Merchant,MDContaining exciting information and thought,this book could help people find ways toimprove or avoid diseases that can dramatically change lives.Pulling medical knowledge togetherin an original way,it provides a new vision for understanding chronic（慢 性 的）disease,andchallenges readers to think of chronic disease based on the root causes.For many people,medicalbooks can be a hard barrier to jump.but this book is written in an accessible style and format,andcontains information useful to the lay person,not just medical professionals.From Healing to HellW.H.Wall,JrFrom Healing to Hell is about the fall of a good and decent man and goes further to reveal theshocking details of how he was done a cruel injustice at the hands of a CIA governmentexperiment with the drug LSD.The book tells the story of illegal activity by officials in powerwho operated in the name of protecting the country.The Stuff of MonumentsRichard A.CrouseyLittle things occur regularly,forbidding us to

that went before.Nothing is truly lost.As one picture begins to fade,another begins to dawn.There Are No Monsters HereBuffy BrinkleyA little boy is afraid to go to bed when his mother announces his bedtime.He believes theremay be monsters hiding in his room.However,his fear doesnt stop him from trying to find them.What his decision creates is a doorway to acceptance and friendship.Out of fear

book?A.His innocence.B.His fear.C.His courage.D.His creativity.BA common remark in pieces about“kids these days and their social language is“when didfriend become a verb?”The answer is:sometime in the 1400s,if not earlier.In the earliestexamples of the verb friend from the Oxford English Dictionary,it just means“to make 什 iends”.You could go to a place,and friend some people there.It also had the meaning of helping someoneout,being a friend to them,e.g.,Reports came that the King would friend Lauderdale,anexample from 1698.If you could friend someone,it was only natural,according to the productiverules of English word formation,that you could unfriend them,too.The word shows up in thisexample from 1659:I hope,sir,that we are not mutually（相 互 的）un-friended by tis differencewhich has happened between us.”Hang out has been used as a verb for passing the time since at least the 1659s.In thePickwick Papers（1837）,Charles Dickens wrote:I say,old boy,where do you hang out?”The application of funky to music came around the 1930s,but the“strong smell“sense hadbeen around long before that.Since the 1600s,funk was slang（俚 语）for the unpleasant smell oftobacco smoke,and by extension,anything that stank（臭 的）.Cheeses,rooms,and especiallyships toilets could be described as funky.The application of fanboy to comics and science fictionhad to wait until the 70s,but before that,there were sports fans,and in 1919 the paper in Decatur,Illinois,reported that,“it was a shock to the fan boys when Cincinnati.beat the Chicago WhiteSox.The first citation（引 用）fbr fangirl is from 1934:uMary.dashed out through the rain soswiftly that only two of the fan-girls caught her.”4.When did the word“unfriencT turn up?A.In 1837.B.In 1698.C.In 1659.D.In 1400.5.Which one can be described

the best title of the passage?A.The Origin ofOEDB.Words That Are Much Older than They SeemC.How Words Are ChangedD.The Application of Strange WordscLets face it most of us cant resist a cup of tea or coflee sometimes.Theyre a perfectpick-me-up and comforter.But there are alternative drinks,so why have we chosen these as ourgo-to drinks to soothe our busy lives?And which one is superior?Lets start with tea-ifs the second most consumed drink in the world.For many-especiallythe British-having a“cuppa“is a daily practice.The caffeine contained in it helps wake you up inthe morning,and throughout the day well make a brew to distract us from our work.Andaccording to some scientists,habitual tea consumption can have some health benefits.AndrewSteptoe,a professor from University College Londons Department of Epidemiology and PublicHealth,told BBC Food that drinking black tea“may speed up recovery from the daily stresses inlife.but we do not know what ingredients of tea were responsible for these effects on stressrecovery and relaxation.Coffee is teas trendier”rival（对 手）.Its popularity has grown over the years,and this isreflected in the number of coffee shops we see around-places to hang out,do business or catch upwith friends.Coffee can taste great and can be served in many ways,but its sometimes how youhave it that can be seen as a status symbol or the preserve of hipsters（潮 人）1 Of course,it givesyou a strong caffeine hit-roughly double of that contained in tea.However,too much can lead toanxiety.Sleep scientist Matt Walker told the BBC that caffeine can decrease the amount ofrestorative deep sleep you have.But some scientists say drinking coffee-and green tea-can also be good for us.Researchers atOsaka University linked drinking a daily cup of coffee with a lower risk of death among bothstroke survivors and healthy people,while drinking seven or more cups of green tea wasassociated with a lower risk of death among both heart attack and stroke survivors.So,whetherwe turn to coffee or tea for its taste,its image or as a lifestyle choice,it could be a lifesaver!8.What does the underlined word“soothe“in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Change.B.Relieve.C.Describe.D.Copy-9.It can be infeiTed from Paragraph 2 that_.A.tea is the most consumed drink in the worldB.the caffeine in tea can cure people of illnessC.tea helps promote

from the daily stresses.C.Coffee is surely more popular than tea.D.Drinking a daily cup of coffee guarantees a long life.11.In which section can you read the passage on a magazine website?A.Technology.B.Entertainment.C.Business.D.Health.DTesla and SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk has joined dozens of CEOs of artificialintelligence companies in signing an open letter urging the United Nations to ban the use of AI inweapons before the technology gets out of hand.The letter was published Mondaythe same day the U.N.was to discuss ways to protectcivilians from the misuse of automated weapons（自 动 武 器）.That meeting,however,has beenpostponed until November.Automated weapons threaten to become the third revolution in w arfare,read the letter,which was also signed by the CEOs of top high-tech companies such as Cafe X Technologies andPlusOne Robotics.Once this Pandoras box is opened,it will be hard to close.Therefore we askthe High Contracting Parties to find a way to protect us all from these dangers.”The letters tones echo those in another open letter that Musk-along with more than 3,000 AIand robotics researchers,signed nearly two years ago.The letter warned of the dangers of artificialintelligence in weapons,which could be used in assassinations（暗 杀）,overturning nations,andselectively killing a particular ethnic group.Many nations are already familiar with drone（无 人 机）warfare,in which human-piloteddrones are used instead of putting soldiers on site.Lower costs,as well as the fact that they dontrisk the lives of military personnel,have contributed to their rising popularity.Future capabilitiesfor unmanned aerial vehicles could include autonomous takeoffs and landings,while underwaterdrones could eventually swim in the seas.AI weapons would take things a step further,removing human involvement entirely,andpotentially improving efficiency.But they could also open a whole new box of worms,accordingto the letter,lowering the level for going to battle“and creating a global anns race in whichhorrible technology can be mass-produced and misused.Artificial intelligence technology hasreached a point where the use of such systems is-practically,if not legally-achievable within years,and the risks are high.It will only be a matter of time until they appear on the black market and inthe hands of terrorists,dictators or warlords（军 阀）.”12.Why did Elon Musk sign the open letter?A.To urge UN to ban all the new technology.B.To protect humans from the potential dangers of AI.C.To cut down the cost of automated weapons.D.To ask people to keep curious facing technology.13.Which of the following is NOT the effect of AI use in weapons?A.Overthrowing a nation.B.Selectively killing an ethnic group.C.Improving efficiency.D.Risking the lives of military personnel.14.The underlined sentence“they could also open a whole new box of worms“implies that theuse of AI in arms would.A.give rise to a lot of threats to the worldB.lower the level of global arms raceC.cut down the mass production of armsD.decrease the deals on the black market15.What is the writers attitude towards the use of Al in weapons?A.Indifferent.B.Supportive.C.Concerned.D.Regretful.第 二 节（共 5 小 题；每 小 题 2.5 分，满 分 12.5 分）根 据 短 文 内 容，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。We must pay attention to
