1.(2025 宝山区一模) At times we all wish that we knew what other people were thinking. (1)   ,people's facial expressions,movements and posture (姿势) can communicate a lot about what is going on in their minds.Understanding these messages hidden in people's language can require a lot of skill,but Joe Navarro's book What EVERY BODY is Saying can help(2)   that ability.
Small changes in body language can help you recognize if someone is(3)   .Even when people don't lie directly,they sometimes try to hide their feelings.Whether you are(4)   with people in business or in your personal life,recognizing these feelings can help you look out for their interests and your own.
According to Navarro,establishing a baseline for how a person behaves is important to avoid(5)   their body language.Most facial expressions and gestures can mean several different things,so(6)    when people use certain expressions.Recognizing this baseline can help you understand whether expressions and gestures indicate a(n) (7)   to something you said or not.For example,rubbing one's eyes may be a sign of (8)   with a topic.But if the person has been rubbing their eyes (9)   ,they might just be tired.
When people think of body language,facial expressions tend to come to mind,and these can tell you a lot.For example,if someone keeps looking away from you,they might be distracted or uncomfortable,and pressing one's lips together often indicates(10)   .And if someone keeps looking away or covering their mouth,it might mean they are(11)   something.
Some people have become good at controlling their facial expressions to conceal their (12)   .When dealing with someone like that,look at the rest of their body,especially their feet and legs.Many people bounce their feet when they are happy or excited. (13)   ,if someone feels uncomfortable,they may point their feet away from the person they are speaking to.
Proximity (接近,亲近) to other people is also part of body language.People stand closer to people they like or feel comfortable with than to strangers or people they don't like.And posture also (14)   .Sitting or standing up straight can show that someone feels confident,while sitting with crossed arms indicates that they feel (15)   or uncomfortable.
Body language can communicate a lot about people's thoughts and feelings,and thus,help you relate to them.

2.(2024 青浦区一模) Ever wondered why you reach for a snack after hitting the gym?Research shows that physical exercise often leads to (1)    food consumption.With countless sports events (2)   ,a new question arises:Can watching sports on a screen also influence how much we eat?
The answer is yes.Our research reveals that watching sports videos can increase candy consumption.But there is more to the story:the (3)    of the sports you are watching plays a crucial role in these effects.
We first invited 112 students to the lab to watch a video and test some candies.The students who saw the sports video ate more candies than those who saw the one without physical activity.To learn more,we invited just the female students to watch videos (4)    either easy or difficult﹣to﹣perform sports.Students who watched the easy sports video ate much more.We can thus conclude that the ease of the exercise shown (5)    impacts candy consumption.
To explain our findings,we looked at research on goal (6)   .When people feel they are not meeting a goal,they push harder;but once they see (7)   ,they tend to relax.For example,after a workout,those aiming to stay fit might feel they have achieved advancement and then ease up on their efforts.This can lead to a (8)    in the drive to pursue related goals,like healthy eating.Research shows that achieving smaller goals (like exercising) can make people feel they have earned a(n) (9)   ,which results in overeating.So completing a workout might make you more likely to (10)    yourself with extra food than if you had not finished your session.
So what is the (11)    for us?Be mindful of how watching sports can affect our eating habits.If you are aiming to stay on track with your diet,watch more (12)    sports.Moreover,when setting dieting goals,remind yourself that real progress comes from (13)    effort,not just imagining yourself doing a workout.Engage in activities that genuinely challenge you,and pair them with healthy eating habits.This way,you can avoid the trap of feeling the fitness goal to be (14)    accomplished and then overeating.
In conclusion,should you watch the Olympic Games if you want to (15)    your diet?Of course,but it might be better to choose the physical activities you find the most difficult to perform —and watch them without moderation.

3.(2024 闵行区一模) Effective monitoring of endangered species is key to their survival.Studying the (1)    ,range,and habits of wild animals is essential to ensure their habitat remains free from development and illegal hunters.Traditional methods of monitoring wild animals,especially large ones,include radio﹣tagging (无线电标记).To do this,individual animals must at first be captured so that collars can be (2)    .
One organization that (3)    this technique was WildTrack.In the late 1990s,the team was using radio﹣collars to monitor black rhinos (犀牛) in Namibia.However,the team soon realized that the chemicals used to immobilize the rhino to fit the collars (4)    female fertility.Not only that but also a large proportion of the radio﹣collars (5)    within the first 6 months and had to be replaced. (6)    ,as animals grew,the collars would tighten,annoying or even hurting them.The method was costly and had the unintended (7)    of altering the rhinos' behavior,making the collected data unreliable.At the same time,the team was working alongside local (8)    .Animal tracking is one of the oldest human skills,and these experts have years of experience in identifying individual animals by their footprints.They could effectively create a true picture of individual rhinos' activities without the use of any invasive (侵入的) techniques.Consequently,the team were interested to know whether the trackers' knowledge could be effectively (9)    a computerized technique for monitoring animal movement.
Within each species,each individual has its own unique foot (10)    .If an animal is sighted and identified just once,and the characteristics of its footprints are properly photographed and measured,its footprint can be (11)    whenever it is sighted again.If that is done repeatedly,conservationists can draw up a (12)    of all,or at least a significant proportion of the individuals within the population.After that,conservationists can use it to identify an animal and its movements by its print.The data gathered can be used for a range of (13)    ,for example,to monitor biodiversity.WildTrack is currently using footprint identification technology in Greece to study the potential effect of a large highway construction through brown bear habitat.
Identifying an animal from its footprint is not without its (14)    ,however,as each time the individual places its foot on the ground,it leaves a slightly different track,according to the ground type,moisture (湿度),and movement.To account for these (15)    ,it is necessary to collect multiple tracks from each animal on a range of surfaces.

4.(2025 虹口区一模) Manufacturing is a one﹣way business.Raw materials go into a factory and finished products come out.Once those goods are (1)   ,producers usually wash their hands of them.Certainly they do not worry that most of the products are eventually burnt or buried in landfill,which (2)    the planet.In only 50 years,the world's consumption of raw materials has nearly become four times as big,to more than 100 billion tons,but only less than 9% of this is reused,resulting in a (3)    of materials.
Industry does talk about sustainability and recycling,but much of that is (4)    intended to improve brand images.Yet even a company's profits can (5)    being environmentally friendly.This is especially so in the case of "gigafactories",so called because their output of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) is measured in gigawatt hours (GWh).
Every carmaking country wants gigafactories.Batteries are the costliest part of an EV,so making them is (6)    .But they contain materials that are pricey and can be hard to obtain.Supply chains are long and complicated,and buyers risk their reputation (7)    by their suppliers' poor environmental and labour standards. (8)    materials makes sense.
Being (9)   ,most gigafactories are designed with recycling in mind from the start.The result is a (10)    production process.The idea is that once (11)    reach the ends of their lives,they should go back to a factory,where their components can be recovered and put into new batteries.
Gigafactories are not yet models of the circular economy,but they are laying the foundations.Northvolt,a battery﹣maker,aims by 2030 to produce 150 GWh of batteries —enough to power some 2 million EVs.By then,around half its raw materials should come from recycling old batteries.Northvolt is not (12)   .Using renewable power and other measures,CATL —the world's biggest producer of EV batteries —thinks it should eventually be possible to reduce the carbon footprint of a battery towards zero.
Could other industries do something similar?Fast fashion is widely known as a(n) (13)    business.It is estimated that the recycling rate for little﹣worn clothing and footwear is just 13%.A big part of the reason is the use of mixed fibres,which are hard to recycle.Clothing companies could,like gigafactories,re﹣engineer their processes to use fibres that are easier to handle.Consumer electronics is another such (14)    that creates piles of waste,despite the fact that electronic circuits containing precious materials such as gold and silver,and electric motors being made from rare earth metals. (15)    could yet be made in the urban mining of last year's cellphones and yesterday's blouses.

5.(2025 浦东新区一模) Browse through any social﹣media feed,and before long a cute video will appear.The supply of these (1)   clips,short parts of videos,is huge.On one social media platform there are 65 million videos tagged(贴标签) #cute.The demand is more (2)   :those videos have been viewed more than 625 billion times.
Long dismissed as girlish and silly,cuteness has recently become a subject of serious(3)   ,inspiring scientific research and academic literature,named "Cute Studies".A new exhibition in London also examined the dominance of cute qualities in culture,bringing together art,games and toys.Cuteness "has (4)   ",says Claire Catterall,the organizer."It has made its way into almost every element of our lives."
What do humans perceive to be cute?In the 1940s,Konrad Lorenz,an Austrian zoologist,found that people are (5)   to babies with big eyes and a small nose,as well as short arms,legs,because they bring joy.So obsessed with these characteristics that cats and dogs may have been (6)   to bring out those same features.Cartoon characters have evolved as well. (7)   ,Mickey Mouse's arms,legs and nose have shrunk while his head and eyes have become larger.
It was exactly in the 20 uh century that cuteness dug in its (8)   claw(爪).Walt Disney brought a parade of wide﹣eyed creatures across the world.Japanese kawaii culture also went global.After the emergence of mass production,cute toys became (9)   attainable across the market.Sanrio,the company behind the Hello Kitty brand, (10)   this trend,generating $3.8 billion in annual sales by producing products on an unmatched scale.
Then,with the Internet,cuteness became (11)   on demand.People could share amusing content of their children or favorite animals any time.In 2022,more than 90,000 videos of cats were uploaded to a major social media platform every day.
Cuteness has real﹣world uses Lovot,a wide﹣eyed companion robot,responds (12)   when hugged.Such an innovation may help relieve (13)   among the elderly.Policymakers,too,might employ this power to (14)   people's behaviour.Putting images on bins of sea turtles or dolphins trapped in rubbish has been shown to reduce plastic waste.Mr.Kringelbach says that an appreciation for cute things is a(n) (15)   in itself,but it also "has the potential to change the world".So why not use the power of cuteness to create a better,more loving world?

One of the main (2)    that cause this frustration is that people allow their (3)   of success to be determined by someone or something else.Another is that they become frustrated at their own (4)    lack of success when comparing themselves with other people.

Psychology researchers Anna V.Fisher,Karrie E.Godwin and Howard Seltman of Carnegie Mellon University looked at whether classroom displays affected children's ability to maintain (2)   during instruction and to learn the lesson content.They found that children in highly decorated classrooms were more distracted,spent more time off﹣task and demonstrated smaller learning (3)   than when the decorations were removed.
"Young children spend a lot of time —usually the whole day —in the same classroom,and we have shown that a classroom's (4)    environment can affect how much children learn," said Fisher,lead author and associate professor of psychology in the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
Should teachers (5)    their visual displays based on the findings of this study?
"We do not suggest by any means that this is the answer to all (6)    problems.Furthermore,(7)    research is needed to know what effect the classroom visual environment has on children's attention and learning in real classrooms," Fisher said. "(8)   ,I would suggest that instead of removing all decorations,teachers should consider whether some of their visual displays do make it difficult for young children to (9)   ."
For the study,24 kindergarten students were placed in (10)    classrooms for six introductory science lessons on topics they were unfamiliar with.Three lessons were taught in a heavily decorated classroom,and three lessons were given in a sparse (稀疏的) classroom.The results showed that while children learned in both (11)    types,they learned more when the room was not heavily decorated.Specifically,children's (12)    on the test questions was higher in the sparse classroom (55% correct) than in the decorated classroom (42% correct).
"We were also interested in finding out if the visual displays were removed,whether the children's attention would (13)    to another distraction,such as talking to their peers,or the total amount of time they were distracted would remain the same," said Godwin,a Ph.D.candidate in psychology and fellow of the Program in Interdisciplinary Education Research.
However,when the researchers totaled all of the time children spent off﹣task in both types of classrooms,the rate of off﹣task (14)    was higher in the decorated classroom (38.6% time spent off﹣task) than in the sparse classroom (28.4% time spent off﹣task).
The researchers hope these findings will lead to further studies into developing guidelines to help teachers design classrooms (15)   .

A cure for the future in the past?
For over fifty years,the people of Britain have relied on the welfare state to make sure they have adequate health services.But now the National Health Service is sick.Government(1)    and underfunding are forcing hospitals to close,and waiting lists for treatment are getting longer.Under such circumstances,it is no surprise that more people are turning to private (but expensive) healthcare.

Consider these case studies:
Maude is 76 years old and has been suffering from arthritis for almost ten years. "The pain in my joints was almost(4)   ,and my doctor referred me to a surgeon at the London Hospital.I was told that I needed (5)   ,but would need to wait for at least two years before I could have the operation.In (6)   ,I started having massage sessions.To my surprise,these were very therapeutic,and while they didn't cure the disorder,they did(7)    it to some extent".
Ron is 46.His high﹣powered city job was(8)   for a series of stress﹣related illnesses,and the drugs he took didn't work well on the nervous strain. "I read about(9)    which involve the whole person rather than the individual symptoms,but I had always doubted about such kind of medicine for all diseases.However,my friend(10)    a dietician who told me that part of my problem was diet﹣related.Basically,the food I was eating was(11)    to my disorder.She gave me a list of foods that would provide the right vitamins and minerals to keep me in good health.At the same time,she advocated a more(12)   lifestyle﹣running,swimming,that kind of thing.I' m a bit of a couch potato,and this kind of lifestyle I had lived was (13)    the problem.Now I feel great!"
So is there still a place in our lives for modern medicine?While it is true that some infections and viruses may be(14)    by turning to traditional medicine,more serious illnesses such as cancer need more extreme measures.We do need our health service at these times,and we shouldn't stop(15)    in its future.But we mustn't forget that for some common illnesses,the cure may lie in the past.

The most recent research looking at the (1)    of over﹣processed food found the most far﹣reaching results.Researchers (2)    direct links between higher consumption of over﹣processed foods and a greater risk of many health issues.
These results are (3)   earlier studies.Diets high in these foods were linked to greater risk of depression and anxiety,according to an analysis published in the journal Nutrients.In one of these studies,risk rose from (4)    just 33 percent of calories from over﹣processed food.A separate study found that taking in just 20 percent of calories from these foods was linked to a 28 percent faster rate of cognitive (5)    compared with people who ate less processed food.
Also (6)    is a study tracking about half a million people living in England,Scotland,and Wales that found the risk of dementia (痴呆) went up by 25 percent for every 10 percent increase in over﹣processed food.While the exact cause﹣and﹣effect relationship is still unknown,the strongest evidence from prospective studies (7)    the idea that eating high amounts of over﹣processed foods increases the risk of depression in the future.

As I've grown older,I'll often hear people of my age say things like "they just don't make (3)    music like they used to."
Luckily,my (4)    as a psychologist has given me some insights into this puzzle.We know that musical tastes begin to (5)    when we're teenagers.By the time we're in our early 20s,these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.
In fact,studies have found that by the time we turn 33,most of us have (6)    listening to new music.Meanwhile,those familiar songs released when you're in your early teens are likely to remain quite (7)    among your age group for the rest of your life.There could be a biological (8)    for this.There's evidence that the brain's ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords,rhythms and melodies gets (9)    with age.So to older people,less (10)    songs might all "sound the same".
But I believe there are some simpler (11)    for older people's dislike of newer music﹣the "mere exposure effect".It means that the more we're (12)    to something,the more we tend to like it.
Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we (13)    as teens seem more intense than those that come later.We also know that intense emotions are (14)    with stronger memories and preferences.All of this might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.
So there's (15)    wrong with your parents because they don't like your music.In a way,it's all part of the natural order of things.

AI programs have the (3)    to perform some tasks currently performed by human workers.These include media jobs,such as writing advertisements and articles,along with many jobs in the financial fields and even tech﹣related jobs such as computer programming.AI is good at (4)    data,so financial analysts and market research analysts may find their jobs (5)   .
Using AI for certain tasks may be a good thing.Perhaps AI will (6)    less interesting work,allowing people to do more satisfying jobs,just as earlier technologies have.Using a machine to do laundry saves time (7)    to washing clothes by hand,and many people use that extra time productively. (8)   ,AI may be able to take over dull tasks,liberating people to be truly creative,since thinking up new ideas is something AI cannot do.
Another big challenge for AI is human (9)   .Most people prefer to communicate with humans rather than machines.Hence,AI is (10)    to replace humans for jobs that require personal connection,such as counseling or teaching.A robot can perform tasks,but it cannot (11)    care about others,and sometimes care is what people need.
AI can process data quickly,but it can only use data that it is given.So it cannot adapt to situations that (12)    significantly from those in its data.Thus,although some AI programs can create content,none of them can be truly creative as the content AI creates will (13)    consist of some combination of its sources.
Finally,if the AI receives false information,it has no way of recognizing that as false.Humans can also be fooled,but life experience can tell them whether a claim is reasonable,an ability that AI does not have. (14)   ,AI must continually be fact﹣checked to make sure its data,and therefore its conclusions,are accurate.
Thus,although AI may replace some jobs,others require a human (15)   .At best AI may eliminate certain boring parts of tasks so that humans can focus on things that only they can do.
