Doctors are navigating the patients that have kept them on our screens for some 400 episodes of the show. But in this episode, for the first time, the (51)____ to the drama is the very real issue of climate change. It’s a relatively rare example of the many kinds of climate-related storylines that are typically (52)____ from fictional TV and film worlds. Social scientists argue that climate is a topic that ____53 in many kinds of on-screen stories, not just the occasional climate-disaster thriller.(恐怖片)
But can ____54 the realities of climate change affecting characters on the screen help us identify differently with the unfolding climate crisis – to cope better, or even change our behavior
Good Energy, a non-profit storytelling consultancy, believes it can. It is among a small but growing number of organizations ____55 to far more TV and film scripts to feature climate-related storylines. In April 2022, it released its Good Energy Playbook, a set of ____56 to weaving climate change into any on-screen story. It joins other initiatives in drawing attention to the need for film and TV to ____57 the numerous ways that climate change leaves its mark on our everyday lives.
The Good Energy Playbook’s suggestions are appropriately ____58: characters with climate anxiety and those fighting against injustice, utopian (乌托邦的) narratives that explore climate solutions; storylines that quietly ____59 climate elements into their characters’ worlds.
Many research studies looked at the ____60 that introducing climate stories had on viewers. They found it caused greater concerns about climate change. It also shifted people’s understanding of it and made them more likely to take action to reduce their emissions. ____61, science tells us that stories have a power that hard facts often don’t. Research has long established that the human brain finds it less ____62 to understand and remember information delivered as a narrative, and has even found that stories can influence behavior.
Climate stories, then, seem like a pretty good idea. But these sorts of narratives have been few and far between. Julie Doyle, professor of media at the University of Brighton in the UK, says climate change has ____63 for years to get into any form of fictional film or TV representation. “There’s been a silence around it,” she says.
It’s time to break the climate silence, says Doyle. “It would be great if mainstream media could lead this.” Day-to-day mentions of climate change in media are especially important because, while blockbuster climate films can have a positive impact on awareness and action, the effect is unfortunately ____64. People can feel inspired to take action in the moment, but the feeling ____65 in a matter of weeks.

(A)
The Story of an Hour
Knowing that Mrs. Mallard had a heart problem, her sister Josephine told her the news of her husband’s death, as gently as possible. Her husband’s friend Richards was there, too, who originally found Brently Mallard’s name leading the list of “killed” in a railroad disaster.
She did not hear the story like many women, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once in her sister’s arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself, she went away to her room alone.
There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.
She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all a quiver (颤动) with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her faintly, with countless sparrows twittering in the eaves (屋檐).
There was something coming to her. It was too subtle to name. But she felt it. “Free, free, free!” Her pulse beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.
She saw beyond that bitter moment long years ahead that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.
There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature.
“Free! Body and soul free!” she kept whispering.
“Louise, open the door! I beg, open the door—you will make yourself ill” Josephine requested.
“Go away. I am not making myself ill.” No; she was drinking in the very elixir of life (长生不老药) through that open window.
She opened the door to her sister repeated requests. There was a feverish triumph in her eyes, and she seemed like a goddess of Victory. Together they walked down the stairs. Richards stood waiting for them at the bottom.
Someone was opening the front door with a key. It was Brently Mallard who entered, carrying his suitcase and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one. He stood amazed at Josephine’s harsh cry; at Richards’ quick motion to keep him out of his wife’s sight.
But Richards was too late.
When the doctors came, they said she had died of heart disease—of joy that kills.
66. Why does the writer describe the scenery outside the open window in paragraph 4
A. To imply the return of Mr. Mallard. B. To show the beginning of spring outside.
C. To represent the end of Mrs. Mallard’s life. D. To symbolize the freedom Mrs. Mallard feels.
67. According to the story, how did Mrs. Mallard view her future after hearing the news
A. She felt lost for the uncertainty of life.
B. She looked forward to her future life.
C. She felt life would be filled with loneliness and despair.
D. She felt she would be unable to cope with problems in life.
68. What was the true cause of Mrs. Mallard’s death
A. The joy of being free.
B. The sudden loss of hope for freedom.
C. The happiness of seeing her husband alive.
D. The grief of knowing her husband die in a disaster.
69. What is the tone of the story
A. Hopeful and joyful. B. Tense and uncertain.
C. Ironic and unexpected. D. Gloomy and sorrowful.
(B)
How We Get Vitamin D
Vitamin D helps our bodies absorb calcium for stronger bones. We get it from two slightly different molecules (分子). One is D3, made when sunlight hits our skin cells. The other is D2, which comes from fungi and yeast. Some foods may be fortified (强化) with D2. To become active, both molecules go through several conversions in the body.
SUNSHINE AND SKIN
People, like plants, transform solar energy into essential molecules. When UVB rays enter certain skin cells, compounds from those cells are transformed into D3.
FOOD AND SUPPLEMENTS
Very few foods naturally contain high amounts of vitamin D. Fatty fish such as salmon and tuna do, as does cod liver oil. Supplements can contain a mix of D3 and D2 forms; the D3 compound is commonly derived from irradiated sheep’s wool grease, which is also the source of the vitamin D in fortified milk.
VITAMIN D AS A GENE SWITCH The 1,25D molecules reach cells in many organs and tissues. They function as “on” switches for genes. The activated genes pass instructions for making proteins to mRNA molecules. The mRNA goes to the cells’ ribosomes, which put together the proteins.
70. How many kinds of molecule related to the whole process of Vitamin D absorption are mentioned in this passage
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
71. Xiao Ming is found to suffer from rickets, which is caused by low level of Vitamin D. Which of the following ways can help him
A. Having more plants in the house.
B. Applying wool grease to the skin.
C. Eliminating fatty fish from the diet.
D. Turning to drinking fortified milk.
72. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE
A. D2 and D3 are converted into 25D in the liver.
B. D2 is made when UVB rays enter certain skin cells.
C. All kinds of vitamin D can only be stored for several days in the body.
D. The 25D molecules function as “on” switches for genes.
(C)
Gothic fiction is a genre of literature featuring the elements of fear, horror, and the supernatural. There are often characters such as vampires (吸血鬼) and evil mon subject matter includes family curses (诅咒), mystery and madness. Gothic fiction is the forerunner of the modern horror genre, although the original genre has continued to have a faithful following.
Originating in the late 18th century, this type of fiction was a branch of the larger Romantic movement that sought to stimulate strong emotions in the reader. The genre is so called because it tends to use medieval (中世纪的) architecture as its settings, reminding people of the terrifying darkness time of the Middle Age. Gothic fictions place heavy emphasis on atmosphere, building suspense and a sense of unease in the reader.
Although the novel is often considered the best example of this genre, some poetry and short stories can also be characterized as Gothic, such as those written by the Graveyard Poets of late 18th century England and the short stories of Edgar Allen Poe. These works of literature have influenced Gothic writers ever since they were published.
Gothic fiction often deals with past eras. In its early days, the genre took the medieval period as a major inspiration. Modern examples of this type of fiction have continued the tendency to look to past eras. They often use such settings as colonial (殖民时期的) America, Victorian England or the pre-Civil War southern United States. Those set in the present day might take place in a 19-century building, much in the way that early works commonly used medieval castles as their settings.
Gothic novels were among the most popular fiction of the late 18th century. Famous examples include Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto and Anne Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho. Although it was less popular during the Victorian era, Gothic fiction was once again among the most-read literature of the late 20th century. The vampire, one of the favorite stock characters of this genre, appeared in several important works of this era, including Sheridan LeFanu’s Carmilla and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Writers such as William Faulkner, Harper Lee and Tennessee Williams applied the style to their treatment of the American South. But the influence of Gothic fiction can not only be noted in literature but also in film and music. For example, many of Alfred Hitchcock’s films, as well as the books on which they were based, could be considered Gothic.
73. According to the article, Gothic fiction came into existence ______.
A. in the Middle Age.
B. in the early eighteenth century.
C. in the era of Romantic movement.
D. in the Victorian era and the 20th century.
74. Which of following statement about the Gothic genre is TRUE
A. The Gothic genre paved the way for modern horror genre.
B. The Gothic genre overtook Romantic literary works.
C. The Gothic writing style influenced the medieval architecture.
D. Vampire was the most frequent character in Hitchcock’s film.
75. Which of the following can we infer from the passage
A. Edgar Allen Poe was a famous Gothic novelist.
B. All Gothic novels are set in the medieval period.
C. The Middle Ages was known for its terrifying darkness.
D. Carmilla is a popular Gothic novel in the 18th century.
76. Which of the following is most likely to be taken from a Gothic novel
A. Philip woke early next morning. His sleep had been restless, but when he looked at the sunshine that slid through the blinds, making patterns on the floor, he sighed with satisfaction.
B. Miss Manette had taken some refreshment on the road, and required none then, and was extremely anxious to see the gentleman from Tellson’s immediately.
C. I fancied myself now like one of the ancient giants, which were said to live in caves, where none could come at them; for I persuaded myself while I was here, if five hundred savages were to hunt me, they could never find me out.
D. In the silence of the night, how we tremble with fright at the melancholy threat of their tone! For every sound that floats, from the rust within their throats, is a groan.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. One is to confuse them with double discounting.
B. The main reason is that most people are useless at fractions(分数).
C. Marketing types can draw lessons beyond just pricing, says Mr. Rao.
D. So retailers often take advantage of shoppers’ preference for discounting.
E. They even control some irrelevant factors to make the studies more convincing.
F. The discount is by far the better, but the supposedly clever students viewed them as equivalent.
The Psychology of Discounting
When retailers want to persuade customers to buy a particular product. They typically offer it at a discount. According to a new study to be published in the Journal of Marketing, they are missing a trick.
A team of researchers, led by Akshay Rao of the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management looked at consumers’ attitudes to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much prefer getting something extra free to getting something cheaper. ____77____
Consumers often struggle to realize, for example, that a 20% increase in quantity is the same as a 33% discount in price. They overwhelmingly assume the former is better value. In an experiment, the researchers sold 73% more hand lotion when it was offered in a bonus pack than when it carried an equivalent discount.
This commercial blind spot remains even when the deal clearly favors the discounted product. In another experiment, this time on his undergraduates, Mr. Rao offered two deals on loose coffee beans: 33% extra free or 33% off the price. ____78____
Studies have shown other ways in which retailers can exploit consumers’ mathematical illiteracy. ____79____ People are more likely to see a bargain in a product that has been reduced by 20%, and then by an additional 25% than one which has been subject to an equivalent, one-off, 40% reduction.
____80____ When advertising a new car’s efficiency, for example, it is more convincing to talk about the number of extra miles per gallon it regulates rather than the equivalent percentage fall in fuel consumption. There may be lessons for regulators, too. Even well-educated shoppers are easily foxed. Sending everyone back to school for maths refresher-courses seems out of the question. But more noticeably displayed unit prices in shops and advertisements would be a great help.
IV. Summary Writing
81. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Optimism and Longevity
People with an optimistic mindset are associated with various positive health indicators, particularly in the heart, metabolism, and the immune system. Optimism and pessimism can be scientifically measured, placing an individual’s attitude on a scale ranging from optimistic to pessimistic. Researchers are able to clarify the link between optimism level and relative health conditions.
In 2019, a review published in JAMA Network Open by Alan Rozanski, a cardiologist at Mount Sinai Morningside hospital in New York City, compared the results of 15 different studies for a total of 229,391 participants. Rozanski’s meta-analysis showed that individuals with higher levels of optimism experience a 35 percent lower risk of cardiovascular (心血管) events compared to those with lower optimism, as well as a lower death rate.
The most optimistic people tend to take better care of themselves, especially by eating healthily, exercising, and not smoking; these behaviours have been found to a much lesser extent in the most pessimistic people, who tend to care less for their own well-being. The damage produced by pessimism is also biological: The continuous wear and tear caused by elevated stress hormones leads to heightened levels of body infection and the onset of disease.
In 2012, Elizabeth Blackburn and Elissa Epel at the University of California at San Francisco, in collaboration with other institutions, identified a correlation between pessimism and accelerated telomere (染色体端粒) shortening in a group of women. A pessimistic attitude, they found, was associated with shorter telomeres. In fact, optimism slows down telomere shortening, a significant indicator of the aging of cells.
__________Optimism is thought to be genetically determined for only 25 percent of the population. For the rest, it’s the result of our social relationships or deliberate efforts to learn more positive thinking. In an interview, Rozanski explained that “our way of thinking is habitual, unaware, so the first step is to learn to control ourselves when negative thoughts assail us and commit ourselves to change the way we look at things.” Optimism, like a muscle, can be trained to become stronger through positivity and gratitude, in order to replace an irrational negative thought with a positive and more reasonable one.
