1． Temples have long served an important role since the early years of civilization.Whether you are seeking a sense of spiritual enlightenment or looking to learn more about a certain religion，these beautiful temples are worth a stop on your vacation.
Paro Taktsang in the Paro Valley，Bhutan
Situated on a steep cliff in Bhutan's Paro Valley，the "Tiger's Nest" earned its nickname from an 18th-century tale detailing Buddhist master Padmasambhava arriving to the site on a flying tiger.The journey to the cliffside is quite the challenge，requiring guests to climb two hours on a steep trail.
Seiganto-ji in Nachikatsuura，Japan
Neighboring the tallest waterfall and set against the lush trees of Nachi，Seiganto-ji dates back to the 4th century.Seiganto-ji is now the first stop on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage，where individuals travel to 33 Buddhist temples throughout the Kansai region of Japan.
Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong
This Buddhist and Taoist temple was built to honor the god of literature and the god of war，and the inscriptions found in the temple hall imply its construction may have taken place around 1847.It is still highly active and visited by local worshippers，so it's asked that any visitor coming to the temple is prohibited from taking photos out of respect.
Kek Lok Si Temple，Malaysia
Penang is often touted（吹捧） for its sandy beaches and emerald blue waters，but it's also home to the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia.A melting pot of cultures，the temple's architecture showcases Chinese，Thai，and Burmese styles throughout its stunning seven stories.It's estimated there are 10，000 statues of Buddha depicted throughout its main pagodas（寶塔）.

2． A growing body of research suggests that the gut microbiome （消化道菌群） could play a major role in a rising chronic disease that makes us physically weaker.The illness，which is commonly called chronic fatigue syndrome （CFS），is characterized by intense fatigue，gastrointestinal （胃腸道的） issues，muscle pain，and cognitive challenges such as headaches and difficulty concentrating，among other symptoms.It often follows a viral infection which can lead to a "disruption" in a balanced gut ecosystem.Actually，an increasing number of Americans have been the sufferers since the outbreak of COVID-19.
Two recent studies published in Cell Host &Microbe point to changes in the microbiome as a possible cause of CFS.Research groups at Columbia University and the Jackson Laboratory performed detailed analyses of the microbes in stool （糞便） samples from patients with CFS and compared them to healthy controls.
The two groups found similar bacteria species were less present in CFS patients compared to control patients.They focused on bacteria that produce butyrate，a fatty acid involved in regulating metabolism and the immune system. "Butyrate plays several roles in directing the body's response to infections，while also protecting the barrier between the intestine （腸） and the circulatory system，regulating genetic changes in cells，and more，" says Brent Williams，lead author on the Columbia study.Williams and his colleagues extensively analyzed the role of butyrate in CFS patients' guts，even identifying a correlation between low levels of bacteria that produce this acid and more severe symptoms.
Parallel findings from the Jackson Laboratory team suggest the bacteria that produce butyrate could be used to diagnose CFS.Previous research has identified microbiome issues in CFS patients，but the new findings help clarify which microbes could be related to the illness.
More research on butyrate-producing bacteria and other species identified in the studies is necessary to investigate these potential biomarkers of CFS，the authors say.If the findings are replicated，specific gut bacteria could be used to diagnose the illness，which is currently identified based on symptoms alone.
The findings additionally point toward possible treatments，such as probiotics or microbiome-focused diet adjustments—though patients who have been sick for long periods may require drugs that alleviate the damage done to their metabolism or immune system.
（1）What do we know about CFS？
A．It is caused by COVID-19 only.
B．It is an illness with systemic symptoms.
C．It breaks the balance of the gut ecosystem.
D．The number of the infected is on the decrease.
（2）How did the researcher carry out the recent studies？
A．By controlling data.
B．By identifying genes.
C．By analyzing samples.
D．By comparing symptoms.
（3）Which of the following is NOT the significance of the recent researches？
A．Butyrate's multiple functions are promoted.
B．Targeted gut microbes may be used to diagnose CFS.
C．Certain microbes responsible for CFS are narrowed down.
D．Probiotics supplement with drugs can be a treatment for CFS.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．Gut microbiome may be the key to CFS.
B．Microbes help digest food and aid absorption.
C．Man's gut is a rich，diverse tropical rainforest.
D．New method for diagnosing CFS are provided.組卷：11引用：3難度：0.3 -
3． I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a standup comedian in 2003.I'd never set foot in a comedy club before.I've always been a performer - I've worked as a singer，actor and musician - but all that came to an end after 9/11.I live in New York，and we watched the twin towers fall from my apartment building.For a year afterwards，nobody wanted to go out or be entertained.
It was then that I started to think about comedy.I realised people needed to laugh，to enjoy themselves again，and thought that with a little training I could do it.I took a few classes，tried to work out a routine，and finally plucked up the courage to get up on stage.That first time was terrifying.I had no idea what the audience would make of me.
In New York，comedians are typically young men with beards.It's hard enough to break through as a woman，even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother.As I stepped on stage that first time，people laughed nervously.They were clearly surprised to see me.I introduced myself，stated my age and tried my first joke.There was silence.But by the time I got to the third line，people were properly laughing，I was addicted.
Now my sets differ.I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people，or my one-woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100.Even today，I'm nervous before I step out.My first line is， "Hello，everybody.I'm 88 and three-quarters years old.I'm telling you that in case I don't make it all the way through the show." Then people laugh and I relax.
After a show，people young and old come up to me，saying what an inspiration I am.They say they want to be as active as me when they reach my age.I'm pleased I can show that as an older person you don't need to take a back seat in life.
I've no intention of stopping comedy.I'm taking all these pills，trying to stay alive，and I hope to still be performing when I'm 100.My goal is to still be up there making people laugh.It's hard work，but it stops me being bored.I'd only be playing golf otherwise

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Most of us never forget the person that was there for us in our darkest times.Apparently，penguins （企鵝） don't either.
On a typical day，off the coast of a small Brazilian island，Joao Pereira de Souza headed out fishing.He was disheartened to find that an oil leak had polluted the waters.Staring out at the oily waves，he decided it was not a good day to fish.But walking on the beach that day，he found a struggling penguin，covered in oil and starving.
Joao took the penguin home，and spent a whole week gently cleaning it and nursing it back to jye.aialth.He named it Dindim，a Portuguese word meaning "ice pop".Dindim is a Magellanic penguin，a species known for living in the seas of South America.In order to breed （繁殖），they must return to Patagonia，5，000 miles from Joao's home.
After a week of rehabilitation （康復(fù)），Joao patiently took Dindim back to the sea and taught it how to swim again.When Dindim could swim quite well，Joao took it out into the sea by boat and dropped it off to encourage it to swim back to its home.But when he was back to shore，he found the penguin waiting for him.Joao made two more attempts later，but each time the bird would just return to Joao's home.It seemed that Dindim had already formed a family bond with Joao and wouldn't leave.
Joao had no choice but to keep the little creature.During the following months，Dindim would follow behind Joao to fish on the coast joyfully.Dindim also liked to lie on Joao's lap，letting Joao give it showers，allowing Joao to feed it fish and to pick it up.Joao and his family enjoyed the company of Dindim.But deep inside Joao's heart，he knew Dindim belonged to the wild.Gradually，the hot summer days witnessed the change of its new feathers.Was it time to say "goodbye"？
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)成為150左右；
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Suddenly one morning，Joao found Dindim disappeared.
A few months later，Joao heard some familiar cries in his backyard.
