Stopped by here for Valentine’s Day and we were not disappointed. We got 3 different dishes all from the Malaysian portion of the menu as none of us had ever had Malaysian food.

Figure skating, speed skating, and ice hockey can all trace their beginnings to early civilizations that fastened animal bones to their feet to skate on ice, according to A Dictionary of British History. Bone runners found in Switzerland date as far back as 3000 B.C. and there is also evidence of ice skating in Scandinavia in the Middle Ages.
Modern skating likely got its start in the Netherlands, where it was considered a national recreation in the early 17th century, when nobles skated on frozen canals for fun. Wealthy Europeans picked up the sport while visiting the Netherlands, and British royals soon brought skating back to England in the late 1600s. When the Thames froze over in 1683, skating was among the many recreations at London’s famous winter fair on the ice, which King Charles II attended.
At the end of the 18th century, American ballet dancer Jackson Haines transformed the sport into what is now known as figure skating by introducing elements of ballet to the ice. According to the Dictionary of American History, Haines skated in bear and ballet costumes and toured with exhibitions across Europe, where he was most admired in Vienna, Austria.
Ice skating evolved into other sports, including speed skating and ice hockey. Speed skating has been around as early as Dutch people dared to race on their skates, but hockey developed in 19th century Canada as an icy version of field hockey. Both were well-established by the 1900s, so they were on the list in the first Winter Olympics.
Since the 1900s, different ice skating clubs have been founded around the Western world. As interest grew, the clubs’ membership increased over the next 50 years. By the end of 20thcentury, ice skating was so widespread that it was one of the few recreations enjoyed by almost every westerner.
4. Which of the following is the oldest sport according to the text?
A. Ice hockey. B. Speed skating. C. Bone running. D. Figure skating.
5. Who contributed most to the figure skating?
A. British royals. B. Jackson Haines. C. Dutch people. D. King Charles II.
6. In what order did the author write the passage?
A. In order of importance. B. In order of place.
C. In order of time. D. In order of frequency.
7. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How ice skating came into spotlight.

The number of adults worldwide with dementia(痴呆) could rise from about 57.4 million in 2019 to 152.8 million by 2050, driven by factors like midlife obesity. smoking and social isolation, according to a study published Thursday by the Lancet.
While improvements in education are forecast to reduce dementia cases by 6.2 million in2050, researchers said this would be canceled out by trends in obesity. high blood sugar and smoking, which are estimated to cause an additional 6.8 million cases, the Guardian reported.
Risk factors for dementia also include stress, depression, physical inactivity, diabetes, heavy alcohol consumption, head injury, exposure to air pollution and low education, researchers said.
The rate of dementia is estimated to rise in every country, ranging from a 1,926% increase in Qatar to a 27% increase in Japan, while dementia cases in the U.S. are expected to increase by about 99.67%.
Researchers estimated that dementia cases would increase by roughly 117% by 2050 due to growth of the elderly population alone, a factor forecast to have the severest impact in East Asia. To reduce the risk of dementia, policymakers must support low-cost programs promoting exercise, a healthy diet and quitting smoking, lead author Emma Nichols,a researcher at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, told the Guardian.
Dementia is a syndrome(综合症),usually progressive, which harms memory and other functions of thought beyond what would usually be expected from aging. Though dementia can result from Alzheimer's disease or a stroke, it is not an unavoidable consequence of aging, the World Health Organization said. A 2020 study published by the Lancet suggested that low education might be a risk factor for dementia, because improved health education helps decrease the risk of head injury or of too much alcohol drinking. $818 billion is the annual global cost of treating dementia,the WHO estimated in 2017.Famous figures who were diagnosed with dementia include actress Rita Hayworth, actor James Stewart, former President Ronald Reagan and former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
8. What can we learn from the Guardian report?
A. The effects of education on dementia are ignored.
B. There will be 6.8 million cases of dementia in 2050.
C. Education alone can't change the worsening trend in dementia.
D. Obesity, high blood pressure and smoking are the main causes of dementia.
9. Who might have the best lifestyle according to the text?
A. Qataris. B. Chinese. C. Americans. D. Japanese.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Dementia can't be avoided as a consequence of aging.
B. Aging has the similar effect on people as dementia does.
C. we can cure dementia if we spend $818 billion every year.
D. Dementia influences people equally regardless of their social status.
11. Where is the text probably from?
A. A government report. B. An education paper.
C. A health magazine. D. A product brochure.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了痴呆症的成因、现状和治疗。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While improvements in education are forecast to reduce dementia cases by 6.2 million in2050, researchers said this would be canceled out by trends in obesity.high blood sugar and smoking, which are estimated to cause an additional 6.8 million cases, the Guardian reported.(据预测,教育水平的提高将在2050年减少620万痴呆症患者,但研究人员表示,这将被肥胖趋势抵消。据《卫报》报道,高血糖和吸烟,预计将导致另外680万例病例。)”可知,我们能从《卫报》的报道中了解到,仅靠教育无法改变老年痴呆症日益恶化的趋势。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The rate of dementia is estimated to rise in every country, ranging from a 1,926% increase in Qatar to a 27% increase in Japan, while dementia cases in the U.S. are expected to increase by about 99.67%.(据估计,每个国家的痴呆症发病率都在上升,从卡塔尔的1,926%到日本的27%,而美国的痴呆症病例预计将增加约99.67%。)”可知,从三个国家和病例增长率可以看出,日本的增长比例最小,为27%,因此日本人的生活方式最好。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Famous figures who were diagnosed with dementia include actress Rita Hayworth, actor James Stewart, former President Ronald Reagan and former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.(被诊断为痴呆症的著名人物包括女演员丽塔·海华斯、演员詹姆斯·斯图尔特、前总统罗纳德·里根和前英国首相玛格丽特·撒切尔。)”可知,许多社会名流都患有痴呆症,因此该疾病并不和社会地位有直接关系,故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。分析全文内容可知,本文主要介绍了痴呆疾病的原因、现状和治疗,显然和健康相关,因此很可能来自于健康类杂志。故选C项。

A new front has opened in the battle to dominate digital entertainment. Netflix announced earlier this summer that it was investing into video games. Last month it acquired game developer Night School Studio for a secret sum. Amazon, which has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into gaming, finally had a hit with new online game New World.
The video game industry has become one of the world’s most popular and profitable forms of entertainment. Video games generated nearly $178 bn in global income last year, according toa market research or on That fire is estimated to outweigh $200 bn by 2023.
For Amazon and Netflix, adding games to their platforms could attract more subscribers. Or at the very least dissuade existing ones from leaving. After a jump caused by pandemic in users, Netflix dropped 430,000 subscribers in the second quarter but regained some of these in the third quarter. Netflix has said in the past that in the “attention economy”, it competes against videogames just as much as video streaming services.
But gaming is a difficult market to enter. For every successful game, there are thousands of failures. Netflix hones to translate the success of shows like Stranger Things into video game hits. But good games need more than recognizable names. Development requires different infrastructure and talents.
Just ask Disney. The entertainment king shut down its games studio in 2016 and transformed into a licensing model. Also, Amazon spent near $1bn acquiring video-streaming service Twitch, launched gaming streaming service Luna and canceled at least four video games before New World.
Established game makers such as Sony and Microsoft all make money from selling games and consoles (游戏机). Free-to-play mobile games get users to make in-game purchases. Netflix’s plan is to add games for free and as a loss leader to win more subscribers.
The sweet spot may not be in making games at all. Apple and Google sell and distribute games from their app stores and take a cut of as much as 30 percent from each sale. No wonder established game makers are more concerned about middlemen than new entrants.
12. What does the underlined word “dissuade” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. forbid. B. discourage. C. release. D. protect.
13. Why does the author mention Disney and Amazon in Paragraph 5?
A. To show the success made by the two companies.
B. To indicate the difficulty in subscribing to video games.
C. To compare video gaming services with video-streaming services.
D. To prove the challenge in making money through gaming industry.
14. What is Netflix’s plan for gaming service?
A. It will attract subscribers to buy its game.
B. It wants to profit from its game consoles.
C. In-game purchases are its sweet spot to make money.
D. It uses free games as a hook to attract more subscribers.
15. What’s author s attitude towards video game industry?
A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了电子游戏作为新兴趋势被各大平台所纳入的现状,也讨论了平台的策略和未来趋势。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“For Amazon and Netflix adding games to their platforms could attract more subscribers(对于亚马逊和Netflix在他们的平台上增加游戏可以吸引更多的用户)”可知,平台加入电子游戏元素,可以吸引一些新的订阅用户。由此推测划线句子意为“或者(这样做)至少劝阻现有的用户离开”,即dissuade意为“劝阻”,与discourage同义。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“But gaming is a difficult market to enter. For every successful game, there are thousands of failures. Netflix hones to translate the success of shows like Stranger Things into video game hits. But good games need more than recognizable names. Development requires different infrastructure and talents. (但游戏是一个难以进入的市场。对于每一个成功的游戏,都有成千上万的失败。Netflix致力于将《陌生人》等节目的成功转化为视频游戏的成功。但好的游戏需要的不仅仅是可识别的名字。发展需要不同的基础设施和人才)”可知,游戏市场经营具有挑战性。由此推知,第五段提到Disney和Amazon的就是为了说明这种挑战性。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Free-to-play mobile games get users to make in-game purchases. Netflix’s plan is to add games for free and as a loss leader to win more subscribers.(免费玩手机游戏可以让用户进行游戏内购买。Netflix的计划是增加免费游戏,并作为亏损领先者赢得更多订户)”可知,Netflix的计划是用免费游戏吸引新的订阅者。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。综合全文可知,文章第二、三段指出视频游戏带来了很多新用户并且创造了利润,第四到第六段指出该产业带来的挑战。由此推知,作者对视频游戏的态度是客观的。故选A。
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。
I am going to discuss some of the choices available to you and which jobs are best suited to you: popular jobs, more unusual jobs or everyday jobs.
___16___ Some jobs may seem dull but are important to society, while others can appear exciting but are actually difficult and boring. One example is the so-called “cool job” of being a model or an actor. These people seem to be living a better life than others. Actually, they have to make far greater efforts than ordinary people and only a few of them are successful. Meanwhile, those who are successful and famous have to deal with constant media attention.___17___
Other popular professions include careers in law or business. Many people have ambitions to become successful as a lawyer or business person. ___18___ These can be well-paid and interesting jobs, but you also have to work long hours.
On the other hand some people find more unusual jobs suited to their talents and interests. Once I met a young man whose job was to check noise pollution in a park zone. He loved camping, and his job was like a holiday for him. ___19___ There are many other people doing unusual jobs, and they love their jobs, which might not be popular, but are interesting.
Likewise, many ordinary jobs, such as shopkeepers, drivers and barbers, may look plain, but they are necessary to society. Without them, we would not go about our daily lives.
When you think about your future career, remember some cool jobs can be rather difficult and that some ordinary jobs can be quite important. ___20___
A. It does not seem that cool now, does it?
B. It was easy to see that he enjoyed doing his job.
C. All of them together, though, help society function.
D. He’s bored as his only neighbors were the birds in the nearby trees.
E. When choosing a career, you should consider all the aspects of a job.
F. They wear diamonds, go to parties and relax on cushions in private jets.
G. However, they may ignore the stress and pressure that come with these jobs.
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本篇用简洁的语言分析了社会上存在的不同职业,并深入探究了职业表面与其背后所需要付出的努力和社会价值。
【16题详解】
根据下文“Some jobs may seem dull but are important to society, while others can appear exciting but are actually difficult and boring. (有些工作看似枯燥,但对社会很重要,而另一些工作看似令人兴奋,但实际上既困难又无聊)”可知,我们在选择职业的时候往往只看到其表面。由此可知,我们在选择职业的时候,应全面考虑这一职业的本身。E项“在选择职业时,你应该考虑工作的各个方面”符合语境,引出下文。故选E。
17题详解】
空处位于段末,应承接上文。根据上文“One example is the so-called “cool job” of being a model or an actor. These people seem to be living a better life than others. Actually, they have to make far greater efforts than ordinary people and only a few of them are successful. Meanwhile, those who are successful and famous have to deal with constant media attention (一个例子是所谓的“酷工作”,即当模特或演员。这些人似乎过着比其他人更好的生活。事实上,他们要比普通人付出更大的努力,只有少数人成功。同时,那些成功和出名的人必须面对媒体的持续关注)”可知,看起来很酷的职业其实并非如此。A项“现在看起来没那么酷,是吗?”符合语境,承接上文,cool是关键词。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Many people have ambitions to become successful as a lawyer or business person.(许多人都渴望成为一名成功的律师或商人)”和下文“These can be well-paid and interesting jobs, but you also have to work long hours. (这些工作报酬丰厚,而且有趣,但你也必须长时间工作)”可知,商人和律师是很多人梦想的职业,这也工作虽然报酬高但工作时间很长。由此可知,人们可能忽略了高报酬带来的压力。G项“然而,他们可能会忽略这些工作带来的压力”符合题意。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Once I met a young man whose job was to check noise pollution in a park zone. He loved camping, and his job was like a holiday for him. (有一次我遇到一个年轻人,他的工作是检查公园区域的噪音污染。他喜欢露营,他的工作对他来说就像一个假期)”可知,这个年轻人的工作对他来说像是度假,由此推知,他很喜欢自己的工作。B项“很容易看出他喜欢做他的工作”符合语境。故选B。
20题详解】
空处位于文末,应为总结性语言。根据上文“When you think about your future career, remember some cool jobs can be rather difficult and that some ordinary jobs can be quite important. (当你考虑你未来的职业时,记住一些很酷的工作可能相当困难,而一些普通的工作可能非常重要)”即使是普通的工作也很重要,自有其意义。故所有职业的存在都是为了社会的正常运转。C项“然而,所有这些都有助于社会运转”符合语境。故选C。

___________
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Jim,
Learning that you show great interest in tea, I’m writing to share with you some information about it. While tea drinking started in China, its true origin remains a mystery. Legend has it that about 5,000 years ago, Shennong came across tea when dried leaves blew into a pot of boiling water. Gradually, it became a common drink enjoyed by all Chinese people.
Drinking tea is of great benefit. It helps us keep fit by reducing fat and blood pressure. Moreover, it contributes to a calm mood. Not only is it about refreshing the mind and body but also about appreciating the harmony between man and nature.
Hope we can drink tea together one day in the future.

Li Hua

57. 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。
It was unusually cold that year on December 25. The snowstorm swept across my city, with biting wind piercing (划破) the silence of the empty street.
I was a nurse on duty in the emergency room. Seated behind my desk, I stared through the glass window into the dark sky. I didn’t think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas, when almost all the people were enjoying their family members’ company. Just then, five people showed up in front of my desk, a pale woman and four small children. I rose to my feet immediately.
“Are you all sick?” I asked suspiciously.
“Yes.” she said weakly and lowered her head.
But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems, things got a little confusing. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong, but I didn’t say anything and explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded, “Take your time; it’s warm here.”
On a hunch (出于直觉),I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address—they were homeless. And the waiting room was warm and comfortable.
I looked out at the family huddled (蜷缩) by the Christmas tree. The little one was clapping his hands and stamping his feet, with his eyes fixed on the television screen while the bigger one was pointing at the television and yelling something at her mother. The oldest one was looking at an ornament(装饰) on the Christmas tree.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
I returned to the nurses’ station.
___________
We prepared a big dinner for our Christmas guests.
___________
【答案】I returned to the nurses’ station. I told others that we had a homeless family in the waiting room. Hearing what I said, all the nurses fell silent. The nurses, having complained about working Christmas, turned to compassion for a family just trying to get warmth on Christmas. We made up our minds to do something for them and went into action instantly, much as we do when there’s a medical emergency.
We prepared a big dinner for our Christmas guests. They happily wolved down everything we prepared.Then we collected from different departments candies, crayons and other things available to give them as presents. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients, our team worked to meet the needs, and exceed the expectations of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day. Later, as the family were ready to leave, one little girl came running back, showing her appreciation, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”
