1、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。
My friend James did some first-aid training last week to learn the fundamentals of the CPR. And he asked if I'd ever done the same.
"Yes," I said, "... and no."
Because, yes, I've attended several resuscitation (复苏) sessions over the years. In fact, despite being shown all the key information at various points in my career, I don't think I can remember any of it now.
What's the problem? Every time I've had this type of training, it's been a perfectly good opportunity to learn: an important topic, taught well, in a focused environment, with plenty to see, hear and do. I've always taken it seriously, too, and been focused. And I've always come away with a wealth of information.
Here's what I should have done—and what you can do now—to make sure any training doesn't go to waste.
• You might be surprised to find that you've got some foundations of knowledge to build on. Pre-testing sparks your curiosity and puts you in a frame of mind to remember.
• Challenge your recall later. If it's hard to remember, but just about possible with effort, then that's perfect. You need that little bit of struggle to start embedding (把……嵌入) information in your brain.
• Keep coming back. Put a note in your diary to test yourself again in a week, then ten days after that, then a month on—leaving longer gaps between checks.
Talking to James has inspired me to book myself onto yet another CPR course. But this time I'm determined to do it right. Remember that it's the next day when the real training begins.
A.Test yourself before you start.
B.Wait a day, then see how much you still know.
C.Stay curious about what you are eager to know.
D.All the basic information has stuck in your mind.
E.But no, I don't exactly feel "trained" to save lives.
F.Yet virtually nothing has ever made it to my long-term memory.
G.Use the questions you wrote on the day to keep challenging yourself.

Could a new treatment developed by the US company Lilly mean "the beginning of the end" of Alzheimer's? Could we even cure it some day? These are headlines and questions swirling (流传) around after news of a new drug, called donanemab, showed promising results in phase-3 trials.
The brain science behind Alzheimer's is complex, but CT and MRJ scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain, including the abnormal build-up of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles. The damage starts in the parts of the brain essential for forming memories but then spreads throughout the organ, with brain tissue shrinking significantly.
Developing treatments for Alzheimer's has been a challenge, with almost 20 years passing with no new drugs. But in the last year, two new ones have emerged: donanemab and lecanemab. Neither are cures or magic bullets for the disease, but they do address key symptoms. They target the amyloid proteins that can accumulate in the brain and damage neurons, slowing down its progression.
While this news is exciting, there are major caveats. One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS. The cost is estimated to be about £20,000 per person per year of treatment.
Another is the serious side effects: in the study, brain swelling occurred in 24% of participants and brain bleeding occurred in 31.4% on the drug compared with 13.6% in the placebo (安慰剂) group. There were also three deaths during the trial.
Part of the problem for me, as an academic, in assessing the drug is that the full results of the trial haven't yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-review journal. We cannot access the full data or examine the trial yet, and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs. Trial results need to be assessed by an independent body of experts.
While it is unlikely to change clinical practice until at least 2025, the news of donanemab is again an indication that science is continuing to make progress when it comes to treating the major causes of illness and death, even one related to the highly complex inner workings of the brain. So, there are caveats and the need for caution, but these new drugs are indeed the grounds for that rare thing these days: hope.
(1)、What can we learn about Alzheimer's from the passage?A、There exists a new drug to cure it completely. B、Most people will develop Alzheimer's when they are old. C、It is caused by the accumulation of some proteins in the brain. D、It results from the loss of memories as people get older.(2)、What does the underlined word "caveats" mean in paragraph 4?A、Warnings. B、Discussions. C、Debates. D、Weaknesses.(3)、What is the problem of the new drug according to the author as an academic?A、It has serious side effects such as brain bleeding and deaths. B、The effectiveness may be blown up without fair assessment. C、The cost of the new drug is out of reach for ordinary people. D、There is no possibility for new drugs to be admitted into the NHS.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards the new drug?A、Approving. B、Doubtful. C、Unclear. D、Indifferent. -

In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore, we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to rely on willpower not to click eye-catching "news", he'll surely fail. So, it's better to just keep them out of sight to begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase "Don't feed the trolls." Trolls are actors who intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it's best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
(1)、What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2?A、It offers little information. B、It features depressing stories. C、It saves time for Internet users. D、It seeks profits from each click.(2)、Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3?A、To discuss the quality of information. B、To prove the benefits of healthy food. C、To show the importance of environments. D、To explain the effectiveness of willpower.(3)、What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text?A、Reveal their intention. B、Turn a deaf ear to them. C、Correct their behaviour. D、Send hard facts to them.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy. B、Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age. C、Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet. D、Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users. -

In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift. On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I've taken. To me, the room represents how I've found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.
(1)、What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy?A、Inspiring and practical. B、Tiring yet delightful. C、Exciting and worthwhile. D、Difficult yet engaging.(2)、Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2?A、He wanted to focus on his work. B、He was struck by sudden sorrow. C、He attempted to behave like an adult. D、He was faced with increasing pressure.(3)、What did the author get from picking up his hobby?A、More fun in the daily routine. B、New journeys in the wild. C、Better skills of observation. D、Different styles of photography.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories B、Appreciating Beauty Behind the Lens C、Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera D、Regaining Pleasure Through Photography -

16、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day.(劳动节) "Enjoy your extra day off," said the teacher to her class. An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
"How was school, Kayla?" asked her mom.
"It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday."
"You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?" asked Kayla's mom with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn't believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
"Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let's get a move on," said Kayla's mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, "Are you serious about working today? Isn't Labor Day a holiday?"
"Yes, Kayla. It is," replied her dad. "But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was celebrated in the first place."
Paragraph 1:
At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents' plan for the holiday.
