Mice and rats have long been used in medical research because of their biological similarities to humans. Now, scientists have trained rats to drive small vehicles created for them. One of the main findings of the experiment was that the driving activity seemed to help the rats relax.
Researchers at the University of Richmond in Virginia led the experiment. The team built tiny cars out of plastic and other materials. The vehicles had an opening at one end where electrical wires were attached. By touching one of the three different wires, the rat could control the direction of the vehicle.
Researchers trained 17 rats over several months to drive around the experiment containers. The animals proved that they could be trained to drive forward as well as in other directions to get to the sweet treats placed inside the containers.
The researchers examined levels of two hormones(荷尔蒙) in the rats—one causes stress and another reduces it. All rats that took part in the training had higher levels of the hormone that reduces stress. The research suggests the increased relaxation levels could be linked to the enjoyment of successfully learning a new skill. The team also found that the rats that drove themselves showed higher levels of the stress-fighting hormone than those that simply rode in small cars controlled by humans.
Lambert said the most exciting result of the experiment for her was about the possible effects on humans. The research may open new areas of non-drug treatments for people suffering from mental health problems.
"There's no cure for schizophrenia or depression and we need to catch up," she said. "And I think we need to look at different animal models and different types of tasks and really respect that behaviour can change our neurochemistry(神经化学)."
Speaking to the British-based magazine New Scientist, Lambert said her team is planning to continue experiments to learn more about how the rats learn to drive. The new research will also examine why some activities appear to reduce stress, and which areas of the brain are involved in the process.
11.What did the experiment find
A.Rats are able to drive vehicles. B.Rats feel relaxed when driving.
C.Rats can be used in medical research. D.Rats are biologically similar to humans.
12.What does the finding of the hormone examination of the rats suggest
A.One hormone causes stress and another reduces it.
B.Acquiring a new skill brings about joy.
C.Levels of hormone are controlled by stress.
D.Relaxation contributes to enjoyment.
13.Why is the research significant
A.It may lead to a way to treat human mental problems.
B.It will affect the way that humans drive their cars.
C.It may help people train animals better.
D.It can surely change neurochemistry.
14.What does Lambert's team want to find out next
A.Which parts of the rats' brains control their emotions.
B.Why rats have the ability to fight stress.
C.When activities affect the levels of stress.
D.Why certain activities reduce stress.

Dr. Melissa D. Young is a chemist and Certified Diabetes Educator at the American Association of Diabetes Educators who holds a very personal interest in advocating annual flu vaccination(疫苗接种). Twelve years ago, her mother passed away after flu infection. Young's mother had a chronic(慢性的) lung condition, but she had refused to get a flu vaccine because she mistakenly thought it would make her suffer from the flu.
It's a sad, but all too common story. According to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, of US adults who were hospitalized for flu infection in 2018—2019, 93 percent had at least one medical condition.
In the US, nearly half of all adults aged 45—64 and 80 percent of those aged 65 and older have multiple chronic health conditions that put them at high risk of flu-related complications, including the heart attack, the stroke, and even death. To wrestle with this public health threat, the medical community is working together to protect the most vulnerable(易受伤害的) patients.
Flu viruses cause a reaction that can last for several weeks. This flu-related reaction can make existing chronic conditions worse, lung disease and including heart disease, diabetes. Additionally, adults with diabetes are six times more likely to be hospitalized and three times more likely to die from flu-related complications than people without diabetes.
Yet there remains low awareness of the importance of annual flu vaccination for adults with chronic health conditions. Despite the abundance of public health guidance urging people to get vaccinated each year, increasing flu vaccination rates has proved extremely difficult. Vaccination coverage among adults has increased slightly over the past decade, but remains about 40 percent, leaving more than half of US adults vulnerable each year.
11.Why does the author mention Young's mother in Paragraph 1
A.To summarize the following paragraphs. B.To introduce the topic of the text.
C.To show the background of the story. D.To provide some advice for readers.
12.What do we know about flu infection and chronic conditions
A.They affect each other. B.They exist mainly in America.
C.They hardly happen to the young. D.They are the main reasons for death.
13.What attitude do most American adults have towards flu vaccination
A.Positive. B.Flexible. C.Uncertain. D.Uncaring.
14.What may be the best title for the text
A.The benefits of flu vaccination
B.Flu infection is increasing in the US
C.Flu infection is a threat to American adults
D.The difficulty in carrying out flu vaccination
三、七选五
Concussion(脑震荡) happens when the brain is shaken, often in a car crash or a fall or a strike to the head in sports. Concussion can be mild, but doctors may order a CT scan to look for a more serious injury. CT provides a detailed image of the brain. But a recent study warned that ①_____.
A national team led by two doctors at the University of California, Davis, studied hospital records from thousands of children with head injuries. They found that in many cases, ②_____.
The researchers have developed rules to predict if a head injury is serious enough for a scan. For children under two, doctors would advise them against it if there are normal mental activities, no swelling in the back of the head, no feeling of a broken bone in the skull and ③_____. Doctors should also consider how the child was injured and whether the parents say the child is acting normally.
For patients from two to eighteen, ④_____.
Earlier this year, British Journal of Sports Medicine published new guidelines for concussion in children and teens. International experts said ⑤_____. The brain also needs a "rest", they say, by restricting activities like video games, texting and watching TV. The experts say young people often take longer than adults to recover from concussion.
A. no bleeding from the wounds
B. no loss of consciousness for more than five seconds
C. lying in bed with any movement should be the best way
D. they should not return to sports or school until fully recovered
E. more children than necessary are being exposed to radiation this way

G. the risk of developing cancer from the radiation outweighed the risk of a serious brain injury

二、阅读理解
While I was teaching in China, I became interested in acupuncture, which dates back to the Stone Age. It was after returning from China and witnessing how successful it had been that I reached the decision to become an acupuncturist myself. I was lucky to discover that the town where I lived had a famous college of traditional acupuncture.
Alternative medicine such as acupuncture is particularly important to me because I firmly believe that it works on the level of the body, mind and spirit. This is very different from Western medicine which is supposed to work only on the body. When a person is ill, it is believed that there's something in their life that is putting their energy levels out of balance. What alternative therapies (疗法) try to do is help to gradually push the energy levels back into balance. The result is that any disease present might naturally disappear as it cannot survive when energy levels are balanced.
I've treated a wide range of people for various conditions, for example, people suffering from stress and anxiety. To acquire a qualification in acupuncture, I took a course that lasted three years. I had to go to the college about one weekend in three. I also had a large amount of homework and practical work to do, which I did two or three evenings a week. This involved locating points on different people. As you can imagine, this isn't straightforward as people are of different sizes and have differently shaped bodies.
In the future I hope to set up an alternative health clinic which will involve myself as an acupuncturist and perhaps other people as well. I'd like to work with people who provide treatments such as rubbing (搓) and pressing people's feet in a special way to help them relax and feel well. I'd like to set it up somewhere in the countryside, where people can feel free from the stress of life.
11.The author decided to learn acupuncture ________.
A.when he was teaching in China B.when he was studying in college
C.after he came back to his mother country D.after he discovered an acupuncture school
12.What does the author think of acupuncture
A.It prevents disease. B.It treats people as a whole.
C.It has an immediate effect. D.It helps improve people's lives.
13.The acupuncture course the author took was _______.
A.time-consuming and challenging B.learner-centered and effective
C.difficult but interesting D.painful but helpful
14.What do the underlined words "other people" in the last paragraph refer to
A.Other acupuncturists.
B.Other alternative therapists.
C.Other doctors who use Western medicine.
D.Other people who want to escape from stress.

解析：考查名词复数。phenomenon是可数名词,前面没有限定词,应用复数形式。故填phenomena。
3.答案：Anxiety
解析：考查名词。设空处在句中作主语,应用名词形式。这里表示抽象概念,应用不可数名词,且位于句首。故填Anxiety。
4.答案：measuring

9.答案：Dating
解析：句意为: 回溯到几千年之前, 汉语书面文字还是一种图画文字。date在此是非谓语动词作句子的状语, 与句子主语是逻辑上的主动关系, 所以应用现在分词。故填Dating。
10.答案：including
解析：句意为: 根据新的研究, 可持续经济增长涉及不同的因素, 包括政府、公众和适当的政策。此处表示对different factors的列举, 意为"包括......在内"。故填including。

③根据后文中的"immediately stop what you're doing, drop flat to the ground, and roll around until you put the fire out"可知,如果你的衣服着火了要停下来,趴在地上并打滚。故选B。
④根据前文中的"Prevent the smoke if you can't get out"可知,本段讲述着火时在室内的安全措施,故A项"如果你不能逃离你的家,不要惊慌"符合语境。故选A。
⑤根据后文内容可知,你可以把一个床单或别的东西,最好是白色的东西挂在窗外,表示你需要帮助,直到第一个响应者到达那里。故G项"如果你被困在二楼的房间里,要去一个人们能发现你的地方"符合语境。因本段讲述被困在二楼房间时的自救措施,因此G项紧密联系上下文,符合逻辑。故选G。
