Sme 20 percent f adults are prcrastinatrs (拖延症患者). Everyne might put ff a task r tw, but lng-term prcrastinatrs d it at hme, at schl, at wrk and in their relatinships.
Fr years, researchers have fcused n the persnalities f peple wh prcrastinate. The results suggest prcrastinatrs may be impulsive (冲动), wrriers and have truble regulating their emtins. But prcrastinatrs are nt lazy. They’re actually very busy ding ther things than what they’re suppsed t be ding. Thugh prcrastinatrs may think they perfrm better under pressure, studies have reprted the ppsite. And when deadlines are uncertain, prcrastinatrs tend t delay their wrk.
When peple put ff a tugh task, they feel gd-in the mment. Prcrastinating is a way t avid the negative emtins linked t the task. But the relief it prvides is nly temprary, and many seek ut ways t stp prcrastinating.
In fact, mst research tday suggests prcrastinatin is a behaviral pattern, which means it’s smething yu can change, regardless f whether yu’re impulsive. What wrks best is still under research. Sme scientists have reprted success with time management. But the evidence fr that is all ver the map. That’s because pr time management is a symptm nt a cause f prcrastinatin.
Fr sme prcrastinatrs, seemingly bvius tips can wrk. Researchers advise students t simply put dwn their smartphnes. Silencing ntificatins r studying in the library rather than at hme can regulate distractins and keep peple n task. But that wn’t be enugh fr many peple. Stubbrn prcrastinatrs may benefit frm cgnitive behaviral therapy (认知行为疗法). This type f therapy, which invlves managing thughts and emtins and trying t change behavir, seemed t be the mst helpful. Still, nt many studies have examined treatments, and there’s rm fr imprvement.
24．What des prcrastinatin mean t lngtime prcrastinatrs?
A．A persnal advantage.B．A habitual behavir.
C．A wrking mtivatin.D．An excuse fr laziness.
25．What d experts think f prcrastinatrs?
A．They are inactive.B．They are efficient.
C．They are anxius.D．They are careful.
26．What causes peple t prcrastinate?
A．Their temprary relief frm the stress.
B．Their imperfectin in persnalities.
C．Their pr time management at wrk.
D．Their high ability t deal with hard wrk.
27．What may be the best prcrastinatin treatment accrding t the text?
A．Aviding smartphnes.B．Prper studying places.
C．Gd time management.D．Cgnitive behaviral therapy.

Unhealthy diets are respnsible fr preventable deaths glbally per year, mre even than smking tbacc, accrding t a majr study.
“But the biggest prblem is nt the junk we eat but the nutritius fd we dn’t eat,” say researchers, calling fr a glbal shift in plicy t prmte vegetables, fruit, nuts and beans. While sugar and trans-fats are harmful, mre deaths are caused by the absence f healthy fds in ur diet. Heart attacks are the main diet-related causes f death, fllwed by cancers and diabetes (糖尿病).
The study fund that eating and drinking better culd prevent ne in five deaths arund the wrld. “Rather than trying t persuade peple t cut dwn n sugar, salt and fat, which has been the main fcus f diet plicy debate in the past tw decades, it wuld be better t prmte healthy ptins. Adptin f diets emphasizing beans and ther healthy plant surces f prtein, fr instance, will have imprtant benefits fr human health,” nte the researchers.
The study is the mst cmprehensive analysis n the health effects f diet ever cnducted. It lked at 15 different nutrients, giving detailed knwledge f the analysis and summary f the risk factrs f them.
Tm Sanders, a prfessr f nutritin and dietetics (饮食学), said the analysis put t much emphasis n individual cmpnents rather than the verall diet. “Overweight is a majr driver fr risk f diabetes as well as cancer and the health evidence fr this relatinship is strng. Overweight is caused by eating mre fd energy than required rather than specific dietary cmpnents such as sugar. The trend fr ppulatins t sit t much is a majr reasn why there is an imbalance between energy intake and cnsumptin but Increased availability f fds with high calries makes it t easy t vereat.”
28．What d the researchers think is the best way t lwer preventable death rate?
A．Restricting junk fd.B．Trying t eat healthily.
C．Aviding risk factrs.D．Adpting high-calrie diets.
29．What’s the majr cncern f the current diet plicy?
A．The diversity f fd.
B．The imprtance f nutritius fd.
C．The reductin f unhealthy fd intake.
D．The balance between diet and exercise.
30．Which f the fllwing des Tm Sanders agree with?
A．The analysis verlks dietary integrity.
B．Overweight results frm diabetes and cancer.
C．Peple wh rarely exercise must diet strictly.
D．Particular dietary cmpnents lead t verweight.
31．Where is the text mst likely frm?
A．A prduct brchure.B．A ckbk.
C．A medical textbk.D．A health jurnal.

The Price f a Dream
I grew up pr in a family with little mney and few wrldly gds, but plenty f lve and attentin. I was happy and energetic. I understd that n matter hw pr a persn was, they culd still affrd a dream.
My dream was sprts. By the time I was sixteen, I culd crush a baseball, thrw a ninety-mile-per-hur fastball and hit anything that mved n the ftball field. I was als lucky: My high-schl cach was Ollie Jarvis, wh taught me the difference between sticking t a dream and just shwing determinatin. One particular incident with Cach Jarvis changed my life frever.
It was the summer between my junir and senir years, and a friend recmmended me fr a summer jb. This meant a chance fr mney in my pcket — cash fr hanging ut with friends, certainly, mney fr a new bike and new clthes, and the start f savings fr a huse fr my mther. The prspect f a summer jb was appealing, and I wanted t jump at the pprtunity.
Then I realized I wuld have t give up summer baseball t handle the wrk schedule, and that meant I wuld have t tell Cach Jarvis I wuldn’t be playing. I was fearing this, but I had t.
When I tld Cach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him t be. “Yu have yur whle life t wrk,” he said. “Yur playing days are limited. Yu can’t affrd t waste them.”
I std befre him with my head hanging, trying t think f the wrds that wuld explain t him why my dream f buying my mm a huse and having mney in my pcket was wrth facing his disappintment in me.
“Hw much are yu ging t make at this jb, kid?” he demanded. “Three twenty-five an hur,” I replied. “Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hur the price f a dream?”

(研究结果表明，拖延者可能很冲动，是个发愁的人，难以控制自己的情绪。但是拖延者并不懒惰。他们实际上忙着做其他事情，而不是他们应该做的事情。)”可知，专家们认为拖延症患者冲动而且焦虑（anxius.），管理不好自己的情绪，干活不偷懒，但是却是瞎忙。故选C项。

(当人们推迟一项艰巨的任务时，他们在那一刻感觉很好。拖延是一种避免与任务相关的负面情绪的方法。但它提供的缓解只是暂时的，许多人都在寻找停止拖延的方法。)”可知，拖延会使人短暂地从压力中解脱出来，避免与任务相关的负面情绪，所以导致人们拖延。故选A项。
27．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Fr sme prcrastinatrs, seemingly bvius tips can wrk. Researchers advise students t simply put dwn their smartphnes. Silencing ntificatins r studying in the library rather than at hme can regulate distractins and keep peple n task. But that wn’t be enugh fr many peple.

(对于一些拖延症患者来说，看似显而易见的建议是有效的。研究人员建议学生们放下智能手机。将通知静音或在图书馆学习，而不是在家里学习，可以控制干扰，让人们专注于工作。但这对很多人来说还不够。顽固的拖延症患者可能会从认知行为疗法中受益。这种类型的治疗，包括管理思想和情绪，并试图改变行为，似乎是最有帮助的。)”可知，相比于放下手机，选择适合的学习环境，包括了思想和情绪管理以及试图改变行为的认知行为疗法似乎是最有帮助的。故选D项。

Adptin f diets emphasizing beans and ther healthy plant surces f prtein, fr instance, will have imprtant benefits fr human health”可知，过去二十年的健康饮食策略强调减少脂肪、糖分和盐的摄入，而现在则要重视有营养、更健康的食物的摄入。故选B项。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Tm Sanders, a prfessr f nutritin and dietetics (饮食学), said the analysis put t much emphasis n individual cmpnents rather than the verall diet.”可知，在Tm看来，这项研究中的分析过分强调饮食中每种独立的部分的作用，但没有从整体角度关注饮食，由此判断出Tm Sanders可能同意“该分析忽略了饮食的完整性”故选A项。
31．推理判断题。根据文章第一句“Unhealthy diets are respnsible fr preventable deaths glbally per year, mre even than smking tbacc, accrding t a majr study.”一项重大研究表明，在全球范围内，不健康饮食每年造成的可预防死亡，甚至比吸烟还要多。并结合全文内容来看，都在围绕“健康饮食”这一主题在展开。由此判断出短文最可能是摘自健康类杂志。故选D项。

67． That questin struck me like a flash f lightning. I std there, staring at my furius cach and nticing that the light in his eyes suddenly went ut. Regret and shame verwhelmed me and I wished I had nt tld him the stupid idea. At that mment, I decided nt t give up my sprts dream and dedicated myself t regular training. That whle summer, I kept catching and pitching the ball n the curt, participating in every baseball game. At the end f the summer seasn came the lng-awaited award ceremny. Finally, Cach Jarvis annunced that I was elected as the best baseball player.
I went n the stage t cllect the prize fr the best baseball player. My legs were trembling and my head was dizzy. Standing in the center f the stage, I heard the crwd was cheering and I saw Cach Jarvis was smiling. He passed the micrphne t me and invited me t say a few wrds. “My fellws! Never give up yur dream!” I exclaimed with tears shining in my eyes. “Devtin and persistence will help yu realize yur dream!” I added, grabbing my trphy tightly. Cach Jarvis came clse t me, thrwing his arms arund me. “Thank yu! It is yu wh let me understand the value f a dream.” I murmured by his ears, my eyes verflwed with tears.
