will get inebriated too quickly.Of course,most college students shouldnt be drinking at all,but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol,which makes harm-reducing approaches important.Unfortunately,campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head:rather than filling up before a night of partying,significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.This is a high-risk behavior called“drunkorexia,”which is one part eating disorder,one part alcoholisma very dangerous combination for college-age students.The term drunkorexia,which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol,was coined about 10 years ago,and it started showing up in medical research around 2012.Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin,pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students,mostly women.Imagine this scenario:A female college freshman doesnt eat anything all day,exercises on an empty stomach,then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours.Because theres no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol,those shots affect her rapidly,leading to inebriation and possibly passing out,vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning.Thats drunkorexia.Tavis Glassman,professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio,researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios such as the one described above:“With nothing in her system,alcohol hits quickly,and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking:getting home safely,sexual assault,unintentional injury,fights,hangovers that affect class attendance and grades,and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,”he says.“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system,it can interfere with sleep,lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,”Hultin says.1、What does the underlined word“inebriated”in paragraph 1 mean?Aexcited Boverwhelmed Caddicted Ddrunk 2、We can infer from the passage that _.Aa large number of college students spend most of their nights partying Bsome college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slim CThere is a direct link between body image and consuming alcohol Dfemale college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol 3、Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?AWith more food in ones system,he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.BDrinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.CThose who dont attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.DAlcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.22（8 分）Why should mankind explore space?Why should money,time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits?Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth?These are questions that,understandably,are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains,and on into all possible areas and environments?The wider the spread of a species,the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored,because by doing so,any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge,we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge,we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them,they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from other spin offs of space exploration.The technical improvements in earthquake prediction,in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems have long been in effect.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return,the exploration of space allows creative,brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works,it also holds dangers.The danger exists,but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space,the chance to save ourselves might not exist.1、What might be the key to those questions mentioned in Paragraph 1?AHumans nature.BKnowledge.CCivilization.DPotential dangers.2、Which of the following can best replace“spin-offs”underlined in paragraph 4?AApplications.BShortcomings.CAdvantages.DGains.3、In which situation may this text be applied properly?AA private conversation.BA class presentation.CA cartoon picture.DA fashion review.4、What can be a suitable title for the text?AHow Knowledge Benefits Us BWhat Humans Spread for CWhy to Explore Space DHow Humans Save Ourselves 23（8 分）I am a writer.I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language 一 the way it can evoke(唤起）an emotion,a visual image,a complex idea,or a simple truth.Language is the tool of my trade.And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California,Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks.Like others,I have described it to people as“broken”English.But feel embarrassed to say that.It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than“broken”，as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed,as if it lacked a certain wholeness.Ive heard other terms used，“limited English,”for example.But they seem just as bad，as if everything is limited,including peoples perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact,because when I was growing up,my mothers“limited”English limited my perception of her.I was ashamed of her English.I believed that her English rejected the quality of what she had to say.That is because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect.And I had plenty of evidence to support me:the fact that people in department stores,at banks,and at restaurants did not take her seriously,did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985.And for reasons I wont get into today,I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with:the English she used with me,which for lack of a better term might be described as“broken”,and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese,her internal(内在的）language，and for that I sought lo preserve the essence,but neither an English nor a Chinese structure:I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show;her intention,her feelings,the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.1、By saying“Language is the tool of my trade”,the author means that .Ashe uses English in foreign trade Bshe is fascinated by languages Cshe works as a translator Dshe is a writer by profession 2、The author used to think of her mothers English as .Aimpolite Bamusing Cimperfect Dpractical 3、Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?AAmericans do not understand broken English.BThe authors mother was not respected sometimes.CThe authors mother had positive influence on her DBroken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.4、The author gradually realizes her mothers English is .Awell structured Bin the old style Ceasy to translate Drich in meaning 5、What is the passage mainly about?AThe changes of the authors attitude to her mothers English.BThe limitation of the authors perception of her mother.CThe authors misunderstanding of“limited”English.DThe authors experiences of using broken English.24（8 分）Soaping up your hands may do more than just get rid of germs.It may wash away the inner confusion you feel right after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices,according to a new study.The study builds on past research into a phenomenon known as“the Macbeth effect”.It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience（良心）by rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands.A few years ago,scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act.If people were then given a chance to clean their hands,they later expressed less guilt than people who hadnt cleaned.This finding fascinated W.S.Lee,a researcher.“Anything from the past,any kind of negative emotional experiences,might be washed away,”says Lee.He decided to test hand washings effect on one kind of bad feeling:the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices,because picking one choice makes us feel that weve lose the other.People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating（夸大）the positive aspects of their choice.He had students rank 10 different music CDs.Then he offered students one CD as a gift.Some students then use liquid soap.Others only looked at the soap or sniffed（嗅）it.“Actually,you do not need water and soap,”says Lee.Later,the students again had to rank all the music.People who didnt wash their hands had the normal response they scored their take-home CD higher,suggesting that they now saw it as even more attractive than before.But this wasnt true for the hand washers.They ranked the music about the same.“they feel no need at all to justify the choice,”say Lee.But the implications of it just arent clear.Schwarz says its too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough choice.He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder,but perhaps if they dont go through the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice,they might feel more sorrow in the long run.1、The Macbeth effect refers to the fact that _.AShakespeare did scientific research before writing Macbeth Bsoaping up ones hand may help wash away the inner confusion and make a decision Cpeople feel less guilty by getting rid of invisible germs from their hands Dpeople feel less ashamed after washing their hands 2、According to Lee,after people make the choice _.Athey will overstate the goodness of their chosen choice Bthey will feel regretful for not choosing another Cthey will feel free due to the feeling of losing the other choice Dthey will think nothing of their chosen choice any more to calm their inner conflict 3、According to Lee,the hand washers consider the judgment of choice _.Amore scientific Bunnecessary Ca little convincing Dabsolutely useless 4、What does Schwarz need to research more?AWhether people need to justify their choice.BWhether people feel more sorrow after washing hands.CWhether washing hands help over a long period of time.DWhether washing hands is helpful to make a choice.5、What might be the most suitable title for the passage?AIs Washing Hands Necessary to Defeat Tension?BWashing Hands,Washes Our Mind CWashing Hands,Helps Make a Better Choice DWashing Hands,Reduces the Stress of Decision 25（10 分）For centuries,medical pioneers have refined a variety of methods and medicines to treat sickness,injury,and disability,enabling people to live longer and healthier lives.“A salamander(a small lizard-like animal)can grow back its leg.Why cant a human do the same?”asked Peruvian-born surgeon Dr.Anthony Atala in a recent interview.The question,a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers,captures the inventive spirit of regenerative medicine.This innovative field seeks to provide patients with replacement body parts
