Good morning, everyone. I am Cathy Weaver from NPR. Pakistan is facing the heaviest rains in the last 30 years and sudden floods caused by the heavy rains have killed more than 1, 100 people. Floods have washed away numbers of bridges, roads, homes and hotels. Large areas of crops are under water. I have seen many people sheltering on railway tracks and in schools. The Pakistani aid workers who I speak to are pretty used to dealing with disasters, but even they say they are shocked. They have never seen such serious damage caused by a disaster. Almost all the roads are badly damaged, making the rescue work rather difficult. Now a great many soldiers and volunteers are struggling around the clock. Pakistani officials have said that the government will provide housing to those who have lost their homes. International aid is being organized for the flood-affected areas. Airplanes from foreign countries landed on Sunday, carrying food and water supplies. The United Nations has also offered $ 3 million to help.

Not having done physical exercise for some time, I found myself a little low-spirited and couldn't study efficiently, so I decided to do some running the next day. At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm clock rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went back to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went out.
Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn't help breathing it deeply. I stretched (伸展) my arms and legs, then started to run. I found all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branches were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What's more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They were scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, relax.” I shouted without stopping running. “Let's enjoy the beautiful morning together!” Then miracle (奇迹) happened. The two little creatures seemed to understand what I said. They turned back and twittered (吱吱叫) around me. “Are you singing for me ” I asked. They twittered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to hear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life is!
Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Helen Keller wrote in her famous article Three Days to See, “The seeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them. They always complain that life is boring. But, I just want to say, if you live each day with appreciation of things around, you'll find life is very charming. So, let's enjoy life from now on.
24．According to the passage, the writer went running with the purpose of ______ .
A．making herself more active B．seeing the beauty of nature
C．talking with birds D．breathing fresh air
25．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ______
A．The writer enjoyed the singing of the two birds.
B．The writer rose immediately after the clock went off.
C．The writer did some warmup exercises before running.
D．The writer felt refreshed after doing some running in the morning.
26．What does the underlined sentence “The seeing see little.” in the last paragraph mean ______
A．People who can see hardly find the beauty of nature.
B．Those who can see enjoy nature much more than the blind.
C．People who go sightseeing can see little.
D．Those who go out only see little things.
27．The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to tell us that ______ .
A．the nature in the morning is very beautiful B．fresh air is beneficial
C．physical exercise is useful D．we should appreciate the beautiful things in life
【参考答案】
24．A 25．B 26．A 27．D
【语篇解读】
这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述自己因为长时间没有体育锻炼感到自己没有精神，学习效率降低，在第二天的锻炼中发现很多美好的事情，发现生活的美好
【详情解析】
24．细节理解题。根据第一段“Not having done physical exercise for some time, I found myself a little low-spirited and couldn't study efficiently, so I decided to do some running the next day.”（有一段时间没有进行体育锻炼了，我发现自己有点情绪低落，无法有效地学习，所以我决定第二天跑步。）可知，根据文章，作者跑步的目的是让自己更活跃。故选A项。
25．细节理解题。根据第一段“Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went back to sleep.”（我不愿意从床上爬起来，就把它关掉，然后又睡着了）可知，B选项“钟一响，作家就起来了。”错误。故选B项。
26．推理判断题。根据最后一段提到“Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them.”（事实上，我们中的许多人忽视了周围的美，只是因为我们熟悉它们）可知，看的见的人很难发现大自然的美。故选A项。
27．推理判断题。本文讲述自己因为长时间没有体育锻炼感到自己没有精神，学习效率降低，在第二天的锻炼中发现很多美好的事情，发现生活的美好。所以短文的目的是“我们应该欣赏生活中美好的事物”。故选D项。
C
Those of us who shop online may look over customer reviews to get a better sense of products we can’t judge for ourselves at a physical store. We may check out online recommendations before booking a haircut or visiting a new restaurant. But what happens if some of those reviews can’t be trusted
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently announced that it was suggesting new measures to crack down on (严厉打击) fake (虚假的) reviews and other practices used to mislead consumers. The commission published a suggested rule that would prohibit companies from writing or selling fake reviews, buying positive reviews, silencing negative reviews and more.
“Our suggested rule on fake reviews shows that we’re using all possible means to attack misleading advertising in the digital age,” Samuel Levine, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement.
Research shows most people heavily rely on online reviews, but humans are also bad at telling which consumer reviews hold water and which are nonsense.
That’s potentially worrisome given that nearly one in every three reviews is fake, according to one study.
In arguing for the suggested rule, the FTC cited what action it had taken against companies that controlled reviews of their products.
In 2022, for example, the commission forced the online retailer Fashion Nova, LLC to pay $4.2 million to settle allegations (指控) that it prevented negative reviews from being posted on its website – the first FTC action involving a company’s effort to hide negative reviews. For its part, Fashion Nova said in a statement to The New York Times that the FTC’s allegations were “inaccurate” and that it only settled the charges to avoid “the distraction (分心) and legal fees”.
Comments on the suggested rule have to be received within 60 days of its publication in the Federal Register, after which the FTC will decide whether to issue a revised final version.
28．What is the main purpose of the FTC’s suggested rule
A．To improve the quality of products and services. B．To ensure true reviews are presented to customers.
C．To ban negative reviews from online platforms. D．To protect the interests of physical stores.
29．What does the underlined phrase “hold water” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A．Be trustworthy. B．Be one-sided.
C．Be official. D．Be misleading.
30．Why was Fashion Nova forced to pay $4.2 million in a settlement in 2022
A．To remove negative reviews of its products.
B．To post customer reviews on its website.
C．To resolve its allegations of dishonest advertising.
D．To prevent it from facing further criticism and legal fees.
31．What can be inferred about the suggested rule
A．It is well-received. B．It is still under review.
C．It has proven to be effective. D．It has faced disagreement.
【参考答案】
28．B 29．A 30．C 31．B
【语篇解读】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国联邦贸易委员会发布了一项建议规则，禁止公司撰写或销售虚假评论、购买正面评论、压制负面评论，并打击虚假评论和其他误导消费者的行为。
【详情解析】
28．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently announced that it was suggesting new measures to crack down on fake reviews and other practices used to mislead consumers. (美国联邦贸易委员会(FTC) 最近宣布，建议采取新措施，打击虚假评论和其他误导消费者的行为。)”可知，联邦贸易委员会建议规则的主要目的是确保向客户提供真实的评论。故选B项。
29．词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Research shows most people heavily rely on online reviews, but humans are also bad at telling (研究表明，大多数人严重依赖在线评论，但人类也不善于辨别)”及“which are nonsense (哪些是无稽之谈)”可知，划线处的含义应该与nonsense相反，故A项trustworthy“值得信赖的”与划线词词义相近。故选A项。
30．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“In 2022, for example, the commission forced the online retailer Fashion Nova, LLC to pay $4.2 million to settle allegations (指控) that it prevented negative reviews from being posted on its website – the first FTC action involving a company’s effort to hide negative reviews. (例如，2022年，委员会迫使在线零售商Fashion Nova，LLC支付420万美元，以解决有关其阻止负面评论在其网站上发布的指控，这是联邦贸易委员会首次采取行动，涉及公司试图隐藏负面评论。)”可知，Fashion Nova被迫在2022年支付420万美元，以解决其不诚实广告的指控。故选C项。
31．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Comments on the suggested rule have to be received within 60 days of its publication in the Federal Register, after which the FTC will decide whether to issue a revised final version.(对建议规则的评论必须在《联邦公报》公布后60天内收到，之后联邦贸易委员会将决定是否发布修订后的最终版本。)”可知，建议的规则仍在审查中。故选B项。
D
Britain is the sixth fattest country: within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). For more than a decade, the government has declared obesity (肥胖) a national emergency and promised to take action, only to produce disappointing plans that don’t reach what is required.
It should not have taken a disease like COVID-19 to make people fully aware of the awful consequences of the UK’s obesity. Obesity, as well as its associated conditions of diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure, is strongly connected with a higher risk of death from COVID-19 and will have undoubtedly been a factor in the UK having the highest COVID-19 death rate in Europe.
As the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson’s experience of caching the virus and being admitted to ICU has reportedly resulted in a complete change in him, who has previously prided himself on his dislike of an over-controlling state. The government is expected to set out a new strategy this week, aimed at reducing obesity levels both in the next few months — ahead of a possible second wave of infections and the longer term.
This obvious change is welcome, but only if it results in a complete change in the government’s approach, which doesn’t rely on personal responsibility but on much tougher rules, as with tobacco and alcohol.
There is plenty of evidence about what is needed to cut obesity and in recent years, many reports, including from Public Health England and the former chief medical officer, have called for urgent action. Yet these calls were ignored by the government that has seemingly put the food and drink industry’s financial interests over the health of the nation.
32．What has the government done with obesity in the past ten years
A．It has denied (否认) it is a national emergency. B．It has made unsatisfying plans to reduce it.
C．It has taken effective steps to control it. D．It has called for immediate action on it.
33．What might the British government do next
A．Place less stress on financial interests. B．Set stricter limits on tobacco and alcohol.
C．Carry out a new strategy to cut obesity. D．Take action to reduce COVID-19 death rate.
34．From the passage, we can learn that______.
A．the British government should have paid more attention to solving obesity
B．the fast-spread disease COVID-19 resulted in the UK’s obesity
C．the Prime Minister caught the virus and was admitted to ICU for obesity
D．the British government has taken effective action to battle against obesity
35．What’s the best title for the text
A．UK Suffering from COVID-19 B．UK Ready for a Complete Change
C．A Cause of Highest COVID-19 Death Rate D．Obesity: An Urgent Problem in the UK
【参考答案】
32．B 33．C 34．A 35．D
【语篇解读】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国的肥胖问题严重，政府采取了一些减少肥胖的措施，但是没有达到要求。
【详情解析】
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For more than a decade, the government has declared obesity (肥胖) a national emergency and promised to take action, only to produce disappointing plans that don’t reach what is required.(十多年来，政府一直宣布肥胖是国家紧急情况，并承诺采取行动，但结果却出台了令人失望的计划，没有达到要求)”可知，在过去的十年里，政府制定的减少肥胖的计划并不令人满意。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The government is expected to set out a new strategy this week, aimed at reducing obesity levels both in the next few months — ahead of a possible second wave of infections and the longer term.(政府有望在本周制定一项新策略，旨在在未来几个月内降低肥胖水平——赶在可能出现的第二波感染之前，并在更长时间内降低肥胖水平)”可知，接下来，英国政府可能会实施一项减少肥胖的新策略。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“There is plenty of evidence about what is needed to cut obesity and in recent years, many reports, including from Public Health England and the former chief medical officer, have called for urgent action. Yet these calls were ignored by the government that has seemingly put the food and drink industry’s financial interests over the health of the nation. (关于减少肥胖需要做些什么，有很多证据。近年来，包括英国公共卫生部和前首席医疗官在内的许多报告都呼吁采取紧急行动。然而，这些呼吁被政府忽视了，政府似乎把食品和饮料行业的经济利益置于国民健康之上)”可推知，英国政府应该更加重视解决肥胖问题。故选A。35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Britain is the sixth fattest country: within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).(在经济合作与发展组织(OECD)的成员国中，英国是第六胖的国家)”和最后一段中的“There is plenty of evidence about what is needed to cut obesity and in recent years, many reports, including from Public Health England and the former chief medical officer, have called for urgent action. (关于减少肥胖需要做些什么，有很多证据。近年来，包括英国公共卫生部和前首席医疗官在内的许多报告都呼吁采取紧急行动)”可知，英国肥胖问题严重，应该引起政府和人们的高度重视。由此可知，D. Obesity: An Urgent Problem in the UK(肥胖：在英国一个迫在眉睫的问题)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

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。
If your stress-response is always on, your immune system suffers and your blood pressure increases. 36 . So what are some ways to quiet your body’s stress response and gain some much-needed calm
37
The first way to start your relaxation mode is to breathe. Now, you may be saying, “I breathe all day. If I didn’t, I’d be dead.” 38 . But many of us go through our days without breathing deeply. There’s a difference between stressed-out shallow breathing and slow, deep breaths. This kind of deep breathing leads to all sorts of health benefits such as decreased oxygen consumption, decreased blood pressure, and increased carefulness.
Practice Imagination
You can experience that relaxation mode by trying imagination. My favorite is to imagine I’m on a beach. I use all five senses to try to bury myself in the imagined experience of relaxation on a beach. I try to smell the ocean air and see and hear the waves. 39 .
Play Pretend
40 . I find that if I pretend I’m a professional California surfer, it’s much easier to decrease stress and get into my relaxation mode. A simple “No problem” can go a really long way.
A．That’s kind of true
B．Breathing Exercises
C．Focus On Your Senses
D．And you will easily get into anxiety and depression
E．A little physical exercise could help you better yourself fast
F．I’ve also created another exercise that requires me to play pretend
G．Practice imagination can help us decrease stress by shifting our focus

When people 56 (face) with health or nutrition questions, it is 57 (increasing) common to go online and diagnose (诊断) themselves. But the Internet is full of conflicting health warnings with no regulation to get rid of the wrong advice, some of 58 is extremely dangerous! Also, search engines rank results by 59 (popular) rather than accuracy, so solid facts can be tricky to find. It is worth 60 (check) if the writer of an online piece is properly qualified as an expert. Anyone can call 61 (they) a “diet expert”, “nutritionist” and even a “doctor”— given (考虑到) it could refer to qualifications like a PhD．But remember, only officially 62 (recognize) practicing doctors as well as dietitians have degrees in giving practical medical 63 (suggestion).

The truth is out there, and you just need to look in the right place!
【参考答案】
are faced 57．increasingly 58．which 59．popularity 60．checking
61．themselves 62．recognized 63．suggestions 64．whether 65．an
【语篇解读】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了当很多人面对健康或营养方面的问题时，他们会直接在网上搜索，进行自我诊断。这其实是不科学的，因为搜索出来的结果是按照受欢迎程度而不是按准确性来排序的。所有，人们要认识到搜索引擎不是医生，遇到问题最好和医生预约进行准确的诊断。
【详情解析】
56．考查时态和语态。句意：当人们面临健康或营养问题时，上网自我诊断变得越来越普遍。此处在when引导的状语从句中作谓语，句子描述一般性事实，且主语和face是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，be faced with固定搭配，意为“面对”，主语是people，be动词应用are，故填are faced。
57．考查副词。句意：当人们面临健康或营养问题时，上网自我诊断变得越来越普遍。此处应用副词increasingly作状语，修饰形容词common，故填increasingly。
58．考查定语从句。句意：但是互联网上充满了相互矛盾的健康警告，没有消除错误建议的法规，且其中一些建议是极其危险的！此处是介词+关系代词引导的定语从句，先行词是advice，指物，且关系词在从句中作宾语，应用which，故填which。
59．考查名词。句意：此外，搜索引擎根据受欢迎程度而不是准确性对结果进行排名，因此很难找到可靠的事实。此处应用名词popularity作宾语，不可数，故填popularity。
60．考查非谓语动词。句意：网络文章的作者是否具有专家资格是值得被检查的。be worth doing sth.固定搭配，意为“值得做某事”，故填checking。
61．考查代词。句意：任何人都可以称自己为“饮食专家”、“营养学家”，甚至是“医生”——因为这可以指博士等任何资格。call oneself固定搭配，意为“自称……”，故填themselves。
62．考查非谓语动词。句意：但是要记住，只有官方认可的执业医生和营养师才有资格给出实用的医疗建议。此处是非谓语动词作定语，修饰doctors，且动词recognize(认可)和名词doctors是被动关系，应用过去分词作定语，故填recognized。
63．考查名词复数。句意：但是要记住，只有官方认可的执业医生和营养师才有资格给出实用的医疗建议。此处应用名词suggestion作宾语，为可数名词，前面无冠词，此处应用复数形式表泛指，故填suggestions。
64．考查宾语从句。句意：因此，如果你不确定，仍然想知道巧克力减肥是否真的有效，那么与你的营养师或医生预约是有好处的。whether...or not固定搭配，意为“是否”，此处whether引导宾语从句，故填whether。
65．考查冠词。句意：因此，如果你不确定，仍然想知道巧克力饮食是否真的有效，那么与你的营养师或医生预约是值得的。make an appointment固定搭配，意为“预约”，故填an。

第二节（满分25分）
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。
In the back of my closet is a small box that has followed me to every new address. It’s the first thing I find a place for as the moving truck pulls away. The only remaining contents in it are dozens of notes in my mother’s tidy writing. My mother, who put her business degree to use running a small company with my father, while raising me, was always prepared and always gave me abundant love. By day she made marketing slogans and distribution strategies. By night: bubble baths and bedtime stories. She and I had the same February birthday. Each year my parents arranged wonderful parties.
When I was 3, she learned she had advanced breast cancer and immediately began to prepare by rescarching every available treatment. Each day, she would sit for hours at our dining table, her straight dark hair tied back, surrounded by piles of paper, studying, technical paragraphs.
When I was 7, the materials on the dining table began to change. Wrapping (包装) paper and ribbons (丝带) took the place of her highlighted pages. Paper creased (折) under her fingers. Knots (蝴蝶结) came together with a tiny creak. She had begun making a gift box for me.
Inside, she packed presents and letters for the milestones of my life she would miss—graduation, wedding, and every birthday until the age of 30. My mother died 10 days before our shared birthday. That morning, when I turned 12 and she would have turned 49, I woke up early and opened the box as my mother had shown me.
Neat rows of brightly wrapped presents glowed like the spring tulips (郁金香) that were just coming up in the front yard. In the package marked “12th Birthday”, I found a little ring with an amethyst (紫水晶) at its center. A white card curling around the present read: “I always wanted a birthstone ring when I was a little girl. I hope you like it, too. Happy birthday, darling girl! Love, your Mommy.”
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
On the morning of my high school graduation, I walked to the box. __________________________________

Today I hit 31, and I sat in my room, holding the nearly empty box. ________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考答案】
On the morning of my high school graduation, I walked to the box. The box sat quietly at the foot of my bed, as if waiting for me. Unexpectedly I found out the package labeled “graduation” and unwrapped it. A string of pearl necklaces caught the eyes. Her note read, “There seemed to be a tradition in my family that when girls graduated from high school, they received a string of pearls. You must be shiny at the ceremony.” As I read, I wanted to fall through the white, lightly textured page and into her arms. Wearing the pearls that afternoon, I accepted my diploma.
Today I hit 31, and I sat in my room, holding the nearly empty box. For 20 years I have pulled love from the box. When I was a child, opening the next package seemed like a treasure hunt. As I grew older, it became something far more fundamental, her messages meeting me like guideposts in a dark forest. There is no gifts left in the box now, but these letters are a constant reminder that I have already been given what every child, what every human, needs. I have been fiercely, extravagantly, wildly loved. The love is powerful enough to help me carve my life in my whole life.

Not having done physical exercise for some time, I found myself a little low-spirited and couldn't study efficiently, so I decided to do some running the next day. At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm clock rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went back to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went out.
Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn't help breathing it deeply. I stretched (伸展) my arms and legs, then started to run. I found all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branches were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What's more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They were scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, relax.” I shouted without stopping running. “Let's enjoy the beautiful morning together!” Then miracle (奇迹) happened. The two little creatures seemed to understand what I said. They turned back and twittered (吱吱叫) around me. “Are you singing for me ” I asked. They twittered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to hear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life is!

Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them. They always complain that life is boring.

Those of us who shop online may look over customer reviews to get a better sense of products we can’t judge for ourselves at a physical store. We may check out online recommendations before booking a haircut or visiting a new restaurant. But what happens if some of those reviews can’t be trusted
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently announced that it was suggesting new measures to crack down on (严厉打击) fake (虚假的) reviews and other practices used to mislead consumers. The commission published a suggested rule that would prohibit companies from writing or selling fake reviews, buying positive reviews, silencing negative reviews and more.
“Our suggested rule on fake reviews shows that we’re using all possible means to attack misleading advertising in the digital age,” Samuel Levine, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement.
Research shows most people heavily rely on online reviews, but humans are also bad at telling which consumer reviews hold water and which are nonsense.
That’s potentially worrisome given that nearly one in every three reviews is fake, according to one study.
In arguing for the suggested rule, the FTC cited what action it had taken against companies that controlled reviews of their products.
In 2022, for example, the commission forced the online retailer Fashion Nova, LLC to pay $4.2 million to settle allegations (指控) that it prevented negative reviews from being posted on its website – the first FTC action involving a company’s effort to hide negative reviews. For its part, Fashion Nova said in a statement to The New York Times that the FTC’s allegations were “inaccurate” and that it only settled the charges to avoid “the distraction (分心) and legal fees”.
Comments on the suggested rule have to be received within 60 days of its publication in the Federal Register, after which the FTC will decide whether to issue a revised final version.
28．What is the main purpose of the FTC’s suggested rule
A．To improve the quality of products and services. B．To ensure true reviews are presented to customers.
C．To ban negative reviews from online platforms. D．To protect the interests of physical stores.
29．What does the underlined phrase “hold water” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A．Be trustworthy. B．Be one-sided.
C．Be official. D．Be misleading.
30．Why was Fashion Nova forced to pay $4.2 million in a settlement in 2022
A．To remove negative reviews of its products.
B．To post customer reviews on its website.
C．To resolve its allegations of dishonest advertising.
D．To prevent it from facing further criticism and legal fees.
31．What can be inferred about the suggested rule
A．It is well-received. B．It is still under review.
C．It has proven to be effective. D．It has faced disagreement.
D
Britain is the sixth fattest country: within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). For more than a decade, the government has declared obesity (肥胖) a national emergency and promised to take action, only to produce disappointing plans that don’t reach what is required.
It should not have taken a disease like COVID-19 to make people fully aware of the awful consequences of the UK’s obesity. Obesity, as well as its associated conditions of diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure, is strongly connected with a higher risk of death from COVID-19 and will have undoubtedly been a factor in the UK having the highest COVID-19 death rate in Europe.
As the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson’s experience of caching the virus and being admitted to ICU has reportedly resulted in a complete change in him, who has previously prided himself on his dislike of an over-controlling state. The government is expected to set out a new strategy this week, aimed at reducing obesity levels both in the next few months — ahead of a possible second wave of infections and the longer term.
This obvious change is welcome, but only if it results in a complete change in the government’s approach, which doesn’t rely on personal responsibility but on much tougher rules, as with tobacco and alcohol.
There is plenty of evidence about what is needed to cut obesity and in recent years, many reports, including from Public Health England and the former chief medical officer, have called for urgent action. Yet these calls were ignored by the government that has seemingly put the food and drink industry’s financial interests over the health of the nation.
32．What has the government done with obesity in the past ten years
A．It has denied (否认) it is a national emergency. B．It has made unsatisfying plans to reduce it.
C．It has taken effective steps to control it. D．It has called for immediate action on it.
33．What might the British government do next
A．Place less stress on financial interests. B．Set stricter limits on tobacco and alcohol.
C．Carry out a new strategy to cut obesity. D．Take action to reduce COVID-19 death rate.
34．From the passage, we can learn that______.
A．the British government should have paid more attention to solving obesity
B．the fast-spread disease COVID-19 resulted in the UK’s obesity
C．the Prime Minister caught the virus and was admitted to ICU for obesity
D．the British government has taken effective action to battle against obesity
35．What’s the best title for the text
A．UK Suffering from COVID-19 B．UK Ready for a Complete Change
C．A Cause of Highest COVID-19 Death Rate D．Obesity: An Urgent Problem in the UK

If your stress-response is always on, your immune system suffers and your blood pressure increases. 36 . So what are some ways to quiet your body’s stress response and gain some much-needed calm
37
The first way to start your relaxation mode is to breathe. Now, you may be saying, “I breathe all day. If I didn’t, I’d be dead.” 38 . But many of us go through our days without breathing deeply. There’s a difference between stressed-out shallow breathing and slow, deep breaths. This kind of deep breathing leads to all sorts of health benefits such as decreased oxygen consumption, decreased blood pressure, and increased carefulness.
Practice Imagination
You can experience that relaxation mode by trying imagination. My favorite is to imagine I’m on a beach. I use all five senses to try to bury myself in the imagined experience of relaxation on a beach. I try to smell the ocean air and see and hear the waves. 39 .
Play Pretend
40 . I find that if I pretend I’m a professional California surfer, it’s much easier to decrease stress and get into my relaxation mode. A simple “No problem” can go a really long way.
A．That’s kind of true
B．Breathing Exercises
C．Focus On Your Senses
D．And you will easily get into anxiety and depression
E．A little physical exercise could help you better yourself fast
F．I’ve also created another exercise that requires me to play pretend
G．Practice imagination can help us decrease stress by shifting our focus

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。
In the back of my closet is a small box that has followed me to every new address. It’s the first thing I find a place for as the moving truck pulls away. The only remaining contents in it are dozens of notes in my mother’s tidy writing. My mother, who put her business degree to use running a small company with my father, while raising me, was always prepared and always gave me abundant love. By day she made marketing slogans and distribution strategies. By night: bubble baths and bedtime stories. She and I had the same February birthday. Each year my parents arranged wonderful parties.
When I was 3, she learned she had advanced breast cancer and immediately began to prepare by rescarching every available treatment. Each day, she would sit for hours at our dining table, her straight dark hair tied back, surrounded by piles of paper, studying, technical paragraphs.
When I was 7, the materials on the dining table began to change. Wrapping (包装) paper and ribbons (丝带) took the place of her highlighted pages. Paper creased (折) under her fingers. Knots (蝴蝶结) came together with a tiny creak. She had begun making a gift box for me.
Inside, she packed presents and letters for the milestones of my life she would miss—graduation, wedding, and every birthday until the age of 30. My mother died 10 days before our shared birthday. That morning, when I turned 12 and she would have turned 49, I woke up early and opened the box as my mother had shown me.
Neat rows of brightly wrapped presents glowed like the spring tulips (郁金香) that were just coming up in the front yard. In the package marked “12th Birthday”, I found a little ring with an amethyst (紫水晶) at its center. A white card curling around the present read: “I always wanted a birthstone ring when I was a little girl. I hope you like it, too. Happy birthday, darling girl! Love, your Mommy.”
