21、While no one can avoid all stress, you can work to handle it in healthy ways that increase your potential to recover.
Eat and drink to improve your health. Some people try to reduce stress by drinking alcohol or eating too much. 【1】 But actually these may add to stress in the long run. Caffeine also can worsen the effects of stress. Consuming a healthy, balanced diet can help to prevent stress.
Exercise regularly. 【2】 Consider non-competitive aerobic (有氧的) exercise, strengthening with weights, or movement activities like yoga or Tai Chi, and set reasonable goals for yourself. Aerobic exercise has been shown to release endorphins—natural substances that help you feel better and maintain a positive attitude.
【3】 People who use nicotine often refer to it as a stress reliever. However, nicotine actually places more stress on the body by increasing physical arousal and reducing blood flow and breathing.
Reduce triggers (触发) of stress. If you are like most people, your life may be filled with too many demands and too little time. 【4】 You can free up time by practicing time-management skills like asking for help when it’s appropriate, setting priorities, pacing yourself, and reserving time to take care of yourself.
Study and practice relaxation techniques. Taking the time to relax every day helps to manage stress and to protect the body from the effects of stress. You can choose from a variety of techniques. These include deep breathing, imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness meditation. There are many online and smart phone apps that provide guidance on these techniques. 【5】
A．Examine your values and live by them.
B．Stop using tobacco and nicotine products.
C．These actions may seem to help in the moment.
D．You don’t have always to meet the expectations of others.
E．For the most part, these demands are ones we have chosen.
F．Although some need purchase costs, many are available free of charge.
G．Besides physical health benefits, it has been shown to be a powerful stress reliever.
22、The coffee giant Starbucks is once again a popular search on the internet, and there are people who think that coffee is now replacing tea as the most popular drink in China.But, is that really so?
Starbucks opened its biggest café shop in the world in Shanghai this Wednesday.The coffee giant says this will not only give customers the usual great coffee, but also give them the full experience of how the magical coffee beans get roasted to become those wonderful drops that make up your favorite drinks.It is like the Willy Wonka factory for coffee lovers.The company is expanding aggressively, and opening a new store every 15 hours on average in China.
China has very rich and splendid tea culture.What seems like the most enjoyable thing is to drink a cup of tea on a quiet day that is full of "Zen" spirit. But the fast-pace of life sometimes doesn't allow that. So there are tea shop owners locating their shops in the downtown area in order to provide quick service for customers. Take Heytea for example. It's one of the most highly rated tea shops and it has now opened several new branches in the business areas of big cities like Beijing. Waiting in lines for longer than one hour is common.China's consumption of tea is immeasurable. According to a research of USC Institute, in China, the average person consumes 400 cups of tea per year.
So it is unlikely that coffee can replace tea as the country's main drink any time soon.The expanding coffee shops are not there to replace tea, but to provide people with another choice that they can use to enjoy life.
【1】Which of the following statements is correct about Starbucks?
A．The shop opened in Shanghai simply works as a drinking place.

B．Coffee will replace tea in Chinese drinking market.
C．Both coffee and tea will make people’s life enjoyable.
D．Coffee and tea gain the same popularity in China.
23、Elephants are endangered animals because of efforts to hunt them for their ivory tusks(象牙).Selling ivory has been illegal for more than 30 years worldwide. So, 17-year-old Anika Puri was astonished to see a market filled with rows of ivory jewelry and statues on her visit to India 4 years ago.
Curious, Anika did some research and discovered a shocking statistic: Africa’s forest elephant populations declined by about 62 percent between 2002 and 2011. Years later, the numbers continue to drop. As a wildlife lover, Anika wanted to do something to help protect the animals still threatened by illegal hunting.
“Drones(无人机)are currently used to detect and capture images of hunters, but they are not that accurate,” Anika explained. However, after watching videos of elephants and humans, she saw how the two differed in their movements andspeed. She realized she could use it to “increase the detection accuracy of potential illegal hunters”.
Over the next two years, Anika worked on inventing a software, which can classify a figure as either an elephant or a human based on the speed, group size,how it turns and other patterns in videos.
The software is four times more accurate than existing detection methods and is much cheaper. It uses a $ 250 camera that plugs into a smart phone, which is then attached to a drone.The camera records thermal infrared(红外线的)videos using heat, not visible light. This allows the device to produce real-time inferences as it flies over parks as to whether objects below are humans or elephants, no matter in daylight or at night.
“Research isn’t a straight line or a smooth sailing,” Anika said. “It has made me more resourceful. It also helped me develop into a more innovative thinker. I have learned a lot along the way.”
【1】Why was Anika surprised?
A．Elephant populations were small.
B．Elephants were losing their habitats.
C．Elephant tusks were illegally traded.
D．Elephants were an endangered species.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The speed.
B．The difference.
C．The work.
D．The software.
【3】What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．The low cost of the camera.
B．The flight pattern of the drone.
C．The components of the device.
D．The advantages of the software.
【4】Which word best describes Anika according to the last paragraph?
A．Optimistic.
B．Tolerant.
C．Talented.
D．Curious.
24、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the peculiar roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various appealing factors of price, quality, and use, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition, however, is not common in most of the health-care industry.
In the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician — and even then there may be no real choice — it is the physician who usually makes all significant purchasing decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday”, whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is rare that a patient will challenge such professional decisions or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as serious.
This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care. The physician must certify the need for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be discharged. The patient may be consulted about some of the decisions, but in general it is the doctor’s judgments that are final. Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer”. As a consequence, the medical staff represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.
Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants— the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government)— the physician makes the essential decisions for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally meets most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital, and for the most part the patient plays a passive role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care choices are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, the economy directed at patients or the general is relatively ineffective.
【1】The author’s primary purpose in writing this passage is to ________.
A. urge hospitals to reclaim their decision-making authority
B. inform potential patients of their health-care rights
C. criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patients
D. analyze some important economic factors in health-care
【2】It can be inferred that doctors are able to determine hospital policies because ________.
A. most of patient’s bills are paid by his health insurance
B. it is doctors who generate income for the hospital
C. some patients might refuse to take their physician’s advice
D. a doctor is ultimately responsible for a patient’s health
【3】According to the author, when a doctor tells a patient to “return next Wednesday”, the doctor is in fact ________.
A. advising the patient to seek a second opinion
B. warning the patient that a hospital stay might be necessary
C. instructing the patient to buy more medical services
D. admitting that the first visit was ineffective
【4】The author is most probably leading up to ________.
A. a proposal to control medical costs
B. a study of lawsuits against doctors for malpractice
C. an analysis of the cause of inflation (通货膨胀) in the US
D. a discussion of a new medical treatment

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and it’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a silly bicycle accessory(配件) into a life lesson I carry with me today.
We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done) and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.
It was summer and, one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed — and there it was in the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked at me and I knew — I knew — I had to have it.
“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her. “What a neat basket.”
I tried to hold off at first. I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldn’t stand it any longer: “Mom, please can I please, please get it? I’ll do extra chores for as long as you say. I’ll do anything, but I need that basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?”
I was desperate.
“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, “If you save up you could buy this yourself.”
“By the time I make enough it’ll be gone!”
“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.
“He can’t hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please?”
“There might be another way,” she said.
