(2025·深圳市第二次模拟考试)
I started walking backward for no apparent reason.I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward.Since I'd already started,I thought I could walk all the way home that way.After all,the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring.
The first problem was practical.Snow is a pain even for regular walking,so my paces lowed down considerably.At this different pace,life itself felt rushed in comparison.How silly it is that we're always in such a hurry to get somewhere.For example,I often arrive at places long after my body gets there.Sometimes I reach my daughters' school,but my mind is still at home,wondering whether I unplugged my wife's hair dryer.Walking backward,however,forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind.
The next thing had to do with vision.In regular walking,the path ahead is always visible.Here,you use other senses:you hear the car approaching,you sense the unevenness of the ground,and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow.You activate an entire set of skills we usually don't use because of our dependence on sight.This way,the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure,a discovery I hadn't anticipated.
Because of my addiction to foolish ideas,I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day.And I quickly realized something obvious:the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled.And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life:moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you've been,or how far you've come.Looking back is always good for self-value.There's no way to look at yesterday and not feel better:for the illness that didn't kill you,or the happy childhood days that still make you smile.

(2025·湖南省长郡中学月考)
After I discovered Diet Coke in 1982,I drank at least three 12-ounce cans nearly every day for the next four decades.I was the person who avoided certain airlines because they only served Pepsi.At various times I tried to stop,but I could never prevent myself from drinking it for longer than a week.
This year,something happened that changed everything.I had been feeling pain in the left side of my stomach for months,but doctors were unable to figure out the problem.At the same time,I began noticing that my beloved drink left an awful aftertaste I had never noticed before.In late June,after opening up my second can of the day,pains shot across my stomach,and that was my last soda.Just like that,I was done,after 39 years.Why did it take so long? Was I truly psychologically dependent,or was it simply a bad habit?
The American Psychiatric Association doesn't specifically list Diet Coke addiction.However,research indicates its addictive potential.Ashley Gearhardt at the University of Michigan points to the two“culprits”that can be found in Diet Coke:aspartame(阿斯巴甜)and caffeine.Aspartame,200 times sweeter than regular sugar,and caffeine work together to keep us desiring more.
As of now,I'm on Day 41 of being Diet Coke-free.The initial days were extremely difficult due to caffeine withdrawal,but I'm committed to maintaining this new lifestyle.My stomach hurts less,and my sweet tooth is not as persistent.I am quite pleased with myself for having altered a lifelong habit.If I can do this,I can do anything,even if it takes 40 years.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者40年来大量饮用可乐,后来因腹痛和可乐散发的异味戒掉了可乐,还收获了新感悟。
5.What can be inferred about the author from Paragraph 1?
A.Diet Coke was an inseparable part of his life.
B.He tried various ways to stop drinking Diet Coke.
C.Diet Coke was less popular before he discovered it.
D.He preferred to take flights which didn't offer Pepsi.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段“After I discovered Diet Coke in 1982,I drank at least three 12-ounce cans nearly every day for the next four decades.”可知,健怡可乐是他生活中不可分割的一部分,故选A。
6.What made the author decide to change?
A.The doctor's advice.
B.Pain and bad taste.
C.Persistent headaches.
D.Research on Diet Coke.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“I had been feeling pain in the left side of my stomach for months...In late June,after opening up my second can of the day,pains shot across my stomach,and that was my last soda.”可知,作者决定戒掉健怡可乐是因为腹部疼痛和饮料令人恶心的余味,故选B。
7.What can replace the underlined word“culprits”in Paragraph 3?
A.Criminals. B.Advocates.
C.Defenders. D.Sponsors.
答案:A

8.How does the author feel about giving up Diet Coke?
