A confident smile is a happy smile. Have you ever had a stranger smile at you while you were out in public Maybe you were feeling down, but their genuine and friendly smiles literally made you turn your frown upside down. All thanks to that smiley person, your negative attitude suddenly subsided. It is hard to believe that such a small gesture can impact your mood so sim ply, but I would be lying if I said that I’ve never experienced this feeling. I’m sure you can relate.
With that being said, science can back this up. Where are these happy feelings coming from Well, when you smile at someone, you may feel like you’re experiencing temporary happiness.That is because endorphins (内啡肽) are released in the brain when you smile. Endorphins can be described as natural painkillers for the body, which also boost your self-esteem (自尊). Smiling is really a simple act of kindness, which can also make you feel better about yourself.
As an illustration, someone going in for a job interview with their heads held high, and smiles on their faces will have a better chance of scoring the job. Employers remark that a person who looks down when they speak to avoid showing their smiles during an interview, most likely won’t be hired, because it looks as though they are hiding something. However, that person with an inviting smile shows confidence. No matter what you look like, a smile is worth a thousand words and people can recognize that.
It gives me such a rewarding feeling helping children, teens, and adults to build their selfesteem through treatment. It’s all worth it seeing that spark of joy in my patient after the job is all said and done. I truly believe that a bright eyed smile has the capacity to allow you to connect with others, without uttering a sound.
24．What does the underlined word “subsided”mean in Paragraph 1
A．Appeared. B．Weakened. C．Increased. D．Smiled.
25．What’s the use of endorphins
A．Making people feel happy.
B．Making people act kindly.
C．Making brains work fast.
D．Curing some diseases.
26．Why is it hard for a person not showing a smile to get a job
A．He holds his head too high.
B．He looks down upon others.
C．He looks a little dishonest.
D．He is too confident.
27．What kind of work is the author likely to do
A．A teacher. B．A volunteer. C．A scientist. D．A doctor.
C
Farmers and hunters are calling for an extension to the Victorian duck hunting season, saying certain species are doing great harm to crops and waterways and need to be controlled. This season runs from 8:00 am today and will end in 20 days, down from the usual 12 weeks, with a bag limit of five listed game ducks per day.
Wayne Shields grows leafy greens on the Mornington Peninsula and he said the decision to reduce the duck hunting season would take its toll on farmers. “The wood ducks are the ones causing all of the damage; the black ducks are no problem around here. The wood ducks come in at night and they just clean me out completely and they’ve done it a number of times over a number of years,” he said.
Mr. Shields and his wife, Natasha, run Peninsula Fresh Organics and he said there was nothing he could do to stop the invasion . “I nearly went broke a few years ago. Back then I was planting 10,000 lettuce (生菜) a week and they would quite happily eat 10,000 lettuce a week.” Due to the damage caused by the wood ducks, Mr. Shields said there should be a year-round open season on the wood ducks and farmers should be allowed to shoot birds.
Professor Richard Kingsford, Director of the Centre for Ecosystem Science at UNSW, said although the wood ducks ate crops, extending the duck season may not achieve what farmers wanted. He is calling on the government to invest more in research to address the threat certain species of waterbirds caused for some farmers, so other nonlethal (非致命的) ways to destroy the birds can be found.
28．What is the difference about duck hunting this year
A．Duck hunting is prohibited. B．The duck hunting season is shortened.
C．The duck hunting season is prolonged. D．Duck hunting is limited to a bag of ducks.
29．What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A．Farmers suffer a huge loss from wood ducks.
B．Farmers actually approve of keeping black ducks.
C．Wood ducks wake farmers up completely at night.
D．Farmers support the reduction of the duck hunting season.
30．What did Mr. Shields suggest concerning the wood ducks
A．Making more investment in wood ducks. B．Making shooting birds permitted for farmers.
C．Doing nothing to stop the invasion. D．Planting more lettuce on the farm.
31．What does Richard Kingsford think of the hunting season extension
A．Indifferent. B．Neutral. C．Favorable. D．Opposed.
D
Suppose you come across two doctors. One is handsome while the other looks plain. Who would you trust with your surgery Most people would probably want to get treated by the handsome one. And most people are likely to be wrong about that.
When you look at the sun, you sometimes see it clearly. But sometimes you’ll see it shining way bigger than its actual shape. That circle of light called a halo makes it look bigger. This effect, known as the halo effect, also happens when a person, product, or company shines like the sun. Then we don’t see them clearly and associate all sorts of unrelated qualities to them.
The halo effect was once studied by the psychologist Edward Thorndike, who asked flight commanders to evaluate their pilots in various distinct aspects such as physical appearance, intelligence, and leadership. He found that the pilots who got high scores for their physical appearance, also got rated high on intelligence and leadership skills-a link that seemed wrong. It appears that the commanders were unable to evaluate specific qualities independently of others. They thought of their pilots in broad terms, either “good” or “bad”, and allowed this general feeling to influence the specific qualities they credited to their pilots. Some pilots profited from their halo.
The halo effect also explains why some teachers give better-looking students higher grades. One study looked at the grades of 4, 500 pupils, who were sorted by volunteers into three groups: below- average, average, and above-average looking. The researchers then compared students’ grades between classes taken in conventional classrooms with those taken online where there was no face-to-face interaction. The researchers found that students who were rated as good-looking earned significantly lower grades in online courses compared to conventional classrooms.
Since the physical appearance of good-looking people seems to naturally make them also appear intelligent, strong, and trustworthy, here is one good rule. If you meet with an accident and have to choose between two equally qualified doctors, ignore their halo and choose the less handsome one. He might have worked twice as hard to gain the same reputation and is likely better at his job.
32．What is the purpose of the second paragraph
A．To explore a natural wonder.
B．To spread scientific knowledge.
C．To explain a psychological tendency.
D．To interpret social rules at the workplace.
33．How did the commanders tend to evaluate their pilots in Thorndike’s study
A．In a general way. B．With common sense.
C．From a specific aspect. D．By an objective criterion.
34．What does the 4500-pupil study find about better-looking students
A．They were fairly treated by their teachers.
B．They were less attentive in online courses.
C．They probably had natural learning abilities.
D．They were overvalued in conventional classes.
35．What can be learned about the halo effect
A．It relieves appearance anxiety.
B．It leads to inaccurate judgments.
C．It causes trust crisis among people.
D．It intensifies workplace competition.

Yoga has a well-deserved reputation for helping improve balance and flexibility and for inducing calm and relaxation. 36 While you might not burn as many calories by practicing yoga as you would by running or doing some other high-intensity activities, yoga can still raise your heart rate and help build muscle. Here’s more about how yoga is a complete body and mind workout.
·Reduce stress and reduce pounds. Yoga helps deal with stress. 37 Yoga has an impact on the body’s stress response and reduces the production of chemicals linked to weight gain, such as cortisol (皮质醇), a stress hormone.
·Move well and eat well. 38 Participants involved in yoga practice realize that they tend to notice not only the amount of food they eat, but also what type of foods they eat and the impact of eating those foods. They become aware of the effect of certain foods on their bodies during their yoga practice.
· 39 Doing yoga long term not only can help people lose weight but also can strengthen cognitive skills to help keep it off. A multiyear study examines the possibility of yoga maintaining weight loss. Its findings suggest that yoga may help to improve long-term weight loss outcomes via improvements in distress tolerance, self-compassion and a more positive mood.
Yoga is a very reasonable form of exercise, but you have to choose the right type. A 2021 study found no difference in weight loss totals for participants practicing a gentle, restorative yoga versus a more vigorous type of yoga. 40 Everybody can benefit from a yoga practice.
A．Make weight loss last.
B．Learn about cognitive skills.
C．Studies show that high levels of cortisol can lead to an increase in fat.
D．Several studies have confirmed that doing yoga does raise cortisol levels.
E．Yoga helps break old dietary habits and related unconscious patterns of behavior.
F．Actually, the best yoga is the practice that fits for you — the one you’ll commit to.
G．But as for weight loss, many people assume other types of exercise will benefit more.

Oxford University Press (OUP), publisher of the Oxford English Dictionary, named “rizz” the word of the year for 2023.
“Rizz 56 (choose) by the language experts at OUP as an interesting example of how language can be formed, shaped, and shared within communities, before 57 (pick) up more widely,” OUP said in a press release. “It speaks to how younger generations create spaces — online or in person — 58 they own and define the language they use.”
OUP said it’s likely that more words from social media and internet culture will be used in everyday language over time.
Words and phrases 59 (share) via social media and catching 60 so quickly that they are surpassing previous linguistic trends and are becoming mainstream much quicker.
“The spike(猛增) in usage data for rizz goes to prove that words and phrases that evolve from internet culture are 61 (increasing) becoming part of day-to-day vernacular (方言) and will continue to shape language 62 (trend) in the future,” Oxford Languages President Casper Grathwohl said in a statement.
OUP said the word is believed to be 63 shortened form of the word charisma, taken from the middle part of the word. Similar examples include refrigerator 64 (become) fridge and influenza, commonly called flu.
Rizz can also be used as a verb. To “rizz up” means to attract, seduce (引诱) 65 chat up a person, OUP said.

67．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 was a typical Monday morning for Jenny, a diligent high school senior. The sound of her alarm clock woke her up, a rude awakening from her sweet dreams. She unwillingly opened her eyes, knowing what waited for her-another 5 long days at school.
Dragging herself out of bed, Jenny went through her usual morning routine. She hurriedly got dressed, grabbed her backpack, and rushed to the kitchen for breakfast. Her mother had prepared a nutritious meal, but Jenny had no appetite. She was too occupied with thoughts of an upcoming exam in her most challenging subject, mathematics.
As Jenny walked to school, her mind wandered back to the countless hours she had spent studying and practicing equations (方程式). She had put in lots of effort, hoping to improve her grades. However, despite her dedication, she was struggling to achieve the desired results. Doubts started crawling in, and anxiety stayed in her mind like dark clouds.
As students settled into their seats, Mr. Johnson, their math teacher, announced that the exam would take place that afternoon. Jenny started to feel afraid. She suddenly realized that she had forgotten her calculator at home, an essential tool for the exam. Panic turned into hopelessness, as she knew that borrowing one during the test would be strictly prohibited.
Jenny’s friends, Emma and David, noticed her worry and approached her after class. They offered their help. Emma suggested that Jenny be honest to Mr. Johnson and explain her situation. David, however, had a different plan. He proposed sneaking (偷偷给) his calculator to her during the exam, risking punishment for cheating.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jenny’s heart sank.

【原文】M: Hello, teachers and students! Now I have an important announcement to make. There are a few changes that have been made to the visit. So, please pay full attention to what I’m saying next. We still have been arranged to pay a visit to the local museum this weekend, but this time it’s on Saturday not on Sunday. We are informed that the museum won’t open this Sunday due to some special reasons. And we are going to meet on the playground instead of the school gate at eight o’clock tomorrow morning. We will go directly there by bus. You’d better wear comfortable shoes for long walks in the museum. Please bring a notebook with you and make some notes. We will have a discussion about it in the class meeting next Mon-day. Oh, I nearly forget to remind you of the rules. Don’t take pictures of the cultural relics. But if you do want to take a picture, you can do that in front of the museum. And nobody is allowed to touch anything there, or else they will be fined. Have a nice weekend!

A confident smile is a happy smile. Have you ever had a stranger smile at you while you were out in public Maybe you were feeling down, but their genuine and friendly smiles literally made you turn your frown upside down. All thanks to that smiley person, your negative attitude suddenly subsided. It is hard to believe that such a small gesture can impact your mood so sim ply, but I would be lying if I said that I’ve never experienced this feeling. I’m sure you can relate.
With that being said, science can back this up. Where are these happy feelings coming from Well, when you smile at someone, you may feel like you’re experiencing temporary happiness.That is because endorphins (内啡肽) are released in the brain when you smile. Endorphins can be described as natural painkillers for the body, which also boost your self-esteem (自尊). Smiling is really a simple act of kindness, which can also make you feel better about yourself.
As an illustration, someone going in for a job interview with their heads held high, and smiles on their faces will have a better chance of scoring the job. Employers remark that a person who looks down when they speak to avoid showing their smiles during an interview, most likely won’t be hired, because it looks as though they are hiding something. However, that person with an inviting smile shows confidence. No matter what you look like, a smile is worth a thousand words and people can recognize that.
It gives me such a rewarding feeling helping children, teens, and adults to build their selfesteem through treatment. It’s all worth it seeing that spark of joy in my patient after the job is all said and done. I truly believe that a bright eyed smile has the capacity to allow you to connect with others, without uttering a sound.
24．What does the underlined word “subsided”mean in Paragraph 1
A．Appeared. B．Weakened. C．Increased. D．Smiled.
25．What’s the use of endorphins
A．Making people feel happy.
B．Making people act kindly.
C．Making brains work fast.
D．Curing some diseases.
26．Why is it hard for a person not showing a smile to get a job
A．He holds his head too high.
B．He looks down upon others.
C．He looks a little dishonest.
D．He is too confident.
27．What kind of work is the author likely to do
A．A teacher. B．A volunteer. C．A scientist. D．A doctor.
【答案】24．B 25．A 26．C 27．D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者以自己的亲身经历说明自信的微笑是幸福的微笑，我们应该多对别人微笑甚至大声地笑出来。
24．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Maybe you were feeling down, but their genuine and friendly smiles literally made you turn your frown upside down.(也许你情绪低落，但他们真诚友好的微笑真的会让你神采飞扬)”可知，多亏了那个微笑的人，你的消极态度突然平息了。由此可知，划线词的意思是“减弱”。故选B项。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段“That is because endorphins (内啡肽) are released in the brain when you smile. Endorphins can be described as natural painkillers for the body, which also boost your self-esteem (自尊). Smiling is really a simple act of kindness, which can also make you feel better about yourself.(这是因为当你微笑时，大脑会释放内啡肽。内啡肽可以被描述为身体的天然止痛药，它也可以增强你的自尊心。微笑真的是一种简单的善意行为，它也能让你感觉更好)”可知，内啡肽让人感到快乐。故选A项。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段“Employers remark that a person who looks down when they speak to avoid showing their smiles during an interview, most likely won’t be hired, because it looks as though they are hiding something.(雇主们说，在面试中，如果一个人在说话时为了不露出笑容而低头，那么他很可能不会被录用，因为这看起来好像他在隐瞒什么)”可推知，一个不微笑的人很难找到工作是因为他看起来有点不诚实。故选C项。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s all worth it seeing that spark of joy in my patient after the job is all said and done.(一切都是值得的，在手术结束后，看到我的病人身上闪烁着喜悦的火花)”可推知，作者是一名医生。故选D项。
C
Farmers and hunters are calling for an extension to the Victorian duck hunting season, saying certain species are doing great harm to crops and waterways and need to be controlled. This season runs from 8:00 am today and will end in 20 days, down from the usual 12 weeks, with a bag limit of five listed game ducks per day.
Wayne Shields grows leafy greens on the Mornington Peninsula and he said the decision to reduce the duck hunting season would take its toll on farmers. “The wood ducks are the ones causing all of the damage; the black ducks are no problem around here. The wood ducks come in at night and they just clean me out completely and they’ve done it a number of times over a number of years,” he said.
Mr. Shields and his wife, Natasha, run Peninsula Fresh Organics and he said there was nothing he could do to stop the invasion . “I nearly went broke a few years ago. Back then I was planting 10,000 lettuce (生菜) a week and they would quite happily eat 10,000 lettuce a week.” Due to the damage caused by the wood ducks, Mr. Shields said there should be a year-round open season on the wood ducks and farmers should be allowed to shoot birds.
Professor Richard Kingsford, Director of the Centre for Ecosystem Science at UNSW, said although the wood ducks ate crops, extending the duck season may not achieve what farmers wanted. He is calling on the government to invest more in research to address the threat certain species of waterbirds caused for some farmers, so other nonlethal (非致命的) ways to destroy the birds can be found.
28．What is the difference about duck hunting this year
A．Duck hunting is prohibited. B．The duck hunting season is shortened.
C．The duck hunting season is prolonged. D．Duck hunting is limited to a bag of ducks.
29．What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A．Farmers suffer a huge loss from wood ducks.
B．Farmers actually approve of keeping black ducks.
C．Wood ducks wake farmers up completely at night.
D．Farmers support the reduction of the duck hunting season.
30．What did Mr. Shields suggest concerning the wood ducks
A．Making more investment in wood ducks. B．Making shooting birds permitted for farmers.
C．Doing nothing to stop the invasion. D．Planting more lettuce on the farm.
31．What does Richard Kingsford think of the hunting season extension
A．Indifferent. B．Neutral. C．Favorable. D．Opposed.
【答案】28．B 29．A 30．B 31．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由于木鸭对农作物和水道造成了巨大危害，农民和猎人呼吁延长猎鸭季，而相关专家认为政府应加大对研究的投资，以解决这种威胁。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“This season runs from 8:00 am today and will end in 20 days, down from the usual 12 weeks, with a bag limit of five listed game ducks per day. (本季从今天早上8点开始，将在20天内结束，而不是通常的12周，每天最多只能携带5只在列表的野鸭)”可知，今年的猎鸭季被缩短了，不同于往年的时长。故选B项。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段中“The wood ducks are the ones causing all of the damage; the black ducks are no problem around here. The wood ducks come in at night and they just clean me out completely and they’ve done it a number of times over a number of years (木鸭是造成所有破坏的罪魁祸首；黑鸭在这里不是问题。木鸭在晚上进来，它们把我的东西都吃光了，在过去的几年里，它们已经做了很多次了)”可知，木鸭多次吃光农民种植的东西。由此可知，木鸭给农民带来了巨大的损失。故选A项。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Due to the damage caused by the wood ducks, Mr. Shields said there should be a year-round open season on the wood ducks and farmers should be allowed to shoot birds. (Shields先生说，由于木鸭造成的破坏，应该有一个全年的木鸭开放季，农民应该被允许射击鸟类)”可知，Shields先生认为农民应该被允许猎杀包括木鸭在内的鸟类。故选B项。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Professor Richard Kingsford, Director of the Centre for Ecosystem Science at UNSW, said although the wood ducks ate crops, extending the duck season may not achieve what farmers wanted. He is calling on the government to invest more in research to address the threat certain species of waterbirds caused for some farmers, so other nonlethal (非致命的) ways to destroy the birds can be found. (新南威尔士大学生态系统科学中心主任Richard Kingsford教授说，虽然木鸭吃庄稼，但延长猎鸭季可能不会达到农民的目的。他呼吁政府加大对研究的投入，以解决某些种类的水鸟对一些农民造成的威胁，这样就可以找到其他非致命的方法来消灭这些鸟类)”可知，Richard Kingsford教授认为延长猎鸭季无法解决农民现在遇到的问题，而应加大科研投资，以其他非致命的方法来解决威胁。由此可知，他对延长猎鸭季持反对的意见。故选D项。
D
Suppose you come across two doctors. One is handsome while the other looks plain. Who would you trust with your surgery Most people would probably want to get treated by the handsome one. And most people are likely to be wrong about that.
When you look at the sun, you sometimes see it clearly. But sometimes you’ll see it shining way bigger than its actual shape. That circle of light called a halo makes it look bigger. This effect, known as the halo effect, also happens when a person, product, or company shines like the sun. Then we don’t see them clearly and associate all sorts of unrelated qualities to them.
The halo effect was once studied by the psychologist Edward Thorndike, who asked flight commanders to evaluate their pilots in various distinct aspects such as physical appearance, intelligence, and leadership. He found that the pilots who got high scores for their physical appearance, also got rated high on intelligence and leadership skills-a link that seemed wrong. It appears that the commanders were unable to evaluate specific qualities independently of others. They thought of their pilots in broad terms, either “good” or “bad”, and allowed this general feeling to influence the specific qualities they credited to their pilots. Some pilots profited from their halo.
The halo effect also explains why some teachers give better-looking students higher grades. One study looked at the grades of 4, 500 pupils, who were sorted by volunteers into three groups: below- average, average, and above-average looking. The researchers then compared students’ grades between classes taken in conventional classrooms with those taken online where there was no face-to-face interaction. The researchers found that students who were rated as good-looking earned significantly lower grades in online courses compared to conventional classrooms.
Since the physical appearance of good-looking people seems to naturally make them also appear intelligent, strong, and trustworthy, here is one good rule. If you meet with an accident and have to choose between two equally qualified doctors, ignore their halo and choose the less handsome one. He might have worked twice as hard to gain the same reputation and is likely better at his job.
32．What is the purpose of the second paragraph
A．To explore a natural wonder.
B．To spread scientific knowledge.
C．To explain a psychological tendency.
D．To interpret social rules at the workplace.
33．How did the commanders tend to evaluate their pilots in Thorndike’s study
A．In a general way. B．With common sense.
C．From a specific aspect. D．By an objective criterion.
34．What does the 4500-pupil study find about better-looking students
A．They were fairly treated by their teachers.
B．They were less attentive in online courses.
C．They probably had natural learning abilities.
D．They were overvalued in conventional classes.
35．What can be learned about the halo effect
A．It relieves appearance anxiety.
B．It leads to inaccurate judgments.
C．It causes trust crisis among people.
D．It intensifies workplace competition.
【答案】32．C 33．A 34．D 35．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了光环效应的表现和影响。
32．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“When you look at the sun, you sometimes see it clearly. But sometimes you’ll see it shining way bigger than its actual shape. That circle of light called a halo makes it look bigger. This effect, known as the halo effect, also happens when a person, product, or company shines like the sun. Then we don’t see them clearly and associate all sorts of unrelated qualities to them. (当你看太阳的时候，你有时会看得很清楚。但有时你会看到它比实际形状大得多。被称为光晕的光圈使它看起来更大。这种效应被称为光环效应，当一个人、产品或公司像太阳一样发光时也会发生。然后我们就看不清它们，把各种不相关的品质和它们联系在一起。)”可知，第二段的目的是解释一种心理倾向，即光环效应。故选C。
33．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“He found that the pilots who got high scores for their physical appearance, also got rated high on intelligence and leadership skills-a link that seemed wrong. It appears that the commanders were unable to evaluate specific qualities independently of others. They thought of their pilots in broad terms, either “good” or “bad”, and allowed this general feeling to influence the specific qualities they credited to their pilots. Some pilots profited from their halo. (他发现，那些在外貌上得分高的飞行员，在智力和领导能力上也得分高——这种联系似乎是错误的。看来指挥官们无法独立于他人来评价具体的品质。他们从广义上看待飞行员，要么“好”，要么“坏”，并让这种总体感觉影响他们认为飞行员具有的具体品质。一些飞行员从他们的光环中获利。)”可知，指挥官们倾向于用总体感觉来评估他们的飞行员。故选A。
34．细节理解题。由文章第四段中“The researchers found that students who were rated as good-looking earned significantly lower grades in online courses compared to conventional classrooms. (研究人员发现，与传统课堂相比，被评为长得好看的学生在网络课程上的成绩明显较低。)”可知，长相更好的学生在传统课堂被高估了。故选D。
35．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“This effect, known as the halo effect, also happens when a person, product, or company shines like the sun. Then we don’t see them clearly and associate all sorts of unrelated qualities to them. (这种效应被称为光环效应，当一个人、产品或公司像太阳一样发光时也会发生。然后我们就看不清它们，把各种不相关的品质和它们联系在一起。)”和第四段中“The researchers found that students who were rated as good-looking earned significantly lower grades in online courses compared to conventional classrooms. (研究人员发现，与传统课堂相比，被评为长得好看的学生在网络课程上的成绩明显较低。)”可知，光环效应会导致不准确的判断。故选B。

Yoga has a well-deserved reputation for helping improve balance and flexibility and for inducing calm and relaxation. 36 While you might not burn as many calories by practicing yoga as you would by running or doing some other high-intensity activities, yoga can still raise your heart rate and help build muscle. Here’s more about how yoga is a complete body and mind workout.
·Reduce stress and reduce pounds. Yoga helps deal with stress. 37 Yoga has an impact on the body’s stress response and reduces the production of chemicals linked to weight gain, such as cortisol (皮质醇), a stress hormone.
·Move well and eat well. 38 Participants involved in yoga practice realize that they tend to notice not only the amount of food they eat, but also what type of foods they eat and the impact of eating those foods. They become aware of the effect of certain foods on their bodies during their yoga practice.
· 39 Doing yoga long term not only can help people lose weight but also can strengthen cognitive skills to help keep it off. A multiyear study examines the possibility of yoga maintaining weight loss. Its findings suggest that yoga may help to improve long-term weight loss outcomes via improvements in distress tolerance, self-compassion and a more positive mood.
Yoga is a very reasonable form of exercise, but you have to choose the right type. A 2021 study found no difference in weight loss totals for participants practicing a gentle, restorative yoga versus a more vigorous type of yoga. 40 Everybody can benefit from a yoga practice.
A．Make weight loss last.
B．Learn about cognitive skills.
C．Studies show that high levels of cortisol can lead to an increase in fat.
D．Several studies have confirmed that doing yoga does raise cortisol levels.
E．Yoga helps break old dietary habits and related unconscious patterns of behavior.
F．Actually, the best yoga is the practice that fits for you — the one you’ll commit to.
G．But as for weight loss, many people assume other types of exercise will benefit more.
【答案】36．G 37．C 38．E 39．A 40．F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了瑜伽的作用和如何选择适合自己的瑜伽类型。
36．上文“Yoga has a well-deserved reputation for helping improve balance and flexibility and for inducing calm and relaxation.(瑜伽在帮助改善平衡和灵活性、诱导平静和放松方面享有实至名归的声誉)”介绍了瑜伽的好处，但下文“While you might not burn as many calories by practicing yoga as you would by running or doing some other high-intensity activities (虽然练瑜伽燃烧的卡路里可能不如跑步或其他高强度运动消耗的卡路里多)”指出瑜伽这项运动的不足，上下文语意之间有转折关系。G项“But as for weight loss, many people assume other types of exercise will benefit more. (但说到减肥，很多人认为其他类型的运动更有益)”起到承上启下的作用，与上文构成转折关系，引出下文瑜伽与其它运动的比对，句中“other types of exercise”即下文中“ running or doing some other high-intensity activities”。上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
37．下文“Yoga has an impact on the body’s stress response and reduces the production of chemicals linked to weight gain, such as cortisol (皮质醇), a stress hormone.(瑜伽对身体的压力反应有影响，并减少与体重增加有关的化学物质的产生，如皮质醇，一种压力激素)”介绍瑜伽可以减少与体重增加有关的化学物质皮质醇，C项“Studies show that high levels of cortisol can lead to an increase in fat. (研究表明高水平的皮质醇会导致脂肪的增加)”说明了皮质醇与体重增加的关系，两个句子话题一致，且照应小标题中的主题“reduce pounds”。故选C项。
38．下文“Participants involved in yoga practice realize that they tend to notice not only the amount of food they eat, but also what type of foods they eat and the impact of eating those foods. They become aware of the effect of certain foods on their bodies during their yoga practice.(参与瑜伽练习的人意识到，他们往往不仅注意他们吃了多少食物，而且还注意他们吃了什么类型的食物以及吃这些食物的影响。他们在瑜伽练习中意识到某些食物对他们身体的影响)”说明瑜伽会帮助瑜伽练习者留意到自己的饮食习惯和相关行为模式，进而帮助他们作出调整与改变，E项“Yoga helps break old dietary habits and related unconscious patterns of behavior.(瑜伽有助于打破旧的饮食习惯和相关的无意识行为模式)”是下文内容概括。故选E项。
39．设空处是段首小标题，根据下文“Doing yoga long term not only can help people lose weight but also can strengthen cognitive skills to help keep it off. A multiyear study examines the possibility of yoga maintaining weight loss. Its findings suggest that yoga may help to improve long-term weight loss outcomes via improvements in distress tolerance, self-compassion and a more positive mood.(长期做瑜伽不仅可以帮助人们减肥，还可以增强认知能力，帮助人们保持体重。一项多年的研究调查了瑜伽保持减肥的可能性。研究结果表明，瑜伽可以通过提高对痛苦的耐受力、自我同情和更积极的情绪来帮助改善长期的减肥效果)”可知，本段主要讲瑜伽不但能帮助人们减肥，还能保持减肥效果。A项“Make weight loss last.(让减肥持续下去)”是最佳标题。故选A项。
40．上文“Yoga is a very reasonable form of exercise, but you have to choose the right type.(瑜伽是一种非常合理的运动形式，但你必须选择正确的类型)”提出练习瑜伽要选择类型，F项“Actually, the best yoga is the practice that fits for you — the one you’ll commit to.(事实上，最好的瑜伽是适合你的练习，是你愿意坚持的练习)”给出选择的标准：适合你的练习，你愿意坚持的练习，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。

第二节(共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分)
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。
Oxford University Press (OUP), publisher of the Oxford English Dictionary, named “rizz” the word of the year for 2023.
“Rizz 56 (choose) by the language experts at OUP as an interesting example of how language can be formed, shaped, and shared within communities, before 57 (pick) up more widely,” OUP said in a press release. “It speaks to how younger generations create spaces — online or in person — 58 they own and define the language they use.”
OUP said it’s likely that more words from social media and internet culture will be used in everyday language over time.
Words and phrases 59 (share) via social media and catching 60 so quickly that they are surpassing previous linguistic trends and are becoming mainstream much quicker.
“The spike(猛增) in usage data for rizz goes to prove that words and phrases that evolve from internet culture are 61 (increasing) becoming part of day-to-day vernacular (方言) and will continue to shape language 62 (trend) in the future,” Oxford Languages President Casper Grathwohl said in a statement.
OUP said the word is believed to be 63 shortened form of the word charisma, taken from the middle part of the word. Similar examples include refrigerator 64 (become) fridge and influenza, commonly called flu.
Rizz can also be used as a verb. To “rizz up” means to attract, seduce (引诱) 65 chat up a person, OUP said.
【答案】
56．was chosen 57．being picked 58．where 59．are being shared 60．on 61．increasingly 62．trends 63．a 64．becoming 65．or
【导语】这是一篇说明文。牛津英语词典的出版商牛津大学出版社（OUP）将“rizz”评为2023年年度词汇。文章主要介绍了这一词背后的意义和反应出的社会现象。
56．考查时态语态。句意：OUP在一份新闻稿中说：“OUP的语言专家选择Rizz作为一个有趣的例子，说明语言是如何在社区内形成、塑造和共享的，然后才被更广泛地使用。”主语与谓语构成被动关系，且结合语境可知发生在过去用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为Rizz，谓语用单数。故填was chosen。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：OUP在一份新闻稿中说：“OUP的语言专家选择Rizz作为一个有趣的例子，说明语言是如何在社区内形成、塑造和共享的，然后才被更广泛地使用。”作介词的宾语，应用动名词形式，且pick与language构成被动关系，应用being done形式。故填being picked。
58．考查定语从句。句意：“它说明了年轻一代是如何创造空间的——无论是在网上还是在现实生活中——他们拥有并定义自己使用的语言。”定语从句修饰先行词spaces，在从句作地点状语，故填where。
59．考查时态语态。句意：单词和短语通过社交媒体被分享，并迅速流行起来，超越了以前的语言趋势，并更快地成为主流。主语与谓语构成被动关系，根据后文they are surpassing可知为现在进行时的被动语态，主语为Words and phrases，谓语用复数。故填are being shared。
60．考查介词。句意：单词和短语通过社交媒体被分享，并迅速流行起来，超越了以前的语言趋势，并更快地成为主流。表示“流行起来”短语为catch on。故填on。
61．考查副词。句意：牛津语言协会主席卡斯珀·格拉斯沃在一份声明中说：“Rizz使用数据的激增证明，从网络文化演变而来的词汇和短语正日益成为日常用语的一部分，并将继续影响未来的语言趋势。”修饰动词become应用副词increasingly，故填increasingly。
62．考查名词的数。句意：牛津语言协会主席卡斯珀·格拉斯沃在一份声明中说：“Rizz使用数据的激增证明，从网络文化演变而来的词汇和短语正日益成为日常用语的一部分，并将继续影响未来的语言趋势。”trend为可数名词，前文没有冠词表示数量大于一应用复数形式。故填trends。
63．考查冠词。句意：牛津大学表示，这个词被认为是“魅力（charisma）”一词的缩写形式，取自这个词的中间部分。form为可数名词，此处为泛指，且shortened是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
64．考查非谓语动词。句意：类似的例子包括变成fridge的refrigerator和通常被称为flu的influenza。分析句子结构可知refrigerator与become为主动关系，故用现在分词作定语。故填becoming。
65．考查连词。句意：牛津大学表示，“rizz up”的意思是吸引、引诱或搭讪某人。此处表示选择关系，应用连词or。故填or。

67．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 was a typical Monday morning for Jenny, a diligent high school senior. The sound of her alarm clock woke her up, a rude awakening from her sweet dreams. She unwillingly opened her eyes, knowing what waited for her-another 5 long days at school.
Dragging herself out of bed, Jenny went through her usual morning routine. She hurriedly got dressed, grabbed her backpack, and rushed to the kitchen for breakfast. Her mother had prepared a nutritious meal, but Jenny had no appetite. She was too occupied with thoughts of an upcoming exam in her most challenging subject, mathematics.
As Jenny walked to school, her mind wandered back to the countless hours she had spent studying and practicing equations (方程式). She had put in lots of effort, hoping to improve her grades. However, despite her dedication, she was struggling to achieve the desired results. Doubts started crawling in, and anxiety stayed in her mind like dark clouds.
As students settled into their seats, Mr. Johnson, their math teacher, announced that the exam would take place that afternoon. Jenny started to feel afraid. She suddenly realized that she had forgotten her calculator at home, an essential tool for the exam. Panic turned into hopelessness, as she knew that borrowing one during the test would be strictly prohibited.
Jenny’s friends, Emma and David, noticed her worry and approached her after class. They offered their help. Emma suggested that Jenny be honest to Mr. Johnson and explain her situation. David, however, had a different plan. He proposed sneaking (偷偷给) his calculator to her during the exam, risking punishment for cheating.

【答案】Jenny’s heart sank. She was torn between honesty and temptation of an easy solution. Sticking to her principles, she decided to follow Emma’s advice.

An hour passed, and the atmosphere in the exam room grew tense. Finally, the bell rang, signaling the end of the exam. Jenny handed her test paper to Mr. Johnson, hopeful yet unsure of her performance. Days of anxious waiting followed, but in the end Jenny received an unexpected grade--an A. jenny learned a valuable lesson that success shouldn’t come at the cost of one’s principles. With renewed faith in her abilities, Jenny started her journey towards achieving he goals, knowing that hard work would lead her towards success.
