【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文章介绍了5:2饮食法及其特点，同时指出长期减重成功需持续稳定的饮食方法，还强调了正念饮食在减重中的重要性，并提到了相关研究。
【1题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：5:2饮食法提供五天正常饮食“几乎不考虑卡路里控制”，每两天近乎禁食一次，此时你吃的是你建议的每日卡路里摄入量的四分之一，对女性来说是500卡路里，对男性来说是600卡路里。“_____ wrks ut as 500 calries fr wmen and 600 fr men”为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a quarter f yur recmmended daily calrie intake，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【2题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：5:2的概念不仅容易理解，而且也是一种可行的方法。nt nly置于句首，引起部分倒装，系动词is被置于主语the cncept f 5:2之前，原句语序为： cncept f 5:2 is easy _____ (grasp)为固定搭配；又因“主语+ be + adj. + t d…”为固定句型，该句型中形容词表明主语的特征或性质，句中动词不定式与主语之间存在动宾关系。本句中easy表明主语the cncept f 5:2的特征，动词grasp(理解)与主语是动宾关系，适用该固定句型。故填t grasp。
【3题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：从心理上来说，你知道你对自己不会太严格。根据句意，“你对你自己没有太严格”，主语和宾语一致，用反身代词yurself作宾语。故填yurself。
【4题详解】
考查介词。句意：报告一周内饮食一致的参与者在接下来的一年里将体重保持在2.2公斤以内的可能性是那些在工作日节食更严格的参与者的1.5倍。根据句意，表示“一周内”，可用介词acrss或者thrughut，意为“自始至终，贯穿整个时期”，强调整个一周。故填acrss/thrughut。
【5题详解】
考查情态动词。句意：所以，它可能在短期内有效，但看起来，一致性会让你在健康饮食的道路上坚持更长时间。根据后文“but cnsistency, it seems, will keep yu in the healthy eating game fr a lnger time”可知，它“可能”在短期内有效，应用情态动词may，表示可能性。故填may。
【6题详解】
考查固定句型。句意：“减少卡路里摄入量低于能量消耗，你的饮食就会成功，”Baic解释道。句中使用了“祈使句+and+陈述句”固定句型，意为“如果……，就……”，其中祈使句部分相当于一个条件状语从句；句首单词首字母大写。故填Reduce。
【7题详解】
考查连词。句意：一旦/如果你掌握了这一点，这就是一场心理游戏。根据句意，“yu’ve grasped this”是“it’s a mental game”的条件，用连词nce或者if引导条件状语从句；句首单词首字母大写。故填Once/If。
【8题详解】
考查形容词。句意：正念减肥是一个不断增长的研究领域。提示词修饰名词area，用形容词grwing作定语，意为“增加的；增长的”。故填grwing。
【9题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它一直是指导饮食计划背后的理论，这些计划鼓励追随者参加当地的团体。提示词guide(指导)修饰名词词组diet plans，作定语，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语diet plans之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填guided。
【10题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：正念，或者意识到你在吃什么，是成功故事中的一个关键因素。“_____ yu’re eating”是宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，表示“吃什么”，用连接代词what引导从句，作宾语。故填what。

Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
When peple take with them their wn expectatins abut tipping as they travel arund the wrld, it generates n small amunt f cnfusin. Nrwegians, wh cme frm a culture where wages are high and tips are lw, culd burn thrugh Las Vegas leaving a trail f utrage with their tiny fferings. Meanwhile, high-tipping Americans might ffend everyne in Tky because gd service in Japan is a matter f hnur, as in: “Hw dare yu suggest I be rewarded fr handing yu a plate f sashimi withut drpping it in yur lap?”
We’re all in an embarrassed mess because there’s n cnsistent lgic t any f this. Nne!
Tipping, as we knw it, started in Tudr England when nblemen visited each ther’s cuntry hmes and gave extra mney t the servants as a thank-yu fr helping them with their clthing. Hundreds f years later, the traditin has becme ttally randm. A recent study fund that peple are twice as likely t tip a grcery delivery persn than a grcery stre clerk, and rughly twice as likely t tip a waiter than a fast-fd restaurant wrker. Why is that? A paid jb is a paid jb, right? The grcery deliverer is paid t deliver and the grcery clerk is paid t clerk. S tipping ne and nt the ther nly makes sense in terms f what has becme custmary.
N ne expects a tip in much f Sutheast Asia r Australia, beynd saying “keep the change.” Cmpare that t the United States, where restaurant tips f up t 25 percent are nw expected fr very gd service; in Canada, it’s 15 t 20 percent. Smetimes, that t can feel tense. “Even when the server tells yu abut it up frnt, it’s awkward,” ne friend wh encuntered this custm said. “D yu tip mre if they were really gd? What if they weren’t gd?”
It’s enugh t make yur head hurt — but will we sn have t wrry abut tipping with bitcin? I dn’t even understand the ntin f cryptcurrency (数字加密货币), much less hw t use the new tipping apps that are ppping up arund it. Maybe that’s hw peple used t feel abut mney itself, back when they traded gds and services with shells and weapns and rice. Back when there was n tipping.
36. The first paragraph is intended t ______ .
A. emphasize the universal imprtance f tipping
B. illustrate the glbal variatins in tipping practices
C. argue that tipping custms are utdated in certain cultures
D. describe the ecnmic impact f tipping n different cuntries
37. By rigin, a tip was ______ .
A. a custmary part f grcery delivery
B. an expected payment fr essential services
C. a gesture f gratitude frm the upper class
D. a mdern cncept in cryptcurrency transactins
38. What can be learned abut Americans’ tipping practices frm the passage?
A. Americans are used t give tips wherever they g.
B Americans give fatter tips in restaurants than elsewhere.
C. Americans are generally unwilling but frced t give a tip.
D. Americans mainly tip thse wh prvide very gd service.
39. The authr mentin bitcin when talking abut tipping in rder t ______ .
A. argue that traditinal tipping methds are utdated
B. suggest that cryptcurrency may cmplicate tipping custms
C. criticize the idea f using virtual currency fr everyday purchase

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了全球范围内小费文化的差异、起源、现状以及未来可能的发展趋势（如使用数字货币支付小费）。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“When peple take with them their wn expectatins abut tipping as they travel arund the wrld, it generates n small amunt f cnfusin. Nrwegians, wh cme frm a culture where wages are high and tips are lw, culd burn thrugh Las Vegas leaving a trail f utrage with their tiny fferings. Meanwhile, high-tipping Americans might ffend everyne in Tky because gd service in Japan is a matter f hnur, as in: “Hw dare yu suggest I be rewarded fr handing yu a plate f sashimi withut drpping it in yur lap?”(当人们带着自己对小费的期望环游世界时，这会产生不小的困惑。挪威人来自一个工资高、小费低的文化背景，他们在拉斯维加斯可能会因为给的小费太少而招致一片愤慨。与此同时，出手阔绰的美国人在东京可能会得罪所有人，因为在日本，良好的服务是一种荣誉的象征，就好像在说：“你怎么敢暗示我为你递上一盘没掉到你腿上的生鱼片而索要报酬？”)”可知，本段通过挪威人和美国人在不同地方给予小费的习惯，来展示全球小费习惯的多样性。故选B。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Tipping, as we knw it, started in Tudr England when nblemen visited each ther’s cuntry hmes and gave extra mney t the servants as a thank-yu fr helping them with their clthing.(我们所知道的小费制度起源于都铎王朝时期的英格兰，当时贵族们互相拜访乡间宅邸，会给仆人一些额外的钱，以感谢他们帮忙整理衣物。)”可知，小费最初是上层阶级对仆人的一种感激之举。故选C。

(C)
Emtinal manipulatin (情感操控) has been referred t as the dark side f emtinal intelligence by psychlgical scientist Elizabeth Austin at the University f Edinburgh. But what des that mean? Austin and her clleagues created the Emtinal Manipulatin Scale in 2007. Accrding t the scale, peple wh are high n emtinal manipulatin say yes t behaving in ways that have n bvius negative cnsequences such as “I knw hw t embarrass smene t stp them behaving in a particular way”, and “I knw hw t play tw peple ff against each ther”.
Less bviusly negative behaviurs can als result in a high scre, including agreeing with statements like “I can pay smene cmpliments t get in their gd bks”, and “I am gd at reassuring peple s that they’re mre likely t g alng with what I say”. The researchers als fund that the higher peple scred n the Emtinal Manipulatin Scale the higher they scred n Machiavellianism, a trait that includes being cld, mrally indifferent, and manipulative.
Framing manipulatin as a bad thing that is nly dne by bad peple is, hwever, incrrect. There are many reasns why peple want t massage a scial situatin s that it wrks ut well fr themselves that dn’t result in negative cnsequences fr thers. Self-interest can agree with the interest f thers and can lead t prscial (亲社会的) behaviur. Fr example, smetimes I d things t make ther peple feel gd because I knw it will make me feel gd. It’s win-win.
This cmplexity is als what Austin and clleagues shwcased when in 2013 they created the Managing the Emtins f Others Scale n the basis f their riginal scale.
Mving frm the term “manipulatin” t “managing” encurages a different way f talking abut this type f behaviur. The mst recent shrt versin f the Managing the Emtins f Others Scale was published in 2018 by Austin and clleagues. It breaks dwn the diversity f ways in which peple try t emtinally manage peple int five types. The first tw are generally prscial, the third and furth are nn-prscial, and the fifth is cnsidered neutral.
Enhancing: strategically ffering help, reassurance, r shwing understanding t imprve smene’s md.
Diverting: being psitive r using humur t imprve smene’s md.
Wrsening: using criticism r negative cmments, undermining cnfidence, r being angry t gain smething.
Being inauthentic: flattering smene, sulking r guilt-tripping t get what yu want.
Cncealing: hiding hw yu really feel, particularly hiding negative emtins.
43. Accrding t the passage, what is the primary fcus f the Emtinal Manipulatin Scale?
A. Measuring the mral implicatins f emtinally manipulative behavirs.
B Defining the prscial aspects f emtinal manipulatin in a mdern way.
C. Identifying behavirs assciated with manipulating thers’ emtins psitively.
D. Assessing tendencies tward emtinal manipulatin thrugh certain behavirs.

“The bttm line f ur research is that peple can hld tw ppsing beliefs abut a prduct,” said Steve Psavac, Prfessr in Marketing at Vanderbilt University. “In the case f price, mst peple believe that lw prices mean gd value and that lw prices mean lw quality at the same time. ____48____”
“Cnsumers rarely have cmplete infrmatin. They use varius strategies t fill the gaps in their knwledge as they cnsider and chse prducts.” said Psavac and his c-authrs. “One f these strategies invlves using naive theries: infrmal cmmn sense, explanatins that cnsumers use t make sense f their envirnment. ”
____49____ In the research, when the quality f a prduct was marketed, cnsumers lked mre favrably upn mre expensive prducts. Hwever, when cmpanies fcused n value, a cheap prduct was rated mre highly in the pinin f cnsumers.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了价格对消费者购买决策的影响，指出消费者可能会将低价格视为产品质量低劣的信号，而这种看法取决于他们在购买产品时的思考方式。
【47题详解】
根据第一段最后一句“Which thery cnsumers fllw depends n what shppers think abut when making their decisin t buy a prduct. (消费者遵循哪种理论取决于购物者在做出购买决定时的想法。)”可知，前文应出现两种不同的消费者对低价的看法,这句中才会出现“哪种”这一说法。下一句“New research suggests that lw prices can backfire fr retailers, as cnsumers may interpret them as a sign f lw-quality prducts. (新的研究表明，对于零售商来说，低价可能会适得其反，因为消费者可能会将低价代表产品质量差。)”中已经表明了消费者对低价的第一种看法，本空处应当是与之不同的消费者对低价的另一种看法。D选项“然而，研究人员还发现，消费者也把便宜的价格看作是好交易的标志。”符合语境，故选D。
【48题详解】
前文“In the case f price, mst peple believe that lw prices mean gd value and that lw prices mean lw quality at the same time. (在价格问题上，大多数人同时相信低价格意味着高价值，并且低价格也意味着低质量。)”提到，大多数人会对低价有两种看法，A项“但是这两种信念并不是始终同等地存在于消费者的心中。”中也提到“这两种信念”与前文的内容构成转折关系，符合逻辑。故选A。
【49题详解】
下文“In the research, when the quality f a prduct was marketed, cnsumers lked mre favrably upn mre expensive prducts. (在研究中，产品的质量被市场推广时，消费者对价格更高的产品持有更积极的态度。)”中提到产品质量是市场宣传的重点，这是营销策略之一。C项“公司可以通过改进营销策略来影响消费者对低价的感受。”正好提到营销策略，与前文衔接。故选C。
【50题详解】
前文“A cmpany may implement an everyday lw-pricing strategy that manages t reduce brand value and push cnsumers away, if many f them believe that lw prices equal lw quality,” said Psavac. (波萨瓦克说：“如果许多消费者相信低价等于低质量，公司可能实施的每日低价策略有可能会降低品牌价值并推开消费者。”)”表明，低价不一定会吸引来消费者。E项“多年来，顾客已经对打折习以为常，以至于他们不再相信自己得到了一笔好交易。”为前文的说法提供了佐证。故选E。

The Silent Crridr Debate
At a secndary schl in Lndn, a new rule requires students t remain silent in the crridrs between classes, aiming t create a quieter, mre disciplined envirnment. The schl believes that minimizing nise during transitin times helps students maintain fcus and encurages a sense f rder, ultimately leading t better academic perfrmance. Hwever, this rule has received mixed reactins.
Supprters f the rule argue that silence in the crridrs can significantly reduce distractins. Nise frm talking students can carry int classrms, particularly in pen-plan layuts, disturbing thse wh are already fcused n their wrk. By enfrcing quiet crridrs, the schl hpes t prmte an envirnment where students can stay calm and fcused thrughut the day. Mrever, prpnents argue that this plicy teaches students valuable skills such as self-discipline and respect fr rules, which are beneficial nt nly in schl but als in their future prfessinal and persnal lives.
On the ther hand, critics believe that banning students frm talking in the crridrs is verly restrictive and can have negative effects n their scial develpment. They argue that schl is nt just a place fr academic learning but als an envirnment where students develp scial skills. Brief cnversatins in the crridrs ffer students a chance t cnnect with their peers, share ideas, and even seek help with subjects they find challenging. Critics wrry that rigid silence plicies make schls feel t cntrlled, ptentially dampening students’ enthusiasm and turning the learning envirnment int smething that feels mre like a prisn than a place f grwth and discvery.
This debate raises a larger questin abut discipline in schls: shuld they enfrce strict rules fr silence t imprve fcus, r allw sme scial interactin, even if it means mre nise? Finding the right balance is challenging. In the end, each schl may decide based n its gals and values, weighing the benefits f quiet fcus against the imprtance f scial cnnectins and student well- being.

If yu pur a spnful f sugar int a glass f cld water and stir, the sugar will disslve. Eventually, if yu keep adding sugar t the water it will stp disslving. Hwever, if the water is heated, mre sugar can be frced t disslve in the water, creating what is called a ‘supersaturated slutin’. As the water cls, the supersaturated slutin becmes unstable since it cntains mre sugar than it can hld. The sugar then starts t cme ut f the slutin and refrms as slid sugar crystals. As it takes less energy fr the sugar crystal s t frm n tp f ther crystals than t frm n their wn in the slutin, the sugar-rlled skewers act as seeds fr the new crystals t grw. As the sugar slutin cls and water dries up, mre sugar leaves the slutin, causing the crystals t grw larger.
