She enjoys massage and other traditional Chinese treatments. “This is my secret way to fight tiredness from work,” Li says, showing her phone with a pass for three sessions. Inside, the smell of traditional Chinese medicine mixes with the aroma of coffee from a nearby shop. This is a common picture of the growing health trend among young people in Chinese cities. From healthy drinks to smartwatches, young Chinese are starting a new health trend. They are mixing science, personalization, and modern life. For them, staying well is a daily task to make life better. A recent report shows that young people aged 18 to 35 have become the main group buying health products. They make up over 80% of health consumers in China. Nowadays, young people are willing to pay for good health products and like services made just for them. In front of a hospital, a shop selling special herbal milk tea is always crowded. A hospital nutrition director explains, “Our drinks mix TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) with modern food technology.” Her team has created over 40 different health foods, like gummies and pastries that are good for you. Because more young people are interested in TCM, the hospital’s nutrition department has 30-35% more visitors every year. Technology also plays a big part. For instance, when the smartwatch vibrates after you sit for 90 minutes, it means you should stand up to do some light exercise. The health app records your activity at the same time. Three main trends are noted: using data to manage health, using traditional therapies in new ways, and making wellness enjoyable. To the young, wellness is no longer just advice from elders, but something they can track with numbers every day. 36. What does Li Qing do during her lunch break to stay energetic? A. She drinks coffee in a mall. B. She goes shopping with friends. C. She has a massage and TCM treatments. D. She uses apps to check her health data. 37. What does the word “personalization” (in Para.2) probably mean in the passage? A. Something that is very popular. B. Something that is made for a large group. C. Something that is made specially for one person. D. Something that uses modern technology. 38. What is one reason for the increase in visitors to the hospital’s nutrition department? A. The hospital started selling smartwatches. B. More young people are interested in TCM. C. The price of health products has gone down. D. The department moved to a new building. 39. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Coffee shops in malls are becoming less popular. B. Young people in China are creating new ways to manage their health. C. Traditional Chinese Medicine is the only way to stay healthy. D. Smartwatches are the most important health tool for everyone. 40. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a major trend among young health consumers? A. Using data to customize their health routines. B. Making wellness activities enjoyable. C. Re-inventing traditional therapies. D. Relying only on advice from their elders. 【答案】36. C 37. C 38. B 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国年轻人将中医与现代科技相结合的健康养生新趋势，展现了他们健康意识的提升及对个性化养生方案的追求。 【36题详解】 第一段“She enjoys massage and other traditional Chinese treatments.”和“This is my secret way to fight tiredness from work”，明确说明李晴午休时去做按摩和中医理疗来缓解疲劳。 【37题详解】 第二段“They are mixing science, personalization, and modern life.”以及第三段“young people are willing to pay for good health products and like services made just for them.”，说明personalization指的是“为个人量身定制的服务或产品”。 【38题详解】 第三段“Because more young people are interested in TCM, the hospital’s nutrition department has 30-35% more visitors every year.”，明确说明营养科就诊人数增加的原因是更多年轻人对中医感兴趣。 【39题详解】 全文围绕中国年轻人兴起的健康新趋势展开，介绍了他们通过中医理疗、健康饮品、智能设备等新方式管理健康，因此主旨是“中国年轻人正在创造管理健康的新方式”。 【40题详解】 最后一段“To the young, wellness is no longer just advice from elders, but something they can track with numbers every day.”，明确说明年轻人不再仅仅依赖长辈的建议，因此D项不是主要趋势。 （C） Dear Mom, I know you and Dad have been super-stressed lately. Between your busy schedules and helping me and Max with our homework, you guys barely have any time left over. I have the perfect idea to help give you a break. I can do chores and you can pay me! Each week, I will tidy up the living room, sweep the kitchen floor and take Ralphie for his morning walk-all for the bargain price of $10. Meanwhile, you and Dad can sit back and relax. Think about it: You won’t have to be embarrassed by the mess in the background when friends come over anymore! And this plan will help me, too. I’ve read that kids who do chores often do better in school because they learn to be responsible. I’ll have to get up earlier in the morning and organize my time better. I’ve also read that getting an allowance helps kids learn how to manage their money. So what do you think? I’m ready to start right now! Love, Selena Dear Selena, The answer is YES! You are absolutely old enough to begin taking on more responsibilities. But Dad and I _________. Nobody pays Dad to do our laundry and take out the garbage and mop the floors. And I’d be a millionaire if I got paid every time I did the dishes or made dinner. Chores are a part of family life, and we all need to help keep our house clean and organized. Let’s be honest: Dad and I aren’t the ones making most of the mess at home. Doing chores will teach you about being responsible. But it will also teach you another important lesson: Sometimes we do jobs not for the reward, but simply because we have no choice. Actually, you will be paid in the smiling faces of your parents! Isn’t that worth at least 10 dollars? Love, Mom Please answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences: 41. What chores does Selena offer to do? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. According to Selena, how will her plan help her parents? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. Fill in the blank in Selena’s mother’s letter. But Dad and I ________________________________________________________________________________________. 44. According to Selena’s mom, what can be a reward for doing chores? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 45. Do you think Selena will choose to do the housework without payment after receiving Mom’s reply? Please state your reason briefly. ________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. She offers to tidy up the living room, sweep the kitchen floor and take Ralphie for his morning walk. 42. Her plan will give them a break and they can sit back and relax. 43. don’t get paid for doing chores 44. The smiling faces of her parents. 45. Yes, I think so. Because she realizes that chores are a part of family life. 【解析】 【导语】这是两封书信。主要讲述了Selena看到父母压力很大，提议通过做家务换取零花钱来分担家务，而妈妈回信同意她做家务但拒绝付费，并教导她家务是家庭责任的一部分，真正的回报是家人的笑脸。 【41题详解】 Selena在信中明确写道“Each week, I will tidy up the living room, sweep the kitchen floor and take Ralphie for his morning walk.”，答案几乎是原文引述。 【42题详解】 Selena在信中写道“I have the perfect idea to help give you a break.”以及“you and Dad can sit back and relax.”，说明她的计划可以让父母休息放松。因此答案为原文直接信息。 【43题详解】 根据上下文，妈妈的意思是“爸爸和我做家务也没有人付钱给我们”，应填“don’t get paid for doing chores”或类似表达，与后文“Nobody pays Dad to do our laundry...”衔接一致。 【44题详解】 妈妈在信中写道“Actually, you will be paid in the smiling faces of your parents!”，说明父母的笑容就是做家务的回报。因此答案为原文直接信息。 【45题详解】 本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一。可结合Selena在信中提到自己愿意承担责任、妈妈强调家务是家庭责任等理由合理作答。 Paper Two Ⅰ.

She enjoys massage and other traditional Chinese treatments. “This is my secret way to fight tiredness from work,” Li says, showing her phone with a pass for three sessions. Inside, the smell of traditional Chinese medicine mixes with the aroma of coffee from a nearby shop. This is a common picture of the growing health trend among young people in Chinese cities. From healthy drinks to smartwatches, young Chinese are starting a new health trend. They are mixing science, personalization, and modern life. For them, staying well is a daily task to make life better. A recent report shows that young people aged 18 to 35 have become the main group buying health products. They make up over 80% of health consumers in China. Nowadays, young people are willing to pay for good health products and like services made just for them. In front of a hospital, a shop selling special herbal milk tea is always crowded. A hospital nutrition director explains, “Our drinks mix TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) with modern food technology.” Her team has created over 40 different health foods, like gummies and pastries that are good for you. Because more young people are interested in TCM, the hospital’s nutrition department has 30-35% more visitors every year. Technology also plays a big part. For instance, when the smartwatch vibrates after you sit for 90 minutes, it means you should stand up to do some light exercise. The health app records your activity at the same time. Three main trends are noted: using data to manage health, using traditional therapies in new ways, and making wellness enjoyable. To the young, wellness is no longer just advice from elders, but something they can track with numbers every day. 36. What does Li Qing do during her lunch break to stay energetic? A.

Between your busy schedules and helping me and Max with our homework, you guys barely have any time left over. I have the perfect idea to help give you a break. I can do chores and you can pay me! Each week, I will tidy up the living room, sweep the kitchen floor and take Ralphie for his morning walk-all for the bargain price of $10. Meanwhile, you and Dad can sit back and relax. Think about it: You won’t have to be embarrassed by the mess in the background when friends come over anymore! And this plan will help me, too. I’ve read that kids who do chores often do better in school because they learn to be responsible. I’ll have to get up earlier in the morning and organize my time better. I’ve also read that getting an allowance helps kids learn how to manage their money. So what do you think? I’m ready to start right now! Love, Selena Dear Selena, The answer is YES! You are absolutely old enough to begin taking on more responsibilities. But Dad and I _________. Nobody pays Dad to do our laundry and take out the garbage and mop the floors. And I’d be a millionaire if I got paid every time I did the dishes or made dinner. Chores are a part of family life, and we all need to help keep our house clean and organized. Let’s be honest: Dad and I aren’t the ones making most of the mess at home. Doing chores will teach you about being responsible. But it will also teach you another important lesson: Sometimes we do jobs not for the reward, but simply because we have no choice. Actually, you will be paid in the smiling faces of your parents! Isn’t that worth at least 10 dollars? Love, Mom Please answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences: 41.
