But Farber is certain he'll have the last laugh. He's one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine — combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber's treatments eased her dog's suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well，” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That's my job.” (说明：文中加蓝词汇为主题词汇) [真题评价] [价值导向]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。兽医William Farber走在时代前列，笑对生活，奉行中西医结合的整体医学疗法，用针灸、按摩等方式医治动物并取得了良好疗效。本文兽医William Farber笑到最后，多行善举的人生态度会激励学生以乐观的心态去面对生活，树立积极向上的人生观。 √ 1．What do some of Farber's coworkers think of him? A．He's odd. B．He's strict. C．He's brave. D．He's rude. 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“I am not crazy”以及第三句中的“...some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods”可知，Farber的一些同事认为他很怪异(odd)。 √ 2．Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A．He was trained in it at university. B．He was inspired by another veterinarian. C．He benefited from it as a patient. D．He wanted to save money for pet owners. 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，20年前有段时间Farber背部疼痛难忍，用药无效后尝试接受中医针灸治疗，并取得很好的治疗效果。他受到启发，经过多年研习后，将此疗法应用于动物，故选C。 3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B．The complexity of veterinarians' work. C．Examples of rare animal diseases. D．The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 解析：段落大意题。第三段通过两个具体的治疗案例说明整体医学疗法医治动物的有效性，故选D。 √ √ 4．Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A．To prove Farber's point. B．To emphasize its importance. C．To praise veterinarians. D．To advocate animal protection. 解析：推理判断题。从最后一段可知，兽医William Farber确信整体医学将会越来越受欢迎。自1982年以来，美国整体医疗兽医协会会员人数的增长印证了这一观点，故选A。 [语篇精读] 一、理文脉，把握文章大意 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，语篇结构为“总—分—总”。 二、拓词汇，厚积语基语料

We know you could use a laugh right now — and luckily, several thousands of you told us all about the books, stories and poems that make you laugh. We took your votes and with the help of our panel (专家小组) of expert judges we created this list of 100 reads designed to make you laugh out loud.Want slice-of-life essays? Loopy poetry? Texts from famous literary figures? Scroll down — we've got it all. As with all our reader polls, this is a curated (精心筹划的) list and not a straight-up popularity contest; unlike last year, you'll see the books are grouped into categories rather than ranked from 1 to 100. And, as always, there are a few things that didn't make the list — surprisingly, Shakespeare didn't get enough votes to make it to the semifinals.Then there were books that didn't quite stand the test of time, or were so new we couldn't tell whether they'd stand up. Some of the authors on this list are incredibly popular, and you voted them in over and over again.Because space is limited, we try to hold each author to one spot on the list, but there are some exceptions such as Nora Ephron, who our judges thought was perfect. And speaking of our judges, you will find a couple of their works on the list this year — we don't let judges vote for their own works, but readers loved works such as Samantha Irby's We Are Never Meeting in Real Life, so the panel agreed they should stay. Laughter is the best medicine.Just click here and start reading! 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章向读者推荐了可以让他们开怀大笑的100本文学作品。 √ 1．How is the list of this year different from that of last year? A．More books are included. B．It is made all by readers. C．It mainly focuses on poetry. D．The listed books are classified. 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“As with all our reader polls ...to 100.”可知，今年的榜单和去年不同的是所列出的书是分好类的。 √ 2．What can we learn about Nora Ephron? A．She fails to stand the test of time. B．She is not so popular as other authors. C．She gets more than one spot on the list. D．She belongs to the panel of expert judges. 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中“Because space is limited, we try to ...our judges thought was perfect.”可知，Nora Ephron在榜单上得到了不止一个位置。 √ 3．Why is We Are Never Meeting in Real Life kept on the list? A．It is written by a judge. B．It reflects real life. C．It gets enough readers' votes. D．It attracts the experts. 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And speaking of our judges, you will find a couple of their works ...so the panel agreed they should stay.”可知，因为《我们在现实生活中从未谋面》得到了足够多的读者投票，所以它上榜了。 B (2025·苏锡常镇四市一模)I grew up hearing that it is better to give than to receive, and the older I get, the more I aim to take this message to heart.Nevertheless, here I am, in the midst of the holiday season, stressed out about gifts I have not yet purchased. How does gift buying become an emotionally fraught chore (苦差事)? For a moment, it's easy to question if it's worth it.But science tells me that giving makes us feel good. “The act of giving actually does improve your happiness，” says Michael Norton, a psychologist at Harvard Business School.He has published several studies on the effects of giving. In one experiment that included about 700 people, the researchers randomly assigned participants to make either a purchase for themselves, or for a stranger.Afterwards, the participants reported how happy they felt.It turns out that giving to others led to a significant happiness boost, whereas spending on oneself didn't move the needle. “If you take $5 out of your pocket today, the science really does show that spending $5 on yourself doesn't do much for you，” Norton says.“But spending that $5 on somebody else is more likely to increase your happiness.” “Take scarves for example.If you buy one for yourself, it's just another thing you don't necessarily need.But if you buy a scarf for someone else, you've shown them that they're important to you，” Norton says.Either way, it's just a scarf.“But it can either be a throwaway object or something that enhances a relationship between two people，” he says. So, there's evidence that generosity promotes happiness, but the process of shopping, wrapping and schlepping (搬) gifts can be tiresome — or even extremely annoying considering all of our day-to-day demands and other holiday stressors. Studies also show when people are given something they are more likely to give back.Reciprocity (互惠) is a foundation of good relationships and when we surround ourselves with generous people, we tend to feel the same.Feeling that spirit of giving and the connection it can bring is what the holidays are all about. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了给予能够带来幸福。 √ 4．Why does the author mention his own experience in paragraph 1? A．To make a prediction. B．To introduce the topic. C．To present a reason. D．To clarify a concept. 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“I grew up hearing that ...yet purchased.”可知，第一段讲述了作者因为节日期间买礼物的事情感到很有压力。接着第二段“How does gift buying become ...feel good.”承上启下，作者从买礼物的经历引出如下观点：科学表明，给予让人感觉良好。下文围绕这一观点展开。由此可推测出，第一段提到作者自己的经历是为了引出话题。 √ 5．How does Norton illustrate his opinion in paragraphs 5 and 6?

Acknowledge the difficulties. Cheerfulness is an honest emotion because you're not hiding from reality. 9 Instead, it's extremely important to be honest with yourself about the problems you're facing.Only by first acknowledging that things are tough will you be able to find ways to cope. Don't focus on the negative. Whether in your personal life or in society, it's easy to focus on what's going wrong.But whatever you focus on, it grows.If you decide to focus on what's going wrong, those problems will grow in your mind until they consume you. 10 Be grateful for what you have. 11 Usually, they're the things we take for granted until they're no longer there, such as good health, a loving family, or even something as simple as a beautiful sunrise.Being grateful will shift your perspective and make it easier to see the silver linings of your problems. 12 No cheerfulness without laughter.So you can watch comedies, browse memes, or joke around with friends.Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts your mood, makes you feel less pain, and protects you from stress.Laughter is cathartic (精神宣泄的) and infectious.Laugh and brighten the room. A．Find your sense of humour. B．Deal with difficulties seriously. C．Focus on the good things you have. D．To a large degree, cheerfulness is a choice. E．You're not covering your eyes and looking away.
