Doctors recently diagnosed (scurvy in two patients living in distant parts of the planet, one in Canada and one in Australia.The Australian case centers on a 51-year-old man.Doctors ran their first series of tests to check for intemal bleeding.as well as blood disorders.But none of their diagnostic tools offered any clues as to what was causing the man's illness.Doctors learned that the man was unemployed and living alone.He'd been eating mostly processed foods,and he had begun skipping meals more frequently in the weeks leading to his hospital visit.He received a weight loss surgery eight years earier but to save money,he stopped taking the nutrients that the doctor told him to take. Armed with this information,doctors ordered a new round of tests,which showed that the man had no detectable levels of Vitamin C in his system.Eventually,doctors diagnosed him with scurvy. Doctors in Canada described a similar experience this month in the Canadian Medical Association Joumal.A 65-year-old woman came to a Toronto hospital with leg weakness,and poor mobility. In both cases,doctors didn't routinely test for scurvy because they thought humans had got rid of scurvy."This is based on the condition that there is plentiful Vitamin C in our modem food supply, so deficiency should not occur,"says Lauren Ball,a community health researcher.Fortunately, Vitamin C deficiency is easy to treat. While doctors diagnosed 8.2 cases per 100,000 children in 2016,that number had increased to 26.7 per 100,000 by 2020.The average age of patients with scurvy was 2 years old.And in an analysis of nearly 13,000 Vitamin Ctests,29.9 percent of patients had a modest deficiency and 24.5 percent had a significant deficiency. 12.What did the doctors find after conducting their first series of tests on the man? A.The man once suffered from scurvy B.The man used to eat irregularly. C.Their diagnostic tools went wrong. D.Their test methods didn't work at all. 13.What's the doctors'initial attitude to the possibility of developing scurvy in both cases? A.Concemed. B.Dismissive. C.Doubtful. D.Negative. 14.What are the statistics in the last paragraph about conceming scurvy? A.Its features. B.Its variety C.Its trend. D.Its results. 15.What's the best title for the text? A.Scurvy:A New Problem? B.Scurvy:A Forgotten Illness? C.Scurvy:A Permanent Memory? D.Scurvy:An Easily-treated Disease? 高二英语试卷第4页共8页 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分125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，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all need to give and receive feedback for our work,which sometimes can be tricky.In fact,Confucius,way back in 500 BC,talked about the importance of expressing difficult messages well.However,a recent survey found that only 26 percent of subjects strongly agree that the feedback they get is effective and useful to their work.Either the feedback is so indirect and sof that the brain doesn't even recognize it or it's just too direct that it makes the other person unhappy and defensive. 16 Ask micro-yes questions. Propose your feedback by asking a question that is short but important.For instance,you can ask"Do you have five minutes for a brief discussion?"17 First,it lets the other person know that feedback is about to be given.Second,it offers some space for the other to refuse. Avoid blur(模糊)words. 18 To change this,try to say "You said you'd get that email to me by 11 a.m,and I still don't have it yet 4 p.m."instead of "You aren't reliable."The reason for that is that you want to specify exactly what you want the other person to do. State the impact. 19 For example,you might say,"Because I didn't get the message,I was blocked on my work and couldn't move forward"or"Ireally liked how you added those stories,because it helped me grasp the concepts faster."It gives others a sense of purpose and meaning and logic between the points. Wrap the feedback with a question. Great feedback givers tend to ask something like,"Well,how do you see it?"Or "This is what I'm thinking,but what are your thoughts on it?" 20 Instead,try to make it a joint problem-solving situation. Now that you know this approach,you can mix and mateh it to make it work for any difficult conversation. A.This can do two things for you. B.This makes your feedback effective. C.Make the conversation no longer a monologue(). D.Name exactly how the other person has influenced you. E.The following four methods can be employed to make your feedback direct. F.There's a mistaken tendency that we use vague,or not specific words for feedback. G.Here comes a four-part approach that you can adopt to say any difficult message well. 第二部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（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A、B, C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空自处的最佳选项。 One summer day,Sarah decided to go for a bike ride in the countryside.The sun was shining brightly,and the air was filled with the sweet smell of fresh flowers.She felt a great sense of21 as she bicycled along the winding path.
