Last year, brilliant’ botanists from Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, discovered, identified and named 114
spectacular new species of plants and fungi (真菌) from around the world. Let’s find out more about some of
Kew’s most wonderful new finds.
ROYAL MUSHROOM
NAME: Queen’s hedgehog fungus
FROM: Surrey, England
Named after the late Queen Elizabeth II, this rare fungus was found in an ancient forest in White Down,

NAME: Giant Bolivian waterlily
FROM: Bolivia. South AmericaCheck out this huge waterlily — its 3m wide leaves are big enough for a kid to float on! The big species has
just won three Guinness World Records for largest waterlily, largest waterlily leaf and largest undivided leaf. And
get this — although the giant plant was only named last year, a dried sample has been kept in Kew’s own

Growing up in a Jamaican American household, food was an important part of my childhood. I remember my
grandmother preparing fried dumplings and curry mutton, jazz music playing in the background. Food was our
greatest treasure. Food brought the family together. Food celebrated new beginnings and eased the wounds of life’s
untimely endings.
When I was 8, I was diagnosed with a muscle disease, which caused me to spend most of my childhood in
hospital. rooms and wheelchairs, slowly gaining weight by swallowing prednisone (肾上腺皮质激素) hidden
inside mint chocolate chip ice cream. My mom made it her duty to help me lose the weight through strict dieting.
I’ve tried every single one. In fairness, my mother did the best she could. As a single mom, she felt this brought us
closer. However, as an adult, I began to experience a paralyzing fear of food. My “I’ll start a new diet on Monday”
mind-set lasted for 16 years as I uncontrollably ate and abused my body. I was worried that I was not attractive
enough. So obsessed and afraid no one would hire me as an actress if I didn’t win the battle with the numbers on
the scale, in February 2011 I was send to hospital.
We do extreme things to our bodies because of those numbers, numbers that cannot talk with us or love us. I
have had to stop judging my belly, stop starving myself, stop getting on the scale and staring at those numbers. I
have come to the realization that my life is more important than those numbers on the scale and that the quality of
the life I live is more important than how I look in the mirror.
4. What role did food play in author’s childhood?A. It strengthened the family bends.
B. It was a source of family income.
C. It’s the only treasure the family had.
D. It’s the way to celebrate Jamaican tradition.

We normally think of bacteria as our enemies. But they aren’t all bad. Our bodies are full of them and it turns
out we can’t live without them. From the moment we’re born, we acquire, and develop an internal ecosystem of
symbiotic bacteria and other microbes (微生物) -they are interdependent players in our body. In fact, there are
roughly as many microbial cells in our bodies as human cells. This microbial world is called our microbiome (微生
物组).
While some microbes can make us ill, we need our microbiome to survive. Combined, they are every bit as
essential as our heart, our lungs, or our brain. Most of the microbiome is found in our gut (肠道). They are essential
for digestion and help regulate hormones and boost our immune system.
A healthy collection of microbes seems to be vital for our well-being, protecting against some of the biggest
health threats. On the other hand, having an unhealthy microbiome may be a contributing factor for many common
diseases. Our modern lifestyles, western diets and overuse of antibiotics might all be having a harmful effect on our
internal ecology.
So how do you develop a healthy microbiome in the gut? Well, it seems that the more diverse your microbial
population is, the better. And the best way to increase your diversity is to eat a wide range of plant-based foods.
Research shows that people who have at least 30 plant-based elements in their diet every week have a wider range
of bacteria in their gut, and that’s linked to better weight management, better heart heath and better mental health.
One easy way to boost your numbers is to add a teaspoon of mixed seeds to your breakfast.
The influence of your gut microbes goes a lot further than you might think. In the last 20 years, we’ve learnedthat they communicate constantly with the brain, perhaps even having control over your mood and emotions.
8. Which can best replace the underlined word symbiotic in the first paragraph?
A. Coexisting.B. Beneficial.C. Special.D. Complicated.
9. Which statement might the author agree with?
A. Plant-based diets make people healthier.
B. Microbiome is more important than our brain.
C. There's some link between the diversity of bacteria and health.
D. The overuse of antibiotics leads to distinct increase in microbiome.
10. What might be discussed after the last paragraph?
A. Examples of gut microbes.
B. Gut microbes and mental welling-being.
C. Interactions of microbes in our body.
D. Ways to identify beneficial gut microbes.
11. What's the best title for the passage?
A. Gut microbes: Fighters in the body
B. The microbiome: A cure of all diseases
C. Gut microbes: Protectors of mental health
D. The microbiome: A contributor to our health
D
A study expands positive evidence for a new screening tool that directly engages preschool children during
clinic visits to assess their early literacy skills. The tool, called The Reading House (TRH), is the first of its kind. It
has the potential to identify reading difficulties as early as possible, according to researchers at Cincinnati
Children's Hospital Medical Center.
TRH is an assessment developed by John Hutton and his team for kids aged from 3 to 5. Screening takes just
about five minutes and assesses performance levels for kids aged from 3 to 5. It addresses a significant gap in ways
to screen early literacy skills efficiently and directly. The tool, which is fun for kids, could be used in places like
primary care or preschool settings. The screening measures core skills typically appearing in the preschool age
range, including vocabulary, rhyming, alphabet knowledge and print concepts. All are skills predictive of reading
success and often associated with reading difficulties.
The study involved 70 healthy children – 34 boys and 36 girls---between 3 and 5 years old from various
socioeconomic background. The children completed standardized tests of important literacy skills: vocabulary,
rhyming arid rapid automatized naming. Fifty-two of these children also successfully completed MRI (磁共振成像), including the measurement of the gray matter surface of their brains. The thicker cortex (皮质), particularly in
left-sided areas supporting language and reading, has been associated with higher skills that are predictive of
reading outcomes.
Many children arrive at kindergarten unprepared to learn to read, especially those from minority and
economically poor backgrounds---estimated at over 50% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds in the U. S.
and over 25% overall. “By screening early during clinic visits, we can target effective interventions that help these
children better prepare for kindergarten and improve reading outcomes –literally, snaping thein brains to read. ”
said Hutton.
12. What might be the purpose of creating TRH?
A. To identify the best reading apps for kids.
B. To develop preschool kids' literacy skills.
C. To discover kids' reading problems early.
D. To study key factors in kids' development.
13. What can we know about the new screening tool?
A. It lacks reliability.B. It has operational advantages.
C. It covers a wider target group.D. It's modelled after conventional tools.
14. Which participants may be more capable of reading?
A. Older children from minority groups.
B. Younger children from economically advanced areas.
C. Children with complex cortical patterns in their brains.
D. Children with the thicker cortex in the left-sided areas of their brains.
15. What attitude does Hutton have to TRH?
A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Uncertain.D. Conservative.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选
项。
It’s obvious that our society favors the outgoing personality, so being introverted (内向的) has always been
seen as something that needs to be “fixed”. However, there is no fault in being introverted. ____16____
Introverts have hidden powers. ____17____. While others are busy chatting, introverts observe things most-
people are unaware of. Sometimes we can even read people. While it may seem introverts are always zoned out,
we’re actually analyzing and thinking of creative ideas to one day share with you.
Introverts also keep the world balanced. In a world that can’t stop talking, the ability to listen to what eachother has to say is an important virtue that will assist us in building peaceful relationships of understanding.
____18____. By listening to whatever people pour out, introverts help maintain the order of the world.
Introverts can self-recharge. Though the outgoing may gain their energy through mixing in crowds, introverts
are self-recharging powerhouses. ____19____. Their energy is found through loneliness.
,
____20____. In the noise of chatterboxes their voices often get drowned out. There’s nothing more
disappointing to an introvert than finally taking advantage of a moment to speak, only to be interrupted by the
extroverts (外向者）. While extroverts may speak every thought that comes to mind, an introvert will choose their
thoughts carefully and only speak of the ones they think their best to share. So next time, all you have to do is to be
willing to listen.
A. Unluckily, introverts are faced with a big challenge.
B. And this is exactly what our introverts are born with.
C. Introverts have shown the potential to be great leaders.

A young and successful manager had a new Jaguar, whose side* door was dented （凹陷的）. The damage
was very noticeable, but the manager never bothered to repair it. He kept the dent there to remind him of one
afternoon as well as this message： Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to getyour attention!
The manager was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new. Jaguar. He was
watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As
his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick crashed into the Jag's side door! He braked sharply and drove
the Jag backward to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed
the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and who are you?”
The young boy apologized. "Please mister ... please, I’m sorry. . . I didn't know what else to do," he begged.
“I threw the brick because no one else would stop. . ." With tears corning down his face, the little boy pointed
to a spot just around a parked car.
“My elder brother fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up. he said.
Still crying, the boy asked the astonished manager, "Would you please help me get him back into his
wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me. ”
Moved beyond words, he hurried to the spot with the boy. Another boy was lying on the, ground bleeding. He

Dear George，
Hearing that you are interested in Chinese Lion Dance， I’m writing to introduce something about it
to you to satisfy your curiosity.
The Lion Dance， also called wushi in Chinese， is a traditional folk art in China， which is
usually performed on festivals to drive away bad luck and pray for a happy life， for lions are
considered brave and auspicious in Chinese culture. Generally， two dancers cooperate with each other to
make flexible and vivid gestures of the lion with one holding the head and the other the body of the
lion. Years of tough martial art training is needed before dancers have a chance to perform the difficult
movements. Now， not only is wushi popular in China， but it is well renowned in any place where
Chinese live.
I sincerely invite you to witness the Lion Dance in China someday. I am sure that you will
appreciate this joyful performance.
Yours，
Li Hua
