Note that there is one word more than you need.If Food is indeed medicine, then it's time to treat it that way. In his upcoming book, Eat to Beat Diseases, Dr William Li, a heart expert, pulls together years of stored data and processes specific doses（剂量）of food that can treat diseases (31) from a mild cold to cancer. Not all doctors agree that the science supports (32) food like drugs, but he is hoping the idea will motivate more researchers to study food in ways as (33) strict as possible and generate stronger data in coming years. "We are far away from prescribing（开处方）diets to fight diseases," he says. "And we may never get there. But we are looking to fill in the (34) that have long existed in this field with real science. This is the beginning of a better tomorrow."And talking about food in terms of doses might push more doctors to focus on patients' grocery lists instead. So far, several hundred people who rely on the Fresh Food Program have had their risk of serious diabetes（糖尿病）complications (35) by 40% and hospitalizations cut by 70% compared with other diabetic people in the area who lack (36) to the program. This year, on the basis of its success so far, the Fresh Food Program is doubling the number of patients it (37) .Shicowich knows firsthand how important that will be for people like him. When he was first (38) , he lost weight and controlled his blood sugar, but he found those changes hard to maintain and soon saw his weight (39) and his blood-sugar levels skyrocket. He has become one of the program's better-known success stories, and now works part time in the produce section of a supermarket and cooks nearly all his meals. He's (40)his cooking skills to include fish, which he had never tried preparing before. "I know what healthy food looks like, and I know what to do with it now," he says. "Without this program and without the support system, I will probably still be sitting on a couch with a box of biscuits." 【答案】31-40 JBDHA GCEKI【解析】41.考查现在分词。

Note that there is one word more than you need.Dear Colleagues,It is good to join you. Let me begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to His Majesty King Salman and Saudi Arabia for having done tremendous work of communication and coordination to make this summit possible.Facing the COVID-19 outbreak that caught us all by 31________, the Chinese government and Chinese people have been undaunted as we took on this formidable task. From day one of our fight against the outbreak, we have put people's life and health first. We have acted according to the overall 32________ of shoring up confidence, strengthening unity, ensuring science-based control and treatment and imposing targeted measures. We have 33________ the whole nation, set up collective control and treatment mechanisms and acted with openness and transparency. Whatwe fought was a people's war against the outbreak. We have put up a strenuous struggle and made tremendous sacrifices. Now the situation in China is moving steadily in a positive direction. Life and work are quickly returning to normal. Yet, there is no way we will lower our guard or relax control.At the most difficult moment in our fight against the outbreak, China received assistance and help from a lot of members of the global 34________. Such expressions of friendship will always be remembered and cherished by the Chinese people.Major infectious disease is the enemy of all. As we speak, the COVID-19 outbreak is spreading worldwide, 35________ enormous threat to life and health and bringing formidable challenge to global public health security. The situation is disturbing and 36________. At such a moment, it is imperative for the international community to strengthen confidence, act with unity and work together in a collective response. We must 37________ step up international cooperation and foster greater synergy so that humanity as one could win the battle against such a major infectious disease.For that to happen, I would like to put forth four proposals.First, we need to be 38________ in fighting an all-out global war against the COVID-19 outbreak. The community of nations must move swiftly to stem the spread of the virus. In this regard, I propose that a G20 health ministers' meeting be convened as quick as possible to improve information sharing, strengthen cooperation on drugs, vaccines and epidemic control, and cut off cross-border infections. G20 members need to jointly help developing countries with weak public health systems enhance preparedness and response. I propose a G20 COVID-19 assistance 39________ for better information sharing and policy and action coordination with the support of the World Health Organization. Guided by the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind, China will be more than ready to share our good practices, conduct joint research and development of drugs and vaccines, and provide assistance where we can to countries 40________ by the growing outbreak.(excerpt)词汇：31-35AD ABC CD C AC 36-40 BC B A BD D上海市延安中学2020-2021学年高三上学期英语期中测试卷Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.If you think about it, work-life balance is a strange aspiration for fulfilling life. Balance is about stasis(静止): if our lives were ever in balance----parents happy, kids taken care of, workworking then our thought would be to shout "Nobody move!" and pray all would stay perfect forever. This (31) _______ hope is made worse by the implication that work is bad, and life is good; we lose ourselves in work but find ourselves in life; we survive work, but live life. And so the challenge, we are told, is to balance the heaviness of work with the lightness of life.Yet work is not the (32)_______of life. It is instead a part of life just as family is, as are friends and hobbies. All of these aspects of living have their share of wonderful, uplifting moments and their share of (33)______ moments that drag us down. The same is true of work, yet when we think of it as something bad in need of a counterweight, we lose sight of the (34)________ for better.It seems more useful, then, to not try to balance the unbalanceable, but to treat work the same way you do life: (35)_____ what you love. Think of your life's many different activities as threads. Some are black, some are grey and some are white. But some of these activities contain all the signs of love : before you do them, you find yourselves looking forward to them; while you're doing them, time speeds up and you find yourself involved ; and after you've done them, you feel (36)________.These are your red threads, and our research reveals that 73% of us claim that we have the freedom to modify our job to fit our strengths better, but that only 18% of us do so. Your (37)________, then, is to use your red threads to (38)________ change, over time, the content of your job, so that it contains more things that you love doing and fewer that you’re aching(渴望) to (39)_______.The most helpful categories for us are not “work” and "life". We should not s truggle to balance the two. Instead, the best categories are “love” and loathe(憎恨)”. Our goal should be to, little by little, week by week, intentionally (40)_______ all aspects of our work toward the former and away from the latter. Not simply to make us feel better, but so that our colleagues, our friends and our family can all benefit from us at our very best. We can't always do only what we love. But we can always find the love in what we do.31-40 JEBAI KDJHF上海市闵行区七宝中学2020-2021学年高三英语上学期10月月考试卷Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the passage with the words in the box.

However, not all of the present generation of schoolchildren may be able to look back on their sporting experiences with such fondness. There are growing fears, within independent schools in particular, that moves towards professional standards and a focus on winning may disagree with the ___32___ of school sports.The problem is, perhaps unsurprisingly, more prevalent in boys' sport, and especially so in rugby, where independent schools still provide the bulk of future England internationals. At the same time, there has been a surge in the number of schools offering scholarships to ___33___rugby players, driven by a desire to widen access, but also, on occasion, by a(n) ___34___that success on the playing field may be a potential marketing tool. One director of rugby at a top-performing school in the South-East reports that his star under-16 player was poached(挖走)by a rival school which offered him a full scholarship. ‘We weren’t prepared to enter into a bidding war over a 15-year-old kid,’ he says rather pitifully.Chris Morgan, director of sport at Tonbridge, is a critic of these shifts towards becoming superstar sports schools, 'An increasing number of schools seem to be using sports scholarships as part of their business model,’ he says. ‘They place rugby above other sports as it seems to be more___35___in parents’ decision-making over which school they want to send their childr en to.’As a result, some of Morgan's counterparts at other independent schools feel under pressure to focus on winning rather than___36___ enjoyment. ‘If everything you put on your website is about which teams won, it is easy to see how coaches, boys and parents can think that results are the most important barometer of success.’Several coaches feel that their efforts to ___37___players’ enjoyment over results are at risk of being undermined by the temptation to see sport as an extension of academic league tables.One director of rugby told me that whenever they lose a game, his headmaster calls a meeting on the Monday morning in which he demands an explanation for the defeat. ‘The head can't understand that sport isn't just about winning,’ he says.So, with increasingly professional set-ups and a seeming ___38___with winning at all costs, has school sport lost its innocence?Certainly not, says Kevin Knibbs, Headmaster of Hampton School in South West London, and Chair of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference(HMC)Sports Sub-Committee ‘Independent schools understand that sport is hugely beneficial to young people. While there have been substantial improvements in the standard of sports facilities, coaching, and performance in independent schools over the past decade, this is___39___ with, an emphasis on safety, wellbeing and general fitness. Together these things have had a(n) ___40___positive impact on young people’s experiences of sport in HMC schools, ' he says. 'Pupils are free to enjoy playing a wide range of sports with their friends without facing undue pressure to wip or needing to follow an over-intensive training regime, Knibbs continue.【答案】31-40 .

(41) ____, these huge collars are purposefully loose so that if one becomes annoying, a bear can (42)____it. But scientists have now found a way to use signals from the discarded(丢弃的）devices.“These dropped collars(43)____would have been considered garbage data,” says Natasha Klappstein, a polar bear researcher at the University of Alberta. She and her colleagues instead used(44)____from such collars, left on sea ice in Canada's Hudson Bay, to track the ice itself. For their study, published in June in The Cryosphere, the researchers (45)____twenty collars that sent movement data consistent（与······一致的）with ice drift rather than polar bear (46)____between 2005 and 2015. The resulting records of how melting ice typically drifts in Hudson Bay are unique; there are no easily (47)____on-the-ground sensors, and satellite observations often cannot (48)___capture the motion of small ice sheets.The team compared the discarded collars' movements with widely used ice-drift modeling data from the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). Collar data indicated that the NSIDC model underestimates the speed at which ice moves around in Hudson Bay--as well as the overall (49)___of drift. Over the course of several months the model could drift away from an ice sheet's location by a few hundred kilometers, the researchers say.This means the bears may be working harder, when moving against the direction of the ice, than scientists had (50) ___:“Since we're underestimating the speed of drift, we're likely underestimating the energetic effort of polar bears," says Natasha Klappstein. The research reveals(51)___insight (洞悉) into how highly mobile ice moves. As melting increases in coming years, such ice will likely become more(52)___farther north, in the central Arctic. Scientists had known NSIDC data could underestimate drift speeds, but “any time we can find a data (53)___,it is a good thing.”Plus,such data could improve predictions about how oil spills or other pollutants may spread in seas (54)___ with drifting ice, says Walt Meier, a senior NSIDC research scientist,who was not involved in the study.

概要写作专题上海市闵行区2021届高三上学期质量调研考试（一模）英语试卷IV. Summary WritingDirections: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.Perhaps you’ve heard the old saying “curiosity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s often used to warn people, especially children, not to ask too many questions. Yet it’s widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective. In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school.Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveriesand open up new possibilities. In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits. For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil (线圈) and a magnet (磁铁) when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. The discovery changed the world.However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology. On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore.In addition to this, there’s the fact that we all now connect so deeply with te chnology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides up with. Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them.The final—and perhaps most worrying—way in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our news via social media, algorithms find out what we like and push more of the same back to us. That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas. Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.IV.

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.If you're like most of the world, you make time for following friends on social media. That is not a bad thing at all. Positive posting and communication can help improve your confidence andsense of connection to others. It can be surprisingly easy, though, to unconsciously slip into less healthful behavior on social media, and that can lead to anxiety and depression. New research has identified which habits can lead to troubles.Do you feel jealous every time you read on social media about your cousin's beautiful new home or your boss' exciting European vacation? "Surveillance"（监视）of those you know in orderto get an inside look of their material success is a potentially destructive behavior, according to researchers at the University of Missouri. Measuring material or lifestyle achievements of someone you know can lead to negative feelings, and can easily lead you to create tension in a relationship where there was none.A second study by the University of Missouri found that people who post often - about anything and everything they are doing - experience more troubles in their marriages and romantic relationships than those who don't post about their lives in detail. Another study by researchers at Boston University also found that heavy social media users are 32% more likely to think about leaving their husbands or wives.This is most likely because over-sharing your life with others by direct messaging and posting images can create relationship conflict. Not only are you potentially developing bondswith new people, but also that bonding may deepen and affect your own relationship, according to the study of a doctoral student, Russell Clayton.概要写作It’s normal to follow others on social media. Positive behaviors on it help improve your confidence and sense of connection to others while inappropriate behaviors may make you feel anxious and depressed. Reading too m uch of others’ material success may cause negative feelings, and over-sharing your life with others may also create relationship conflicts.（55 words）上海市青浦区2021届高三英语上学期期末质量检测英语试卷IV.

However, despite its 92-year history, the awards show has come under fire in recent years for not recognizing enough multicultural performers and directors.In response to this lack of representation, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the group that oversees the Oscars, has announced new diversity (多样性) requirements for future films to be submitted to the Best Picture category in 2024.They require nominees(提名者) to meet at least two out of four sets of standards, aiming to increase inclusion for underrepresented groups — people of color, women and people with disabilities —both on and off-screen. These standards include a minimum requirement for underrepresented groups at the executive level.Four years ago, OscarsSoWhite quickly drew attention, highlighting the absence of minority representation among previous nominees. It also pointed out that the voting committee has been largely white and male for decades, noted The New York Times.Ever since, the Academy has looked to increase its diversity by promising to double female and minority members in 2016. For example, the South-Korean film Parasite (《寄生虫》), which features an all-Asian cast, won four Oscars at the 2020 Academy Awards.However, the latest move has its doubters. Some have said that the awards body should be focusing on awarding what they consider to be the best film, rather than limiting what can be nominated, noted Forbes. Richard Grenell, the current US ambassador to Germany, also criticized the move, saying tha t “It’s no longer the Best Picture, it’s the Most Politically Correct Picture.”Others, though, have praised the initiative. Culture critic Sonny Bunch wrote that, “The academy is finally — finally! — doing something to ensure that underrepresented groups have a shot.”Arguably, The New York Times said it best. While it noted that the requirements were “easy for most studios to satisfy”, the initiative will show voters the extent to which diversity standards were met.IV. Summary writingRecently Oscars have been blamed for not representing enough minorities, like people of color. To make up for the lack of diversity, the governing body of Oscars has issued new criteria intending to include more underrepresented people. Doubters argue Oscars shouldn't focus on political correctness but quality of films, while advocates think the initiative will give minorities more opportunities.(59 words)上海市普陀区2021届高三英语一模试卷IV.

It is annoying but true that you do not actually have absolute control over who might be watching you online. More than ever, government agencies have focused on fighting against illegal surveillance (监控) programs, raising concerns about protecting online privacy. Here are some suggestions for you to follow.Evaluating your online activities is the most crucial task towards protecting your online privacy. You need to assess what personal or private data you are storing or sharing on your computer/mobile devices or online platforms. It is important to identify the value of your information and analyze the risks such as: how safe is your data offline or online? What happens if your personal data gets leaked? These are some basic questions so that you can take necessary steps to solve your online privacy issues.Everything you do comes out once you go online. Your data is being misused by some advertisers and online marketers. Some illegal programs make your system threatened, invade your privacy and steal your confidential information. So, installing genuine and latest anti-virus software is critically important to protect your devices from such threats. That is to use original or latest anti-virus software, browsers, etc. Also, stay up-to-date with the current tools, methods and technology. You can reduce the risks by becoming more educated on the leading tools, and methods available in the digital world. You should learn and follow the security rules and pay attention to the information you share on social networking sites.To prevent unauthorized access to your system, you should choose a strong password string that will never be easy for hackers to get. That is to enforce a strong password. And do not use oneothers. Tony, a security software maker, suggests that consumers should use different email addresses for different purposes so that hackers cannot match an email stolen from a website to one from a bank.Summary WritingThere are several ways for people to protect online privacy. First, evaluate online activities to make sure the online information is secure. Second, it’s better to use original antivirus software and browsers and keep up with the latest technology. Third, use a sufficiently secure password, and use different passwords and different email addresses for different purposes. (56 words)上海市虹口区2021届高三英语上学期期终考试英语试卷IV.

Use your own words as far as possible.71.Want to be a Smart Gift Giver?During all kinds of holidays, millions of people will buy gifts for loved ones, which is great except that tons of those people will make the same glaring mistake, and buy the wrong gifts. What’s going on?Gift buying has become a deceivingly selfish pursuit. We don’t actually look for things people want to receive. Instead, we tend to look for things that we want to give. It’s a subtle, but pretty significant problem.Research has shown that givers tend to value the gifts they buy considerably more than receivers. Gifts are valued roughly 10 to 33 percent less by receivers than what givers paid for them. Joel Waldfogel noted this in Scroogenomics: Why You Shouldn’t Buy Presents for the Holidays, his 2009 book on gift-giving.The difference seems to come from a simple misplaced belief that thoughtful presents are the best presents. They are not. In fact, they might just be the worst presents. The more thought you put into a present, the more likely you are to stray from buying what the person you are buying the presents for actually wants.In other words, people let their gift-giving egos(自我) get in the way of great presents, especially when the receiver is someone they want to show they know really well. Fortunately, the answer to our collective insistence on guessing what people want is simple: stop it.If that’s too impersonal, there’s another helpful rule of thumb(经验之谈). Instead of buying restrictive gifts, like gift cards for specific stores, buy gifts that allow for flexibility, like gift cards that can be used more broadly (or, better yet, cash). People tend to prefer gift cards to actual gifts, and cash to both, Steffel explained. Steffel’s latest research, which focuses on gift card giving, points to exactly this point -- that versatility (用途广泛) is the key to better gift giving.概要写作：Although many people buy gifts during holidays, some may choose the wrong gifts. They buy what they want to give instead of what recipients prefer. As research shows, recipients value / appreciate gifts far less than givers. Actually, thoughtful presents turn out the worst ones. Therefore, stopping buying gifts or picking flexible ones, preferably cash, may work.

I'm sure (if you were anything like my younger self) that you used to collect mechanical pencils.In one of the math preparatory classes I (21)________(go) to in elementary and middle school, we used to receive-mechanical pencils as prizes for doing well on the in-class exams or answering questions in class. This was (22)________ I built up my collection of Cadoozles, which are short mechanical pencils decorated with brightly colored spaceships and ice cream bars. But I've long since used up all my Cadoozles and a majority of the mechanical pencils that I (23) ________(hide) in an empty moon-cake tin so many years before, which makes me reflect fondly back on those old days, when receiving a mechanical pencil was as easy as drinking a glass of water.Mechanical pencils are not only more convenient than your traditional Ticonderoga in the sense that they never need (24) ________ (sharpen); they also produce thinner, cleaner lines, which is extremely important for drawers and drafters. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly, since you don't have to buy (25)________ wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead(铅芯). You can simply refill your mechanical pencil. There is only one slight negative I must remark on, (26)________ is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils "lead pencil" in casual conversation, the term "lead pencil" is confusing. Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead. It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which (27)________ not give you lead poisoning. This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom: "John,stop that! You're going to get lead poisoning!" I think all the third-graders (and teachers) in the world would feel much (28)________(safe) if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one, but (29)______ ______ the moon-cake tin has become increasingly lighter, I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more.

Studying geography offered people a way to learn about the world.Geography, (23)_______ (define) as the study of Earth, has always had a focus on maps. But mapping hasn’t always been easy. In the days before satellites, mapmaking required years of dangerous and difficult work. But mapping also meant a chance at adventure and fame.Geography became the subject of explorers. People were eager to hear about the new things and places (24) _______ geographers had studied. National Geographic is a great example of this interest.

Geography, which helps house hunters, solvespublic health issues, and determines good locations for new businesses, (29) _______ (use) to plan communities as well.Like traditional geographers, modern geographers study many different topics.

The highest point on Pikelot is only four meters above the sea. No people live there, and there is no water.

And, they say, they (21)_______ (overlook) too often in the classroom.Compared to reading, writing is (22) _______ (active). It helps students be independent thinkers, take ownership of their stories and ideas and communicate them clearly to others, says Elyse Eidman-Aadahl.

Writing, she said, should be “the central thing you’re learning. Not writing on a test, not writing to demonstra te you’re learning (27) _______ someone has taught you....”Teaching reading together with writing improves both skills, says Rebecca Wallace-Segall, who heads a New York City writing center, Writopia Lab.She said writing affects a person’s ability to re ad and more than 90 percent of young people in the Writopia program do not trust their writing abilities (28) _______ they start.

So, she added, “we have to help them do it in the best, most responsible, critical, prosocial way.”Rebecca argues that writing also helps students work through difficulties they face in life “subconsciously”.“They’re not writing a story about a difficult fath er or directly about a bully in class, (30) _______ creating a fictional scenario (电影剧本) that might feel distant enough for them to go deep into it.”答案21. are overlooked 22. more active 23. which 24. unless 25. focused26. instead of/rather than 27. what 28. when 29. interacting 30. but2021青浦一模Eating jellyfish could save endangered fishAccording to the IUCN Red List 32,000 species are threatened with extinction — everything from birds and mammals. Despite national and international efforts being gathered to protect threatened species, we actively fish for many of them. For those of us who enjoy the odd fish and chips, this isn't great news, (21)_____________ the researchers have come up with an unusual way we can help while still enjoying seafood—and it involves eating jellyfish.Between 2006 and 2014, 92 vulnerable or endangered species of seafood were being caught, recorded, and sold. When they are sold, it is rare that fish and invertebrate (无脊椎的) species (22)____________ (require) to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing (23)____________ they're eating.The research team stresses the fact (24)____________ this is only a brief view of the real problem. "A lot of the seafood catch and import records are listed in groups like ‘marine fish'. Here we didn't look at those vague records, we only looked at records (25)_____________ the actual species was listed — so we've made a huge underestimate of the actual catch of endangered species."There are some ways to untie the mess we're creating in the world's oceans, including (26)____________ (expand) our idea of seafood to include jellyfish. That might sound a little off thetheme, but it's not the first time scientists have suggested (27)_____________ as a food source. It makes a lot of sense because Jellyfish is considered a minor species of wild animals and scientists might think its number is increasing worldwide.Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species (28)_____________ the menu. "Weneed to improve the labelling of seafood (29)_________ __________ the consumers can have all of the information to make an informed choice," UQ conservation scientist Carissa Klein told ScienceAlert.And the informed choice, at least in some places, is (30)_____________ (easy) than you might imagine.

AAttending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school.One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools.At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’ re qualified for it.Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information.Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state.Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools.For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissionsdepartment at your school(s) of interest. 21. The passage is mainly written to______.A. introduce famous universities in the United StalesB. show some practical ways to apply an ideal collegeC. advertise for successful applications and advisorsD. offer tips to save money on college application fees22.

The untold story of child survival is that the global community now has the combined knowledge, technical know-how and affordable tools to end such child deaths. Evidence shows that it is possible to decrease under-five death rates in developing countries to levels approaching those in wealthier countries. That is why 4 years ago ― June, 2021 ― the US, Ethiopia and India joined the United Nations Children’s Fund (or UNICEF) to launch Child Survival Call to Action, a global effort to save children’s lives. The goal was to lower child death rates in the hardest-hit countries to 20 deaths per 1,000 live births by the year 2035.Zambia started a plan focused on nutrition and immunization (免疫) that will save more than 26,000 children each year. Congo is distributing pre-packaged supplies to prevent and treat the most common killers. They hope to save the lives of half a million children by 2021. Similar efforts are taking place in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Yemen, and elsewhere.Child Survival partner companies are also developing life-saving vaccines (疫苗) and treatment for diarrhea. Private enterprisers and medical professionals are training and equipping health workers in 54 countries with life-saving tools. Still others are developing and delivering safe water treatment and storage products.“This high-level forum inspired a global movement ― Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed,” wrote UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. “Four years passing, it continues to build and, today, 174 countries and over 400 civil society and faith-based organizations have taken up the charge in their own commitments. While we still have a long way to go, the first 4 years have seen impressive gains.”25. The underlined word “those” in Paragraph 1 refers to______.

Child Survival Call To Action was founded to______. A. improve the living conditions for poor children B. decrease under-five death rates in some countriesC. raise some money to save children’s livesD. save children in the poorest countries 27. What can be inferred from the passage? A. All diseases can be prevented or treated.B. Governments and partners joined the initial effort.C. Nutrition holds the key to lower the death rates.D. Only governments made their best to reduce the deaths.28. How does Anthony Lake feel towards Child Survival Call to Action? A. Time-consuming. B. Wasteful. C. Positive. D. Cold. CHow you feel and react to your environment on a day-to-day basis can be measured by your behavior, thoughts, and emotions. Your personality gives you away!There are four fundamental characteristics of personality. First, it is constant and people tend to behave in the same way when they meet similar situations. Second, personality not only influences actions, but it also actually causes people to behave in specific ways. Third, personality is influenced by bothpsychological and biological factors. Finally, personality is expressed not only in behaviors, but through emotions, thoughts, social behavior, and close relationships.How the world distinguishes you is a direct reflection of and reaction to how you present yourself to them. Race, age, and sex are qualities you have no control over, but certainly contribute to yourpersonality because of how the world senses you based on them. A person who continuously experiences racial discrimination may guard himself againstit by at first seeming cold and unfriendly. But once he opens up, you may discover someone completely different inside.Physical ones, which you develop over time, also contribute to your personality, and include walking pace, eye contact, and facial expressions. How you want the world to see you influences how you present yourself to others. Characteristics such as altitude, response and general mindset create the surface of your one-of-a-kind personality.If you’re like many people, the aspects of your personality y ou choose to show might depend on the people you meet. For instance, the personality you exhibit around your boss is probably a lot different from the personality you show to your closest friends. All of these elements make up the “you” that only you truly know. And only you can decide when to share these parts of your personality with other colleagues.29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Some aspects of personality.B. Ways to develop personality.C. What contributes to personality.D. Why personality is important. 30. It can be known from Paragraph 2 that______. A. one’s personality is merely determined by birthB. personality consists of behavior, thoughts and relationshipsC. personality has nothing to do with one’s career lifeD. the environment and the situation influence one’s personality 31. The intended readers for the passage are probably______. A. receptionists B. students C. office clerks D. police officers DFor many. Daylight Saving Time (DST: 夏令时) simply means remembering to change the clocks and twisting your sleep schedule. “Even though the time change is only an hour, it is something that causes much more destruction thanpeople believe,” said Dr. John Sharp, a psychologist and psychiatrist atBeth-Israel D eaconess Medical Center in Boston. “It’s not just an extra hour of sleep; it’s more of a fast-forward into winter.”With days getting darker earlier, Sharp suggests making a to-do list for activities after work ahead of time. “Any plans you have, say, going to the gym after work, require much more effort and determination. It’s much betterto plan more carefully and not just rely on how you feel, especially when itis dark out,” he said. “Figure it out in advance and stick with the plan.”In addition. Sharp says in the weeks after Daylight Saving, some may feel like they have a bigger appetite. “Eating more during this time is not the answer. People need to stay on an eating schedule and keep up healthy habits. ”However, Sharp said there are ways to better acclimate yourself to thetime change. If you are having trouble sleeping, he suggests taking some melatonin (退黑激素) in the evening. In contrast, if you find yourself feeling sleepy. Sharp said there is nothing wrong with adding an extra caffeinateddrink during your day.A word to the wise? One sure way to better adjust to the time change is to start going to bed 15 minutesearlier starting four days before Daylight Saving, adding an additional 15 minutes each night. 32. Which is probably the best title for the passage?A. Are you prepared for DST?B. Why DST was introduced?C. What DST has brought to life?D. How DST has been popular? 33. What does John Sharp suggest in Paragraph 2?A. Getting up earlier than before.B. Sticking to the daily routine.C. Being aware of quality sleep.D. Getting well-prepared for DST.34. The underlined word “acclimate” in Paragraph 4 can be replacedby______. A. adopt B. accelerate C. adapt D. acknowledge 35. The passage is probably taken from______.A. a scientific reportB. an interviewC. a speechD. a statement第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Note that there is one word more than you need.If Food is indeed medicine, then it's time to treat it that way. In his upcoming book, Eat to Beat Diseases, Dr William Li, a heart expert, pulls together years of stored data and processes specific doses（剂量）of food that can treat diseases (31) from a mild cold to cancer. Not all doctors agree that the science supports (32) food like drugs, but he is hoping the idea will motivate more researchers to study food in ways as (33) strict as possible and generate stronger data in coming years. "We are far away from prescribing（开处方）diets to fight diseases," he says. "And we may never get there. But we are looking to fill in the (34) that have long existed in this field with real science. This is the beginning of a better tomorrow."And talking about food in terms of doses might push more doctors to focus on patients' grocery lists instead. So far, several hundred people who rely on the Fresh Food Program have had their risk of serious diabetes（糖尿病）complications (35) by 40% and hospitalizations cut by 70% compared with other diabetic people in the area who lack (36) to the program. This year, on the basis of its success so far, the Fresh Food Program is doubling the number of patients it (37) .Shicowich knows firsthand how important that will be for people like him.

He's (40)his cooking skills to include fish, which he had never tried preparing before. "I know what healthy food looks like, and I know what to do with it now," he says.
