IN THIS ISSUE
Just some of the women who made this mag. . .
Lorraine McCall has spent most of her adult life working in the outdoors industry. Her main love is journeying; past expeditions have included a continuous round of the Munros in 2005 and a 2000-mile tour of the Corbetts in 2014. Most recently, she became the first person to climb all the Grahams in a single journey (she writes about that record-breaking feat on page 42). Lorraine is based in the Scottish Highlands.
Lydia Paleschi is a freelance writer and author who finds fulfilment through exploring and writing about travel and outdoor adventure. She enjoys encouraging others to gain the mental and physical health benefits of moving their body surrounded by nature. Born in Cornwall, she spends her time sailing, sea swimming and hiking both at home and afar. Read about her off-the-beaten-path adventures on Nepal’s Helambu Trek on page 52.
Elise Wortley is an adventurer and writer on a mission to redefine what it means to be an explorer. Her ongoing project — Woman with Altitude — highlights overlooked women adventurers from history, who achieved astonishing feats but remained less celebrated than their male counterparts. On page 60, she writes about her recent attempt to summit Mont Blanc, Western Europe’s highest summit.
Sarah Jane Douglas (an award-winning author, Corbetteer and proud Blue Peter badge holder) has always been drawn to Scotland’s high places. When cancer struck with the same diagnosis that took her mother, she just ignored medical advice to ‘stick to beach walks’ and instead took to the mountains (find out how that worked out for her on page 26). Her next project is to finish writing a second book, titled Summit About Sarah.
1. Which page carries a story about how someone broke a record of mountain climbing?
A. Page 26. B. Page 42.
C. Page 52. D. Page 60.
2. Who works to help the women climbers that deserve more attention?
A. Lorraine McCall. B. Sarah Jane Douglas.
C. Lydia Paleschi. D. Elise Wortley.
3. What impresses people most about Sarah Jane Douglas?
A. Her response to cancer. B. Her concern about her family.
C. The huge success she made. D. The plan she had for the future.

Heman Bekele has been named TIME’s Kid of the Year for 2024. The 15-year-old has come up with an idea for a soap that could help treat skin cancer, and he is already working with scientists to test his idea.
Heman’s family came to the US from Ethiopia when he was four. Heman remembers seeing people there working outside in the sun without protecting their skin. From his parents, he learned about the dangers of cancer, and how important it is for people to protect their skin from the sun. Skin cancer can often be cured, but the treatment is extremely expensive.
Heman was always curious, and experimented as a youngster by mixing different liquids together. When he was more than 7 years old, he read about a medicine called “imiquimod” that can help fight skin cancer. Heman thought that a good way to deliver the medicine might be through a simple bar of soap. Then he thought about creating a soap that contained the medicine inside super tiny “nanoparticles”. These could stick to the skin and deliver the imiquimod after the soap had washed off.
Last year, when he was 14, Heman created a video explaining his idea, and used it to enter the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. He wound up winning the contest, which came with a $25, 000 prize. Perhaps more importantly, the 3M Young Scientist Challenge pairs students with older, more experienced “mentor” scientists who can guide them. Heman is now working with Vito Rebecca, a scientist at Johns Hopkins University. He and Dr. Rebecca are running tests to see if the soap helps the mice with skin cancer.
Heman knows that it will take a long time and a lot of effort to develop his soap. He needs to test it completely and get it approved. He encourages other young people to think of ways they can contribute. “Just keep inventing, ” Heman says. “Keep thinking of new ways to improve our world and keep making it a better place. ”
4. What led to Heman’s idea for a soap?
A. The pursuit of comprehensive medical knowledge.
B. The pity for the endangered skin cancer patients.
C. The words and deeds from his caring and loving parents.
D. The scene of people working outside without skin protection.
5. What can we learn about Heman from paragraph 3?
A. He was brainy and valued hands-on experience.
B. He was full of energy and liked doing experiments.
C. He was courageous and chose to test new drugs.
D. He was in poor health and took medicine regularly.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The effort Heman made. B. The challenges Heman faced.
C. The benefits Heman’s video brought to him. D. The guidance Heman got from some scientists.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The soap will soon come onto the market. B. The soap leaves something to be desired.
C. Today’s young people are lacking in creativity. D. It’s young people’s duty to improve our world.
C
One of the top sources of added sugar in children’s diets in America is in their breakfast cereal (麦片). A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that advertising drives sales of high-sugar cereals when it’s aimed directly at kids under 12-but not when it targets adults.
In the study, researchers looked at all cereals purchased by 77,000 U.S. households over a nine-year period, between 2008 and 2017. They also looked at Nielsen ratings data, which closely monitored all the ads that people in a household saw-both children and adults. What they found was a strong relationship between how much advertising was targeted to kids and how much sugary cereal that households with children bought. By contrast, there was no link to increased purchases when ads targeted adults. And these extensive data also showed that behaviors that were learned in childhood could track into adulthood, which could lead to poor health outcomes over a lifetime.
The study is the first to directly compare the influence of food advertising exposure by children with that of adults. The findings offer novel evidence of how food marketing turns children into the “ultimate weapon” in influencing family spending because they consistently ask their parents to purchase a concept known as “pester power”.
The food industry launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a voluntary effort to police itself. The 21 participating food companies made a commitment to cut back on marketing unhealthy foods to children under 12 — later revised to under 13. A new study conducted in 2024 showed that children’s exposure to cereal ads on TV programming aimed at kids has dropped dramatically.
But Lindsey Smith Taillie, a food policy researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says these voluntary efforts aren’t making a difference. Advertisements, like kids’ eyeballs, are moving online, making it even harder to know what marketing children are being exposed to, Taillie notes.
8. What did the study find about child-targeted food ads?
A. They had no connection with adults’ purchases.
B. They were less effective than adult-targeted ads.
C. They might affect children’s health in the long run.
D. They could reduce children’s interest in sugary food.
9. What does the underlined phrase “pester power” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Parents’ unconditional love. B. Children’s uncontrolled spending.
C. Parents’ growing consumption. D. Children’s repeated purchase requests.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. An expectation for further study. B. The follow-up influence of the study.
C. A limitation of the research method. D. The potential application of the findings.
11. What is Tallie’s attitude toward the voluntary efforts?
A. Favorable. B. Tolerant. C. Disapproving. D. Reserved.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What to Do When You Have No Motivation
When you have no motivation to complete a task or even start one, first consider the possible reasons why you’re struggling. ___12___ Not every strategy works for everyone — or in every situation. Perform some behavioral experiments to see which strategies best help you reach your goals.
___13___ When you think you’re going to fail, argue all the reasons why you might succeed. Or when you think you can’t finish a job, list all the evidence that shows you’ll be able to complete the task. There’s a chance that things might work out better than you expect. And you might find that developing a more balanced outlook will help you feel more motivated to try.
Use the 10-minute rule. The 10-minute rule can help you get started. Give yourself permission to quit a task after 10 minutes. When you reach the 10-minute mark, ask yourself if you want to keep going or quit. You’ll likely find that you have enough motivation to keep going. Getting started on a task is usually the hardest part. ___14___
Seek professional help. If your motivation remains low for two or more weeks, seek professional help. ___15___ Your doctor may want to rule out physical health conditions that may be affecting your energy or mood. Your doctor may also refer you to a mental health professional to determine if your lack of motivation might be related to a mental illness, like depression.
Everyone struggles with motivation issues at one time or another. ___16___ Experiment with strategies that increase your motivation, and ask for help if you need it.
A. Argue the opposite.
B. Act as if you feel motivated.
C. For example, schedule an appointment with your physician.
D. If you’re unwilling to go to school, stay at home for some time.
E. Then, develop a plan to help motivate yourself to get going.
F. Once you get going, however, it’s much easier to keep going.
G. The way you respond to your lack of motivation is what matters.

IN THIS ISSUE
Just some of the women who made this mag. . .
Lorraine McCall has spent most of her adult life working in the outdoors industry. Her main love is journeying; past expeditions have included a continuous round of the Munros in 2005 and a 2000-mile tour of the Corbetts in 2014. Most recently, she became the first person to climb all the Grahams in a single journey (she writes about that record-breaking feat on page 42). Lorraine is based in the Scottish Highlands.
Lydia Paleschi is a freelance writer and author who finds fulfilment through exploring and writing about travel and outdoor adventure. She enjoys encouraging others to gain the mental and physical health benefits of moving their body surrounded by nature. Born in Cornwall, she spends her time sailing, sea swimming and hiking both at home and afar. Read about her off-the-beaten-path adventures on Nepal’s Helambu Trek on page 52.
Elise Wortley is an adventurer and writer on a mission to redefine what it means to be an explorer. Her ongoing project — Woman with Altitude — highlights overlooked women adventurers from history, who achieved astonishing feats but remained less celebrated than their male counterparts. On page 60, she writes about her recent attempt to summit Mont Blanc, Western Europe’s highest summit.
Sarah Jane Douglas (an award-winning author, Corbetteer and proud Blue Peter badge holder) has always been drawn to Scotland’s high places. When cancer struck with the same diagnosis that took her mother, she just ignored medical advice to ‘stick to beach walks’ and instead took to the mountains (find out how that worked out for her on page 26). Her next project is to finish writing a second book, titled Summit About Sarah.

Heman thought that a good way to deliver the medicine might be through a simple bar of soap. Then he thought about creating a soap that contained the medicine inside super tiny “nanoparticles”. These could stick to the skin and deliver the imiquimod after the soap had washed off.(赫曼一直很好奇,年轻时就把不同的液体混合在一起做实验。当他7岁多的时候,他读到一种叫做“咪喹莫特”的药物可以帮助对抗皮肤癌。赫曼认为,通过一块简单的肥皂可能是一种传递药物的好方法。然后他想到了制造一种肥皂,这种肥皂中含有超微小的“纳米颗粒”。它们可以粘在皮肤上,并在肥皂洗掉后释放咪喹莫特)”可知,赫曼很聪明,重视实践经验。故选A。

He and Dr. Rebecca are running tests to see if the soap helps the mice with skin cancer.(去年,当他14岁的时候,赫曼制作了一个视频来解释他的想法,并利用它参加了3M青年科学家挑战赛。他最终赢得了比赛,并获得了2.5万美元的奖金。也许更重要的是,3M青年科学家挑战赛将学生与年龄更大、经验更丰富的“导师”科学家配对,后者可以指导他们。赫曼现在与约翰霍普金斯大学的科学家维托·丽贝卡合作。他和丽贝卡博士正在进行测试,看看肥皂是否能帮助患皮肤癌的老鼠)”可知,第4段主要讲了赫曼的视频给他带来的好处。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Heman knows that it will take a long time and a lot of effort to develop his soap. He needs to test it completely and get it approved.(赫曼知道开发他的肥皂需要很长时间和大量的努力。他需要对它进行全面测试并获得批准)”可知,肥皂还有待改进之处。故选B。
C
One of the top sources of added sugar in children’s diets in America is in their breakfast cereal (麦片) A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that advertising drives sales of high-sugar cereals when it’s aimed directly at kids under 12-but not when it targets adults.
In the study, researchers looked at all cereals purchased by 77,000 U.S. households over a nine-year period, between 2008 and 2017. They also looked at Nielsen ratings data, which closely monitored all the ads that people in a household saw-both children and adults. What they found was a strong relationship between how much advertising was targeted to kids and how much sugary cereal that households with children bought. By contrast, there was no link to increased purchases when ads targeted adults. And these extensive data also showed that behaviors that were learned in childhood could track into adulthood, which could lead to poor health outcomes over a lifetime.
The study is the first to directly compare the influence of food advertising exposure by children with that of adults. The findings offer novel evidence of how food marketing turns children into the “ultimate weapon” in influencing family spending because they consistently ask their parents to purchase a concept known as “pester power”.
The food industry launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a voluntary effort to police itself. The 21 participating food companies made a commitment to cut back on marketing unhealthy foods to children under 12 — later revised to under 13. A new study conducted in 2024 showed that children’s exposure to cereal ads on TV programming aimed at kids has dropped dramatically.
But Lindsey Smith Taillie, a food policy researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says these voluntary efforts aren’t making a difference. Advertisements, like kids’ eyeballs, are moving online, making it even harder to know what marketing children are being exposed to, Taillie notes.
8. What did the study find about child-targeted food ads?
A. They had no connection with adults’ purchases.
B. They were less effective than adult-targeted ads.
C. They might affect children’s health in the long run.
D. They could reduce children’s interest in sugary food.
9. What does the underlined phrase “pester power” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Parents’ unconditional love. B. Children’s uncontrolled spending.
C. Parents’ growing consumption. D. Children’s repeated purchase requests.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. An expectation for further study. B. The follow-up influence of the study.
C. A limitation of the research method. D. The potential application of the findings.
11. What is Tallie’s attitude toward the voluntary efforts?
A. Favorable. B. Tolerant. C. Disapproving. D. Reserved.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了针对儿童的高糖麦片广告对家庭购买行为的影响及其长期健康危害,并讨论了相关政策效果与局限性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“What they found was a strong relationship between how much advertising was targeted to kids and how much sugary cereal that households with children bought. By contrast, there was no link to increased purchases when ads targeted adults. And these extensive data also showed that behaviors that were learned in childhood could track into adulthood, which could lead to poor health outcomes over a lifetime. (他们发现,针对儿童的广告投放量与有孩子的家庭购买的高糖麦片的数量之间存在着紧密的联系。相比之下,当广告以成年人为目标群体时,广告投放量与家庭购买量的增加没有关联。而且这些广泛的数据还表明,童年时期养成的行为习惯会延续到成年,这可能会在一生中导致不良的健康后果)”可知,研究发现针对儿童的食品广告可能会影响儿童的长期健康。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线短语所在句“The findings offer novel evidence of how food marketing turns children into the “ultimate weapon” in influencing family spending because they consistently ask their parents to purchase a concept known as “pester power”. (这些研究结果为食品营销如何将儿童变成影响家庭消费的“终极武器”提供了新的证据,因为孩子们会不断要求父母购买,这就是所谓的pester power)”可知,研究发现食品营销如何将儿童变成影响家庭消费的“终极武器”,因为孩子们不断地要求父母购买,即画线短语“pester power”指的是孩子们反复的购买请求。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The food industry launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a voluntary effort to police itself. The 21 participating food companies made a commitment to cut back on marketing unhealthy foods to children under 12 — later revised to under 13. A new study conducted in 2024 showed that children’s exposure to cereal ads on TV programming aimed at kids has dropped dramatically. (食品行业发起了“儿童食品和饮料广告倡议”,这是一项自愿的自我监管努力。21家参与的食品公司承诺减少向12岁以下儿童推销不健康食品,后来这一年龄限制被修改为13岁以下。2024年进行的一项新研究表明,儿童接触针对儿童的电视节目中的麦片广告大幅减少)”可知,第四段主要讲了研究的后续影响。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But Lindsey Smith Taillie, a food policy researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says these voluntary efforts aren’t making a difference. Advertisements, like kids’ eyeballs, are moving online, making it even harder to know what marketing children are being exposed to, Taillie notes. (但北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的食品政策研究员Lindsey Smith Taillie表示,这些自愿的努力并没有起到什么作用。Taillie指出,广告就像孩子们的眼睛一样,正在向网络转移,这使得人们更难知道孩子们接触到了什么样的营销)”可推知,Tallie对自愿的努力持不赞成态度。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What to Do When You Have No Motivation
When you have no motivation to complete a task or even start one, first consider the possible reasons why you’re struggling. ___12___ Not every strategy works for everyone — or in every situation. Perform some behavioral experiments to see which strategies best help you reach your goals.
___13___ When you think you’re going to fail, argue all the reasons why you might succeed. Or when you think you can’t finish a job, list all the evidence that shows you’ll be able to complete the task. There’s a chance that things might work out better than you expect. And you might find that developing a more balanced outlook will help you feel more motivated to try.
Use the 10-minute rule. The 10-minute rule can help you get started. Give yourself permission to quit a task after 10 minutes. When you reach the 10-minute mark, ask yourself if you want to keep going or quit. You’ll likely find that you have enough motivation to keep going. Getting started on a task is usually the hardest part. ___14___
Seek professional help. If your motivation remains low for two or more weeks, seek professional help. ___15___ Your doctor may want to rule out physical health conditions that may be affecting your energy or mood. Your doctor may also refer you to a mental health professional to determine if your lack of motivation might be related to a mental illness, like depression.
Everyone struggles with motivation issues at one time or another. ___16___ Experiment with strategies that increase your motivation, and ask for help if you need it.
A. Argue the opposite.
B. Act as if you feel motivated.
C. For example, schedule an appointment with your physician.
D. If you’re unwilling to go to school, stay at home for some time.
E. Then, develop a plan to help motivate yourself to get going.
F. Once you get going, however, it’s much easier to keep going.
G. The way you respond to your lack of motivation is what matters.
【答案】12. E 13. A 14. F 15. C 16. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当你缺乏动力时应该怎么做,包括行为实验、10分钟规则和寻求专业帮助等,以帮助读者找到动力并达成目标。
【12题详解】
由上文“When you have no motivation to complete a task or even start one, first consider the possible reasons why you're struggling.(当你没有动力去完成一项任务,甚至开始一项任务时,首先要考虑你挣扎的可能原因)”和后文“Not every strategy works for everyone — or in every situation.(并不是每种策略都适用于每个人或每种情况)”可知空格处要表达的是找到适合自己的方法,故E选项“然后,制定一个计划来帮助激励自己行动起来”符合语境。E选项中“motivate”与上文“motivation”相呼应。故选E。
【13题详解】
由下文“When you think you’re going to fail, argue all the reasons why you might succeed. Or when you think you can’t finish a job, list all the evidence that shows you’ll be able to complete the task. (当你觉得自己要失败时候,找出所有你可能成功的理由。或者当你认为你无法完成一项工作时,列出所有表明你能够完成这项任务的证据)”可知,本段说明可以找出相反的观点来说服自己。A选项“辩论相反的观点”适合放在句首,作主题句。A选项中Argue与后文中argue为同词复现,前后文都是在说明面对没有动力时要反其道而行之,列出自己能成功的证据和理由。故选A。
【14题详解】
由上文“Use the 10-minute rule. The 10-minute rule can help you get started. Give yourself permission to quit a task after 10 minutes. When you reach the 10-minute mark, ask yourself if you want to keep going or quit. You’ll likely find that you have enough motivation to keep going. Getting started on a task is usually the hardest part. (使用10分钟规则。10分钟规则可以帮助你开始。允许自己在10分钟后放弃一项任务。当你到达10分钟的标记时,问问自己是否想继续还是放弃。你可能会发现自己有足够的动力继续前进。开始一项任务通常是最难的部分)”可知本句应当承接上文继续说明使用10分钟规则的效果,F选项“然而,一旦你开始行动起来,坚持下去就容易多了”符合语境。故选F。
【15题详解】
由上文“Seek professional help. If your motivation remains low for two or more weeks, seek professional help.(寻求专业帮助。如果你的动力持续两周或更长时间都很低,那么就去寻求专业帮助)”可知本句应当承接上文具体举例说明如何寻求专业帮助,故C选项“例如,和你的医生预约”符合语境。C选项中“schedule an appointment with your physician”即预约医生,属于寻求专业帮助的一种具体方式。故选C。
【16题详解】
由上文“Everyone struggles with motivation issues at one time or another.(每个人都或多或少会遇到动力问题)”可知本句应当承接上文进行总结说明,即面对动机问题时的关键是如何应对。故G选项“你对缺乏动力的回应方式很重要”符合语境。G选项中“The way you respond to your lack of motivation”即你对缺乏动力的回应方式,能够概括上文的内容。故选G。
