From going to work to traveling, here are some backpacks you can use in several different situations.
SZLX backpack
This backpack is described as “designed for travel” and you can see why—as unzipped and open, it looks a bit like a carry-on bag. It has two zip pockets and an inside compartment (隔层). With a shoe compartment and a bag for wet clothes, it is a great choice for traveling and regular use.
Della Gao backpack
This backpack will have you feeling safe, with lockable zips (拉链). It has three main compartments and at 17 inches, has a large overall space for keeping important items. It’s a wise choice for business travel, university or if you’re going on holiday with high-value items.
Lekesky backpack
Looking like a cross between a lunch bag and a backpack, the Lekesky bag is actually a bit of both, with two pockets alongside a main compartment. The bag also has a separate lunch compartment, able to store food for nine hours with an ice bag. The bag comes in black/white as well as green/white.
Maxtop backpack
If what you’re after in a backpack is a lot of space, then this bag will be the one for you. It comes with metal zippers and a USB port, plus it can be folded up when not in use. It also has a D-ring for you to hang a key or other items if desired.
1. Which backpack best suits a person carrying expensive items
A. Della Gao backpack B. Lekesky backpack
C. SZLX backpack D. Maxtop backpack
2. What is true about Lekesky backpack

B
In times of sadness, a friend would always suggest going for a walk. “Are you overwhelmed (压垮) by your work Take a walk around the neighborhood.” Comments like this are often said with nothing but the best of intentions, but they used to make me angry as much as being told to drink more water. I did not understand how these things were going to help.
Three years ago, I hit a low point. Once I saw a pair of empty eyes looking at me through the mirror, I knew I was at my breaking point. So, I took the advice I fought so hard to ignore. I went for a walk—with the hope that it would somehow change my life.
I embraced (拥抱) the fresh air everyone seemed to be talking about. But it did nothing. I was just as sad as I was before. I went on a walk every single day for more than a month. Some days I could hardly make it outside, but I managed to push through. I took a picture every time I went. I think I wanted to document myself trying to make an effort. One day, the unthinkable happened. I found myself smiling. I realized I had patiently waited all morning to go on this walk. What I once hated had become the best part of my day. I found myself longing to be outside. I never had a destination in mind. I just danced along the trails (小路) , stopped to look at the beautiful blue skies and listened to music.
I’m glad I took pictures because there was a noticeable difference in my face. I slowly started to look less tired and defeated. I don’t know why I refused to go on that walk for so long. I guess I didn’t want to believe that something small and seemingly meaningless could actually make an impact on my physical and mental well-being.
If you’re having a bad day, a bad month, a bad year or even a bad life, you should try going for a walk. Sometimes, all we need to do is try.
4. How did the author use to feel when people suggested she go for a walk
A. Delighted. B. Annoyed. C. Relieved. D. Confused.
5. Why did the author decide to go for a walk three years ago
A. Her friend encouraged her.

A. She felt cheered up after the first week.
B. She always set off with a destination in mind.
C. She stopped for a while due to lack of progress.
D. She was inspired by the pictures she took of herself.
7. What does the author advise us to do

B. Care about our mental well-being.
C. Stay positive when bad things happen.
D. Take other people’s suggestions seriously.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Comments like this are often said with nothing but the best of intentions, but they used to make me angry as much as being told to drink more water.(像这样的评论通常是出于好意，但它们曾经让我生气，就像被告知要多喝水一样。)”可知，当人们建议作者去散步时，她觉得生气，故选B。

You may study English for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language learners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. Well, here’s a secret for you: A lot of British people can’t understand each other either!
Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects. There are many different accents (口音) in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also change across social class and level of education. Therefore, “Multicultural London English” was created at the end of the 20th century.
Other factors are also important in the invention of new accents and ways of speaking. These include the influence of people from different countries and different age groups, too.
“Yoof culture” is an example. The word “yoof” is a slang (俚语) spelling of “youth”. Young people are creating their own language, ideas and identity. By using words that their parents don’t understand, children can talk about things that their parents might not agree with. For example, instead of saying something like “That’s good!” or “I understand”, yoof will use a single adjective like “Safe!”, or “Sorted!” Yoof would use “kind-a-thing” or “sort-a-thing” to replace “if you understand what I’m saying”. In this way, they are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, but perhaps we should worry less about this. Research by the British Council shows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “international English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language.
8. What do we know about “Multicultural London English”
A. It was invented by Londoners in the 1900s.
B. It is now spoken by people around the world.
C. It’s a dialect specific to a particular social class.
D. It’s a modern accent that crosses educational levels.
9. Which of the following contributed to the rise of “yoof culture”
A. A mix of many different cultures. B. The way to simplify English spelling.
C. Young people’s desire to express themselves. D. Young people’s longing for more attention.
10. What does “Sorted!” mean in “yoof culture”
A. Got it! B. No way! C. With pleasure! D. No worries!
11. What message does the author intend to convey
A. Mastering English is next to impossible.
B. The English language is always changing.
C. Don’t worry if you cannot understand native speakers.
D. It helps for a non-native speaker to talk to a native speaker.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是“多元文化伦敦英语”以及“青年文化”兴起的原因和一些特殊的表达方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“There are many different accents (口音) in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also change across social class and level of education. Therefore, “Multicultural London English” was created at the end of the 20th century.(在伦敦有很多不同的口音，因为一个人的口音不仅仅是由他在英国的出生地决定的。语言和口音也因社会阶层和教育水平的不同而不同。因此，“多元文化的伦敦英语”诞生于20世纪末)”可知，“多元文化伦敦英语”是一种跨越教育水平的现代口音。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Young people are creating their own language, ideas and identity. By using words that their parents don’t understand, children can talk about things that their parents might not agree with.(年轻人正在创造自己的语言、思想和身份。通过使用父母不理解的词语，孩子们可以谈论父母可能不同意的事情)”可知，年轻人表达自己的欲望促成了“青年文化”的兴起。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“For example, instead of saying something like “That’s good!” or “I understand”, yoof will use a single adjective like “Safe!”, or “Sorted!”(例如，与其说“那很好!”或“我明白”时，你会使用一个形容词，比如“Safe！”或“Sorted!”)”可知，“Sorted!”在“年轻人文化”中意思是“明白了！”。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, but perhaps we should worry less about this. Research by the British Council shows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “international English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language.(作为英语学习者，我们可能想知道我们能和以英语为母语的人交谈得多好，但也许我们应该少担心这一点。英国文化协会的研究表明，当今世界上94%的英语是在非母语人士之间使用的。事实上，当我们想到“国际英语”时，并不存在母语人士或非母语人士之分。英国不再拥有英语)”可推知，作者想要传达的信息是如果你听不懂母语人士的话，不要担心。故选C。
D
Sugar-free cookies, sugar-free candy, and diet soda—are these better for you After sugar became a no-no in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food and drinks acted as a replacement for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Being claimed to be ZERO sugar means the food and drinks are healthier, better for diabetics, and help you slim down ... Right Wrong. Sugar-free products aren’t better for you. In fact, they are worse. For most sugar-free products, it means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem is that these sweeteners do not come from natural soures and they can do you more harm than good.
Let’s get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives even contain sugar and the ones that have chemicals your body often does not know how to process. Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar so only a small quantity of them are needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie’. It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why so many sugar-free replacements are classified as “non-nutritive”. These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under some names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn sugar-free alternatives relate to weight gain and Type-2 diabetes. Besides, artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn’t know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
Here is a good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like stevia (甜叶菊) or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugar that comes from fruits and stay away from products claimed to be sugar-free.
12. What do most sugar-free products have in common
A. They don’t taste sweet. B. They are free of calories.
C. They are rich in nutrition. D. They have artificial sweeteners.
13. What can be inferred about artificial sweeteners
A. They are as sweet as sugar. B. They pose a big risk to health.
C. They can be metabolized easily D. They have long been added to food.
14. What does the author advise us to do
A. To keep a balanced diet. B. To stay away from sugary products.
C. To choose fewer artificial ingredients. D. To take in sugar from natural sources
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why are sugar-free products bad for your health
B. How will sugar-free products affect your body
C. What can be called sugar-free products
D. Why are sugar-free products popular
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。如今市场上充斥着各种“无糖食品”和“无糖饮料”，但实际上存在更大的健康隐患。文章说明了人造甜味剂的危害以及建议远离人工甜味剂，寻找无糖的天然甜味剂，
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“For most sugar-free products, it means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar.(对于大多数无糖产品来说，这意味着使用人工甜味剂来代替真正的糖)”可知，“无糖产品”通常含有人工甜味剂。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In turn sugai-free alternatives relate to weight gain and Type-2 diabetes. Besides, artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar which impacts everything you eat. (反过来，无糖替代品与体重增加和2型糖尿病有关。此外，人造甜味剂还会损害肠道分解糖的能力，这会影响你吃的所有东西)”可知，这些所谓的“无糖产品”中含有的人工甜味剂会导致肥胖和糖尿病，还会损害肠道分解糖的能力，因此是更大的健康隐患。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Here is a good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like stevia (甜叶菊) or date sugar.(这里有一个很好的经验法则：远离人工甜味剂，寻找无糖的天然甜味剂，如甜菊糖或枣糖)”可知，作者建议摄取自然的糖分——比如来自水果的糖。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sugar-free products aren’t better for you. In fact, they are worse. For most sugar-free products, it means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem is that these sweeteners do not come from natural sourees and they can do you more harm than good.(无糖产品并不对你更好。事实上，他们更糟糕。对于大多数无糖产品来说，这意味着使用人工甜味剂来代替真正的糖。问题是这些甜味剂不是来自天然来源，它们对你的危害大于好处)”结合下文具体介绍无糖产品实际更甜，并且对身体对糖的代谢有影响可知，A选项“为什么无糖产品对你的健康有害？”最符合文章标题。故选A。

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to be a better listener
When you are in a conversation with someone and paying attention to what they’re saying, that’s a sign of caring and respect.____16____Here are some simple things you can do to make that happen.
____17____
A good listener is attentive. They’re focused and paying attention to what the other person is saying. This is called active listening. Active listening involves listening with all your senses. You can assume that if someone keeps looking at their watch or over their shoulder, their focus isn’t on the conversation.
Maintain eye contact
When someone is talking, they are usually saying something they consider to be meaningful. They want all eyes on them. Eye contact is very powerful.____18____. So make it a point the next time you’re in a conversation to maintain eye contact with the speaker.
Ask questions
Asking questions is one of the best ways to show you’re interested. If someone is telling you about their ski trip to Mammoth Mountain, don’t respond with, “That’s nice.”____19____.
Instead, you can ask, “How long have you been skiing ” “What was your favorite part of the trip ” The person will think more highly of you and consider you a great listener.
Avoid interrupting the speaker
Interrupting is a sign of disrespect. When you interrupt the speaker, they feel frustrated and unimportant. Interrupting a speaker to agree, disagree, argue, etc. also causes the speaker to lose track of what they are saying.____20____ .
A. This would show a lack of interest
B. Be an active listener
C. Regulate emotional response
D. Whatever you have to say can wait until the other person is done talking
E. So it’s important for everyone to learn how to be a better listener
F. It can convey much information without anything being said
G. Big, open questions encourage the speaker to continue to share
【答案】16. E 17. B 18. F 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是如何成为更好的倾听者。
【16题详解】
空前说“When you are in a conversation with someone and paying attention to what they’re saying, that’s a sign of caring and respect.(当你和某人交谈并注意他们所说的话时，这是关心和尊重的表现)”，说明听人说很重要，E选项“So it’s important for everyone to learn how to be a better listener(因此，学习如何成为一个更好的倾听者对每个人来说都很重要)”说明学习倾听这种技能是很重要的，为下文介绍成为倾听者的建议作铺垫，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。
【17题详解】
空格处是本段小标题，由空格下方的“A good listener is attentive. They’re focused and paying attention to what the other person is saying. This is called active listening. Active listening involves listening with all your senses. You can assume that if someone keeps looking at their watch or over their shoulder, their focus isn’t on the conversation.(一个好的倾听者是专心的。他们很专注，注意别人在说什么。这被称为积极倾听。积极倾听包括用你所有的感官去倾听。你可以假设，如果有人一直看手表或回头看，他们的注意力就不在谈话上)”可知，本段主要讲的是要成为积极的倾听者，B选项“Be an active listener(做一个积极的倾听者)”说明了要成为积极的倾听者，因此概括本段内容，可作为小标题，故选B。
【18题详解】
空前说“When someone is talking, they are usually saying something they consider to be meaningful. They want all eyes on them. Eye contact is very powerful.(当有人说话时，他们通常会说一些他们认为有意义的话。他们想让所有人都盯着他们。目光接触是非常有力的)”，说明目光接触很强大，空格处应该说为什么它是强大的，F选项“It can convey much information without anything being said(它可以使我们不用说什么就能传达很多信息)”说明了为什么目光接触是强大的，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。
【19题详解】
空前说“Asking questions is one of the best ways to show you’re interested. If someone is telling you about their ski trip to Mammoth Mountain, don’t respond with, “That’s nice.”(问问题是表示你感兴趣的最好方式之一。如果有人告诉你他们去Mammoth Mountain滑雪，不要回答：“那很好。”)”，说明在别人说自己去滑雪的时候不要说“那很好”，空格处应该解释说为什么不要这么说，A选项“This would show a lack of interest(这会显示出你缺乏兴趣)”说明说“那很好”表明你没兴趣，解释了空前所说的不要回答“那很好”的原因，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选A。
【20题详解】
空前说“Interrupting is a sign of disrespect. When you interrupt the speaker, they feel frustrated and unimportant. Interrupting a speaker to agree, disagree, argue, etc. also causes the speaker to lose track of what they are saying.(打断别人是不尊重的表现。当你打断演讲者时，他们会感到沮丧和不重要。打断说话人表示同意、不同意、争论等，也会让说话人忘记自己在说什么)”说明了打断别人不好，也就是应该等别人说完了再说自己想说的话，D选项“Whatever you have to say can wait until the other person is done talking(不管你要说什么，都可以等到对方说完再说)”说明要等别人说完了再说自己要说的话，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了半夜醒来查看时间会影响睡眠并产生压力。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：如果你在半夜醒来，你可能会查看时间，看看你在早上之前还有多少小时。根据句意，这里表示在早上之前还有多少小时，强调过去发生的动作对现在的影响，应用现在完成时，且空前有have，所以这里应用过去分词。故填left。
【37题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：看任何光源都会向大脑发送清醒信号，并关闭促睡眠荷尔蒙褪黑激素的产生。and前后连接并列的谓语结构，这里应与turns保持一致，用一般现在时，且谓语用单数。故填sends。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意参考上题。根据空前的the，这里应用名词。production意为“生产，（自然的）产生，分泌”，为不可数名词。故填production。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：昼夜节律是24小时周期，这是人体内部时钟的一部分。分析句子结构，空处引导一个定语从句，先行词为24-hour cycles，指物，且空处在从句中作主语，所以应用that或which引导。故填that/which。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：最重要的昼夜节律之一是睡眠-觉醒周期，它很容易受到光的影响。空处应用副词修饰动词influenced。easily意为“容易地”。故填easily。
【41题详解】
考查比较级。句意：即使是快速看一眼也会让你更难重新入睡。这里是“make+宾语+宾补”结构，应用形容词作宾补。根据第一段中的“If you wake up in the middle of the night”和句中的“Even a quick look”可知，半夜醒来时需要重新调整入睡，但快速看一眼光源会让重新入睡变得更加困难，应用difficult的比较级more difficult。故填more difficult。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：但更重要的是，检查可能会造成额外的压力。空处应用形容词作定语，修饰stress。additional意为“额外的”。故填additional。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：生理学家、睡眠和压力管理专家Nerina Ramlakhan博士建议，每次醒来都要查看时间，只会让你的夜晚更加不安。lead to意为“导致”，为固定搭配。故填to。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：如果你在晚上醒来，千万不要查看时间——在晚上醒来是完全正常的。这里是it is+adj.+to do...句型，其中it作形式主语，不定式作真正主语。故填to wake。
【45题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：如果你是一个敏感的睡眠者，那么查看时间会让你陷入一系列的计算中，让你担心你会睡多少觉。分析句子结构并根据句意可知，这里是说如果你是一个敏感的睡眠者，表示假设，所以应用If引导条件状语从句。故填If。

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。
Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf (围巾). Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn’t know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see that it’s going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
“I’m sorry. Do I know you ” Eliza asked.
“I’m sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend,” the old woman replied. “She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this woman be Betty, her grandmother’s childhood friend
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Then the old woman introduced herself, “My name is

The old woman agreed to go with Scout.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Then the old woman introduced herself, “My name is Betty. I’m originally from Poland, but left there when I was thirteen. And I have been living here in Washington DC in America ever since.” Eliza could not believe it, stories of her grandmother’s best friend floating into her mind. Assuming that the old woman must be her grandmother’s best friend, she said, “Betty, would you mind coming with me right now I need to show you somebody.”
The old woman agreed to go with Eliza. Soon they left the restaurant after a quick dinner. On the way, Betty felt her heart was thumping with excitement. She couldn’t wait to see her long-lost friend. Arriving at Scout’s home, Betty eagerly rang the door bell. The moment Scout opened the door, she was rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her childhood friend standing in front of her. Both of them were in tears, hugging each other tightly. Time seemed to cease to witness the great moment.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Scout和Betty从小是好朋友，但是因为战争原因 Scout必须举家搬去美国，因此她们请求父母给他们买一对围巾作为友谊的象征，自此以后她们不再见面，但是依然保存着围巾，直到一天 Scout的孙女带着她的围巾在餐馆的时候，遇到了Betty，Betty认出围巾，由此Scout和Betty通过丝绸围巾最终重逢。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“然后老妇人自我介绍说：‘我叫……’”可知，第一段可描写这个老夫人作了自我介绍。所以应该写：Betty讲述自己为什么也来到了美国，以及Eliza告诉她要带她去见一个人。
②由第二段首句内容“老妇人同意和伊丽莎一起去”可知，第二段可描写Betty跟着Eliza去了她的家，见到了童年时的朋友，两人非常激动，不敢相信。
2.续写线索：介绍——回忆——引见——陪回家——相聚——感动
3.词汇激活
行为类
①以为：assume/think
②浮现脑海：float into mind/flash in one's mind
③停止：cease/stop
情绪类
①惊讶：amazement/surprise
②伟大：great/marvelous
【点睛】[高分句型1] Assuming that the old woman must be her grandmother’s best friend, she said, “Betty, would you mind coming with me right now I need to show you somebody.”(运用了that引导宾语从句)
[高分句型2] The moment Scout opened the door, she was rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her childhood friend standing in front of her. (运用了The moment引导时间状语从句)

From going to work to traveling, here are some backpacks you can use in several different situations.
SZLX backpack
This backpack is described as “designed for travel” and you can see why—as unzipped and open, it looks a bit like a carry-on bag. It has two zip pockets and an inside compartment (隔层). With a shoe compartment and a bag for wet clothes, it is a great choice for traveling and regular use.
Della Gao backpack
This backpack will have you feeling safe, with lockable zips (拉链). It has three main compartments and at 17 inches, has a large overall space for keeping important items. It’s a wise choice for business travel, university or if you’re going on holiday with high-value items.
Lekesky backpack
Looking like a cross between a lunch bag and a backpack, the Lekesky bag is actually a bit of both, with two pockets alongside a main compartment. The bag also has a separate lunch compartment, able to store food for nine hours with an ice bag. The bag comes in black/white as well as green/white.
Maxtop backpack
If what you’re after in a backpack is a lot of space, then this bag will be the one for you. It comes with metal zippers and a USB port, plus it can be folded up when not in use. It also has a D-ring for you to hang a key or other items if desired.
1. Which backpack best suits a person carrying expensive items

In times of sadness, a friend would always suggest going for a walk. “Are you overwhelmed (压垮) by your work Take a walk around the neighborhood.” Comments like this are often said with nothing but the best of intentions, but they used to make me angry as much as being told to drink more water. I did not understand how these things were going to help.
Three years ago, I hit a low point. Once I saw a pair of empty eyes looking at me through the mirror, I knew I was at my breaking point. So, I took the advice I fought so hard to ignore. I went for a walk—with the hope that it would somehow change my life.
I embraced (拥抱) the fresh air everyone seemed to be talking about. But it did nothing. I was just as sad as I was before. I went on a walk every single day for more than a month. Some days I could hardly make it outside, but I managed to push through. I took a picture every time I went. I think I wanted to document myself trying to make an effort. One day, the unthinkable happened. I found myself smiling. I realized I had patiently waited all morning to go on this walk. What I once hated had become the best part of my day. I found myself longing to be outside. I never had a destination in mind. I just danced along the trails (小路) , stopped to look at the beautiful blue skies and listened to music.
I’m glad I took pictures because there was a noticeable difference in my face. I slowly started to look less tired and defeated. I don’t know why I refused to go on that walk for so long. I guess I didn’t want to believe that something small and seemingly meaningless could actually make an impact on my physical and mental well-being.
If you’re having a bad day, a bad month, a bad year or even a bad life, you should try going for a walk. Sometimes, all we need to do is try.
4. How did the author use to feel when people suggested she go for a walk
A. Delighted. B. Annoyed. C. Relieved. D. Confused.
5. Why did the author decide to go for a walk three years ago
A. Her friend encouraged her.
B. She wanted to challenge herself.
C. Her hopelessness drove her to try.
D. She was eager to get close to nature.
6. What happened after the author started to go for a walk
A. She felt cheered up after the first week.
B. She always set off with a destination in mind.
C. She stopped for a while due to lack of progress.
D. She was inspired by the pictures she took of herself.
7. What does the author advise us to do
A. Go for a walk when feeling down.
B. Care about our mental well-being.
C. Stay positive when bad things happen.
D. Take other people’s suggestions seriously.
C
You may study English for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language learners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. Well, here’s a secret for you: A lot of British people can’t understand each other either!
Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects. There are many different accents (口音) in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also change across social class and level of education. Therefore, “Multicultural London English” was created at the end of the 20th century.
Other factors are also important in the invention of new accents and ways of speaking. These include the influence of people from different countries and different age groups, too.
“Yoof culture” is an example. The word “yoof” is a slang (俚语) spelling of “youth”. Young people are creating their own language, ideas and identity. By using words that their parents don’t understand, children can talk about things that their parents might not agree with. For example, instead of saying something like “That’s good!” or “I understand”, yoof will use a single adjective like “Safe!”, or “Sorted!” Yoof would use “kind-a-thing” or “sort-a-thing” to replace “if you understand what I’m saying”. In this way, they are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, but perhaps we should worry less about this. Research by the British Council shows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “international English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language.
8. What do we know about “Multicultural London English”
A. It was invented by Londoners in the 1900s.
B. It is now spoken by people around the world.
C. It’s a dialect specific to a particular social class.
D. It’s a modern accent that crosses educational levels.
9. Which of the following contributed to the rise of “yoof culture”
A. A mix of many different cultures. B. The way to simplify English spelling.
C Young people’s desire to express themselves. D. Young people’s longing for more attention.
10. What does “Sorted!” mean in “yoof culture”
A. Got it! B. No way! C. With pleasure! D. No worries!
11. What message does the author intend to convey
A. Mastering English is next to impossible.
B. The English language is always changing.
C. Don’t worry if you cannot understand native speakers.
D. It helps for a non-native speaker to talk to a native speaker.
D
Sugar-free cookies, sugar-free candy, and diet soda—are these better for you After sugar became a no-no in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food and drinks acted as a replacement for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Being claimed to be ZERO sugar means the food and drinks are healthier, better for diabetics, and help you slim down ... Right Wrong. Sugar-free products aren’t better for you. In fact, they are worse. For most sugar-free products, it means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem is that these sweeteners do not come from natural soures and they can do you more harm than good.
Let’s get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives even contain sugar and the ones that have chemicals your body often does not know how to process. Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar so only a small quantity of them are needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie’. It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why so many sugar-free replacements are classified as “non-nutritive”. These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under some names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn sugar-free alternatives relate to weight gain and Type-2 diabetes. Besides, artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn’t know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
Here is a good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like stevia (甜叶菊) or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugar that comes from fruits and stay away from products claimed to be sugar-free.

Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf (围巾). Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn’t know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Nothing’s going to happen to your scarf.
