Nicholas Sparks is an American novelist known for his best-selling tales of romance (浪漫) and heartbreak.
Sparks grew up mainly in north-central California, where his family moved when he was eight. He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel. In 1988, he graduated with a major in business and held a variety of jobs. In the early 1990s, he and his wife, Cathy Cote, settled in North Carolina, which later provided a setting for his novels.
While working his day job, Sparks continued to write. He cooperated with former Olympic runner Billy Mills on Wokini: A Lakota Journey to Happiness and Self-Understanding. The book, which was inspired by a Native American legend, was published in 1990. Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best-seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996. By the time the film adaptation (改编) was released in 2004, Sparks had published seven more novels.
Although Sparks’s fiction usually involves love stories, he rejects the suggestion that he is a “romance novelist”. His supporters agree that Sparks explores more-serious subject matter, such as loneliness, sadness, and loss, and that many of his books feature less-than-happy endings. That is also evident in his only nonfiction work, Three Weeks with My Brother, in which he and his brother, Micah, share their own emotional responses to the deaths of their parents and sister.
Sparks has devoted much of his time and literary profits to writing programs at Notre Dame and to charitable causes, most notably the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, which he and his wife established in 2011.
24. What led Sparks to write his first novel?
A. A scholarship. B. His marriage. C. An accident. D. His major.
25. What do we know about The Notebook?
A. It arrived in cinemas in 2004.
B. It was written by two authors.
C. It became a hit due to a report.
D. It was Sparks’ nonfiction work.
26. Why isn’t Sparks a romance novelist?
A. His stories have nothing to do with love.
B. He prefers to record real events in lives.
C. His books never end with happiness.
D. He pays attention to various themes.
27. Which words can best describe Sparks?
A. Lucky and careful. B. Tough and caring. C. Honest and brave. D. Tolerant and calm.
C
When it comes to traditional performing arts in Thailand, Khon (孔舞) is perhaps the most famous of them all. These days, Khon is performed everywhere from schools to special events, and even in tourist-frequented Thai restaurants. But one of the best places to experience a real Khon performance is Bangkok’s Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre.
Apassara Nok-ork, 35, has been performing Khon in the theatre. She started studying traditional Thai dance at around four years old, choosing to focus on Khon from the age of 15.
“We have to start learning Khon at a very young age,” Apassara says. “And we have to keep practicing the routine, and training our body often to keep our strength, since the clothes are really heavy. While we perform, if we didn’t have enough training, our situation of being tired would show and the audience would see it.”
Among the most important skills a Khon performer must have is flexibility (灵活性). Even the hand movements that the female dancers carry out on stage are highly unnatural, which is the result of years of hard training.
For Apassara, all of the pain and hard work over the years has been worth it. Khon has enabled her to perform at big festivals including government events, and it has also taken her to faraway places — she has traveled all over the world. She feels proud every time she presents this valuable art to people. She still feels excited every single time she performs, no matter how many times she has done it before.
But like many of her coworkers, Apassara fears for its future. “I think it’s my duty to let people pay attention to Khon more, because I don’t know if it will disappear in the future or people may not care about it anymore,” says Apassara. “Currently, there is only a small group of people who are protecting it. I want everyone to help — both Thai people and foreigners.”
28. Why do Khon performers need to train their bodies according to Apassara?
A. To look more beautiful on the stage. B. To deal with the heavy clothes.
C. To have a longer working life. D. To avoid being out of shape.
29. What influence does Khon have on Apassara?
A. It brings her many like-minded friends. B. It enables her to become famous worldwide.
C. It enriches her life and builds her confidence. D. It makes her hand movements more flexible.
30 Which words can best describe Apassara?
A. Honest and patient. B. Easy-going and humorous.
C. Hard-working and responsible. D. Creative and professional.
31. What do Apassara’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Khon should be learned and protected by more people.
B. The Thai government should offer more support.
C. Khon is losing attraction among foreigners.
D. Some methods have been taken to pass down Khon.
D
Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are one of the most astonishing and vital ecosystems on our planet. They are often referred to as the “rain forests of the sea” due to their rich biodiversity and significant ecological importance.
Coral reefs are formed by the accumulation (积累) of calcium carbonate produced by tiny marine organisms (海洋生物) called coral polyps. These polyps work together over long periods of time to create large, complex structures that provide a habitat for a large collection of marine life.
One of the remarkable features of coral reefs is the incredible diversity of species they support. Thousands of different types of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other marine creatures call coral reefs home. This diversity is not only a wonder to behold but also plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the marine ecosystem.
Reefs also offer important economic benefits. They attract tourists from all over the world, contributing to local economies through activities such as diving, and fishing.
However, coral reefs are currently facing numerous threats. Climate change is a major concern, as rising sea temperatures cause coral bleaching. When water gets too warm, corals expel (排出) the symbiotic algae that gives them their color and provides essential nutrients, often leading to the death of the coral. Pollution, overfishing, and destructive fishing practices also pose significant risks to the health and survival of these delicate ecosystems.
It is our responsibility to take action and protect coral reefs for the benefit of present and future generations. Only through our collective efforts can we hope to preserve these magnificent underwater landscapes and the countless species that depend on them.
32. The author mentions that coral reefs are often called the “rain forests of the sea” mainly to emphasize ______.
A. their geographical distribution similar to rain forests
B. the fact that they are as easy to be damaged as rain forests
C. the high level of biodiversity and ecological significance
D. the role they play in the global climate just like rain forests
33. What does the underlined word “delicate” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Weak. B. Unchanging. C. Strong. D. Unbreaking.
34. What’s the author’s attitude towards the protection of coral reefs?
A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Supportive.
35. What might be the best title of this passage?
A. Coral reefs: Treasure or Trash? B. Coral reefs: Winner or Loser?
C. Coral reefs: From Hopeless to Hopeful D. Coral reefs: From Wonder to Worry

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右。

Nicholas Sparks is an American novelist known for his best-selling tales of romance (浪漫) and heartbreak.
Sparks grew up mainly in north-central California, where his family moved when he was eight. He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel. In 1988, he graduated with a major in business and held a variety of jobs. In the early 1990s, he and his wife, Cathy Cote, settled in North Carolina, which later provided a setting for his novels.
While working his day job, Sparks continued to write. He cooperated with former Olympic runner Billy Mills on Wokini: A Lakota Journey to Happiness and Self-Understanding. The book, which was inspired by a Native American legend, was published in 1990. Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best-seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996. By the time the film adaptation (改编) was released in 2004, Sparks had published seven more novels.
Although Sparks’s fiction usually involves love stories, he rejects the suggestion that he is a “romance novelist”. His supporters agree that Sparks explores more-serious subject matter, such as loneliness, sadness, and loss, and that many of his books feature less-than-happy endings. That is also evident in his only nonfiction work, Three Weeks with My Brother, in which he and his brother, Micah, share their own emotional responses to the deaths of their parents and sister.
Sparks has devoted much of his time and literary profits to writing programs at Notre Dame and to charitable causes, most notably the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, which he and his wife established in 2011.
24. What led Sparks to write his first novel?
A. A scholarship. B. His marriage. C. An accident. D. His major.
25. What do we know about The Notebook?
A. It arrived in cinemas in 2004.
B. It was written by two authors.
C. It became a hit due to a report.
D. It was Sparks’ nonfiction work.
26. Why isn’t Sparks a romance novelist?
A. His stories have nothing to do with love.
B. He prefers to record real events in lives.
C. His books never end with happiness.
D. He pays attention to various themes.
27. Which words can best describe Sparks?
A. Lucky and careful. B. Tough and caring. C. Honest and brave. D. Tolerant and calm.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国小说家Nicholas Sparks的成长经历、写作生涯,他作品的特点以及他在慈善方面的贡献。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel.(他凭借田径奖学金进入圣母大学,但一次受伤结束了他的运动生涯,并促使他写出了第一部未出版的小说)”可知,一次受伤(即意外事故)促使Sparks写了他的第一部小说。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996.

【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Although Sparks’s fiction usually involves love stories, he rejects the suggestion that he is a ‘romance novelist’. His supporters agree that Sparks explores more serious subject matter, such as loneliness, sadness, and loss, and that many of his books feature less than happy endings.(虽然Sparks的小说通常包含爱情故事,但他不认同自己是“言情小说家”这一说法。他的支持者们一致认为,Sparks探讨了更严肃的主题,如孤独、悲伤和失落,而且他的许多书都以不太圆满的结局收尾)”可知,Sparks不仅仅关注爱情故事,还关注各种不同的主题,所以他不是言情小说家。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel.(他凭借田径奖学金进入圣母大学,但一次受伤结束了他的运动生涯,并促使他写出了第一部未出版的小说)”和第三段“Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996.(决心成为一名职业作家的Sparks花了几个月时间创作了他的第一部出版小说《恋恋笔记本》,该书于1996年面向公众发行后立即登上了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜)”可知,Sparks在受伤结束运动生涯后,没有放弃,而是坚持写作并取得成功,体现了他的坚韧。再根据最后一段“Sparks has devoted much of his time and literary profits to writing programs at Notre Dame and to charitable causes, most notably the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, which he and his wife established in 2011.(Sparks将大量的时间和文学收益投入到圣母大学的写作项目以及慈善事业中,其中最著名的是他和妻子在2011年成立的Nicholas Sparks基金会)”可知,他很有爱心,愿意为慈善事业付出。所以“Tough and caring(坚韧且有爱心)”最能描述他。故选B项。
C
When it comes to traditional performing arts in Thailand, Khon (孔舞) is perhaps the most famous of them all. These days, Khon is performed everywhere from schools to special events, and even in tourist-frequented Thai restaurants. But one of the best places to experience a real Khon performance is Bangkok’s Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre.
Apassara Nok-ork, 35, has been performing Khon in the theatre. She started studying traditional Thai dance at around four years old, choosing to focus on Khon from the age of 15.
“We have to start learning Khon at a very young age,” Apassara says. “And we have to keep practicing the routine, and training our body often to keep our strength, since the clothes are really heavy. While we perform, if we didn’t have enough training, our situation of being tired would show and the audience would see it.”
Among the most important skills a Khon performer must have is flexibility (灵活性). Even the hand movements that the female dancers carry out on stage are highly unnatural, which is the result of years of hard training.
For Apassara, all of the pain and hard work over the years has been worth it. Khon has enabled her to perform at big festivals including government events, and it has also taken her to faraway places — she has traveled all over the world. She feels proud every time she presents this valuable art to people. She still feels excited every single time she performs, no matter how many times she has done it before.
But like many of her coworkers, Apassara fears for its future. “I think it’s my duty to let people pay attention to Khon more, because I don’t know if it will disappear in the future or people may not care about it anymore,” says Apassara. “Currently, there is only a small group of people who are protecting it. I want everyone to help — both Thai people and foreigners.”
28. Why do Khon performers need to train their bodies according to Apassara?
A. To look more beautiful on the stage. B. To deal with the heavy clothes.
C. To have a longer working life. D. To avoid being out of shape.
29. What influence does Khon have on Apassara?
A. It brings her many like-minded friends. B. It enables her to become famous worldwide.
C. It enriches her life and builds her confidence. D. It makes her hand movements more flexible.
30. Which words can best describe Apassara?
A. Honest and patient. B. Easy-going and humorous.
C. Hard-working and responsible. D. Creative and professional.
31. What do Apassara’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Khon should be learned and protected by more people.
B. The Thai government should offer more support.
C. Khon is losing attraction among foreigners.
D. Some methods have been taken to pass down Khon.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了泰国传统舞蹈孔舞,包括其表演地点,表演者Apassara Nok-ork的经历、表演者需具备的技能以及Apassara对孔舞未来发展的担忧和期望。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“And we have to keep practicing the routine, and training our body often to keep our strength, since the clothes are really heavy.(我们必须坚持练习,经常训练我们的身体来保持力量,因为衣服真的很重)”可知,孔舞表演者需要训练身体是为了应对沉重的服装,故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Khon has enabled her to perform at big festivals including government events, and it has also taken her to faraway places — she has traveled all over the world. She feels proud every time she presents this valuable art to people. She still feels excited every single time she performs, no matter how many times she has done it before.(孔舞使她能够在包括政府活动在内的大型节日上表演,也带她去了很远的地方——她走遍了世界。每次向人们展示这些珍贵的艺术品时,她都感到很自豪。她每次表演都很兴奋,不管她以前表演过多少次)”可知,孔舞丰富了Apassara的生活,让她有机会去世界各地表演,并且让她感到自豪,增强了她的信心,故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“She started studying traditional Thai dance at around four years old, choosing to focus on Khon from the age of 15.(她在四岁左右开始学习传统的泰国舞蹈,从15岁开始选择专注于孔舞)”和第三段中“And we have to keep practicing the routine, and training our body often to keep our strength(我们必须坚持练习,经常训练我们的身体来保持力量,因为衣服真的很重)”可知,Apassara从小开始学习泰国传统舞蹈,坚持训练,说明她很努力,结合最后一段中“I think it’s my duty to let people pay attention to Khon more, because I don’t know if it will disappear in the future or people may not care about it anymore(我认为让人们更多地关注孔舞是我的责任,因为我不知道它将来是否会消失,或者人们可能不再关心它)”可知,她很有责任心。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘I think it’s my duty to let people pay attention to Khon more, because I don’t know if it will disappear in the future or people may not care about it anymore,’ says Apassara. ‘Currently, there is only a small group of people who are protecting it. I want everyone to help — both Thai people and foreigners.’(‘我认为让人们更多地关注孔语是我的责任,因为我不知道它将来是否会消失,或者人们可能不再关心它,’Apassara说。‘目前,只有一小部分人在保护它。我希望每个人都能提供帮助,包括泰国人和外国人。’)”可知,Apassara表明孔舞应该被更多的人学习和保护,故选A。
D
Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are one of the most astonishing and vital ecosystems on our planet. They are often referred to as the “rain forests of the sea” due to their rich biodiversity and significant ecological importance.
Coral reefs are formed by the accumulation (积累) of calcium carbonate produced by tiny marine organisms (海洋生物) called coral polyps. These polyps work together over long periods of time to create large, complex structures that provide a habitat for a large collection of marine life.
One of the remarkable features of coral reefs is the incredible diversity of species they support. Thousands of different types of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other marine creatures call coral reefs home. This diversity is not only a wonder to behold but also plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the marine ecosystem.
Reefs also offer important economic benefits. They attract tourists from all over the world, contributing to local economies through activities such as diving, and fishing.
However, coral reefs are currently facing numerous threats. Climate change is a major concern, as rising sea temperatures cause coral bleaching. When water gets too warm, corals expel (排出) the symbiotic algae that gives them their color and provides essential nutrients, often leading to the death of the coral. Pollution, overfishing, and destructive fishing practices also pose significant risks to the health and survival of these delicate ecosystems.
It is our responsibility to take action and protect coral reefs for the benefit of present and future generations. Only through our collective efforts can we hope to preserve these magnificent underwater landscapes and the countless species that depend on them.
32. The author mentions that coral reefs are often called the “rain forests of the sea” mainly to emphasize ______.
A. their geographical distribution similar to rain forests
B. the fact that they are as easy to be damaged as rain forests
C. the high level of biodiversity and ecological significance
D. the role they play in the global climate just like rain forests
33. What does the underlined word “delicate” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Weak. B. Unchanging. C. Strong. D. Unbreaking.
34. What’s the author’s attitude towards the protection of coral reefs?
A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Supportive.
35. What might be the best title of this passage?
A. Coral reefs: Treasure or Trash? B. Coral reefs: Winner or Loser?
C. Coral reefs: From Hopeless to Hopeful D. Coral reefs: From Wonder to Worry
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了珊瑚礁丰富的生物多样性、重要的生态意义以及带来的经济利益,也指出珊瑚礁面临的诸多威胁,如气候变化、污染、过度捕捞等,最后呼吁人们采取行动保护珊瑚礁。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They are often referred to as the “rain forests of the sea” due to their rich biodiversity and significant ecological importance. (由于其丰富的生物多样性和重要的生态重要性,它们通常被称为“海洋雨林”。)”可知,作者提到珊瑚礁常被称为“海洋雨林”,主要是为了强调高度的生物多样性和生态意义。故选C。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Climate change is a major concern, as rising sea temperatures cause coral bleaching. When water gets too warm, corals expel (排出) the symbiotic algae that gives them their color and provides essential nutrients, often leading to the death of the coral. (气候变化是一个主要问题,因为海水温度上升导致珊瑚白化。当水变得太热时,珊瑚会排出共生藻类,而共生藻类赋予它们颜色并提供必需的营养,这通常会导致珊瑚死亡。)”以及“Pollution, overfishing, and destructive fishing practices also pose significant risks to the health and survival of these (污染、过度捕捞和破坏性捕捞也对这些……构成重大风险)”可知,珊瑚礁面临着许多威胁,如气候变化导致的珊瑚白化,以及污染、过度捕捞和破坏性捕捞等,这些都表明珊瑚礁生态系统很脆弱,容易受到破坏,故划线词意思是“脆弱的”与A选项意思相近。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is our responsibility to take action and protect coral reefs for the benefit of present and future generations. Only through our collective efforts can we hope to preserve these magnificent underwater landscapes and the countless species that depend on them. (为了今世后代的利益,我们有责任采取行动保护珊瑚礁。只有通过我们的共同努力,我们才有希望保护这些壮丽的水下景观和无数依赖它们生存的物种。)”可知,作者对保护珊瑚礁的态度是支持的。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are one of the most astonishing and vital ecosystems on our planet. (珊瑚礁是地球上最令人惊奇和最重要的生态系统之一。)”以及倒数第二段“However, coral reefs are currently facing numerous threats. (然而,珊瑚礁目前正面临着许多威胁。)”结合文章前半部分介绍了珊瑚礁丰富的生物多样性、重要的生态意义以及带来的经济利益,后半部分则指出珊瑚礁面临的诸多威胁,如气候变化、污染、过度捕捞等,最后呼吁人们采取行动保护珊瑚礁。从珊瑚礁的神奇之处到面临的担忧,可知,D选项“珊瑚礁:从惊奇到担心。”最符合文章标题。故选D。

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。
How to Feel Better About the Way You Look
If you feel insecure about the way you look, you aren’t alone. ___36___ They can easily contribute to feelings of insecurity. If you would like to become more confident about your body and looks, there are steps you can take to change how you think about your body.
Accept what you dislike about your body while loving it overall. ___37___ It is not realistic to expect yourself to love everything about your body at all times. Learn to accept what you do not like without focusing on it. Be able to compartmentalize (隔开) to a degree by loving your body overall, even when you know it’s imperfect.
Practice positive self-talk. If you feel bad about yourself, you may find yourself putting yourself down a lot. You may engage in negative self-talk, which means you find yourself saying things to yourself like, “I can’t believe how fat you are” throughout the day.

【答案】36. E 37. C 38. F 39. G 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何减少对自身外貌的不满。
【36题详解】
根据上文“If you feel insecure about the way you look, you aren’t alone.(如果你对自己的外表感到不安,你并不孤单)”可知,很多人对自己的外表感到不安。下文“They can easily contribute to feelings of insecurity.(它们很容易导致不安全感)”指出了有些事情导致这种不安。由此可知,E. People read a huge number of messages about beauty standards every year.(人们每年都会阅读大量关于美丽标准的信息)符合语境,空后they指代beauty standards。故选E项。
【37题详解】
根据下文“It is not realistic to expect yourself to love everything about your body at all times. Learn to accept what you do not like without focusing on it.(期望自己在任何时候都爱自己身体的一切是不现实的。学会接受你不喜欢的东西,不要过于关注它)”可知,时时刻刻爱自己身体的一切是不现实的,言外之意就是,人们对于自己的身体,总是有不喜欢的部分。由此可知,C. People have things about their bodies they dislike.(人们对于自己的身体,总是有不喜欢的地方)符合语境。故选C项。
【38题详解】
根据本段首句即主旨句“Practice positive self-talk.(练习积极的自我对话)”及空前“Try to replace negative self talk with positive self talk.(试着用积极的自我对话取代消极的自我对话)”可知,本段落建议要用积极的自我对话取代消极的自我对话,自己肯定自己,赞美自己。由此可知,F. You may feel unnatural at first, but it raises your sense of self worth in the long run.(一开始你可能会觉得不自然,但从长远来看,这会提高你的自我价值感)符合语境,介绍了对自己积极对话的好处。故选F项。
【39题详解】
该题为段中句,根据上文“Provide your body with nourishment (营养). Many people with low self-esteem (自尊) try dieting or healthy eating as a means to change their bodies.(为你的身体提供营养。许多低自尊的人试图通过节食或健康饮食来改变他们的身体)”及下文“Think of healthy eating as a way of nourishing your body instead of a way of forcing your body to change.(把健康饮食看作是滋养身体的一种方式,而不是强迫身体改变的一种方式)”可知,该段落主要讲要给身体足够的营养,健康饮食是给身体提供营养的方式,而不是强迫你改变你的身体。言外之意,健康饮食这一行为本身是好的,但是背后的动机或态度也要是好的。由此可知,G. Eating right can help you feel better about yourself, but do so with the right attitude.(正确的饮食可以让你感觉更好,但要有正确的态度)符合语境。故选G项。
【40题详解】
空处为主旨句,应该概括整段内容。根据下文“If you’re feeling poorly about yourself, support is important. Seek out friends and family members who are positive. Try to spend time with people who feel good about their bodies and are generally positive.(如果你对自己感觉不好,支持是很重要的。寻找积极的朋友和家人。试着花时间和那些对自己的身体感觉良好的人在一起,通常是积极的)”可知,本段主要建议寻求身边人支持。由此可知,B. Surround yourself with supportive people.(和支持你的人在一起)符合语境,supportive people很好地概括了这一点。故选B项。

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
