Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.
Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.
Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.
Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.
4. Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people?
A. The doctors eventually cured her. B. Her disease didn’t become worse.
C. She had a decent job before being ill. D. She had security about medical care.
5. How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others?
A. By paying for their daily debts. B. By giving away money to them.
C. By ridding them of debts from treatments. D. By purchasing medical insurance for them.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The public involvement. B. The couple’s commitment.
C. The operation of a website. D. The increase of medical debts.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre?
A. Humorous and elegant. B. Influential and understanding.
C. Cautious and promising. D. Enthusiastic and adaptable.
C
Scientists continue to discover ways in which a lack of sleep affects our mental and physical health — now a new study reveals that a serious lack of sleep can even influence the way we see other people.
When we’ve gone without sleep, we spend less time fixing our eyes on others’ faces, the study shows. As that’s an important part of reading social signals from those around us, our relationships are likely to suffer. “Since facial expressions are helpful in understanding the emotional state of others, spending less time focusing on faces after serious sleep loss may increase the risk that you misunderstand others’ feelings, “ says sleep researcher Lieve van Egmond from Uppsala University in Sweden.
The study authors recruited 45 participants who went through a night without sleep, and another night with 8 hours of sleep, separated by at least a week. In each case, eye-tracking sensors were used the morning after to monitor the subjects as they looked at images of faces. A mix of expressions were shown on the faces: happy, angry, fearful. Participants were also asked to assess the attractiveness, trustworthiness of the faces they saw. When it came to face focus, there was a drop in duration (持续时间) between 6. 3 — 10. 6 percent after sleep loss, and this drop happened regardless of the emotion being shown. Overall, faces were regarded as less trustworthy and less attractive after a night without sleep.
“The finding indicates that sleep loss is associated with more negative social impressions of others, “ says neuroscientist Christian Benedict from Uppsala University. “This could result in less motivation to interact socially.”
It’s perhaps no surprise that a lack of sleep makes us less likely to want to engage with others, but the study adds some interesting data to the mix. Negative social impressions of people after sleep loss may lead to social withdrawal by those with sleep issues, suggest the researchers.
8. Lack of sleep may contribute to ____________.
A. misreading others’ emotions B. becoming angry and fearful
C. focusing on others’ faces seldom D. behaving in a different way
9. What did the researchers do while carrying out the study?
A. Require participants to evaluate the expressions.
B. Divide participants into two groups.
C. Monitor participants during the whole course.
D. Ask participants to finish the experiment in a row.
10. What can we conclude from the study?
A. People lack of sleep are more likely to stay at home.
B. The more we sleep, the more likely we are to interact socially.
C. The focus duration will drop less concerning happy faces.
D. People with sleep loss will have a bad social impression of others.
11 What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Lack of sleep makes us less attractive and trustworthy.
B. Sleeping loss impacts our mental and physical health.
C. Lack of sleep influences our social relationship.
D. Sleeping loss leads to paying little attention to others.
D
Over the last half century, obesity (肥胖症) rates have skyrocketed. In 1962, 46 percent of adults in the US were considered overweight. By 2010, that figure had jumped to 75 percent.
Obesity is a complex problem with many causes. But among the likely suspects, sugar is high on the list. A variety of research has drawn a link (联系) between sugar consumption (消耗) and overweight. As sugar consumption has increased, so has our waistline.
“I don’t think we have enough evidence yet to suggest that sugar is the reason for obesity,” says Johns Hopkins, a cardiologist. “But there is enough evidence to say that too much sugar consumption is an important contributor to weight gain.”
All those sweet snacks seem to be affecting the heart as well. In a study published in JAMA: Internal Medicine in 2014, researchers compared people who consumed a lot of added sugar accounting for 17 to 21 percent of their total daily calories with people who ate less sugar — just 8 percent of their total calories. Those in the high-sugar group had a 38 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease.
Excess weight increases the risk of many diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes. Research by the team of Ndumele has shown that those factors usually explain the link between obesity and heart disease. “All of those factors make it more likely that someone will develop heart disease,” says Ndumele.
In other words, there are many reasons to aim for a healthy weight. And cutting back on sugar is a good place to start.
12. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Risen quickly. B. Dropped rapidly.
C. Led to many diseases. D. Caught much attention.
13. What’s Johns Hopkins’ attitude towards too much sugar consumption?
A. Unsure. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive.
14. What does the study in JAMA want to show?
A. Obesity can cause heart disease. B. Sugar contributes to weight gain.
C. Heart disease is linked to sugar intake. D. Overweight increases high blood pressure.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Obesity—The Heart Killer B. Less Sugar—A Good Start for Health
C. What to Do with Disease D. How to Take Care of Your Sweet Teeth
E
That artificial food dyes (染料) are unhealthy is not news. Some are known to cause hyperactivity (多动症) in some children, affecting their ability to learn. But regulatory agencies (监管机构) around the world don’t necessarily agree on which food dyes are a problem, or why. That may soon change. A 2021 peer-reviewed report by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment concluded that artificial food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children” and that the current levels that are regarded safe for consumption by the federal government are too high.
California is now considering requiring warning labels on food products and dietary supplements containing the seven most commonly used artificial dyes. The warning label requirement would put California on par with the European Union, which since 2010 has required food products containing certain artificial food dyes to carry warning labels about their negative effect on activity and attention in children.
Artificial dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Bright colors make candies appealing, especially to kids. But dyes are also in chocolate cake mixes, salad dressings and other products that don’t seem to cry out for a color boost.
In Europe, it was the 2010 label lawmaking that triggered (引发) companies’ decisions to reformulate. “If you’ re a company, you do not want to put a warning label on your product.” says Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. Warning labels are why European Starburst Fruit Chews are now colored with natural products, not the artificial dyes that brighten their North American counterparts (同类商品).
Given that artificial food dyes are used far more than needed, we need to be more cautious. After all, we don’t dye fresh fruits and vegetables, but we do dye candy and sprinkles, points out Joe Schwarcz, a chemistry professor at McGill University in Montreal. “The foods in which you find food dyes are foods that are poor in nutrition,” he says. “If you limit foods that contain food dyes, you automatically make your diet better.”
16. What can we learn about artificial food dyes from paragraph.1?
A. A 2021 report confirmed their negative effects.
B. The fact that they are harmful is newly revealed.
C. Regulatory agencies consider them a serious problem.
D. The Federal government thinks their current standard too high.
17. What does the underlined part “on par with” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. In opposition to. B. In line with. C. in contrast to D. Ahead of.
18. Which might be a possible result of the new rule according to the article?
A. Food companies will stop coloring their products.
B. More fresh fruits and vegetables will appear in the market.
C. Food companies may replace artificial dyes with natural products.
D. It will be hard to find packaged foods without warning labels of dyes.
19. What’s Joe Schwarcz’s attitude towards artificial food dyes?
A. Approving. B. Neutral. C. Tolerant. D. Concerned.

Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.
Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.
Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.
Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.
4. Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people?
A. The doctors eventually cured her. B. Her disease didn’t become worse.
C. She had a decent job before being ill. D. She had security about medical care.
5. How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others?
A. By paying for their daily debts. B. By giving away money to them.
C. By ridding them of debts from treatments. D. By purchasing medical insurance for them.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The public involvement. B. The couple’s commitment.
C. The operation of a website. D. The increase of medical debts.

Scientists continue to discover ways in which a lack of sleep affects our mental and physical health — now a new study reveals that a serious lack of sleep can even influence the way we see other people.
When we’ve gone without sleep, we spend less time fixing our eyes on others’ faces, the study shows. As that’s an important part of reading social signals from those around us, our relationships are likely to suffer. “Since facial expressions are helpful in understanding the emotional state of others, spending less time focusing on faces after serious sleep loss may increase the risk that you misunderstand others’ feelings, “ says sleep researcher Lieve van Egmond from Uppsala University in Sweden.
The study authors recruited 45 participants who went through a night without sleep, and another night with 8 hours of sleep, separated by at least a week. In each case, eye-tracking sensors were used the morning after to monitor the subjects as they looked at images of faces. A mix of expressions were shown on the faces: happy, angry, fearful. Participants were also asked to assess the attractiveness, trustworthiness of the faces they saw. When it came to face focus, there was a drop in duration (持续时间) between 6. 3 — 10. 6 percent after sleep loss, and this drop happened regardless of the emotion being shown. Overall, faces were regarded as less trustworthy and less attractive after a night without sleep.
“The finding indicates that sleep loss is associated with more negative social impressions of others, “ says neuroscientist Christian Benedict from Uppsala University. “This could result in less motivation to interact socially.”
It’s perhaps no surprise that a lack of sleep makes us less likely to want to engage with others, but the study adds some interesting data to the mix. Negative social impressions of people after sleep loss may lead to social withdrawal by those with sleep issues, suggest the researchers.
8. Lack of sleep may contribute to ____________.
A. misreading others’ emotions B. becoming angry and fearful
C. focusing on others’ faces seldom D. behaving in a different way
9. What did the researchers do while carrying out the study?
A. Require participants to evaluate the expressions.
B. Divide participants into two groups.
C. Monitor participants during the whole course.
D. Ask participants to finish the experiment in a row.
10. What can we conclude from the study?
A. People lack of sleep are more likely to stay at home.
B. The more we sleep, the more likely we are to interact socially.
C. The focus duration will drop less concerning happy faces.
D. People with sleep loss will have a bad social impression of others.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Lack of sleep makes us less attractive and trustworthy.
B. Sleeping loss impacts our mental and physical health.
C. Lack of sleep influences our social relationship.
D. Sleeping loss leads to paying little attention to others.

Over the last half century, obesity (肥胖症) rates have skyrocketed. In 1962, 46 percent of adults in the US were considered overweight. By 2010, that figure had jumped to 75 percent.
Obesity is a complex problem with many causes. But among the likely suspects, sugar is high on the list. A variety of research has drawn a link (联系) between sugar consumption (消耗) and overweight. As sugar consumption has increased, so has our waistline.
“I don’t think we have enough evidence yet to suggest that sugar is the reason for obesity,” says Johns Hopkins, a cardiologist. “But there is enough evidence to say that too much sugar consumption is an important contributor to weight gain.”
All those sweet snacks seem to be affecting the heart as well. In a study published in JAMA: Internal Medicine in 2014, researchers compared people who consumed a lot of added sugar accounting for 17 to 21 percent of their total daily calories with people who ate less sugar — just 8 percent of their total calories. Those in the high-sugar group had a 38 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease.
Excess weight increases the risk of many diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes. Research by the team of Ndumele has shown that those factors usually explain the link between obesity and heart disease. “All of those factors make it more likely that someone will develop heart disease,” says Ndumele.
In other words, there are many reasons to aim for a healthy weight. And cutting back on sugar is a good place to start.
12. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Risen quickly. B. Dropped rapidly.
C. Led to many diseases. D. Caught much attention.
13. What’s Johns Hopkins’ attitude towards too much sugar consumption?
A. Unsure. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive.
14. What does the study in JAMA want to show?
A. Obesity can cause heart disease. B. Sugar contributes to weight gain.
C. Heart disease is linked to sugar intake. D. Overweight increases high blood pressure.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Obesity—The Heart Killer B. Less Sugar—A Good Start for Health
C. What to Do with Disease D. How to Take Care of Your Sweet Teeth
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了肥胖率上升的现象,探讨了糖摄入与肥胖之间的可能联系,以及肥胖和过多糖摄入对健康的影响。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“In 1962, 46 percent of adults in the US were considered overweight. By 2010, that figure had jumped to 75 percent. (1962年,46%的美国成年人被认为超重。到2010年,这一数字跃升至75%。)”可知,在过去的半个世纪里,肥胖率从46%到75%,是直线上升的,推知skyrocketed为“急剧上升”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““I don’t think we have enough evidence yet to suggest that sugar is the reason for obesity,” says Johns Hopkins, a cardiologist. “But there is enough evidence to say that too much sugar consumption is an important contributor to weight gain.” (心脏病专家约翰·霍普金斯说:“我认为我们还没有足够的证据表明糖是肥胖的原因。”“但有足够的证据表明,摄入过多的糖是导致体重增加的重要因素。”)”可知,约翰·霍普金斯认为虽然没有足够的证据表明糖是肥胖的原因,但是有足够的证据表明,摄入过多的糖是导致体重增加的重要因素,所以他对对糖摄入过多的态度是否定的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“All those sweet snacks seem to be affecting the heart as well. In a study published in JAMA: Internal Medicine in 2014, researchers compared people who consumed a lot of added sugar accounting for 17 to 21 percent of their total daily calories with people who ate less sugar—just 8 percent of their total calories. Those in the high-sugar group had a 38 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease. (所有这些甜食似乎也会影响心脏。2014年发表在《美国医学会杂志:内科医学》(JAMA: Internal Medicine)上的一项研究中,研究人员将摄入大量添加糖(占每日总热量的17%至21%)的人与摄入较少糖(仅占总热量的8%)的人进行了比较。高糖组的人死于心脏病的风险高出38%。)”可知,《美国医学会杂志》上的这项研究想要说明心脏病与糖的摄入有关。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Obesity is a complex problem with many causes. But among the likely suspects, sugar is high on the list. A variety of research has drawn a link (联系) between sugar consumption (消耗) and overweight. As sugar consumption has increased, so has our waistline. (肥胖是一个复杂的问题,有很多原因。但在可能的嫌疑人中,糖高居榜首。各种各样的研究表明糖的摄入和超重之间存在联系。随着糖摄入量的增加,我们的腰围也在增加。)”以及最后一段“In other words, there are many reasons to aim for a healthy weight. And cutting back on sugar is a good place to start. (换句话说,我们有很多理由追求健康的体重。减少糖的摄入是一个很好的开始。)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了糖摄入与肥胖之间的可能联系,以及肥胖和过多糖摄入对健康的影响,所以B项“Less Sugar—A Good Start for Health(少吃糖——健康的良好开端)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。

That artificial food dyes (染料) are unhealthy is not news. Some are known to cause hyperactivity (多动症) in some children, affecting their ability to learn. But regulatory agencies (监管机构) around the world don’t necessarily agree on which food dyes are a problem, or why. That may soon change. A 2021 peer-reviewed report by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment concluded that artificial food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children” and that the current levels that are regarded safe for consumption by the federal government are too high.
California is now considering requiring warning labels on food products and dietary supplements containing the seven most commonly used artificial dyes. The warning label requirement would put California on par with the European Union, which since 2010 has required food products containing certain artificial food dyes to carry warning labels about their negative effect on activity and attention in children.
Artificial dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Bright colors make candies appealing, especially to kids. But dyes are also in chocolate cake mixes, salad dressings and other products that don’t seem to cry out for a color boost.
In Europe, it was the 2010 label lawmaking that triggered (引发) companies’ decisions to reformulate. “If you’ re a company, you do not want to put a warning label on your product.” says Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. Warning labels are why European Starburst Fruit Chews are now colored with natural products, not the artificial dyes that brighten their North American counterparts (同类商品).
Given that artificial food dyes are used far more than needed, we need to be more cautious. After all, we don’t dye fresh fruits and vegetables, but we do dye candy and sprinkles, points out Joe Schwarcz, a chemistry professor at McGill University in Montreal. “The foods in which you find food dyes are foods that are poor in nutrition,” he says. “If you limit foods that contain food dyes, you automatically make your diet better.”
16. What can we learn about artificial food dyes from paragraph.1?
A. A 2021 report confirmed their negative effects.
B The fact that they are harmful is newly revealed.
C. Regulatory agencies consider them a serious problem.
D. The Federal government thinks their current standard too high.
17. What does the underlined part “on par with” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. In opposition to. B. In line with. C. in contrast to D. Ahead of.
18. Which might be a possible result of the new rule according to the article?
A. Food companies will stop coloring their products.
B. More fresh fruits and vegetables will appear in the market.
C. Food companies may replace artificial dyes with natural products.
D. It will be hard to find packaged foods without warning labels of dyes.
19. What’s Joe Schwarcz’s attitude towards artificial food dyes?
A. Approving. B. Neutral. C. Tolerant. D. Concerned.
【答案】16. A 17. B 18. B 19. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了2021年的一份报告证实了人工食用色素的负面影响,加州政府出台新规则,要求含有人工食用色素的食品贴上警告标签。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A 2021 peer-reviewed report by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment concluded that artificial food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children” and that the current levels that are regarded safe for consumption by the federal government are too high.(加州环境健康危害评估办公室2021年的一份同行评议报告得出结论,人工食用色素“会导致或加剧一些儿童的神经行为问题”,目前联邦政府认为安全的食用色素水平太高了。)”可知,2021年的一份报告证实了人工食用色素的负面影响,会导致或加剧一些儿童的神经行为问题。故选A项。
【17题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语on par with前文“California is now considering requiring warning labels on food products and dietary supplements containing the seven most commonly used artificial dyes.(加州目前正在考虑要求在食品和膳食补充剂上贴上含有七种最常用人工染料的警告标签。)”以及后文“which since 2010 has required food products containing certain artificial food dyes to carry warning labels about their negative effect on activity and attention in children.(欧盟自2010年以来就要求含有某些人工食用色素的食品贴上警告标签,说明它们对儿童活动和注意力的负面影响。)”可知,加州也要像欧盟一样要求含有人工食用色素的食品贴上警告标签,从而推知划线短语on par with与B项“In line with(符合,保持一致)”意思相近,警告标签的要求将使加州与欧盟保持一致。故选B项。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After all, we don’t dye fresh fruits and vegetables, but we do dye candy and sprinkles, points out Joe Schwarcz, a chemistry professor at McGill University in Montreal.(毕竟,我们不会给新鲜水果和蔬菜染色,但我们会给糖果和糖屑染色,蒙特利尔麦吉尔大学的化学教授Joe Schwarcz指出。)”可知,由于对染色剂危害的了解,我们会避开选择它们,然而新鲜水果和蔬菜却不会染色,因此新的规则可能产生的结果是更多的新鲜水果和蔬菜将出现在市场上。故选B项。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““The foods in which you find food dyes are foods that are poor in nutrition,” he says. “If you limit foods that contain food dyes, you automatically make your diet better.”(“你发现含有食物色素的食物是营养不良的食物”,他说。“如果你限制含有食用色素的食物,你的饮食就会自动变得更好。”)”可知,Joe Schwarcz对人工食用色素的态度是担忧的,认为含有食物色素的食物是营养不良的食物。故选D项。

But knowing how and why to exercise can’t get you starting and sticking to your exercise plan.(你已经知道有很多方法和很好的理由去锻炼——从改善情绪、睡眠和健康到减少焦虑。但是知道如何以及为什么锻炼并不能让你开始并坚持你的锻炼计划)”说明尽管你知道锻炼的多种方法和重要原因,但这些无法帮助你开始并坚持锻炼计划。空后“you need to follow these steps which can make exercise less painful and more fun(你需要遵循这些措施,它们可以让锻炼少一些痛苦,多一些乐趣)”说明需要遵循这些措施以使锻炼变得不那么痛苦且更有乐趣。由此可知,空处内容应是关于让锻炼变成习惯。D项“If you really want to make exercise a habit (如果你真的想让锻炼成为一种习惯)”提供了一个前提条件,表示如果你真的想要使锻炼成为一种习惯,这与空后提到的需要遵循的步骤紧密相关。故选D。
【22题详解】
空前“Get rid of the all-or-nothing attitude. You don’t have to spend hours in a gym or force yourself into boring or painful activities you hate to experience the physical and emotional benefits of exercise.(摆脱孤注一掷的态度。你不必花几个小时在健身房或强迫自己做无聊或痛苦的你不喜欢的活动,为了体验锻炼对身体和情感的好处)”说明摒弃极端的态度,你不用长时间待在健身房或强迫自己做自己讨厌的单调或痛苦的活动来体验锻炼对身体和情感的益处。因此空处需要填入的内容应与对待运动的正确态度有关。E项“Remember a little exercise is better than nothing(请记住,一点运动总比没有好)”与空前提到的极端的态度形成对比,强调即使是少量的锻炼也好过完全不锻炼,且E项中的“a little exercise”与空后的“tiny amounts of physical activity”呼应。故选E。
【23题详解】
空前“Be kind to yourself. Don’t punish yourself if you miss a workout.(善待自己。不要因为错过了锻炼而惩罚自己)”暗示空处填入的内容应与对待错过锻炼的态度有关,尤其是在没有按时每天锻炼时如何保持积极的心态。A项中的“Let it go”与前文的态度一致,强调采取一种轻松态度——随它去吧。A项中的“be patient”呼应后文中的“at the end of the day, you will find an exercise routine that works for you (归根结底,您会找到适合您的锻炼进程)”,因此推断A项“放手,耐心等待”符合句意。故选A。
【24题详解】
根据最后三段的结构特点可知,空处是本段的主旨句。空后“You are not out of shape overnight, and you’re not going to instantly transform your body either. Demanding too much, too soon only leads to dissatisfaction. Instead of paying attention only to results, focus on consistency (连贯性).(你不会一夜之间走样,你也不会立刻改变你的身材。要求太多,太快只会导致不满。与其只关注结果,不如关注连贯性)”讲述你不是一夜之间变得不健康的,你也不可能立刻改变你的身体,接着指出要求太多和太快只会导致不满。由此可推知,本段主要讲述的是要有合理的锻炼期望。故选C。

In a study of 33 years of trends in Body Mass Index (体重指数) across 200 countries, the scientists found that people worldwide are getting heavier ____40____ that most of the rise is due to gains in BMI in rural areas.
BMI is an internationally recognized measurement tool ____41____ gives an indication of whether someone is a healthy weight. It is calculated by dividing a ____42____ (person) weight in kg by their height in meters squared. and a BMI of between 19 and 25 ____43____ (consider) healthy.
The study found that between 1985 and 2017, average rural BMI increased ____44____ 2. 1 in women and men. In cities, however, the gain ____45____ (be) 1. 3 in women and 1. 6 in men. The researchers described “striking changes” in the geography of BMI. In 1985,urban men and women in more than three quarters of the countries ____46____ (study) had higher BMIs than men and women in rural areas.

【答案】40. and
41. that##which
42. person’s
43. is considered
44. by 45. was
46. studied
47. sharply
48. living 49. lower
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如今世界各地的人体重越来越超标,主要是由于农村地区的体重指数(BMI)增加了,并分析了其中的原因。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意:在一项对200个国家33年体重指数趋势的研究中,科学家们发现,世界各地的人们体重越来越重,而这主要是由于农村地区体重指数的增加。分析句子结构可知,that people worldwide are getting heavier和that most of the rise is due to gains in BMI in rural areas.都是found引导的宾语从句,是并列关系,故填and。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:BMI是一种国际公认的测量工具,它可以显示一个人的体重是否健康。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导的是定语从句,修饰先行词tool,且在从句中做主语,故填that/which。
【42题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:它的计算方法是用一个人的体重(公斤)除以身高(米)的平方,BMI在19到25之间被认为是健康的。分析句子结构可知,person是修饰weight的,用 person的名词所有格person’s。故填person’s。
【43题详解】
考查动词被动语态。句意:它的计算方法是用一个人的体重(公斤)除以身高(米)的平方,BMI在19到25之间被认为是健康的。分析句子结构可知,句子缺少谓语,主语(a BMI)是单数,时态是一般现在时,且主语和consider是表被动关系,故填is considered。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:研究发现,1985年至2017年间,农村女性和男性的平均BMI增加了2.1。increase by表示“增加了”;increase to表示“增加到”。根据正常的成人BMI数值(18.5-23.9)可知,increase by符合语境,故填by。
【45题详解】
考查主谓一致和动词时态。句意:然而,在城市中,女性增加了1.3,男性增加了1.6。分析句子结构可知,句子缺少谓语,主语(gain)是单数,时态是一般过去时,故填was。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:1985年,在被研究的国家中,超过四分之三的城市男性和女性的BMIs高于农村地区的男性和女性。分析句子结构可知,句子的谓语是had,所以study用非谓语形式,它的逻辑主语是countries,表被动关系,应该使用过去分词作定语。故填studied。
【47题详解】
考查副词。句意:但30年后,许多国家城市和农村人口的BMI差异大幅缩小。分析句子结构可知,sharp是要修饰动词narrow,用sharp的副词形式sharply。故填sharply。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这可能是由于生活在农村的人有一些不利条件,包括较低的收入和教育水平,较高的健康食品成本,以及较少的体育设施。分析句子结构可知,句子已有谓语动词may be,故live用非谓语形式,它的逻辑主语是people,表主动关系,做定语,用现在分词形式,故填living。
【49题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:这可能是由于生活在农村的人有一些不利条件,包括较低的收入和教育水平,较高的健康食品成本,以及较少的体育设施。分析句子结构可知,including说明的是一些不利条件,且后面有higher和fewer,是并列关系,所以low也应该用比较级形式,故填lower。

Dear fellow students,
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear fellow students,
With the rise of the takeaway industry, many of our classmates are replacing regular meals with takeaways. Frequent consumption of takeaways can lead to high fat and calorie intake, which may result in weight gain and other health issues. To maintain a healthy diet, we should consume a variety of foods, including grains, fruits, vegetables, and proteins.
