一．信息匹配（共15小题）
1． Music influences your emotions.In turn，your emotions influence your behavior.One of these is your food intake. （1）　 　What does science say about this subject？
Researchers at the University of Arkansas studied how music influences people when they eat in a restaurant.For the study，they used four types of music：jazz，classical，rock，and hip﹣hop.Their results showed that people had more appetite when they listened to jazz music while they ate. （2）　 　 This has a lot to do with emotions.For instance，when you listen to music with harmonic rhythms like jazz，you feel happier.This increases your appetite.
However，another study published in Psychological Reports suggests it isn't only increased appetite that causes people to eat more. （3）　 　 A more stimuli﹣filed environment makes you eat more.In fact，they tend to urge you on to eat and even "encourage" you to eat faster.On the other hand，if the atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed，you're likely to feel more relaxed and spend more time enjoying yourself.For this reason，you'll tend to eat less.
Besides，the study conducted by the Journal of the Academy suggests that the volume of music can also have an effect on how you eat.More specifically，the study states that，with low﹣volume music，you eat better because you make healthier choices.On the other hand，the study claims that music at high volume increases stimulation and stress. （4）　 　 For this reason，restaurants should consider the fact when thinking about the optimization of their products and services. （5）　 　
They equip themselves with the technology needed to provide memorable experiences through music，greatly strengthening their relationship with the customer.
A.Does music influence how you eat？
B.Being in a rush to eat also plays apart.
C.Does your emotion boost your appetite？
D.However，they had less appetite when listening to hip﹣hop.
E.In fact，many catering establishments have already taken action.
F.This could prove to be quite an interesting concept for restaurants.
G.This means you're more likely to order comfort food or other unhealthy options.
2．Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question："Should I jump？" This is what motivation or the lack of it can do.Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. （1）　 　 Like the child on the diving board，you will stay undecided.
（2）　 　More than that，how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal？First，you need to evaluate yourself，your values，your strengths，your weaknesses，your achievements，your desires，etc.Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation.This is quite important，because it is directly related to your commitment.There are times when your heart is not in your work. （3）　 　So，slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment.Clarity（清晰）of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyse your short and long term objectives，keeping in mind your beliefs，values and strengths.Remember that goals are flexible. （4）　 　They also need to be measurable.You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important.For example，you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough. （5）　 　 You should reassess your goals，and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties，some planned，but most unplanned.You cannot overcome them without ample motivation.Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A.This can affect your work.
B.So how should you motivate yourself？
C.However，this should not discourage you.
D.So why should we try to set specific goals？
E.They can change according to circumstances.
F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G.Without motivation，you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
3． The human brain is the command centre for the nervous system and enables thoughts，memory，movement，and emotions.
（1）　 　As the population ages，the challenges for the preservation of brain health increase.It is therefore vital for seniors to understand how to protect it.
Exercise regularly.Regular physical exercise tends to help fight against the natural reduction in brain connections that occur during aging.Multiple studies show that physically active people are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function and have a lower risk of developing brain disease.（2）　 　
Have a "right" nap.Having a nap after lunch can be good for your brain and many seniors have developed such a good habit for long. （3）　 　While a 30﹣min to 90﹣min nap has brain benefits，anything longer than an hour and a half may create problems with cognition，the ability to think and form memories.
（4）　 　Your brain is similar to a muscle ﹣ you need to use it or lose it.There are many things that you can do to keep your brain in shape，such as doing crossword puzzles，reading，or playing cards.You can also learn something new such as musical instruments，drawing，or even digital bine different types of activities to increase the effectiveness.
Eat a Mediterranean diet.Studies show people who closely follow a Mediterranean diet are less likely to have brain disease than people who don't follow the diet.（5）　 　 However，we at least know that omega fatty acids found in olive oil and other healthy fats are vital for your cells to function correctly.
A．Stay mentally active.
B．Explore new interests if possible.
C．But keep in mind that the length matters.
D．Your diet plays a large role in your brain health.
E．The benefits result from increased blood circulation.
F．Maintaining a healthy brain is the primary goal in pursuing health.
G．Further research is needed to decide which parts of the diet help brain the most.
4． Most athletes and parents would agree that sportsmanship is an important aspect of athletics.Although it comes in many forms，everyone can list what sportsmanship looks like.We shake hands before and after games.（1）　 　These examples are just displaying good sportsmanship.
It is easy for parents and kids to get caught up in a game and become too focused on winning.Although winning is important，it is not always the most important aspect of the game.（2）　 　Good sportsmanship is one of those life lessons that should be intentionally learned，taught and practiced.
No matter how much we would like to，we cannot win at everything every time.（3）　 　After a hard﹣fought game，the loser felt frustrated in a losing effort.It can be very difficult to look your opponents in the eye and tell them "good job".But this is what is asked of athletes.How do we handle losing with dignity？
（4）　 　Almost nobody is willing to come second in a game，but only one can be champion.There is no need to be overcome with defeat.Instead，accept failure and face up to it bravely，believing failure is the mother of success.Recognize the winners and congratulate them.
Winning is fun!It is the reward for your hard work.When we participate in a sport that keeps score，it is our responsibility to the team to do our best to win within the rules of the game and within the spirit of the game.（5）　 　
A.Keep losing in perspective.
B.So we need to learn to deal with defeat.
C.Besides，winning doesn't mean you are perfect.
D.We clap for injured players once they are on their feet.
E.There is so much to be gained from an athletic experience.
F.We must ensure they have a fun and safe sports experience.
G.But winning becomes a negative when it is a team's only goal.
5．
Keep current with facts about electric cars
Sales of electric vehicles （EVs） grew 40 percent last year worldwide.Stateside，nearly a third of drivers want their next car to be electric. （1）　 　Almost 100 pure﹣electric vehicles are set to come into the market by the end of 2024.Many manufacturers，including GM，Jeep，and Volvo，have promised to offer fully electric lineups before this decade is done.
（2）　 　Tesla's upcoming reimagined Roadster will start at ＄200，000，while Tesla's current cheapest model is ＄41，000.Plenty of other EVs are even more affordable.Chevy，Nissan，and Hyundai all offer models for around ＄30，000.When assessing the cost of an EV，keep in mind that some models will even qualify you for a federal tax credit（联邦税收抵免）of up to ＄7，500.（3）　 　 A typical EV owner spends between ＄6，000 and ＄10，000 less than a conventional car owner on vehicle maintenance.One reason：EVs don't have transmissions or clutches，two of the costliest parts to repair.
There are about 22，000 public charging ports nationwide，a number that is expected to be more than three times by 2023.But for most EV owners，charging at home is the way to go.（4）　 　
The average EV gets about 250 miles from a full charge，which is far less than the distance most gas﹣powered cars can go on a full tank.But EVs are catching up.Tesla comes the closest.Its newer 2021 version gets closer to 500.（5）　 　 BMW makes a fast﹣charging system that adds about 60 miles of drive time in about six minutes.
A.They'll have options. B.But electric cars are nothing new. C.Then there are the long﹣term savings. D.Charging technology is also improving. E.Some EVs are still eye﹣wateringly expensive. F.The battery is usually the entire floor of the vehicle. G.It takes longer，but you can do it overnight when electricity is cheapest.
6．
Tech Neck
Have you ever bent your head down to look at a screen until your neck muscles hurt？If so，you've experienced tech neck.（1）　 　.It's a common problem，and it's on the rise.
Your neck muscles are designed to hold your head upright.（2）　 　.But bending your head forward for long periods of time can strain your muscles.That can make them sore.
In the past people spent most of their time looking up.But now people spend significant amounts of time looking down at their phones.They often hold them at waist or chest level.This causes people to crane their necks to see the phone，which，in turn，causes tech neck.（3）　 　.
It's probably not realistic to expect people to give up their phones to avoid tech neck.But giving up technology altogether isn't necessary.You can do things to avoid tech neck even while keeping your smartphone.
First you can hold your phone up so you don't have to bend down to look at it.But this can be tiring for your arms.So keep your head upright，and look only with your eyes.Try to sit up straight in front of a screen as well，or it can hurt your back.
Also，take breaks.（4）　 　.If you've been sitting，stand up and walk around.Moving your body will help relax your muscles.If you continue experiencing tech neck，you can do exercise to strengthen your neck muscles.
（5）　 　.If you're aware of the problem，you can take measures to avoid it.
A.Drop down your smartphone right now and have a walk outside
B.Once in a while，look up from your screen，and roll your shoulders back
C.Using smartphones excessively has resulted in tons of psychological problems
D.Bending over to view the screen of a computer on a desk can have a similar effect
E.Tech neck is a common result of using today's technology，but it doesn't have to be
F.They can also move your head around and even crane it forward for a short amount of time
G.Tech neck occurs when the use of phones，computers and other technology causes neck pain
7．Much of the work in today's world is accomplished（完成）in teams.Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. （1）　 　Companies spend millions hiring top business people.Is their money well spent？
（2）　 　They focused on football，basketball and baseball.The results are mixed.For football and basketball，adding talented players to a team proves a good method，but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent；above that level，the team's performance begins to decline.Interestingly，this trend isn't evident in baseball，where additional individual talent keeps improving the team's performance.
To explain this phenomenon，the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate（协调）their actions.
（3）　 　 In baseball，the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates.They conclude that when task interdependence is high，team performance will suffer when there is too much talent，while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower.If a basketball star is，for example，trying to gain a high personal point total，he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate，affecting the team's performance.Young children learning to play team sports are often told，"There is no I in TEAM."（4）　 　
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team，some players may make less effort.Just as in a game of tug﹣of﹣war（拔河比赛），whenever a person is added，everyone else pulls the rope with less force.
（5）　 　.An A﹣team may require a balance ﹣ not just A players，but a few generous B players as well.
A.It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.
B.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.
C.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention.
D.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.
F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.
G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.
8．There is an English saying：" （1）　 　." Until recently，few people took the saying seriously.Now，however，doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.（2）　 　
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body.People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts，blood pressure，breathing and muscles.It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. （3）　 　.If laughter exercises the body，it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs.The group that tolerated（忍耐） the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. （4）　 　.
（5）　 　.They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing ，making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
A.Laughter can prolong one's life.
B.As a result of these discoveries，some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh.
C.The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.
D.It increases blood pressure，the heart beating and breathing；it also works several groups of muscles in the face，the stomach and even the feet.
E.Although laughter helps cure the disease，doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.
F.Laughter is the best medicine.
G.They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.

G．So Beijing is now the first city to host both the Summer and the Winter Olympics.
11．Food safety is a problem in all places around the world and people in different areas of the world prepare foods in different ways.The WHO released five simple rules for preparing food in a safe way.（1）　 　
Key 1：Keep clean
The first key tells about the importance of washing.People should wash their hands often﹣before touching food，while they are preparing food，and any time after they go to the toilet.People should wash all surfaces and equipment used for preparing food.（2）　 　
Key 2：Separate raw and cooked
People should separate raw，or uncooked food from foods that are already cooked and foods that will not be cooked.People should store raw meat，chicken，and fish in containers，or in separate areas.Raw foods should not touch prepared foods.
Key 3：Cook completely.
People should cook eggs and meat，like birds，seafood，and animals，especially carefully.These foods may carry more micro﹣organisms than other foods.（3）　 　It is also important that people re﹣heat cooked food completely.
Key 4：（4）　 　
When people are finished with eating，they should keep the leftover（吃剩的食物）in a refrigerator below 5℃ and shouldn't store it for too long.At room temperature，about 20℃，the amount of micro﹣organisms can increase very quickly.But temperatures above 60℃ or below 5℃ control the growth of micro﹣organisms.（5）　 　
Key 5：Use safe water and raw materials.
People should use safe water and choose fresh foods.Damaged or old food may develop harmful chemicals as it gets older.
A.Keep food at safe temperatures.
B.Eat cooked food immediately，while it is still hot.

12．
How to make a cooking video on TikTok
You may think sharing your cooking videos on TikTok isn't a big deal.（1）　 　 We've asked some experts for tips on how to film，edit and post cooking videos on TikTok.
Keep it simple
"Simplicity is key when creating food content on TikTok，" says MacKenzie Smith，creator of Grilled Cheese Social. （2）　 　 "My Baked Feta Pasta that went viral （走红） earlier this year is a good example of how simple food trends can take over the social landscape，" says Smith.
Show off kitchen skills
（3）　 　 Film something you do special or share a helpful tip some viewers may not know.Smith，who's partnering the National Mango Board，says she's been starting all her videos for the campaign with a demonstration of the best mango cutting technique.
Film from different angles
If you have two smartphones or cameras，try setting them up on tripods （三脚架） at different angles，so you can edit with a diversity of different shots，both overhead and from another good point.Only have one device？No worries.（4）　 　
Break the rules
Just like cooking，the rules of TikTok are meant to be broken.So if you want your viewers to keep coming back to your videos，never be afraid of trying creative ideas. （5）　 　 Make what you want to make.Who knows what will become a trend，and what was a waste of your time？
A．Actually，it isn't as easy as you think.

13．
Is Multitasking Always Good？
Not only do smart﹣phones provide unlimited access to information，they provide perfect opportunities to multitask （doing two unrelated things at the same time）.Any activity can be accompanied by music，selfies or social media updates.Of course，some people pick improper time to text and lawmakers have steeped in. （1）　 　 In Hawaii，it's illegal to text or even look at your phone while crossing the street，and in the Netherlands they've banned texting while biking.
（2）　 　.So you need learn to self﹣control.Understanding how the brain multitasks and why we find multitasking so appealing will help you realize the danger of pulling out your phone.
Twenty states have bans on driving using a hand﹣held phone while still allowing hands﹣free calls.Yet hands﹣free or hand﹣held makes no difference.（3）　 　 The real problem is the switch（切换）of attention between the conversation and road，and that affects performance.
People sense this and when on the phone they drive slower and increase their following distance，but they are far too confident and think these measures reduce risks.（4）　 　.Everyone knows texting behind the wheel is dangerous，but listening to music or chatting with a passenger seems so undemanding as to be.Yet both measurably affect driving.
People multitask merely because they see no harm in it；they see benefits.（5）　 　 Most people will still choose to multitask.But they should be fully aware of how that choice affects them and the potential consequences for themselves and others.They need to pay attention to how much ﹣ or how little ﹣ they are paying attention.
A.They multitask for efficiency，to fight boredom or to keep up with social media.
B.But legislation（法律）won't ban all situations in which multitasking is unwise.
C.Instead of multitasking，they take more rest breaks and get a social media fix during a break.

G.This confidence is especially understandable for very simple tasks.
14．To shoot a scene of people eating food，you need two different perspectives （角度）．To record a bus journey to school，you need three quick cuts．To complete this short，morning rush﹣hour video blog ﹣ or "vlog" ﹣ you need four pieces of music．（1）　 　
With more than 90 million vlogs available online，and 2，000 posted every hour on the YouTube video﹣sharing site，CBS News says they are mainstream with people born after 1995．
（2）　 　More young Chinese people have become inspired to grab a camera and recount the details of their day on Sina Weibo，Bilibili or WeChat Moments．
"The most important thing about vlogging is to tell a good story．Other visual effects are auxiliary （辅助的），" wrote US vlogger Casey Neista，who has almost 10 million subscribers on YouTube．
Chinese vlogger Wang Xiaoguang is an example of a good storyteller．In one of his popular vlog posts，Wang tells the story of traveling to Japan．While there，he took a ride in the wrong direction and got lost．Worse，he forgot to bring a phone charger．（3）　 　
Another key aspect of vlogs is that the content is based on everyday life，according to Ouyang Nana，18，a young Chinese musician．She documents her life at Berklee College of Music．Ordinary as vlogs are，as many as 15 million fans share her wows and woes （喜怒哀乐） on a daily basis．
（4）　 　Peng Yixuan，a news reporter with China Daily，recorded her first experience attending and reporting on the two sessions in March of this year．With a relaxed，chatty and personal approach，she presented the conferences， "bringing more warmth" to the grand political event，according to People's Daily．
There are popular vlogs for beauty，gaming，fashion，food and travel．Vloggers are learning new ways to experience the thrill of them． （5）　 　Then what are you waiting for？Grab a camera!
A．They come from all walks of life．
B．However，he didn't take the number of his hotel．
C．Vlogging has taken China by storm over the past year．
D．Some other popular vloggers choose to show their careers．
E．Vlogs pave the way for future advertising and sales campaigns．
F．Luckily he was able to borrow money from a stranger and escape trouble．
G．Vloggers have these techniques in mind as they film their daily activities．
15．Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you're trying to get work done.（1）　 　 there are several ways to handle things.Let's take a look at them now.
（2）　 　.Tell the person you're sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.
When people try to interrupt you，have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you'll find them then.（3）　 　 .It can help to eliminate（消除） future interruptions.When you need to talk to someone，don't do it in your own office.（4）　 　，it's much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are.
If you have a door to your office，make good use of it.（5）　 　.If someone knocks and it's not an important matter，excuse yourself and let the person know you're busy so they can get the hint（暗示）that when the door is closed，you're not to be disturbed.
A.If you're busy，don't feel bad about saying no

2．Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question："Should I jump？" This is what motivation or the lack of it can do.Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. （1）　G　 Like the child on the diving board，you will stay undecided.
（2）　B　More than that，how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal？First，you need to evaluate yourself，your values，your strengths，your weaknesses，your achievements，your desires，etc.Only then should you set your goals.

7．Much of the work in today's world is accomplished（完成）in teams.Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. （1）　B　Companies spend millions hiring top business people.Is their money well spent？
（2）　E　They focused on football，basketball and baseball.The results are mixed.For football and basketball，adding talented players to a team proves a good method，but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent；above that level，the team's performance begins to decline.Interestingly，this trend isn't evident in baseball，where additional individual talent keeps improving the team's performance.
To explain this phenomenon，the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate（协调）their actions.
（3）　G　 In baseball，the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates.They conclude that when task interdependence is high，team performance will suffer when there is too much talent，while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower.If a basketball star is，for example，trying to gain a high personal point total，he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate，affecting the team's performance.Young children learning to play team sports are often told，"There is no I in TEAM."（4）　D　
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team，some players may make less effort.Just as in a game of tug﹣of﹣war（拔河比赛），whenever a person is added，everyone else pulls the rope with less force.
（5）　F　.An A﹣team may require a balance ﹣ not just A players，but a few generous B players as well.
A.It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.
B.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.
C.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention.
D.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.
F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.
G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.

（4）D．推理判断题。根据上一句" If a basketball star is，for example，trying to gain a high personal point total，he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate，affecting the team's performance.例如，如果一个篮球明星试图获得较高的个人积分总数，他可能会在将球传给队友时自己投篮，从而影响团队绩效。"可知此处说的是体育比赛中的团队精神，所以和D项"Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.明星们显然不遵循这种体育精神的基本原则。"相吻合。故选D。
