Sahana Vij, the granddaughter of Indian immigrants (移民), has always been surrounded by food. Her mother taught her to make tasty bread and French toast when she was 5. Now 18, Vij is a self-taught baker who’s sharing her recipes with the world through her new cookbook, Bake Away.
Featuring 20 of her original recipes, Bake Away has been in the works since her first year of high school. It hit the shelves on Oct. 26, 2021, and was promising to enjoy good sales. Each recipe in the cookbook is tied to a location. The first, for CPS bread, is inspired by Vij’s memory of picking fruit in her grandfather’s garden in Temescal Valley.
The University of California Irvine first year student intends to major in literary journalism and minor in environmental science, but baking is in her blood. “I want to work at newspapers or magazines and write columns, specifically about the environment. I love to write, but my dream job is to own my own bakery,” Vij says. “That’s really my passion.”
“UCI was a good fit for me because my family is around me” Vij says. “Family is a really big part of my life — something I can depend on — and I go visit them a lot. Each Bake Away recipe comes from a different city and a different experience I’ve had with my family.”
Her favorite is the U District cake, influenced by the tea she used to share with her mother on their monthly trips to Seattle’s University District. “It’s my whole family’s favorite recipe because it just tastes so good and because we’ve been making it more as a family over the past year. It’s kind of become a family recipe.”
The profits from Bake Away will go to No Kid Hungry, a nonprofit working to end child hunger. “Growing up, my mom and my family were really involved in volunteering, and I always wanted to give back,” Vij says. “I decided to partner with No Kid Hungry, especially because the book involves food.”
4. Why does Vij love baking so much
A. It brings her money and fame.
B. It is part of her nature and memories.
C. She wants to make her mother happy.
D. She tries to keep the immigrants tradition.
5 What does the underlined words “hit the shelves” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Was placed on the shelves. B. Became popular.
C. Came into the market. D. Ended up with failure.
6. What contributes to Vij’s book most
A. Her college education. B. Her courage to challenge.
C. Her sense of responsibility. D. Her good family relationship.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Recipe for Change B. Power of Love
C. Success of a Book D. Fight for Passion
C
If you’ve ever felt “butterflies in your stomach” when nervous, you’re likely getting signals from an unexpected source: your second brain. Hidden in the walls of the digestive system, this “brain in your gut (肠道) ” is revolutionizing medicine’s understanding of the links between digestion, mood and health. Scientists call this little brain the enteric nervous system (ENS 肠神经系统).
The ENS is two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gut. Unlike the big brain in your head, the ENS can’t calculate or compose a love note. “Its main role is controlling digestion,” explains Jay Pasricha, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Center. “The enteric nervous system doesn’t seem capable of thought as we know it, but it communicates back and forth with our big brain.” For decades, researchers and doctors thought that anxiety and depression contributed to gut problems. But Pasricha’s research shows that it can also be the other way around.
Our two brains “talk” to each other, so treatments that help one may help the other. In a way, doctors who treat digestive conditions are like advisors looking for ways to comfort the second brain. Psychological approaches also help to improve communications between the big brain and the brain in our gut.
Pasricha says the research suggests that digestive-system activity may affect thinking skills and memory, too. “This is an area that needs more research, something we hope to do here at Johns Hopkins,” he says.
8. Why does the author mention “butterflies in your stomach” in paragraph 1
A. To show the power of the ENS.
B. To prove the origin of the idiom.
C. To explain why you’re very nervous.
D. To engage the readers with the topic.
9. What does Pasricha’s research tell us
A. The main role of the ENS has changed.
B. Depression contributes to gut problems.
C. The ENS affects what happens in the brain.
D. Gut problems are different from what they were.
10. What is the benefit of Pasricha’s research
A. It helps to prevent stomach problems.
B. It leads to further brain improvement.
C. It creates new treatment opportunities.
D. It gives a guide for better communication.
11. What do we learn from the last paragraph
A. The research proves quite fruitful.
B. There is still more to learn about mind-gut link.
C. Digestive-system activity has other bad influence.
D. Pasricha is determined to improve people’s memory.
D
By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
12. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
13. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
14. What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
15. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.

Thanksgiving for the Soul
Working as a primary teacher in Pompton Lakes Primary School, New Jersey, I particularly believed in cultivating (培植) love in children from an early age. I wanted children to experience that it’s more blessed to give than to receive. I wanted them to understand that love of society and love of life is not just lip service; that people somehow have to make it come alive. I hoped they could experience a sense of their own power to make a difference.
There was a rural (乡下的) area nearby where a lot of aged people lived in solitude (孤独). They either had no family or their children had left to work in big cities. Most of them lived on government aid to keep body and soul together. An agency, which was in charge of the elder people in this region, had once told me about a needy grandmother, Mrs. Wilson, who had lived alone for many years. I had always desired to do something for her. So I came up with the Thanksgiving plan.
In October, I told the eight-year-olds in my class about my plan. “I’d like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money,” I said. “Then we’ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for a needy grandma who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.”
Early in Thanksgiving week, the boys and girls arrived in class clutching (紧握) their hard-earned money. They had cleared rubbish, set tables, washed dishes, helped with younger siblings. And now they couldn’t wait to go shopping.
I watched while they ran up and down the supermarket aisles (货架通道). At last we headed toward the checkout, pushing a cart filled with turkey and all the trimmings (配料). Then someone spotted a “necessity”—flowers, which caught their attention. All kids ran toward the holiday flowers, with one proposing, “Flowers! We can buy her a bunch of flowers!”
范文抄写
Para. 1 “Flowers may not be as practical as food.” I said. “Food will feed her for the day, but flowers will delight her for days or longer.” one of them insisted. Looking at the bunches of blooming flowers neatly arranged there, sweet scent filling the air, I changed my mind. With my consent, the kids rushed forward, chose a bunch of beautiful purple flowers, and carefully placed it into the cart. Soon we jumped into the car and drove toward Mrs. Wilson’s home. The little ones talked and giggled on the way, unable to hold back their excitement.
Para. 2 With a food box and a bunch of flowers, we finally arrived at Mrs. Wilson’s home. Mrs. Wilson, a little woman with a weary face, came to the door to welcome us. With great hospitality, she led us into her house. Her mouth was widened with great joy as we carried the food box in. When one kid sent her the sweet flowers, she simply couldn’t conceal her excitement, tears glittering in her eyes. Holding the flowers to her nose, she seemed to regain her youth and vigor. At that moment, the kids had found the power they possessed to make another life better. Sometimes a bunch of flowers could nourish another soul on a dark November day.

Sahana Vij, the granddaughter of Indian immigrants (移民), has always been surrounded by food. Her mother taught her to make tasty bread and French toast when she was 5. Now 18, Vij is a self-taught baker who’s sharing her recipes with the world through her new cookbook, Bake Away.

“UCI was a good fit for me because my family is around me,” Vij says. “Family is a really big part of my life — something I can depend on — and I go visit them a lot. Each Bake Away recipe comes from a different city and a different experience I’ve had with my family.”
Her favorite is the U District cake, influenced by the tea she used to share with her mother on their monthly trips to Seattle’s University District. “It’s my whole family’s favorite recipe because it just tastes so good and because we’ve been making it more as a family over the past year. It’s kind of become a family recipe.”
The profits from Bake Away will go to No Kid Hungry, a nonprofit working to end child hunger. “Growing up, my mom and my family were really involved in volunteering, and I always wanted to give back,” Vij says. “I decided to partner with No Kid Hungry, especially because the book involves food.”
4. Why does Vij love baking so much
A It brings her money and fame.
B. It is part of her nature and memories.
C. She wants to make her mother happy.
D. She tries to keep the immigrants tradition.
5. What does the underlined words “hit the shelves” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Was placed on the shelves. B. Became popular.
C. Came into the market. D. Ended up with failure.
6. What contributes to Vij’s book most

C. Her sense of responsibility. D. Her good family relationship.
7. What is the best title for the text

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了大一年级的学生Sahana Vij自学成才，成为了一名面包师，并出版了一本食谱书《Bake Away》，与世界分享自己的食谱。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sahana Vij, the granddaughter of Indian immigrants (移民), has always been surrounded by food. Her mother taught her to make tasty bread and French toast when she was 5. (Sahana Vij是印度移民的孙女，她总是被食物包围着。她5岁时，母亲教她做美味的面包和法式吐司。)”可知，Vij非常喜欢烘焙的原因在于这是她的天性和记忆的一部分。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Featuring 20 of her original recipes, Bake Away has been in the works since her first year of high school. (她从高中一年级开始就开始创作《Bake Away》，其中包括她的20个原创食谱。)”和下文“and was promising to enjoy good sales (并有望大卖)”可知，此处在介绍《Bake Away》这本食谱书的创作历程和受欢迎程度。由此推知，介于二者之间的是其上市的时间，因此hit the shelves意思是“上市，开始出售”，与come into the market意思接近。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Family is a really big part of my life — something I can depend on — and I go visit them a lot. Each Bake Away recipe comes from a different city and a different experience I’ve had with my family. (家人是我生活中很重要的一部分，是我可以依靠的东西，我经常去看望他们。《Bake Away》的每一份食谱都来自不同的城市，以及我和家人的不同经历。)”可知，Vij的这本食谱书承载了和家人一起的各种回忆。由此推知，良好的家庭关系是这本书成功的一大因素。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕Vij和她的食谱书《Bake Away》展开。再结合第一段中“Now 18, Vij is a self-taught baker who’s sharing her recipes with the world through her new cookbook, Bake Away.(现年18岁的Vij是一名自学成才的面包师，她通过自己的新食谱书《Bake Away》与世界分享她的食谱。)”和最后一段中“The profits from Bake Away will go to No Kid Hungry, a nonprofit working to end child hunger.(食谱书《Bake Away》的利润将捐给No Kid Hungry，一个致力于消除儿童饥饿的非营利组织。)”可知，Vij与世界分享食谱并将食谱书《Bake Away》的利润捐给致力于消除儿童饥饿的非营利组织，给世界带来改变。由此可知，A项“Recipe for Change”概括了文章的核心内容，最适合作为标题。故选A项。

If you’ve ever felt “butterflies in your stomach” when nervous, you’re likely getting signals from an unexpected source: your second brain. Hidden in the walls of the digestive system, this “brain in your gut (肠道) ” is revolutionizing medicine’s understanding of the links between digestion, mood and health. Scientists call this little brain the enteric nervous system (ENS 肠神经系统).
The ENS is two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gut. Unlike the big brain in your head, the ENS can’t calculate or compose a love note. “Its main role is controlling digestion,” explains Jay Pasricha, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Center. “The enteric nervous system doesn’t seem capable of thought as we know it, but it communicates back and forth with our big brain.” For decades, researchers and doctors thought that anxiety and depression contributed to gut problems. But Pasricha’s research shows that it can also be the other way around.
Our two brains “talk” to each other, so treatments that help one may help the other. In a way, doctors who treat digestive conditions are like advisors looking for ways to comfort the second brain. Psychological approaches also help to improve communications between the big brain and the brain in our gut.
Pasricha says the research suggests that digestive-system activity may affect thinking skills and memory, too. “This is an area that needs more research, something we hope to do here at Johns Hopkins,” he says.
8. Why does the author mention “butterflies in your stomach” in paragraph 1
A. To show the power of the ENS.
B. To prove the origin of the idiom.
C. To explain why you’re very nervous.
D. To engage the readers with the topic.
9. What does Pasricha’s research tell us
A. The main role of the ENS has changed.
B. Depression contributes to gut problems.
C. The ENS affects what happens in the brain.
D. Gut problems are different from what they were.
10. What is the benefit of Pasricha’s research
A. It helps to prevent stomach problems.
B. It leads to further brain improvement.
C. It creates new treatment opportunities.
D. It gives a guide for better communication.
11. What do we learn from the last paragraph
A. The research proves quite fruitful.
B. There is still more to learn about mind-gut link.
C. Digestive-system activity has other bad influence.
D. Pasricha is determined to improve people’s memory.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明，隐藏在消化系统壁上的“肠道大脑”正在彻底改变医学对消化、情绪和健康之间联系的理解。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“If you’ve ever felt “butterflies in your stomach” when nervous, you’re likely getting signals from an unexpected source: your second brain. Hidden in the walls of the digestive system, this “brain in your gut (肠道) ” is revolutionizing medicine’s understanding of the links between digestion, mood and health.Scientists call this little brain the enteric nervous system(ENS 肠神经系统). (如果你在紧张的时候感到“肚子里七上八下”，你很可能从一个意想不到的来源得到了信号：你的第二大脑。这种隐藏在消化系统壁上的“肠道大脑”正在彻底改变医学对消化、情绪和健康之间联系的理解。科学家称这个小大脑为肠道神经系统。)”可知，作者提到“butterflies in your stomach”的目的是为了向读者引出本文的主题，也就是——隐藏在消化系统壁上的“肠道大脑”正在彻底改变医学对消化、情绪和健康之间联系的理解。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段““Its main role is controlling digestion,” explains Jay Pasricha, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Center. “The enteric nervous system doesn’t seem capable of thought as we know it, but it communicates back and forth with our big brain.” For decades, researchers and doctors thought that anxiety and depression contributed to gut problems. But Pasricha’s research shows that it can also be the other way around.( “它的主要作用是控制消化，”约翰霍普金斯中心主任Jay Pasricha医学博士解释说。“肠道神经系统似乎没有我们所知道的思考能力，但它与我们的大脑来回交流。”几十年来，研究人员和医生认为焦虑和抑郁会导致肠道问题。但Pasricha的研究表明，情况也可能相反。)”可知，肠神经系统会影响大脑。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Our two brains “talk” to each other, so treatments that help one may help the other. In a way, doctors who treat digestive conditions are like advisors looking for ways to comfort the second brain. Psychological approaches also help to improve communications between the big brain and the brain in our gut.(我们的两个大脑相互“交谈”，所以对一个大脑有帮助的治疗可能对另一个大脑也有帮助。在某种程度上，治疗消化疾病的医生就像顾问一样，寻找安慰第二大脑的方法。心理学方法也有助于改善大脑和肠道大脑之间的沟通。)”可知，Pasricha的研究为以后的治疗提供了更多的治疗思路。故选C。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Pasricha says the research suggests that digestive-system activity may affect thinking skills and memory, too. “This is an area that needs more research, something we hope to do here at Johns Hopkins,” he says.( Pasricha说，研究表明，消化系统的活动也可能影响思维能力和记忆力。“这是一个需要更多研究的领域，我们希望在约翰霍普金斯大学做一些事情，”他说。)”可知，关于消化系统和大脑之间的联系，还有更多需要研究的方面。故选B。
D
By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
12. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
13. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
14. What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
15. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了为钢琴演奏者做翻页工作的Robert Titterton和他的工作情况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.(我不是受过训练的音乐家，但我学会了识谱，这样我就可以在Maria的表演中帮助她)”可知，因为Titterton识谱，所以可以在Maria的钢琴表演中为她翻页。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.(这项工作需要很多技能。你必须确保你不会一次翻两页并且必要的时候确保你回到前面找到音乐重复的部分)”可知，为钢琴家翻页这项工作很需要技巧，所以Titterton的工作要求是很高的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.(无声的舞台交流是关键，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来表示翻页，他们需要和翻页者进行练习)”可知，Titterton需要练习识别钢琴演奏者的“点头”示意来翻页。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’(他对音乐很感兴趣，感受着每一个音符，所以我不得不说：“翻页，翻页！”)”可知，Ms Raspopova的丈夫因为对音乐感兴趣，所以帮她翻页的时候总是沉浸在音乐中而忘掉自己的工作，她不得不去提醒。故选D项。

【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：我躲在一个橱柜里，靠他带给我的食物生活，开始了我的“坚忍号”探险。分析句子可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是cupboard，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where。故填where。

【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在我们弃船之前，Shackleton平静地要求我们抢救出最基本的必需品，而不是我们的个人物品。空处应填名词作宾语，supply必需品，可数名词，此处应用复数形式表示泛指，故填supplies。

Students’ union
【答案】Dear fellow students,
Faced with heavy academic arrangements, we have to bury ourselves in study for a long time, which makes our vision gradually decline. Considering its seriousness, I put forward the following initiatives on behalf of the Students’ Union.
In the first place, take advantage of the reasonable schedule that can reduce excessive use of eyes. If so, our eyes won’t be in a fatigue condition. In addition, put regular eye exercises into a good habit. They can relax our eyes, thus reducing the chance of myopia. Above all, stay away from the Internet or mobile phones as far as possible. Otherwise, it will cause shortsightedness easily.
Eyes are the windows of our mind. With them, our life becomes colorful. Please take action immediately to cherish, love, and protect our eyes.

Thanksgiving for the Soul
Working as a primary teacher in Pompton Lakes Primary School, New Jersey, I particularly believed in cultivating (培植) love in children from an early age. I wanted children to experience that it’s more blessed to give than to receive. I wanted them to understand that love of society and love of life is not just lip service; that people somehow have to make it come alive. I hoped they could experience a sense of their own power to make a difference.
There was a rural (乡下的) area nearby where a lot of aged people lived in solitude (孤独). They either had no family or their children had left to work in big cities. Most of them lived on government aid to keep body and soul together. An agency, which was in charge of the elder people in this region, had once told me about a needy grandmother, Mrs. Wilson, who had lived alone for many years. I had always desired to do something for her. So I came up with the Thanksgiving plan.
In October, I told the eight-year-olds in my class about my plan. “I’d like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money,” I said. “Then we’ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for a needy grandma who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.”
Early in Thanksgiving week, the boys and girls arrived in class clutching (紧握) their hard-earned money. They had cleared rubbish, set tables, washed dishes, helped with younger siblings. And now they couldn’t wait to go shopping.
I watched while they ran up and down the supermarket aisles (货架通道). At last we headed toward the checkout, pushing a cart filled with turkey and all the trimmings (配料). Then someone spotted a “necessity”—flowers, which caught their attention. All kids ran toward the holiday flowers, with one proposing, “Flowers! We can buy her a bunch of flowers!”
范文抄写
Para. 1 “Flowers may not be as practical as food.” I said. “Food will feed her for the day, but flowers will delight her for days or longer.” one of them insisted. Looking at the bunches of blooming flowers neatly arranged there, sweet scent filling the air, I changed my mind. With my consent, the kids rushed forward, chose a bunch of beautiful purple flowers, and carefully placed it into the cart. Soon we jumped into the car and drove toward Mrs. Wilson’s home. The little ones talked and giggled on the way, unable to hold back their excitement.
Para. 2 With a food box and a bunch of flowers, we finally arrived at Mrs. Wilson’s home. Mrs. Wilson, a little woman with a weary face, came to the door to welcome us. With great hospitality, she led us into her house. Her mouth was widened with great joy as we carried the food box in. When one kid sent her the sweet flowers, she simply couldn’t conceal her excitement, tears glittering in her eyes. Holding the flowers to her nose, she seemed to regain her youth and vigor. At that moment, the kids had found the power they possessed to make another life better. Sometimes a bunch of flowers could nourish another soul on a dark November day.
