11．Like the rest of us，scientists have long suspected the healing capacity（修復(fù)能力）of a good hug.Unlike the rest of us，they've gone about trying to prove it.
"Laboratory studies suggest that things like hugs help us feel safer.They can also make us less sensitive to physical pain and less reactive when we're faced with threatening experiences，" says Michael Murphy.He is a research professor in the department of psychological sciences at Texas Tech University. "This lab work has shown that hugs and other touch behavior are related to stress.The more stress we have，the more our heart rates and blood pressure go up.At this time，hugs and other forms of personal touch may give off all sorts of feel-good chemicals，so that stress can be reduced."
"There's a lot that we still need to learn，and there's a lot we don't know，" Murphy says. "However，what seems to be rising up is that hugs，as well as other forms of loving and gentle touch，are really powerful.They remind people that they're cared about and that they have someone in their corner."
"We expect touch.When we were born，we were placed in our mothers' arms almost immediately.In that first year of our life，we spend a lot of time being held by other people.And as we grow up，we seek out hugs and touch as a way of connection.I think what we have lost in the past few years are these really easy opportunities to be reminded of connection. " While he was at Carnegie Mellon，Murphy was the lead author of a hug-centered 2018 article in the scientific journal PLOS One.In a series of interviews with 404 adults over a two-week period，the researchers found that receiving a hug is associated with the attenuation of negative emotions that occur on days with interpersonal conflicts.That is to say，generally，hugs help to reduce the negative impacts that personal conflicts may cause in our daily lives.
（1）What can we infer about hugs from the laboratory studies？
A．They show people's good social relationships.
B．They can cure us of our mental disease.
C．They can put much pressure on people.
D．They make us feel calm and at ease.
（2）Why do people seek out hugs and touch as they grow up？
A．To recall childhood memories.
B．To keep connected with others.
C．To solve relationship problems.
D．To express their social politeness.
（3）What does the underlined word "attenuation" in the last paragraph probably mean？
A．Expression.
B．Influence.
C．Suffering.
D．Reduction.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．The Power of Hugs
B．How to Reduce Stress
C．How to Care for Others
D．The Importance of Interpersonal Relations組卷：6引用：3難度：0.6 -

13．Big，old trees are dying faster than in the past，leaving younger，less biodiverse forests that store less carbon worldwide.They give us paper and fuel，as well as vital ecological services-like cleaning the air，storing carbon and providing habitat.We're talking about trees，of course.But human changes to the environment appear to be causing profound changes to trees around the world.
In a new study，scientists reviewed global research on trends in tree seedlings growth and death.They combined those data with an analysis of deforestation.And they found that worldwide，older trees are dying at a higher rate than in the past due to factors like rising air temperature，wildfires，drought and pathogens（病原菌）.
"And most of the drivers of that decrease in large，old trees are increasing themselves，such as temperature is going up，droughts are more severe，wildfires，windstorms and deforestation are all on the increase-although variable across the globe-they're generally increasing.And so for both the loss has already occurred，but we expect more continued loss of big，old trees." said Nate McDowell，an earth scientist at Pacific Northwest National Lab，who was one of the study's authors.
"So if we have an increasing rate of death，particularly of the larger，older trees，what's left are the younger trees.So that's why，on average，through the loss of bigger，older trees，our forests are becoming inherently（天生地） younger and shorter."
This trend is a problem，because old trees are vitally important.
"For sure，the increase in death does limit the carbon storage of an ecosystem and can force the system to become a carbon source to the atmosphere.The second reason we care is from a biodiversity perspective：old trees tend to house a higher biodiversity than young forests do.And the third reason is aesthetic：as a society，we care about these trees.We have national parks named after these big trees.So there's a personal reason for people to care about this as well."
（1）What has the new study found about the forests？
A．Forests are getting younger and shorter.
B．Many factors cause the death of big old trees.
C．Old trees are beneficial to humans in many ways.
D．The death of big old trees influences biodiversity.
（2）What do the underlined words "the drivers" in Paragraph 3 refer to？
A．The death rates of big old trees.
B．The trends in the death of big old trees.
C．The human changes to the environment.
D．The factors causing high death rate of old trees.
（3）How is the significance of big old trees illustrated？
A．By giving examples.
B．By analyzing reasons.
C．By listing facts.
D．By providing figures.
（4）What's the purpose of the text？
A．To call on people to protect old trees.
B．To illustrate a phenomenon about old trees.
C．To share the findings of a new study about trees.
D．To analyze the reasons why some trees are dying faster.組卷：32引用：1難度：0.6

14．Common public speaking problems The use of "I feel"， "I think" and "maybe"
In the question-and-answer session of the speaking competition，many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like "I feel"， "I guess"， "I hear"， "maybe" and "perhaps"．These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view． （1）
Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point．（2）．Instead of the empty-sounding "I guess"，using facts，together with a clear conclusion based on those facts，is far more likely to be popular with an audience．
Using only one speaking style
"Don't stick to the same tone． （3）．For example，when they spoke about their dreams some sounded romantic．Others used humor．Very few used several different styles together．Try mixing more than one style，rather than just sticking with the same one．
Irresponsible answers
Public speaking is different from personal conversations．You're responsible for your words．（4）．So you should think twice before you talk．Don't be like the student who，when asked about his opinion on book piracy（盜版），started by saying he supported it．
Talking around the topic rather than directly answering it
You should focus on one point and give a clear solution．The key is to work out what question is being asked．Is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view？
Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusion． （5）
A．It can be boring．Try to mix it up．
B．Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence．
C．Even though you want to answer quickly，you don't want to sound foolish．
D．This lacks the support of facts and seems not to be reliable for the judges and audience．
E．Remember that judges are not judging you on whether they agree，but on your ability to say what you think clearly．
F．Confidence is extremely important in public speaking as it lets a speaker sound more convincing．
G．Deliberate gestures and affected（做作的）expressions of feelings are improper in a successful speech．組卷：3引用：3難度：0.5

27．Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration for millions through her story of faith，determination and hope.And now her story has become a major movie which is entitled Soul Surfer.
Born into a family of surfers on February 8，1990，on the island of Kauai Hawaii，Bethany began surfing at a young age.At the age of eight，Bethany entered her first surf competition---- winning both the short and long board divisions and sparking a love for surf competition within her spirit.
On October 31，2003，at the age of 13.Bethany was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark while surfing just off the shore of Hawaii.Bethany said， "It came out of the blue.I had no warning at all；not even the slightest sign of danger on the horizon.The waves were small and inconsistent，and I was just kind of rolling along with them，relaxing on my board with my left arm dangling （懸擺） in the cool water.I remember thinking，'I hope the surf picks up soon…'"
"That's all it took：a split second.I felt a lot of pressure and a couple of lightning fast tugs（猛拽） .Then I watched in shock as the water around me turned bright red.Somehow，I stayed calm.My left arm was gone along with a huge piece of my surfboard…"
Her friends had to get her to the beach which took 20 minutes of paddling.After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries，Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude.
In January 2004，Bethany made her return to surf competition and with no intention of stopping，Bethany continued to enter and shine in competitions.Initially，she adopted a custom-made board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm，making it easier to paddle，and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm.
Just over a year after the attack，she took first place---- winning her first National Title.Now she competes with the world's best and travels the globe.
（1）What was Bethany Hamilton's dream when she was young？ （No more than 10 words）
（2）What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3？ （No more than 5 words）
（3）According to the passage，how did Bethany make a recovery？ （No more than 10 words）
（4）How did Bethany surf when she started surfing again？ （No more than 15 words）
（5）Please explain how you are inspired by Bethany Hamilton. （No more than 20 words）組卷：15引用：3難度：0.5
