With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.
Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London
Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.
Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich
Sitting on the edge of the University of East Anglia’s campus, the Sainsbury Centre holds a collection of remarkable works of art spanning over 2,000 years. Inside the seminal Norman Foster building, you’ll find artworks from around the world, including some stunning pieces of European modern art by Degas, Francis Bacon, and Alberto Giacometti.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire
Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park strives to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century.
Whitworth, Manchester
After a sky-high £15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露台), all waiting to be explored.

Every morning at 6 a.m., Mr. Lin’s bamboo chair workshop awoke to the rhythm of chisels (凿子). The first strikes echoed through the misty alley of the old town, combining with the distant cries of street dealers. The scent of wet earth and fresh bamboo pieces filled the air. Passers-by paused to stare at his hands dancing across the bamboo pieces, their movements mixing delicacy and confidence.
One day, I spotted him hunched over a partially woven chair frame, murmuring an opera melody from his younger days. Sunlight pierced through the dust, highlighting the sweat on his forehead as he carefully cut a tough piece with great accuracy. “Bamboo remembers,” he said, tapping its smooth surface with a rough finger. “Cut too fast, it splits; too slow, it laughs at your hesitation.” His tools — worn smooth by forty winters — moved with the certainty of tides, their edges polished by years of patience and practice.
By noon, tourists crowded his display window, taking photos of chairs labeled “Handcrafted: 58 hours.” A college student laughed, “Why not use machines?” Mr. Lin smiled and took a factory-made chair from the corner. “Sit,” he invited. The student shifted uncomfortably on its uneven legs. “Machines don’t feel the bamboo’s song,” Mr. Lin explained, running fingers along his own creation’s perfect curves.
At dusk, he brushed the final layer of tung (梧桐) oil onto the bamboo, and the pale bamboo was transformed into golden shine. His wife brought tea, whispering, “The landlord’s raising rent again.” He gazed at his workshop’s shabby walls, then at the newly made chair. “We’ll manage,” he uttered.
As night fell, electric saws roared from distant furniture factories. But there, under a single bulb, Mr. Lin’s chisel continued its ancient conversation — bit by bit, bending time into something that lasted.
24. What kind of place does Paragraph One describe?
A. A lonely workshop ignored by visitors.
B. A large town renowned for bamboo production.
C. An old street marked by craft rhythms.
D. An energetic marketplace filled with dealers.
25. Which of the following words can best describe Mr. Lin?
A. patient and modest. B. dedicated and skillful.
C. innovative and humorous. D. capable and righteous.
26. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. The rising rent forced him to raise chair prices.
B. Craft skills preservation mattered a lot to Mr. Lin.
C. His wife disapproved of his dedication to bamboo craft.
D. Mr. Lin would close his workshop due to financial pressure.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Song of the Chair Maker. B. The Daily Life of a Factory Worker.
C. The Future of Bamboo Furniture. D. The Struggles of a Traditional Business.
C
You’ve probably heard people say that everything happens for a reason. It’s a theory that we’ve all heard more than once. And in many ways, burnt toast theory can be seen as a modern take on this classic idea, implying that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason. That is, the little problem actually stops something worse from happening or leads you to something better later on.
We’ve all been there. Say you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work. According to burnt toast theory this single, tiny inconvenience is enough to have a domino effect (多米诺效应). Your morning is then pushed back, maybe three to five minutes. Perhaps that is enough time to leave the house a little bit later than usual, and to avoid getting in a car accident. Or it might mean you end up getting a later train, and avoid bumping into someone who you’d really rather avoid.
In other words, the burnt toast theory is a reminder to shift your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can help to reduce feelings of anxiety, and release our fear of being out of control of the world around us. It prevents us from thinking over something that isn’t really all that bad in the grand perspective of things and encourages us to make meaning of challenges we may experience, thus making us more adaptive to the future setbacks. The next time you feel yourself becoming annoyed or frustrated by an inconvenience in your life, try reshaping your thoughts by telling yourself why you’re grateful for the inconvenience.
Although keeping a positive attitude can be very beneficial, burnt toast theory is not without its drawbacks. Be mindful that only allowing yourself to focus on positive thoughts can mean that you are denying yourself the chance to properly engage with challenging or difficult emotions, instead focusing on creating a false positive profile.
28. What may be a case of the burnt toast theory?
A. Losing a job after forgetting to set an alarm.
B. Landing a promising job after missing a bus.
C. Attaining rewards following the investment of effort.
D. Mending friendship after clearing misunderstandings.
29. According to paragraph 3, what are the outcome of applying the burnt toast theory?
A. Better judgement on fears. B. Richer experience from failures.
C. The harvest of a positive mindset. D. The removal of daily inconveniences.
30. Which aspect of the theory does the last paragraph focus on?
A. Potential defect. B. Real-world applications.
C. Would-be projects. D. Practical advantages.
31. What can we learn from the burnt toast theory?
A. Look before you leap. B. Better late than never.
C. Once bitten, twice shy. D. Make a lemon lemonade.
D
As a PH.D student, Philip Sontag collected a bag of penguin feathers during his first visit to Antarctica. A decade later, Sontag and his team have discovered how to use these feathers to map mercury pollution in the Southern Hemisphere (南半球), a growing threat to wildlife.
Mercury a poisonous chemical by-product of gold mining, accumulates increasingly in the food chain and impacts the nervous systems of animals. While sampling rocks or soil for mercury provides limited insight, tracking its presence in the food web is crucial for ecosystem monitoring.
Penguins have a way to dispose of mercury through their feathers, which they molt (换羽) regularly. Sontag, now a polar researcher at Rutgers University, and his team analyzed these molted feathers to determine where penguins were exposed to mercury. They found a clear relationship between mercury levels and carbon-13, which varies geographically and acts as a marker for where penguins feed or breed (繁殖). The study confirmed this pattern. across seven penguin species in the Southern Ocean, revealing higher mercury exposure in northern, warmer regions with higher carbon-13 levels.
The findings suggest that penguins could serve as bioindicators, living trackers of environmental pollutants. By measuring mercury in feathers, scientists can track the metal’s movement through the oceanic food web over time, rather than just at a single moment. For example, penguin species living near each other showed different mercury and carbon-13 levels due to varying migration and feeding patterns. These data could be modeled into a map-like database to aid conservation and polar research.
Marine scientist Míria m Gimeno Castells notes that penguins are mid-level predators, and undergo dramatic molts, making it easy to collect feathers from many individuals. The molted feathers contain mercury that gets into their body during the non-breeding season.
Sontag plans to collect newer feathers from different species and compare mercury levels in penguins’ blood and their food with those in their feathers. As for the penguins’ health, senior author John Reinfelder makes it clear that they have not yet been exposed to poisonous mercury levels. “The penguins will be okay,” he says.
32. How did Sontag use the penguin feathers he collected?
A. He analysed the content of a chemical in them.
B. He observed their changes in different environments.
C. He preserved them to serve as a reminder of his journey.
D. He classified them to identify different species of penguins.
33. What does the underlined part “dispose of” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Assess. B. Remove. C. Consume. D. Sustain.
34. What do we know about penguins from the text?
A. They are ideal bioindicators.
B. They are sensitive to carbon-13.
C. They are top-level predators in the food chain.
D. They are free from the effects of human activities.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Gold Mining and Its Effects on Penguins
B. The Impact of Climate Change on Penguin Populations
C. Penguins Help Map Antarctica’s Growing Mercury Threat
D. How Penguins in Antarctica Go Through Their Life Cycles

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“Beauty is only skin deep” it is said. This means that a person’s appearance is not as important as their character. Yet it is strange why people and especially women are willing to spend a fortune on making themselves more attractive physically. This willingness to spend on beauty has turned the skincare industry into a multi-billion dollar business. Why? ____36____Attractive people are more popular generally. Beauty draws a positive response from the people around. This is obvious with children. For example, based on observation, there is a tendency for adults to treat good-looking children better. This favorable treatment continues into adulthood, as attractive people are more likely to be chosen for leadership positions and given more opportunities.____37____
Another important benefit that good-looking people enjoy is that they find a husband or wife more easily. ____38____ This initial attraction may then develop into romantic feelings and a serious relationship if the couple find that they are in harmony with each other.
____39____ Firstly, a good-looking person tends to attract unwanted attention from all kinds of people. The admirer may have bad intentions and cause problems for the target. Another problem faced by good-looking people is that they may not be taken seriously. It is thought that beauty and brains do not go together. Thus, attractive people may not gain respect even when they deserve it because of this prejudice against them.
While every individual should take care of their outward appearance and look their best, they should not neglect (忽视) their inner beauty or character. ____40____ Also, they should not forget physical beauty is indeed, only skin deep and will not last.
A. Life is always easy for beautiful people.
B. The reason can only be that beauty has its advantages.
C. It turns out that inner beauty is of vital significance to us.
D. Nonetheless, beauty has a number of disadvantages as well.
E. It is a fact that people are first attracted to outward appearance.
F. They should not place such importance on beauty that they become proud.
G. Being well-treated gives attractive people more confidence and they perform better.

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。
After my grandmother passed away, I inherited her small greenhouse hidden in the corner of the garden. Stepping inside for the first time, I was greeted by a symphony of colors and scents—a haven I’d always admired but never truly understood. Among the rows of colorful blooms, a small, wilted (枯萎的) plant caught my eye. According to the tag, it was a Lady’s Slipper orchid (杓兰), an endangered species my grandmother had been nurturing for years. Alongside the orchid, inside a cardboard box was a little sparrow (麻雀) with a hurt wing, which my grandmother had apparently taken in.
Determined to fulfill her mission, I began the journey of nurturing both the orchid and the injured bird. Caring for the orchid was challenging. It required precise humidity(湿度) levels, gentle sunlight and a special mixture of soil that mimicked its natural forest habitat. Every day, I painstakingly watered its wilted leaves, applying some organic fertilizers and worrying about every new flower bud (花苞) wouldn’t survive.
The fragile little sparrow, too, required devoted attention. Every morning, I carefully prepared a mixture of crushed worms and seeds. Then, with utmost gentleness, I used a soft cloth with warm water to carefully clean its injured wing. To help it heal, I painstakingly crafted a basic support from sticks and soft cloth to stabilize its broken wing.
My eagerness to help led to the excessive watering, the forced feedings and the endless adjustments, disrupting the rhythm of nature. There were countless setbacks. The orchid’s leaves began to yellow, dropping its head lifelessly and the sparrow refused to eat for days, curling up weakly with dull eyes. I was consumed by doubt. Perhaps I was ill-equipped to handle such delicate lives. Just when I felt on the edge of giving up, I remembered the notes my grandmother had left behind. In her beautiful handwriting, she’d written, “Nature moves at its own unhurried pace, and yet every goal is gently accomplished.”
Para 1: These words became my guiding light.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: Weeks later, the buds burst into bloom and the sparrow could fly again.

【原文】W: Americans are showing more interest in owning unusually small cows, goats, donkeys, and other small farm animals. People who farm for fun are known as hobby farmers. They are looking for easy-to-raise farm animals. Some owners of mini-farm animals even turn their hobbies into money-making activities. They show the animals to visitors, breed them, and write about their farming experiences. Brian Gazda has a small farm in the western state of Idaho. However, he said that newcomers to these activities need to weigh the pros and cons, or the good and bad effects, of hobby farming. Brittany Snow is a high school English teacher in Florida. She owns several small-sized goats. She expected them to produce milk right away, but she learned that was difficult. Nowadays, many people who buy mini goats end up selling them after a few years. Why does this happen? Angelia Alden, a business operations manager for an association in North Carolina, explained some of the reasons.

Every morning at 6 a.m., Mr. Lin’s bamboo chair workshop awoke to the rhythm of chisels (凿子). The first strikes echoed through the misty alley of the old town, combining with the distant cries of street dealers. The scent of wet earth and fresh bamboo pieces filled the air. Passers-by paused to stare at his hands dancing across the bamboo pieces, their movements mixing delicacy and confidence.
One day, I spotted him hunched over a partially woven chair frame, murmuring an opera melody from his younger days. Sunlight pierced through the dust, highlighting the sweat on his forehead as he carefully cut a tough piece with great accuracy. “Bamboo remembers,” he said, tapping its smooth surface with a rough finger. “Cut too fast, it splits; too slow, it laughs at your hesitation.” His tools — worn smooth by forty winters — moved with the certainty of tides, their edges polished by years of patience and practice.
By noon, tourists crowded his display window, taking photos of chairs labeled “Handcrafted: 58 hours.” A college student laughed, “Why not use machines?” Mr. Lin smiled and took a factory-made chair from the corner. “Sit,” he invited. The student shifted uncomfortably on its uneven legs. “Machines don’t feel the bamboo’s song,” Mr. Lin explained, running fingers along his own creation’s perfect curves.
At dusk, he brushed the final layer of tung (梧桐) oil onto the bamboo, and the pale bamboo was transformed into golden shine. His wife brought tea, whispering, “The landlord’s raising rent again.” He gazed at his workshop’s shabby walls, then at the newly made chair. “We’ll manage,” he uttered.
As night fell, electric saws roared from distant furniture factories. But there, under a single bulb, Mr. Lin’s chisel continued its ancient conversation — bit by bit, bending time into something that lasted.
24. What kind of place does Paragraph One describe?
A. A lonely workshop ignored by visitors.
B. A large town renowned for bamboo production.
C. An old street marked by craft rhythms.
D. An energetic marketplace filled with dealers.
25. Which of the following words can best describe Mr. Lin?

You’ve probably heard people say that everything happens for a reason. It’s a theory that we’ve all heard more than once. And in many ways, burnt toast theory can be seen as a modern take on this classic idea, implying that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason. That is, the little problem actually stops something worse from happening or leads you to something better later on.
We’ve all been there. Say you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work. According to burnt toast theory, this single, tiny inconvenience is enough to have a domino effect (多米诺效应). Your morning is then pushed back, maybe three to five minutes. Perhaps that is enough time to leave the house a little bit later than usual, and to avoid getting in a car accident. Or it might mean you end up getting a later train, and avoid bumping into someone who you’d really rather avoid.
In other words, the burnt toast theory is a reminder to shift your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can help to reduce feelings of anxiety, and release our fear of being out of control of the world around us. It prevents us from thinking over something that isn’t really all that bad in the grand perspective of things and encourages us to make meaning of challenges we may experience, thus making us more adaptive to the future setbacks. The next time you feel yourself becoming annoyed or frustrated by an inconvenience in your life, try reshaping your thoughts by telling yourself why you’re grateful for the inconvenience.
Although keeping a positive attitude can be very beneficial, burnt toast theory is not without its drawbacks. Be mindful that only allowing yourself to focus on positive thoughts can mean that you are denying yourself the chance to properly engage with challenging or difficult emotions, instead focusing on creating a false positive profile.
28. What may be a case of the burnt toast theory?
A. Losing a job after forgetting to set an alarm.
B. Landing a promising job after missing a bus.
C Attaining rewards following the investment of effort.
D. Mending friendship after clearing misunderstandings.
29. According to paragraph 3, what are the outcome of applying the burnt toast theory?
A. Better judgement on fears. B. Richer experience from failures.
C. The harvest of a positive mindset. D. The removal of daily inconveniences.
30. Which aspect of the theory does the last paragraph focus on?
A. Potential defect. B. Real-world applications.
C. Would-be projects. D. Practical advantages.
31. What can we learn from the burnt toast theory?
A Look before you leap. B. Better late than never.
C. Once bitten, twice shy. D. Make a lemon lemonade.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是“烧焦的面包理论”,即通过积极视角看待生活中的不便,将其视为有意义的转折点,同时也探讨了该理论的潜在局限性。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“And in many ways, burnt toast theory can be seen as a modern take on this classic idea, implying that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason.(而且在许多方面,烧焦面包理论可以被视为这一经典思想的现代诠释,暗示着我们在日常生活中经历的每一个小不便都出于更大的原因)”可知,烧焦面包理论暗示着我们在日常生活中经历的每一个小不便都出于更大的原因,结合第二段中的“Perhaps that is enough time to leave the house a little bit later than usual, and to avoid getting in a car accident. Or it might mean you end up getting a later train, and avoid bumping into someone who you’d really rather avoid.(也许这足够让你比平时晚一点出门,从而避免了一场车祸。或者这意味着你赶上了稍晚的火车,避开了一个你宁愿避开的人)”可知,错过巴士后却得到一份有前途的工作是符合该理论的案例。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In other words, the burnt toast theory is a reminder to shift your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can help to reduce feelings of anxiety, and release our fear of being out of control of the world around us.(换句话说,烧焦面包理论提醒我们要转变思维方式。当我们选择以更积极的态度看待世界时,我们可以帮助减轻焦虑感,并释放对周围世界失控的恐惧)”可知,烧焦面包理论提醒我们要转变思维方式,用更积极的态度看世界。由此可知,应用该理论的结果是收获积极心态。故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Although keeping a positive attitude can be very beneficial, burnt toast theory is not without its drawbacks. Be mindful that only allowing yourself to focus on positive thoughts can mean that you are denying yourself the chance to properly engage with challenging or difficult emotions, instead focusing on creating a false positive profile.(虽然保持积极的心态可以走得很远,但烧焦面包理论并非没有缺点。要注意,只允许自己专注于积极的想法可能意味着你正在剥夺自己正确面对挑战或困难情绪的机会,而是专注于创造一个虚假的积极形象)”可知,烧焦面包理论并非没有缺点,进而分析了其危害,由此可知,最后一段聚焦于该理论的潜在弱点。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。结合全文内容,尤其是首段“You’ve probably heard people say that everything happens for a reason. It’s a theory that we’ve all heard more than once. And in many ways, burnt toast theory can be seen as a modern take on this classic idea, implying that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason.(如果每件事的发生都有其原因呢?这是一个我们都不止一次听过的理论。在许多方面,“烧焦面包理论”可以被视为这一经典思想的现代诠释,暗示我们在日常生活中遇到的每一个小麻烦都可能是出于某种更大的原因)”可知,全文围绕“烧焦的面包理论”展开,强调通过积极视角看待生活中的不便,将挑战转化为机遇,同时指出其潜在的局限性。选项D“化挫折为机遇”与这一主题意义相符。故选D项。
D
As a PH.D student, Philip Sontag collected a bag of penguin feathers during his first visit to Antarctica. A decade later, Sontag and his team have discovered how to use these feathers to map mercury pollution in the Southern Hemisphere (南半球), a growing threat to wildlife.
Mercury, a poisonous chemical by-product of gold mining, accumulates increasingly in the food chain and impacts the nervous systems of animals. While sampling rocks or soil for mercury provides limited insight, tracking its presence in the food web is crucial for ecosystem monitoring.
Penguins have a way to dispose of mercury through their feathers, which they molt (换羽) regularly. Sontag, now a polar researcher at Rutgers University, and his team analyzed these molted feathers to determine where penguins were exposed to mercury. They found a clear relationship between mercury levels and carbon-13, which varies geographically and acts as a marker for where penguins feed or breed (繁殖). The study confirmed this pattern. across seven penguin species in the Southern Ocean, revealing higher mercury exposure in northern, warmer regions with higher carbon-13 levels.
The findings suggest that penguins could serve as bioindicators, living trackers of environmental pollutants. By measuring mercury in feathers, scientists can track the metal’s movement through the oceanic food web over time, rather than just at a single moment. For example, penguin species living near each other showed different mercury and carbon-13 levels due to varying migration and feeding patterns. These data could be modeled into a map-like database to aid conservation and polar research.
Marine scientist Míria m Gimeno Castells notes that penguins are mid-level predators, and undergo dramatic molts, making it easy to collect feathers from many individuals. The molted feathers contain mercury that gets into their body during the non-breeding season.
Sontag plans to collect newer feathers from different species and compare mercury levels in penguins’ blood and their food with those in their feathers. As for the penguins’ health, senior author John Reinfelder makes it clear that they have not yet been exposed to poisonous mercury levels. “The penguins will be okay,” he says.
32. How did Sontag use the penguin feathers he collected?
A. He analysed the content of a chemical in them.
B. He observed their changes in different environments.
C. He preserved them to serve as a reminder of his journey.
D. He classified them to identify different species of penguins.
33. What does the underlined part “dispose of” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Assess. B. Remove. C. Consume. D. Sustain.
34. What do we know about penguins from the text?
A. They are ideal bioindicators.
B. They are sensitive to carbon-13.
C. They are top-level predators in the food chain.
D. They are free from the effects of human activities.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Gold Mining and Its Effects on Penguins
B. The Impact of Climate Change on Penguin Populations
C. Penguins Help Map Antarctica’s Growing Mercury Threat
D. How Penguins in Antarctica Go Through Their Life Cycles
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. C

“Beauty is only skin deep” it is said. This means that a person’s appearance is not as important as their character. Yet it is strange why people and especially women are willing to spend a fortune on making themselves more attractive physically. This willingness to spend on beauty has turned the skincare industry into a multi-billion dollar business. Why? ____36____Attractive people are more popular generally. Beauty draws a positive response from the people around. This is obvious with children. For example, based on observation, there is a tendency for adults to treat good-looking children better. This favorable treatment continues into adulthood, as attractive people are more likely to be chosen for leadership positions and given more opportunities.____37____
Another important benefit that good-looking people enjoy is that they find a husband or wife more easily. ____38____ This initial attraction may then develop into romantic feelings and a serious relationship if the couple find that they are in harmony with each other.
____39____ Firstly, a good-looking person tends to attract unwanted attention from all kinds of people. The admirer may have bad intentions and cause problems for the target. Another problem faced by good-looking people is that they may not be taken seriously. It is thought that beauty and brains do not go together. Thus, attractive people may not gain respect even when they deserve it because of this prejudice against them.
While every individual should take care of their outward appearance and look their best, they should not neglect (忽视) their inner beauty or character. ____40____ Also, they should not forget physical beauty is indeed, only skin deep and will not last.
A. Life is always easy for beautiful people.
B. The reason can only be that beauty has its advantages.
C. It turns out that inner beauty is of vital significance to us.
D. Nonetheless, beauty has a number of disadvantages as well.
E. It is a fact that people are first attracted to outward appearance.
F. They should not place such importance on beauty that they become proud.
G. Being well-treated gives attractive people more confidence and they perform better.

根据上文“Yet it is strange why people and especially women are willing to spend a fortune on making themselves more attractive physically. This willingness to spend on beauty has turned the skincare industry into a multi-billion dollar business. Why? (然而,奇怪的是,为什么人们,尤其是女性愿意花大价钱让自己看起来更有吸引力。这种在美容上的消费意愿已将护肤品行业打造成了一个价值数十亿美元的产业。为什么?)”可知,此处询问了为什么人们尤其是女性愿意花巨资在让自己外表更有吸引力上,以及美容行业因此成为了一个数十亿美元的产业的原因。B选项“The reason can only be that beauty has its advantages.(原因只能是美丽有它的优势。)”直接回答了这个问题,指出人们愿意投资美容的原因是因为美丽具有某些优势。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Attractive people are more popular generally. Beauty draws a positive response from the people around. This is obvious with children. For example, based on observation, there is a tendency for adults to treat good-looking children better. This favorable treatment continues into adulthood, as attractive people are more likely to be chosen for leadership positions and given more opportunities.(长相好看的人通常更受欢迎。美丽能从周围的人那里得到积极的回应。这对孩子来说是显而易见的。例如,根据观察,成年人倾向于更好地对待长得好看的孩子。这种优待一直持续到成年,因为长得好看的人更有可能被选为领导职位,并获得更多的机会。)”可知 ,此处指出了有吸引力的人在社会中受到的优待,即有吸引力带来的好处。G选项“Being well-treated gives attractive people more confidence and they perform better. (受到优待让有吸引力的人更有自信,他们表现得更好。)”进一步解释了这种优待对有吸引力的人产生的积极影响,即增强他们的自信心并提升他们的表现,G项中“Being well-treated”呼应上文“favorable treatment”。因此,G选项与上文内容紧密相关。故选G。
【38题详解】
下文“This initial attraction may then develop into romantic feelings and a serious relationship if the couple find that they are in harmony with each other. (如果夫妻发现彼此和谐,这种初步的吸引力可能会发展成浪漫的感情和严肃的关系。)”提到了“初步的吸引力”,暗示了人们在寻找伴侣时首先会被外表所吸引。E选项“It is a fact that people are first attracted to outward appearance. (人们首先被外表所吸引,这是一个事实。)”直接陈述了这一观点,与下文内容相呼应。故选E。
【39题详解】
下文“Firstly, a good-looking person tends to attract unwanted attention from all kinds of people. The admirer may have bad intentions and cause problems for the target. Another problem faced by good-looking people is that they may not be taken seriously. It is thought that beauty and brains do not go together. Thus, attractive people may not gain respect even when they deserve it because of this prejudice against them. (首先,一个好看的人往往会吸引来自各种人的不必要的注意。仰慕者可能有恶意,并给目标人物带来麻烦。长相好看的人面临的另一个问题是,他们可能不被认真对待。人们认为美貌和智慧不能兼得。因此,由于这种偏见,有吸引力的人即使应该得到尊重也可能得不到。)”列举了美丽可能带来的问题。D选项“Nonetheless, beauty has a number of disadvantages as well. (然而,美丽也有许多缺点。)”作为段落开头,直接指出了美丽并非只有优点,也有其缺点,为下文列举的问题做了铺垫。故选D。
【40题详解】
上文“While every individual should take care of their outward appearance and look their best, they should not neglect (忽视) their inner beauty or character.(虽然每个人都应该照顾好自己的外表,展现出最好的自己,但他们也不应该忽视自己的内在美或性格。)”强调了人们在关注外表的同时,也不应忽视内在美。F选项“They should not place such importance on beauty that they become proud. (他们不应该如此重视美丽以至于变得骄傲。)”进一步强调了人们在对待美丽时应保持谦逊和适度的态度,不应因外表而骄傲自大,与上文内容相呼应。故选F。

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。
After my grandmother passed away, I inherited her small greenhouse hidden in the corner of the garden. Stepping inside for the first time, I was greeted by a symphony of colors and scents—a haven I’d always admired but never truly understood. Among the rows of colorful blooms, a small, wilted (枯萎的) plant caught my eye. According to the tag, it was a Lady’s Slipper orchid (杓兰), an endangered species my grandmother had been nurturing for years. Alongside the orchid, inside a cardboard box was a little sparrow (麻雀) with a hurt wing, which my grandmother had apparently taken in.
Determined to fulfill her mission, I began the journey of nurturing both the orchid and the injured bird. Caring for the orchid was challenging. It required precise humidity(湿度) levels, gentle sunlight and a special mixture of soil that mimicked its natural forest habitat. Every day, I painstakingly watered its wilted leaves, applying some organic fertilizers and worrying about every new flower bud (花苞) wouldn’t survive.
The fragile little sparrow, too, required devoted attention. Every morning, I carefully prepared a mixture of crushed worms and seeds. Then, with utmost gentleness, I used a soft cloth with warm water to carefully clean its injured wing. To help it heal, I painstakingly crafted a basic support from sticks and soft cloth to stabilize its broken wing.
My eagerness to help led to the excessive watering, the forced feedings and the endless adjustments, disrupting the rhythm of nature. There were countless setbacks. The orchid’s leaves began to yellow, dropping its head lifelessly and the sparrow refused to eat for days, curling up weakly with dull eyes. I was consumed by doubt. Perhaps I was ill-equipped to handle such delicate lives. Just when I felt on the edge of giving up, I remembered the notes my grandmother had left behind. In her beautiful handwriting, she’d written, “Nature moves at its own unhurried pace, and yet every goal is gently accomplished.”
Para 1: These words became my guiding light.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: Weeks later the buds burst into bloom and the sparrow could fly again.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】These words became my guiding light. Gradually, I embraced the wisdom of “unrushed accomplishment,” and learned to read nature’s subtle messages— checking soil moisture with my fingertips before watering and removing the sparrow’s splint to let its wings breathe in the sunlight. Everything progressed slowly, following nature’s pace. At the dawn of a golden morning, I stepped into the garden, greeted by a thriving scene. Dew-kissed buds grew under the drooping stem and the sparrow pecked at crushed seeds, with its wings regaining strength.
Weeks later, the buds burst into bloom and the sparrow could fly again. I knew it was time to set it free, though parting really hurt. As I opened my hands, the sparrow fluttered its wings against my palms as if bidding farewell. With a soft cry, it soared into the sky, circling once before disappearing into the trees. Back to the greenhouse, I found the orchid, bathed in sunlight, taught me patience without words. My grandmother’s words rippled through my heart, gifting me the art of waiting and the wisdom of letting life unfold at its own pace.
