一、阅读理解
There’s n shrtage f health fd trends n TikTk, but which nes are actually sensible? And shuld yu skip any f them altgether? We asked
registered dietitian Vanessa Rissett, and here’s what yu need t knw.
Emily Marik’s Salmn Bwl
Made with rice, baked salmn, sy sauce and spicy may — and t be clear, there are a lt f different variatins f it nline — this passes
Rissett’s test because it’s healthy, fast, easy and has gd flavr.
Rissett says that while she wuld recmmend this recipe, she wuld als suggest changing the white rice fr brwn rice fr increased nutrients and
mre fiber.
Healthy Ckie Dugh
Ckie dugh that’s healthy? This is t gd t be true, right? The answer is prbably yes.
Rissctt says that while this may be healthy, it prbably dcsn’t taste gd.
“I’m certain this tastes like cardbard, ”she said. “If yu dn’t care abut taste — then this is fr yu.”
Lettuce Water Fr Sleep
While harmless, the TikTk trend f puring biling water ver rmaine lettuce leaves t make “lettuce water” fr better sleep prbably wn’t
cure yur sleep disrder — and it prbably desn’t taste great, either.
“This is nt a thing. There’s n evidence t prve it,” Rissett said. “Instead, steep a banana peel in biling water t help aid with sleep.”
Nature’s Cereal
As Rissett pints ut, it’s basically a fruit smthie bwl.
“I am all fr having berries and ccnut water,” she said. “Nutritin-wise, this has lts f vitamins, antixidants and fiber. It’s basically a fruit
salad that wuld be super refreshing n a ht day r pst-wrkut.”
【小题1】What is special abut Emily Marik’s salmn bwl?
A．It desn’t taste great.
B．It is gd fr health.
C．Its recipe is nt fixed.
D．It uses tw kinds f rice.
【小题2】Which recipe desn’t Rissett recmmend?
A．Emily Marik’s salmn bwl.
B．Healthy ckie dugh.
C．Lettuce water fr sleep.
D．Nature’s cereal.
【小题3】Which fd suits yu best after playing a ftball match?

In 2016, when I was n the graduate scheme (计划) at Deutsche Bank, Marie Inafidn, chief executive f Stemettes, wh encurages girls t pursue
careers in science, technlgy, engineering and maths (STEM), was als wrking there. I didn’t meet her at the time, but I did read an article abut her
and her career.
Learning at 21 years ld abut the career f a yung black wman’s succeeding in a traditinally white male-dminated industry was ne f the
mst influential things that ever happened t me. It gave me cnfidence that it was pssible t d well in the ffice and wrk n persnal external
prject at the same time.
Rle mdels can play a central rle in shaping a yung prfessinal’s career. They are especially imprtant if yu belng t an under-represented
grup fr whm a lack f representatin in the wrkplace can lead t feeling islated and lacking in cnfidence. They can help thse just starting ut,
whether r nt they are a graduate as I was, t believe in their wn abilities.
There’s a grwing need t have accessible rle mdels. Given the tendency t exaggerate (夸大) success stries, hearing frm wmen wh talk
hnestly abut the challenges they have faced, either when starting a business r frming a new career path, is much mre effective. A study revealed
that 70 per cent f girls say they think differently abut their futures after hearing frm wmen rle mdels.

I’m frequently asked abut what businesses culd be ding t increase racial diversity in the wrkplace. A gd starting pint is t actively
prmte and supprt the vices f the peple in the rganisatin that are leading psitive change and inspiring thers. This makes a real difference.
Unlike the tkenism (装样子) I still cme acrss, which results in individuals being made the lne representative fr a grup withut real supprt frm the
rganisatin.
Things came full circle fr me when I interviewed Ms. Inafidn fr my bk in 2019. I was able t tell her f the incredible impact her passin and
cnfidence had had n me as a graduate trainee and hw grateful I wuld always be fr that.
【小题1】What d we learn abut Marie Inafidn？
A．She became successful at 21.
B．She was a trainee at Deutsche Bank.
C．She encuraged girls t take up STEM-related wrk.
D．She helped the authr with her external prject persnally.
【小题2】Wh can benefit mst frm rle mdels in the wrk place accrding t the third paragraph？
A．Experienced prfessinals.
B．A graduate eager t succeed.
C．Peple withut special abilities.
D．The yung frm an under-represented grup.
【小题3】What is effective in changing girls’ mindset？
A．Taking n challenging prjects.
B．Reading mre made-up success stries.
C．Starting their wn business as early as pssible.
D．Listening t wmen rle mdels share their experiences.
【小题4】What shuld businesses d t increase racial diversity in the wrkplace accrding t the authr?
A．Encurage psitive pinins.
B．Make mre clred peple authrities.
C．Include mre peple f different races.
D．Understand the true meaning f tkenism.
The wheel is believed t be arund 5,500 years ld. The inventin came abut lng after the advent f ther, arguably mre cmplex technlgies,
like bats, wven clth, and agriculture. The inventin f the wheel greatly speeded up the develpment f civilizatin by making it easier t trade.
Twns and cities grew crwded, their ppulatins sustained by the increased prductivity f wheel-assisted farming.
Hwever, the Aztecs, Incas, Maya, and Native Americans which were regarded as relatively advanced civilizatins did nt use the wheel until after the
arrival f Eurpean clnists (殖民者) during the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
It had lng been assumed that ancient Americans didn’t knw hw t make them. That turned ut t be false. In 1880, as archaelgist Désiré
Charnay unearthed the tmb f an Aztec child in Mexic City, he came acrss a small figurine (雕像) munted n an even smaller set f wheels. Since
then, ther wheeled tys have been fund acrss the cuntry.
Current explanatins f why the Aztecs, Incas, Maya, and Native Americans lacked wheels fcus nt n the knwledge f hw t create them —
which they clearly pssessed — but n practicality. One majr reasn is that the cntinent lacks creatures strng enugh t pull them. After all, hrses
and cws crssed the Atlantic alng with the wheel itself.
Anther imprtant factr was gegraphy. Yes, the Incas built rads, but thse rads were mapped ut ver the hilly terrain (地形) f the Andes
Muntains. They featured a structure f giant staircases in which there were tp, middle, and bttm levels. S wheeled vehicles wuld nt have been
able t climb.
Ancient American scieties might nt have been built n wheels, but this in n way prevented them frm teaching levels f cmplexity cmparable
t their Eurpean cunterparts. They als built impressive architecture with rcks. Hw their builders managed t mve thse rcks withut help frm
the wheel, nbdy knws. But they did manage t d this. Of curse, the absence f the wheel still shaped these scieties in meaningful ways. Fr
example, attempts t unite the different warring tribes repeatedly fell apart because f the amunt f time it tk t travel frm ne strnghld (据点) t
anther.
“When the wheel did finally shw up in indigenus American scieties, a lt f things changed. But the change ccurred mre slwly. Even thugh
indigenus Americans culd nw use the wheel fr transprt, weaving, and pttery, this new and mre efficient technlgy didn’t replace the familiar

way f ding things vernight. Traditinal techniques cntinue t be passed dwn frm generatin t generatin, even t this day,” archaelgist
Patrick Kirch said.
【小题1】Why des the authr write the first paragraph?
A．T stress the difficulty in inventing the wheel.
B．T describe the prcess f the inventin f the wheel.
C．T explain the significance f the inventin f the wheel.
D．T intrduce the wide applicatins f the wheel in mdern times.
【小题2】Why didn’t ancient Incas use wheels?
A．They lacked tls fr creating wheels.
B．They built rads with vertical structures.
C．They relied n animals fr transprtatin.
D．They lacked the knwledge f prducing wheels.
【小题3】The absence f the wheel might blck _______.
A．the cmplexity f ancient American scieties
B．the frequency f wars in ancient American scieties
C．the impressive architecture in ancient American scieties
D．the unificatin f different tribes in ancient American scieties
【小题4】What des Patrick Kirch think f intrducing the wheel int indigenus American scieties?
A．Easy but limited
B．Nticeable but harmful.
D．Influential but gradual.
C．Welcme but fruitless.

Realistic art is easy t understand. Viewers can easily recgnize what is prtrayed. Take the Mna Lisa, fr example—it’s a realistic painting f a lady

On ne side f the rm sits the cutest life-size stuffed animal(填充玩具) yu’ve ever seen. On the ther side rests a real dg—the same size, shape
and even the same name as the stuffed versin. Yu get t sit next t bth f these furry friends and pet their fur.Guess which ne will make yur brain
light up?
If yu guessed the real dg, yu’re right. Stuffed animals, as cute and lvely as they may be, just dn’t effectively activate ur frntal crtex(额叶皮
层), the part f the brain verseeing hw we think and feel, accrding t a new study published in the jurnal PLOSONE. The study fund an even

strnger rise in brain activity when the persn petted the fur f a real dg versus a stuffed animal.
“We chse t research the frntal crtex because this brain area is invlved in several executive(执行) functins, such as attentin, wrking memry,
and prblem-slving. But it is als invlved in scial and emtinal prcesses,”said study lead authr Rahel Marti, a dctral student in the divisin f
clinical psychlgy at the University f Basel in Switzerland.
Why is this finding imprtant? It prvides additinal evidence that live human-animal interactin therapy(疗法) may prmte cgnitive and
emtinal activity in the brain. Marti said,“If patients with deficits in mtivatin, attentin, and sciemtinal functining shw higher emtinal
invlvement in activities cnnected t a real dg, then such activities culd increase the chance f learning and f achieving treatment aims.”
“This is an interesting, seriusly cnducted study that prvides new insight int assciatins between human-animal interactin and reginal
prefrntal brain activity in healthy adults. We fund that brain activity increased when the cntact with a real dg r a stuffed animal became clser. This
cnfirms previus studies relating clser cntact with animals t increased brain activity,”Marti said.
