Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
While I was teaching in China, I became interested in acupuncture. It was after returning from China and witnessing how successful it had been that I reached the decision to become an acupuncturist myself. I was lucky to discover that the town where I lived had a famous college of traditional acupuncture.
Alternative medicine such as acupuncture is particularly important for me because I firmly believe that it works on the level of body, mind and spirit. This is very different from Western medicine which is supposed to work only on the body. When a person is ill, it is believed that there's something in their life that is putting their energy levels out of balance. What alternative therapies try to do is help to gradually push that energy back into balance. The result is that any disease present might naturally disappear as it cannot survive when energies are balanced.
I've treated a wide range of people for various conditions, for example, people suffering from stress and anxiety. To acquire a qualification in acupuncture, I took a course that lasted three years. I had to go to the college about one weekend in three. I also had a large amount of homework and practical work to do, which I did two or three evenings a week. This involved locating points on different people. As you can imagine, this isn't straightforward as people are of different sizes and have differently shaped bodies.
In the future I hope to set up an alternative health clinic which will involve myself as an acupuncturist but perhaps other people as well. I'd like to work with people who provide treatments such as rubbing (按摩) and pressing people's feet in a special way to help them relax and feel well. I'd like to set it up somewhere in the countryside, where people could feel free from the stress of life.

Eating too much fat contributes to the risk of stroke (中风) and other heart diseases.However, it's the type of fat, not the amount, that appears to be more important when it comes to stroke.Eating plant-based fats lowers stroke risk, according to a study presentation given at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2021.
The study, which hasn't yet been proved by other researchers, found people who ate the most vegetable-based fats were 12% less likely to experience a stroke compared to those who ate the least.On the other hand, people who ate the highest levels of animal-based saturated (饱和) fat were 16% more likely to experience a stroke than those who ate the least fat of that kind.The findings show the type of fat and different food sources of fat are more important than the total amount of fat in preventing certain diseases including stroke.
You need fat to survive.Fats help your body absorb vitamins from foods, build cells, give you energy and keep you warm.But it's the unsaturated fats that come from vegetables, nuts and fatty fish that can lower your cholesterol (胆固醇) level and help keep you healthy.Saturated fats are generally not as healthy.They mainly come from red and processed meats.
“A proper reduction in red and processed meat consumption within a healthy eating pattern can reduce total death by 13%, heart disease death by 14%, cancer death by 11% and type 2 diabetes risk by 24%，” said Dr Frank Hu, one of the authors of the stroke study.
Interestingly, dairy fat was not associated with a higher risk of stroke, the study found.There has been an ongoing debate among researchers as to the role of dairy.The diet guidelines for Americans call for three servings of low- and no-fat dairy each day.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项研究发现，摄入脂肪的种类，而不是数量，对于罹患中风有重要的影响。
√
5．What can we learn from the passage
A．The more fat you take in, the easier you'll have a stroke.
B．Eating animal-based fats lowers the risk of stroke.
C．The study has been recognized by most researchers.
D．Different food sources of fat have an effect on stroke prevention.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, it's the type of fat, not the amount, that appears to be more important when it comes to stroke.”及第二段中的“The findings show the type of fat and different food sources of fat are more important than the total amount of fat in preventing certain diseases including stroke.”可知，不同的脂肪食物来源对预防中风有效果。
6．How does paragraph 2 mainly develop
A．By making comparisons.
B．By analyzing causes and effects.
C．By providing examples.
D．By following the order of time.
解析：写作手法题。根据第二段中的“...compared to those who ate the least.On the other hand, people who ...than those who ...”可知，本段是通过作比较展开的。

C
The Guilford County Department of Public Health is hosting two rabies (狂犬病) clinics this month in honor of World Rabies Day on Sept.28.The rabies vaccination (接种疫苗) will cost $5 per shot and will protect your pet for one calendar year.Dogs mustn't get loose and cats must be kept in cages.
The State of North Carolina requires dogs and cats to be vaccinated.The health department recommends that other animals that have regular contact with humans, such as horses, should be vaccinated as well.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the rabies virus causes approximately 55,000 human deaths worldwide each year, with most of the deaths occurring in children under 15.
The rabies virus is transmitted through the bite of an infected animal.When an animal has rabies (or is rabid), the virus circulates throughout its body and is transmitted to other animals or humans through its saliva.The most commonly infected animals are raccoons (浣熊), bats, skunks, and foxes.
The best ways to keep your pet from becoming rabid are to keep it tied when in public, as unchained pets are easily exposed to wild animals.Feed your pet indoors if possible.Wild animals will break into your basement, outbuildings, or garage to seek food, so be sure the storage location you select for your pet food is secure.Moreover, do not try to touch, feed, or rescue wild animals.Do not pick up dead animals as the virus could still be present.
This year in Guilford County, the majority of the animal rabies cases have involved raccoons, with foxes in a very close second place.Guilford County has recorded fifteen cases of animal rabies thus far this year.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过吉尔福德县公共卫生部将开办两家狂犬病诊所作为切入点，讲述了给动物接种疫苗的必要性和防止宠物感染狂犬病毒的方法。
√
9．Which of the following is required to have a pet vaccinated for rabies in Guilford County
A．Food for pets. B．A cage for dogs.
C．Fee of five dollars. D．A permit for pets.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The rabies vaccination will cost $5 per shot and will protect your pet for one calendar year.”可知，在吉尔福德县给宠物注射狂犬疫苗需要付5美元。
√
10．What does the underlined word “circulates” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Spreads. B．Cycles.
C．Moves. D．Passes.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可推测出，病毒传播到体内之后，会在身体内循环，然后通过唾液传播。由此可知，画线词circulate意为“循环”，与cycle同义。
√
11．Which of the following animals would most likely be a carrier of rabies
A．A raccoon. B．A shark.
C．A squirrel. D．A fox.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The most commonly infected animals are raccoons, bats, skunks, and foxes.”和最后一段中的“This year in Guilford County, the majority of the animal rabies cases have involved raccoons, with foxes in a very close second place.”可推知，浣熊最有可能是狂犬病携带者。
12．Which is a good recommendation for people to keep their animals free from rabies
A．Feed your cat in the kitchen.
B．Allow your pets to go outdoors alone.
C．Let your dog run free at the local pavement.
D．Store your dog food in a container without lid.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Feed your pet indoors if possible.”可知，在提到预防宠物患狂犬病的方法时，作者建议在室内喂养宠物。由此推知，在厨房喂猫是可取的。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, has been around for thousands of years and integrates Taoism (a nature-based philosophy) with elements of Buddhism and Confucianism.Centered around the core belief is that qi is the essential energy that flows through our bodies and powers all human life. 13 .
The first suggests that everything about a person is interrelated. 14 . And they affect one another because of this interconnection.
The second assumes that every person is part of the natural world, and in so being, is affected by everything from the time, the place, the season, to one's age, genetic disposition (组成), and physical condition.
The third states that, like all things in nature, we are regenerative (再生的) and have the inborn ability to heal our bodies. 15 .
The fourth is that prevention is the key to staying well. 16 . Do not ignore the warning signs.In this way, you can prevent a more serious condition from developing.
17 . They include herbal medicines and diet, foot reflexology (反射论) massage, tai chi, acupuncture, and acupressure (针压法) — to name a few of the more well-known ones.These methods are used to promote the unrestricted flow of qi throughout the body, which is said to promote health.They are also used to balance the opposing forces of yin and yang, believed by Taoists to be found in all things.
A．TCM is based on four key principles
B．The connections are unnatural enough
C．Taking physical examination regularly does not work
D．Listen to our bodies and make adjustments when necessary
E．One's physical body, emotions, mind, and spirit are all interconnected
F．Unlocking this ability is the key to regaining and maintaining good health
G．To achieve and maintain good health, TCM employs a number of methods
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统医学(或称中医)的四大原则，以及为了达到和保持良好的健康，中医采用的一些方法。
13．选A　根据下文中的“The fourth is that prevention is the key to staying well.”以及每一段首句可知，接下来介绍的是中医的四个原则。故A项“中医基于四个关键原则”符合语境，其中的“four key principles”起到引出下文的作用。
14．选E　本段介绍的是身体内部存在联系，因为这种联系，人的身体各部位相互影响。故E项“一个人的身体、情感、思想和精神都是相互联系的”承上启下，符合语境。
15．选F　根据上文“The third states that, like all things in nature, we are regenerative and have the inborn ability to heal our bodies.”可知，F项“释放这种能力是恢复和保持良好健康的关键”承接上文，符合语境。
16．选D　根据上文“The fourth is that prevention is the key to staying well.”可知，本段的主旨是预防，不要忽视身体的预警。故D项“倾听我们身体的声音，必要时做出调整”符合语境。
17．选G　空处为段落主旨句。下文主要介绍了中医采用的来保持健康的各种方法。故G项“为了达到和保持身体健康，中医采用了许多方法”衔接下文，符合语境。UNIT 3　课时检测(五)　“Extended reading”的课文习读环节

Eating too much fat contributes to the risk of stroke (中风) and other heart diseases.However, it's the type of fat, not the amount, that appears to be more important when it comes to stroke.Eating plant based fats lowers stroke risk, according to a study presentation given at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2021.
The study, which hasn't yet been proved by other researchers, found people who ate the most vegetable based fats were 12% less likely to experience a stroke compared to those who ate the least.On the other hand, people who ate the highest levels of animal based saturated (饱和) fat were 16% more likely to experience a stroke than those who ate the least fat of that kind.The findings show the type of fat and different food sources of fat are more important than the total amount of fat in preventing certain diseases including stroke.
You need fat to survive.Fats help your body absorb vitamins from foods, build cells, give you energy and keep you warm.But it's the unsaturated fats that come from vegetables, nuts and fatty fish that can lower your cholesterol (胆固醇) level and help keep you healthy.Saturated fats are generally not as healthy.They mainly come from red and processed meats.
“A proper reduction in red and processed meat consumption within a healthy eating pattern can reduce total death by 13%, heart disease death by 14%, cancer death by 11% and type 2 diabetes risk by 24%，” said Dr Frank Hu, one of the authors of the stroke study.
Interestingly, dairy fat was not associated with a higher risk of stroke, the study found.There has been an ongoing debate among researchers as to the role of dairy.The diet guidelines for Americans call for three servings of low and no fat dairy each day.

The Guilford County Department of Public Health is hosting two rabies (狂犬病) clinics this month in honor of World Rabies Day on Sept.28.The rabies vaccination (接种疫苗) will cost D|S5 per shot and will protect your pet for one calendar year.Dogs mustn't get loose and cats must be kept in cages.
The State of North Carolina requires dogs and cats to be vaccinated.The health department recommends that other animals that have regular contact with humans, such as horses, should be vaccinated as well.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the rabies virus causes approximately 55,000 human deaths worldwide each year, with most of the deaths occurring in children under 15.
The rabies virus is transmitted through the bite of an infected animal.When an animal has rabies (or is rabid), the virus circulates throughout its body and is transmitted to other animals or humans through its saliva.The most commonly infected animals are raccoons (浣熊), bats, skunks, and foxes.
The best ways to keep your pet from becoming rabid are to keep it tied when in public, as unchained pets are easily exposed to wild animals.Feed your pet indoors if possible.Wild animals will break into your basement, outbuildings, or garage to seek food, so be sure the storage location you select for your pet food is secure.Moreover, do not try to touch, feed, or rescue wild animals.Do not pick up dead animals as the virus could still be present.
This year in Guilford County, the majority of the animal rabies cases have involved raccoons, with foxes in a very close second place.Guilford County has recorded fifteen cases of animal rabies thus far this year.
9．Which of the following is required to have a pet vaccinated for rabies in Guilford County

C．A squirrel. D．A fox.
12．Which is a good recommendation for people to keep their animals free from rabies
A．Feed your cat in the kitchen.
B．Allow your pets to go outdoors alone.
C．Let your dog run free at the local pavement.
D．Store your dog food in a container without lid.
