A year ago, I started working out with a personal trainer and the results were obvious. The reflection in the mirror was fit and strong, with a narrow waist. This month I’ll be celebrating my 74th birthday, but I feel more like I’m about to turn 40. In fact, I’m in the best shape of my life. And I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late to make changes. If I can do it in my early 70s, then you can do it too.
I haven’t always felt so body confident. As a busy working mum I had the same hang-ups as so many other women. In my forties I fell into the trap of trying to do it all. I raised my daughter Laura, now 43, while working as a NHS clinical leader, which left me feeling stressed and exhausted. By 50 I’d reached breaking point. I ended up breaking down in the doctor’s surgery. And I was signed off work with stress-related depression.
I began to do a lot of soul searching. My burnout had set me on a completely different path. Around this time, my approach to my health was also shifting. So many women hit 50 thinking that’s it and they’re done, but for me it felt like a new beginning.
I enrolled in a gym and learned how to use the equipments. Over the next few years, I went to the gym roughly twice a week. Sometimes I didn’t want to go—but at the end of every session I always felt better.
I wrote and self-published a book called Journey to Chocolate about my seeking for a more balanced and satisfying life. I started eating “clean” with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, avoiding processed food and not drinking alcohol from Monday to Thursday. The changes to my diet made me feel more energetic and alert. I slept better, and managing my weight was much easier.

Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your cart without even realizing it.
Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.
There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”
“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits, “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I’ve started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a cart. If I can’t carry it, I’m not buying it,” he added.
28. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout
A. To encourage healthy lifestyle. B. To save consumers’ shopping time.
C. To provide multiple goods for choice. D. To promote non-essential consumption.
29. What does the underlined word “practice” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Distributing junk food in different areas.
B. Putting milk and eggs at the back of aisles.
C. Rearranging products in supermarkets regularly.
D. Placing fruit and vegetables at the front of the store.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Shopping baskets are better than heavy carts.
B. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.
C. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.
D. Taking a shopping list can be a smart move to avoid impulse buying.
31. Where is this text most likely from
A A business magazine. B. A psychology report.
C. A research paper. D. A shopping guidebook.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了超市布局背后促进非必要消费的特殊原因以及建议。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.(与此同时，牛奶和鸡蛋等必需品被放在商店的后面，以确保顾客走过其他走道，那里有许多不健康的选择，如零食和苏打水，这可能会增加冲动购买的可能性。)”可知，超市布局的目的是促进非必要消费。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. (他们非常清楚，在你逛了几次店，对所有东西的位置有了更好的了解之后，这些策略就会变得不那么有效，所以他们会定期把产品挪到不同的通道，让你感到困惑。)”以及后文“is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”可知，“定期在超市重新摆放产品”的做法并不局限于特定的商店，而是在各种零售连锁店中使用。故划线词意思是“定期在超市重新摆放产品”。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me (这就是为什么我总是随身带着购物清单)”可知，带购物清单是避免冲动购物的明智之举。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your cart without even realizing it. (你有没有想过超市的普遍布局？聪明的设计师在背后巧妙地引诱你走过每一个通道，在你没有意识到的情况下装满你的购物。车)”结合文章主要说明了超市布局背后促进非必要消费的特殊原因以及建议。可知，文章选自一本商业杂志。故选A。

Time is running short to address climate change, but there are possible and effective solutions on the table, according to a new UN climate report released in March.
Only swift, dramatic, and sustained emission (排放) cuts will be enough to meet the world’s climate goals, according to the new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a body of climate experts that regularly summarize the state of this issue.
“We are walking when we should be running fast,” said Hoesung Lee, IPCC chair, in a press conference announcing the report in March. To limit warming to 1.5℃ above preindustrial levels, the target set by international climate agreements, annual greenhouse-gas emission will need to be cut by nearly half between now and 2030, according to the report. It calculates that the results from actions taken now will be clear in global temperature trends within two decades.
“We already have the technology and the know-how to get the job done,” said Inger Andersen, executive director of UN Environment Programme, during the press conference. “Stopping climate change will still be complicated, and long-term emission cuts may largely rely on technologies, like carbon dioxide removal, that are still unproven at scale. In addition to technological advances, cutting emission in industries that are difficult to transform will involve many factors.”
But in the near term, there’s a clear path forward for the emission cuts needed to put the planet on the right track. There are some of the tasks with the lowest cost and highest potential to address climate change during this decade, such as developing wind and solar power, cutting methane (甲烷) emission from fossil-fuel production and waste, protecting natural ecosystems that trap carbon, and using energy efficiently in vehicles, homes, and industries.
32. What is the author’s attitude towards tackling climate change
A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Skeptical. D. Uncertain.
33. What does Hoesung Lee mean
A. It’s impossible to achieve the climate goal.
B. He knows how to cut emission efficiently.
C. The pace of global warming is speeding up.
D. He is dissatisfied with current emission cuts.
34. What is the guarantee of long-term emission reduction according to Inger Andersen
A. Policy. B. Market. C. Funding. D. Technology.
35. What message does this text mainly convey
A. Emission cutting is urgent.
B. Climate change is unstoppable.
C. Global warming is becoming complicated.
D. Meeting climate goals needs cooperation.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章强调了尽快采取措施解决气候问题的紧迫性。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Time is running short to address climate change, but there are possible and effective solutions on the table(应对气候变化的时间不多了，但我们已经找到了可行的、有效的解决办法)”可知，作者对于解决气候变化的问题持积极的态度。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“We are walking when we should be running fast(我们应该快跑的时候却在走)”可知，Hoesung Lee 对于目前的减排措施不满意。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Stopping climate change will still be complicated, and long-term emission cuts may largely rely on technologies, like carbon dioxide removal, that are still unproven at scale.(阻止气候变化仍将是复杂的，长期减排可能主要依赖于技术，如二氧化碳去除，这些技术尚未得到大规模验证。)”可知，根据Inger Andersen的观点，长期减排的保证是技术。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Time is running short to address climate change(应对气候变化的时间已经不多了)”，第二段中“Only swift, dramatic, and sustained emission (排放) cuts will be enough to meet the world’s climate goals(只有迅速、大幅度和持续的减排才足以实现世界的气候目标)”，以及第三段中“We are walking when we should be running fast(我们应该快跑的时候却在走)”等可知，本文主要强调减排问题已经迫在眉睫，因此A选项“Emission cutting is urgent.(减排迫在眉睫)”是文章的主旨，故选A。

What comes to mind when you think about chocolate A candy bar at Halloween Ice cream on a hot day
For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. ____36____ But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. We would also learn that he is just one of more than two million children who perform this difficult labour instead of attending school.
To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. ____37____ It aims to create a different relationship between buyers (chocolate companies) and sellers (cocoa farmers) by encouraging farmers to join together to form a shared business called a cooperative. Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers. ____38____
Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products. ____39____ It is a programme recognizing schools that provide Fairtrade products in cafeterias or include related lessons in curriculum (课程).
Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim—children who want a happy future just like you do. ____40____ By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you.
A. You have the power to change the story.
B. The labels on chocolate do not tell his story.
C. Fairtrade is a way of doing business that prohibits child labour.
D. You can also take action through the Fairtrade Schools network.
E. On many farms, children like Ibrahim perform difficult farming tasks.
F. Cocoa trees grow in the tropical climates of Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia.
G. With more income, farmers can pay adult workers and can send their children to school.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. G 39. D 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文中主要讲述了很多儿童从事艰巨的制作巧克力的工作而无法上学，为了改变这种现象，一些农场实行了公平交易政策。作为消费者你也能帮助这些孩子们。
【36题详解】
上文“For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. (对于来自西非国家加纳的12岁男孩易卜拉欣来说，巧克力并不是甜食，而是甜点。这是关于艰苦的工作。)”指出制作巧克力是12岁男孩Ibrahim的艰辛工作，下文“But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. (但如果它们是这样，我们就会了解到易卜拉欣每天都在种植和收获可可豆，然后用可可豆制成巧克力)”是一种假设，由此可知，空处应用与下文内容相反，应该介绍我们无法了解到Ibrahim的情况，B项“巧克力上的标签并没有讲述他的故事。”符合，下文的they代指The labels on chocolate，故选B。
【37题详解】
上文“To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. (为了改变这样的有害做法，一些农场采用了一种称为Fairtrade的方法。)”指出为了严禁雇佣儿童，一些农场使用了叫做Fairtrade的方法，空处承接上文，对此方法进行介绍，C项“Fairtrade是一种禁止童工的经营方式。”符合，故选C。
【38题详解】
上文“Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers.(由于农民共同工作而不是相互竞争，他们可以向买家索要更高的价格。)”指出农民共同工作而不是相互竞争，他们可以向买家索要更高的价格，空处承接上文，指出这么做的好处，G项“有了更多的收入，农民就可以支付成年工人的工资并可以送孩子上学。”符合，承接上文，故选G。
【39题详解】
上文“Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products.(像你这样的消费者也可以发挥作用。如果可能的话，你可以购买公平贸易巧克力，向糖果公司施加压力，要求其改变劳工惯例，或者要求当地商店销售公平贸易产品。)”可知，许多儿童从事艰巨劳动而不能上学，对此消费者可以发挥一些作用来帮助他们，上文具体提出了消费者可以做的事，空处也应是具体措施，D项“你还可以通过公平贸易学校网络采取行动。”符合，故选D。
【40题详解】
上文“Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim-children who want a happy future just like you do. (巧克力有一个隐藏的故事，影响着像易卜拉欣这样的孩子——他们和你一样想要幸福的未来。)”可知，从事艰巨劳动而不能上学的儿童和你一样也想要幸福的未来，下文“By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you.(通过买公平贸易产品或只是传播这个信息，你可以让巧克力对所有孩子来说都像对你一样甜。)”指出你可以帮助这些孩子——购买公平贸易产品或只是传播公平交易这个信息，由此可知，空处应该是引起下文，指出你能帮助他们，为文中讲述的像Ibrahim这样的孩子从事艰巨劳动而无法上学这样的故事做出一些改变，A项“你有能力改变这个故事。”符合，故选A。

Pimple on the Nose
“Nooo!” screamed Asha as she saw a huge pimple(痘) on her nose. She didn’t have time to cover the pimple as she was running late to school. She gobbled her breakfast, grabbed her bag and got into her school bus just in time. As soon as she entered, kids started laughing. Nobody was willing to make her sit beside them. Even Anita, her bus mate acted a bit differently with her.
Asha was lost in thoughts. A new thought popped in her mind every second. Once she thought “Great! As if homework and exams were not enough, I have to worry about my pimple as well.” The next minute another thought popped in her mind. “I am tired of using that face wash. I still wonder how I agreed to use that horrible thing! How can…” Mr. Shetty, the bus driver said “Asha, do you want to miss the class ” Asha was so lost in her thoughts that she did not even notice that everybody had got down the bus except her.
She did not want to step into the campus. She thought, “What will my teachers think What will my friends think ” After some time, she gathered courage and entered her class expecting that she would be laughed at.
It was a very hard day at school for her. As soon as she got home, she hugged her mother tightly. As she did so she felt all her worries were not even a dot in front of the warm and loving hug.
Later that day, she went to the supermarket with her mother. While coming back she heard people commenting on her pimple. A small child cried, “Daddy! My cherry is on her nose! Get it for me.” She heard some boys murmuring, “If she would have been in our school, she would definitely be chosen as the joker in the dance.”
Asha wondered why people cared so much about her appearance.

【答案】Finally it was time for bed story, and mom asked her to choose a book. Mom said, “What about Cindrella ” “Did Cindrella have pimples too Was her growing up also as difficult as mine ” Asha asked innocently. Her mother smiled and began to explain to her that in fairy tale characters faced greater difficulties in life. Asha showed a little interest in the book but when she saw the book was a little worn out with old cover, she replied, “No. The book looks too old.”
Her mother asked her never to judge a book by its old corer but to pay attention to the details. Then mom began to read the book. Soon Asha was deeply absorbed in the magical story. When mom ended the story, she was moved to tears. Her mother explained, “We often judge people by their appearance. This is why everybody was commenting about you today. Never think about this pimple. It can never change the way you are.” So, an old book taught Asha a lesson for life: Never judge a book by its cover.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Asha由于鼻子上长了一颗青春痘而感到非常困扰，在学校遭受同学们的嘲笑和排斥，让她深感焦虑和不安。然而，通过与母亲的交流和阅读一本旧书，她逐渐领悟到外貌并不是衡量一个人的唯一标准，更重要的是内在的品质和个性。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“终于到了讲床上故事的时间了，妈妈让她选一本书。”以及第二段首句内容“她母亲叫她不要以貌取人，而要注意细节。”可知，第一段可描写Asha因为书本封面破旧而不想阅读这本书。
②由第二段首句内容“她母亲叫她不要以貌取人，而要注意细节。”可知，第二段可描写在听完这本书后，Asha被书的内容所吸引，她也明白了内在的品质和个性才是最重要的。
2.续写线索：Asha鼻子上长了一颗青春痘——上了校车后，孩子们都嘲笑她，她非常不安——在学校一天里，她觉得备受煎熬——晚些时候，她和妈妈一起去超市，又被一个小孩嘲笑了——Asha觉得这一天糟糕极了——到了睡前读故事的时候，妈妈建议她读灰姑娘的故事——可是，Asha看到书本封面太破旧了，不太想读这本书——妈妈告诉Asha外表并不重要，内在的品质才是最重要的——这本书中的精彩内容让Asha明白了妈妈的意思

A year ago, I started working out with a personal trainer and the results were obvious. The reflection in the mirror was fit and strong, with a narrow waist. This month I’ll be celebrating my 74th birthday, but I feel more like I’m about to turn 40. In fact, I’m in the best shape of my life. And I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late to make changes. If I can do it in my early 70s, then you can do it too.
I haven’t always felt so body confident. As a busy working mum I had the same hang-ups as so many other women. In my forties I fell into the trap of trying to do it all. I raised my daughter Laura, now 43, while working as a NHS clinical leader, which left me feeling stressed and exhausted. By 50 I’d reached breaking point. I ended up breaking down in the doctor’s surgery. And I was signed off work with stress-related depression.
I began to do a lot of soul searching. My burnout had set me on a completely different path. Around this time, my approach to my health was also shifting. So many women hit 50 thinking that’s it and they’re done, but for me it felt like a new beginning.
I enrolled in a gym and learned how to use the equipments. Over the next few years, I went to the gym roughly twice a week. Sometimes I didn’t want to go—but at the end of every session I always felt better.
I wrote and self-published a book called Journey to Chocolate about my seeking for a more balanced and satisfying life. I started eating “clean” with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, avoiding processed food and not drinking alcohol from Monday to Thursday. The changes to my diet made me feel more energetic and alert. I slept better, and managing my weight was much easier.

Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your cart without even realizing it.
Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.
There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”
“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits, “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I’ve started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a cart. If I can’t carry it, I’m not buying it,” he added.
28. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout
A. To encourage healthy lifestyle. B. To save consumers’ shopping time.
C. To provide multiple goods for choice. D. To promote non-essential consumption.
29. What does the underlined word “practice” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Distributing junk food in different areas.
B. Putting milk and eggs at the back of aisles.
C. Rearranging products in supermarkets regularly.
D. Placing fruit and vegetables at the front of the store.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A Shopping baskets are better than heavy carts.
B. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.
C. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.
D. Taking a shopping list can be a smart move to avoid impulse buying.
31. Where is this text most likely from
A. A business magazine. B. A psychology report.
C. A research paper. D. A shopping guidebook.
D
Time is running short to address climate change, but there are possible and effective solutions on the table, according to a new UN climate report released in March.
Only swift, dramatic, and sustained emission (排放) cuts will be enough to meet the world’s climate goals, according to the new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a body of climate experts that regularly summarize the state of this issue.
“We are walking when we should be running fast,” said Hoesung Lee, IPCC chair, in a press conference announcing the report in March. To limit warming to 1.5℃ above preindustrial levels, the target set by international climate agreements, annual greenhouse-gas emission will need to be cut by nearly half between now and 2030, according to the report. It calculates that the results from actions taken now will be clear in global temperature trends within two decades.
“We already have the technology and the know-how to get the job done,” said Inger Andersen, executive director of UN Environment Programme, during the press conference. “Stopping climate change will still be complicated, and long-term emission cuts may largely rely on technologies, like carbon dioxide removal, that are still unproven at scale. In addition to technological advances, cutting emission in industries that are difficult to transform will involve many factors.”
But in the near term, there’s a clear path forward for the emission cuts needed to put the planet on the right track. There are some of the tasks with the lowest cost and highest potential to address climate change during this decade, such as developing wind and solar power, cutting methane (甲烷) emission from fossil-fuel production and waste, protecting natural ecosystems that trap carbon, and using energy efficiently in vehicles, homes, and industries.
32. What is the author’s attitude towards tackling climate change
A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Skeptical. D. Uncertain.
33. What does Hoesung Lee mean
A. It’s impossible to achieve the climate goal.
B. He knows how to cut emission efficiently.
C. The pace of global warming is speeding up.
D. He is dissatisfied with current emission cuts.
34. What is the guarantee of long-term emission reduction according to Inger Andersen
A. Policy. B. Market. C. Funding. D. Technology.
35. What message does this text mainly convey
A. Emission cutting is urgent.
B. Climate change is unstoppable.
C. Global warming is becoming complicated.
D. Meeting climate goals needs cooperation.

We would also learn that he is just one of more than two million children who perform this difficult labour instead of attending school.
To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. ____37____ It aims to create a different relationship between buyers (chocolate companies) and sellers (cocoa farmers) by encouraging farmers to join together to form a shared business called a cooperative. Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers. ____38____

You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products. ____39____ It is a programme recognizing schools that provide Fairtrade products in cafeterias or include related lessons in curriculum (课程).
Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim—children who want a happy future just like you do. ____40____ By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you.
A. You have the power to change the story.
B. The labels on chocolate do not tell his story.
C. Fairtrade is a way of doing business that prohibits child labour.
D. You can also take action through the Fairtrade Schools network.
E. On many farms, children like Ibrahim perform difficult farming tasks.
