21、Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), along with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one of China’s cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is a gem of Chinese civilization, and it has also made great contributions to world civilization by improving people’s health and promoting social progress.
There used to be a debate in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better, and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and western medicine are two different medical theoretical systems that can not replace each other. In some aspects such as surgery, Western medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery and treatment of chronic (慢性的) diseases, TCM is more effective. This is way some Chinese hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been accepted by many Chinese people as the most effective treatment.
Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become a consensus (共识) in Chinese society. The Chinese government has formulated policies to support the development and innovation of TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal attention to both.
The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will focus on three aspects. The first is the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions (处方). The third is to give better play to the advantages of TCM, especially acupuncture (针灸) and naprapathy (推拿). The function of TCM in disease prevention and recovery will also be enhanced.
As long as TCM keeps its core strengths and respects the rules of development and innovation, it will surely be able to maintain its vitality and bring more benefits to people in China and the world.
【1】What advantage does Western medicine have over TCM?
A.It is a symbol of national civilization.
B.It is more successful in recovery after surgery.

A.It calls on the public to support TCM.
B.It combines Internet Technology with TCM.
C.It makes better use of the advantages of TCM.
D.It increases TCM services in hospitals and medical centers.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.TCM Beats Western Medicine.
B.Chinese Government Promotes TCM.
C.TCM is One of China's Cultural Symbols.
D.TCM Breaks New Ground.
22、We all know that the blue light that emits from our smartphones isn’t good for our eyes, but a new study has discovered just how much damage it can cause. Researchers say that this light is absorbed by vital molecules in our retina (视网膜) and triggers the production of a toxic chemical that kill cells.
This damage can lead to large blind spots in our vision that are the hallmark of macular degeneration (黄斑变性), a disease that leads to blindness. The team from die University of Toledo in Ohio says it is urging the public not to use phones in the dark because this can dilate (放大) pupils and lead to even more harmful blue light entering our eyes.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss for those aged 50 or older, according to the National Eye Institute. The condition occurs when the macula, an oval area near the center of Ae retina that allows for sharp vision, becomes damaged.
Sufferers will experience blurred vision or even ‘blind spots’ in their central vision that may grow larger as the retina dies. Treatments include medications that stop new blood vessels from forming in the eye as well as laser therapies that destroy abnormal blood vessels.
For this study, the team decided to focus on retinal, a form of vitamin A found in the retina that coverts light into metabolic energy. Photoreceptor cells (感光细胞) use retinal to covert light into signals that are sent to the brain.
“The human eye reflects UV light (such as from the sun) very well but it allows blue light to enter and the retinal can absorb blue light very well”, lead author Dr Ajith Kanmaratfme, an assistant professor in the UT department of chemistry and biochemistry, told Daily Mail Online.
Dr Karunarathne noted that blue light alone or retinal that hadn’t absorbed blue light did not have any effect on the cells. He added that there was no activity when retinal was exposed to other light colors such as green, red or yellow.
The team did find a molecule, a vitamin E derivative (衍生物) known as alpha tocopherol, that can stop the cells from dying.
“When you damage the photoreceptor cells, they’re damaged for good, so the vitamin E derivative currently just reduces damage,” said Dr Karunarathne. “We’re currently screening for more molecules to see if they can stop this damaging reaction.”
He explained that as we get older, the ability to prevent attacks from retinal that has absorbed blue light became weaker, which leads to macular degeneration.
“Looking at cell phones in the dark can be very harmful because the pupils are dilated so more blue light can get in and cause damage”, he said.
【1】What does the underlined word “hallmark” in Para 2 mean?
A.method
B.symbol
C.idea
D.feature
【2】Blue light damages our vision because it can ________.
A.dilate pupils to cause retina cells die
B.cause large blind spots related to blindness
C.produce a chemical that destroys blood vessels
D.be reflected by important molecules in our retina
【3】Which of the following statements may Dr. Ajitii Ktrunarathne agree with?
A.Blue light alone has great Influence on the cell.
B.People’s eyes can absorb both UV light and blue light.
C.Alpha Tocopherol will help photoreceptor cells to recover.
D.The ability to withstand attacks from retinal becomes weak when we become older.
【4】What is most likely to be further discussed if the article continues?
A.Some ways to protect our vision.
B.The reasons for macular degeneration.
C.The function of the vitamin E derivative.
D.How photoreceptor cells convert light into signals.
23、When a young physician appeared in a village to set up practice, she ran into a wall of distrust. Fourteen years on, the locals treat her as one of their own, Yang Feiyue reports.
Two pairs of old-fashioned black shoes with rugged cotton soles (鞋底) stand out among a pile of items, including awards certificates that exemplify Zhong Jing’s work in improving rural health over the past 14 years.
The shoes are by no means finely finished and point to the tough manual labor of a 90-year-old villager who touched Zhong’s soul and made her decide to put down roots in Longhe village, Longchang town, Qianxi-nan Bouyei and Miao autonomous prefecture in Guizhou province.
“I’ve never been able to get over how she must have struggled across several kilometers of rough mountain roads just to send me these shoes,” Zhong says.
The anecdote is one of many that tell of the bond between Zhong and the village’s 3,000 or so residents. Rain or shine, Zhong opens the door of her clinic in the village no later than 7: 30 am each day. The clinic is the only place where the villagers can see a doctor and have their ailments (疾病尤指慢性病) tended without trekking (艰苦跋涉) further afield.
Zhong, 39, knows every one of her patients and their conditions, so her diagnoses are done efficiently, with prescriptions that almost always seem to do the trick. When villages are on their work breaks, Zhong makes calls to some who have chronic (长期的) diseases, such as high blood pressure, and diabetes.
When Zhong settled down in Longhe in 2008, villagers’ worries of having nowhere to turn to in a medical emergency evaporated.
【1】What’s the local villagers’ reaction when Zhong first appeared in the village?
A.They relied on her treatment very much.
B.They did not have belief in her very much.
C.They just completely ignored her effort.
D.They treated her as one of their own.
【2】Why does the author mention two pairs of old-fashioned shoes?
A.To illustrate that Zhong lived a poor life.
B.To illustrate that Zhong walked a long way.
C.To illustrate Zhong’s simple lifestyle.
D.To illustrate the local’s appreciation for her.
【3】Why are Zhong’s diagnoses almost efficient?
A.Because she has advanced diagnose skills.
B.Because she has confidence in her medial knowledge.
C.Because she thoroughly knows her patients’ conditions.
D.Because the local patients have no other clinic to go.
【4】What does the underlined word in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Disappeared.
B.Declined.
C.Established.
D.Confirmed.
24、Have you ever thought about what happens to people’s property when they die? That’s where wills come in. Traditionally, wills were only made by the elderly. Many young people think they don’t need wills if they don’t have kids or houses yet. But in recent years, this perception has started to change.
A white paper released by the China Will Registration Center in March revealed that more people in their 20s and 30s are now writing wills in China, reported China Daily. The Daily Mail also reported that more young people are writing wills thanks to the CoVID-19 pandemic. In the UK, only 18 percent of 18-to 34-уеаr-olds had wills in 2019, compared to 27 percent in 2021. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Emily James, 22, said the main reason she wrote a will was the pandemic. “In the current climate, you can’t really get away from death - it’s something my generation has never been faced with so distinctly before. The death count is broadcast every day, and most people know someone who has been affected by the virus, which starts to make you think and want to plan for your future.”
Apart from the pandemic, public knowledge of celebrities’ health conditions, like the British royal family, has led to more people writing wills. The highest number of wills written on a single day in 2021 was on Feb 18, following the late Prince Philip’s admission to hospital, according to data from Farewill, one of the UK’s biggest death planning companies.
Farewill’s data also show that the legacies young people leave in their wills are reflections of current society. Music and pop culture collections were among the top things included in wills. The most common pop culture collections mentioned were Disney, Star Wars and Harry Potter memorabilia(纪念品).
The pandemic increased people’s likelihood of including a gift to a charity in their will. Furry friends are also not forgotten. Farewill’s data show nearly one-fifth of the people were making wills to ensure their pets were well looked after, with a total of 37 percent of will writers including plans for their pets.
【1】What did the Daily Mail report?
