A
There’s no shortage of health food trends on TikTok, but which ones are actually sensible And should you skip any of them altogether We asked registered dietitian Vanessa Rissetto, and here’s what you need to know.
Emily Mariko’s Salmon Bowl
Made with rice, baked salmon, soy sauce and spicy mayo — and to be clear, there are a lot of different variations of it online — this passes Rissetto’s test because it’s healthy, fast, easy and has good flavor.
Rissetto says that while she would recommend this recipe, she would also suggest changing the white rice for brown rice for increased nutrients and more fiber.
Healthy Cookie Dough
Cookie dough that’s healthy This is too good to be true, right The answer is probably yes.
Rissctto says that while this may be healthy, it probably doesn’t taste good.
“I’m certain this tastes like cardboard, ”she said. “If you don’t care about taste — then this is for you.”
Lettuce Water For Sleep
While harmless, the TikTok trend of pouring boiling water over romaine lettuce leaves to make “lettuce water” for better sleep probably won’t cure your sleep disorder — and it probably doesn’t taste great, either.
“This is not a thing. There’s no evidence to prove it,” Rissetto said. “Instead, steep a banana peel in boiling water to help aid with sleep.”
Nature’s Cereal
As Rissetto points out, it’s basically a fruit smoothie bowl.
“I am all for having berries and coconut water,” she said. “Nutrition-wise, this has lots of vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. It’s basically a fruit salad that would be super refreshing on a hot day or post-workout.”
21．What is special about Emily Mariko’s salmon bowl
A．It doesn’t taste great. B．It is good for health.
C．Its recipe is not fixed. D．It uses two kinds of rice.
22．Which recipe doesn’t Rissetto recommend
A．Emily Mariko’s salmon bowl. B．Healthy cookie dough.
C．Lettuce water for sleep. D．Nature’s cereal.
23．Which food suits you best after playing a football match
A．Emily Mariko’s salmon bowl. B．Healthy cookie dough.
C．Lettuce water for sleep. D．Nature’s cereal.
B
For a long time, I kept a selection of books on a shelf next to my bed that I called my “heart books”. To qualify for a place on the shelf, a book had to be not only one I loved, but one that mattered. There was one book that never made it onto that shelf, though I read it in high school: Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg.
I can still remember the day I bought it. It was summer and I must have been 14 or 15. Desperate to get out of my house, I rode my bike into town and walked into the bookstore. I was going through the shelf of books on writing and it caught my eye. I picked it up, read a few pages, and bought it. Then I took it with me to a park, read the first few chapters, and opened my notebook to write.
It’s a fairly straightforward writing book. Goldberg’s method is simple: you choose a topic, set a timer, and write for 10, 15, or 20 minutes without picking up your pen. Free writing, timed writing, writing topics: anyone who has taken a creative writing class may have encountered these things. It’s not earth-shattering. There was nothing particularly new or unusual about the book so I can’t say why it attracted me so much. But it changed everything. I went from being someone who enjoyed writing to being a writer.
During my teen years and early twenties, following Goldberg’s method was at the core of my identity. No matter where I was or what I was doing, I filled notebooks. When I eventually started writing fiction, I did the same thing. The “I” in my notebooks became someone else, but I held to the same practice.
This writing practice led me to a writing group in Boston. It led me to my current career. It led me, in so many ways, to myself. Becoming a writer allowed me to become so many other things: an activist, a business owner, a farmer, a baker... Writing is where I found my confidence. It was where I became curious about the world. From that, everything else has followed.
24．How did the author encounter Writing Down the Bones
A．By following a selection of “heart books”.
B．By referring to a book list about writing.
C．By recommendation of Natalie Goldberg.
D．By seeking writing books on a bookshelf.
25．What does the word “earth-shattering” underlined in paragraph 3 mean
A．Trivial. B．Remarkable. C．Appropriate. D．Amusing.
26．What can we infer about Writing Down the Bones
A．It inspired the author to be a writer.
B．It was the first novel the author read.
C．It made the author start to love writing.
D．It is one of the books the author reads most.
27．Which of the following is answered by the last paragraph
A．What is the author’s life like right now
B．What did the author do in the writing group
C．How has the writing practice shaped the author
D．Why did the author give up the writing practice
C
A new generation of opioids (阿片类药物) with fewer side effects is being explored by an Australian and Chinese research team.
Professor Maree Smith from the University of Queensland will present research on oliceridine being developed internationally, as well as results of her team’s CYX-6 research project on Saturday at a meeting to be held by Faculty of Pain Medicine (FPM) of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists during October 19-21 in Cairns.
Professor Smith’s laboratory is exploring the new opioid, together with the Chinese researcher, Professor Li Tingyou from Nanjing Medical University. She stressed that while the research project was still in its early stages and would consume much more time and energy, laboratory tests had found that a newly discovered compound (复合物), CYX-6, spared laboratory rats from some of the more common side effects of opioids. Strong opioids that are now used for pain relief can have serious and sometimes deadly side effects, such as breathing problems.
“We’ve seen that in the US there are many people who are dying as a result of taking too many opioids because they stop breathing,” Professor Smith explained. “Though it’s difficult, we are focusing on discovery of new opioid alternatives with a reduced risk of breathing difficulty. It is a hot topic in the research world at present. Our application of the compound would be a very positive step.”
Dr. Meredith Craigie, Dean of FPM, said opioid alternatives with fewer side effects like the one that is being investigated by Professor Smith required thorough study, and research into the possible unknown side effects of new opioids was an especially significant step in the development of potential new treatments for pain.
28．What is oliceridine
A．An effective treatment. B．A new opioid.
C．A kind of operation. D．A piece of equipment.
29．What do we know about CYX-6
A．It is found in the body of rats. B．It is a compound used for pain relief.
C．It prevents some side effects of opioids. D．It is newly invented by Professor Smith.
30．How does Professor Smith find their project
A．Expensive. B．Promising. C．Popular. D．Risky.
31．What did Dr. Meredith Craigie suggest
A．Testing the side effects of new opioids. B．Inventing opioids with better effects.
C．Developing new treatments for pain. D．Using medicine for breathing difficulty.
D
As people become more aware of the importance of eco-friendly power sources, we have devoted much time to inventing creative devices. A newly developed paper battery promises to make a big difference to single-use electronics.
The battery is crafted from sustainable materials, which not only strengthens its eco-friendliness but also makes it cost-effective to produce. This combination of biodegradability (可生物降解) and affordability makes it attractive for a wide range of applications. Another standout feature of this paper battery is its flexibility in terms of shape and size. Unlike traditional batteries that are available in fixed sizes, this paper battery can be tailored to meet diverse requirements.
In reality, the paper battery is enough to power an LCD alarm clock. “While it won’t be charging up your computer anytime soon, there’s lots of potential for low-powered sensors. We present a printed paper battery developed to power single-use disposable electronics and to reduce their environmental impact to the lowest level,” write the researchers in their published paper.
The battery is based on a metal-air electrochemical cell. Made from sodium chloride salt-diffused (氯化钠盐扩散的) paper, it can measure as little as one square centimeter, and is based on printed inks. All that’s needed, then, is a small amount of water, as little as two drops. This dissolves the salts within the paper, and then activates the battery as they travel. The battery starts producing power around 20 seconds after water is added, according to the experiments carried out by the team.
Although the performance decreases over time as the paper dries out, it can be topped up to some extent with more water. The researchers say they want to improve the efficiency of the battery in the future, and get it working for longer. “With a rising awareness of the e-waste problem and the emergence of single-use electronics for applications, there is a growing need for low environmental impact batteries,” write the researchers.
32．Which is a feature of the paper battery
A．It is made from single-use materials. B．It is costly to put together.
C．It can be used to charge up your computer. D．It can be produced in diverse shapes.
33．What can we learn about the paper battery according to the text
A．It can be applied to any electronics.
B．It is able to supply energy to our cell-phones.
C．Its power can be refilled by adding some water.
D．It has reduced the environmental impact to the lowest.
34．What’s the main idea of paragraph 4
A．What the paper battery consists of. B．How the paper battery works.
C．Where the paper battery can be applied. D．Why the paper battery is popular.
35．What is most likely to be the focus of future research according to the researchers
A．How to get rid of impacts of single-use electronics.
B．How to improve the efficiency of the paper battery.
C．How to reduce the demand for single-use electronics.
D．How to raise people’s awareness of e-waste problems.

Can shopping relieve stress
According to a study 56 (do) by University of Michigan researchers, shopping to relieve stress was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad compared to those 57 only browsed for items.
More than half of the 1,000 58 (consumer) said they had impulsively (冲动地) shopped to deal with feelings of stress, 59 (anxious) or depression. Twenty-three percent of respondents (受访者) said they had maxed 60 a credit card in the past year.
In fact, shopping to reduce stress can actually help you live a 61 (healthy) life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered.
Shopping to relieve stress 62 (know) as “retail therapy”. The survey found that 82 percent had positive feelings about 63 (they) purchases and the positive mood that followed those purchases was long-lasting.
However, the side effect of “retail therapy”, for many, can start out as a relatively harmless mood booster but could 64 (possible) grow into a compulsion (强迫心理) that spends all income, causing conflict. As 65 result, it adds a significant amount of stress to a person’s life.

Finally, the bell rang. “Don’t forget to practice your class presentation at home!” Miss Bella cried as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jessy felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jessy was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jessy watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain so rt of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jessy sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jessy knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jessy bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jessy put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jessy laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain so rt of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jessy saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really did have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Bella asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jessy slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Bella could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday.”

Vincent van Gogh was a great painter. His work, being famous today for its beauty, emotion and color, greatly influenced 20th century art. Van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853 in the Netherlands. He had two younger brothers and three younger sisters. By the age of 15, Van Gogh had to leave school and go to work to support his family. Apart from his native Dutch, he also spoke good French, German and English. In 1873, Van Gogh went to work in England. There, he fell in love with English culture, and became a fan of Charles Dickens. In the fall of 1880, Van Gogh decided to move to Belgium and become an artist. In 1886, he moved to Paris and began to develop his unique style. Despite his talent, Van Gogh remained poor and unknown throughout his life. He was very close with his brother Theo, who supported him by giving him money and helping him sell his paintings.

24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I can still remember the day I bought it. It was summer and I must have been 14 or 15. Desperate to get out of my house, I rode my bike into town and walked into the bookstore. I was going through the shelf of books on writing and it caught my eye. I picked it up, read a few pages, and bought it..(我仍然记得我买它的那天。那是一个夏天，我大概14或15岁。不顾一切地想离开我的房子，我骑着自行车进城，走进书店。我在翻阅书架上关于写作的书时，这本书引起了我的注意。我拿起它，读了几页，就买了下来。)”可知，作者是一次在书店在翻阅书架上关于写作的书时发现《Writing Down the Bones》这本书的。故选D。

(这本书并没有什么特别新颖或不同寻常的地方，所以我也说不出为什么它如此吸引我。)”可推测，任何上过创意写作课的人都可能遇到过的事情在说中都有所描述，并且这本书没有什么特别新颖或不同寻常的地方。因此猜测划线单词指的应该是“极棒的、引人注目的”，和空前的“not”结合，指的是书中的方法并不是那么引人注目。故选B。

From that, everything else has followed. (这种写作练习让我加入了波士顿的一个写作小组。这让我有了现在的职业。在很多方面，它让我找回了自己。成为一名作家让我成为了许多其他的身份：一个活动家，一个企业主，一个农民，一个面包师……写作是我找到自信的地方。在那里，我开始对这个世界充满好奇。从那以后，其他一切都随之而来。)”可知，最后一段讲述的是这种写作练习使作者拥有了现在的职业，成为了一名作家，并且使作者成为了许多其他的身份：一个活动家，一个企业主，一个农民，一个面包师等。由此可推测，这一段回答了选项C“How has the writing practice shaped the author (写作练习如何塑造了作者？)”这一问题。故选C。
