A year ago, I started working out with a personal trainer and the results were obvious. The reflection in the mirror was fit and strong, with a narrow waist. This month I’ll be celebrating my 74th birthday, but I feel more like I’m about to turn 40. In fact, I’m in the best shape of my life. And I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late to make changes. If I can do it in my early 70s, then you can do it too.
I haven’t always felt so body confident. As a busy working mum I had the same hang-ups as so many other women. In my forties I fell into the trap of trying to do it all. I raised my daughter Laura, now 43, while working as a NHS clinical leader, which left me feeling stressed and exhausted. By 50 I’d reached breaking point. I ended up breaking down in the doctor’s surgery. And I was signed off work with stress-related depression.
I began to do a lot of soul searching. My burnout had set me on a completely different path. Around this time, my approach to my health was also shifting. So many women hit 50 thinking that’s it and they’re done, but for me it felt like a new beginning.
I enrolled in a gym and learned how to use the equipments. Over the next few years, I went to the gym roughly twice a week. Sometimes I didn’t want to go—but at the end of every session I always felt better.
I wrote and self-published a book called Journey to Chocolate about my seeking for a more balanced and satisfying life. I started eating “clean” with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, avoiding processed food and not drinking alcohol from Monday to Thursday. The changes to my diet made me feel more energetic and alert. I slept better, and managing my weight was much easier.

26. What is the book Journey to Chocolate mainly about?
A. The meaning of life. B. The way to keep clean.
C. The author’s pursuit. D. The benefits of chocolate.
27. What can be the best title of this text?

Since childhood, London-based artist Josh Gluckstein has been fascinated by the incredible diversity of our planet’s wildlife and inspired to make sculptures of animals from found materials. He often uses abandoned or recycled materials like clothing from junk shops or wood from old furniture. An important aspect of his practice is concern for the environment. “I have traveled through Asia, Latin America and East Africa, and have been fortunate enough to have some incredible wildlife encounters,” he says. “However, on my travels, even in the most remote locations, I was shocked by the huge amounts of plastic waste.”
Much of the garbage that washes up on shorelines around the world is due to an unregulated (未受监管的) system in which richer countries export waste to developing countries because it is often cheaper than developing better infrastructures (基础设施) to handle it. Many of the thousands of shipping containers exported each year are often dumped illegally.
“I remember going to the Galapagos Islands and visiting a beach famous for a large population of sea lions. It was indeed incredible to see them in the wild, but on every inch of sand not covered by sea lions, there were plastic bottles and cans. It was a heartbreaking sight. I knew I wanted to create artworks that didn’t create waste or harm our planet,” Gluckstein says.
Gluckstein hopes his works will raise people’s awareness about the importance of protecting endangered species. His new series called “Gold” focuses on illegally hunted animals by applying gold leaves to their bodies. He plans to donate some of the sales of his sculptures to the world Wide Fund for Nature.
28. What do Gluckstein’s sculptures focus on?
A. Fashion. B. Animals. C. Sports. D. Travel.
29. What does the underlined word “dumped” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Poured, B. Protected. C. Sold. D. Used.
30. What does Gluckstein mainly want to say in paragraph 3?
A. Where he has toured. B. How sad he was.
C. How he found sea lions. D. Why he created eco-friendly sculptures.
31. What does Gluckstein expect of his works?
A. They can bring him financial benefits.
B. They can make him famous as an artist.
C. They can help protect endangered animals.
D. They can improve people’s ability to appreciate art.
D
Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your cart without even realizing it.
Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.
There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”
“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits, “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I’ve started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a cart. If I can’t carry it, I’m not buying it,” he added.
32. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout?
A. To encourage healthy lifestyle. B. To save consumers’ shopping time.
C. To provide multiple goods for choice. D. To promote non-essential consumption.
33. What does the underlined word “practice” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Distributing junk food in different areas.
B. Putting milk and eggs at the back of aisles.
C. Rearranging products in supermarkets regularly.
D. Placing fruit and vegetables at the front of the store.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Shopping baskets are better than heavy carts.
B. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.
C. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.
D. Taking a shopping list can be a smart move to avoid impulse buying.
35. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A business magazine. B. A psychology report.
C. A research paper. D. A shopping guidebook.

I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over.

【原文】M: During the past ten years or so, I have been suffering from terrible headaches, and it seems to be getting worse. Late last night, I got a sudden headache that was worse than all the others. It was so terrible that I could hardly bear it. Although I took all kinds of pain killers, I didn’t feel any better. It seemed that there was nothing else I could do, so I called my doctor and asked him to come over. One of our neighbors happened to be with us at the time.
He was not a doctor, but he offered his help, saying, do you mind if I try a special kind of traditional Chinese treatment on you? These needles might help with your headaches. I agreed. He quickly took out a few needles from his bag. Without a moment’s delay, he put a few needles into the skin on my head in several different places. Before long I felt completely better. Just then, the doctor came running into my house and said, where is our patient? Sorry, doctor, you are too late. The pain is gone. I answered in delight. It’s a miracle, isn’t it?

A year ago, I started working out with a personal trainer and the results were obvious. The reflection in the mirror was fit and strong, with a narrow waist. This month I’ll be celebrating my 74th birthday, but I feel more like I’m about to turn 40. In fact, I’m in the best shape of my life. And I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late to make changes. If I can do it in my early 70s, then you can do it too.
I haven’t always felt so body confident. As a busy working mum I had the same hang-ups as so many other women. In my forties I fell into the trap of trying to do it all. I raised my daughter Laura, now 43, while working as a NHS clinical leader, which left me feeling stressed and exhausted. By 50 I’d reached breaking point. I ended up breaking down in the doctor’s surgery. And I was signed off work with stress-related depression.
I began to do a lot of soul searching. My burnout had set me on a completely different path. Around this time, my approach to my health was also shifting. So many women hit 50 thinking that’s it and they’re done, but for me it felt like a new beginning.
I enrolled in a gym and learned how to use the equipments. Over the next few years, I went to the gym roughly twice a week. Sometimes I didn’t want to go—but at the end of every session I always felt better.
I wrote and self-published a book called Journey to Chocolate about my seeking for a more balanced and satisfying life. I started eating “clean” with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, avoiding processed food and not drinking alcohol from Monday to Thursday. The changes to my diet made me feel more energetic and alert. I slept better, and managing my weight was much easier.
24. Why does the author write this article?
A. To inspire. B. To inform. C. To discuss. D. To show off.
25. What does the author think of her life as a working mum?
A. Annoying. B. Tiring. C. Rewarding. D. Amazing.
26. What is the book Journey to Chocolate mainly about?
A. The meaning of life. B. The way to keep clean.
C. The author’s pursuit. D. The benefits of chocolate.
27. What can be the best title of this text?

C. Retire as Early as Possible D. Make Use of Old Age

Since childhood, London-based artist Josh Gluckstein has been fascinated by the incredible diversity of our planet’s wildlife and inspired to make sculptures of animals from found materials. He often uses abandoned or recycled materials like clothing from junk shops or wood from old furniture. An important aspect of his practice is concern for the environment. “I have traveled through Asia, Latin America and East Africa, and have been fortunate enough to have some incredible wildlife encounters,” he says. “However, on my travels, even in the most remote locations, I was shocked by the huge amounts of plastic waste.”
Much of the garbage that washes up on shorelines around the world is due to an unregulated (未受监管的) system in which richer countries export waste to developing countries because it is often cheaper than developing better infrastructures (基础设施) to handle it. Many of the thousands of shipping containers exported each year are often dumped illegally.
“I remember going to the Galapagos Islands and visiting a beach famous for a large population of sea lions. It was indeed incredible to see them in the wild, but on every inch of sand not covered by sea lions, there were plastic bottles and cans. It was a heartbreaking sight. I knew I wanted to create artworks that didn’t create waste or harm our planet,” Gluckstein says.
Gluckstein hopes his works will raise people’s awareness about the importance of protecting endangered species. His new series called “Gold” focuses on illegally hunted animals by applying gold leaves to their bodies. He plans to donate some of the sales of his sculptures to the world Wide Fund for Nature.
28. What do Gluckstein’s sculptures focus on?
A. Fashion. B. Animals. C. Sports. D. Travel.
29. What does the underlined word “dumped” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Poured, B. Protected. C. Sold. D. Used.
30. What does Gluckstein mainly want to say in paragraph 3?
A. Where he has toured. B. How sad he was.
C. How he found sea lions. D. Why he created eco-friendly sculptures.
31. What does Gluckstein expect of his works?
A. They can bring him financial benefits.
B. They can make him famous as an artist.
C. They can help protect endangered animals.
D. They can improve people’s ability to appreciate art.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C

【31题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Gluckstein hopes his works will raise people’s awareness about the importance of protecting endangered species.

Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your cart without even realizing it.
Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.
There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”
“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits, “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I’ve started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a cart. If I can’t carry it, I’m not buying it,” he added.
32. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout?
A. To encourage healthy lifestyle. B. To save consumers’ shopping time.
C. To provide multiple goods for choice. D. To promote non-essential consumption.
33. What does the underlined word “practice” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Distributing junk food in different areas.
B. Putting milk and eggs at the back of aisles.
C. Rearranging products in supermarkets regularly.
D. Placing fruit and vegetables at the front of the store.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Shopping baskets are better than heavy carts.
B. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.
C. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.
D. Taking a shopping list can be a smart move to avoid impulse buying.
35. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A business magazine. B. A psychology report.
C. A research paper. D. A shopping guidebook.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了超市布局背后促进非必要消费的特殊原因以及建议。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.(与此同时,牛奶和鸡蛋等必需品被放在商店的后面,以确保顾客走过其他走道,那里有许多不健康的选择,如零食和苏打水,这可能会增加冲动购买的可能性。)”可知,超市布局的目的是促进非必要消费。故选D。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. (他们非常清楚,在你逛了几次店,对所有东西的位置有了更好的了解之后,这些策略就会变得不那么有效,所以他们会定期把产品挪到不同的通道,让你感到困惑。)”以及后文“is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”可知,“定期在超市重新摆放产品”的做法并不局限于特定的商店,而是在各种零售连锁店中使用。故划线词意思是“定期在超市重新摆放产品”。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me (这就是为什么我总是随身带着购物清单)”可知,带购物清单是避免冲动购物的明智之举。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your cart without even realizing it. (你有没有想过超市的普遍布局?聪明的设计师在背后巧妙地引诱你走过每一个通道,在你没有意识到的情况下装满你的购物。车)”结合文章主要说明了超市布局背后促进非必要消费的特殊原因以及建议。可知,文章选自一本商业杂志。故选A。

67. 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 didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.

Now that Del had forgiven me I decided to do more before the recess was over.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us?” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head.
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors.
