If you’re looking to start the new year with a healthier relationship with food, I’ve got some diet resolutions for you. Let’s dive right into it and make this year the healthiest one yet! Drink more water Drinking enough water can make a big difference for your health. Aim for between 2.5 and 3.5 liters per day, and more if you work out. Leave a water bottle by your bedside and take a few sips when you wake up, or make a cup of herbal tea before you sit down at your desk. 1 , try adding in something more interesting like lemon juice. Sneak in more fiber Fiber is the material in plant-based foods our body’s can’t digest. For a long time, scientists thought of it as junk. 2 . In plants, fiber acts like a capsule for the nutrients the body uses, like sugar and fat, making it harder for our body to absorb them. So when we eat fiber-rich food, our body can absorb those nutrients more slowly and feel full for longer. 3 It’s easy, fun and, as an added bonus, may have health benefits. People who cook at home tend to have better overall health and closer personal relationships. To maximize its positive effects, take the time to enjoy meals. This means sharing the food with your family or enjoying the dishes you’ve prepared for yourself. 4 . Enjoy the food 5 . Otherwise, they won’t be sustainable. Don’t force yourself to drink water when you want a soda. Don’t force yourself to eat vegetables you dislike. Don’t expect yourself to cook meals if you come home exhausted.

But while we’re putting on warm clothes, 1 British brand Joules has teamed up with cleaning expert Sarah Dempsey to dish out some top tips on coat care. Surprisingly, a study by Joules found that 20 per cent of Brits only give their coats a wash once annually. 2 Sarah isn’t shocked though; she knows coat cleaning can be tricky. 3 We should consider the material, colour, fibre content, how frequently we wear it and how it’s been stored since it was last worn. As we tend to wear layers in the winter and our coats are the outermost layer, they will be affected by the weather, getting wet in the rain, and picking up pollutants and dirt through wear over the season. 4 For wool coats, Sarah suggests one cleaning session per season, which can be done when you bring your coat out for winter. She explains, “Wool is described as a self-cleaning material as it contains keratin (角蛋白), which kills odour-causing bacteria. If your wool coat gets wet, make sure to air dry it thoroughly or it will end up smelling musty.” Leather coats, on the other hand, may require two cleanings each season and a wipe-down between professional cleans. Leather can easily be damaged by a build-up of dirt and pollutants, so it needs to be cleaned more regularly. 5 According to Sarah, for best grade leather, a simple wipe down with a cloth and some detergent (洗涤剂) should be enough. A．She suggests dividing it into several steps. B．She advises that it depend on several factors. C．what methods can we use to clean these warmers? D．how often should we be washing these winter warmers? E．The type of leather can also affect how you clean your coat. F．Even more shocking, 17 per cent admit they never wash their coats at all. G．When it comes to cleaning your coat, the frequency will depend on the fabric. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．B 4．G 5．E 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国品牌Joules与清洁专家Sarah Dempsey合作，给出了一些外套护理的顶级建议，介绍了不同材质外套的清洗频率和方法。 1．下文“British brand Joules has teamed up with cleaning expert Sarah Dempsey to dish out some top tips on coat care.(英国品牌Joules与清洁专家Sarah Dempsey合作，给出了一些外套护理的顶级建议)”表明后文会围绕外套护理建议展开，结合下文提到清洗频率等内容，D选项“how often should we be washing these winter warmers?(我们应该多久清洗一次这些冬季保暖衣物呢？)”引出了关于外套清洗频率这一话题，与后文内容衔接紧密。故选D项。 2．上文“Surprisingly, a study by Joules found that 20 per cent of Brits only give their coats a wash once annually.(令人惊讶的是，Joules的一项研究发现，20%的英国人每年只洗一次外套)”提到部分英国人外套清洗频率低，F选项“Even more shocking, 17 per cent admit they never wash their coats at all.(更令人震惊的是，17%的人承认他们根本不洗外套)”进一步说明还有一部分人外套清洗频率更低，与上文构成递进关系，突出了外套清洗不频繁这一现象。故选F项。 3．下文“We should consider the material, colour, fibre content, how frequently we wear it and how it’s been stored since it was last worn.(我们应该考虑材质、颜色、纤维含量、我们穿它的频率以及自上次穿过后它是如何存放的)”列举了影响外套清洗的因素，B选项“She advises that it depend on several factors.(她建议这取决于几个因素)”引出下文这些影响因素，与下文内容逻辑紧密。故选B项。 4．下文“For wool coats, Sarah suggests one cleaning session per season, which can be done when you bring your coat out for winter.(对于羊毛外套，Sarah建议每个季节清洗一次，可以在你拿出外套准备过冬时进行)”说明了羊毛材质外套的清洗频率，是对G选项“When it comes to cleaning your coat, the frequency will depend on the fabric.(说到清洗你的外套，频率将取决于面料)”中外套清洗频率取决于面料这一观点的举例说明，上下文内容逻辑连贯。故选G项。 5．上文“Leather can easily be damaged by a build up of dirt and pollutants, so it needs to be cleaned more regularly.(皮革很容易因污垢和污染物的积累而受损，所以需要更频繁地清洗)”在讲皮外套的清洗情况，下文“According to Sarah, for best grade leather, a simple wipe down with a cloth and some detergent (洗涤剂) should be enough.(据Sarah说，对于顶级皮革，用一块布和一些洗涤剂简单擦拭就足够了)”具体说明顶级皮革的清洗方法，E选项“The type of leather can also affect how you clean your coat.(皮革的类型也会影响你清洗外套的方式)”承上启下，引出不同类型皮革清洗方式不同这一内容。故选E项。 主题02 人与社会——教育发展、文化体验、社交分享 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·云南开远·期中） Jessica Nabongo longs to set foot in every nation.

Here she talks to us about her experience and tips for traveling better. What inspires your adventures? 2 I have a strong desire to see the differences and similarities in how people live everywhere in the world, even at home in the United States. Did you ever experience any obstacles (阻碍)? I don’t believe in failure. 3 Embarrassment isn’t a natural human personality, in my eyes — it comes from socialization. If I fell over in the middle of Grand Central Station, I’d laugh at myself. I firmly believe that every failure in your life is just an opportunity to learn. 4 My mother has always said “humble (使谦逊) yourself”. I appreciate it because when you travel, depending on your passport, depending on your social class, depending on so many different things, you can go to places with a lot of ego (自我), or you can humble yourself and know that everyone is equal. What are some things people can do to travel more sustainably (可持续地)? Single-use plastic is one of the biggest things harming Earth right now, so a lot of my focus is on that. 5 If you’re in a restaurant and you don’t have a big appetite, ask for a half portion. It’s about being a deliberate (慎重的) traveler, just taking that extra minute to think how I can have a lower impact on this place that I’m in and on the planet in general.

At first, a box will do, but eventually, you’ll realize you need some sort of comprehensive organization system. 1 If you’re not careful, you’ll just continue to increase the number of seeds and grow your library. But if stored too long, some seeds will die. 2 Each winter, I take all my storage boxes out and go through all my seeds. Then, I make sure all envelopes are well-sealed. It can be heartbreaking to throw out seeds, but the reality is that all seeds have a viability (生存能力) window. For instance, some seeds, like carrot seeds, are viable for as long as three years if stored properly. 3 So if you don’t want to get stuck in spring with seeds that won’t grow or only do so occasionally, test or throw. Beyond viability dates, I also check to ensure the package is in good shape and there’s no dampness. Soon I’ll be ordering seeds for the spring. 4 Just like going through your closet (衣柜) is a good reminder of how many pairs of jeans you have, this process reminds you that you won’t need to, for instance, order sunflower seeds this year if you’ve owned a lot already. Responsibly managing seeds involves not only checking how many you have but also properly using them. Seeds belong in the soil, not in a box. 5 Find your local seed library, or list the seeds in a giveaway group. A．Here are some storage system options. B．Onion seeds can merely last for one year. C．The presence of a seed envelope doesn’t mean much. D．So take time to examine their state on a regular basis. E．Storage is important because it impacts the life of your seeds. F．If they are not going to be planted in your garden, donate them. G．Before I start spending money again, it’s helpful to know what I have. 【答案】1．E 2．D 3．B 4．G 5．F 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何保存种子。 1．由上文“At first, a box will do, but eventually, you’ll realize you need some sort of comprehensive organization system. (一开始，一个盒子就够了，但最终你会意识到需要某种全面的收纳系统。)”可知，此处需解释为何需要更完善的储存系统，而非直接列出方案。E项Storage is important because it impacts the life of your seeds. (储存很重要，因为它会影响种子的寿命。) 通过“because”点明储存的重要性 —— 直接关系种子活性，为下文“But if stored too long, some seeds will die.(但如果储存时间过长，一些种子会死亡。)”的论述奠定基础，形成“提出需求→解释原因→展开方法”的逻辑链条。其中“impacts the life of your seeds”呼应后文对种子生存能力、定期检查等内容的说明，起到承上启下的作用。故选E项。 2．由上文“But if stored too long, some seeds will die. (但如果储存太久，一些种子会失去活性。)”可知，此处需说明应对“种子久存失效”的措施，D项So take time to examine their state on a regular basis. (因此，定期检查种子的状态很有必要。)通过“So”承接上文因果关系，引出后文“每年冬天检查种子、密封信封”的具体行为。故选D项。 3．由上文“For instance, some seeds, like carrot seeds, are viable for as long as three years if stored properly. (例如，胡萝卜种子等若储存得当，生存能力可达三年。)”可知，此处需通过对比举例进一步说明种子生存能力的差异，B项Onion seeds can merely last for one year. (洋葱种子仅能存活一年。)以“Onion seeds”为例，与上文“carrot seeds”形成对比，具体说明不同种子生存能力窗口的差异，符合“例证”逻辑。故选B项。 4．由上文“Soon I’ll be ordering seeds for the spring. (很快我就要为春天订购种子了。)”可知，此处需说明订购前的准备工作，G项Before I start spending money again, it’s helpful to know what I have. (在再次花钱之前，清楚自己已有哪些种子很有帮助。)中的“Before”衔接“订购种子”的时间节点，“know what I have”引出后文“检查库存避免重复购买”的行为，如“已有大量向日葵种子则无需再订购”。故选G项。 5．由上文“Seeds belong in the soil, not in a box. (种子属于土壤，而非盒子。)”及下文“Find your local seed library, or list the seeds in a giveaway group. (寻找当地的种子图书馆，或将种子列入赠送清单。)”可知，此处需提出“未使用种子”的处理方式，F项If they are not going to be planted in your garden, donate them. (如果不打算在自家花园种植，就把它们捐赠出去。)中的“donate them”对应后文“赠送种子”的建议，进一步落实“种子应被利用”的观点。故选F项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·云南大理·期中） Here are some simple tips to help you turn your backyard into a garden where you can grow your own fruits and vegetables. 1 Different plants require different soil.

Therefore, making sure that your soil is healthy is one of the first things you should do when starting a garden. Figure out how much sunlight your plants need. 2 If you just eat the leaves from the plant, then it needs less sunlight. If you pick the fruit of the plant, then it needs more sunlight. And the smaller the fruit, the less sunlight the plant needs. 3 Leafy greens, not so much. Start a garden in pots or containers, or you can build beds. 4 Usually, anything can be a container for your plant wooden boxes, milk crates, old pots or drawers, as long as you can drill holes in the bottom and don’t let water stay there all the time. You can also build your own containers from wood. Plain white wood, like those sold at gardening stores, is not ideal It will last probably for three years or so, but then it’s going to start to break down. Ideally, make boxes from hard wood 5 A．Select proper wooden boxes. B．Set the stage with healthy soil. C．There are simple rules to find it out. D．These types of wood last longer but they are more expensive. E．So tomatoes and pumpkins need more sunlight to become ripe. F．Plants that have fruit often require less sunlight than leafy greens.

Passage 8 （24-25高二下·新高考八省专用·期中） As the UK prepares for cold winds and snow, it’s time to dig out the winter wardrobe. But while we’re putting on warm clothes, 1 British brand Joules has teamed up with cleaning expert Sarah Dempsey to dish out some top tips on coat care. Surprisingly, a study by Joules found that 20 per cent of Brits only give their coats a wash once annually. 2 Sarah isn’t shocked though; she knows coat cleaning can be tricky. 3 We should consider the material, colour, fibre content, how frequently we wear it and how it’s been stored since it was last worn. As we tend to wear layers in the winter and our coats are the outermost layer, they will be affected by the weather, getting wet in the rain, and picking up pollutants and dirt through wear over the season. 4 For wool coats, Sarah suggests one cleaning session per season, which can be done when you bring your coat out for winter. She explains, “Wool is described as a self-cleaning material as it contains keratin (角蛋白), which kills odour-causing bacteria. If your wool coat gets wet, make sure to air dry it thoroughly or it will end up smelling musty.” Leather coats, on the other hand, may require two cleanings each season and a wipe-down between professional cleans. Leather can easily be damaged by a build-up of dirt and pollutants, so it needs to be cleaned more regularly. 5 According to Sarah, for best grade leather, a simple wipe down with a cloth and some detergent (洗涤剂) should be enough. A．She suggests dividing it into several steps. B．She advises that it depend on several factors. C．what methods can we use to clean these warmers? D．how often should we be washing these winter warmers? E．The type of leather can also affect how you clean your coat. F．Even more shocking, 17 per cent admit they never wash their coats at all. G．When it comes to cleaning your coat, the frequency will depend on the fabric. 主题02 人与社会——教育发展、文化体验、社交分享 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·云南开远·期中） Jessica Nabongo longs to set foot in every nation. She started traveling at age four, along with her parents on family trips from Detroit, Michigan and completed her mission when she landed in the Seychelles, having visited 195 countries. 1 Along the way, she became a writer, photographer, and passionate advocate for inclusive and ethical tourism. Here she talks to us about her experience and tips for traveling better. What inspires your adventures? 2 I have a strong desire to see the differences and similarities in how people live everywhere in the world, even at home in the United States. Did you ever experience any obstacles (阻碍)? I don’t believe in failure. 3 Embarrassment isn’t a natural human personality, in my eyes — it comes from socialization. If I fell over in the middle of Grand Central Station, I’d laugh at myself. I firmly believe that every failure in your life is just an opportunity to learn. 4 My mother has always said “humble (使谦逊) yourself”. I appreciate it because when you travel, depending on your passport, depending on your social class, depending on so many different things, you can go to places with a lot of ego (自我), or you can humble yourself and know that everyone is equal. What are some things people can do to travel more sustainably (可持续地)? Single-use plastic is one of the biggest things harming Earth right now, so a lot of my focus is on that. 5 If you’re in a restaurant and you don’t have a big appetite, ask for a half portion.

At first, a box will do, but eventually, you’ll realize you need some sort of comprehensive organization system. 1 If you’re not careful, you’ll just continue to increase the number of seeds and grow your library. But if stored too long, some seeds will die. 2 Each winter, I take all my storage boxes out and go through all my seeds. Then, I make sure all envelopes are well-sealed. It can be heartbreaking to throw out seeds, but the reality is that all seeds have a viability (生存能力) window. For instance, some seeds, like carrot seeds, are viable for as long as three years if stored properly. 3 So if you don’t want to get stuck in spring with seeds that won’t grow or only do so occasionally, test or throw. Beyond viability dates, I also check to ensure the package is in good shape and there’s no dampness. Soon I’ll be ordering seeds for the spring. 4 Just like going through your closet (衣柜) is a good reminder of how many pairs of jeans you have, this process reminds you that you won’t need to, for instance, order sunflower seeds this year if you’ve owned a lot already. Responsibly managing seeds involves not only checking how many you have but also properly using them. Seeds belong in the soil, not in a box. 5 Find your local seed library, or list the seeds in a giveaway group. A．Here are some storage system options. B．Onion seeds can merely last for one year. C．The presence of a seed envelope doesn’t mean much. D．So take time to examine their state on a regular basis. E．Storage is important because it impacts the life of your seeds. F．If they are not going to be planted in your garden, donate them. G．Before I start spending money again, it’s helpful to know what I have. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·云南大理·期中） Here are some simple tips to help you turn your backyard into a garden where you can grow your own fruits and vegetables. 1 Different plants require different soil. For example, carrots and beets like sandier soil, so their roots can spread more easily. Tomatoes need more clay to keep water. Therefore, making sure that your soil is healthy is one of the first things you should do when starting a garden. Figure out how much sunlight your plants need. 2 If you just eat the leaves from the plant, then it needs less sunlight. If you pick the fruit of the plant, then it needs more sunlight. And the smaller the fruit, the less sunlight the plant needs. 3 Leafy greens, not so much. Start a garden in pots or containers, or you can build beds. 4 Usually, anything can be a container for your plant wooden boxes, milk crates, old pots or drawers, as long as you can drill holes in the bottom and don’t let water stay there all the time. You can also build your own containers from wood. Plain white wood, like those sold at gardening stores, is not ideal It will last probably for three years or so, but then it’s going to start to break down. Ideally, make boxes from hard wood 5 A．Select proper wooden boxes. B．Set the stage with healthy soil. C．There are simple rules to find it out. D．These types of wood last longer but they are more expensive. E．So tomatoes and pumpkins need more sunlight to become ripe. F．Plants that have fruit often require less sunlight than leafy greens. G．The decision depends on your preferences, budgets and what you’re growing. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·云南文山·期中） All kinds of pollution and waste are doing harm to the earth. 1 . So everyone can do something to help the environment. Here are a few ideas. Save energy. First of all, turn off the unused lights in time and consider using energy-saving light bulbs (灯泡), which can save much electricity. 2 . For example, you can take shorter showers. Also, turning off the tap as you brush your teeth can save much water, too. 3 . If the place you want to go is not far away, please ride a bike instead of driving a car. Riding seems to be a better choice, because it can help cut down the air pollution. You can also choose public transportation, such as taking a bus or subway. Say no to waste. 4 . Don’t take more than you can eat. Growing food needs much work. Moreover, get long life out of things you own by taking good care of them. If something is broken, don’t just throw it away. You can try to fix it or use it to make something else. Use reusable things. When you go shopping, don’t use a paper gift bag, because it is not environmentally friendly. Disposable (一次性的) plastic and paper bags can pollute oceans and the soil. They are hard to break down. 5 A．Then use less water B．Choose green travel C．You should eat less food D．Ride a bike to school or work every day E．A reusable cloth bag will be a wise choice F．However, small steps add up to make a big difference G．The easiest step you should take is to avoid wasting food / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
