21、   Successfully making your morning to-do list could start with the first thing you put it in your mouth.

If you’re feeling like zombie (僵尸) in the morning, an unbalanced breakfast made primarily of simple sugars could be to blame, said Nancy Z. Farrell Allen, a registered nutritionist and spokesperson for the Academy of utrition and Dietetics.

“Carbohydrates — whether from fruits and vegetables or from sweets and cookies-break down to sugar in the body,” said McKel Kooienga, the creator of the Mindful Nutrition Method, via email. “Think of sugar as energy in the body.’

After we eat carbs, the pancreas (胰腺) produces the insulin (胰岛素) hormone to clear the sugar from the bloodstream, Kooienga explained. The type, timing and amount of carbs eaten determines how much sugar is introduced to the bloodstream at one time Simpler or processed carbs — such as muffins or maple syrup — introduce sugar to the blood at faster rate if not eaten with other nutrients like protein and fat, she said, resulting in short-term energy that causes.

Instead, think about delicious eggs, beans and cheese for protein, complex carbs and healthy fats. Or raspberries, oats and coconut for the same benefits.

“A balanced breakfast sets the pace and the tone for the day. It provides food that feeds both our brain and our body so that we can be mentally intact and productive out of the starting gate,” Allen said.

Having low blood sugar levels from regularly not eating breakfast can cause people to constantly reach for sugary and processed foods, which might “lead you down a path with food that can impact your mental health as well,” Kooienga said. That can lead to higher risk of turning to disordered eating behaviors, she added.

The concept of balance, Kooienga said, includes a combination of complex, fiber-rich sources of carbs, protein and healthy fats that would release sugar to the blood at a slower rate, supporting longer-lasting energy.

“There are so many wonderful options at breakfast time that provide the opportunity to explore cultural, delicious, healthy and mindful eating,” Farrell Allen said.

【1】What can we learn about breakfast from the passage?

A．An unbalanced breakfast is the reason for lack of energy in the morning.

B．An unbalanced breakfast will release sugar to the blood slowly.

C．A balanced breakfast may result in low blood sugar level.

【2】Which of the following is advisable for an energetic morning according to the passage?

A．Foods with huge amount of sugar.

B．Foods rich in protein like eggs and cheese.

C．Foods containing processed and complex carbs.

D．Foods containing complex carbs, protein and healthy fats.

【3】Which of the following word may have the similar meaning to the underlined word “intact”?

A．efreshed.

23、Three years into my postdoc (博士后), I started to wonder whether I needed a new career plan. After applying for more than two dozen teaching jobs, I hadn’t landed a single interview.

I had once considered going to art school but had put that idea to the side when I decided to pursue chemistry as an undergraduate. In the years that followed, I kept up my interest in art by taking painting classes at night. My family was bursting with mathematicians, computer programmers, and engineers, so it felt natural to have my daily life center around science.

But in the spring after my failed job search, that started to change after a friend excitedly showed me proofs of a review article. She was astonished by what the journal’s scientific illustrator had done with her fundamental sketches (速写). “That would be such a fun job.” I thought.

I decided to test out a new career direction by volunteering to create similar illustrations for my institute’s newsletters. I spent my nights and weekends reading scientific papers and thinking about how to illustrate the results. It was a fun task. I felt I was perhaps on the right path. But could I make a full-time career work?

Searching online, I tracked down people who had that kind of job. I found many had training through scientific illustration master’s degree programs. After living on graduate student and postdoctoral salaries for years, I didn’t have enough money saved up for the programs, so I decided to get a certificate in digital design.

I now work as a visual designer at a biomedical research institute where I spend my days working with research to communicate their work visually. I love the fact that I get to combine my scientific and artistic sides.

【1】Why did the author attend classes at night?

A．To please her family.

B．To pursue her hobby.

C．To pass her undergraduate tests.

D．To complete optional courses in art.

【2】What effect did the proofs have on the author?

A．They shook her belief in science.

B．They tested out what she learned in class.

C．They motivated her to find a new career direction.

D．They gave her inspiration for her scientific paper.

【3】What prevented the author seeking a scientific illustration master’s degree?

A．Her financial difficulties.

B．Her busy schedule.

C．Her new interest in digital design.

D．Her lack of confidence.

【4】How does the author feel about her current job?

A．Pressured.

B．Curious.

C．Desperate.

D．Satisfied.

24、Folklore (民间传说) has long been passed down from one generation to the next, holding families and communities together. But the National Trust has warned that advances in technology are causing traditional folklore to die out as it’s no longer related to modern life. It said that in a world filled with smartphones and the Internet, legends (传说) of magical blacksmiths (铁匠) were no longer of interest to children who have never put coal on the fire.

Jessica Monaghan, the National Trust’s Head of Experiences and Programming, called on the public to share their knowledge of folklore from different areas of the UK in an effort to keep it alive.“These legends and traditions tell us so much about our ancestors and their relationship with the world around them and help us appreciate the history and symbolism in the places where we live now,” she said.“Through these legends, we can explore what makes communities around the UK unique and what has tied us together for generations.”

“In the 16th century, the walnut (核桃) was considered as a treatment for brain illnesses simply because they are similar in shape. Few people today would believe this as we now have advanced medical knowledge and scientific methods,” said Dee Dee Chainey, author of A Treasury of British Folklore. But she thinks there are still chances for folklore as many people attempt to unearth old legends and efforts are becoming common.

Folklore should be rewritten and retold in new ways with new heroes and new lessons that are related to modern life. And that’s what folklore is about: taking the old wisdom and traditions and redescribing them for who we are and the lives we now have.

【1】What problem is described in the first paragraph?

A．The influence of folklore on children.

B．Children’s addiction to the Internet.

C．Folklore’s gradual disappearance in modern life.

D．The functions of folklore.

【2】What do Jessica Monaghan’s words intend to stress?

A．The value of folklore.

B．The importance of knowledge.

C．The attraction of legends.

D．The greatness of our ancestors.

【3】What does Dee Dee Chainey think of folklore?

A．It is likely to make a comeback.

B．It will be left behind by people.

C．It is a threat to science’s position.

D．It makes no difference to people today.

【4】What is the author’s suggestion according to the last paragraph?

A．Holding on to old traditions and following them.

B．Increasing efforts to promote traditional folklore.

C．Preserving folklore by making suitable adaptations.

D．Improving children’s access to education on folklore.

26、阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成个完整的故事。

Grandma got Grandpa out of bed and helped him to the kitchen for breakfast. After his meal, she led him to his armchair in the living room where he would rest while she cleaned the dishes. Every so often, she would check to see if he needed anything.

This was their daily routine after Grandpa’s latest stroke. Although once a very active man, his severely damaged left arm, difficulty walking and slurred speech now kept him housebound. For nearly a year he hadn’t even been to church or to visit family.

Grandpa filled his hours with television. He watched the news and game shows while Grandma went about her day. They made a promise — he was not to leave his chair or his bed without her assistance.

“If you fell and I threw my back out trying to help you, who would take care of us?” Grandma would ask him. She was resolved they should take care of themselves and live independently. The Brooklyn brownstone had been their first home and held wonderful memories. They weren’t ready to leave it behind anytime soon.

Immigrants from Ireland, they had met and married in America. Grandma was friendly, outgoing and unselfish; Grandpa was reserved, a man devoted to his family, but he wasn’t big on giving gifts. While he wouldn’t think twice about giving Grandma the shirt off his back, he had the belief that if you treated your wife well throughout the year, presents weren’t necessary; so he rarely purchased gifts for her.

It was a cold, gray February morning, a typical winter’s day in New York. As always, Grandma walked Grandpa to his chair. “I’m going to take a shower now.” She handed him the television remote. “If you need anything, I’ll be back in a little while.”

After her shower, she glanced towards the back of Grandpa’s recliner but noticed that his cane was not leaning in its usual spot. Sensing something unusual, she went into the room. He was gone. The closet door stood open and his hat and overcoat were missing. Fear ran down her spine. Grandma threw a coat over her bathrobe and ran outside.
