Bathrooms and floors specifically, windows if the extra expense was reasonable. The gift, for me, was not so much in the cleaning itself but the fact that for once I would not be in charge of the household office work. I would not have to make the calls, get multiple quotes (报价), research and compare each service, arrange payment and schedule the appointment. The real gift I wanted was to be relieved of the emotional labor of a single task that had been nagging (唠叨) at the back of my mind. The clean house would simply be a bonus. My husband waited for me to change my mind to an “easier” gift than housecleaning, something he could one-click order on Amazon. Disappointed by my unwavering desire, the day before Mother’s Day he called a single service, decided they were too expensive, and promised to clean the bathrooms himself. He still gave me the choice, of course. He told me the high dollar amount of completing the cleaning services I requested (since I control the budget) and asked repeatedly if I still wanted him to book it. What I wanted was for him to ask friends on Facebook for a recommendation, call four or five more services, do the emotional labor I would have done if the job had fallen to me. I had wanted to hire out deep cleaning for a while, especially since my freelance (自由职业的) work had picked up considerably. The reason I hadn’t done it yet was part guilt over not doing my housework, and an even larger part of not wanting to deal with the work of hiring a service. I knew exactly how exhausting it was going to be. That’s why I asked my husband to do it as a gift. But, I was gifted a necklace for Mother’s Day while my husband stole away to deep sweep the bathrooms, leaving me to tend to our children as the rest of the house fell into total mess... 4. Why did the author request a housecleaning service for Mother’s Day? A. To reduce her husband’s financial burden. B. To force her husband to do some housework. C. To experience a pricey service for a special occasion. D. To treat herself to a break from household chores. 5. What does the underlined word “unwavering” in the 2nd paragraph mean? A. humble. B. firm. C. noble. D. dynamic. 6. What did the author’s husband decide to do the day before Mother’s Day? A. He determined to clean the bathroom himself. B. He searched relevant information online. C. He arranged for the service as a gift. D. He purchased a necklace instead as an apology. 7. How did the author feel about her husband’s final solution? A. She felt completely satisfied with it. B. She was disappointed but tried to understand him. C. She was relieved to see her problem solved. D. She felt being ignored with her real needs. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者要求丈夫订购一次房屋清扫服务作为母亲节礼物，以及她与丈夫围绕这一请求所展开的的一系列互动和对话。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The gift, for me, was not so much in the cleaning itself but the fact that for once I would not be in charge of the household office work. I would not have to make the calls, get multiple quotes (报价), research and compare each service, arrange payment and schedule the appointment. The real gift I wanted was to be relieved of the emotional labor of a single task that had been nagging (唠叨) at the back of my mind.(对我来说，礼物并不是打扫卫生本身，而是这一次我不用再负责家务了。我不需要打电话，获得多个报价，研究和比较每个服务，安排付款和安排约会。我真正想要的礼物，是摆脱脑中那个老是纠缠着我的情绪劳动。干净的房子只是额外的奖励)”可知，作者想要的母亲节礼物是房屋清扫服务，因为这样她就可以不必承担寻找服务、安排付款和预约等任务，从而得到情感上的解脱。因此，她请求房屋清扫服务是为了让自己从家务事中解脱出来，享受一段休息时间。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文的“My husband waited for me to change my mind to an ‘easier’ gift than housecleaning(我丈夫等着我改变主意，选择比打扫房间更‘容易’的礼物)”和“Disappointed(失望的)”可推测，丈夫等着作者改变主意，但令他失望的是作者对房屋清扫服务的要求坚定不移，划线词unwavering为“坚定的”。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“the day before Mother’s Day he called a single service, decided they were too expensive, and promised to clean the bathrooms himself.(在母亲节的前一天，他打电话给一家服务公司，认为他们太贵了，并承诺自己打扫浴室)”可知，在母亲节前一天作者的丈夫决定自己打扫浴室，故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The real gift I wanted was to be relieved of the emotional labor of a single task that had been nagging (唠叨) at the back of my mind. The clean house would simply be a bonus.(我真正想要的礼物，是摆脱脑中那个老是纠缠着我的情绪劳动。打扫干净的房子只是额外的奖励)”可知，作者真正想要的礼物是从繁琐的家务中解脱出来，而根据文章最后一段“But, I was gifted a necklace for Mother’s Day while my husband stole away to deep sweep the bathrooms, leaving me to tend to our children as the rest of the house fell into total mess...(但是，当我丈夫偷偷地去彻底打扫浴室时，我收到了母亲节的礼物一条项链，留下我照顾我们的孩子，而房子的其他地方则陷入了一团糟……)”可知，她的丈夫最终决定自己打扫浴室，而作者仍然需要照顾孩子，家里的其他地方则变得一团糟。由此可推测，作者认为自己丈夫忽视了自己真正的需求。故选D。 C A new report connects eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease. The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy. The study collects data from six other earlier studies. It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the number of eggs a person ate each day increased by half an egg. Norrina Allen, an associate professor at Northwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally one of the top sources of cholesterol (胆固醇) in a person’s daily food. People with higher levels of cholesterol in their food are at increased risk of the development of heart disease later in life. However, Allen added that she would not say that eggs are completely unhealthy. “I’m not saying that people should take them completely out of their food,” she said. “I’m just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount.” Some experts believe the new study does not prove that eggs are causing heart disease. “Cholesterol’s role in the development of heart disease has been discussed for more than 30 years,” said Dennis Bruemmer, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point,” he added. Bruemmer said, “Eggs in moderation (适度) are probably acceptable from a nutritional standpoint.” “Moderation,” he added, “is less than one egg a day, including eggs in foods such as bread.” Holly Andersen, a doctor at the New York-Presbyterian/ Weill Cornell Medical Center, agrees that the study has “real shortcomings”. One problem Andersen has with the study is that a lot of the egg-eating people in the study also appeared to be eating much meat and processed meat. “If you’re taking a lot of processed meat, it doesn’t matter how many eggs you’re eating,” Andersen said. Also, Andersen said, “The study can only show there is a relation between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannot prove eggs are the cause of the disease. It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also taking a lot of bacon.” 8. What does Norrina Allen agree with? A. Eggs are completely unhealthy. B. Eggs contain the most cholesterol. C. Eggs should be eaten in a right amount. D. Eggs have no connection with heart disease. 9. What is Bruemmer’s attitude towards the study? A. Interested. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Hopeful. 10. What can we learn from Holly Andersen’s words? A. Eggs and meat cannot be eaten together. B. Processed meat may cause heart disease. C. Processed meat should be avoided. D. The study is supported by evidence. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Do Eggs Cause Heart Disease? B. Are Eggs the Top Source of Cholesterol? C. What’s the Proper Amount of Eggs Eaten? D. Is the Cholesterol to Blame for Heart Disease? 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了鸡蛋与心脏病风险之间的关系，并引用了多位专家的观点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“I’m just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount.(我只是建议人们适量食用鸡蛋)”可知，Norrina Allen认为鸡蛋应该适量食用。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第3段“This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point,(这项研究确实有明显的缺点，包括在单一时间点的自我报告)”可推知，Bruemmer对这项研究持怀疑态度。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第5段“Holly Andersen, a doctor at the New York-Presbyterian/ Weill Cornell Medical Center, agrees that the study has “real shortcomings”. One problem Andersen has with the study is that a lot of the egg-eating people in the study also appeared to be eating much meat and processed meat.If you’re taking a lot of processed meat, it doesn’t matter how many eggs you’re eating,(纽约长老会/威尔·康奈尔医学中心的医生霍莉·安德森（Holly Andersen）同意这项研究具有“真正的缺点”。安德森（Andersen）对这项研究的一个问题是，研究中的许多人似乎也在吃很多肉和加工的肉。如果你摄入大量加工肉类，吃多少鸡蛋并不重要)”可知，Holly Andersen提到研究中食用鸡蛋较多的人群可能同时摄入大量加工肉类，并指出“若摄入大量加工肉，鸡蛋数量无关紧要”，暗示加工肉可能是心脏病的诱因。由此推知，加工肉类可能导致心脏病。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A new report connects eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease.(一份新报告将食用卵与心脏病的风险增加联系起来)”可知，本文主要讨论了鸡蛋与心脏病之间的关系，并引用了多位专家的观点。由此可知，最佳标题是“Do Eggs Cause Heart Disease?(鸡蛋会导致心脏病吗？)”。故选A。 D This is going to sound weird, but I want you to look closely for a moment at your thumbs. See how they bend flexibly forwards as well as back. The human thumb is not just a device for giving the thumbs-up sign or for picking up dropped keys. It is also one of the most efficient and sensitive tools in existence for determining the ripeness of fruit. However, most of us don’t use them that way anymore. One of the most striking things about eating in the modern world is that we act as if we were sense-blind. Our noses can distinguish fresh milk from sour milk, and yet we prefer to look at the use-by date rather than sniffing. Senses, wrote the late anthropologist Jack Goody, are “our windows on the world” —the main tools through which humans acquire information about our environments. But today, we have yielded many of the functions of our own senses to the modern food industry — which suits that industry just fine. A survey of 7,000 young people in 2011 found that most of them would be hypothetically (假设地) prepared to give up their sense of smell if it meant that they could keep their laptop or phone. In reality, it is not easy to live without a sense of smell. According to the survey data produced by Fifth Sense, more than half of the respondents having smell loss said that cooking had become a source of stress and anxiety because they could no longer experience the joy of trying new recipes, and could not easily tell when something was burned, which even increases feelings of loneliness and depression and leads to the breakdown of relationships. No human activity is more multi-sensory than eating, but to eat in the modern world is often to eat in a state of profound sensory disengagement. We order groceries on a computer, or takeaways on a phone, and they arrive wrapped in plastic, so that we can neither smell them nor see them before we take the first mouthful. 12. In which way we mostly don’t use our thumbs according to the author? A. Squeeze a fig. B. Push a button. C. Hold a fork. D. Pick a key. 13. Why does the author mention the survey in 2011? A. To show the addiction to the Internet. B. To focus on the senseless young people. C. To highlight the ignorance about senses. D. To introduce a popular and modern lifestyle. 14. What does the paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Daily troubles of sense loss. B. An uneasy world without senses. C. Mental concerns about sense loss. D. The robbed pleasure of cooking food. 15. What makes people lose sensory connection with food? A. A fast-paced modern lifestyle. B. Lessening interests about food. C. The development of computers. D. The convenient packaging technology. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了我们如何失去了与食物的感官联系。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is also one of the most efficient and sensitive tools in existence for determining the ripeness of fruit. (它也是目前确定水果成熟度的最有效和最灵敏的工具之一。)”和第二段中“However, most of us don’t use them that way anymore. (然而，我们大多数人不再那样使用它们了。)”可知，拇指可以用来确定水果成熟度，但是现在我们大多数人不再那样使用它们了，所以我们不常用拇指捏无花果来判断成熟度，故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。第三段首句“But today, we have yielded many of the functions of our own senses to the modern food industry — which suits that industry just fine. (但今天，我们已经将感官的许多功能让渡给了现代食品工业——这正好适合这个行业)。”提到，今天我们已经将感官的许多功能让渡给了现代食品工业，下文“A survey of 7,000 young people in 2011 found that most of them would be hypothetically (假设地) prepared to give up their sense of smell if it meant that they could keep their laptop or phone. (2011年，一项针对7000名年轻人的调查发现，如果能保留笔记本电脑或手机，他们中的大多数人都愿意放弃自己的嗅觉。)”提及一项调查证明上述观点，强调今天人们对感官的忽视，故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段内容，尤其是首句“In reality, it is not easy to live without a sense of smell.(在现实生活中，没有嗅觉是很不容易的)”和“ more than half of the respondents having smell loss said that cooking had become a source of stress and anxiety because they could no longer experience the joy of trying new recipes...（超过一半的嗅觉丧失的受访者表示，烹饪已经成为压力和焦虑的来源，因为他们再也无法体验到尝试新食谱的乐趣)”可知，本段主要讲述丧失嗅觉带来的一些心理负担，故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“No human activity is more multi-sensory than eating, but to eat in the modern world is often to eat in a state of profound sensory disengagement. We order groceries on a computer, or takeaways on a phone, and they arrive wrapped in plastic, so that we can neither smell them nor see them before we take the first mouthful. (没有什么人类活动比吃东西更具有多重感官，但在现代世界里，吃东西往往是在一种深刻的感官脱离状态下吃东西。我们在电脑上订购食品杂货，或在手机上订购外卖，它们被包裹在塑料里，所以在我们吃第一口之前，我们既闻不到也看不见它们。)”可知，现代快节奏的生活方式使人们失去了与食物的感官联系，故选A。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Self-disciplined people are not all outstanding people. ___16___ Some of them read every day.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了自律与自我管理对于拥有健康身体和实现目标的重要性。 【16题详解】 上文“Self-disciplined people are not all outstanding people.(自律的人并不都是优秀的人)”指出自律并不能保证成为优秀的人，F项“But nearly all outstanding people are self-disciplined people.(但几乎所有优秀的人都是自律的人)”承接上文，揭示自律与成为优秀的人的真正关系，进而引出下文关于自律重要性的探讨，句中“all outstanding people”对应下文中代词“them”。上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【17题详解】 上文“The real difference between an elite (杰出的) person and an ordinary person is that an elite person can manage his or her time well.(精英人士和普通人的真正区别在于，精英人士能很好地管理自己的时间)”提到精英能很好地管理自己的时间，B项“That’s where their success comes from.(这就是他们成功的来源)”承接上文，说明“manage his or her time well”的意义，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 【18题详解】 上文“Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that it’s not easy.(任何曾经尝试过减肥的人都知道这并不容易)”说明减肥不易，C项“It’s even harder to avoid putting weight back on.(要避免体重反弹就更难了)”承接上文话题，说明避免体重反弹更难，句中“even harder”表明上下文之间的递进关系，同时，这两句话与前文“Never underestimate (低估) someone who is in good shape.(永远不要低估身材好的人)”构成因果关系，说明不要低估身材好的人的原因。故选C项。 【19题详解】 上文“If someone is in good shape, it means that this person is good at managing themselves and their time.(如果一个人状态很好，这意味着这个人善于管理自己和自己的时间)”提出“管理自己和自己的时间”的能力，D项“Whether it is natural or acquired, it is a great skill.(无论是天生的还是后天习得的，这都是一项伟大的技能。)”承接上文，对此作出评价，句中代词“it”指代上文中“good at managing themselves and their time”，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据后文“First of all, set a goal and write down your reasons for wanting to achieve it. Create a list of all the things you need to do to achieve this goal and start to work on them one at a time. With self-discipline, small things in life will no longer trouble you. Only through self-discipline can you truly own your future.(首先，设定一个目标，并写下你想要实现它的原因。为实现这个目标，列出你需要做的所有事情，然后一次做一件。有了自律，生活中的小事情将不再困扰你。只有通过自律，你才能真正拥有自己的未来)”可知，本段的主旨是如何进行自我管理，故A选项“How do you learn self-management?(你如何学会自我管理？)”可以作为段首主题句。故选A项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 As a journalist, I was so excited to cover a new adventure to Qomolangma.

From high-end modeling shoots to heartwarming sibling photos and lovely birth announcements, we cover it all. Our studio is always busy, and as is stated on our website, we don’t accept walk-ins. With bookings scheduled six months in advance, it’s non-stop. One evening, just ten minutes before closing, a mother walked in with a young girl, around six or seven years old, following her. I felt quite annoyed — I really needed to close up. The mother said, “Hello. I know you’re closing soon, but I have a special favor to ask.” At that moment, the little girl peeked out from behind her mother’s legs, her eyes scanning nervously around the room. She glanced at the beautiful portraits of healthy, smiling children hanging on the walls, and the expression on her face was a mix of longing and self-consciousness. She seemed to know she didn’t look like the other kids in the photos. Under her thick winter coat and hat, she looked weak, with dark circles under her eyes. She had no hair, and a tube was taped to her cheek, feeding into her nose. It was clear she was very ill. The mother continued, her voice shaking, “My daughter saw one of your photos at the hospital. She used to be such a beautiful and lovely girl as those in your photos hanging on the walls, but she doesn’t look her best right now... Sir, I know you’re booked up, and the next appointment is months away, but I don’t know...” She started to cry. I realized that waiting for months was not a bet for this little girl. Seeing she held her mother’s hand tightly, I felt my heart soften. 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。 I took a deep breath and smiled gently at the little girl, making up my mind to do something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The little girl looked at the photos with a bright smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I took a deep breath and smiled gently at the little girl, making up my mind to do something. I told the mother not to worry and that I’d take pictures for her daughter right away. I quickly adjusted the lighting in the studio and chose a soft-colored backdrop. I fetched a beautiful princess-style dress and helped the little girl put it on. As she stood in front of the camera, I encouraged her to imagine herself as a fearless princess. Slowly, her nervousness faded away, and she began to pose with confidence, her eyes shining with a newfound light. The mother watched with a grateful smile on her face. The little girl looked at the photos with a bright smile. “I’m so pretty!” she exclaimed happily. The mother came over, tears of joy in her eyes. She thanked me repeatedly, saying these photos would be the most precious memory for her daughter. A few months later, I received a letter from the mother. It said the girl’s condition had improved significantly. In the end, I printed the best photo and sent it to them, hoping it would always bring the little girl strength and hope. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了一位摄影工作室老板在忙碌中为一位身患重病的小女孩拍摄照片的故事。他用爱心与专业，让小女孩感受到美丽与尊严，最终帮助她重拾信心与希望，也让自己深刻体会到摄影的意义与生命的珍贵。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我深吸一口气，温柔地对小女孩微笑，下定决心做点什么”可知，第一段可描写作者如何迅速调整心态，为小女孩精心布置拍摄场景，并通过鼓励让她逐渐放松并展现出自信的一面。 ②由第二段首句内容“小女孩看着照片，脸上露出灿烂的笑容”可知，第二段可描写拍摄完成后小女孩和母亲的喜悦反应，以及几个月后小女孩病情好转的消息，进一步体现这次拍摄的意义和影响。 2. 续写线索：决定帮忙——布置场景——鼓励小女孩——拍摄完成——小女孩展现笑容——母亲感激——收到后续消息 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①拍照：take pictures/take photos ②逐渐消失：fade away/disappear gradually ③呼喊；惊叫：exclaim/shout/cry out 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative ②高兴地：happily/joyfully/cheerfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】As she stood in front of the camera, I encouraged her to imagine herself as a fearless princess.(使用了as引导时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】She thanked me repeatedly, saying these photos would be the most precious memory for her daughter.(使用了现在分词saying 作状语和省略连接词that的宾语从句作saying的宾语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 丰城九中2024-2025学年下学期高二第一次段考英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟，试卷总分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What do we learn about the man?

Le Louvre, Paris, France A visit to the Louvre and its collections lets visitors discover Western art from the Middle Ages to 1848 as well as a large number of ancient civilizations. The grand palace that houses the museum. which dates back to the late twelfth century, is a true lesson in architecture: from 1200 to 2011, the most innovative architects have in turn built and developed the Louvre. ●Official website: Louvre ●Highlight: Leonardo da Vinci`s “Mona Lisa.” The British Museum, London, UK The British Museum in London was founded in 1753 and opened its doors six years later.

The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Russia The second-largest art museum in the world, the State Hermitage Museum was founded in 1764(200 years later than The Uffizi Galleries, Florence, Italy), when Empress Catherine the Great acquired an impressive collection of works from the Berlin merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky.

B For Mother’s Day I asked for one thing: a house cleaning service. Bathrooms and floors specifically, windows if the extra expense was reasonable. The gift, for me, was not so much in the cleaning itself but the fact that for once I would not be in charge of the household office work. I would not have to make the calls, get multiple quotes (报价), research and compare each service, arrange payment and schedule the appointment. The real gift I wanted was to be relieved of the emotional labor of a single task that had been nagging (唠叨) at the back of my mind. The clean house would simply be a bonus. My husband waited for me to change my mind to an “easier” gift than housecleaning, something he could one-click order on Amazon. Disappointed by my unwavering desire, the day before Mother’s Day he called a single service, decided they were too expensive, and promised to clean the bathrooms himself. He still gave me the choice, of course. He told me the high dollar amount of completing the cleaning services I requested (since I control the budget) and asked repeatedly if I still wanted him to book it. What I wanted was for him to ask friends on Facebook for a recommendation, call four or five more services, do the emotional labor I would have done if the job had fallen to me. I had wanted to hire out deep cleaning for a while, especially since my freelance (自由职业的) work had picked up considerably. The reason I hadn’t done it yet was part guilt over not doing my housework, and an even larger part of not wanting to deal with the work of hiring a service. I knew exactly how exhausting it was going to be. That’s why I asked my husband to do it as a gift. But, I was gifted a necklace for Mother’s Day while my husband stole away to deep sweep the bathrooms, leaving me to tend to our children as the rest of the house fell into total mess... 4. Why did the author request a housecleaning service for Mother’s Day? A. To reduce her husband’s financial burden. B. To force her husband to do some housework. C. To experience a pricey service for a special occasion. D. To treat herself to a break from household chores. 5. What does the underlined word “unwavering” in the 2nd paragraph mean? A. humble. B. firm. C. noble. D. dynamic. 6. What did the author’s husband decide to do the day before Mother’s Day? A. He determined to clean the bathroom himself. B. He searched relevant information online. C. He arranged for the service as a gift. D. He purchased a necklace instead as an apology. 7. How did the author feel about her husband’s final solution? A. She felt completely satisfied with it. B. She was disappointed but tried to understand him. C. She was relieved to see her problem solved. D. She felt being ignored with her real needs. C A new report connects eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease. The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy. The study collects data from six other earlier studies. It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the number of eggs a person ate each day increased by half an egg. Norrina Allen, an associate professor at Northwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally one of the top sources of cholesterol (胆固醇) in a person’s daily food. People with higher levels of cholesterol in their food are at increased risk of the development of heart disease later in life. However, Allen added that she would not say that eggs are completely unhealthy. “I’m not saying that people should take them completely out of their food,” she said. “I’m just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount.” Some experts believe the new study does not prove that eggs are causing heart disease. “Cholesterol’s role in the development of heart disease has been discussed for more than 30 years,” said Dennis Bruemmer, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point,” he added. Bruemmer said, “Eggs in moderation (适度) are probably acceptable from a nutritional standpoint.” “Moderation,” he added, “is less than one egg a day, including eggs in foods such as bread.” Holly Andersen, a doctor at the New York-Presbyterian/ Weill Cornell Medical Center, agrees that the study has “real shortcomings”. One problem Andersen has with the study is that a lot of the egg-eating people in the study also appeared to be eating much meat and processed meat. “If you’re taking a lot of processed meat, it doesn’t matter how many eggs you’re eating,” Andersen said. Also, Andersen said, “The study can only show there is a relation between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannot prove eggs are the cause of the disease. It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also taking a lot of bacon.” 8. What does Norrina Allen agree with? A. Eggs are completely unhealthy. B. Eggs contain the most cholesterol. C. Eggs should be eaten in a right amount. D. Eggs have no connection with heart disease. 9. What is Bruemmer’s attitude towards the study? A. Interested. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Hopeful. 10. What can we learn from Holly Andersen’s words? A. Eggs and meat cannot be eaten together. B. Processed meat may cause heart disease. C. Processed meat should be avoided. D. The study is supported by evidence. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Do Eggs Cause Heart Disease? B. Are Eggs the Top Source of Cholesterol? C. What’s the Proper Amount of Eggs Eaten? D. Is the Cholesterol to Blame for Heart Disease? D This is going to sound weird, but I want you to look closely for a moment at your thumbs. See how they bend flexibly forwards as well as back. The human thumb is not just a device for giving the thumbs-up sign or for picking up dropped keys. It is also one of the most efficient and sensitive tools in existence for determining the ripeness of fruit. However, most of us don’t use them that way anymore. One of the most striking things about eating in the modern world is that we act as if we were sense-blind. Our noses can distinguish fresh milk from sour milk, and yet we prefer to look at the use-by date rather than sniffing. Senses, wrote the late anthropologist Jack Goody, are “our windows on the world” —the main tools through which humans acquire information about our environments. But today, we have yielded many of the functions of our own senses to the modern food industry — which suits that industry just fine. A survey of 7,000 young people in 2011 found that most of them would be hypothetically (假设地) prepared to give up their sense of smell if it meant that they could keep their laptop or phone. In reality, it is not easy to live without a sense of smell. According to the survey data produced by Fifth Sense, more than half of the respondents having smell loss said that cooking had become a source of stress and anxiety because they could no longer experience the joy of trying new recipes, and could not easily tell when something was burned, which even increases feelings of loneliness and depression and leads to the breakdown of relationships. No human activity is more multi-sensory than eating, but to eat in the modern world is often to eat in a state of profound sensory disengagement. We order groceries on a computer, or takeaways on a phone, and they arrive wrapped in plastic, so that we can neither smell them nor see them before we take the first mouthful. 12. In which way we mostly don’t use our thumbs according to the author? A. Squeeze a fig. B. Push a button. C. Hold a fork. D. Pick a key. 13. Why does the author mention the survey in 2011? A. To show the addiction to the Internet. B. To focus on the senseless young people. C. To highlight the ignorance about senses. D. To introduce a popular and modern lifestyle. 14. What does the paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Daily troubles of sense loss. B. An uneasy world without senses. C. Mental concerns about sense loss. D. The robbed pleasure of cooking food. 15. What makes people lose sensory connection with food? A. A fast-paced modern lifestyle. B. Lessening interests about food. C. The development of computers. D. The convenient packaging technology. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Self-disciplined people are not all outstanding people. ___16___ Some of them read every day.

From high-end modeling shoots to heartwarming sibling photos and lovely birth announcements, we cover it all. Our studio is always busy, and as is stated on our website, we don’t accept walk-ins. With bookings scheduled six months in advance, it’s non-stop. One evening, just ten minutes before closing, a mother walked in with a young girl, around six or seven years old, following her. I felt quite annoyed — I really needed to close up. The mother said, “Hello. I know you’re closing soon, but I have a special favor to ask.” At that moment, the little girl peeked out from behind her mother’s legs, her eyes scanning nervously around the room. She glanced at the beautiful portraits of healthy, smiling children hanging on the walls, and the expression on her face was a mix of longing and self-consciousness. She seemed to know she didn’t look like the other kids in the photos. Under her thick winter coat and hat, she looked weak, with dark circles under her eyes. She had no hair, and a tube was taped to her cheek, feeding into her nose. It was clear she was very ill. The mother continued, her voice shaking, “My daughter saw one of your photos at the hospital. She used to be such a beautiful and lovely girl as those in your photos hanging on the walls, but she doesn’t look her best right now... Sir, I know you’re booked up, and the next appointment is months away, but I don’t know...” She started to cry. I realized that waiting for months was not a bet for this little girl. Seeing she held her mother’s hand tightly, I felt my heart soften. 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。 I took a deep breath and smiled gently at the little girl, making up my mind to do something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The little girl looked at the photos with a bright smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
