A year ago, I started working out with a personal trainer and the results were obvious. The reflection in the mirror was fit and strong, with a narrow waist. This month I’ll be celebrating my 74th birthday, but I feel more like I’m about to turn 40. In fact, I’m in the best shape of my life. And I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late to make changes. If I can do it in my early 70s, then you can do it too.
I haven’t always felt so body confident. As a busy working mum I had the same hang-ups as so many other women. In my forties I fell into the trap of trying to do it all. I raised my daughter Laura, now 43, while working as a NHS clinical leader, which left me feeling stressed and exhausted. By 50 I’d reached breaking point. I ended up breaking down in the doctor’s surgery. And I was signed off work with stress-related depression.
I began to do a lot of soul searching. My burnout had set me on a completely different path. Around this time, my approach to my health was also shifting. So many women hit 50 thinking that’s it and they’re done, but for me it felt like a new beginning.
I enrolled in a gym and learned how to use the equipments. Over the next few years, I went to the gym roughly twice a week. Sometimes I didn’t want to go—but at the end of every session I always felt better.
I wrote and self-published a book called Journey to Chocolate about my seeking for a more balanced and satisfying life. I started eating “clean” with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, avoiding processed food and not drinking alcohol from Monday to Thursday. The changes to my diet made me feel more energetic and alert. I slept better, and managing my weight was much easier.

Power from home-based wind turbines (涡轮机) can be used locally, or sold back to the power company to offset power costs. Power companies buy green power from homeowners at retail (零售) rates, rather than the lower wholesale rates.
There is a great deal of power to use in the wind, and even a small homeowner can get involved. An effective way to use wind power is with a home wind turbine. Wind power is inconsistent in most areas of the world, so a wind generator alone is seldom sufficient to power a house.
However, a single wind generator can ease power cost in a household, especially coupled with other forms of clean energy, such as solar power. Multiple turbines can even be connected with a battery storage system for the household that wants to be completely reliant on air for power. One of the most impressive aspects of air as a power source is that once the turbine is in place, it operates at zero carbon production, making it an extremely environmentally friendly power source.
When siting wind turbines, the following factors should be kept in mind: check with the local government for the laws and regulations about siting wind turbines. Wind speeds are always higher at the top of a hill, on a shoreline, and in places clear of trees and other structures. Remember that trees grow over the years; wind turbine towers do not. Ensure neighbors are informed of plans early on to avoid conflict later on. Wind turbines can be a source of green power that will keep paying off for years to come, though the initial investment can be high. Bear in mind that the wind turbines are also likely to cause problems for wildlife, especially birds and bats.
28．What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Result in. B．Call off. C．Make up for. D．Give rise to.
29．Why is a wind turbine inadequate to meet the power demand of a house
A．Wind turbines have a low efficiency.
B．Sometimes there is little wind to take advantage of.
C．The household consumes too much electricity.
D．Wind power is consistent in most areas of the world.
30．Which goes against building a house completely reliant on green power
A．Multiple turbines. B．A battery storage system.
C．Solar power. D．Carbon production.
31．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The best places for siting wind turbines.
B．The disadvantages of siting wind turbines.
C．Matters needing attention when siting wind turbines.
D．Costs and dangers of siting wind turbines ecologically.
D
Time is running short to address climate change, but there are possible and effective solutions on the table, according to a new UN climate report released in March.
Only swift, dramatic, and sustained emission (排放) cuts will be enough to meet the world’s climate goals, according to the new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a body of climate experts that regularly summarize the state of this issue.
“We are walking when we should be running fast,” said Hoesung Lee, IPCC chair, in a press conference announcing the report in March. To limit warming to 1.5℃ above preindustrial levels, the target set by international climate agreements, annual greenhouse-gas emission will need to be cut by nearly half between now and 2030, according to the report. It calculates that the results from actions taken now will be clear in global temperature trends within two decades.
“We already have the technology and the know-how to get the job done,” said Inger Andersen, executive director of UN Environment Programme, during the press conference. “Stopping climate change will still be complicated, and long-term emission cuts may largely rely on technologies, like carbon dioxide removal, that are still unproven at scale. In addition to technological advances, cutting emission in industries that are difficult to transform will involve many factors.”
But in the near term, there’s a clear path forward for the emission cuts needed to put the planet on the right track. There are some of the tasks with the lowest cost and highest potential to address climate change during this decade, such as developing wind and solar power, cutting methane (甲烷) emission from fossil-fuel production and waste, protecting natural ecosystems that trap carbon, and using energy efficiently in vehicles, homes, and industries.
32．What is the author’s attitude towards tackling climate change
A．Positive. B．Worried. C．Skeptical. D．Uncertain.
33．What does Hoesung Lee mean
A．It’s impossible to achieve the climate goal.
B．He knows how to cut emission efficiently.
C．The pace of global warming is speeding up.
D．He is dissatisfied with current emission cuts.
34．What is the guarantee of long-term emission reduction according to Inger Andersen
A．Policy. B．Market. C．Funding. D．Technology.
35．What message does this text mainly convey
A．Emission cutting is urgent.
B．Climate change is unstoppable.
C．Global warming is becoming complicated.
D．Meeting climate goals needs cooperation.

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 comes to mind when you think about chocolate A candy bar at Halloween Ice cream on a hot day
For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. 36 But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. We would also learn that he is just one of more than two million children who perform this difficult labour instead of attending school.
To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. 37 It aims to create a different relationship between buyers (chocolate companies) and sellers (cocoa farmers) by encouraging farmers to join together to form a shared business called a cooperative. Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers. 38
Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products. 39 It is a programme recognizing schools that provide Fairtrade products in cafeterias or include related lessons in curriculum (课程).
Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim—children who want a happy future just like you do. 40 By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you.
A．You have the power to change the story.
B．The labels on chocolate do not tell his story.
C．Fairtrade is a way of doing business that prohibits child labour.
D．You can also take action through the Fairtrade Schools network.
E．On many farms, children like Ibrahim perform difficult farming tasks.
F．Cocoa trees grow in the tropical climates of Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia.
G．With more income, farmers can pay adult workers and can send their children to school.

The Poseidon Effect
Late one autumn day at the local swimming pool in Ancenis, France, an 18-year-old named Jean LeRoy came for his regular evening swim in the 25-metre pool.
When people are drowning, they don’t usually shout and 41 in the way it happens on television. Most people drown quite 42 , with the person quickly sinking beneath the water. On the evening, LeRoy was testing how far he could swim underwater 43 one breath. At some moment, as he was doing this, he became unconscious. 44 he tried he couldn’t breathe. He sank to the bottom of the pool. LeRoy was drowning.
Luckily for him, the swimming pool was 45 with an electronic surveillance system called Poseidon. Although the human lifeguards had not noticed, 12 large machine eyes deep underwater were watching the whole thing. Poseidon has underwater cameras which 46 people as they swim. The cameras are connected to a computer. It is 47 to recognize 48 a swimmer is not moving normally. The lifeguards at the Ancenis pool were wearing a special device that 49 when the computer detected a possible problem. Sixteen seconds after Poseidon noticed LeRoy’s body, the lifeguards had pulled him out of the pool. He started breathing again. After one night in hospital, he was sent home completely 50 . Poseidon had saved his life.
Machines like Poseidon completely change how we live. Think of your life before the answering machine was invented. Think of your grandparents’ lives before the television and the airplane were introduced. The change will be just as great. It is 51 happening.
Soon, machines will recognize our faces and our fingerprints. They will 52 for drowning people, for 53 carrying bombs, for speeding drivers and heart patients. Imagine devices that monitor a baby’s breathing and track children as they go to and from school. Imagine machines 54 quiet signals to nearby computers, which will send information to your doctor, your lawyer, and the local police. As time passes, more and more of our lives will be 55 by machines. They will know all about us.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Young Chinese are fighting against society through a simple act of resistance: lying down. Examples of the “tangping”, or “lying flat”, way of life 56 (include) not getting married, not having children, and refusing to work extra hours or to hold a job at all. “I stay at home and sleep and watch television series.” said Zhang, who described herself as “lying flat” for the last two weeks 57 leaving her job in the film industry in Wuxi.
“Tangping” 58 (emerge) over the last few months. Some compare them to the 1950s Beat Generation in the United States. 59 (other) call their behavior a form of nonviolent resistance. “People realize there is no upward mobility,” said Yicheng Wang, a PhD student in political science at Boston University. The term developed after 60 April post on the Tieba forum, whose author, unemployed for the last two years, described a low-effort, low-cost lifestyle consisting of just a few months’ work out of the year.
“Lying flat is my movement,” he 61 (write), referring to the Greek philosopher Diogenes, who was known for living in a large container. He posted a picture of himself lying in bed in the middle of the day with the curtains 62 (draw).
But as “tangping” gained 63 (popular), it also brought a level of dishonor. Nanfang Daily called the philosophy “shameful”. Global Times made light of it describing “lying flat” as “not a serious philosophy”.
For Zhang in Wuxi, lying flat is not about giving up or withdrawing from society. “Many people want to lie down because 996 is too 64 (tire), ” she said, referring to the constant hours common in tech industry, 65 the staff are expected to work from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. , six days a week. The philosophy is also about giving oneself a break.

Pimple on the Nose
“Nooo!” screamed Asha as she saw a huge pimple(痘) on her nose. She didn’t have time to cover the pimple as she was running late to school. She gobbled her breakfast, grabbed her bag and got into her school bus just in time. As soon as she entered, kids started laughing. Nobody was willing to make her sit beside them. Even Anita, her bus mate acted a bit differently with her.
Asha was lost in thoughts. A new thought popped in her mind every second. Once she thought “Great! As if homework and exams were not enough, I have to worry about my pimple as well.” The next minute another thought popped in her mind. “I am tired of using that face wash. I still wonder how I agreed to use that horrible thing! How can…” Mr. Shetty, the bus driver said “Asha, do you want to miss the class ” Asha was so lost in her thoughts that she did not even notice that everybody had got down the bus except her.
She did not want to step into the campus. She thought, “What will my teachers think What will my friends think ” After some time, she gathered courage and entered her class expecting that she would be laughed at.
It was a very hard day at school for her. As soon as she got home, she hugged her mother tightly. As she did so she felt all her worries were not even a dot in front of the warm and loving hug.
Later that day, she went to the supermarket with her mother. While coming back she heard people commenting on her pimple. A small child cried, “Daddy! My cherry is on her nose! Get it for me.” She heard some boys murmuring, “If she would have been in our school, she would definitely be chosen as the joker in the dance.”
Asha wondered why people cared so much about her appearance.

A year ago, I started working out with a personal trainer and the results were obvious. The reflection in the mirror was fit and strong, with a narrow waist. This month I’ll be celebrating my 74th birthday, but I feel more like I’m about to turn 40. In fact, I’m in the best shape of my life. And I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late to make changes. If I can do it in my early 70s, then you can do it too.
I haven’t always felt so body confident. As a busy working mum I had the same hang-ups as so many other women. In my forties I fell into the trap of trying to do it all. I raised my daughter Laura, now 43, while working as a NHS clinical leader, which left me feeling stressed and exhausted. By 50 I’d reached breaking point. I ended up breaking down in the doctor’s surgery. And I was signed off work with stress-related depression.
I began to do a lot of soul searching. My burnout had set me on a completely different path. Around this time, my approach to my health was also shifting. So many women hit 50 thinking that’s it and they’re done, but for me it felt like a new beginning.
I enrolled in a gym and learned how to use the equipments. Over the next few years, I went to the gym roughly twice a week. Sometimes I didn’t want to go—but at the end of every session I always felt better.
I wrote and self-published a book called Journey to Chocolate about my seeking for a more balanced and satisfying life. I started eating “clean” with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, avoiding processed food and not drinking alcohol from Monday to Thursday. The changes to my diet made me feel more energetic and alert. I slept better, and managing my weight was much easier.

C
Power from home-based wind turbines (涡轮机) can be used locally, or sold back to the power company to offset power costs. Power companies buy green power from homeowners at retail (零售) rates, rather than the lower wholesale rates.
There is a great deal of power to use in the wind, and even a small homeowner can get involved. An effective way to use wind power is with a home wind turbine. Wind power is inconsistent in most areas of the world, so a wind generator alone is seldom sufficient to power a house.
However, a single wind generator can ease power cost in a household, especially coupled with other forms of clean energy, such as solar power. Multiple turbines can even be connected with a battery storage system for the household that wants to be completely reliant on air for power. One of the most impressive aspects of air as a power source is that once the turbine is in place, it operates at zero carbon production, making it an extremely environmentally friendly power source.
When siting wind turbines, the following factors should be kept in mind: check with the local government for the laws and regulations about siting wind turbines. Wind speeds are always higher at the top of a hill, on a shoreline, and in places clear of trees and other structures. Remember that trees grow over the years; wind turbine towers do not. Ensure neighbors are informed of plans early on to avoid conflict later on. Wind turbines can be a source of green power that will keep paying off for years to come, though the initial investment can be high. Bear in mind that the wind turbines are also likely to cause problems for wildlife, especially birds and bats.
28．What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Result in. B．Call off. C．Make up for. D．Give rise to.
29．Why is a wind turbine inadequate to meet the power demand of a house
A．Wind turbines have a low efficiency.
B．Sometimes there is little wind to take advantage of.
C．The household consumes too much electricity.
D．Wind power is consistent in most areas of the world.
30．Which goes against building a house completely reliant on green power
A．Multiple turbines. B．A battery storage system.
C．Solar power. D．Carbon production.
31．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The best places for siting wind turbines.
B．The disadvantages of siting wind turbines.
C．Matters needing attention when siting wind turbines.
D．Costs and dangers of siting wind turbines ecologically.
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．D 31．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了家庭式风力发电机的工作原理、优势、使用注意事项等，旨在向读者提供关于这种绿色能源技术的全面信息。
28．词句猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“Power companies buy green power from homeowners at retail (零售) rates, rather than the lower wholesale rates.(电力公司以零售价格从房主手中购买绿色电力，而不是以较低的批发价格购买。)”可推测，电力公司可购买家用风力涡轮机产生的电力从而抵消电力消耗。选项A“Result in (导致)”；选项B“Call off (取消)”；选项C“Make up for (弥补，抵消)”；选项D“Give rise to (引起)”；所以划线单词和项中的make up for意义一致。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Wind power is inconsistent in most areas of the world, so a wind generator alone is seldom sufficient to power a house.(风力发电在世界上大多数地区是不稳定的，所以单独的风力发电机很少足以为一所房子供电。)”可知，风力涡轮机不足以满足一个家庭的电力需求是因为风力发电在世界上大多数地区是不稳定的，有时候并没有风可利用。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“However, a single wind generator can ease power cost in a household, especially coupled with other forms of clean energy, such as solar power. Multiple turbines can even be connected with a battery storage system for the household that wants to be completely reliant on air for power. One of the most impressive aspects of air as a power source is that once the turbine is in place, it operates at zero carbon production, making it an extremely environmentally friendly power source.(然而，一个风力发电机可以减轻家庭的电力成本，特别是与其他形式的清洁能源，如太阳能相结合。多个涡轮机甚至可以连接到一个电池存储系统，供想要完全依赖空气供电的家庭使用。空气作为动力源最令人印象深刻的方面之一是，一旦涡轮机就位，它就会以零碳排放的方式运行，使其成为一种极其环保的动力源。)”可判断，选项A“Multiple turbines(多涡轮)”、选项B“A battery storage system.(电池存储系统)”和选项C“Solar power(太阳能)”都是绿色环保的。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“When siting wind turbines, the following factors should be kept in mind: check with the local government for the laws and regulations about siting wind turbines. Wind speeds are always higher at the top of a hill, on a shoreline, and in places clear of trees and other structures. Remember that trees grow over the years; wind turbine towers do not. Ensure neighbors are informed of plans early on to avoid conflict later on.(风电机组选址时，应注意以下几点:向当地政府查询有关风电机组选址的法律法规。在山顶、海岸线上以及没有树木和其他建筑物的地方，风速总是更高。记住，树木会随着岁月而生长;而风力涡轮机塔则不然。确保邻居们尽早了解计划，以避免以后的冲突。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述的是风力涡轮机选址注意事项。故选C。
D
Time is running short to address climate change, but there are possible and effective solutions on the table, according to a new UN climate report released in March.
Only swift, dramatic, and sustained emission (排放) cuts will be enough to meet the world’s climate goals, according to the new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a body of climate experts that regularly summarize the state of this issue.
“We are walking when we should be running fast,” said Hoesung Lee, IPCC chair, in a press conference announcing the report in March. To limit warming to 1.5℃ above preindustrial levels, the target set by international climate agreements, annual greenhouse-gas emission will need to be cut by nearly half between now and 2030, according to the report. It calculates that the results from actions taken now will be clear in global temperature trends within two decades.
“We already have the technology and the know-how to get the job done,” said Inger Andersen, executive director of UN Environment Programme, during the press conference. “Stopping climate change will still be complicated, and long-term emission cuts may largely rely on technologies, like carbon dioxide removal, that are still unproven at scale. In addition to technological advances, cutting emission in industries that are difficult to transform will involve many factors.”
But in the near term, there’s a clear path forward for the emission cuts needed to put the planet on the right track. There are some of the tasks with the lowest cost and highest potential to address climate change during this decade, such as developing wind and solar power, cutting methane (甲烷) emission from fossil-fuel production and waste, protecting natural ecosystems that trap carbon, and using energy efficiently in vehicles, homes, and industries.
32．What is the author’s attitude towards tackling climate change
A．Positive. B．Worried. C．Skeptical. D．Uncertain.
33．What does Hoesung Lee mean
A．It’s impossible to achieve the climate goal.
B．He knows how to cut emission efficiently.
C．The pace of global warming is speeding up.
D．He is dissatisfied with current emission cuts.
34．What is the guarantee of long-term emission reduction according to Inger Andersen
A．Policy. B．Market. C．Funding. D．Technology.
35．What message does this text mainly convey
A．Emission cutting is urgent.
B．Climate change is unstoppable.
C．Global warming is becoming complicated.
D．Meeting climate goals needs cooperation.
【答案】32．A 33．D 34．D 35．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章强调了尽快采取措施解决气候问题的紧迫性。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Time is running short to address climate change, but there are possible and effective solutions on the table(应对气候变化的时间不多了，但我们已经找到了可行的、有效的解决办法)”可知，作者对于解决气候变化的问题持积极的态度。故选A。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段中“We are walking when we should be running fast(我们应该快跑的时候却在走)”可知，Hoesung Lee 对于目前的减排措施不满意。故选D。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Stopping climate change will still be complicated, and long-term emission cuts may largely rely on technologies, like carbon dioxide removal, that are still unproven at scale.(阻止气候变化仍将是复杂的，长期减排可能主要依赖于技术，如二氧化碳去除，这些技术尚未得到大规模验证。)”可知，根据Inger Andersen的观点，长期减排的保证是技术。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Time is running short to address climate change(应对气候变化的时间已经不多了)”，第二段中“Only swift, dramatic, and sustained emission (排放) cuts will be enough to meet the world’s climate goals(只有迅速、大幅度和持续的减排才足以实现世界的气候目标)”，以及第三段中“We are walking when we should be running fast(我们应该快跑的时候却在走)”等可知，本文主要强调减排问题已经迫在眉睫，因此A选项“Emission cutting is urgent.(减排迫在眉睫)”是文章的主旨，故选A。

What comes to mind when you think about chocolate A candy bar at Halloween Ice cream on a hot day
For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. 36 But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. We would also learn that he is just one of more than two million children who perform this difficult labour instead of attending school.
To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. 37 It aims to create a different relationship between buyers (chocolate companies) and sellers (cocoa farmers) by encouraging farmers to join together to form a shared business called a cooperative. Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers. 38
Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products. 39 It is a programme recognizing schools that provide Fairtrade products in cafeterias or include related lessons in curriculum (课程).
Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim—children who want a happy future just like you do. 40 By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you.
A．You have the power to change the story.
B．The labels on chocolate do not tell his story.
C．Fairtrade is a way of doing business that prohibits child labour.
D．You can also take action through the Fairtrade Schools network.
E．On many farms, children like Ibrahim perform difficult farming tasks.
F．Cocoa trees grow in the tropical climates of Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia.
G．With more income, farmers can pay adult workers and can send their children to school.
【答案】36．B 37．C 38．G 39．D 40．A
【导语】本文是说明文。文中主要讲述了很多儿童从事艰巨的制作巧克力的工作而无法上学，为了改变这种现象，一些农场实行了公平交易政策。作为消费者你也能帮助这些孩子们。
36．上文“For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. (对于来自西非国家加纳的12岁男孩易卜拉欣来说，巧克力并不是甜食，而是甜点。这是关于艰苦的工作。)”指出制作巧克力是12岁男孩Ibrahim的艰辛工作，下文“But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. (但如果它们是这样，我们就会了解到易卜拉欣每天都在种植和收获可可豆，然后用可可豆制成巧克力)”是一种假设，由此可知，空处应用与下文内容相反，应该介绍我们无法了解到Ibrahim的情况，B项“巧克力上的标签并没有讲述他的故事。”符合，下文的they代指The labels on chocolate，故选B。
37．上文“To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. (为了改变这样的有害做法，一些农场采用了一种称为Fairtrade的方法。)”指出为了严禁雇佣儿童，一些农场使用了叫做Fairtrade的方法，空处承接上文，对此方法进行介绍，C项“Fairtrade是一种禁止童工的经营方式。”符合，故选C。
38．上文“Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers.(由于农民共同工作而不是相互竞争，他们可以向买家索要更高的价格。)”指出农民共同工作而不是相互竞争，他们可以向买家索要更高的价格，空处承接上文，指出这么做的好处，G项“有了更多的收入，农民就可以支付成年工人的工资并可以送孩子上学。”符合，承接上文，故选G。
39．上文“Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products.(像你这样的消费者也可以发挥作用。如果可能的话，你可以购买公平贸易巧克力，向糖果公司施加压力，要求其改变劳工惯例，或者要求当地商店销售公平贸易产品。)”可知，许多儿童从事艰巨劳动而不能上学，对此消费者可以发挥一些作用来帮助他们，上文具体提出了消费者可以做的事，空处也应是具体措施，D项“你还可以通过公平贸易学校网络采取行动。”符合，故选D。
40．上文“Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim-children who want a happy future just like you do. (巧克力有一个隐藏的故事，影响着像易卜拉欣这样的孩子——他们和你一样想要幸福的未来。)”可知，从事艰巨劳动而不能上学的儿童和你一样也想要幸福的未来，下文“By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you.(通过买公平贸易产品或只是传播这个信息，你可以让巧克力对所有孩子来说都像对你一样甜。)”指出你可以帮助这些孩子——购买公平贸易产品或只是传播公平交易这个信息，由此可知，空处应该是引起下文，指出你能帮助他们，为文中讲述的像Ibrahim这样的孩子从事艰巨劳动而无法上学这样的故事做出一些改变，A项“你有能力改变这个故事。”符合，故选A。

The Poseidon Effect
Late one autumn day at the local swimming pool in Ancenis, France, an 18-year-old named Jean LeRoy came for his regular evening swim in the 25-metre pool.
When people are drowning, they don’t usually shout and 41 in the way it happens on television. Most people drown quite 42 , with the person quickly sinking beneath the water. On the evening, LeRoy was testing how far he could swim underwater 43 one breath. At some moment, as he was doing this, he became unconscious. 44 he tried he couldn’t breathe. He sank to the bottom of the pool. LeRoy was drowning.
Luckily for him, the swimming pool was 45 with an electronic surveillance system called Poseidon. Although the human lifeguards had not noticed, 12 large machine eyes deep underwater were watching the whole thing. Poseidon has underwater cameras which 46 people as they swim. The cameras are connected to a computer. It is 47 to recognize 48 a swimmer is not moving normally. The lifeguards at the Ancenis pool were wearing a special device that 49 when the computer detected a possible problem. Sixteen seconds after Poseidon noticed LeRoy’s body, the lifeguards had pulled him out of the pool. He started breathing again. After one night in hospital, he was sent home completely 50 . Poseidon had saved his life.
Machines like Poseidon completely change how we live. Think of your life before the answering machine was invented. Think of your grandparents’ lives before the television and the airplane were introduced. The change will be just as great. It is 51 happening.
Soon, machines will recognize our faces and our fingerprints. They will 52 for drowning people, for 53 carrying bombs, for speeding drivers and heart patients. Imagine devices that monitor a baby’s breathing and track children as they go to and from school. Imagine machines 54 quiet signals to nearby computers, which will send information to your doctor, your lawyer, and the local police. As time passes, more and more of our lives will be 55 by machines. They will know all about us.

China—a Hot Destination for Studying Abroad
In recent years, an obvious trend has emerged—more and more foreign students are choosing to study in China. In my opinion, it’s a clear indication of China’s appeal as a destination for higher education and increasing global influence.
For many foreign students, the rich cultural heritage, dynamic economy, and world-class education system all contribute to making China an attractive destination for studying abroad. Moreover, China’s position as a global leader in several fields, especially technology and research, gives students the unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience and skills that are highly valued in today’s job market.

Pimple on the Nose
“Nooo!” screamed Asha as she saw a huge pimple(痘) on her nose. She didn’t have time to cover the pimple as she was running late to school. She gobbled her breakfast, grabbed her bag and got into her school bus just in time. As soon as she entered, kids started laughing. Nobody was willing to make her sit beside them. Even Anita, her bus mate acted a bit differently with her.
Asha was lost in thoughts. A new thought popped in her mind every second. Once she thought “Great! As if homework and exams were not enough, I have to worry about my pimple as well.” The next minute another thought popped in her mind. “I am tired of using that face wash. I still wonder how I agreed to use that horrible thing! How can…” Mr. Shetty, the bus driver said “Asha, do you want to miss the class ” Asha was so lost in her thoughts that she did not even notice that everybody had got down the bus except her.
She did not want to step into the campus. She thought, “What will my teachers think What will my friends think ” After some time, she gathered courage and entered her class expecting that she would be laughed at.
It was a very hard day at school for her. As soon as she got home, she hugged her mother tightly. As she did so she felt all her worries were not even a dot in front of the warm and loving hug.
Later that day, she went to the supermarket with her mother. While coming back she heard people commenting on her pimple. A small child cried, “Daddy! My cherry is on her nose! Get it for me.” She heard some boys murmuring, “If she would have been in our school, she would definitely be chosen as the joker in the dance.”
Asha wondered why people cared so much about her appearance.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Finally it was time for bed story, and mom asked her to choose a book. Mom said, “What about Cindrella ” “Did Cindrella have pimples too Was her growing up also as difficult as mine ” Asha asked innocently. Her mother smiled and began to explain to her that in fairy tale characters faced greater difficulties in life. Asha showed a little interest in the book but when she saw the book was a little worn out with old cover, she replied, “No. The book looks too old.”
Her mother asked her never to judge a book by its old corer but to pay attention to the details. Then mom began to read the book. Soon Asha was deeply absorbed in the magical story. When mom ended the story, she was moved to tears. Her mother explained, “We often judge people by their appearance. This is why everybody was commenting about you today. Never think about this pimple. It can never change the way you are.” So, an old book taught Asha a lesson for life: Never judge a book by its cover.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Asha由于鼻子上长了一颗青春痘而感到非常困扰，在学校遭受同学们的嘲笑和排斥，让她深感焦虑和不安。然而，通过与母亲的交流和阅读一本旧书，她逐渐领悟到外貌并不是衡量一个人的唯一标准，更重要的是内在的品质和个性。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“终于到了讲床上故事的时间了，妈妈让她选一本书。”以及第二段首句内容“她母亲叫她不要以貌取人，而要注意细节。”可知，第一段可描写Asha因为书本封面破旧而不想阅读这本书。
②由第二段首句内容“她母亲叫她不要以貌取人，而要注意细节。”可知，第二段可描写在听完这本书后，Asha被书的内容所吸引，她也明白了内在的品质和个性才是最重要的。
2.续写线索：Asha鼻子上长了一颗青春痘——上了校车后，孩子们都嘲笑她，她非常不安——在学校的一天里，她觉得备受煎熬——晚些时候，她和妈妈一起去超市，又被一个小孩嘲笑了——Asha觉得这一天糟糕极了——到了睡前读故事的时候，妈妈建议她读灰姑娘的故事——可是，Asha看到书本封面太破旧了，不太想读这本书——妈妈告诉Asha外表并不重要，内在的品质才是最重要的——这本书中的精彩内容让Asha明白了妈妈的意思
