Passage 3（2024·荔湾区统考） Why do we love sugar so much? Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be hard to stop. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and makes us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a very strong effect. 41 Doctors recommend we all cut down on it. “Every time I study an illness and try to find out the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diseases. 42 Our bodies are suitable to live on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so their bodies learned to be very good at storing sugar as fat. 43 But today, most people have more than enough. So the thing we needed before may now be killing us. 44 We need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s difficult to avoid. From breakfast to dinner, our foods are increasingly filled with it. 45 Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or encourage students to take more exercise. A. So what is the good way to solve it? B. It is believed that sugar is one of the causes. C. But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. D. In this way, it is in fact something harmful to our health. E. In this way, they had energy stored for when there was no food.

Taking care of a pet encourages children to learn the value of responsibility. More Relaxed Studies show that kids with pets are more relaxed. And they have less stress and have less to worry about. 30 Better Reading Abilities Kids who get pets often read to their pets. 31 They also find that reading to pets helps children make better connections between things and improve their reading motivation(动力).

Many traditional forms of qigong, such as Baduanjin, Tai Chi, Five-animal Boxing, have drawn much more attention than before. 26 Recently, an instruction video of Baduanjin, has been played for more than 10 million times and received over 6000 comments (评论) on Bilibili, a video sharing platform. 27 Baduanjin is one of the oldest health and fitness forms in China. 28 The name generally refers to eight movements. Compared with more physically-demanding sports such as the ball games, swimming or gym workouts, 29 So it used to be considered as the exclusive (专属) sport for old people. No equipment (装备) is necessary and it requires very little space or time. It is easy and convenient to take up. Many office workers regard it a perfect way to keep healthy. A young netizen (网民) commented below the video, “I have been doing Baduanjin for about four months and it makes me sleep better and get stronger.

But now as we grow older and get busy, we don’t have so much time to look for books and can’t decide on what to read. 21 Judge the book by its cover. 22 But covers are carefully designed so that they can tell you what’s in the book, what kind of person it’s for and what to expect. So next time if you’re at a bookstore and are trying to decide which of the three or four books to buy, you can just trust the cover, pick what jumps out at you. Choose not what others like but what you like. People tend to read what others are reading, even though it’s not anything that they would normally want to read. 23 Unless you have the exact same taste as them, you might not agree that the book is great—and it might be difficult for you to get through it. Drop the book if you find yourself scrolling through (刷) Instagram. You know if you don’t like something. If you’re falling asleep, checking your phone or rolling your eyes as you’re reading the sentences, that might be a good sign that you don’t like what you’re reading. So put this book down. 24 25 Bookstores get to decide and store what they think will sell or will be interesting to their community. For that reason, you can look and see what’s on the tables at the front of the bookstore or what’s facing out on the shelves, because there is usually something that’s new and exciting to the world. A. Store what local bookstores are selling. B. There are many other books suitable for you to read. C. Scrolling through Instagram might be a better choice. D. Pay attention to what’s on display at your local bookstore. E. Sometimes the book you’ve enjoyed has an embarrassing cover you don’t like. F. But it’s better to trust what you like, instead of trying to read what your friends like. G. Here are some tips that will help you discover a book you’ll enjoy and want to finish. Passage 7（2024·山东一模） How do you usually decide where to go on vacation? Will you decide where to travel because of the local landmarks (地标)? 21 Recently, a new way of travelling—“food tourism” has become popular. “food tourism” means that people travel to new places to try the local food. 22 For example, you can try street food, visit food markets, or eat at local restaurants. And a 2023 survey from Hello Fresh found that 74% of Americans who have travelled in the last five years went for the food. The top four countries that Americans said they want to visit for their food are Italy, France, Spain and Japan. 23 A 2022 survey by Eurostar asked 2,000 people in Britain what their main reason was for choosing where to go on vacation. 61% of people said “the food” and 41% of people said they would travel hundreds of kilometers to find the perfect meal. Some people even like to take part in the cooking themselves. 24 The survey also found that British people like to try new and different foods when they are travelling. Nearly half of people believe that they are more adventurous (大胆的) with what they eat when they are away from home. 25 Another survey from 2023 said that Italy, Spain and France are the top three European countries that they’d like to choose. A. You can try the food in different ways. B. After all, food tourism is for everyone. C. Or do you choose where to go according to the food? D.

Passage 8（2024·广实三模） A taste of the world’s coolest food Every summer around the world, people wait in lines outside ice cream shops as they look for a tasty way to cool themselves down or cheer themselves up. 41 No one is really sure who invented ice cream. 42 In the 154 century AD, the Roman emperor enjoyed ice with honey and nuts, although this was more like a frozen mixture of water, sugar and fruit juice. One of the first examples of ice made with milk can date back to the Tang Dynasty in China. Ice cream arrived in Europe in the 16th century and quickly became popular in Italy and France. 43 If you go to Germany, you can buy “spaghetti” ice cream which looks like noodles with strawberry sauce and white chocolate on the top. 44 All the things are quickly mixed in and the ice cream is done. There is a special ice cream named Maotai ice cream in China. It chooses fresh milk and add with about 2% of 53℃ Feitian Maotai. Ice cream is getting more popular across the world. Customers want new, exciting taste, and lots of people are turning to healthier ice cream without dairy milk and cream. 45 A. In Thailand, i-tim-pad is made by pouring mixture onto a freezing plate.

Passage 9（2024·深圳龙华区第二实验学校） Many of us were told from an early age to learn from our mistakes. 26 The short answer is “yes” and failure (失败) can teach us something. But learning from our mistakes is in fact very hard because we don’t like to fail. 27 For example, we may give up a job easily, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding mistakes with the job itself. This is self-protection (自我保护), according to a professor at the Norwegian School of Economics. Most of us want to think of ourselves to be excellent, so failure may be bad for our self-image (自我形象). Luckily, there are studies to suggest that there are some methods of helping us deal with the bad feelings around failure. 28 Instead of asking “Why did I fail?”, we could ask “Why did Sam fail?”, for example. Many studies show that using a third-person perspective helps to reduce our bad feelings. It allows us to look at failure more positively. The second method is to offer advice to others who may be in the same situation. 29 Both adults and children were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors found that helping others could help people understand their experience and what they had learned. 30 But it now seems that we should be saying, “Fail again. Fail more wisely.” Failure can’t be avoided in life. However, we may find the road to success easily by learning. A. But is this actually true? B. A famous writer once said, “Fail again. Fail better.” C. Why is it so important for us to learn from mistakes? D. One of them is to use a third-person perspective (视角). E. This method led to better levels of success in the test groups. F. It doesn’t feel good, so we respond to failure in emotional (情绪化的) ways. Passage 10（2024·龙岗区期末） Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. 26 But there’s one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”. He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth. People in different parts of China commemorated (纪念) Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to reflect on his thoughts on education. Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, US, in 1914. 27 . But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey’s education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He proposed (提出) “unity (融合) of teaching, learning, and reflective acting”. 28 After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy (文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. 29 To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal collage (晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at rural schools. 30 He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难) children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937. Maybe Tao’s motto is the best explanation for his life, “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass.” A. There he studied educational philosophy under the guidance of John Dewey, an American philosopher and educational reformer (改革家). B. Even during the anti-Japanese war, Tao never forgot his ambition. C. To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working. D. They are tasked with the mission to spread knowledge ideas and truth. E. On the voyage (航行) of life, he kindled the light of hope for everyone. F. Apart from reforming education methods, Tao also tried his best to promote mass education (大众教育). Passage 11（2024·龙岗区） Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. 26 Create an interest in what they learn. Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active. 27 Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programmes in English. This way they will not get bored. 28 Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practise more. Remember, “use it or lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes. Develop their study skills. It is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. 29 For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways to review what they have learned. Ask questions. Good learners often ask questions during or after class. 30 Knowledge comes from questioning. A. Practice makes perfect. B. Practise and learn from mistakes. C. Good learners find out the best ways to learn well. D. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. E. And it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. F. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common. Passage 12（2024·深圳第三中学） Everyone at some time feels that their life is going nowhere. Don’t worry. Read our list of things to do now to make your life better and more enjoyable. Make a daily plan. Do you wake up in the morning with a terrible feeling because there is just so much to get done? 26 A few minutes spent making a list will prevent you from forgetting something important, and will help you prioritize your tasks. Meditation(冥想). Meditation gives you a chance to clear your mind and focus on the now. Some folks like to meditate by sitting cross-legged in a quiet room with calm music in the background. Others prefer to sit on their porch and watch the world go by. 27 Remember, the key thing is that you must clear your mind and focus on you in the here and now. Help others. One of the best ways of creating a positive mind is to help other people. 28 You might offer to help in a thrift shop or to do some gardening for an older person. Helping others will make you feel that you contribute a bit to the world. 29 Get out into the countryside and enjoy the great outdoors. If you need a reason, take a camera. Appreciate the sheer beauty of the world we live in, and think how lucky you are to be a part of it.

"Heraclitus said in about 500 B. C. That could be more true today. 26 Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day. Francis Bacon said. "Knowledge is power." In fact. There is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life. Why are we afraid of change? 27 After all, who knows what new dangers might appear? However, change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. 28 To be more imaginative and creative, you should look for and find environments you have no experience with. 29 For example, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn't attend. Small changes can help you gradually get used to uncertainty (不确定). So when bigger things happen. You'll be more fully prepared for them. People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so. 30 If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful. A. People are thirsty for knowledge. B. That's because our brains want to protect us. C. But change comes whether you ask for it or not. D. We live in a world that is changing every minute. E.

Keep your cool. 44 If you are very angry, you can try to take a deep breath or count to 10. Before you talk with your family members, you can also make some physical movements.

However, if you let everyone talk, they’ll listen to what you will say, too. 47 Instead of blaming (责备) your family members or calling them out, try to speak out your feelings as peacefully as possible.

But now as we grow older and get busy, we don’t have so much time to look for books and can’t decide on what to read. 21 Judge the book by its cover. 22 But covers are carefully designed so that they can tell you what’s in the book, what kind of person it’s for and what to expect. So next time if you’re at a bookstore and are trying to decide which of the three or four books to buy, you can just trust the cover, pick what jumps out at you. Choose not what others like but what you like. People tend to read what others are reading, even though it’s not anything that they would normally want to read. 23 Unless you have the exact same taste as them, you might not agree that the book is great—and it might be difficult for you to get through it. Drop the book if you find yourself scrolling through (刷) Instagram. You know if you don’t like something. If you’re falling asleep, checking your phone or rolling your eyes as you’re reading the sentences, that might be a good sign that you don’t like what you’re reading. So put this book down. 24 25 Bookstores get to decide and store what they think will sell or will be interesting to their community. For that reason, you can look and see what’s on the tables at the front of the bookstore or what’s facing out on the shelves, because there is usually something that’s new and exciting to the world. A. Store what local bookstores are selling. B. There are many other books suitable for you to read. C. Scrolling through Instagram might be a better choice. D. Pay attention to what’s on display at your local bookstore. E. Sometimes the book you’ve enjoyed has an embarrassing cover you don’t like. F.

But learning from our mistakes is in fact very hard because we don’t like to fail. 27 For example, we may give up a job easily, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding mistakes with the job itself. This is self-protection (自我保护), according to a professor at the Norwegian School of Economics. Most of us want to think of ourselves to be excellent, so failure may be bad for our self-image (自我形象). Luckily, there are studies to suggest that there are some methods of helping us deal with the bad feelings around failure. 28 Instead of asking “Why did I fail?”, we could ask “Why did Sam fail?”, for example. Many studies show that using a third-person perspective helps to reduce our bad feelings. It allows us to look at failure more positively. The second method is to offer advice to others who may be in the same situation. 29 Both adults and children were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors found that helping others could help people understand their experience and what they had learned. 30 But it now seems that we should be saying, “Fail again. Fail more wisely.” Failure can’t be avoided in life. However, we may find the road to success easily by learning. A. But is this actually true? B. A famous writer once said, “Fail again. Fail better.” C. Why is it so important for us to learn from mistakes? D. One of them is to use a third-person perspective (视角). E. This method led to better levels of success in the test groups. F.

He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth.

Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, US, in 1914. 27 . But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey’s education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He proposed (提出) “unity (融合) of teaching, learning, and reflective acting”. 28 After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy (文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. 29 To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal collage (晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at rural schools. 30 He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难) children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937.

C. To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working. D. They are tasked with the mission to spread knowledge ideas and truth. E.
