However, it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’re worried about the furniture being worn, just set up a time to go see it before you make the purchase.

Professional Sleeper

V. Reading (15%)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
After researching the history of the Vietnam War, I called my mum and asked her if she knew anyone who went to Vietnam that I could interview. She thought for a while and suddenly remembered that she has a cousin who is a veteran of the Vietnam War.
She says, “I know him since I was little. He was one of the greatest athletes of the school. You cannot imagine how good and fast he was. Well, he was ranked number 18 in the country for being an outstanding track and field runner. But now, those things are only memories.”
I called him and introduced myself. He was in an agreeable mood at the beginning, but as soon as I began to question him, his attitude changed. “What happened in Vietnam?” I asked. There was a moment of silence on the other line, and then he said he was willing to tell me about Vietnam.
He said that he was drafted when he was 20 years old and that the two years later he spent there a part of his life he would rather forget. He said, “The problem is that you will never imagine how much suffering and pain I saw in that place.” There is not one book or article that can really describe the human disaster that took place there. There is nothing worse in this world than killing a man who you know has a family. It is very sad, but it is the truth, and it turns more complex when you realize you were part of that truth.
When I returned to Puerto Rico, it was a total disaster: young kids without fathers, wives without husbands. Most of those who made it back have no legs, like me, or no arms. I was praised because of my bravery, but for me, that was and is pure nonsense, because that war decided my future, decided the future of my family. I, now, am just a veteran who has nothing.
The thing that bothers me the most is that the people who decided to fight will probably never know that it is likely to kill a man, or feel pain and suffering from hunger and the absence of love. In war, every minute you are fearing because the only thing you have in your mind is that if you don’t kill first you are going to get killed.
1. Why did the author’s mother say “Those things are only memories”? A. Because she would rather keep what happened in the past as a secret. B. Because her cousin is no longer a vigorous young man.
C. Because though her cousin was a good runner, he lost his leg during the war. D. Because time passed quickly and she can’t remember much of the past days.
- 5 -
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the 4th paragraph? A. Books and articles all presented a false picture of the war. B. It takes mental strength to survive the war.
C. The sufferings during the war greatly damaged the memory of soldiers, D. The author’s uncle felt very painful when he realized the truth of the war.
3. Why did the author’s uncle find the praises “pure nonsense”? A. Because praises came too late.
B. Because no praise could make up for his loss. C. Because he didn’t kill anyone during the war. D. Because too many praises seemed worthless. 【答案】 CDB 【解析】
1. C 推理判断题．根据全文内容可知，作者的母亲在回忆了自己的兄弟在年轻的时候身体健壮并且擅长各种体育运动，然后感叹\"Those things are only memories\"--这些仅仅是回忆．根据后文我们可以知道这个越南战争的退役老兵失去了双腿，所以以前年轻时健壮的身体再也没有了．所以C选项是正确的．
2．D理解概括题．根据第四段的内容可知，退役老兵讲到自己直到亲身经历了越南战争才发现战争是如何地残酷，这是其他任何书上都没有描述过的，亲身体验带给他强烈的真实感受．所以D选项是正确的．
3．B细节理解题．根据倒数第二段because that war decided my future，decided the future of my family．I，now，am just a veteran who has nothing．可知作者对老兵的肯定与赞扬弥补不了他的伤痛和损失．所以B选项是正确的．
文章解析
本文主要讲述了作者的母亲回忆了自己的表哥在年轻的时候身体健壮并且擅长各种体育运动，但他在越南战争中失去了双腿。此外，退役老兵讲到自己直到亲身经历了越南战争才发现战争是如何地残酷。由此引发作者的感慨，发动战争的决定者应该受到谴责。

If you followed the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, you may have noticed that several athletes, including US swimmer Michael Phelps, had circular bruises on their bodies. These bruises were the results of “cupping therapy”, a traditional Chinese medical practice that has been around for more than 2,000 years.
Cupping therapy involves attaching circular cups to the skin using suction(吸力). The suction is created either by heating the cup inside or by using a handheld pump. This suction pulls the skin upward into the cup. Sometimes it can leave dark red bruises, other times there is no mark at all.
Many athletes say that they have benefited from the therapy. Phelps used the therapy in the fall of 2014 and has used it
- 7 -
about twice a week since, reported ABC News. Another US swimmer, Dana Vollmer, also believes that “it really helps with blood flow, and helps pull swelling out of different areas.”
However, some have said that the supposed health effects result from people feeling that the treatment works, rather than any physical effects of the treatment.
To figure out whether cupping therapy has any physical effects, last year researchers from Germany carried out a test in which a sham(假装的) treatment was provided.
In the study, the same type of cups was used in the real treatment and the sham treatment. But in the sham treatment, the cups had a hole at the top so that they couldn’t create the proper suction.
The tested patients, who suffered from a disorder(疾病) that causes a lot of pain, were told that they would receive either a traditional cupping or “soft cupping”. But they were not informed that the so-called “soft cupping” was a sham treatment.
It turned out that most patients correctly guessed which kind of cupping they had received. In both groups, patients also experienced about the same reductions in pain. The results suggest the effects of cupping therapy might come fro factors that are not necessarily part of the treatment itself, the researchers told the Live Science website.
The question of whether cupping therapy works still needs to be answered. But because the treatment is relatively safe and it could be helpful for some people, “the therapy can be used as a part of a comprehensive treatment program involving other exercises, nutritional choices and lifestyle interventions(干预)”, Dr Brent Bauer, director of the US’ Mayo Clinic Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program, told Live Science.
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE about cupping therapy? A. It leaves bruises every time. B. Heating is crucial to cupping therapy. C. The key to cupping therapy is suction. D. It has been widely used in Western countries.
2. The purpose of the test was to ________.
A. prove the health effects of cupping therapy B. see whether cupping therapy has a physical effect C. compare traditional cupping and the soft cupping
D. compare cupping therapy’s effects on different groups of people
3. What can be concluded about the test?
A. Different types of cups wrench used for different cupping therapies.
B. Patients knew which kind of cupping treatment they would receive before the treatment. C. The real treatment and the sham treatment were almost equally effective for patients.
D. The results show the effects of cupping therapy result from people’s belief in the treatment
4. The underlined word “comprehensive” in the last paragraph probably means ________. A. easy and convenient to carry out B. newly invented and untraditional
C. requiring a long period of time to take effect
D. including everything that is important and necessary 【答案】CBAD 【解析】
1．C 细节理解题，根据第一段you may have noticed that several athletes，including US swimmer Michael Phelps，had circular bruises on their bodies．These bruises were the result of\"cupping therapy\"（拔火罐），a traditional Chinese medicinal practice that has been around for more than 2000 years．可知提到Michael Phelps 是为了引出本文的主题，即拔罐疗法，所以C选项是正确的．
2．B 细节理解题，根据第四段To figure out cupping therapy has any physical effects，last year researchers

There was a time when we thought humans were special in so many ways. Now we know better. We are not the only species that feels emotions, or follows a moral code. Neither are we the only ones with personalities, cultures and the ability to design and use tools. Yet we have all agree that one thing, at least, makes us unique: we alone have the ability of language.
It turns out that we are not so special in this aspect either. Key to the revolutionary reassessment of our talent for communication is the way we think about language itself. Where once it was seen as an unusual object, today scientists find it is more productive to think of language as a group of abilities. Viewed this way, it becomes apparent that the component parts of language are not as unique as the whole.
Take gesture, arguably the starting point for language. Until recently, it was considered uniquely human - but not any more. Mike Tomasello of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and others have collected a list of gestures observed in monkeys and some other animals, which reveals that gestures plays a large role in their communication. Ape(猿) gestures can involve touch, vocalising or eye movement, and individuals wait until they have another ape’s attention before making visual or auditory gestures. If their gestures go unacknowledged, they will often repeat them.
In an experiment carried out in 2006 by Erica Cartmill and Richard Byrne from the University of St Andrews in the UK, they got a person to sit on a chair with some highly desirable food such as banana to one side of apes and some undesirable food such as vegetables to the other. The apes, who could see the person and the food from their enclosures, gestured at their human partners to encourage them to push the desirable food their way. If the person showed incomprehension and offered the vegetables, the animals would change their gestures - just as a human would in a similar situation. If the human seemed to understand while being somewhat confused, giving only half the preferred food, the apes would repeat and exaggerate their gestures - again in exactly the same way a human would. Such findings highlight the fact that the gestures of the animals are not merely inborn but are learned, flexible and under voluntary control - all characteristics that are considered preconditions for human-like communication.
1. Compared with all the other animals, we agree that humans alone ________. A. own the ability to show their personalities B. are capable of using language to communicate C. have moral standards and follow them in society
D. are intelligent enough to release and control emotions
2. According to the passage, humans are not so special in language ability because language ________. A. involve some abilities that can be mastered by animals B. is a talent impossibly owned by other animals C. can be divided into different components D. are productive for some talented animals
- 9 -
3. What can we learn from that experiment by Cartmill and Byrne? A. Apes can use language to communicate with the help of humans.
B. Repeating and exaggerating gestures is vital in language communication. C. Some animals can learn to express and communicate through some trials. D. The preferred food stimulates some animals to use language to communicate.
4. What is probably the best title of the language?
A. Language involves gestures! B. Animals language - gestures!
C. So you think humans are unique? D. The similarity between humans and apes.
【答案】BACC 【解析】
1. 根据第一段最后一句，Yet we have all agree that one thing, at least, makes us unique: we alone have the ability of language.可以知道我们人类自己拥有语言的能力。
2. 首先定位到第二段和第三段，说明gesture也是一种language, 而且举例说明猴子等其他动物在交流中，gesture也扮演者重要作用，所以选A。
3. 首先定位到最后一段的这个实验，讲的是猴子和人类一样，可以用肢体语言表达自己的想法，如果未被理解，会再次表达，而且通过Such findings highlight the fact that the gestures of the animals are not merely inborn but are learned, flexible and under voluntary control - all characteristics that are considered preconditions for human-like communication.可知这些能力不仅是天生的，而且可以后天习得，灵活，可控制。
4. 这篇文章首先讲大家以为只有人类才会语言，但是后来随着语言的意义的改变，其他动物也拥有语言的能力，所以人类不再是unique的。
