阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
There is a wide range of “last chance tourism” destinations around the planet, many of which are threatened by the effect of global warming.
Glaciers Of Glacier National Park, Montana
The worldfamous Glacier National Park spreads over a million acres in Montana. The park welcomes about 3 million visitors each year to its unique ecosystem. However, its glaciers are quickly shrinking in size, and continue to affect the ecosystem with the nonstop melting. At today's global warming rates, these glaciers will disappear in the next few decades.
Snow On Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Kilimanjaro, the “Root of Africa”， dominates the tropical landscape of Tanzania in Africa. It is a destination for the climbers wishing to conquer Kilimanjaro's peak at 5，895 meters above sea level. The mountain's steep walls used to be fully covered in ice sheets while today they sit nearly bare, having lost 85% of the coverage due to the everrising temperatures. It is highly likely to lose all the snow in just 20 years.
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Rio, surrounded by amazing coastlines, is a tourist hotspot in Brazil with colored cityscape and diverse culture. Many know Rio for the Carnival festival with dazzling events. Climate experts project a sealevel rise of 32 inches around Rio and floods that will cover the city's famous beaches, and some inland neighborhoods by 2100.
The Dead Sea, Jordan/Israel
The Dead Sea, the lowest point on the earth, is a renowned wellness destination for healing and relaxation. The sea is a fascinating 997feetdeep natural wonder with no marine life. The highsalt content makes floating effortless and relaxing, as well as great for skin conditions. However, the increasingly hot and dry climate speeds up the rate of evaporation, making it a dry land by 2050.
21．What can be learned from the Glacier National Park?
A．It has lost 85 percent of the ice sheets.
B．What appeals to visitors is its unique climate.
C．Global warming is making glaciers disappear.
D．The ecosystem suffers little from the glacier melting.
22．How is Rio different from the other three destinations?
A．The climate is changing hotter and drier.
B．It is a big city threatened by global warming.
C．Glaciers nearby are becoming higher than before.
D．People are losing interest in its tropical landscape.
23．Which destination best suits visitors seeking skin health benefits?

C．Rio De Janeiro. D．The Dead Sea.

My wife's birthday falls at the beginning of spring when the winter chill still hangs over the approaching warmth.
On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. “Has Lily called？” she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.
Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum's birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn't sleep well last night.”
Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday！” she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, “You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time? Don't you know it is cold outside？”
Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child's growth.
Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: “How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained？”
24．What does the underlined word “oppressive” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Relaxing. B．Funny. C．Unique. D．Heavy.
25．What can be inferred about the woman in Paragraph 3?
A．Watching TV is her daily routine. B．She set her phone in silent mode.
C．Some anxiety is felt of the woman. D．She wasn't satisfied with her dinner.
26．Why did Lily burst into tears on seeing her mother?
A．She was overjoyed to see her mother.
B．She felt sorry about forgetting her mother's birthday.
C．She feared to be scolded for ignoring her parents' love.
D．She pitied herself for being halffrozen all the way back.
27．What message is conveyed from the words of the author's parents?
A．Love is a twoway street. B．Birthday party is a must.
C．Parental love is for a return. D．It is never too late to say sorry.
C
A recent scientific report said the chemical pollutants are supersizing the global obesity epidemic.
The idea that the chemical pollutants called “obesogens” can affect how the body controls weight is not yet part of mainstream treatments. But scientists behind the report argue that the evidence is now so strong that it should be. The most disturbing aspect of the evidence is that some chemical impacts that increase weight can be passed down through generations by changing how genes work.
Obesogens can disturb the body's metabolism (新陈代谢), making gaining weight easier and losing weight harder. The body's balance of energy intake and consumption through activity relies on the interplay of various hormones from fat tissue, the gut, etc. The pollutants can directly affect the number and size of fat cells and alter the signals that make people feel full. They can also cause weight gain by making the uptake of calories from the gut more efficient.
“It turns out chemicals in the environment have these side effects，” said Prof Robert Luis at the University of New York, “This research is vital because the current clinical management of obese patients is clearly insufficient.”
“The focus of the clinical people is on calories—if you eat more calories, you're going to be fatter，” says Dr Heindel, “So they wait until you get obese, and then they'll look at giving you diets, drugs, or surgery. If that really worked, we should see a decline in the rates of obesity，” he said. “But we don't—obesity continues to rise, especially in children. The real question is, why do people eat more? The research focuses on it and provides data indicating that these chemicals are the real reason.”
Furthermore, the approach offers the potential to prevent obesity by avoiding exposure to pollutants, especially in pregnant (怀孕) women and babies. Prevention saves lives while costing far less than any treatment.
28．What harm do obesogens do to human's health?
A．Affecting the brain's work. B．Causing deadly diseases.
C．Making food polluted. D．Damaging weight control.
29．Why is the current clinical management mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A．To list a dissatisfying way to treat obesity. B．To present the side effects of obesogens.
C．To prove more calories leading to obesity. D．To show the achievement made nowadays.
30．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Getting obese. B．Giving treatments. C．Changing fat cells. D．Reducing obesity.
31．What influence will the study bring about?
A．Inspiring more doctors to study obesity.
B．Raising a public concern for the babies' birth.
C．Making the treatment for obesity medicinefree.
D．Improving the clinical management of obese patients.
D
According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's digital economy has increased by 15.9 percent annually since 2012, reaching 45.5 trillion yuan ($6.32 trillion) last year. Facing the growing digital economy and new vacancies developed in the sector such as deliverymen and livestreaming anchors (主播), young people, especially those born after 2000, are expressing a stronger willingness for flexible work relations with companies, and also wish to become “digital workers” with flexible work locations and schedules.
“The Internet helps me a lot. I check emails from my clients and submit my proposals through WeChat, then we discuss plans via teleconference. I love working from home actually，” said Mi Lu, a 28yearold new media operator in Beijing. “We work everywhere, perhaps in a cafe, or on a bullet train or even on the table of a restaurant.”
To cater to young people's work preferences, more companies have begun to include “flexible working mode” in their recruitment advertisements. Zhaopin, a website, said vacancies with flexible work available make up 15 to 20 percent of total vacancies on its platform, especially for industries in the growing gig economy such as transportation and logistics (物流). According to Zhaopin, the proportion of flexible vacancies in these industries has increased to 25 percent this year, up from 10 percent in 2018.
However, the flexibility may bring risks to workers' rights protection, according to Zhaopin. It said that though roughly 60 percent of companies posting vacancies on its platform offer insurance, the proportion is decreasing.
Li Qiang, vicepresident of Zhaopin, said that the greatest risk to those seeking flexible work is whether the company pays the salary fully and on time. “It's necessary for job seekers to set up a longterm development plan, rather than be shortsighted.” He added that companies may bear risks that flexible employees can't deliver highquality work in a limited time period, which requires the companies to establish a sound work delivery standard to help evaluate employee performance.
32．What factor contributes to flexible work?
A．The booming digital economy. B．The desire for more free time.
C．The disappearance of some positions. D．The improvement of working conditions.
33．How do companies react to young people's work preference?
A．They ignore the youth's requests. B．They follow the old working mode.
C．They provide positions accordingly. D．They reduce working opportunities.
34．What suggestions did Li Qiang give?
A．The companies pay higher salary. B．The job seekers make a detailed plan.
C．The companies make reasonable rules. D．The job seekers apply for positions on time.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．A new internetrelated working model B．Job seekers more keen on flexible work
C．The rapidly developing digital economy D．Companies well prepared for new risks

阅读下面短文，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。
One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we threw away is ewaste—electronic items that are broken and not recycled. __36__
Millions of tonnes__of__televisions,__phones, and other electronic equipment are abandoned each year. __37__ And we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of ewaste generated every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world. __38__ The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of many found around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that “this project allows you to reduce waste, extend the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault.”
As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another solution is ewaste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting these materials from electronic gadgets. __39__ With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
These projects make total sense, but collections of ewaste for recycling are decreasing. __40__ However, the European Union, for example, is trying to tackle the problem by insisting manufacturers have to make appliances longerlasting and attempt a collecting service for ewaste recycling.
A．The demand for waste is on a high level.
B．Now two solutions can give them a new life.
C．Because it's cheaper to replace them than fix them.
D．It's impossible that people practice ewaste recycling.
E．Doing it could be more profitable than traditional mining.
F．And in countries without law on ewaste, much of it just goes to landfill.
G．However, there's a growing trend for repair events to solve such a problem.

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。
Growing up, I've always been compared to my mother in appearance, personality and for my caring nature. It's my favorite praise because my mom is the most influential woman in my life. The world has considered healthcare workers as modern heroes, which is a truly deserved title, but my mom proved her hero status to me years ago.
My mother worked as a registered nurse at Temple University Hospital. Recently, she was offered a position in Temple's cardiac intensive care unit. During the past two years of the pandemic, my mom has been consumed with work as a nurse at Temple University Hospital, caring for hundreds of COVID19 patients. She contracted the virus twice, resulting in the loss of her taste and smell. Although her work can be an emotional rollercoaster (过山车), she never faltered in her desire to help people.
Before working as a nurse, when I was four and my sister was two years old, my mom was a stayathome mom. She often got her hands full at home and began a parttime cashier position at Toys “R” Us, but she knew she had a more fulfilling career path ahead of her. She was driven by her passion to help people and enrolled at the Community College of Philadelphia in January 2009 to complete an associate degree in Culture, Science, and Technology.
As young kids, my sister and I tended to get in the way of my mom's schoolwork, often distracting her by making messes around the house and constantly yelling out her name. Still, we sometimes managed to help her.
During the holidays, our house was decorated with Christmasthemed stuffed animals (动物玩偶) on our couch. One day, my sister and I saw my mom talking to them and we thought she looked silly, so I asked her what she was talking about. She said she was giving the stuffed animals an important presentation because she was anxious about doing it in front of her classmates.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按下列格式作答。
Needing to be involved, I ran upstairs and grabbed my favorite stuffed animals. ________________________________________________________________________

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了女儿忘记了妈妈的生日，妻子辗转难眠很伤心，作者给女儿发消息，女儿冒着严寒乘火车回来给妈妈补过生日，妻子很感动。作者又把这件事讲给自己的父母听，父母却反问作者又有多少次忘记父母的生日。
24．答案与解析：D 词句猜测题。根据上一句“On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. ‘Has Lily called？’ she asked. I shook my head.(那天，我下班回家，不让她进厨房，请她出去吃饭。‘莉莉打电话来了吗？’她问道。我摇了摇头)”和下一句“My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.(我妻子一直在看她的手机，没有任何食欲)”可知，妻子在生日那天，在等女儿的祝福电话，中午了女儿还没打电话，应该是忘记了妈妈的生日，妻子应该是心情不好，气氛比较沉闷。由此可知，画线词意为“沉闷的，沉重的”。故选D项。
25．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据第三段“Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum's birthday？(第二天一大早，我妻子起床了，黑眼圈围绕着她的眼睛。我们只有一个孩子。莉莉还在家里的时候，每年临近她的生日，我们都会提前几天开始隆重地准备。在她上大学后，我妻子从早到晚给她打了无数次电话。她怎么能无视我们所有的爱，完全忘记她妈妈的生日呢？)”可知，妻子在女儿生日时，打很多电话表示关心祝福，而女儿上大学后都不记得妈妈的生日，妻子是失落的，黑眼圈表明妻子的焦虑，晚上没睡好觉。故选C项。
26．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第四段“‘Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday！’ she said, tears welling up.(‘对不起，妈妈。生日快乐！’她说，眼泪涌了出来)”可知，女儿见到妈妈哭了是因为自己忘记妈妈的生日而感到抱歉和懊悔。故选B项。

Has either of us ever complained？’(后来，我打电话给我的父母，告诉他们这件事。我从没想过他们会沉默很长时间，然后说：‘你多少次忘了我们的生日？我们俩谁抱怨过吗？’)”可知，作者把女儿忘记她妈妈的生日这事儿讲给父母听，而父母的回答表明作者也多次忘记父母的生日。父母的沉默和后面的回答表明父母也是期待作者对他们生日的重视。由此可知，父母传达的信息是爱是一条双行道，爱是相互的。故选A项。

30．答案与解析：B 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“So they wait until you get obese, and then they'll look at giving you diets, drugs, or surgery.(以他们会等到你变胖了，然后他们会考虑给你节食、药物或手术)”可知，如果给予治疗真的有效，我们应该会看到肥胖率的下降。由此可知，画线词that指的是上文中提到的“给予治疗”。故选B项。
31．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第一段“A recent scientific report said the chemical pollutants are supersizing the global obesity epidemic. (最近的一份科学报告称，化学污染物正在使全球肥胖流行病变得更加严重)”和第四段“‘It turns out chemicals in the environment have these side effects，’ said Prof Robert Luis at the University of New York, ‘This research is vital because the current clinical management of obese patients is clearly insufficient.’ (‘事实证明，环境中的化学物质有这些副作用，’纽约大学的罗伯特·路易斯教授说。‘这项研究至关重要，因为目前对肥胖患者的临床管理显然不足。’)”以及最后一段“Furthermore, the approach offers the potential to prevent obesity by avoiding exposure to pollutants, especially in pregnant (怀孕) women and babies. Prevention saves lives while costing far less than any treatment.(此外，该方法通过避免接触污染物，特别是孕妇和婴儿，提供了预防肥胖的潜力。预防可以挽救生命，但花费远低于任何治疗)”可推知，这项研究将会提高肥胖患者的临床管理水平。故选D项。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
There is a wide range of “last chance tourism” destinations around the planet, many of which are threatened by the effect of global warming.
Glaciers Of Glacier National Park, Montana
The worldfamous Glacier National Park spreads over a million acres in Montana. The park welcomes about 3 million visitors each year to its unique ecosystem. However, its glaciers are quickly shrinking in size, and continue to affect the ecosystem with the nonstop melting. At today's global warming rates, these glaciers will disappear in the next few decades.
Snow On Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Kilimanjaro, the “Root of Africa”， dominates the tropical landscape of Tanzania in Africa. It is a destination for the climbers wishing to conquer Kilimanjaro's peak at 5，895 meters above sea level. The mountain's steep walls used to be fully covered in ice sheets while today they sit nearly bare, having lost 85% of the coverage due to the everrising temperatures. It is highly likely to lose all the snow in just 20 years.

My wife's birthday falls at the beginning of spring when the winter chill still hangs over the approaching warmth.
On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. “Has Lily called？” she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.
Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum's birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn't sleep well last night.”
Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday！” she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, “You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time? Don't you know it is cold outside？”
Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child's growth.
Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: “How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained？”

A recent scientific report said the chemical pollutants are supersizing the global obesity epidemic.
The idea that the chemical pollutants called “obesogens” can affect how the body controls weight is not yet part of mainstream treatments. But scientists behind the report argue that the evidence is now so strong that it should be. The most disturbing aspect of the evidence is that some chemical impacts that increase weight can be passed down through generations by changing how genes work.
Obesogens can disturb the body's metabolism (新陈代谢), making gaining weight easier and losing weight harder. The body's balance of energy intake and consumption through activity relies on the interplay of various hormones from fat tissue, the gut, etc. The pollutants can directly affect the number and size of fat cells and alter the signals that make people feel full. They can also cause weight gain by making the uptake of calories from the gut more efficient.
“It turns out chemicals in the environment have these side effects，” said Prof Robert Luis at the University of New York, “This research is vital because the current clinical management of obese patients is clearly insufficient.”
“The focus of the clinical people is on calories—if you eat more calories, you're going to be fatter，” says Dr Heindel, “So they wait until you get obese, and then they'll look at giving you diets, drugs, or surgery. If that really worked, we should see a decline in the rates of obesity，” he said. “But we don't—obesity continues to rise, especially in children. The real question is, why do people eat more? The research focuses on it and provides data indicating that these chemicals are the real reason.”
Furthermore, the approach offers the potential to prevent obesity by avoiding exposure to pollutants, especially in pregnant (怀孕) women and babies. Prevention saves lives while costing far less than any treatment.
28．What harm do obesogens do to human's health?
A．Affecting the brain's work. B．Causing deadly diseases.
C．Making food polluted. D．Damaging weight control.
29．Why is the current clinical management mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A．To list a dissatisfying way to treat obesity. B．To present the side effects of obesogens.
C．To prove more calories leading to obesity. D．To show the achievement made nowadays.
30．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Getting obese. B．Giving treatments. C．Changing fat cells. D．Reducing obesity.
31．What influence will the study bring about?
A．Inspiring more doctors to study obesity.
B．Raising a public concern for the babies' birth.
C．Making the treatment for obesity medicinefree.
D．Improving the clinical management of obese patients.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's digital economy has increased by 15.9 percent annually since 2012, reaching 45.5 trillion yuan ($6.32 trillion) last year. Facing the growing digital economy and new vacancies developed in the sector such as deliverymen and livestreaming anchors (主播), young people, especially those born after 2000, are expressing a stronger willingness for flexible work relations with companies, and also wish to become “digital workers” with flexible work locations and schedules.
“The Internet helps me a lot. I check emails from my clients and submit my proposals through WeChat, then we discuss plans via teleconference. I love working from home actually，” said Mi Lu, a 28yearold new media operator in Beijing. “We work everywhere, perhaps in a cafe, or on a bullet train or even on the table of a restaurant.”
To cater to young people's work preferences, more companies have begun to include “flexible working mode” in their recruitment advertisements. Zhaopin, a website, said vacancies with flexible work available make up 15 to 20 percent of total vacancies on its platform, especially for industries in the growing gig economy such as transportation and logistics (物流). According to Zhaopin, the proportion of flexible vacancies in these industries has increased to 25 percent this year, up from 10 percent in 2018.
However, the flexibility may bring risks to workers' rights protection, according to Zhaopin. It said that though roughly 60 percent of companies posting vacancies on its platform offer insurance, the proportion is decreasing.
Li Qiang, vicepresident of Zhaopin, said that the greatest risk to those seeking flexible work is whether the company pays the salary fully and on time. “It's necessary for job seekers to set up a longterm development plan, rather than be shortsighted.” He added that companies may bear risks that flexible employees can't deliver highquality work in a limited time period, which requires the companies to establish a sound work delivery standard to help evaluate employee performance.
32．What factor contributes to flexible work?
A．The booming digital economy. B．The desire for more free time.
C．The disappearance of some positions. D．The improvement of working conditions.
33．How do companies react to young people's work preference?
A．They ignore the youth's requests. B．They follow the old working mode.
C．They provide positions accordingly. D．They reduce working opportunities.
34．What suggestions did Li Qiang give?
A．The companies pay higher salary. B．The job seekers make a detailed plan.
C．The companies make reasonable rules. D．The job seekers apply for positions on time.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．A new internetrelated working model B．Job seekers more keen on flexible work
C．The rapidly developing digital economy D．Companies well prepared for new risks

One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we threw away is ewaste—electronic items that are broken and not recycled. __36__
Millions of tonnes__of__televisions,__phones, and other electronic equipment are abandoned each year. __37__ And we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of ewaste generated every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world. __38__ The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of many found around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that “this project allows you to reduce waste, extend the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault.”
As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another solution is ewaste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting these materials from electronic gadgets. __39__ With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
These projects make total sense, but collections of ewaste for recycling are decreasing. __40__ However, the European Union, for example, is trying to tackle the problem by insisting manufacturers have to make appliances longerlasting and attempt a collecting service for ewaste recycling.
A．The demand for waste is on a high level.
B．Now two solutions can give them a new life.
C．Because it's cheaper to replace them than fix them.
D．It's impossible that people practice ewaste recycling.
E．Doing it could be more profitable than traditional mining.
F．And in countries without law on ewaste, much of it just goes to landfill.
G．However, there's a growing trend for repair events to solve such a problem.

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。
Growing up, I've always been compared to my mother in appearance, personality and for my caring nature. It's my favorite praise because my mom is the most influential woman in my life. The world has considered healthcare workers as modern heroes, which is a truly deserved title, but my mom proved her hero status to me years ago.
My mother worked as a registered nurse at Temple University Hospital. Recently, she was offered a position in Temple's cardiac intensive care unit. During the past two years of the pandemic, my mom has been consumed with work as a nurse at Temple University Hospital, caring for hundreds of COVID19 patients. She contracted the virus twice, resulting in the loss of her taste and smell. Although her work can be an emotional rollercoaster (过山车), she never faltered in her desire to help people.
Before working as a nurse, when I was four and my sister was two years old, my mom was a stayathome mom. She often got her hands full at home and began a parttime cashier position at Toys “R” Us, but she knew she had a more fulfilling career path ahead of her. She was driven by her passion to help people and enrolled at the Community College of Philadelphia in January 2009 to complete an associate degree in Culture, Science, and Technology.
As young kids, my sister and I tended to get in the way of my mom's schoolwork, often distracting her by making messes around the house and constantly yelling out her name. Still, we sometimes managed to help her.
During the holidays, our house was decorated with Christmasthemed stuffed animals (动物玩偶) on our couch. One day, my sister and I saw my mom talking to them and we thought she looked silly, so I asked her what she was talking about. She said she was giving the stuffed animals an important presentation because she was anxious about doing it in front of her classmates.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

Needing to be involved, I ran upstairs and grabbed my favorite stuffed animals. ________________________________________________________________________

I shook my head.(那天，我下班回家，不让她进厨房，请她出去吃饭。‘莉莉打电话来了吗？’她问道。我摇了摇头)”和下一句“My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.(我妻子一直在看她的手机，没有任何食欲)”可知，妻子在生日那天，在等女儿的祝福电话，中午了女儿还没打电话，应该是忘记了妈妈的生日，妻子应该是心情不好，气氛比较沉闷。由此可知，画线词意为“沉闷的，沉重的”。故选D项。
25．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据第三段“Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance.

29．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据第四段“‘It turns out chemicals in the environment have these side effects，’ said Prof Robert Luis at the University of New York, ‘This research is vital because the current clinical management of obese patients is clearly insufficient.’(‘事实证明，环境中的化学物质有这些副作用，’纽约大学的罗伯特·路易斯教授说。‘这项研究至关重要，因为目前对肥胖患者的临床管理显然不足。’)”可知，第四段提到了目前的临床管理是为了列举一种不令人满意的治疗肥胖的方法。故选A项。
30．答案与解析：B 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“So they wait until you get obese, and then they'll look at giving you diets, drugs, or surgery.(以他们会等到你变胖了，然后他们会考虑给你节食、药物或手术)”可知，如果给予治疗真的有效，我们应该会看到肥胖率的下降。由此可知，画线词that指的是上文中提到的“给予治疗”。故选B项。
31．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第一段“A recent scientific report said the chemical pollutants are supersizing the global obesity epidemic. (最近的一份科学报告称，化学污染物正在使全球肥胖流行病变得更加严重)”和第四段“‘It turns out chemicals in the environment have these side effects，’ said Prof Robert Luis at the University of New York, ‘This research is vital because the current clinical management of obese patients is clearly insufficient.’ (‘事实证明，环境中的化学物质有这些副作用，’纽约大学的罗伯特·路易斯教授说。‘这项研究至关重要，因为目前对肥胖患者的临床管理显然不足。’)”以及最后一段“Furthermore, the approach offers the potential to prevent obesity by avoiding exposure to pollutants, especially in pregnant (怀孕) women and babies. Prevention saves lives while costing far less than any treatment.(此外，该方法通过避免接触污染物，特别是孕妇和婴儿，提供了预防肥胖的潜力。预防可以挽救生命，但花费远低于任何治疗)”可推知，这项研究将会提高肥胖患者的临床管理水平。故选D项。
