After he received the China Youth May Fourth Medal, Yang Yongxiu felt a greater sense of responsibility.
Born in a rural family in Shangqiu, Henan Province, the first vehicle he drove was a tractor(拖拉机).” When I was a child, my father drove me to the farm during farming season,“ he said. Yang dreamed of making cars when he grew up. “During primary school, I often went to see the buses on the road near my village,” he said.” They made a deep impression on me.”
In 2007, he took gaokao, or China’s national college entrance examination, and scored more than he needed to get into an undergraduate program. To fulfill his dream, he chose to study numerical control technology at the Changchun Automobile Industry Institute, which has a long history of training workers for the automotive industry. After graduation, Yang joined the research and development department at FAW. Since then, the now 35-year-old has specialized in numerical control technology and has mastered the skill of making engine cylinders that meet extremely high standards. So far, Yang has been granted 18 national patents, solved a series of production-related problems and helped increase the group’s revenue by 12 million yuan.
At the beginning of 2020,Yang became a trainer. He is now responsible for teaching young workers and coaching them for competitions. He has trained about 700 people, some of whom have won awards, including 23 at the national level.
“I am happy to have been able to set up such a young team,” he said. “We have an average age of 29, and I believe this will help us come up with more ideas and energize the industry, in addition to developing a spirit of craftsmanship.” Looking ahead, Yang said he has more work to do to bring in more young talents. “I will continue to promote technical ability,” he said. “I hope we can write a new chapter through the power of youth in the future.”
4. What led to Yang’s receiving the China Youth May Fourth Medal?
A. His great contributions in his field. B. His inspiring childhood experiences.
C. His passion for the automotive industry. D. His outstanding performance in his college.
5. Why did Yang choose to study at the Changchun Automobile Industry Institute?
A. To meet his father’s will. B. To learn how to make cars.
C. To save China’s car industry. D. To find a good job after graduation.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The youths will make a big difference in the future.
B China places more emphasis on automobile industry.
C. The youths have made many achievements in many fields.

Earth is lighted up by bioluminescence(生物发光)but，for many of us，seeing the natural phenomenon is a rare treat：Catching the glow(光)of a firefly or witnessing a dolphin swimming through electric blue waters is a thrill.
Researchers are currently engineering glowing flowers and decorative plants that can cast a green light onto our living rooms. Observing plant’s health via its glow can be a way to instantly measure its health,and the side effect is anybody who wants a healthy glowing plant in their living room can have one.
A study published on Monday in Nature Biotechnology shows that this goal is well on its way to being a reality. The study authors announce they’ve created a method that causes plants to glow much brighter,and for a longer period of time,than previous efforts.Plants adapted by this method should be available for purchase within a few years.
The research was conducted through a teamwork between three scientific institutions and Plant,a biotech startup in Moscow.When this team examined a poisonous mushroom,they discovered that caffeic acid is responsible for its bioluminescence. In this new study, the team employed that information and inserted(嵌入)enzymes(酶) —which are specific to the mushroom —into the DNA of tobacco plants.In turn,the enzymes were able to interact with the caffeic acid in the tobacco plants,and cause them to glow both in the dark and in the daylight.
This method,the scientists claimed,made the plants 10 times brighter than previous efforts and the continuous light production didn’t harm the health of the plants. Interestingly, the light decreased as the leaves aged—but it also increased when the leaves were damaged. In turn, the team suggested this method could also help other researchers monitor plant responses to various pressures and changes in the environment. If a plant is short of water or a hungry sheep is harming a plant,bioluminescence could warn of this damage before it’s too late.
8. How can people quickly identify a decorative flower’s health condition?
A. By monitoring its glow. B. By making it greener.
C. By testing the chemicals in it. D. By putting it in the living room.
9. What can we expect of the adapted glowing plants?
A. They may take the place of lamps. B. They will appear on the market.
C. They can light up a whole living room. D. They glow less bright than previous efforts.
10. What did the team do with the mushroom in the new study?
A. They inserted caffeic acid into it. B. They made it give out brighter light.
C. They grew it on the tobacco plants farm. D. They put its enzymes into the tobacco plants.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Warning of potential damage from glowing plants.
B. Increasing light when glowing plants receive damage.
C. Effects of continuous light production on the glowing plants.
D. Benefits of combining specific enzymes with caffeic acid in plants.
D
People who frequently eat fruit are more likely to report greater positive mental wellbeing and are less likely to report symptoms of depression than those who do not, according to new research from the College of Health and Life Sciences, Aston University. The team also found that people who eat savoury (咸味的) snacks such as crisps (薯片), which are low in nutrients, are more likely to report greater levels of anxiety.
Published in the British Journal of Nutrition, the study surveyed 428 adults from across the UK and looked at the relationship between their consumption of fruit, vegetables, sweet and savoury snacks, and their psychological health. The research found that both nutrient rich fruit and nutrient poor savoury snacks appeared to be linked to psychological health. They also found that there was no direct association between eating vegetables and psychological health. Based on the survey, the more often people ate fruit, the lower they scored for depression and the higher for mental wellbeing, independent of the overall quantity of fruit intake. By contrast, there was no link between these everyday memory lapses (差错) and fruit and vegetables intake or sweet snacks, suggesting a unique relationship between these nutrient poor savoury snacks, everyday mental lapses, and psychological health.
Lead author, PhD student Nicola-Jayne Tuck commented, “Very little is known about how diet may affect mental health and wellbeing, and while we did not directly examine causality here, our findings could suggest that frequently snacking on nutrient-poor savoury foods may increase everyday mental lapses, which in turn reduces psychological health.”
“It is possible that changing what we snack on could be a really simple way to improve our mental wellbeing. Conversely, it is also possible that the forthcoming restriction of processed snacks at checkouts, due to come in this October, could not only improve the country’s physical health, but mental health too.”
“Overall, it’s definitely worth trying to get into the habit of reaching for the fruit bowl.”
12. Which may lead to greater level of anxiety?
A. Vegetables. B. Fruit. C. Savoury snacks. D. Grain.
13. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. There is a relation between the nutrient poor snacks and mental health.
B. The more fruit people eat, the lower they scored for depression.
C. Rich fruit appear not to be linked to psychological health.
D. There was a direct link between eating vegetables and psychological health.
14. What does the underlined word “causality” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The relation between fruit and vegetables.
B. The close relation between exercise and health.
C. The relation between snacks and mental health.
D. The relation between diet and mental health and wellbeing.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Eating habits can prevent disease
B. Eating unhealthy snacks often is harmful to health
C. Eating vegetables often can improve mental health
D. Eating fruit often may contribute to positive mental wellbeing

Chloe was 83 years old and lived by the ocean shore in a big beautiful house. She wished her son Steve would visit her, even if for only a day. Of course, the young man had a family of his own now, a darling little daughter Eva, and a business to take care of. Steve got on video calls with Chloe every other day. However, Chloe thought of her son and granddaughter, wishing she was with them. One day, Chloe heard sounds from the neighboring house. Chloe looked through the window and was delighted to see that she had new neighbors.
One morning, when Chloe woke up and walked along the shore, she heard the sounds of water being splashed and the sound of children laughing wildly. She followed the sound and was concerned on finding the twins from the neighboring house standing knee deep in ocean water. Something didn’t feel right. “Why would anyone leave their kids unattended on the shore?” Chloe thought. She grabbed the kids’ hands and walked them to their home. As Chloe opened the door, she found the young mother lying unconscious on the kitchen floor. Chloe didn’t waste a second in calling 911.
The first responders managed to revive (恢复) her consciousness on the spot. “My boys! Ralph! Ray!” the woman cried out to her kids as the ambulance took her away. Chloe said, “Don’t worry. Everything will be alright. I’ll take care of your sweet boys.” She kept her promise and looked after the kids like a grandmother. She took Ralph and Ray in and let them sleep in the bedroom that was specially made for her granddaughter Eva.
It was during these days that she knew that the boys’ father died of illness. Chloe knew that the neighbor, Phoebe, had been trying to make ends meet by selling sweaters and socks that she knit. Looking at Phoebe’s children eat and drink with such joy, she realized how much she longed to see her little Eva. By the time Phoebe came home from the hospital, the kids had already started calling Chloe “Grandma”.

After he received the China Youth May Fourth Medal, Yang Yongxiu felt a greater sense of responsibility.
Born in a rural family in Shangqiu, Henan Province, the first vehicle he drove was a tractor(拖拉机).” When I was a child, my father drove me to the farm during farming season,“ he said.

Earth is lighted up by bioluminescence(生物发光)but，for many of us，seeing the natural phenomenon is a rare treat：Catching the glow(光)of a firefly or witnessing a dolphin swimming through electric blue waters is a thrill.
Researchers are currently engineering glowing flowers and decorative plants that can cast a green light onto our living rooms. Observing plant’s health via its glow can be a way to instantly measure its health,and the side effect is anybody who wants a healthy glowing plant in their living room can have one.
A study published on Monday in Nature Biotechnology shows that this goal is well on its way to being a reality. The study authors announce they’ve created a method that causes plants to glow much brighter,and for a longer period of time,than previous efforts.Plants adapted by this method should be available for purchase within a few years.
The research was conducted through a teamwork between three scientific institutions and Plant,a biotech startup in Moscow.When this team examined a poisonous mushroom,they discovered that caffeic acid is responsible for its bioluminescence. In this new study, the team employed that information and inserted(嵌入)enzymes(酶) —which are specific to the mushroom —into the DNA of tobacco plants.In turn,the enzymes were able to interact with the caffeic acid in the tobacco plants,and cause them to glow both in the dark and in the daylight.
This method,the scientists claimed,made the plants 10 times brighter than previous efforts and the continuous light production didn’t harm the health of the plants. Interestingly, the light decreased as the leaves aged—but it also increased when the leaves were damaged. In turn, the team suggested this method could also help other researchers monitor plant responses to various pressures and changes in the environment. If a plant is short of water or a hungry sheep is harming a plant,bioluminescence could warn of this damage before it’s too late.
8. How can people quickly identify a decorative flower’s health condition?
A. By monitoring its glow. B. By making it greener.
C. By testing the chemicals in it. D. By putting it in the living room.
9. What can we expect of the adapted glowing plants?
A. They may take the place of lamps. B. They will appear on the market.
C. They can light up a whole living room. D. They glow less bright than previous efforts.
10. What did the team do with the mushroom in the new study?
A. They inserted caffeic acid into it. B. They made it give out brighter light.
C. They grew it on the tobacco plants farm. D. They put its enzymes into the tobacco plants.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Warning of potential damage from glowing plants.
B. Increasing light when glowing plants receive damage.
C. Effects of continuous light production on the glowing plants.
D. Benefits of combining specific enzymes with caffeic acid in plants.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】

People who frequently eat fruit are more likely to report greater positive mental wellbeing and are less likely to report symptoms of depression than those who do not, according to new research from the College of Health and Life Sciences, Aston University. The team also found that people who eat savoury (咸味的) snacks such as crisps (薯片), which are low in nutrients, are more likely to report greater levels of anxiety.
Published in the British Journal of Nutrition, the study surveyed 428 adults from across the UK and looked at the relationship between their consumption of fruit, vegetables, sweet and savoury snacks, and their psychological health. The research found that both nutrient rich fruit and nutrient poor savoury snacks appeared to be linked to psychological health. They also found that there was no direct association between eating vegetables and psychological health. Based on the survey, the more often people ate fruit, the lower they scored for depression and the higher for mental wellbeing, independent of the overall quantity of fruit intake. By contrast, there was no link between these everyday memory lapses (差错) and fruit and vegetables intake or sweet snacks, suggesting a unique relationship between these nutrient poor savoury snacks, everyday mental lapses, and psychological health.
Lead author, PhD student Nicola-Jayne Tuck commented, “Very little is known about how diet may affect mental health and wellbeing, and while we did not directly examine causality here, our findings could suggest that frequently snacking on nutrient-poor savoury foods may increase everyday mental lapses, which in turn reduces psychological health.”
“It is possible that changing what we snack on could be a really simple way to improve our mental wellbeing. Conversely, it is also possible that the forthcoming restriction of processed snacks at checkouts, due to come in this October, could not only improve the country’s physical health, but mental health too.”
“Overall, it’s definitely worth trying to get into the habit of reaching for the fruit bowl.”
12. Which may lead to greater level of anxiety?
A. Vegetables. B. Fruit. C. Savoury snacks. D. Grain.
13. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. There is a relation between the nutrient poor snacks and mental health.
B. The more fruit people eat, the lower they scored for depression.
C. Rich fruit appear not to be linked to psychological health.
D. There was a direct link between eating vegetables and psychological health.
14. What does the underlined word “causality” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The relation between fruit and vegetables.
B. The close relation between exercise and health.
C. The relation between snacks and mental health.
D. The relation between diet and mental health and wellbeing.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Eating habits can prevent disease
B. Eating unhealthy snacks often is harmful to health
C. Eating vegetables often can improve mental health
D. Eating fruit often may contribute to positive mental wellbeing
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了经常吃水果的人比不吃水果的人更有可能表现出积极的心理健康，更不容易出现抑郁症状。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The team also found that people who eat savoury snacks such as crisps, which are low in nutrients, are more likely to report greater levels of anxiety.(研究小组还发现，吃薯片等营养含量低的咸味零食的人更有可能出现更严重的焦虑)”可知，营养含量低的咸味零食会更有可能导致更严重的焦虑，结合选项，C项“Savoury snacks.(美味的小吃)”符合。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“By contrast, there was no link between these everyday memory lapses and fruit and vegetables intake or sweet snacks, suggesting a unique relationship between these nutrient poor savoury snacks, everyday mental lapses, and psychological health.(相比之下，这些日常记忆缺失与水果和蔬菜摄入或甜食之间没有联系，这表明这些缺乏营养的美味零食、日常精神缺失和心理健康之间存在着独特的关系)”可知，营养不良的零食与心理健康有一定的关系。故选A项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三度中划线句子的前文“Very little is known about how diet may affect mental health and wellbeing(我们对饮食如何影响心理健康和幸福知之甚少)”以及后文“our findings could suggest that frequently snacking on nutrient-poor savoury foods may increase everyday mental lapses, which in turn reduces psychological health.(我们的研究结果可能表明，经常吃营养不良的咸味食物可能会增加日常精神衰退，从而降低心理健康)”可知，此处是在讲述饮食与心理健康和幸福之间的关系，所以划线单词causality应是“因果关系”之意，也即饮食与心理健康和幸福之间的关系。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“People who frequently eat fruit are more likely to report greater positive mental wellbeing and are less likely to report symptoms of depression than those who do not, according to new research from the College of Health and Life Sciences, Aston University.(阿斯顿大学健康与生命科学学院的一项新研究显示，经常吃水果的人比不吃水果的人更有可能表现出积极的心理健康，更不容易出现抑郁症状)”和最后一段“Overall, it’s definitely worth trying to get into the habit of reaching for the fruit bowl.(总的来说，养成吃水果的习惯绝对值得一试)”以及结合全文可知，本文主要讲述了经常吃水果有助于积极的心理健康，所以D项“Eating fruit often may contribute to positive mental wellbeing(经常吃水果有助于积极的心理健康)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Chloe was 83 years old and lived by the ocean shore in a big beautiful house. She wished her son Steve would visit her, even if for only a day. Of course, the young man had a family of his own now, a darling little daughter Eva, and a business to take care of. Steve got on video calls with Chloe every other day. However, Chloe thought of her son and granddaughter, wishing she was with them. One day, Chloe heard sounds from the neighboring house. Chloe looked through the window and was delighted to see that she had new neighbors.
One morning, when Chloe woke up and walked along the shore, she heard the sounds of water being splashed and the sound of children laughing wildly. She followed the sound and was concerned on finding the twins from the neighboring house standing knee deep in ocean water. Something didn’t feel right. “Why would anyone leave their kids unattended on the shore?” Chloe thought. She grabbed the kids’ hands and walked them to their home. As Chloe opened the door, she found the young mother lying unconscious on the kitchen floor. Chloe didn’t waste a second in calling 911.
The first responders managed to revive (恢复) her consciousness on the spot. “My boys! Ralph! Ray!” the woman cried out to her kids as the ambulance took her away. Chloe said, “Don’t worry. Everything will be alright. I’ll take care of your sweet boys.” She kept her promise and looked after the kids like a grandmother. She took Ralph and Ray in and let them sleep in the bedroom that was specially made for her granddaughter Eva.
It was during these days that she knew that the boys’ father died of illness. Chloe knew that the neighbor, Phoebe, had been trying to make ends meet by selling sweaters and socks that she knit. Looking at Phoebe’s children eat and drink with such joy, she realized how much she longed to see her little Eva. By the time Phoebe came home from the hospital, the kids had already started calling Chloe “Grandma”.

【答案】参考范文：
Phoebe was very moved and struggled to find the words to thank her elderly neighbor. Chloe hugged her and said there was no need to feel indebted to her. “Your kids have ended up making room in my old heart. This house is yours as much as it is mine, darling,” Chloe said. That was the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Chloe and Phoebe. Chloe looked after the kids while Phoebe went to a new job she had found, and Phoebe took care of Chloe like her own mother.
One Thanksgiving, when Chloe and the Phoebes were talking, Chloe’s door was knocked. It was her son Steve and her granddaughter, Eva! Steve thought it would come as a surprise for his mother. However, Steve was speechless, looking at the amount of joy and love around the house. Seeing his mother happier than she had been in years, Steve felt a little guilty for not giving her this happiness sooner. Steve made himself a promise: To become another source of love, belonging, and happiness in his beloved mother’s sunset years.
