Matt Doogue, a 34-year-old nature photographer, had been suffering from depression when he first found his passion for taking pictures of insects and his work is now featured in National Geographic. He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting rock bottom. “In the beginning, I was so paranoid (多疑的) and angry that I couldn’t leave the house,” says Doogue. “When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone. I went to the doctors and got treatment, but I know that I needed something more and that’s when I started photography.”
Now a dad of two, Doogue found that looking at insects through a camera helped him in ways he could never have imagined and it proved to be the lifeline he needed. It had a calming effect that helped him to disconnect from stress. And his astonishing images, showing insects and spiders in amazing detail against brightly colored backgrounds, caught the eye of publishers at National Geographic. “I ended up as one of their featured photographers,” recalled Doogue. “It was the peak of my career. It was incredible.”
Originally from Salford, Greater Manchester, he now lives in Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. Though he fears that Scotland is in the middle of an epidemic of male suicide, he believes that sharing his love of nature photography can help others to cope with their mental health issues as well. “I think the problem is this man-up approach; the idea that men need to be strong puts so much pressure on young males to be fine all the time,” says Doogue. “This is why I try and be so open about my own experience. Whenever I am out with my camera, I don’t think about my other worries. It is just me and the environment around me. You can lose yourself in a spider making its web.”
4. What does the underlined phrase “hit rock bottom” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Be in the worst possible situation. B. Reach the bottom of a valley.
C. Crash into the lowest part of a rock. D. Launch an attack on the rock bottom.
5. How did photography benefit Doogue?
A. It gave him a new way to express himself. B. It helped him to escape from pressure.
C. It provided him with life-saving skills. D. It offered him an opportunity to explore nature.
6. What caused Scottish men to develop mental health problems?
A. The way men employ to solve problems. B. The lack of love for men’s life and work.
C. The worry that men get separated from people. D. The belief that men are expected to be strong.
7. What is the main purpose of the author in writing the text?
A. To warn the severity of mental problems. B. To show the benefits of nature photography.
C. To advise readers to get close to nature. D. To introduce Doogue’s fighting against depression.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. D
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述自然摄影师Matt Doogue通过拍摄挽救了抑郁的自己,并通过分享他的作品和经历,鼓励和帮助更多患有心理健康疾病的人。

Drinking three to four cups of coffee a day may reduce your risk of liver cancer and other alcohol-related liver diseases, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at the coffee habits of more than 494,000 people in the UK Biobank, a biomedical database, and monitored their liver health over 11 years. Participants ranged from 40 to 69 years old, with 384,818 saying they were enthusiastic coffee drinkers, and 109,767 saying they were not.
Coffee drinkers were 21% less likely to develop chronic (慢性的) liver disease, 20% less likely to develop chronic or fatty liver disease, and 49% less likely to die of chronic liver disease than non-coffee drinkers, according to the study published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Public Health. “It confirms in a large UK cohort (一群人) that coffee drinking is protective against severe liver disease,“ said Prof. Paul Roderick, a co-author of the study from the University of Southampton.
People who drank ground caffeinated (含有啡非因的) or decaffeinated coffee saw the most benefits, while some reduction in risks was also found in instant coffee drinkers. The maximum benefit was found in people who drank three to four cups a day; any higher consumption didn’t show additional benefits, according to the study.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is most common in people who are overweight or have diabetes, high cholesterol or high triglycerides. The disease affects up to 25% of people in the United States, according to the American Liver Foundation. Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, according to the World Cancer Research Fund. The rate of liver cancer since 1980 has more than doubled, aceording to the American Cancer Society.
Vanessa Hebditch, of the British Liver Trust, said that the study results further prove the theory that coffee is good for liver health. “However, it’s important that people improve their liver health not just by drinking coffee,” she said, “but by also cutting down on alcohol and keeping to a healthy weight by exercising and eating well.”
One of the major limitations to the study is that the participants were asked only about their coffee consumption at one point in time and then monitored for their health. For example, if someone changed their daily coffee intake from one to four cups of coffee a day over the 11-year period, researchers weren’t able to take that into account.
“The study raises the issue that drinking coffee might be an effective intervention (干预) to prevent severe liver disease in those at high risk,” Rodercki said.
8. What did the study find about coffee drinkers?
A. They could benefit more by drinking more coffee.
B. They preferred caffeinated coffee to instant coffee.
C. They may have a healthier liver than non-coffee drinkers.
D. They had difficulty changing the way they drank coffee.
9. What does Vanessa Hebditch advise people to do?
A. To avoid drinking coffee at night. B. To drink coffee after doing exercise.
C. To reduce weight by drinking coffee. D. To improve liver health in many ways.
10. What is the main limitation of the study?
A. It failed to monitor participants closely.
B. It only focused on participants’ coffee consumption.
C. It may affect the coffee consumption in the future.
D. It may ignore the changes in participants’ coffee intake.
11. What is Rodercki’s attitude towards the study?
A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明,每天喝三到四杯咖啡可以降低患肝癌和其他与酒精有关的肝脏疾病的风险。文章介绍了研究开展的过程、研究发现以及人们对此研究的看法。
【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Coffee drinkers were 21% less likely to develop chronic (慢性的) liver disease, 20% less likely to develop chronic or fatty liver disease, and 49% less likely to die of chronic liver disease than non-coffee drinkers, according to the study published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Public Health.(周一发表在同行评议期刊《BMC公共卫生》上的这项研究显示,与不喝咖啡的人相比,喝咖啡的人患慢性肝病的可能性低21%,患慢性或脂肪肝的可能性低20%,死于慢性肝病的可能性低49%)”可知,喝咖啡的人的肝脏可能比不喝咖啡的人更健康。故选C。
【9题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Vanessa Hebditch, of the British Liver Trust, said that the study results further prove the theory that coffee is good for liver health. “However, it’s important that people improve their liver health not just by drinking coffee,” she said, “but by also cutting down on alcohol and keeping to a healthy weight by exercising and eating well.”(英国肝脏基金会的Vanessa Hebditch说,研究结果进一步证明了咖啡对肝脏健康有益的理论。“然而,重要的是,人们不仅要通过喝咖啡来改善肝脏健康,”她说,“还要减少饮酒,通过锻炼和饮食来保持健康的体重。”)”可知,Vanessa Hebditch建议人们以多种方式改善肝脏健康。故选D。
【10题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“One of the major limitations to the study is that the participants were asked only about their coffee consumption at one point in time and then monitored for their health. For example, if someone changed their daily coffee intake from one to four cups of coffee a day over the 11-year period, researchers weren’t able to take that into account.(该研究的主要局限性之一是,参与者只被问及他们在某个时间点的咖啡摄入量,然后监测他们的健康状况。例如,如果有人在11年的时间里将每天的咖啡摄入量从1杯改变为4杯,研究人员就无法考虑到这一点)”可知,本研究的主要局限性是可能忽略了参与者咖啡摄入量的变化。故选D。
【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段““The study raises the issue that drinking coffee might be an effective intervention (干预) to prevent severe liver disease in those at high risk,” Rodercki said.( Rodercki说:“这项研究提出了一个问题,那就是喝咖啡可能是一种有效的干预措施,可以预防高危人群患上严重的肝脏疾病。”)”可推知,Rodercki对研究的态度是支持的。故选B。

The humble honey bee is responsible for up to 80 per cent of plant pollination (授粉) worldwide. But population numbers are in steep decline because of habitat loss, pesticides and pollution — threatening our food security. One startup has identified a potential solution — the common hoverfly (食蚜蝇).
UK-based designer Tashia Tucker has created an AI-based technology called Olombria, which encourages hoverflies to increase their pollination levels to match that of bees. Although flies perform approximately 30 percent of the world’s pollination, they aren’t as efficient as bees, often getting distracted and “wandering off” before they can carry pollen between plants.
Olombria is a solution — an AI pollination system that encourages hoverflies to pollinate targeted sites when the plants are in bloom (鲜花盛开). The system consists of sensors, cameras and chemical signaling devices placed within specified areas of an orchard or field. It starts by collecting data on the level and diversity of pollinators in a grower’s field as well as pollination effectiveness.
This information, combined with other environmental data — time, the location and temperature, allows the system to paint an overall picture of pollinator health and then take action. “We first provide that baseline data,” Tucker explains, “so we have an understanding of where there are deficiencies (缺乏) and areas that need to be improved, and then we distribute our natural chemical signaling from the device.”
Depending on what areas of an orchard need pollinating, Olombria’s AIcloud system triggers chosen devices to release organic chemicals that encourage hoverflies to move towards those specific areas. “The chemicals do not change what the flies would naturally do, but target their location and increase the amount of pollen that they’re picking up and transferring,” Tucker explains.
The hoverflies work in cooperation with the bees and, through Tucker’s research, she’s found that the hoverflies even encourage bees to become more efficient pollinators. “There’s a bit of competition; it focuses the bees’ pollination as there’s another insect in the area,” says Tucker.
As a designer, Tucker initially designed Olombria’s device to look like a fruit to reflect the ethos (气质) of the design. “When I started working with farmers, I knew I needed to design the technology to be strong enough to stay out in the field and in various weather conditions,” says Tucker. Since then, Tucker has changed the design and is exploring what colors work well with insects. “As we start to streamline the technology, it is becoming more refined,” Tucker explains. “As an AI system, it’s great, as it’s just getting smarter as the technology develops.”
12. Why are hoverflies not so efficient at plant pollination?
A. Most of them don’t know how to pollinate plants.
B. They can hardly focus on their pollinating work.
C. They have great difficulty carrying pollen.
D. The population of them is declining.
13. What does Olombria first do to encourage hoverflies to pollinate plants?
A. Take pictures of plants in a field. B. Examine overall plant health there.
C. Choose chemical signaling devices. D. Get basic facts about pollinators there.
14. What is the purpose in releasing organic chemicals?
A. To attract hoverflies to a certain area. B. To change pollinators’ behavior.
C. To make pollen attractive to hoverflies. D. To locate the position of pollinators.
15. Why did Tucker make changes to her design?
A. To deal with pollination crisis quickly. B. To make it attractive in appearance.
C. To meet the demands of AI systems. D. To make it as practical as possible.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一家初创公司通过一种名为Olombria的人工智能技术,鼓励食蚜蝇提高授粉水平,以匹配蜜蜂的授粉水平。
【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Although flies perform approximately 30 percent of the world’s pollination, they aren’t as efficient as bees, often getting distracted and “wandering off” before they can carry pollen between plants.(虽然食蚜蝇在世界上的授粉中占了大约30%,但它们的效率不如蜜蜂,在它们能够在植物之间传播花粉之前,经常会分心和“游荡”)”可知,食蚜蝇在植物授粉方面效率不高是因为它们几乎不能专注于授粉工作。故选B。
【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Olombria is a solution — an AI pollination system that encourages hoverflies to pollinate targeted sites when the plants are in bloom (鲜花盛开). The system consists of sensors, cameras and chemical signaling devices placed within specified areas of an orchard or field. It starts by collecting data on the level and diversity of pollinators in a grower’s field as well as pollination effectiveness. (Olombria是一个解决方案——一个人工智能授粉系统,鼓励食蚜蝇在植物开花时为目标地点授粉。该系统由传感器、摄像头和化学信号装置组成,放置在果园或田地的指定区域内。它首先收集有关种植者田间传粉媒介的水平和多样性以及传粉效率的数据)”可知,Olombria首先了解传粉昆虫的基本情况来鼓励食蚜蝇为植物授粉。故选D。
【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段“Depending on what areas of an orchard need pollinating, Olombria’s AIcloud system triggers chosen devices to release organic chemicals that encourage hoverflies to move towards those specific areas.(根据果园中需要授粉的区域,Olombria的AIcloud系统会触发选定的设备,释放有机化学物质,鼓励食蚜蝇向这些特定区域移动)”可知,释放有机化学品的目的是吸引食蚜蝇到某一区域。故选A。
【15题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段““When I started working with farmers, I knew I needed to design the technology to be strong enough to stay out in the field and in various weather conditions,” says Tucker.(Tucker说:“当我开始与农民合作时,我知道我需要设计出足够强大的技术,以便在野外和各种天气条件下都能使用。”)”可知,Tucker修改她的设计是为了使之尽可能实用。故选D。
二、写作
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。
Chris and I laughed as we got off the Tilt ‘n’ Spin ride and wandered into the crowd at the fair. We felt like we were still spinning (旋转).We inched along with the crowd, one small step at a time. In front of me, all I could see was the back of someone’s T-shirt.
“Three tickets each, please," said a man right in front of us. Bodies pushed against us. “Wait,” Chris said. “We’re in a line? What for?”
“Ferris wheel (摩天轮),” said the man. “Step right up and sit right down.”
Before I knew it, I was sitting on a small seat that was hung in what seemed like outer space. As we reached the top, Chris was excited. He was totally attracted by the amazing view, but I was rather nervous with my hands holding a bar for dear life.
“There’s a place that sells chocolate-covered bananas,” Chris said. “Keep talking,” I thought. “So you don’t notice that I’m totally terrified (极度惊恐的).” Every time Chris moved,our seat rocked. I tried to pretend I was playing on the swings in my backyard, and hoped I wouldn’t cry. “How many turns will this make before it’s over?” I managed to say. Luckily, my voice sounded normal. “Five or six, probably, Chris replied. “ We have tons of time. Look, a hot-air balloon!” He pointed and the seat shook. I cried. Chris looked at me. It seemed he’d realized something.
On our fifth time around, the wheel suddenly stopped, and we were hung in midair at the highest point possible. I cried, again. I couldn’t help myself. “Hey, Jared,” said Chris, “are you OK?” I nodded and tried to smile like I was having fun. Chris patted (轻拍) my shoulder and said we would be back on the ground soon.
“Attention!” called a voice over the loudspeaker. “Due to mechanical difficulties, the Ferris wheel is stuck. We’ll get it turning again as soon as possible.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I was so terrified that I couldn’t hold back my tears. I sobbed silently. “God bless me!” I got out between sobs. Stealing a glance at my feet, I couldn’t help screaming, “Help!” I held on to the bar as tightly as possible as if it was the last straw. “Jared, just close your eyes and have a deep breath. Imagine you are flying.” Chris’ soft voice dragged me into reality. He hugged my shoulders. I did as he told me and it worked. That was when the loudspeaker announced the Ferris wheel was normal. (84w)
We finally started heading back down. Hearing the wind whistling by, I closed my eyes again, my heart pounding heavily. Maybe sensing my fear, Chris patted me on the shoulder, saying, “Don’t fear. Open your eyes and look ahead. Enjoy it!” I nodded smilingly and did it. “Wow!” I blurted out. Never had I seen a more wonderful view ! It was the first time that I had overcome my fear high in the sky. I cast a grateful eye at Chris and grinned. So did he.
