閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）第一節(jié) 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

• 1．There's no shortage of health food trends on TikTok，but which ones are actually sensible？And should you skip any of them altogether？We asked registered dietitian Vanessa Rissetto，and here's what you need to know.
     Emily Mariko's Salmon Bow
     Made with rice，baked salmon，soy sauce and spicy mayo——and to be clear，there are a lot of different variations of it online—this passes Rissetto's test because it's healthy，fast，easy and has good flavor.
     Rissetto says that while she would recommend this recipe，she would also suggest changing the white rice for brown rice for increased nutrients and more fiber.
     Healthy Cookie Dough
     Cookie dough that's healthy？This is too good to be true，right？The answer is probably yes.Rissetto says that while this may be healthy，it probably doesn't taste good.
     "I'm certain this tastes like cardboard，"she said，"If you don't care about taste—then this is for you."
     Lettuce Water For Sleep
     While harmless，the TikTok trend of pouring boiling water over romaine lettuce leaves to make"lettuce water"for better sleep probably won't cure your sleep disorder—and it probably doesn't taste great，either.
     "This is not a thing.There's no evidence to prove it，"Rissetto said."Instead，steep a banana peel in boiling water to help aid with sleep."
     Nature's Cereal
     As Rissetto points out，it's basically a fruit smoothie bowl.
     "I am all for having berries and coconut water she said，"Nutrition-wise，this has lots of vitamins，antioxidants and fiber.It's basically a fruit salad that would be super refreshing on a hot day or post-workout."

  A．It doesn't taste great.

• 2．Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today.He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.
     Kong，of Danville，Virginia，started working when he was only nine.English wasn't a strong suit for Andy's parents，and that's where he was able to assist his family the most.After school and on weekends he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons.Not only did he do the labor work，but he was also involved in creating online ads.This was his introduction to the world of online business.
     Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade，when he learned about Amazon.Dropshipping （代發(fā)貨模式） from a kid he saw on Instagram，he got inspired and decided to give it a try.Unfortunately，the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the growth.Instead of considering it a failure，he viewed this experience as a life lesson and learned from his mistakes.Meanwhile，his parents never stopped trying to talk him into focusing on school and their retail business.
     "The biggest challenge when starting a business is getting someone to believe in you，" Andy says.He pushed through and did things for himself even when his loved ones discouraged it.
     In 2019，Andy met his now business partners，and together，they created an Amazon management company called Project WiFi.This Project has proven to be extremely successful.They currently help over 55 clients run their online businesses，and plan to help many more in the future.
     When asked about the secret to his success，Andy says， "Learning to sacrifice whether that's family，friends，or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed，rather than attempting multiple things.If it's worth doing then it's worth doing well with no shortcuts."
  
  （1）Why did Andy work in his parents' shops at a young age？

  
  A．Because he could earn some pocket money.
  B．Because his parents weren't fluent in English.

• 3．A walk around the workplace is also a trip back in time.The office is where colleagues meet，work and bond.But it is also a time capsule，a place where the traces of historic patterns of working are visible everywhere.The pandemic has heightened this sense of office as a dig site for corporate archaeologists.
     The most obvious object is the landline phone（固定電話），a reminder of the days when mobility meant being able to stand up and keep talking.Long after people have junked them in their personal lives - less than 15% of Americans aged between 25 and 34 had one at home in the second half of 2021- landline phones survive in offices.
     There might be good reasons for its persistence：they offer a more secure and stable connection than mobile phones，and no one worries that they are about to run out of battery.In practice，the habit of using them was definitely lost during the pandemic.Now they sit on desk after desk，rows of buttons unpressed，ring tones unheard.
     Landline phones were already well on their way out before covid-19 struck.Whiteboard charts have suffered a swifter reverse.These objects signal a particular type of pain- people physically crowded together into a room while a manager sketches a graph with a marker pen and points meaningfully to the top-right-hand corner，giving requirements never to be satisfied.This manager is still making graphs but is now much more likely to use a PowerPoint.The crowd is still being tortured but is now much more likely to be watching on the screen.The office still has whiteboards，but they are left in corners and the charts on them are slowly yellowing.
     Real archaeologists need tools and time to do their painstaking work：brushes，shovels and picks.Corporate archaeology is easier：you just need eyes and a memory of how things used to be.But you also need to be quick as more and more work places are revamped for the post-pandemic era.Now its time to take a careful look around the office：you may see something that will soon seem outdated.
  
  （1）Why does the author refer to the office as a time capsule？

  
  A．You can travel back in time in the office.
  B．You can dig out what has been buried for years in the office.
  C．You can easily find some old-fashioned practices in the office.
  D．You can work with archaeologists to study the history in the office.
  （2）What can be inferred from Paragraph 3 and 4？

  
  A．Whiteboard charts went useless due to new technologies.
  B．More employees prefer online meetings to physical gatherings.
  C．Landline phones still exist in offices because they don't need batteries.
  D．Many employees show a negative attitude to some routine work in companies.
  （3）What does the underlined word "revamped" in Paragraph 5 mean？

  
  A．Transformed.
  B．Abandoned.
  C．Discovered.
  D．Reserved.
  （4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．The Impact of Pandemic on Workplace
  B．The Archaeology of the Office
  C．Why Landline Phones Went Outdated？
  D．The History of Old-fashioned Objects

• 4．Writing a book is a long and challenging process，but new technology is increasingly making it easier for authors to finish their books.
     Michael Green，a US data scientist-turned-novelist，felt that technology could help him simplify the writing process when he was in the middle of writing his debut（首部） book.
     He said that the process had become difficult to manage："In the midst of editing，I got to the point where I started feeling like I had a lot of plots and characters，"he told the BBC."I had all these documents on the deeper aspects of the world I was creating.I was worried about being able to keep track of it all.That's when I switched into my more data science-minded approach to solving a complex problem with a lot of different pieces."
     Green went on to create Lynit，a digital platform to help authors plan and weave together the many elements that form a story，such as themes，characters，and major events.
     "As the author gets a new idea that they want to bring into the story，they are able to input it into a natural framework，"he told the BBC."Piece by piece，they're adding to the story.As new ideas come in，they change，maybe by creating new nodes（節(jié)點(diǎn)），new relationships."
     Once the book has been published，technology is also playing an ever-increasing role in publicity and connecting with readers.Websites and apps from specialist firms allow authors to participate in live question-and-answer sessions with their audience.
     Another tech firm，Crazy Maple Studios in California，US，offers authors four apps that can add music，animation，sound effects and in some cases，gameplay.
     Michael Green believes technology will become even more important as a new generation of tech-savvy（精通技術(shù)的） writers becomes more well-known.
     "What I'm finding with the Generation Z and even younger writers is that they're looking for technology to give them guidance，"he told the BBC."They see it as a tool to learn and grow with，rather than extra work."
  
  （1）What difficulty did Green face in writing his debut book？

  
  A．He would leave out important plots.
  B．He had trouble organizing his thoughts.
  C．He often felt he was not creative enough.
  D．He felt the characters would not attract readers.
  （2）What is an advantage of technology according to the text？

  
  A．It brings authors closer to their readers.
  B．It can generate images based on words.
  C．It can translate thoughts into sentences.
  D．It creates new relationships for authors.
  （3）Which of the following would Green most probably agree with？

  
  A．New technology matters to rising authors.
  B．Technology adds to the burden of authors.
  C．New technology gets in the way of creativity.
  D．Young writers rely too heavily on technology.
  （4）Where is the passage most likely from？

  
  A．A travel journal.
  B．A fairy tale.
  C．A book review.
  D．A science magazine.

• 5．When your child begins to beg for a pet，you may draw back at the thought of the additional responsibilities.Parents usually think of all the work and responsibility having a pet could bring about. （1）

  ● Teach responsibility.
     A family pet can help show children the importance of proper care in keeping their new friend happy and healthy.（2）

  Give your child a sense of responsibility by having them help meet these needs，whether they feel like it that day or not.
     ● Encourage exercise.
     If you've ever been forced to keep up with a young dog or cat，you know how tiring it can be!（3）

  By encouraging your child to play with his or her pet，both of them will get the exercise they need to sleep soundly and live healthy and happy lives.
     （4）

  Teaching your child how to "play nice" with and show affection to another living being is an essential first step toward developing lifelong empathy （共情） for others.Learning how to be a good friend with a pet will teach one how to be more open and friendly to other people as well.
     ● Be practical.
     While the benefits of pet ownership are clear，pets are definitely not for everybody.Raising pets requires a large amount of work and responsibility.You'd better make sure the whole family is aware of the requirement that come along with the pet. （5）

  It's best to introduce the potential pet to your child before bringing him or her home to ensure that there is a healthy connection.
  
  A．Treat others well.
  B．Form a close bond with a friend.
  C．Pets are great for helping ""break the ice".
  D．But you can use the pet's energy to your advantage.
  E．Also，some pets can be very aggressive with children.
  F．All pets need to be fed，given fresh water，and exercised regularly.
  G．However，allowing kids to keep a pet can teach you both some important lessons.
