The Best of Alaska
Nothing evokes (唤起) Alaska like a whale exploding out of the water or an eagle pulling a silver fish from the bine these images with high mountains, and wonderful meals, and you really do have the Best of Alaska! Join us for an unforgettable 7-day journey to the last border!
HIGHLIGHTS:
JUNEAU: Juneau, the state capital, is rich in culture and scenic beauty. It is here that we start and end our trip.
HAINES: Haines is a small community located along the fiords (峡湾). The natural beauty and expansive wilderness found here have made Haines a most important center for adventure in Alaska. In 2004, Haines was listed by Outside Magazine and National Geographic Adventure as one of the best places for recreation and living.
ALASKA INDIAN ARTS: Alaska Indian Arts is a nonprofit corporation devoted to the preservation and continuation of traditional native craft and culture of the Northwest Native Tribes. Alaska Indian Arts is also the headquarters for several of Alaska’s outstanding craftsmen. We spend a few hours learning carving, native beading (串珠饰) and culture from these master artists.
SKAGWAY: Skagway is famous for its role in the Klondike Gold Stampede over 100 years ago. Today, it is a historic yet lively town, which still reflects its gold rush roots and contains colorful shops. In Skagway, we stop by the Klondike Gold Rush National Park Visitor’s Center and ride the White Pass Yukon Route Railway.

It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.
Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground. “Pairs’s eyes rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”
It certainly was. Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR ”
CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen,the brain is damaged quickly.
Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR. “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.
Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic device (器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’s heartbeat returned.
“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life.”
Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”
15. What happened to Paris on a March day
A. She caught a bad cold.
B. She had a sudden heart problem.
C. She was knocked down by a ball.
D. She shivered terribly during practice.
16. Why does Paris say she was lucky

B. She recovered from shock.
C. She received immediate CPR.
D. She came back on the softball team.
17. Which of the following words can best describe Taylor
A. Enthusiastic and kind.
B. Courageous and calm.
C. Cooperative and generous.
D. Ambitious and professional.
C
While many people aren’t getting enough calcium (钙), new research cautions that some people may have the opposite problem: They could be getting too much. Americans spend more than $1 billion a year on calcium supplements (补充剂) in hopes of delaying osteoporosis, the brittle bone disease that cripples many elderly women and some men. Yet recent studies link calcium supplements to a higher risk of heart attacks. Last month, the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force issued a draft recommendation against taking calcium and vitamin D, saying there wasn’t enough evidence of benefit to justify the risk.
For generations of Americans who grew up encouraged to drink milk to maintain strong bones, the reports raised troubling questions: Is calcium not so important after all Are the supplements unsafe And how much is too much “It’s gotten very confusing but it doesn’t need to be,” says Ethel Siris, director of the Toni Stabile Osteoporosis Center in New York. How much calcium people need varies by age and gender. “Adults generally need 1,000 mg daily, rising to 1,200 mg for women over 50 and men over 70, according to guidelines issued in 2010. Children need 1,300 mg daily during the peak growing years of 9 to 18. ”
People also need sufficient levels of vitamin D to absorb the calcium. The IOM recommends 600 international units a day for most adults, and 800 daily after age 70, although many physicians recommend more. It is difficult to take in that much vitamin D from food sources, so experts say many people should take vitamin D in supplement form.
Getting adequate (充足的) calcium from food is easier. For example, 8 ounces of milk or 6 ounces of yogurt has 300 mg of calcium, and one cup of spinach has 270 mg.
But studies linking calcium supplements to heart attack have made experts more cautious of excess calcium than before. A study of 24,000 Germans published in the journal Heart last month, found that those who got their calcium exclusively from supplements were more than twice as likely to have a heart attack as those who took no supplements.
Exactly how calcium supplements might contribute to heart attacks baffles cardiologists (心脏病学家). “Nobody has associated the calcium in your bloodstream with calcification (钙化) in your arteries,” says Nieca Goldberg, medical director of the Joan H. Tisch Center. Still, she says she now urges patients get their recommended calcium from food than from supplements to avoid possible problems.
Osteoporosis experts also urge patients not to take more than the recommended amount of calcium. “People should definitely stop taking two big calcium supplements a day,” says Dr. Dawson-Hughes. Even if the risks remain unclear, taking more than the body can absorb doesn’t benefit bones, “so it’s not worth any risk. ” She adds.
18. What is Ethel Siris’ opinion on taking calcium supplements
A. Taking calcium supplements is unsafe.
B. Adults need more calcium than children.
C. Age and gender determine how much calcium is needed.
D. It is safer to take calcium from food than from supplements.
19. What does the underlined word “baffle” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Interest. B. Amaze. C. Frighten. D. Puzzle.
20. What can we learn from the passage
A. Taking two calcium supplements a day is good for health.
B. It might be wiser to take recommended calcium from food.
C. It is easy for people to obtain enough Vitamin D from food.
D. The benefits of taking calcium supplements outweigh its risks.
D
Wilderness
“In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world.” This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these ”ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.
I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.
21. John Sauven holds that_____.
A. many people value nature too much
B. exploitation of wildernesses is harmful
C. wildernesses provide humans with necessities
D. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong
22. What is the main idea of Para. 3
A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.
B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.
C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.
D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.
23. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Sceptical. D. Optimistic.
24. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) : Conclusion
A. B. C. D.

Can We Stop Food Longing Through Imaginary Eating
Are you fighting an urge to reach for chocolate Then, let it melt in your mind, not in your mouth. According to the recent research, imagining eating a specific food reduces your interest in that food, so you eat less of it.
This reaction to repeated exposure to food—being less interested in something because you’ve experienced it too much—is called habituation. _____25_____
The research is the first to show that habituation can occur through the power of the mind. “If you just think about the food itself—how it tastes and smells—that will increase your appetite,” said Carey Morewedge, a well-known psychologist. “It might be better to force yourself to repeatedly think about chewing and swallowing the food in order to reduce your longing. _____26_____ Visualizing yourself eating chocolate wouldn’t prevent you from eating lots of cheese,” he added.
Morewedge conducted an interesting experiment. 51 subjects were divided into three groups. One group was asked to imagine putting 30 coins into a laundry machine and then eating three chocolates. _____27_____ Another group was asked to imagine putting three coins into a laundry machine and then eating 30 chocolates. Lastly, a control group imagined just putting 33 coins into the machine—with no chocolates. _____28_____ When they said they had finished, these were taken away and weighed. The results showed the group that had imagined eating 30 chocolates each ate fewer of the chocolates than the other groups.
_____29_____ Physical signals—that full stomach feeling—are only part of what tells us we’ve finished a meal. The research suggests that psychological effects, such as habituation, also influence how much a person eats. It may lead to new behavioral techniques for people looking to eat more healthily, or have control over other habits.
A. What’s more, this only works with the specific food you’ve imagined.
B. People were advised to try different methods to perform the experiment.
C. For example, a tenth bite is desired less than the first bite, according to the study.
D. All of them then ate freely from bowls containing the same amount of chocolate each.
E. It meant those who repeatedly imagined eating would concern about some specific food.
F. This requires the same motor skills as eating small chocolates from a packet, the study says.
G. This study is part of the research looking into what makes us eat more than we actually need.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
Is it better for our bodies to work out at certain times of the day Scientists have known for some time that every tissue in our bodies contains a kind of biological clock that goes off in response to messages related to our daily exposure to light, food and sleep.
However, whether and how exercise timing might influence metabolic (新陈代谢的) health has been less clear, and the results of past experiments have not always agreed. A much-discussed 2019 study found that men with Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) who completed a few minutes of high-intensity interval (间隔) sessions in the afternoon improved their blood-sugar control after two weeks. Patrick Schrauwen, a professor of nutrition and movement sciences read that 2019 study with interest. He had been studying exercise in people with Type 2 diabetes, but had not considered the possible role of timing. Now, seeing the varying impacts of the intense workouts, he wondered if the timing of workouts might similarly affect how the workouts changed people’s metabolisms.
Incidentally, he and his colleagues had a ready-made source of data in their own prior experiment. Several years earlier, they had asked adult men at high risk for Type 2 diabetes to ride stationary bicycles at the lab three times a week for 12 weeks, while the researchers tracked their metabolic health. They also had noted when the riders showed up for their workouts. The researchers pulled data for the 12 men who consistently had worked out between 8 and 10 a.m. and compared them with another 20 who always exercised between 3 and 6 p.m. They found that the benefits of afternoon workouts far outweighed those of morning exercise.
He says, “This study does suggest that afternoon exercise may be more beneficial for people with disturbed metabolisms than the same exercise done earlier. The particular and most effective exercise for each of us will line up with our daily routines and exercise tendencies because exercise is good for us at any time of day—but only if we choose to keep doing it.”
40. What inspired Professor Schrauwen to carry out the research related to the timing of workouts
41. What did Schrauwen’s new study figure out
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Professor Schrauwen and his colleagues carried out the research by using the newly-collected data and making comparisons between two different subject groups.
43. When do you think is the best time for you to exercise Why (about 40 words)

推理判断题。根据第五段第二行“Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR”以及第六段整段中队友的协助,得到了及时CPR救助的Paris“heartbeat returned”, 所以Paris说自己非常的幸运。倒数第二段,“Experts say Paris is right。 For a sudden failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly”,专家的话也印证了Paris获得了及时的救助,故C项正确。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第二行“But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR。”说明Taylor非常的勇敢,在没有人出来帮忙以及自己对自己不那么自信的情况下,她还是跑去救助了Paris。由第五段第三行Taylor 的话“It was scary。 I knew it was the difference between life and death。”以及第六段首句“Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down。”可知,Taylor是一个勇敢并且冷静的女孩,面对这种情况,她没有慌乱,用自己学习到的急救知识迅速行动并用自己的举动感染了队友,使她们镇静下来帮忙救助,故B项正确。

词句猜测题。根据第五段“A study of 24,000 Germans published in the journal Heart last month, found that those who got their calcium exclusively from supplements were more than twice as likely to have a heart attack as those who took no supplements.(上个月发表在《心脏》杂志上的一项针对24000名德国人的研究发现,那些完全从补充剂中摄入钙的人患心脏病的可能性是那些不服用补充剂的人的两倍多)”以及第六段“Nobody has associated the calcium in your bloodstream with calcification in your arteries(没有人将血液中的钙与动脉中的钙化联系起来)”可知,补钙会导致心脏病已经有了可能性,但是目前还没有确定的证据证实,这样心脏病学家们感到迷惑不解。由此可知,划线词baffles与D项“puzzle(使迷惑)”表达的含义一致。故选D项。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even if the risks remain unclear, taking more than the body can absorb doesn’t benefit bones, “so it’s not worth any risk.”(即使风险尚不清楚,摄入超过身体吸收能力的食物对骨骼也没有好处,“所以不值得冒险。”)”可推出,从食物中摄取足够的钙是更加明智的。故选B项。

【分析】本文是一篇选句填空。文章介绍了心理因素对人们饮食数量的影响,例如“习惯化”。
【25题详解】
根据横线前面一句This reaction to repeated exposure to food—being less interested in something because you’ve experienced it too much—is called habituation.可知,当我们多次接触到某一食物的时候,我们对它的兴趣就会减少,因为我们已经熟悉了它。,C项:For example, a tenth bite is desired less than the first bite, according to the study.(例如,根据这项研究,第十口要比第一口少。)是对前面理论的举例说明,故选C。
【26题详解】
根据横线后面一句Visualizing yourself eating chocolate wouldn’t prevent you from eating lots of cheese可知,想象自己吃巧克力的样子不会阻止你吃奶酪。也就是说我们要想象自己吃某种具体的食物,这样才会减少你对这种食物的渴望。A项:What’s more, this only works with the specific food you’ve imagined.(而且,这只适用于你想象中的特定食物。)恰好与此吻合,故选A。
【27题详解】
根据本段前面两句Morewedge conducted an interesting experiment. 51 subjects were divided into three groups.可知,研究人员对此问题进行了分组研究。第一组的研究对象被要求想象把30个硬币扔进洗衣机,然后想象吃了3个巧克力。这和从口袋里拿出巧克力来吃有类似的运动神经技巧,所以研究人员才会这样开展研究。F项:This requires the same motor skills as eating small chocolates from a packet, the study says.(这项研究称,这需要和吃小巧克力一样的运动技能。)符合文意,故选F。
【28题详解】
根据本段最后一句The results showed the group that had imagined eating 30 chocolates each ate fewer of the chocolates than the other groups.可知,在这些人吃完以后,进行称重。结果发现想象每次吃了30个巧克力的人实际上吃了最少。也就是说在他们实验结束以后,会让他们自由地吃巧克力。D项:All of them then ate freely from bowls containing the same amount of chocolate each.(然后,他们所有人都可以自由地从盛有相同数量巧克力的碗中进食。)符合文意,故选D。
【29题详解】
根据本段第三句The research suggests that psychological effects, such as habituation, also influence how much a person eats.可知,本次研究说明心理方面的因素会影响人们吃的东西的量。由此可见这个研究是关于人们饮食数量的话题。G项:This study is part of the research looking into what makes us eat more than we actually need.(这项研究是研究什么使我们吃得比实际需要的多的研究的一部分。),故选G。

【30题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:周日早上,北京居民一觉醒来就看到了黄色的天空,中国北方遭遇了(正在遭遇)十年来最大的沙尘暴。此处缺乏谓语,动词hit意为“袭击”,和主语northern China构成被动关系,主语是单数,谓语也用单数形式。根据“Beijing residents woke up to yellow sky on Sunday morning”可知,此处是讲过去的事,可以用一般过去时的被动语态;也可以表示中国北方先遭遇了沙尘暴,北京居民一觉醒来就看到了黄色的天空,即“过去的过去”,这样应使用过去完成时的被动语态;还可以表示中国北方正在遭遇沙尘暴,北京居民一觉醒来就看到了黄色的天空,这样应使用过去进行时的被动语态。故填was hit/had been hit/was being hit。
【31题详解】
考查比较级。句意:北京市环境监测中心的数据显示,上午8点,空气污染指数升至500的上限,部分地区能见度降至不到1000米。根据than可知,此处应用比较级。故填less。
【32题详解】
考查宾语从句引导词。句意:北京市气象局建议居民尽量待在室内,同时专家们正在调查沙尘暴是如何(为何)形成的。介词out后接宾语从句,根据“experts are working to find out”可知,此处是指调查沙尘暴是如何形成的或为何形成的,所以应用how或why引导宾语从句。故填how/why。
【答案】33. that
34. to experience
35. traveling/travelling
【解析】

【37题详解】

【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:她们穿越两个种植小麦的省份,看到一片片广阔的农场。分析句子结构,这是一个包含非限制性定语从句的复合句,因先行词province在句子作状语表示地点,应使用关系副词引导定语从句,故填where。

Patrick Schrauwen, a professor of nutrition and movement sciences read that 2019 study with interest.(2019年一项备受争议的研究发现,2型糖尿病患者在下午完成几分钟的高强度间歇训练后,两周后血糖控制得到了改善。营养和运动科学教授帕特里克·施劳文饶有兴趣地阅读了2019年的这项研究。)”可知,是2019年的这项研究促使施劳文教授进行这项与锻炼时间有关的研究的,故答案为The 2019 study.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“They found that the benefits of afternoon workouts far outweighed those of morning exercise.(他们发现下午锻炼的好处远远大于早晨锻炼的好处。)”以及第四段“This study does suggest that afternoon exercise may be more beneficial for people with disturbed metabolisms than the same exercise done earlier.(这项研究确实表明,下午锻炼对代谢紊乱的人可能比早些时候做同样的锻炼更有益。)”可知,教授的新研究发现对于一些人来讲,在下午运动会更好,故答案为For some people, it is better to work out in the afternoon.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Incidentally, he and his colleagues had a ready-made source of data in their own prior experiment. Several years earlier, they had asked adult men at high risk for Type 2 diabetes to ride stationary bicycles at the lab three times a week for 12 weeks, while the researchers tracked their metabolic health. (顺便说一句,他和他的同事在他们之前的实验中有现成的数据来源。几年前,他们曾要求患有2型糖尿病的高风险成年男性每周在实验室骑3次固定自行车,持续12周,而研究人员则跟踪他们的代谢健康状况。”)可知,Schrauwen教授和他的同事没有收集任何新的数据来做研究。他们利用了自己先前实验中现成的数据来源,故答案为Professor Schrauwen and his colleagues carried out the research by using the newly-collected data and making comparisons between two different subject groups.
According to the passage, Professor Schrauwen and his colleagues didn’t collect any new data to do the research. They made use of the ready-made source of data from their own prior experiment.
