Fidget toys have been going viral recently, arousing safety concerns among parents and the whole society. To better protect the physical and mental health of young students, the Ministry of Education recently issued a notice, aiming to prevent fidget toys from presenting a risk to the health of the younger generations.
Fidget toys include inhaler nasal sticks and radish knives, which are popular as stress-relievers among students.
The “Energy Stick,” or inhaler nasal stick, has been selling well online recently on platforms such as Taobao. Some online shops have already sold nearly 100,000 sticks, whose prices range from 6 yuan to approximately 128 yuan. The product contains watermelon, tea and orange flavors and even alcohol to attract more customers. The online store salesperson responded by stating that the main ingredients of the product are camphor and mint (薄荷), which do not contain any addictive properties. Meanwhile, Zhao Ting, a medical expert, told the Global Times that some children are likely to get addicted to the “Energy Stick.”
The colorful plastic toy knife, a radish knife, nicknamed “Carrot Knife,” has also skyrocketed an astonishing selling online. “After her classmate had bought a Carrot Knife and said it was a fun toy to use, my daughter also bought one, which makes me anxious.” Julian, a father from Beijing told the Global Times on Saturday. Some of radish knives are so small that they can be gripped in the palm of a child’s hand while others are as long as one meter. There are various ways of playing with the radish knife, with some mimic (模拟) attack at friends as part of a game, according to media reports.
Experts warned that such toys could encourage violence and cause long-term mental harm to children. To change this situation, the government stressed the importance on maintaining strict management, and stopping harmful toys into campus. Schools should organize safety promotion activities to teach students to correctly identify and keep away from dangerous and harmful toys. Also, parents should teach their children to play with toys safely and correctly.
4. Why have fidget toys become popular recently
A. They are beneficial to young students’ well-being.
B. They can help to reduce young students’ pressure.
C. Young students are allowed to use them at schools.
D. Young students can afford them at a suitable price.
5. What may help the “Energy Stick” attract young students
A. Its high value. B. Its plentiful nutrition. C. Its rich contents. D. Its effective sales.
6. What does Julian really want to say about the “Carrot Knife”
A. It brings his daughter a lot of joy. B. It might do harm to his daughter.
C. It has no effect on his daughter. D. It helps his daughter realize her dream.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Different responses made to fidget toys. B. Great importance attached to fidget toys.
C. Practical measures dealing with fidget toys. D. Potential dangers brought about by fidget toys.
C
A famous health tip says you’d better drink eight glasses of water（about two liters）a day. However, the results of a new study suggest that fewer are needed. An international group led by scientists at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology in China found that the average daily water intake of a man in his 20s should be 1.5 to 1.8 liters, while it should be 1.3 to 1.4 liters for a female in the same age group. The study published recently in the Journal Science described, for the first time, a set of equations（方程组）to predict human water turnover, a sign reflecting the amount of water used by the body each day.
The researchers investigated 5,604 participants from the ages of 8 days to 96 years from more than 20 countries, using isotope（同位素）-tracking methods. They have found that a man aged 20 to 35 consumes 4.2 liters of water each day, while a woman aged 30 to 60 consumes 3.3 liters, with the water requirements dropping as he or she ages.
Since the metabolism（新陈代谢）and water exchange on skin can provide 15 percent, while food and drinking respectively contributing half of the remaining 85 percent, people are encouraged to drink less than 45 percent of the total daily turnover, according to the researchers. “The majority of people perhaps don’t have to drink eight glasses of water a day,” says Zhang Xueying, co-first author of the paper and an assistant research fellow at the SIAT.
The total water input and output change according to a number of factors, including body size, physical activity, air temperature and altitude（海拔）, according to the study. “The equations can be applied to individuals around the world,” says Zhang. However, people living in countries with a low human development index（指数）have higher water turnover than people in developed countries, she adds.
The study challenges the long-standing belief and marks the first step towards a personalized prediction of water requirements, says John Speakman, who also works at the SIAT.
8. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By offering examples. B. By analyzing figures.
C. By performing interviews. D. By making predictions.
9. Why do most people drink less than eight glasses of water per day
A. Their daily diets are rich in protein.
B. Their bodies don’t need so much water.
C. They belong to different age groups.
D They take in water from various sources.
10. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A. Living conditions influence human water turnover.
B. The equations are used to determine water turnover.
C. Body size is unlikely to change the output of water.
D. Temperature has nothing to do with the input of water.
11. What does John Speakman think of the study
A. It has a long way to go. B. It remains a riddle.
C. It wins public support. D. It is beyond control.
D
“Few articles change owners more frequently than clothes. They travel downwards from grade to grade in the social scale with remarkable regularity,” wrote the journalist Adolphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a coat’s journey in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resold repeatedly; cut down into a smaller item; eventually recycled into new fabric. But with the improvement in people’s living standards, that model is mind-boggling in the era of fast fashion. The average British customer buys four items a month. And it is reported that 350,000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothes go to landfills in the UK each year.
Yet the gradual revival of the second-hand trade has gathered pace in the past few years. At fashion website Asos, sales of vintage clothes (古董衫) have risen by 92%. Clothing was once worn out of necessity, and now it is simply a way of life. Busy families sell used items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and some fashion people offer designer labels on Vestiaire Collective. Strikingly, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers (零售商) want a slice of the action.
For some buyers and sellers, the switch to the second-hand is born of financial difficulties. Only a few have become worried about the impact of their shopping habit on the planet. But the shift is only a partial solution. Some people worry that some mainstream brands may “greenwash” — using second-hand goods to improve their image, rather than engaging more seriously with sustainability.
However, the biggest concern may be that people keep buying because they know they can resell goods, still chasing the pleasure of the next purchase but with an eased conscience (愧疚). Boohoo, a powerful fast fashion company, has seen sales and profits rise, despite concerns about environmental problems in its supply chain that led to an investigation last year.
A new Netflix series, Worn Stories, documents the emotional meanings that clothes can have: Each old item is full of memories. Actually, a handbag from a grandmother and a scarf passed on by a father are both valuable for us. A love of style is not a bad or an unimportant thing. But a committed relationship is better than a quick flash. Can we learn to appreciate our own old clothes as well as others’
12. What does the word “mind-boggling” underlined in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Unbelievable. B. Popular. C. Reasonable. D. Influential.
13. With the business mentioned in paragraph 2, the author wants to show _______.
A old clothes are more popular than new pieces
B. the online second-hand markets are booming
C. the fashion world begins to favor vintage clothes
D. many clothing brands are innovative in their new products
14 How does the second-hand trade impact people according to paragraph 4
A. It makes people feel free to pursue fast fashion.
B It makes people more cautious about their budgets.
C. It encourages people to choose eco-friendly clothes.
D. It pushes people to be more engaged with sustainability.
15. Which of the following views does Worn Stories advocate
A. Old items have lost favor with the public.
B. Old items are worthy of being long cherished.
C. Older generations attach great importance to old items.
D. Older generations care about the quality of their clothes.

Fidget toys have been going viral recently, arousing safety concerns among parents and the whole society. To better protect the physical and mental health of young students, the Ministry of Education recently issued a notice, aiming to prevent fidget toys from presenting a risk to the health of the younger generations.
Fidget toys include inhaler nasal sticks and radish knives, which are popular as stress-relievers among students.
The “Energy Stick,” or inhaler nasal stick, has been selling well online recently on platforms such as Taobao. Some online shops have already sold nearly 100,000 sticks, whose prices range from 6 yuan to approximately 128 yuan. The product contains watermelon, tea and orange flavors and even alcohol to attract more customers. The online store salesperson responded by stating that the main ingredients of the product are camphor and mint (薄荷), which do not contain any addictive properties. Meanwhile, Zhao Ting, a medical expert, told the Global Times that some children are likely to get addicted to the “Energy Stick.”
The colorful plastic toy knife, a radish knife, nicknamed “Carrot Knife,” has also skyrocketed an astonishing selling online. “After her classmate had bought a Carrot Knife and said it was a fun toy to use, my daughter also bought one, which makes me anxious.” Julian, a father from Beijing told the Global Times on Saturday. Some of radish knives are so small that they can be gripped in the palm of a child’s hand while others are as long as one meter. There are various ways of playing with the radish knife, with some mimic (模拟) attack at friends as part of a game, according to media reports.
Experts warned that such toys could encourage violence and cause long-term mental harm to children. To change this situation, the government stressed the importance on maintaining strict management, and stopping harmful toys into campus. Schools should organize safety promotion activities to teach students to correctly identify and keep away from dangerous and harmful toys. Also, parents should teach their children to play with toys safely and correctly.

A famous health tip says you’d better drink eight glasses of water（about two liters）a day. However, the results of a new study suggest that fewer are needed. An international group led by scientists at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology in China found that the average daily water intake of a man in his 20s should be 1.5 to 1.8 liters, while it should be 1.3 to 1.4 liters for a female in the same age group. The study published recently in the Journal Science described, for the first time, a set of equations（方程组）to predict human water turnover, a sign reflecting the amount of water used by the body each day.
The researchers investigated 5,604 participants from the ages of 8 days to 96 years from more than 20 countries, using isotope（同位素）-tracking methods. They have found that a man aged 20 to 35 consumes 4.2 liters of water each day, while a woman aged 30 to 60 consumes 3.3 liters, with the water requirements dropping as he or she ages.
Since the metabolism（新陈代谢）and water exchange on skin can provide 15 percent, while food and drinking respectively contributing half of the remaining 85 percent, people are encouraged to drink less than 45 percent of the total daily turnover, according to the researchers. “The majority of people perhaps don’t have to drink eight glasses of water a day,” says Zhang Xueying, co-first author of the paper and an assistant research fellow at the SIAT.
The total water input and output change according to a number of factors, including body size, physical activity, air temperature and altitude（海拔）, according to the study. “The equations can be applied to individuals around the world,” says Zhang. However, people living in countries with a low human development index（指数）have higher water turnover than people in developed countries, she adds.
The study challenges the long-standing belief and marks the first step towards a personalized prediction of water requirements, says John Speakman, who also works at the SIAT.
8. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By offering examples. B. By analyzing figures.
C. By performing interviews. D. By making predictions.
9. Why do most people drink less than eight glasses of water per day
A. Their daily diets are rich in protein.
B. Their bodies don’t need so much water.
C. They belong to different age groups.
D. They take in water from various sources.
10. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A. Living conditions influence human water turnover.
B The equations are used to determine water turnover.
C. Body size is unlikely to change the output of water.
D. Temperature has nothing to do with the input of water.
11. What does John Speakman think of the study
A. It has a long way to go. B. It remains a riddle.
C. It wins public support. D. It is beyond control.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A

推理判断题。根据文章第二段“They have found that a man aged 20 to 35 consumes 4.2 liters of water each day, while a woman aged 30 to 60 consumes 3.3 liters, with the water requirements dropping as he or she ages.(他们发现，20至35岁的男性每天消耗4.2升水，而30至60岁的女性每天消耗3.3升水，随着年龄的增长，所需水量会下降)”可知，研究人员通过分析数字来进行研究。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Since the metabolism and water exchange on skin can provide 15 percent, while food and drinking respectively contributing half of the remaining 85 percent, people are encouraged to drink less than 45 percent of the total daily turnover, according to the researchers.(研究人员表示，由于皮肤上的新陈代谢和水分交换可以提供15%的水分，而食物和饮料分别占剩余85%的一半，因此鼓励人们饮水量低于每日总饮水量的45%)”可知，大多数人每天喝的水少于八杯，因为他们从各种来源摄入水。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“However, people living in countries with a low human development index have higher water turnover than people in developed countries, she adds.(然而，她补充道，生活在人类发展指数低的国家的人的水资源周转率高于发达国家的人)”可知，生活条件影响人类的水资源周转率。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The study challenges the long-standing belief and marks the first step towards a personalized prediction of water requirements, says John Speakman, who also works at the SIAT.(同样在SIAT工作的John Speakman说，这项研究挑战了长期以来的信念，标志着朝着个性化预测需水量迈出了第一步)”可知，这项研究仅仅迈出了个性化预测需水量的第一步，故这项研究还有很长的路要走。故选A项。

“Few articles change owners more frequently than clothes. They travel downwards from grade to grade in the social scale with remarkable regularity,” wrote the journalist Adolphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a coat’s journey in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resold repeatedly; cut down into a smaller item; eventually recycled into new fabric. But with the improvement in people’s living standards, that model is mind-boggling in the era of fast fashion. The average British customer buys four items a month. And it is reported that 350,000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothes go to landfills in the UK each year.
Yet the gradual revival of the second-hand trade has gathered pace in the past few years. At fashion website Asos, sales of vintage clothes (古董衫) have risen by 92%. Clothing was once worn out of necessity, and now it is simply a way of life. Busy families sell used items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and some fashion people offer designer labels on Vestiaire Collective. Strikingly, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers (零售商) want a slice of the action.
For some buyers and sellers, the switch to the second-hand is born of financial difficulties. Only a few have become worried about the impact of their shopping habit on the planet. But the shift is only a partial solution. Some people worry that some mainstream brands may “greenwash” — using second-hand goods to improve their image, rather than engaging more seriously with sustainability.
However, the biggest concern may be that people keep buying because they know they can resell goods, still chasing the pleasure of the next purchase but with an eased conscience (愧疚). Boohoo, a powerful fast fashion company, has seen sales and profits rise, despite concerns about environmental problems in its supply chain that led to an investigation last year.
A new Netflix series, Worn Stories, documents the emotional meanings that clothes can have: Each old item is full of memories. Actually, a handbag from a grandmother and a scarf passed on by a father are both valuable for us. A love of style is not a bad or an unimportant thing. But a committed relationship is better than a quick flash. Can we learn to appreciate our own old clothes as well as others’
12. What does the word “mind-boggling” underlined in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Unbelievable. B. Popular. C. Reasonable. D. Influential.
13. With the business mentioned in paragraph 2, the author wants to show _______.
A. old clothes are more popular than new pieces
B. the online second-hand markets are booming
C. the fashion world begins to favor vintage clothes
D. many clothing brands are innovative in their new products
14. How does the second-hand trade impact people according to paragraph 4
A. It makes people feel free to pursue fast fashion.
B. It makes people more cautious about their budgets.
C. It encourages people to choose eco-friendly clothes.
D. It pushes people to be more engaged with sustainability.
15. Which of the following views does Worn Stories advocate
A. Old items have lost favor with the public.
B. Old items are worthy of being long cherished.
C. Older generations attach great importance to old items.
D. Older generations care about the quality of their clothes.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了与从前反复使用衣服的模式不同，现在大家往往追逐快时尚，造成了很大浪费，不过网上二手市场正在蓬勃发展，但只有少部分人是真的认识到了自己的购物习惯对地球的影响，而且一些主流品牌有可能会借此机会来“洗绿”，很多人有可能会继续购买。文章指出，虽然追求风格无可厚非，但是学会欣赏旧衣服实际上是很有意义的。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“as he traced a coat’s journey in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resold repeatedly; cut down into a smaller item; eventually recycled into new fabric (他追溯了一件大衣在上个世纪的历程：反复清洗、修理和转售；缩为成更小件的；最终被回收制成新的织物)”可知，以前的衣服会被反复多次使用，再结合表示转折意义的“But”和划线词的下文“The average British customer buys four items a month. And it is reported that 350,000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothes go to landfills in the UK each year. (英国消费者平均每月购买四件商品。据报道，英国每年有35万吨用过但还能穿的衣服被送往垃圾填埋场)”可知，现在情况和以前不同，衣服更迭速度很快，很多衣服被浪费了。由此可知，以前衣服循环使用的模式在现在快时尚的时代是令人难以置信的，划线词意思应该与unbelievable“令人难以置信的”一致。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“At fashion website Asos, sales of vintage clothes (古董衫) have risen by 92%. Clothing was once worn out of necessity, and now it is simply a way of life. Busy families sell used items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and some fashion people offer designer labels on Vestiaire Collective. Strikingly, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers (零售商) want a slice of the action. (在时尚网站Asos，古着的销量增长了92%。衣服曾经是出于需要而穿，现在它只是一种生活方式。忙碌的家庭在eBay上出售二手物品，青少年在Depop上交易，一些时尚人士在Vestiaire Collective上出售设计师品牌。引人注目的是，它已经成为一个足够大的业务，主流零售商也想分一杯羹)”可知，网络二手交易销量增长，不同的人群在不同的平台交易二手衣服，主流零售商甚至也想参与其中。由此推知，作者是想说明网上二手市场正在蓬勃发展。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, the biggest concern may be that people keep buying because they know they can resell goods, still chasing the pleasure of the next purchase but with an eased conscience (愧疚). (然而，最大的担忧可能是，人们继续购买，因为他们知道他们可以转售商品，仍然在追求下一次购买的乐趣，但良心上有所放松)”可知，二手交易业务让人们有了处理已购商品的方法，解除了购买不必要衣服的愧疚感，可以继续购买衣服，即让人们可以自由地追求快时尚。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A new Netflix series, Worn Stories, documents the emotional meanings that clothes can have: Each old item is full of memories. Actually, a handbag from a grandmother and a scarf passed on by a father are both valuable for us. (Netflix的一部新剧《旧衣往事》记录了衣服的情感含义：每一件旧衣服都充满了回忆。其实，祖母送的手提包和父亲送的围巾对我们来说都很有价值)”可知，这部剧表明旧衣服具有情感含义，充满回忆，富有价值。由此推知，它主张的是“旧东西值得长期珍藏”。故选B项。
