But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East-the ancient custom of “tonic food”.Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one' s well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil（麻油）hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as mutton and spinach（菠菜）,are seen as “hot”，while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radish（樱桃萝 卜），are seen as "cokT. One should be careful not to eat too much of either "hot” or "cold” food, However, how much "hot" or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individuar s health.The custom of tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry（枸杞）,can be found on many restaurant menus, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as over-worked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig' s brain soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you are looking for.4 .What is the present situation of tonic food?A.It is catching less attention.B.It is enjoyed by many young people.

This is especially key when people feel lonely.The researchers interviewed 32 people aged 59 to 83. Pets included dogs, cats, birds, etc. More than 90% of the people spoke about touch in the relationship with their pets. "Participants often described touch-based interactions with their pets as being comforting or relaxing in a way that contributed to their overall well-being,the researchers say. "For our participants, comfort is the sense of being somehow cared for by another being.”Many people in the study spoke about how their pets just seemed to "know" when they weren' t feeling well and they' d move to get physically near them. Different pets were better at providing comfort, some participants insisted. Many said cats were more relaxing than dogs, while others said dogs could be relaxing as long as they were "the right kind of dog”. But almost all pets provided some sort of comfort to their owners when it came to touch.Janette Young, lecturer in health sciences at the University of South Australia, and her team uncovered an interesting thing about the pet-human relationship. People in the study often spoke about how their animals demanded to be petted or seemed to take joy in the interaction. This, in turn, made the humans feel good.The researchers suggest that pets can be "helpful in reducing touch deprivation（匮乏）“and the benefits can come from all kinds of pets. This connection can be particularly important in health care and senior care settings where patients and workers are less likely to be able to see friends and family; yet touch is important and can improve health and happiness.Pets can also offer benefits that in some cases people can' t offer. "Relationships with pets are different to those with humans,“ Young says. "Animals don, t judge and are always with us.” 8. About what did some participants hold different opinions?A.What pets were better at providing comfort.8 .Whether pets could make them feel relaxed.C.How they felt when their pets touched them.D.When pets could notice their owners' discomfort.9 .What did Janette Young find about the pet-human relationship?A.It is full of judgments.B.It turns out temporary.C.It benefits both parties.D.It is determined by pets.10 .What may researchers suggest hospitals do?A.Encourage pet connection programmes.B.Raise pets to reduce human touch.C.Select the best pet companions.D.Order workers? friends to pay visits.11 . What is the main idea of the text?A.Humans need spiritual support.B.Pet-human interactions are common.C.Lonely people like living with pets.D.Pets offer humans touch-based comfort.D（2021 山东日照一模）Looking for a place to take a rest, sip a cup of coffee and have a furry companion? Welcome to animal-themed cafes.In recent years, the combination of pets and catering has become incredibly popular in many cities throughout China. While many cafes started out offering the company of cats and dogs, others are expanding their range. Some cafes include animals like squirrels, raccoons（浣熊）and even capybaras（水 豚）.Many Internet users have commented that their main reason for visiting these businesses is to interact closely with animals they have only seen from afar.“The customers love animals. They are curious about these pets and want to raise one at home but circumstances don' t allow it J said pet cafe owner Tian Rui. Liu Jing, a Beijing resident who works in finance, loves pigs, but her parents would not endorse her getting one as a pet. The 24-year-old had to admire the animals through videos and images. But now, she can have close contact with an adorable pig every weekend in a pet cafe.Also, these pet cafes serve as a shelter for those who find comfort in being around animals. “In this place, you can get close to the cute little ones in a very comfortable way without having to worry about safety and hygiene（卫生）一overall, it is an extremely comfortable experience,said Zhao Ming from Tianjin, a frequent pet cafe visitor.Animal lovers also expect the pet cafes to change people? s attitudes towards pets. Animals like ducks, pigs and sheep have been served as food for many years. People hardly see them as pets. But the pet cafes help shift their attitude from seeing them as playthings to regarding them as family members or close friends."Whether at home or in stores, these little animals are there for companionship and they bring warmth to our hearts. They care and understand just like family members. They give us much more than the love we give to them,“ Zhao said.12 .Why do people visit pet cafes?A.To pursue inner peace.B.To appreciate animal images.C.To experience a clean environment.D.To have close contact with animals.13 .What does the underlined word "endorse“ in paragraph 4 mean?A.Believe in.B.Approve of.C.Prevent.D.Suspect.14 .We can conclude from paragraph 6 that pet cafes may.A.change our views of animalsB.teach us how to look after pets betterC.show us the importance of having petsD.remind us to value our family and friends15 .Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Cafes Enjoy Great PopularityB.Ideal Shelters for Lovely AnimalsC.Animals Turn into CompanionsD.Animal Lovers from Different CitiesII.七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）（2021 .江苏淮安高三适应性联考）If you' re looking to maximise the amount of fat burning in your next workout, think about having a coffee half an hour before you get started. 16Researchers found that 3 milligrams（毫克）of caffeine per kilogram of body weight can raise the rate of fat burning during aerobic（有氧的）exercise. 17 The coffee dose was shown to increase maximal fat oxidation rate（脂肪氧化率）by an average of 10.7 percent in the morning and 29 percent in the afternoon.The recommendation to exercise on an empty stomach in the morning to increase fat oxidation is common. 18 It is still unknown whether this increase is due to exercising in the morning or due to going without food for a longer period of time.19 Caffeine is often associated with improved athletic performance, though the science behind this link isn' t as comprehensive as it could be. In later cycling tests after the caffeine had been given, the fat-burning capability of the body was measured, showing the impact that caffeine had made on MFO. Maximum oxygen uptake was also raised, as was the intensity（强度）of exercise.The results of the study showed that acute caffeine intake 30 minutes before performing an aerobic exercise test increased MFO during exercise regardless of the time of day. 20 Overall, these results suggest that a combination of acute caffeine intake and exercise at moderate intensity in the afternoon provides the best solution for individuals seeking to increase whole-body fat oxidation during aerobic exercise.A.It is based on the results gathered from 15 male volunteers.B.However, this recommendation may lack a scientific basis.C.Evidence is mounting that morning exercise is good for your health.D.A new study suggests it can make a significant difference to fat burning.E.They are clear enough to suggest that there is some kind of association there.F.Researchers have found that if cyclists take more caffeine, they will ride much faster.G.Researchers were keen to look in detail at the relationship between caffeine and exercise.50分阅读限时满分练（五）【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。本文介绍了 Cuyahoga Valley就业中心的几个职业技 术课程。1 .A 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“The programme' s diversified coursework gives students a strong foundation in electrical systems installation and repair, in addition to receiving skill training, working and earning a paycheque on the job.”可知，职业技术课程 电气系统能够提供给学生赚取工资的工作。因此，能给学生支付工资的是A项 "Electrical Systems（电气系统）.D 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的“Applicants must have a minimum 3.0 GPA（Grade Point Average） and 'C' or better in Biology.”可知，申请人必须平均分最低3.0和生物 成绩最低C,对申请人是有学术要求的。因此,运动医学运动科学特别之处是D项。2 .C 解析:推理判断题。本文提到的电气系统、工程技术、运动医学运动科学和教育 专业都强调让学生在实践中学习。因此，关于文中提到的项目，我们能推断出C项符合 题意。【帮你拓知识】必背单词foundation .基石出approach n.方法重点语块receive skill training接受技能培训©critical thinking activities 批判性思维活动精彩句式Upon completion of the programme, students may earn college credits at various Ohio universities.完成该课程后，学生可以在俄亥俄州各所大学获得大学学分。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国传统滋补品的现状、功效以及滋补 品对现代餐饮业的影响。3 .A 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的“there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the Eastthe ancient custom of 'tonic food" 丁可知，关于中国食 物有一个有趣的概念，这在西方几乎是闻所未闻，而在东方却越来越被年轻人所忽视一 古老的“滋补品由此可知：滋补品如今越来越不受关注了。故选A项。4 .C 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hot pot.It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body.”可知，人们认为 芝麻油 火锅对 产妇有益。故选C项。5 .B 解析:词义猜测题。根据下文的"Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry, can be found on many restaurant menus, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish.”可知，枸杞等中草药可以在许多餐馆的菜单上找到，可以添加到水果茶中，也可以 作为一道菜的有益补充。由此可知，文中catering industry与下文的餐馆有关，因而画线 词意为“餐馆故选B项。7 .C解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍滋补品的功效和对餐饮业的影响, 故C项”对中国滋补品的介绍”是最佳标题。故变【帮你拓知识】宓背单词©concerning prep.关于©well-being 机健康pick-me-up .提神物品重点语块boost one' s strength 增强体力a helping of一份（食4勿等）【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究着眼于宠物如何通过爱 抚、拥抱和亲身陪伴来为人类提供安慰。8 .A 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的"Different pets were better at providing comfort, some participants insisted.
