As a child, I was prud f my suthern rigin. My wn vice reflected my family’s past and present-part nrthern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all suthern. There was n sund I lved mre than my grandmther’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While grwing up, I began t realize utside f ur regin, sutherners were ften dismissed as uncultured and ignrant. I was ready t leave behind my tiny twn in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in sme far-ff cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbl f everything I thught I hated abut my life in the rural Suth. I feared it wuld disqualify me frm being a nted magazine writer. I wuld have t talk less “cuntry”. S I killed a piece f myself. I’m ashamed f it, but I’m mre ashamed that I tried t kill that part f smene else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in cllege. She was determined t wrk fr the student newspaper, which was where I spent mst f my waking hurs, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her rts. Early in ur friendship, her mther asked where I was frm, assuming it was smewhere up nrth. Then I felt my effrts paid ff and even wanted t ignre the mistake.
Emily is tw years yunger and she cared abut my pinin. I advised her t be mre like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that thrughut ur cllege years, ften by making fun f her vwel(元音)sunds. I tld myself I was helping her achieve her dream f wrking as a reprter. Nw, I see that it was actually abut justifying my hiding part f myself.
Grandma Carlyn used t tell me, “Girl, dn’t frget where yu cme frm.” Nw I truly understand that. Many things have faded frm memry, but this sticks in my mind with uncmfrtable clarity. Nw that I am grwn and have left the Suth, it’s imprtant t me.
What made the authr want t leave her hmetwn?
A. Appeal f cnvenience in cities.B. Her dream f becming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against sutherners.D. Her desire fr the nrthern accent.
25. Hw did the authr feel abut the mistake f Emily’s mther?
A. Upset.B. Pleased.
C. Ashamed.D. Surprised.
26. Why n earth did the authr try t change Emily’s accent?
A. T prve herself right.B. T help Emily be a reprter.
C. T make herself influential.D. T prtect Emily’s self-dignity.
27. What message des the text want t cnvey?
A. Stay true t yur rts.B. Never d things by halves.
C. Hld n t yur dreams.D. Never judge a persn by his accent.

We knw that China is the largest and fastestgrwing cnsumer market in the wrld. What is less well understd are the frces that shape cnsumerism in the wrld's mst ppulus cuntry. In my view, there are sme scial and cultural aspects at play that drive cnsumer spending.
Cnsumerism is related t freedm. T have a chice means t have the cnsumer chice. Yu are what yu cnsume. Cnsumptin is an expressin f self. It allws yu t explre the wrld thrugh its prducts, t experiment with lifestyle chices, and t d s safely and annymusly(匿名地). Yu might never get t France, but yu can try French wine. Califrnia might be far, but yu can g t Shanghai Disneyland. Indeed, the enthusiasm fr chice is reflected in the enthusiasm Chinese cnsumers have fr nline shpping.
Cnsumerism is a statement f success. American ecnmist Thrstein Veblen ppularized the cncept f “cnspicuus cnsumptin”. When cnsumptin is n lnger driven nly by need, it becmes a way f making a statement that yu have dispsable(可自由支配的) incme and yu can — at least in certain respects — enjy life n yur terms. Simple pleasures — a pair f shes, a smartphne, designer clthing — becme statements f persnal identity.
The cllective experience is fcused. We like participating in grup events. FOMO, the Fear f Missing Out, ges beynd cultures. But I suspect this trend is strnger in China than in the West because Cnfucian culture des nt celebrate utsiders as the West's culture des. Scial media reinfrce(强化) this cllective pattern s that shpping and dining are shared experiences. Opinins are crwdsurced. And the merchants reinfrce this pattern by supprting hliday sales, grup buying, and ther prmtins.
Successful brands in China are able t handle mst r all f the abve cnsideratins. The cnsumer must nt nly be delighted with yur prduct. The jurney f the cnsumer must als respect these scicultural aspects.
28．What's mainly talked abut in the passage?
A．Chinese are grwing wealthier.
B．China's fastgrwing market ecnmy.
C．Chinese scicultural influences n cnsumerism.
D．Chinese cnsumers' preference fr quality rather than quantity.
29．What des Paragraph 2 fcus n?
A．Shpping nline is a new experience.
B．Cnsumptin can be a reflectin f freedm.
C．Freign prducts can be purchased in China.
D．Shpping arund the wrld is a favrable chice.
30．What d the underlined wrds “cnspicuus cnsumptin” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．The ability t cver ne's real need in daily life.
B．Spending mney in rder t keep up with thers.
C．The purchase f expensive items t display status.
D．Buying abundant gds and delivering them t thers.
31．Why des the authr suspect FOMO is strnger in China?
A．Scial media play a bigger rle in their lives.
B．Fllwing the trend is what peple like better.
C．Chinese peple have less cntact with the strangers.
D．Cnfucian culture is less likely t appreciate utsiders.

Fr generatins, depressin has been seen as an illness, disrder r even weakness. Such an idea makes sense because depressin causes suffering and even death. But what if we’ve gt it all wrng?
The cmmn wisdm is that depressin starts in the mind with abnrmal thinking. That leads t symptms like headaches, stmachaches, r tiredness. Nw, mdels like the Plyvagal Thery suggest that we've gt it backward. It's the bdy that detects danger and initiates a defense strategy meant t help us survive. That bilgical strategy is called immbilizatin, and it demnstrates in the mind and the bdy with a set f symptms we call depressin.
When we think f depressin as unnecessary suffering, we are telling peple with depressin that they are nt part f the grup, they are nt right and they dn' t belng. That rbs them f hpe. But when we begin t understand that depressin, at least initially, happens fr a gd reasn we lift the shame. Instead, peple with depressin are curageus survivrs, nt damaged sick peple.
The autnmic nervus system (ANS) is cnstantly scanning ur internal and external envirnment fr signs f danger. If ur ANS detects a threat r even a simple lack f safety, its next strategy is the fight r flight respnse, which we ften feel as anxiety. Smetimes the threat is s bad r ges n fr s lng, that the nervus system decides there is n way t fight r t flee. At that pint, there is nly ne ptin left: immbilizatin.
The immbilizatin respnse is the riginal bilgical defense in higher animals. It dulls pain and makes us feel discnnected. Think f sme reptiles (爬行动物), which shut dwn their bdies t avid cld temperatures and the lack f fd and water. In humans, peple ften describe feeling “ut f their bdies" during extremely unpleasant events, which has a defensive effect f reducing the emtinal shck. This is imprtant because sme things are s terrible, we dn't want peple t be fully present when they happen. What incredible capacity f ur bilgy t find a way in hard times!
32. Why des the authr mentin the Plyvagal Thery?
A. T ffer a standard fr identifying depressin.
B. T raise peple's awareness f mental prblems.
C. T make sense f hw depressin affects peple.
D. T crrect a cmmnly held idea abut depressin.
33. What can we infer frm paragraph 3?
A. Depressin can bring peple in crisis hpe.
B. Peple may feel it wrng t have depressin.
C. Depressin is an unnecessary human emtin.
D. Peple ften feel prud f fighting depressin.
34. What is “immbilizatin” in the text?
A. Building up anxiety.B. Fighting fr a crisis.
C. Shutting dwn actin.D. Thinking abnrmal.
35. In which rder des ur bdy react t an extremely unpleasant situatin?
①seek t wrk ut slutins
②becme aware f a threat
③suffer emtinal shck
④start defensive discnnectin
②③④①B.④②①③C.②①③④D.④①②③
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Can yu tell the difference between a glass f regular and diet sda? N, yu can't. 36 . That's where the truble starts. Until recently, everything we have eaten cntains sme amunt f calries.
S when we drink diet sda, the sweetness tricks ur bdy int thinking it's real sugar but when thse energy packed calries dn't arrive, the insulin in ur brain has nthing t stre.
37 . It's called metablic syndrme, which is a mix f cnditins that include increased bld pressure, high bld sugar and weight gain which can increase the risk f diabetes, heart disease and strkes.
While drinking diet sda with the meal may sund like a tasty calriefree alternative t plain water, this may be the wrst time t drink it because the cheating calries in the diet sda culd finally destry the real calries we metablize. 38 .
Anther prblem culd be the fact that artificial sweeteners in diet sda can be 10 t 100 times sweeter than sugar. 39 . It's like when yu g t a party expecting lads f fd and yu end up with a handful f vegetables. Yu're left unsatisfied and hungry.
In the same way, artificial sweeteners can leave ur brains wanting mre, which leads t increased appetite and ptential weight gain. 40 ， maybe just stick t water.
A．As it turns ut, neither can yur bdy
B．N, this was diet sda and it was awesme
C．When yu g t a party expecting lads f fd
D．Drinking diet sda is assciated with a disease
E．S if yu're drinking diet sda t drp a few punds
F．And it ptentially leaves extra calries behind which we then stre as fat
G．S when we taste it, ur brains expect mre calries than what we give it

As a child, I was prud f my suthern rigin. My wn vice reflected my family’s past and present-part nrthern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all suthern. There was n sund I lved mre than my grandmther’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While grwing up, I began t realize utside f ur regin, sutherners were ften dismissed as uncultured and ignrant. I was ready t leave behind my tiny twn in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in sme far-ff cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbl f everything I thught I hated abut my life in the rural Suth. I feared it wuld disqualify me frm being a nted magazine writer. I wuld have t talk less “cuntry”. S I killed a piece f myself. I’m ashamed f it, but I’m mre ashamed that I tried t kill that part f smene else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in cllege. She was determined t wrk fr the student newspaper, which was where I spent mst f my waking hurs, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her rts. Early in ur friendship, her mther asked where I was frm, assuming it was smewhere up nrth. Then I felt my effrts paid ff and even wanted t ignre the mistake.
Emily is tw years yunger and she cared abut my pinin. I advised her t be mre like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that thrughut ur cllege years, ften by making fun f her vwel(元音)sunds. I tld myself I was helping her achieve her dream f wrking as a reprter. Nw, I see that it was actually abut justifying my hiding part f myself.
Grandma Carlyn used t tell me, “Girl, dn’t frget where yu cme frm.” Nw I truly understand that. Many things have faded frm memry, but this sticks in my mind with uncmfrtable clarity. Nw that I am grwn and have left the Suth, it’s imprtant t me.
What made the authr want t leave her hmetwn?
A. Appeal f cnvenience in cities.B. Her dream f becming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against sutherners.D. Her desire fr the nrthern accent.
25. Hw did the authr feel abut the mistake f Emily’s mther?
A. Upset.B. Pleased.
C. Ashamed.D. Surprised.
26. Why n earth did the authr try t change Emily’s accent?
A. T prve herself right.B. T help Emily be a reprter.
C. T make herself influential.D. T prtect Emily’s self-dignity.
27. What message des the text want t cnvey?
A. Stay true t yur rts.B. Never d things by halves.
C. Hld n t yur dreams.D. Never judge a persn by his accent.

We knw that China is the largest and fastestgrwing cnsumer market in the wrld. What is less well understd are the frces that shape cnsumerism in the wrld's mst ppulus cuntry. In my view, there are sme scial and cultural aspects at play that drive cnsumer spending.
Cnsumerism is related t freedm. T have a chice means t have the cnsumer chice. Yu are what yu cnsume. Cnsumptin is an expressin f self. It allws yu t explre the wrld thrugh its prducts, t experiment with lifestyle chices, and t d s safely and annymusly(匿名地). Yu might never get t France, but yu can try French wine. Califrnia might be far, but yu can g t Shanghai Disneyland. Indeed, the enthusiasm fr chice is reflected in the enthusiasm Chinese cnsumers have fr nline shpping.
Cnsumerism is a statement f success. American ecnmist Thrstein Veblen ppularized the cncept f “cnspicuus cnsumptin”. When cnsumptin is n lnger driven nly by need, it becmes a way f making a statement that yu have dispsable(可自由支配的) incme and yu can — at least in certain respects — enjy life n yur terms. Simple pleasures — a pair f shes, a smartphne, designer clthing — becme statements f persnal identity.
The cllective experience is fcused. We like participating in grup events. FOMO, the Fear f Missing Out, ges beynd cultures. But I suspect this trend is strnger in China than in the West because Cnfucian culture des nt celebrate utsiders as the West's culture des. Scial media reinfrce(强化) this cllective pattern s that shpping and dining are shared experiences. Opinins are crwdsurced. And the merchants reinfrce this pattern by supprting hliday sales, grup buying, and ther prmtins.
Successful brands in China are able t handle mst r all f the abve cnsideratins. The cnsumer must nt nly be delighted with yur prduct. The jurney f the cnsumer must als respect these scicultural aspects.
28．What's mainly talked abut in the passage?
A．Chinese are grwing wealthier.
B．China's fastgrwing market ecnmy.
C．Chinese scicultural influences n cnsumerism.
D．Chinese cnsumers' preference fr quality rather than quantity.
29．What des Paragraph 2 fcus n?
A．Shpping nline is a new experience.
B．Cnsumptin can be a reflectin f freedm.
C．Freign prducts can be purchased in China.
D．Shpping arund the wrld is a favrable chice.
30．What d the underlined wrds “cnspicuus cnsumptin” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．The ability t cver ne's real need in daily life.
B．Spending mney in rder t keep up with thers.
C．The purchase f expensive items t display status.
D．Buying abundant gds and delivering them t thers.
31．Why des the authr suspect FOMO is strnger in China?
A．Scial media play a bigger rle in their lives.
B．Fllwing the trend is what peple like better.
C．Chinese peple have less cntact with the strangers.
D．Cnfucian culture is less likely t appreciate utsiders.

Fr generatins, depressin has been seen as an illness, disrder r even weakness. Such an idea makes sense because depressin causes suffering and even death. But what if we’ve gt it all wrng?
The cmmn wisdm is that depressin starts in the mind with abnrmal thinking. That leads t symptms like headaches, stmachaches, r tiredness. Nw, mdels like the Plyvagal Thery suggest that we've gt it backward. It's the bdy that detects danger and initiates a defense strategy meant t help us survive. That bilgical strategy is called immbilizatin, and it demnstrates in the mind and the bdy with a set f symptms we call depressin.
When we think f depressin as unnecessary suffering, we are telling peple with depressin that they are nt part f the grup, they are nt right and they dn' t belng. That rbs them f hpe. But when we begin t understand that depressin, at least initially, happens fr a gd reasn we lift the shame. Instead, peple with depressin are curageus survivrs, nt damaged sick peple.
The autnmic nervus system (ANS) is cnstantly scanning ur internal and external envirnment fr signs f danger. If ur ANS detects a threat r even a simple lack f safety, its next strategy is the fight r flight respnse, which we ften feel as anxiety. Smetimes the threat is s bad r ges n fr s lng, that the nervus system decides there is n way t fight r t flee. At that pint, there is nly ne ptin left: immbilizatin.
The immbilizatin respnse is the riginal bilgical defense in higher animals. It dulls pain and makes us feel discnnected. Think f sme reptiles (爬行动物), which shut dwn their bdies t avid cld temperatures and the lack f fd and water. In humans, peple ften describe feeling “ut f their bdies" during extremely unpleasant events, which has a defensive effect f reducing the emtinal shck. This is imprtant because sme things are s terrible, we dn't want peple t be fully present when they happen. What incredible capacity f ur bilgy t find a way in hard times!
32. Why des the authr mentin the Plyvagal Thery?
A. T ffer a standard fr identifying depressin.
B. T raise peple's awareness f mental prblems.
C. T make sense f hw depressin affects peple.
D. T crrect a cmmnly held idea abut depressin.
33. What can we infer frm paragraph 3?
A. Depressin can bring peple in crisis hpe.
B. Peple may feel it wrng t have depressin.
C. Depressin is an unnecessary human emtin.
D. Peple ften feel prud f fighting depressin.
34. What is “immbilizatin” in the text?
A. Building up anxiety.B. Fighting fr a crisis.
C. Shutting dwn actin.D. Thinking abnrmal.
35. In which rder des ur bdy react t an extremely unpleasant situatin?
①seek t wrk ut slutins
②becme aware f a threat
③suffer emtinal shck
④start defensive discnnectin
②③④①B.④②①③C.②①③④D.④①②③

Can yu tell the difference between a glass f regular and diet sda? N, yu can't. 36 . That's where the truble starts. Until recently, everything we have eaten cntains sme amunt f calries.
S when we drink diet sda, the sweetness tricks ur bdy int thinking it's real sugar but when thse energy packed calries dn't arrive, the insulin in ur brain has nthing t stre.
37 . It's called metablic syndrme, which is a mix f cnditins that include increased bld pressure, high bld sugar and weight gain which can increase the risk f diabetes, heart disease and strkes.
While drinking diet sda with the meal may sund like a tasty calriefree alternative t plain water, this may be the wrst time t drink it because the cheating calries in the diet sda culd finally destry the real calries we metablize. 38 .
Anther prblem culd be the fact that artificial sweeteners in diet sda can be 10 t 100 times sweeter than sugar. 39 . It's like when yu g t a party expecting lads f fd and yu end up with a handful f vegetables. Yu're left unsatisfied and hungry.
