Making choices that are better for the environment often fit well with traveling on a budget, greatly reducing your effect on the environment while saving money. Here’s how to achieve both goals: Choose Local Accommodations Avoid luxury resorts using a lot of resources. Choose instead locally-owned guesthouses, homestays, B&Bs, or hostels. This direct spending keeps money within the community, builds real connections, and avoids hidden resort fees. First look for places with clear ways to help the environment (like recycling or solar power) after checking they are safe. Shop at Farmers Markets & Local Eateries Buying fresh, seasonal food directly from farmers supports the local economy, offers healthier meals, and is usually cheaper than tourist restaurants or imported supermarket goods. Importantly, it greatly reduces the large carbon emissions created by long-distance food transportation, making your diet better for the planet. Travel in Less Busy Times Between Peak and Off-Season Target the times between the busiest and very quiet seasons (e.g., late spring or early fall). You avoid the extremely high prices and huge crowds of peak season, while escaping the often-unpleasant weather of the true off-season. Enjoy lower costs on flights and lodging, more pleasant conditions, and you provide important income to local businesses during quieter times without overloading local services and facilities. Bring Reusable Items You Need Carry a strong water bottle (refill for free!), a coffee cup, reusable utensils, and a foldable tote bag. This stops you having to buy throwaway plastic items all the time and saves you money every day. Get reusable bottles for soap, shampoo, etc. — they avoid small plastic bottles you throw away, reduce luggage weight (potentially saving baggage fees), and last for many trips. These simple items significantly cut down your trash output and rapidly save you money. 1. What is a key benefit of choosing locally-owned guesthouses? A. Creating deeper cultural interactions. B. Ensuring maximum safety for travelers. C. Offering resort-style services at low cost. D. Keeping financial resources in the community. 2. How do farmers’ markets help protect the environment? A. Selling imported goods at lower prices. B. Cutting down pollution from food miles. C. Guaranteeing all products are organic. D. Supporting tourist restaurants financially. 3. What can we conclude about reusable items? A. They save travelers money over time. B. Their use depends on free water availability. C. They require extra luggage space frequently. D. They initially cost more than disposable ones. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了在预算范围内实现可持续旅行的具体方法，包括选择本地住宿、购买本地食材、在旅游淡季与非高峰期出行以及携带可重复使用物品等，旨在减少环境影响并节省开支。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Choose Local Accommodations部分中的“This direct spending keeps money within the community, builds real connections, and avoids hidden resort fees.(这种直接消费将资金留在社区内，建立真正的联系，并避免隐藏的度假费。)”可知，选择当地经营的客房的一个关键好处是能让资金留在社区，D选项“Keeping financial resources in the community.(将资金留在社区)”与原文表述一致，符合题意。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shop at Farmers Markets & Local Eateries部分中的“Importantly, it greatly reduces the large carbon emissions created by long-distance food transportation, making your diet better for the planet.(重要的是，它大大减少了长途食品运输产生的大量碳排放，使你的饮食对地球更有益。)”可知，农贸市场通过减少食品长途运输带来的污染来保护环境，B选项“Cutting down pollution from food miles.(减少食品运输里程带来的污染)”符合文意。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Bring Reusable Items You Need部分中的“This stops you having to buy throwaway plastic items all the time and saves you money every day.(这会让你不必一直购买一次性塑料用品，每天都能省钱。)”以及“rapidly save you money(快速为你省钱)”可知，可重复使用的物品能随着时间的推移为旅行者省钱，A选项“They save travelers money over time.(随着时间的推移，它们能为旅行者省钱)”符合文意。故选A项。 B For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn’t attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn’t last long. I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around. I entered adulthood thinking I wasn’t “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self-improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries. I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self-­reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self­hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance. I am now much lighter than before in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck’s back. 4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She could change her weight at will. B. She had different beauty standards from others. C She tried to love others to build her confidence. D. She was greatly influenced by others’ opinions. 5. Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”？ A. She was poorly disciplined. B. She failed to celebrate “skinny”． C. She was labeled as lazy for her weight. D. She put on more weight after entering adulthood. 6. What caused the author to make a change? A. Her lighter body. B. A troublesome illness. C. Popular beauty standards. D. Others’ critical comments. 7. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Beauty matters. B. Opinions vary. C. Worth your weight. D. Beyond your limits. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者过去由于自己的体重问题很在意别人的看法，由于生病作者意识到体重不是自己问题的根源，作者开始接受自己的体重并慢慢学会接受自己。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.(由于没有达到传统的审美标准，我确信，如果我想被爱，我需要付出更多，做任何事情来取悦周围的人。)”可知，别人的看法对作者的影响很大。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I entered adulthood thinking I wasn’t “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self ­improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined.(当我步入成年的时候，我觉得自己还不够“足够”——这种想法不仅源于人们对“瘦”的赞美，还源于人们对减肥、自我完善、自律等美德的描述。肥胖很快就会被归类为懒惰和不守纪律的人。)”可知，由于肥胖作者还被贴上了懒惰和不自律的标签。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.( 例如，我没有意识到，我的月经比以前更沉重，更痛苦。事实上，我得了一种罕见的疾病，后来做了两次手术。)”、第四段“I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true.( 我总是觉得我的体重是我生活中许多问题的根源;我知道这不是真的。)”以及第四段“I have taken first steps to acceptance.(我已经迈出了接受的第一步。)”可知，由于生病作者意识到体重不是自己问题的根源，由此推测，是生病让作者决心做出改变。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是文章最后一段中“There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long.( 有些日子，我在社交媒体上发现有人说我太胖了，不值得被爱，不值得值得，但我正在学习不要长时间关注这种想法。)”可知，作者主要想表达接受自己的体重，并学会爱自己。C项“你的体重有价值”符合题意。故选C。 C Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky and misunderstood overlap (重叠) between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋). There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. In my own research on strength-based parenting, it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one’s strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration. Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it. The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unknowingly fall prey to binary (非此即彼) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness. When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others. It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble—even when they use their strengths. 8. Which does the underlined word “coherent” possibly mean? A. Reasonable. B. Primary. C. Complicated. D. Beneficial. 9. Why teenagers’ strengths are often mistaken for narcissism? A. Teenagers with strengths are always arrogant, selfish and uncaring. B. The public are more exposed to research on narcissism. C. There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness. D. Numbers of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors. 10. The author mentions Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 4 to show that ________. A. they are both victims of binary thinking B. public figures unknowingly fall prey to narcissism C. confidence is quite important for celebrities D. one can be both modest and sure of himself 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards young kids’ strength-based approaches? A. Skeptical. B. Neutral. C. Favorable. D. Cautious. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇议论文。一直以来，人们对个人优势和自恋两者之间认识不足，导致了对青少年的自信产生误解。作者解释了对青少年的自信被误解为自恋的这一现象，及其产生原因，并认为：以突出孩子们优势为基础的教养方式是有益的。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. (但其中一些创造了看似矛盾的故事)”可知，but前后为转折关系，所以but前应表达“其中许多讲述了合乎逻辑的故事”，划线词的含义为“合理的”。A. Reasonable合理的；B. Primary初级的；C. Complicated复杂的；D. Beneficial有益的。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Genuine confidence about one’s strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration. (对自己实力的真正自信被归类为过度自信；合适的自我认识被认为是过度的自我欣赏。)”，以及第三段中的“Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and our daily life. (为什么会出现这种情况？这在一定程度上是因为人们对自恋的了解多于对优点的了解。虽然优势心理学在很大程度上还停留在学术期刊的范围内，但对自恋的研究已经进入了大众媒体和我们的日常生活。)”可知，青少年因优势产生的自信常常被误认为是自恋，是因为大众对自恋很熟悉，而对优势心理学接触较少、相对陌生。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第四段中的 “We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness.(我们关注的是唐纳德·特朗普和金·卡戴珊，而不是圣雄甘地和特蕾莎修女。如果对自己的力量没有信心，甘地和特蕾莎修女不可能取得他们所取得的成就，但他们都是谦虚和无私的支柱。)”可知，这一段，作者认为人们的看法——一个人不可能既自信又谦虚——是错误的。由此推知，作者以甘地和特蕾莎为例，来证明自己的观点，即一个人既自信又谦虚是可能的。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In my own research on strength-based parenting, it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for narcissism. (在我自己对以力量为基础的养育方式的研究中，人们通常会错误地将这种方式贴上自恋的标签。)”和最后一段“It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble—even when they use their strengths. (人们很容易得出这样的结论:每个年轻人都有成为自恋者的风险，但我想为我接触过的成千上万的年轻人挺身而出，他们关心他人、体贴他人、谦逊——即使他们在发挥自己的优势时也是如此。)”可推知，作者很赞成基于优势的育儿方法。故选C。 D Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has increased over the past 20 years. UPFs (超加工食品) contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives (添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. It has been known that higher UPF consumption is associated with overweight and heart disease. Now, research has been extended to examine its impact on mental health. In a new study, over 72,000 participants who were at least 55 years old and didn’t have dementia (痴呆) at the start of the study were followed for an average of 10 years, during which they filled out questionnaires regarding their diet. By the end of the study, 518 people were diagnosed (诊断) with dementia. After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. They also found replacing 10percent of UPFs with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a 19 percent lower risk of dementia. In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had significant increases in the symptoms (症状) of mild depression, “mentally unhealthy days”, and “anxious days”. Eric Hecht, Founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Etiological Research, said, “More than 70 percent of packaged foods in the US are classified as UPFs and represent about 60percent of all calories consumed by Americans. Considering the degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines.” Facing such alarming data, maybe it’s time for Americans to reconsider their food choices. Researchers recommend taxes on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. They also support programs and policies to increase the availability and affordability of whole foods, especially among disadvantaged populations. 12. What do we know about UPFs? A. They have no nutritional value. B. They are ready-made and instant foods. C. They are cheap and mass-produced. D. They serve as additions to our daily diets. 13. What’s Eric Hecht’s attitude toward the new study? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Ambiguous. D. Doubtful. 14. What do researchers suggest doing? A. Collecting higher taxes on UPFs. B. Decreasing UPFs’ consumption in diet. C. Focusing on the nutrient content of foods. D. Increasing public awareness of whole foods. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Public Health Response to UPFs B. Physical Disorders Linked to UPFs C. Rising Consumption of UPFs in the US D. Negative Effects of UPFs on Mental Health 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。超加工食品的消费在过去20年中有所增加。人们已知，较高的超加工食品摄入量与超重和心脏病有关，而一项新研究表明，超加工食品对心理健康也有负面影响，它可能会增加痴呆、抑郁和焦虑的风险。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“UPFs (超加工食品) contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives (添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. (超加工食品含有很少或不含天然食物，是工业生产的，是即食或即热的，并含有添加剂。食品的超加工降低了其营养价值)”可推知，UPFs是预先制成的快餐食品。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Considering the degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines. (考虑到UPF消费的暴露程度和影响，本研究在临床实践和公共卫生方面具有重要意义。这可能有助于改善未来饮食指南的制定)”可推知，Eric Hecht对这项研究持肯定的态度，故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Researchers recommend taxes on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. (研究人员建议对UPF征税，并实施减少消费的政策)”可推知，研究人员建议人们要降低膳食中超加工食品的比例，减少超加工食品的摄入量。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Now, research has been extended to examine its impact on mental health. (现在，研究已经扩展到检查它对心理健康的影响)”和第二段中的“After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. (在调整了其他可能影响痴呆症风险的因素（如年龄、性别和心脏病）后，研究人员发现，每天摄入upf每增加10%，患痴呆症的风险就会增加25%)”和第三段中的“In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had significant increases in the symptoms (症状) of mild depression, “mentally unhealthy days”, and “anxious days”. (在另一项研究中，研究人员发现，摄入最多upf的人，轻度抑郁、“精神不健康日”和“焦虑日”的症状显著增加)”可知，本文主要介绍的是超加工食品对心理健康的负面影，它可能会增加人们痴呆、抑郁和焦虑的风险。由此可知，D选项“Negative Effects of UPFs on Mental Health (UPF对心理健康的负面影响)”适合作本文标题。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 How to Overcome Procrastination Procrastination is one of those things that even the most well-organized and punctual fall victim to at some point or another.

With a heart full of hope and a mind eager to learn, Mary began her career at a local hospital, where every day was a new lesson in life and death. One sunny morning, Mary received an invitation to attend a cardiac arrest (心脏停搏) training course at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Excitement coursed through her veins as she prepared to join her colleagues in a simulation room designed to imitate the intensity of a real emergency. As they gathered, the atmosphere was a mix of nervous energy and focused determination. The training began with a lecture on the latest agreement for responding to cardiac arrests, the importance of every second in saving a life. Mary listened intently, her eyes wide with the gravity of the knowledge being shared. The hands-on practice was where Mary truly came alive. With each attempt, she felt her skills sharpening, her confidence growing. She learned the art of teamwork, the dance of life-saving measures that required understanding and precision. Her colleagues became her lifeline, and together they navigated the complexities of each situation. The training was not just about the physical act of saving a life; it was about the mental courage required to face the harsh realities of cardiac care. Mary understood that she would carry the weight of her patients’ lives in her hands, and the responsibility was not one to be taken lightly. As the day drew to a close, Mary felt a sense of accomplishment. She knew the road to becoming a cardiac care specialist was long and tough, but she was ready to face the challenges head-on. With each step, she was not just saving lives; she was fulfilling her destiny, one heartbeat at a time. Mary was more than a nurse; she was a guardian of hearts, and her story was just beginning. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At the closing ceremony of the course, Mary suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mary came to life with her fellow nurses around her. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 At the closing ceremony of the course, Mary suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed. The young nurse had gone into cardiac arrest, forcing her colleagues to jump into action and save her life, with no time to review the exact procedures. With quick thinking, they began to revive Mary with chest compression. Luckily, the critical care team from a local hospital was attending a different training course only a few doors down. They rushed in to help guide the nurses through the situation until a doctor and nurse from another department came in with a crash cart. It was only about 15 minutes from the time she fell unconscious to the time she got into an emergency room. It worked out. Mary came to life with her fellow nurses around her. Their quick reaction saved her, altering her perspective to cherish every moment. They basically pushed her through this whole life-or-death experience, which really changed her viewpoint on how she viewed life. She urged that people hug their family a little longer because it might be the last time they did so and just treasure life for what they’ve been given. This reminder highlights the importance of living intentionally, appreciating relationships, and not taking life for granted. Life is precious and she did not realize how precious it was until she nearly lost it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一位名叫玛丽的年轻护士在当地的一家医院开始了她的职业生涯。某次她去参加心脏骤停培训课程，结果在课程结束的时候玛丽晕倒了。多亏了在场的医护人员及时对她进行了急救，挽救了她的生命。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在课程的闭幕式上，玛丽突然感到头晕目眩，昏倒了。”可知，第一段可描写玛丽昏倒，在场的医护人员提供急救。 ②由第二段首句内容“玛丽在护士同事的陪伴下活了过来。”可知，第二段可描写玛丽复苏后的感悟。 2.续写线索：课程结束——玛丽昏倒——进行急救——送往急诊室——玛丽复苏——玛丽感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：begin/start ②使复苏：revive/ come back to life again ③意识：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①宝贵的：precious/valuable ②感激：appreciate/show gratitude to 【点睛】[高分句型1] She urged that people hug their family a little longer because it might be the last time they did so and just treasure life for what they’ve been given.

Making choices that are better for the environment often fit well with traveling on a budget, greatly reducing your effect on the environment while saving money. Here’s how to achieve both goals: Choose Local Accommodations Avoid luxury resorts using a lot of resources. Choose instead locally-owned guesthouses, homestays, B&Bs, or hostels. This direct spending keeps money within the community, builds real connections, and avoids hidden resort fees. First look for places with clear ways to help the environment (like recycling or solar power) after checking they are safe. Shop at Farmers Markets & Local Eateries Buying fresh, seasonal food directly from farmers supports the local economy, offers healthier meals, and is usually cheaper than tourist restaurants or imported supermarket goods. Importantly, it greatly reduces the large carbon emissions created by long-distance food transportation, making your diet better for the planet. Travel in Less Busy Times Between Peak and Off-Season Target the times between the busiest and very quiet seasons (e.g. late spring or early fall). You avoid the extremely high prices and huge crowds of peak season, while escaping the often-unpleasant weather of the true off-season. Enjoy lower costs on flights and lodging, more pleasant conditions, and you provide important income to local businesses during quieter times without overloading local services and facilities. Bring Reusable Items You Need Carry a strong water bottle (refill for free!), a coffee cup, reusable utensils, and a foldable tote bag. This stops you having to buy throwaway plastic items all the time and saves you money every day. Get reusable bottles for soap, shampoo, etc. — they avoid small plastic bottles you throw away, reduce luggage weight (potentially saving baggage fees), and last for many trips. These simple items significantly cut down your trash output and rapidly save you money. 1. What is a key benefit of choosing locally-owned guesthouses? A. Creating deeper cultural interactions. B. Ensuring maximum safety for travelers. C. Offering resort-style services at low cost. D. Keeping financial resources in the community. 2. How do farmers’ markets help protect the environment? A. Selling imported goods at lower prices. B. Cutting down pollution from food miles. C. Guaranteeing all products are organic. D. Supporting tourist restaurants financially. 3. What can we conclude about reusable items? A. They save travelers money over time. B. Their use depends on free water availability. C. They require extra luggage space frequently. D. They initially cost more than disposable ones. B For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn’t attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn’t last long. I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around. I entered adulthood thinking I wasn’t “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self-improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries. I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self-­reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self­hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance. I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck’s back. 4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She could change her weight at will. B She had different beauty standards from others. C. She tried to love others to build her confidence. D. She was greatly influenced by others’ opinions. 5. Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”？ A. She was poorly disciplined. B. She failed to celebrate “skinny”． C. She was labeled as lazy for her weight. D. She put on more weight after entering adulthood. 6. What caused the author to make a change? A. Her lighter body. B. A troublesome illness. C. Popular beauty standards. D. Others’ critical comments. 7. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Beauty matters. B. Opinions vary. C. Worth your weight. D. Beyond your limits. C Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky and misunderstood overlap (重叠) between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋). There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. In my own research on strength-based parenting, it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one’s strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration. Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it. The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unknowingly fall prey to binary (非此即彼) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness. When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others. It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble—even when they use their strengths. 8. Which does the underlined word “coherent” possibly mean? A. Reasonable. B. Primary. C. Complicated. D. Beneficial. 9. Why teenagers’ strengths are often mistaken for narcissism? A. Teenagers with strengths are always arrogant, selfish and uncaring. B. The public are more exposed to research on narcissism. C. There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness. D. Numbers of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors. 10. The author mentions Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 4 to show that ________. A. they are both victims of binary thinking B. public figures unknowingly fall prey to narcissism C. confidence is quite important for celebrities D. one can be both modest and sure of himself 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards young kids’ strength-based approaches? A. Skeptical. B. Neutral. C. Favorable. D. Cautious. D Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has increased over the past 20 years. UPFs (超加工食品) contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives (添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. It has been known that higher UPF consumption is associated with overweight and heart disease. Now, research has been extended to examine its impact on mental health. In a new study, over 72,000 participants who were at least 55 years old and didn’t have dementia (痴呆) at the start of the study were followed for an average of 10 years, during which they filled out questionnaires regarding their diet. By the end of the study, 518 people were diagnosed (诊断) with dementia. After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. They also found replacing 10percent of UPFs with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a 19 percent lower risk of dementia. In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had significant increases in the symptoms (症状) of mild depression, “mentally unhealthy days”, and “anxious days”. Eric Hecht, Founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Etiological Research, said, “More than 70 percent of packaged foods in the US are classified as UPFs and represent about 60percent of all calories consumed by Americans. Considering the degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines.” Facing such alarming data, maybe it’s time for Americans to reconsider their food choices. Researchers recommend taxes on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. They also support programs and policies to increase the availability and affordability of whole foods, especially among disadvantaged populations. 12. What do we know about UPFs? A. They have no nutritional value. B. They are ready-made and instant foods. C. They are cheap and mass-produced. D. They serve as additions to our daily diets. 13. What’s Eric Hecht’s attitude toward the new study? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Ambiguous. D. Doubtful. 14. What do researchers suggest doing? A. Collecting higher taxes on UPFs. B. Decreasing UPFs’ consumption in diet. C. Focusing on the nutrient content of foods. D. Increasing public awareness of whole foods. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Public Health Response to UPFs B. Physical Disorders Linked to UPFs C. Rising Consumption of UPFs in the US D. Negative Effects of UPFs on Mental Health 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 How to Overcome Procrastination Procrastination is one of those things that even the most well-organized and punctual fall victim to at some point or another.

With a heart full of hope and a mind eager to learn, Mary began her career at a local hospital, where every day was a new lesson in life and death. One sunny morning, Mary received an invitation to attend a cardiac arrest (心脏停搏) training course at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Excitement coursed through her veins as she prepared to join her colleagues in a simulation room designed to imitate the intensity of a real emergency. As they gathered, the atmosphere was a mix of nervous energy and focused determination. The training began with a lecture on the latest agreement for responding to cardiac arrests, the importance of every second in saving a life. Mary listened intently, her eyes wide with the gravity of the knowledge being shared. The hands-on practice was where Mary truly came alive. With each attempt, she felt her skills sharpening, her confidence growing. She learned the art of teamwork, the dance of life-saving measures that required understanding and precision. Her colleagues became her lifeline, and together they navigated the complexities of each situation. The training was not just about the physical act of saving a life; it was about the mental courage required to face the harsh realities of cardiac care. Mary understood that she would carry the weight of her patients’ lives in her hands, and the responsibility was not one to be taken lightly. As the day drew to a close, Mary felt a sense of accomplishment. She knew the road to becoming a cardiac care specialist was long and tough, but she was ready to face the challenges head-on. With each step, she was not just saving lives; she was fulfilling her destiny, one heartbeat at a time.
