Taking A Vacation Could Help You Live Longer
Thinking about skipping vacation days? Don’t. One of the longest follow-up studies in the world finds vacations can actually prolong your life.
And if you think your spin classes (动感单车课程) and clean eating will make up for 41 your dream cruise trip and save you from your jam-packed, hard driving life, think again. An improved, healthier lifestyle doesn’t 42 working too hard and not taking your holidays, University of Helsinki professor Timo Strandberg said Tuesday at the annual European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress. “ 43 can be a good way to relieve stress.”
The new findings are a part of the Helsinki Businessmen Study, research that for decades has 44 1,222 male executives born between 1919 and 1934. Each had at least one risk factor for heart disease, for example, smoking, 45 , or had high blood pressure. The research, which began in the 1960s, 46 into a longitudinal (纵向的) study and was extended through 2014, focusing in part on how mid-life risk factors can impact the 47 in old age.
For the study, the men were split into two groups. In one control group, men lived their lives as they 48 did and did not meet with the study’s investigators. Men in the other group, a(n) 49 group, were given advice on how to improve their health. These men were asked to exercise, improve their diets, reach a healthy weight or stop smoking.
At the study’s 15-year check-in, Strandberg found that if their vacations 50 , the men who improved their lifestyles had a 37 percent higher chance of death rate. What is to 51 ? Working too hard, not sleeping enough and not taking enough vacation.
While 52 , this new research won’t likely impact most Americans’ vacation habits. Most American workers don’t get that many paid days to begin with. Even if they do have the time, many workers feel they can’t 53 it. Americans have put off vacation because they feel they have too much work to do and too many family 54 .
Given that experts find that vacation can help you be more productive when you return to work, maybe it’s time to put forward the request for a few days 55 .

Yet, within this canvas of imperfections, Lily’s heart radiated a warmth that enveloped all who crossed her path in a tender embrace.
One fateful afternoon, as the sun descended in a cascade of golden hues, Lily’s path intertwined with that of Lucas, a young man whose world was veiled in eternal darkness.

In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin.
Milk is not just a staple in our diets; it also has skincare benefits. Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. However, you can’s add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy (过敏) due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin.
Olive oil, a Mediterranean staple, is not only great for cooking but also for moisturizing the skin, making the it silky and smooth. While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores.
Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals (自由基) which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion.
Papaya, thanks to its enzyme papain, can help to dissolve pore-blocking debris and slough off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution.
Strawberries are not just sweet and juicy; they can also help calm redness. The antioxidants in strawberries work to even out skin tone and improve the overall texture of the skin, making it appear more uniform and clear. However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products.
Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated. However, those with acne-prone skin should use honey-based products sparingly, as they may be too rich and potentially pore-clogging. Therefore, use honey in moderation and choose products with lighter formulas.
Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate (去屑) the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Skincare products containing citrus ingredients can help slough off dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin underneath.
Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it!

The clothes we choose to wear serve as an access to our cultural heritage, societal standing, and personal inclinations. Let us embark on a captivating journey through the myriad (迷宫) of clothing across various cultures.
In Western realms, a leisure attitude towards attire dominates daily life. Informal ensembles (全套服装) featuring jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers reign supreme, embodying a principal of comfort and ease. The blend of casual and laid-back styles in Western fashion reflects a society that values practicality and self-expression. This approach to clothing allows individuals to effortlessly stay in comfort with personal style, creating a harmonious balance between ease and individuality in their everyday wardrobes.
Conversely, traditional attire in Asian emphasizes formality and conservatism. For instance, in Japan, where the ceremonial kimonos dominate special events or festivities, featuring intricate designs and vibrant hues, a rich cultural legacy woven into the fabric. India’s sarees mirror a vibrant mosaic influenced by regional traditions and ceremonial customs. The timeless elegance of sarees draping women in a swath of fabric represents a tapestry of colors and patterns that narrate stories of female individuality hidden under the nationwide cover.
In some Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, women gracefully envelop themselves in abayas, long black robes that enshroud their forms entirely. This strict dress code, steeped in the rules of religious faith and cultural morals, conveys values of female modesty and respect for males. Traditional attire for Middle Eastern men includes garments such as thobes or dishdashas, which are long, loose-fitting robes typically worn with a head covering. These garments are not only practical for the region’s climate but also reflect the wearer’s background, social status, and personal preferences.
Across diverse African residences, clothing emerges as a canvas for expressing cultural underpinnings and heritage. The vibrant hues and intricate patterns decorating traditional garments like dashiki s or kaftans resonate with the boundless creativity and diversity inherent in African cultures. In native communities, attire transcends its utilitarian purpose, emerging as a channel to nature and spirituality.
At its essence, clothing transcends me re fabric and stitches; it embodies our cultural ethos, traditions, and identities. Delving into the diverse sartorial landscapes across cultures enables us to embrace and celebrate the tapestry of our shared global community in all its richness and diversity.
63.What account for Westerners’ leisure attitude towards dressing?
A.respect for authority and formality B.justification of staying different
C.pressure from busy daily routines D.emphasis of practicality and personality
64.How do traditional garments like kimonos and sarees reflect the cultural values of Asian countries?
A.They reflect traditionalism and hidden individuality
B.They reveal the challenge to expression of personality
C.They show the denial female charm on a social scale
D.They represent the refusal of sticking to formality
65.What’s the difference in dress code for women and men in Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia?

Section C(六选四)
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
Time, What is it?
If I were to stop you on the street and say,“ Excuse me, what time is it?” what would you do? You’d probably look at your watch and say, “ It’s a quarter to three,” or some such thing. 67 But if I were to stop you on the street and say the same words but in a different order, “ Time, what is it?” you’d probably look at me as if I were crazy. What is time? How would you define it?
For centuries, philosophers and wise men have tried to explain time. Saint Augustine once tried to answer this question. He said: “For what is time? Who is able easily and briefly to explain it? …Surely we understand well enough when we speak of it. What then is time? If nobody asks me, I know; but if I were desirous to explain it to someone — plainly I know not.” 68
Sir Isaac Newton said that time was absolute, that it occurred whether the universe was here or not. Leibnitz came along and turned Newton’s definition upside down. He said, “ Time is merely the order of events, not an entity itself.” Albert Einstein followed Leibnitz, and made the statement that “ Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it.” 69 He said the train does not arrive at the station at 7 :00 PM; the train arrives at the station at the same moment the little hand reaches seven.
70 Everything is an event. Reading this book is an event. Getting out of bed this morning is an event. Driving your car is an event. Arriving at work is an event. Your phone ringing is an event. Eating lunch is an event. I was in New York doing a time management seminar for Merrill Lynch executives, when a fellow handed me a card on which he had written his definition of time: “Time is what keeps one damned thing after another from becoming every damned thing at once.”
Ben Franklin said, “ Dost thou love life? Then do not squander (挥霍) time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.” If this is true, then controlling your life means controlling your time, and controlling your time means controlling the events in your life.
A.The astute Augustine obviously wasn’t much help on this matter.
B.The definition from the dictionary says: “Time is the occurrence of events in sequence, one after the other.”
C.He then developed an idea called “simultaneous events.”
D.Time is what is happening now and will happen in the future replace what happened in the past
E.In America we don’t usually stop people on the street and ask them philosophical questions.
F.If we waste time, how can we say we love our lives?
IV.Summary Writing(写作概要)(共20分)

e-learning: Hazy past—better future?
How much of an effect does technology have on students’ learning? A significant one, it seems, according to experts. Currently available technologies, the most important of which are computers and the Internet, apparently provide a learning environment in which problem-solving and intellectual enquiry can flourish. The process of learning in the classroom may become significantly more effective as students can deal with information on the computer. Or so the theory goes. My own viewpoint is rather different, I’m afraid.
Computers have been around for two decades as part of school equipment. There are, of course, obstacles like costs to overcome, but it’s just a matter of time and effort. This is because schools have done what every organisation does when it sees an innovation—it applies the innovation to its existing model, which adds cost but doesn’t transform the standard classroom. We have, during that period, spent over $60 billion on them, but in my view they seem to have had little or no effect on learning in schools. Content is king and the mode of delivery is irrelevant. If a teacher makes the subject matter interesting, it does not matter what, if any, equipment is used.
However, change is on the horizon. I think student-centred learning will become the norm and transform education. Computers will pave the way for far more independent learning. Students who currently don’t have access to schools or teachers are now able to get online. They can study from home thanks to the fact that more learning programmes are being written for learners who are forced by their circumstances to be self-sufficient. This would prove especially beneficial in those areas of the world where quality education is limited or extremely expensive. Therefore, in a few years’ time we could have a completely different conversation about technology and its impact on learning.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following talk.
Maggie, a biology and chemistry student at John Carroll University, never thought that one day she would be in a classroom where an English teacher asked her to play a board game in order to learn about climate change.
Debra Rosenthal is the English professor. At first, Maggie said she was uncertain about Rosenthal’s board game idea. However, Rosenthal thought her students would gain a greater understanding about how their own ideas and experiences affect climate change. After testing the games with some adults, she got permission to buy six copies of a game called Solutions. The goal is to pick cards and then add them to the game board in a way that helps reduce global temperatures. Students do not compete against each other. They work together to choose the best plan of action. The game is different from other board games where the goal is to win. Rosenthal said she hoped the games would give students a chance to talk about climate change in a new way. During most classes, students read material and then discuss their ideas. Students laughed, disagreed and had to call for votes as a way to decide how to move forward in the game. Maggie said it was a “way to have fun...while also learning about such a serious subject.”
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
11. What is the talk mainly about?
12. What did Rosenthal’s lessons feature?
13. How did Maggie’s attitude toward Rosenthal’s lessons change?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following talk.
Toymakers are developing new games and changing old ones to target a different group: people over 65 years old. Toy producers suggest the products could help older people increase their brain skills as well as reduce loneliness. However, some experts have raised doubts about their claims.
Ben Swartz, 92, lives with his 85-year-old wife in a retirement community. He ran 14 toy stores in the 1970s. He has noticed some of the new offerings from the toy industry, and he approves of the moves. He plays games five days a week with his friends. He said the games help his mind, otherwise, he would worry that his “mind would start to go a little bit slow.”
While some scientists welcome toymakers paying attention to older buyers, they also warn of these products’ limitations. Neil Charness and Walter Boot, both of Florida State University, worked together to test the idea that brain games help preserve mental abilities such as reasoning or thinking. They found that people get better in the specific skills of the game if they play over and over again. But the games do not translate to mental abilities needed for everyday living activities, like maintaining independent living. The researchers also said that there is limited evidence to date that playing games can greatly reduce loneliness.
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
14. What does Ben Swartz think of the toys for older people?
15. What did some scientists find about the toys targeting old people?
16. What is the talk mainly about?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Roger, don’t you think being out in the woods at night is pretty scary?
M: Not at all. Isn’t it great being out in nature? I love breathing the fresh air and exercising.
W: Sure ... I guess it’s not so bad. You don’t think there are bears in these woods, do you?
M: Of course there are! But don’t worry, bears are pretty shy and won’t hurt us. They only want to eat our food.
W: But what if the bears think that I am food?
M: Don’t worry, Daphne, I know wilderness first aid. And I can tell ghost stories to take your mind off the bears.
W: Ghost stories? It’s already pretty scary being out here in the dark.
M: Oh, there is nothing to be afraid of out here! You’re not scared of the dark, are you?
W: Of course I’m not afraid of the dark. What I’m afraid of are all the things that are hiding out there in the dark! I keep hearing really strange noises out in the dark! Can you hear them?
M: Calm down, Daphne! It’s just the wind! I don’t think you’re cut out for camping.
W: I know. Next time you want to do something fun, let’s do something in the city. I’ll be happy to buy you movie tickets as long as we don’t have to go camping again.
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
17. What are the two speakers talking about?
18. What is the woman worried about?
19. What does the man intend to do to help the woman forget her worry?
20. What can be learned about the man from the conversation?
That’s the end of the listening comprehension.

Hearing from successful people who had no clue at age 19 where they’d actually end up 21 (prove) reassuring to sophomore Emily Ford this weekend. Ford was among the 100second-year students who attended the kickoff for “Sophomore Spark,” a QuadEx program designed 22 (meet) the personal, professional and intellectual needs of sophomores.
The Sophomore Spark Summit, 23 pilot launch event held Saturday afternoon at the Rubenstein Arts Center, included engaging keynote speakers, conversations with alumni, and interactive sessions on managing stress and connecting with the creative, right-side of the brain.
Sophomore Spark co-chairs, Greg Victory, assistant vice president and Fannie Mitchell executive director of the career center, and Jenny Wood Crowley, assistant vice provost for intellectual community in the Office of Undergraduate Education, said sophomore year 24 be an exceptionally challenging and growth-filled time, when students wrestle with ways that purpose and value intersect (交叉) with academic and career journeys.
“We want them to see they have the skills, resources and mentors already here.” Victory said. “And to let them know they don’t have to have it all 25 (figure out) right away.”
Wood Crowley shared a one-on-one conversation with Rishab Jagetia, a sophomore who cares about environmentalism and economic justice. He asked her to help him generate more serious student engagement with those societal issues 26 the classroom so that students could break the boundaries of textbooks and lectures to explore more about potential careers.
“I explained that programs like Sophomore Spark will be an integral part of the QuadEx experience 27 it fully launches this fall,” Wood Crowley said. “Building community, highlighting resources, and providing meaningful connections between students and faculty, 28 the Spark Summit did, are essential components of the new residential living and learning model.”
Ford said she particularly enjoyed the keynote talk about “unleashing one’s superpowers” and the nonlinear career path of speaker Sanyin Siang, Pratt ‘96 MBA’02. “One of the reasons I came was to hear people’s stories,” Ford told Siang in a breakout improve session they both attended. “I’d been feeling lost. Since freshman year, I thought I wanted to do premed (医科大学预科). Now I’ve started taking 29 (much) of a variety of classes that are not STEM, I’ve been feeling so much better. Coming today was a really good decision.”
The Sophomore Spark Summit 30 (make) possible by the generous support of Stacey and Dan Levitan.

Taking A Vacation Could Help You Live Longer
Thinking about skipping vacation days? Don’t. One of the longest follow-up studies in the world finds vacations can actually prolong your life.
And if you think your spin classes (动感单车课程) and clean eating will make up for 41 your dream cruise trip and save you from your jam-packed, hard driving life, think again. An improved, healthier lifestyle doesn’t 42 working too hard and not taking your holidays, University of Helsinki professor Timo Strandberg said Tuesday at the annual European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress. “ 43 can be a good way to relieve stress.”
The new findings are a part of the Helsinki Businessmen Study, research that for decades has 44 1,222 male executives born between 1919 and 1934. Each had at least one risk factor for heart disease, for example, smoking, 45 , or had high blood pressure. The research, which began in the 1960s, 46 into a longitudinal (纵向的) study and was extended through 2014, focusing in part on how mid-life risk factors can impact the 47 in old age.
For the study, the men were split into two groups. In one control group, men lived their lives as they 48 did and did not meet with the study’s investigators. Men in the other group, a(n) 49 group, were given advice on how to improve their health. These men were asked to exercise, improve their diets, reach a healthy weight or stop smoking.
At the study’s 15-year check-in, Strandberg found that if their vacations 50 , the men who improved their lifestyles had a 37 percent higher chance of death rate. What is to 51 ? Working too hard, not sleeping enough and not taking enough vacation.
While 52 , this new research won’t likely impact most Americans’ vacation habits. Most American workers don’t get that many paid days to begin with. Even if they do have the time, many workers feel they can’t 53 it. Americans have put off vacation because they feel they have too much work to do and too many family 54 .
Given that experts find that vacation can help you be more productive when you return to work, maybe it’s time to put forward the request for a few days 55 .

(A)
Beauty that can’t be seen
In the serene town of Willowbrook resided the young maiden Lily. Her skin bore the intricate tapestry of a rare condition, a mosaic of scars and blemishes that danced across her face like a testament to the trials she had endured. Yet, within this canvas of imperfections, Lily’s heart radiated a warmth that enveloped all who crossed her path in a tender embrace.
One fateful afternoon, as the sun descended in a cascade of golden hues, Lily’s path intertwined with that of Lucas, a young man whose world was veiled in eternal darkness. Drawn by the angelic voice of Lily and the kindness that exuded from her very being, Lucas found comfort in her presence. Their friendship blossomed like a delicate flower, each moment spent together a symphony of shared laughter and unspoken understanding.
As the days bring more shared experiences, Lucas found himself fascinated by the world as perceived through Lily’s eyes. In her, he discovered a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of beauty that transcended the confines of sight, a beauty woven from threads of kindness, compassion, and unwavering attitude. Though his eyes could not behold the physical scars that adorned Lily’s form, his heart beheld the true essence of her being — a luminous spirit that lightened the darkest corners of his world. With each passing day, their bond deepened, evolving into a romance that defied the conventions of superficiality and embraced the profound connection that existed between their souls.
Lily and Lucas found a beauty that transcended the limitations of physical form, a beauty that dwelled in the uncharted depths of their souls. Their love became a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, a reminder that true beauty is not merely skin-deep but a radiant light that originates from the very core of our being, touching the hearts of all who dare to see beyond the surface.

In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin.
Milk is not just a staple in our diets; it also has skincare benefits. Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. However, you can’s add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy (过敏) due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin.
Olive oil, a Mediterranean staple, is not only great for cooking but also for moisturizing the skin, making the it silky and smooth. While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores.
Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals (自由基) which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion.
Papaya, thanks to its enzyme papain, can help to dissolve pore-blocking debris and slough off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution.
Strawberries are not just sweet and juicy; they can also help calm redness. The antioxidants in strawberries work to even out skin tone and improve the overall texture of the skin, making it appear more uniform and clear. However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products.
Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated. However, those with acne-prone skin should use honey-based products sparingly, as they may be too rich and potentially pore-clogging. Therefore, use honey in moderation and choose products with lighter formulas.
Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate (去屑) the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Skincare products containing citrus ingredients can help slough off dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin underneath.
Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it!
60.To keep skin moist, we can resort to some natural products except __________.
A.milk B.olive oil C.honey D.tangerine
61.For an berry-allergic old lady with sensitive skin condition, you’d better recommend __________ to be involved in her diet and daily skincare to help her preserve youth.
A.milk B.papaya C.grapes D.strawberries
62.The passage can probably be targeted at ____________________.
A.owners of fruit shops who wants to promote sales
B.customers in supermarket who are searching for fruits
C.women who wants to become beautiful and healthy
D.chefs who are particular about food ingredients
【答案】60.D 61.C 62.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何利用食物成分改善皮肤护理效果,包括牛奶保湿、橄榄油滋润、葡萄抗氧化、木瓜去角质、草莓舒缓红肿、蜂蜜保湿和橘子去屑,强调天然成分的优势和健康护肤的重要性。
60.细节理解题。根据表格第一行的“Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. (牛奶富含蛋白质和脂质,如果经常饮用,可以帮助皮肤保持水分,保持皮肤湿润和柔软。)”和表格第二行的“While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores.(虽然橄榄油是一种极好的保湿剂,但最好将含有橄榄油的产品用在胳膊和腿上,而不是脸上,以避免堵塞毛孔。)”和表格第六行的“Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated.(蜂蜜有助于锁住水分,缓解皮肤干燥,使皮肤柔软、水润。)”和表格第七行的“Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion.(橘子富含果酸,可以帮助皮肤去角质,促进皮肤更光滑、更有光泽。含有柑橘类成分的护肤品可以帮助去除死皮细胞,让皮肤下面呈现出一层新鲜的皮肤。)”可知, 文中提到了橘子的去角质特性,因为它含有果酸,可以使皮肤更光滑、更有光泽。然而,与牛奶、橄榄油和蜂蜜相比,橘子通常不专门用于保湿目的,而牛奶、橄榄油和蜂蜜则以其对皮肤的保湿和补水功效而闻名。因此,橘子不适合用于保持皮肤水分。故选D。
61.细节理解题。根据表格第一行的“However, you can’s add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin.(然而,你不能在自制的面膜中加入牛奶来补水,因为它可能会导致皮肤过敏,因为丰富的营养不能被皮肤吸收。) ”和表格第四行的“However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution.(然而,皮肤敏感或对木瓜过敏的人应该谨慎行事。) ”和表格第五行的“However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products.(然而,对浆果过敏的人应该避开草莓类产品。) ”可知,牛奶、木瓜和草莓对于一个对浆果过敏、皮肤敏感的老太太来说都不合适,再由表格第三行的“Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion.(葡萄不仅是一种美味的零食,也是一种温和的抗氧化剂来源,通过对抗自由基提供抗衰老保护,自由基会对皮肤造成损害。在你的饮食或护肤中加入葡萄可以帮助你拥有更年轻的肤色。) ”可知,葡萄可以添加到她的饮食和日常护肤中,帮助她保持年轻。故选C。
62.推理判断题。根据第一段的“In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin.(为了获得容光焕发和年轻的皮肤,许多人转向化妆品和治疗。然而,大自然为我们提供了大量的成分,可以为我们的皮肤创造奇迹,而不需要刺激性的化学物质或侵入性的程序。在日常护肤中加入食物成分是一种既美味又有效的滋养和呵护皮肤的方法。)”和最后一段的“Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it!(将这些食物成分加入你的护肤程序中可以为你的皮肤提供许多好处,从补水和去角质到抗氧化保护和抗衰老。利用大自然的恩赐,你可以获得健康、容光焕发的皮肤,而不需要刺激性的化学物质或侵入性的治疗。所以下次你在厨房的时候,考虑使用这些天然成分,从内到外滋养和呵护你的皮肤。你的皮肤会感谢你的!)”可知,从牛奶、橄榄油、葡萄、木瓜、草莓、蜂蜜和橘子等食品中提取的天然护肤成分对皮肤补水、抗衰老、去角质和整体皮肤健康的好处,目标受众可能对自然的方法感兴趣,而不是诉诸刺激性化学物质或侵入性治疗,因此这篇文章针对的是那些想要变得美丽和健康的女性。故选C。

The blend of casual and laid-back styles in Western fashion reflects a society that values practicality and self-expression. This approach to clothing allows individuals to effortlessly stay in comfort with personal style, creating a harmonious balance between ease and individuality in their everyday wardrobes.
Conversely, traditional attire in Asian emphasizes formality and conservatism. For instance, in Japan, where the ceremonial kimonos dominate special events or festivities, featuring intricate designs and vibrant hues, a rich cultural legacy woven into the fabric. India’s sarees mirror a vibrant mosaic influenced by regional traditions and ceremonial customs. The timeless elegance of sarees draping women in a swath of fabric represents a tapestry of colors and patterns that narrate stories of female individuality hidden under the nationwide cover.
In some Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, women gracefully envelop themselves in abayas, long black robes that enshroud their forms entirely. This strict dress code, steeped in the rules of religious faith and cultural morals, conveys values of female modesty and respect for males. Traditional attire for Middle Eastern men includes garments such as thobes or dishdashas, which are long, loose-fitting robes typically worn with a head covering. These garments are not only practical for the region’s climate but also reflect the wearer’s background, social status, and personal preferences.
Across diverse African residences, clothing emerges as a canvas for expressing cultural underpinnings and heritage. The vibrant hues and intricate patterns decorating traditional garments like dashiki s or kaftans resonate with the boundless creativity and diversity inherent in African cultures. In native communities, attire transcends its utilitarian purpose, emerging as a channel to nature and spirituality.
At its essence, clothing transcends me re fabric and stitches; it embodies our cultural ethos, traditions, and identities. Delving into the diverse sartorial landscapes across cultures enables us to embrace and celebrate the tapestry of our shared global community in all its richness and diversity.

A. B. C. D.
【答案】63.D 64.A 65.C 66.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同国家的传统服饰以及其背后所蕴含的文化价值。
63.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The blend of casual and laid-back styles in Western fashion reflects a society that values practicality and self-expression.(西方时尚中休闲与随意风格的融合,反映了一个重视实用性和自我表达的社会)”可知,西方人对穿着的休闲态度是因为强调实用性和个性。故选D。
64.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Conversely, traditional attire in Asian emphasizes formality and conservatism...The timeless elegance of sarees draping women in a swath of fabric represents a tapestry of colors and patterns that narrate stories of female individuality hidden under the nationwide cover(相反,亚洲的传统服饰强调正式和保守。……纱丽将女性裹在一大片织物上,这种永恒的优雅代表了一幅色彩和图案的挂毯,讲述了隐藏在全国范围内的女性个性故事。)”可知,像和服和莎丽这样的传统服装反映了亚洲国家的传统主义和隐藏的个性。故选A。
65.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In some Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, women gracefully envelop themselves in abayas, long black robes that enshroud their forms entirely. This strict dress code, steeped in the rules of religious faith and cultural morals, conveys values of female modesty and respect for males. Traditional attire for Middle Eastern men includes garments such as thobes or dishdashas, which are long, loose-fitting robes typically worn with a head covering. These garments are not only practical for the region’s climate but also reflect the wearer’s background, social status, and personal preferences(在一些中东国家,如沙特阿拉伯,女性优雅地身着长袍,这种黑色的长袍完全包裹着她们的身体。这种严格的着装规定深受宗教信仰和文化道德的影响,传达了女性的谦逊和对男性的尊重。中东男性的传统服饰包括长袍或迪什达沙,这是一种长而宽松的袍子,通常搭配头巾。这些服装不仅适合该地区的气候,还反映了穿着者的背景、社会地位和个人喜好)”可知,在沙特阿拉伯等中东国家,女性和男性的着装规范的不同之处在于:女性为了表示谦卑而遮盖自己,而男性则是为了显示地位。故选C。
66.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Across diverse African residences, clothing emerges as a canvas for expressing cultural underpinnings and heritage. The vibrant hues and intricate patterns decorating traditional garments like dashiki s or kaftans resonate with the boundless creativity and diversity inherent in African cultures(在非洲各地的住宅中,服装成为表达文化基础和遗产的画布。装饰传统服装如达西基裙或长袍的鲜艳色彩和复杂图案,与非洲文化中固有的无限创造力和多样性产生共鸣)”可知,非洲的传统服饰色彩鲜艳,图案复杂,因此选项B最能代表典型的非洲服饰。故选B。
Section C(六选四)
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
Time, What is it?
If I were to stop you on the street and say,“ Excuse me, what time is it?” what would you do? You’d probably look at your watch and say, “ It’s a quarter to three,” or some such thing. 67 But if I were to stop you on the street and say the same words but in a different order, “ Time, what is it?” you’d probably look at me as if I were crazy. What is time? How would you define it?
For centuries, philosophers and wise men have tried to explain time. Saint Augustine once tried to answer this question. He said: “For what is time? Who is able easily and briefly to explain it? …Surely we understand well enough when we speak of it. What then is time? If nobody asks me, I know; but if I were desirous to explain it to someone — plainly I know not.” 68
Sir Isaac Newton said that time was absolute, that it occurred whether the universe was here or not. Leibnitz came along and turned Newton’s definition upside down. He said, “ Time is merely the order of events, not an entity itself.” Albert Einstein followed Leibnitz, and made the statement that “ Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it.” 69 He said the train does not arrive at the station at 7 :00 PM; the train arrives at the station at the same moment the little hand reaches seven.
70 Everything is an event. Reading this book is an event. Getting out of bed this morning is an event. Driving your car is an event. Arriving at work is an event. Your phone ringing is an event. Eating lunch is an event. I was in New York doing a time management seminar for Merrill Lynch executives, when a fellow handed me a card on which he had written his definition of time: “Time is what keeps one damned thing after another from becoming every damned thing at once.”
Ben Franklin said, “ Dost thou love life? Then do not squander (挥霍) time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.” If this is true, then controlling your life means controlling your time, and controlling your time means controlling the events in your life.
A.The astute Augustine obviously wasn’t much help on this matter.
B.The definition from the dictionary says: “Time is the occurrence of events in sequence, one after the other.”
C.He then developed an idea called “simultaneous events.”
D.Time is what is happening now and will happen in the future replace what happened in the past
E.In America we don’t usually stop people on the street and ask them philosophical questions.
F.If we waste time, how can we say we love our lives?
【答案】67.E 68.A 69.D 70.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了时间的定义以及我们该如何控制时间。
67.根据上文“If I were to stop you on the street and say,“ Excuse me, what time is it? ””(如果我在街上拦住你说:“对不起,现在几点了?”“你会怎么做?”)引出话题,提到在街上拦住你问你时间。以及下文“But if I were to stop you on the street and say the same words but in a different order, “ Time, what is it? ””(但是如果我在街上拦住你,用不同的顺序说同样的话:“时间,它是什么?”)转折提到在街上拦住你的另外一种情况。结合选项E项In America we don’t usually stop people on the street and ask them philosophical questions.(在美国,我们通常不会在街上拦住人,问他们一些哲学问题。)可知,起到上下文的承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯。故选E项。
68.根据上文“Saint Augustine once tried to answer this question. He said: “For what is time? Who is able easily and briefly to explain it? …Surely we understand well enough when we speak of it. What then is time? If nobody asks me, I know; but if I were desirous to explain it to someone — plainly I know not. ””(圣奥古斯丁曾经试图回答这个问题。他说:“时间是为了什么?谁能简单扼要地解释一下?当然,当我们谈论它的时候,我们是很清楚的。那么时间是什么呢?如果没有人问我,我知道;但如果我想要向别人解释的话——老实说,我不知道。”)提到圣奥古斯丁也不知道如何向别人解释。结合选项A项The astute Augustine obviously wasn’t much help on this matter.(精明的奥古斯丁显然在这件事上帮不上什么忙。)可知,和上文内容意思相关,承接上文内容,为对上文内容的语意递进。故选A项。
69.根据上文“Albert Einstein followed Leibnitz, and made the statement that “ Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it. ””(阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦遵循莱布尼茨的说法,他说:“除了我们衡量时间的事件顺序之外,时间没有独立的存在。”)提到时间的事件顺序。以及下文“He said the train does not arrive at the station at 7 :00 PM; the train arrives at the station at the same moment the little hand reaches seven.”(他说火车晚上7点还没有到站;火车到达车站的同时,指针小手也到达了7。)说明时间是现在和将来发生的事情。结合选项D项Time is what is happening now and will happen in the future replace what happened in the past.(时间是现在和将来发生的事情,而不是过去发生的事情。)可知,和上下文内容意思一致,都是讲的时间的顺序性,上下文紧密连接,符合语境。故选D项。
70.根据下文“Everything is an event.”(一切都是事件。)以及“I was in New York doing a time management seminar for Merrill Lynch executives, when a fellow handed me a card on which he had written his definition of time: “Time is what keeps one damned thing after another from becoming every damned thing at once.””(我在纽约为美林(Merrill Lynch)的高管们举办时间管理研讨会时,一位同事递给我一张卡片,上面写着他对时间的定义:“时间是阻止一件该死的事情接着另一件该死的事情同时变成另一件该死的事情的东西。”)可知,该段主要讲的是时间是事件相继发生的顺序。结合选项B项The definition from the dictionary says: “Time is the occurrence of events in sequence, one after the other.”( 字典上的定义是:“时间是事件相继发生的顺序。”)可知,和该段意思一致,为总结该段内容。故选B项。
IV.Summary Writing(写作概要)(共20分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
e-learning: Hazy past—better future?
How much of an effect does technology have on students’ learning? A significant one, it seems, according to experts. Currently available technologies, the most important of which are computers and the Internet, apparently provide a learning environment in which problem-solving and intellectual enquiry can flourish. The process of learning in the classroom may become significantly more effective as students can deal with information on the computer. Or so the theory goes. My own viewpoint is rather different, I’m afraid.
Computers have been around for two decades as part of school equipment. There are, of course, obstacles like costs to overcome, but it’s just a matter of time and effort. This is because schools have done what every organisation does when it sees an innovation—it applies the innovation to its existing model, which adds cost but doesn’t transform the standard classroom. We have, during that period, spent over $60 billion on them, but in my view they seem to have had little or no effect on learning in schools. Content is king and the mode of delivery is irrelevant. If a teacher makes the subject matter interesting, it does not matter what, if any, equipment is used.
However, change is on the horizon. I think student-centred learning will become the norm and transform education. Computers will pave the way for far more independent learning. Students who currently don’t have access to schools or teachers are now able to get online. They can study from home thanks to the fact that more learning programmes are being written for learners who are forced by their circumstances to be self-sufficient. This would prove especially beneficial in those areas of the world where quality education is limited or extremely expensive. Therefore, in a few years’ time we could have a completely different conversation about technology and its impact on learning.
71.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Although experts say modern technology has a significant effect on classroom learning, the writer holds a different view. Schools have invested much to apply computers in their classroom teaching, but it hasn’t changed the classroom teaching because what teachers teach is more important. But computers make it possible for those with no access to school to study on their own.
【分析】这是一篇概要写作。
【详解】写作步骤
1)细读原文。首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握文章主旨。文章说明了尽管专家说现代技术对课堂学习有显著的影响,作者却持有不同的观点。学校投入了大量资金将计算机应用到课堂教学中,但这并没有改变课堂教学,因为老师教什么更重要。但是计算机使那些不能上学的人能够自学。
2)弄清结构,归纳段意。概要写作是写全文概要,不是写某一部分的概要,或者就某些问题写出要点。因此一定要弄清文章结构,归纳文章各段大意。
3)列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构,将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。
4)在写作时要特别注意下面几点:
(1)概要应包括原文中的主要事实,略去不必要的细节。
(2)安排好篇幅的比例,概要应同原文保持协调,即用较多的文字写重要内容,用较少的文字写次要内容。
(3)注意要点之间的衔接,要用适当的关联词语贯通全文,切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子,但也不要每两句之间都加关联词语,以免显得生硬。
(4)不排斥用原文的某些词句,但不要照搬原文的句子,如果不能完全用自己的话语表达,至少对原文句子做一些同义词替换,如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。
(5)计算词数,看是否符合规定的词数要求。
V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。)(翻译)
Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets
72.不要小看这些长相平平的无人机,他们可以把重100公斤的货物分毫不差地送到目的地,在路况不佳的地区相当有用。(helpful)(汉译英)
【答案】Don’t look down on/underestimate the ordinary-looking drones, which can deliver the cargos/ goods weighing 100 kg to the destinations with millimetre accuracy, (and / so they are ) very helpful in areas with badly-maintained roads.
【详解】考查祈使句和定语从句。句子是描述一个事实,应用一般现在时,“不要”使用祈使句的否定形式Don’t do...,“小看”使用动词短语look down on或动词underestimate,“这些长相平平的无人机”译为the ordinary-looking drones,其中形容词ordinary-looking作定语;“他们可以把重100公斤的货物分毫不差地送到目的地”译为一个非限制性定语从句,修饰drones,“可以”使用情态动词can,后接动词原形,“把……送到……”使用动词短语deliver...to...,“货物”使用名词cargos/goods,“重100公斤”使用动词短语weigh 100 kg,和cargos/goods之间是主谓关系,使用现在分词作后置定语,“目的地”使用名词复数destinations,“分毫不差”使用介词短语with millimetre accuracy,作状语,修饰动词deliver,关系词在从句中作主语,使用关系代词which引导;“在路况不佳的地区相当有用”和前句可看作并列或因果关系,使用连词and或so连接均可,使用代词they作主语,指代前文的drones,“有用”使用形容词helpful作表语,“在路况不佳的地区”译为介词短语in areas with badly-maintained roads,主语表示复数意义,be动词用are,本句也可直接使用形容词作状语,故翻译为:Don’t look down on / underestimate the ordinary-looking drones, which can deliver the cargos/ goods weighing 100 kg to the destinations with millimetre accuracy, (and / so they are ) very helpful in areas with badly-maintained roads.
73.你带了这么多不需要的东西,难怪你的行李超重了。(pack)(汉译英)
【答案】You have packed so many unnecessary things/ items, and (it is) no wonder (that) your luggage is overweight.
【详解】考查时态、形容词、名词、固定句型。表示“你”用you,作主语,位于句首,首字母大写。表示“收拾(行李)”用pack,强调过去的动作对现在的影响,句子时态用现在完成时,主语为you,助动词用have。表示“这么多”用so many。表示“不需要的”用形容词unnecessary,作前置定语,修饰名词“东西”。表示“东西”用thing或item,用复数形式,作packed的宾语。用连词and连接两个句子。表示“难怪”用固定句型(it is) no wonder (that)...,表示“你的”用your,作前置定语,修饰“行李”;表示“行李”用luggage,作主语;表示现在的状态,句子时态用一般现在时,系动词用is;表示“超重”用形容词overweight,作表语。故翻译为You have packed so many unnecessary things/ items, and (it is) no wonder (that) your luggage is overweight.
74.大运河,作为最古老的人工水路而闻名于世,造福世代沿河而居的百姓。(benefit n.)(汉译英)
【答案】The Grand Canal, (which is ) known worldwide as the oldest man-made waterway, has provided benefits/is of benefit to the people who have lived along it for generations.
【详解】考查名词(短语)、动词(短语)和定语从句。“大运河”应用固定表达the Grand Canal,作主语;“作为最古老的人工水路而闻名于世”可理解为是对the Grand Canal的补充说明,用which引导非限制性定语从句,用一般现在时描述一般性的事实,“作为……而闻名于世”可用固定短语be known worldwide as,be动词应用is,“最古老的人工水路”可用名词短语the oldest man-made waterway,且which is可省略,用过去分词短语作the Grand Canal的非限制性后置定语;主句中的“造福”可用现在完成时描述从过去发生延续到现在的行为,用has provided benefits to表示,或用一般现在时描述一般性的事实,用is of benefit to表示,“百姓”应用名词the people;“世代沿河而居的”是修饰people的成分,可用who引导限制性定语从句,用现在完成时描述从过去发生延续到现在的行为,“沿河而居”可用动词短语have lived along it,“世代”可用介宾短语for generations。故可译为:The Grand Canal, (which is) known worldwide as the oldest man-made waterway, has provided benefits/is of benefit to the people who have lived along it for generations.
75.尽管水果富含维生素,减肥心切的女士们不应该用它们来代替均衡的正餐。(replace)(汉译英)
【答案】Although fruits are rich in vitamins, ladies who are eager to lose weight should not replace them with balanced meals.
【详解】考查连词、动词短语和时态。“尽管”用although,引导让步状语从句;“富含”用be rich in表达,因句子表示的是一个客观情况,谓语动词使用一般现在时,主语fruits是复数,所以be动词用are;“减肥心切的女士们”用ladies who are eager to lose weight表达,其中who引导定语从句,修饰先行词 ladies;“不应该”用should not;“用……代替……”用replace...with..;“均衡的正餐”用balanced meals。故整句话翻译为:Although fruits are rich in vitamins, ladies who are eager to lose weight should not replace them with balanced meals。

Hearing from successful people who had no clue at age 19 where they’d actually end up 21 (prove) reassuring to sophomore Emily Ford this weekend. Ford was among the 100second-year students who attended the kickoff for “Sophomore Spark,” a QuadEx program designed 22 (meet) the personal, professional and intellectual needs of sophomores.
The Sophomore Spark Summit, 23 pilot launch event held Saturday afternoon at the Rubenstein Arts Center, included engaging keynote speakers, conversations with alumni, and interactive sessions on managing stress and connecting with the creative, right-side of the brain.
Sophomore Spark co-chairs, Greg Victory, assistant vice president and Fannie Mitchell executive director of the career center, and Jenny Wood Crowley, assistant vice provost for intellectual community in the Office of Undergraduate Education, said sophomore year 24 be an exceptionally challenging and growth-filled time, when students wrestle with ways that purpose and value intersect (交叉) with academic and career journeys.
“We want them to see they have the skills, resources and mentors already here.” Victory said. “And to let them know they don’t have to have it all 25 (figure out) right away.”
Wood Crowley shared a one-on-one conversation with Rishab Jagetia, a sophomore who cares about environmentalism and economic justice. He asked her to help him generate more serious student engagement with those societal issues 26 the classroom so that students could break the boundaries of textbooks and lectures to explore more about potential careers.
“I explained that programs like Sophomore Spark will be an integral part of the QuadEx experience 27 it fully launches this fall,” Wood Crowley said. “Building community, highlighting resources, and providing meaningful connections between students and faculty, 28 the Spark Summit did, are essential components of the new residential living and learning model.”
Ford said she particularly enjoyed the keynote talk about “unleashing one’s superpowers” and the nonlinear career path of speaker Sanyin Siang, Pratt ‘96 MBA’02. “One of the reasons I came was to hear people’s stories,” Ford told Siang in a breakout improve session they both attended. “I’d been feeling lost. Since freshman year, I thought I wanted to do premed (医科大学预科). Now I’ve started taking 29 (much) of a variety of classes that are not STEM, I’ve been feeling so much better. Coming today was a really good decision.”
The Sophomore Spark Summit 30 (make) possible by the generous support of Stacey and Dan Levitan.

Taking A Vacation Could Help You Live Longer
Thinking about skipping vacation days? Don’t. One of the longest follow-up studies in the world finds vacations can actually prolong your life.
And if you think your spin classes (动感单车课程) and clean eating will make up for 41 your dream cruise trip and save you from your jam-packed, hard driving life, think again. An improved, healthier lifestyle doesn’t 42 working too hard and not taking your holidays, University of Helsinki professor Timo Strandberg said Tuesday at the annual European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress. “ 43 can be a good way to relieve stress.”
The new findings are a part of the Helsinki Businessmen Study, research that for decades has 44 1,222 male executives born between 1919 and 1934. Each had at least one risk factor for heart disease, for example, smoking, 45 , or had high blood pressure. The research, which began in the 1960s, 46 into a longitudinal (纵向的) study and was extended through 2014, focusing in part on how mid-life risk factors can impact the 47 in old age.
For the study, the men were split into two groups. In one control group, men lived their lives as they 48 did and did not meet with the study’s investigators. Men in the other group, a(n) 49 group, were given advice on how to improve their health. These men were asked to exercise, improve their diets, reach a healthy weight or stop smoking.
At the study’s 15-year check-in, Strandberg found that if their vacations 50 , the men who improved their lifestyles had a 37 percent higher chance of death rate. What is to 51 ? Working too hard, not sleeping enough and not taking enough vacation.
While 52 , this new research won’t likely impact most Americans’ vacation habits. Most American workers don’t get that many paid days to begin with. Even if they do have the time, many workers feel they can’t 53 it. Americans have put off vacation because they feel they have too much work to do and too many family 54 .
Given that experts find that vacation can help you be more productive when you return to work, maybe it’s time to put forward the request for a few days 55 .

In the serene town of Willowbrook resided the young maiden Lily.

Yet, within this canvas of imperfections, Lily’s heart radiated a warmth that enveloped all who crossed her path in a tender embrace.

In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin.
Milk is not just a staple in our diets; it also has skincare benefits. Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. However, you can’s add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy (过敏) due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin.
Olive oil, a Mediterranean staple, is not only great for cooking but also for moisturizing the skin, making the it silky and smooth. While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores.
Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals (自由基) which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion.
Papaya, thanks to its enzyme papain, can help to dissolve pore-blocking debris and slough off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution.
Strawberries are not just sweet and juicy; they can also help calm redness. The antioxidants in strawberries work to even out skin tone and improve the overall texture of the skin, making it appear more uniform and clear. However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products.
Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated. However, those with acne-prone skin should use honey-based products sparingly, as they may be too rich and potentially pore-clogging. Therefore, use honey in moderation and choose products with lighter formulas.
Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate (去屑) the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Skincare products containing citrus ingredients can help slough off dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin underneath.
Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it!
60.To keep skin moist, we can resort to some natural products except __________.
A.milk B.olive oil C.honey D.tangerine
61.For an berry-allergic old lady with sensitive skin condition, you’d better recommend __________ to be involved in her diet and daily skincare to help her preserve youth.

The clothes we choose to wear serve as an access to our cultural heritage, societal standing, and personal inclinations. Let us embark on a captivating journey through the myriad (迷宫) of clothing across various cultures.
In Western realms, a leisure attitude towards attire dominates daily life. Informal ensembles (全套服装) featuring jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers reign supreme, embodying a principal of comfort and ease. The blend of casual and laid-back styles in Western fashion reflects a society that values practicality and self-expression. This approach to clothing allows individuals to effortlessly stay in comfort with personal style, creating a harmonious balance between ease and individuality in their everyday wardrobes.
Conversely, traditional attire in Asian emphasizes formality and conservatism. For instance, in Japan, where the ceremonial kimonos dominate special events or festivities, featuring intricate designs and vibrant hues, a rich cultural legacy woven into the fabric. India’s sarees mirror a vibrant mosaic influenced by regional traditions and ceremonial customs. The timeless elegance of sarees draping women in a swath of fabric represents a tapestry of colors and patterns that narrate stories of female individuality hidden under the nationwide cover.
In some Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, women gracefully envelop themselves in abayas, long black robes that enshroud their forms entirely. This strict dress code, steeped in the rules of religious faith and cultural morals, conveys values of female modesty and respect for males. Traditional attire for Middle Eastern men includes garments such as thobes or dishdashas, which are long, loose-fitting robes typically worn with a head covering. These garments are not only practical for the region’s climate but also reflect the wearer’s background, social status, and personal preferences.
Across diverse African residences, clothing emerges as a canvas for expressing cultural underpinnings and heritage. The vibrant hues and intricate patterns decorating traditional garments like dashiki s or kaftans resonate with the boundless creativity and diversity inherent in African cultures. In native communities, attire transcends its utilitarian purpose, emerging as a channel to nature and spirituality.

Section C(六选四)
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
Time, What is it?
If I were to stop you on the street and say,“ Excuse me, what time is it?” what would you do? You’d probably look at your watch and say, “ It’s a quarter to three,” or some such thing. 67 But if I were to stop you on the street and say the same words but in a different order, “ Time, what is it?” you’d probably look at me as if I were crazy. What is time? How would you define it?
For centuries, philosophers and wise men have tried to explain time. Saint Augustine once tried to answer this question. He said: “For what is time? Who is able easily and briefly to explain it? …Surely we understand well enough when we speak of it. What then is time? If nobody asks me, I know; but if I were desirous to explain it to someone — plainly I know not.” 68
Sir Isaac Newton said that time was absolute, that it occurred whether the universe was here or not. Leibnitz came along and turned Newton’s definition upside down. He said, “ Time is merely the order of events, not an entity itself.” Albert Einstein followed Leibnitz, and made the statement that “ Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it.” 69 He said the train does not arrive at the station at 7 :00 PM; the train arrives at the station at the same moment the little hand reaches seven.
70 Everything is an event. Reading this book is an event. Getting out of bed this morning is an event. Driving your car is an event. Arriving at work is an event. Your phone ringing is an event. Eating lunch is an event. I was in New York doing a time management seminar for Merrill Lynch executives, when a fellow handed me a card on which he had written his definition of time: “Time is what keeps one damned thing after another from becoming every damned thing at once.”
Ben Franklin said, “ Dost thou love life? Then do not squander (挥霍) time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.” If this is true, then controlling your life means controlling your time, and controlling your time means controlling the events in your life.
A.The astute Augustine obviously wasn’t much help on this matter.
B.The definition from the dictionary says: “Time is the occurrence of events in sequence, one after the other.”
C.He then developed an idea called “simultaneous events.”
D.Time is what is happening now and will happen in the future replace what happened in the past
E.In America we don’t usually stop people on the street and ask them philosophical questions.
F.If we waste time, how can we say we love our lives?

e-learning: Hazy past—better future?
How much of an effect does technology have on students’ learning? A significant one, it seems, according to experts. Currently available technologies, the most important of which are computers and the Internet, apparently provide a learning environment in which problem-solving and intellectual enquiry can flourish. The process of learning in the classroom may become significantly more effective as students can deal with information on the computer. Or so the theory goes. My own viewpoint is rather different, I’m afraid.
Computers have been around for two decades as part of school equipment. There are, of course, obstacles like costs to overcome, but it’s just a matter of time and effort. This is because schools have done what every organisation does when it sees an innovation—it applies the innovation to its existing model, which adds cost but doesn’t transform the standard classroom. We have, during that period, spent over $60 billion on them, but in my view they seem to have had little or no effect on learning in schools. Content is king and the mode of delivery is irrelevant. If a teacher makes the subject matter interesting, it does not matter what, if any, equipment is used.
However, change is on the horizon. I think student-centred learning will become the norm and transform education. Computers will pave the way for far more independent learning. Students who currently don’t have access to schools or teachers are now able to get online. They can study from home thanks to the fact that more learning programmes are being written for learners who are forced by their circumstances to be self-sufficient. This would prove especially beneficial in those areas of the world where quality education is limited or extremely expensive. Therefore, in a few years’ time we could have a completely different conversation about technology and its impact on learning.
