B Two British professionals, film producer James Eden and acupuncturist (针灸医师) Gerad Kite, have co-authored a new book, The Untapped Self, making ancient Chinese medical philosophy accessible to today’s anxious global audience. Their joint work began when Eden first visited Kite’s London clinic for stress relief, unknowingly starting a journey that would later lead to this joint project. Kite, an experienced specialist with 35 years in the field, describes acupuncture(针灸） as “one of China’s greatest cultural gifts”. His experience with acupuncture in the 1980s San Francisco changed his life. He left his previous career and went to study under J.R. Worsley, who first brought Chinese acupuncture to the West. Kite uses an approach called five-element acupuncture. This approach works by fixing imbalances in the body to bring back its natural state of balance, not just by dealing with the symptoms. Since starting his London clinic in 1990, Kite has given about 50,000 treatments while teaching around 50 students each year. His new book shares ten patients’ stories showing how acupuncture’s philosophy helps people find calmer, more balanced lives. Co-author Eden brought his own special view—as a long-time meditation (冥想) enthusiast who spent six months at China’s Wudang Mountain learning tai chi and kung fu, which deepened his understanding of Chinese medicine. Both authors feel deeply thankful for China’s medical tradition and value China’s work in connecting traditional wisdom with modern science. “By supporting research,” Kite says, “China shows how ancient wisdom can work alongside modem medicine.” They see their purpose as sharing this healing knowledge, shown by traditional Chinese medicine’s growing worldwide reach through acupuncture, herbs and related practices. 24. What is the book The Untapped Self about? A. Health care. B. Scientific research. C. Film production. D. Personal biography. 25. What can we learn about Kite according to the passage? A. He taught 50 students in his London clinic. B. He devoted much effort to spreading acupuncture. C. He first experienced acupuncture with J.R. Worsley. D. He spent six months learning tai chi and kung fu in China. 26. What is Kite’s attitude towards China’s medical tradition? A. Proud and confident. B. Interested but doubtful. C. Respectful and grateful. D. Impressed but confused. 27. Which can best summarize the passage? A. A popular book, long effect. B. An ancient wisdom, deep impact. C. An acupuncture clinic, great value. D. A professional writer, good insight. C Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel. Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now rising sharply. That is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said distracted (分心) driving was “only increasing, unfortunately.” “Big change requires big ideas.” he said in a speech last month, referring broadly to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving. An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York’s hands-free driving laws. “We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state's 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, “people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.” 28. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers’ texting in the US? A. Ineffective. B. Unnecessary. C. Inconsistent. D. Unfair. 29. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out? A. Where a driver came from. B. How fast a driver was going. C. Whether a driver used their phone. D. When a driver arrived at the scene. 30. What does the underlined words “something on the books” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Advice. B. Data. C. Tests. D. Laws. 31. What is a suitable title for the text? A. To Drive or Not to Drive? Think Before You Start B. Texting and Driving? Watch Out for the Textalyzer C. New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers. D. The Next Generation Cell Phone: The Textalyzer- D Have you ever wondered what happens to that single-use plastic bottle after you place it in a recycling bin? Most people believe it’ll be recycled, sooner or later. Unfortunately, the reality is more complex. More often than not, that bottle starts a long and tough global journey, frequently ending up in other countries. Under ideal circumstances, it’s cleaned, sorted and broken down into small pieces to produce new items like packaging. If it is packaging itself that has been thrown, it’ll probably end up as a form of fuel. In other situations, however, it is shipped to landfills in developing regions, potentially polluting soil and water, endangering wildlife, and perhaps even finding its way back into your home through the global fish trade. In his book Waste Wars, journalist Alexander Clapp follows rubbish, travelling to some of the world’s most unpleasant places. There, he documents villages buried under mountains of imported plastic, and areas where workers take apart electronic waste from developed nations to extract valuable metals. Through these accounts, he reveals the global trade in waste and various influences it brings. While some waste trades are beneficial-such as China’s past use of imported plastic as industrial raw materials, or Turkey’s change of scrap metal into highways and skyscrapers—many shipments contain non-recyclable materials, causing serious problems. The Basel Convention, which came into effect in 1992, dealt with the shipment of dangerous waste but left plenty of loopholes (漏洞). Thus, many countries have been trying to stop waste imports ever since. In 2017, China, once one of the largest importers of plastic waste for recycling, banned such imports. Similar bans in Thailand and Indonesia went into effect this year. Then, what is to be done? There is no easy solution! Producers are required to take more responsibility for what they make. However, balancing environmental and economic goals remains constantly difficult, especially given varied national conditions. Greater global awareness and cooperation are therefore extremely important to tackle this pressing issue. 32. What do most people think of the way of plastic bottle recycling? A. It is a nice idea but not realistic. B. It is far from complex and tough. C. It lives up to people’s expectations. D. It reflects the actual process of recycling. 33. What is the BEST possible result for a recycled plastic bottle? A. Buried in landfills. B. Used as factory fuel. C. Turned into new packaging. D. Shipped to another country. 34. Why is Clapp’s book Waste Wars mentioned? A. To criticize international waste shipment. B. To illustrate the global waste trade’s impacts. C. To showcase recycling is seldom successful. D. To promote the economic benefits of waste. 35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To promote the book Waste Wars by Alexander Clapp. B. To appeal to the public to raise their environmental awareness. C. To indicate how recycling systems work in different countries. D. To reveal challenges and complexities of global waste recycling. 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Practical Ways to Develop Wisdom in Daily Life Wisdom provides us with insight when we need it, calms us down in terrible situations, and serves as a light of hope in the darkness. ___36___Here are some strategies that you can use to get wiser.

One morning, Jaron's mom was driving him to school beneath an especially spectacular Texas sunrise. She heard his little voice from the car seat behind her say, " Look, Mommy! Look at the beautiful green sunshine!" She turned to look at it. The rising sun was so beautiful, flooding the earth with warmth and red light. However, Jaron's mom was about to cry." Oh dear, my poor boy," she thought. Without delay, the parents rushed Jaron to the hospital for a check-up, which turned out to be color blindness.(色盲) On that fateful day, Jaron's parents were shocked to learn that their son was color blind — a condition that affects a person's ability to see colors in the same way as others. There is no cure, but special glasses can help individuals like Jaron distinguish between different colors. Unfortunately, these glasses are often too expensive for most families to afford. The parents were sad, but Jaron remained calm and even comforted his parents. He saw his condition as something special and decided to keep it a secret. However, his silence caused him to feel left out when others talked about colors. One day, during a class discussion, the teacher, Christina Hayes, asked the students to share a secret about themselves. Working up his courage, Jaron revealed his condition to his classmates, explaining that he saw gray instead of colors like purple, green, and blue. When the teacher asked if there was anything that could help him, Jaron mentioned the special glasses, but noted that they were too expensive for his family. Hearing Jaron's words, the teacher fought back tears and praised the boy for his bravery. The other students looked at Jaron with newfound understanding and注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After class, Jaron's classmates privately approached Hayes.________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing the special glasses, Jaron was surprised._________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
