Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term “couch potato” first appeared in print in the December 1979 edition of the Los Angeles Times. Since then, it has become a familiar term for a person who spends a lot of time sitting, and little time exercising. Although there does not seem to be any particular reason why the term “couch potato” is used rather than “couch tomato”， a person may become a “couch potato” because living this way is said to make you round like a potato.① The term is also said to have something to do with high calorie(卡路里) foods like potato chips.
People now would say “couch potato” whenever they talk about overweight and obesity(肥胖). Indeed, “couch potatoes” are believed to have heart disease risks, which can be avoided by regular exercise.②
It is true that technology and modern life in general make us sick, fat, lazy and physically/mentally soft.③ The more time people spend using technology, particularly televisions and computers, the less time they will spend being physically active.
“Couch potato” kids are a particular concern. Media reports repeatedly claim that children today are fatter than their elder generations, but less athletically skilled, less interested in physical activities and more addicted(上瘾的) to “junk food” and technology such as televisions and computers. The message is clear: Today's children are fat because they are lazy and eat too much. Moreover, because technology is becoming more sophisticated(复杂的), children are less able to resist(抵制) technology's attraction, and are more likely to spend more time using technology, less time doing physical activities and, therefore, more likely to be fat.④

Picture this: You're home alone, and it's nearing dinnertime. You grab a box of cookies from the cupboard, some olives and baby carrots from the fridge. Then you eat right off the kitchen counter with your fingers. All told, the meal takes five minutes, one plate, and no utensils(用具). You, my friend, have just made yourself a “girl dinner”．
What once may have been a sheepish tradition has recently achieved viral fame on the Internet thanks to Olivia Maher, who first coined the phenomenon in a video posted on TikTok. The trend has since amassed nearly one billion views and TikTok users have started sharing their own creations.
There are some potential benefits of this kind of meal. For one, slightly smaller portions(份额) before bedtime could be a good thing. “It's really nutritionally better to eat a larger meal in the middle of the day and a lighter meal at night，” says Kima Cargill, a psychology professor. “A lot of cultures will just eat something like leftovers or soup and bread for dinner，” she says, “which from a digestion viewpoint, is a lot better.”
Women often assume caretaking roles in a household, on top of all their other daily life responsibilities. “Girl dinner encourages people to listen to and follow their heart. It can be a celebration of freedom, if only for one meal, from that domestic labor，” nutritionist Alissa Rumsey says.
The trend has also raised eyebrows at what some argue is support for low calorie snacks in small, sometimes insubstantial portions. “My biggest concern with this is that many of these ‘girl dinners’ that we see on social media are not enough, which can both promote and normalize disordered eating and under eating，” Rumsey says.
Her advice: avoid and unfollow any content creators that make you feel shame. Even if a video isn't directly about weight loss, it's hard not to see a person's daily food intake as guidelines on how to look like them. But what works for them may not work for you.
(　　) 1. What does the term “girl dinner” refer to
A. A low effort meal.
B. A weight losing diet.
C. A time honored recipe.
D. A money saving snack.
(　　) 2. What aspect of the girl dinner is appreciated by Kima Cargill
A. It's rich nutritionally.
B. It's often in small portions.
C. Its tendency to be eaten at home.
D. Its expression of cultural identity.
(　　) 3. What does the girl dinner mean to women according to Alissa Rumsey
A. Tiresome housework.
B. Effort to meet kids' wishes.
C. An opportunity for socializing.
D. A break from daily responsibilities.
(　　) 4. What does Alissa Rumsey recommend
A. Limiting your time online.
B. Avoiding following others' diets blindly.
C. Taking in low calorie snacks in small portions.
D. Reducing the frequency of eating the girl dinner.
B[2025苏州吴江震泽中学月考]
Beauty is only skin deep, but the measure of beauty is something that has worried humans for a very long time, and this is still a hot topic well into the 21st century. Whether male or female, people since ancient times have experienced judgement being passed by others based on their appearance, whether in stating preferences for marriage partners, in the securing of a job, or even in offering assistance to a stranger.
From a biological angle, human beings are able to appreciate their own as well as the outer appearance of others. This has its basis in the physical world around us, where many living things found in nature are closely linked to the perfection that the golden ratio(黄金比例) shows. So, the pure physical perfection in the build of a male happens when the shoulder to waist ratio of a man is equal to 1.618, the golden ratio. Bodybuilders thus train to get a perfect figure in males. Likewise, women try to have an hourglass figure, through whatever ways, whether by dieting and exercise, or through make up or plastic surgery.
However, is beauty an objective feature or a subjective one considered through the “eye of the beholder(旁观者)”？ Research carried out worldwide on beauty shows that the way people view beauty differs across time and culture. Hardly any common features exist across all cultures. This completely explains why cultural evaluations(评价) of beauty greatly differ.
Indeed, to borrow the words of the great poet, John Keats, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”， as long as we, as a human race, have the power to recognize and appreciate different forms of beauty in our fellow human beings, we will continue to increase our awareness of aesthetic(审美观) and find a reason to admire and value the different aspects of beauty which make each of us uniquely beautiful.
(　　) 5. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The standard of beauty is measurable.
B. People are increasingly worried about appearance.
C. Good looking people are perfect marriage partners.
D. Physical appearance is important throughout history.
(　　) 6. What does the author want to show by mentioning the golden ratio
A. Many living things in nature are perfect.
B. People are born to appreciate appearance.
C. Men try different ways to build up strength.
D. Women get into shape by dieting and exercise.
(　　) 7. The author probably agrees that ________．
A. we can judge a book by its cover
B. evaluations of beauty are unchangeable
C. beauty standards are closely related to culture
D. a beautiful face excuses someone from punishment
(　　) 8. What is stressed in the last paragraph
A. Beauty can be found in different aesthetic standards.
B. Different aspects of our life are affected by aesthetics.
C. Human beings have the right to create beauty.
D. Poems have the power to express beauty.

A[2025山西阳泉一中期中]
We all know well songs getting stuck in(挥之不去) our head while we're awake, but it turns out this can happen during sleep as well. A new study shows that earworms getting into our brains at night could cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.
Neuroscientist(神经科学家) Michael Scullin from Baylor University and his coworkers used surveys of 199 people, as well as a sleep lab test involving 50 volunteers, to measure(衡量) the influence of listening to music before bedtime on sleep.
In the survey part of the study, those who regularly listened to music during the day were more likely to report lasting night time earworms, which then had a bad effect on sleep quality through the night. For the lab test, people were played instrumental or standard versions(版本) of “Shake It Off”， “Call Me Maybe”， and “Don't Stop Believin'”. Tests were used to measure their sleep quality.
Earworms were reported throughout the night by the people surveyed, with those catching an earworm taking longer to fall asleep, spending more time in the light stages of sleep, and waking up more times during the night. Surprisingly, the instrumental versions of the songs caused about twice as many earworms and more sleep problems than the standard ones.
Past studies have connected late night music listening with better sleep in those with insomnia,_perhaps because it can relax the body. The researchers behind the new study suggest that actually it might be worse for our sleep—even after the songs stop, our brains continue to deal with them for several hours.
Scullin suggests avoiding listening to music right before bed to lower the chance of catching earworms. “Doing some other cognitive(认知的) activities before sleeping, like making a list of jobs for the next day, might also help clear the mind，” Scullin says.
(　　) 1. Which description best explains earworms
A. Worms entering one's ears. B. Worms stuck in one's brain.
C. Problems caused by sleeplessness. D. Music repeating in one's mind.
(　　) 2. What do we know from the survey part of the study
A. Different music has the same effect on sleep at night.
B. Our brain stops dealing with music when we are asleep.
C. Daytime music listening has a bad effect on sleep.
D. Late night music listening leads to better sleep at night.
(　　) 3. What does the underlined word “insomnia” mean in Paragraph 5
A. Curiosity. B. Annoyance. C. Confusion. D. Sleeplessness.
(　　) 4. How can people improve their sleep quality according to Michael Scullin
A. By working out a schedule for tomorrow.
B. By doing exercise to relax the body.
C. By listening to music right before going to bed.
D. By doing nothing to clear the mind.
B[2025湖南多校期中联考]
Lack of sleep has been linked with some health problems. As a result, the National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults receive at least seven hours of shut eye each night. Now, new research offers another reason to focus on nightly rest. According to results from Stockholm University, a few nights of fitful sleep can make you feel years older than you really are, while sleep with a consistent pattern(持续的模式) in the same time and space can have the opposite effect, making you feel younger.
“Sleep has a main effect on how old you feel, and it's not only your long term sleep patterns，” says Balter, a co author of the study. “Even when you only sleep less for two nights, that has a real effect on how you feel.” This feeling is known as “subjective(主观的) age”. Previous studies have found that how old a person feels, both physically and mentally, may have a real effect on health and lifetime.
In the research, Balter and another sleep expert, John, first asked 429 people questions to check their past month of sleep. They found that with each day of bad sleep the average person had got in the past month, their “subjective age” increased by nearly three months. And those who had experienced no days of bad sleep said they felt an average of six years younger than their true age. Next, they ran an experiment in which 186 volunteers experienced two consistent nights of bad sleep—a sleep limited to four hours per night, or two consistent nights of good sleep—nine hours of enough sleep. Then, each volunteer described their “subjective age”. After two nights of limited sleep, the volunteers reported feeling an average of 4.4 years older than their true age, while those with two nights of enough sleep felt an average of three months younger.
“If you protect your sleep, you can feel younger，” Balter says. “We know those who feel younger than their actual age live healthier and longer, so try to develop good sleep habits.”
(　　) 5. What does the underlined word “fitful” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Irregular. B. Unexpected. C. Enough. D. Proper.
(　　) 6. What is the effect of sleeping less for two nights according to Balter
It improves people's emotions.
B. It makes people feel much older.
C. It changes long term sleep patterns.
D. It has no effect on “subjective age”．
(　　) 7. How did Balter and John carry on their research into sleep
A. By making assumptions. B. By drawing comparisons.
C. By asking other experts. D. By checking historical data.
(　　) 8. What does Balter want to do in the last paragraph
A. Make a suggestion. B. Make a complaint.
C. Show his actual age. D. Show his personal habit.

Ⅱ. 阅读理解。
A
As far as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.
I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbors would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.
I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.
I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learned this is not true. After a lot of self reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learned to like myself. While two decades of self hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.
I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water_off_a_duck's_back．
(　　) 1. What conclusion can we draw as to the author from the first two paragraphs
A. She could change her weight at will.
B. She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.
C. She had different beauty standards from others.
D. She tried to love others to build her confidence.
(　　) 2. From the mainstream's viewpoint of the body shape, what shouldn't be valued
A. Being skinny.
B. Being moderate.
C. Being strong.
D. Being overweight.

A. A wet duck.
B. Something important.

In the modern era, mirrors often show physical images(形象) as well as the mental struggles of self awareness, especially among teenagers. The glass surfaces, found in bedrooms and bathrooms around the world, have seen the silent battles that many young individuals face.
Appearance anxiety has become a widespread issue, with social media and peer pressure acting as magnifying glasses(放大镜) that mislead them about their self worth. Filtered(滤镜处理过的) photos posted on platforms like TikTok have created an environment where seeking perfection seems not just desirable but necessary. To make matters worse, the strong desire for the perfect appearance has led many teenagers to make unhealthy comparisons, often resulting in negative self talks and more worries about their looks.
The deep rooted problem can affect mental health in particular. Studies have shown that teenagers who are overly concerned with their looks are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and low self confidence. The pressure to be up to beauty standards is huge, and it often begins at a young age. The seemingly perfect images in magazines, on television and social media platforms create an unrealistic standard for teenagers to measure themselves against. Unfortunately, it can lead to a lasting state of dissatisfaction with their looks.
To solve the problem, it is important to understand that beauty is not a one size fits all concept. It varies from person to person. We ought to encourage teenagers to accept their unique features and to understand that their worth is not defined by their looks. Parents, educators, and society as a whole have a role to play in developing a more acceptable and positive view of beauty. We are also supposed to teach young people that the journey towards self acceptance is just as important as acquiring great knowledge and developing other skills.
(　　) 5. What is the author's purpose in mentioning “mirrors” in Paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To provide examples.
C. To show his argument.
D. To make comparisons.
(　　) 6. What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. Mental struggles of teenagers.
B. Problems faced by teenagers.
C. Causes of teenage appearance anxiety.
D. Effects of social media on teenagers.
(　　) 7. What is a result of teenage appearance anxiety according to the text
A. Teenagers are not satisfied with beauty standards.
B. Teenagers are more likely to suffer mental problems.
C. Teenagers are more likely to have poor physical health.
D. Teenagers are not satisfied with social media platforms.
(　　) 8. What does the writer try to do in the last paragraph
A. Call on parents to understand teenagers better.
B. Encourage teenagers to acquire more knowledge.
C. Inspire teenagers to develop as many skills as possible.
D. Give advice on how to deal with teenage appearance anxiety.

Are you trying to manage your weight or a health condition, but find yourself wolfing down a large box of ice cream or a big bag of chips __1__ Here's how to really focus on your food so that you eat the right things in the right amounts.
Studies have found that we can put away as much as 25 per cent more calories if we focus on a phone, tablet or television at the same time. __2__ That is because, with such devices occupying your attention, you're not aware of how much you have already had. So, put down the devices and eat at a table—preferably with a partner, friend or the whole family. __3__ As a result, you'll eat less and enjoy it more.
To be really aware of the food you're eating, pause halfway through your meal and ask yourself if you're still hungry or whether you might be close to being full. Are you enjoying the taste and the texture(口感) of what you're eating, rather than just packing it away It takes around 20 minutes for your brain to realize that your stomach is full. __4__
__5__ It's very easy to use food—cooking or consuming it—to avoid stress and a busy life. If you do find yourself overeating, stop and ask yourself if you are bored, tense or depressed. Once you identify the reason behind your mindless eating, you're in a better position to put an end to it.
A. It may not be about food.
B. Your attention may be attracted by an interesting game.
C. It's because you feel hungry when you're fully occupied.
D. Do you eat more than you really need before you realize it
E. Worse still, there's evidence that you eat more later in the day.

Word spread that Derek Rodgers, who had Down's syndrome(唐氏综合征), wanted to attend the Homecoming Dance(返校日舞会).
I, a new journalist for the Campus News, was curious who would be his dance partner and decided to cover his story. When I accompanied him on the way home one day, we were approached by Kelsey Stuart, a popular student.
“Derek, I'd like to ask you to the Dance，” she smiled.
Derek was shocked. He couldn't believe that one of the prettiest girls in school was asking him.
Derek's face went red. “Why me？” he asked. “And shouldn't boys be the ones to do the asking？”
“I doubt you would, after all the rough experiences you've had. And we actually have more in common than you think. We both really want to go to the Dance. And we are not like those who are only concerned about personal appearance.”
“But what do you see in me How can I be the sort of guy you want to go with？”
“I know you are a gentleman and you'll treat me like a lady and I'll feel safe with you，” she said, leaving with a smile.
The entire school went crazy when they learnt that Kelsey was Derek's dance partner.
At first there were words that were not so nice about them. Their classmate, Billy, made fun of them by giving them stupid names. Betty, Kelsey's best friend, stopped hanging out with her because she couldn't understand her choice at all.
Despite the words around, every day after school, the two still stayed behind to practise their dance routine. Kelsey patiently taught Derek how to lead the steps, move to the beat of the music and spin(旋转) with elegance. Slowly but surely, they improved their dancing together.
The day of the Dance arrived. Kelsey got into a new dress and Derek put on a well cut suit.

Unit 4　Looking good, feeling good
Section 1　Welcome to the unit & Reading
Ⅰ. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“沙发土豆”这个概念，以及人们随着科技的发展变成了“沙发土豆”，即逐渐地缺乏锻炼、影响身体健康的现象。
一、 1—4 ABCD
1. 段落大意题。根据第一段中“a person may become a ‘couch potato’ because living this way is said to make you round like a potato”和“The term is also said to have something to do with high calorie foods like potato chips.”可知，第一段主要是介绍了人们会被叫作“沙发土豆”的原因。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，科技的发展使人们生病的原因是人们花费了很多时间在电视、电脑等科技产品上，而很少进行身体锻炼。
3. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“‘Couch potato’ kids are a particular concern. Media reports repeatedly … ‘junk food’ and technology such as televisions and computers.”可知，孩子们的身体健康更应该要引起关注。
4. 推理判断题。通读全文可知，整篇文章都在说随着科技的发展，人们越来越依赖电视和电脑等科技产品而缺乏身体锻炼，从而成为一个“沙发土豆”，导致身体状况越来越差，尤其是孩子们目前也朝这方面发展。由此推知，作者希望大家能少依赖科技，远离电脑、电视等，并且多加强锻炼。
二、 ①【分析】 本句是主从复合句。Although there does not seem to be any particular reason why the term “couch potato” is used rather than “couch tomato”是although引导的让步状语从句。why the term “couch potato” is used rather than “couch tomato”是why引导的定语从句，修饰先行词reason。because living this way is said to make you round like a potato是原因状语从句。
【译文】虽然没有什么特别的理由说明为什么用“沙发土豆”而不是“沙发番茄”，但一个人可能会成为“沙发土豆”，因为据说这种生活方式会让你像土豆一样圆。
②【分析】 本句是主从复合句。which can be avoided by regular exercise是which引导的非限制性定语从句。
【译文】事实上，“沙发土豆”被认为有患心脏病的风险，而这可以通过经常锻炼来避免。
③【分析】本句是主从复合句。It是形式主语。that technology and modern life in general make us sick, fat, lazy and physically/mentally soft是由that引导的主语从句。
【译文】的确，科技和现代生活总体上使我们生病、肥胖、懒惰和身心软弱。
④【分析】本句是主从复合句。主句由and连接3个并列的谓语；because引导原因状语从句。
【译文】此外，由于技术变得越来越复杂，孩子们抵制科技吸引力的能力越来越差，他们更有可能花更多的时间使用科技产品，花更少的时间进行体育活动，因此更有可能变胖。
Ⅱ. 1—5 CGABD
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了如何在不去健身房或节食的情况下减掉腹部赘肉。
1. 根据空前“Losing weight is a popular fitness goal: more than half of Americans list it as important to them.”可知，超过一半的美国人将减肥列为重要目标。这说明他们担心他们的体重问题，所以C项“很多人都担心自己的体重”和上文是顺接关系，符合语境。
2. 该段小标题Turn to foods that leave you feeling fuller longer.建议你选择那些能让你长时间保持饱腹感的食物。而空前“Certain foods give short ‘bursts’ of energy and satisfaction, but leave you hungry before your next meal.”提到某些食物只能给你短暂的能量和满足感。G项“专注于其他提供长期满足感的选择，而不是这些食物”承接上文提出的问题并提供解决方案，符合语境。
3. 根据空后“You're more likely to eat junk food like hot dogs and fried chicken when you're tired out.”可知，当你疲惫的时候，更容易吃些垃圾食品，也就是说你很难控制自己的食欲。A项“对食物的欲望也很难控制”和下文是顺接关系，符合下文所表述的困倦容易导致垃圾食品的摄入。
4. 空处是该段小标题。根据下文“Make an effort to spend time with people who have a healthy lifestyle, like walking … Limit your time with people who have unhealthy hobbies”可知，该部分主要是建议你和那些有健康生活方式的人在一起，因为他们可以为你的减肥提供支持。B项“寻找一个积极支持你健身的社交圈子”能够概括本段主旨。
5. 根据该段小标题Start recording your weight.和空后“If the numbers start to go up, you'll know that it's time to reconsider your habits.”可知，空处应该是说记录体重的作用。D项“记录你的体重真的很有效”符合追踪体重变化的建议。
Ⅲ. 1—5 BCADC　6—10 BCADC　11—15 BCBAD
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了40岁的父亲Jeremiah Peterson在一次与他的孩子们的远足后，经历了一个令人惊叹的转变。他下定决心要强身健体，开始戒酒，坚持生酮食法，成功减重92磅。现在他用自己的故事和健身知识给他的社交媒体粉丝们做教练，并激励他们。
1. discouraged使泄气；experienced经历；prevented防止；improved提高。根据下文内容可知，Peterson经历了一个令人惊叹的体型上的转变。
2. allowed允许；warned警告；motivated激励；noticed注意。根据语境可知，Peterson在这个活动中受到了激励，产生了减肥的动力，be motivated to do sth意为“被激励去做某事”。
3. hike远足；diet规定饮食；program节目；project项目。根据下文the hiking trail可知，Peterson是在与家人去远足感到疲劳后，才想到需要减肥，短语go on a hike意为“去远足”。
4. let out发出；taken out取出；picked out挑选；worn out使筋疲力尽。根据上文weighed 290 pounds及下文exhausted可知，过胖的人在远足中会很快感到疲劳。
5. changes变化；contributions贡献；memories记忆；preparations准备。根据上文Instead of remembering all the good可知，这里指的是美好的回忆。
6. turns机会；breaks短暂休息；photos照片；notes笔记。根据上文out of breath可知，Peterson中途需要多次短暂休息。
7. lucky幸运的；honored荣幸的；determined下定决心的；frightened害怕的。根据这次旅行经历，Peterson下定决心去健身。be determined to do sth意为“下定决心做某事”。
8. insisting on坚持；leading to导致；referring to参考，指的是；adding to添加。根据下文After 150 days of a strict diet可知，Peterson坚持生酮食法。
9. another又一，再一；other别的；most最多；more更多的。根据语境可知，Peterson不仅每天远足2小时，并且还在健身房里再多花1小时锻炼身体。“数词＋more”意为“再，多”，one more hour＝another hour。
10. practice实践；consideration考虑；exercise运动；attention注意。Peterson的体重减了92磅，是150天节食和大量运动的结果。
11. suddenly突然地；non stop中途不停地；immediately立即地；together一起。上文说Peterson健身运动前与孩子们远足时感到气喘吁吁，沿途不得不多次休息，现在健身后，徒步远足时应该不会气喘吁吁了，所以不需要中途停下休息，健身前后效果形成对比。
12. please使满意；compare比较；inspire激励；force逼迫。根据上文说Peterson给他的社交媒体粉丝们做教练可知，应该是激励粉丝们积极健身。
13. purpose目的；reason理由；advantage优点；direction方向。根据下文Finding your reason可知，作者在此强调的是你做事的理由。
14. essential根本的；convenient方便的；personal个人的；available可获得的，可利用的。根据下文“If you don't have a strong reason”可知，作者觉得你该找出最基本的做某事的理由，你才有可能成功。
15. achievements成就；imaginations想象；conditions环境；actions行动。根据全文Peterson健身成功后做他粉丝的教练的故事可知，他希望粉丝先找出想要健身(付诸行动)背后的强有力的理由，这样才有可能获得自己想要的结果。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“girl dinner”这一现象的起源、特点、利弊等。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“All told, the meal takes five minutes, one plate, and no utensils. You, my friend, have just made yourself a ‘girl dinner’．”可推断“girl dinner”指的是一顿不费力的饭。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，Kima Cargill欣赏“girl dinner”的地方在于它常常量少，而从消化的角度来看，晚餐适合这样安排。
3. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“‘Girl dinner encourages people to listen to and follow their heart. It can be a celebration of freedom, if only for one meal, from that domestic labor，’ nutritionist Alissa Rumsey says.”可知，Alissa Rumsey认为“girl dinner”对于女性而言，是摆脱日常责任的一个喘息机会。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But what works for them may not work for you.”可知，Alissa Rumsey建议不要盲目跟从别人的饮食习惯。
B
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要谈论了人们有能力认识和欣赏外表美，不断提高审美标准，并强调了在不同的审美标准下可以发现不同的美。
5. 段落大意题。根据第一段“Beauty is only skin deep, but the measure of beauty is something that has … partners, in the securing of a job, or even in offering assistance to a stranger.”可知，第一段主要讲的是外表在整段历史长河中都很重要。
6. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“From a biological angle, human beings are able to appreciate their own as well as the outer appearance of others … linked to the perfection that the golden ratio shows.”可推知，从生物学的角度来说，人类既能欣赏自己，也能欣赏别人的外表。基于人类周围的物质世界，自然界许多生物都与黄金比例所显示的完美密切相关，所以人们天生就会欣赏外表美。
7. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Research carried out worldwide on beauty shows … why cultural evaluations of beauty greatly differ.”可推知，审美标准与文化密切相关，作者同意这种说法。
8. 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，借用伟大诗人约翰·济慈的话，“美的事物是永恒的喜悦”，只要我们作为人类，有能力认识和欣赏我们人类同胞中不同形式的美，我们就会不断提高我们的审美意识，并找到理由去欣赏和重视美的不同方面，这些方面使我们每个人都变得独特美丽。所以最后一段强调的是在不同的审美标准下可以发现不同的美。
Ⅲ. 1. that/which　2. reserving　3. noses
4. healthily　5. are left　6. yours　7. a　8. from　9. anxiety　10. but/yet
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了虽然有不少人认为独自吃饭有消极的一面，但这种饮食方式可能也有它积极的一面。
1. 考查定语从句。定语从句修饰先行词fuel，从句缺少宾语，指物，故用that或which引导。
2. 考查非谓语动词。此处为find＋宾语＋宾补结构，ourselves与reserve构成主动关系，故用现在分词做宾补。
3. 考查名词复数。nose为可数名词，根据下文of others可知，应用复数形式。
4. 考查副词。修饰动词eat，应用副词healthily，做状语。
5. 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。空处为从句谓语动词，主语you与谓语动词leave构成被动关系；结合上文you might end up watching someone enjoy a pizza可知，应用一般现在时；主语为you，谓语用复数。
6. 考查代词。空处做表语，表示“你的选择权”，应用名词性物主代词yours。
7. 考查冠词。necessity表示“必要的事物”为可数名词，此处为泛指，且该词是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，故用不定冠词a。
8. 考查介词。固定搭配suffer from，意为“患有……疾病”。
9. 考查名词。做介词的宾语，应用名词anxiety，其作为“焦虑”不可数。
10. 考查连词。结合上下文语境可知，此处为转折关系，应用but或yet。
Ⅳ. 1. Nowadays, people are paying more attention to keeping healthy. 2. Some teenagers see being slim as being beautiful and try their best to lose weight. 3. However, it's especially important to develop a balanced healthy diet in the long term. 4.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了挥之不去的歌曲(即脑中的旋律)也会发生在睡眠中，一项新的研究表明，夜间脑中旋律会对入睡和持续睡眠产生不良影响。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“We all know well songs getting stuck in our head … earworms getting into our brains at night could cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.”可知，earworms指的是在脑海中挥之不去的音乐，即“Music repeating in one's mind”。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the survey part of the study, those who regularly listened to music during the day were more likely … a bad effect on sleep quality through the night.”可知，白天听音乐对睡眠有不良影响。
3. 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“Past studies have connected late night music listening with better sleep in those with insomnia, perhaps because it can relax the body.”可知，insomnia应该与better sleep相反，指“失眠”，即“sleeplessness”。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Doing some other cognitive activities before sleeping, like making a list of jobs for the next day, might also help clear the mind，’ Scullin says.”可知，Michael Scullin建议列出第二天的工作清单，即“通过为明天制定时间表”来改善睡眠质量。
B
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了睡眠对人们主观年龄感知的影响。作者呼吁人们养成良好的睡眠习惯，以保持健康和年轻。
5. 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“a few nights of fitful sleep can make you feel years older than you really are, while sleep with a consistent pattern in the same time and space can have the opposite effect, making you feel younger”可知，while表对比，其后面说“持续的睡眠会让人感觉更年轻”，那么，其前面的句子的含义应是“断断续续的睡眠会让人变老”。由此可知画线词的意思是“断断续续的”，即不规则的。
6. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Sleep has a main effect on how old you feel … Even when you only sleep less for two nights, that has a real effect on how you feel.’”可知，Balter认为即使是只少睡了两晚，你也会明显感觉到身体的变化，即让人感觉更老。
7. 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“In the research, Balter and another sleep expert, John, first asked 429 people questions to check their past month of sleep.”和最后一句“After two nights of limited sleep, the volunteers reported feeling an average of 4.4 years older than their true age, while those with two nights of enough sleep felt an average of three months younger.”可知，Balter和John通过对比实验者睡眠充足和睡眠不足后，年龄感知的变化来进行研究，即Balter和John是通过对比来进行睡眠研究的。
8. 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Balter在最后一段想给人们提建议，即维持睡眠健康，养成良好的睡眠习惯。
Ⅳ. 1. an　2. sharing　3. regularly　4. of
5. popularity　6. spent　7. one　8. until/before　9. problems　10. energetic
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古老的健身运动八段锦越来越受人们欢迎。
1. 考查冠词。此处泛指一项运动，应用不定冠词，且ancient发音是以元音音素开头，应用an。
2. 考查非谓语动词。此处是with的复合结构，宾语influencers和动词share是主动关系，应用现在分词做宾语补足语。
3. 考查副词。此处应用副词regularly做状语，修饰动词practicing。
4. 考查介词。consist of是固定搭配，意为“由……组成”。
5. 考查名词。此处应用不可数名词popularity做主语。
6. 考查动词时态。此处在since引导的从句中做谓语，从句描述过去发生的事，应用一般过去时。
7. 考查代词。此处表示“……之一”，应用代词one，构成“one of＋名词复数”结构。
8. 考查连词。此处引导时间状语从句，表示“直到……”应用连词until，或表示“在……之前”应用连词before。
9. 考查名词复数。problem是可数名词，前面无冠词，此处应用复数形式表示泛指。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因为体重问题受到社会及他人影响，从而对自己外形不自信，直到后来生病才意识到这些不是自己人生的根源问题，开始逐渐接受自己，顺其自然，找到自信。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight”以及第二段中make jokes on … completely lost confidence可知，作者深受周围人的影响。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined.”可知，从主流的体型观点来看，超重不受提倡。
3. 词义猜测题。根据画线短语上文“There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am”可知，作者学着不要关注别人的观点与想法，意识到只要爱自己，喜欢自己现在的样子，那么别人的观点就没有什么值得关注的。故画线部分“water off a duck's back”意思是“没有什么值得关注的”。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I am now much lighter than … As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.”可知，作者在成长历程中，不再关注别人对自己体重的看法，学会了接纳自己，接受真实的自己。B项“让自己体重就保持原样”符合文章大意。
B
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现代青少年面临的外貌焦虑问题并提供了应对的建议。
5. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“mirrors often show physical images as well as the mental struggles of self awareness”和“The glass surfaces … have seen the silent battles that many young individuals face.”可知，提到镜子是为了引入话题，使读者关注青少年对外貌焦虑的问题。
6. 段落大意题。第二段首句为该段主题句，第二、三句分别从社交媒体和同龄人压力的角度切入这两者对外貌焦虑的影响。由此可知，本段主要讨论青少年外貌焦虑的两个原因。
7. 细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句可知，青少年外貌焦虑可能导致心理问题，例如焦虑、抑郁和自信心不足。
8. 推理判断题。在最后一段，作者给出如何应对青少年外貌焦虑的建议，包括鼓励青少年接受自己的独特之处、培养青少年的积极的审美观、让年轻人明白走向自我接受的旅程与获得大量知识和发展其他技能同样重要等。
Ⅲ. 1—5 DEFGA
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了适量进食的方法。
1. 根据上文“Are you trying to manage your weight or a health condition, but find yourself wolfing down a large box of ice cream or a big bag of chips？”可知，第一段用问题来引出下文如何健康饮食，吃适量食物的方法，D项“在你意识到之前，你吃的比你真正需要的多吗”与上文形式一致，也是以问题的形式引出下文如何吃适量食物的方法。
2. 根据上文“Studies have found that we can put away as much as 25 per cent more calories if we focus on a phone, tablet or television at the same time.”可知，本段主要介绍的是在看电子设备时吃东西会导致我们吃得更多，E项“更糟糕的是，有证据表明你在这天的晚些时候吃得更多”能够承接上文，递进表述该行为带来的更糟糕的情况，且能引起下文介绍这种情况发生的原因。
3. 根据上文“So, put down the devices and eat at a table—preferably with a partner, friend or the whole family.”可知，这里介绍的是解决“看电子设备导致摄入更多”这个问题的方法，F项“如果你独自用餐，只需更加注意你的食物”承接上文，介绍了用餐的另一种情况。
4. 根据上文“It takes around 20 minutes for your brain to realize that your stomach is full.”可知，这里介绍的是大脑需要一定时间才能让你意识到你吃饱了，G项“所以，如果你慢慢吃，不时停下来，你会吃得更少”与上文构成因果关系，正是因为大脑需要一定时间才能让你意识到你吃饱了，所以如果你慢慢吃，不时停下来，你往往会吃得更少。
5. 根据下文“It's very easy to use food—cooking or consuming it—to avoid stress and a busy life.”可知，这里介绍的是之所以你吃得太多，并不是因为你饿了，而是因为你用食物来减压，A项“它可能与食物无关”能够概括主旨。
Ⅳ. One possible version：
Dear_Tony，
How is everything going on I'm sorry to hear that you have trouble in your health. Here are some suggestions for you to keep healthy.
Firstly, you should eat more fruit and vegetables instead of junk food. Secondly, it's necessary for you to do more exercise. It helps you stay active and strong. Thirdly, never stay up late. If you can't get enough sleep, the whole body will work slowly. As the saying goes, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Lastly, learning to reduce pressure is also important for your health.
Looking forward to your early reply. Best wishes!
Yours，
Li_Hua
