When I was a child I was ften tld what nt t eat. “Yu dn’t want t get fat” was n cnstant(持
续的) repeat thrughut my childhd. It really messed up my relatinship with fd – smething that
tk me years t vercme. Because f this, I’m careful nt t cnnect what my kids weigh with their
wrth as peple. I encurage my daughter t make healthy snack chices and ften dissuade (劝阻) her
frm a secnd dessert. But ne day when I heard her saying “I think I’m t fat,” my heart sank. It made
me wnder if giving her advice n snacks was having an unintentinally(无意的) negative impact.
Accrding t Charltte Markey, a prfessr f psychlgy, fd is ne f the rare(罕见的) subjects
where, as parents, saying less is mre. “There are s many things in parenting that are gd t talk
thrugh, but I’m nt cnvinced that fd is ne f them,” she says. “It just creates sme wrries and
insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.”
Instead, she recmmends applying a well-knwn cncept amng nutritin(营养) experts called the
3
“Divisin f Respnsibility,” where parents prvide a variety f mstly healthy fds t their kids at
fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and hw much they want t cnsume – even if that
means ccasinally eating mre ckies than carrts.
Allwing kids t eat what they want als expses them t the natural cnsequences f their
decisins. “When yur child says, ‘My stmach hurts,’ yu can say, ‘Well yu had a lt f sugary fds
and yu might feel better if yu made sme ther chices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have
sme cntrl ver it.”
I’ve been trying ut these strategies and I’ve fund that when I’m less restrictive(约束的) , they d
make better decisins. “Feeding is a lng game,” says Markey. “The fd yu have available makes a
huge difference. Even if they dn’t eat it, they’re seeing it. And then all f a sudden it clicks.”
24. What can be inferred(推断) abut the authr frm the first paragraph?
A. She dubts the way she was fed. B.She is upset by her kids’ weight.
C. She is interested in making fd. D. She is particular abut what she eats.
25. Which f the fllwing wuld Markey disapprve f?
A. Allwing kids t eat ckies ccasinally.
B. Offering varius fds t kids at fixed times. C. Explaining t kids the risks f taking snacks. D. Talking with kids abut schl at mealtimes.
26. What shuld kids d accrding t the “Divisin f Respnsibility”?
A. Share their fd with ther kids. B.Make diet decisins n their wn.
C. Eat up what is prvided fr them. D. Help their parents d the dishes.
27. What des the authr think f the strategies she has been fllwing?
A. Cstly. B. Cmplex. C. Wrkable. D. Cntradictry.

A nvel design apprach t gardening has been gaining in ppularity wrldwide. Referred t as
matrix planting, this apprach aims fr nature t d a lt mre f the heavy lifting in the garden, and even
sme f the designing. Eschewing fertilizers(肥料) and pwer tls, it’s based n an elegantly simple
principle: t garden mre like nature des.
The cncept was brn when German city planners sught t plant large areas f parkland after
Wrld War II in a reprducible(可再生的) way that wuld need as little maintenance(维护)as pssible.
Planners created planting mixes that culd be used mdularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with
similar cultural needs are gruped s that they will grw tgether abve and belw grund, frming a
cperative ecsystem(生态系统) that cnserves water and discurages weeds(杂草).
Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudlf’s gardens ppularized this style, adding artistic flavrs(
特点) t the planting mixes while playing with clr and frm, including fur-seasn interest and serving
the needs f wildlife. Beautiful year-rund, they invite yu t enjy the smallest detail, frm the sund f
grasses in the gentle wind t the sculpture f dd-lking(奇怪的) seed heads.
It takes a lt f thught t lk this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully
planned, with cultural needs the first cnsideratin. Led by the cncept f “right plant, right place,” they
match plants that enjy the same sil, sun and weather cnditins, and arrange them accrding t their
patterns f grwth.
The benefits are substantial fr bth gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced,
the garden’s eclgy can develp well. Established matrix gardens shuld nt need the life supprt we
give mst gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Cmpared t traditinal garden plts(布局), they
4
increase carbn absrptin, reduce strmwater runff and bst habitat and bidiversity significantly.
28. What des the underlined wrd “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Running ut f. B. Taking advantage f.
C. Putting up with. D. Keeping away frm.
29. Why was the idea f matrix planting intrduced?
A. T cntrl weeds in large gardens. B. T develp lw-maintenance parkland.
C. T cnserve sil and water resurces. D. T bring in freign species f plants.
30. Which f the fllwing best describes Piet Oudlf’s gardens?
A. Traditinal. B. Odd-lking. C.Well-prtected. D. Tasteful.
31. Which f the fllwing can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The future f gardening is WILD B. Nature treats all lives as EQUALS
C. Matrix gardens need mre CARE D. Old garden plts wrk WONDERS
D
Want t learn a new language r get A’s in cllege exams? Previus studies have shwn that
exercise can help stimulate(激 发 ) the areas f the brain that cnvert (转 换 ) new infrmatin int
lng-term memry. A new study has taken this infrmatin ne step further and fund the best time when
exercise can help maximize (最大化) learning.
Building upn past research that fund exercise releases(释放) bichemicals that imprve mental(大
脑的) functin, scientists at Radbud University and the University f Edinburgh cnducted a study t
determine when exercise was mst beneficial t learning.
Participants – 72 healthy male and female adults – were first asked t perfrm a cmputer test that
challenged their visual(视 觉 的 ) and spatial(空 间 的 ) learning. After the test, all f the participants
watched nature dcumentaries, but tw-thirds f them als exercised. Half f the exercisers did circuit
training(循环训练) n an exercise bike fr 35 minutes immediately after the test. The ther half did the
same exercise but nt until fur hurs after they had been tested.
Tw days later, all f the participants returned t the lab fr a recall(回 忆 ) test, and they were
cnnected t MRI (磁共振成像) machines t assess their brain activity. The participants wh exercised
fur hurs after taking the cmputer test were able t recall what they had learned mst accurately(准确
地). Their brainwaves als shwed mre cnsistent(一致的) levels f activity, indicating that their brains
were less taxed t remember what they had learned.
Accrding t this research, the best time t exercise t imprve learning is fur hurs after studying.
But why? That’s ne questin the researchers have yet t answer. Anther questin left unanswered is the
level f exercise that might best imprve learning. I’ve run enugh marathns t prve the fact that my
brain is anything but sharp during r after a tugh wrkut. But the researchers nted that light wrkuts
might nt give the brain enugh f a bichemical bst t imprve learning.
32. What did the new study aim t explre?
A. When exercise is best fr learning. B. What bichemicals are gd fr health.
C. Hw brainwaves shuld be measured. D. Which area f the brain is the mst active.
33. What were all the participants asked t d during the experiment?
A. Train n bicycles. B. D mathematics exercises.
C. Watch films abut nature. D. Play cmputer games.
34. Why did the participants return t the lab tw days later?
5
A. T d a medical examinatin. B. T have their memry tested.
C. T get their wrkuts recrded. D. T finish their previus tasks.
35. What might the authr’s marathn running prve?
A. The findings f the study are reliable. B. Lng-distance runners are ften smart.
C. Hard exercise may nt sharpen the brain. D. Studies n the marathn are nt enugh. 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）

n value in delivering any kind f cmmunicatin, whether written, spken, frmal, r infrmal, if the

hearing it fr the first time. Keep it simple.
 39
If yu’ve ever wrked as an instructr, manager, trainer r cach, yu’ll knw that there are few
better ways t learn new infrmatin than t teach it. Ask the audience t cntribute their ideas r t take
a rle in explaining new cncepts and plicies t thers. Allw them t lead discussins and meetings t
develp their cmmunicatin skills.
 Cnsider the best methd t deliver yur message.
If the infrmatin yu’re cmmunicating isn’t urgent(紧急的), cnsider sending an email. Written cmmunicatin will give yur audience mre time t review it, think it ver, and fllw up with
questins. 40
Building effective cmmunicatin skills takes time, but the effects are wrth the effrt.
A. Be patient.
