80%的早产儿心脏病是可以预防的。一些策略，如锻炼和控制体重，是众所周知的。)”提到一些特定的生
活方式能预防早产儿心脏病，下文““A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big
impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist Dr. Beth Abramson, a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke
(中风) Foundation of Canada.(加拿大心脏和中风基金会发言人、预防心脏病专家贝丝·艾布拉姆森博士说:
“日常生活中的一个小小的改变，从长远来看可能会产生巨大的影响。”)”提到小的改变也能对预防心脏
病产生巨大的影响，由此可知，前后是转折关系，空处应该是引起下文，E项“But others may not have
crossed your mind.(但你可能没想过别的。)”符合，故选E。
7．上文“If we don’t have enough sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure,
inflammation and glucose levels. (如果我们没有足够的睡眠，我们的身体也很难控制血压、炎症和血糖水
平。)”提到缺少足够的睡眠会导致我们很难控制血压，炎症和血糖水平，结合全文可知，本文主要讲述了
一些小的改变能预防心脏病，由此可知，空处承接上文，指出血压，炎症和血糖水平得不到控制后对心
脏产生一定的影响，F项“These factors can all have an impact on heart health.(这些因素都会对心脏健康产
生影响。)”符合，“These factors”指代上文提到的blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels，故选F。

适合做本段小标题，故选B。
9．上文“Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease.( 长期接触这种污染会
增加患心脏病的风险。)”提到长期接触污染的空气会增加患心脏病的风险，下文“Try to get your outdoor

alone. ___13___In a world where we’re constantly flooded with images of what an “outdoorsy person” should

the time, money or physical mobility of a big trip. (它们不需要长途旅行的时间、金钱或体力)”讲短时间旅行
的优点，D选项“但在大自然中的短暂时刻也同样宝贵。”切题，选项中“smaller moments”对应下文
“They don’t require the time…of a big trip”。故选D项。
12．由上文“Think of time in nature as a “multivitamin”—it’s best to take it every day. (把大自然中的时间想

自然，无需在户外体验自然。故选G项。
15．下文“You can barbecue in your yard or the park, or open a window to get some fresh air. These are great

A Simple Trick to Resist Junk Food
You’re tired and hungry. Then you catch something delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening.
It is fried chicken! ____16____ A new research says that being exposed to the smell of junk food for at least two
minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.
Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose’s attention tends to be most
appealing just after you first smell it? What will happen if you’re standing in line after a couple of minutes?
____17____ And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
The results of a series of experiments show that extended exposure of more than two minutes to junk food
smell leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell. ____18____ That is why long
exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth.
____19____ When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly
influenced. The reason for this is that healthy food is not connected with reward in our brain and therefore has
little influence on what we desire.
So next time you’re feeling you don’t have the willpower to resist that French fries, it might be as simple as
sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. ____20____
A．But wait a minute before you order.
B．It’s a response that has been researched.
C．Get the satisfaction with none of the junk food.
D．It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E．However, it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.
F．The brain doesn’t necessarily tell apart a pleasurable smell or taste.
G．It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.
【答案】16．A 17．D 18．F 19．E 20．G
16．根据空后的“A new research says that being exposed to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can
actually help you make healthier food choices.(一项新的研究表明，接触垃圾食物的气味至少两分钟实际上
可以帮助你做出更健康的食物选择。)”可知，选择食物前与先接触食物味道至少两分钟，所以设空处应与
等待时间有关，A选项“But wait a minute before you order.(但是在订购前请稍等片刻。)”与空后的内容吻合。故选A项。
17．根据空前的问题“What will happen if you’re standing in line after a couple of minutes?(如果您在几分钟
后排队会发生什么？)”可知，空后应对此问题做出回答，D选项“It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just
moments ago.(它不像刚才那样不可抗拒。)”给出答案，同时句中的“just moments ago”与上文“a couple of
minutes”相照应。故选D项。
18．根据空后的“That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in
your mouth.(这就是为什么长时间暴露在垃圾食品气味中可以像实际将其放在嘴里一样令人满意。)”可知，
该句与空格内容为因果关系，此处表示的是结果，所以设空处应选择原因，F选项“The brain doesn’t
necessarily tell apart a pleasurable smell or taste.(大脑不一定能分辨出令人愉悦的气味或味道。)”与空后的内
容为因果关系，符合逻辑。故选F项。
19．根据空后的“When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly
influenced.(当检查到健康食品的气味时，食物选择没有受到深远的影响。)”可知，该段落讲述的是接触到
健康食物的产生的影响，而空前段落讲述的是接触到垃圾食物产生的影响，所以设空处应为过渡句，表
示转折关系，E选项“However, it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.(然而，健康食品的气味并非
如此。)”符合逻辑。故选E项。
20．根据空前的“So next time you’re feeling you don’t have the willpower to resist that French fries, it might
be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two.(所以下次你觉得自己没有
抵抗炸薯条的意志力时，可能就像坐在那里闻一两分钟的甜味一样简单。)”可知，闻一闻想吃的甜食一两
分钟，就可以帮助抵抗住想吃垃圾食物的欲望，所以空后表达的是嗅觉得到满足后，吃的欲望也得到了
满足，空格位于段尾，对文章作总结，G选项“It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it
is satisfied.(这和实际吃它是一样的，因为你吃它的欲望得到了满足。)”符合语境和文章的主题。故选G项。

How to deal with seasonal fatigue(困乏)
During the summer, we are very handy when it comes to work. In the morning, we wake up full of energy,
rest and motivated to give our best at work or school. Energy does not leave us even during the afternoon. It is not
until around eight o’clock in the evening that we begin to feel a little tired. ____21____ Don’t worry you are notalone. That’s why, in this article, we will tell you about the effective ways to overcome autumn fatigue.

fast food, processed and heavy foods, you cannot expect to be full of energy. ____22____ If you feel tired in the
autumn, your diet is the factor you should start with. A balanced and healthy meal is the best choice.
Exercise regularly
____23____ It improves overall health, quality of sleep, helps to lose weight, improves cognitive function
and even has a positive effect on overall feeling of fatigue. Each person should engage in 150 minutes of
moderate-intensity physical activity or 74-minute high-intensity physical activity per week. Over time, you will
realize that even when you are tired and you are looking forward to exercise. ____24____
Make yourself happy
You have surely experienced time when you don’t feel like yourself, you don’t feel like doing anything, you
feel under the weather and then something comes along that makes you happy. ____25____ That’s exactly why
you should enjoy your life. There is nothing wrong with making yourself happy.
A．Your body won’t function properly as well.
B．Exercise has an undoubtedly positive effect on health.
C．Because it improves your mood and boost you with fresh energy.
D．Your day turns 180 degrees in a second and you feel full of energy.
E．But it’s difficult for us to have a sound sleep at 11 o’clock in the evening.
F．Then autumn comes and we feel as if someone has pressed a button and initiated sleep mode.
G．Inviting a friend to do daily exercise with you can help you stay on track with regular activity.
【答案】21．F 22．A 23．B 24．C 25．D
21．下文“Don’t worry you are not alone. That’s why, in this article, we will tell you about the effective ways to
overcome autumn fatigue. (别担心，你并不孤单。这就是为什么，在本文中，我们将告诉您克服秋季疲劳
的有效方法。)”说明空格处说的是秋天这个季节克服疲劳的方法，因此 F项“秋天来了，我们感觉好像有
人按下了一个按钮，启动了睡眠模式”符合语境，故选F。
22．上文“If you eat fast food, processed and heavy foods, you cannot expect to be full of energy. (如果你吃快
餐、加工食品和重磅食品，你就不能指望精力充沛)”说明空格处讲的是吃快餐、加工食品和重磅食品对健
康的影响，因此空处应该承接上文，继续描述给你身体带来的影响，A项“你的身体也不能正常工作”
符合语境，故选A。
23．根据段落标题“Exercise regularly (定期锻炼)”以及下文“It improves overall health, quality of sleep,
helps to lose weight, improves cognitive function and even has a positive effect on overall feeling of fatigue (它改善整体健康、睡眠质量、有助于减肥、改善认知功能，甚至对整体疲劳感有积极影响)”说明运动的重要性，
因此B项“运动无疑对健康有积极的影响”符合语境，故选B。
24．上文“Over time, you will realize that even when you are tired and you are looking forward to exercise. (久
而久之，你会意识到，即使你累了，你也期待着锻炼)”指出人们期待锻炼，因此空处应该承接上文，指出
人们期待锻炼的原因，C项“因为它可以改善你的情绪，并为你注入新鲜的能量”符合语境，故选C。
25．下文“That’s exactly why you should enjoy your life. There is nothing wrong with making yourself happy.
(这正是你应该享受生活的原因)”可知，空处应该是说明享受生活的原因，因此D项“你的一天在一秒钟
内转了180度，你感到精力充沛”符合语境，故选D。
