（22-23高二下·江苏常州·期末）As the world’s wealthiest country, it’s hard to understand that there are 38 million Americans living in poverty. Poverty is defined as a household income below the national poverty line, which is $25, 750 for a family of four. 21 Millions of people are struggling to afford basic necessities like food, shelter, and healthcare.
There are many factors that contribute to poverty in America. 22 In many cities, the cost of rent is astronomical(天文数字), and even those with full-time jobs can’t afford to pay for both rent and other basic expenses. Additionally, low-paying jobs and a lack of access to quality education can also contribute to poverty.
23 People who live in poverty are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases and mental health issues, and they are more likely to die prematurely. Children growing up in poverty are at a disadvantage from the start, as they often don’t have access to quality education or healthcare, and they are more likely to experience food insecurity and homelessness.
Poverty is a complex issue with no easy solutions. 24 These include things like increasing access to affordable housing, creating more job opportunities with livable wages, and improving access to education and healthcare for all Americans.
In conclusion, poverty in America is a harsh reality that affects millions of people every day. 25 Necessary steps should be taken to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to live a healthy and prosperous life.

（22-23高二下·江苏南京·期末）Translation is an essential tool for effective communication. A common way of getting any translation done is to turn to human translators. However, machine translators have developed rapidly in recent years. Many people claim that they will replace human translators soon. 26
Machines may fail to understand culture properly. Different cultures have different words that are unique to that specific culture. Machines cannot understand or recognize idioms, slang, and allusions (典故). 27 By contrast, human translators can find the suitable equivalent (对应物) in the target language based on the cultural background.
28 In different languages, there are words with various meanings, which can be a significant problem for machine translators. These words have to be placed in context to determine their true meanings and in many cases only human translators can do this. If you run a document with this kind of words through a machine translator, it may lead to inaccurate translations.
It is difficult to localize machines for different languages. New phrases are being developed in almost all languages. 29 If you feed new words into a machine translator, the machine might go “speechless” , trying to come up with the most appropriate way to translate the strange combination of words. Human translators, on the other hand, can pick up on the development in a language quickly.
It’s difficult for machines to distinguish style and tone. Every written document has a different style and tone. A document can have poetic, funny or persuasive style and tone. Machine translators may lose the intended style and tone existing in the original document. 30 And such a translation can hardly resonate (引起共鸣) with the person who reads it.
A．Machines can’t relate words to the context.
B．Machines can’t remember words of all languages
C．It doesn’t actually hold up for some reasons.
D．Thus the result is a flat and soulless translation.
E．Machine translators are unable to catch these changes in time.
F．This is one challenge they may find very difficult to overcome.
G．Machine translators are becoming more and more popular these days.
（23-24高二上·江苏淮安·期末）For people who are not self-disciplined, their life is full of pain, and all pain comes from their own inability. 31
So how do you achieve self-discipline
Have control over body. Self-disciplined people will not be so bad; those who can lose weight successfully have high requirements for themselves. Health is the most important foundation of your self-discipline. 32 They work for one hour and charge for eight hours, and the efficiency is extremely low. If you don’t have time to exercise, you can only spend time seeing a doctor after the red light of your physical condition.
Have a good sense of time. The more self-disciplined you are, the more time you’ll have to manage. A precise schedule can save you a lot of unnecessary time costs. 33 The beauty of time front allows you to use more free time to read, exercise, master a skill, and severely surpass the person who is still sleeping in bed.
34 Self-disciplined people will not be willing to stay in the comfort zone, but will keep developing their own new field world with the mentality of giving it a try. Choosing ease and obeying instinct(本能)will bring the game of life to a dead end. And self-discipline may not always let you win. 35 If you decide that suffering is what you deserve, then the light will unavoidably come to you the same way.

（23-24高二上·江苏徐州·期末）There are a lot of chemicals that can cause indoor air pollution. A recent project conducted has found over 900 different substances in our home are related to it. Many researchers have already examined the causes of indoor air pollution. 36
It has been proved that different kinds of chemicals can be released by building materials and new furniture. Everything from painting and decorating products, bathroom cleaners and beauty products can contain these chemicals. 37 For instance, cooking generates a lot of harmful emissions, like frying meat in oil.
As a research from Denmark has highlighted, cooking, particularly roasting can damage our body. Roast dinners contain many potentially harmful pollutants. 38 When exposed to cooking emissions, people actually had DNA damage. It can be associated with cell repair processes that trigger cancer—causing genetic changes. 39 And what can we do with it
As far as cooking emissions are concerned, no one is suggesting switching to takeaways. 40 For example, cooking meat at high temperatures with lots of fat produces more harmful emissions than boiling pasta. Besides, opening windows and using cooker hoods are preferable so that we can enjoy the roasted meat without those undesirable effects.

Listen to your emotions. 42 Focusing on your emotions, rather than making excuses for your failure, might actually help you learn from the experience. In turn, it will contribute to your putting more effort into a second attempt.

Lower the bar and be practical. 44 This feeling can lead to a negative cycle where your confidence and motivation start to decrease. Super-slim stars with smooth, glowing skin that wear fancy dresses only exist in the movies. This is not real life. Consider your own journey and ask yourself: Have I really failed here Of course the answer is NO. What you need to do is change your mindset. 45 You might find these smaller goals bring about more wins to celebrate along the way.

（23-24高二上·江苏无锡·期末）With such a wide range of platforms and devices available to the everyday reader, the physical book, while not yet extinct, may end up going that way. Why 46 .
With a rapid increase in digital reading platforms, reading is no longer a common problem for bookworms. 47 They’re designed to simplify the process of reading on the go. You can select a book, track your progress, and even submit reviews.

These hand-held devices offer fantastic portability, readability and variety. 48 They are much smaller and lighter than physical books, making them an ideal option for those always on the go.
Social media has had a great effect on our reading habits. It governs our daily life. With physical books no longer a key form of entertainment for children, it has been replaced with digital alternatives. Social media and video games have replaced the ways in which we traditionally read and tell stories. 49 .
As is known to us all, technology has changed the ways in which we read at home as well as in the classroom. 50 Exposure to the digital potential of reading is introduced at an early age.

（23-24高二上·江苏南通·期末）The bonds of female friendship run deep and strong, so are they the new encouraging relationship, or idealized 51
In many ways, my close friendships with women are what you’d expect from TV shows like The Golden Girls: emotionally close and involved, fierce and rude. What these shows get right about girl friendship is that our bonds run deep and strong. 52 In those shows, we can see friends whose lives are so deeply mixed that they appear at each other’s doors whenever needed; a ride-or-die girl group who are at your side for life.
53 This phenomenon is called friendship jealousy, and it’s pretty common. “We feel friendship envy because so much of our confidence is gained from us knowing who we ‘belong’ to,” psychologist Lilly Sabir said. If we don’t have access to the sisterhood we think we’re supposed to as women, we can feel rejected and lonely. 54
There’s no fixed way for these relationships. You might have a group of girls who meet for lunch once a week, or you might have a few friends who aren’t part of the same group. 55 Maybe you don’t see yourself in either of those situations, but love your friends all the same. All of this is fine—it’s the quality of your connections that counts.
Healthy friendships are about trust and being able to be vulnerable with each other, not to prove you’re living life the right way. There’s nothing quite like having friends who really understand you, so let’s enjoy our mates without overthinking it, shall we
A．Are we supposed to give way to each other
B．But they also tend to idealize these relationships.
C．So how should we enjoy our female friendships
D．The ways we show up for each other can truly be beautiful.
E．Tolerating friends’ characters is a good way to maintain the friendship.
F．Whatever they are, enjoying friendships and not overthinking them is key.
G．Ever seen a group of girl-friends smiling over lunch and had a feeling of envy
（23-24高二上·江苏常州·期末）Dive into icy depths may not sound appealing. 56 though, especially for those who are enthusiastic about cold-water therapy. Participants claim jumping into or swimming in water no warmer than 15 degrees Celsius leaves them energetic and clear-headed, and even relieves pain.
Cold-water therapy has become more mainstream in recent years, in part due to the influence of Wim Hof, a famous Dutch extreme athlete who developed his own method of cold therapy coupled with conscious-breathing techniques. 57 . 2,000 years ago, ancient Greeks used water therapy to relieve fatigue and treat fever.
In Scandinavian countries, a traditional sauna (桑拿) session is sometimes followed by a cold swimming. 58 . High-performance athletes also use ice baths or cold showers to help reduce the delayed-onset muscle pains that follows intense exercise. And recent research suggests impressive benefits for mental health and stress management.
“ 59 ,” says Harper Phillie, one of a study’s authors. Swimming is also good exercise and often a social activity, which helps to get rid of anxiety and allows the body to feel both pleasure and motivation. Harper has been cold-water swimming for nearly two decades and compares the stress of cold-water therapy to that of intense exercise. “Done safely, it’s a pretty effective way to train the body,” he says. “But if you’ve got a heart condition, you have to be careful.”
If open water isn’t your thing, consider cold showers. For those wanting to try cold-water swimming in a lake or ocean, ease into it with short exposure times—just long enough for your body to get past the shock. 60 and always swim with a friend. Gradually increase the time you spend in cold water to three or four minutes, at least once a week. “That’s all you need to get the benefits,” says Harper.
A．Cold exposure increases “feel-good” hormones
B．The cold shock may hurt you
C．It made him popular among the cold-water enthusiasts
D．Never start by submerging your entire body in at once
E．Changing between hot and cold temperatures enables blood to move quicker in the skin
F．But it’s not a new trend
G．The benefits greatly outweigh any short-term discomfort
（23-24高二上·江苏淮安·期末）How to Practice Gratitude (感激) in Your Daily Life
Gratitude is a positive emotion. Learning how to practice it is an effort to remind yourself of the good in life and to show an internal appreciation for yourself and others. 61 . Whichever exercise you do, it’s vital to remember the elements of gratitude: the awareness of the good things, expressing gratitude to yourself and giving thanks to people you’re grateful for.
Create a gratitude list. The intense stress of life can get you so caught up that we may fail to recognize the positive events or interactions we encounter on a daily basis. 62 . It can also help you picture the biggest and smallest moments that make your day.
63 . Expressing your gratitude to those you’re grateful for strengthens your relationship with them. Plus, bonding with family and friends is a simple act that can help you feel gratitude for these relationships. Sharing kindness will make you feel happier and healthier. In turn, those benefits get passed along to those you most care about.
Make a gratitude jar (罐). Make the jar fun and personable by decorating it and placing it where you can always see it. Every day, write down what you’re grateful for on a slip of paper and put it in the jar. 64 . Whenever there’s a moment of doubt or sadness, return to the jar and read a few notes to remind yourself of who and what is good in your life.
In conclusion, engaging in daily gratitude exercises can make a great difference. Showing gratitude helps you connect with positive emotions, focus on acknowledging the good, and shift your focus to positive aspects of life. 65 .

B．Seek out opportunities to help others
C．There are several gratitude activities and exercises

（21-22高二下·江苏南通·期末）Anyone who deals with teens knows how difficult the adolescent years can be. Teens are always known to do wild and dangerous things. 71 But now scientists have studied the physical development of the brain in more detail, leading to a new theory of why teens act the way they do.
Scientists discovered that though our brains are almost at their full size by the age of six, they are not fully developed. Now, scientists have found our brains continue to change till age 25. 72 .
The studies confirm teens are more likely to take risks and behave in extreme ways. One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens think of danger and reward (回报). When teenagers think about rewards, their brains produce more chemicals that create pleasure than adult brains would. 73 . It also makes teens feel more excited about new experiences than adults do.
Besides, researchers found it makes social connections especially rewarding. Generally, teenagers have an intense need to meet new people and think the youth may one day control the world they live in. As it’s still developing, a teenage brain can change to deal with new situations. 74 . In this way, the brain encourages teens to have various friends.
Some people think that this hunt for greater rewards can sometimes lead teenagers to go to extremes. 75 It means that teens are more likely, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent. The scientists’ findings suggest that in the long run, the impulses (冲动) of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own lives successfully.
A．It is hard for the teens to adapt to new situations.
B．The result is the changeable actions seen in teens.
C．Therefore, it connects social rewards with more pleasure.
D．This makes the rewards seem more important than the risks.
E．However, it is of great benefit for teenagers to go for rewards.
F．The teen brain inspires teenagers to help prepare for the school life.
G．These things were thought to be down to the foolishness of the young.

28．根据后文“In different languages, there are words with various meanings, which can be a significant problem for machine translators.

30．根据上文“It’s difficult for machines to distinguish style and tone. Every written document has a different style and tone. A document can have poetic, funny or persuasive style and tone.
