Acupuncture (针灸) is a traditional Chinese medical practice of treating     1    (variety) physical and mental conditions. It gained respect and interest in the United States after New York Times journalist James Reston     2    (visit) China with President Nixon and needed an operation. Chinese doctors used acupuncture on Reston after operation.

    3    (surprise), his recovery was quick. Curious about this, Reston was allowed to watch surgery on patients     4     received acupuncture for anesthesia (麻醉). Patients talked with their doctors during the operation and then walked back to their rooms     5     their own.

The effectiveness of acupuncture left Reston such a deep     6    (impress) that he wrote a front-page article in the New York Times about his operation upon returning to the United States. “A leading medical specialist     7    (send) by Premier Chou En-lai removed my appendix(阑尾). I was conscious in     8     whole process.”

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) began to sponsor some of their top     9    (physician)to visit China to investigate acupuncture and its possible functions in western medicine. With years going by, acupuncture has earned     10    (it) a great reputation across the world with magical effect.

5 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The snowstorm was supposed to hit the evening of Monday, Jan. 31, 2022. My colleague and I were co-signing an emergency financial aid check for a student at First Nations University in Regina, then he left for the day. As I was packing up, I noticed he had left his laptop bag there.

“Shoot,” he said when I called him. “I’m already home.”

“I can bring it to you.” I assured him. It was just past 4:30 p. m. The snow wasn’t supposed to start until later. It took me about 15 minutes to get to my colleague’s house, where I dropped off the laptop case and got right back on the road. Then suddenly the snow started -and it was coming down fast. Within minutes I was in a whiteout.

The road soon switched from paved to gravel (碎石), forcing me to slow down. The windows were fogging up and getting covered with snow. It was extremely cold outside. I didn’t have a clue where I was or even which side of the road I was on. I kept the car running to stay warm and called 911, but they said nobody was coming to get me until morning at the earliest.

It was now about 6 p. m. and dark. I stopped the car and texted my colleague whose laptop bag I had just returned. But he had an idea. “Pin your location on Google Maps and send it to me,” he said. I did, and a few minutes later he texted me back a screenshot of the satellite view of where I was. We figured out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane, in between two farms. It was now 6:30 p. m. We posted this new information to our Facebook community group, pleading (恳求) for anyone who knew who lived on the farms to help me get rescued.

Soon enough, though, people started chiming (发表评论) in on my post. They knew the farmer who lived there! I got a message from someone who was going to put me in touch with them.

8 . The ability to track animals and plants is up in the air —literally —thanks to help from an unexpected source.

Around the globe, many air quality control stations filter (过滤) air through small paper disks on a daily or weekly basis, allowing scientists to ensure concentrations of harmful pollutants such as heavy metals are below certain levels. But the filters also pick up plant and animal DNA having been scattered (播撒) into the wind.

The eDNA, short for environmental DNA, on those filters could make air quality control stations a treasure house of samples cataloging local animals and plants. Such records could help researchers track biodiversity at a larger scale and more easily catch species declines or track how ecosystems are changing overall.

“We’re effectively carrying on with it for a totally new use,” says Elizabeth Clare, a molecular ecologist at York University.

“It never occurred to us that these filters capturing particulate (微粒的) matter could even be analyzed for eDNA,” says James Allerton, an air quality scientist in England. That changed when Allerton read a news story about two studies where scientists cleared animal DNA out of thin air at two zoos, one in England —led by Clare —and another in Denmark.

Learning about the potential for capturing eDNA sparked a “light bulb moment,” Allerton says, and he reached out to Clare to cooperate.

Clare, Allerton and colleagues analyzed filters from the Teddington facility that were exposed to surrounding air for one hour, one day or one week. The team also examined eight-month-old filters from an air quality control station in Scotland that had each been exposed to air for a week.

Genetic material in the filters revealed the presence of more than 180 different types of local animal groups including pine trees, badgers, owls, fungi and news. That volume is surprising given that the filters and storage conditions weren't set up with eDNA in mind. That the researchers recovered so much eDNA from a system designed to monitor air quality shows how common airborne (空气中的) DNA is and how much biodiversity data could be up for grabs.

1. What is the new use of air quality control stations?

A．To purify air by decreasing pollutants in it.

B．To study the links between man and animals.

C．To concentrate on effects of animals on climate.

D．To help track the categories of animals and plants.

2. How does James Allerton react to the technology of capturing eDNA?

A．He felt doubtful and hesitant to use it.

B．He felt useful but reluctant to admit it.

C．He felt unimaginable but ready to accept it.

D．He felt amazed but refused to have an attempt.

3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Airborne DNA is quite uncommon in the system.

B．Over 180 types of living plants have been detected.

C．It is not easy for researchers to collect biodiversity data.

D．Researchers didn't take eDNA into account in the first place.

4. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Air Pollutants are Found in Animals and Plants

B．Tracking Evolution of Living Things Benefits eDNA

C．Air Pollution Monitoring May Help Track Biodiversity

D．eDNA Technology Proves a Big Success in Air Detection

10 . Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones.     1     Some are shy in real life but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.

Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can cause problems, such as bullying (恃强凌弱) or arguments.     2     But there are also a few people who use the Internet for illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.

    3     Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and the chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕的).

    4     So it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gadgets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards.     5     Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩略语) such as: atb (all the best), bbfn (bye bye for now), Idk (I don’t know), xlnt (excellent).

A．Going online is great fun.

B．Computer studies are part of schoolwork now.

C．The language of chat is strange to many parents, too.

D．There are some websites that are not suitable for the children.

E．To keep children safe, your management must cover the family computer.

F．They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world.

G．Surfing the Internet takes up too much of the time that should be spent on lessons.
