Chen Xingrong, 16, was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) when he was a baby. After being diagnosed with autism, his father, Chen Xunhu, quit his job and devoted his full attention to the topic of autism. In 2012, Chen Xunhu learned that swimming could help autistic people improve their important ability and articulation (发音), so he spent months learning how to swim by watching videos and reading books. He spent several months teaching his son and discovered that his son had gradually developed the ability to control his breath under water, which significantly increased his confidence.
The father laid the groundwork for his son’s swimming lessons. Two hand rings and a swing are installed (安装) from the ceiling by the father to help Chen Xingrong strengthen his muscles and learn swimming movements more precisely. On one wall of their home hangs a table for Chen Xingrong’s routine exercises. “I used to plan all his exercises for him, but now it is all up to him. He decides how many exercises he wants to do, and it’s a process of self-management,” said Chen Xunhu.
In spite of all the hardships in life, Chen Xingrong managed to become an outstanding swimmer. In 2021, he won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the eighth National Special Olympic Games.
As well as swimming, learning basic life skills is also an important part of life for a teenager with autism. Thanks to his father’s perseverance (毅力), Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food and has held voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants. Meanwhile, Chen Xunhu wants the public to know more about autistic people so as to reduce misunderstanding. He organized about 500 people to watch the autism-themed film, titled Ocean Heaven, which describes how a terminally (末期的) ill father attempts to teach his son the necessary life skills to live without him.
Chen Xunhu has made great efforts to make the public understand autism better and hopes all autistic people will live a wonderful life in the future.
4. Why did the father try to teach his son to swim?
A. To help treat his son’s illness. B. To build his son’s confidence.
C. To bring out his son’s potential. D. To encourage his son to start a hobby.
5. What do we know about Chen Xingrong?
A. He preferred to swim at home.
B. He kept to a tight training routine.
C. He has got great rewards for his efforts.
D. He had difficulty in strengthening his muscles.
6. How did the father help people understand autism (自闭症) better?
A. By organizing people to watch an autism-themed film.
B. By leading them to do voluntary work for autistic teenagers.
C. By showing the daily lives of children with autism in pictures.
D. By sharing his experience in teaching autistic children life skills.

Coffee grown worldwide can date back to the ancient forests of Ethiopia. There, legend says the goat herder Kaldi first discovered coffee bean after he noticed that after eating the fruits from a certain tree, his goats became so energetic that they did not want to sleep at night. Coffee trade began on the Arabian Peninsula. By the 16th century it was known in Persia, Egypt, Syria, and Turkey.
Coffee was hardly known in Europe before the 17th century. The Venetians were the first people to bring coffee into Europe. The first European coffee houses started opening in Italy around 1645. In the following 100 years, at least 3000 coffee houses were operating in England. It was the coffee houses of England that started the custom of tipping waiters and waitresses. In a short time, coffee and coffee houses spread throughout Europe. In 1822, a Frenchman Louis Bernard Rabaut invented a machine which forced the hot water through the coffee grounds using steam instead of merely letting it drip through. The first espresso machine(咖啡机) had been born.
In the coffee industry, there are two important coffee species—Arabica and Robusta. Arabica originates from the coffee trees discovered in Ethiopia. It represents about 70% of the world’s coffee production. Arabica coffees bring the highest prices on the world market. Meanwhile, these coffee trees require additional care and attention. Robusta is primarily used for instant coffees. The Robusta bean itself tends to be slightly rounder and smaller than an Arabica bean. It can produce a coffee which has a distinctive taste and about 50-60% more caffeine. The Robusta tree is more resistant to disease, which makes it easier and cheaper to grow.
To preserve coffee beans’ fresh roasted flavor as long as possible, you can store them in an air-tight container(容器) at room temperature. Coffee beans can be beautiful, but avoid clear containers which will allow light to influence thee taste of your coffee. Exposure to air is bad for your beans. If you do freeze your beans, be sure to use a truly air-tight container.
8. Where was the coffee bean first discovered?
A. In Egypt. B. In Turkey. C. In Ethiopia. D. In Saudi Arabia.
9. What do we know from paragraph 2?
A. It was the British people who brought coffee to Europe.
B. The custom of tipping came from Italian coffee houses.
C. Drinking coffee became popular before the 17th century.
D. Louis Bernard Rabaut invented the first espresso machine.
10. How is Arabica different from Robusta?
A. Arabica has a higher cost.
B. Arabica contains more caffeine.
C. Arabica beans appear smaller and rounder in size.
D. Arabica accounts for most of the world’s instant coffees.
11. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Ways to store coffee beans. B. The process of making coffee.
C. The methods of choosing coffee beans. D. The difficulty of adjusting the taste of coffee.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了咖啡的相关历史以及两种重要的咖啡品种。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Coffee grown worldwide can date back to the ancient forests of Ethiopia. There, legend says the goat herder Kaldi first discovered coffee bean after he noticed that after eating the fruits from a certain tree, his goats became so energetic that they did not want to sleep at night.(世界各地种植的咖啡可以追溯到埃塞俄比亚的古老森林。传说，在那里，牧羊人Kaldi首个发现咖啡豆，是因为他注意到，在吃了某棵树上的果实后，他的山羊变得精力充沛，晚上不想睡觉。)”可知，咖啡豆是在埃塞俄比亚被首次发现的。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In 1822, a Frenchman Louis Bernard Rabaut invented a machine which forced the hot water through the coffee grounds using steam instead of merely letting it drip through. The first espresso machine(咖啡机) had been born.(1822年，法国人Louis Bernard Rabaut发明了一种机器，它利用蒸汽使热水通过咖啡渣，而不是仅仅让它滴落下来。第一台浓缩咖啡机诞生了。)”可知，Louis Bernard Rabaut发明了咖啡机。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Arabica coffees bring the highest prices on the world market.( Arabica咖啡在世界市场上价格最高。)”可知，Arabica的价格比Robusta价格高。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“To preserve coffee beans’ fresh roasted flavor as long as possible, you can store them in an air-tight container(容器) at room temperature. Coffee beans can be beautiful, but avoid clear containers which will allow light to influence thee taste of your coffee. Exposure to air is bad for your beans. If you do freeze your beans, be sure to use a truly air-tight container. (为了尽可能长时间地保存咖啡豆的新鲜烘焙风味，你可以将它们储存在室温下的密封容器中。咖啡豆可以是美丽的，但要避免透明的容器，因为它会让光线影响咖啡的味道。暴露在空气中对你的豆子有害。如果你要冷冻豆子，一定要使用真正不透气的容器。)”可推断，者在最后一段的目的是想告诉我们如何保存咖啡豆。故选A。
D
New research suggests that even a simple exercise program might help older people with light memory problems. Doctors have long advised patients to do physical activity to help keep their brains healthy. But the U.S. government-supported research marks the longest study of whether exercise makes any difference once memory starts to decline.
Researchers found around 300 inactive older adults with memory changes called mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (轻度认知障碍). In the research, the participants were divided into two groups and half of them did aerobic exercises, while the rest did stretching and balance movements that raised their heart rates a little. After a year, testing of mental activity showed neither group had worsened, said lead researcher Laura Baker of Wake Forest School of Medicine. By comparison, similar MCI patients in another long-term study of brain health—but without exercise—experienced cognitive decline over a year.
Maria Carrillo is the Alzheimer’s Association chief scientific officer. She said earlier research has found regular physical activity of any kind may reduce damaging inflammation and increase blood flow to the brain. She added that the new study is especially interesting because the COVID-19 pandemic began halfway through the study. That meant the study participants became socially isolated. Social isolation has long been known to increase people’s risk of memory problems.
It is a difficult time for dementia(痴呆症) research. Doctors are not sure about prescribing(开处方) a high-priced new drug called Aduhelm. The drug is supposed to be the first to slow the progression of dementia but it is not yet clear if it really helps patients. Researchers last month reported another drug that works similarly failed in an important study. There is growing urgency to find whether exercise might offer at least some protection. Baker will lead an even larger study of older adults to see if adding exercise to other steps such as a healthy diet, brain games and social activities may reduce the risk of dementia.
12. What does the new study focus on?
A Ways to slow the aging process. B. Effective medicines for elders with MCI.
C. The influence of exercise on elders’ memory. D. The causes of declining memory in older adults.
13. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design?
A. Diet plan. B. Exercise type.
C. Professional background. D. Previous physical condition.
14. What does Maria Carrillo think of the new study?
A. It is meaningful. B. It is impractical.
C. It is controversial. D. It is time-consuming.
15. What will Baker do next according to the text?
A. Find out how to lower the price of Aduhelm.
B. Develop a new drug to help patients with brain diseases.
C. Organize a wide variety of social activities for older people.
D. Conduct further research on how to reduce the risk of dementia.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现结果，新的研究表明，即使是一个简单的锻炼计划也可以帮助有轻度记忆问题的老年人。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But the U.S. government-supported research marks the longest study of whether exercise makes any difference once memory starts to decline.(但这项由美国政府支持的研究是对记忆力衰退后运动是否会产生影响进行的最长时间的研究。)”可知，这项研究主要专注于运动是否会对记忆力衰退有影响。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the research, the participants were divided into two groups and half of them did aerobic exercises, while the rest did stretching and balance movements that raised their heart rates a little.(在研究中，参与者被分为两组，其中一半人做有氧运动，而其余的人做伸展运动和平衡运动，这些运动可以稍微提高他们的心率。)”可知，这两组人所进行的运动形式不相同。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Maria Carrillo is the Alzheimer’s Association chief scientific officer. She said earlier research has found regular physical activity of any kind may reduce damaging inflammation and increase blood flow to the brain. She added that the new study is especially interesting because the COVID-19 pandemic began halfway through the study.( Maria Carrillo是阿尔茨海默症协会的首席科学官。她说，早期的研究已经发现，任何形式的定期体育活动都可以减少破坏性炎症，增加大脑的血流量。她补充说，这项新研究特别有趣，因为COVID-19大流行是在研究中途开始的。)”可知，Maria Carrillo觉得这项研究发现很有意义。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Baker will lead an even larger study of older adults to see if adding exercise to other steps such as a healthy diet, brain games and social activities may reduce the risk of dementia. (Baker将领导一项更大规模的老年人研究，看看在健康饮食、脑力游戏和社交活动等其他步骤中增加锻炼是否可以降低患痴呆症的风险。)”可推断，Baker将进一步研究如何降低患痴呆症的风险。故选D。
