Here’s a comprehensive guide. When is the ceremony? The opening ceremony kicks off at 8.24 pm on July 26 2024, which happens to be 20.24 if you’re using the 24-hour clock. Where is the ceremony held? It will take place outdoors, along the banks of the River Seine and even through its waters.It’s the first time in the history of the Summer Games that an opening ceremony hasn’t been hosted in a stadium, which hugely increases the audience capacity (容量). What activities are planned during the event? Around 10,500 athletes from different national delegations (代表团) will gather on boats.By tradition, the Greeks will lead the way. Besides the national anthems (国歌), official speeches and symbolic releasing of doves, it's often the artistic performances that stand out the most at Olympic opening ceremonies. Who is directing the ceremony? Famous stage director Thomas Jolly has been appointed as the artistic director. The ceremony promises to be an impressive performance, combining theatre, dance, circus and opera. The director has also absorbed stories of people living and working near the river, giving the show a touch of local charm. Are tickets for the ceremony open to the public? They are indeed, as 100,000 tickets were put on sale in May 2023, with prices ranging from €90 to a shocking €2,700. Between 300,000 and 500,000 free tickets will be made available. If you don’t catch the ceremony in person, you can always watch the whole thing on TV. 1. What is a special feature of this opening ceremony? A. To be held along the Seine. B. To include artistic performances. C. To sing national anthems. D. To have the Greeks lead the way. 2. What are the athletes expected to do at the opening ceremony? A. Set free peace doves. B. Deliver official speeches. C. Get together on boats. D. Show local charms of Paris. 3. What is the maximum number of tickets open to the public? A. 100 thousand. B. 400 thousand. C. 600 thousand. D. 800 thousand. 【答案】1 A 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会开幕式的相关信息，包括开幕式的时间、地点、活动内容、导演、票务等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Where is the ceremony held?标题下“It will take place outdoors, along the banks of the River Seine and even through its waters.It's the first time in the history of the Summer Games that an opening ceremony hasn't been hosted in a stadium, which hugely increases the audience capacity (容量)”（它将在户外举行，沿着塞纳河的河岸甚至穿过它的水域。这是夏季奥运会历史上首次在体育场外举行开幕式，这大大增加了观众的容量）可知，这次开幕式的特殊之处在于它将在塞纳河沿岸举行。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章What activities are planned during the event?标题下“Around 10,500 athletes from different national delegations (代表团) will gather on boats.”（大约10500名来自不同国家代表团的运动员将在船上集结。）可知，运动员们在开幕式上应该在船上集结。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“They are indeed, as 100,000 tickets were put on sale in May 2023, with prices ranging from€90 to a shocking €2,700. Between 300,000 and 500,000 free tickets will be made available.”（确实如此，因为在2023年5月，有100,000张票开始出售，价格从90欧元到惊人的2700欧元不等。将提供300,000到500,000张免费票。）可知，向公众开放的票数最多为600,000张。故选C。 B Sia Godika was 13 when she noticed the barefoot children of construction workers at a building site near her house in Bangalore, India. “Their feet were bare, dirty, cracked and bleeding,” reflects Sia, “They were just walking around that building site like it was an everyday practice for them.” And it was in that moment that Sia realized how lucky she herself was. She went back home and opened her closet doors, seeing shoes piled up high. She headed to her mother’s closet next, literally dusting off spiderwebs from some shoes. Then she rushed to give them all away to the barefoot children. Later that year, with the help of her parents, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity organization devoted to providing footwear for those in need, as is clearly shown by its motto: “Donate a sole (鞋底), save a soul.” Telephone calls from people who wanted to help came flooding in. For months, Sia stayed up till 2 a. m, contacting people and dealing with related affairs. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used footwear, repairs it and donates the finished products to people in need. In its first campaign, Sole Warriors gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number stands at around 28, 000, thanks to the hard work of a team of about 80 volunteers. But the oragnisation’s growth wasn’t without its challenges. When Sia was trying to find a company which was willing to repair and clean up the worn-out shoes free of charge, she faced one difficulty after another before finding a partner in India’s Pressto Cobbler. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of bias (偏见) because at my age, people were less willing to hear me out,” says Sia. In recognition of her impact, in 2021 Sia was given the Diana Award, one of the greatest honours a young person can receive for social work. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says. 4. What does the underlined part indicate? A. Sia’s parents cared for others very much. B. Actually spiderwebs covered some shoes. C. Her mother’s closet was covered with dust. D. The shoes hadn’t been worn for a long time. 5. Why did Sia set up Sole Warriors? A. To provide free shoes for those in need. B. To improve her problem-solving ability. C. To encourage people to buy only what they need. D. To win the Diana Award for social contributions. 6. What challenge did Sia face in running the organization? A. Few people would donate shoes. B. The running costs were too high. C. Communicating ability prevented her. D. She had difficulty finding a cooperator. 7. Which can serve as the best title for the text? A. Clothes do not make the man. B. Walk in someone else’s shoes. C. Learn to walk before you run. D. Life without difficulties is too dull. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Sia Godika在13岁时注意到建筑工地上的赤脚儿童，她意识到自己的幸运，并决定将自己和母亲的鞋子捐给这些儿童。后来，她在父母的帮助下创立了Sole Warriors，这是一个致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子的慈善组织。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“She went back home and opened her closet doors, seeing shoes piled up high.”（她回到家，打开衣柜门，看到鞋子堆得很高。）以及“literally dusting off spiderwebs from some shoes”（从一些鞋子上真正地擦掉蜘蛛网）可推知，这些鞋子已经很长时间没有被穿过了。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity organization devoted to providing footwear for those in need”（Sia创立了Sole Warriors，这是一个致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子的慈善组织）可推知，Sia设立Sole Warriors的目的是为有需要的人提供免费的鞋子。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When Sia was trying to find a company which was willing to repair and clean up the worn-out shoes free of charge, she faced one difficulty after another before finding a partner in India’s Pressto Cobbler.”（当Sia试图寻找一家愿意免费修理和清理旧鞋的公司时，她遇到了一个又一个困难，直到找到了印度的Pressto Cobbler合作伙伴。）可推知，Sia在运营组织时面临的挑战是找到合作伙伴。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第三段“Later that year, with the help of her parents, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity organization devoted to providing footwear for those in need, as is clearly shown by its motto: “Donate a sole (鞋底), save a soul.””（那年晚些时候，在父母和社区志愿者的帮助下，西娅成立了Sole Warriors，这是一家致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子的慈善机构，其座右铭是：“捐赠一个鞋底，拯救一个灵魂。”）可知，文章主要讲的是主人公西娅在她家附近的一个建筑工地注意到建筑工人的孩子光着脚并且流血，于是在父母和社区志愿者的帮助下，成立了Sole Warriors，这是一家致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子的慈善机构的故事。由此可知，文章最好的标题是“设身处地为别人着想”。故选B。 C Tim Cook of Apple and Bob Iger of Disney lead the trend among CEOs to wake early, often before 6 am, a habit shared by two-thirds of American CEOs. This contrasts sharply with the general population, where less than a third rise early. The underlying message is that early rising relates to success. Bartleby, a columnist, has tried early starts and acknowledges benefits like clearing inboxes and solving problems before the day's mess. A 2012 study supports the benefits of early rising. It finds early risers to be happier and healthier, while night owls often suffer from insufficient sleep, affecting their mood, health, and productivity. The research also indicates that late risers earn 4% less than early risers. What's more, early risers enjoy higher social status, with latecomers often viewed as lazy or undisciplined. However, rising early has its drawbacks. Early risers might end up working as late as others due to urgent tasks that arise during the day. Moreover, they may become socially dull, missing out on evening socializing. Night owls, by contrast, tend to engage more in social activities. Changing one's natural sleep pattern is difficult due to genetic (基因的) factors. Bartleby's own attempts to wake early led to too much caffeine consumption. Finally, the best advice might be to accept one's natural rhythm and stop worrying about your body clock. Most people are neither early birds nor night owls, but in between. Many, including Bartleby, get sleepy in the afternoon, too. That is why most offices operate between 9 and 5 and why they ought to have nap rooms. 8. What does the author want to prove by mentioning Tim Cook and Bob Iger? A. Waking up early has something to do with success. B. Rising early enjoys great popularity among CEOs. C. Starting early tells CEOs and general people apart. D. Getting up early benefits people's mood and health. 9. What can be concluded about early risers? A. They suffer from insufficient sleep. B. They are better paid than later risers. C. They tend to be the last to leave the office. D. They spare evening time for social events. 10. What does the author suggest on changing the sleep pattern? A. Adjust the body clock gradually. B. Drink caffeine to keep awake. C. Don't transform the natural rhythm. D. Don't get into the napping habit. 11. What does the passage mainly focus on? A. Advantages and disadvantages of early starts. B. Development and importance of early rising. C. Relationship between early starts and success. D. Differences between early birds and night owls. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文主要介绍了早起的优缺点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Tim Cook of Apple and Bob Iger of Disney lead the trend among CEOs to wake early, often before 6 am, a habit shared by two-thirds of American CEOs. This contrasts sharply with the general population, where less than a third rise early. The underlying message is that early rising relates to success.”（苹果的蒂姆·库克和迪士尼的鲍勃·艾格尔引领了CEO们早起的趋势，通常在早上6点之前，这是三分之二的美国CEO共有的习惯。这与普通人群形成了鲜明的对比，其中不到三分之一的人早起。潜在的信息是早起与成功有关。）可知，作者通过提到Tim Cook和Bob Iger想要证明早起与成功有关。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The research also indicates that late risers earn 4% less than early risers.”（研究还表明，晚起者的收入比早起者少4%。）可推知，早起者的收入比晚起者高。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Changing one's natural sleep pattern is difficult due to genetic (基因的) factors. Bartleby's own attempts to wake early led to too much caffeine consumption. Finally, the best advice might be to accept one's natural rhythm and stop worrying about your body clock.”（由于基因因素，改变一个人的自然睡眠模式是困难的。巴特尔尝试早起导致了过量的咖啡因消耗。最后，最好的建议可能是接受自己的自然节奏，不再担心你的生物钟。）可推知，作者建议不要改变自然的睡眠模式。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The underlying message is that early rising relates to success.”（隐含的信息是，早起与成功有关。）根据第二段“Bartleby, a columnist, has tried early starts and acknowledges benefits like clearing inboxes and solving problems before the day's mess..”（专栏作家巴特利比尝试过早起，并承认早起的好处，比如清理收件箱，在一天的混乱之前解决问题。）根据第三段“However, rising early has its drawbacks.”（然而，早起也有它的缺点）可知，短文主要关于早起的优缺点。故选A项。 D The UK is now the most overweight nation in Europe and the evidence is all around us. As a doctor, I see it daily in practice, dealing with its complications (并发症) ranging from diabetes and high blood pressure to heart disease and cancer. So what are we doing about it? Not enough is the honest answer. First, weight management services, such as mental health guidance, surgery and slimming drugs remain very limited. Also, measures taken in consulting rooms are too often centered around scaring people into action: if you don’t lose weight you will have a heart attack or develop diabetes. Scaring the individual is neither helpful nor effective. Becoming more active is beneficial for many reasons, but exercise alone is not a great way to lose weight, not least because you have to run for at least an hour to burn off a beef pie. Drugs and surgery also have their place but are not required for most overweight people. So I prefer to combine proper exercise with a diet for the best result. But which diet? Often I recommend the low-carb approach, which involves cutting back on sugary drinks and foods, and starches (淀粉) such as rice and bread. I don’t believe there is anything magical about the approach but it has a number of benefits: it seems easier to follow than many other approaches, and it helps lower blood sugar levels for the ten million or so people in the UK who already have type 2 diabetes or are at high risk of developing it. Solving the obesity (肥胖) problem involves not only supporting and encouraging the individual, but also changing public health and government policy. Efforts are being made and change is already under way. 12. How does the author illustrate his opinion in paragraph 2? A. By explanation. B. By example. C. By comparison. D. By assumption. 13. What are the benefits of the low-carb approach? A. It helps to reduce body weight quickly. B. It saves patients from drugs and surgery. C. It’s effective and promotes food industry. D. It’s easy to stick to and lowers blood sugar. 14. The main purpose of the passage is A. to provide practical suggestions B. to criticize traditional approaches C. to present the findings of a research D. to analyse the causes of a problem 15. What is the author’s attitude to the future of solving the obesity problem? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Uncertain. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁属于说明文。文章主要围绕英国肥胖问题的现状、原因、以及可能的解决方案进行了说明。作者作为医生，从医学实践的角度分析了肥胖问题的严重性，并指出了当前应对措施的不足。随后，作者提出了自己对于解决肥胖问题的看法和建议，包括如何合理饮食和进行适当的运动，以及政府和社会在解决肥胖问题上应该承担的责任。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Not enough is the honest answer. First, weight management services, such as mental health guidance, surgery and slimming drugs remain very limited. Also, measures taken in consulting rooms are too often centered around scaring people into action: if you don’t lose weight you will have a heart attack or develop diabetes. (诚实的回答是不够。首先，体重管理服务，如心理健康指导、手术和减肥药仍然非常有限。此外，咨询室采取的措施往往以吓唬人们采取行动为中心：如果你不减肥，你就会心脏病发作或患上糖尿病。)”可知，作者首先提出了“Not enough is the honest answer.”这一观点，即对于超重问题的应对不够充分。接着，作者来解释这一观点的理由，作者是通过解释的方式来阐述自己的观点的。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Often I recommend the low-carb approach, which involves cutting back on sugary drinks and foods, and starches (淀粉) such as rice and bread. I don’t believe there is anything magical about the approach but it has a number of benefits: it seems easier to follow than many other approaches, and it helps lower blood sugar levels for the ten million or so people in the UK who already have type 2 diabetes or are at high risk of developing it. (我经常推荐低碳水化合物的方法，包括减少含糖饮料和食物的摄入，以及米饭和面包等淀粉类食物。我不相信这种方法有什么神奇之处，但它有很多好处：它似乎比许多其他方法更容易遵循，而且它有助于降低英国大约1000万已经患有2型糖尿病或有患2型糖尿病高风险的人的血糖水平。)”可知，低碳饮食法的好处包括比其他方法更容易遵循，并且有助于降低血糖水平。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“The UK is now the most overweight nation in Europe and the evidence is all around us. As a doctor, I see it daily in practice, dealing with its complications (并发症) ranging from diabetes and high blood pressure to heart disease and cancer. So what are we doing about it? (英国现在是欧洲超重最严重的国家，证据无处不在。作为一名医生，我每天都在实践中看到它，处理它的并发症，从糖尿病、高血压到心脏病和癌症。那么我们该怎么做呢？)”可知，文章整体上讨论了英国面临的肥胖问题，并提出了一些实际的建议，如改进体重管理服务、采取低碳饮食法等，因此主要目的是提供实用的建议。故选A。 15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Solving the obesity (肥胖) problem involves not only supporting and encouraging the individual, but also changing public health and government policy. Efforts are being made and change is already under way. (解决肥胖问题不仅需要支持和鼓励个人，还需要改变公共卫生和政府政策。正在作出努力，变革已经开始。)”可知，作者对于解决肥胖问题的未来持积极态度，认为已经在进行中并看到了努力和变化。故选B。 第二节 (共 5小题; 每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are many tough talks we need to have in our daily lives.

One day we decided to visit Cape Cod, a beautiful bay, which was about three hours drive from Boston where we lived. Our daughter drove us there in the morning. As she was in a hurry to catch a plane, we decided to return by train in the evening. So our daughter wrote down the address just in case we should get lost before she left. We spent a wonderful day in Cape Cod, enjoying the golden beaches, fresh seafood, and elegant shops. The weather was perfect, and we even took a short boat tour to explore the coastline. When the sun began setting, we were tired but content. We took the train and arrived at Boston at six. I thought the Boston rail station was close to our home and my husband has a keen sense of direction. There should be no problem! So I blindly followed him, without knowing where we were heading. However, we found ourselves to be just going round in a ma ze (迷宫), with our home nowhere in sight! Being a Sunday, the roads were deserted with not many people walking around. We passed several closed shops and empty sidewalks, which only added to our growing sense of unease. We did find a few but initially were a bit hesitant to ask strangers for directions. It was getting darker. After circling the same block multiple times, we started getting worried. Turning a corner, we suddenly caught sight of a convenience store with dim light coming out the door. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Overcoming the unease of talking to strangers, we stepped out towards the store. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Overcoming the unease of talking to strangers, we stepped out towards the store. When we went into the convenience store, we didn't see anyone. Suddenly there was a voice behind the gloom. “How can I help you?”. In broken English, we asked her the address we were looking for. Then she stepped out of the dim light. To our surprise, she was an Asian with yellow skin and black eyes. She said hello to us in fluent Chinese and said that she is Chinese. That really made us feel good. After some conversation, we learned that she is from Fujian Province and had been living in the United States for 20 years. She was glad to see her fellow Chinese in a foreign land. Finally, with her help, we found the address. What an amazing trip and what a friendly Chinese woman. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作为中国人的作者和丈夫在波士顿迷路了，这时突然看见一家便利店，里面的灯光昏暗。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由第段首句内容“克服了与陌生人交谈的不安，我们向商店走去”可知，第一段可描写便利店的店主是中国人热情地帮助了作者和丈夫，以及作者的感悟 2.续写线索：询问地址——发现店主是中国人——热情帮助——找到地址——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 帮助：help /assist 寻找：look for/seek 进入：go into /enter 看到：see/catch sight of 情绪类 高兴的：glad/pleased 令人惊讶的：amazing/astonishing 【点睛】[高分句型1] When we went into the convenience store, we didn't see anyone.

B Sia Godika was 13 when she noticed the barefoot children of construction workers at a building site near her house in Bangalore, India. “Their feet were bare, dirty, cracked and bleeding,” reflects Sia, “They were just walking around that building site like it was an everyday practice for them.” And it was in that moment that Sia realized how lucky she herself was. She went back home and opened her closet doors, seeing shoes piled up high. She headed to her mother’s closet next, literally dusting off spiderwebs from some shoes. Then she rushed to give them all away to the barefoot children. Later that year, with the help of her parents, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity organization devoted to providing footwear for those in need, as is clearly shown by its motto: “Donate a sole (鞋底), save a soul.” Telephone calls from people who wanted to help came flooding in. For months, Sia stayed up till 2 a. m, contacting people and dealing with related affairs. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used footwear, repairs it and donates the finished products to people in need. In its first campaign, Sole Warriors gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number stands at around 28, 000, thanks to the hard work of a team of about 80 volunteers. But the oragnisation’s growth wasn’t without its challenges. When Sia was trying to find a company which was willing to repair and clean up the worn-out shoes free of charge she faced one difficulty after another before finding a partner in India’s Pressto Cobbler. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of bias (偏见) because at my age, people were less willing to hear me out,” says Sia. In recognition of her impact, in 2021 Sia was given the Diana Award, one of the greatest honours a young person can receive for social work. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says. 4. What does the underlined part indicate? A. Sia’s parents cared for others very much. B. Actually spiderwebs covered some shoes. C. Her mother’s closet was covered with dust. D. The shoes hadn’t been worn for a long time. 5. Why did Sia set up Sole Warriors? A. To provide free shoes for those in need. B. To improve her problem-solving ability. C. To encourage people to buy only what they need. D. To win the Diana Award for social contributions. 6. What challenge did Sia face in running the organization? A. Few people would donate shoes. B. The running costs were too high. C. Communicating ability prevented her. D. She had difficulty finding a cooperator. 7. Which can serve as the best title for the text? A. Clothes do not make the man. B. Walk in someone else’s shoes. C. Learn to walk before you run. D. Life without difficulties is too dull. C Tim Cook of Apple and Bob Iger of Disney lead the trend among CEOs to wake early often before 6 am, a habit shared by two-thirds of American CEOs. This contrasts sharply with the general population, where less than a third rise early. The underlying message is that early rising relates to success. Bartleby, a columnist, has tried early starts and acknowledges benefits like clearing inboxes and solving problems before the day's mess. A 2012 study supports the benefits of early rising. It finds early risers to be happier and healthier, while night owls often suffer from insufficient sleep, affecting their mood, health, and productivity. The research also indicates that late risers earn 4% less than early risers. What's more, early risers enjoy higher social status, with latecomers often viewed as lazy or undisciplined. However, rising early has its drawbacks. Early risers might end up working as late as others due to urgent tasks that arise during the day. Moreover, they may become socially dull, missing out on evening socializing. Night owls, by contrast, tend to engage more in social activities. Changing one's natural sleep pattern is difficult due to genetic (基因的) factors. Bartleby's own attempts to wake early led to too much caffeine consumption. Finally, the best advice might be to accept one's natural rhythm and stop worrying about your body clock. Most people are neither early birds nor night owls, but in between. Many, including Bartleby, get sleepy in the afternoon, too. That is why most offices operate between 9 and 5 and why they ought to have nap rooms. 8. What does the author want to prove by mentioning Tim Cook and Bob Iger? A. Waking up early has something to do with success. B. Rising early enjoys great popularity among CEOs. C. Starting early tells CEOs and general people apart. D. Getting up early benefits people's mood and health. 9 What can be concluded about early risers? A. They suffer from insufficient sleep. B. They are better paid than later risers. C. They tend to be the last to leave the office. D. They spare evening time for social events. 10. What does the author suggest on changing the sleep pattern? A. Adjust the body clock gradually. B. Drink caffeine to keep awake. C. Don't transform the natural rhythm. D. Don't get into the napping habit. 11. What does the passage mainly focus on? A. Advantages and disadvantages of early starts. B. Development and importance of early rising. C. Relationship between early starts and success. D. Differences between early birds and night owls. D The UK is now the most overweight nation in Europe and the evidence is all around us. As a doctor, I see it daily in practice, dealing with its complications (并发症) ranging from diabetes and high blood pressure to heart disease and cancer. So what are we doing about it? Not enough is the honest answer. First, weight management services, such as mental health guidance, surgery and slimming drugs remain very limited. Also, measures taken in consulting rooms are too often centered around scaring people into action: if you don’t lose weight you will have a heart attack or develop diabetes. Scaring the individual is neither helpful nor effective. Becoming more active is beneficial for many reasons, but exercise alone is not a great way to lose weight, not least because you have to run for at least an hour to burn off a beef pie. Drugs and surgery also have their place but are not required for most overweight people. So I prefer to combine proper exercise with a diet for the best result. But which diet? Often I recommend the low-carb approach, which involves cutting back on sugary drinks and foods, and starches (淀粉) such as rice and bread. I don’t believe there is anything magical about the approach but it has a number of benefits: it seems easier to follow than many other approaches, and it helps lower blood sugar levels for the ten million or so people in the UK who already have type 2 diabetes or are at high risk of developing it. Solving the obesity (肥胖) problem involves not only supporting and encouraging the individual, but also changing public health and government policy. Efforts are being made and change is already under way. 12. How does the author illustrate his opinion in paragraph 2? A. By explanation. B. By example. C. By comparison. D. By assumption. 13. What are the benefits of the low-carb approach? A. It helps to reduce body weight quickly. B. It saves patients from drugs and surgery. C. It’s effective and promotes food industry. D. It’s easy to stick to and lowers blood sugar. 14. The main purpose of the passage is A. to provide practical suggestions B. to criticize traditional approaches C. to present the findings of a research D. to analyse the causes of a problem 15. What is the author’s attitude to the future of solving the obesity problem? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Uncertain. 第二节 (共 5小题; 每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are many tough talks we need to have in our daily lives.

One day we decided to visit Cape Cod, a beautiful bay, which was about three hours drive from Boston where we lived. Our daughter drove us there in the morning. As she was in a hurry to catch a plane, we decided to return by train in the evening. So our daughter wrote down the address just in case we should get lost before she left. We spent a wonderful day in Cape Cod, enjoying the golden beaches, fresh seafood, and elegant shops. The weather was perfect, and we even took a short boat tour to explore the coastline. When the sun began setting, we were tired but content. We took the train and arrived at Boston at six. I thought the Boston rail station was close to our home and my husband has a keen sense of direction. There should be no problem! So I blindly followed him, without knowing where we were heading. However, we found ourselves to be just going round in a ma ze (迷宫), with our home nowhere in sight! Being a Sunday, the roads were deserted with not many people walking around. We passed several closed shops and empty sidewalks, which only added to our growing sense of unease. We did find a few but initially were a bit hesitant to ask strangers for directions. It was getting darker. After circling the same block multiple times, we started getting worried. Turning a corner, we suddenly caught sight of a convenience store with dim light coming out the door. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Overcoming the unease of talking to strangers, we stepped out towards the store. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
