How to get to Chinatown For anyone brave enough to try and drive in, there is a large Q-Park in Chinatown itself. That said, the train to Charing Cross or Piccadilly Circus will likely be your best choice. Follow the official @TfL on Twitter for real time service updates and be sure to check before you travel.
What is on Throughout the day there will be plenty of live performances. Martial artists will perform in Trafalgar Square and many food stands will line the streets. People looking for entertainment designed for children can head to Lecester Square, where they'll likely find amazing activities, including sugar painting and dressing up opportunities.
Where to eat In Chinatown there are plenty of top options. Dumplings’ Legend on Gerrard Street and Gold Mine on Wardour Street are best for excellent dumplings.
What to wear Many will wear red for the day as this means good luck for the coming year— particularly so this year as the Rabbit is the luckiest of all the 12 zodiac signs (生肖).
1. Which is the best way to arrive at Chinatown
A. On foot. B. By train. C. By bus. D. By car.
2. Which place is the most family-friendly
A. Leicester Square. B. Piccadilly Circus.
C. Trafalgar Square. D. Wardour Street.

Sundy first began dancing as a child growing up in Tyler, Texas. Her big break arrived in 1969 with a Broadway show called Canterbury Tales. It brought Sandy her first Toy nomination (提名), but it also forced her to pass on another role she really wanted. “I really liked the part,” she says, “I’ve always felt regretful.”
In 1971, Sandy performed on TV in Fumy Face. During filming, Sandy, then 24, developed serious headache, which turned out a brain tumor (肿瘤) growing behind her left eye. She had an operation that saved her life but left her blind in one eye.
Other people might have been destroyed, but Sandy insisted. “I found through the experience that it wasn’t the worst thing,” she says, “I adapted to it very quickly and just went on about my business.” There have been accidents caused by this, like falling into the orchestra pit (乐池) during a performance of Peler Pan, but Sandy is grateful to be healthy. “Sometimes I’ll reach for a glass and miss it, but that’s a small price to pay.”
For many years, she was a frequent guest star on TV series In 1977, she starred in an ad for Wheat Thins cookies. In 1987, Sandy joined The Hogam Family. After the show went off the air in 1991, Sandy and her husband reconsidered their lives. They decided to move their school-age sons away from the bright lights of Hollywood. “I didn’t want to raise my two kids in LA. I wanted them to be street smart, social with people, and not be taxied everywhere. It’s an unreal kind of life.” she explains.
Today, Sandy’s life is around her husband and growing family. She admits that she’d prefer if her grandkids didn’t set their hopes on a career in the entertainment industry. “It’s a great business if you’re able to have some success,” she says, “But the struggle for many, many people is discouraging and heartbreaking.”
4. What made Sandy become famous
A. Her part in Wheat Thins cookies ad. B. Her performance in Funny Face.
C. Her role in Canterbury Tales. D. Her appearance in The Hogan Family.
5. What does “this” in paragraph 3 refer to

6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The entertainment industry disappoints Sandy.

7. What can we learn from the article

Regularly heading a football leads to a measurable drop in brain function over two years in active players, and could increase the risk of dementia (痴呆) in later life, a study led by Doctor Michael Lipton, a researcher from Columbia University has found.
West Bromwich Albion player Jeff Astle died at the age of 59 after having developed a brain disease. A doctor said that his heading of footballs during his career had damaged his brain and ruled that he had died from an “industrial disease”.
The researchers took 148 footballers with an average age of 27, three quarters of whom were male and a quarter female. They developed a questionnaire to figure out how often these football players headed the ball.
The players were given memory and learning tests, and took a form of MRI scanning (扫描)，which can examine the brain structure by recording the movement of water molecules (分子) through the tissue. They then took the same tests again two years later.
“Our analysis (分析) found that high levels of heading over the two-year period were connected with changes in structure similar to findings seen in brain injuries,” said Doctor Michael Lipton. “High levels of heading were also connected with a drop in learning performance. This is the first study to show a change of brain structure over the long term related to head damage in soccer.”
“There is wide concern for brain injury in the potential for soccer heading to cause long-term adverse effects on brains in particular,” Lipton explained.
That has led the Football Association to put a ban (禁令) on heading for children under 12 in youth teams. The England Football website recently notes of its trial to ban heading for children that it “can support the development of more skillful players ... contributing to the improved technical ability of our young players.”
8. Why does the author mention Jeff Astle
A. To compare him with other 148 players.
B. To support Doctor Michael’s findings.
C. To explain what industrial disease is.
D. To memorize a talented player.
9. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By reviewing previous results.
B. By controlling activities of the brain.
C. By grouping male and female football players.
D. By conducting medical checkups of the brain.
10. What is the main focus of the study on footballers
A. The influence of heading on brain discases.
B. The potential to suffer dementia in their school life.
C. The long-term effect of heading on brain structure.
D. The lack of technical ability in young football players.
11. What does the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Special. B. Direct. C. Protective. D. Negative.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了Michael Lipton的一项研究发现，在两年的时间里，经常头球会导致活跃球员的大脑功能明显下降，并可能增加晚年患痴呆症的风险。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“West Bromwich Albion player Jeff Astle died at the age of 59 after having developed a brain disease. A doctor said that his heading of footballs during his career had damaged his brain and ruled that he had died from an ‘industrial disease’.(西布朗维奇球员Jeff Astle在患上脑部疾病后去世，享年59岁。一位医生说，他在足球生涯中的头球损伤了他的大脑，并裁定他死于一种‘工业疾病’。)”可知，作者提到Jeff Astle是为了支持Michael的博士的发现。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The players were given memory and learning tests, and took a form of MRI scanning (扫描)，which can examine the brain structure by recording the movement of water molecules (分子) through the tissue. They then took the same tests again two years later.(参与者接受了记忆和学习测试，并接受了一种核磁共振扫描，这种扫描可以通过记录水分子在组织中的运动来检查大脑结构。两年后，他们又进行了同样的测试。)”可知，研究人员是通过对大脑进行医学检查来进行这项研究的。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Our analysis (分析) found that high levels of heading over the two-year period were connected with changes in structure similar to findings seen in brain injuries,’ said Doctor Michael Lipton. ‘High levels of heading were also connected with a drop in learning performance. This is the first study to show a change of brain structure over the long term related to head damage in soccer.’(Michael Lipton博士说：‘我们的分析发现，在两年的时间里，高水平的头球与大脑结构的变化有关，这与脑损伤的结果相似。’‘高水平的头球也与学习成绩下降有关。这是第一个研究表明，长期来看大脑结构的变化与足球造成的头部损伤有关。’)”可知，研究足球运动员的主要焦点是头球对大脑结构的长期影响。故选C项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“‘High levels of heading were also connected with a drop in learning performance. This is the first study to show a change of brain structure over the long term related to head damage in soccer.’(“高水平的头球也与学习成绩下降有关。这是第一个研究表明，长期来看，大脑结构的变化与足球造成的头部损伤有关。”)”说明大脑结构的变化与足球造成的头部损伤有关，从而推知划线词句“(Lipton解释说：“人们普遍担心，足球头球可能会对大脑造成长期的adverse影响。”)”其中划线短语应为“不利的，有害的”的意思，与D项“有害的，负面的”同义。故选D项。
D
Beauty is only skin deep, but the measure of beauty is something that has worried humans for a very long time, and this is still a hot topic well into the 21st century, whether male or female, people since ancient times have experienced judgement being passed by others based on their appearance, whether in stating preferences for marriage partners, in the securing of a job, or even in offering assistance to a stranger.
From a biological angle, human beings are able to appreciate (欣赏) their own as well as the outer appearance of others. This has is basis in the physical world around us, where many living things found in nature are closely linked to the perfection that the golden ratio (黄金比例) shows. So, the pure physical perfection in the build of a male happens when the shoulder-to-waist ratio of a man is equal to 1.618 the golden ratio. Bodybuilders thus train to get a perfect figure in males. Likewise, women try to have an hourglass figure, through whatever ways, whether by dieting and exercise, or through make-up or plastic surgery.
However, is beauty an objective feature or a subjective one considered through the “eye of the beholder(旁观者)” Research carried out worldwide on beauty shows that the way people view beauty differs across time and culture. Hardly any common features exist across all cultures. This completely explains that cultural evaluations (评价) of beauty greatly differ.
Indeed, to borrow the words of the great poet, John Keats, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”, as long as we, as a human race, have the power to recognize and appreciate different forms of beauty in our fellow human beings, we will continue to increase our awareness of aesthetic (美学) and find a reason to admire and value the different aspects of beauty which make each of us uniquely beautiful.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The standard of beauty is measurable.
B. People are increasingly worried about appearance.
C. Good-looking people are perfect marriage partners.
D. Physical appearance is important throughout history.
13. What does the author want to show by mentioning the golden ratio
A Many living things in nature are perfect.
B. People are born to appreciate appearance.
C. Men try different ways to build up strength.
D. Women get into shape by dieting and exercise.
14. The author probably agrees that ________.
A. we can judge a book by its cover
B. evaluations of beauty are unchangeable
C. beauty standards are closely related to culture
D. a beautiful face excuses someone from punishment
15. What is stressed in the last paragraph
A. Beauty can be found in different aesthetic standards.
B. Different aspects of our life are affected by aesthetic.
C. Human beings have the right to create beauty.
D. Poems have the power to express beauty.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要谈论了人们有能力认识和欣赏外表美，不断提高审美标准，美可以在不同的审美标准中找到。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Beauty is only skin deep, but the measure of beauty is something that has worried humans for a very long time, and this is still a hot topic well into the 21st century, whether male or female, people since ancient times have experienced judgement being passed by others based on their appearance, whether in stating preferences for marriage partners, in the securing of a job, or even in offering assistance to a stranger.(美只是肤浅的，但衡量美是人类长期以来一直担心的事情，这在21世纪仍然是一个热门话题，无论是男性还是女性，自古以来人们就经历过别人根据他们的外表来判断，无论是在说明对婚姻伴侣的偏好，在确保工作，甚至在向陌生人提供帮助时)”可知，第一段主要讲的是外表在整个历史上都很重要。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“From a biological angle, human beings are able to appreciate (欣赏) their own as well as the outer appearance of others. This has is basis in the physical world around us, where many living things found in nature are closely linked to the perfection that the golden ratio (黄金比例) shows.(从生物学的角度来看，人类既能欣赏自己，也能欣赏别人的外表。这是基于我们周围的物质世界，在自然界中发现的许多生物都与黄金比例所显示的完美密切相关)”可推知，人们天生就会欣赏外表美。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Research carried out worldwide on beauty shows that the way people view beauty differs across time and culture. Hardly any common features exist across all cultures. This completely explains that cultural evaluations (评价) of beauty greatly differ.(在世界范围内进行的关于美的研究表明，人们看待美的方式随着时间和文化的不同而不同。几乎没有任何共同的特征存在于所有的文化中。这就完全解释了文化对美的评价差异之大)”可推知，审美标准与文化密切相关，作者同意这种说法。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Indeed, to borrow the words of the great poet, John Keats, ‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever’, as long as we, as a human race, have the power to recognize and appreciate different forms of beauty in our fellow human beings, we will continue to increase our awareness of aesthetic (美学) and find a reason to admire and value the different aspects of beauty which make each of us uniquely beautiful.(的确，借用伟大诗人约翰·济慈的话，‘美的事物永远是一种快乐’，只要我们作为人类，有能力认识和欣赏我们人类同胞中不同形式的美，我们就会不断提高我们的审美意识，并找到理由去欣赏和重视美的不同方面，这些方面使我们每个人都变得独特美丽)”可推知，最后一段强调的是美可以在不同的审美标准中找到。故选A项。

How to lose weight during the holidays
The holiday season is a time for celebration, family gatherings, and delicious food. However, it can also be a challenging time for those trying to lose weight. _____16_____ Here are some expert tips to help you.
Eat smart
Saving up calories for parties or holiday meals is a mistake, says professor Victoria Shanta. As she explains,“ _____17_____ Then you are likely to head straight to the dining table and start eating everything in sight!”
Mix it up
“Focus on mingling (应酬), not food,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Don’t stand around the food table at a party. Instead, get out and socialize. ______18______And offer to help clean up (since that burns even more calories). Be polite and be one of the last to cat — the food looks much less attractive after everyone has dug their paws in or if it’s been sitting out for a while.”
Think before you drink
According to the experts at NYC’s Hospital, an easy way to cut calories is to avoid drinks like regular soda, juice and alcoholic (酒精的) drinks. If you do decide to drink alcohol, choose something without added sugar.
Stay active
“Regular exercise is important to maintaining a healthy weight, but motivation can be lacking when holiday comes,” say the doctors at the Mayo Clinic. Choose and include fun activities into your holiday plans, such as ice skating with family. _____19_____
Sleep to lose
The Center for Disease Control points out: “Going out more and staying out later often means cutting back on sleep. _____20_____When you sleep less, you’ll tend to eat more and prefer high-fat, high-sugar food. Aim for seven to eight hours per night to guard against mindless eating.”
A. But fear not!
B. Make the first move.
C. You’ll show up hungry.
D. This way, you can add fun to your routine.
E. After all, conversation is totally calorie free!
F. It may do good to your interpersonal relationship.
G. That can make it harder to manage your blood sugar.
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. E 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何在假期减肥。
【16题详解】
上文“However, it can also be a challenging time for those trying to lose weight.(然而，对于那些想要减肥的人来说，这也是一个充满挑战的时期)”提到，假期对于想要减肥的人来说是一个充满挑战的时期，下文“Here are some expert tips to help you.(这里有一些专家建议可以帮助你)”可知，有一些专家的建议可以帮助你在假期减肥，故对此应是不用担心，A项“不要害怕”符合上下文逻辑，故选A。
【17题详解】
根据下文“Then you are likely to head straight to the dining table and start eating everything in sight!(然后你很可能会径直走向餐桌，开始吃掉眼前的一切！)”可知，走向餐桌开始大吃，说明肚子饿了，C项“你会饿着肚子出现”符合语境，故选C。
【18题详解】
上文“Don’t stand around the food table at a party. Instead, get out and socialize.(在聚会上不要站在餐桌旁。相反，走出去参加社交活动)”提到，在聚会上不要站在餐桌旁，而是要走出去参加社交活动，下文“And offer to help clean up (since that burns even more calories).(并提供帮助清理（因为这会燃烧更多的卡路里）)”是描述聚会时不站在餐桌旁，而是走出去参加社交活动的原因，空处和下文并列，应也是描述原因，E项“毕竟，谈话是完全不含卡路里的”符合语境，E项中的“conversation”呼应上文的“socialize”，故选E。
【19题详解】
上文“Choose and include fun activities into your holiday plans, such as ice skating with family.(在你的假期计划中选择一些有趣的活动，比如和家人一起滑冰)”提到，在假期时计划一些有趣的活动，D项“这样，你就可以给你的日常生活增添乐趣”说明上述做法的好处，D项中的“fun”呼应上文的“fun activities”，故选D。
【20题详解】
上文“Going out more and staying out later often means cutting back on sleep.(外出次数多、熬到很晚往往意味着睡眠时间减少)”提到外出次数多、熬到很晚往往意味着睡眠时间减少，结合下文“When you sleep less, you’ll tend to eat more and prefer high-fat, high-sugar food.(当你睡眠不足时，你会倾向于吃得更多，更喜欢高脂肪、高糖的食物)”可知，睡眠不足时会倾向于吃得更多，更喜欢高脂肪、高糖的食物，由此可知，睡眠时间减少会影响健康，G项“这会让你更难控制血糖”承接上文，描述睡眠时间减少的后果，故选G。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了中国游泳选手秦海洋在男子蛙泳比赛中取得了历史性成就。

考查定语从句。句意：上周，在匈牙利布达佩斯举行的2023年世界游泳锦标赛上，包揽了男子蛙泳全部23枚金牌的秦海洋被授予最佳男游泳运动员奖。分析句子可知，空格处单词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Qin Haiyang，指人，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应使用关系代词who引导该从句。故填who。
37题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：上周，在匈牙利布达佩斯举行的2023年世界游泳锦标赛上，包揽了男子蛙泳全部23枚金牌的秦海洋被授予最佳男游泳运动员奖。分析句子可知，award(授予)是主句中谓语动词，与主语Qin Haiyang之间是被动关系，结合时间状语Last week可知，讲述过去的事情，应使用一般过去时，又因主语是专有名词，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态，单数形式。故填was awarded。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：就在一天前，他获得了游泳世界杯总男冠军。提示词作主语，用名词recognition，意为“赞誉；奖赏”，不可数名词。故填recognition。

【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：令人惊讶的是，在福冈举行的蛙泳锦标赛上，这位24岁的运动员五次打破亚洲纪录，成为历史上第一位在同一届比赛中获得三项蛙泳冠军的游泳运动员。“the first+名词+to do”是固定搭配，意为“第一个……的……”，不定式作后置定语。故填to earn。
【41题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意：在秦的突然出现之前，人们几乎没有谈论过中国男子蛙泳项目。根据句意，“Chinese swimming in men’s breaststroke events was hardly talked about”发生在“the sudden appearance of Qin”之前，用until、till或者before引导时间状语从句。故填until/till/before。
【42题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：在他之前，中国在男子100米蛙泳上最近的成就甚至是由齐列云在1957年打破的世界纪录。提示词作定语，根据句中“Before him”和“in 1957”可推知，齐列云是秦海洋之前距今最近的中国100米蛙泳世界纪录打破者，故用形容词最高级latest作定语。故填latest。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：秦在福冈的胜利填补了中国历史上66年的空白。in history是固定短语，意为“在历史上”。故填in。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：蛙泳几乎所有的动作都在水下进行，对游泳运动员的技术要求很高。分析句子可知，空格处单词引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词breaststroke，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作地点状语，是模糊地点，表示“在蛙泳中”，应使用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：手掌角度的微小变化都可能影响你在水中的速度。可数名词difference在句中表示“不同”，泛指，slight发音以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。

Word spread that Derck Rodgers, who had Down’s Syndrome (唐氏综合征), wanted to attend the Homecoming Dance(返校日舞会).
I, a new journalist for the Campus News, was curious who would be his dance partner and decided to cover his story. When I accompanied him on the way home one day, we were approached by Kelsey Stuart, a popular student,
“Derck, I’d like to ask you to the Dance,” she smiled.
Derck was shocked. He couldn’t believe that one of the prettiest girls in school was asking him.
Derek’s face went red. “Why me ” he asked. “And shouldn’t boys be the ones to do the asking ”
“I doubt you would, after all the rough experiences you’ve had. And we actually have more in common than you think. We both really want to go to the Dance. And we are not like those who are only concerned about personal appearance.”
“But what do you see in me How can I be the sort of guy you want to go with ”
“I know you are a gentleman and you’ll treat me like a lady and I’ll feel safe with you.” She said, leaving with a smile.
The entire school went crazy when they learned that Kelsey was Derek’s dance partner.
At first there were words that were not so nice about them. Their classmate, Billy, made fun of them by giving them stupid names. Betty, Kelsey’s best friend, stopped hanging out with her because she couldn’t understand her choice at all.
Despite the words around, every day after school, the two still stayed behind to practice their dance routine. Kelsey patiently taught Derek how to lead the steps, move to the beat of the music and spin (旋转) with elegance. Slowly but surely, they improved their dancing together.
The day of the Dance arrived. Kelsey got into a new dress and Derek put on a well-cut suit.

After the Dance, students gathered around Kelsey and Derek.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Firstly, the two getting ready, the Dance began. When Kelsey, holding Derek’s arm, entered the room, time almost stopped. Everyone looked in their direction, amazed at the perfection of the couple. As the soft music started up, Derek led Keley to the center, his steps steady and fluent, his movement gentle and elegant. Kelsey couldn’t hold back her smile as she enjoyed the moment, and Derek, immersed in the dance, was joyous and proud. With a stunning spin, they finished their dance successfully.
After the Dance, students gathered around Kelsey and Derek. Billy, his face bushing, came over to apologize. “I was wrong to make all those names,” he said with regret in his eyes. “You two looked great.” Betty approached Kelsey, her head down. “Sorry,” she murmured. “Are we sill friends ” Getting a yes, she even asked how Kelsey taught Derk all those moves. Enveloped in cheers, applause and praises, Kelsey knew she had made the best choice ever, because she chose to see the beauty beyond.

Sundy first began dancing as a child growing up in Tyler, Texas. Her big break arrived in 1969 with a Broadway show called Canterbury Tales. It brought Sandy her first Toy nomination (提名), but it also forced her to pass on another role she really wanted. “I really liked the part,” she says, “I’ve always felt regretful.”
In 1971, Sandy performed on TV in Fumy Face. During filming, Sandy, then 24, developed serious headache, which turned out a brain tumor (肿瘤) growing behind her left eye. She had an operation that saved her life but left her blind in one eye.
Other people might have been destroyed, but Sandy insisted. “I found through the experience that it wasn’t the worst thing,” she says, “I adapted to it very quickly and just went on about my business.” There have been accidents caused by this, like falling into the orchestra pit (乐池) during a performance of Peler Pan, but Sandy is grateful to be healthy. “Sometimes I’ll reach for a glass and miss it, but that’s a small price to pay.”
For many years, she was a frequent guest star on TV series In 1977, she starred in an ad for Wheat Thins cookies. In 1987, Sandy joined The Hogam Family. After the show went off the air in 1991, Sandy and her husband reconsidered their lives. They decided to move their school-age sons away from the bright lights of Hollywood. “I didn’t want to raise my two kids in LA. I wanted them to be street smart, social with people, and not be taxied everywhere. It’s an unreal kind of life.” she explains.
Today, Sandy’s life is around her husband and growing family. She admits that she’d prefer if her grandkids didn’t set their hopes on a career in the entertainment industry. “It’s a great business if you’re able to have some success,” she says, “But the struggle for many, many people is discouraging and heartbreaking.”
4. What made Sandy become famous
A. Her part in Wheat Thins cookies ad. B. Her performance in Funny Face.
C. Her role in Canterbury Tales. D. Her appearance in The Hogan Family.
5. What does “this” in paragraph 3 refer to

C. Sandy’s careless performance. D. Sandy’s recovery from an operation.
6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The entertainment industry disappoints Sandy.
B. Sandy regards her entertainment career a success.
C. Sandy wishes the entertainment industry promising.
D. Stress in the entertainment industry worries Sandy.
7. What can we learn from the article

Regularly heading a football leads to a measurable drop in brain function over two years in active players, and could increase the risk of dementia (痴呆) in later life, a study led by Doctor Michael Lipton, a researcher from Columbia University has found.
West Bromwich Albion player Jeff Astle died at the age of 59 after having developed a brain disease. A doctor said that his heading of footballs during his career had damaged his brain and ruled that he had died from an “industrial disease”.
The researchers took 148 footballers with an average age of 27, three quarters of whom were male and a quarter female. They developed a questionnaire to figure out how often these football players headed the ball.
The players were given memory and learning tests, and took a form of MRI scanning (扫描)，which can examine the brain structure by recording the movement of water molecules (分子) through the tissue. They then took the same tests again two years later.
“Our analysis (分析) found that high levels of heading over the two-year period were connected with changes in structure similar to findings seen in brain injuries,” said Doctor Michael Lipton. “High levels of heading were also connected with a drop in learning performance. This is the first study to show a change of brain structure over the long term related to head damage in soccer.”
“There is wide concern for brain injury in the potential for soccer heading to cause long-term adverse effects on brains in particular,” Lipton explained.
That has led the Football Association to put a ban (禁令) on heading for children under 12 in youth teams. The England Football website recently notes of its trial to ban heading for children that it “can support the development of more skillful players ... contributing to the improved technical ability of our young players.”
8. Why does the author mention Jeff Astle
A. To compare him with other 148 players.
B. To support Doctor Michael’s findings.
C. To explain what industrial disease is.
D. To memorize a talented player.
9. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By reviewing previous results.
B. By controlling activities of the brain.
C. By grouping male and female football players.
D. By conducting medical checkups of the brain.
10. What is the main focus of the study on footballers
A. The influence of heading on brain discases.
B. The potential to suffer dementia in their school life.
C. The long-term effect of heading on brain structure.
D. The lack of technical ability in young football players.
11 What does the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Special. B. Direct. C. Protective. D. Negative.
D
Beauty is only skin deep, but the measure of beauty is something that has worried humans for a very long time, and this is still a hot topic well into the 21st century, whether male or female, people since ancient times have experienced judgement being passed by others based on their appearance, whether in stating preferences for marriage partners, in the securing of a job, or even in offering assistance to a stranger.
From a biological angle, human beings are able to appreciate (欣赏) their own as well as the outer appearance of others. This has is basis in the physical world around us, where many living things found in nature are closely linked to the perfection that the golden ratio (黄金比例) shows. So, the pure physical perfection in the build of a male happens when the shoulder-to-waist ratio of a man is equal to 1.618 the golden ratio. Bodybuilders thus train to get a perfect figure in males. Likewise, women try to have an hourglass figure, through whatever ways, whether by dieting and exercise, or through make-up or plastic surgery.
However, is beauty an objective feature or a subjective one considered through the “eye of the beholder(旁观者)” Research carried out worldwide on beauty shows that the way people view beauty differs across time and culture. Hardly any common features exist across all cultures. This completely explains that cultural evaluations (评价) of beauty greatly differ.
Indeed, to borrow the words of the great poet, John Keats, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”, as long as we, as a human race, have the power to recognize and appreciate different forms of beauty in our fellow human beings, we will continue to increase our awareness of aesthetic (美学) and find a reason to admire and value the different aspects of beauty which make each of us uniquely beautiful.

A. Many living things in nature are perfect.
B. People are born to appreciate appearance.

How to lose weight during the holidays
The holiday season is a time for celebration, family gatherings, and delicious food. However, it can also be a challenging time for those trying to lose weight. _____16_____ Here are some expert tips to help you.
Eat smart
Saving up calories for parties or holiday meals is a mistake, says professor Victoria Shanta. As she explains,“ _____17_____ Then you are likely to head straight to the dining table and start eating everything in sight!”
Mix it up
“Focus on mingling (应酬), not food,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Don’t stand around the food table at a party. Instead, get out and socialize. ______18______And offer to help clean up (since that burns even more calories). Be polite and be one of the last to cat — the food looks much less attractive after everyone has dug their paws in or if it’s been sitting out for a while.”
Think before you drink
According to the experts at NYC’s Hospital, an easy way to cut calories is to avoid drinks like regular soda, juice and alcoholic (酒精的) drinks. If you do decide to drink alcohol, choose something without added sugar.

“Regular exercise is important to maintaining a healthy weight, but motivation can be lacking when holiday comes,” say the doctors at the Mayo Clinic. Choose and include fun activities into your holiday plans, such as ice skating with family. _____19_____
Sleep to lose
The Center for Disease Control points out: “Going out more and staying out later often means cutting back on sleep. _____20_____When you sleep less, you’ll tend to eat more and prefer high-fat, high-sugar food. Aim for seven to eight hours per night to guard against mindless eating.”

B. Make the first move.
C. You’ll show up hungry.
D. This way, you can add fun to your routine.
E. After all, conversation is totally calorie free!
F. It may do good to your interpersonal relationship.

Word spread that Derck Rodgers, who had Down’s Syndrome (唐氏综合征), wanted to attend the Homecoming Dance(返校日舞会).
I, a new journalist for the Campus News, was curious who would be his dance partner and decided to cover his story. When I accompanied him on the way home one day, we were approached by Kelsey Stuart, a popular student,
“Derck, I’d like to ask you to the Dance,” she smiled.
Derck was shocked. He couldn’t believe that one of the prettiest girls in school was asking him.
Derek’s face went red. “Why me ” he asked. “And shouldn’t boys be the ones to do the asking ”
“I doubt you would, after all the rough experiences you’ve had. And we actually have more in common than you think. We both really want to go to the Dance. And we are not like those who are only concerned about personal appearance.”
“But what do you see in me How can I be the sort of guy you want to go with ”
“I know you are a gentleman and you’ll treat me like a lady and I’ll feel safe with you.” She said, leaving with a smile.
The entire school went crazy when they learned that Kelsey was Derek’s dance partner.
At first there were words that were not so nice about them. Their classmate, Billy, made fun of them by giving them stupid names. Betty, Kelsey’s best friend, stopped hanging out with her because she couldn’t understand her choice at all.
Despite the words around, every day after school, the two still stayed behind to practice their dance routine. Kelsey patiently taught Derek how to lead the steps, move to the beat of the music and spin (旋转) with elegance. Slowly but surely, they improved their dancing together.
The day of the Dance arrived. Kelsey got into a new dress and Derek put on a well-cut suit.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, the two getting ready, the Dance began.

After the Dance, students gathered around Kelsey and Derek.
