2、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A recent study suggests that practicing Tai Chi, a Chinese martial art (involve) slow, controlled movements, may help slow the progression of Parkinson's disease, leadinga reduced need for medicine over time. Parkinson's disease(mark) by symptoms such as slowness of movement, muscle stiffness, and body trembling. Previous studies indicated the benefits of Tai Chi for Parkinson's patients, but(it) long-term effects were unclear.
In this study, researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China monitored 334 Parkinson's patients from January 2016 to June 2021. The participants were divided into two groups, of147 patients practiced Tai Chi twice a week for an hour, while the remaining 187 continued with their standard care without practicing Tai Chi.
(Results showed that the Tai Chi group experienced slower disease progression,(little) need for additional medical care, and improved cognitive function, sleep, and quality of life(compare) to the non-Tai Chi group.
However, the researchers acknowledge certain(limit) of the study. One of its drawbacks is that the study is observational andnumber of participants is relatively small. Nevertheless, the study indicates that Tai Chi may have long-term benefits for both motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease,(potential) delaying the development of the disease.

3、Today I'm a member of the UN Global Education First Initiative Youth Advocacy Group. It started when I was in secondary school. I1 a UNESCO club, a platform that brings students together to discuss school2 and the pressing things concerning them.
After secondary school, I3 for non-governmental organization. It was then that I began to4 great importance to community development. I participated in5 as to peace and environment.6 myself to the development of community was a great pleasure for me.
I met many7 as some people took volunteer work lightly. They felt it wasted time, or thought working without a salary was8. Even some friends and relatives tried to9 me to quit volunteering. All of these got me to feel very10 at some point, but I could not give up because it was a/an11 worthwhile cause. I decided not to follow their advice but to12 my work. One day, a group of young people came to me and said they were all13 for the changes I had brought into their lives14 peer education. I was so happy and realized when15 our own judgment, we could create influences.

4、Picture this: you are running late to drop your kids off at school in the morning. On top of this, it is pouring rain outside. While you are driving down the highway, another car cuts you off. You begin to think they must be a rude person who is also a terrible driver. A couple of minutes later, you, yourself accidentally cut off someone. You inform yourself your action is a result of the fact that you are late for your child's drop-off and you cannot see well because of the rain. Why is it that we automatically assume others' negative actions are a result of who they are as a person while giving ourselves excuses? The actor-observer bias (偏差) is an explanation for this confusing phenomenon.
When you explain someone's behavior based on internal factors, like assuming the person who cuts you off is a rude person, but attributing (把……归因于) your own behavior to external situational factors, you are engaging in the actor-observer bias.
So why does the actor-observer effect occur? The general explanation is that it occurs as a defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity. We would rather believe that our faults come from factors we cannot control because then we cannot change them and it is easier for us to accept the outcome.
The actor-observer bias is the cause of many arguments between the actor and the observer as a result of a misunderstanding of the effect of external and internal factors. How can we stop thinking this way and become more sympathetic to the people around us? This is where it gets tricky because the observer's internal attributions are an automatic process which means they occur almost immediately and unconsciously (无意识地).
In order to become more sympathetic towards surrounding people in situations, we must make the attributions a controlled process. A controlled process is when the observer purposely focuses attention on something and is consciously aware of the process, unlike an automatic process. Knowing what the actor-observer effect is and how it can influence your own attributions is a good step toward becoming more sympathetic and kinder to people you interact with.
(1)、According to the passage, the actor-observer bias arises because people tend to:A、Assume others' actions are driven by their inherent traits, but their own by temporary circumstances. B、Focus more on external factors when judging others' behavior than their own. C、Blame others for intentional rudeness rather than accidental mistakes. D、Overlook situational influences when explaining both others' and their own actions.(2)、The author suggests that the actor-observer bias serves as a "defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity." What is the underlying logic of this mechanism?A、By attributing others' flaws to their character, we reinforce our belief in our own moral superiority. B、By blaming external factors for our mistakes, we avoid confronting our own limitations. C、By distinguishing between "who we are" and "what we do," we preserve a positive self-image. D、By minimizing the impact of our actions, we reduce guilt and maintain social approval.(3)、The passage states that overcoming the actor-observer bias requires making attributions a "controlled process." Why is this challenging in practice?A、Controlled processes demand constant awareness and effort, which is cognitively exhausting. B、People are inherently resistant to changing their natural ways of interpreting behavior. C、External factors are often too complex to identify or measure accurately. D、The brain prioritizes speed over accuracy when processing social information.(4)、Suppose you witness a stranger shout at a barista. Applying the actor-observer bias, which of the following best reflects how you (the observer) and the stranger (the actor) might interpret the same event?A、Observer: "He's just a rude person." Actor: "I've had a terrible day and needed to vent." B、Observer: "He must be in a hurry." Actor: "That barista was extremely slow." C、Observer: "The barista probably made a mistake." Actor: "I'm usually very patient." D、Observer: "He's having a bad day." Actor: "The barista disrespected me first." -
5、Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu's imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life — wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.
But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn't expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction's highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It's the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.
In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917—2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke's 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.
"My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea," Liu said. "That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe."
But no matter how far away Liu's imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on "hard science". Liu's works aren't simply daydreams.
(1)、What can be inferred about Liu Cixin's professional background as a computer engineer and his sci-fi writing?A、His engineering job provided technical knowledge that grounded his sci-fi in "hard science." B、His work at the power plant directly inspired the plots of The Three-Body Problemand The Wandering Earth. C、He quit his job immediately after winning the Hugo Award to focus full-time on writing. D、His engineering skills made him more critical of traditional sci-fi's lack of scientific rigor.(2)、The passage mentions that Liu Cixin "stayed rational" in his novels despite his vast imagination. Which of the following best explains the significance of this balance?A、It distinguishes his works from other sci-fi that prioritize emotional storytelling over logic. B、It allows his speculative ideas (e.g., alien invasions, solar system collapse) to explore deeper themes like civilization survival. C、It reflects his belief that imagination without scientific basis is unworthy of being called "sci-fi." D、It makes his novels more accessible to readers unfamiliar with complex scientific concepts.(3)、Why does the author highlight that Liu Cixin was the "first Asian" to win the Hugo Award and the first Chinese writer to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award?A、To emphasize the global recognition of Chinese sci-fi's growing influence. B、To criticize Western-dominated literary awards for overlooking Asian authors previously. C、To suggest that Liu's success was due to his unique cultural perspective as a Chinese writer. D、To imply that these awards are less prestigious than others he might have won.(4)、Liu Cixin compared reading 2001: A Space Odysseyto "a narrow river finally seeing the sea." What does this metaphor reveal about the impact of Clarke's work on him?A、It expanded his understanding of the universe and ignited his sense of awe toward cosmic mystery. B、It taught him technical writing skills that he later applied to his own novels. C、It made him realize that sci-fi should focus on individual rather than universal themes. D、It convinced him to abandon his engineering career to pursue writing full-time. -
6、A pilot program in North County is teaching students about nutrition and where their food comes from. The five-week Farm to School program is a partnership between Escondido Union School District and the Farm to Institution Center. It encourages elementary school children to try vegetables they may not have tried before.
"I think that understanding just the roots of where our food comes from and how it gets to our table is meaningful," said Jeremy Lyche, principal of Bernardo Elementary School. "You saw the kids' excitement today. They love it."
The students in Paul Erickson's class have been in the program for over a month. "We've been doing multiple lessons where we're learning about and teaching about local farms in our community, as well as some healthier choices like produce(农产品), just getting students to join in farming." Erickson said.
Once a week for the past five weeks, Alexis Anderson from the Farm to Institution Center has been coming by to teach these kids more about farming and what it takes to get fresh produce to their tables. Wednesday was the students' last session in the program. She said the main takeaway for the kids is learning where their food comes from.
"Eat and support local food because it not only benefits their community economically, but also benefits their health and just education overall of knowing what's available," Anderson said.
After Wednesday's lesson, the students went to the school garden for a game of bingo to identify the things they've learned. One of the goals of the school garden is for the students to try new things. For Escondido Union School District, the ultimate goal for the school garden is for the produce to end up in the cafeteria for the children to eat. But there are some health regulations the district still needs to overcome before that can happen.
(1)、What is the purpose of the Farm to School program?A、To promote local farms and their products. B、To provide money for school gardens. C、To get students to know the source of food. D、To motivate children to plant vegetables.(2)、What does the underlined word " takeaway" probably mean in Paragraph 4?A、Focus. B、Gain. C、Challenge. D、Inspiration.(3)、Which is the benefit of eating locally according to Anderson?A、It supports the local economy. B、It reduces the food waste. C、It lowers food production cost. D、It improves farming skills.(4)、What should the school district do to achieve their goal?A、Expand the garden to produce more food. B、Increase the variety of vegetables grown. C、Train more teachers to take part in the program. D、Ensure the produce meets health regulations. -
