At The Rachael Ray FoundationTM（RRF）, we’re pretty big animal lovers. As a part of our work, we support a
wide variety of organizations that do good for animals, from rescue to care and more. Get to know a few of them and
the work we do together.
Pittsburgh Aviation Animal Rescue Team
RRF helped enable Pittsburgh Aviation Animal Rescue Team（PAART）to purchase a new and bigger plane for
its rescue missions which bring animals from danger to safety. Whether it be flying dogs in overcrowded shelters to
new homes, saving animals caught in the path of natural disasters, or bringing supplies to shelters in need, the brave
PAART pilots are always ready to help.
National Disaster Search Dog Foundation
National Disaster Search Dog Foundation（SDF）works to find and train shelter dogs who have the talent and
drive to become search and rescue animals. RRF supports SDF’s efforts to identify and transform rescued dogs into
rescuers, to provide lifetime care for these dogs and to find homes for all dogs who enter the SDF training program.

partners in their lifesaving efforts. The money has been awarded to organizations across the country to fund initiatives
such as adoption drives and shelter intake prevention efforts.
North Shore Animal League America Disaster Relief Grants
This program, administered by North Shore Animal League America（NSALA）, provides money for animal

It was just after 17:00 on a mid-September evening at a historical Church in Harlem, New York City. Mostly the
low-income black neighborhood sat at dining tables. In front of them was a menu listing three courses, which they only
saw on TV. Each dish was prepared with “leftover” ingredients（食材）, offered free of charge and placed alongside
a blue card that read you are loved” in hand-written script.
This-is-one of 14 community centers created around the world in cities like Milan, Paris, Mrida, Lima, Sydney
and now New York through three-Michelin starred chef Massimo Bottura’s Food for Soul project. He started the project
in 2016 with his wife, Lara Gilmore, to help fight the global problem of food waste-by using ingredients that might
otherwise be thrown away by suppliers- and to give socially and economically vulnerable people access to high quality
meals.
Partnering with architects, artists and community leaders, the project is transforming spaces, which are not fully
taken advantage of, such as churches and even a historical home into intentionally designed cultural centers equipped
with kitchens, dining rooms and other facilities that help create a sense of well-being, connection and inclusion.
When I asked Bottura why he created such thoughtful. meals within beautifully appointed spaces for the low-
income, he told me that everyone deserves respect and beauty-and of course, healthy food. “They come in and are
completely lost because they’re not used to coming into beautiful places, like this. But once they’re here, they realize
that this place is their place. It’s not my place,” he said.
Bottura’s philosophy is one that comes from the heart. T-shirts worm by volunteers at his community centers say
“cooking is an act of love”, and he approaches the food served there with as much care as he does at his restaurants —
“probably even more”, he said since the diners are extremely stressed and need healthy food to feel better. Bottura insists
that it’s important to change the language around the food served in his community centers.
24. Why does the author describe such a scene in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce Bottura’s project. B. To show the appeal of the dishes.
C. To emphasize the warm atmosphere. D. To explain how the event is organized.
25. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Privileged. B. Independent. C. Conservative. D. Disadvantaged.
26. Which of the following best describes Massimo Bottura?
A. Skilled and strict. B. Caring and considerate.
C. Wealthy and humorous. D. Economical and influential.
27. What fundamental philosophy. does Massimo Bottura express?
A. Respect and beauty are for all. B. Beautiful places inspire respect.
C. Cooking should be a profession. D. Community centers bring people together.
C
In the late 1990s, two psychology researchers, were talking about how the female scientists in their lab responded
differently to stress than the men did. The men would disappear into their offices; the women would bring cookies to
lab meetings and bond over coffee. Forget fight-or-flight, they joked. The women were tending and befriending.
The joke stuck in the mind of one of the women, researcher Laura Cousino Klein. Psychology research has
suggested that stress leads to aggression, but that wasn’t her experience. Women were more likely to want to talk with
someone about their stress, spend time with their loved ones, or channel their stress into caring for others. She wondered
if it was possible that science had gotten stress wrong.
Klein dug deeper into the science, and she made the surprising discovery that 90 percent of the published research
on stress was conducted on males. So Klein studied the social side of stress, especially in women. Looking at both
animal and human research, she found evidence that stress can increase caring, cooperation, and compassion（同情）.
While the tend-and-befriend theory began as an investigation into the female response to stress, it quickly expanded
to include men. In times of stress, both men and women have been shown to become more trusting, generous, and
willing to protect others.
The tend-and-befriend theory doesn’t say that stress always leads to caring—stress can indeed make us angry and
defensive. It simply says that stress can make people more caring. And when we care for others, it activates systems of
our brain that produce feelings of hope and courage.
I wrote my book The Upside of Stress with that purpose in mind: to help you discover your own strength and
compassion. Seeing the upside of stress is not about deciding whether stress is either good or bad. It’s about how
choosing to see the good in stress can help you meet the challenges in your life. Tending and befriending is one of the
best ways to do this, and to transform your own stress into a catalyst（催化剂）for courage and connection.
28. What does the joke in paragraph I show?
A. Male scientists are smarter than female scientists.
B. Female scientists are friendlier than male scientists.
C. Men tend to seek a temporary escape from pressure.
D. Women care for each other when they are under stress.
29. Why did Laura keep the joke in her mind?
A. It didn’t fit with her life experience. B. It had the same topic as her new book.
C. It went against previous psychology research. D. It indicated the inequalities between women and men.
30. What do we know about the tend-and-befriend theory?
A. It is applicable to both men and women. B. It suggests stress always leads to caring.
C. It proves the fight-or-flight response wrong. D. It shows men are more defensive than women.
31. What does the author’s book aim to do?
A. Provide evidence for her research.
B. Explain the fight-or-flight response.
C. Make suggestions on how to respond to stress positively.
D. Demonstrate women’s and men’s different responses to stress.
D
It was long theorized that people make decisions based on integrated global calculations that occur within the
frontal cortex（额叶皮层） of the brain, which is considered the seat of higher-order thinking. However, Yale
researchers have found that three distinct brain circuits from the frontal cortex connecting to different brain regions are
involved in making good decisions, bad ones, and determining which of those past choices to store in memory.
The study of decision-making in rats may help scientists find the roots of flawed decision-making common to
mental health disorders such as addiction, the authors say. They used-a new tool to manipulate（操纵）brain circuits
in rats while they were making choices between actions that led to them receiving rewards or no rewards. If the rats
made the right decision, one that ended in a reward, one of the brain circuits was activated, but another was activated if
the rats made the wrong choice and received no reward. The third circuit stored past experiences and decisions to help
the rats with future choices.
Stephanie Groman, lead author of the research says, “A comparison would be deciding on a restaurant for dinner.
For instance, without the ‘good choice’ circuit you may not return to the restaurant with good food and without the ‘bad
choice’ circuit you might not avoid the restaurant with bad food. The third ‘memory’ circuit is crucial in making
decisions such as whether to return to the restaurant after receiving one bad meal after several good ones.”
Changes in these circuits may help explain a typical feature of addiction—why people continue to make harmful
choices even after repeated negative experiences. The Yale researchers previously showed that some of the same brain
calculations were disrupted（扰乱）in animals that had taken methamphetamine. “Because we used a test that is
similar to those used in studies of human decision making, our findings have direct relevance to humans and could aid
in the search for novel treatments for substance abuse in humans,” Groman said.
32. How was Yale’s research different from the previous theory?
A. It defined the function of different brain regions.
B. It identified specific circuits involved in decision-making.
C. It focused on the connection between choices and memories.
D. It highlighted the role of the frontal cortex in higher-order thinking.
33. What can be inferred from Stephanie Groman’s words?
A. Memories are related to all the three circuits.
B. People base their decisions on personal preferences.
C. The three circuits are all of vital importance in making decisions.
D. The circuit related to rewards is the foundation of deciding wisely.
34. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A. The limitations of the present study. B. A description of the research method.
C. A possible reason for the study findings. D. The potential application of the conclusion.
35. What might be the best title for the text?
A. How people get addicted and cured B. How making decisions influences our brain
C. How our brain develops when facing choices D. How the brain helps us make good decisions and bad ones

Get Better at Saying No
When rejecting a request, “no” is a short, simple word that can cause anxiety for the person trying to say it. The
following strategies can help you get better at saying no.
Be intentional about what you communicate.
36 Sure, but as psychologist Vanessa Bohns points out, only saying a “no” is often pretty uncomfortable for
the asker. Instead, she advises communicating three things: “It’s not because of me, it’s not because of you, and it’s not
because of us.” One way to do that is by thanking people for thinking of you. 37 Then, follow up with a short
explanation: “I wish I could, but I just don’t have the time right now.” That helps make it clear that your “no” isn’t a
poor reflection of your own character; it’s not the other person; and it’s not a disapproval of the relationship, Bohns
says.
Have a planned phrase for more informal encounters.
Not every situation, of course, calls for such a thoughtful approach. Think through times when you’ve gotten
stressed over delivering a quick “no”, and then brainstorm phrases you could use in the future. Bohns, for example, is
often asked to donate to some cause or another as she checks out at the grocery store. 38 “It’s true, and it’s a way
of saying, essentially, that I’m still a good person,” she says.
39
There’s always that one guy who won’t take “no” for an answer. If someone is applying too much pressure, adopt
what psychologist Ellen Hendriksen describes as the broken-record technique. 40 Occasionally, the asker will get
annoyed, but usually after repeating yourself two or three times, even the most persistent（执着的）people will get the
message.
A. She says no directly.
B. That is, stick to your answer.
C. Adopt the broken-record technique.
D. It’s not worth repeating your request again and again.
E. She now has a go-to response: “I already donated this year.”
F. You might hear that “no” is a convenient word for declining requests.
G. This makes them relieved that they didn’t do anything wrong by asking.

第二节（满分 25分）
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。
“I challenge you to a hundred-meter race,” my opponent, Julius, declared. He had beaten me countless times during
practice, but I wanted to prove him wrong for a change. “That’ll wipe the smile off his face!” I thought, even as fear
started to pool in my stomach. He was well-known around the school for being the fastest runner on the track-and-field
team, while I tailed behind in second place- a respectable position, but not yet good enough to surpass（超过）him.
Nevertheless, I shook his hand and said, “Challenge accepted!” However, negative thoughts flooded my mind. Would
I be able to win? After all, Julius’ speed of light would guarantee a sure win!
Soon, all my friends and the teachers had gathered around to watch the challenge. “Oh no, I will lose and be
embarrassed in front of the whole school!” I spoke in a low voice. Nevertheless, I turned my worried expression into a
determined smile. To keep myself from sinking into self-doubt, I did some stretches and jumping jacks to warm up my
body.
Finally, the crucial moment arrived. The referee（裁判） fired the starting gun and we took off like a shot.
Adrenaline（肾上腺素）rocketed through my body as I launched myself forward. True to my expectations, Julius
caught up with me easily and was in the lead! “No way will I lose! Victory, here I come!” I motivated myself as anger
coursed through my body. As the race progressed, my eyes locked onto Julius, his athletic form effortlessly moving
ahead. His quick steps and strong focus showcased his impressive skills. Yet, I refused to let doubt consume me. A
fierce fire burnt within, fueled by a mix of unwillingness to admit defeat and anger. How dare he assume he was
unbeatable? With every step, my determination solidified（变坚定）, and my resolve to surpass him strengthened.
