21、   Shop with Your Doc is part of a broader and still growing movement in US medicine to shift the focus away from simply treating disease toward caring for the whole person. It is meant to help people make educated, healthy choices one grocery cart at a time. Across the country, hospitals are setting up food banks and medical schools are putting cooking classes on the curriculum. Nonprofits are connecting medical centers with community resources to ensure that low-income Americans have access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

For centuries, Western medicine’s mission was to cure disease. But over the past generation, two generation, two significant trends are of concern to the medical community, says Timothy Harlan, executive director of Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine at Tulane University in New Orleans. Healthcare costs began to soar(激增), and relatively inexpensive, poor-quality food became more common. “There’s a very straightforward link between people improving their diets and improving the condition that they have,” Dr. Harlan says.

The connection drove the medical and nonprofit communities to rethink their approach to health. What emerged was the concept of the “social determinants of health”－the notion of taking into account the biological, physical, and socioeconomic circumstances surrounding a patient. A healthy person isn’t just someone who is free from disease, the theory goes; he or she also enjoys “a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being.”

The question the medical community now faces is how to get patients－especially low-income families－to recognize these determinants and make it possible for them to eat and live healthier. In Boston, medical experts responded by creating an on-site pantry(食品室) at Boston Medical Center. Since its founding in 2002, the pantry has evolved into a kind of nutrition center where primary care providers at BMC send patients for food. Today the pantry, which gets 95 percent of its stock from the Greater Boston Food bank, hosts free cooking classes and serves about 7,000 people a month. The Greater Boston Food Bank has also launched its own initiatives, striking partnerships with four community health centers across the state to offer free mobile produce markets. The organization also helped develop toolkits(软件包) that map local pantries, markets that accept government food vouchers, and other resources.

At Tulane in New Orleans, Harlan is leading the development of a curriculum that combines medicine with the art of food preparation. His philosophy: Doctors who know their way around a kitchen are better at helping their patients. And empowering patients to take charge of their own diets is one way to help them deal with the incredible costs of health care, Harlan says. The curriculum has since been adopted at 35 medical schools around the United States. Chipping away at bad habits is a good place to start getting patients to think about the choices they make for themselves and their families, say Dr Maureen Villasenor, the Orange County pediatrician(儿科医生).

【1】The aim of Shop with Your Doc is to _______.

A. help patients relax before an operation

B. assist patients in finding food fit for them

【2】Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly talk about _______.

A. the role Western medicine has been playing

B. how a new concept of health came into being

D. why low-income families are less reliable on healthcare

【3】What do we know about the Greater Boston Food Bank?

A. Its cooking classes are free of charge.

B. It was founded at the beginning of the 21st century.

C. It helps people locate pantries and markets.

D. It treats many a patient from BMC.

【4】What can be inferred about the curriculum developed by Harlan?

A. It appeals to a number of US medical schools.

B. It is specially designed for doctors in communities.

C. Its content has little to do with medicine.

D. Its philosophy is questioned by Dr. Maureen Villasenor.

22、Procrastination(拖延) may be a problem that everyone struggles with now and then. It can be tough to begin or advance major projects or challenging tasks timely. 【1】.

Get down to your work.

Force yourself to begin. This might seem too simplistic, but even sitting down to begin a project or buying some necessities for a home repair, for example, can help change your mindset. 【2】, especially when it comes to overcoming procrastination.

Avoid interruptions as much as possible. When you finally sit down to complete a task, it can be discouraging to get interrupted repeatedly, whether it’s an impolite roommate or an electronic device like your phone. 【3】.

Increase your productivity.

Break tasks down into manageable sizes. 【4】. Breaking down projects into smaller goals can help you stop procrastinating and face up to your work, thus acting quickly.

Reward yourself for completing tasks. Even if your project is something you dislike, you can help yourself get started by promising yourself something enjoyable upon its completion. Having something to look forward to can inspire you to fight procrastination.

【5】.

Don’t procrastinate because of a desire for perfection. Our obsession(痴迷) with perfection can cause us to procrastinate indirectly. It can lead to working endlessly on a project until it’s past its deadline. Accept that you only need to do your best and then hand in your work. Don’t procrastinate just because you think it might not be perfect.

A．Set specific goals for yourself

B．Maintain reasonable expectations

C．After all, not everyone can make it – no sooner said than done

D．The old saying that getting started is half the battle is really true

E．However, there are practical ways for you to fight procrastination

F．This can cause a break and make it easy to go back to procrastination

G．Pressure from worrying about huge projects can cause you to put off them

23、   On Tuesday, Chinese health authorities confirmed the sixth death from the coronavirus which shares genetic similarities with the one responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome, and revealed that 15 medical workers in Wuhan had been infected, with one in a critical condition. The number of people known to be infected continues to rise with new cases still being reported.

With the head of the Chinese government expert team saying on Monday that human-to-human transmission has been confirmed and the Spring Festival travel rush under way, in which hundreds of millions of people will be crisscrossing the country and traveling overseas for the holiday, it is widely expected that more cases, and even deaths, will be reported in the days to come.

The new coronavirus has already been classified in the same category as the SARS outbreak, meaning compulsory isolation for those diagnosed with the disease and the potential to implement quarantine measures on travel, which shows that the authorities are prepared and resolved to safeguard people's health.

The World Health Organization has so far given a thumbs-up to Chinese efforts. It said earlier this month that it was "reassured of the quality of the ongoing investigations and the response measures implemented in Wuhan, as well as the commitment to share information regularly".

The coronavirus has so far spread to three other Asian countries, which indicates the urgency for medical scientists all over the world to work together against the common threat to human health. Epidemics know no borders and a local disease could easily morph into a global crisis, which is why the WHO is holding an emergency committee meeting on Wednesday to decide whether to declare an international public health emergency.

The speed of response is testimony to improved global preparedness for such epidemics. Now concerted efforts based on the experience accumulated by Chinese health experts and their foreign counterparts during the joint fights against such epidemics as SARS, swine flu and avian flu are needed to win the fight against the latest health hazard.

【1】What do we know about the coronavirus according to the passage?

A．It is the same virus that led to SARA.

B．The Spring Festival travel rush will not worsen the control of the virus.

C．Whether it can be transmitted from person to person is still not known.

D．Carriers diagnosed with the virus should be quarantined.

【2】What does the underlined word “morph” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Translate.

B．Crash.

C．Change.

D．Divide.

【3】What is the WHO’s attitude towards the efforts made by China?

A．Dissatisfactory.

B．Favorable.

C．Pessimistic.

D．Unpredictable.

【4】What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?

A．The entire world is now being threatened with coronavirus.

B．The speed of response and preparation for emergency should be largely improved.

C．More experienced experts are needed to ensure the victory of the battle against the virus.

D．Combined efforts from home and abroad should be made to fight against the epidemics.

24、An island spider decides which of its three kinds of webs to make depending on the location. Spiders usually make only one kind of web, but the Wendilgarda galapagensis species-found only on Cocos Island, off the western coast of Central America—can make three different webs.

High above ground it makes “aerial” webs attached to nearby stems and leaves. Nearer to the ground it makes “land” webs with long horizontal strands (缕) secured to branches and with vertical strands fixed to the ground. Finally, over pools it makes “water” webs that are a bit like the land webs, but with the vertical strands attached to the water surface itself.

Darko Cotoras at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco wondered whether this flexibility indicates that the spider is undergoing speciation (物种形成), branching into three species, each with unique behaviours and exploiting a different food source. So with his colleagues he ran genetic analyses on 142 of the spiders.

To their surprise, the results suggested they all belonged to the same species. This means they haven’t genetically diversified since they arrived at the volcanic island up to 2 million years ago.

The researchers then marked the 2-millimetre-long spiders and moved them to different locations on the island to track their behaviour. For example, they took water-web-making spiders away from water sources and placed them in high bushes nearby. Again, the researchers were surprised to see that the spiders often built a new web with the architecture suited to the new location.

“They show an unusually wide variety in habitat choice, web design, and construction behavior.” Cotoras says, “This flexibility probably helps these animals live on such a small, remote island.”

【1】What can we learn from the text?

A．Cocos Island spiders can only live on remote islands.

B．Cocos Island spiders came into being two million years ago.

C．Cocos Island spiders have branched into three different species.

D．Cocos Island spiders make diverse webs according to the environment.

【2】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．A Master of Different Webs

B．A Secret to webs Designing

C．The Mystery of Genetic Speciation

D．The Survival Skills of Cocos Island spiders

【3】Where is the text most probably from?

A．A biology textbook.

B．A survival guidebook.

C．An academic paper.

D．A science magazine.
