At the time of year when the sun’s daily appearance is often short-lived, the following warm places in Washington State can be your choices.

Alderbrook Resort & Spa

Less than a two-hour drive from Seattle, located on the edge of the Hood Canal, a nature-filled retreat（休养处）is waving.

Seattle-area Retreat

Salish Lodge &. Spa is a scenic 30-minute drive from Seattle, bringing you to a lodge integrating Old World atmosphere and modern elegance.

Late last year, I needed to transport some furniture from our house to my son’s flat in central London. I should have paid a man to do it, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a lorry and drive it myself.

Moving the lorry backward in my yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. Fortunately, I owned the shed. I loaded up with the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously.

At last I arrived at Charlotte Street and found an available parking space. I moved the lorry into it only to notice three people at a pavement cafe waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who had just finished a stormy Atlantic crossing. “You’ve hit the car parked behind you,” they said. I examined the car. There were white scratches on its front face. It bore a disabied sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the severe look of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged car’s windscreen, giving my phone number.

I unloaded the furniture, dripping the sweat, wanting only to escape from the monster. I drove it back to its base at Edgware. On arrival, the boss told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. “Just charge me,” I cried, still shaking with fear. He stared at me with understanding. No doubt he’d witnessed others in this state before. “How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up and I drive it back?” he asked.

He danced the great lorry through the traffic so carefully that it would have shamed me if I had not been so grateful.

24. The man felt ______ after having delivered the furniture himself.

A. grateful    B. proud     C. confident    D. regretful

25. The man said he was a bad man most probably because ______.

A. he shouldn’t have driven the lorry himself   B. he made the traffic accident on purpose

C. he shouldn’t have caused trouble for the disabled  D. he parked the big lorry on the pavement

26. Which of the following is true?

A. The boss drove the man to ill up the car with petrol.  B. Driving the lorry was too difficult for the boss.

C. The man caused two terrible traffic accidents.   D. Three people helped the man to unload the furniture.

27. The writer intended to suggest that ______.

A. it was easy to drive a lorry       B. being too confident is foolish

C. it was hard to avoid accidents      D. the boss was expert in driving

C

Technically, many of the healthy foods we eat are processed, but not in the way you might think. For example, if you have a Mason jar full of organic dried beans, you have processed food in your fridge. Frozen vegetables are processed, even if you picked the vegetables from your garden, blanched（焯水）them and put them in the fridge. The moment you blanched them, you processed them. When we say we shouldn’t eat processed foods, what we really mean is ultra-processed foods.

What are ultra-processed foods? If I made flatbread at home, I would make it with materials like flour, yeast, milk, butter and salt. I keep whole-grain flatbread in my freezer because it deteriorates quickly. Healthy meals for sure. But I normally buy them from the grocery store, and while the bread I buy contains almost the same materials as a homemade version, it also includes the dextrose, type of sugar, and some other additives Then it can be called an ultra-processed one.

If we ate ultra-processed foods only occasionally, it wouldn’t be as big of a problem. However, researchers indicated that almost 58% of the calories Americans consume are from ultra-processed foods. A study found people who increased their daily intake of ultra-processed food by 10% increased their risk of developing overall cancer by 12% and breast cancer by 11%.

While the study didn’t identify the exact reason why ultra-processed foods cause a higher risk of cancer, researchers did have several theories. One theory is that the foods contain high levels of salt, sugar and fat. Those materials have been linked to overweight, which can also lead to a greater risk of cancer. A second theory is that some ultra-processed foods contain certain additives that lead to cancers. Also another theory is high temperatures used to process the food can create newly formed pollutant. Finally, bpa（Bisphenol A）（双酚 A）is commonly used in food packaging and can leak into the food.

While further studies are needed to know the exact reasons why ultra-processed foods can have such an impact on health, it’s safe to say that the consequences of eating them outweigh the benefits.

28. Which of the following is an ultra-processed food?

A. Flatbread from stores. B. Frozen vegetables. C. Organic died beans.  D. Homemade flatbread.

29. What does the underlined word “deteriorates” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Runs out.    B. Breaks out.   C. Goes bad.    D. Gets round.

30. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A. All the additives in the food can cause deadly diseases.

B. Food package will not be a constant matter of concern for us.

C. Reasons for cancers caused by ultra-processed foods are definite.

D. Too much sugar, salt, and fat contribute to overweight, and even cancers.

31. What’s the author’s attitude to the ultra-processed food?

A. Supportive    B. Neutral   C. Disapproving   D. Unconcerned

D

Taking photographs at a birthday or a wedding has become as natural as blowing out candles or cutting the cake. But our obsession（痴迷）with recording every detail of our happiest moments could be damaging our ability to remember them, according to a new research. A study has shown that taking pictures rather than concentrating fully on the events in front of us prevents memories taking hold.

Dr. Linda Henkel, from Fairfield University, Connecticut, described it as the “photo-taking impairment effect”. She said: “People so often pull out their cameras almost mindlessly to capture a moment, to the point where they are missing what is happening right in front of them. When people rely on technology to remember for them—counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves—it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences.”

Dr. Henkel and her team carried out an experiment in a museum, to learn if taking pictures of the exhibits was hindering（阻碍）the ability of visitors to remember what they had seen.

A group of university students were led on a tour at the Bellarmine Museum of Art at Fairfield University and were asked to either photograph or remember objects on display. The next day their memory was tested. The results showed that people were less accurate in recognizing the objects they had photographed than those they had only looked at. It was found that their memory for the details of the objects they had photographed was poorer.

Henkel’s lab is currently investigating whether the content of a photo, such as whether you are in it, affects later memory. She is also researching whether actively choosing what to photograph might influence what we remember.

Previous research suggests that reviewing photos we have taken does help us remember the objects, but only if we take the time.

“Research has suggested that the sheer volume and lack of organization of digital photos for personal memories discourages many people from accessing and recalling them. In order to remember, we have access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” said Dr. Henkel.

32. What does the word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Gifts a birthday.       B. People who go to parties.

C. Photos taken at a wedding.     D. Details of the happiest moments.

33. What is the “photo-taking impairment effect”?

A. Some unhappy events may weaken the effects of photos.

B. Taking photographs of objects ruins one’s memory of them.

C. The effects of photos are strongly affected by bad cameras.

D. Memories last forever when people take the photos they like most.

34. What can we learn about Dr. Linda Herkel’s study?

A. A group of high school students were involved.

B. The memory of participants was tested the following week.

C. People who just looked at the objects remembered fewer details.

D. People who photographed objects were worse at recognizing them.

35. The passage is probably taken from ______.

A. a health magazine B. a cultural overview  C. an economics report  D. an entertainment website

第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

There are certain steps you can take to relieve the damage done by some of the previously mentioned reading problems.    36    Be sure to use and practice them as you read.

Take breaks.

Remember tiredness can lead to all of the health problems and to other problems as well. If you do not rest your mind, you will likely get tired and it will cost you points.

Trace your place.

You can mark your place either by pointing to each word as you read it, or by placing a sheet of paper underneath the line you are reading. Pointing to each word with a pencil or your finger helps your eyes see where they should be reading.    37  

Read aloud.

   38    If you must remain silent, whisper the words to yourself, or mouth the words, and say them in your head. It is important that you actually hear the sounds, even if you only hear them in your imagination. This multisensory approach allows you to see, hear, and feel what you are reading. Reading aloud should help you stay focused, understand better and remember what you are reading.

   39  

If you are thinking about what is important enough to write down, you will pay more attention to the reading.    40    It will also help you process the main point of the passage and improve the possibility that you will remember things. In addition, the notes you take are a record of the passage that you can refer back to if you do forget elements.

A. Take notes.

B. Highlight text.

C. This will keep your mind from wandering.

D. Notes about the entire passage should be written.

E. Just knowing about these techniques is not enough.

F. If you’re in your own room, you can say each word aloud.

G. Placing a piece of paper under the line helps you to move smoothly from one line to the next.
