When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don't want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food—something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I'm careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I'm too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I'm not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren't necessarily healthy.”
Instead, she recommends applying a well known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume—even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.”
I've been trying out these strategies and I've found that when I'm less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don't eat it, they're seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”
24.What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph
A.She is upset by her kids' weight.
B.She is critical of the way she was fed.
C.She is interested in making food.
D.She is particular about what she eats.
25.Which of the following would Markey disapprove of
A.Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally.
B.Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.
C.Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks.
D.Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.
26.What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”?
A.Make diet decisions on their own.
B.Share their food with other kids.
C.Eat up what is provided for them.
D.Help their parents do the dishes.
27.What does the author think of the strategies she has been following
A.Costly. B.Complex.
C.Workable. D.Contradictory.
C
There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride in their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes in the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage through our traditional food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.
28.What's the function of food mentioned in the article
A.To show national identity.
B.To help motivate homesickness.
C.To reflect a country's history.
D.To show a community's superiority.
29.What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.The national culture.
B.The specific traditional food.
C.A traditional expression of food.
D.The old fashioned taste.
30.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant
A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C.To present their own food culture in a new way.
D.To make the dishes popular among customers.
31.What's the author's attitude towards different food cultures
A.Negative. B.Unfair.
C.Positive. D.Opposed.
D
Being a vegetarian (素食者) in a meat-eating culture isn't always easy. I always get asked, “Why Since when How come?” and “How can you stand not eating meat?”
For me, being a vegetarian isn't strange; it's just who and what I am. I'm sick and tired of people judging (评价) me based on a personal choice that has nothing to do with them. Honestly, I could understand if my decision had an influence on their lives, but the thing is it doesn't, so they should just get over it.
If anything, more people should be vegetarians. It's a fact that there are some health benefits connected with being a vegetarian. Some of these benefits include a lower risk of cancer, heart attacks, and high blood pressure. Being a vegetarian can help people live a longer life because they are eating healthily and not taking in the fat that can be found in non vegetarian diets. While all diets need to be balanced, it is possible to get protein, minerals and nutrients from vegetable sources, though in lesser quantities (数量). Vegetables, milk and eggs have all the requirements your body needs to survive.
If you are creative, a vegetarian diet is far from boring. As vegetables come in a variety of types and tastes, they can be prepared and eaten in countless ways. There are so many vegetarian cookbooks, which shows this is a fact. You can also grow your own vegetables, which is very satisfying.
I find it funny when people say that vegetarians do not get enough energy (能量) from their diet. My answer is to mention Dave Scott, the first person to win the IRONMAN World Championship—six times! Yes, surprise, surprise, at the time he was a vegetarian.
Vegetarianism is better for the planet because the ecological footprint (生态足迹) of vegetarians is smaller. So next time you want to judge someone's personal choice to go veggie, remember that they have their reasons, not the least of which are concerns for animals and the state of the planet.
32.How does the author feel about others' opinions on his diet
A.He is angry with them.
B.He is careful about them.
C.He is doubtful about them.
D.He is uninterested in them.
33.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about a vegetarian diet
A.Its types. B.Its sources.
C.Its popularity. D.Its advantages.
34.Why does the author mention Dave Scott in Paragraph 5
A.To show what a vegetarian diet is.
B.To suggest a vegetarian diet is healthy.
C.To present a study on vegetarian diets.
D.To explore why some athletes are vegetarians.
35.What is the best title for the text
A.My road to being a vegetarian
B.Never regret your own choice
C.Being a vegetarian is my choice
D.Misunderstandings about vegetarian diets

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What is moderation (适度) Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. __36__ But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.
Take your time. It's important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. __37__ It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, especially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at hand. It's more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. __38__
Control emotional (情绪的) eating. _39__ Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings.
__40__ A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢), while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day. Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14-16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you're most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day may help to regulate weight.
A.Eat properly throughout the day.
B.We don't always eat just to satisfy hunger.
C.Don't swallow a meal on the way to work.
D.Most of us need to double the amount we eat.
E.Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices.
F.For many of us, moderation means eating less than we do now.
G.That won't lead to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It is a challenging journey to change their lives for the better and get the healthiest they knew how to. Lexi and Danny lived their lives like most other young couples who fell in love with each other and then made the decision to spend the rest of their lives together. The couple spent a lot of time watching TV and going to different restaurants, and as you would imagine, the endless junk foods were their “go to” choice. Though they would manage to lose some weight during the time, but before long, they would gain it back.
Lexi weighed 485 pounds at the age of 25, a weight that was quite unbelievable to imagine. Danny, on the other hand, was also overweight himself even though he was 200 pounds less than Lexi. However, the sad part of everything was that they were both gaining more weight on what they already had with each passing day. Some of their daily activities, no matter how simple, became a real problem for the couple. They couldn't go for walks or bicycle rides no matter how easy they were. However, in 2016 just after a year after the marriage, they decided to make a positive change in their life.
The couple decided to take on a challenge that would change their lives forever and for good! So many people make promises to themselves and others that they don't really carry out but the couple were not about to do like the others. Theirs were destined (注定的) to come to reality. They made a detailed plan to go on a diet and take exercise on a daily basis. At first, they thought the whole process would be a piece of cake. As they pressed on, each passing day showed them that this challenge would not be a walk in the park. They got a gym membership to help out.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The weight losing lessons offered at the gym were not easy, a real challenge for them. Just after a month, they both felt so much better, and they were pleased with the way they looked.

M:Have you noticed that nobody seems to have any manners anymore? W:Yeah, I know what you mean. With all those screaming kids playing and running around outside, it's impossible for us these days to have a light sleep in the afternoon as we used to. In the past, it was the parents who kept their kids in of an afternoon, so we could have a little peace. M:Yeah. It's the same at weekends. W:And it gets worse when they grow up—they get a place of their own and have parties that go on until three in the morning. M:What's even more annoying is that they whistle as they drive away, even though they've said “goodbye” several times at the top of their voice. W:I'm surprised anybody bothers having parties these days—they're so hard to organize. Nobody ever gives you a straight answer when you invite them to something, so you never know who's coming. M:And if they do bother to turn up, they usually have someone else who hasn't been invited to attend the party. I mean how rude you can get! W:And they're probably two hours late.

The communication industry has made much progress in recent years, like the development of 5G smartphones, and AI technology also helps. M:And how do these people manage to work W:Well, they have a television set, a computer, a printer and a telephone to connect with other computers. M:Oh, I see. But surely there're some advantages in working at home. W:Yes. People don't have to spend a lot of time getting to and from their workplaces. The rush hours are the worst time of day. They may make more money if they apply for more different jobs. M:Ah, yes, I see. What do you think about the conditions of homeworkers W:Let me tell you what might happen. A British company, for example, in London, might employ clerks in Belfast, or a Paris company could have their managers in Spain. They just use a telephone to call around for the employee.

W:We're talking with Yang Wei, who just returned home to China after living in San Francisco for one year. What would you say is the biggest difference between your life in America and your life in China M:I guess the most obvious one would be the food culture. In Beijing, people eat out a lot, and people tend to be much more loud and outgoing in restaurants. For example, in China, it is common to see people drinking and talking loudly in the middle of a restaurant. In America, however, people like to enjoy a quiet meal. If you are too loud, the waiter might come over to your table and remind you to keep it down, and they would certainly not serve you drink if you appeared drunk. W:What about the variety of food M:This is where America might have the advantage. Although Chinese food is unbelievably varied, I would have to say that the quality of food from all over the world is better in the States. While there are many Africans, Europeans, and North Americans in China, there are even fewer people from the Middle East, South America, and the Caribbean. As a result, it is harder to find really good food from those areas. But America has always been a country of immigrants (移民), so this is one area in which it just might be No.1 in the world.

Professor Clinton has just talked a lot about studying languages online, now I'd like to discuss about something different. More and more bosses are expecting their workers to be good at two or even more languages. So, these workers are taking online language courses. Learning languages online can be a very interesting experience. But it also has some disadvantages. First, it can be very expensive. There are free courses, but they usually don't work as well as the courses taken at a college or a school. You will have to pay some money for a good online course. Second, it may take a long time to learn languages online. It can take several months or even years of practice. You will have to take time out of your busy schedule to attend the online classes. Now I take learning a new language, English, for example. English has a complex system of grammar rules. That makes it hard to learn if you've been out of school for a while. So before taking a language course online, you should ask yourself whether the time you will invest would be put to better use than learning something else.
18.Why do some workers take online language courses
A.To pass their free time.
B.To enrich their life.
C.To meet the bosses' expectation.
答案:C
19.What does the speaker say about learning languages online
A.Cheap. B.Time consuming.
C.Boring.
答案:B
20.What is the speaker mainly talking about
A.The pleasure of learning languages online.
B.The disadvantages of learning languages online.
C.The differences between learning languages online and offline.
答案:B

When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don't want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food—something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I'm careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I'm too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I'm not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren't necessarily healthy.”
Instead, she recommends applying a well known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume—even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.”
I've been trying out these strategies and I've found that when I'm less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don't eat it, they're seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。作者通过介绍自身经历探讨了父母与孩子在饮食方面的沟通方式及其对孩子自我认知的影响,同时引入“责任分工”的理念,帮助家长更好地引导孩子建立健康的饮食观念和自我形象。
24.What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph
A.She is upset by her kids' weight.
B.She is critical of the way she was fed.
C.She is interested in making food.
D.She is particular about what she eats.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段内容可推知,作者对自己小时候这种被严格限制饮食的喂养方式是不认同的,即持批评态度。故选B。
25.Which of the following would Markey disapprove of
A.Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally.
B.Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.
C.Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks.
D.Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,Markey (马基)教授认为,食物是少数几个父母说得越少越好的话题,因为这个话题会给孩子带来不必要的担忧和不安全感。由此可知,Markey不赞成向孩子解释吃零食的风险这个做法。故选C。
26.What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”?
A.Make diet decisions on their own.
B.Share their food with other kids.
C.Eat up what is provided for them.
D.Help their parents do the dishes.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,Markey推荐的“责任分工”理念明确指出,父母可以在固定时间给孩子提供多种大多为健康的食物,而孩子们自己决定吃什么以及吃多少,即孩子们自己做出饮食决定。故选A。
27.What does the author think of the strategies she has been following
A.Costly. B.Complex.
C.Workable. D.Contradictory.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I've been trying out these strategies ... they do make better decisions.”可知,作者尝试了这些策略,发现当自己不太限制时,孩子们确实会做出更好的决定。由此可推知,作者认为这些策略是可行的。故选C。
C
There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride in their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes in the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage through our traditional food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了传统食物与文化之间的联系。

A.To show national identity.
B.To help motivate homesickness.
C.To reflect a country's history.
D.To show a community's superiority.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It also operates as an expression of culture identity.”可知,传统食物也是文化认同的一种表达方式,即传统食物展示了民族认同感。故选A。
29.What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.The national culture.
B.The specific traditional food.
C.A traditional expression of food.
D.The old fashioned taste.
答案:B
解析:指代判断题。根据第二段中的“On a large scale ... of culture identity.”和“it is a symbol ... with homesickness”可知,移民们无论走到哪里,都会带着它,它是他们文化自豪感的象征,是缓解乡愁的方式,由此可推知,it指代上文提到的“traditional food”。故选B。
30.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant
A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C.To present their own food culture in a new way.
D.To make the dishes popular among customers.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Therefore, they have to ... range of customers.(因此,他们不得不在原来的菜肴上做些小的改变,以迎合更广泛的顾客。)”可知,移民们对菜品进行调整是为了使这些菜肴更受顾客的欢迎。故选D。
31.What's the author's attitude towards different food cultures
A.Negative. B.Unfair.
C.Positive. D.Opposed.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者认为不同的食物代表不同的文化,我们既要通过我们的传统食物来坚持自己的文化自信,也要尝试不同的食物以了解其他文化。由此可推知,作者对不同的食物文化持积极肯定的态度。故选C。
D
Being a vegetarian (素食者) in a meat-eating culture isn't always easy. I always get asked, “Why Since when How come?” and “How can you stand not eating meat?”
For me, being a vegetarian isn't strange; it's just who and what I am. I'm sick and tired of people judging (评价) me based on a personal choice that has nothing to do with them. Honestly, I could understand if my decision had an influence on their lives, but the thing is it doesn't, so they should just get over it.
If anything, more people should be vegetarians. It's a fact that there are some health benefits connected with being a vegetarian. Some of these benefits include a lower risk of cancer, heart attacks, and high blood pressure. Being a vegetarian can help people live a longer life because they are eating healthily and not taking in the fat that can be found in non vegetarian diets. While all diets need to be balanced, it is possible to get protein, minerals and nutrients from vegetable sources, though in lesser quantities (数量). Vegetables, milk and eggs have all the requirements your body needs to survive.
If you are creative, a vegetarian diet is far from boring. As vegetables come in a variety of types and tastes, they can be prepared and eaten in countless ways. There are so many vegetarian cookbooks, which shows this is a fact. You can also grow your own vegetables, which is very satisfying.
I find it funny when people say that vegetarians do not get enough energy (能量) from their diet. My answer is to mention Dave Scott, the first person to win the IRONMAN World Championship—six times! Yes, surprise, surprise, at the time he was a vegetarian.
Vegetarianism is better for the planet because the ecological footprint (生态足迹) of vegetarians is smaller. So next time you want to judge someone's personal choice to go veggie, remember that they have their reasons, not the least of which are concerns for animals and the state of the planet.

33.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about a vegetarian diet
A.Its types. B.Its sources.
C.Its popularity. D.Its advantages.
答案:D
解析:段落大意题。第三段描述了素食饮食对健康的益处,如较低的患癌症、心脏病和高血压风险,并提到可以活得更久,以及从素食中也能获取足够的蛋白质、矿物质和营养。因此,本段主要讲述了素食饮食的优点。故选D。
34.Why does the author mention Dave Scott in Paragraph 5
A.To show what a vegetarian diet is.
B.To suggest a vegetarian diet is healthy.
C.To present a study on vegetarian diets.
D.To explore why some athletes are vegetarians.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。第五段开头提到人们认为素食者从他们的饮食中得不到足够的能量,随后提到Dave Scott (戴夫·斯科特)——六次赢得铁人三项世界锦标赛的选手,且他当时是素食者。由此可推知,作者提及Dave Scott是为了举例说明素食者可以在体能和健康方面也表现优异,从而支持素食健康这一观点。故选B。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What is moderation (适度) Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. __36__ But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.
Take your time. It's important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. __37__ It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, especially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at hand. It's more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. __38__
Control emotional (情绪的) eating. _39__ Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings.
__40__ A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢), while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day. Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14-16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you're most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day may help to regulate weight.
A.Eat properly throughout the day.
B.We don't always eat just to satisfy hunger.
C.Don't swallow a meal on the way to work.
D.Most of us need to double the amount we eat.
E.Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices.

36.答案:F

39.答案:B
解析:设空后讲到了“Many of us also turn to ... such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom.(我们中有许多人还借助食物应对不愉快的情绪,比如悲伤、孤独或无聊。)”,根据“also”可知,设空处也应与人们吃东西的目的有关。B项(我们并不总是为了充饥而吃东西。)符合语境。故选B。

[精彩范文]
Dear Tim,
I am pleased to receive your request for assistance with your research on Chinese cuisine. Chinese cuisine is renowned for its incredible diversity, with a wide range of flavors and cooking styles that vary from region to region. Each region has its own unique dishes and culinary traditions, making it a fascinating subject to explore.
When it comes to my personal favorite Chinese cuisine, I must say that Cantonese cuisine, also known as Yue cuisine, holds a special place in my heart. It is recognized for its delicate flavors and a strong emphasis on using fresh, high quality ingredients. In Cantonese cuisine, the cooking techniques often involve steaming or stir frying, allowing the natural taste of the ingredients to shine through.
I hope this information proves valuable for your research report. If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to ask me. Good luck with your project!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It is a challenging journey to change their lives for the better and get the healthiest they knew how to. Lexi and Danny lived their lives like most other young couples who fell in love with each other and then made the decision to spend the rest of their lives together. The couple spent a lot of time watching TV and going to different restaurants, and as you would imagine, the endless junk foods were their “go to” choice. Though they would manage to lose some weight during the time, but before long, they would gain it back.
Lexi weighed 485 pounds at the age of 25, a weight that was quite unbelievable to imagine. Danny, on the other hand, was also overweight himself even though he was 200 pounds less than Lexi. However, the sad part of everything was that they were both gaining more weight on what they already had with each passing day. Some of their daily activities, no matter how simple, became a real problem for the couple. They couldn't go for walks or bicycle rides no matter how easy they were. However, in 2016 just after a year after the marriage, they decided to make a positive change in their life.
The couple decided to take on a challenge that would change their lives forever and for good! So many people make promises to themselves and others that they don't really carry out but the couple were not about to do like the others. Theirs were destined (注定的) to come to reality. They made a detailed plan to go on a diet and take exercise on a daily basis. At first, they thought the whole process would be a piece of cake. As they pressed on, each passing day showed them that this challenge would not be a walk in the park. They got a gym membership to help out.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The weight losing lessons offered at the gym were not easy, a real challenge for them. Just after a month, they both felt so much better, and they were pleased with the way they looked.
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。Lexi (莱克茜)和Danny (丹尼)是一对年轻的夫妇,由于他们不健康的生活和饮食习惯,他们变得超重。他们决定在生活中做出积极的改变并决定去健身房。他们在健身房遇到了什么挑战?他们减肥的结果及感受又是怎样的呢?
[精彩范文]
The weight losing lessons offered at the gym were not easy, a real challenge for them. At first, no matter what efforts they made, they couldn't keep up with the pace of the other people in the class because of their huge weight. Especially for Lexi, she was unable to get through the lessons. However, the encouragement and support from their friends and family led them to keep up. They worked as a team, supporting each other, so neither of them would fail. They kept up on the journey to lose weight.
Just after a month, they both felt so much better, and they were pleased with the way they looked. Of course, this new feeling gave them a lot of confidence to keep pushing to achieve the final goal they were working for. Before long, their efforts began to pay off. Lexi was dropping about 20 pounds and Danny 11 pounds per month. Now the couple both have a good shape and enjoy a happy life. To keep up the gain, they are still taking exercise every day, however busy they are. Importantly, they keep off junk foods.

M:Have you noticed that nobody seems to have any manners anymore?
W:Yeah, I know what you mean. With all those screaming kids playing and running around outside, it's impossible for us these days to have a light sleep in the afternoon as we used to. In the past, it was the parents who kept their kids in of an afternoon, so we could have a little peace.
M:Yeah. It's the same at weekends.
W:And it gets worse when they grow up—they get a place of their own and have parties that go on until three in the morning.
M:What's even more annoying is that they whistle as they drive away, even though they've said “goodbye” several times at the top of their voice.
W:I'm surprised anybody bothers having parties these days—they're so hard to organize. Nobody ever gives you a straight answer when you invite them to something, so you never know who's coming.
M:And if they do bother to turn up, they usually have someone else who hasn't been invited to attend the party. I mean how rude you can get!
W:And they're probably two hours late.
8.What is the speakers' attitude towards the change of manners
A.Positive. B.Unconcerned.
C.Dissatisfied.

M:Miss Green, do you think, within a few years, many people could work at home instead of working outside
W:It's happening now. The communication industry has made much progress in recent years, like the development of 5G smartphones, and AI technology also helps.
M:And how do these people manage to work
W:Well, they have a television set, a computer, a printer and a telephone to connect with other computers.
M:Oh, I see. But surely there're some advantages in working at home.
W:Yes. People don't have to spend a lot of time getting to and from their workplaces. The rush hours are the worst time of day. They may make more money if they apply for more different jobs.
M:Ah, yes, I see. What do you think about the conditions of homeworkers
W:Let me tell you what might happen. A British company, for example, in London, might employ clerks in Belfast, or a Paris company could have their managers in Spain. They just use a telephone to call around for the employee.
11.What has made working at home possible
A.Living far from workplaces.
B.Communication industry.
C.More job opportunities.
12.What is the advantage of working at home according to the woman

W:We're talking with Yang Wei, who just returned home to China after living in San Francisco for one year. What would you say is the biggest difference between your life in America and your life in China
M:I guess the most obvious one would be the food culture. In Beijing, people eat out a lot, and people tend to be much more loud and outgoing in restaurants. For example, in China, it is common to see people drinking and talking loudly in the middle of a restaurant. In America, however, people like to enjoy a quiet meal. If you are too loud, the waiter might come over to your table and remind you to keep it down, and they would certainly not serve you drink if you appeared drunk.
W:What about the variety of food
M:This is where America might have the advantage. Although Chinese food is unbelievably varied, I would have to say that the quality of food from all over the world is better in the States. While there are many Africans, Europeans, and North Americans in China, there are even fewer people from the Middle East, South America, and the Caribbean. As a result, it is harder to find really good food from those areas. But America has always been a country of immigrants (移民), so this is one area in which it just might be No.1 in the world.
W:Interestingly. Why don't we take some questions from the audience?
14.How long did the man live in San Francisco
A.Ten years. B.Five years.
C.One year.
15.How do Americans behave in restaurants
A.They are very outgoing.
B.They are usually quiet.
C.They often drink much.
16.Where can one enjoy international food better
A.In America. B.In China.
C.In Middle East.
17.Who might the woman be
A.A guide. B.A hostess.
C.A traveler.

Professor Clinton has just talked a lot about studying languages online, now I'd like to discuss about something different. More and more bosses are expecting their workers to be good at two or even more languages. So, these workers are taking online language courses. Learning languages online can be a very interesting experience. But it also has some disadvantages. First, it can be very expensive. There are free courses, but they usually don't work as well as the courses taken at a college or a school. You will have to pay some money for a good online course. Second, it may take a long time to learn languages online. It can take several months or even years of practice. You will have to take time out of your busy schedule to attend the online classes. Now I take learning a new language, English, for example. English has a complex system of grammar rules. That makes it hard to learn if you've been out of school for a while. So before taking a language course online, you should ask yourself whether the time you will invest would be put to better use than learning something else.
18.Why do some workers take online language courses
A.To pass their free time.
B.To enrich their life.
C.To meet the bosses' expectation.
19.What does the speaker say about learning languages online
A.Cheap. B.Time consuming.
C.Boring.
20.What is the speaker mainly talking about
A.The pleasure of learning languages online.
B.The disadvantages of learning languages online.
C.The differences between learning languages online and offline.

When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don't want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food—something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I'm careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I'm too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I'm not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren't necessarily healthy.”
Instead, she recommends applying a well known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume—even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.”
I've been trying out these strategies and I've found that when I'm less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don't eat it, they're seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。作者通过介绍自身经历探讨了父母与孩子在饮食方面的沟通方式及其对孩子自我认知的影响,同时引入“责任分工”的理念,帮助家长更好地引导孩子建立健康的饮食观念和自我形象。
24.What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph
A.She is upset by her kids' weight.
B.She is critical of the way she was fed.
C.She is interested in making food.
D.She is particular about what she eats.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段内容可推知,作者对自己小时候这种被严格限制饮食的喂养方式是不认同的,即持批评态度。故选B。
25.Which of the following would Markey disapprove of
A.Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally.
B.Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.
C.Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks.
D.Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,Markey (马基)教授认为,食物是少数几个父母说得越少越好的话题,因为这个话题会给孩子带来不必要的担忧和不安全感。由此可知,Markey不赞成向孩子解释吃零食的风险这个做法。故选C。
26.What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”?
A.Make diet decisions on their own.
B.Share their food with other kids.
C.Eat up what is provided for them.
D.Help their parents do the dishes.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,Markey推荐的“责任分工”理念明确指出,父母可以在固定时间给孩子提供多种大多为健康的食物,而孩子们自己决定吃什么以及吃多少,即孩子们自己做出饮食决定。故选A。
27.What does the author think of the strategies she has been following
A.Costly. B.Complex.
C.Workable. D.Contradictory.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I've been trying out these strategies ... they do make better decisions.”可知,作者尝试了这些策略,发现当自己不太限制时,孩子们确实会做出更好的决定。由此可推知,作者认为这些策略是可行的。故选C。
C
There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride in their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes in the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage through our traditional food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了传统食物与文化之间的联系。
28.What's the function of food mentioned in the article
A.To show national identity.
B.To help motivate homesickness.
C.To reflect a country's history.
D.To show a community's superiority.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It also operates as an expression of culture identity.”可知,传统食物也是文化认同的一种表达方式,即传统食物展示了民族认同感。故选A。
29.What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.The national culture.
B.The specific traditional food.
C.A traditional expression of food.
D.The old fashioned taste.
解析:指代判断题。根据第二段中的“On a large scale ... of culture identity.”和“it is a symbol ... with homesickness”可知,移民们无论走到哪里,都会带着它,它是他们文化自豪感的象征,是缓解乡愁的方式,由此可推知,it指代上文提到的“traditional food”。故选B。
30.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant
A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C.To present their own food culture in a new way.
D.To make the dishes popular among customers.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Therefore, they have to ... range of customers.(因此,他们不得不在原来的菜肴上做些小的改变,以迎合更广泛的顾客。)”可知,移民们对菜品进行调整是为了使这些菜肴更受顾客的欢迎。故选D。
31.What's the author's attitude towards different food cultures
A.Negative. B.Unfair.
C.Positive. D.Opposed.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者认为不同的食物代表不同的文化,我们既要通过我们的传统食物来坚持自己的文化自信,也要尝试不同的食物以了解其他文化。由此可推知,作者对不同的食物文化持积极肯定的态度。故选C。
D
Being a vegetarian (素食者) in a meat-eating culture isn't always easy. I always get asked, “Why Since when How come?” and “How can you stand not eating meat?”
For me, being a vegetarian isn't strange; it's just who and what I am. I'm sick and tired of people judging (评价) me based on a personal choice that has nothing to do with them. Honestly, I could understand if my decision had an influence on their lives, but the thing is it doesn't, so they should just get over it.
If anything, more people should be vegetarians. It's a fact that there are some health benefits connected with being a vegetarian. Some of these benefits include a lower risk of cancer, heart attacks, and high blood pressure. Being a vegetarian can help people live a longer life because they are eating healthily and not taking in the fat that can be found in non vegetarian diets. While all diets need to be balanced, it is possible to get protein, minerals and nutrients from vegetable sources, though in lesser quantities (数量). Vegetables, milk and eggs have all the requirements your body needs to survive.
If you are creative, a vegetarian diet is far from boring. As vegetables come in a variety of types and tastes, they can be prepared and eaten in countless ways. There are so many vegetarian cookbooks, which shows this is a fact. You can also grow your own vegetables, which is very satisfying.
I find it funny when people say that vegetarians do not get enough energy (能量) from their diet. My answer is to mention Dave Scott, the first person to win the IRONMAN World Championship—six times! Yes, surprise, surprise, at the time he was a vegetarian.
Vegetarianism is better for the planet because the ecological footprint (生态足迹) of vegetarians is smaller. So next time you want to judge someone's personal choice to go veggie, remember that they have their reasons, not the least of which are concerns for animals and the state of the planet.
篇章导读:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者坚持素食主义的原因及素食主义的好处。
32.How does the author feel about others' opinions on his diet
A.He is angry with them.
B.He is careful about them.
C.He is doubtful about them.
D.He is uninterested in them.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I'm sick and tired ... do with them.”可知,作者厌烦他人对自己饮食选择的评判。由此可推知,他对别人的看法感到不满和生气。故选A。
33.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about a vegetarian diet
A.Its types. B.Its sources.
C.Its popularity. D.Its advantages.
解析:段落大意题。第三段描述了素食饮食对健康的益处,如较低的患癌症、心脏病和高血压风险,并提到可以活得更久,以及从素食中也能获取足够的蛋白质、矿物质和营养。因此,本段主要讲述了素食饮食的优点。故选D。
34.Why does the author mention Dave Scott in Paragraph 5
A.To show what a vegetarian diet is.
B.To suggest a vegetarian diet is healthy.
C.To present a study on vegetarian diets.
D.To explore why some athletes are vegetarians.
解析:推理判断题。第五段开头提到人们认为素食者从他们的饮食中得不到足够的能量,随后提到Dave Scott (戴夫·斯科特)——六次赢得铁人三项世界锦标赛的选手,且他当时是素食者。由此可推知,作者提及Dave Scott是为了举例说明素食者可以在体能和健康方面也表现优异,从而支持素食健康这一观点。故选B。
35.What is the best title for the text
A.My road to being a vegetarian
B.Never regret your own choice
C.Being a vegetarian is my choice
D.Misunderstandings about vegetarian diets
解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了作者作为素食者的个人体验,面对他人质疑的态度,以及为什么选择素食。由此可知,C项(吃素是我的选择)最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What is moderation (适度) Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. __36__ But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.
Take your time. It's important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. __37__ It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, especially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at hand. It's more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. __38__
Control emotional (情绪的) eating. _39__ Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings.
__40__ A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢), while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day. Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14-16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you're most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day may help to regulate weight.
A.Eat properly throughout the day.
B.We don't always eat just to satisfy hunger.
C.Don't swallow a meal on the way to work.
D.Most of us need to double the amount we eat.
E.Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices.
F.For many of us, moderation means eating less than we do now.
G.That won't lead to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在饮食上注意节制及其如何节制的方法。
36.答案:F
解析:文章开头提出问题“什么是适度?”,设空前对这个问题作出了解释,设空后又讲到适度不是要放弃自己喜欢的食物,因此设空处应承接上文,就适度进行进一步解释,且与设空后内容形成转折。F项(对我们很多人来说,适度意味着吃得比平时少。)承上启下。F项中的“means”与上文的“means”和下文的“mean”相呼应。故选F。
37.答案:C
解析:根据上文“Take your time ... in between meetings.”可知,本段主要建议吃东西要细嚼慢咽,C项(不要在上班的路上狼吞虎咽。)承接上文,符合语境。故选C。
38.答案:E
解析:根据上文“And be careful about ... like cookies.(注意你手边的食物。如果你有不健康的零食随时可食用,比如饼干,那么适度饮食就更具挑战性了。)”可知,E项(相反,让自己置身于健康的选择中。)与上文形成对比,符合语境。故选E。
39.答案:B

Dear Tim,
I am pleased to receive your request for assistance with your research on Chinese cuisine. Chinese cuisine is renowned for its incredible diversity, with a wide range of flavors and cooking styles that vary from region to region. Each region has its own unique dishes and culinary traditions, making it a fascinating subject to explore.
When it comes to my personal favorite Chinese cuisine, I must say that Cantonese cuisine, also known as Yue cuisine, holds a special place in my heart. It is recognized for its delicate flavors and a strong emphasis on using fresh, high quality ingredients. In Cantonese cuisine, the cooking techniques often involve steaming or stir frying, allowing the natural taste of the ingredients to shine through.
I hope this information proves valuable for your research report. If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to ask me. Good luck with your project!

第二节
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It is a challenging journey to change their lives for the better and get the healthiest they knew how to. Lexi and Danny lived their lives like most other young couples who fell in love with each other and then made the decision to spend the rest of their lives together. The couple spent a lot of time watching TV and going to different restaurants, and as you would imagine, the endless junk foods were their “go to” choice. Though they would manage to lose some weight during the time, but before long, they would gain it back.
Lexi weighed 485 pounds at the age of 25, a weight that was quite unbelievable to imagine. Danny, on the other hand, was also overweight himself even though he was 200 pounds less than Lexi. However, the sad part of everything was that they were both gaining more weight on what they already had with each passing day. Some of their daily activities, no matter how simple, became a real problem for the couple. They couldn't go for walks or bicycle rides no matter how easy they were. However, in 2016 just after a year after the marriage, they decided to make a positive change in their life.
The couple decided to take on a challenge that would change their lives forever and for good! So many people make promises to themselves and others that they don't really carry out but the couple were not about to do like the others. Theirs were destined (注定的) to come to reality. They made a detailed plan to go on a diet and take exercise on a daily basis. At first, they thought the whole process would be a piece of cake. As they pressed on, each passing day showed them that this challenge would not be a walk in the park. They got a gym membership to help out.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The weight losing lessons offered at the gym were not easy, a real challenge for them. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
Just after a month, they both felt so much better, and they were pleased with the way they looked.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。Lexi (莱克茜)和Danny (丹尼)是一对年轻的夫妇,由于他们不健康的生活和饮食习惯,他们变得超重。他们决定在生活中做出积极的改变并决定去健身房。他们在健身房遇到了什么挑战?他们减肥的结果及感受又是怎样的呢?
[精彩范文]
The weight losing lessons offered at the gym were not easy, a real challenge for them. At first, no matter what efforts they made, they couldn't keep up with the pace of the other people in the class because of their huge weight. Especially for Lexi, she was unable to get through the lessons. However, the encouragement and support from their friends and family led them to keep up. They worked as a team, supporting each other, so neither of them would fail. They kept up on the journey to lose weight.
Just after a month, they both felt so much better, and they were pleased with the way they looked. Of course, this new feeling gave them a lot of confidence to keep pushing to achieve the final goal they were working for. Before long, their efforts began to pay off. Lexi was dropping about 20 pounds and Danny 11 pounds per month. Now the couple both have a good shape and enjoy a happy life. To keep up the gain, they are still taking exercise every day, however busy they are. Importantly, they keep off junk foods.
