Grammar and Vocabulary （每题 1 分；共 20 分） Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
How good are you at maths Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal, to 21 (calculate) your household bills. But many fear the moment
22 they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion.
It can seem daunting, but this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.
The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be 23 (likely) to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31%of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is
critical, especially 24 a young age”. She thinks the key is 25 (get) people, especially women, who love teaching maths to younger children.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear 26 maths arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer — there’s no room for bluffing — 27 make you more worried about underperforming.” And 28 we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists 29 (try) to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen 30 control on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Today’s children are exhausted, and not just because one in three kids is not getting enough sleep. Sleep deprivation in kids (who require at least nine hours a night, depending on age) has been found to 31 decrease academic achievement, lower intelligence test scores, slow physical growth, and 32 to moodiness and irritability. While the argument for protecting our children’s sleep time is convincing, there is another kind of rest that is 33
and beneficial to our children’s academic, emotional, and creative lives: daydreaming.
Not all mental downtime (停工休息期 ) is alike, of course. Downtime spent playing a videogame or watching a television show may have its 34 , but the kind of downtime I am talking about is different. I’m talking about the kind of mind-wandering that happens when the brain is free of interruption and allowed to get rid of the 35 of the day. Television, video games, and other electronic 36 prevent this kind of mental wandering because
they interrupt the flow of thoughts and memories that 37 the foundation of positive, productive daydreaming.
There is, however, another way of looking at mind wandering. For the individual, mind wandering offers the possibility of very real, personal reward, some immediate, some more
38 . These rewards include self-awareness, memory consolidation, future planning, simulating the 39 of another person, evaluating the implications of self and others’ emotional reactions, moral reasoning.
In other words, daydreaming only seems lazy from the outside, but viewed from the inside or from the perspective of a psychologist, such as Kaufman, or a neuroscientist, such as Mary Helen, a complicated and extremely 40 neurological process is taking place. Viewed from the inside, our children are exploring the only space where they truly have autonomy: their own minds.
Reading Comprehension (41 – 55 题，每题 1 分；56 – 70 题，每题 2 分；共 45 分) Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Is there anything nicer than a cooling ice cream on a hot summer’s day This traditional treat is centuries old, but our tastes and consumer habits are 41 . How is the ice cream production process changing, and who is driving this 42
Making ice cream is a 43 process. While the recipe is 44 -milk, sugar and fat, plus flavors and colors-ice cream has a complex chemistry. Getting the 45 right between ice, fat and air is important if the ice cream is to have the right texture. To achieve this, the ingredients need to be mixed and heated, then cooled and frozen-a process that takes time and uses a lot of energy. Designers and engineers are working to 46 the production process with new specialized equipment to make it increasingly automated. For now, 47 , even with the help of robots and 3D printers, it can take up to two years from testing a new frozen dessert product to it being 48 to consumers.
And demand is only going up. According to the food packaging company Tetra Pak, more than 25 billion litres of ice cream were eaten 49 in 2021. While the US and China are the biggest consumers, data from Nielsen IQ shows that people in the UK bought 28% more ice
cream during the UK’s record-breaking summer compared to a year earlier. 50 , rising temperatures can explain why some people are buying more ice cream, but it’s not the only explanation. The pandemic has seen people 51 pleasures they can enjoy at home, which include eating indulgent (放纵的) foods. And worries about the cost-of-living crisis could have a 52 effect, as even a premium (高端的) ice cream is an affordable treat.
So, what new things can we expect on a stick or in a cone Consumers of all ages buy ice cream, but it is millennial consumers who are driving interest in more original flavors, including spices. Dairy still 53 , but plant-based ice cream, sorbets (雪糕) and low-calorie choices are a growing part of the frozen dessert market. But, according to Elsebeth Baungaard, portfolio manager (投资组合经理) at Tetra Pak, the next worldwide 54 will be less about innovation and more about portion size. “I’m sorry to say it’s simply 55 ,” she says. “But the quality will be higher.”
41．A．peaking B．evolving C．continuing D．surviving
42．A．growth B．investment C．expansion D．shift

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
I believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it, but I believe that I should do it. So several times a day, while working in our emergency department, I leave my patient’s bedside, get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up, before continuing on my day.
Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient. It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want my family members taken care of. This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient.
Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as a volunteer. The short story is that I broke my femur (大腿骨), the large bone in my hip, and my recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so. The surgeon who performed the last three operations usually did his rounds late at night.
He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking Einstein. He would ask about my pain and my mental state, but what I remember most is his offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited. I felt that he cared about me and, more importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do.
Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.
According to the author, what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean
It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it.
It gives him the power to order tests and treatments.
It’s helpful to save a life when you are in trouble.
It helps communicate his care towards his patients.
The author mentioned his own experience as a patient, which of the following is NOT his intention
Showing his gratitude for the surgeon B．Demonstrating his action of giving blankets
Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patients
Claiming the importance of patients’ trust toward doctors
What does the last sentence (paragraph 5) imply
The author felt regretful for not making connection with his patients by bringing them blankets.
good physician should understand patient’s needs.
C．It’s important to communicate doctors’ care to their patients.
D．The author failed as a person as he didn’t show his understanding for his patients’ needs.
The passage is manly about .
emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patients B．emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patients C．emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heart D．emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship
(B)
Who is most likely to be accepted as a foster volunteer
John, a college graduate living in a peaceful community. B．Ellen, a pet owner expecting a dog weighing 35 pounds. C．Tommy, a homeless person looking for a job in volunteer services. D．Alice, a nurse living 65 miles from AHS shelters in Minnesota.
What can applicants expect to find in the video
Ways to submit the foster application. B．Introduction to the shelter environment at AHS.
Key responsibilities in providing care for large animals.
Related information in the volunteer interview.
Why are the applicants charged
To ensure applicants’ dedication to the program.
To pay for management and training.
To cover the cost of the volunteer T-shirt.
To support the shelter’s daily operations.
(C)
For companies who bottle pure mountain air, like one in Canada, dropping air quality is a business opportunity. For the rest of us, it’s a killer. While billions of people live in a fog of
harmful airborne particles each day, the business of Vitality Air, which sells bottled Canadian mountain air, is booming.
“Our Chinese website keeps crashing. We are getting orders from all over the country, not just the wealthier cities,” said Harrison Wang, China representative for Vitality Air. “When the air is bad, we see increase in sales.” While the company has sold 12,000 bottles of air from Canada’s national parks to Chinese people sick of the pollution that chokes many of the country’s cities, plenty of other nations are increasingly asking for clean air.
The past week has also identified the cause for this smoggy malaise (难以捉摸的问题). The torching of fossil fuels has grown so quickly that the world is heading to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide beyond 400 parts per million — a level unseen in human history. Particles and chemicals released from power plants and vehicles are killing us as the CO dissolves the Great Barrier Reef and helps rob Alaska of a winter.
Indeed, if humans vanished tomorrow, our great contributions will not be non-hovering hover boards, but our pollution. Recent research concludes that on vast geological timescales, humans will leave behind just a layer of plastic and a blanket of planet-warming greenhouse gases.
Cities, where most pollution dwells, are perhaps ahead of national governments in realizing the crisis we all now face. In the US, the Clean Air Act has lifted the smog from many large American metropolises and have banded with other urban areas from around the world to do more to tackle climate change. Paris has placed a monthly ban upon cars along the Champs-Elysee, while Santiago in Chile last year temporarily banned 40% of its 1.7m vehicles.
But with more people dying from air pollution each year than malaria and HIV, it’s clear that far more needs to be done to clean up our cities, stem the flow of plastic into the environment and help rapidly growing economies exploit the sun and the wind, rather than coal, for their energy needs. Otherwise we will run out of places to bottle clean air from.
Which of the following statement about Vitality Air is TRUE
It sells bottled pure mountain air only to wealthy cities in China.
The Canadian company profits by transporting national parks’ air to Chinese people.
It is a technology company whose website keeps crashing.
Its products cause serious environmental problems.
What is the root of the world’s air pollution problem
The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide.
The excessive burning of fossil fuels.
The dissolving Great Barrier Reef.
The trillions of tiny pieces plastic.
What can be inferred from the passage
Plenty of other nations were not able to buy clean bottled air from Vitality Air. B．Innovative technologies would be the consequence if humans disappeared on the earth.
The warm winter in Alaska is caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
National governments are working on the smoggy problem through a joint effort.
Which of the following is the best title
Bottled air: far from a silver bullet to air pollution
Dropping air quality: the killer hunting all of us
C．A global dilemma: pollution has both upsides and downsides D．An emergent call: we are running out of clean bottled air
Section C
Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Not All Waste Has to Go to Waste
Most of the world’s 2.22 billion tons of annual trash ends up in landfills or open dumps. Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has created a solution to our massive trash problem: waste microfactories. There little trash processors — some as small as 500 square feet — house a series of machines that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with the new technology. 67
Sahajwalla launched the world’s first waste micro factory targeting electronic waste, or e-waste, in 2018 in Sydney. A second one began recycling plastics in 2019. Now, her lab group is working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented microfactory technology. 68 The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on location, avoiding the long, often international, high-emission treks between recycling processors and manufacturing plants. With a microfactory, gone are the days of needing separate facilities to
collect and store materials, extract elements and produce new products.
69 Her invention evolves this idea by taking materials from an old product and creating something different. “The kids don’t look like the parents,” she says.
For example, the microfactory can break down old smartphones and computer monitors and extract silica (from the glass) and carbon (from the plastic casing), and then combine them together. This generates a common material with many industrial uses. 70
In 2019, just 17.4 percent of e-waste was recycled, so they ability to re-form offers a crucial new development in the challenge recycling complex electronic devices. “We can do so much more with materials,” says Sahajwalla.
Traditional recycling has not worked for every recycling challenge, especially the recycling of e-waste.
She says the small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on renewable energy, unlike most large manufacturing plants.
Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth R”, adding “re-form” to the common phrase “reduce, rouse, recycle.”
Electronics contains various poisonous chemicals and materials that are released into the environments if they are not dealt with properly.
The new all-in-one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust.
Traditionally, recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products — like melting down plastic to make more plastic things.

(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Read with Eyes or Ears
Picture yourself sitting at home in a quiet reading nook, ignoring the world around you, absorbed in a tale. You read the blurb, instantly became intrigued and now you’re in the middle of an absolute page-turner. But, there’s a hot debate-physical books vs. books vs. audiobooks. Does
the device you’re using to read affect your reaction to the book
Generally, reading uses several areas of the brain. There’s attention span, reasoning, reading fluency, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social perception. So, whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits.
But, let’s look at the pros to reading with your eyes-that’s physical books and e-books. They can help to retain information better. This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held more closely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders, which it likely will at some point or other.
On the other hand, there’s the audiobook. Headphones in, you’re switched off from life and the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film-in your head. From a scientific perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a greater sense of empathy as you hear the emotion of the narrator. We can more easily understand inflection and intonation. Hearing the story engages different parts of the brain, heightening the intensity and imagery, making you enjoy it more.
All in all, it seems that there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks. Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format. It may just change your whole literary experience.

expectancy was caused by decreases in deaths from infections and long-term diseases in children and adults. The study says gains in life expectancy are a result of economic improvements. These games have led to improved use, nutrition, increased access to primary and secondary health care and the development of new medical technologies.
The US is behind other developed countries. Americans continue to have one of the lower life expectancies among developed countries. The writers of the study said life expectancy increases were smaller partly because of a lack of universal healthcare in the United States. The study also said problems such as relatively high death rates in children and high rates of obesity were to blame. In other words, most people are too fat. The study said that with longer life expectancy, there will also be new pressures on health and social services. The number of people needing long term care in their old age will increase, which will put stress on available facilities given this care. The study suggests that either more facilities will need to be built or healthcare may need to be provided at home. There will also be additional pressure on pensions and social security. These are programs that provide money to people after they retire from work. With people living longer, they will require more pension and social security payments than earlier generations. The study suggests that either the retirement age will need to be increased, or plans will need to put in place to transition workers to retirement at a later age.
Question 11: Which group will probably be the first to live beyond 90 years old Question 12: Which is not a factor leading to a lower life expectancy in the US Question 13: What can be done to deal with the pressures on health services

【原文】 Today, I want to talk about how to be an entrepreneur. In other words, a great businessman. In fact, many people are amazed with how the entrepreneurs mind works. How does an entrepreneur become successful The following tips may be useful to you. One, you need to think up great ideas. You have to research if your business idea is feasible. After gathering all the needed information, you can now decide if you will pursue the business idea or do it in the future. Besides, you can’t work your way to success if you don’t know some concepts, such as return on an investment, speed of business returns, and many others. So having the proper educational background will help you a lot in succeeding in the business world. Two, be a risk taker. Most entrepreneurs are not afraid to take risks. This does not mean that entrepreneurs enter the market with their eyes closed, hoping for success.

It’s all part of life, and so you should not be scared. Three, be friendly and genuine to your customers.

【原文】Tony: Hello, Professor Jones.
Professor Jones: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today
Tony: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn’t coming up right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me, one I take part in。 Professor Jones: What sport did you choose
Tony: I decided to write about cross country skiing. Professor Jones: What are you going to say about skiing
Tony: That’s the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country. Professor Jones: So why is that a problem
Tony: As I started describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods, I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross country skiing isn’t as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that’s not part of my paper. So I guess I should leave it out. But now I don’t know how to explain the feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It’s not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds rolling by. That’ s different.
Professor Jones: Then you’ll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out Part of a point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered, as he wrote. That’s common, right
Tony: Yeah, I guess so.

Grammar and Vocabulary （每题 1 分；共 20 分） Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
How good are you at maths Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal, to 21 (calculate) your household bills. But many fear the moment
22 they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion.
It can seem daunting, but this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.
The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be 23 (likely) to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31%of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is critical, especially 24 a young age”. She thinks the key is 25 (get) people, especially women, who love teaching maths to younger children.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear 26 maths arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer —
there’s no room for bluffing — 27 make you more worried about underperforming.” And 28 we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists 29 (try) to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen 30 control on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章提到“数学焦虑”完全是正常现象并且指出了对数学产生恐惧的原因和解决办法。
21．考查非谓语动词。句意：数学无处不在，从计算餐后如何分摊账单，到计算你的家庭账单。根据空格前的介词 to 可知，空格处应该用动名词 calculating 作宾语。故填 calculating。 22．考查定语从句。句意：但许多人害怕当他们不得不与数字和数字打交道时，感到真正的担忧和困惑。空格处引导定语从句，对先行词 the moment 进行限定说明，先行词在从句中作时间状语，应该用关系副词 when 引导从句。故填 when。
23．考查形容词比较级。句意：研究发现，在教授这门学科时感到紧张的数学老师会将他们的焦虑传递给学生，而女孩更可能容易受到影响。根据句中的 girls 可知，此处暗含着“女孩子和男孩子比较”，应该表示“更可能”，所以应该用比较级 more likely。故填 more likely。 24．考查介词。句意：波士顿大学凯斯特罗姆商学院的 Shulamit Kahn 告诉 BBC，她认为给予学生，尤其是女孩，良好的榜样“是至关重要的，尤其是在年幼的时候”。根据空格后的名词 age 可知，此处应该用介词 at 与其搭配，at a young age“在年轻时”是固定搭配。故填 at。 25．考查非谓语动词。句意：她认为关键在于吸引那些喜欢教小孩数学的人，尤其是女性。根据空格前的名词 key 可知，空格处应用不定式形式 to get 作表语。故填 to get。

Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Today’s children are exhausted, and not just because one in three kids is not getting enough sleep. Sleep deprivation in kids (who require at least nine hours a night, depending on age) has been found to 31 decrease academic achievement, lower intelligence test scores, slow physical growth, and 32 to moodiness and irritability. While the argument for protecting our children’s sleep time is convincing, there is another kind of rest that is 33
and beneficial to our children’s academic, emotional, and creative lives: daydreaming.
Not all mental downtime (停工休息期 ) is alike, of course. Downtime spent playing a videogame or watching a television show may have its 34 , but the kind of downtime I
am talking about is different. I’m talking about the kind of mind-wandering that happens when the brain is free of interruption and allowed to get rid of the 35 of the day. Television, video games, and other electronic 36 prevent this kind of mental wandering because they interrupt the flow of thoughts and memories that 37 the foundation of positive, productive daydreaming.
There is, however, another way of looking at mind wandering. For the individual, mind wandering offers the possibility of very real, personal reward, some immediate, some more
38 . These rewards include self-awareness, memory consolidation, future planning, simulating the 39 of another person, evaluating the implications of self and others’ emotional reactions, moral reasoning.
In other words, daydreaming only seems lazy from the outside, but viewed from the inside or from the perspective of a psychologist, such as Kaufman, or a neuroscientist, such as Mary Helen, a complicated and extremely 40 neurological process is taking place. Viewed from the inside, our children are exploring the only space where they truly have autonomy: their own minds.

Reading Comprehension (41 – 55 题，每题 1 分；56 – 70 题，每题 2 分；共 45 分) Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Is there anything nicer than a cooling ice cream on a hot summer’s day This traditional treat is centuries old, but our tastes and consumer habits are 41 . How is the ice cream production process changing, and who is driving this 42
Making ice cream is a 43 process. While the recipe is 44 -milk, sugar and fat, plus flavors and colors-ice cream has a complex chemistry. Getting the 45 right
between ice, fat and air is important if the ice cream is to have the right texture. To achieve this, the ingredients need to be mixed and heated, then cooled and frozen-a process that takes time and uses a lot of energy. Designers and engineers are working to 46 the production process with new specialized equipment to make it increasingly automated. For now, 47 , even with the help of robots and 3D printers, it can take up to two years from testing a new frozen dessert product to it being 48 to consumers.
And demand is only going up. According to the food packaging company Tetra Pak, more than 25 billion litres of ice cream were eaten 49 in 2021. While the US and China are the biggest consumers, data from Nielsen IQ shows that people in the UK bought 28% more ice cream during the UK’s record-breaking summer compared to a year earlier. 50 , rising temperatures can explain why some people are buying more ice cream, but it’s not the only explanation. The pandemic has seen people 51 pleasures they can enjoy at home, which include eating indulgent (放纵的) foods. And worries about the cost-of-living crisis could
have a 52 effect, as even a premium (高端的) ice cream is an affordable treat.
So, what new things can we expect on a stick or in a cone Consumers of all ages buy ice cream, but it is millennial consumers who are driving interest in more original flavors, including spices. Dairy still 53 , but plant-based ice cream, sorbets (雪糕) and low-calorie choices are a growing part of the frozen dessert market. But, according to Elsebeth Baungaard, portfolio manager (投资组合经理) at Tetra Pak, the next worldwide 54 will be less about innovation and more about portion size. “I’m sorry to say it’s simply 55 ,” she says. “But the quality will be higher.”

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
I believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it, but I believe that I should do it. So several times a day, while working in our emergency department, I leave my patient’s bedside, get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up, before continuing on my day.
Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me
it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient. It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want my family members taken care of. This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient.
Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as a volunteer. The short story is that I broke my femur (大腿骨), the large bone in my hip, and my recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so. The surgeon who performed the last three operations usually did his rounds late at night.
He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking Einstein. He would ask about my pain and my mental state, but what I remember most is his offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited. I felt that he cared about me and, more importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do.
Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.
According to the author, what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean
It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it.
It gives him the power to order tests and treatments.
It’s helpful to save a life when you are in trouble.
It helps communicate his care towards his patients.
The author mentioned his own experience as a patient, which of the following is NOT his intention
Showing his gratitude for the surgeon B．Demonstrating his action of giving blankets
Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patients
Claiming the importance of patients’ trust toward doctors
What does the last sentence (paragraph 5) imply
The author felt regretful for not making connection with his patients by bringing them blankets.
good physician should understand patient’s needs.
C．It’s important to communicate doctors’ care to their patients.
D．The author failed as a person as he didn’t show his understanding for his patients’ needs.
The passage is manly about .
emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patients B．emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patients C．emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heart D．emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship
【答案】56．D 57．D 58．C 59．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作为一名医生，作者经常给有需要的病人准备一条毯子。这是因为作者在一次生病的时候，受到了 David 医生的细心照料和关心，所以在作者当了医生以后，他也尽量为病人着想，理解他们的需求。
推理判断题。根据第二段“Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to
meet their basic needs as a patient.(这让我回到了为什么我认为我应该给我的病人带一条毯子。对我来说，这是与他人沟通的第一步，我的首要任务是他或她的身体和情感上的舒适。这是一个简单的举动，表达了我作为病人满足他们基本需求的愿望)”可知，根据作者的观点，给病人发放毯子的行为意味着传达他对病人的关心。故选 D。
细节理解题。根据第四段“I felt that he cared about me and, more importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do.(我觉得他关心我，更重要的是，他理解我的感受。他与我建立了联系，我信任并服从了他让我做的一切)”可知，A 选项“表达对外科医生的感激之情”属于意图；根据第二段“This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient.(当我还是病人的时候，这种行为也是我
的榜样)”可知，B 选项“解释他给毛毯的行为”属于意图；根据第二段“Which brings me back
to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional.(
这让我回到了为什么我认为我应该给我的病人带一条毯子。对我来说，这是与他人沟通的第一步，我的首要任务是他或她的身体和情感上的舒适)”可知，C 选项“暗示类似于给病人送薯条和送毯子的功能”属于意图；D 选项没有提及，故选 D。
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.(但最终，如果我没有和我的病人建立这种联系，如果我没有向他们展示我理解他们的需求，那么我就辜负了他们作为一个医生和一个人的期望)”可知，如果作者没有和他的病人建立联系，如果作者没有向病人表明他理解他们的需求，那么作者就觉得自己辜负
了病人，无论是作为一名医生，还是作为一个人。换言之，作者认为要与病人建立联系，要向病人表明理解他们的需求，即把医生的关怀传达给病人是很重要的。即最后一句暗示向病人传达医生的护理很重要。故选 C。
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand
their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.(拿条毯子给我的病人盖上，最 终对我来说是一种制衡。我有权安排数百项检查和治疗。我努力做到永远正确（或者至少从不犯错）。在不太罕见的情况下，我帮助拯救了一条生命。但最终，如果我没有和我的病人建立这种联系，如果我没有向他们展示我理解他们的需求，那么我就辜负了他们作为一个医生和一个人的期望)”以及文章讲述了作为一名医生，作者经常给有需要的病人准备一条毯子。这是因为作者在一次生病的时候，受到了 David 医生的细心照料和关心，所以在作者当了医生以后，他也尽量为病人着想，理解他们的需求。可知，这篇文章强调了真诚照顾和理解病人的重要性。故选 A。
