My teacher, Mrs. Bushy, made an announcement as Mother’s Day was drawing near. “I’m going to draw a circle that looks like the sun on a piece of paper,” she told us. “And each one of the rays (光束) of light that surrounds the sun will be a sentence that each of you has written about why your mother is special.”
I was so excited for my turn. I knew I had the best answer. I waited to let Mrs. Bushy know my ray of sunshine should read: “My mother loves me a lot.” My friend Nina went first: “My mother has pretty brown hair.” “That’s pretty good,” I thought, “but I do believe mine is better.” Next was Matthew: “My mother loves me a lot!” Mrs. Bushy nodded. “That’s a perfect sentence for a ray of sunshine.”
I couldn’t believe it. Someone had copied my words before I’d even had a chance to share my sentence. I felt awkward and wronged, not knowing what to do at all. I was up next. I whispered (小声说) my answer to Mrs. Bushy nervously. “That’s very good, Lizzy,” she said, moving on. Mrs. Bushy wrote all our sentences around the sun and then made copies for the entire class to take home for our mothers.
After returning home, I handed the paper to my mom carelessly and couldn’t hold back my feelings. Then I told her everything. Mom asked gently, “Which ray is yours, honey?” I pointed at it quietly. On my ray were the awkward words: “My mother is a good lover.”
Mom laughed softly. I stared at her in confusion. “It’s not funny at all — it’s the most precious gift I’ve ever received,” she said warmly. “I know you had to think of a new sentence when your idea was taken. However, what matters is not the words themselves, but your sincere love for me hidden in your heart. Every thought you have is the brightest sunshine to me.” Suddenly, I felt my day bright again.
4. What was the children’s task for Mother’s Day?
A. Drawing a picture of the bright sun.
B. Sharing a quality of their mothers.
C. Creating a story about their families.
D. Decorating a card for Mrs. Bushy.

C. Impatient and doubtful. D. Unconcerned and calm.
6. What can we learn from Mom’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Sincere love matters more than exact words.
B. Perfect sentences are the most valuable gifts.
C. The ability to adapt to changes is more important.
D. Laughing is the best way to deal with awkwardness.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Kind Teacher Mrs. Bushy B. The Creative Sun Drawing
C. The Great Sentences from Kids D. A Special Mother’s Day Gift
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述母亲节前夕老师让孩子们写下妈妈的闪光点,莉齐想好的句子被同学抢先使用,她更换语句后送给妈妈,妈妈告诉她真心远比词句重要。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“And each one of the rays of light that surrounds the sun will be a sentence that each of you has written about why your mother is special. (而且围绕太阳的每一道光芒,都要写一句话,说明你们的妈妈特别在哪里。)”可知,孩子们母亲节的任务是分享妈妈身上的一个优点、特质。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I couldn’t believe it. Someone had copied my words before I’d even had a chance to share my sentence. I felt awkward and wronged, not knowing what to do at all. (我简直不敢相信。我还没来得及说出自己的话,就有人先说了一模一样的句子。我尴尬又委屈,完全不知道该怎么办。)”可知,莉齐听到马修的句子时震惊又难过。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段妈妈的话“However, what matters is not the words themselves, but your sincere love for me hidden in your heart. (重要的不是文字本身,而是你藏在心底对我真挚的爱。)”可知,从妈妈的话能得知真挚的爱意比完美的词句更重要。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合文章围绕课堂上制作母亲节礼物、作者一波三折的经历以及妈妈对这份礼物的珍视展开,特别根据最后一段“It’s not funny at all — it’s the most precious gift I’ve ever received, (一点也不好笑,这是我收到的最珍贵的礼物,)”可知,全文核心是一份特别的母亲节礼物,所以D项“A Special Mother’s Day Gift (一份母亲节特别礼物)”最贴合主旨。

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for thousands of years. But recently, it has found a new stage: social media. From the well-known gua sha tools to the practice of drinking hot water, TCM-inspired habits are becoming popular in health routines around the world.
Videos on platforms like TikTok and Instagram romanticize TCM practices. They show people boiling apples for better digestion, changing iced coffee to hot water, or wearing slippers indoors — small habits like these are presented as keys to a longer, healthier life.
But what is behind this trend? Unlike Western medicine, which often treats symptoms (症状) one by one, TCM focuses on balance within the body. It uses ideas such as qi (vital energy), yin and yang, and the interaction between the body and its environment. The goal is to prevent illnesses and achieve a harmonious (和谐的) state, rather than simply reacting to illness.
However, the rapid spread of these traditions online raises concerns. On social media, complex traditions are often simplified into bite-sized habits like “drink hot water” or “avoid cold foods”. When practices that developed over centuries are reduced to quick advice, the deep philosophical and cultural bases behind them can disappear. What remains is a simplified version of a much richer system of knowledge.
There are also practical concerns. While many people use TCM for relaxation and preventative care, scientists note that some herbal (草药) treatments lack enough medical evidence and can even carry risks. The line between a cultural practice and medical advice can easily be unclear online.
Despite these debates, the popularity of Chinese wellness reflects a real search for balance in today’s fast-paced world. Whether people are embracing the deep philosophy or simply the beauty of these traditions, it’s clear that TCM has firmly entered the global self-care conversation.
8. How do online platforms present TCM practices according to the passage?
A. As romantic personal choices. B. As advanced medical treatments.
C. As fashionable lifestyle habits. D. As easy-to-follow daily health tips.
9. What is a key feature of TCM’s approach to health compared with Western medicine?
A. It aims at inner harmony. B. It treats each symptom separately.
C. It depends on the environment. D. It uses traditional Chinese medicine.
10. What concern does the author raise about the spread of TCM on social media?
A. Unclear herbal treatments. B. Unnecessary medical expense.
C. Overemphasis on quick advice. D. Loss of deeper cultural meaning.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To discuss TCM’s rising online popularity.
B. To describe how to use TCM practices.
C. To argue TCM is better than Western medicine.
D. To warn against online TCM health trends.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中医养生理念在社交媒体上迅速走红,成为年轻人追捧的日常健康习惯,但作者也指出其背后深厚的文化内涵可能被简化,并提醒人们理性看待。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Videos on platforms like TikTok and Instagram romanticize TCM practices. They show people boiling apples for better digestion, changing iced coffee to hot water, or wearing slippers indoors — small habits like these are presented as keys to a longer, healthier life. (TikTok和Instagram等平台上的视频将中医实践浪漫化。它们展示人们煮苹果以促进消化、把冰咖啡换成热水、或在室内穿拖鞋——像这样的小习惯被呈现为通往更长寿、更健康生活的钥匙。)”可知,社交媒体将中医实践包装成简单易行的日常健康小贴士。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Unlike Western medicine, which often treats symptoms (症状) one by one, TCM focuses on balance within the body. It uses ideas such as qi (vital energy), yin and yang, and the interaction between the body and its environment. The goal is to prevent illnesses and achieve a harmonious (和谐的) state, rather than simply reacting to illness.(与通常逐个治疗症状的西医不同,中医注重身体内部的平衡。它运用气、阴阳以及身体与环境相互作用等理念。其目标是预防疾病并实现和谐状态,而不是简单地对疾病做出反应。)”可知,中医与西医相比的一个关键特征是其追求内在的和谐。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“On social media, complex traditions are often simplified into bite-sized habits like “drink hot water” or “avoid cold foods”. When practices that developed over centuries are reduced to quick advice, the deep philosophical and cultural bases behind them can disappear. What remains is a simplified version of a much richer system of knowledge. (在社交媒体上,复杂的传统经常被简化成像“喝热水”或“避免生冷食物”这样的碎片化习惯。当发展了几个世纪的做法被缩减为快速建议时,它们背后深厚的哲学和文化基础可能会消失。剩下的只是一个更丰富知识体系被简化了的版本。)”可知,作者担忧中医在社交媒体上的传播会导致其深层文化意义的丧失。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段“But recently, it has found a new stage: social media. From the well-known gua sha tools to the practice of drinking hot water, TCM-inspired habits are becoming popular in health routines around the world. (但最近,它找到了一个新舞台:社交媒体。从著名的刮痧工具到喝热水的做法,受中医启发的生活习惯正在世界各地的健康日常中变得流行。)”以及最后一段“Despite these debates, the popularity of Chinese wellness reflects a real search for balance in today’s fast-paced world. (尽管存在这些争议,中医养生的流行反映了在当今快节奏的世界中对平衡的真实追求。)”可知,文章主要讨论了中医在社交媒体上日益走红的现象,并分析了其背后的原因及引发的担忧,整体旨在讨论中医在网络上日益流行的现象。

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."
12. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers' texting in the US?
A. Ineffective. B. Unnecessary.
C. Inconsistent. D. Unfair.
13. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out?
A. Where a driver came from. B. Whether a driver used their phone.
C. How fast a driver was going. D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
14. What does the underlined word "something" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Advice. B. Data. C. Tests. D. Laws.
15. 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.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文一篇说明文。为解决司机在开车时使用手机造成“分神”,引发交通事故的问题,纽约的一名立法者提出使用Textalyzer(短信监控器)的技术来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“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.”(在过去的七年里,大多数州都禁止司机发短信,公共服务活动也尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。)以及第二段中“Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse.”(然而,无论以何种标准衡量,这个问题似乎都在恶化。)可知,大多数州使用了各种各样的方法说服司机们在开车的时候放下手机,可是情况却越来越糟糕。所以各种方法是无效的。A选项ineffective意为“无效的”,与此相符。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“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.”(这项技术可以确定司机是否发了短信、发了邮件,或者做了纽约免提驾驶法不允许的其他事情。)可知,Textalyzer能够确定的是司机是否使用了手机发短信、邮件以及其他驾驶法不允许的行为。B 选项意为“是否司机使用了手机。”与此相符,故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据句中的“We need something on the books that can change people's behavior.”(我们需要一些能改变人们行为的东西,)可知,something是能够改变人们的行为的事情。根据下文的“If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, "people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.”(他说,如果Textalyzer法案成为法律,“人们会更害怕拿起手机。)可知,人们的行为会改变的条件是当Textalyzer法案成为法律。受到法律的约束和惩罚,司机们才不会在开车的时候使用手机。故something指代的是法律。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文,第一段和第二段阐述的是“虽然大多数州已经尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。可是问题却越来越严重”。第三段中“That is partly because people are driving more.”(部分原因是开车的人越来越多)可知,解释了该行为产生的部分原因。第四段至第五段讲述的是为了解决该问题是纽约立法者提出了一个新的想法即利用Textalyzer技术,来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。最后一段讲述的是:相关人士呼吁该项技术能够成为真正的法案由此才能真正地改变人们的行为。故B选项Texting and Driving? Watch Out for the Textalyzer(发短信还是在开车?防范短信监控器。)适合文章的标题。故选B。

Ease the Sunday Scares
Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax. But as the weekend comes to an end, many of us are missing out on “Sunday Funday” and instead experiencing a sense of anxiety and even fear of the upcoming week.
That sense of fear on Sunday can come from many different sources. Fear of failure, criticism at work, especially from high-pressure jobs. A reminder after a weekend of “me time” that will be given to your work the next five days. Exhaustion (疲惫不堪) after a busy weekend, making you worried about the work of the coming week. ____16____ Here’s how experts say you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety.
Discover your anxiety sources.
Anxiety is a normal human experience, and one of the main ways to manage it is to discover your personal reasons. ____17____ Is it a test, meeting or speech? Even if there’s not a single reason behind your Sunday anxiety, organizing the stress you expect from the week ahead into bite-sized chunks (小片段) can help make it all more manageable.
Don’t forget to relax.
When planning your Sunday, try not to cram in (塞进去) too many things. ____18____ Maybe a sleep, maybe a midafternoon shower or bath, maybe an engaging movie or show. Whatever feels like a helpful distraction to get away from the scares.
____19____
Dealing with Sunday anxiety isn’t only about thinking less about the bad things of the coming week. Having something to expect gives you something pleasant to think about.

B. Create excitement for the coming week.
C. Try to find out what’s really causing you to fear the week.

【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了周日焦虑很普遍,可通过找到焦虑根源、周日留时间放松、为下周安排期待之事,来缓解周末结束时对新一周的不安。
【16题详解】
前文“That sense of fear on Sunday can come from many different sources. Fear of failure, criticism at work, especially from high-pressure jobs. A reminder after a weekend of “me time” that will be given to your work the next five days.( 周日的那种恐惧感可能来自许多不同的来源。害怕失败,害怕工作中的批评,尤其是来自高压工作的批评。度过了满是“自我时光”的周末后,你会意识到接下来五天的时间都要交给工作。)”列举了周日焦虑的多种来源,后文“Here’s how experts say you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety.( 专家建议,你可以通过以下方式来缓解周末结束后的焦虑。)”直接引出专家给出的缓解方法。F项“But even though the Sunday scares are common, they are manageable.(但尽管周日焦虑很常见,它们是可以被应对的。)” 起到承上启下的过渡作用,既承接前文的现象,又自然引出下文的解决方案。
【17题详解】
本段主旨是“Discover your anxiety sources.(找到你的焦虑来源。)”。前文“Anxiety is a normal human experience, and one of the main ways to manage it is to discover your personal reasons.( 焦虑是人类正常的情绪体验,而应对焦虑的主要方法之一就是找出其背后的原因。)”指出管理焦虑的核心方法之一是找到个人原因,后文“Is it a test, meeting or speech?( 是考试、会议还是演讲)”用问句举例具体的焦虑触发事件(考试、会议、演讲)。C 项“Try to find out what’s really causing you to fear the week.(试着找出到底是什么让你对新的一周感到恐惧。)”紧扣段落主旨,衔接前后逻辑,引导读者定位具体焦虑源
【18题详解】
本段主旨是“Don’t forget to relax.(别忘了放松。)”。前文“When planning your Sunday, try not to cram in (塞进去) too many things.( 在规划周日活动时,尽量不要把太多事情安排得紧凑。)”建议周日不要安排太多事情,后文“Maybe a sleep, maybe a midafternoon shower or bath, maybe an engaging movie or show.( 可能是小睡一会儿,或是下午的淋浴或泡澡,又或者看一部有趣的电影或节目。)”列举了睡觉、泡澡、看剧等具体放松方式。E 项“It’s important to make space for relaxing activities to refresh yourself.(留出空间进行放松活动来恢复精力很重要。)”呼应段落主题,承接前文“不要安排过满”的建议,同时引出后文的具体例子。
【19题详解】
本题为段落小标题。下文“Dealing with Sunday anxiety isn’t only about thinking less about the bad things of the coming week. Having something to expect gives you something pleasant to think about. Instead of focusing on the awful things from the upcoming week, build excitement over a coffee or lunch date with a friend or workmate. ( 应对周日的焦虑,不只是减少对即将到来一周糟糕事情的担忧。有期待的事物能带来一些令人愉快的思绪。与其专注于接下来一周的不愉快,不如为与朋友或同事的咖啡或午餐约会增添期待感。)”可知,本段核心内容是:通过规划值得期待的事(如和朋友喝咖啡、吃午餐),让自己产生愉悦的期待感,而非只关注下周的糟糕事。B项“Create excitement for the coming week.(为下周创造兴奋感。)”准确概括了段落核心,符合小标题的概括性特征。
【20题详解】
前文“Instead of focusing on the awful things from the upcoming week, build excitement over a coffee or lunch date with a friend or workmate. (与其专注于即将到来周的不快,不如为与朋友或同事的咖啡或午餐约会增添期待感。)”给出具体建议 —— 把注意力放在和朋友/同事的约会这类愉快的事上,而非烦心事。G 项“This gives you the opportunity to change your thoughts to something fun and helpful.(这给了你一个机会,将想法转向有趣且有益的事情。)”中,This指代前文的做法,清晰说明了该建议的作用,逻辑衔接紧密。

【解析】
【46题详解】
句意:我眼中含着感激的泪水,向校长王老师道谢。原句核心结构:“With + 名词短语 + 介词短语”构成with复合结构,放在句首作伴随状语,描述主语的状态。原句With butterflies in my stomach(心里七上八下)用该结构描述情绪状态;仿写对应替换为With tears of gratitude in my eyes(眼里满含感激的泪水),完全沿用“with + 情绪相关名词 + 方位介词短语”的结构,精准匹配原句语法功能。
【47题详解】
句意:抬头一看,只见王老师正微笑着站在我的身旁。原句核心结构:现在分词短语放句首作状语,动作由主句主语主动发出,逻辑主语与主句主语一致。原句Turning around是主语 I主动发出的动作;仿写将动作替换为Looking up,同样是主语I主动发出,后接主句I saw...,严格遵循“现在分词状语 + 主句”的结构,逻辑主语统一。
【48题详解】
句意:王老师如此热情地鼓励我,让我重拾了信心。原句核心结构:so + 副词 + that引导结果状语从句,表示 “如此…… 以至于……”。原句用副词fast修饰动词spoke;仿写对应用副词warmly修饰动词encouraged,用so修饰,后接that引导的结果从句,完全复刻“so +副词 + that结果句”的固定句式。
【49题详解】
句意:我不仅能用言语表达对王老师的感谢,而且我还可以通过更加努力学习来回报他的好意。原句核心结构:Not only置于句首引起部分倒装(前半句倒装,but also后半句用陈述语序),结构为:Not only + 情态动词/助动词 +主语 +谓语 + ..., but also + 主语 + 谓语 + ...。仿写严格遵守“前倒后不倒”规则:Not only后把情态动词can提到主语I前,but also后保持正常陈述语序,和原句倒装规则完全对应。
【50题详解】
句意:看到王老师那鼓励的微笑,我深受感动。分析句子可知,原句核心结构:主语 + be + 情绪形容词 + at the sight of + 名词,表示“一看到……就产生某种情绪”。原句情绪形容词为frightened,触发情绪的对象是the test paper;仿写将情绪形容词替换为deeply moved,触发对象替换为Mr. Wang’s encouraging smile,完整保留原句的固定搭配结构。

My teacher, Mrs. Bushy, made an announcement as Mother’s Day was drawing near. “I’m going to draw a circle that looks like the sun on a piece of paper,” she told us. “And each one of the rays (光束) of light that surrounds the sun will be a sentence that each of you has written about why your mother is special.”
I was so excited for my turn. I knew I had the best answer. I waited to let Mrs. Bushy know my ray of sunshine should read: “My mother loves me a lot.” My friend Nina went first: “My mother has pretty brown hair.” “That’s pretty good,” I thought, “but I do believe mine is better.” Next was Matthew: “My mother loves me a lot!” Mrs. Bushy nodded. “That’s a perfect sentence for a ray of sunshine.”
I couldn’t believe it. Someone had copied my words before I’d even had a chance to share my sentence. I felt awkward and wronged, not knowing what to do at all. I was up next. I whispered (小声说) my answer to Mrs. Bushy nervously. “That’s very good, Lizzy,” she said, moving on. Mrs. Bushy wrote all our sentences around the sun and then made copies for the entire class to take home for our mothers.
After returning home, I handed the paper to my mom carelessly and couldn’t hold back my feelings. Then I told her everything. Mom asked gently, “Which ray is yours, honey?” I pointed at it quietly. On my ray were the awkward words: “My mother is a good lover.”
Mom laughed softly. I stared at her in confusion. “It’s not funny at all — it’s the most precious gift I’ve ever received,” she said warmly. “I know you had to think of a new sentence when your idea was taken. However, what matters is not the words themselves, but your sincere love for me hidden in your heart. Every thought you have is the brightest sunshine to me.” Suddenly, I felt my day bright again.
4. What was the children’s task for Mother’s Day?
A. Drawing a picture of the bright sun.
B. Sharing a quality of their mothers.
C. Creating a story about their families.
D. Decorating a card for Mrs. Bushy.

D. Laughing is the best way to deal with awkwardness.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for thousands of years. But recently, it has found a new stage: social media. From the well-known gua sha tools to the practice of drinking hot water, TCM-inspired habits are becoming popular in health routines around the world.
Videos on platforms like TikTok and Instagram romanticize TCM practices. They show people boiling apples for better digestion, changing iced coffee to hot water, or wearing slippers indoors — small habits like these are presented as keys to a longer, healthier life.
But what is behind this trend? Unlike Western medicine, which often treats symptoms (症状) one by one, TCM focuses on balance within the body. It uses ideas such as qi (vital energy), yin and yang, and the interaction between the body and its environment. The goal is to prevent illnesses and achieve a harmonious (和谐的) state, rather than simply reacting to illness.
However, the rapid spread of these traditions online raises concerns. On social media, complex traditions are often simplified into bite-sized habits like “drink hot water” or “avoid cold foods”. When practices that developed over centuries are reduced to quick advice, the deep philosophical and cultural bases behind them can disappear. What remains is a simplified version of a much richer system of knowledge.
There are also practical concerns. While many people use TCM for relaxation and preventative care, scientists note that some herbal (草药) treatments lack enough medical evidence and can even carry risks. The line between a cultural practice and medical advice can easily be unclear online.
Despite these debates, the popularity of Chinese wellness reflects a real search for balance in today’s fast-paced world. Whether people are embracing the deep philosophy or simply the beauty of these traditions, it’s clear that TCM has firmly entered the global self-care conversation.
8. How do online platforms present TCM practices according to the passage?
A. As romantic personal choices. B. As advanced medical treatments.
C. As fashionable lifestyle habits. D. As easy-to-follow daily health tips.
9. What is a key feature of TCM’s approach to health compared with Western medicine?
A. It aims at inner harmony. B. It treats each symptom separately.
C. It depends on the environment. D. It uses traditional Chinese medicine.
10. What concern does the author raise about the spread of TCM on social media?
A. Unclear herbal treatments. B. Unnecessary medical expense.
C. Overemphasis on quick advice. D. Loss of deeper cultural meaning.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To discuss TCM’s rising online popularity.
B. To describe how to use TCM practices.
C. To argue TCM is better than Western medicine.
D. To warn against online TCM health trends.

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."
12. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers' texting in the US?
A. Ineffective. B. Unnecessary.
C. Inconsistent. D. Unfair.
13. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out?
A. Where a driver came from. B. Whether a driver used their phone.
C. How fast a driver was going. D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
14. What does the underlined word "something" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Advice. B. Data. C. Tests. D. Laws.
15. 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.

Ease the Sunday Scares
Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax. But as the weekend comes to an end, many of us are missing out on “Sunday Funday” and instead experiencing a sense of anxiety and even fear of the upcoming week.
