_______________________________________________________
（2023·天津河西·统考二模）阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
At the age of 15, Roxanne Black-Weisheit was told that she got lupus, a systemic autoimmune (自身免疫)
disease that occurs when one’s body’s immune system attacks the healthy tissues and organs. Shortly after, Black-
Weisheit desperately sought emotional support. She wanted a friend who could truly understand her situation, and
she figured there were others who needed this, too.
So, during her first year of college, she created Friends’ Health Connection (FHC), a non-profit organization
that helped people with similar health conditions.
As she was starting FHC, lupus was destroying her kidney function. During her senior year of college, she had
her first kidney transplant and 13 years later, she had her second one. Through it all, she didn’t forgo FHC. She’d
even transformed her hospital room into an “office” and worked in her hospital bed.
After graduation, she secured enough funding to continue growing her organization, and it became her full-
time job. But, unfortunately, lupus and kidney transplants weren’t the end of Black-Weisheit’s health issues. Five
years ago, at 42, she had lymphoma.
Black-Weisheit’s new disease left her extremely weak and tired, and she knew she had to make a choice about
FHC． “Since my time and energy were limited and my future was uncertain, the board and I decided to close
our office. I wanted to devote all my energy to keeping my family life as normal as possible,” she explained.
Her career didn’t end there, though. When she started feeling better, she felt the urge to start working again.
Using her experience from FHC, she started a new company — Schedule Authors.com, which helps other
companies schedule different types of speakers for their events. This is now Black-Weisheit’s current job. But she
missed running her own non-profit organization, so she started trying to figure out how to bring back FHC．
And, recently, she received some great news: A past FHC donor would provide her with a grant to get the
organization running again.

There are many historical sites and places in the world that give us insight and evidence of the past
civilization. These sites help us learn about our ancestors, their living and culture. These sites can be called
common or universal heritage (遗产) of humankind and our world heritage.
These sites from the past civilizations are for all humans. We must live in them today and also pass them on to
future generations. They teach us about our past and represent the great achievements of our ancestors and make us
proud. World heritage has historical, cultural and economic significance. It has exceptional value and importance
for humankind from history, science and arts points of view and must be cared for.
Many UNESCO sites that stand today are under threat. There is a list of thirty sites by UNESCO that are
endangered. There are many external factors responsible for damaging the world heritage, some of which are
climate change, natural disasters, urbanization and unchecked tourism etc.
With the growing strength of these external factors, it is becoming more and more important to take proper
measures to save and preserve these timeless achievements of humankind. There are many communities and
organizations in the world which are working to protect these sites. We can work with these organizations, travel
agencies, government groups and local communities. We should join them to support their cause. Another way to
play our part is to shoulder travel responsibility Tourism can generate funds for the restoration of historical sites but
at the same time unchecked tourism can damage them seriously.
The younger generation must preserve the identity of the people who came before them. No matter what is our

【2022年天津卷第二次】It was a dark and stormy night. The ferocious wind shook the windows wildly, as
though someone outside were beating on the glass. It was also New Year’s Eve. We were having our annual party
and had a house full of people just starting to celebrate.
Suddenly, we heard loud explosions. Looking outside and up into the hills, we saw sparks(火花) flying from
electrical transformers(变压器). One area after another went dark up in those hills. Then there was the loudest
explosion of them all and our house went dark too. I tried to find every candle we had and lit them. The candles
made everything look lovely. But we had problems. We had fifteen people standing around and we still had to cook
dinner. How would we do that without electricity?

There were still a few hours to go before the beginning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table
and sang up until a few minutes before midnight. We couldn’t watch the ball drop in Times Square on television but
that wouldn’t stop us from celebrating. I stood on a chair and, with the help of someone’s watch to tell us the time,
we all counted down and I dropped a tennis ball! We all screamed Happy New Year. We didn’t need electricity for
that!
Nowadays, we still get together with the same group to celebrate the New Year and we still talk about that

Life on the street is a constant struggle for homeless people. In extreme weather conditions, that struggle
becomes even more difficult. Recently, homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn’t
find shelter for the night.
Thankfully, one local woman refused to let that happen. On January 30, 34-year-old Candice Payne, a local
managing broker, was lucky enough to have shelter from the dangerous conditions. “It was -20℃, and I knew they
were going to be sleeping on ice and I had to do something,” said Payne. Payne started brainstorming different
ways she could possibly help. Finally, she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and hotels
that she could get to help those stuck on the street.
For Payne, her mission was personal. According to Payne, her husband, Carlos Callahan, had lived on the
street at one point in his life. Based on his experience, Payne knew that the homeless people still living on the street
desperately needed help and she wanted to step up.
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 8However, when Payne explained what she was trying to do, many of the local hotels refused to allow her to
pay for the rooms as they didn’t want homeless people to stay in their rooms. “No one wanted them, but one hotel,
the Amber Inn, was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms,” said Payne.
Payne’s selfless act made news across the country. However, she insisted she had never done it for attention.
“I am a regular person,” said Payne, who spent thousands of dollars of her own money to help complete strangers.
“It all sounded like a rich person did this, but I’m just a little black girl from the South Side.”

The Appalachian Trail attracts thousands of serious hikers each spring, only one in four hikers completes the
entire trail.
The Sutton family recently finished hiking the entire trail. They are a unique trio (三人组) as their son Harvey
turned five on the trail, which makes him the youngest to complete the Appalachian Trail. Josh and Carrie Sutton
said they needed to take, breaks from busy work called mini-retirements. “We set the family goal of living a life
with extraordinary stories. Doing things like hiking with a child on the Appalachian Trail gives you extraordinary
stories,” Josh Sutton said.
When Harvey turned three, they took him winter camping, and by the time he was four, the family completed
a 50-mile hike, camping over six days. Seeing that Harvey developed a passion for hiking, they planned a thru-hike
on the Appalachian Trail. Hiking from end to end is called a thru-hike and generally takes five to seven months to
complete.
They hit the trail in Georgia on January 13, 2021. The first weeks were cold. The trail was icy and snow-
covered, and the weather was often cloudy and bitter, so they made slow progress. They would wake up early each
day, pack their gear (装备), and then start walking. As they had many miles to cover each day, they had to be
inventive and started using imagination and Skittles (彩虹糖) as incentive for little Harvey.
The family completed their journey on August 9, 2021. Little Harvey learned to count all the way to 2,193, the
total miles his little feet traveled, and a big number for someone who just started kindergarten. “I will do it again
because like it so much,” said Harvey.
Although the Suttons are now back home, they have incredible memories of this mini-retirement. The journey
is a life-changing experience for the Sutton family and is an inspiration for families who dream of taking a similar

In 2019, the state of California was on fire. Alexandria Villaseor, who was 13 at the time, witnessed the
destruction of Northern California’s Camp Fire, which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land.
Villaseor was scared. “That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected. “And just how
much we lacked climate education these past couple of years.”
Villaseor, at the age of 15, was determined to have a bigger conversation. She quickly realized the fight
requires international, government-level changes. For her, what started as local concern turned into a year-long
protest in front of the United Nations’ New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory
climate education. She sat on a bench in front of the headquarters, begging for the world’s leaders to take climate
change seriously.
Her action received national attention, with millions of other students around the world joining in the
movement. “It’s completely unacceptable not to learn anything about our planet and our environment in school,
after all the young people would inherit the Earth.” Villaseor said, “That’s why I think that climate education is so
important, and that’s why I focus a lot on it now.”
Right now, Villaseor is working with the American Administration on its climate plan, which has promised to
center on the needs of young people and communities most impacted by climate change. She even spoke at the
2021 Democratic National Convention. “This was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were
listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists.” Villaseor said.
When she isn’t connecting with her fellow youth activists, Villaseor is like most other teens. “My favorite
thing to do, of course, is sleep,” she said, “I like to read a lot. I like fantasy books, normally. I also like to write.”

Fashion’s Melt Down
Throwaway culture is trashing the planet—but one young chemical engineer has her own way to turn it over.
Fast fashion has changed the way we dress. We buy more clothes, more often–but we wear them less. Alina
Bassi, founder of Kleiderly, wants to give our clothing waste another chance at a useful life.
Bassi has always cared about the threat of climate change, but she actually started her career in the oil
industry. After a few years, she landed at bio-bean, a startup that turned waste coffee grounds into products that
could be burnt for heat and fuel. After a year, Bassi was keen to branch out—used coffee grounds are not the
biggest threat facing the planet. Instead, she poured her efforts into tackling a much bigger global polluter: the
fashion industry.
According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, we produce 100 billion items of clothing per year, and this is
set to double by 2050. But they don’t last long enough to offset(抵消) the carbon cost of producing the material,
creating the clothes, and then shipping them to customers. “It makes no sense that we have such a high carbon
footprint for something so short-lived.” Bassi says.
Using the principles of a circular economy, Bassi has developed a low-energy, multi-stage process to turn
clothing fibres into an alternative to oil-based plastic. This new plastic can then be used by manufacturers in their
existing machines, so that your old T-shirts and jeans will become different products instead of clothes, such as
clothing hangers, or even furniture.
Fashion companies have some other ways to reduce fashion waste, from creating clothes designed to last, to
recycling the fabric to make more clothing. But “a problem this big needs multiple solutions,” Bassi says. “We
think about the multiple lives of a product and how we can keep reusing it instead of letting it fall into landfills or
incinerators (焚化炉),” she says.
6．Why did Bassi switch her focus to the fashion industry?
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 127．How did she tackle the problems caused by the fashion industry?
8．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
● Kleiderly can change old jackets and trousers into a new material, which can be used to make more
clothing.

For years, psychologists have known how to measure the intelligence of individuals, but only recently have
they begun to investigate the issue of group intelligence. This notion stems from the observation that some groups
seem to work fantastically across tasks, even tasks that are not very similar. Early investigations suggest that group
intelligence is not the sum of the intelligence of the individuals in it. So what is the secret to their success?
Researchers at Google have tackled this question. They collected thousands of data points on hundreds of
groups and combed through them trying to find patterns. Are the members of effective groups friends outside of
work? Do groups whose members have similar personalities or backgrounds work together best? They put forward
many theories but found no patters to support them.
In fact, who was in the group apparently did not seem to make a difference; instead, the difference between
more and less effective groups seemed to lie in the interaction among the members. In effective groups, members
spoke for a roughly equal amount of time—not at every meeting or interaction, but across the course of a project.
Additionally, in effective groups, members face one another directly when they speak, using energetic and
enthusiastic gestures. Moreover, side conversations between individual members during meetings, far from being a
distraction, actually increased the group’s productivity. The positive behaviors uncovered in the study occur
exclusively in face-to-face interaction.
One might argue that most of these findings are extremely obvious, and needless to say, good managers have
probably always understood the principles. However, understanding group intelligence can help business and other
organizations make the fundamental changes necessary to improve group performance. The reason is that our social
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 13and professional lives are not always structured in ways that facilitate the kind of interaction that apparently
underlines effective group performance.
10．What is the finding of previous studies on group intelligence?
11．Why is it important for people to understand group intelligence?
12．Decide which part of the following statement is wrong. Underline it and explain why.
▶Although side conversations distract members during meetings, they can help to boost the group’s
efficiency.

“I can’t” might actually mean “I don’t want to,” “I’m afraid,” “I’m confused,” or even “I don’t know how.”
And after parsing out hidden meanings for the hundredth time, I can understand why my childhood gymnastics
coach had put a gym-wide ban on the phrase.
Anyone who used it, even the other coaches, had to do 50 push-ups before trying conversation again. It wasn’t
that he wanted people to do things beyond their skill or safety level. The policy was against the words themselves.
He felt they were a shield to hide behind instead of admitting more useful and actionable hesitations. “I’m afraid.”
“I’ve never done it by myself.” “I need to rest a few minutes before I try.” “I’m embarrassed to try in front of other
people.” “I don’t want to, because...”.
Academic experiences can follow the same pattern. Answering unexpected questions or trying a new protocol
in front of an audience can be crippling, Homework problems can compound and seem to get worse with each try
instead of better. We end up uttering “I can’t,” because sometimes it’s easier than “I am so frustrated and exhausted
that I want to cry,” “This makes me feel so dumb,” or even “I need help.”
As an asthmatic, my most vivid memories come from the annual hazing ritual known as the gym-class mile
run. For me, “I can’t” actually meant “I’m afraid of having an asthma attack in front of all of my classmates,” and
“It’s so embarrassing to run and be laps behind my peers; I would rather shield my ego from the hit by intentionally
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 14walking the whole thing, so please leave me alone.” My heart still starts to race just thinking of the number of times
my self-preserving. “I can’t” was met with a dismissive “Of course, you can.”
But letting ourselves fall back on the “I can’t” can do more damage than just hiding our deeper feelings.
Eventually we, and the people around us, start to believe it. I know there are things I have stopped trying because,
well, I just can’t. So why try? The number of laps I have avoided with well-timed bathroom breaks is staggering. I
can’t go back and tell my childhood self that the mile run wasn’t worth the anticipatory anxiety. But I can
remember how badly I wished even one classmate had acknowledged that I had barely missed the school record in
sit-and- reach instead of teasing me about laps the next day. I can remember that “I can’t” can so often mean
something else. And I can take the time to try to ask the right questions, so that I can say something more useful in
response than “Of course you can.”

15．What does “I can’t” actually mean when I said that in the gym-class mile run?

There are things I have stopped trying because of the fact that I am not able to do that.

Judgement is a quality that is hard to define but important to possess. Sir Andrew Likierman of the London
Business School suggests that judgment is “the combination of personal qualities with relevant knowledge and
experience to form opinions and take decisions”. And he argues that, thus defined, judgment involves a process —
taking in information, deciding whom and what to trust, summarizing one’s personal knowledge, checking any
prior beliefs or feelings, summarizing the choices available and then making the decision.
Expert knowledge can be useful in making judgments. But they are not the same thing. “Academics have
expert knowledge,” Sir Andrew observes. “They don’t necessarily have judgment.” People with judgment know
when they are out of their depth in making a decision and typically then seek the advice of someone who has the
right background and knowledge. “While good judgment is important to success,” Sir Andrew cautions, “success is
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 15not a signal that there has been good judgment.”
The degree of judgment required tends to increase as people take on more responsibility. Those with routine
tasks generally have limited scope for judgment. Line supervisors have some discretion (自行决定权). For a chief
executive, the proportion of decisions involving judgment is high. Deciding not to take action is also a judgment
with potentially serious consequences (for example, “I won’t get vaccinated” or “I won’t pay my bills”). The world
is full of people whose lack of judgment brought their careers or personal life crashing down. Many made the
common mistake of assuming everything was fine.
Though artificial intelligence gets used for more and more routine tasks in the service sector, exercising
judgment may be one area where humans retain an edge over machines. This is far from certain, however. With
enough practice, machines may be able to recognize these implicit cues and thus display the equivalent of good
judgment. But then, perhaps humans can be taught, too. In the long run, one of the trickiest aspects of human
judgment may be knowing precisely when to let machines take decisions and when to leave it to people.
18．What’s Sir Andrew’s definition of judgement?
19．Why aren’t expert knowledge and making judgments the same thing?
20．Please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why.
Although artificial intelligence is widely used for routine tasks, it can never exercise judgment as well as
humans.
21．Do you agree that humans “retain an edge over machines” in terms of making judgements? Why or why not?

When Brantley Harrison and her family rescued a tiny, injured squirrel back, then released her back into the
wild, they didn’t expect to ever see her again. Nine years later, however, little Bella, they called the squirrel Bella,
still comes to visit them almost every day—as long as snacks are provided, of course.
As a baby, the terrible attack made by an owl (猫头鹰) left Bella near death, she was carefully taken in by the
Greenville County, South Carolina family, and raised by them alongside three other squirrels named Larry, Curly,

and baby food, and was ready to jump on the trees in the forest. The sweet squirrel never goes too far from her
adopted home, though, and stops by to say hello whenever she can, despite how much time has passed.
“Bella sits right at the front door waiting for someone to notice she has come by for a visit. If no one notices
her, she will jump over to the dining room window to wait for someone to see her,” Brantley told The Dodo. The
little lady just isn’t ready to part with the family that succored her life. Whenever she stops by, she asks for nothing
more than a handful of nuts.
What is the most amazing part? A few years after Bella’s original stay at the Harrison house, she found her
way back to them with an injured foot—and a belly full of babies—spending another few months of recovering. “It
was truly amazing to watch the baby I raised raise her own babies,” Brantley said. Bella now even has her own

The term “nostalgia” was first coined in 1688 and was defined as a mental illness of soldiers continually
thinking about their homeland and longing for return. However, today we have a much more positive attitude to
nostalgia. It’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory.
In numerous scientific experiments, researchers have found that subjects are much more likely to report
positive feelings from a given piece of music if they’ve heard it before. But there’s also a growing body of research
into time travel “the other way”, because memory skills can take people into the future, too. Decades of studies
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 17have shown that time travel into the future can bring a whole new set of rewards. For example, athletes who
practice by mentally visualizing and imagining successful performances in the future do perform better.
All these findings are inspiring and attractive. How could you become a confident time traveler to the past or
into the future? Here are some tips for you:
·To take pleasure in helpful memories, maybe to reawaken happy feelings, use all your senses—not just sight.
Smell, taste, touch and sound will also help you to recreate the past in rich clarity.
·If you find a memory that’s particularly helpful—for reassurance, say—keep using it!
You’ll get faster at finding it, and add extra layers of detail each time.
·When you’re procrastinating (拖延), visualize an end result. Flash forward to see the floor swept or the essay
finished, and use that positive image to drive you into action.
·Ahead of major challenges, imagine the full impact of success. Don’t just picture yourself getting that great
job: fill your mind with the really big ways it’s going to change your life.
There’ll still be times when old thoughts remind you of sadness, or you’re anxious about what’s next. But the
more you learn to control your memory, the better you’ll be at mining your past, and shaping your future, to be your
best self now.
27．What did nostalgia originally mean?
28．What have the researchers found about time travel?
29．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
➢Memory skills can bring us into the future, so we should imagine a negative end result to drive us into action

The Weight of White Lies
A man taking his mother to a surprise party tells her they’re going to the mall. A woman fibs that the store was
out of her overweight boyfriend’s favorite junk food. A tutor assures his student that her spotty resumé looks fine.
Even benevolent forms of deception come in shades of acceptability, and people who learn that they have been
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 18misled don’t always see it the way deceivers do. A lie that’s meant to inflate someone’s confidence or discourage a
bad habit, for example, often involves making a judgment about what’s best for that person. That presumption can
backfire.
In recent experiments, participants playing an economic game on a computer received a tip that led them to
one of two possible payoffs. Some learned that the sender of the tip had lied to them to secure them a particular
option. If the best option had been debatable rather than obvious—such as receiving $10 right away rather than $30
after three months—participants judged that person as less moral for lying and were less satisfied with the outcome,
on average, even if it was the one they had previously said they preferred. “People seem to feel they have a right to
the truth, and that by taking that away, you diminish their ability to act freely,” says study co-author Matthew
Lupoli, a Ph.D．candidate at the University of California, San Diego.
Making up falsehoods isn’t the only way to kindly deceive, though: You might also simply leave out
unpleasant facts. Recent studies by University of Chicago researcher Emma Levine and colleagues examined both
types of lie in hypothetical patient-doctor talks and other contexts.
People in the role of deceiver tended to view the omission of potentially harmful details (such as a poor
prognosis) as comparable to or more acceptable than offering a comforting fiction (that a patient’s outlook was
favorable). But those in the role of the deceived often considered false-but-supportive statements more tolerable
than lies of omission. For deceivers, actively committing a lie feels more intentional and might provoke more guilt
than omission, Levine says. But the targets of deception “aren’t likely to be sensitive to these differences because
they just experience the consequences.”
In general, honesty is probably still the best policy. A lie that provides some emotional benefits and has little
downside could be the closest second.

Monday started as an ordinary day for Shannon St. Onge, who lived in Pense, a town in Saskatchewan,
Canada. She drove the approximately 25 kilometres east into Regina for work.
She kept an eye on highway conditions throughout the day. The weather network was warning of a blizzard.
Expected start time was at around 7 pm, but she thought she could make it. “I bought a takeout for the kids, filled
my gas tank, replaced my broken phone charger and then headed home around 5:30 before the storm hit,” she wrote
in a Facebook post.
She took a dirt road because she thought it would be better for the winter driving conditions. Just as the
pavement turned into gravel (碎石路), the wind picked up and visibility started to diminish (降低). She drove at a
snail’s pace with her window rolled down, using the edge as her guide. After a while she realized she was lost.
Whiteout conditions left her confused.
She could make out a sign that said “Bouvier Lane,” giving her some sense of where she was. Then she posted
her location on the Pense community Facebook page in hopes that someone might be able to find her. That was
when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr. figured out her location. Despite his wife’s concern for his well-being, he
decided to help her and headed out in the storm.
He bundled up (使穿得暖和), grabbed an LED flashlight and walked about half a kilometre into the raging
storm to search for St. Onge’s car. To Bouvier’s surprise, he found two other cars with people who also needed help
trapped alongside St. Onge. He led the seven lost people back to his home and welcomed them in for the evening.
Bouvier became a hero overnight. Bouvier didn’t want much credit for his efforts for a stranger in need.

Each evening, Josie and I would sit in front of the garden. We would have a chat, exchanging our world views

husband wheeled her into the living room, and they watched old movies together. She called it “date time”. And

Meet Mahdi Gilbert, the 25-year-old Canadian magician making waves in the world of magic. He practices
card manipulation (握牌手法) and sleight of hand (敏捷手法), a common skill set for a magician, but what makes
him different is his lack of hands.
Standing at four feet and six inches, Gilbert’s left arm stops at the elbow, and he has an appendage (附肢) on
his right arm. Gilbert was forced to reinvent magic for himself, individually recreating all of the techniques used in
his mind. Despite his lack of access to information about magic, having never visited any magic stores, or read any
magic books, Gilbert confidently told his high school guidance teacher. “I’m going to be a magician.” She asked,
“Do you do magic now?” to which he replied “Not yet. But I will.”
Mahdi began seeking out magicians online and on television as a teenager, and soon became a follower of
David Blaine. When he was sixteen, Gilbert decided to move away from mental based magic toward more magical
tricks. He bought a deck of cards and a book on card manipulation, but he didn’t tell anyone what he was doing.
Eventually, he mastered shuffling (洗牌) and then began to master different magical tricks in more complex ways.
He began to make connections with other magicians through magic shops and his reputation began to mount.

In the mornings, as I walked from the train station to the office, I planned my day by making a to-do list in my
head: the scientific articles I would read, the data sets I would analyze, and-most urgent of all-the insights into
human nature that it was my job to discover.
Each evening, I went back to the station, again going through my mental checklist but this time sizing up my
performance against the expectations I’d set for myself that morning. Time and again, when comparing my to-do
list with my got-done list, I felt disappointed because I had fallen short.
But one day, something very strange happened. During my trip home, without any conscious intent, my
thoughts began to shift. Instead of feeling bad about my weaknesses, I said aloud very softly: I’m a nice person. I’m
a nice person. I’m a nice person.
By the time I boarded my train, I was done with my little chant-until the next day when I walked home. And
again, after counting my failures, I found myself saying quietly: I’m a nice person.
It turns out that there’s a technical term for this practice: values affirmation. And what it boils down to is
recognizing, and strengthening, the personal values you hold most dear.
When you affirm a core personal value, you shore up your sense of self-worth. You broaden your outlook:
Instead of focusing on your shortfalls, you switch to a wide-angle view that includes your resources and
opportunities. And the people who do this are happier, healthier, and more hopeful.
Over time, I made progress in my research and learned a lot about what makes most successful people special,
including this: Nobody has passion and determination unless what they do lines up with their values.
Try values affirmation for yourself and teach the practice to your students. Take a moment and think of a value
you hold dear, whether it’s kindness, creativity, or gratitude. Whatever it is, name it. And then say to yourself:
Come what may, I know who I am. Your values are your foundation and your compass, too. Trust them, and they
will lead you home.

Ren Sainan chanced upon the funeral industry in 2019. With a degree in e-commerce, she joined an online
retailer that deals in funeral supplies after several failures in attempting to get a “normal” job upon graduation.
Encouraged by her family, colleagues and friends, Ren realized that what matters most is living for the
moment and working for what she loves. Putting aside the opinions of others, she began to model for new shrouds
(寿衣) for live-broadcasting as part of her daily job. Gradually, she found that working in the funeral industry is
meaningful and that everyone has a story.
One night during the Spring Festival, Ren received a call. A girl sobbed, asking whether she had a green burial
suit, as she was preparing for the funeral of her father who used to be a soldier at Jiayu Pass, safeguarding China’s
northwestern frontier. He had a deep affection for the color green.
Searching through piles of clothes at the warehouse, Ren failed to find the color. Moved by the daughter and
the father, she decided to make a green-colored suit along with a tailor at the company.
In the beginning, Ren was afraid of telling her mother about working as a model and designer for burial
clothes. “After I accepted myself in this job, I talked about it with my mother. Her first reaction was ‘you should
resign,’” Ren said. She made a trip home in Pingdingshan, a two-hour drive from Zhengzhou where she works, in
hope to impress her mother with various products. “She softened her tone as these designs upended her perception
of saying goodbye to the world,” she said.
In traditional Chinese culture, the discussion of death is taboo (禁忌的), and the shrouds, along with other
funeral supplies, are things people avoided talking about in daily life. And even with good employment
opportunities, people were reluctant to work as funeral directors.
As a shroud model, Ren’s presentation has changed people’s fixed images of the funeral supplies. While
amazed at the diverse and personalized development of the funeral industry, Chinese netizens have also expressed
their admiration for Ren’s job.

Most companies use advertising to promote their brands, sell their products, and increase their income. For
years, businesses have used different strategies in advertising to sell their products or services through written or
visual messages.
When creating advertisements, companies tend to design some parts that appeal to our emotions or can be
connected to our own lives. This is called memorable advertising. Our brains often pay attention to those parts that
appeal to our emotions and forget about the rest of the information we see. So, one way to make memorable
advertising is by adding an emotional or personal aspect to the most important part of the advertisement. As a
result, there is a greater chance that viewers will remember that. If the scenes that appeal to our emotions manage
to, at the same time, highlight the brand and its benefits, viewers will be more likely to build a connection with the
brand, which can increase sales.
A good example is an advertisement from a leading consumer goods company. The advertisement showed
people of all ages and from all parts of the world. In the advertisement, an artist drew pictures of what people
thought they looked like — and compared those pictures to pictures of what their friends thought they looked like.
This showed that people often perceive themselves negatively compared with reality — usually people criticize
their looks too much. The advertisement encouraged people to see the positives in their looks, rather than the
negatives. In this way, the advertisement triggered very strong emotional responses, achieved attention worldwide,
and so made more people remember it.
Another way to make memorable advertising is by creating a fictional character that represents the brand.
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 25Think of the Michelin Tire Man. The human-like figure consists of stacked white tires. The mascot gives customers
a friendly, fun personality to connect and build a relationship with. It is much easier to connect with the friendly fat

They say to find out what you really want, go back to when you were a child.
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a painter, but I was never great at it. I was discouraged, because in art
classes my paintings were never the most beautiful. In the third grade, we were given a project to create a portrait. I
used the skills and tips we were all taught in class. After we were done, we presented our portraits. We stood in
front of the class and explained our technique. I remember looking at other portraits thinking,“We were given the
same skills, why do theirs look so professional and mine looks so amateur?”
But I still really enjoyed painting because it’s a forgiving art. If I don’t like what I’ve put on paper, I can paint
over it. I can mix colors and make new ones. Also, I can release some creative juices, use what has inspired me and
allow that to pour out of me in a way I may not have imagined.
But because I have always wanted to paint beautiful pictures, I just decided to change what beauty looked like.
I changed what beauty meant to me.
Throughout school, they taught us about Picasso, van Gogh and da Vinci, and I never saw myself or my art in
their works. These artists were always painting whatever was in front of them and around them. But that’s not what
I saw around me.
Then I learned about Basquiat, who inspired me to paint abstract pictures. I paint when I’m moved, and I am

is pain in the world or in my heart, it can be unbearable. I had a conversation with an activist in St.Louis named
Spook, and I explained to her this feeling and she told me,“Pain is energy. You have to learn how to channel that
energy into something productive.”So sometimes I channel that pain into art, into a painting.
Even if the picture doesn’t turn out aesthetically (美学地) pleasing by society’s standards, it’s still beautiful
that I was able to create something. My paintings may not be a Basquiat, but they’re mine, so I love them anyway.

Brain, 58, was treated in intensive care for a severe case. As soon as his condition had stabilized, he was sent
home with equipment including a phone and a blood pressure monitor.
“Every day I would input my vital signs on the app,” Brain said. “If anything went wrong or wasn’t right, a
nurse would call me straight away.”
Brain spent six weeks on this “virtual ward (病房)”, run by his local NHS hospital in partnership with Doccla,
a healthcare technology company. He is one of thousands of patients to have been treated in new “hospitals at
home”, seen by NHS leaders as a “lifeline” for overwhelmed hospitals that have run out of beds. 2,500 virtual ward
beds were already in use, ensuring that people could “get the care they need from their own homes”.
Retz, founder of Docile, said soon there could be “regional command centers”, where a doctor or nurse
monitored data from hundreds of patients displayed on a dashboard. “It works in a similar way to traditional ward
rounds in a hospital, with patients submitting data once or twice a day, which is reviewed by a doctor,” he said.
Noel O’Kelly, clinical director at Spirit Health, said, “Older people want to spend as little time in hospital as
possible and avoid hospital visits, particularly as frequent visits and long periods of time spent in hospital can be
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 28damaging to the health of older patients. We have already seen very encouraging results from the use of virtual
wards for older patients.”
Virtual wards allow real potential to support people to recover well in the community. The model is not a

lifeline for the system.

With society’s high pressures to achieve, it’s understandable that individuals prefer to hide their weak points—
but doing so comes at a cost.
I learned that lesson when I participated in a hiking expedition. As a new hiker, I struggled. The trip was
difficult to me even without needing to carry my heavy camping packs. I was slowed down, yet I refused to tell my
teammates in hopes that I would seem perseverant. To my delight and surprise, one of the more active members
requested that we stop for a break. I quickly realized I wasn’t the only one hiding my weaknesses after noticing the
rest of the team’s apparent relief.
For many of us, authenticity, or behaving as one’s true self in daily life, is quite challenging. As social beings,
we’ve learned to adapt and fit into our environment, making it challenging to display who we are at times. Yet, the
advantage of authenticity is evident, driving its recent popularity among thought leaders. Authenticity even

Researchers have found that not only did authentic workers have higher work engagement and lower work
tiredness, but their teammates had the same results, regardless of whether they were genuine themselves. The
results suggest that the benefits of authenticity go beyond the individual, and spread to teammates as well. So, we
can improve our teammates’ work behavior by merely being ourselves.
Why does authenticity boost our teammates? This is because authentic teammates do not prioritize protecting
themselves at the cost of their work or relationships. Instead, they recognize the interests of both themselves and
others when making decisions. This allows those they work with to feel safe while being themselves at work. By
focusing lesson appearing hard-working in hopes to get ahead—and more on trying to be better all-around
individuals—authentic teammates can make a great impact on their work environment.

Last year, I baked biscuits for complete strangers to say “thank you”. I’d had to call 999 because I found my
husband unconscious on the floor. Within minutes, a police car arrived and soon my husband received medical care
in hospital.
A week later, when I dropped off still-warm biscuits and presented a thank-you note at the police station, the
policemen thanked me for delivering gifts.
I drove away feeling light and happy. Later, I realized that my natural high might have been more than it
seemed.Research has shown that sharing gratitude has positive effects on health. People who express gratitude will
increase their happiness levels, lower their blood pressure and get better sleep.
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 30What about people who receive gratitude?Research has confirmed that when people receive thanks, they
experience positive emotions.“Those are happy surprises,”says Jo-Ann Tsang, a professor of psychology. When
someone is thanked,he’s more likely to return the favor or pass kindness on, and his chances of being helpful again
doubles, probably because he enjoys feeling socially valued.
The give-and-take of gratitude also deepens relationships. Studies show that when your loved ones regularly
express gratitude,making you feel appreciated,you’re more likely to return appreciative feelings, which leads to
more satisfactory in your relationships.
Nowadays,however,many people don’t express gratitude. Our modern lifestyle may be to blame. With
commercial and social media, everything is speeding the younger generation to feel they’re the center of the world.
If it’s all about them, why thank others?
Why not thank others? Just take a look at how many positive effects can saying “thank you”have on personal
health—and the well-being of others.
If you aren’t particularly grateful, I strongly suggest you learn to be.People who are instructed to keep
gratitude journals,in which they write down positive things that happen to them,cultivate gratitude over time.

Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long periods even if you also exercise regularly could be
bad for your health. And it doesn’t matter where the sitting takes place at the office, at school, in the car or before a
computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it occurs. Several studies suggest people who spend most of
their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 31In an editorial published this week in the British Joumal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish
School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define physical activity to
highlight the dangers of sitting.
While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum amounts of physical activity, they
haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position. “After four hours of sitting,
the body starts to send harmful signals,” said Ekblom-Bak. She explained that sitting too long slows the
metabolism-which affects our ability to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure, and metabolise fat-and may cause
weaker muscles and bones.
Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong,
a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day-but still spend
much time sitting-might get more benefits if that exercise was spread across the day, rather than in a single bout (一
回).
Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be
possible to offset (抵消) those effects.
“People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits,” Ekblom-Bak said. “But when they are in
the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible,” she said.
93．What are the possible bad effects of sitting for a long time?
94．What is the next step for the current research on sitting long hours?
95．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Sitting for long periods is bad for your health. However, doing exercise once a day is enough to get rid of the
impact of sitting too much.

Mussels in Port Phillip Bay are taking in microplastics used in cosmetics(化妆品). The microplastics travel
from bathroom sinks to the ocean, where they are easily confused with seaweeds. Because the mussels cannot tell
资料整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】 32the difference, they take in the plastic along with their normal diet of seaweeds.
According to researcher Dr Charlene Trestrail, the plastic doesn’t affect mussels directly, but it does reduce
their ability to digest the real food. It means they miss out on energy and nutrients, which affects their ability to
grow and reproduce.
“Besides being a tasty treat for humans, mussels play an important role in keeping marine ecosystems
healthy,” Dr Trestrail said. “And because of the reduced ability to grow and reproduce, we could see a drop in
mussel populations, with knock-on effects for other marine wildlife.”
While environmental campaigners have worked hard to reduce the amount of plastic in the oceans from easily
visible items such as shopping bags and packaging, most people are not aware of the impact of microbeads and
other hidden plastics in products including toothpaste or bath scrubs.
“We know lots about how plastics affect animals externally—we’ve all seen photos of birds and turtles twisted
in plastic—but this is the first study to investigate how tiny plastics affect animals’ stomachs,” Dr Trestrail said.
There has been a push in recent years to reduce microplastic pollution. But while the Government has
supported phasing out(淘汰) microbeads, some cosmetics industries stopped short of banning their use.
We need to take pollution from microplastics seriously. Because they’re so small, once they’re in the
ecosystem they are impossible to remove. The only solution is not to use them in the first place.

Habit formation is the process by which behaviours become automatic. People develop countless habits as
they explore the world, whether they are aware of them or not. Understanding how habits take shape may be
helpful in changing bad habits.
Habits are built through learning and repetition. A person is thought to develop a habit in the course of
pursuing goals by beginning to associate certain cues(刺激) with behavioural responses that help meet the goal.
Over time, thoughts of the behaviour and ultimately the behaviour itself are likely to be triggered(触发) by these
cues.
A “habit loop(环)” is a way of describing several related elements that produce habits. These elements are
called the cue, the routine, and the reward. For example, stress could serve as a cue that one responds to by eating,
which produces the reward﹣the reduction of stress. While a routine involves repeated behaviour, it’s not
necessarily performed in response to a deep﹣rooted urge, as a habit is.
Old habits can be difficult to shake, and healthy habits are often harder to develop. But through repetition, it’s
possible to form new habits. The amount of time needed to build a habit will depend on multiple factors, including
the individual and the intended behaviour. While you are able to pickup a new habit in a few weeks, it takes many
months to build a healthy habit. Take some time to think about what leads to bad habits and re﹣evaluate what you
get out of them (or don’t). Consider and keep in mind why you want to make a change, including how the change
reflects your values.

though someone outside were beating on the glass. It was also New Year’s Eve. We were having our annual party
and had a house full of people just starting to celebrate.
Suddenly, we heard loud explosions. Looking outside and up into the hills, we saw sparks(火花) flying from
electrical transformers(变压器). One area after another went dark up in those hills. Then there was the loudest

dinner. How would we do that without electricity?
The barbecue! Why not cook on the barbecue? We men went outside, some holding flashlights and others
cooking. We did a wonderful job. The women stayed inside and got the salads ready. Everything was delicious.
There were still a few hours to go before the beginning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table
and sang up until a few minutes before midnight. We couldn’t watch the ball drop in Times Square on television but
that wouldn’t stop us from celebrating. I stood on a chair and, with the help of someone’s watch to tell us the time,
we all counted down and I dropped a tennis ball! We all screamed Happy New Year. We didn’t need electricity for

【2022年北京卷】Tom, a 15-year-old inventor and entrepreneur (创业者), witnessed at his own school the
widespread consumption of sugary drinks by kids. He knew there had to be a better portable drink solution and
decided to innovate from something he saw in his own home: fruit infused (浸泡) water.
Tom watched his mum make healthy fruit infusions but then struggle for a take-along option. From observing
his mum and from his desire to give kids better drink options, he came up with his original model for the Fun
Bottle. “I wanted to come up with a healthy, natural way for people to drink when on the go. A big part of my
mission is to get people of all ages off sugary drinks,” Tom explains.
The bottle is made with a strainer (滤网) that allows the great tastes and natural sugars of the various fruits and
vegetables you choose to come through the water, without any of the seeds or skins flowing through.
Tom is proud of his design and excited to be selling the Fun Bottle on his website and in stores, but this 15-
year-old is most proud of the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others. It helps to provide healthy
alternatives to sugary drinks; and also Tom donates part of the profits to the Organisation for a Healthier Generation
(OHG).
Tom has been awarded several prizes, but this teenage innovator remains humble. When asked what advice
he’d give other entrepreneurial youth, he says, “Prepare and have your family’s support. It is important to know

friends， family members，or classmates rather than holding them back．
There is a difference between arguing and fighting．Arguing is that you and your opponent present your
concerns and discuss the feelings and issues related to those concerns．You can engage in an argument respectfully
without stirring up（激起） anger．Fighting，however，usually involves personal attacks，raising of voices，
and storming out．Discussing your issues and resolving them instead of stuffing them down can improve your
emotional health．In a study，2.000 people were asked to record their feelings and experiences for eight days in a
row．When people had an argument that they considered resolved， they had half the reactivity （情绪反应）
of those who avoided an argument．Reactivity is an increase in negative emotions or a decrease in positive
emotions．In other words，resolving an argument cuts your negative feelings by half．One day later， people
who had a resolved argument reported no increase of negative emotions compared with those who avoided an
argument． This means that resolving an argument can feel like you have reached a state of resolution——and
you are less likely to be annoyed．
Moreover，the older you are，the more likely you will come to a resolution after an argument．This may be
because more life experience usually leads to more defined priorities．You are more likely to distinguish between
what matters and what does not．
It is easier to avoid a discussion，but risking talking about it may eventually lead to a better outcome．

arts, crafts (手工) and music, and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.
Somewhere along the way, however, I lost touch with my creative self. At 21, I landed a job at a big insurance
company out of my business degree. I would go to the office, sit at my desk and repeat the same work five days a
week 9 to 5. The days were long and tedious. Working this way for one year was painful enough, let alone a

One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing, so I took a sewing course at a community college. It was
only a five-week course but it awakened my interest and got my confidence up.
As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up
for a part-time design course. I attended classes two nights a week. Although exhausting, it gave me energy,
enthusiasm and happiness.
As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time, the reality of my day-to-day work at the
insurance company became harder. I felt bored. No energy, no motivation and zero fulfilment (满足感).
I knew I needed to make a bigger change. After struggling for quite a while, I made a difficult decision—
leaving my job and studying my design course full time. Two years later I got my diploma.
The last few years have been exciting because I’ve been following my heart to do what I love. Today I am
living a creative life as the designer of my own fashion brand.
Sometimes it’s hard to make a change, but I’m so glad I set the wheels of change in motion with that very

【2020年天津卷第二次】As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother involves a lot of
walking in someone else’s shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of “cool”. For
years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the
neglected (被忽略的) one. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well.
I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career, but when
my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This
new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of “cool”.
I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I chanced to
show up for an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been fascinated with chemistry,
biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them. On
this day, for some reason, I did.
As we organized teams, prepared resources and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected than I
ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with peers
who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at. For the first time in my life, I actually
felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my

【2018年浙江卷11月】 It’s a really good idea to visit colleges before you apply because their websites can all
start to look and sound the same. Nothing will give you the sense of what it will actually be like to live on a college
campus(校园) like visiting and seeing for yourself the dorms, classrooms and athletic equipment and, of course, the
students. It seems a little crazy once senior year hits to find the time to visit college campuses, and it can also be
pricey if the schools you are applying to happen to be more than a car ride away. But keep in mind that you are
making a decision about the next four years of your life, and do all the research you can to make sure you are
making the right one.
There’s no excuse not to visit the schools in your local area. In fact, a lot of college applications even ask if you
have visited campus, and obviously, if you live across the country that won’t be as much of a possibility, but if you
live nearby, go check it out!
If campus visits aren’t going to happen before you apply, at the very least you should find some time between
applying and getting your acceptance letters to visit the schools you’d like to attend. It can save you a lot of
heartache if you rule out now the things that you don’t like about certain campuses, things that you wouldn’t know
unless you actually visit.
Now, if time and money are making it impossible, then check out the online college fairs at CollegeWeekLive. It’s a
chance to chat online with admissions officers, students, and college counselors (顾问), and it won’t cost you a
penny! You can register for its online college fair at collegeweeklive.com. While visiting an online college fair
can’t take the place of an actual campus visit, it can be a very useful tool that along with all your other research will
help you make an informed decision about which colleges or universities you’d like to attend.

【2019年天津卷】Haze Mabry，who has worked as a school keeper for thirteen years，walks into the
school building every day and empties garbage cans，wipes down bathrooms and mops wet messes in the
hallways.
Last Friday，after he arrived at the school，instead of finding garbage to clean up，he found almost 800
students lining the hallways with handmade cards，blowing noisemakers and singing a full-throated happy
birthday to him. It was his 80th. As he walked the long hallway，some popped out of lime to hug him. They
handed him so many cards that they filled several large boxes. Touched by their enthusiastic expression of
affection. Mabry thanked them all. "They're like my children，"Mabry said.
On a regular day，students at the school sometimes come up to him to say they're not feeling well or other
times to tell him about something that happened at break. He knows most of the kids at the school，but can't name
each one. Some of them make him know them. Like Faith，who often forgets her backpack in the cafeteria，and
Lucy，who just wants a hug.
“He won't brag（夸耀）on himself，but it doesn't matter what he's doing or where he is，he will always stop
what he's doing to take care of a child if that child is having a bad day. If a child approaches him，he will pause to
give that child his undivided attention. He's the most loved one in this building，"said Lori Gilreath，a reading
teacher.
Mabry works circles around all the students，cleaning up messes others don't want to touch. He doesn't expect
a lot. Mabry said he hadn't planned to do much for his milestone birthday，so he was happy the students had
prepared the surprise celebration.
