Have yu ever wndered abut the layut(布局) f supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, attracting yu t walk thrugh each aisle and fill yur shpping cart withut even realizing it.
Grcery stre design is a carefully crafted art frm bth psychlgical and marketing standpints, accrding t Reeves Cnnelly, wh studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained that there is a specific reasn why fruit and vegetables are ften lcated at the frnt f the stre, “Yu’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hpefully feel less guilty abut buying junk fd later n.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back f the stre t ensure custmers walk thrugh ther aisles with many unhealthy chices like snacks and sdas, pssibly increasing the likelihd f impulse(冲动) purchases.
There’s als a reasn why yu ften feel lst in lcal supermarkets. Shckingly, they mve things arund. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies becme less effective after yu visit the stre a few times and get a better sense f where everything is, s they’ll regularly mve the prducts t different aisles t cnfuse yu. The practice is nt limited t a specific stre but is used acrss varius shps.”
“Their little tricks always wrk n me,” ne regular shpper admits. “I walk in t get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grcery shpping,” he said. On the ther hand, sme shppers are prud t declare they have never fallen int the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shpping list n me,” anther shpper shared. “I’ve started having my grceries delivered. If I have t g t the stre, I never grab a shpping cart. If I can’t carry it, I’m nt buying it,” he added.
28. What is the purpse f the supermarket layut?

“Reduce, reuse, recycle”, these are the three Rs that waste envirnmental activists have advcated(提倡). But hw can we realize them? Recently, this idea came t life in China in a smart way at the Mingsha Muntain Crescent Spring scenic spt in Dunhuang, Nrthwest China’s Gansu Prvince.
During the turist seasn, the scenic spt f Dunhuang has been flded with visitrs — arund 20, 000 a day since July. The challenge f managing waste has becme mre pressing. In respnse, the scenic area has intrduced an initiative(倡议): “Trash hunt fr gifts.” Here’s hw it wrks: Visitrs are given trash bags and encuraged t pick up litter arund the site. In return, they receive small gifts featuring Dunhuang’s rich cultural heritage.
Inspired by the initiative, I thught, “Isn’t this anther splendid frm f the three Rs principle?” I still remember ging t sme scenic spts, especially histrical sites where peple gather in a small area, and seeing hw littering is smething we always have t struggle with. Nt nly des it influence the cleanliness f a site, but it als threatens the natural envirnment. Once I saw a family wh had just arrived, eagerly filling their trash bags with litter. The children were excited t trade their cllected trash fr gifts, and their parents prudly explained hw their small actins cntributed t a cleaner, mre enjyable experience fr everyne. This interactin created a sense f cmmunity and shared purpse amng the visitrs.
The “Trash hunt fr gifts” campaign(活动) des mre than just cleaning up the area. It turns every visitr int an envirnmental activist, taking an active part in preserving the beauty f the site. This cncept is als nt unique t Dunhuang. Similar initiatives are seen acrss China: in Jiangxi’s Wu-kung Muntain, in Nrtheast China’s Xi’an Lin Tng, all arund. These effrts highlight a grwing trend(趋势) where turists dn’t just visit — they cntribute. As we cntinue t explre and enjy these natural wnders, it’s encuraging t see that many are als stepping up t prtect them.
32. Why has the initiative “Trash hunt fr gifts” been intrduced in Dunhuang’s scenic spt?
A. T cntrl the number f flding turists. B. T relieve the pressure f cleaning-up.
C. T raise the awareness f wildlife prtectin.D. T prmte the develpment f lcal ecnmy.
33. Why des the authr mentin a family in the third paragraph?
A. T explain hw the initiative wrks. B. T shw that his thught was wrng at first.
C. T prve that the initiative is really a gd idea. D. T highlight the gd educatin given t the children.
34. Which is true accrding t the text?
A. Dunhuang is nt alne in the campaign “Trash hunt fr gifts”.
B. Dunhuang takes the lead in the campaign “Trash hunt fr gifts”.
C. Dunhuang is catching up in the campaign “Trash hunt fr gifts”.
D. Dunhuang teams up with ther places in the campaign “Trash hunt fr gifts”.
35. Which is the best title f the text?

Accrding t a 2024 attentin study by King’s Cllege Lndn, 49% f the UK public are experiencing “ppcrn(爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attentin and wandering thughts. 36 In respnse t the findings, psychlgist Tina Chummun gives her tp tips.
Adpt the mind map methd. T manage a distracted(分心的) mind, write dwn everything, like appintments, wrries and t - ds, withut rganizing it initially. Once everything is n paper, grup these int life areas like wrk r emtinal wellbeing. 37 This creates rder and gives yur brain permissin t cncentrate.
Every time yu feel yur thughts wandering, give yurself three secnds — breathe in, name what yu’re feeling, and redirect yur fcus. 38 By ding s, yu may turn dwn the heat when yur brain is wrking vertime.
Minimizing(使最小化) tech is als the key t getting back n track in yur daily life. A full digital withdrawal(不再使用) is unrealistic. 39 Then it culd be fllwed by a five-minute screen time reward. It teaches yur brain t tlerate stillness withut feeling punished.
40 At first, yu may feel bred, as ppcrn brain likes being ‘g g g’ t feel safe. “G fr a walk withut music, r simply stare ut yur windw,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and bserve yur thughts. Let yur brain breathe. It is smetimes exactly what yur nervus system needs.”
S, are yu ready t quiet the mental ppcrn and get yur fcus back?
A. Allw ce in yur day fr ding nthing.
B. S, what’s making ur brains pp like ppcrn?
C. Instead, g ttally screen-free fr 25-30 minutes.
D. Starving distractins and feeding fcus is a nice idea.
E. Then ask yurself: what matters nw and what can wait?
F. They feel their attentin less fcused and deep thinking rarer.
G. This practice enables yu t slw dwn and manage emtins.

My friend Carle’s birthday was appraching and I wndered what t give her as a gift. I had tw pts f beautiful flwers and I knew Carle liked flwers. Hwever, the tw pts f flwers were rare and I brught them frm a frest very far away, which tk me great effrt. S, I hesitated.

A sales clerk hurried t my side. “Perhaps yu’d like t try ne f them ut,” she suggested. I pened the attractive umbrella. Underneath it, I felt wnderfully carefree and sheltered frm the whle wrld. But with new things t buy, there was n mney fr expensive umbrellas. Besides, even if I culd affrd ne, it wuldn’t be a practical purchase. Back in the secnd grade, I had nce eyed a beautiful, pink umbrella in a department stre windw. “I need a beautiful umbrella,” I said t my mther. “N, yu need a practical umbrella,” she said. “Besides, yu might lse it.” With tears in my eyes, I put dwn that pink umbrella!
Cming back frm my memry, I tld the clerk, “Thanks fr shwing me the umbrella.” Then, I headed next dr t the quilt shp, a few steps ahead f Carle.

【读后续写导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者在购物时被一把漂亮的伞吸引，但因为不实用而放弃购买。Carle注意到了这一点，并在作者不知情的情况下买下了伞作为生日礼物送给作者。作者深受感动，决定将自己珍贵的花送给Carle作为回报。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当她的脚步赶上我的脚步时，我注意到她腋下夹着一个又长又细的盒子。”可知，第一段可描写作者打开盒子后的反应和心情
②由第二段首句内容“回到家，我拿着卡罗尔送的伞，走向我的花。”可知，第二段可描写作者给Carle送花的过程以及感悟。
续写线索：打开盒子——作者感动——送花——Carle很快乐——作者的感悟
When her steps caught up with mine, I nticed a lng, thin bx under her arm. “What’s that?” I asked, curius. Carle smiled mysteriusly and handed me the bx. “Open it,” she said. Inside was the very umbrella I had admired in the stre. “Happy early birthday!” Carle exclaimed. I was speechless. “But… hw did yu knw?” I stammered. “I saw the way yu lked at it,” she replied. “I wanted t give yu smething special, just like yu always d fr me.” Tears welled up in my eyes as I hugged her tightly. “Thank yu, Carle. This means s much t me.”
Back hme, I tk the umbrella sent by Carle and walked twards my flwers. I realized that the jy f giving was far greater than the effrt it tk t btain thse flwers. With a smile, I carefully dug up ne f the pts and placed it in a beautiful gift bag. The next day, I visited Carle and handed her the bag. “Happy birthday, Carle,” I said. Her eyes lit up as she saw the rare flwers. “These are beautiful! Thank yu s much!” she shuted excitedly. As we sat tgether, admiring ur gifts, I felt a deep sense f gratitude fr ur friendship and the simple jys it brught int ur lives.

【七选五导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以伦敦国王学院2024年的一项注意力研究为切入点，指出英国49%的公众正受“爆米花大脑”（注意力分散、思绪飘忽的精神状态）困扰，随后心理学家蒂娜·丘蒙针对该问题提出了思维导图法、思绪回归训练、减少科技使用、留白独处等四条实用解决建议。
36题上文说49%的英国公众正经历“爆米花大脑”(注意力分散、思绪飘忽),下文是心理学家蒂娜·丘蒙针给出的顶级建议。F项“他们感觉自己的注意力不太集中，深度思考也更少见了。”承接上文，“they”指代前文“49% f the UK public”，“注意力不太集中”“深度思考少见”是对“注意力分散、思绪飘忽”的进一步阐释，让读者更清晰理解“爆米花大脑”的表现，衔接自然。故选F。
37题上文详细介绍了思维导图法的前两个步骤——记录和归类，下文说这能建立秩序，让你的大脑可以集中注意力。E项“然后问问自己：现在什么重要，什么可以等一等？”作为思维导图法的第三步，承接前文的“记录和归类”流程，通过设问筛选优先级，进而实现下文“建立秩序、集中注意力”的效果，逻辑连贯。故选E。
38题上文介绍了思绪回归训练的具体操作（三秒吸气、说感受、重新集中注意力），下文说明该训练能让大脑“降温”的作用。G项“这种练习能让你慢下来，管理情绪。”解释了该训练的直接效果，“this practice”指代上文的三秒训练法，“慢下来”对应“吸气”的动作，“管理情绪”对应“说出你的感受”，且为下文“大脑降温”的深层效果做铺垫。故选G。
39题上文建议减少科技使用，指出完全脱离数字产品不现实，下文提出可以给五分钟的屏幕使用时间作为奖励， 说明后续的奖励机制。 C项“相反，完全不使用屏幕25到30分钟。”通过“instead”承接上文“完全脱离不现实”，给出切实可行的替代方案——短时间不使用屏幕，“25到30分钟”与下文“五分钟奖励”形成时长搭配，构成“限制并奖励”的有效模式，逻辑清晰。故选C。
40题下文谈到蒂娜建议：“不带音乐散步，或者只是盯着窗外。”“安静地坐着，观察自己的思绪，让你的大脑呼吸。具体描述了“什么都不做”的放松方式及其意义。A项“在一天中留出时间什么都不做。”作为该段主题句，精准概括下文内容，“留出时间什么都不做”与下文“不带音乐散步”“安静坐着”等具体做法相呼应，符合段落主旨。故选A。
