Fr the past 13 years, Martin Burrws has been wrking as a lng-distance truck driver. Spending up t five nights a week n the rad can be a lnely business, leaving him with plenty f time t ntice his surrundings. “I kept seeing mre rubbish everywhere and it was getting n my nerves. I decided I had t d smething abut it,” he says. One day, he stpped his vehicle, tk ut a trash bag and started picking up the garbage. The satisfactin after clearing a small area was remarkable.
Befre his time n the rad, Burrws spent ver tw decades in the military as a vehicle driver. His service saw him statined thrughut Eurpe and als n turs in Afghanistan. After returning t civilian life, he was diagnsed with PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) and had a mental health crisis in 2017. His invlvement in fundraising fr Help fr Heres led him t meet a man wh used mdel-building as a distractin frm PTSD. Burrws realized that his act f radside cleanup had a similar calming effect n his mental well-being.
By 2019, Burrws had begun using his free time n the rad t regularly clean up garbage. A passerby encuraged him t set up a Facebk grup, which he called Truckers Cleaning Up Britain. “I was wrried I’d be the laughing stck f my twn fr putting vides and phts up f me cleaning but peple started t jin,” he says. “I was amazed. The lcal cuncil stepped in and gave me litter-picking supplies and we’re up t almst 3,000 members nw.”
Since truckers are s ften n the mve, the Facebk page acts as a means f raising awareness rather than a platfrm fr rganizing cleanups. Burrws expressed his intentin t cntinue the cleanup effrts as lng as his physical cnditin allwed, as he still fund jy in the prcess.

Fr teenagers, is a sense f cmfrt mre cmmnly fund in sprts r arts? And hw might this relate t their reprted depressive symptms? A new research published by the American Psychlgical Assciatin suggests that teenagers participating in after-schl art activities like music, drama, and painting are mre likely t reprt depressive symptms than their nn-participating peers.
“This is nt t say that depressin is a necessary cnditin fr either a teen r an adult t becme an artist, nr are we shwing that participating in the arts leads t mental illness,” said lead authr Laura N. Yung. MA. f Bstn Cllege. “Hwever, previus research has revealed higher rates f mental illness symptms in adult artists. We were interested in whether this assciatin is present earlier in develpment.”
Interestingly, teens wh engaged exclusively in sprts and didn’t invlve themselves in any ther extracurricular activities were reprted the least depressive symptms. The researchers fund n significant difference in depressive symptms between teens invlved in the arts wh als did sprts and thse wh didn’t, suggesting that arts participatin, rather than a lack f sprts participatin, was assciated with depressin.
The researchers used data frm the U. S. Survey f Yuth cllected frm 2, 482 students 15 t 16 years ld. The survey asked teens abut their frequency f participatin in arts r sprts activities after schl, and their experience f varius mds r prblems related t depressin.
One thery the researchers prpsed fr the seeming link between the arts and mental illness symptms is that peple attracted t the arts might pssess certain cgnitive (认知的) qualities, such as absrbing a higher level f infrmatin frm their surrundings. This culd lead t general unhappiness and depressin, yet als enhance creativity and artistic expressin. The authrs suggested that persnality qualities linked t depressin, like intrversin (内向), might guide teens twards mre individual activities like the arts.
“When psitive behavirs such as being invlved in the arts are assciated with symptms f mental illness, it’s essential that we understand why,” said Yung. “Further research can address the questin f whether pssible psychlgical shrtcmings can be transfrmed int benefits thrugh the practice f the arts.”
8. What can we learn frm the research findings?
A. Art activities directly lead t teen mental illness.
B. Art participatin can be related t teen depressin.
C. Sprts are likely t increase depressin rates in teens.
D. Being depressed is necessary t becme an artist later.
9. Which has the clsest meaning with the underlined wrd “exclusively” in Paragraph 3?
A. nlyB. rarelyC. regularlyD. diversely
10. What is Paragraph 5 f the text mainly abut?
A. The verall framewrk f the research prject
B. The direct cause f the bserved phenmenn.
C. The theretical basis f the pssible cnnectin.
D. The methds applied in cnducting the research.
11. Accrding t Yung, what shuld fllw-up researches fcus n?
A. Hw t reduce depressive symptms thrugh sprts.
B. Hw t identify the psitive impacts f the assciatin.
C. Hw t prve the link between creativity and depressin.
D. Hw t turn ptential mental weaknesses int strengths.

Have yu nticed hw the price f nline purchases can increase at checkut? This is due t a strategy called “drip pricing,” cined by American ecnmist Richard Thaler in 1971. Drip pricing is a strategy where businesses gradually add extra charges t a custmer’s bill, making the initially advertised price rise.
This strategy takes advantage f custmers’ tendency t cmmit t a purchase when they see a lw riginal price. As extra fees are added, custmers ften cntinue with the purchase despite the increased cst due t their emtinal investment. Businesses, frm e-cmmerce stres t airlines, use this technique t significantly bst their prfits. The initial price f a prduct r service can sharply increase with the additin f varius csts. Fr example, a flight ticket can cnsiderably increase due t the inclusin f extra csts such as baggage fees, seating ptins, and access t express lanes.
Hwever, current laws seem inadequate in the face f these practices, resulting in calls fr new regulatins and clearer retailer respnsibilities. Dr. Jane De frm the Cnsumer Behavir Research Grup at the University f Cambridge fund that custmers’ knwledge plays an effective rle. “Our study shws that when custmers are infrmed abut drip pricing techniques, they are less likely t fall fr them, ultimately leading t mre cst-effective purchases,” Dr. De said.
The success f drip pricing depends n custmers nt knwing r accepting these extra csts. An interesting suggestin t fight these practices culd be the start f an annual event t highlight and criticize the wrst examples f drip pricing. Pssible award categries might include The Biggest Drip, Mst Uselessly Named Charge, and the Drplet Award fr multiple extra pricing add-ns. Such an event culd strengthen custmers and prmte penness in pricing, thereby challenging the success f drip pricing.
As we prgress int the era f digital cmmerce, the need fr transparency and fairness in pricing is becming increasingly imprtant. Cnsumer advcates argue that the key t fighting drip pricing lies nt nly in stricter laws and regulatins frm the gvernment but als in equipping cnsumers with the necessary knwledge and tls.
12. What des the term “drip pricing” refer t?
A. An utdated apprach applied in e-cmmerce pricing.
B. An in-depth study n the cntinual rise f business prices.
C. A pricing strategy invlving added csts t the initial price.
D. A cst reductin technique cmmnly emplyed in airlines.
13. What drives custmers t prceed with a purchase even as csts increase?
A. Fear f lsing previus rders.B. Restrictins frm acts and laws
C. Emtinal cmmitment t the prduct.D. Unawareness f the additinal charges.
14. Accrding t Dr. Jane De, hw t prtect cnsumers frm drip pricing?
A. By enfrcing clear new lawsB. By prviding cnsumer educatin.
C. By prmting cst-effective shpping.D. By rganizing challenging annual events
15. What can be inferred frm paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. Annual events will award successful drip pricing.
B. Ignring drip pricing is an effective way t resist it.
C. Cnsumer advcates need supprt frm the media.
D. Cnsumers and authrities shuld make jint effrts.

Fr teenagers, is a sense f cmfrt mre cmmnly fund in sprts r arts? And hw might this relate t their reprted depressive symptms? A new research published by the American Psychlgical Assciatin suggests that teenagers participating in after-schl art activities like music, drama, and painting are mre likely t reprt depressive symptms than their nn-participating peers.
“This is nt t say that depressin is a necessary cnditin fr either a teen r an adult t becme an artist, nr are we shwing that participating in the arts leads t mental illness,” said lead authr Laura N. Yung. MA. f Bstn Cllege. “Hwever, previus research has revealed higher rates f mental illness symptms in adult artists. We were interested in whether this assciatin is present earlier in develpment.”
Interestingly, teens wh engaged exclusively in sprts and didn’t invlve themselves in any ther extracurricular activities were reprted the least depressive symptms. The researchers fund n significant difference in depressive symptms between teens invlved in the arts wh als did sprts and thse wh didn’t, suggesting that arts participatin, rather than a lack f sprts participatin, was assciated with depressin.
The researchers used data frm the U. S. Survey f Yuth cllected frm 2, 482 students 15 t 16 years ld. The survey asked teens abut their frequency f participatin in arts r sprts activities after schl, and their experience f varius mds r prblems related t depressin.
One thery the researchers prpsed fr the seeming link between the arts and mental illness symptms is that peple attracted t the arts might pssess certain cgnitive (认知的) qualities, such as absrbing a higher level f infrmatin frm their surrundings. This culd lead t general unhappiness and depressin, yet als enhance creativity and artistic expressin. The authrs suggested that persnality qualities linked t depressin, like intrversin (内向), might guide teens twards mre individual activities like the arts.
“When psitive behavirs such as being invlved in the arts are assciated with symptms f mental illness, it’s essential that we understand why,” said Yung. “Further research can address the questin f whether pssible psychlgical shrtcmings can be transfrmed int benefits thrugh the practice f the arts.”
8. What can we learn frm the research findings?
A. Art activities directly lead t teen mental illness.
B. Art participatin can be related t teen depressin.
C. Sprts are likely t increase depressin rates in teens.
D. Being depressed is necessary t becme an artist later.
9. Which has the clsest meaning with the underlined wrd “exclusively” in Paragraph 3?
A. nlyB. rarelyC. regularlyD. diversely
10. What is Paragraph 5 f the text mainly abut?
A. The verall framewrk f the research prject
B. The direct cause f the bserved phenmenn.
C. The theretical basis f the pssible cnnectin.
D. The methds applied in cnducting the research.
11. Accrding t Yung, what shuld fllw-up researches fcus n?
A. Hw t reduce depressive symptms thrugh sprts.
B. Hw t identify the psitive impacts f the assciatin.
C. Hw t prve the link between creativity and depressin.

Have yu nticed hw the price f nline purchases can increase at checkut? This is due t a strategy called “drip pricing,” cined by American ecnmist Richard Thaler in 1971. Drip pricing is a strategy where businesses gradually add extra charges t a custmer’s bill, making the initially advertised price rise.
This strategy takes advantage f custmers’ tendency t cmmit t a purchase when they see a lw riginal price. As extra fees are added, custmers ften cntinue with the purchase despite the increased cst due t their emtinal investment. Businesses, frm e-cmmerce stres t airlines, use this technique t significantly bst their prfits. The initial price f a prduct r service can sharply increase with the additin f varius csts. Fr example, a flight ticket can cnsiderably increase due t the inclusin f extra csts such as baggage fees, seating ptins, and access t express lanes.
Hwever, current laws seem inadequate in the face f these practices, resulting in calls fr new regulatins and clearer retailer respnsibilities. Dr. Jane De frm the Cnsumer Behavir Research Grup at the University f Cambridge fund that custmers’ knwledge plays an effective rle. “Our study shws that when custmers are infrmed abut drip pricing techniques, they are less likely t fall fr them, ultimately leading t mre cst-effective purchases,” Dr. De said.
The success f drip pricing depends n custmers nt knwing r accepting these extra csts. An interesting suggestin t fight these practices culd be the start f an annual event t highlight and criticize the wrst examples f drip pricing. Pssible award categries might include The Biggest Drip, Mst Uselessly Named Charge, and the Drplet Award fr multiple extra pricing add-ns. Such an event culd strengthen custmers and prmte penness in pricing, thereby challenging the success f drip pricing.
As we prgress int the era f digital cmmerce, the need fr transparency and fairness in pricing is becming increasingly imprtant. Cnsumer advcates argue that the key t fighting drip pricing lies nt nly in stricter laws and regulatins frm the gvernment but als in equipping cnsumers with the necessary knwledge and tls.
12. What des the term “drip pricing” refer t?
A. An utdated apprach applied in e-cmmerce pricing.
B. An in-depth study n the cntinual rise f business prices.
C. A pricing strategy invlving added csts t the initial price.
D. A cst reductin technique cmmnly emplyed in airlines.
13. What drives custmers t prceed with a purchase even as csts increase?
A. Fear f lsing previus rders.B. Restrictins frm acts and laws
C. Emtinal cmmitment t the prduct.D. Unawareness f the additinal charges.
14. Accrding t Dr. Jane De, hw t prtect cnsumers frm drip pricing?
A. By enfrcing clear new lawsB. By prviding cnsumer educatin.
C. By prmting cst-effective shpping.D. By rganizing challenging annual events
15. What can be inferred frm paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. Annual events will award successful drip pricing.
B. Ignring drip pricing is an effective way t resist it.
C. Cnsumer advcates need supprt frm the media.
D. Cnsumers and authrities shuld make jint effrts.

考查过去分词和状语从句的省略。句意：人们已经认识到中医的潜在益处，特别是与现代医学一起使用时，它已越来越多地融入现代医疗保健系统。在when引导的时间状语从句中，主语和主句相同，所以从句中可以省略主语和系动词，动词use意为“使用”，和主语构成被动关系，所以应用过去分词形式。故填used。
【44题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：尽管起源于中国古代，但中医的原理和实践目前在全球具有影响力，专家们在世界各地提供他们的特殊技能。在with的复合结构中，动词ffer意为“提供”，和逻辑主语experts构成主动关系，所以应用现在分词形式。故填ffering。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：随着对中医的研究不断推进，越来越多的人接受中医来满足他们的医疗需求，这个领域肯定会增长。be definite t d意为“肯定做某事”，此处应用形容词definite表示“肯定的”作表语。故填definite。
