2025年时文阅读096 Passage 1  UNICEF finds that more children are now obese than underweight 全球肥胖儿童数量首次超过体重不足儿童 词数 350  阅读时间 7分钟 For the first time, more children around the world are obese than underweight, according to a new report from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). While 9.2 percent of five to 19-year-olds around the world are underweight, 9.4 percent are considered obese, the report found. This means that almost one in 10 children is now obese. Back in 2000, only three percent of children were obese. Children are considered overweight when they are significantly heavier than a healthy weight for their age, gender and height. Obesity is a serious form of being overweight and is connected to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and certain cancers in later life, noted the BBC. Catherine Mary Russell, executive director of UNICEF, calls obesity a growing concern. "When we talk about malnutrition, we are no longer just talking about underweight children," she told The Guardian. According to the report, the diets of children and adolescents are packed with unhealthy foods and drinks, including ultra-processed food (UPF), which leads to obesity. According to the British Heart Foundation, UPFs are foods with many additives and ingredients not usually found in home cooking, such as preservatives and artificial flavors. They often last a long time without going bad and are high in saturated fat, salt and sugar. Ham, chips and biscuits are typical UPFs. Global sales of ultra-processed foods and drinks are increasing due to the rise of modern stores, online grocery stores and food delivery apps. In many countries such as the US, these foods tend to be cheaper than fresh options, in part because agricultural subsidies reduce the cost of their key ingredients like corn and soy. In addition, in poorer communities, stores often display unhealthy foods in noticeable places, such as at entrances, the report said. UNICEF has called for immediate actions to protect children's right to food and nutrition. Progress is being made in various regions. For example, the European Union's Schools4Health project is working with schools across Europe to promote healthy eating practices such as replacing snacks with fruits. In the US, at least 12 states have received federal approval to limit people in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program from using their benefits to buy ultra-processed foods like soda and candy. 词汇积累 1.pack v. 挤进，塞满 用法：pack作动词时也可指“打包，收拾（行李）” 同根词：package n. 包裹；包装 Fans packed the hall to see the band. 2.ingredient n. 成分，原料     用法：ingredient作名词时也可指“要素，因素”    The chef listed all the ingredients needed to make a cake.

Passage 2 National days prompt consideration of national identity and struggles 国庆节：国家象征与民族精神的融合 词数 373  阅读时间  6分钟 China's National Day, celebrated on Oct 1, usually kicks off a week filled with parades, parties, flag displays and fireworks to honor the founding of the People's Republic of China. This day holds deep importance, similar to how other countries recognize key dates in their histories. Almost every country has a national day. According to historian Samantha Owen at Curtin University in Australia, national days remind people of their "sense of belonging to the idea of a nation and what it represents". Many countries use their national days to commemorate significant moments of freedom or historical events, including victories and defeats. For example, the United States celebrates Independence Day on July 4, which marks the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Across the US, people come together to read the Declaration, reflecting on the ideas of equality, liberty and democracy. The day's historical importance is a source of national pride and a reminder of hard-won freedom for the US. France's National Day, Bastille Day, is celebrated on July 14. It honors the storming of the Bastille in 1789, a key event which led to the French Revolution, symbolizing the fight for freedom and the end of unfair rule. As a powerful reminder of France's commitment to liberty and democracy, a military parade is held every year on the Champs-Elysees Avenue in Paris. At night, fireworks light up the sky, and people enjoy traditional food in a festive environment. Some national days celebrate the birthday of a country's ruler. Thailand celebrates its National Day on Dec 5, which is also the birthday of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and the country's Father's Day. King Bhumibol is remembered for his efforts to improve the lives of Thai people through various farming and renewable energy projects. Yellow symbolizing loyalty and respect is tied to his birthday, and on this day, many wear bright yellow clothes to honor him. Families also hold ceremonies to show thanks to fathers and older family members. Though national days are established for different reasons, they are "an opportunity for people to celebrate their country's culture, history and achievements", noted Day Finder. 词汇积累 1. display n. 陈列，展览；表演 用法：on display 展览，公开展出；a fireworks display 烟火表演；display也可作动词，表示“展示，布置，排列” 近义词：exhibit, show, showcase, demonstrate There's an Egyptian art collection on display at the museum at the moment. 2. liberty n. 自由 用法；at liberty 自由的，不受限制的；civil liberty 公民自由 He firmly believes liberty is inseparable from social justice.

Passage 3 How your brain separates events to keep personal memories clear 科学家发现大脑“重启键” 词数 352  阅读时间 7分钟 What did you have for breakfast today? And how did you celebrate your last birthday? When you think back to these events, you're using episodic memory - the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up? Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the US believe this is thanks to a "memory reset button" in our brainstem. This small region, called the locus coeruleus, helps organize and separate our memories. In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner, they were shown a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, several simple tones were played over and over again, first in one ear and then in the other with a different pitch. The pitch change aimed to change the context and create an event boundary. According to a previous study by Kansas State University in the US, event boundaries help the brain organize episodic memory by changing our perception and attention. Ever walked into a room and suddenly forgot why? That's an event boundary - entering or exiting a room - at work. After the experiment, scientists tested how well the volunteers could recall the order of the pictures. The result showed that it was harder to do when the series of pictures crossed an event boundary. This suggests that changes in sound made the brain store memories separately. What's more, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise. Earlier research showed that the hippocampus, another brain region, helps shape episodic memory by both linking events close together in time and separating those further apart. But what tells the hippocampus when to change modes? MRI scans suggest that "the locus coeruleus may provide the critical 'start' signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, 'Hey, we're in a new event now'," said Lila Davachi, one of the researchers. The new understanding could lead to better treatments for memory-related problems like Alzheimer's disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls. 词汇积累 1. recall v. 回忆起，回想起 用法：recall作动词也可指“使想到，勾起”； recall也可作名词，表示“记忆力，记性” Can you recall what happened last night? 2. boundary n. 边界，界线，分界线 常用语块：national boundaries 国界 The river forms a natural boundary between the two countries. 3. mode n. 方式，方法，模式 常用语块：a mode of communication 交流方式； a mode of behavior 行为模式 Try to get out of this mode of thinking. 长难句分析 What's more, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise. 分析： ① 本句的主句为：MRI scans showed that ...，that引导宾语从句； ② when引导状语从句； ③ 划线部分为省略结构，not so much指代not (became) so highly active, otherwise指代 when event boundaries did not appear。 释义：此外，核磁共振扫描显示，当事件边界出现时，蓝斑核会变得高度活跃，但在其他情况下则不然。 阅读理解 1.

Passage 3 Seeing through the lens  词数 372  建议阅读时间  6分钟 One place I love to visit the most is the British Museum - not only for its peaceful reading room or historic treasures, but also for the beautifully filtered sky above. Time seems to stand still under that enormous glass roof, blocking out everyday noise and framing only what feels significant. With each step around the courtyard, it's as if there's a different perspective on reality. Of course, I can't always travel to London whenever I need to take a step back and see the bigger picture or poetically consider a different angle on a situation. But I can find the same sense of vastness closer to home - especially when looking at the sky. After all, a night under the stars is enough to remind us that the world is larger than our daily concerns. Whether it's through the little routines in our lives or by re-connecting with our core values, getting a broader perspective on things is well within our grasp. So, what exactly is perspective? Perspective shapes how we respond to situations. The "glass half-full or half-empty" analogy is a common example of how people can view the same thing differently. But it goes beyond optimists and pessimists. A sceptic might question what's in the glass, while a physicist focuses on the matter, or an artist sees a tool to create. Perspective is our overall viewpoint on life, often shaped by values and past experiences. To broaden it, we need to step back and see the context - especially when trying to understand others. Perception, however, is our inner lens - how we interpret the world through our senses in the moment. For example, if you read someone's body language and tone of voice as welcoming, you form an immediate feeling of friendliness. Understanding our perceptions and perspectives can help us identify underlying biases and limiting ideas, which is essential for building stronger relationships and making better decisions. Developing the ability to "zoom out" in difficult times can help us face challenges more calmly. It may be tricky at first, but shifting from narrow thinking to a wider outlook can open up exciting possibilities. 阅读理解 1. Why does the author mention the British Museum at the beginning? A. To share her past travel experience. B. To recommend it as a tourist destination. C. To introduce the concept of gaining new perspectives. D. To stress the role of historical treasures in shaping views. 2. How does the author explain "perspective" in paragraph 6? A. By giving an example. B. By making a comparison. C. By stating arguments. D. By presenting a theory. 3. What does the author suggest we do to broaden our perspectives? A. Focus on major issues. B. Look at situations as a whole. C. Visit famous attractions regularly. D. Meet people from different places. 4. What does the author see as the benefit of understanding our perceptions and perspectives? A. Increasing personal happiness. B. Avoiding challenging situations. C. Enhancing creativity and expression. D. Improving relationships and decision-making. Passage 5 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。 Cheap and often poorly made, many low-cost electronics end up discarded in the trash or forgotten in a drawer. 1            . Items like mini-fans, portable chargers, and LED toilet seats are often bought for just a few pounds. However, behind these bargain prices lies a growing problem: many of these products are hard to repair, not recycled, and quickly thrown away. Electronic waste is one of the world's fastest-growing waste streams, and experts say fast tech is playing an increasingly significant role. In the UK, it is estimated that more than 1.14 billion of these small electronic devices are bought a year.          2        . "We've had fast food and fast fashion, and we're now in the age of fast tech," said Scott Butler, executive director of Material Focus. " 3            , but we are concerned about the flood of low-quality, cheap products that end up unused or in the bin." Fast tech is seen as disposable by more than a third of British, according to a survey. 4            . "It might be cheap but it's not disposable," Butler explained. "Anything with a plug, battery or cable should never be binned. They're full of useful metals and can be used again." Although the amount of fast tech on the market is unlikely to decline soon, Butler says it is crucial to change our thinking about it. "Just be a bit more mindful about what you buy, how you use it, and what you do with it when you no longer need it. 5            ," he said. A. We're not against technology B. This is, in part, due to the low price point C. Never throw it away when it no longer works D. Tackling fast tech requires 'thinking differently' E. We have never had throwaway technology like this before F. However, about half are disposed of within the same period G. This trend, known as "fast tech", is becoming more common 参考答案 Passage 1 阅读理解 1-4 DABC Passage 2 阅读理解 1-3 BBC Passage 3 阅读理解 1-4 DCAB Passage 4 阅读理解 1-4 CABD Passage 5 1-5 GFABC 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
