They say that the truth comes out of the children’s mouths, and that truth is sometimes more upsetting than we realize. Jen Adams Beason, a 2nd-grade teacher from Louisiana, witnessed this when she asked her students to write about an invention that they didn’t like, or an invention that they wish had never seen the light of day.
Jen has 21 students, and she was absolutely heartbroken when she noticed that four of her students shared the same invention: the smartphone. With dozens of notifications (通知) from apps, emails, and social media updates, it could be hard not to look at your phone for longer than five minutes.
Jen shared a boy’s essay on her Facebook page. “I hate my mom’s phone and I wish she never had one. That is an invention that I don’t like.” The essay is even accompanied by a sad and angry face saying “I hate it,” looking at a drawn phone with a cross through it.
“I had my 2nd graders write about an invention that they wish had never been created. Out of 21 students, 4 of them wrote about this topic. # getoffyourphone # listentoyourkids,” Jen posted on her Facebook wall.
Her message was seen by millions and even shared 300,000 times. It received dozens of eye-opening comments. “That is so sad. Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more,” Tracy Jenkins posted.
Luckily, it seems that awareness about smartphone addiction is increasing. Both iPhones and smartphones running on a recent Android operating system will soon include features to monitor, control and restrict your personal smartphone use for your own health.
Still, it’s interesting to see that parents’ concerns about their children becoming addicted to smartphones and other smart devices, are also perfectly true the other way around.
4. What did Jen find through the writing task?
A. Parents’ overuse of their phones. B. Parents’ dislike of their children.
C. Children’s resistance to social media. D. Children’s poor performance in writing.
5. The boy included a picture in his essay to show ______.
A. his great drawing skills B. his desire for a smartphone
C. his strong negative emotions D. his insight into online interaction
6. Which word best describes the author’s tone in the passage?
A. Critical and concerned B. Doubtful and curious
C. Casual and humorous D. Strict and warning
7. What is the author trying to do in the last paragraph?
A. Draw a conclusion. B. Provide evidence.
C. Put forward a proposal. D. Call for reflection.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了路易斯安那州一位二年级老师通过写作任务发现,许多孩子最不喜欢的发明是智能手机,因为他们觉得父母过度使用手机忽略了与孩子的互动,这引发了关于智能手机成瘾问题的反思。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Jen Adams Beason, a 2nd-grade teacher from Louisiana, witnessed this when she asked her students to write about an invention that they didn’t like, or an invention that they wish had never seen the light of day.(路易斯安那州的二年级教师詹・亚当斯・比森,在布置学生写一篇作文时亲眼见证了这一现实:让学生描写一样自己不喜欢的发明,或是一样自己希望从未问世的发明。)”、第二段“Jen has 21 students, and she was absolutely heartbroken when she noticed that four of her students shared the same invention: the smartphone.(詹有21名学生,当她发现有四名学生都写了同一项发明:智能手机时,她十分心痛。)”和第三段“Jen shared a boy’s essay on her Facebook page. “I hate my mom’s phone and I wish she never had one. That is an invention that I don’t like.”(詹在脸书主页分享了一名小男孩的作文:“我讨厌妈妈的手机,真希望她从来没有手机。这就是我不喜欢的一项发明。”)”可知,詹通过写作任务发现家长过度使用手机的现象。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The essay is even accompanied by a sad and angry face saying “I hate it,” looking at a drawn phone with a cross through it.(这篇作文还配有一张悲伤愤怒的表情,写着“我讨厌它”,还画了一部被打叉的手机。)”可知,男孩配图是为了表达强烈的负面情绪。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“That is so sad. Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more.(太令人心酸了。这很好地提醒我们所有人放下手机,多陪伴孩子。)”以及第六段“Luckily, it seems that awareness about smartphone addiction is increasing.(幸运的是,人们对智能手机成瘾的意识似乎正在提高。)”可知,作者批判家长沉迷手机忽视孩子的现状,同时对这一社会现象充满担忧,语气带有批判和关切。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, it’s interesting to see that parents’ concerns about their children becoming addicted to smartphones and other smart devices, are also perfectly true the other way around.(有意思的是,家长担心孩子沉迷智能手机等智能设备,反过来情况也完全成立。)”可知,作者意在启发人们换位思考,进行自我反思。
C
The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential.
Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.
A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior (外部) will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.”
“It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand.
The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.
8. What are cities like DC trying to do?
A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings.
C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home.
9. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3?
A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families.
C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs.
10. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion?
A. Realistic. B. Not far-reaching.
C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More
C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了美国多个城市正面临办公室空置率过高和住房短缺的双重问题,华盛顿特区等城市开始尝试将空置办公楼改造为住宅,以同时缓解这两个危机。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.(像华盛顿特区这样的城市现在正寄希望于通过将空置办公室改造成住宅,一个危机能够帮助解决另一个危机。)”可知,华盛顿特区等城市正在尝试将空置办公室重新改造利用。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around 4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. ‘We would love to do more,’ says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, ‘but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.’(计划包括游泳池和狗公园等豪华设施,预计月租金约4000美元。然而,将有60套单元被预留为经济适用房。‘我们想要做得更多,’一家开发公司的总裁马特·佩斯特罗克说,‘但不幸的是,几乎所有资本都追求回报。这是我们能够负担得起的最大限度了。’)”可知,该项目在提供高端设施(追求利润)的同时,也预留了部分经济适用房(满足社会需求),实现了利润与社会需求的平衡。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“‘It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.’ says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. (‘就提供部分住房供应而言,这确实是一举两得。’布鲁金斯学会研究员特蕾西·洛说,她研究旧建筑的适应性再利用。而且它倾向于在需求旺盛的中心城区和交通便利的地区创造住房。)”可知,特蕾西·洛认为这种做法确实能解决一些问题,但她用了“部分住房供应”,暗示这种转化只能提供部分住房,并不能从根本上解决住房短缺问题,因此她认为这种做法是现实的、可行的,但影响范围有限。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第二段“Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. (像华盛顿特区这样的城市现在正寄希望于通过将空置办公室改造成住宅,一个危机能够帮助解决另一个危机。)”以及最后一段“Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.(正如空置的工厂楼层变成了时尚的公寓,如今空置的办公空间正在变成时尚的厨房和卧室。)”可知,本文主要讲述的是将空置办公室改造为住宅这一趋势。
D
Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.
The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred.
One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物).
The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”
12. What does the new study focus on?
A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks.
C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds.
13. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds?
A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed.
C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect?
A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application.
C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation.
15. What does Loconsole say about the effect?
A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency.
C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“bouba-kiki”效应,即人们会将“bouba”与圆润形状、“kiki”与尖锐形状联系起来;一项新研究发现雏鸡也存在这种音形关联现象,并提出该效应可能源于物体物理属性,同时说明这种能力并非人类独有。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.(但发表在《科学》杂志上的一项新研究有了意外发现:雏鸡也会做出同样的配对,这表明这种与人类语言的关联可能并非人类独有。)”以及第二段对雏鸡实验的描述可知,这项新研究关注的是雏鸡身上的声音与形状的关联。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When the chicks heard ‘bouba,’ 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard ‘kiki,’ the opposite occurred.(当雏鸡听到‘bouba’时,80%会先靠近圆润形状,平均花三分多钟探索它,而探索尖锐形状的时间平均不到一分钟。听到‘kiki’时则相反。)”可知,雏鸡对两种声音的不同反应体现在探索偏好上。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.(一种长期存在的理论认为,这些关联是由你说每个单词时嘴巴的形状引起的,现在可以排除这种说法,因为小鸡尽管不会说话,但还是表现出了这种效果。相反,“bouba-kiki”效应可能源于物体本身的物理特性。)”可知,本段主要是对该效应产生的原因给出可能的解释。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”(洛康索莱说:“即使语言是人类独有的,这也并不意味着它源自一种人类独有的能力。”)”可知,她认为这种音形关联能力在不同物种间是共有的。故选C。

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。
Allergies (过敏) have become more common over the last 30 years. ____16____ Half of these sufferers are children.
Allergy is a reaction that occurs when the immune system, which produces substances to help your body fight infection and disease, has a strange and unnecessary reaction to a normally harmless substance, such as seafood or peanuts. To defend your body against an attacker, the immune system remembers these dangerous micro-organisms and attacks them if it meets them again. ____17____ The immune system of allergy sufferers makes antibodies (抗体) against harmless substances because it mistakenly believes them dangerous.
An allergic reaction may not happen the first time a sufferer meets an allergen (the substance causing the reaction). ____18____ What has happened is that the immune system has now decided the substance is dangerous and has made an allergy antibody. This leads to the signs of an allergy, such as swelling, rashes, sneezing, sore eyes, and breathlessness. Some people are born with the ability to make lots of allergy antibodies. They are more likely to develop allergies.
____19____ At one time, our immune systems were kept busy fighting off disease and trying to win the battle for health, but antibiotics (抗生素) have reduced our immune systems’ work. Thus spare energy may be directed to harmless substances such as strawberries.
A good deal of research is being devoted to finding a cure for allergies. ____20____ They may also be offered tests to find out what substances cause an allergic reaction so that they can avoid contact with them in the future.
A. This work is done by antibodies.
B. The most severe allergic reaction must be treated immediately.
C. Sufferers may be given medicine to control the signs of illness.
D. Now, one-third of us are affected by an allergy at some point in our lives.
E. The antibody then attaches itself to cells, which contain certain chemicals.
F. There may also be a link between allergies and antibiotics.
G. Sometimes, people can eat nuts for years and suddenly become allergic to them.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. C

47. 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。
Olly Powell’s seventh birthday wish to become invisible came true a week later with the birth of his sister, Lily. The power felt like a brilliant secret. He could slip into the kitchen for an extra biscuit unnoticed, and he loved listening from the hallway as his parents chatted about “that little mouse.” It was magic!
However, the joy was gone when Lily finally came home from the hospital. The reality was nothing like he had expected. Now, he often stood invisible in the hall. His request for swimming lessons was gently declined by his parents, who were busy with Lily. Being a big brother was the worst thing in the world. A deep sense of being unseen settled in his heart.
Feeling left out, he made a decision. “I bet they’d love to see me at school,” he thought. He struggled to open the front door and stepped outside. The street was quiet in the morning. He walked on, each step heavy with a desperate, unspoken hope that someone would finally see him and call him back.
His journey ended when a sharp bark from Mrs. Cooper’s little dog, Teddy, made him look up. “Olly? You aren’t here on your own, are you?” Mrs. Cooper called out, her kind face filled with concern. She led him gently into her garden and phoned his father. To pass the time while waiting, Mrs. Cooper showed Olly the incubator (孵化箱) where several eggs were kept. When he pointed out a fine crack (细微裂缝) on one of them, she explained it was a promising sign. “A baby bird is getting ready to come out. They’re so small, so fragile (脆弱的).”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Just then, a faint sound came from the cracked shell.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Minutes later, Dad and Mum arrived, with Lily asleep in her pram (婴儿车).
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Just then, a faint sound came from the cracked shell. Olly leaned closer, his eyes wide with surprise. A tiny beak poked through the crack, and after a few weak pushes, a fluffy little bird emerged, trembling slightly. Mrs. Cooper smiled softly, patting his shoulder. “See? It needs care to grow, just like your little sister. Being invisible doesn’t mean you’re unimportant — you’re the one who noticed it first, Olly.” Her words warmed his heart, and for the first time in weeks, he felt seen.
Minutes later, Dad and Mum arrived, with Lily asleep in her pram (婴儿车). Mum rushed over and hugged Olly tightly, her eyes filled with worry and relief. “We were so scared, Olly! We’ve been looking for you everywhere.” Dad knelt down, holding his hand gently. “We’re sorry we’ve been too busy with Lily these days. You’ll always be our precious boy.” Olly looked at the sleeping Lily, then at his parents, and felt his invisibility fading away. He smiled, knowing he was never unseen, and being a big brother might not be so bad after all.

They say that the truth comes out of the children’s mouths, and that truth is sometimes more upsetting than we realize. Jen Adams Beason, a 2nd-grade teacher from Louisiana, witnessed this when she asked her students to write about an invention that they didn’t like, or an invention that they wish had never seen the light of day.
Jen has 21 students, and she was absolutely heartbroken when she noticed that four of her students shared the same invention: the smartphone. With dozens of notifications (通知) from apps, emails, and social media updates, it could be hard not to look at your phone for longer than five minutes.
Jen shared a boy’s essay on her Facebook page. “I hate my mom’s phone and I wish she never had one. That is an invention that I don’t like.” The essay is even accompanied by a sad and angry face saying “I hate it,” looking at a drawn phone with a cross through it.
“I had my 2nd graders write about an invention that they wish had never been created. Out of 21 students, 4 of them wrote about this topic. # getoffyourphone # listentoyourkids,” Jen posted on her Facebook wall.
Her message was seen by millions and even shared 300,000 times. It received dozens of eye-opening comments. “That is so sad. Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more,” Tracy Jenkins posted.
Luckily, it seems that awareness about smartphone addiction is increasing. Both iPhones and smartphones running on a recent Android operating system will soon include features to monitor, control and restrict your personal smartphone use for your own health.
Still, it’s interesting to see that parents’ concerns about their children becoming addicted to smartphones and other smart devices, are also perfectly true the other way around.
4. What did Jen find through the writing task?
A. Parents’ overuse of their phones. B. Parents’ dislike of their children.
C. Children’s resistance to social media. D. Children’s poor performance in writing.
5. The boy included a picture in his essay to show ______.
A. his great drawing skills B. his desire for a smartphone
C. his strong negative emotions D. his insight into online interaction
6. Which word best describes the author’s tone in the passage?
A. Critical and concerned B. Doubtful and curious
C. Casual and humorous D. Strict and warning
7. What is the author trying to do in the last paragraph?
A. Draw a conclusion. B. Provide evidence.
C. Put forward a proposal. D. Call for reflection.
C
The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential.
Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.
A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior (外部) will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.”
“It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand.
The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.
8. What are cities like DC trying to do?
A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings.
C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home.
9. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3?
A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families.
C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs.
10. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion?
A. Realistic. B. Not far-reaching.

Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.
The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred.
One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物).
The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”
12. What does the new study focus on?
A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks.
C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds.
13. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds?
A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed.
C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect?
A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application.
C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation.
15. What does Loconsole say about the effect?
A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency.
C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence.

Allergies (过敏) have become more common over the last 30 years. ____16____ Half of these sufferers are children.
Allergy is a reaction that occurs when the immune system, which produces substances to help your body fight infection and disease, has a strange and unnecessary reaction to a normally harmless substance, such as seafood or peanuts. To defend your body against an attacker, the immune system remembers these dangerous micro-organisms and attacks them if it meets them again. ____17____ The immune system of allergy sufferers makes antibodies (抗体) against harmless substances because it mistakenly believes them dangerous.
An allergic reaction may not happen the first time a sufferer meets an allergen (the substance causing the reaction). ____18____ What has happened is that the immune system has now decided the substance is dangerous and has made an allergy antibody. This leads to the signs of an allergy, such as swelling, rashes, sneezing, sore eyes, and breathlessness. Some people are born with the ability to make lots of allergy antibodies. They are more likely to develop allergies.
____19____ At one time, our immune systems were kept busy fighting off disease and trying to win the battle for health, but antibiotics (抗生素) have reduced our immune systems’ work. Thus spare energy may be directed to harmless substances such as strawberries.
A good deal of research is being devoted to finding a cure for allergies. ____20____ They may also be offered tests to find out what substances cause an allergic reaction so that they can avoid contact with them in the future.
A. This work is done by antibodies.
B. The most severe allergic reaction must be treated immediately.
C. Sufferers may be given medicine to control the signs of illness.
D. Now, one-third of us are affected by an allergy at some point in our lives.
E. The antibody then attaches itself to cells, which contain certain chemicals.
F. There may also be a link between allergies and antibiotics.
G. Sometimes, people can eat nuts for years and suddenly become allergic to them.

47. 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。
Olly Powell’s seventh birthday wish to become invisible came true a week later with the birth of his sister, Lily. The power felt like a brilliant secret. He could slip into the kitchen for an extra biscuit unnoticed, and he loved listening from the hallway as his parents chatted about “that little mouse.” It was magic!
However, the joy was gone when Lily finally came home from the hospital. The reality was nothing like he had expected. Now, he often stood invisible in the hall. His request for swimming lessons was gently declined by his parents, who were busy with Lily. Being a big brother was the worst thing in the world. A deep sense of being unseen settled in his heart.
Feeling left out, he made a decision. “I bet they’d love to see me at school,” he thought. He struggled to open the front door and stepped outside. The street was quiet in the morning. He walked on, each step heavy with a desperate, unspoken hope that someone would finally see him and call him back.
His journey ended when a sharp bark from Mrs. Cooper’s little dog, Teddy, made him look up. “Olly? You aren’t here on your own, are you?” Mrs. Cooper called out, her kind face filled with concern. She led him gently into her garden and phoned his father. To pass the time while waiting, Mrs. Cooper showed Olly the incubator (孵化箱) where several eggs were kept. When he pointed out a fine crack (细微裂缝) on one of them, she explained it was a promising sign. “A baby bird is getting ready to come out. They’re so small, so fragile (脆弱的).”
