This morning it was harder for me to get out of bed than usual. Usually, I have nightmares (噩梦) because of the terrible movies I watched the night before, and sometimes spicy (辛辣的) food makes me feel uncomfortable in sleeping. However, last night I turned all night because my anxiety was at an all-time high. I kept thinking about what my first day of high school would be like. What should I wear What should I put in my schoolbag I finally fell asleep around 5:45 and my alarm started going off at 6.
I couldn’t let those thoughts cloud my mind. I had to prepare myself for one of the most important days of my life. I packed my things and headed out of the door. My first class wasn’t too bad. I listened to my English teacher discuss the importance of themes, but otherwise, it was a pretty easy-going class.
During lunchtime, I had a pizza and an orange soda. I’m grateful for the food not tasting terrible so I wouldn’t keep thinking about that all day. I still didn’t manage to find any new friends to sit with, but I’m just happy I found a quiet place to stay. It would have been uncomfortable if I had to sit in a noisy classroom to eat lunch, or an empty hallway with some kids walking past and laughing.
Once the last bell rang, I was eager to get home and tell Charlie, my childhood friend how my day went at a new school. I was just excited to speak to a familiar voice and share my feelings of the whole day. I wondered how his day went at his new school as well. I got on the same train line that I took to school and headed back home.
Speaking to Charlie on the phone, I found out he made many new friends today. Once I got off the phone, I threw myself on the bed with a long sigh (叹气). Although I’d experience this again tomorrow, I’m glad I got through my first day at school.
24. What made the author fail to fall asleep last night

Every dog should have a loving home, and thanks to a 13-year-old boy named Thiago, many are now closer to finding one.
Thiago is a self-described animal lover hoping to help the homeless dogs in his home city of Ant nio Prado. So, he came up with an idea. Maybe if he could make the dogs on the street look more attractive, they’d have more chances to be adopted (收养). So he began giving baths to dogs in his spare time. This great idea is what led Thiago to create a project called “Sou de rua mas to limpinho” at the end of 2020.
With the help of his father, he began looking for dogs who needed a helping hand. “At the end of last year, I decided that I needed to somehow do something for the animals,” Thiago said. “While talking to my father, I told him about my idea of bathing street dogs so they can stay clean and smell good and people may look at them differently.”
Before the effort truly took off, Thiago and his dad had to work out how to win the dogs over. “Catching dogs on the street is difficult, since they are always frightened and many have suffered from ill treatment,” Thiago explained. “So we spent some time without baths until my father spoke to the public service organization and we started to bathe their newly saved dogs.” In addition to bathing them, Thiago started adding little accessories (配饰) to the dogs, such as little hair pins, to really increase their chances of adoption. The boy’s dad also took pictures of the dogs and posted them online, pointing any possible adopters to the nearby shelters (收容所). “I want people to be not afraid to adopt,” Thiago said. “It’s the best thing in the world.”
28. Why did Thiago create “Sou de rua mas to limpinho”
A. To provide baths for dogs. B. To raise money for animal shelters.
C. To help homeless dogs get adopted. D. To draw public attention to animal care.
29. What was a problem facing Thiago and his dad at the start of the project
A. They were short of bath products. B. The homeless dogs distrusted them.
C. People showed no interest in adoption. D. Possible adopters preferred young dogs.
30. Which of the following best describes Thiago
A. Caring. B. Confident. C. Humorous. D. Serious.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Boy Adopts Dogs in Bad Conditions B. Boy Helps Dogs Find a New Home
C. Lost Dogs Require Getting Adopted D. Homeless Dogs Move into Shelters
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是十三岁的Thiago努力帮助流浪狗找到新家的故事。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Maybe if he could make the dogs on the street look more attractive, they’d have more chances to be adopted (收养). So he began giving baths to dogs in his spare time. This great idea is what led Thiago to create a project called “Sou de rua mas to limpinho” at the end of 2020.(也许如果他能让街上的狗看起来更有吸引力，它们就会有更多的机会被收养。所以他开始在业余时间给狗洗澡。这个伟大的想法促使Thiago在2020年底创建了一个名为“souderua mas to limpinho”的项目。)”可知，Thiago认为让街上的流浪狗看起来更有吸引力，会帮助它们有更多被收养的机会，这一想法促使他创建了“souderua mas to limpinho”的项目，由此可知，Thiago创建“souderua mas to limpinho”项目的目的是帮助流浪狗被收养。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Before the effort truly took off, Thiago and his dad had to work out how to win the dogs over. “Catching dogs on the street is difficult, since they are always frightened and many have suffered from ill treatment,” Thiago explained.(在努力真正开始之前，Thiago和他的父亲必须想办法赢得狗狗们的支持。Thiago解释说：“在街上抓狗很困难，因为它们总是很害怕，而且很多都受到了虐待。”)”可知，在项目开始前，Thiago与父亲要想办法赢得狗狗们的支持，因为狗狗们很害怕，很多受到过虐待，由此可知，在项目开始前，他们面对的问题是狗狗们不信任他们。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“In addition to bathing them, Thiago started adding little accessories (配饰) to the dogs, such as little hair pins, to really increase their chances of adoption. The boy’s dad also took pictures of the dogs and posted them online, pointing any possible adopters to the nearby shelters (收容所).(除了给它们洗澡，Thiago开始给狗狗们添加小配件，比如小发夹，以增加它们被收养的机会。小男孩的父亲还拍下了狗狗的照片，并发布在网上，指出任何可能的收养者都可以去附近的收容所。)”可知，为了增加狗狗们被收养的机会，Thiago除了给它们洗澡外，还弄些小配饰装饰一下，由此可知，小男孩为了流浪给被收养做出很多的努力，所以，他是一个很有爱心的孩子。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段“Every dog should have a loving home, and thanks to a 13-year-old boy named Thiago, many are now closer to finding one.(每只狗都应该有一个温馨的家，多亏了一个名叫Thiago的13岁男孩，许多狗现在离找到一个家更近了一步。)”可知，一个名叫Thiago小男孩帮助流浪狗找到新家更近了一步，结合下文中讲述的Thiago为增加流浪狗被收养的机会而做出的努力可知，本文讲述的是一个小男孩帮助流浪狗找新家的故事，所以本文的标题为“男孩帮助狗狗找新家”与文章内容一致，且概括了本文的主题。故选B项。

Does drinking alcohol really help us stay healthy If so, how much should we have each day Recently a study, co-authored by 512 researchers from 243 institutions, was published in the well-known journal The Lancet. The researchers built a database of more than a thousand alcohol studies and data sources, as well as death and disability records from 195 countries between 1990 and 2016. The goal was to see how alcohol affects the risk of 23 health problems. The number that jumped out, in the end, was zero. Anything more than that was associated with health risks.
"What has been ignored is that no amount of drinking is good for you," said Emmanuela Gakidou, a professor at the University of Washington. "People should no longer think that a drink or two a day is good for you. What's best for you is to not drink at all," she said. The study found that 2.8 million people across the globe died in 2016 of alcohol-related courses. For people aged 15 to 49, alcohol is the leading risk factor for experiencing a negative health outcome.
This is an alarming report for the roughly 2 billion human beings who drink alcohol. The report challenges the controversial assumption that moderate drinking provides a clear health benefit. That idea took hold in the 1990s after news reports on the "French paradox": The French have relatively low rates of heart disease despite a fatty diet. Some researchers pointed to red wine consumption among the French as potentially protective.
A large number of studies found evidence that people who have a drink or two a day are less likely to have heart disease than people who give up or drink too much. But the new study, while noting the lower risks of heart disease from moderate drinking, found that many other health risks balance out health benefits. Those include the risks of breast cancer, interpersonal violence, self-harm and transportation accidents.
32. What can we conclude from the study published in The Lancet
A. No amount of alcohol is safe.
B. A drink or two day is good for us.
C. Alcohol has little to do with health risks.
D. Alcohol will be forbidden in 195 countries.
33. What is Emmanuela Gakidou's attitude towards drinking alcohol
A. Supportive. B. Unfavorable C. Admiring. D. Unconcerned.
34. What does the “French paradox" suggest
A. The French consume too much alcohol.
B. Red wine may cause heart diseases.
C. The French need to go on a diet.
D. Alcohol benefits human beings.
35. According to the last paragraph, who are less likely to suffer from heart disease
A. Those who have fatty diet.
B. Those who have given up alcohol.
C. Those who drink a little every day.
D. Those who drink as much as they can.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文。一篇在《柳叶刀》上发表的研究表明，酒精对人体有害与其摄入量无关。该报告对“适度饮酒明显有益健康”这一有争议的假设提出了挑战。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段关键句“The number that jumped out, in the end, was zero. Anything more than that was associated with health risks.”（最后跳出来的数字是零。 超过这个数字就会有健康风险。）可知，从发表在柳叶刀杂志上的这篇研究中可以推测出，不摄入酒精是安全的。故选A项。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段关键句“"People should no longer think that a drink or two a day is good for you. What's best for you is to not drink at all," she said.”（“人们不应该再认为一天喝一两杯酒对你有好处。对你来说最好的办法就是完全不喝酒，”她说。）可知，Emmanuela Gakidou对于饮酒是不赞同的。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第三段关键句“The French have relatively low rates of heart disease despite a fatty diet. ”（尽管饮食脂肪含量高，法国人的心脏病发病率相对较低。）及“Some researchers pointed to red wine consumption among the French as potentially protective.”（一些研究人员指出，法国人饮用红酒可能具有保护作用。）可知，“法国悖论”表明，酒精对人体有益。故选D项。
4.细节理解题。根据文章第四段关键句“A large number of studies found evidence that people who have a drink or two a day are less likely to have heart disease than people who give up or drink too much. ”（大量研究发现，每天喝一两杯酒的人比不喝或喝得太多的人患心脏病的可能性更小。）可知，每天喝一点酒的人患心脏病的可能性更小。故选C项。

This morning it was harder for me to get out of bed than usual. Usually, I have nightmares (噩梦) because of the terrible movies I watched the night before, and sometimes spicy (辛辣的) food makes me feel uncomfortable in sleeping. However, last night I turned all night because my anxiety was at an all-time high. I kept thinking about what my first day of high school would be like. What should I wear What should I put in my schoolbag I finally fell asleep around 5:45 and my alarm started going off at 6.
I couldn’t let those thoughts cloud my mind. I had to prepare myself for one of the most important days of my life. I packed my things and headed out of the door. My first class wasn’t too bad. I listened to my English teacher discuss the importance of themes, but otherwise, it was a pretty easy-going class.
During lunchtime, I had a pizza and an orange soda. I’m grateful for the food not tasting terrible so I wouldn’t keep thinking about that all day. I still didn’t manage to find any new friends to sit with, but I’m just happy I found a quiet place to stay. It would have been uncomfortable if I had to sit in a noisy classroom to eat lunch, or an empty hallway with some kids walking past and laughing.
Once the last bell rang, I was eager to get home and tell Charlie, my childhood friend how my day went at a new school. I was just excited to speak to a familiar voice and share my feelings of the whole day. I wondered how his day went at his new school as well. I got on the same train line that I took to school and headed back home.
Speaking to Charlie on the phone, I found out he made many new friends today. Once I got off the phone, I threw myself on the bed with a long sigh (叹气). Although I’d experience this again tomorrow, I’m glad I got through my first day at school.
24. What made the author fail to fall asleep last night
A. Anxiety of preparations for school.
B. Noise of the alarm that kept ringing.
C. Discomfort brought by spicy food.
D. Nightmares caused by a terrible movie.
25. What can we infer from the third paragraph
A. The author disliked eating in a noisy place.
B. The author was quite satisfied with the food.
C. The author made some new friends at school.
D. The author found it difficult to find a quiet place.
26. Why was the author eager to go home after school
A. To play with his childhood friend.
B. To know how Charlie’s first day went.
C. To catch the train line she took to school.
D. To share feelings about school with Charlie.

Every dog should have a loving home, and thanks to a 13-year-old boy named Thiago, many are now closer to finding one.
Thiago is a self-described animal lover hoping to help the homeless dogs in his home city of Ant nio Prado. So, he came up with an idea. Maybe if he could make the dogs on the street look more attractive, they’d have more chances to be adopted (收养). So he began giving baths to dogs in his spare time. This great idea is what led Thiago to create a project called “Sou de rua mas to limpinho” at the end of 2020.
With the help of his father, he began looking for dogs who needed a helping hand. “At the end of last year, I decided that I needed to somehow do something for the animals,” Thiago said. “While talking to my father, I told him about my idea of bathing street dogs so they can stay clean and smell good and people may look at them differently.”
Before the effort truly took off, Thiago and his dad had to work out how to win the dogs over. “Catching dogs on the street is difficult, since they are always frightened and many have suffered from ill treatment,” Thiago explained. “So we spent some time without baths until my father spoke to the public service organization and we started to bathe their newly saved dogs.” In addition to bathing them, Thiago started adding little accessories (配饰) to the dogs, such as little hair pins, to really increase their chances of adoption. The boy’s dad also took pictures of the dogs and posted them online, pointing any possible adopters to the nearby shelters (收容所). “I want people to be not afraid to adopt,” Thiago said. “It’s the best thing in the world.”
28. Why did Thiago create “Sou de rua mas to limpinho”
A. To provide baths for dogs. B. To raise money for animal shelters.
C. To help homeless dogs get adopted. D. To draw public attention to animal care.
29. What was a problem facing Thiago and his dad at the start of the project
A. They were short of bath products. B. The homeless dogs distrusted them.
C. People showed no interest in adoption. D. Possible adopters preferred young dogs.
30. Which of the following best describes Thiago
A. Caring. B. Confident. C. Humorous. D. Serious.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Boy Adopts Dogs in Bad Conditions B. Boy Helps Dogs Find a New Home
C. Lost Dogs Require Getting Adopted D. Homeless Dogs Move into Shelters
D
Does drinking alcohol really help us stay healthy If so, how much should we have each day Recently a study, co-authored by 512 researchers from 243 institutions, was published in the well-known journal The Lancet. The researchers built a database of more than a thousand alcohol studies and data sources, as well as death and disability records from 195 countries between 1990 and 2016. The goal was to see how alcohol affects the risk of 23 health problems. The number that jumped out, in the end, was zero. Anything more than that was associated with health risks.
"What has been ignored is that no amount of drinking is good for you," said Emmanuela Gakidou, a professor at the University of Washington. "People should no longer think that a drink or two a day is good for you. What's best for you is to not drink at all," she said. The study found that 2.8 million people across the globe died in 2016 of alcohol-related courses. For people aged 15 to 49, alcohol is the leading risk factor for experiencing a negative health outcome.
This is an alarming report for the roughly 2 billion human beings who drink alcohol. The report challenges the controversial assumption that moderate drinking provides a clear health benefit. That idea took hold in the 1990s after news reports on the "French paradox": The French have relatively low rates of heart disease despite a fatty diet. Some researchers pointed to red wine consumption among the French as potentially protective.
A large number of studies found evidence that people who have a drink or two a day are less likely to have heart disease than people who give up or drink too much. But the new study, while noting the lower risks of heart disease from moderate drinking, found that many other health risks balance out health benefits. Those include the risks of breast cancer, interpersonal violence, self-harm and transportation accidents.
32. What can we conclude from the study published in The Lancet
A. No amount of alcohol is safe.
B. A drink or two day is good for us.
C. Alcohol has little to do with health risks.
D. Alcohol will be forbidden in 195 countries.
33. What is Emmanuela Gakidou's attitude towards drinking alcohol
A. Supportive. B. Unfavorable C. Admiring. D. Unconcerned.
34. What does the “French paradox" suggest
A. The French consume too much alcohol.
B. Red wine may cause heart diseases.
C. The French need to go on a diet.
D. Alcohol benefits human beings.
35. According to the last paragraph, who are less likely to suffer from heart disease
A. Those who have fatty diet.
B. Those who have given up alcohol.
C. Those who drink a little every day.
D. Those who drink as much as they can.
