Many people drink protein shakes regularly to lose weight, build muscle or both. Others, however, question the belief that protein shakes are better than normal, high-protein foods. So what is the truth?

Protein shakes are dietary supplements (饮食补充剂) designed to help people consume more protein than they otherwise would. Protein shakes can be ready-made drinks. Besides, people can mix their own shakes using protein powder. Protein powder can be made from plants or animals. Plant-based protein shakes can include soy, pea or rice protein. Animal-based protein powder is usually made from cows’ milk. Those who want to avoid milk can also get protein powder made from egg whites.

Studies indicate that consuming protein shakes is helpful if you want to build muscle. They can also improve your performance and help you recover while exercising. And if you’re losing weight, protein shakes can help to make sure that you don’t lose muscle.

Consuming protein shakes can also help you lose weight. Eating a high-protein diet helps you feel full, so it’s easier to resist eating too much. High-protein diets can also make your body burn energy quickly. When you use more energy than you take in through food, you lose weight.

However, you don’t have to drink protein shakes to have a high-protein diet. Many wholefoods are rich in protein. In fact, the people in many high-protein diet studies didn’t drink protein shakes. The studies proved the benefits of eating protein-rich foods. Moreover, these foods contain other natural nutrients besides protein. In contrast, many protein shakes contain sugar or artificial sweeteners, which are not healthy.

To sum up, yes, protein shakes are convenient and they work. However, they are not your only choice for eating a high-protein diet.

24. What’s paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. What protein shakes are.                    B. How protein shakes are made.

C. Where protein shakes come from.             D. Why people drink protein shakes.

25. What can be inferred about consuming protein shakes?

A. It can burn your fat directly.

B. It is beneficial to your muscle.

C. It can take the place of eating other food.

D. It is the best choice for the people in a high-protein dict.

26. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?

A.    B.    C.    D.

27. Which word best describes the author's attitude to protein shakes?

A. Skeptical.   B. Objective.     C. Tolerant.        D. Conservative.

C

Stereotypes are widely held but very general, simplified opinions about other people. Many of us start to use stereotypes at school — the cool kids or the hot kids — we know all the different ones by heart.

Looks, clothes, personal traits (特征) and interests are all aspects which, on the surface of it, make us different from our contemporaries. Students pounce on these in order to categorise others. “When you’re a social animal, you need to understand who is a member of your pack, and who is a member of a different pack,” says psychology professor, John Dovidio.

A girl dressed all in black may seem a bit depressed. But perhaps, deep down inside, she just likes black and is actually cheerful. She has the same interests as you — (the “cool kid”) — but she just dresses differently. The problem of typecasting is that it involves using labels which are merely shells (外表) containing assumptions. It makes one wonder why people see only a narrow view of a complicated human being.

According to Dovidio, even if we think we don’t stereotype others, we do. “We categorise immediately and without thinking,” says Dovidio. “And we stereotype others not just on their appearance, how they dress or act, but — wrongly — on their race and sex too.”

Student stereotypes may have special meanings, as teens are in the process of forming their own identity and figuring out who they feel most comfortable with. To some extent, stereotyping offers a sense of order, direction and connection to the close friends they make over time. But it’s too simple to make assumptions that “they” — teenagers in other groups — are alike or different from “us”. It’s easy to throw a group of people into a bucket (水桶) and judge them as a whole; it’s much more difficult to look at each person as an individual. On the other hand, Jim, another high school student, says “by labelling people we’re actually highlighting similarities not differences. If we didn’t stereotype, it would make many things today impossible. Think of marketing studies focused on specific audiences, or clubs for people with similar interests or hobbies.”

28．Which can best replace the underlined part “pounce on” in paragraph two?

A．Put up with. B．Make fun of.

C．Take pride in. D．Catch hold of.

29．What does the author want to suggest by mentioning the girl in black?

A．Don’t distinguish yourself from others.

B．Don’t make simple things complicated.

C．Don’t identify others by their appearance.

D．Don’t label others according to their personal traits.

30．What do Dovidio’s words in paragraph four tell us?

A．We cannot avoid being stereotyped.

B．We may correctly recognize others’ sex.

C．We cannot help the way we react to others.

D．We may make wrong judgments about ourselves.

31．Which word best describes Jim’s attitude to stereotypes?

A．Positive. B．Uninterested. C．Uncertain. D．Critical.

D

Every year thousands of people come to the city of Pamplona, in north-eastern Spain, for the opportunity to run for their lives as six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town. There are injuries and deaths every year, but the event is of interest to many people. A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds.

That is a useful topic to explore. Arehitects, civil engineers and urban planners must try to work out how people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack so they can design their creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions (碰撞). Unfortunately, solid information is hard to come by. Daniel Parisi, the paper’s lead author, realised that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment.

Dr Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2019, and filmed the runners as the animals were released, Later in the lab, they calculated the speed of the runners, the density (密度) of the crowd, the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the relationship between runner-group density and speed.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls drew near. Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd, which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower the risk of a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or death.

Yet it seems that, in the heat of the moment, people pay little attention to the danger of colliding with each other, and do not slow down. The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how best to plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict flow. The only option may well be to make them wider.

32. What did Dr Parisi and his team do in Pamplona?

A. They proved his theory.                  B. They recorded a bull-run.

C. They watched a thrilling bull-fight.         D. They designed a psychological experiment.

33. What was the unexpected finding in the study?

A. People slowed down in crowded areas.         

B. Tripping posed a danger to bull-runners.

C. Bulls coming near made people running faster.

D. People tended to speed up in high-density crowds.

34. What is implied in the last paragraph?

A. People lose their mind in disasters.

B. Future tunnels and bridges may be wider.

C. Panicked crowds are aware of the danger of collision.

D. Restricting flow helps to prevent people colliding each other.

35. Which is the best title for the text?

A. How crowds react to panic

B. Bull-runs caught on in Spain

C. Dr Parisi’s finding shocks the world

D. What architects can learn from bull-running

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

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。

People refer to never forgetting how to ride a bike or throw a baseball as examples of “muscle memory”, the result of a motor learning（运动学习）. ____36____ It is a phenomenon that previously trained muscles acquire strength after a period of disuse.

Previous research has shown that the changes actually persist in the muscles themselves. In one study of mice, the results suggest that after nuclei in muscle cells multiply in response to an overload of training, those extra nuclei aren’t lost during subsequent periods of inactivity. Once you have got additional nuclei, you are banking the capacity. ____37____

In fact, a recent study revealed that less than eight weeks of retraining were needed to reach the post-training level. But how quickly you regain your former fitness depends on how fit you were initially, how long the layoff was, how old you are and how long you’d been exercising.

____38____ It means you still have a distinct advantage when it comes to regaining your former level of fitness. And the principle applies to both resistance training and endurance training. The best way to regain your muscle memory is to start at a level below what you were accustomed to doing, and then gradually increase in terms of duration, frequency, then intensity. ____39____

Ultimately, muscle memory is a payoff for all the past work you put into learning a sport. ____40____ You will never know how much muscle memory you may have until you start training again.

A．The best way to tap into it is to “get back on the horse”.

B．Physiologists, on the other hand, define it in a different way.

C．This convinces the researchers that muscle memory may not be long lasting.

D．That is to say, we can do the sports automatically without conscious thought.

E．It is generally safe to increase these elements by 5 percent every week or two.

F．It is evident that the more you exercise, the more muscle memory savings you will have.

G．All this news about muscle memory is encouraging for those who fell off the fitness scheme.

(总而言之，是的。蛋白质奶昔很方便而且它们很有效。然而，它们并不是你吃可以吃的高蛋白饮食的唯一选择)”总结了蛋白质奶昔的优缺点。故选A项。

【27题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“To sum up, yes, protein shakes are convenient and they work. However, they are not your only choice for eating a high-protein diet. (总而言之，是的。蛋白质奶昔很方便而且它们很有效。然而，它们并不是你可以吃的高蛋白饮食的唯一选择)”以及文章整体内容来看，作者对蛋白奶昔的优缺点以及是否有必要为了保持健康或者减重而饮用它皆有提及。由此推之，作者对蛋白质奶昔的态度是客观的。故选B项。

C篇

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了刻板印象以及针对刻板印象的不同观点。

28.短语猜测题。根据第二段第一、二句“Looks, clothes, personal traits (特征) and interests are all aspects which, on the surface of it, make us different from our contemporaries. Students pounce on these in order to categorise others.(外表、衣服、个人特征和兴趣都是表面上使我们与同时代人不同的方面。学生们pounce on这些来对其他人进行分类。)”可知划线词pounce on后的these指代上文使我们与同时代人在表面上不同的特征“Looks, clothes, personal traits (特征) and interests”，学生们抓住这些表面上的特征对其他人进行分类，由此可知，句中“pounce on”意思为“抓住”，可以替换为catch hold of。故选D。

29.推理判断题。根据第三段中“A girl dressed all in black may seem a bit depressed. But perhaps, deep down inside, she just likes black and is actually cheerful. She has the same interests as you — (the ‘cool kid’) — but she just dresses differently. (一个穿一身黑的女孩可能看起来有点沮丧。但也许，在内心深处，她只是喜欢黑色，实际上是开朗的。她和你——（那个‘酷孩子’）——有相同的兴趣爱好，只是穿着不同而已。)”可知，作者在文中提到穿一身黑的女孩，想要传达的含义是不能光凭外表来确定一个人的特征个性。故选C。

30.推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘We categorise immediately and without thinking,’ says Dovidio. ‘And we stereotype others not just on their appearance, how they dress or act, but — wrongly — on their race and sex too.’(‘我们会不假思索地立即进行分类。’Dovidio说：‘我们不仅在外表、穿着和行为上对他人抱有刻板印象，而且——错误地——在种族和性别上也抱有刻板印象。’)”可知人们会不假思索地立即对他人按照刻板印象进行分类，由此可知，人们对他人进行刻板印象归类是一种下意识的举动，人们无法控制自己对他人的反应。故选C。

31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“On the other hand, Jim, another high school student, says ‘by labelling people we’re actually highlighting similarities not differences. If we didn’t stereotype, it would make many things today impossible. Think of marketing studies focused on specific audiences, or clubs for people with similar interests or hobbies.’(另一方面，另一名高中生Jim说：‘通过给人贴标签，我们实际上是在强调相似之处，而不是不同之处。如果我们没有刻板印象，这将使今天的许多事情变得不可能。想想针对特定受众的营销研究，或者针对具有相似兴趣或爱好的人的俱乐部。’)”可知，Jim认为通过给人群贴标签可以找到群体的相似性，如果没有刻板印象的话，针对特定受众的市场调查、俱乐部等就无法实现。由此可知，Jim对刻板印象的态度是积极的。故选A。

D篇

【导语】这是一篇说明文。在Pamplona，每年有很多人来看“奔牛”，科学家通过研究“奔牛”过程中人们奔跑速度的快慢，发现跑步者的速度随着人群密度的增加而增加，这给了建筑设计师关于城市建设的很多启示。

【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Dr Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2019, and filmed the runners as the animals were released. (2019年7月，Parisi博士和他的团队前往Pamplona的两个不同的屋顶，拍摄了这些动物被释放出来时人们奔跑的景象)”可知，Parisi和他的团队拍摄了牛被放出来时的场景。故选B项。

【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd, which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower the risk of a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or death. (有些出人意料的是，研究发现，跑步者的速度随着人群密度的增加而增加。这与建筑和城市设计界长期以来的假设相反，即随着人群密度的增加，人们会放慢速度，以降低发生碰撞的风险，因为碰撞可能导致摔倒，甚至受伤或死亡)”可知，研究意外发现，人群密度越大，人们跑得越快。故选D项。

【34题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how best to plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict flow. The only option may well be to make them wider. (因此，城市设计师的责任在于研究如何最好地规划未来隧道、桥梁和其他通道的建设去限制流量。唯一的选择很可能是把它们加宽)”可知，未来的桥梁和隧道可能会更宽阔。故选B项。

【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段 “A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds. (一篇刚刚发表在《科学》上的论文描述了对这次活动恐慌人群的心理洞察)”以及最后一段“The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how best to plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict flow. (因此，城市设计师的责任在于研究如何最好地规划未来隧道、桥梁和其他通道的建设去限制流量)”可知，本篇章不仅是谈论奔牛，而是讨论“奔牛作为观察人们在危险中如何表现的自然实验场景”给建筑设计师的启示。故选D项。

【答案】

It was Joyces turn to display his project. Making his way to the platform with heavy steps, Joyce placed all the materials for his project well and began to conduct his math magic quiz on the circuit board. He prayed in his heart that his lights would glow again but in vain. Hearing other students whispering to each other, Joyce’s face flushed with shame. He ducked his head and stepped back to his seat. And then Karan’s team showed their project. With joint efforts, they made it.

Finally, the teacher announced Karan’s team was the winner. All the children burst into thunderous applause on hearing that. Karan and his partners walked up to the front with great excitement. They were awarded and also received the surprise gift from Mangat Madam. After class, Joyce approached Karan, expressed admiration for his team’s project and congratulated on their success sincerely. That day, Joyce learnt the biggest lesson of his life: it is always better to work as a team rather than working alone.
