Mr. Johnson, a high school history teacher, had long noticed a worrying trend in his classroom. While his students could carefully remember dates, names and events for exams, they always failed to understand the human side of history. To them, the past seemed a fixed set of facts, without emotion, struggle or personal meaning. Wanting to fix this gap, Mr. Johnson decided to completely change his teaching way in the middle of the semester, trading a traditional research report for a story-writing task.
He asked his students to pick a historical figure and write a detailed story from that person’s own point of view. The task was confusing at first, but soon the classroom was full of active questions and discussion. One student learned deeply about the life of a young soldier in World War I, writing a sad and moving story of the mud, fear and fragile friendship in the trench lines. Another told the story of a female scholar from the Renaissance, making up a tale of her love for learning being held back by social rules. The thorough research and creative care for how the figure felt that the students showed was amazing.
Mr. Johnson was surprised by the big change in his students. The essays he got were not just correct; they were full of real feelings and a clear understanding of people’s thoughts. The students had stopped just repeating facts and truly connected with history, seeing historical figures as people with many different sides instead of just names from a long time ago. In later class talks, their questions changed from “What happened?” to “Why did they feel that way?” and “What would I have done?”. This story-writing method didn’t just help them remember facts better; it built up their ability to think deeply and their real care for how others felt.
Inspired by this success, Mr. Johnson has now made story-telling a regular part of his lessons. He believes that when students learn to experience history through story-telling, they do more than just remember it — they start to understand its long-lasting effects on their own lives and what it means to be human in general. In his classroom, history is no longer just a subject about the past; it has become a talk with the past.
4. What was Mr. Johnson’s initial problem with his students?
A. They preferred science over history. B. They were not interested in history at all.
C. They could not memorize historical facts. D. They lacked emotional connection to history.
5. How did Mr. Johnson change his teaching method?
A. He gave more tests on dates and names in history class.
B. He asked students to write from a historical person’s view.
C. He showed more historical documentaries with facts.
D. He invited historians to give lectures in his classroom.
6. What did the students’ essays demonstrate after the new assignment?
A. They contained more dates and facts than before.
B. They showed better memorization of historical events.
C. They reflected emotional understanding and personal insight.
D. They were shorter but more accurate than previous work.
7. What is the main message of the text?
A. History is more than facts — it’s human stories. B. Teachers should use more technology in class.
C. Students prefer creative writing to exams. D. Storytelling is only useful in English class.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】

C
Historically, education has always been a human-operated process. Teachers were responsible for delivering lessons, checking students’ grades, and managing classroom environments. However, the rise of digital technology led to the development of online learning platforms, digital classrooms, and online courses. And the combination of AI promises to take these advances to an entirely new level.
Every student has a unique learning style, speed, and set of strengths and weaknesses. Traditional education systems often struggle to meet these individual needs due to class size, limited resources, and the one-size-fits-all approach. AI could change that. With AI-driven learning platforms, students can work through material at their own speed. For example, platforms like Coursera, Khan Academy, and Duolingo use AI to analyze student progress and offer content, quizzes, and exercises made for them.
Traditionally, teachers are often busy with tasks such as grading, lesson planning, and tracking student progress. AI can ease this burden by automating (使自动化) many of these tasks, freeing up valuable time for teachers to focus on student engagement and instruction. For example, AI tools can grade homework, exams, and quizzes much faster than a human educator. This is especially valuable for large classes where individual grading might take days or even weeks. Moreover, AI can help teachers with lesson planning by analyzing vast amounts of educational content and suggesting resources that best match student learning needs.
With AI, students who have trouble with language, disabilities, or socio-economic challenges have more opportunities to receive education. AI-powered tools, such as Google Classroom and Microsoft Word, are developed to support students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism. Moreover, AI tools are making it easier for students who can’t see or hear well. Text-to-speech, real-time translation, and sign language identification technologies can break down barriers for students who face challenges in traditional educational environments.
Looking ahead, AI’s role in education will continue to develop. As technology advances, we can expect AI to become part of learning platforms, making education more interesting and engaging.
8. What are AI platforms in paragraph 2 mentioned to show?
A. AI’s aid in setting learning goals.
B. The rapid development of AI technology.
C. AI’s role in personalizing learning resources.
D. The comparative advantage of traditional education.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. AI’s assistance to educators.
B. AI’s possibility of replacing teachers.
C. The importance of student engagement.
D. Teaching challenges in large classrooms.
10. What can we infer about AI-powered tools according to the text?
A. They help lessen (减少) cultural differences.
B. They make education more accessible.
C. They need further technical improvements.
D. They make students’ school life more colourful.
11. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To recommend AI tools and platforms.
B. To remind students of AI’s weaknesses.
C. To discuss the impact of AI on education.
D. To list the advantages of digital technology.

D
As a psychologist studying body image for nearly 30 years, I have noticed distinct differences in terms for body size across different fields. In medical settings, the terms “obese (肥胖的)” or “person with obesity” are commonly used, while body-image researchers tend to opt for expressions like “higher weight.” This often makes me wonder which term to choose across settings.
The core issue is that body size terms are never neutral; they profoundly affect people’s self-respect, internalized weight bias, and clinical communication. Moreover, there is often a gap between the recommendations in professional guidelines and individuals’ actual preferences.
Back in the 1990s, “the obesity epidemic (流行病)” dominated the public health context, framing higher weight as a disease needing correction. Later, person-first language such as “a person with obesity” emerged, aiming to spotlight the individual rather than a single characteristic. This approach follows the pattern used in other medical fields — as with “a person with cancer,” rather than “a cancer patient.” However, this shift still considers larger body size as “being ill” and has proven ineffective.
In recent years, researchers have finally asked: what terms do people in larger bodies prefer? The answer depends. Studies indicate that medical terms like “obese” are least favored, while more neutral descriptions such as “in a larger body,” “unhealthy weight,” and “overweight” find greater acceptance among certain populations. Importantly, context matters. Within fat acceptance communities, “fat” can function as a neutral description, a meaning that does not transfer to medical or mainstream contexts. In fact, in some medical settings, “fat” refers strictly to fat tissue and isn’t an adjective at all.
Some may dismiss all these as unnecessary complaints about language, yet evidence shows that disrespectful terms can prevent individuals from seeking medical care and reduce trust in healthcare providers. Therefore, adopting a flexible, rather than rigid, approach is key. This involves prioritizing individuals’ preferred terms, avoiding morally judgmental language, and adapting to specific contexts. For healthcare workers, balancing guidelines with personal experiences matters, as there is no universal “correct” term.
12. What is the problem with person-first language about body size?
A. It fails to reflect people’s real needs. B. It is rejected by medical professionals.
C. It regards larger build as a disease. D. It is too formal for daily communication.
13. What can be inferred about the term “fat”?
A. It is widely used by researchers instead of “obese”.
B. Its use may boost trust between patients and doctors.
C. It is considered the most polite term in medical settings.
D. Its social meaning has changed in some groups of people.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of body size terms?
A. Supportive of fixed medical terms. B. In favor of context-fit expressions.
C. Objective with no personal opinions. D. Critical of neutral body-image terms.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Body Image: A Focus of Long-Term Research
B. Medical Terms: A History of Obesity Labeling
C. Weight Bias: A Reduction in Healthcare Settings
D. Word Choice: Respectful Body Size Description
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了体型相关词汇的选择并非中立,应采用灵活、尊重个体且适应具体情境的表述方式。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Later, person-first language such as “a person with obesity” emerged, aiming to spotlight the individual rather than a single characteristic. This approach follows the pattern used in other medical fields — as with “a person with cancer,” rather than “a cancer patient.” However, this shift still considers larger body size as “being ill” and has proven ineffective.(后来,以患者为先的表述(如“一个肥胖的人”)开始出现,旨在突出个体而非单一特征。这种做法沿用了其他医学领域的模式 —— 比如使用“一位患癌症的人”,而不是“一个癌症患者”。然而,这种转变仍然将较大体型视为“生病”,并且已被证明效果不佳)”可知,以个人为先的语言将较大的体型看作一种疾病。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Within fat acceptance communities, “fat” can function as a neutral description, a meaning that does not transfer to medical or mainstream contexts. In fact, in some medical settings, “fat” refers strictly to fat tissue and isn’t an adjective at all.(在接纳肥胖的群体内部,“胖”可以作为中性描述,但这个含义并不适用于医疗或主流环境。事实上,在某些医疗场景中,“脂肪”仅指脂肪组织,根本不是形容词)”可推知,“fat”这个词的社会意义在一些群体中发生了变化。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, adopting a flexible, rather than rigid, approach is key. This involves prioritizing individuals’ preferred terms, avoiding morally judgmental language, and adapting to specific contexts.(因此,采用灵活而非僵化的方法是关键。这包括优先考虑个人偏好的术语,避免道德评判语言,并适应特定语境)”可知,作者支持使用适合语境的表达。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“In medical settings, the terms “obese (肥胖的)” or “person with obesity” are commonly used, while body-image researchers tend to opt for expressions like “higher weight.” This often makes me wonder which term to choose across settings.(在医疗环境中,“肥胖”或“肥胖者”这样的术语经常被使用,而身体形象研究人员倾向于选择“体重较高”这样的表达。这常常让我想知道在不同的环境中该选择哪个术语)”以及最后一段中“Therefore, adopting a flexible, rather than rigid, approach is key. This involves prioritizing individuals’ preferred terms, avoiding morally judgmental language, and adapting to specific contexts.(因此,采用灵活而非僵化的方法是关键。这包括优先考虑个人偏好的术语,避免道德评判语言,并适应特定语境)”可知,文章主要说明了体型相关词汇的选择并非中立,它们会深刻影响人们的自尊、内化的体重偏见和临床交流,文章讨论了不同术语的使用及其影响,并强调了采用灵活、尊重个体且适应具体情境的表述方式的重要性。故D选项“词汇选择:尊重体型的描述”最符合文章标题。故选D。
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。
At its most basic level, laughter affects our physical body. It enables us to take in more oxygenated air and stimulate our lungs. ____16____ This leads to several benefits.
Increases Heart Health
As we laugh at funny events, our cardiac (心脏的) health improves. Laughter provides this benefit by increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure. ____17____ One study found that people who rarely or never laughed were 1.21 times more likely to have heart disease than those who laughed daily. This helps reinforce (加强) the benefits of humour on heart health.
Reduces Physical Pain
Let’s say we have a severe headache but are watching an extremely funny show. As we watch and laugh, we may become at least somewhat distracted (使分心) from the headache and discomfort. ____18____
Established mechanisms are operating internally to enhance our ability to resist pain. Naturally occurring hormones called endorphins, for example, get to work. Because we’re laughing up a storm, our body produces these natural painkillers.
____19____
Laughing offers another physical benefit: it can help us sleep better. In one small-scale study, residents at a long-term care hospital engaged in 40-minute laughter therapy sessions twice a week for four weeks. Their sleep quality improved during this time, as did their feelings of depression.
Combining laughter with yoga, called laughing yoga, has also been found to improve sleep quality and help us fall asleep faster. This form of yoga involves movements that make us want to laugh.
Boosts Immunity (免疫力)
Overall, extensive laughter supports the immune system, which makes us more resistant to disease. By laughing, we increase antibody-producing cells and enhance the effectiveness of T cells in our body. ____20____ Physicians and mental health professionals can use laughter to help patients achieve positive health outcomes.
A. Improves sleep.
B. Gets good relationships.
C. You may find it hard to stay humorous.
D. This is much like how our body responds to exercise.
E. These tiny things act like a defense army to fight illness
F. But the distraction alone isn’t what reduces our pain perception.
G. Moments of loud laughter also relieve tension in our muscles.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. E

【解析】
【导语】主要介绍电影《南京照相馆》的故事背景、主创阵容、上映反响、核心人物形象以及影片承载的铭记历史、珍爱和平的深刻意义。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:英文名为《Dead to Rights》的《南京照相馆》是一部极具力量且内涵深刻的影片,故事设定在1937年南京大屠杀这一残酷背景之下,在那时日本侵略者给南京人民带来了巨大的苦难。此处用来修饰形容词powerful,需用副词作状语,extreme的副词形式为extremely意为“极其”。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这部影片由申奥执导,刘昊然、王传君、高叶、王骁等一众实力派演员参演。此处为非谓语动词作状语,逻辑主语it与direct之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词directed,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Directed。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:该片自七月二十五日全国上映以来,已经取得了不俗的成绩,不仅收获高额票房,还斩获豆瓣高分。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语Since its nationwide release可知,此处要用现在完成时,主语it是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为has achieved。
【39题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:最让观众印象深刻的便是由刘昊然饰演的苏柳昌这一角色。此处引导主语从句,从句中缺少主语,指代事物内容,所以用连接词what,位于句首,首字母需大写。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:起初他只求安稳活下去,在目睹日军让他冲洗的照片里那些惨无人道的罪行后,他渐渐鼓起勇气,决心反抗侵略者并揭露真相。此处介词after后接动名词形式作宾语,所以此处为seeing。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:起初他只求安稳活下去,在目睹日军让他冲洗的照片里那些惨无人道的罪行后,他渐渐鼓起勇气,决心反抗侵略者并揭露真相。固定搭配fight against意为“反抗”,所以此处为介词against。
【42题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:这类影片让历史变得生动易懂,让人们对过往拥有更为深刻的认知。由前面的more可知,此处暗含对比含义,需用形容词比较级,deep的比较级为deeper。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:通过对历史的准确还原和生动诠释,这部影片让观众深切地感受到了南京大屠杀那段痛苦历史的残酷与沉重,同时也展现了在绝境中普通民众的顽强抗争所展现出的巨大力量。定冠词the后接名词作宾语,cruel对应的名词形式为cruelty意为“残酷”。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:通过对历史的准确还原和生动诠释,这部影片让观众深切地感受到了南京大屠杀那段痛苦历史的残酷与沉重,同时也展现了在绝境中普通民众的顽强抗争所展现出的巨大力量。power后有后置定语修饰,此处特指普通人反抗的力量,所以用定冠词the。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:它不只是一部电影,更是一堂庄重的历史课,时刻提醒人们铭记历史、珍爱和平。固定搭配not just...but...意为“不仅……而且……”,所以此处为连词but。

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。
Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly performance in the school hall. It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens—her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Emily’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable, It would make them uncomfortable, too.”
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

Paragraph 2:
Finally, the day of performance came.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. She was not rejected this time. Her name was posted at the top of the list. She, Emily White, was chosen to be the leading singer! She would sing alone in the performance. Emily couldn’t believe her eyes. There must be some mistake. But Mr. Buttler said to her with determined eyes, “Emily, I choose you because you should perform the part—your voice is unusual. Believe in yourself.” Greatly encouraged, Emily practiced really hard.
Finally, the day of performance came. Standing in front of the line, Emily felt her throat tight and her palms sweating. When the curtain opened up, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon Emily. “Emily White!” Someone whispered. Then, along with the first note of music, Emily began to sing her heart out. Her voice was like a nightingale ringing in the auditorium. Applause! Emily felt so happy and comfortable. She was shining on the stage. Emily White, with so many birth problems in her body, was an angel!

Mr. Johnson, a high school history teacher, had long noticed a worrying trend in his classroom. While his students could carefully remember dates, names and events for exams, they always failed to understand the human side of history. To them, the past seemed a fixed set of facts, without emotion, struggle or personal meaning. Wanting to fix this gap, Mr. Johnson decided to completely change his teaching way in the middle of the semester, trading a traditional research report for a story-writing task.
He asked his students to pick a historical figure and write a detailed story from that person’s own point of view. The task was confusing at first, but soon the classroom was full of active questions and discussion. One student learned deeply about the life of a young soldier in World War I, writing a sad and moving story of the mud, fear and fragile friendship in the trench lines. Another told the story of a female scholar from the Renaissance, making up a tale of her love for learning being held back by social rules. The thorough research and creative care for how the figure felt that the students showed was amazing.
Mr. Johnson was surprised by the big change in his students. The essays he got were not just correct; they were full of real feelings and a clear understanding of people’s thoughts. The students had stopped just repeating facts and truly connected with history, seeing historical figures as people with many different sides instead of just names from a long time ago. In later class talks, their questions changed from “What happened?” to “Why did they feel that way?” and “What would I have done?”. This story-writing method didn’t just help them remember facts better; it built up their ability to think deeply and their real care for how others felt.
Inspired by this success, Mr. Johnson has now made story-telling a regular part of his lessons. He believes that when students learn to experience history through story-telling, they do more than just remember it — they start to understand its long-lasting effects on their own lives and what it means to be human in general. In his classroom, history is no longer just a subject about the past; it has become a talk with the past.
4. What was Mr. Johnson’s initial problem with his students?
A. They preferred science over history. B. They were not interested in history at all.
C. They could not memorize historical facts. D. They lacked emotional connection to history.
5. How did Mr. Johnson change his teaching method?
A. He gave more tests on dates and names in history class.
B. He asked students to write from a historical person’s view.
C. He showed more historical documentaries with facts.
D. He invited historians to give lectures in his classroom.
6. What did the students’ essays demonstrate after the new assignment?
A. They contained more dates and facts than before.
B. They showed better memorization of historical events.
C. They reflected emotional understanding and personal insight.
D. They were shorter but more accurate than previous work.
7. What is the main message of the text?
A. History is more than facts — it’s human stories. B. Teachers should use more technology in class.
C. Students prefer creative writing to exams. D. Storytelling is only useful in English class.
C
Historically, education has always been a human-operated process. Teachers were responsible for delivering lessons, checking students’ grades, and managing classroom environments. However, the rise of digital technology led to the development of online learning platforms, digital classrooms, and online courses. And the combination of AI promises to take these advances to an entirely new level.
Every student has a unique learning style, speed, and set of strengths and weaknesses. Traditional education systems often struggle to meet these individual needs due to class size, limited resources, and the one-size-fits-all approach. AI could change that. With AI-driven learning platforms, students can work through material at their own speed. For example, platforms like Coursera, Khan Academy, and Duolingo use AI to analyze student progress and offer content, quizzes, and exercises made for them.
Traditionally, teachers are often busy with tasks such as grading, lesson planning, and tracking student progress. AI can ease this burden by automating (使自动化) many of these tasks, freeing up valuable time for teachers to focus on student engagement and instruction. For example, AI tools can grade homework, exams, and quizzes much faster than a human educator. This is especially valuable for large classes where individual grading might take days or even weeks. Moreover, AI can help teachers with lesson planning by analyzing vast amounts of educational content and suggesting resources that best match student learning needs.
With AI, students who have trouble with language, disabilities, or socio-economic challenges have more opportunities to receive education. AI-powered tools, such as Google Classroom and Microsoft Word, are developed to support students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism. Moreover, AI tools are making it easier for students who can’t see or hear well. Text-to-speech, real-time translation, and sign language identification technologies can break down barriers for students who face challenges in traditional educational environments.
Looking ahead, AI’s role in education will continue to develop. As technology advances, we can expect AI to become part of learning platforms, making education more interesting and engaging.
8. What are AI platforms in paragraph 2 mentioned to show?
A. AI’s aid in setting learning goals.
B. The rapid development of AI technology.
C. AI’s role in personalizing learning resources.
D. The comparative advantage of traditional education.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. AI’s assistance to educators.
B. AI’s possibility of replacing teachers.
C. The importance of student engagement.
D. Teaching challenges in large classrooms.
10. What can we infer about AI-powered tools according to the text?
A. They help lessen (减少) cultural differences.
B. They make education more accessible.
C. They need further technical improvements.
D. They make students’ school life more colourful.
11. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To recommend AI tools and platforms.
B. To remind students of AI’s weaknesses.
C. To discuss the impact of AI on education.
D. To list the advantages of digital technology.
D
As a psychologist studying body image for nearly 30 years, I have noticed distinct differences in terms for body size across different fields. In medical settings, the terms “obese (肥胖的)” or “person with obesity” are commonly used, while body-image researchers tend to opt for expressions like “higher weight.” This often makes me wonder which term to choose across settings.
The core issue is that body size terms are never neutral; they profoundly affect people’s self-respect, internalized weight bias, and clinical communication. Moreover, there is often a gap between the recommendations in professional guidelines and individuals’ actual preferences.
Back in the 1990s, “the obesity epidemic (流行病)” dominated the public health context, framing higher weight as a disease needing correction. Later, person-first language such as “a person with obesity” emerged, aiming to spotlight the individual rather than a single characteristic. This approach follows the pattern used in other medical fields — as with “a person with cancer,” rather than “a cancer patient.” However, this shift still considers larger body size as “being ill” and has proven ineffective.
In recent years, researchers have finally asked: what terms do people in larger bodies prefer? The answer depends. Studies indicate that medical terms like “obese” are least favored, while more neutral descriptions such as “in a larger body,” “unhealthy weight,” and “overweight” find greater acceptance among certain populations. Importantly, context matters. Within fat acceptance communities, “fat” can function as a neutral description, a meaning that does not transfer to medical or mainstream contexts. In fact, in some medical settings, “fat” refers strictly to fat tissue and isn’t an adjective at all.
Some may dismiss all these as unnecessary complaints about language, yet evidence shows that disrespectful terms can prevent individuals from seeking medical care and reduce trust in healthcare providers. Therefore, adopting a flexible, rather than rigid, approach is key. This involves prioritizing individuals’ preferred terms, avoiding morally judgmental language, and adapting to specific contexts. For healthcare workers, balancing guidelines with personal experiences matters, as there is no universal “correct” term.
12. What is the problem with person-first language about body size?
A. It fails to reflect people’s real needs. B. It is rejected by medical professionals.
C. It regards larger build as a disease. D. It is too formal for daily communication.
13. What can be inferred about the term “fat”?
A. It is widely used by researchers instead of “obese”.
B. Its use may boost trust between patients and doctors.
C. It is considered the most polite term in medical settings.
D. Its social meaning has changed in some groups of people.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of body size terms?
A. Supportive of fixed medical terms. B. In favor of context-fit expressions.
C. Objective with no personal opinions. D. Critical of neutral body-image terms.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Body Image: A Focus of Long-Term Research
B. Medical Terms: A History of Obesity Labeling
C. Weight Bias: A Reduction in Healthcare Settings
D. Word Choice: Respectful Body Size Description

阅读下面短文,从短文后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。
At its most basic level, laughter affects our physical body. It enables us to take in more oxygenated air and stimulate our lungs. ____16____ This leads to several benefits.
Increases Heart Health
As we laugh at funny events, our cardiac (心脏的) health improves. Laughter provides this benefit by increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure. ____17____ One study found that people who rarely or never laughed were 1.21 times more likely to have heart disease than those who laughed daily. This helps reinforce (加强) the benefits of humour on heart health.
Reduces Physical Pain
Let’s say we have a severe headache but are watching an extremely funny show. As we watch and laugh, we may become at least somewhat distracted (使分心) from the headache and discomfort. ____18____
Established mechanisms are operating internally to enhance our ability to resist pain. Naturally occurring hormones called endorphins, for example, get to work. Because we’re laughing up a storm, our body produces these natural painkillers.
____19____
Laughing offers another physical benefit: it can help us sleep better. In one small-scale study, residents at a long-term care hospital engaged in 40-minute laughter therapy sessions twice a week for four weeks. Their sleep quality improved during this time, as did their feelings of depression.
Combining laughter with yoga, called laughing yoga, has also been found to improve sleep quality and help us fall asleep faster. This form of yoga involves movements that make us want to laugh.
Boosts Immunity (免疫力)
Overall, extensive laughter supports the immune system, which makes us more resistant to disease. By laughing, we increase antibody-producing cells and enhance the effectiveness of T cells in our body. ____20____ Physicians and mental health professionals can use laughter to help patients achieve positive health outcomes.
A. Improves sleep.
B. Gets good relationships.

Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly performance in the school hall. It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens—her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Emily’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable, It would make them uncomfortable, too.”
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.
