Passage 2
Previous studies have shown that drinking moderate(适度的) amounts of alcohol might
have some health benefits—but a new study published in JAMA Network Open suggests that
might not be the case after all.
Researchers from the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of
Victoria reviewed 107 studies published between January 1980 and July 2021 that involved
4.8 million participants.
They found that drinkers who consumed less than an ounce of ethanol(酒精)—the form
of alcohol found in beer,wine and liquor—showed no significant increase in lifespan
compared to non-drinkers.
“The paper provides further evidence that the idea there are health benefits from
moderate alcohol use is not based on strong science,” said lead researcher Dr.Tim
Stockwell,a professor at the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research,University of
Victoria.
A surprisingly large number of studies in the review contained serious errors,the doctor
noted.“These studies make people who continue to drink appear healthy by comparison with
people who stop drinking for health reasons,” he said.“Doctors should not advise their
patients to drink for health reasons.”
Dr.Chris Tuell,clinical director of addiction services at the University of Cincinnati
College of Medicine,was not involved in the study but said the findings were not
surprising.“No amount of alcohol is good for you,” he said.

“The studies that have indicated that one or two drinks can prevent strokes are not true,”
the doctor stated.“Blood pressure and stroke risk rise steadily if people drink more alcohol.”
The effects of alcohol use are impacted by many factors,Dr.Tuell noted.
Those include a person’s genetics,the body’s water content,the metabolism(新陈代谢)
of alcohol in the body and any mental health issues.
“A small amount of alcohol can be just as problematic for some people,especially if
alcohol has been a ‘go-to’ coping mechanism(途径) for life stressors,” he explained.
The doctor added that some people are more susceptible because of genetics,so the
amount one person drinks could affect that person much differently than it would affect
someone else.
1.What’s the negative effect of the errors in the review?
A.Doctors will advise their patients to drink more.
B.People wrongly believe drinking alcohol is healthier.
C.People who continue to drink look better.
D.People will stop drinking for health reasons.
2.What will Dr.Chris Tuell suggest people do?
A.Take alcohol to relieve stress.
B.Keep moderate alcohol intake.
C.Try one or two drinks every day.
D.Don’t drink any amount of alcohol.
3.What does the underlined word “susceptible” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Fond of drinking.
B.Sick of alcohol.
C.Likely to be affected.
D.Energetic with alcohol.
4.Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.The Less You Drink,the Healthier You Are
B.There’s More to Drinking than Its Health Benefits
C.The Amount of Alcohol Affects Different People Differently
D.Drinking a Little Alcohol Every Day Won’t Help You Live Longer
Passage 3
When students think about college classes in the United States,they often think about the
ones that will result in a degree.However,most American universities permit students to take
4
several classes called “electives” outside of their study program,or major.In fact,most
universities require students to take elective classes in order to gain general knowledge.
At the University of North Dakota’s medical school,students studying to be doctors can
take Jeremy Holloway’s class called “Legacy Building with Older Adults”.Holloway’s class
helps medical students make connections with elderly people by setting up in-person
conversations.He wants to help young students learn to see people first and not think of them
as their job positions or titles,such as doctor,nurse or professor.
At Indiana University,Robert Kunzman teaches about learning from failure.The class is
called “Failure:How We Can Learn from It”.He believes taking a class outside of their main
study program is a good way to “broaden their horizons and ways of thinking about the
world”.
The course tells students how people in many different professions learn from
failure.Kunzman said,“I think that what’s important is to develop a capacity to make good
judgments,to make good decisions about the chances that we take,and to develop strategies
that allow us to learn from the times when we fail,when things don’t work out.”
Kunzman agrees with Holloway,who said,“There’s a need for these kinds of
experiences.” They believe students cannot get a full education by only taking the courses
that are required for their major.
Sometimes,Kunzman said,it is hard for students to understand it might be good to make
time for an elective.After all,many feel pressure to finish school and start working.But,he
noted,the educational experience can be “supplemented and supported by courses that allow
the student to think about questions that are important to having a meaningful career and a
long-term impact on their society and themselves.”
1.Why do students in most universities take electives?
A.To get their college degree.
B.To improve their study program.
C.To acquire common knowledge.
D.To better understand their major.
2.What do you think of the purpose of Holloway’s class?
A.To lead his students to visit the elderly frequently.
B.To teach medical students how to treat the elderly.
C.To create as many job positions or titles as possible.
D.To teach future doctors how to talk with elderly people.
5
3.What does Robert Kunzman do in his class?
A.Giving students the chance to make right decisions.
B.Helping students develop a capacity to make judgments.
C.Discussing risk and failure in life with the students.
D.Encouraging students to stand out in different professions.
4.What does the last paragraph mean?
A.The end goal of the elective classes.
B.The pressure of the students to finish school.
C.The importance of having a meaningful career.
D.The agreement between Kunzman and Holloway.

Passage 1
[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。充满激情和冒险精神的阿特利教育机构,正在招募经验
丰富、充满激情的兼职在线教师。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一个表格中的Salary:Negotiable competitive hourly rate 可知,
这份工作按小时付报酬,因此C 项正确。
2.C 细节理解题。根据Job Responsibilities 部分第一段中的“an experienced and
passionate educator”以及Job Requirements 部分的最后两条“—Patient,reliable and
responsible —Outgoing personality with good people skills”可知,C 项符合题意。
3.B 细节理解题。根据Job Responsibilities 部分中Locations:Online 可知,教师要在网上
授课,因此选B 项。
Passage 2
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。人们通常认为适度饮酒有益于身体健康,并延长寿命,但
新的研究表明,任何量的饮酒都对身体有害。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“A surprisingly large number of studies in the review
contained serious errors,the doctor noted.‘These studies make people who continue to drink
appear healthy by comparison with people who stop drinking for health reasons,’”可知,这些
错误会让人们错误地认为喝酒有益于健康,因此B 项正确。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Dr.Chris Tuell,clinical director of...said the findings
were not surprising.‘No amount of alcohol is good for you,’ he said.”可知,他建议人们不能
喝酒,因此D 项正确。
6
3.C 词句猜测题。由本段中“so the amount one person drinks could affect that person
much differently than it would affect someone else”可知一个人的饮酒量对这个人的影响
和对其他人的影响大不相同。再根据画线词后面的because of genetics 可知,这里的意思
是:有些人因为遗传而更容易受到影响,因此C 项正确。
4.D 标题判断题。文章第一段是本文的主旨段。先前的研究表明,适量饮酒可能对健
康有一些好处,但一项新研究表明,情况可能并非如此。根据第三段“They found that
drinkers who consumed less than an ounce of ethanol...showed no significant increase in
lifespan compared to non-drinkers.”可知,适量饮酒对身体也没有好处,并不能让人长寿,故
选D 项。
Passage 3
[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。并非所有的大学的课程都是为了获得一个学位。美国
多数大学要求学生选修一些课程以获得专业课以外的知识。北达科他大学的Jeremy
Holloway 与印第安纳大学的Robert Kunzman 两位教师分别讨论了他们的选修课并发表
了自己的观点,强调选修课对学生未来工作与生活的重要性。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In fact,most universities require students to take
elective classes in order to gain general knowledge.”可知,很多大学开设选修课的目的是拓
宽学生的知识面,因此C 项正确。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Holloway’s class helps medical students make
connections with elderly people by setting up in-person conversations.”可知,Holloway 的课
程通过建立面对面的对话,帮助医科学生与老年人建立联系。由此可推知D 项正确。
3.C 细节理解题。从第三段中的“Robert Kunzman teaches about learning from
failure.The class is called ‘Failure:How We Can Learn from It’.”以及第四段中的“and to
develop strategies that allow us to learn from the times when we fail,when things don’t work
out”可知,Robert Kunzman 选修课培养学生应对生活中出现的失败与风险的能力,因此C
项正确。
4.A 段落大意题。最后一段说,选修课程可以让学生思考一些重要的问题,这些问题对
他们有一个有意义的职业生涯,对他们的社会和他们自己产生长期影响。最后一段的大
意是选修课程的最终目的,因此A 项正确。
