212637. （2025•铁一中学•高二下期中）     What if everything happens for a reason？Burnt toast theory，a modern view on this classic idea，suggests that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason.
    Imagine you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work.According to burnt toast theory，this tiny inconvenience can cause a domino effect（多米诺效应）.Your morning gets delayed by three to five minutes-just enough time to leave the house later than usual and avoid a potential car accident.Or perhaps you catch a later train，missing an awkward encounter with someone you don't intend to see.You might even meet someone new whom you wouldn't have otherwise met，leading to a friendship or romantic connection.
    When we feel like things are outside our control，that can be scary.The burnt toast theory can help some people let go of their need for control and take negative situations more positively.
    However，while maintaining a positive mindset can be beneficial，over-optimism can lead to"poisonous positivity".When we only allow ourselves to focus on positive thoughts，we are denying ourselves the chance to properly deal with challenges and difficult situations to better ourselves，focusing on creating a false positive facade（假象） instead.By constantly avoiding negative experiences，we might ignore their real impact on us and fail to acknowledge when we're struggling.It can make us feel worse about ourselves，and may lead to pushing down negative feelings or experiences，and refusing to acknowledge or deal with them fully.
    Instead of focusing purely on positive thinking，working towards developing a growth mindset may be more helpful.You don't always have to look for life's silver linings，or even the meaning behind a little burnt toast.Sometimes things happen，and they suck.But as long as we take time to acknowledge how these things make us feel，and recognize that we can't always control everything around us，we can still work towards improving ourselves，and how we handle life's unexpected challenges-and that's what really matters.

（1）What can be inferred from the burnt toast theory？
A.Life is a process，not destination.
B.Lost in the east，gained in the west.
C.Life is full of endless challenges.
D.Lost time will never be found again.
（2）Which can be an outcome from"poisonous positivity"？
A.Loss of chances to grow.
B.Failure to acknowledge others.
C.Inability to control emotions.
D.Decline in physical health.
（3）Which can be seen as a growth mindset mentioned in the last paragraph？
A.Finding reasons for failure.
B.Avoiding pushing others too hard.
C.Accepting life and making it better.
D.Keeping a positive mindset and working hard.
（4）Which is the best possible title for the text？
A.Burn Toast Theory：Find a True Self
B.Burn Toast Theory：Lead a Positive Life
C.Burn Toast Theory：More than Positivity
D.Burn Toast Theory：How to Live Actively

[解析]

（1）细节理解题。根据第二段的内容，尤其是Imagine you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work...leading to a friendship or romantic connection.（想象一下，你在上班前不小心把吐司烤糊了……从而建立了友谊或浪漫关系。）可知，烤焦面包理论认为，我们日常生活中经历的小小不便可能有一个更大的原因。比如，你上班前不小心把面包烤焦了，这个小小的不便可能会导致一系列连锁反应，最终可能带来积极的结果，如避免车祸、错过尴尬的相遇，甚至结识新朋友。这反映了"塞翁失马，焉知非福"的思想。因此，从烤焦面包理论中可以推断出B选项"Lost in the east，gained in the west.（失之东隅，收之桑榆）"是正确的。故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据第四段However，while maintaining a positive mindset can be beneficial，over﹣optimism can lead to 'poisonous positivity'....It can make us feel worse about ourselves，and may lead to pushing down negative feelings or experiences，and refusing to acknowledge or deal with them fully.（然而，虽然保持积极的心态可能是有益的，但过度乐观可能会导致"有毒的积极性"……它会让我们对自己感觉更糟，并可能导致负面情绪或经历被压下，拒绝承认或完全处理它们。）可知，"有毒的积极性"指的是只关注积极想法，否认自己面对挑战和困难情况以更好地提升自己的机会，从而可能导致我们忽视它们的真实影响，无法承认自己的挣扎，甚至可能压抑负面情绪或经历，拒绝完全承认或处理它们。因此，A选项"Loss of chances to grow.（失去成长的机会）"是"有毒的积极性"可能带来的结果。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据最后一段Instead of focusing purely on positive thinking，working towards developing a growth mindset may be more helpful....But as long as we take time to acknowledge how these things make us feel，and recognize that we can't always control everything around us，we can still work towards improving ourselves，and how we handle life's unexpected challenges﹣and that's what really matters.（与其纯粹专注于积极思考，不如努力培养成长心态可能更有帮助……但只要我们花时间承认这些事情给我们带来的感受，并认识到我们不能总是控制周围的一切，我们仍然可以努力提高自己，以及我们如何应对生活中意想不到的挑战，这才是真正重要的。）可知，成长型心态不是纯粹地关注积极思考，而是承认生活中的不如意，认识到我们无法控制周围的一切，但仍然努力提升自己，以及我们如何应对生活中的意外挑战。因此，C选项"Accepting life and making it better.（接受生活并让它变得更好）"可以被视为最后一段中提到的成长型心态。故选C。
（4）标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了烤焦面包理论，即我们日常生活中经历的小小不便可能有一个更大的原因，并探讨了这种理论对人们心态的影响。文章指出，虽然保持积极的心态是有益的，但过度乐观可能导致"有毒的积极性"，而培养成长型心态可能更有帮助。因此，C选项"Burn Toast Theory：More than Positivity（烤焦面包理论：不仅仅是积极）"最能概括文章的主旨，是本文的最佳标题。故选C。

203478. （2015•师大附中•四模） In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity，others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people．
   I have taught many children who held the belief that their self - worth relied （依赖） on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing well and winning are often life - and - death affairs．In their single - minded pursuit （追求） of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
   However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying，they always have an excuse： "I may have lost，but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try．" What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self - respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve （缓解） can we discover a new meaning in competition．

（1）What does this passage mainly talk about？
A．Competition helps to set up self - respect．
B．Opinions about competition are different among people．
C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development．
D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition．
（2）Why do some people favor competition according to the passage？

B．It builds up a sense of duty．
C．It improves personal abilities．

（3）The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means       ．
A．those who try their best to win
B．those who value competition most highly

D．those who rely on others most for success
（4）Which point of view may the author agree to

205425. （2020•西安中学•高二下期末） Getting rid of dirt，in the opinion of most people，is a good thing．However，there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt．
   In the early 16th century，people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease，as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in．A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths．By 1538，the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom．So did the king of England in 1546．Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way．Henry IV，king of France，was famously dirty．Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath，the king ordered that，to avoid the attack of disease，the nobleman should not go out．
   Though the belief in the merit（优点） of dirt was long-lived，dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century．Scientifically speaking，cleaning away dirt is good to health．Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease．Yet，it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II．Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea：clothes need to be whiter than white，cloths ever softer，surfaces to shine．Has the hate for dirt，however，gone too far？
   Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays．Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt，which might be responsible for the spread of disease．On the contrary，Mary Ruebush，an American immunologist（免疫学家），encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system．And the latter position is gaining some ground．

（1）The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because        ．
A．they lived healthily in a dirty environment
B．they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C．they considered bathing as cause of skin disease
D．They believed disease could be spread in public baths
（2）Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing？
A．Curious
B．Afraid
C．Approving
D．Uninterested
（3）How does the passage mainly develop？
A．By following the order of time．
B．By making comparison．
C．By providing examples．
D．By following the order of importance．
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the passages？
A．To call attention to the danger of dirt．
B．To introduce the history of dirt．
C．To present the change of views on dirt．
D．To stress the role of dirt．

202501. （2021•西安中学•一模） Free school meals are back in the news.Footballer Marcus Rashford's petition（请愿书） to extend free school meals provision （供给） into the school holidays has collected 1.1 million signatures，causing the government to reverse policy.It has restarted the debate over free school meals，fuelled，most recently，by figures forecasting that if the government ends as planned the current ￡20 top-up（附加款），another 200，000 children will slip into poverty.This is in addition to the 550，000 children already living in poverty previous to COVID-19.
   The roots of the current school meals system lie in the mid-19th century.In Manchester，independent charities as well as official bodies started to provide free meals for undernourished children in the 1870s.When education became compulsory in the following decades，the extent of the issue became apparent.Proponents of feeding starving children pointed out that it was due to government order that children were in school，not working and contributing to the family food budget，so the government should pay.
   Reception was mixed.Then，as now，children rejected foods they weren't used to.Diaries of the time talked of "little bags of mystery" （sausages）.Some children were put off brassicas （芥菜类） for life.Finding the balance between cheap and good proved hard.The chief medical officer talked about the lack in calorie value and elements of a well-balanced diet which a needy child does not get at home，such as milk，cheese，eggs，green vegetables，fruit and meat.In 1980，the Tory government，desperate to cut costs，made provision largely optional and abolished nutritional standards.Over the next 15 years convenience and cost became the most important.
   Today，school meals provision is linked to benefits：in England around 17 percent of children are entitled to free school meals.Provision is outsourced （外包），leading to huge variation.In the last year，we've seen all of the age-old debates repeated once more.How do we decide who is entitled？How do we guarantee quality？Who decides what children eat？Who pays？Undernutrition does not just have physical effects，but also affects behavior and ability to learn.It has a lifelong impact.The arguments around free school meals seem never to end.But they are hugely important and，until poverty is ended，they will not and should not go away.

（1）Why did Marcus Rashford start the petition？
A．To feed an increasing number of children in poverty.
B．To restart the debate over free school meals.
C．To raise fund for hunger relief for children.
D．To lift children out of poverty.
（2）What does the paragraph 2 probably talk about？
A．Manchester and independent charities set up school free meals.
B．It was government that should pay for the school meals.
C．How did the current school meals system come into existence？
D．It was compulsory education that contributed to free school meals.
（3）What can we infer about school meals from paragraph 3？
A．Some children liked brassicas provided in the school.
B．School meals were both tasty and cheap.
C．School meals failed to meet children's nutritional needs.
D．The Tory government chose nutrition over cost.
（4）What does the writer think of the debates over free school meals？
A．Never-ending.
B．Meaningless.
C．Influential.
D．Necessary.

202520. （2021•西安中学•二模） Researchers studied data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey，organized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention （CDC） in the United States and looked at the relationship between cups of coffee drunk per day and both total body fat percentage and abdominal or trunk fat.
   They found that women aged 20---40 who drank two or three cups of coffee per day had the lowest level of obesity，3.4% lower than people who did not consume coffee.Among women aged between 45-69，those who drank four or more cups had an obesity percentage 4.1% lower.
   Overall，the average total body fat percentage was 2.8% lower among women of all ages who drank two or three cups of coffee per day.
   The findings were consistent whether the coffee consumed was caffeinated（含咖啡因的）or decaffinated and among smokers/non-smokers and those suffering from chronic diseases（慢性病） when compared to those in good health.
   In men，the relationship was less significant although men aged 20-44 who drank two or three cups per day had 1.3% less total fat and 1.8% less trunk fat than those who didn't consume coffee.
   Around 7 million tons of coffee is consumed globally every year.Dr.Lee Smith，senior author of the study，said： "Our research suggests that there may be active compounds in coffee other than caffeine that manage weight and which could potentially be used as anti-obesity compounds."
   "It could be possible that coffee，or its effective ingredients could be integrated into a healthy diet strategy to reduce the burden of chronic conditions related to the obesity，" Dr.Lee Smith added. "It's important to interpret the findings of this study in light of its limitations - the study was at a specific point in time so trends cannot be established.However，we don't believe that someone's weight is likely to influence their coffee consumption."

（1）What can be inferred from the text？
A．Coffee has less effect on men than women in fat according to the findings.
B．The women aged 20-44 like to drink two or three cups of coffee per day.
C．The researchers found that the coffee consumers preferred caffeinated coffee.
D．Trends will be established to limit people's weight by their coffee consumption.
（2）What in coffee mainly influences body fat according to Dr.Lee Smith？
A．The caffeine.
B．The decaffeinated.
C．The effective compounds.
D．The rich nutrition.
（3）What might the study be used for？
A．Developing a new coffee.
B．The treatment of obesity.
C．The treatment of heart disease.
D．The study of physical differences between the sexes.
（4）Where is this text most likely from？

204942. （2022•阎良区•高二下期末） Alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016，accounting for nearly one in ten deaths，according to a study published in The Lancet in 2018. "It has been known for decades that heavy drinking is bad for brain health，" said Sadie Boniface，head of research at the UK's Institute of Alcohol Studies.While there is no such thing as a "safe" level of drinking，with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health，according to a recent study.
   In the observational study，researchers from the University of Oxford studied the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake of some 25，000 people in the UK，and their brain scans.The researchers noted that drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter—regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed，" according to lead author Anya Topiwala，a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.
   "The more people drank，the less the volume of their gray matter，" Topiwala said via email. "Brain volume reduces with age and more severely with dementia （痴呆）.Smaller brain volume also predicts worse performance on memory testing，" she explained. "While alcohol only made a small contribution to this （0.8%），it was a greater contribution than other 'changeable' risk factors，" she said，explaining that changeable risk factors are "ones you can do something about，in contrast to aging."
   The team also investigated whether certain drinking patterns，beverage types and other health conditions made a difference to the impact of alcohol on brain health.They found that there was no "safe" level of drinking—meaning that consuming any amount of alcohol was worse than not drinking it.They also found no evidence that the type of drink—such as wine，spirits or beer—affected the harm done to the brain.
   However，certain characteristics，such as high blood pressure or obesity，could put people at higher risk，researchers added.So we shouldn't forget alcohol affects all parts of the body and there are multiple health risks.

（1）How was the observational study developed？
A．By comparing brain and health.
B．By comparing people and the researchers.
C．By comparing information and gray matter.
D．By comparing alcohol intake and brain scans.
（2）What is the result of the research？
A．Drinking wine have no impact on brain.
B．Drinking spirits have more impact on brain.
C．Drinking alcohol can cause reducing of brain volume.
D．Drinking alcohol can lead to obesity.
（3）Which of the following groups has a higher risk when drinking alcohol？
A．People drinking more types.
B．People with high blood pressure.
C．People selling the wine.
D．People with diabetes.
（4）What can be the best title for the passage？
A．Stay Away From Alcohol.
B．Lack of Sleep.

205293. （2021•阎良区•高二下期末） There you are in your favorite clothing store.You don't really need to buy anything，but everything is so cheap and stylish!Before you know it，you leave the store with bags and bags of new clothes.
   On the surface，this doesn't seem so bad.However，there are a lot of hidden costs behind the cheap price tags（标牌）.To put it plainly，the fashion industry is terrible for the planet.Not only does it use up a lot of resources，but it also heavily pollutes the environment with chemicals，microplastics and unwanted waste.
   Fashion is one of the least sustainable industries on the planet，commented Michael Stanley-Jones."We've all become our own waste managers，hoarding fashion waste in our houses，" he noted.

   He said that he chose to do this because HIV infections are a big problem in China. "I feel such a strong responsibility that it's not just to make a first，but also to set an example，" he told the Associated Press（AP）.
   The announcement has caused an international storm.Some believe that success will benefit the families of HIV patients.Considering that HIV is "a major and growing public health threat，" attempted gene editing for HIV is justifiable，Harvard Medical School genetics professor George Church told AP.
   However，others think that gene editing technology is still unsafe to attempt.
   "Gene editing itself is experimental and is still associated with unexpected mutations（突变），causing genetic problems early and later in life，including the development of cancer，" Julian Savuleseu，a specialist in ethics at the University of Oxford，told BBC News.
   Others fear that this could open the door to using gene editing technology to make designer babies.It might give the parents the choices to choose everything from their baby's eye color to intelligence.
   "You could find wealthy parents buying the latest upgrades for their children，leading to even greater inequality than we already live with，" Marcy Darnovsky，director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics，told BBC News.

（1）Why did He Jiankui make the genetically edited babies？
A．Because he wanted to be a leader in gene editing technology.
B．Because he tried to do his part in fighting against HIV infection.
C．Because he attempted to help the twin girls who were infected with AIDS.
D．Because he wanted to become the first to make the genetically edited babies in the world.
（2）What does the underlined word "justifiable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean？
A．Absurd.

205509. （2020•莲湖区•高二下期末） A recent study conducted by researchers from Canada's Wilfrid Laurier University found that the snakes actively seek out socialization with their peers （同伴），but also they are extremely particular about who they spend time with．However，snakes used to be thought of as solitary animals．They are seldom seen hanging out in groups．
   A team of researchers led by Morgan Skinner and Dr．Noam Miller selected 40 non-poisonous garter snakes （袜带蛇）．Ten were purchased from a snake keeper and the rest were caught in the wild．After marking each snake with a spot of color to allow for easy identification，the researchers placed ten snakes inside each of the four plastic shelters．
  Skinner photographed each snake group twice a day before removing them from their shelters．After cleaning the areas thoroughly to rid them of any familiar smells，the reptiles were rearranged into different groups，and returned to the enclosure．A camera fixed over the shelters allowed the scientists to track the animals' movements for a total of eight days．
   When Skinner and Miller analyzed the images，they found that regardless of where they were placed，the snakes always slipped back to their original "friends" forming groups of three or eight inside the small shelters． "They can tell others apart，" Miller said．
   Gordon Burghardt，a biologist，says， "The study should help convince people that snakes have more social intelligence than most of us realize．"
   Miller believes the research could help with snake protection efforts．Endangered snake species relocated to safer habitats often leave these areas．Now，conservationists may be able to avoid that by transferring entire snake groups to the new location．Alternatively，they could also spray（喷洒）the new habitat with the species' smells to make transplants feel at "home．"

（1）What does the underlined word "solitary" mean in paragraph 1？
A．Causing fear．
B．Existing only in small numbers．
C．Causing death or illness．
D．Enjoying being alone．
（2）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．The findings can contribute to snake conservation．
B．Snakes like to spray smells on the trees．
C．Snakes are easy to adapt to new locations．
D．Snakes tend to stay in safer habitats．
（3）Which of the following proverbs can be used to describe the findings？
A．Barking dogs don't bite．
B．The early bird catches worms．
C．Things of one kind come together．
D．A friend in need is a friend in deed．
（4）In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？
A．Entertainment．
B．Science．
C．Education．
D．Health．

205275. （2021•阎良区•高一上期末） A team of conservationists （环境保护主义者）captured 14 Loa water frogs earlier this month in northern Chile，a wildlife group reported.
   The International Union for Conservation of Nature （IUCN） lists the Loa water frog as "critically endangered".The not-for-profit Global Wildlife Conservation group said the 14 frogs were in poor condition when they were discovered in late June.The animals were small and struggling because of a lack of food and water.
   The Loa water frogs are known to live only in a single body of water near Calama，in Chile.The city sits in the middle of the Atacama Desert，where water is in great demand.
   There was little water in the area where the frogs were found，the conservation group reported.The frogs' environment had mostly dried up because water is being taken away and used for human activities，the group said.The activities include mining，agriculture and land development. "All of the frogs had been pushed into a tiny pool of muddy water，the organization said. "The team collected the last 14 individuals and brought them to the National Zoo of Chile to start a conservation breeding program."
   Zoo specialists are closely watching the small creatures and trying to give them everything they need to survive and be healthy.Conservation groups have called on Chile's government to take steps to halt any illegal water usage that threatens the frogs' natural environment.They would also like to see creation of a government-supported shelter to protect the animals.
   Jon Paul Rodriguez heads the IUCN's Species Survival Commission.He suggested that an emergency plan be developed to prepare the Calama area for the frogs' return.
   "We need to work very hard to restore their environment because it's pointless to breed them if they don't have a home to go back to in the wild，" Rodriguez said.

（1）What do we know about the frogs when they were rescued？
A．They were looking for food.
B．They were in good condition.
C．They were approaching death.
D．They were moving for new water source.
（2）What has made these frogs endangered？
A．Lack of water.
B．Water pollution.
C．Human hunting.
D．Extreme climate.
（3）What does the underlined word "halt" in Paragraph 5 mean？
A．Improve.
B．Increase.
C．Change.
D．Stop.
（4）What did Jon Paul Rodriguez suggest humans do for these frogs？
A．Keep them healthy.
B．Recover their home.
C．Raise them in the shelter.
D．Prevent them living in the wild.

204981. （2022•铁路中学•高二上期末） A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
   The system，called Driver Alert，aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%-40% that are caused by tiredness.Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.
   Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband（腕带）.The device，worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey.After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel（方向盘）.A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver's response.
   Tiredness is directly related to a driver's response time.Usually，a watchful driver would use about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds，it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
   In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest.If the driver's response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
   The device has been delivered to the department's laboratories for testing.If these tests，scheduled for six months' time，are successful，the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.

（1）Driver Alert is a device that can         .
A．keep drivers asleep
B．change drivers' response accuracy
C．reduce the possibility of accidents
D．protect drivers when accidents happen
（2）What does the underlined word "fatigue" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Illness.
B．Tiredness.
C．Carelessness.
D．Impoliteness.
（3）How does Driver Alert work？
A．By being used as a nonstop alarm all the time.
B．By squeezing the steering wheel on the way.
C．By reminding or warning drivers if necessary.
D．By being worn on drivers' hands every moment.
（4）What do we know about Driver Alert？
A．It must be fixed on the driver's cars.
B．It aims to prevent drivers from sleeping.
C．It has gone through testing at laboratories.
D．It isn't available to drivers at the moment.

202635. （2020•西安中学•四模） In the early days of sea travel，seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits．Many of them died of scurvy （坏血病），a disease of the blood which causes swollen gums （牙龈），livid white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion．On one occasion，in 1535，an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew desperately ill．The men's lives were saved by Iroquois Indians who gave them vegetable leaves to eat．Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors' diet and Captain Cook，on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand，established the fact that scurvy could be prevented by the supply of fresh fruit for the sailors．
   Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious disease if certain important elements are missing．These elements are called "vitamins"．Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them，A，B，C，D，and so on．Different diseases are associated with shortages of particular vitamins．Even a slight lack of Vitamin C，for example，the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables，is thought to increase significantly our susceptibility （敏感度） to colds and influenza．
   The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet，including a variety of fruit and green vegetables．It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet，say during extended periods of religious fasting （斋戒），or when trying to lose weight，that it is necessary to make special supply to make up for the missing vitamins．

（1）Scurvy is a disease that is caused by       ．
A．salted meat and biscuits
B．exhaustion
C．lack of some essential substances
D．need of fresh vegetables and fruits
（2）To avoid such disease as scurvy，it's better for us       ．
A．not to eat much salted meat
B．to supply our diet with various vitamin pills
C．to have more fresh fruit and vegetables
D．to develop a good dietary habit
（3）Based on the passage we can safely conclude that if our diet is not comprehensive enough，       ．
A．vitamin pills are of no use
B．nutritious food might be unhealthy
C．vegetable leaves can be a good treatment
D．religious fasting may help out a lot
（4）Which of the following sentences best expresses the main idea of the passage？
A．Shortages of Vitamin C may cause serious diseases．
B．Fresh fruit and green vegetables contain enough nutrition that is necessary for a healthy body．
C．Vitamins play a vitally important role in people's health．
D．A good mixed diet normally supplies sufficient vitamins for us．

202673. （2020•西安中学•三模） Even though vaccination（接种疫苗） is a powerful defense against disease，some voices are against it．In a recent letter，the American Medical Association（AMA） urged big social media including Amazon，Facebook and Google to take action to defend medical science on their platforms．
   It said that vaccine-preventable diseases that do harm to the public health like measles（麻疹） are on the rise．Measles cases worldwide jumped more than 30% in 2017 compared to 2016，with the largest increases seen among nations in the Americas，Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean．Vaccine-preventable diseases are increasing largely because many people are unwilling to get vaccinated．And some of these people even encourage others to refuse vaccination．So this year，the World Health Organization （WHO） declared the anti-vaccination movement a top-10 health threat．
   "Vaccination is one of the most cost-effective ways of avoiding disease - it currently prevents 2-3 million deaths a year，and a further 15 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved，" WHO said．
   A research article published in 1998 in a medical journal suggested a link between a vaccine and the development of autism（自闭症） in young children．Although the research has been suspected and many other studies have proved that vaccinations do not cause autism，the article is still impressing people strongly today．Another reason for the growth in the anti-vaccination movement is widespread misinformation on social media，which can turn people against vaccination．If a concerned parent consistently sees information in their Newsfeed that casts doubt on the safety of vaccines，it could cause them to disregard the advice of their children's physicians and public health experts and refuse to follow the recommended vaccination schedule．So access to true information about vaccine safety is badly needed．

（1）What does the AMA require social media to do on their platforms？
A．Unite to develop new vaccines．
B．Stop vaccine misinformation．
C．Give up the anti-vaccination movement．
D．Introduce vaccine-preventable diseases．
（2）Why does the author mention the measles cases？
A．To declare measles can be prevented．
B．To prove vaccination doesn't work well．
C．To show the result of anti-vaccination．
D．To explain the reason for avoiding vaccination．
（3）Which of the following DOESN'T play a role in the anti-vaccination movement？
A．The costs of vaccination．
B．People's concerns over vaccine safety．
C．A research relating vaccination to autism．
D．Misinformation spread on social media platforms．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards vaccination？
A．Doubtful
B．Ambiguous
C．Positive
D．Negative
