Biggest Music Festivals of All Time
Donauinselfest
City：Vienna, Austria
Founded：1984
Recorded Attendance：3，000，000
This open air festival comprises rock pop, rap, Electronic Dance Music (EDM), folk, and more. However, this is an event that serves as a platform for unknown and often local performers, so expect the line up to be filled with artists who are ready to give a surprise but aren't usually part of the mainstream scene.
Montreal International Jazz Festival
City: Montreal, Canada
Founded: 1980
Recorded Attendance: 2，000，000
The world's largest jazz festival closes the streets of Montreal for ten days in an annual tradition. In 2004, it earned a Guinness World Record for its massive attendance of 1，913，868 people for its 25th anniversary edition. In more recent years, this international celebration has only continued to expand itself, keeping a consistent attendance from noon to midnight of 200，000 attendees per day in all of its capacity.
Pol'and'Rock
City: Czaplinek, Poland
Founded: 1993
Recorded Attendance: 1，000，000
In the open air, this was a festival village with massive food stalls (货摊), and free to attend. Pol'and'Rock was founded and remains a homage to the spirit and ideals of the original Woodstock Festival that has remained active regarding its mission of giving back. This Polish festival shines a spotlight on artists who are not famous. Furthermore, Pol'and'Rock features recreational activities such as a morning yoga lesson and quite a few contests.
Rock In Rio
City: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Founded: 1985
Recorded Attendance: 700，000
Brazil has been hosting the biggest rock bands in the world since 1985 in Rio de Janeiro. Rock In Rio's first event was a big one, opening with more than one hundred thousand people. This isn't common for a first time. But given the line up that they had, there was no other possible outcome for them. The line up included Queen, Rod Stewart, and Yes, so it's safe to say that it was a legendary show that led the event toward becoming one of the most anticipated ones in the world.

I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a standup comedian in 2003. I'd never set foot in a comedy club before. I've always been a performer—I've worked as a singer, actor and musician—but all that came to an end after 9/11. I live in New York, and we watched the twin towers fall from my apartment building. For a year afterwards, nobody wanted to go out or be entertained.
It was then that I started to think about comedy. I realised people needed to laugh, to enjoy themselves again, and thought that with a little training I could do it. I took a few classes, tried to work out a routine, and finally plucked up the courage to get up on stage. That first time was terrifying. I had no idea what the audience would make of me.
In New York, comedians are typically young men with beards. It's hard enough to break through as a woman, even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother. As I stepped on stage that first time, people laughed nervously. They were clearly surprised to see me. I introduced myself, stated my age and tried my first joke. There was silence. But by the time I got to the third line, people were properly laughing, and I was addicted.
Now my sets differ. I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people, or my one woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100. Even today, I'm nervous before I step out. My first line is, “Hello, everybody. I'm 88 and three quarters years old. I'm telling you that in case I don't make it all the way through the show.” Then people laugh and I relax.
After a show, people young and old come up to me, saying what an inspiration I am. They say they want to be as active as me when they reach my age. I'm pleased I can show that as an older person you don't need to take a back seat in life.
I've no intention of stopping comedy. I'm taking all these pills, trying to stay alive, and I hope to still be performing when I'm 100. My goal is to still be up there making people laugh. It's hard work, but it stops me being bored. I'd only be playing golf otherwise.
语篇导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者高龄从事喜剧表演给人们带去欢乐并激励其他人的故事。
4．What made the writer take up comedy
A．She wanted to overcome her fears.
B．She wanted to brighten others' lives.
C．She was unwilling to quit performing.
D．She wanted to work out a routine.
解析：B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“It was then that I started to think about comedy. I realised people needed to laugh, to enjoy themselves again, and thought that with a little training I could do it. (就在那时，我开始思考喜剧。我意识到人们需要笑，需要重新享受生活，我想只要稍加训练，我就能做到。)”可知，作者从事喜剧是因为她想让人们的生活快乐起来，重新享受生活。故选B。
5．Why does the writer mention young men with beards in Paragraph 3
A．To show the challenge she was facing.
B．To explain her attraction to the job.
C．To illustrate her special advantage.
D．To describe her new friends in comedy.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据第三段的“In New York, comedians are typically young men with beards. It's hard enough to break through as a woman, even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother.(在纽约，喜剧演员通常是留胡子的年轻人。作为一个女人，想要突破已经很困难了，对于一个年纪大到已经是他们祖母的人来说，就更难了。)”可推知，作者提到留胡子的年轻人是为了表明她所面临的挑战——性别和年龄。故选A。
6．How has the writer made progress since her first performance
A．She now performs before larger audiences
B．She no longer feels nervous before performances
C．She remains on the stage for a longer time
D．She has learned to make a joke of her age
解析：D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“Even today, I'm nervous before I step out. My first line is, ‘Hello, everybody. I'm 88 and three quarters years old. I'm telling you that in case I don't make it all the way through the show.’ Then people laugh and I relax.(直到今天，我出门前还是很紧张。我的第一句话是：‘大家好。我88又四分之三岁了。我告诉你这些是为了以防我没能撑到最后。’然后人们笑了，我也放松了。)”可知，作者自第一次表演后尝试用调侃自己的年龄做开场，这样自己和听众都很放松。故选D。
7．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with
A．Age is just a number.
B．Advancing years bring greater wisdom.
C．Old age means a chance to sit back.
D．Being elderly means you have to slow down.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“They say they want to be as active as me when they reach my age. I'm pleased I can show that as an older person you don't need to take a back seat in life.(他们说，当他们到了我这个年纪时，他们想和我一样活跃。我很高兴我能证明，作为一个老年人，你不需要在生活中退居二线。)”和最后一段的“I've no intention of stopping comedy. I'm taking all these pills, trying to stay alive, and I hope to still be performing when I'm 100.(我无意停止演喜剧。我吃了这么多药，努力活下去，我希望我100岁的时候还能继续表演。)”可推知，作者认为年龄只是一个数字而已，无论到了哪个年龄阶段，我们都可以做自己喜欢且有意义的事情。故选A。

A vast majority of people usually argue that cycling can make a significant contribution to our world. In reality, there is a gap between desired and actual numbers. In Germany, for instance, only 20% of the everyday short distance trips are covered by bicycle. When enquiring about the causes, researchers found one point repeatedly tops the list: the perceived or potential risk on the bike routes used. Increasing the share of cycling trips thus depends crucially on well developed bike paths.
However, designing efficient bike path networks is a complex task that involves balancing a variety of limitations while meeting overall demand. In addition, many districts are confronted with a shortage of funds available for improving the infrastructure. Researchers propose a new approach to generating efficient bike path networks. This considers demand distribution and the route option of cyclists based on preferences for secure outings. Typically, minimizing the travel distance is far from the solely goal. Aspects such as attractiveness of a route are also taken into account.
Under real conditions, a bike path network is created by constantly adding bike paths to more streets. This time, researchers start with an ideal, complex network, in which all streets in a city are equipped with a bike path. In a virtual process, they gradually remove less used bike path sections from this network. The route selection of cyclists is continuously updated. Thus, a series of bike path networks is created and is always adapted to the current usage. Each stage of it corresponds to a variant that could be carried out with less financial support.
“We illustrate the applicability of this demand driven planning for crowded urban areas of Dresden and Hamburg，” explains researcher Christoph Steinacker. “We are approaching a real life issue here using the theoretic toolbox of network dynamics and compare efficient bike path networks under different conditions.”
语篇导读：本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究者通过研究如何建立发达的自行车道路网来提高自行车出行。
8．Why do people rarely cycle
A．They think of cycling as inefficient.
B．They usually take long distance trips.
C．They're concerned about the security.
D．They're unable to find special bike roads.
解析：C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In Germany, for instance, only 20% of the everyday short distance trips are covered by bicycle. When enquiring about the causes, researchers found one point repeatedly tops the list: the perceived or potential risk on the bike routes used.(比如说，在德国，每天的短距离行程中，只有20%是骑自行车出行。当被问及其原因时，研究者发现其中一个一直高居榜首：骑行路线的感知风险和潜在风险。)”可知，很少有人选择自行车出行是因为他们担心感知风险和潜在风险的存在，担心安全问题，故选C。
9．What is a challenge for good bike path networks
A.Tight budgets.
B．Complex routes.
C．Maximized travel distance.
D．Decreasing cycling demand.
解析：A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, designing efficient bike path networks is a complex task that involves balancing a variety of limitations while meeting overall demand. In addition, many districts are confronted with a shortage of funds available for improving the infrastructure.(然而，设计高效的自行车路线网络是一个复杂的任务，它包括平衡一系列限制的同时，还要满足全面的需求。而且，很多地区面临着提升设施的可用资金的短缺问题。)”可知，建立好的自行车道路网所遇到的挑战是资金短缺，预算紧张的问题，故选A。
10．What can be learned about the planning put forward by researchers
A．It will be updated once in a while.
B．It is contrary to the real life design.
C．It ensures every street has a bike path.
D．It serves as a model for other districts.
解析：B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This time, researchers start with an ideal, complex network, in which all streets in a city are equipped with a bike path. In a virtual process, they gradually remove less used bike path sections from this network. The route selection of cyclists is continuously updated. Thus, a series of bike path networks is created and is always adapted to the current usage.(这一次，研究者想出了一个理想的、复杂的道路网络，城市里所有街道都配备一条自行车道。在现实过程中，他们逐渐地从网络里移除了使用较少的自行车道。骑行者对道路的选择也在不断更新中。因此，就创造出了一系列的自行车道路网，它也总是在适应当前的使用状况。)”可推知，研究者提出的计划道路网是每个城市里所有街道都配备一条自行车道，但在实际过程中，却因为一些自行车道使用较少，而不得不逐渐减少它们，故研究者提出的计划与实际生活中的设计截然不同，故选B。
11．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Good Planning Gets the Bike Rolling
B．A Good Network Benefits More People
C．Cycling Paths Change Crowded Urban Areas
D．A New Concept Contributes to a Better World
解析：A 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段末句“Increasing the share of cycling trips thus depends crucially on well developed bike paths.(因此，增加自行车出行的比例至关重要地取决于发达的自行车道。)”以及后文对如何建立发达的自行车道可知，本文主要围绕通过建立发达的自行车道来鼓励人们骑行，故A项“好的计划能让自行车运转起来”符合文章标题，故选A。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2025·江苏常州联盟检测)
There really is a lot of pressure on people to change these days. We are frequently told to change our opinions, attitudes, behaviors and directions.1. Instead of always striving to change to meet others' expectations, perhaps people should focus on accepting themselves.
There is an old saying: “You can't teach an old dog new trick”， implying that change (i.e. teaching “new tricks”) is important but old dogs cannot make that change.2. Instead of believing change is essentially necessary, we should consider why change is needed and what purpose it serves.
3. For example, a situation where a person is being told they need to have a “more positive attitude” is different from a situation where a student is being told they need to stop shouting at others every day. Certainly the second one reflects a much clearer need for change than the first.
If others are telling you that you need to change, that does not mean they are wrong but also does not mean they are right.4. However, you needn't let it be the final word on what you need.
Even if you decide to change because others are telling you they are bothered by how you are, it is still important to remind yourself that you are making the choice to change. You can take their opinions but still remind yourself, “I am looking to change because I do not want people to be upset at me, not because I have to.”5.
A．The motto has meanings for humans, too.
B．Change can have a great many benefits.
C．Change takes a variety of different forms.
D．You need to let them have their opinions.
E．Animals get older and have more experiences.
F．Actually, the significance of change might be overstated.
G．That way you can remind yourself that you are seeing a reason to change.
语篇导读：本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了现代社会中普遍存在改变的压力，指出改变未必总是必要，人们应当学会接受自己的现状和感受。
解析：
1．F 空前“We are frequently told to change our opinions, attitudes, behaviors and directions. (我们经常被告知要改变我们的观点、态度、行为和方向。)”讨论了现代社会中人们被频繁告知需要改变的方方面面。空后“Instead of always striving to change to meet others' expectations, perhaps people should focus on accepting themselves. (与其总是努力改变以满足他人的期望，也许人们应该专注于接受自己。)”提出了作者认为人们应该专注于接受自己而不是改变，由此可知，空处应讲述改变可能被过分强调了。选项F“实际上，改变的重要性可能被过分强调。”承上启下。故选F。
2．A 空前“There is an old saying：‘You can't teach an old dog new trick’， implying that change (i.e. teaching ‘new tricks’) is important but old dogs cannot make that change. (有一句老话：‘你不能教老狗新把戏’，这意味着改变(即教‘新把戏’)很重要，但老狗不能做出改变。)”中作者引用了一句俗语“You can't teach an old dog new trick”并解释说老狗难以做出改变。选项A“这条格言对人类也有意义。”紧接在对俗语的解释之后，指出了这句话对人类的启示作用。故选A。
3．C 根据下文“For example, a situation where a person is being told they need to have a ‘more positive attitude’ is different from a situation where a student is being told they need to stop shouting at others every day. Certainly the second one reflects a much clearer need for change than the first. (例如，一个人被告知他们需要有一个‘更积极的态度’的情况与一个学生被告知他们需要停止每天对别人大喊大叫的情况不同。当然，第二个情况比第一个情况反映了更明确的变革需求。)”可知，下文列举了改变的不同形式，由此可知，空处应讲述不同情境下的改变有不同表现，选项C“改变有各种不同的形式。”符合题意。故选C。
4．D 前文“If others are telling you that you need to change, that does not mean they are wrong but also does not mean they are right. (如果别人告诉你你需要改变，这并不意味着他们错了，也不意味着他们是对的。)”讨论了当别人告诉你需要改变时，这并不意味着他们一定是对的，也不意味着他们一定是错的，选项D“你需要允许他们有他们的观点”呼应了前文的论述，强调了虽然要尊重他人的观点，并与下文“However, you needn't let it be the final word on what you need. (然而，你不必让它成为你需要什么的最终决定。)”形成转折。故选D。
5．G 根据前文“Even if you decide to change because others are telling you they are bothered by how you are, it is still important to remind yourself that you are making the choice to change. You can take their opinions but still remind yourself, ‘I am looking to change because I do not want people to be upset at me, not because I have to.’ (即使你决定改变是因为别人告诉你他们被你的现状所困扰，提醒自己你正在做出改变的选择仍然很重要。你可以接受他们的意见，但仍然提醒自己，‘我想改变，因为我不想让人们对我感到沮丧，而不是因为我必须这样做。’)”可知，即使决定改变，也要提醒自己你是在主动选择改变。此处需要一个总结性的句子，强调个人选择改变的原因，选项G“这样你就可以提醒自己，你看到了改变的理由。”符合语境。故选G。
Ⅲ.语法填空

语篇导读：本文为一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了根据艾媒咨询发布的数据，72.49%的中国年轻人更倾向于储蓄而不是过度消费。
解析：
1．released 考查非谓语动词。句意：艾媒咨询发布的数据显示，72.49%的中国年轻人更倾向于储蓄而不是过度消费。空处修饰data，data与release构成被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语。故填released。
2．whose 考查定语从句。句意：与他们的父母相比，他们的节俭观念根植于记忆，中国年轻人的节俭是一种选择而不是必须。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词their parents作sense of frugality的定语，用关系代词whose引导从句。故填whose。
3．achieving 考查非谓语动词。句意：这种新的节俭方式并不是对消费主义的完全否定，而是一种旨在达到商品价格和质量平衡的明智消费方式。at为介词，空处用动名词作宾语。故填achieving。

10．What 考查主语从句。句意：真正吸引他们注意力的是策略性消费和储蓄带来的满足感。is前面为主语从句，从句部分缺少主语，表示事物，用连接代词what引导从句，放在句首，首字母大写。故填What。

I've no intention of stopping comedy. I'm taking all these pills, trying to stay alive, and I hope to still be performing when I'm 100. My goal is to still be up there making people laugh. It's hard work, but it stops me being bored. I'd only be playing golf otherwise.

A vast majority of people usually argue that cycling can make a significant contribution to our world. In reality, there is a gap between desired and actual numbers. In Germany, for instance, only 20% of the everyday short distance trips are covered by bicycle. When enquiring about the causes, researchers found one point repeatedly tops the list: the perceived or potential risk on the bike routes used. Increasing the share of cycling trips thus depends crucially on well developed bike paths.
However, designing efficient bike path networks is a complex task that involves balancing a variety of limitations while meeting overall demand. In addition, many districts are confronted with a shortage of funds available for improving the infrastructure. Researchers propose a new approach to generating efficient bike path networks. This considers demand distribution and the route option of cyclists based on preferences for secure outings. Typically, minimizing the travel distance is far from the solely goal. Aspects such as attractiveness of a route are also taken into account.
Under real conditions, a bike path network is created by constantly adding bike paths to more streets. This time, researchers start with an ideal, complex network, in which all streets in a city are equipped with a bike path. In a virtual process, they gradually remove less used bike path sections from this network. The route selection of cyclists is continuously updated. Thus, a series of bike path networks is created and is always adapted to the current usage. Each stage of it corresponds to a variant that could be carried out with less financial support.
“We illustrate the applicability of this demand driven planning for crowded urban areas of Dresden and Hamburg，” explains researcher Christoph Steinacker. “We are approaching a real life issue here using the theoretic toolbox of network dynamics and compare efficient bike path networks under different conditions.”
语篇导读：本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究者通过研究如何建立发达的自行车道路网来提高自行车出行。
8．Why do people rarely cycle
A．They think of cycling as inefficient.
B．They usually take long distance trips.
C．They're concerned about the security.
D．They're unable to find special bike roads.
解析：C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In Germany, for instance, only 20% of the everyday short distance trips are covered by bicycle. When enquiring about the causes, researchers found one point repeatedly tops the list: the perceived or potential risk on the bike routes used.(比如说，在德国，每天的短距离行程中，只有20%是骑自行车出行。当被问及其原因时，研究者发现其中一个一直高居榜首：骑行路线的感知风险和潜在风险。)”可知，很少有人选择自行车出行是因为他们担心感知风险和潜在风险的存在，担心安全问题，故选C。
9．What is a challenge for good bike path networks
A.Tight budgets.
B．Complex routes.
C．Maximized travel distance.
D．Decreasing cycling demand.
解析：A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, designing efficient bike path networks is a complex task that involves balancing a variety of limitations while meeting overall demand. In addition, many districts are confronted with a shortage of funds available for improving the infrastructure.(然而，设计高效的自行车路线网络是一个复杂的任务，它包括平衡一系列限制的同时，还要满足全面的需求。而且，很多地区面临着提升设施的可用资金的短缺问题。)”可知，建立好的自行车道路网所遇到的挑战是资金短缺，预算紧张的问题，故选A。
10．What can be learned about the planning put forward by researchers
A．It will be updated once in a while.
B．It is contrary to the real life design.
C．It ensures every street has a bike path.
D．It serves as a model for other districts.
解析：B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This time, researchers start with an ideal, complex network, in which all streets in a city are equipped with a bike path. In a virtual process, they gradually remove less used bike path sections from this network. The route selection of cyclists is continuously updated. Thus, a series of bike path networks is created and is always adapted to the current usage.(这一次，研究者想出了一个理想的、复杂的道路网络，城市里所有街道都配备一条自行车道。在现实过程中，他们逐渐地从网络里移除了使用较少的自行车道。骑行者对道路的选择也在不断更新中。因此，就创造出了一系列的自行车道路网，它也总是在适应当前的使用状况。)”可推知，研究者提出的计划道路网是每个城市里所有街道都配备一条自行车道，但在实际过程中，却因为一些自行车道使用较少，而不得不逐渐减少它们，故研究者提出的计划与实际生活中的设计截然不同，故选B。
11．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Good Planning Gets the Bike Rolling
B．A Good Network Benefits More People
C．Cycling Paths Change Crowded Urban Areas
D．A New Concept Contributes to a Better World
解析：A 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段末句“Increasing the share of cycling trips thus depends crucially on well developed bike paths.(因此，增加自行车出行的比例至关重要地取决于发达的自行车道。)”以及后文对如何建立发达的自行车道可知，本文主要围绕通过建立发达的自行车道来鼓励人们骑行，故A项“好的计划能让自行车运转起来”符合文章标题，故选A。

There really is a lot of pressure on people to change these days. We are frequently told to change our opinions, attitudes, behaviors and directions.1. Instead of always striving to change to meet others' expectations, perhaps people should focus on accepting themselves.
There is an old saying: “You can't teach an old dog new trick”， implying that change (i.e. teaching “new tricks”) is important but old dogs cannot make that change.2. Instead of believing change is essentially necessary, we should consider why change is needed and what purpose it serves.
3. For example, a situation where a person is being told they need to have a “more positive attitude” is different from a situation where a student is being told they need to stop shouting at others every day. Certainly the second one reflects a much clearer need for change than the first.
If others are telling you that you need to change, that does not mean they are wrong but also does not mean they are right.4. However, you needn't let it be the final word on what you need.
Even if you decide to change because others are telling you they are bothered by how you are, it is still important to remind yourself that you are making the choice to change. You can take their opinions but still remind yourself, “I am looking to change because I do not want people to be upset at me, not because I have to.”5.
A．The motto has meanings for humans, too.
B．Change can have a great many benefits.
C．Change takes a variety of different forms.
D．You need to let them have their opinions.
E．Animals get older and have more experiences.
F．Actually, the significance of change might be overstated.
G．That way you can remind yourself that you are seeing a reason to change.
语篇导读：本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了现代社会中普遍存在改变的压力，指出改变未必总是必要，人们应当学会接受自己的现状和感受。
解析：
1．F 空前“We are frequently told to change our opinions, attitudes, behaviors and directions. (我们经常被告知要改变我们的观点、态度、行为和方向。)”讨论了现代社会中人们被频繁告知需要改变的方方面面。空后“Instead of always striving to change to meet others' expectations, perhaps people should focus on accepting themselves. (与其总是努力改变以满足他人的期望，也许人们应该专注于接受自己。)”提出了作者认为人们应该专注于接受自己而不是改变，由此可知，空处应讲述改变可能被过分强调了。选项F“实际上，改变的重要性可能被过分强调。”承上启下。故选F。
2．A 空前“There is an old saying：‘You can't teach an old dog new trick’， implying that change (i.e. teaching ‘new tricks’) is important but old dogs cannot make that change. (有一句老话：‘你不能教老狗新把戏’，这意味着改变(即教‘新把戏’)很重要，但老狗不能做出改变。)”中作者引用了一句俗语“You can't teach an old dog new trick”并解释说老狗难以做出改变。选项A“这条格言对人类也有意义。”紧接在对俗语的解释之后，指出了这句话对人类的启示作用。故选A。
3．C 根据下文“For example, a situation where a person is being told they need to have a ‘more positive attitude’ is different from a situation where a student is being told they need to stop shouting at others every day. Certainly the second one reflects a much clearer need for change than the first. (例如，一个人被告知他们需要有一个‘更积极的态度’的情况与一个学生被告知他们需要停止每天对别人大喊大叫的情况不同。当然，第二个情况比第一个情况反映了更明确的变革需求。)”可知，下文列举了改变的不同形式，由此可知，空处应讲述不同情境下的改变有不同表现，选项C“改变有各种不同的形式。”符合题意。故选C。
4．D 前文“If others are telling you that you need to change, that does not mean they are wrong but also does not mean they are right. (如果别人告诉你你需要改变，这并不意味着他们错了，也不意味着他们是对的。)”讨论了当别人告诉你需要改变时，这并不意味着他们一定是对的，也不意味着他们一定是错的，选项D“你需要允许他们有他们的观点”呼应了前文的论述，强调了虽然要尊重他人的观点，并与下文“However, you needn't let it be the final word on what you need. (然而，你不必让它成为你需要什么的最终决定。)”形成转折。故选D。
5．G 根据前文“Even if you decide to change because others are telling you they are bothered by how you are, it is still important to remind yourself that you are making the choice to change. You can take their opinions but still remind yourself, ‘I am looking to change because I do not want people to be upset at me, not because I have to.’ (即使你决定改变是因为别人告诉你他们被你的现状所困扰，提醒自己你正在做出改变的选择仍然很重要。你可以接受他们的意见，但仍然提醒自己，‘我想改变，因为我不想让人们对我感到沮丧，而不是因为我必须这样做。’)”可知，即使决定改变，也要提醒自己你是在主动选择改变。此处需要一个总结性的句子，强调个人选择改变的原因，选项G“这样你就可以提醒自己，你看到了改变的理由。”符合语境。故选G。

解析：
1．released 考查非谓语动词。句意：艾媒咨询发布的数据显示，72.49%的中国年轻人更倾向于储蓄而不是过度消费。空处修饰data，data与release构成被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语。故填released。
2．whose 考查定语从句。句意：与他们的父母相比，他们的节俭观念根植于记忆，中国年轻人的节俭是一种选择而不是必须。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词their parents作sense of frugality的定语，用关系代词whose引导从句。故填whose。
