21、 A nice warm cup of tea a day might keep glaucoma (青光眼) at bay,according to new research published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
Risk of developing glaucoma — one of the leading causes of blindness around the world that currently affects nearly 58 million people — might be lowered by drinking hot tea daily. The disease causes fluid to build up inside the eye that puts pressure onto the optic nerve (视神经). Previous research said that caffeine (咖啡因) might prevent this build-up but the new findings showed that drinking decaffeinated and caffeinated coffee, iced caffeinated tea and caffeinated sodas had no effect on glaucoma risk.
In the new study, researchers looked at the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for the 2005 — 2006 year of 10,000 adults and children. The data is from interviews with the patients, their physical exams and blood tests. That specific year also included eye tests for glaucoma in 1678 adults and showed that about 5% had the disease. Those patients were asked how many caffeinated and decaffeinated drinks they consumed during that year and how often. The results of the questionnaire showed that those who drank hot tea daily were 74% less likely to develop glaucoma than their peers who didn’t.
“Tea has long been recognized to have various chemicals that contribute to lowering the risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes,” the researchers said. But further study is needed to determine if things like the size of the cup,type of tea and length of brew (冲泡) time influence the results.
【1】What can we learn about glaucoma?
A. It can be cured by drinking hot tea daily.
B. It is a great threat to people’s eyesight.
C. It affects nearly 58 million people yearly.
D. It is caused by too much pressure on the eyes.
【2】What did previous research find?
A. Drinking coffee reduces glaucoma risk.
B. Iced tea has no effect on glaucoma risk.
C. Caffeine does good to glaucoma patients.
D. Caffeine causes fluid to build up in the eyes.
【3】How was the new study carried out?
A. By interviewing patients.
B. By testing participants’ eyes.
C. By handing out questionnaires.
D. By studying data from previous studies.
【4】What does the underlined phrase “those patients” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The 10,000 adults. B. The 1,678 adults.
C. The 5% adults. D. The 74% adults.
22、Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

1. Think ahead .The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week .When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already ? 【2】.
2. Make your time worth it .When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on Are you making one loaf of bread? 【3】. It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for future meal.
3. 【4】 This may surprise you , but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

23、 2019-nCoV, a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected more than 10000 people since the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December. Scientist Leo Poon, who first decoded the novel virus, thinks it likely started in an animal and spread to humans.
“What we know is that it causes pneumonia (肺炎) and then doesn’t respond to antibiotic (抗生素) treatment, which is not surprising, but then in terms of death rate, SARS kills 10% of the individuals,” Poon, a virologist at the School of Public Health at The University of Hong Kong, said.
2019-nCoV can make people sick, usually with a mild to moderate upper respiratory tract illness (上呼吸道疾病), similar to a common cold. Coronavirus symptoms include a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache and maybe a fever, which can last for a couple of days. For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly, there’s a chance that the virus could cause a lower, and much more serious, respiratory tract illness like a pneumonia orbronchitis (支气管炎).
There are a handful of human coronaviruses that are known to be deadly.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (中东呼吸综合症), also known as the MERS virus, was first reported in the Middle East in 2012 and also causes respiratory problems, but those symptoms are much more severe. Three to four out of every 10 patients infected with MERS died, according to the CDC.
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, also known as SARS, is the other coronavirus that can cause more severe symptoms. First identified in Guangdong Province in southern China, according to the WHO, it causes respiratory problems but can also cause diarrhea (腹泻), fatigue (疲劳), shortness of breath, respiratory distress (呼吸窘迫) and kidney failure (肾衰). Depending on the patient’s age, the death rate with SARS ranged from 0-50% of the cases, with older people being the most vulnerable (易受伤害的).
Viruses can spread from human contact with animals. Scientists think MERS started in camels, according to the WHO. With SARS, scientists suspected civet cats were to blame.
When it comes to human-to-human transmission of 2019-nCoV, often it happens when someone comes into contact with the infected person’s secretions (分泌物). Depending on how virulent (有毒的) the virus is, a cough, sneeze or handshake could cause exposure. The virus can also be transmitted by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Caregivers (护理人员) can sometimes be exposed by handling a patient’s waste, according to the CDC.
【1】Which of the following can explain the underlined word “decoded”in paragraph 1?
A.found or discovered something.
B.put something into a code.
C.changed something into ordinary language.
D.changed something into a form that can be processed.
【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A.Antibiotic treatment has some effect on 2019-nCoV.
B.2019-nCoV usually causes severe illness similar to a pneumonia or bronchitis.
C.Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia, MERS and SARS are all caused by corona viruses.
D.2019-nCoV spreads just by getting close to the infected person.
【3】What type of writing is the passage?
A.An instruction. B.A news report.
C.An advertisement. D.A scientific paper.
24、Fifteen people have come out of a cave (山洞) in southwest France after 40 days underground in an experiment to see how the absence of clocks, smartphones, daylight and communication would influence their sense of time.
Marina Lançon, one of the seven women taking part in the experiment, said, “I did not feel any rush to do anything and wished I could have stayed in the cave a few days longer, but I am happy to feel the wind and hear birdsong again. I won’t look at my smartphone for a few more days, hoping to avoid a return to real life.”
The group lived in and explored the cave as part of a project called Deep Time. The cave was cool inside -- about 10°C, and its air was very wet. The campers slept in tents (帐篷). If they wanted light, they had to make it themselves by riding a special bike. They had to get all of their water themselves by pulling it up from a well deep below the cave.
Scientists at the Human Adaption Institute, which is leading the ₤860,000 project, say the experiment will help them better understand how people get used to big changes in living conditions and environments.
The campers were told to sleep and eat whenever they wanted. Because there were no clocks, they counted the days depending on how many times they had slept. When the 40-day experiment was over, most people thought they’d been in the cave for about 30 days. One man thought that only 23 days had passed.
“Our future as humans on this planet will evolve (演变),” Clot, the project director, said. “We must learn to better understand how our brains are able to find new ways to settle problems, whatever the situation is.”
【1】What do Marina Lançon’s words show?
A.She learned a lot from the experiment.
B.She thought smartphones were useless.
C.She felt unhappy to get out of the cave.
D.She will return to her daily life slowly.
【2】What was the people’s life in the cave like?
A.Hard.
B.Lonely.
C.Happy.
D.Busy.
【3】What did the experiment find?
A.The people valued time more.
B.The people lost sense of time.
C.The people slept better than usual.
D.The people were healthier than before.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Fifteen people lived in a cave in France
B.A cave in France is used for an experiment
C.People left a cave after a 40-day experiment
D.Fifteen campers went to explore a cave in France

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once upon a time, in a small town located near the edge of a vast forest, two adventurous souls named John and David had long been keen to go deep into the heart of nature. One day, armed with their backpacks, they determined to explore the forest. The villagers had warned them to stick to the main path, cautioning that there could be hunters’ traps elsewhere, but the appeal of the charming forest was too great to resist.
As they confidently ventured deeper into the forest, its beauty unfolded before their eyes. An hour later, driven by the hunger for the unknown, they made a decision to take the less-traveled path, making marks along the way carefully as they went. For another two hours, they observed various flowers, took pictures of strange-shaped rocks and marveled at the breathtaking scenery. The forest seemed to be a world of its own, untouched by human presence. Everything appeared so beautiful.
However, little did they know that danger was hidden under their feet. As they went further, they realized that their phones had lost signal, and they were completely cut off from the outside world. Suddenly, John stepped forward and felt the ground gave way beneath him. Before he knew it, he had fallen into a hidden pit(深坑), his leg trapped by the wooden spikes(尖刺) lining the bottom. Pain shot through his body as he cried out for help.
Upon hearing John’s crying out in pain, David quickly ran to the edge of the pit, desperately trying to find a way to pull his friend out. However, his efforts were in vain. “John, are you okay? Can you move your leg?” asked David worriedly. John winced in pain as he tried to move his injured leg, “I think I’ve hurt my leg, David. It aches a lot.” “It’s going to be okay, John,” David comforted him, “I’ll find a way to get you out of here!” With no phone signal and nightfall approaching, David knew he had to act fast.
