2、 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Doctors in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have followed the meal-time habits of more than 500 people for six years, (find) weight change is most affected by the size and (frequent) of meals rather than the interval ( 间 隔 ) from first to last meal. It challenges the popular trend of intermittent fasting ( 禁 食 疗 方 ) a useful weight loss strategy.
Intermittent fasting, also referred to as time-restricted feeding, is a dietary strategy where all meals (consume) during a short window of time each day. These windows can extend from 6 to 10 hours, resulting in a person essentially fasting for up to 18 hours each day.
The idea reveals is no link between the lime of a person's eating window each day and weight changes. "Based on other studies that have come out, including (we), we are starting to think timing of meals most likely doesn't produce instant impact on weight loss," said doctor Bennett. "What does matter, however, is the total number of medium and large meals a person eats over the day." It suggests simply eating smaller meals, less frequently, is ultimately leads to weight loss.
All of this doesn't mean intermittent fasting strategies won't help. But what does seem increasingly clear is that the weight loss benefits occasionally(see) with these eating strategies may be primarily driven by a reduced caloric intake. It doesn't mean you can simply eat all you want in a short window each day and still expect(lose) weight.

I had not visited Eton for many years. When one day passing from the Fellows' Library into the Gallery, I caught sight of the1 of my school friend Digby Dolben hanging just without the door among our most2 contemporaries. I was3 arrested and as I stood gazing on it, my4 asked me if I knew who it was. I was thinking that I must be almost the only person who would know him. Far 5 of my boyhood were crowding6 upon me: he was standing again beside me in the eager promise of his youth.
This portrait-gallery of old Etonians is very7 : outstanding distinction of birth or excellent qualities may win you a place there.8 , how came Dolben there? It was 9 he was a poet; and yet his poems were not known. They were carefully 10 by his family and a few friends. Indeed, such of his poems as could have come to the eyes of the authorities who approved of this memorial would not11 it. There was another12 — the portrait bears its own certification. Though you might not perhaps understand the poet in it, you can see the soul immersed in deep thought, the habit of stainless (无瑕的) life, of13 , of enthusiasm for high ideals. Such a being must have14 remarkably among his fellows. When his early death endeared ( 使价值更高) his memory, loving grief would generously15 him the glory which he had never worn.

4、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Ramirez Castañeda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn't always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.
"It's not that I'm a bad scientist," she says. "It's just because of the language."
Castañeda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. A research looked through more than 400, 000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1, 234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren't in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston's fish owl, the largest owl species.
Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that.
Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.
"So we're losing observations for science, too, " says Castañeda. "For me, it's not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual ( 多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century."
(1)、What prevented Castañeda's discoveries from being more widely known?A、Poor management. B、Opposition from her colleagues. C、Her bad reputation. D、The language barrier.(2)、What's the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research?A、Inefficient wildlife conservation. B、A knowledge gap in the scientific world. C、A growing interest in non-English papers. D、Inadequate job opportunities for translators.(3)、What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs?A、The urgency to protect rare species. B、The need to adopt one global language. C、The challenges in translating scientific texts. D、The biodiversity on the South American continent.(4)、What is presented in the last paragraph of the text?A、A potential solution. B、A theoretical model. C、A popular belief. D、A global trend. -
5、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Whenever I order food for delivery, I play a little game to guess how many sets of tableware(餐具)the restaurant will provide with my meal. Sometimes restaurants will throw in two, three or four sets for just one order. But I rarely need any tableware at all, and the waste goes into the trash or collects dust in a kitchen drawer.
Researchers working with Chinese technology group Alibaba tried a simple approach to this problem. Instead of just wastefully doling out tableware, the company required food-delivery customers in some cities in China to pick how many sets of tableware they wanted to receive. The default (默认设置)was set at zero. The result, published today in the journal Science, was a 638% increase in the share of no-tableware orders. If applied across China, researchers found, the approach would save nearly 22 billion sets of plastic tableware. The study doesn't cover carbon emissions, but it's safe to say that the impact would be significant. It struck me as a useful reminder of the many low-hanging fruits across the economy that can cut waste, and emissions.
Nudging its customers cost Alibaba nothing more than a few hours of software engineering time and the impact it brought was immense. The concept of nudging comes from the field of behavioral economics known as nudge theory. It suggests that a slight action can encourage good human behavior without the need for policies that limit choice or economic punishment that raises the cost of bad behavior. To nudge customers to eat better, for example, a restaurant might organize its menu by listing healthy options first and bury unhealthy ones at the bottom. More recently, some big companies like Google have also begun to use nudges to advance climate objectives.
Behavioral economics broadly, and nudges more specifically, aren't without controversy. Some might think it assigns consumers responsibility for addressing environmental challenges. But there is another way to look at it. In the absence of necessary policy—and policy is needed 一companies can help encourage a widespread shift of consumer behavior.
And all of that behavioral change can add up. The International Energy Agency found in 2021 that small behavioral changes in energy consumption such as walking instead of driving and adjusting the thermostat could in total shave off 4% of global emissions. The more that companies can do to facilitate such changes, the better.
(1)、What did Alibaba do with tableware waste?A、It stopped restaurants from handing out tableware. B、It withdrew unused tableware from customers. C、It updated the food -delivery device regularly. D、It allowed picking tableware at customers' demand.(2)、What do the underlined words "low-hanging fruits" mean in paragraph 2?A、Easily accessible things. B、Fast increasing orders. C、Exceptionally tough choices. D、Widely accepted strategies.(3)、What can we learn about nudge theory from paragraph 3?A、It brings about economic loss. B、It results from consumption policies. C、It indicates small action changes behaviour. D、It implies bad behaviour impacts economy.(4)、What is the main idea of the text?A、Nudge theory affects behaviors. B、Good behaviors boost economy. C、Nudging helps build a greener world. D、Behavioral economics benefits customers. -
6、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A rising star from Virginia has secured the title of "America's Top Young Scientist" for his groundbreaking creation — a bar of soap designed to battle against skin cancer. At just 14 years old, Heman Bekele emerged as the victor of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge, standing out among the ten finalists with his innovative creation known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap (SCTS).
Bekele's brilliant concept centers on the development of a soap that is not only affordable, but also has the potential to reactivate the body's natural defenders of the skin to stop skin cancer. In Bekele's own words, "Curing cancer, one bar of soap at a time. "He always has endless passion for biology and technology, and the Young Scientist Challenge just provided him with the perfect platform to display his ideas. Reflecting on his inspiration, Bekele shared that his childhood played a significant role in shaping his innovative thinking. Having witnessed people work tirelessly under the sun, he couldn't help but wonder how many were aware of the risks associated with constant sun exposure.
"I wanted to make my idea not only scientifically exceptional but also accessible to a broad audience," Bekele expressed during an interview with the media. He received invaluable guidance from Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist, who connected him with other scientists to aid him in reaching his ambitious plans.
During his presentation, Bekele passionately expressed his vision of turning the soap into "a symbol of hope, accessibility, and a world where skin cancer treatment is within reach for all."
Over the coming five years, Bekele longs to perfect his invention and establish a nonprofit organization devoted to distributing his innovative creation to more places including undeveloped communities, offering hope and a practical solution in the fight against skin cancer.

18、 第二节 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。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze; it felt as though my soul departed (离开) my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the name list posted on the wall of the locker room; my heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends' names on that list but could not find mine. John, Bryce, Ro, I thought, everybody is on here except me. At that moment, I froze; I just could not accept that all my friends were on the basketball team but I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. "Hey coach, are you sure that the name list you posted is correct?" I asked anxiously.
"Yes. Sorry if you did not make it this year. There is always next year," the coach replied without the slightest bit of regret.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears building in my eyes, and I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As soon as I walked out, I saw my friends crowding into the locker room to look at the team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I slowly walked away, every one of them jumping around with excitement after seeing that they made the team.
I felt dead inside,like nothing mattered. I trudged (步履艰难) through the rest of school; walking was such a burden that it felt as if I had a 100-pound weight tied to my backpack. My mind was also blank for the rest of the school day; everything my teachers said went in one ear and out the other.
After school, as I walked to the parking lot to get picked up, I saw all my friends gathered near the back of the lot,celebrating and joking around. I detoured (绕道) around the side of the school to avoid them, trying not to think about being one of the only people in our friend group to not make the team.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150左右。(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I saw my father's red car pull up near the school lot.
After almost a year of training, I tried out for my seventh-grade team.

20、 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。将答案 填写在答题纸的相应位置。
Bees are disappearing. But does it (real) matter if bees disappear? Are they so important to our environment? The short answer is, yes, it does matter and yes, they are important. Bees fly around from flower to flower, (look) for pollen (花粉). They use these to produce honey, is food for their colonies. But at the same time, the bees help to move pollen from one flower to another. This process (call) pollination (授粉). Pollination means that the flowers can create seeds and new flowers. bees, many flowers can't make seeds or fruit. In fact, bees are responsible for the pollination of one (three) of all the plants which we eat. A single hive (蜂箱) with 50,000 honeybees can pollinate 500,000 plants in one day! Imagine world with no apples, carrots, onions, strawberries or, of course, honey. That's a world with no bees.
So, are the bees disappearing? Scientists think that there are several possible reasons, including climate change, disease and pesticides.
But it's not all bad news. Primary schools, businesses, universities and community centres are now setting up their own hives. They enjoy the delicious honey and at the same time they know that they (help) to look after some of the most important (insect) on the planet.
