.monitor二阅读理解（共4小题）2 Up to the age of ten，I did not mind at all the fact that my elder sister was different.The child psychologist had termed it as"Asperger Syndrome"，a disease that affects how a person socializes with others.It was only at the age of ten that I started to become aware of my social life and selfimage that I had carefully shaped.My sister，on the other hand，was socially awkward.She would mumble（咕哝） to herself and repeat the words she had just said under her breath.She，however，was academically capable，and hence we attended the same primary school.Despite this，I never，ever acknowledged in public that she was my sister.Being in primary six，about to graduate，my sister and her classmates had to put up a performance，whether in a group，or individually.Due to her inability to integrate，my sister was the only one left without a group."Ill sing，"my sister told my parents，somewhat confidently.Hearing that，I was taken aback.How could my sister sing in front of the school？She would embarrass me，one way or another."No!"I remember protesting.My parents shot me a look.No one knows she is your sister.It is fine，you do not need to tell anyone.I remember telling myself these exact lines as I sat in the hall，waiting for the performances to start.The curtains parted to reveal the only solo（独唱）my sister.It took about a whole minute for her to state her name and class and by that time，whispers were heard in the audience."Why is she taking so long？"people around me asked.I shifted nervously in my seat.Finally，my sister started to sing.I was prepared for the worst.She opened her mouth，and I was transfixedshe sang effortlessly.Her voice rang through the hall，beautiful in its power.I listened ever so carefully to the words that she had composed all by herself.Guilt and shame filled my heart.Although she knew that I was embarrassed by her and was unwilling to attend her concert，my sister had forgiven me；she had never taken anything that I had done to her to heart.It was then that I resolved to love her unconditionally.（1）How did the author feel about his sister's difference before 10？ A.He hardly accepted it.B.He didn't care about it.C.He was extremely awkward.D.He was determined to help.（2）Why did the author protest against his sister's decision？ A.To challenge his parents.B.To follow other students.C.To keep his sister's image.D.To protect his selfrespect.（3）What do we know about the author's sister？ A.She always got full marks in primary school.B.She refused to form a group with other students.C.She gave an excellent performance before graduation.D.She delivered an inspiring speech in front of the school.（4）What lesson did the author learn from his sister？ A.Take nothing to heart.B.Love without condition.C.Stick to one's own choice.D.Learn from anyone around.3 A good meal has a positive impact on one's mood.Those who feast on Christmas buffet almost enjoy an immediate rise in their blood sugar.That will prompt a flood of chemicals that act as happy hormones to rush through their brains.But the pleasure goes deeper.Tyrosine and tryptophan are needed for the production，respectively，of dopamine，a neurotransmitter （神经传递素） that controls feelings of pleasure and reward，and serotonin，another such，which helps regulate mood.And cranberries are high in vitamin C，which is involved in converting dopamine to noradrenaline，another neurotransmitter，and a lack of which seems to be associated with depression.With mentalhealth disorders rising，a growing number of scientists are investigating how food or nutritional supplements affect the mind.But separating the brain's nutritional needs from those of the rest of the body is difficult.Not possible for now，at least.And，compared with other fields，nutritional science is understudied.That is partly because it is hard to do well.Randomised controlled trials （rcts），used to test drugs，are tricky.Few people want to stick to an experimental diet for years.Instead，most nutritional science is based on observational studies that try to establish associations between particular foods or nutrients and diseases.They cannot be used to definitively prove a causal （ 因果关系的 ） connection between a disease and a particular contributing factor in a diet.But as with smoking and lung cancer，put together enough of these kinds of trials and causal narratives begin to emerge.It is now clear that some diets are particularly good for the brain.One recent study concludes that sticking to the "Mediterranean diet"，high in vegetables，fruit，pulses and wholegrains，low in red and processed meats and saturated fats，decreases the chances of experiencing strokes，cognitive impairment and depression.Other recent work looking at a "green" Mediterranean diet high in polyphenols found it reduced agerelated brain atrophy.Another version，the mind diet，emphasises，among other things，eating berries over other kinds of fruit and seems to lessen the risk of dementia.Scientists think such diets may work by reducing inflammation in the brain.This，in turn，may affect areas such as the hippocampus，which is associated with learning，memory and mood regulationand where new neurons grow in adults.Studies in animals show that when they are fed a diet rich in omega3 fatty acids （from walnuts，for example），flavonoids （consumed mainly via tea and wine），antioxidants （found in berries） and resveratrol （found in red grapes），neuron growth is stimulated and inflammatory processes are reduced.This fits with research suggesting that those who regularly eat ultraprocessed，fried and sugary foods，which increase inflammation in the brain，heighten their risk of developing depression.（1）Which of the following words can replace "tricky" in Paragraph 3？ A.Rare.B.Tough.C.Traditional.D.Contradictory.（2）How do researchers do observational studies in nutritional science？ A.By keeping at an experimental diet for years.B.By carrying out randomized controlled trials.C.By identifying a particular contributing factor.D.By comparing findings of certain kinds of trials.（3）What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs？ A.A diet rich in fruit is good for cognitive abilities.B.People fond of sugary foods may be a risk lover.C.Red grapes add fuel to inflammation in the brain.D.Drinking tea can solve agerelated brain problems.（4）What is mainly discussed in the passage？ A.The links between diets and diseases.B.The significance of Mediterranean diet.C.The function of various neurotransmitters.D.The influence of nutrients on mental health.4Volunteer in AfricaDreaming of volunteering in Africa？International Volunteer HQ （IVHQ） will enable you to be immersed in vibrant cultures，discover unique wildlife and make

that occur outside of conscious awarenessa way of knowing something without knowing how you know it.The value of clinical intuition in medicine is now being studied and becoming particularly relevant as interest grows in developing AI systems that can analyze medical data to diagnose or treat patients.A study in 2023 found that clinical intuition from physiotherapists on the prognosis for functional recovery among patients was closely associated with the recovery afterwards.Another study concluded that in comparison to relying only on clinical data， "preoperative surgeon intuition alone is an independent predictor of patient outcomes.""This is a cognitive process.Clinical intuition is about expertise，knowledge，and pattern recognition that accumulate through experience.The mind is putting together all kinds of information and sequencing it in ways that say this person is really sickor not，" says Meredith Vanstone，an associate professor in McMaster University.Given the depth of this cognitive process，some experts are skeptical that AI technology can make medical decisions as well as a human physician."As physicians go through years of interactions with patients and seeing thousands of cases，those gut feelings become a sort of summary statement of all the experiences they've seen，" says Mohammad Ghassemi，a researcher at Michigan State University."Clinicians can observe different things that are not always captured or made available by machines."Researchers found that physicians and nurses practicing in a medical specialty involving a high likelihood of an emergency or dimensions of complexity are more likely to use intuitive decisionmaking in their practice."As surgeons，the first thing we need to do is look at the patient because the structured data may not be consistent with what we see with the patient，" says Gabriel Brat from Harvard Medical School.Research has found that clinical intuition from nurses and physicians about the chances that older patients visiting emergency departments would die or have other adverse outcomes within 30 days was highly accurate.None of known experiences suggest that clinical intuition should be blindly acted upon.Making clinical decisions solely on the basis of a physician's intuition isn't the way to go，experts say.But relying solely on medical algorithms （mathematical models） that generate predictions about how a patient is likely to respond to different treatments isn't the best course of action either.To optimize patient care，some experts believe a hybrid approach that integrates clinical intuition，predictive algorithms，patient preferences，and other key factors is essential.（1）According to the passage，clinical intuition is influenced by .A.rapid judgementB.medical algorithmsC.conscious awarenessD.professional knowledge（2）Which of the following would Mohammad Ghassemi agree？ A.Clinicians have a sharp eye for a patient's condition.B.Machines always generate more accurate predictions.C.Doctors should summarize the experiences they've seen.D.Physicians' interactions with patients have been devalued.（3）Why does the author mention the research finding in Paragraph 6？ A.To introduce the wide use of clinical intuition.B.To explain the logic chain of clinical intuition.C.To prove the accuracy of clinical intuition.D.To present feedbacks on clinical intuition.三书面表达（共1小题）6假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的英国好友Jim计划明年来北京上大学学习中文，特发来邮件询问你的建议。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括：（1）表示欢迎；（2）推荐他上哪所大学；（3）建议他做哪些准备工作。注意：（1）词数100 词左右；（2）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。Dear Jim，_Yours，Li Hua四信息匹配（共1小题）7 The
