Francis Asiku had just landed his first nursing job in Midigo. He was excited and joyful. But in his first month at work, Mr. Asiku was surprised to learn that what many newborns and expectant mothers seeking care needed wasn’t necessarily medicine. It was nutritious food.
He recalls one hot afternoon, when a young mother rushed into the health center with a 4-year-old child. Mr. Asiku quickly found poor feeding as the root of the child’s problem.
When he spotted birds eating mangoes heartily on his way home, a question struck him: Why were so many people in his community famished when it experienced two plentiful mango seasons a year
He raised the issue with his younger brother, Emmanuel Mao. Soon afterward, the brothers met with village elders under the huge mango tree where community meetings were held. That was the start of their nonprofit, The Mango Project, which delivers glass jars full of mangoes to schools, to health centers, and directly to hungry individuals.
Most mangoes in Midigo spoil (腐烂) because rural villagers lack refrigerators. So the brothers needed to figure out a way to preserve mangoes throughout dry periods. They began “jarrying” — cutting fruit into thin slices and putting them in a glass container of boiling-hot water and sugar.
While canning is practiced throughout the world, many Midigo villagers can’t bear the cost of sugar, not to mention glass jars with secure cover. The relatively easy preservation method delighted village elders.
The brothers initially collected mangoes that were scattered throughout the village, but have since expanded their initiative to preserve the fruit from their family’s ancestral land. Mr. Asiku understands that mangoes alone won’t solve the community’s health issues, as people need a variety of foods. But he believes this project is a significant step toward improving food security in Midigo.
4. What inspired Asiku to start The Mango Project
A. The shortage of medical care.
B. The request from village elders.
C. His observation of feasting birds.
D. His encounter with a dying child.
5 What does the underlined word “famished” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A Desperate. B. Annoyed. C. Ignorant. D. Starved.
6. Why did the village elders approve of the “jarrying” method
A. It required few special tools.
B. It was affordable for most villagers.
C. It preserved the sweetness of mangoes.
D. It made the most of the wasted mangoes.
7. What is Asiku’s attitude towards the influence of the project
A. Cautiously positive. B. Mildly uncertain.
C. Slightly pessimistic. D. Blindly optimistic.
C
Serotonin, known as a “happy hormone (激素)”, is widely thought to play a role in mood, sleep, learning, and more. So it’s no wonder that there’s an abundance of health products on the market that claim to boost serotonin.
Researchers have long thought that serotonin has a role in regulating (调节) mood because drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely used for and show promising results in treating depression. But if you ask a serotonin researcher specifically how serotonin regulates any specific function, the answer will likely be “I don’t know.”
Serotonin is often compared to dopamine, another “happy hormone” that likely has many different roles in the body. But scientists are much more confident about what dopamine does in the central nervous system. There’s strong evidence that it’s involved in brain circuits that predict how much of a reward you’ll receive.
Despite all these, many serotonin products claim to lift your mood by boosting your serotonin levels. Some of them contain molecule (分子) 5-HT and tryptophan, two molecules that are transformed to serotonin in the body. But there’s only limited evidence that they work. Tryptophan, for one, is found in large quantities in people’s daily diets. Experts say that taking large amounts of it in pill form isn’t likely to do much to serotonin levels in the brain. Some studies have linked low tryptophan levels to worsening mood, but that’s only in people who already have depression. On top of that, to get to the brain, tryptophan needs to cross the blood-brain barrier, and can only do this a little bit at a time.
There are also natural ways to stimulate serotonin release, like exercise, eating healthy, and getting plenty of sleep. If you’re worried about your mood, ultimately, the best thing you can do is take the traditional route — If you’re feeling down, talk to a doctor.
8. Why is serotonin believed to help regulate mood
A. It is acknowledged as a happy hormone.
B. It is a key element of mood regulating drugs.
C. SSRIs are recommended by researchers.
D. SSRIs are effective for depression treatment.
9. What is the purpose of mentioning dopamine in paragraph 3
A. To explore its similarity with serotonin.
B. To highlight its advantage over serotonin.
C. To clarify the working principle of serotonin.
D. To prove the insufficient knowledge of serotonin.
10. How does the author think of serotonin products
A. Effective. B. Overused. C. Unreliable. D. Misunderstood.
11. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Can we really boost serotonin
B. How to stimulate serotonin release
C. Why serotonin products fail to work
D. Is serotonin more effective than dopamine
D
People are often quite selective about the information they’ll accept, seeking out sources that will confirm their biases (偏见). In theory, search engines can potentially change that by prioritizing results from high-quality, credible sources.
Obviously, that hasn’t worked out on the technology side, as people quickly learned how to game the algorithms (算法) used by search engines. But a new study is suggesting that the concept fails on the human side, too, as people tend to enter search terms that are specific enough to ensure that the results will end up strengthening their existing beliefs.
Researchers Eugina Leung and Oleg Urminsky explored this by focusing on simple questions like, “Is caffeine (咖啡因) good or bad for you ” If you wanted to search for that, you could potentially ask “what are the health effects of caffeine ” which should get you a mixture of the benefits and risks. But people could also use terms like, “Is caffeine bad for you ” These searches are likely to pull up a more biased selection of results.
With that in mind, they designed a series of experiments. First, they asked the participants their thoughts on an issue. The participants were then told to go search for more information, after which their opinions on the topic were checked again. The results showed that if a participant used narrow search terms, they were more likely to structure them in a way that should return information that confirms their biases. And, not surprisingly, they were more likely to hang onto their original opinion after having been given the chance to look over the results of that search.
The topic really didn’t matter that much. Leung and Urminsky tested questions covering different aspects of life. All of them displayed the same pattern. Again, it was never absolute — narrow searches tended to be 10 to 25 percent more common than general ones. There was simply a tendency to focus searches in a way that would likely strengthen existing beliefs. But that tendency was remarkably consistent.
12. What does “the concept” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Tricking algorithms to get results.
B. Using technology to broaden minds.
C. Presenting quality results to avoid biases.
D. Entering specific terms to confirm beliefs.
13. Which might be a proper search term to get unbaised results
A. Does red meat increase cancer risk
B. How does green tea impact health
C. Is drinking milk good for bone health
D. What are the benefits of a low-sugar diet
14. What is the result of narrow search terms
A. Original insight. B. Fixed mindset.
C. Complete confidence. D. Structured information.
15. What does the last paragraph emphasize about the phenomenon
A. Its universality. B. Its limitation.
C. Its solution. D. Its tendency.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As a professor, my main task is to teach young adults skills that will prepare them to stand out in their careers. It is assumed that professional excellence requires formal training, while excellence in the rest of life, such as leisure, does not. ____16____ People believe work demands training while leisure time is easy and enjoyable and comes naturally.
Our higher-education system operates on this assumption. ____17____ Leisure is not at all straightforward or easy. True leisure isn’t simple or automatic. I don’t want to waste any time on meaningless activities. Both work and free time should help me grow — to become wiser, happier, and a better person.
____18____ German philosopher Josef Pieper believed that when we understand and practice leisure properly, we can achieve our best selves. Pieper thought we misunderstood leisure when we defined it as work’s opposite. He described it as an attitude of opening your mind through deep thinking.
Leisure, in other words, is far from the modern concept of just relaxing. It is a serious business, and if you don’t do leisure well, you will never find life’s full meaning. True leisure would involve philosophical reflection, deep artistic experiences, learning new ideas or skills, spending time in nature, or deepening personal relationships. ____19____
Social scientists agree with Pieper’s ideas. We may define leisure as doing nothing. But researchers found that this kind of act brings short-term happiness. ____20____ So we need to take the time to focus on life’s big questions without interruption and learn to appreciate what is beautiful.
A. I used to think like this.
B. But to me, it’s very questionable.
C. You do these for personal growth.
D. You fail to give leisure its due seriousness.
E. My attitude is not, in fact, especially original.
F. After all, there is no course specifically teaching leisure.
G. It is social activities and self reflection that result in lasting joy.

I have been recording the voices of nature for long. Early in my career, my ____21____ goal was to catch recordings of particular species with the help of shotgun microphones.
Such recordings are ____22____ useful when it comes to training people to recognize species by their sounds. I ____23____ at this process and not only published a number of my own ____24____ for taking wildlife sounds, but also provided recordings for museum and nature center ____25____, as well as for movies and other projects. More recently, my “species-recordings” have ____26____ their way to the internet and smartphones.
Pursuing wildlife and getting closeup recordings was a lot of fun and ____27____ numerous trips to wild areas. The joy of the ____28____ and catching each animals’ voice was truly satisfying. But, over time, I found myself growing ____29____ with the extraction (提取)-approach to nature recording and instead began to focus on the natural soundscape (音景) ____30____, on the full chorus of sound flowing to my ears at any particular time and place. I ____31____ an interest in what made natural soundscapes beautiful and inspring, and on what groups of sounds affected me in ____32____ ways, which are suitable for relaxation and personal enjoyment.
Through repeated, in-depth ____33____ to nature’s melodies (曲调), I soon gained a deep ____34____ of their healing qualities and came to regard myself as a “sound healer”. I ____35____ myself to an herbalist (草药师) who goes into the forests and fields in search of medicinal herbs.

Sara’s family were farmers and grew delicious fruits and vegetables. Sometimes Sara and her sisters would select the best ones to show at the State Fair.
One day, Sara was surveying the strawberries. As Sara searched, she suddenly stopped short. Something surprising stood out in front of her. “Suzy! Stacey!” she shouted for her sisters. “Come see!” Her sisters walked over from the stable where they had been feeding the horses. When they got closer, they were shocked. There, growing under a leafy vine, was a strawberry the size of a pumpkin.
“Unbelievable!” said Suzy. “I’ve never seen a strawberry that size.”
Her sister Stacey suggested they submit the strawberry as their selection to the State Fair. “Such a significant strawberry should stand out from the competition.” Sara and Suzy agreed. The sisters settled on a scheme to support the fruit as much as possible before the fair.
Every day, one would sit with the sizable strawberry and sing gentle songs, which did seem to stimulate the strawberry, and its size grew significantly. As Sara hummed, she giggled (咯咯笑) to herself, “This giant could bake a hundred pies!” She remembered her mother’s wisdom: “Never worry over split(裂开的)berries, girls—they’re just begging to become dessert.” In a week, the berry had grown to be as big as a watermelon. After the second week, it was as large as a tractor tire. It was time to take their substantial strawberry to the State Fair.
The sisters somehow succeeded in shifting it safely onto the pick-up truck. Sara and Suzy sat on either side of the strawberry while Stacey drove.
At the fair, the spectators crowded the sisters’ stand to see the surprising strawberry.
“Sensational!” said a shoe salesman.
“Shocking!” screamed a senior citizen
“Superb!” said the judge of the competition. “I’ve never seen such a splendid, superior one! I declare it the Supreme Strawberry of the State Fair!”
The sisters screamed at their success.

47. Possible version:
However, just at the moment of their victory, the fruit unexpectedly burst open. The crowd gasped, and the sisters’ hearts sank. The once magnificent strawberry now lay in a sticky mess on the table. But Sara, ever the optimist, quickly recovered. “Look at the seeds!” she exclaimed, pointing to the numerous tiny seeds scattered all over. “This isn’t a loss, it’s a new beginning!” She proposed that they distribute the seeds to anyone interested, so everyone could grow their own giant strawberries.
Suddenly, Sara saw the nearby cake stand. An idea sparked in her eyes. She approached the baker, explaining the situation and her plan. The baker, interested and impressed by her spirit, agreed to help. Together, they used the fresh strawberry pieces to create strawberry cakes, right there at the fair. The crowd, now delighted, lined up for a taste of the unplanned dessert. The sisters’ stall, initially known for the giant strawberry, was now the talk of the town for its delicious and inventive strawberry cake. The day ended with full bellies and happy hearts, proving that even when things don’t go as planned, a bit of creativity can turn a potential disaster into a sweet victory.
