Four Popular Books on Science
Mustn’t Grumble
This book written by Graham Lawton is not about what happens when we’re ill with something serious to send us to the doctor. Instead, it focuses on many of mild, annoying illnesses, aches and pains which we can always put up with. It’s a mixture of science and history, with a light touch, and provides practical information about each illness for the reader.
Generations
In this deeply researched book, Professor Bobby Duffy provides a new framework for understanding the issues of the day: from culture wars to climate change and mental health to housing. Including information from all over the globe, and with powerful effects on humanity’s future, this big-thinking book will change how you view the world.
Eureka
Introduced by Jim Al-Khalili, Eureka brings together 365 mind blowing questions, attractive facts and exciting experiments. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if the moon disappeared, why cats always land on their feet, why we get morning breath, how to measure the speed of light with a chocolate bar, if you could surf down an erupting volcano and why songs get stuck in your head, this book would be a good choice.
Unthinkable
Unthinkable takes us on an unforgettable journey through the human brain. Award-winning science writer Helen Thomson has spent years travelling the world tracking down brain disorders that are not seen very often. In Unthinkable she tells the stories of nine unusual people. From the man who thinks he’s a tiger to the doctor who feels the pain of others just by looking at them. Their experiences show how the brain can shape our lives in unexpected and, in some cases, alarming ways.
21.How does the book Mustn’t Grumble benefit readers
A. By helping them keep healthy. B. By improving their studies.
C. By making them love science. D. By teaching them to care for patients.
22.Whose book may interest you if you want to know answers to amazing things
A. Graham Lawton’s. B. Bobby Duffy’s.
C. Helen Thomson’s. D. Jim Al-Khalili’s.
23.What does the book Unthinkable mainly deal with
A. World travelling. B. Wonders of the brain.
C. Sufferings from brain disease. D. Achievements of unusual people.

(安徽省十联考2024届高三上学期期末联考)It was June when I visited America’s most famous pond, Walden, in Massachusetts. It was still too early for the summer crowds of beach goers and holidaymakers. The only people besides photographer Tim Laman and me were a few swimmers and a lone runner taking in the morning fresh air. At the moment, Walden had the air of peace Henry David Thoreau so greatly prized.
Thoreau built his cabin here in 1845 as a place to write, and a river of thoughts and words began to flow, continuing for 17 years until his death. More than two hundred years after his birth on July 12, 1817, his words still inspire: “I come to the woods because I wish to understand the most important facts of life. I don’t want to discover that I have not lived when I die.”
I still have a T-shirt printed with ants and such words: “It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about ”
What I have come to love most about Thoreau is that for him the natural world speaks not only in grand settings like beautiful mountains and ancient forests, but also in ordinary places like ponds, parks and backyards.
“I come to my woodland walk as the homesick go home,” wrote Thoreau in his journal. So it has been for those who follow in his philosophical footsteps: We find ourselves wedded to the world wherever we happen to be.
My place of solitude(独处)is a path in urban Auckland, New Zealand. I walk there in the same spirit that Thoreau walked his woodland trails, enjoying a conversation with nature within earshot of a highway.
For Thoreau, such moments usually happened when he was alone. For this kind of walking, Thoreau preferred the word “awakening”: shaking off social and cultural burdens to enjoy the wildness of the natural world. This was Thoreau’s conclusion after his two-year stay in the woods, and this was his conclusion to Walden.
24.When did Henry David Thoreau pass away
A. In 1817. B. In 1834. C. In 1845. D. In 1862.
25.What do the words printed on the author’s T-shirt most probably mean
A. Everyone should be as busy as ants. B. We should have a purpose in our life.
C. Ants’ work should not be questioned. D. Workable schedules are very important.
26.What can be inferred from paragraphs 4 and 5
A. Henry David Thoreau might just happen to find Walden.
B. Walden was America’s most famous pond in the 1820s.
C. Peace of mind can only be found in beautiful places.
D. We should be dissatisfied with what life gives us.
27.Which of the following best describes the author’s “Walden”
A. Wild. B. Deep. C. Noisy. D. Dangerous.
C
(湖北省高中名校联盟2023-2024学年高三上学期第三次联考)I always listen to my local public radio station while I’m driving. My focus often changes as I stare out at the road ahead. But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife.
There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas(野猪)that ruined a golf course near Sedona, Arizona, followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar(美洲虎), a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, until construction of the border wall blocked the way. Finally, there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona. The results were mixed: Nine of the wolves had died or been killed recently.
As I sat in my car, listening to the news, I felt helpless, even mournful. What would it take for most of us to understand that the javelinas’ behavior on that heavily irrigated golf course in the desert was a sign that maybe the course shouldn’t be in the desert to begin with The way I saw it, the javelinas weren’t invading(入侵)the site; they were reclaiming it. After all, the javelinas’ needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans’ desire to play golf.
As for the Arizona Mexican wolf pup reintroduction effort that I heard about in the news, for the past 25 years, scientists have been working hard to restore the native wolf population, and yet are unable to remove its greatest threat. Today, almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild, and every year, humans illegally kill one out of ten. The wolf recovery effort is necessary, but it’s extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way.
I need to tackle my helplessness, because helplessness leads to no longer wanting to take care of what matters most. Therefore, I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularly covers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems. That’s progress and fuels my hope.
28.What is the morning news about
A. Dangers of local wildlife. B. Efforts to reintroduce wildlife.
C. Issues of human-wildlife coexistence. D. Distribution of wildlife around the world.
29.Why did the javelinas destroy the golf course according to the author
A. To meet basic needs. B. To protect the desert.
C. To oppose golf playing. D. To attack human beings.
30.What do we know about the Mexican wolves
A. They are bound to go extinct. B. Humans threaten their survival.
C. Their number has greatly increased. D. 10% of them have been reintroduced.
31.What is the author’s attitude to the challenges mentioned in the last paragraph
A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.
D
(湖南省益阳市2023-2024学年高三上学期期末)Vitamin C for a cold A good dose of Vitamin D on a sunny day We all know that vitamins are critical for our health, but how did they get their names and when were they discovered in the first place
American nutrition scientist Elmer McCullum conducted a variety of feed experiments with different animal populations and discovered that an “accessory” substance contained in some fats was essential to growth. That fat-soluble(脂溶的)substance became known as Vitamin “A” for “accessory.”
McCollum and others also conducted further experiments with rice-bran-derived nutrient, naming it Vitamin “B” after beriberi, which can cause heart failure and a loss of sensation in the legs and feet. Eventually, it turned out that the substance known as Vitamin B was a complex of eight water-soluble vitamins, which were each given individual names and numbered in order of discovery.
The custom of naming vitamins alphabetically in order of discovery continued. Today, four fat-soluble vitamins(A, D, E, and K)and nine water-soluble vitamins(Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins)are considered essential to human growth and health. Only one vitamin bucked the oh-so-logical naming system: Vitamin K, discovered by Danish researcher Carl Peter Henrik Dam in 1929. The substance should have been in line to be called Vitamin F given its discovery date. But Dam’s research revealed that the vitamin is essential for blood coagulation(凝固)—known as Koagulation in the German journal that published his research—and his abbreviation for the vitamin somehow stuck.
It’s been decades since the last essential vitamin—Vitamin B12—was discovered in 1948. It now appears unlikely that scientists will ever discover a new essential vitamin. But even if there’s no Vitamin F or G in our future, that doesn’t mean nutritional discovery has stopped completely. If the golden age of vitamin discovery was an appetizer(开胃菜)of sorts, scientists are devoted to the main course—a rapidly evolving understanding of the ways food shapes our lives, one microscopic substance at a time.
32.What can we learn from paragraph 2 and paragraph 3
A. Vitamin A is a water-soluble substance.
B. Vitamin B was named after a kind of disease.
C. The eight B vitamins got names from their functions.
D. The subjects of McCullum’s experiments are home.
33.What does the underlined word “bucked” mean in paragraph 4
A. Created. B. Destroyed. C. Broke. D. Followed.
34.What is the author’s attitude toward nutrition research
A. Indifferent. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Confident.
35.Which of the following is the best title of the text
A. How Do Vitamins Influence Our Health
B. Who Discovered Various Vitamins for Us
C. Why Is There a Vitamin K but No Vitamin F
D. How Many Vitamins Are Still Left to Be Discovered

(海南省2023-2024学年高三上学期期末学业水平诊断)At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash them all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter, and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. It wasn’t a big deal—this happens all the time. But today, something different was going to happen. A young boy, who looked like he’d had a pretty rough time, had been watching her and the table from around the corner.
This kid was in bad shape. His clothes were too big and looked like they’d seen better days. His hair was all over the place, and there was dirt on his face. He had that look of someone who hadn’t had a good meal for way too long. When the lady left, he saw his chance. He quickly sat down and started scarfing down(狼吞虎咽)the leftovers like they were the best meal he’d ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who’d probably seen everything. He didn’t say anything at first, just watching the kid for a second. The boy got scared and stopped eating, and tears started to well up in his eyes. He thought the waiter would kick him out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and the boy’s heart sank. The boy got up to leave.

M: Wow! Did you go climbing
W: Well, we went to the bottom of the mountain, spent four hours going to the forest, but then I just felt too tired, so I had to stand at the bottom and watched the others.

W: Probably exploring the old caves. I’d never done it before, and I thought it was great.

【原文】
Good evening, dear listeners. I am Gena Bennett. It’s Art Culture. Today, I’d like to talk about an Old New York Train Station. City Hall Station was one of New York City’s first underground subway stations. Now called Old City Hall Station, it was built during a time when many public buildings and spaces were designed to appear splendid. Although it is no longer part of the subway system, Old City Hall Station is still being used. One train line, the No.6, uses the Old City Hall Station to turn around. And while the public cannot enter the station from the street, the members of the New York Transit Museum can see the station a few times a year at a cost of about $50. Over the years, there have been ideas to make the old station a restaurant or a place for travelers to the city to visit. However, security concerns put those ideas to rest. Today, the unofficial way for the public to see the old station is by taking the No.6 train and staying on after the last stop.

(山东省菏泽市2023-2024学年高三上学期期末考试)
Four Popular Books on Science
Mustn’t Grumble
This book written by Graham Lawton is not about what happens when we’re ill with something serious to send us to the doctor. Instead, it focuses on many of mild, annoying illnesses, aches and pains which we can always put up with. It’s a mixture of science and history, with a light touch, and provides practical information about each illness for the reader.
Generations
In this deeply researched book, Professor Bobby Duffy provides a new framework for understanding the issues of the day: from culture wars to climate change and mental health to housing. Including information from all over the globe, and with powerful effects on humanity’s future, this big-thinking book will change how you view the world.
Eureka
Introduced by Jim Al-Khalili, Eureka brings together 365 mind blowing questions, attractive facts and exciting experiments. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if the moon disappeared, why cats always land on their feet, why we get morning breath, how to measure the speed of light with a chocolate bar, if you could surf down an erupting volcano and why songs get stuck in your head, this book would be a good choice.
Unthinkable
Unthinkable takes us on an unforgettable journey through the human brain. Award-winning science writer Helen Thomson has spent years travelling the world tracking down brain disorders that are not seen very often. In Unthinkable she tells the stories of nine unusual people. From the man who thinks he’s a tiger to the doctor who feels the pain of others just by looking at them. Their experiences show how the brain can shape our lives in unexpected and, in some cases, alarming ways.
21.How does the book Mustn’t Grumble benefit readers
A. By helping them keep healthy. B. By improving their studies.
C. By making them love science. D. By teaching them to care for patients.
22.Whose book may interest you if you want to know answers to amazing things
A. Graham Lawton’s. B. Bobby Duffy’s.
C. Helen Thomson’s. D. Jim Al-Khalili’s.
23.What does the book Unthinkable mainly deal with
A. World travelling. B. Wonders of the brain.
C. Sufferings from brain disease. D. Achievements of unusual people.
【答案】21. A 22. D 23. B
【语篇导读】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本科普读物的相关信息。

(安徽省十联考2024届高三上学期期末联考)It was June when I visited America’s most famous pond, Walden, in Massachusetts. It was still too early for the summer crowds of beach goers and holidaymakers. The only people besides photographer Tim Laman and me were a few swimmers and a lone runner taking in the morning fresh air. At the moment, Walden had the air of peace Henry David Thoreau so greatly prized.
Thoreau built his cabin here in 1845 as a place to write, and a river of thoughts and words began to flow, continuing for 17 years until his death. More than two hundred years after his birth on July 12, 1817, his words still inspire: “I come to the woods because I wish to understand the most important facts of life. I don’t want to discover that I have not lived when I die.”
I still have a T-shirt printed with ants and such words: “It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about ”
What I have come to love most about Thoreau is that for him the natural world speaks not only in grand settings like beautiful mountains and ancient forests, but also in ordinary places like ponds, parks and backyards.
“I come to my woodland walk as the homesick go home,” wrote Thoreau in his journal. So it has been for those who follow in his philosophical footsteps: We find ourselves wedded to the world wherever we happen to be.
My place of solitude(独处)is a path in urban Auckland, New Zealand. I walk there in the same spirit that Thoreau walked his woodland trails, enjoying a conversation with nature within earshot of a highway.
For Thoreau, such moments usually happened when he was alone. For this kind of walking, Thoreau preferred the word “awakening”: shaking off social and cultural burdens to enjoy the wildness of the natural world. This was Thoreau’s conclusion after his two-year stay in the woods, and this was his conclusion to Walden.
24.When did Henry David Thoreau pass away
A. In 1817. B. In 1834. C. In 1845. D. In 1862.
25.What do the words printed on the author’s T-shirt most probably mean
A. Everyone should be as busy as ants. B. We should have a purpose in our life.
C. Ants’ work should not be questioned. D. Workable schedules are very important.
26.What can be inferred from paragraphs 4 and 5
A. Henry David Thoreau might just happen to find Walden.
B. Walden was America’s most famous pond in the 1820s.
C. Peace of mind can only be found in beautiful places.
D. We should be dissatisfied with what life gives us.
27.Which of the following best describes the author’s “Walden”
A. Wild. B. Deep. C. Noisy. D. Dangerous.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在参观瓦尔登湖时的所见、所思、所感。
24.细节理解题。根据第二段“Thoreau built his cabin here in 1845 as a place to write, and a river of thoughts and words began to flow, continuing for 17 years until his death.(1845年，梭罗在这里建造了自己的小屋，作为写作的地方，思想和文字的河流开始流淌，一直持续了17年，直到他去世)”可知，Henry David Thoreau是在1845+17=1862年去世的，故选D。
25.推理判断题。根据第三段“The question is: What are we busy about (问题是：我们在忙什么？”)”可推断，作者认为人活着应该有个目的，故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据第五段“I come to my woodland walk as the homesick go home, ” wrote Thoreau in his journal. So it has been for those who follow in his philosophical footsteps: We find ourselves wedded to the world wherever we happen to be.(梭罗在日记中写道：“我来到林中散步，就像思乡之人回家一样。”对于那些追随他哲学脚步的人来说，情况也是如此：无论我们身在何处，我们都发现自己与这个世界紧密相连)”可推断，Henry David Thoreau选在瓦尔登湖这个地方度过余生应该是偶然的，故选A。
27.推理判断题。根据第六段“My place of solitude(独处)is a path in urban Auckland, New Zealand. I walk there in the same spirit that Thoreau walked his woodland trails, enjoying a conversation with nature within earshot of a highway.(我独处的地方是新西兰奥克兰市区的一条小路。我走在那里，就像梭罗走在他的林地小径上一样，享受着在高速公路耳边与大自然的对话)”可推断，作者的瓦尔登湖是比较喧闹的，因为它位于闹市里的马路边，故选C。

(湖北省高中名校联盟2023-2024学年高三上学期第三次联考)I always listen to my local public radio station while I’m driving. My focus often changes as I stare out at the road ahead. But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife.
There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas(野猪)that ruined a golf course near Sedona, Arizona, followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar(美洲虎), a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, until construction of the border wall blocked the way. Finally, there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona. The results were mixed: Nine of the wolves had died or been killed recently.
As I sat in my car, listening to the news, I felt helpless, even mournful. What would it take for most of us to understand that the javelinas’ behavior on that heavily irrigated golf course in the desert was a sign that maybe the course shouldn’t be in the desert to begin with The way I saw it, the javelinas weren’t invading(入侵)the site; they were reclaiming it. After all, the javelinas’ needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans’ desire to play golf.
As for the Arizona Mexican wolf pup reintroduction effort that I heard about in the news, for the past 25 years, scientists have been working hard to restore the native wolf population, and yet are unable to remove its greatest threat. Today, almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild, and every year, humans illegally kill one out of ten. The wolf recovery effort is necessary, but it’s extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way.
I need to tackle my helplessness, because helplessness leads to no longer wanting to take care of what matters most. Therefore, I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularly covers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems. That’s progress and fuels my hope.
28.What is the morning news about
A. Dangers of local wildlife. B. Efforts to reintroduce wildlife.
C. Issues of human-wildlife coexistence. D. Distribution of wildlife around the world.
29.Why did the javelinas destroy the golf course according to the author
A. To meet basic needs. B. To protect the desert.
C. To oppose golf playing. D. To attack human beings.
30.What do we know about the Mexican wolves
A. They are bound to go extinct. B. Humans threaten their survival.
C. Their number has greatly increased. D. 10% of them have been reintroduced.
31.What is the author’s attitude to the challenges mentioned in the last paragraph
A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. C
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过早新闻了解到人类和野生动物共存的问题以及作者对这一问题的看法。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife.(但在最近的一个早晨，当我意识到整个新闻节目都是关于当地野生动物的，我就全神贯注了)”和第二段“There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas(野猪)that ruined a golf course near Sedona, Arizona, followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar(美洲虎), a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, until construction of the border wall blocked the way. Finally, there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona. The results were mixed: Nine of the wolves had died or been killed recently.(一群大约有30到50只的野猪毁坏了亚利桑那州塞多纳附近的一个高尔夫球场，接着是最近看到美洲虎的传闻，这种物种在亚利桑那州和墨西哥索诺拉之间活动，直到修建边境墙挡住了道路。最后，在新墨西哥州和亚利桑那州重新引入墨西哥狼的努力有了最新进展。结果喜忧参半:其中9只狼已经死亡或最近被杀)”可知，作者听到的早间新闻涉及到人类与野生动物共存的问题，故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“The way I saw it, the javelinas weren’t invading(入侵)the site; they were reclaiming it. After all, the javelinas’ needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans’ desire to play golf.(在我看来，野猪并没有入侵这个球场；他们正在收回它。毕竟，野猪对食物和空间的需求比少数特权阶层打高尔夫球的欲望更基本)”可知，野猪摧毁高尔夫球场是为了满足它们的基本需求，故选A项。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段的最后两句“Today, almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild, and every year, humans illegally kill one out of ten. The wolf recovery effort is necessary, but it’s extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way.(今天，大约有250只墨西哥狼被认为生活在野外，每年，人类非法杀死十分之一的狼。狼的恢复工作是必要的，但这是非常困难的，因为我们人类一直在挡道)”可知，人类威胁着墨西哥狼的生存，故选B项。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“Therefore, I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularly covers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems. That’s progress and fuels my hope.(因此，我认为，我的地方新闻现在经常报道共存的挑战和我们问题的可能解决办法，这一定是一个好的迹象。这就是进步，激发了我的希望)”可以推论出，作者对最后一段提到的挑战持乐观的态度，故选C项。

(湖南省益阳市2023-2024学年高三上学期期末)Vitamin C for a cold A good dose of Vitamin D on a sunny day We all know that vitamins are critical for our health, but how did they get their names and when were they discovered in the first place
American nutrition scientist Elmer McCullum conducted a variety of feed experiments with different animal populations and discovered that an “accessory” substance contained in some fats was essential to growth. That fat-soluble(脂溶的)substance became known as Vitamin “A” for “accessory.”
McCollum and others also conducted further experiments with rice-bran-derived nutrient, naming it Vitamin “B” after beriberi, which can cause heart failure and a loss of sensation in the legs and feet. Eventually, it turned out that the substance known as Vitamin B was a complex of eight water-soluble vitamins, which were each given individual names and numbered in order of discovery.
The custom of naming vitamins alphabetically in order of discovery continued. Today, four fat-soluble vitamins(A, D, E, and K)and nine water-soluble vitamins(Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins)are considered essential to human growth and health. Only one vitamin bucked the oh-so-logical naming system: Vitamin K, discovered by Danish researcher Carl Peter Henrik Dam in 1929. The substance should have been in line to be called Vitamin F given its discovery date. But Dam’s research revealed that the vitamin is essential for blood coagulation(凝固)—known as Koagulation in the German journal that published his research—and his abbreviation for the vitamin somehow stuck.
It’s been decades since the last essential vitamin—Vitamin B12—was discovered in 1948. It now appears unlikely that scientists will ever discover a new essential vitamin. But even if there’s no Vitamin F or G in our future, that doesn’t mean nutritional discovery has stopped completely. If the golden age of vitamin discovery was an appetizer(开胃菜)of sorts, scientists are devoted to the main course—a rapidly evolving understanding of the ways food shapes our lives, one microscopic substance at a time.
32.What can we learn from paragraph 2 and paragraph 3
A. Vitamin A is a water-soluble substance.
B. Vitamin B was named after a kind of disease.
C. The eight B vitamins got names from their functions.
D. The subjects of McCullum’s experiments are home.
33.What does the underlined word “bucked” mean in paragraph 4
A. Created. B. Destroyed. C. Broke. D. Followed.
34.What is the author’s attitude toward nutrition research
A. Indifferent. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Confident.
35.Which of the following is the best title of the text
A. How Do Vitamins Influence Our Health
B. Who Discovered Various Vitamins for Us
C. Why Is There a Vitamin K but No Vitamin F
D. How Many Vitamins Are Still Left to Be Discovered
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了维生素的名称由来和被发现的过程，说明其命名是按发现的先后顺序编号的，并解释了维生素K没有按该逻辑被命名为维生素F的原因。
32.细节理解题。根据第三段中“McCollum and others also conducted further experiments with rice-bran-derived nutrient, naming it Vitamin “B” after beriberi, which can cause heart failure and a loss of sensation in the legs and feet.(McCollum和其他人还对米糠衍生的营养物质进行了进一步的实验，并将其命名为维生素“B”，以脚气病命名，这种病会导致心力衰竭，腿部和脚部感觉丧失)”可知，维生素B是以脚气病这种疾病命名的，故选B项。
33.词义猜测题。根据画线词的下文“the oh-so-logical naming system: Vitamin K, discovered by Danish researcher Carl Peter Henrik Dam in 1929. The substance should have been in line to be called Vitamin F given its discovery date. But Dam’s research revealed that the vitamin is essential for blood coagulation(凝固)—known as Koagulation in the German journal that published his research—and his abbreviation for the vitamin somehow stuck.(太有逻辑的命名系统：维生素K，由丹麦研究员Carl Peter Henrik Dam于1929年发现。考虑到它的发现日期，这种物质应该被称为维生素F。但Dam的研究表明，这种维生素对血液凝固至关重要——在发表他的研究的德国杂志上被称为Koagulation——他对这种维生素的缩写不知何故被沿用了下来)”可知，此处解释维生素K没有按照之前的逻辑被命名为维生素F的原因。由此可知，维生素K实际上是违背了原先太有逻辑的命名系统，画线词意思应该与broke“违反，违背”相近，故选C项。
34.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But even if there’s no Vitamin F or G in our future, that doesn’t mean nutritional discovery has stopped completely. If the golden age of vitamin discovery was an appetizer(开胃菜)of sorts, scientists are devoted to the main course — a rapidly evolving understanding of the ways food shapes our lives, one microscopic substance at a time.(但即使未来没有维生素F或G，也不意味着营养学的发现已经完全停止了。如果说维生素发现的黄金时代是某种开胃菜，那么科学家们正致力于主菜——对食物如何塑造我们生活的快速发展的理解，一次一种微观物质)”可知，作者认为营养学的发现仍在进行，现在进行的研究甚至比维生素发现的黄金时代更为重要，可以帮助理解食物如何塑造我们生活。由此可知，作者对营养学的研究充满信心，故选D项。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“We all know that vitamins are critical for our health, but how did they get their names and when were they discovered in the first place (我们都知道维生素对我们的健康至关重要，但它们的名字是怎么来的，又是什么时候被发现的呢)”可知，文章主要围绕维生素的名称由来和被发现的过程展开，说明其命名是按发现的先后顺序编号的，并解释了维生素K没有按该逻辑被命名为维生素F的原因。因此，C项“为什么有维生素K却没有维生素F？”以问题的形式吸引读者对维生素名称由来的好奇，抓住了文章的关键信息，最适合作为标题，故选C项。

【答案】
Dear Jack,
I am sorry to inform you that the local folklore exhibition at Renmin Square, which I promised you to visit together, has been canceled due to the extremely bad weather these days.
But that doesn’t mean we can do nothing about it. Since you are interested in learning about our local culture, I suggest we visit the Folklore Museum in our city instead. The museum has a large number of objects on display, which reflect the traditions observed in our city today and how they are evolving with contemporary society. I am sure you’ll be interested in it.
Looking forward to your early reply.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(海南省2023-2024学年高三上学期期末学业水平诊断)At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash them all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter, and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. It wasn’t a big deal—this happens all the time. But today, something different was going to happen. A young boy, who looked like he’d had a pretty rough time, had been watching her and the table from around the corner.
This kid was in bad shape. His clothes were too big and looked like they’d seen better days. His hair was all over the place, and there was dirt on his face. He had that look of someone who hadn’t had a good meal for way too long. When the lady left, he saw his chance. He quickly sat down and started scarfing down(狼吞虎咽)the leftovers like they were the best meal he’d ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who’d probably seen everything. He didn’t say anything at first, just watching the kid for a second. The boy got scared and stopped eating, and tears started to well up in his eyes. He thought the waiter would kick him out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and the boy’s heart sank. The boy got up to leave.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
But before he could get far, the waiter came back. He had a full, fresh meal in hand—warm and smelling amazing. He signaled the little boy to sit down and landed the meal with great care on to the table. The kid couldn’t believe it and couldn’t find words to express himself. He just stared for a second until the tears started falling. This time, they were happy tears. In the meantime, the whole canteen went quiet when the people in the canteen saw what was happening.
Then all people in the canteen started clapping. Everyone was smiling and looking at the kid enjoying his surprise meal. As the boy ate, other consumers started walking up to the waiter and giving him some money. They were tipping him, but it wasn’t just a few coins; they were super generous. The boy, with a full stomach and a happy heart, looked like he couldn’t thank the waiter enough. They didn’t talk much, but it didn’t matter. They were just two people sharing a quiet moment together, and it felt like they understood each other perfectly.
