It was at a community meeting of women. I was comfortable as we visited and shared stories. And then, the hostess handed us each a piece of paper and a pencil and asked us to write down our New Year’s resolution.
My pencil wouldn’t write. Those around me smiled and wrote non-stop. I was blank and confused. I thought about my everyday life. Sometimes I am really tired and often wish there were more minutes in a day. I love my job and my family and friends. I work out and volunteer in the schools, in the community and for many organizations.
Everyone smiled as they placed their well-chosen words into a basket. My face turned red — I knew I had to write something. This same group of women promised to look at these resolutions at the same party, same place, same time… next year. So in a rush I wrote something down, folded it and folded it again, and put it in the basket.
“Say no.” That was all I wrote down.
That was the best resolution I had ever made. And, I kept it! I realized on that warm winter day that I had participated in a lot of ineffective socializing. I realized that I had stopped reading books, watching my favourite shows on television, baking fresh bread, or sitting on the couch relaxing. I resolved that I could still give to others, lead my busy fulfilling life, and also save time for myself.
Each woman left with a colorful sparkly hat to wear on New Year’s Eve and a hug for happiness in the New Year. I left, feeling heavy and wondering what they would think of me in one year when the paper with my brief words was unfolded.
On the way home, enjoying the birds singing and observing the colorful trees lining the street, I realized that it didn’t matter. What mattered was, for once, me taking care of me. I even said it out loud, “I need to take care of me!”
4. What were the women required to do at the meeting?
A. Recall their past experiences. B. Analyze their present situation.
C. Make decisions about their future. D. Find solutions to their problems.
5. How did the author feel before she wrote something?
A. Excited. B. Embarrassed. C. Surprised. D. Confident.
6. What will the author focus on in her life?
A. Social activities. B. Recharging and relaxing.
C. Wealth creation. D. Struggling and exploring.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote the value of volunteering. B. To emphasize the function of socializing.
C. To prove the benefits of relaxing oneself. D. To stress the necessity of having me-time.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D
【解析】

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“I resolved that I could still give to others, lead my busy fulfilling life, and also save time for myself.(我决心我仍然可以给予他人,过忙碌而充实的生活,同时也给自己留出时间)”以及最后一段“What mattered was, for once, me taking care of me.

“Being honest is a characteristic of Finnish culture— at least if we compare it to other cultures,” said Johannes Kananen, a lecturer at the Swedish School of Science at the University of Helsinki. “In English there is a saying that the truth is so valuable that it should be used sparingly. But in Finland, people speak the truth all the time.”
A few years ago, Reader’s Digest did a “Lost Wallet Test”, where their reporters “lost” 192wallets in cities across the world. Each wallet had $50 with contact information, family photos and business cards. Eleven out of every 12 wallets dropped in Helsinki, the Finnish capital, were returned to their owners, making it the most “honest” city of those tested.
“Truthfulness and honesty are greatly valued and respected,” Kananen said. He cites the example of the scandal (丑闻) that hit Finnish skiers when Finland hosted the FIS Nordic Ski Championship in 2001. Six top Finnish athletes got caught doping (服兴奋剂) and were disqualified. The scandal was covered in the national press as a matter of public shame, and there was a sense of collective embarrassment in the country.
“For the Finns, the worst thing about the doping scandal was not, however, the scandal itself,” reports an article published in The International Journal of the History of Sport. “The worst thing was that, along with the façade (假象) of honesty in sports in general, the myth of the honest, hardworking Finn came crashing down.”
Often, though, it comes down to simple matters of size. Gokul Srinivasan, a robotics engineer and entrepreneur living in Helsinki, explained that in a small community if someone is caught lying once, they won’t be considered trustworthy again. Though Finland is nearly three times bigger than England, it has just one-tenth its population—with most of the country’s 5.5 million residents concentrated in the urban centres in the south. As a result, there is a good chance that people in a specific field already know of each other.
8. What does the English saying probably mean?
A. Honesty is the best policy. B. The truth is hard to accept.
C. Tell the truth only when necessary. D. Try to be as honest as possible.
9. Why did Reader’s Digest organize the test?
A. To prove that Helsinki is the safest city. B. To encourage people to return lost items.
C. To compare honest levels in different cities. D. To know how people react to their lost wallets.
10. What did the Finns think of the doping incident?
A. It hurt their national pride. B. It was overstated by the media.
C. It destroyed the athletes’ health. D. It showed the need for stricter drug tests.
11. What does Gokul Srinivasan want to emphasize in the last paragraph?
A. The uneven distribution of Finland’s population. B. The advantages of living in a small community.
C. The differences between Finland and England. D. The reason for the Finns appreciating honesty.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍芬兰文化中对诚实的高度重视,通过“丢失钱包测试”、芬兰滑雪运动员兴奋剂丑闻等事例,阐述芬兰人对诚实的看重,还从芬兰人口规模角度分析芬兰人重视诚实的原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In English there is a saying that the truth is so valuable that it should be used sparingly. But in Finland, people speak the truth all the time.(英语中有句谚语,实话如此珍贵,应该谨慎使用。但在芬兰,人们总是讲真话)”可知,这句英语谚语意思与芬兰人总是讲真话形成对比,所以它可能意味着只在必要时讲真话,故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A few years ago, Reader’s Digest did a “Lost Wallet Test”, where their reporters “lost” 192wallets in cities across the world. Each wallet had $50 with contact information, family photos and business cards. Eleven out of every 12 wallets dropped in Helsinki, the Finnish capital, were returned to their owners, making it the most “honest” city of those tested.(几年前,《读者文摘》开展了一项 丢失钱包测试:记者们在全球各大城市 “丢失” 了 192 个钱包。每个钱包里都装有50美元现金、联系方式、家庭照片和名片。 在芬兰首都赫尔辛基 ,每12个被丢弃的钱包中就有11个被归还给失主,这使其成为所有测试城市中 最 “诚信”的城市。)”可知,该测试在世界各地城市进行,结合测试结果中不同城市归还钱包的比例不同,可推断《读者文摘》组织这个测试是为了比较不同城市的诚实程度,故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““For the Finns, the worst thing about the doping scandal was not, however, the scandal itself,” reports an article published in The International Journal of the History of Sport.The worst thing was that, along with the façade (假象) of honesty in sports in general, the myth of the honest, hardworking Finn came crashing down.(然而,发表在《国际体育史期刊》上的一篇文章报道称:对芬兰人来说,这起兴奋剂丑闻最糟糕的地方并非丑闻本身。最糟糕的是,随着体育界普遍存在的诚实假象的破灭,芬兰人诚实、勤劳的神话也破灭了)”可知,芬兰人认为兴奋剂丑闻破坏了芬兰人诚实的形象,这伤害了他们的民族自豪感,故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gokul Srinivasan, a robotics engineer and entrepreneur living in Helsinki, explained that in a small community if someone is caught lying once, they won’t be considered trustworthy again.Though Finland is nearly three times bigger than England, it has just one-tenth its population—with most of the country’s 5.5 million residents concentrated in the urban centres in the south. As a result, there is a good chance that people in a specific field already know of each other.(住在赫尔辛基的机器人工程师兼企业家戈库尔·斯里尼瓦桑解释说,在一个小社区里,如果有人被发现说谎一次,他们就不会再被认为值得信任。芬兰的面积几乎是英格兰的三倍,但人口却只有英格兰的十分之一—— 该国550万居民中,大多数都集中在南部的城市中心。 因此,同一领域的人很有可能早就互相认识。)”可知,戈库尔·斯里尼瓦桑想强调的是在芬兰这样人口相对集中的小社会环境下,说谎会严重影响个人信誉,这就是芬兰人重视诚实的原因,故选D项。
D
In Somerville, Massachusetts just outside of Boston, everyone has a horror story about the rats (老鼠) .
Adaline Lining says they ruined her Christmas last year. She had received a delivery of Bartlett pears. “There were rats inside the box feasting on my Christmas pears. They are directly responsible for ruining Christmas,” she says. Then there’s Donene Williams who says that a couple years back, rats got under her deck, chewed through the subfloor, and nested in the insulation. And Andrew Jefferies can’t forget the noises he heard at his last apartment.
Now, the city of Somerville is trying to control these rats by introducing a safer form of rat birth control. Rats aren’t just annoying. They cause real problems. Rats can carry diseases, and they are also one of the leading causes of property damage. That’s because they chew through wires, fencing, decks, and even cinderblock.
Public servants Privett and Lipson have thrown all sorts of things at the problem, trying to keep rat numbers down. But homeowners and renters don’t always follow best practices like improving sanitation (卫生措施) and reducing the animals’ shelter and food options. Even attempts at poisoning can backfire when pets or birds of prey eat the rats or the poison and get sick or die.
For all these reasons, Somerville is trying something else — an anti-fertility (抑制生殖) chemical that targets the mature eggs in female rats. “It basically stops the pregnancy before it starts,” says Lipson, who’s overseeing the field trial of the product at several sites in Cambridge and Somerville.
The goal, however, is not to get rid of them completely. “That is not going to happen,” he says. “The birth control doesn’t lead to permanent infertility. Rather, the chemical acts on the rats only while it’s circulating in the bloodstream.” The idea is that if the overall population can be lowered, other efforts to minimize rat activity will be more successful.
At the very least, people who have tried this method will help encourage their neighbors to take other measures that help reduce rat numbers. “We really want to raise levels of knowledge and consciousness among residents and property owners,” Lipson adds. “When the level of discussion around rat control goes up, we expect there to be greater motivation to do the right thing.”
12. Why are the three people mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To demonstrate the trouble rats have caused for people.
B. To present people’s different attitudes towards rats.
C. To show the poor living conditions in Somerville.
D. To illustrate the reasons for rats’ frequent visits.
13. What does the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Be beneficial. B. Be harmful. C. Be necessary. D. Be possible.
14. What does Lipson appeal for in the last paragraph?
A. Individual donations. B. Government support.
C. More effective solutions. D. Growing public awareness.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Massachusetts City Aims to Remove Rats
B. Public Servants Try to Control Rat Population
C. Too Many Rats? Birth Control Is One City’s Answer
D. Tired of Rats? A Chemical Will Kill Them for Good
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍马萨诸塞州萨默维尔市老鼠泛滥的问题、危害,以及该市采用老鼠节育方式控制数量的举措和目标。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Adaline Lining says they ruined her Christmas last year. She had received a delivery of Bartlett pears. “There were rats inside the box feasting on my Christmas pears. They are directly responsible for ruining Christmas,” she says. Then there’s Donene Williams who says that a couple years back, rats got under her deck, chewed through the subfloor, and nested in the insulation. And Andrew Jefferies can’t forget the noises he heard at his last apartment.(阿达琳·林宁说它们毁了她去年的圣诞节。她收到了一箱巴特利特梨。“盒子里有老鼠在啃我的圣诞梨。它们是毁了圣诞节的直接原因,”她说。还有多内恩·威廉姆斯,她说几年前,老鼠钻进了她的露台下面,咬穿了底层地板,在保温层里筑巢。安德鲁·杰弗里斯忘不了他在上一个公寓里听到的噪音)”可知,文中提到三个人的经历,分别讲述老鼠毁了圣诞节、破坏房屋和制造噪音,目的是证明老鼠给人们带来的麻烦。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Even attempts at poisoning can backfire when pets or birds of prey eat the rats or the poison and get sick or die.(当宠物或猛禽吃掉老鼠或毒药而生病或死亡时,即使是投毒的尝试也可能会backfire)”可知,投毒本是为了控制老鼠,但却导致其他动物伤亡,产生了负面效果,由此猜测backfire意为“产生不良后果、适得其反”,与Be harmful(有害的)意思相近。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““We really want to raise levels of knowledge and consciousness among residents and property owners,” Lipson adds. “When the level of discussion around rat control goes up, we expect there to be greater motivation to do the right thing.”(“我们真的想提高居民和业主的知识水平和意识,”利普森补充道。“当关于老鼠控制的讨论增多时,我们期望人们有更大的动力去做正确的事情。”)”可知,利普森呼吁提高公众对老鼠控制的意识。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第三段中“Now, the city of Somerville is trying to control these rats by introducing a safer form of rat birth control.(现在,萨默维尔市正试图通过引入一种更安全的老鼠节育方式来控制这些老鼠)”可知,文章开篇介绍萨默维尔市老鼠泛滥的问题,随后说明传统控制方法的不足,重点讲述该市采用老鼠节育化学药剂来控制老鼠数量的举措、原理和目标,核心围绕“老鼠泛滥的解决方案——节育”展开。C项“老鼠太多?节育是一座城市的答案”准确概括文章核心内容,适合作本文标题。故选C项。
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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You’ll only get the good results from your exercise if you rest well and eat healthy food. The health industry wants to sell you many products to help with this, like fitness tools and nutrition pills. ____16____
Rest is the most important thing for recovering from exercise and daily life, and sleep is the key to rest. ____17____ Studies show that people who sleep and get up at the same time every day sleep better and feel more energetic. This is because your bodies work on a 24-hour cycle. If this cycle is broken, you may get sick more easily or feel bad mentally.
Most experts advise you not to eat processed and overly-packaged prepared foods, which often makes eating feel like a chore. ____18____ So stop eating these foods. Instead, eat more vegetables, grains, meat, fish or plant-based proteins that you like and that are fresh.
____19____ Researchers compared two diets: one with processed foods (factory-made, ready-to-eat food) and one with natural whole foods. The two diets had the same nutrients, but people who ate processed foods for two weeks gained weight. A better way is to eat natural, unprocessed foods to feel full and satisfied. The study found people thought both foods tasted good, but still ate more processed foods without realizing it.
The good news is that natural whole foods can taste really good if you cook them simply. Zachary Knight, a professor who studies hunger, says, “Arrange your life so you don’t have to always see processed food and try hard to say no to them.” ____20____ That way, natural whole foods will become easy snacks.
A. However, it’s best to start with some basics.
B. Have more processed foods when you are sleepy.
C. And a foundation for better rest is, simply, routine.
D. One landmark study provides some insight as to why.
E. Whole foods diet is not so reasonable in some studies.
F. Besides, prepared foods may disturb your sense of hunger.
G. That means we had better have healthier foods close at hand.
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. F 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了健身恢复中睡眠和饮食的重要性,强调了规律作息和健康饮食的好处。
【16题详解】
根据上文“You’ll only get the good results from your exercise if you rest well and eat healthy food. The health industry wants to sell you many products to help with this, like fitness tools and nutrition pills.(只有充分休息并摄入健康食物,你的锻炼才能取得良好的效果。健康行业为了满足这一需求,推出了许多产品,比如健身器材和营养补剂)”可知,上文提及健身需休息和健康饮食,健康行业借此售卖健身工具、营养补剂等产品;下文转而介绍休息、饮食相关的基础方法。选项A“但是,最好先从一些基础知识开始学习”以 However表转折,“最好从一些基础的方法做起”承接上文,自然引出下文的核心内容,实现话题的合理过渡。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Studies show that people who sleep and get up at the same time every day sleep better and feel more energetic. This is because your bodies work on a 24-hour cycle. If this cycle is broken, you may get sick more easily or feel bad mentally.(研究表明,每天固定时间睡觉和起床的人睡眠质量更好,精力也更充沛。这是因为人体遵循着24小时的生理周期运作。如果这个周期被打乱,你可能会更容易生病,或者精神状态也会不佳)”可知,下文核心内容为“每天按时睡觉、起床的人睡眠质量更好、更有活力”,围绕“规律作息”展开;选项C“要获得更好的休息,其基础就在于规律作息”中的“routine (规律作息) ”与下文“sleep and get up at the same time every day”呼应,点明优质休息的核心是规律作息,总起下文内容。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据后文“So stop eating these foods. Instead, eat more vegetables, grains, meat, fish or plant-based proteins that you like and that are fresh.(所以,请停止食用这些食物。取而代之的是,多吃一些你喜欢的、新鲜的蔬菜、谷物、肉类、鱼类或植物性蛋白质食品)”可知,下文出现指代词“these foods”,且提出“停止食用这类食物”的建议;选项F“此外,加工食品可能会扰乱你的饥饿感”中的“prepared foods (预制食品) ”明确了“these foods”的指代对象,同时解释了预制食品会扰乱饥饿感的弊端,为下文“停止食用”提供原因,因果逻辑通顺。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Researchers compared two diets: one with processed foods (factory-made, ready-to-eat food) and one with natural whole foods. The two diets had the same nutrients, but people who ate processed foods for two weeks gained weight. A better way is to eat natural, unprocessed foods to feel full and satisfied. The study found people thought both foods tasted good, but still ate more processed foods without realizing it.(研究人员对两种饮食进行了比较:一种是含有加工食品(工厂生产的、现成可食用的食品)的饮食,另一种是含有天然完整食物的饮食。这两种饮食所含的营养成分相同,但食用加工食品两周后,体重有所增加。更好的做法是食用天然、未经加工的食物,这样能让人感到饱足和满足。研究发现,人们都认为这两种食物味道都很好,但还是不知不觉地多吃了加工食品)”可知,下文详细介绍了对比加工食品和全食物饮食的具体研究;选项D“一项具有里程碑意义的研究为我们揭示了其中的原因”中的“One landmark study”直接引出下文的研究内容,“why”指代上文“为何要少吃加工食品、多吃全食物食品”的问题,起到承上启下的作用。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文“The good news is that natural whole foods can taste really good if you cook them simply. Zachary Knight, a professor who studies hunger, says, “Arrange your life so you don’t have to always see processed food and try hard to say no to them.”(好消息是,如果简单地烹饪天然的全食物,它们的味道会非常美味。研究饥饿问题的教授扎卡里·奈特说:“调整你的生活方式,让自己不必总是看到加工食品,并努力拒绝它们。”)”以及后文“That way, natural whole foods will become easy snacks.(这样一来,天然的全食物就会成为方便的小吃)”可知,上文是教授提出的“合理安排生活,避免接触并抗拒加工食品”的抽象建议,下文提及“天然全食物能成为便捷的零食”;选项G“这意味着我们最好将更健康的食物放在随手可得的地方”中的“That”指代上文教授的建议,“随手备好健康的食物”将抽象建议转化为具体可操作的方法,且与下文“天然食物成便捷零食”形成内容呼应。故选G。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sure, as a child, I made mud patties and loved to play in the sandbox and build sandcastles at the beach, but at fifty-three years old I couldn’t imagine myself playing in the dirt, much less mud. The thought of getting wet in mud and struggling through obstacles felt daunting (使人畏惧的) and far from my daily routine.
It started so casually. Six months earlier, while we were warming up for a workout, the trainer at my gym announced that she was signing up for the Mud Girl Run, a 5km obstacle race dedicated to women, with money going to breast cancer research. She asked if anyone wanted to join her team.
I really didn’t know much about it. My first response was just to keep my head down, as clearly she wasn’t directing the question at me. After all, I complained each time we were told to run a simple lap in the parking lot. Obviously, she didn’t care that I was ignoring the conversation because suddenly she singled me out, directly asking if I was going to sign up.
My response was, “I’ll have to check my calendar.”
After being a member of her gym for over a year, she seemed to know me too well and replied, “You don’t have anything on your calendar six months from now. Didn’t you just tell me you were working on a book about getting out of your comfort zone and saying yes to new opportunities?”
She had a point, and I did envy those who were willing to commit to trying new things. Still, I spent the next few months coming up with every excuse I could to cancel. It was around the same time that a magazine had scheduled a Get Out of Your Comfort Zone online party, during which story contributors would meet each other online. I would attend the party since I was a regular contributor to it.
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。
During the party, the contributors began to share the new things they tried.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day of the race came and I got up very early in the morning.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 During the party, the contributors began to share the new things they tried. One learned rock climbing in her fifties despite a fear of heights, and another took up painting even though she thought she had no talent. All of them talked about the fear at first, and also the joy of pushing past it. Listening to their stories, I felt ashamed. I’d been writing about stepping out of the comfort zone, yet I was scared of a little mud. Their courage touched me, and I messaged my trainer right then: I’m in for the Mud Girl Run. It wasn’t just a race — it was exactly the challenge I needed to walk the talk.
The day of the race came and I got up very early in the morning. Arriving at the race, I could not help but feel the excitement of being a part of a group of crazy women. My trainer waved me over, and as I joined the crowd, my fear softened. The race began! I climbed, crawled, and pulled myself through each obstacle. Every time I completed one, I felt a new strength growing inside me. When I finally saw the finish line, a wave of excitement washed over me. I made it! At fifty-three, I rediscovered the joy of playing and found a fiercer self, proving that the greatest adventures lie just outside our comfort zone.

It was at a community meeting of women. I was comfortable as we visited and shared stories. And then, the hostess handed us each a piece of paper and a pencil and asked us to write down our New Year’s resolution.
My pencil wouldn’t write. Those around me smiled and wrote non-stop. I was blank and confused. I thought about my everyday life. Sometimes I am really tired and often wish there were more minutes in a day. I love my job and my family and friends. I work out and volunteer in the schools, in the community and for many organizations.
Everyone smiled as they placed their well-chosen words into a basket. My face turned red — I knew I had to write something. This same group of women promised to look at these resolutions at the same party, same place, same time… next year. So in a rush I wrote something down, folded it and folded it again, and put it in the basket.
“Say no.” That was all I wrote down.
That was the best resolution I had ever made. And, I kept it! I realized on that warm winter day that I had participated in a lot of ineffective socializing. I realized that I had stopped reading books, watching my favourite shows on television, baking fresh bread, or sitting on the couch relaxing. I resolved that I could still give to others, lead my busy fulfilling life, and also save time for myself.
Each woman left with a colorful sparkly hat to wear on New Year’s Eve and a hug for happiness in the New Year. I left, feeling heavy and wondering what they would think of me in one year when the paper with my brief words was unfolded.
On the way home, enjoying the birds singing and observing the colorful trees lining the street, I realized that it didn’t matter. What mattered was, for once, me taking care of me. I even said it out loud, “I need to take care of me!”

“Being honest is a characteristic of Finnish culture— at least if we compare it to other cultures,” said Johannes Kananen, a lecturer at the Swedish School of Science at the University of Helsinki. “In English there is a saying that the truth is so valuable that it should be used sparingly. But in Finland, people speak the truth all the time.”
A few years ago, Reader’s Digest did a “Lost Wallet Test”, where their reporters “lost” 192wallets in cities across the world. Each wallet had $50 with contact information, family photos and business cards. Eleven out of every 12 wallets dropped in Helsinki, the Finnish capital, were returned to their owners, making it the most “honest” city of those tested.
“Truthfulness and honesty are greatly valued and respected,” Kananen said. He cites the example of the scandal (丑闻) that hit Finnish skiers when Finland hosted the FIS Nordic Ski Championship in 2001. Six top Finnish athletes got caught doping (服兴奋剂) and were disqualified. The scandal was covered in the national press as a matter of public shame, and there was a sense of collective embarrassment in the country.
“For the Finns, the worst thing about the doping scandal was not, however, the scandal itself,” reports an article published in The International Journal of the History of Sport. “The worst thing was that, along with the façade (假象) of honesty in sports in general, the myth of the honest, hardworking Finn came crashing down.”
Often, though, it comes down to simple matters of size. Gokul Srinivasan, a robotics engineer and entrepreneur living in Helsinki, explained that in a small community if someone is caught lying once, they won’t be considered trustworthy again. Though Finland is nearly three times bigger than England, it has just one-tenth its population—with most of the country’s 5.5 million residents concentrated in the urban centres in the south. As a result, there is a good chance that people in a specific field already know of each other.
8. What does the English saying probably mean?
A. Honesty is the best policy. B. The truth is hard to accept.
C. Tell the truth only when necessary. D. Try to be as honest as possible.
9. Why did Reader’s Digest organize the test?
A. To prove that Helsinki is the safest city. B. To encourage people to return lost items.
C. To compare honest levels in different cities. D. To know how people react to their lost wallets.
10. What did the Finns think of the doping incident?
A. It hurt their national pride. B. It was overstated by the media.
C. It destroyed the athletes’ health. D. It showed the need for stricter drug tests.
11. What does Gokul Srinivasan want to emphasize in the last paragraph?
A. The uneven distribution of Finland’s population. B. The advantages of living in a small community.
C. The differences between Finland and England. D. The reason for the Finns appreciating honesty.
D
In Somerville, Massachusetts just outside of Boston, everyone has a horror story about the rats (老鼠) .
Adaline Lining says they ruined her Christmas last year. She had received a delivery of Bartlett pears. “There were rats inside the box feasting on my Christmas pears. They are directly responsible for ruining Christmas,” she says. Then there’s Donene Williams who says that a couple years back, rats got under her deck, chewed through the subfloor, and nested in the insulation. And Andrew Jefferies can’t forget the noises he heard at his last apartment.
Now, the city of Somerville is trying to control these rats by introducing a safer form of rat birth control. Rats aren’t just annoying. They cause real problems. Rats can carry diseases, and they are also one of the leading causes of property damage. That’s because they chew through wires, fencing, decks, and even cinderblock.
Public servants Privett and Lipson have thrown all sorts of things at the problem, trying to keep rat numbers down. But homeowners and renters don’t always follow best practices like improving sanitation (卫生措施) and reducing the animals’ shelter and food options. Even attempts at poisoning can backfire when pets or birds of prey eat the rats or the poison and get sick or die.
For all these reasons, Somerville is trying something else — an anti-fertility (抑制生殖) chemical that targets the mature eggs in female rats. “It basically stops the pregnancy before it starts,” says Lipson, who’s overseeing the field trial of the product at several sites in Cambridge and Somerville.
The goal, however, is not to get rid of them completely. “That is not going to happen,” he says. “The birth control doesn’t lead to permanent infertility. Rather, the chemical acts on the rats only while it’s circulating in the bloodstream.” The idea is that if the overall population can be lowered, other efforts to minimize rat activity will be more successful.
At the very least, people who have tried this method will help encourage their neighbors to take other measures that help reduce rat numbers. “We really want to raise levels of knowledge and consciousness among residents and property owners,” Lipson adds. “When the level of discussion around rat control goes up, we expect there to be greater motivation to do the right thing.”
12. Why are the three people mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To demonstrate the trouble rats have caused for people.
B. To present people’s different attitudes towards rats.
C. To show the poor living conditions in Somerville.
D. To illustrate the reasons for rats’ frequent visits.
13. What does the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Be beneficial. B. Be harmful. C. Be necessary. D. Be possible.
14. What does Lipson appeal for in the last paragraph?
A. Individual donations. B. Government support.
C. More effective solutions. D. Growing public awareness.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Massachusetts City Aims to Remove Rats
B. Public Servants Try to Control Rat Population
C. Too Many Rats? Birth Control Is One City’s Answer
D. Tired of Rats? A Chemical Will Kill Them for Good

You’ll only get the good results from your exercise if you rest well and eat healthy food. The health industry wants to sell you many products to help with this, like fitness tools and nutrition pills. ____16____
Rest is the most important thing for recovering from exercise and daily life, and sleep is the key to rest. ____17____ Studies show that people who sleep and get up at the same time every day sleep better and feel more energetic. This is because your bodies work on a 24-hour cycle. If this cycle is broken, you may get sick more easily or feel bad mentally.
Most experts advise you not to eat processed and overly-packaged prepared foods, which often makes eating feel like a chore. ____18____ So stop eating these foods. Instead, eat more vegetables, grains, meat, fish or plant-based proteins that you like and that are fresh.
____19____ Researchers compared two diets: one with processed foods (factory-made, ready-to-eat food) and one with natural whole foods. The two diets had the same nutrients, but people who ate processed foods for two weeks gained weight. A better way is to eat natural, unprocessed foods to feel full and satisfied. The study found people thought both foods tasted good, but still ate more processed foods without realizing it.
The good news is that natural whole foods can taste really good if you cook them simply. Zachary Knight, a professor who studies hunger, says, “Arrange your life so you don’t have to always see processed food and try hard to say no to them.” ____20____ That way, natural whole foods will become easy snacks.
A. However, it’s best to start with some basics.
B. Have more processed foods when you are sleepy.
C. And a foundation for better rest is, simply, routine.
D. One landmark study provides some insight as to why.
E. Whole foods diet is not so reasonable in some studies.
F. Besides, prepared foods may disturb your sense of hunger.
G. That means we had better have healthier foods close at hand.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sure, as a child, I made mud patties and loved to play in the sandbox and build sandcastles at the beach, but at fifty-three years old I couldn’t imagine myself playing in the dirt, much less mud. The thought of getting wet in mud and struggling through obstacles felt daunting (使人畏惧的) and far from my daily routine.
It started so casually. Six months earlier, while we were warming up for a workout, the trainer at my gym announced that she was signing up for the Mud Girl Run, a 5km obstacle race dedicated to women, with money going to breast cancer research. She asked if anyone wanted to join her team.
I really didn’t know much about it. My first response was just to keep my head down, as clearly she wasn’t directing the question at me. After all, I complained each time we were told to run a simple lap in the parking lot. Obviously, she didn’t care that I was ignoring the conversation because suddenly she singled me out, directly asking if I was going to sign up.
My response was, “I’ll have to check my calendar.”
After being a member of her gym for over a year, she seemed to know me too well and replied, “You don’t have anything on your calendar six months from now. Didn’t you just tell me you were working on a book about getting out of your comfort zone and saying yes to new opportunities?”
She had a point, and I did envy those who were willing to commit to trying new things. Still, I spent the next few months coming up with every excuse I could to cancel. It was around the same time that a magazine had scheduled a Get Out of Your Comfort Zone online party, during which story contributors would meet each other online. I would attend the party since I was a regular contributor to it.
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。
During the party, the contributors began to share the new things they tried.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day of the race came and I got up very early in the morning.
