.
B. To introduce the inspiration for Rachel’s system.
C. To analyze the causes of students’ health problems.
D. To emphasize parents should understand their kids.
5. How might Rachel treat the girl student with tough days?
A. By communicating with her for a long time. B. By taking her to the gym for announcements.
C. By driving her back home as soon as possible. D. By giving her some time alone in a quiet place.
6. What can we learn about Rachel’s “Handle with Care” system?
A. It is well received. B. It ends with her class.
C. It still confuses parents. D. It needs further testing.
7. What do Rachel’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Students are responsible for their own health.
B. It’s easy to tell if a student is having a tough day.
C. Educators needn’t always comfort their students.
D. The reminder of students’ emotional problems matters.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了四年级教师Rachel Harder受警察与学校合作模式的启发,在班级推行“小心呵护”系统并取得成功,该系统还在全国传播。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A few years ago, Rachel Harder, a fourth-grade teacher, attended a trauma (精神创伤) conference. She learned that some police stations partnered with schools so they could let teachers know when one of their students had a police encounter, something that could cause the student to need extra care or attention.(几年前,四年级教师Rachel Harder参加了一个创伤学会议。她了解到一些警察局与学校合作,这样当学生与警察有接触时,他们可以让老师知道,这种情况可能会导致学生需要额外的照顾或关注)”和第二段中Rachel Harder的话“I loved this idea and figured there had to be a way to make this work within my own classroom community(我喜欢这个想法,我想一定有一种方法可以在我自己的课堂社区中实现这一目标)”可推知,第一段是为了介绍Rachel的“小心呵护”系统的灵感来源,即源于她在参加的创伤学会议中了解到的警校合作。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“I knew that when she texted me, it meant that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet location, not the gym for morning announcements, so that the rest of her day went smoothly(我知道当她给我发短信时,这意味着她的女儿需要一些额外的时间和一个安静的地方,而不是去体育馆参加早间通告,这样她一天剩下的时间才能顺利度过)”可知,Rachel会让这个女孩在安静的地方独处一段时间。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“In no time, parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel’s incredible act of kindness.(很快,家长们就开始对瑞秋令人难以置信的善举表示感激)”和第六段中“News about the amazing system spread, and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own classrooms. Printouts can be found on the Smart School House website, and the feedback (反馈) has been extremely positive!(关于这个惊人系统的消息传开了,全国各地的教师开始在自己的课堂上尝试使用它。在智能学校之家网站上可以找到相关打印资料,反馈非常积极!)”可知,Rachel的“小心呵护”系统很受欢迎。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Rachel的话“Even though teachers can sometimes tell when a student is having a tough day by the way they’ re acting, these simple texts allow educators to make minor adjustments in advance that in turn make the whole day better for everyone.(尽管老师们有时可以通过学生的行为判断出他们什么时候过得不好,但这些简单的短信让教育工作者能够提前做出一些小调整,从而让每个人的一整天都过得更好)”可知,最后一段中Rachel的话表明对学生情绪问题的提醒很重要。故选D项。
C
The industrial solvent (溶剂) trichloroethylene (TCE) was once an ingredient in the process of removing caffeine from coffee. However, it was banned by the food industry in the 1970s.
Despite that, it is still a necessary element in some household products, such as cleaning wipes, tool cleaners, paint removers, carpet cleaners and spot removers. In the United Kingdom, dry cleaners stopped using it in the mid-1950s, but according to Public Health England, it still plays a necessary part in metal cleaning.
A global study in 2021 found TCE increased the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves. It is said that the harmful chemical was fueling rising numbers of cases of Parkinson’s disease across the world.
About one million people in the US currently suffer from the condition. Doctors diagnose (诊断) 60,000 Americans each year. Brian Grant, who played for 12 years in the NBA, was diagnosed at the age of 36. The study authors say he was exposed to TCE when he was just three years old. He lived with his father, a US Marine at Camp Lejeune where TCE has been found polluting the military base. Amy Lindberg was similarly exposed there while serving as a US Navy captain. She was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 40 years later. The study also details others whose condition was the result of living close to a polluted site or working with the chemical directly.
The US alone is home to thousands of polluted sites. Researchers say the country needs to speed up cleaning and controlling efforts. They argue that TCE should be further limited in use and be replaced by other chemicals as soon as possible. Besides, TCE levels in groundwater, drinking water, soil, and outdoor and indoor air require closer monitoring, and the information needs to be shared with those who live and work near polluted sites.
8. What makes TCE a necessary element in household products?
A. Its environment-friendly property. B. Its easy availability in daily life.
C. Its outstanding cleaning ability. D. Its power of ensuring product safety.
9. What did the global study in 2021 show?
A. The young tended to develop Parkinson’s disease. B. TCE and Parkinson’s disease were closely related.
C Parkinson’s disease was caused by complex factors. D. Parkinson’s disease proved more deadly than before.
10. What can be known about Brian Grant and Amy Lindberg mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. They fell sick shortly after joining the US Navy. B. They worked with the chemical of TCE directly.
C. They suffered because of their exposure to TCE. D. They were diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease early.
11. Which of the following shows the researchers’ opinion?
A. TCE levels in the air are impossible to monitor. B. Measures of handling TCE should be stricter.
C. The use of chemicals requires more freedom. D. Efforts to replace TCE have proven very simple.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,一种常用于清洁产品的化学物质TCE会增加人们患帕金森病的风险。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Despite that, it is still a necessary element in some household products, such as cleaning wipes, tool cleaners, paint removers, carpet cleaners and spot removers. In the United Kingdom, dry cleaners stopped using it in the mid-1950s, but according to Public Health England, it still plays a necessary part in metal cleaning. (尽管如此,它仍然是一些家用产品中的必要元素,如清洁湿巾、工具清洁剂、除漆剂、地毯清洁剂和除斑剂。在英国,干洗店在20世纪50年代中期停止使用它,但据英国公共卫生部称,它在金属清洁中仍然起着必要的作用。)”可知,TCE有不错的清洁能力,因此它成为家用产品中必不可少的元素。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“A global study in 2021 found TCE increased the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves. It is said that the harmful chemical was fueling rising numbers of cases of Parkinson’s disease across the world. (2021年的一项全球研究发现,TCE增加了患帕金森病的风险,帕金森病是一种影响神经系统和神经控制的身体部位的进行性疾病。据说,这种有害化学物质正在助长世界各地帕金森病病例的增加。)”可知,2021年的一项全球性研究发现,TCE会增加人们患帕金森病的风险,换言之,TCE和帕金森病密切相关。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Brian Grant, who played for 12 years in the NBA, was diagnosed at the age of 36. The study authors say he was exposed to TCE when he was just three years old. He lived with his father, a US Marine at Camp Lejeune where TCE has been found polluting the military base. Amy Lindberg was similarly exposed there while serving as a US Navy captain. She was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 40 years later. (布莱恩·格兰特在NBA打了12年球,36岁时被诊断出患有此病。该研究的作者说,他三岁时就接触过TCE。他与父亲住在勒琼营地,父亲是一名美国海军陆战队员,在那里发现TCE污染了军事基地。艾米·林德伯格在担任美国海军上尉期间也同样暴露在那里。40年后,她被诊断出患有帕金森病。)”可知,第四段提到的这两个人都因为曾经接触TCE而被诊断患有帕金森病。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Researchers say the country needs to speed up cleaning and controlling efforts. They argue that TCE should be further limited in use and be replaced by other chemicals as soon as possible. Besides, TCE levels in groundwater, drinking water, soil, and outdoor and indoor air require closer monitoring, and the information needs to be shared with those who live and work near polluted sites. (研究人员表示,该国需要加快清洁和控制工作。他们认为,应进一步限制TCE的使用,并尽快用其他化学品取代。此外,地下水、饮用水、土壤以及室外和室内空气中的TCE水平需要更密切的监测,这些信息需要与在污染场地附近生活和工作的人共享。)”可知,研究人员们建议采取多种措施摆脱使用TCE和检测生活中的TCE含量。由此可推断,研究人员们会赞同“处理TCE的措施应该更严格。”这一观点。故选B。
D
“We’ve lost the idea of nurses as authority figures,” author Sarah DiGregorio writes in her new book Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change the World.
As nurses today fight for better pay and more respect for their work, DiGregorio points out in the book that centuries ago, they were regarded as an essential part of the health care system in many civilizations - they received respect for their knowledge and skills in treating the sick, dating back to ancient times in India and the Islamic world.
Both doctors and nurses had to have knowledge about medications, but it was the nurses who cared for patients directly, according to Charaka-Samhita, a key Indian medical text from 2,000 years ago. They had to have hands-on skills with patients as well as good character, kindness and interpersonal skills. In the 600s. public health care became very important in the early Islamic world. The hospitals had professional nurses, both men and women.
The opening of new medical schools in Europe during the Middle Ages led in an age that slowly pushed women nurses out of medicine and health care. The new medical schools, which only allowed men, started turning out a new professional class of physicians who were all men with social status, DiGregorio observes. Only those with a license from one of these medical schools could practice medicine. She cites scenes from court cases where popular women nurses were tried and punished.
Florence Nightingale is often credited as a force in recovering the importance of nurses, but her vision of the profession had negative impacts that have remained to this day, argues DiGregorio. “Nightingale viewed nursing as an all-female profession that was subordinate to physicians, which set up this idea that nurses were assistants to physicians,” writes DiGregorio.
“Nightingale took her orders from the physicians and never challenged their authority. If a physician had not ordered water for a dying man, she would not give the man water,” writes DiGregorio, who draws her findings from nursing historians who have studied Nightingale.
12. What did nurses do according to an old Indian medical text?
A. They provided direct patient care. B. They strictly followed doctors' orders.
C. They refused to learn about medications. D. They guided doctors to practice medicine.
13. What phenomenon is mainly described in paragraph 4?
A. Men nurses were slowly disappearing. B. The nursing profession was competitive.
C. Women nurses were losing their power. D. Nursing schools in Europe decreased.
14. What do the underlined words “subordinate to” in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Taking interest in. B. Less important than.
C. Paying no attention to. D. Closely connected with.
15. From which is the text most probably taken?
A. An introduction to a new book. B. A report on an author's experience.
C. An essay on the importance of nursing. D. A history book of a famous nurse's stories.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要简介了Sarah DiGregorio的新书,其内容是护士这一职业的历史演变过程。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Both doctors and nurses had to have knowledge about medications, but it was the nurses who cared for patients directly, according to Charaka-Samhita, a key Indian medical text from 2,000 years ago. (医生和护士都必须了解药物,但根据2000年前印度重要的医学文献《查拉卡-萨姆希塔》的说法,直接照顾病人的是护士。)”可知,根据一篇古老的印度医学文献记载,当时的护士直接护理病人。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The hospitals had professional nurses, both men and women. (医院里有专业的护士,男女都有。)”及第四段,尤其是“She cites scenes from court cases where popular women nurses were tried and punished. (她引用了一些法庭案件的场景,在这些案件中,受欢迎的女护士受到审判和惩罚。)”可推断,第四段主要描述了女护士渐渐失去她们的权力的现象。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后非限定性定语从句“which set up this idea that nurses were assistants to physicians (建立了护士是医生助手的观念)”可推断,南丁格尔认为护理是一种全女性的职业,从属于医生。画线词subordinate为“次要的;从属的”之意。 故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““We’ve lost the idea of nurses as authority figures,” author Sarah DiGregorio writes in her new book Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change the World. (我们已经失去了护士作为权威人物的观念,”作家Sarah DiGregorio在她的新书《护理:护理的故事及其改变世界的力量》中写道。)”及通读全文,尤其是文中出现的关键词 writes可推断,本文选自对一本新书的介绍。故选A。

My apartment was on the second floor of a duplex (复式公寓), and one rainy day I slipped on the top step and started falling over. Then I just kept telling myself, “I’m okay.” ___19___ There were only a few scratches (擦伤) on my legs. I believe to this day that it was the simple positive self-talk that helped keep me from being seriously injured.
Positive self-talk can also help you calm down from anxiety and feel less sad. There was a period of time when I felt upset. Every morning, I woke up and said to myself, “Hi, Barton. You’re going to have a good day today.” ___20___ When I did it throughout the day, fewer things would bother me, and I became friendlier to myself.
A. In fact, that’s not always the case.

It also makes the once-beautiful beach dirty and smelly, greatly affecting local tourism. Moreover, it poses a potential threat to public health as the polluted sea might contaminate seafood.
I firmly protest against this environmental destruction. I sincerely hope you can take prompt actions to halt the pollution and carry out effective remediation.
Yours sincerely,

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,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。
The Christmas season could only really begin once my grandparents arrived for their annual December visit. The moment they pulled into our driveway, our home would light up with their love and delight in spending time with their family.
Grandma, in particular, made the season more joyful. She’d sing Christmas songs as she wrapped gifts and addressed her hand-painted cards. We would bake chocolate cookies and read stories in front of the Christmas tree. On Christmas Eve, we’d sing Silent Night on the ride home from church.
Years passed, and Grandma shared our traditions with my three children, her great-grandchildren. They learned how to make chocolate cookies from her. They read the same Christmas stories, sitting on Grandma’s lap.
As for us, Grandma was always positive and her presence assured us that everything would be OK. She kept telling us that she would always be with us.
However, in February 2019, 90-year-old Grandma was diagnosed with a serious illness. In April, her health went from bad to worse quickly. I knew it was time to say goodbye, but I was unwilling to accept what was happening — I was afraid of losing Grandma and I couldn’t imagine the following Christmas seasons without her.
In May 2019, I had to say goodbye to Grandma. She wasn’t able to speak or respond, but I could tell she was listening. I said, “Grandma, send me a sign that you’ re with us.”
Months went by, I hadn’t seen any sign — I knew there wouldn’t be any.
Soon, the Christmas season arrived, and I had almost forgotten about watching for Grandma’s sign. But my family and I felt a sense of emptiness in the season without her. We tried baking chocolate cookies, but they turned out flat and didn’t taste good enough. We sang Silent Night, but it sounded off-key. The Christmas season flew by without a moment of enjoying our family holiday traditions.
On Christmas Eve day I saw our mail carrier deliver a dozen of cards to our mailbox, but I was busy with preparations before Christmas. “I’ll collect them tomorrow,” I thought.
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。
On Christmas morning, I walked to the mailbox and grabbed the cards.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the bottom of the card, I saw the date “March 2019”.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
On Christmas morning, I walked to the mailbox and grabbed the cards. As I flipped through them, one caught my eye. It was a hand-painted card with a familiar design. My heart skipped a beat when I realized it was from Grandma. The card had a picture of a Christmas tree, which reminded me of the times that we spent together. Inside, she had written a message that said, “Merry Christmas, my dear family. I’m always with you.” Tears filled my eyes as I read the words that felt like a warm hug from her.
At the bottom of the card, I saw the date “March 2019”. I remembered that she had made these cards before she got sick. It was her way of sending us a sign, just as I had asked. The card was a reminder that she would always be a part of our lives. That Christmas, we baked cookies again, and this time, they turned out perfect. We sang Silent Night, and it sounded beautiful. To our delight, Grandma’s love was still with us, making our traditions special once more.

A
If you want to get away from the summer crowds in European countries, choose the following places as your destinations.
Costa de la Luz, Spain
The 75 miles of Atlantic-facing southern coastline between Tarifa and the Guadiana River, near the border with Portugal, has temperatures that are a little cooler and hasn’t been fully developed. Highlights include the beautiful fishing village of El Rompido, the great food scene in the town of Cadiz and the wild beaches around Huelva (between Mazagón and Matalascañas).
St. Moritz, Switzerland
Less than two hours by car from Italy’s wildly popular Lake Como, the Swiss mountain town of St. Moritz makes for a quieter summertime lakeside escape. Most of the famous people are in St. Moritz during the winter time, but in summer, you can replace skiing along the surrounding Swiss Alps with boating, swimming and windsurfing on the town’s lake. Other enjoyable activities in the area include white water rafting, hiking and mountain biking.
The Camargue, France
The Camargue is a wild region of vast and empty beaches where white horses wander. You are alone on the beach if you wish, even in the peak summer months. During the summer, a sustainable beach club, L’Oyat Plage, even shows up on the sand, drawing the kitesurfing set. Accommodation ranges from a rural stay on a traditional cow or horse farm to the five-star hotel version of the farm stay at Le Mas de Peint.
Alentejo, Portugal
People are calling Alentejo “Europe’ s best-kept secret”. Alentejo’ s uninterrupted beach extends for nearly 28 miles and the remote settlements of Comporta and Melides are the perfect places to stay and rest from everyday life. In addition to its wonderful beach, the region is known for being Portugal’s largest wine producer as well as for having the most marked hiking paths in the country.
1 Where should visitors go to experience fishermen’s life in Costa de la Luz?
A. Cadiz. B. Huelva. C. El Rompido. D. Mazagón.
2. What are visitors recommended to do in St. Moritz in summer?
A. Ride a horse on the beach. B. Hike with sports celebrities.
C. Ski freely along mountains. D. Enjoy various sports on a lake.
3. What do the last two places have in common?
A. They have wonderful beaches. B. They host international kite events.
C. They are Portugal’s wine producers. D. They feature dangerous hiking paths.
B
A few years ago, Rachel Harder, a fourth-grade teacher, attended a trauma (精神创伤) conference. She learned that some police stations partnered with schools so they could let teachers know when one of their students had a police encounter, something that could cause the student to need extra care or attention.
“I loved this idea and figured there had to be a way to make this work within my own classroom community,” Rachel said.
A year after the conference, Rachel had a student with autism (自闭症) who frequently had tough days. To support her, Rachel told the student’s mother to simply text her “handle with care” to let her know when it was going to be one of those days.
“I knew that when she texted me, it meant that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet location, not the gym for morning announcements, so that the rest of her day went smoothly,” Rachel said.
The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents. It explained what the “Handle with Care” system was and how they could take advantage of it. In no time, parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel’s incredible act of kindness.
But Rachel’s kindness didn’t end with her class. News about the amazing system spread, and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own classrooms. Printouts can be found on the Smart School House website, and the feedback (反馈) has been extremely positive!
“The parents just let me know it was a hard morning for their children,” Rachel said. “I don’t need to know details but parents like that know I’m keeping an extra eye on them.”
Rachel added, “Even though teachers can sometimes tell when a student is having a tough day by the way they’ re acting, these simple texts allow educators to make minor adjustments in advance that in turn make the whole day better for everyone.”
4. Why does the author write paragraph 1?
A. To show many students are mentally unhealthy.
B. To introduce the inspiration for Rachel’s system.
C. To analyze the causes of students’ health problems.
D. To emphasize parents should understand their kids.
5. How might Rachel treat the girl student with tough days?

The industrial solvent (溶剂) trichloroethylene (TCE) was once an ingredient in the process of removing caffeine from coffee. However, it was banned by the food industry in the 1970s.
Despite that, it is still a necessary element in some household products, such as cleaning wipes, tool cleaners, paint removers, carpet cleaners and spot removers. In the United Kingdom, dry cleaners stopped using it in the mid-1950s, but according to Public Health England, it still plays a necessary part in metal cleaning.
A global study in 2021 found TCE increased the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves. It is said that the harmful chemical was fueling rising numbers of cases of Parkinson’s disease across the world.
About one million people in the US currently suffer from the condition. Doctors diagnose (诊断) 60,000 Americans each year. Brian Grant, who played for 12 years in the NBA, was diagnosed at the age of 36. The study authors say he was exposed to TCE when he was just three years old. He lived with his father, a US Marine at Camp Lejeune where TCE has been found polluting the military base. Amy Lindberg was similarly exposed there while serving as a US Navy captain. She was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 40 years later. The study also details others whose condition was the result of living close to a polluted site or working with the chemical directly.
The US alone is home to thousands of polluted sites. Researchers say the country needs to speed up cleaning and controlling efforts. They argue that TCE should be further limited in use and be replaced by other chemicals as soon as possible. Besides, TCE levels in groundwater, drinking water, soil, and outdoor and indoor air require closer monitoring, and the information needs to be shared with those who live and work near polluted sites.
8. What makes TCE a necessary element in household products?
A. Its environment-friendly property. B. Its easy availability in daily life.
C. Its outstanding cleaning ability. D. Its power of ensuring product safety.
9. What did the global study in 2021 show?
A. The young tended to develop Parkinson’s disease. B. TCE and Parkinson’s disease were closely related.
C. Parkinson’s disease was caused by complex factors. D. Parkinson’s disease proved more deadly than before.
10. What can be known about Brian Grant and Amy Lindberg mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. They fell sick shortly after joining the US Navy. B. They worked with the chemical of TCE directly.
C. They suffered because of their exposure to TCE. D. They were diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease early.
11. Which of the following shows the researchers’ opinion?
A. TCE levels in the air are impossible to monitor. B. Measures of handling TCE should be stricter.
C. The use of chemicals requires more freedom. D. Efforts to replace TCE have proven very simple.
D
“We’ve lost the idea of nurses as authority figures,” author Sarah DiGregorio writes in her new book Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change the World.
As nurses today fight for better pay and more respect for their work, DiGregorio points out in the book that centuries ago, they were regarded as an essential part of the health care system in many civilizations - they received respect for their knowledge and skills in treating the sick, dating back to ancient times in India and the Islamic world.
Both doctors and nurses had to have knowledge about medications, but it was the nurses who cared for patients directly, according to Charaka-Samhita, a key Indian medical text from 2,000 years ago. They had to have hands-on skills with patients as well as good character, kindness and interpersonal skills. In the 600s. public health care became very important in the early Islamic world. The hospitals had professional nurses, both men and women.
The opening of new medical schools in Europe during the Middle Ages led in an age that slowly pushed women nurses out of medicine and health care. The new medical schools, which only allowed men, started turning out a new professional class of physicians who were all men with social status, DiGregorio observes. Only those with a license from one of these medical schools could practice medicine. She cites scenes from court cases where popular women nurses were tried and punished.
Florence Nightingale is often credited as a force in recovering the importance of nurses but her vision of the profession had negative impacts that have remained to this day, argues DiGregorio. “Nightingale viewed nursing as an all-female profession that was subordinate to physicians, which set up this idea that nurses were assistants to physicians,” writes DiGregorio.
“Nightingale took her orders from the physicians and never challenged their authority. If a physician had not ordered water for a dying man, she would not give the man water,” writes DiGregorio, who draws her findings from nursing historians who have studied Nightingale.
12. What did nurses do according to an old Indian medical text?
A. They provided direct patient care. B. They strictly followed doctors' orders.
C. They refused to learn about medications. D. They guided doctors to practice medicine.
13. What phenomenon is mainly described in paragraph 4?
A. Men nurses were slowly disappearing. B. The nursing profession was competitive.
C. Women nurses were losing their power. D. Nursing schools in Europe decreased.
14. What do the underlined words “subordinate to” in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Taking interest in. B. Less important than.
C. Paying no attention to. D. Closely connected with.
15. From which is the text most probably taken?
A. An introduction to a new book. B. A report on an author's experience.
C. An essay on the importance of nursing. D. A history book of a famous nurse's stories.

47. 阅读下面材料,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。
The Christmas season could only really begin once my grandparents arrived for their annual December visit. The moment they pulled into our driveway, our home would light up with their love and delight in spending time with their family.
Grandma, in particular, made the season more joyful. She’d sing Christmas songs as she wrapped gifts and addressed her hand-painted cards. We would bake chocolate cookies and read stories in front of the Christmas tree. On Christmas Eve, we’d sing Silent Night on the ride home from church.
Years passed, and Grandma shared our traditions with my three children, her great-grandchildren. They learned how to make chocolate cookies from her. They read the same Christmas stories, sitting on Grandma’s lap.
As for us, Grandma was always positive and her presence assured us that everything would be OK. She kept telling us that she would always be with us.
However, in February 2019, 90-year-old Grandma was diagnosed with a serious illness. In April, her health went from bad to worse quickly. I knew it was time to say goodbye, but I was unwilling to accept what was happening — I was afraid of losing Grandma and I couldn’t imagine the following Christmas seasons without her.
In May 2019, I had to say goodbye to Grandma. She wasn’t able to speak or respond, but I could tell she was listening. I said, “Grandma, send me a sign that you’ re with us.”
Months went by, I hadn’t seen any sign — I knew there wouldn’t be any.
Soon, the Christmas season arrived, and I had almost forgotten about watching for Grandma’s sign. But my family and I felt a sense of emptiness in the season without her. We tried baking chocolate cookies, but they turned out flat and didn’t taste good enough. We sang Silent Night, but it sounded off-key. The Christmas season flew by without a moment of enjoying our family holiday traditions.
On Christmas Eve day, I saw our mail carrier deliver a dozen of cards to our mailbox, but I was busy with preparations before Christmas. “I’ll collect them tomorrow,” I thought.
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。
On Christmas morning, I walked to the mailbox and grabbed the cards.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the bottom of the card, I saw the date “March 2019”.
