A
As one of the most recognized and respected brand names in the US for 100 years now, Reader’s Digest takes an interest in finding out which other companies have earned such confidence from consumers. To do that, we partner with the research company Ipsos every year to ask Americans about the companies they trust, from cleaning supplies to cruise lines.
This year, for our seventh annual survey, we included some new product categories, such as streaming services, all-inclusive resorts and food storage. These names came out on top after our sample of 4,000 Americans voted on which home and family brands they trust most:
ELECTRONICS
Wireless ProviderVerizon
Earlier this year, Verizon gave unlimited call, text and data to customers in areas affected by wildfires. It also debuted a new tool to connect first responders during such disasters: the Tactical Humanitarian Operations Response---- also known as THOR’s Hammer.
ENTERTAINMENT
Cruise Line Carnival Cruise Line
Whenever a young patient at St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital has a birthday, Carnival supplies the cake. One of its newer ships, Mardi Gras, even features artwork made by some of the kids undergoing treatment.
HOME
Interior Paint Behr
These paint pros conduct an annual survey of their own to crown the Color of the Year. Blank Canvas (a “hopeful and welcoming warm white”) has emerged as the top choice for 2023.
PETS
Pet Insurance Healthy Paws
The company’s co-founders meet at no-kill animal shelter. One was the shelter’s director and the other was an insurance executive. Now, their nonprofit, the Healthy Paws Foundation, helps other animal shelters care for sick homeless pets.
1. What can we learn about Reader’s Digest
A. Reader’s Digest is the most recognized magazines in the US.
B. It conducts a survey about trusted companies independently.
C. Its survey of this year is more inclusive than any other year.
D. About 4,000 American families took part in its investigation.
2. Which can provide insurance for the animals
A. Verizon B. Carnival Cruise Line
C Behr D. Healthy Paws
3. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To warn B. To predict
C. To introduce D. To educate
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C

There is no way they just drove into that water, thought Corion Evans. The 16-year-old was hanging out with friends in a parking area underneath a Moss Point, highway in July when a car with three teenage girls inside fell into the Pascagoula River. It came to rest some 20 feet from land, then sank. The driver, Evans would learn, had blindly followed wrong directions from her GPS.
It was around 2:30 a. m. by the time Evans and brothers Karon and Caleh Bradley got to the river’s edge. In the darkness, they could barely make out the girls clinging to the roof, the only part of the car still, barely, above water. But they could hear screaming.
Evans took off his shirt and shoes, put his phone down, and then dived into the water, a river he knew alligators (鳄鱼) called home. He helped the first girl he saw and, keeping her head above water, led her ashore.
Just then, a man called out. Police Officer Garry Mercer had arrived. He dived into the river to help another of the girls. But halfway back to shore she panicked and went underwater, pulling Mercer down with her. Evans jumped back into the water and helped them until they could stand. “If he hadn’t been there, who knows ” Mercer told the Washington Post.
There was still one girl in the water. Cora Watson, 19, could not swim. She was gulping water, struggling to stay afloat. And scared.
“I heard Watson screaming ‘Help! And I thought she was done,” Caleh told WLOX in Biloxi.
“I just knew my last breath was coming,” Watson said. “My mind said, You’re slowly losing yourself.” She began to go under. Then, a surprise. “Corion had grabbed me.”
All of them were taken to the hospital and released. They’re alive because Corion Evans risked his life to save them. They’re alive, says his mother, Marquita Evans, because Corion Evans broke his curfew (宵禁). But she’s not mad, she told the Post, “He had a good reason.”
4. Why did the car fall into the river
A. Because the driver was blind.
B. Because the driver was a teenager.
C. Because the GPS was not accurate.
D. Because the car broke down accidentally.
5. How many people did Corion Evans save
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
6. Which of the following best describes Corion Evans
A. Optimistic and honest B. Skillful and brave
C. Humorous and kind D. Responsible and creative
7. What can we infer from the passage
A. Police Officer Garry Mercer can’t swim.
B. The river that the car fell into is dangerous.
C. Evans and his friends saved the girls together .
D. Marquita was angry about Evan’s breaking his curfew.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的16岁的埃文斯在与朋友们闲逛的过程中，于河水中拯救他人的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The driver, Evans would learn, had blindly followed wrong directions from her GPS.(埃文斯发现，司机盲目地遵循了GPS的错误指示。)”可知，是因为司机盲目地跟着错误的GPS行进，所以掉进了河里。故选C.
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“when a car with three teenage girls inside fell into the Pascagoula River. It came to rest some 20 feet from land, then sank. The driver, Evans would learn, had blindly followed wrong directions from her GPS.(当时一辆载有三名少女的汽车坠入帕斯卡古拉河。它停在离陆地约20英尺的地方，然后下沉。埃文斯得知到，司机盲目地遵循了GPS的错误指示。)”可知，该汽车下沉的时候有三个女孩和一名司机，由此推断埃文斯共拯救了4个人。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“He dived into the river to help another of the girls. But halfway back to shore she panicked and went underwater, pulling Mercer down with her. Evans jumped back into the water and helped them until they could stand.(他跳入河中去帮助另一个女孩。但在回到岸边的半路上，她惊慌失措，沉入了水下，把Mercer也拖了下去。埃文斯又跳进水里，扶着他们，直到他们站起来为止。)”可知，在拯救女孩的过程中埃文斯勇敢并且熟练水性，故推断他是勇敢的和熟练的。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Evans took off his shirt and shoes, put his phone down, and then dived into the water, a river he knew alligators (鳄鱼) called home. (埃文斯脱下衬衫和鞋子，放下手机，然后跳入水中，他知道这条河被短吻鳄称为家。)”可知，汽车掉进去的那条河很危险，因为那条河被称作短吻鳄的家即有很多鳄鱼生活于此。故选B。
C
Typical commercial white paints reflect only 80% to 90% of sunlight and fail to help buildings stay cool during the day. For the past six years, mechanical engineer Xiulin Ruan at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and his colleagues sought to create whiter paints to cool buildings without the need of electricity. They explored more than 100 materials, narrowing them down to 10 and testing roughly 50 different combinations of each material.
The one that performed best is based on barium sulfate(硫酸钡), something used to whiten photo paper and makeup. It is highly reflective to solar wavelengths of light. The scientists made sure the paint had a high concentration of barium sulfate particles(颗粒) of many different sizes. The wavelength of light each particle scatters depends on its size, so a wide range of particle sizes helps the paint reflect more light from the sun.
Outdoor tests of the new paint revealed it was the coolest on record, keeping surfaces 19 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than their surrounding surfaces at night, and 8 degrees cooler than surroundings under strong noon sunlight. It even worked in the middle of winter — when the temperature was 43 degrees F, it still managed to lower temperatures by 18 degrees Fahrenheit.
The scientists estimate that if 1,000 square feet of roof were covered with this paint, it would provide a cooling power of 10 kilowatts, more powerful than the central air conditioners used by most houses. The scientists noted they could likely make the paint even whiter by increasing the particle concentration, although too high a concentration would make the paint easier to peel off. Ruan said, “ painting 0.5% to 1% of the Earth’s surface with their paint, for example by coating roofs, roads, unused land and so on, might even help stop global warming.” He added, “Barium sulfate is common and environmentally safe, and powders of it are roughly half the cost of those often used in commercial white paints.”
In the future, the researchers want to optimize and commercialize their paint for a wide range of applications, including buildings, automobiles and outdoor equipment. They would also like to develop colored versions.
8. Which is one of the features of barium sulfate
A. It can only reflect 80% to 90% of sunlight.
B. It’s used to make photo paper and makeup whiter.
C. It helps the paint reflect less light from the sun.
D. It is reflective to all the wavelengths of the light.
9. What does the underlined word “scatters” mean in Paragraph 2
A. absorbs B. reflects C. breaks D. concentrates
10. What will happen if the particle concentration is too high
A. The paint will be easier to fall off.
B. The paint will take in more sunlight.
C. It can make the paint less whiter.
D. It will change the wavelength of the light.
11. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Barium sulfate is used in white paints.
B. Some engineers created white paints.
C. White paints can stop global warming.
D. Whiter paint can cool buildings.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍研究人员试图寻找更白的涂料给建筑物降温。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The one that performed best is based on barium sulfate(硫酸钡), something used to whiten photo paper and makeup.(表现最好的一种是硫酸钡，一种用来漂白相纸和化妆品的东西)”可知，硫酸钡用于制作相纸和化妆品。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词下文“so a wide range of particle sizes helps the paint reflect more light from the sun(所以大范围的粒子大小有助于油漆反射更多来自太阳的光)”可知，大范围的硫酸钡颗粒有助于油漆反射更多来自太阳的光，由此可推知，画线词所在句意为“每个粒子反射的光的波长取决于它的大小”，scatters意为“反射”。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The scientists noted they could likely make the paint even whiter by increasing the particle concentration, although too high a concentration would make the paint easier to peel off.(科学家们指出，他们可能会通过增加颗粒浓度来让颜料变得更白，尽管浓度过高会让颜料更容易脱落)”可知，颗粒浓度过高，颜料更容易脱落。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“For the past six years, mechanical engineer Xiulin Ruan at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and his colleagues sought to create whiter paints to cool buildings without the need of electricity.(在过去的六年里，印第安纳州西拉斐特普渡大学的机械工程师Xiulin Ruan和他的同事们试图创造出一种不需要电力就能给建筑物降温的更白的涂料)”可知，文章主要讲述研究人员试图寻找更白的涂料给建筑物降温。故选D。
D
William Osler, a doctor, once said, “The person who takes medicine must recover twice: once from the disease and once from the medicine.” It tells us medicine may have some side-effects. Therefore, many people in the west are turning to other treatments to replace some medicine. Acupuncture(针刺) is one of these treatments.
What is acupuncture It is based on the idea that energy flows through the human body along 12 lines or meridians(经络). These meridians end up at organs in the body, and illness is the result of blockage of the energy flow to these organs. To remove the blockage(堵塞), an acupuncturist inserts very fine needles into the body at points along the meridians. This stimulates the flow of energy, and restores the patient’s health.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese treatment, which has been practiced for around 3,000 years. It is used to treat a wide range of diseases, such as headaches, dental pain, back pain, high blood pressure, stress, depression, and anxiety.
Since acupuncture is known to be effective against pain, it is not surprising that many people have experimented with it. Martina Hingis, a famous tennis player, had a wrist injury cured through acupuncture. NBA legend Kobe Bryant also used it on his leg. It has been used widely in the German football league, including the national team. The Queen of England is also interested in it.
If you do decide to visit an acupuncturist, it is important that you should check they are qualified and registered to practice, for some people are allergic to it while being treated, although this is very uncommon.
12. What can we learn according to the passage
A. Medicine have little side effects.
B. Acupuncture was originally used in the west.
C. Acupuncture can treat physical as well as mental diseases.
D. The person who takes medicine recovers twice from the disease.
13. How does Paragraph 4 develop
A. By making comparison B. By giving definition
C. By taking examples D. By listing numbers
14. What is the author’s attitude towards acupuncture
A. Positive B. Negative C. Skeptical D. Indifferent
15. Which is the best title of this passage
A. The Function of Acupuncture
B. The History of Acupuncture
C. Acupuncture ---- Be Careful
D. Acupuncture ---- An Effective Treatment
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】

One day my classmates and I go to a park to do some volunteer labor. While we were doing that, a lot of tourist passed by us, looked at us curiously. Some of them even asked how much we paid for that, which made some students embarrassed. However, in my opinion, we should answer those questions proud. After all, we did this for nothing and for the beauty of our city. Although that we have done is just a little, I feel happy that we can do anything helpful to the society. Our city will be much more better if we devote more effort on its development.
【答案】1.go→went
2.tourist→tourists
3.looked→looking
4.在paid前加were
5.proud→proudly
6.and→but
7.that→what
8.anything→something

10.on→to
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者由和同学去公园做义工一事而引发的思考。
【详解】1.考查一般过去时。句意：一天，我和同学去公园做义工。根据时间状语“One day”可知，此处是描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故将go改为went。
2.考查名词复数。句意：当我们做那些时，很多游客从我们身边经过，好奇地看着我们。tourist游客，可数名词，由a lot of可知应用复数形式。故将tourist改为tourists。
3.考查现在分词。句意同上。句中没有连词，故look应用非谓语形式，look和逻辑主语tourists之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词作状语。故填将looked改为looking。
4.考查被动语态。句意：有些人甚至问我们拿了多少钱，这让一些学生很尴尬。结合语境可知，此处指游客问我们，别人支付给我们多少钱让我们做这些事，所以主语we和动词pay之间是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语we表示复数意义，be动词用were。故在paid前加were。
5.考查副词。句意：然而，在我看来，我们应该自豪地回答这些问题。修饰动词answer，应用副词proudly。故将proud改为proudly。
6.考查连词。句意：毕竟，我们这样做只是为了我们城市的美丽。结合句意可知，此处指我们做这些事不是为了别的事情，只是为了城市的美丽，nothing but仅仅，只，故将and改为but。
7.考查主语从句。句意：虽然我们所做的只是一点点，但我很高兴我们能做一些对社会有帮助的事情。分析句子可知，Although引导的让步状语从句中包含一个主语从句，引导词在主语从句中作done的宾语，指物，应用what引导，故将that改为what。
8.考查不定代词。句意同上。此处是肯定句，指“做一些对社会有帮助的事情”，应用不定代词something，anything通常用于否定句和疑问句中，用于肯定句时表示“任何事情”，故将anything改为something。
9.考查形容词比较级。句意：如果我们投入更多努力在城市的发展上，它会变得更好。better是形容词比较级，much修饰比较级，表示程度，more多余，故删除more。

As one of the most recognized and respected brand names in the US for 100 years now, Reader’s Digest takes an interest in finding out which other companies have earned such confidence from consumers. To do that, we partner with the research company Ipsos every year to ask Americans about the companies they trust, from cleaning supplies to cruise lines.
This year, for our seventh annual survey, we included some new product categories, such as streaming services, all-inclusive resorts and food storage. These names came out on top after our sample of 4,000 Americans voted on which home and family brands they trust most:

There is no way they just drove into that water, thought Corion Evans. The 16-year-old was hanging out with friends in a parking area underneath a Moss Point, highway in July when a car with three teenage girls inside fell into the Pascagoula River. It came to rest some 20 feet from land, then sank. The driver, Evans would learn, had blindly followed wrong directions from her GPS.
It was around 2:30 a. m. by the time Evans and brothers Karon and Caleh Bradley got to the river’s edge. In the darkness, they could barely make out the girls clinging to the roof, the only part of the car still, barely, above water. But they could hear screaming.
Evans took off his shirt and shoes, put his phone down, and then dived into the water, a river he knew alligators (鳄鱼) called home. He helped the first girl he saw and, keeping her head above water, led her ashore.
Just then, a man called out. Police Officer Garry Mercer had arrived. He dived into the river to help another of the girls. But halfway back to shore she panicked and went underwater, pulling Mercer down with her. Evans jumped back into the water and helped them until they could stand. “If he hadn’t been there, who knows ” Mercer told the Washington Post.
There was still one girl in the water. Cora Watson, 19, could not swim. She was gulping water, struggling to stay afloat. And scared.
“I heard Watson screaming ‘Help! And I thought she was done,” Caleh told WLOX in Biloxi.
“I just knew my last breath was coming,” Watson said. “My mind said, You’re slowly losing yourself.” She began to go under. Then, a surprise. “Corion had grabbed me.”
All of them were taken to the hospital and released. They’re alive because Corion Evans risked his life to save them. They’re alive, says his mother, Marquita Evans, because Corion Evans broke his curfew (宵禁). But she’s not mad, she told the Post, “He had a good reason.”
4. Why did the car fall into the river
A. Because the driver was blind.
B. Because the driver was a teenager.
C. Because the GPS was not accurate.
D. Because the car broke down accidentally.
5. How many people did Corion Evans save
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
6. Which of the following best describes Corion Evans
A. Optimistic and honest B. Skillful and brave
C. Humorous and kind D. Responsible and creative
7. What can we infer from the passage
A. Police Officer Garry Mercer can’t swim.
B. The river that the car fell into is dangerous.
C. Evans and his friends saved the girls together .
D. Marquita was angry about Evan’s breaking his curfew.
C
Typical commercial white paints reflect only 80% to 90% of sunlight and fail to help buildings stay cool during the day. For the past six years, mechanical engineer Xiulin Ruan at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and his colleagues sought to create whiter paints to cool buildings without the need of electricity. They explored more than 100 materials, narrowing them down to 10 and testing roughly 50 different combinations of each material.
The one that performed best is based on barium sulfate(硫酸钡), something used to whiten photo paper and makeup. It is highly reflective to solar wavelengths of light. The scientists made sure the paint had a high concentration of barium sulfate particles(颗粒) of many different sizes. The wavelength of light each particle scatters depends on its size, so a wide range of particle sizes helps the paint reflect more light from the sun.
Outdoor tests of the new paint revealed it was the coolest on record, keeping surfaces 19 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than their surrounding surfaces at night, and 8 degrees cooler than surroundings under strong noon sunlight. It even worked in the middle of winter — when the temperature was 43 degrees F, it still managed to lower temperatures by 18 degrees Fahrenheit.
The scientists estimate that if 1,000 square feet of roof were covered with this paint, it would provide a cooling power of 10 kilowatts, more powerful than the central air conditioners used by most houses. The scientists noted they could likely make the paint even whiter by increasing the particle concentration, although too high a concentration would make the paint easier to peel off. Ruan said, “ painting 0.5% to 1% of the Earth’s surface with their paint, for example by coating roofs, roads, unused land and so on, might even help stop global warming.” He added, “Barium sulfate is common and environmentally safe, and powders of it are roughly half the cost of those often used in commercial white paints.”
In the future, the researchers want to optimize and commercialize their paint for a wide range of applications, including buildings, automobiles and outdoor equipment. They would also like to develop colored versions.
8. Which is one of the features of barium sulfate
A. It can only reflect 80% to 90% of sunlight.
B. It’s used to make photo paper and makeup whiter.
C. It helps the paint reflect less light from the sun.
D. It is reflective to all the wavelengths of the light.
9. What does the underlined word “scatters” mean in Paragraph 2
A. absorbs B. reflects C. breaks D. concentrates
10. What will happen if the particle concentration is too high
A. The paint will be easier to fall off.
B. The paint will take in more sunlight.
C. It can make the paint less whiter.
D. It will change the wavelength of the light.
11. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Barium sulfate is used in white paints.
B. Some engineers created white paints.
C. White paints can stop global warming.
D. Whiter paint can cool buildings.
D
William Osler, a doctor, once said, “The person who takes medicine must recover twice: once from the disease and once from the medicine.” It tells us medicine may have some side-effects. Therefore, many people in the west are turning to other treatments to replace some medicine. Acupuncture(针刺) is one of these treatments.
What is acupuncture It is based on the idea that energy flows through the human body along 12 lines or meridians(经络). These meridians end up at organs in the body, and illness is the result of blockage of the energy flow to these organs. To remove the blockage(堵塞), an acupuncturist inserts very fine needles into the body at points along the meridians. This stimulates the flow of energy, and restores the patient’s health.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese treatment, which has been practiced for around 3,000 years. It is used to treat a wide range of diseases, such as headaches, dental pain, back pain, high blood pressure, stress, depression, and anxiety.
Since acupuncture is known to be effective against pain, it is not surprising that many people have experimented with it.
