But first up, let me tell you how I got started with the site. Although it really got going once I was at university, it actually started out as a high-school project — you know a “design a website” kind of thing — but it wasn’t like anyone expected it to become real or anything. I designed a site about girls’ basketball, which I was passionate about, and called it femalebasket.com. I knew the name wasn’t right, and before it got really successful I changed it to matchgirl.com and that was a really good move. And although it started with basketball, the site’s grown to include other games as well. It features a variety of articles and reviews on everything ranging from basketball to computer games, plus some more traditionally “girly” material as well. But the coverage of team sports is at the heart of it, anything about make-up or fashion is just secondary to that. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A 21．B 22．D 23．A 21．细节理解题。根据表格下方内容“Parental approval is required for participation in Marathon (if applicant is aged 16 & 17 years) and Half Marathon (if applicant is aged 14 & 15 years).(参加马拉松比赛（若参赛者年龄在16岁至17岁之间）以及半程马拉松比赛（若参赛者年龄在14岁至15岁之间），均需获得家长的同意)”可知，17岁的参赛者参加马拉松需要获得父母同意，故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据表格内容可知，全马€135，半马€105，接力€220，规则允许符合年龄要求的青少年参加半马，因此青少年参赛的最低费用为€105，故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据Important Points部分中“Participants can run both the half marathon/ marathon along with relay marathon as long as they have registered for both events and are wearing both bibs (号码布).(只要参赛者已报名参加两项赛事并且佩戴了两块号码布，他们就可以同时参加半程马拉松/全程马拉松以及接力马拉松比赛)”可知，同时报名两个项目的参赛者可以同时佩戴两块号码布参赛，故选A。 B 24．D 25．A 26．C 27．B 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m James. Burned out from work, I found life had become flat and that I desperately needed something to shift my focus.(我叫詹姆斯。由于工作压力过大，我感到精疲力竭。我发现生活变得毫无波澜，于是我迫切需要一些东西来转移我的注意力)”和“I decided to give it a shot! I had my training lessons at an indoor swimming pool.(我决定试一试！我的训练课是在室内游泳池进行的)”可知，对新鲜体验的渴望促使詹姆斯尝试潜水这项运动。故选D。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“Less than 24 hours after my arrival, and minutes into my first ocean dive, I was literally diving head first into the deep end, finding myself 80 feet underwater.(我抵达这里不到 24 小时后，就在我的第一次海洋潜水开始时，我竟然直接一头扎进了深水区，结果发现自己已经潜到了80英尺深的地方)”可知，詹姆斯的首次海洋潜水没有采用循序渐进的策略。故选A。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段“Within minutes our 4-person dive group was surrounded by numerous nurse sharks, a moray eel (海鳗), large groupers and sea turtles. I was madly in love with scuba diving. As we reached the bottom a lone nurse shark swam right under me. More started to arrive. Just as I was shooting pictures of the action and not paying attention to anything or anyone else around, I looked up to see a bright green threatening face headed straight for me. He wasn’t the least bit shy. He has apparently never heard of personal space. After he decided to swim by me without causing any bodily harm, I was both relieved and excited.(几分钟内，我们四人的潜水小组就被众多的护士鲨、一条海鳗、一大群石斑鱼和海龟包围了。我深深地爱上了潜水这项运动。当我们潜入水底时，一条孤独的护士鲨正好从我下方游过。更多的鲨鱼陆续赶来。就在我忙着拍摄这一幕，而没有留意周围其他事物和人的同时，我抬头看到一张鲜绿色的、充满威胁的面孔正直冲着我而来。他一点也不害羞。显然，他从未听说过个人空间的概念。在他决定游过我身边而没有造成任何身体伤害之后，我既感到松了一口气，又感到兴奋不已)”可知，詹姆斯提到海洋动物是为了展示潜水的魅力。故选C。 27．主旨大意题。根据第一段“I’m James. Burned out from work, I found life had become flat and that I desperately needed something to shift my focus.(我叫詹姆斯。由于工作压力过大，我感觉生活变得毫无波澜，于是我迫切需要一些事情来转移注意力)”以及全文围绕James从工作倦怠到尝试潜水、在首次海洋潜水中体验水下刺激的经历展开可知，B选项“What underwater thrill?(这水下的刺激感到底是什么？)”可作为最恰当的题目。故选B。 C 28．C 29．D 30．B 31．D 28．词义猜测题。根据第一段“As a librarian, I am often asked: Does listening to audiobooks qualify as reading? Many people don’t think so. There is a snobbishness to reading a physical book. Telling someone that you have only listened to a certain book usually comes out sounding like an apology.(作为一名图书管理员，我经常被问到：听有声书算阅读吗？很多人认为不算。读实体书有一种 snobbishness。告诉别人你只听了某本书，说这话时通常听起来像是在道歉)”可知，人们普遍觉得读实体书比听有声书更优越，所以“snobbishness”可能意为“一种优越感”。选C项。 29．细节理解题。依据第三段“Audiobooks can offer a vastly different experience from reading yourself, and that’s because narrators (主播) can add so much to a story. I recently listened to Woodworking, which had three narrators at three extremely different points in their lives. The three audiobook performers brought extra depth and humor to the reading that I couldn’t have gotten just reading alone.(有声书能提供与自己阅读截然不同的体验，因为主播能为故事增添很多内容。我最近听了《木工工艺》，它由三位处于人生截然不同阶段的主播朗读。这三位有声书朗读者为朗读增添了额外的深度和幽默，这些是我独自阅读无法获得的)”可知，该段强调有声书能为故事带来更丰富的内容。故选D项。 30．细节理解题。根据第五段“At a time when fewer people are reading books, this audiobook debate can feel like a silly distraction from what really matters: Keeping books in the hands that need them, in any format at all.(在读书的人越来越少的时候，这场关于有声书的争论似乎是一种愚蠢的干扰，而真正重要的是：让需要书的人能够接触到书，无论以何种形式)”可知，作者认为有声书的争论似乎是一种愚蠢的干扰，让人们忽略了读书的人越来越少的事实，由此可知，作者认为更重要的是鼓励更多人阅读。故选B项。 31．主旨大意题。文章开篇提出听有声书是否算阅读的问题，接着阐述有声书能带来不同体验、具有便利性，最后强调在阅读人数减少的情况下，重要的是让读者能接触到书，各种阅读形式都有价值。D选项“Audiobooks: Every Form of Reading Counts(有声书：每种阅读形式都重要)”为最佳标题。故选D项。 D 32．B 33．A 34．A 35．B 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The company stresses it is meant to “support, not replace” medical care, not for diagnosis or treatment, but to help with everyday questions and pattern recognition.(该公司强调，它旨在“支持而非取代”医疗服务，不用于诊断或治疗，而是帮助解决日常问题和模式识别)”可知，OpenAI推出ChatGPT Health是为了帮助用户解决日常健康问题，提供及时的咨询帮助。故选B项。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A 2023 study found ChatGPT’s cancer treatment plans contained many errors, some hard even for experts to detect.(2023年的一项研究发现，ChatGPT的癌症治疗方案包含许多错误，有些甚至专家都难以发现)”、第四段中的“Beyond accuracy, psychologists highlight anxiety risks.(除了准确性问题外，心理学家强调了焦虑风险)”以及第五段中的“Privacy is another puzzle.(隐私是另一个难题)”可推断，ChatGPT可能带来的风险多于益处。故选A项。 34．细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Dermatologist Kumar views ChatGPT Health as educational, clarifying terms like sunscreen types, not diagnostic.(皮肤科医生Kumar认为ChatGPT Health具有教育意义，可解释防晒霜类型等术语，而非用于诊断)” 可知，Kumar认为ChatGPT可以教患者一些医学术语。故选A项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Thus, ChatGPT Health enters America’s broken system as a double-edged sword: a round-the-clock assistant that may empower (赋权) patients, yet risks misinforming, over-reassuring, and exposing them to unregulated data practices.(因此，ChatGPT Health作为一把双刃剑进入美国不完善的医疗体系：它是一个全天候的助手，可能赋予患者权力，但也存在提供错误信息、过度安慰以及使他们面临不受监管的数据操作的风险)”可推断，作者对ChatGPT Health的态度是谨慎且乐观的，既看到了其价值，也指出了其隐患。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 36．C 37．A 38．D 39．G 40．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了长途旅行后人们会因跨越时区产生时差反应，导致生物钟紊乱、睡眠和饮食受影响的问题以及解决措施。 36．根据上文“We’ve all been there after a long trip — staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 a. m. hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly looking through social media, trapped in the control of jet lag.(长途旅行后我们都有过这样的经历——茫然地盯着邮件，数着时间盼着睡觉。可到了凌晨两点，你依然毫无睡意，漫无目的地刷着社交媒体，陷入时差的困扰中)”可知，空格处需要对这种时差困扰进行总结。C选项“That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast.(这就是快速跨越时区的代价)”承接上文，对前文描述的时差痛苦进行概括，符合语境。故选C项。 37．根据上文“But when we land in a new time zone and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is thrown off balance.(但当我们到达新时区，昼夜突然颠倒，这种节律就会失衡)” 以及下文 “But scientists have found ways to help our bodies keep up.(但科学家已经找到了帮助我们身体适应的方法)”可知，前文用科学解释时差问题，下文出现转折，说找到了帮助适应时差的方法，推知空处是说时差问题很难解决。选项 A“A complete cure for jet lag is unlikely to find.(要找到完全治愈时差的方法不太可能) ”承上启下，符合语境。故选A项。 38．根据下文“For example, Timeshifter, an app developed by a neuroscientist and his team, suggests a personalized schedule for light exposure and sleep based on flight arrangements.(例如，由神经科学家及其团队开发的应用程序 Timeshifter，会根据航班安排，为用户提供个性化的光照和睡眠时间表)”可知，空格处需要引出可以帮助调节时差的工具。D选项“There are some tools to help with this, of course.(当然有一些工具可以对此提供帮助)”引出下文的举例说明，符合语境。故选D项。 39．根据上文围绕光照和睡眠展开，以及下文“While the brain is our master clock, other tissues like the liver and muscles have their own clocks that regulate metabolism (新陈代谢) , the body’s process of turning food into energy.(大脑是我们的主生物钟，而肝脏、肌肉等其他组织也有自己的生物钟，它们调节着新陈代谢——即身体将食物转化为能量的过程)”可知，空格处需要进行转折，引出时差还受其他因素影响。G选项“However, jet lag isn’t just about light exposure and sleep.(然而，时差不仅仅与光照和睡眠有关)”承上启下，使话题自然过渡，符合语境。故选G项。 40．根据上文“In reality, there are lots of things that come into effect.(实际上，有很多因素会起作用)”可知，空格处补充说明个体差异。E选项“Different people have different rhythms.(不同的人有不同的节律)”承接上文，符合语境。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 41．B 42．C 43．A 44．B 45．D 46．C 47．D 48．C 49．B 50．A 51．D 52．C 53．A 54．A 55．D 41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我怎么会忘记Andrea呢？A. believe相信；B. forget忘记；C. recognize认出；D. accept接受。根据下文“That Friday email came 34 years after we first met. “I think of you often,” I replied.”可知，34年后对方还发来邮件，作者也时常想起她，所以不可能忘记。且下文“This is for you, so you never forget me.”也是提示。故选B。 42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：她就是我在1990年一场飞机失事的那个夜晚遇见的8岁小女孩。A. trip旅行；B. route路线；C. crash坠毁，失事；D. delay延迟。根据下文“ ____ to the hospital, I found the emergency room ____ with an unknown number of survivors,”可知，下文提到了医院和幸存者，应该是飞机失事。故选C。 43．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我匆忙赶往医院，发现急诊室里挤满了数不清的幸存者，有的人在哭泣，有的人在默默流泪，还有的人沉浸在悲伤中茫然地凝视着前方。A.

Based 59. whose 60. that 61. of 62. protecting 63. Compared 64. but 65. impressive 【56题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：2026年上映的中国谍战片《惊蛰无声》，因其严肃深刻的国家安全主题赢得了观众和影评人的高度赞誉。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，The Chinese thriller Silent Thunder与release为被动关系，所以用过去分词released。故填released。 【57题详解】考查动词时态。句意同上。此处为谓语动词，结合语境强调对现在造成的结果与影响，应用现在完成时，主语The Chinese thriller Silent Thunder是第三人称单数，所以助动词用has，win的过去分词为won。故填has won。 【58题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：该片基于多起真实典型的反间谍案件，生动讲述了一支勇敢的国家安全干警队伍的故事，他们的任务是阻止重要机密信息非法泄露，维护国家利益。此处为非谓语动词作状语，base与其逻辑主语the film之间存在被动关系，即电影是“被基于真实案例进行创作和改编”的，因此此处为过去分词形式，based on，意为“以……为基础”，句首单词首字母大写。故填Based。 【59题详解】考查定语从句。句意同上。此处引导定语从句，先行词a brave team of national security officers在从句中作定语修饰名词mission，所以用关系代词whose。故填whose。 【60题详解】考查表语从句。句意：这部电影的特别之处在于，它采用冷静写实的风格，而非商业惊悚片中常见的刺激夸张场面。此处为连接词引导表语从句，从句不缺成分且句意完整，所以用连接词that。故填that。 【61题详解】考查介词。句意：它也深刻展现了每个公民意识到日常生活中潜在隐患的重要性。此处为固定搭配be aware of，意为“意识到”，所以用介词of。故填of。 【62题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：影片中的英雄们在黑暗中默默工作，在无声无息中守护国家和人民，不求名利。此处为非谓语动词作状语，protect与其逻辑主语The heroes之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词形式。故填protecting。 【63题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：与许多注重视觉效果和情节刺激的商业电影相比，这部影片更注重故事的真实性及其背后的深刻内涵。compare与其逻辑主语this one之间是被动关系，此处为固定搭配compared with，意为“与……相比”，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Compared。 【64题详解】考查连词。句意：它不仅在票房上取得巨大成功并获得广泛关注，还成为今年兼具艺术价值与教育意义的最令人印象深刻的国产电影之一。此处为固定搭配not only...but also...，意为“不仅……而且……”。故填but。 【65题详解】考查形容词。句意：它不仅在票房上取得巨大成功并获得广泛关注，还成为今年兼具艺术价值与教育意义的最令人印象深刻的国产电影之一。此处修饰名词domestic films，用impress的形容词形式impressive“令人印象深刻的”。故填impressive。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) Strive for Dreams, Sweat for Fitness Dear fellow students, Recently, many of us have been so occupied with exam preparation, shoulders stiff, eyes dry, even depression and inefficiency dragging us back. Buried in endless papers, I still urge all of us to work out regularly, for health is the foundation of academic progress. Skipping rope is what I strongly recommend. It takes little space, and just 15-20 minutes a day can improve our heart function, build up endurance, and refresh our minds, ultimately refueling our study. Even if the weather is unpleasant or time is tight, we can break it into short indoor sessions that may still help us stay active. Let’s put down our books for a while and move our bodies. Sweat today, shine tomorrow! 第二节(满分25分)       Jeremy had trouble falling asleep. Wide awake, he imagined all the ways Fletch could get hurt outside in the dark, a wave of anxiety sweeping over him once more. With Mum’s comforting words ringing again in his ears, Jeremy sighed with relief and hoped for the best, saying to himself, “Fletch will be all right.” After what seemed a century, Jeremy closed his eyes and finally drifted off to sleep. Then all of a sudden, the sun shone in his eyes, and it was morning.       Jeremy jumped out of the bed, ran straight to the back door and opened it wide. There was Fletch, licking his paws to wash his face. Looking at Jeremy with guilty eyes, Fletch meowed and meowed. Then he slipped inside the door and walked straight to his food bowl. Jeremy called excitedly, “Mum, Fletch is back!” “Thank goodness! Take good care of Fletch, Jeremy!” Mom responded. Jeremy felt extremely relieved that Fletch was safe and sound, promising to close the door nice and tight later on. This time he gave Fletch an extra scoop of cat food, Fletch meowing happily in response. 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 马鞍山市第二中学2026届高三下学期英语第一次周测 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。每段对话读两遍。 1．When will the woman meet the staff manager?

One night I came across a website recommending scuba (水肺) diving lessons. I hadn’t ever thought much about the idea of diving before; but its complete unfamiliarity fueled my interest; I decided to give it a shot! I had my training lessons at an indoor swimming pool. After completing the courses, I felt a sense of great satisfaction and achievement for overcoming the initial fear and discomfort of breathing underwater. Knowing I hadn’t yet experienced what real scuba diving is all about, I spent hours researching where the best places to dive were. But before I knew it, I had been on an airplane to Belize. Less than 24 hours after my arrival, and minutes into my first ocean dive, I was literally diving head first into the deep end, finding myself 80 feet underwater. It’s the kind of extraordinary water having such great visibility that you can see clearly for hundreds of feet around you. Within minutes our 4-person dive group was surrounded by numerous nurse sharks, a moray eel (海鳗), large groupers and sea turtles. I was madly in love with scuba diving. As we reached the bottom a lone nurse shark swam right under me. More started to arrive. Just as I was shooting pictures of the action and not paying attention to anything or anyone else around, I looked up to see a bright green threatening face headed straight for me. He wasn’t the least bit shy. He has apparently never heard of personal space. After he decided to swim by me without causing any bodily harm, I was both relieved and excited. This will always be that one special dive that changed everything and I get to watch it any time I find myself missing the water. 24．What pushed James to try scuba diving? A．Online low-price campaigns. B．Love for underwater events. C．Cut- throat career challenges. D．Thirst for fresh experiences. 25．What do we know about James’s first ocean dive? A．He didn’t adopt a gradual strategy. B．He didn’t use former diving skills. C．He found the best diving location. D．He made friends with other divers. 26．Why did James mention sea animals? A．To underline their diversity. B．To introduce their wildness. C．To demonstrate diving appeal. D．To promote ocean exploration. 27．What is the suitable title for the text? A．When to chase novelty? B．What underwater thrill? C．Why swim deep down? D．How to overcome fear? C As a librarian, I am often asked: Does listening to audiobooks qualify as reading? Many people don’t think so. There is a snobbishness to reading a physical book. Telling someone that you have only listened to a certain book usually comes out sounding like an apology. Sure, audiobooks don’t count as reading in an extremely literal linguistic sense. You, the listener, are hearing someone else read a book, instead of looking at the words. But when we talk about “reading a book”, I don’t think anyone cares about how you’re taking it in. Audiobooks can offer a vastly different experience from reading yourself, and that’s because narrators (主播) can add so much to a story. I recently listened to Woodworking, which had three narrators at three extremely different points in their lives. The three audiobook performers brought extra depth and humor to the reading that I couldn’t have gotten just reading alone. There’s also something extra convenient about audiobooks. When I travel on public transport and can’t get a seat, holding a physical book in my hands is hard; but I can listen to an audiobook anywhere. They’re always wonderful for multitasking, whether that’s listening while doing the dishes, cleaning the bathroom or, my personal favorite, doing a craft. In 2022, the National Endowment for the Arts reported that 48.5 percent of adults said they had read at least one book in the past year, down from 52.7 percent five years earlier. At a time when fewer people are reading books, this audiobook debate can feel like a silly distraction from what really matters: Keeping books in the hands that need them, in any format at all. I read because I love stories. And, yes, that connection to the story, or essay or memoir might feel a little different depending on whether I read the words on the page or hear them performed by an audiobook narrator. But both are worth celebrating — and neither is better than the other. 28．What does the underlined word “snobbishness” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．A lack of interest. B．A habit of apologizing. C．A feeling of superiority. D．A desire to read more books. 29．What benefit of audiobooks is stressed in paragraph 3? A．They simplify complicated plots. B．They make listeners more focused. C．They allow access to more authors. D．They bring greater richness to stories. 30．According to the author, what matters more? A．Improving the quality of books. B．Encouraging more people to read. C．Exploring more formats of reading. D．Keeping books accessible to readers. 31．What is the best title for the text? A．Audiobooks: A New Reading Trend B．Audiobooks: A Bridge Connecting Readers C．Audiobooks: Narrators Bring Stories to Life D．Audiobooks: Every Form of Reading Counts D Around Christmas, 50-year-old New Yorker Holly Jespersen felt unwell but hesitated to see a doctor. She turned to ChatGPT, which advised her against visiting. Days later, with a high fever and headaches, again using the chatbot to decide when, she finally went to urgent care and was diagnosed with influenza A． Holly is far from alone. According to OpenAI, over 40 million daily health-related enquiries, with 230 million weekly. In January, it announced ChatGPT Health, allowing users to upload medical records for customized (定制的) support. The company stresses it is meant to “support, not replace” medical care, not for diagnosis or treatment, but to help with everyday questions and pattern recognition. Yet concerns arise. Family physician Dr. Alexa Mieses Malchuk warns that ChatGPT, like WebMD, prioritizes being helpful over accurate. A 2023 study found ChatGPT’s cancer treatment plans contained many errors, some hard even for experts to detect. However, newer research on colon cancer showed its answers on symptoms and prevention were highly accurate, suggesting LLMs (大型语言模型) may assist patient education but not clinical decisions. Beyond accuracy, psychologists highlight anxiety risks. A 2013 study confirmed that online symptom searches can intensify health anxiety, especially for those intolerant of uncertainty. Clinical psychologist Elizabeth Sadock notes that ChatGPT, always available and affirming, fuels reassurance-seeking (寻求慰藉) behavior, trapping users in a cycle of anxiety. For some patients, limiting ChatGPT use may now be part of treatment. Privacy is another puzzle. Biomedical informatics professor Bradley Malin acknowledges OpenAI’s security efforts, but stresses ChatGPT Health falls outside HIPAA regulation. Patients may unknowingly lose legal protections when their data flows from secured medical records to an unregulated third party. Yet some see value. Dermatologist Kumar views ChatGPT Health as educational, clarifying terms like sunscreen types, not diagnostic. He distinguishes it from WebMD’s curated, reviewed content, while ChatGPT’s AI may mislead. Thus, ChatGPT Health enters America’s broken system as a double-edged sword: a round-the-clock assistant that may empower (赋权) patients, yet risks misinforming, over-reassuring, and exposing them to unregulated data practices. 32．Why does OpenAI launch ChatGPT Health? A．To replace medical care totally. B．To provide consultation timely. C．To treat the patients early. D．To diagnose diseases quickly. 33．What can we learn from paragraphs 3-5? A．ChatGPT may lead to more risks than benefits. B．ChatGPT is always available, helpful and accurate. C．Psychologists advise people not to use ChatGPT. D．People will have no privacy when using ChatGPT. 34．How does Kumar find ChatGPT? A．It teaches patients some medical terms. B．It can be used as an assistant to patients. C．It can help more patients cure diseases. D．It has more advantages than disadvantages. 35．What is the author’s attitude toward ChatGPT Health? A．Enthusiastic and supportive. B．Cautious and optimistic. C．Disapproving and negative. D．Critical and loyal. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 We’ve all been there after a long trip — staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 a. m. hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly looking through social media, trapped in the control of jet lag. 36 Our internal clock governs everything from sleep to digestion to hormones (激素分泌) and uses light to maintain its natural 24-hour cycle. But when we land in a new time zone and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is thrown off balance. 37 But scientists have found ways to help our bodies keep up. Even reducing jet lag by a day can improve the productivity and well-being of so many people. The best strategy? 38 For example, Timeshifter, an app developed by a neuroscientist and his team, suggests a personalized schedule for light exposure and sleep based on flight arrangements. 39 While the brain is our master clock, other tissues like the liver and muscles have their own clocks that regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), the body’s process of turning food into energy. That is, meal timing and composition could also be key to reducing jet lag. In reality, there are lots of things that come into effect. 40 While we don’t yet have a way to comprehensively avoid jet lag, researchers and airlines aren’t asleep on the job in their hunt for a cure. A．A complete cure for jet lag is unlikely to find. B．Jet lag can affect people’s eating habits and sleep patterns. C．That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast. D．There are some tools to help with this, of course. E．Different people have different rhythms. F．The most important step is to control when you get sunlight. G．However, jet lag isn’t just about light exposure and sleep. 第三部分 语言运用(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, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Do you remember me?” That Friday email came 34 years after we first met. “I think of you often,” I replied.

In the ICU, an injured girl 46 , “Am I going to die?” “No,” I replied. With a look of 47 that I’ll never forget, she asked, “May I go to sleep?” I nodded. During her hospital stay, I brought her picture books and sat with her through nightmares. She often held my hand 48 , afraid I’d leave. One night, she drew me a small flower on a napkin and smiled, “This is for you, so you never forget me.” Gradually, we formed a deep 49 . I visited her three times daily. She would call out my name — “Fornari!” at the 50 of me. After 51 , she returned to her homeland. Nine years later, at 17, she visited me and 52 her dream — to help children as I had helped her — 53 by the care she’d received. Years later, she emailed me: “I thought of how I fell out of the sky, and how you 54 me.” We spoke on video for 30 minutes.

He is brown and black, with tiger stripes across his back.

She won’t be able to sleep without it. Can you take a look before it gets dark?” Jeremy opened the kitchen door and ran outside. The bright red doll was easy to find in the grass.

What’s wrong?” Jeremy gasped (喘息) for breath. “The back door is open!” he cried. “And I can’t find Fletch anywhere!” Mom frowned. “I think you’re right to be worried,” she said slowly. “Fletch may have slipped out the door.” Mom hugged Jeremy tight.

Hi, my named britt foxton, and I am the founder of a website devoted to women's basketball. And i've also just written a book on the same subject. But first up, let me tell you how I got started with the site. Although I really got going once I was at university, they started out as a high school project, you know, a designer website kind of thing. But IT wasn't like anyone expected IT to become real, or anything. I designed decide about girl's basketball, which I was passionate about and called IT female basket dot com. I knew the name wasn't right. And before I got really successful, I changed IT to match girl dot com. And that was a really good move. And although IT started with basketball, the sites grow to include other games as well. IT features a variety of articles and reviews on everything ranging from basketball to computer games, plus some more traditionally girly material as well. But the coverage of team sports is at the heart of IT. Anything about makeup or fashion is just secondary to that.
