Emest Owusu was 13 in 1980 when he was given the opportunity to appear in the audience of a BBC show, and ask Thatcher how she felt about being called the Iron Lady. This encounter re-emerged in a BBC’s programme recently.
At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.
Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a greying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black captain of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling. Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”
Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady. “I think it’s rather a praise, don’t you ” she said, “Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.” Owusu recalls the moment, “I just remember her eye contact. She was answering me, not the camera. She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.”
After the show was broadcast, Owusu said he became “a little hero in Brixton for a good three months”. Owusu added, “It all gave me extra confidence. Doors might not have opened so quickly. It was one of those key moments to make you do things maybe you wouldn’t otherwise have done.”
24．What do we know about Owusu when he was 13
A．He met with Thatcher twice.
B．He joined a famous golf club.
C．He hosted a BBC’s programme.
D．He lived at the bottom of society.
25．What do the underlined words “sliding-door moment” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Turning point. B．Important decision.
C．Social status. D．Remarkable achievement.
26．Based on the text, what made a big difference to Owusu
A．Others’ treating him equally at work.
B．Others’ voting him a hero in Brixton.
C．Thatcher’s efforts to preserve his dignity.
D．Thatcher’s faith in the necessity of toughness.
27．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．The Art of Dialogue B．The Power of Confidence
C．A Life-changing Meeting D．A Status-improving Tale
C
When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln,Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people,struggling in a typical existence
There is an important element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. This element is defined as EA (experiential appreciation) by Joshua Hicks, a psychological professor at Texas A &M University.
Recently, he and his research team set out to figure out whether EA was related to a person’s sense of meaning in a series of studies that involved more than 3,000 participants. At an initial test, researchers had participants rate their agreement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. They found people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful.
Researchers then conducted a series of experiments, in which they gave participants specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, etc. In one case, participants who watched an awe-inspiring video reported having a greater sense of EA and meaning in life, compared with those who watched more neutral videos. After reflecting on the results collected from the participants, researchers confirmed their original theory.
But applying that insight can be difficult.Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. We are on the go, and we attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure.
This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life.
28．Why are the butterfly and the scenery on a hill mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To introduce a concept.
B．To attract readers’ interest.
C．To demonstrate the beauty of nature.
D．To show the necessity of protecting nature.
29．How did the researchers conduct the study
A．By designing different strategies to reduce stress
B．By studying previous research data.
C．By shooting videos starring the participants.
D．By analyzing the response from the participants.
30．Who tends to find life more meaningful according to the text
A．A person who always gets her life well-organized.
B．A person who often hears motivating speeches.
C．A person who leads a fast-paced life
D．A person who always expects future results.
31．What life philosophy does the author show in the last paragraph
A．No pains, no gains.
B．Those who believe in their ability can do anything.
C．Live your life one day at a time.
D．Being on sea, sail; being on land, settle.
D
Plastic is everywhere, from the Arctic ice to vital organs in the human body. In fact, previous estimates suggest that the average person swallows a credit card-worth of microscopic plastic particles(颗粒) every week. But new research shows that this could actually be an understatement.
Microplastics are plastics smaller than 5 millimeters, found in industrial waste, beauty products, and formed during the degradation of larger plastic pieces. Over time, they break down into even smaller nanoplastics. These tiny particles can pass through our intestines and lungs into our bloodstreams, reaching vital organs like the heart and brain.
While the idea of eating plastic is unsettling in itself, the major concern here is that these plastic particles contain chemicals that can interrupt our body’s natural release of hormones, potentially increasing our risk of reproductive disorders and certain cancers. They can also carry toxins(毒素) on their surface like heavy metals.
In the past, researchers have shown bottled water can contain tens of thousands of identifiable plastic fragments in a single container. However, until recently, only the larger microplastics were detectable with available measuring tools, leaving the area of nanoplastics largely a mystery.
Using Raman microscopy (显微镜学), capable of detecting particles down to the size of a flu virus, the team measured an average of 240, 000 particles of plastic per liter of bottled water, 90 percent of which were nanoplastics, a revelation 10 to 100 times larger than previous estimates.
These plastics likely originate from the bottle material, filters used to “purify” the water, and the source water itself. “It is not totally unexpected to find so much of this stuff, ” the study’s lead author, Columbia graduate student Naixin Qian, said in a statement. His team hopes to expand their research into tap water and other water sources to better inform our exposure to these potentially dangerous particles. “The idea is that the smaller things get, the more of them I reveal, ” he added.
32．What is the primary focus of the new research
A．The presence of plastic particles. B．The use of plastic in everyday products.
C．The detection methods for microplastics. D．The potential risks of nanoplastics to human.
33．What is the advantage of Raman microscopy
A．Finding the source of plastic particles. B．Helping to cure the deadly flu virus.
C．Detecting the smaller plastic particles. D．Improving the quality of bottled water.
34．Why will the team expand their research into tap water
A．To focus on areas with higher plastic pollution.
B．To be aware of the dangerous particles in daily life.
C．To further measure the types of particles in tap water.
D．To detect the smaller plastic particles in industrial areas.
35．What is Qian’s attitude towards his research
A．Skeptical. B．Objective. C．Conservative. D．Positive.

My parents were always against me owning my own pet, afraid of the mess it would make or that I would quickly lose interest in taking care of it, but we made a compromise: I could volunteer at a local pet shelter on the weekends to test my sense of responsibility and dedication. That was how I first came to volunteer at the Avondale pet shelter and—more importantly—where I met my future best friend, Chocolate.
One hot August afternoon, my boss Charlie told me that they were bringing in a young black Labrador Retriever and that I’d be its primary caretaker. An hour after our conversation and in came Chocolate—a beautiful dog with shining brown fur and amazing blue eyes. At about 3 months old, I expected him to be a lot more energetic and playful, but he immediately backed and lay down at the back of his pen (围栏).
I asked Charlie what was the matter with him. He replied that Chocolate had a genetic problem which caused him to be born with a short tail, leading potential owners to think there was something wrong with him; so the breeder felt that they had no choice but to give up the puppy to the shelter.
He was overlooked and underappreciated. I felt very angry at the thought that an otherwise healthy dog could be thrown away so easily. At the same time, I felt a deep sympathy for this dog who had been cheated out of the love and attention he deserved. It was at this moment that I resolved to give Chocolate as much love and attention as I could while working as a volunteer.
Although Chocolate was reluctant and shy at first. eventually through enough treats and play he slowly came around and warmed up to me. Soon enough, whenever I came around his pen to let him out for his turn of walks and play, Chocolate was always excited and jumping with joy.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

As time passed by, the connection between Chocolate and I grew stronger and stronger.

One day, Charlie said Chocolate must find a home soon or he would be removed.

17．What does the man do
A．He’s a designer. B．He’s a photographer. C．He’s a teacher.
【答案】14．A 15．A 16．C 17．A
【原文】W: Ronald, it is lovely that you agreed to come and do this for me.
M: Don’t worry about it one bit. You’ll do great. This little interview is nothing, compared to setting up this beautiful museum.
W: Thank you. Who would you say is your biggest hero
M: Well, you already know the answer to that, Kristal. My adviser was Ansel Adams, the great nature photographer.
W: And where did you meet Ansel
M: Well, it’s an odd story actually. I was with my friends in the summer and they wanted to go fishing that day. I told them I would rather walk through the woods, so I hiked a mountain to relax alone, and ran into Ansel at the top.
W: Let me guess. He was taking pictures of the rocks
M: Almost. He was taking pictures of a special cloud. Immediately, he began telling me everything a person could know about clouds. He was a wealth of information. The amount of knowledge that Ansel had was important to me. However, it was the pure joy and love for teaching and appreciating photography that got me.
W: And now you own your own studio, you design clothing and will soon have a permanent section here at the modern museum of art and technology.

【原文】
Good morning everyone. As you make a list of New Year’s resolutions, you will want to set yourself up for success. If healthy eating is one of your New Year’s resolutions, maybe you should try the Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet was rated as the best overall diet of 2021. This is the fourth year in a row the diet has been ranked top. The Mediterranean diet is based on the eating habits in areas of southern Italy and parts of Greece, Spain and Morocco. It features plant-based foods like fruits and vegetables, whole grains and seeds, and has a heavy emphasis on good quality olive oil. That means the diet is rich in flavor but low in fat. In addition to helping people keep weight off, experts believe that the diet can reduce the risks of heart disease and high blood pressure. “Eating together” is part of the cultural identity of communities throughout the Mediterranean. In Mediterranean areas, it is a custom to eat at big tables, surrounded by family and friends. A meal can often last several hours. ”It’s more than a diet, it’s a healthy lifestyle,” said Rahaf Al Bochi, who teaches the Mediterranean diet to her clients.

Emest Owusu was 13 in 1980 when he was given the opportunity to appear in the audience of a BBC show, and ask Thatcher how she felt about being called the Iron Lady. This encounter re-emerged in a BBC’s programme recently.
At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.
Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a greying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black captain of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling. Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”
Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady. “I think it’s rather a praise, don’t you ” she said, “Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.” Owusu recalls the moment, “I just remember her eye contact. She was answering me, not the camera. She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.”
After the show was broadcast, Owusu said he became “a little hero in Brixton for a good three months”. Owusu added, “It all gave me extra confidence. Doors might not have opened so quickly. It was one of those key moments to make you do things maybe you wouldn’t otherwise have done.”
24．What do we know about Owusu when he was 13
A．He met with Thatcher twice.
B．He joined a famous golf club.
C．He hosted a BBC’s programme.
D．He lived at the bottom of society.
25．What do the underlined words “sliding-door moment” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Turning point. B．Important decision.
C．Social status. D．Remarkable achievement.
26．Based on the text, what made a big difference to Owusu
A．Others’ treating him equally at work.
B．Others’ voting him a hero in Brixton.
C．Thatcher’s efforts to preserve his dignity.
D．Thatcher’s faith in the necessity of toughness.
27．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．The Art of Dialogue B．The Power of Confidence
C．A Life-changing Meeting D．A Status-improving Tale
【答案】24．D 25．A 26．D 27．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是Emest Owusu受到Thatcher夫人的影响，从而改变了自己的人生。
24．推理判断题。根据第二段“At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.(在他们相遇的时候，Owusu在学校吃免费午餐，住在伦敦南部布里克斯顿的一处公共住宅里，他和妹妹由母亲罗斯抚养，她是一名苦苦挣扎的美发师。)”可知，Owusu13岁时生活在社会的底层。故选D。
25．词句猜测题。根据第三段“To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed(直到今天，它仍然有影响。我的信心改变了)”可知，从那一刻Owusu的信心改变了，说明那是一个转折点，sliding-door moment的意思是“转折点”，和Turning point意思相近，故选A。
26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.(因为人们经常对我说，如果你在工作中，你必须温柔、温暖、人性化，但你也必须有一点钢铁的感觉。)”和“She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.(她对这个问题表示欢迎，说在这个世界上你必须要坚定。这让我印象深刻。)”可知，Thatcher坚信强硬的必要性使Owusu发生了巨大的变化。故选D。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”(在俱乐部里，Owusu将自己社会地位的提升描述为“撒切尔之旅”。他说，首先要问这位女士本人。“直到今天，它仍然有影响，我的信心从那一刻起就改变了。她身上的某种东西与我联系在一起。”)”可知，本文主要讲的是Emest Owusu受到Thatcher夫人的影响，从而改变了自己的人生，因此最恰当的标题是C选项“A Life-changing Meeting(改变人生的会面)”。故选C。
C
When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln,Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people,struggling in a typical existence
There is an important element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. This element is defined as EA (experiential appreciation) by Joshua Hicks, a psychological professor at Texas A &M University.
Recently, he and his research team set out to figure out whether EA was related to a person’s sense of meaning in a series of studies that involved more than 3,000 participants. At an initial test, researchers had participants rate their agreement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. They found people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful.
Researchers then conducted a series of experiments, in which they gave participants specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, etc. In one case, participants who watched an awe-inspiring video reported having a greater sense of EA and meaning in life, compared with those who watched more neutral videos. After reflecting on the results collected from the participants, researchers confirmed their original theory.
But applying that insight can be difficult.Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. We are on the go, and we attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure.
This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life.
28．Why are the butterfly and the scenery on a hill mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To introduce a concept.
B．To attract readers’ interest.
C．To demonstrate the beauty of nature.
D．To show the necessity of protecting nature.
29．How did the researchers conduct the study
A．By designing different strategies to reduce stress
B．By studying previous research data.
C．By shooting videos starring the participants.
D．By analyzing the response from the participants.
30．Who tends to find life more meaningful according to the text
A．A person who always gets her life well-organized.
B．A person who often hears motivating speeches.
C．A person who leads a fast-paced life
D．A person who always expects future results.
31．What life philosophy does the author show in the last paragraph
A．No pains, no gains.
B．Those who believe in their ability can do anything.
C．Live your life one day at a time.
D．Being on sea, sail; being on land, settle.
【答案】28．A 29．D 30．B 31．C
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。研究表明，能欣赏生活中的美丽的人更能发现生活的意义，而我们现代、快节奏、以项目为导向的生活方式让我们忽略当下正在发生的事情，因此，我们应当活在当下。
28．推理判断题。根据文章第一段提出问题“普通人的生命对比有伟大贡献的人是否有意义？”及第二段“Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. This element is defined as EA(experiential appreciation)by Joshua Hicks, a psychological professor at Texas A &M University.(想想你在漫长的冬天后停下来欣赏的第一只蝴蝶，或者想象一次徒步旅行后山顶上的风景。有时候，生活带给我们美好的瞬间。当人们乐于欣赏这样的经历时，这些时刻可能会增强他们对生活的看法。这个元素被德克萨斯农工大学的心理学教授Joshua Hicks定义为EA（体验性欣赏）)”可知，文章第二段通过引出在山上欣赏美丽的蝴蝶和美景的例子来引入一个概念——体验性欣赏。故选A。
29．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“At an initial test, researchers had participants rate their agreement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress.(在最初的测试中，研究人员让参与者评估他们对缓解压力的不同应对策略的认同程度)”和第四段中“Researchers then conducted a series of experiments,in which they gave participants specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, etc.(研究人员随后进行了一系列实验，在实验中，他们给参与者特定的任务，并再次要求他们报告他们对与目的相关的陈述的认同程度，等等)”以及“After reflecting on the results collected from the participants, researchers confirmed their original theory.(在反思了从参与者那里收集到的结果后，研究人员证实了他们最初的理论)”可知，研究者通过分析参与者的不同反应来进行研究。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“In one case, participants who watched an awe-inspiring video reported having a greater sense of EA and meaning in life, compared with those who watched more neutral videos.(在一个案例中，观看了令人敬畏的视频的参与者报告说，与观看更多中性视频的参与者相比，他们对EA和生活意义的感觉更强)”可推知，经常听鼓舞人心的演讲的人更能找到生活的意义。故选B。
31．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life.(这种对未来结果的关注使得我们很容易忽略当下正在发生的事情。然而，生活就发生在当下。我们应该慢下来，让生活给我们惊喜，拥抱日常生活中的意义)”可知，作者在最后一段告诉我们，应该生活在当下。故选C。
D
Plastic is everywhere, from the Arctic ice to vital organs in the human body. In fact, previous estimates suggest that the average person swallows a credit card-worth of microscopic plastic particles(颗粒) every week. But new research shows that this could actually be an understatement.
Microplastics are plastics smaller than 5 millimeters, found in industrial waste, beauty products, and formed during the degradation of larger plastic pieces. Over time, they break down into even smaller nanoplastics. These tiny particles can pass through our intestines and lungs into our bloodstreams, reaching vital organs like the heart and brain.
While the idea of eating plastic is unsettling in itself, the major concern here is that these plastic particles contain chemicals that can interrupt our body’s natural release of hormones, potentially increasing our risk of reproductive disorders and certain cancers. They can also carry toxins(毒素) on their surface like heavy metals.
In the past, researchers have shown bottled water can contain tens of thousands of identifiable plastic fragments in a single container. However, until recently, only the larger microplastics were detectable with available measuring tools, leaving the area of nanoplastics largely a mystery.
Using Raman microscopy (显微镜学), capable of detecting particles down to the size of a flu virus, the team measured an average of 240, 000 particles of plastic per liter of bottled water, 90 percent of which were nanoplastics, a revelation 10 to 100 times larger than previous estimates.
These plastics likely originate from the bottle material, filters used to “purify” the water, and the source water itself. “It is not totally unexpected to find so much of this stuff, ” the study’s lead author, Columbia graduate student Naixin Qian, said in a statement. His team hopes to expand their research into tap water and other water sources to better inform our exposure to these potentially dangerous particles. “The idea is that the smaller things get, the more of them I reveal, ” he added.
32．What is the primary focus of the new research
A．The presence of plastic particles. B．The use of plastic in everyday products.
C．The detection methods for microplastics. D．The potential risks of nanoplastics to human.
33．What is the advantage of Raman microscopy
A．Finding the source of plastic particles. B．Helping to cure the deadly flu virus.
C．Detecting the smaller plastic particles. D．Improving the quality of bottled water.
34．Why will the team expand their research into tap water
A．To focus on areas with higher plastic pollution.
B．To be aware of the dangerous particles in daily life.
C．To further measure the types of particles in tap water.
D．To detect the smaller plastic particles in industrial areas.
35．What is Qian’s attitude towards his research
A．Skeptical. B．Objective. C．Conservative. D．Positive.
【答案】32．D 33．C 34．B 35．D
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了一项新的研究揭示微塑料和纳米塑料对人体健康的潜在影响。
32．细节理解题。根据第三段“While the idea of eating plastic is unsettling in itself, the major concern here is that these plastic particles contain chemicals that can interrupt our body’s natural release of hormones, potentially increasing our risk of reproductive disorders and certain cancers. They can also carry toxins(毒素) on their surface like heavy metals.( 虽然吃塑料的想法本身就令人不安，但主要的担忧是，这些塑料颗粒含有的化学物质会中断我们身体自然释放的激素，可能会增加我们患生殖障碍和某些癌症的风险。它们的表面也会携带重金属等毒素。)” 可知，新研究的焦点是纳米塑料对人体可能造成的风险。故选D。
33．细节理解题。根据第五段“Using Raman microscopy (显微镜学), capable of detecting particles down to the size of a flu virus, the team measured an average of 240, 000 particles of plastic per liter of bottled water, 90 percent of which were nanoplastics, a revelation 10 to 100 times larger than previous estimates.(利用拉曼显微镜，能够检测到流感病毒大小的颗粒，研究小组测量到每升瓶装水中平均有24万个塑料颗粒，其中90%是纳米塑料，比之前估计的要大10到100倍。)”可知，拉曼显微镜学的优势是能够检测到非常小的塑料颗粒。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“His team hopes to expand their research into tap water and other water sources to better inform our exposure to these potentially dangerous particles.(他的团队希望将他们的研究扩展到自来水和其他水源，以更好地了解我们接触这些潜在危险颗粒的情况。)”可以推断出，研究小组将研究扩展到自来水等其他水源是为了让人们意识到在日常生活中面临的颗粒风险。故选B。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Qian的话 “It is not totally unexpected to find so much of this stuff(发现这么多这种东西并不完全出乎意料) ” 及 “The idea is that the smaller things get, the more of them I reveal(我的想法是，东西越小，我揭示的东西就越多)” 可知他并不对发现大量微塑料感到完全意外，并且研究对象越小，揭示的就会越多，因此可以推断出Qian对他的研究持积极态度。故选D。

Thinking about adopting a healthy lifestyle Congratulations! There are so many reasons for adopting a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips to help you get started with your new habits.
Before you begin, ask yourself some questions, what are your reasons for thinking about a healthier lifestyle 36 Your why should reflect your values and what’s important to you. Knowing your specific why will help you to not just get started, but will help keep you focused and motivated as it guides your journey.
Focus on behaviors, not results. 37 But switching your focus from outcomes to the new habits you’re creating and actions you’re taking is more beneficial. It’s actually some daily health-promoting behaviors that will create change and can lead to the health outcomes you desire.
38 Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day! And things like your eating habits, cooking skills, athletic abilities, and more won’t change overnight. This is also why you don’t need a long list telling you everything you need to stop doing. You just need to take the first step.
Remember it’s not all or nothing. A healthy lifestyle is never all or nothing. 39 So focus on eating foods and creating habits that make you feel good.
Can you do it forever One of the most important things to ask yourself when building healthy habits is, “Can you do it for life ” Sure, you could probably stick to a diet for a short period, but can you see yourself doing that forever 40

38．本句位于句首，是段落的主题句。根据后文的内容“ Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day! And things like your eating habits, cooking skills, athletic abilities, and more won’t change overnight.(记住罗马不是一天建成的!你的饮食习惯、烹饪技巧、运动能力等等都不会在一夜之间改变)”可知，此处强调罗马不是一夜建成的，习惯是要慢慢改变。A选项“Start small and take steady steps.(从小处开始，循序渐进)”概括本段主要内容，符合段旨。故选A。
39．根据前文“A healthy lifestyle is never all or nothing.(健康的生活方式从来都不是要么全做要么根本不做)”推知，空处应陈述真正的健康生活应该是怎样的。G选项“It’s about creating a healthy relationship with food and your body.(这是关于在食物和你的身体之间建立健康的关系)”承接前文，指出健康的生活方式是什么——关于在食物和你的身体之间建立健康的关系。故选G。
40．根据前文“Can you do it forever One of the most important things to ask yourself when building healthy habits is, “Can you do it for life ” Sure, you could probably stick to a diet for a short period, but can you see yourself doing that forever ( 你能永远这样做吗？当你养成健康的习惯时，你要问自己的一个最重要的问题是：“你能坚持一辈子吗？”当然，你可能会在短时间内坚持节食，但你能看到自己永远这样做吗？)”可知，此处强调人们在养成健康的生活方式时要问问自己这样做是否能够坚持一辈子。F选项“If not, remember: temporary methods are equal to temporary results.(如果没有，请记住：临时方法产生临时结果。)”承接前文，指出如果不能坚持一辈子，那么临时的方法只能产生临时的结果，符合语境。故选F。

第二节（满分25分）
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。
My parents were always against me owning my own pet, afraid of the mess it would make or that I would quickly lose interest in taking care of it, but we made a compromise: I could volunteer at a local pet shelter on the weekends to test my sense of responsibility and dedication. That was how I first came to volunteer at the Avondale pet shelter and—more importantly—where I met my future best friend, Chocolate.
One hot August afternoon, my boss Charlie told me that they were bringing in a young black Labrador Retriever and that I’d be its primary caretaker. An hour after our conversation and in came Chocolate—a beautiful dog with shining brown fur and amazing blue eyes. At about 3 months old, I expected him to be a lot more energetic and playful, but he immediately backed and lay down at the back of his pen (围栏).
I asked Charlie what was the matter with him. He replied that Chocolate had a genetic problem which caused him to be born with a short tail, leading potential owners to think there was something wrong with him; so the breeder felt that they had no choice but to give up the puppy to the shelter.
He was overlooked and underappreciated. I felt very angry at the thought that an otherwise healthy dog could be thrown away so easily. At the same time, I felt a deep sympathy for this dog who had been cheated out of the love and attention he deserved. It was at this moment that I resolved to give Chocolate as much love and attention as I could while working as a volunteer.
Although Chocolate was reluctant and shy at first. eventually through enough treats and play he slowly came around and warmed up to me. Soon enough, whenever I came around his pen to let him out for his turn of walks and play, Chocolate was always excited and jumping with joy.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
As time passed by, the connection between Chocolate and I grew stronger and stronger.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
One day, Charlie said Chocolate must find a home soon or he would be removed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As time passed by, the connection between Chocolate and I grew stronger and stronger. The grassland of the shelter often witnessed heartwarming and harmonious scenes where a girl and a dog chased after each other, or curdled together, leisurely enjoying sunshine’s caress. With my company and care, Chocolate’s previous shyness and timidity gave way to curiosity and enthusiasm. So attached was he to me that he even bit my trousers to stop my pace when I had to head home. Magically, whenever I approached him, my heart would brim with warmth and affection, a sense of responsibility to protect him rising deep down. Perceiving him as my best friend, I resolved to attend to him well and sheltered him from any potential harm.
One day, Charlie said Chocolate must find a home soon or he would be removed. The news struck me like a bolt from the blue, making my heart sink with deep concern that he would be ruthlessly abandoned again. However, it suddenly struck me that I could be Chocolate’s owner. Filled with eagerness and anticipation, I pleaded with my parents to allow me to keep Chocolate. Beyond my wildest dreams, they should approve of my request, telling me “Honey, your unconditional love and continuous devotion to Chocolate eventually made us change our original idea.” Now, it is a blessing that Chocolate has become my family member and it is he that awakens me to the realization that nothing can be a greater delight than dedicating love and reaping trust in reward.
