第二部分 阅读理解

Explore More in Thailand’s Parts Unknown
Ban Krut
In Ban Krut, travelers will find one of the cleanest and quietest stretches of white sandy beach within driving distance of the capital, Bangkok. This sleepy seaside community, known mostly by locals, is a five-hour drive or
six-hour train trip from Bangkok.
Don’t miss the splendid Wat Tang Sai, a massive, fairy tale castle-like Buddhist temple located atop Thong Chai Mountain.
River Kwai
Most visitors come for the beaches, but the rivers and parks in Thailand’s Kanchanaburi province have much to offer the off-the-beaten-track road tripper. Lots of scenic paths and waterfalls exist in Sai Yok and Erawan national parks.
Just two hours’drive from Bangkok is the bridge made famous in the book“Bridge over the River Kwai”by
French author, Pierre Boulle, and the 1957 Academy Award-winning film adaptation(改编) of the same name.
Stay on the river at one of Kanchanaburi’s many floating hotels, or“floatels”, where you can kayak(划独木舟) to your front door.
Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park
Hiking tracks, wetlands and mangrove (红树) forests make Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park a weekend adventure worthy of topping your Thailand to-do list.
The park’s crown jewel is the extraordinary Phraya Nakhon Cave. Come early to catch the picturesque inside space flooded with morning sunshine that spotlights the royal pavilion(凉亭) that sits inside.
Outdoorsy travelers can camp in a park house or choose more luxurious accommodation in the nearby tourist town of Hua Hin, three hours by car, or four by train, from Bangkok.
Lopburi
Bypass the tour groups at the ancient city of Ayutthaya and head two hours north of Bangkok for a more peaceful walk through Thai history.
Lopburi, one of Thailand’s oldest cities, boasts(拥有) Khmer-era temples and the uncrowded ruins of King Narai’s Palace, which was built in the 1600s.
It’s also known for the naughty monkeys that gather at Phra Prang Sam Yot temple in the center of town. Pro tip: Keep a safe distance from the monkeys and hide anything you don’t want them to steal.

The mind is a wonderful thing. It’s also an excuse-making machine that frequently tries to convince us not to take action we know are good for us. If we hadn’t learned about these excuses, or how to overcome them, we would never have succeeded in making these positive changes.
So why does the mind mess with us and make unreasonable excuses? Because the mind wants comfort; that’s the reason. It’s afraid of discomfort, pressure and change. The mind is absorbed in its comfort zone, and anytime we try to stretch that zone too far, for too long, the mind tries desperately to get back to “ground zero”at any cost. These damaging excuses, such as “I can’t do it”,“It is too hard for me”, “It’s too late now”and so on, are no strangers to our minds.
It seems too difficult at first, so you think you can’t stick to the positive change you’re making. This excuse can be countered (对抗) by looking at the fact that other people were no more capable than you thought you were. For example, my 60-year-old next-door neighbor finished running a marathon, so I told myself, “If she can do it, so can I!”Truth be told, the only person who tells you“I can’t”is yourself. If you hear those words echoing in the back of your mind, tune them out.
I’ve witnessed people reinventing themselves at all ages — 48-year-olds starting families, 57-year-olds graduating from college for the first time, 71-year-olds starting successful businesses, and so forth.
Another common excuse is that “I’ve already failed too much.”If you break down, it’s fine, because you are only human. Just don’t stay down; take a rest, and then pick yourself up so you can go to where you’d rather be. As Winston Churchill said, “Success is never final; failure is never fatal ( 致 命 的 ). It is courage to continue that counts.”
Some people feel like quitting when they have almost reached their goal, while others attain their goals through their efforts until the last second. So make some necessary adjustments to get rid of the bad habit of making excuses. Keep going! No excuses! Think, work, and climb, that’s how you’ll move your life forward.
41. Why does our mind make excuses?
A. It tends to seek comforts rather than suffer. B. It needs rest and relax.
C. It is preparing for the difficult times. D. It is the way it tries to find a solution.
42. What might “ground zero”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The lowest spot. B. The safest place.
C. The original place. D. The proper position.
43. Knowing his neighbor finished the marathon made the author realize ____.
A. completing a marathon was not too difficult B. people often neglect their abilities
C. looking down upon the others is wrong D. people shouldn’t let negative thoughts step in their way
44. For someone who fears failure, the author advises him to _____.
A. learn from those good examples B. stop for a while and examine himself
C. try to adjust himself, and get back on his feet D. look for new directions and keep trying


45. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To tell readers how to make a change. B. To help readers develop a new view of life.
C. To encourage readers to leave their comfortable zone.
D. To tell readers to stop making excuses and keep fighting.

C
Many sugar-sweetened beverages have little to no nutritional value and lots of calories, and their harmful health effects have been well-documented. Now, a study links drinking too many sugary beverages — and even 100% natural fruit juices — to an increased risk of early death. Specifically, drinking too much fruit juice could
lead to an increased risk of early death ranging from 9% to 42%, according to a study.
Overall, the sugars found in orange juice, although naturally occurring, are pretty similar to the sugars added
to soda and other sweetened beverages, the study suggests. “Sugary beverages, whether soft drinks or fruit juices, should be limited,”Jean Welsh, a co-author of the study, said.
Seven US cities, including New York and most recently Philadelphia, have levied ( 征 收 ) taxes on sweetened drinks with added sugar in an effort to reduce consumption. The new study defined “sugary beverages” as both sugar-sweetened drinks, like soda and fruit-flavored drinks, and 100% natural fruit juices that have no added sugar. So how does fruit juice compare to soda?“Previous research has shown that high consumption
of sugars like those in soft drinks and fruit juices is linked to several cardiovascular (心血管的) disease risk factors,”Welsh explained.
People who consumed 10% or more of their daily calories as sugary beverages had a 44% greater risk of dying due to a heart disease and a 14% greater risk of anearly death from any cause compared with people who consumed less than 5% of their daily calories as sugary beverages, the study showed. Each additional 12-ounce(盎司 ) serving of fruit juice per day was associated with a 24% higher risk of death from any cause, and each additional 12-ounce serving of sugary beverages per day was associated with an 11% higher risk.
This is one of the first studies to examine the relationship between sugary drinks, including 100% fruit juices, and early death, wrote Marta Guasch-Ferré and Dr. Frank B. Hu in an editorial published alongside the new study. “Although fruit juices may not be as harmful as sugar sweetened beverages, their consumption should be moderated in children and adults, especially for individuals who wish to control their body weight,”Guasch-Ferré and Hu wrote.
Welsh said we need to consider both fruit juices and sugar-sweetened beverages when we think about how much sugar we consume each day. Between the two, she was in favor of fruit juices:“Given its vitamin and mineral content, fruit juice in small amounts may have a beneficial
effect that isn’t seen with sodas and other sugar-sweetened beverages.”
46. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Sugar-free drinks basically have no nutritional value.
B. Natural fruit juices are usually healthier than sugary beverages.
C. The negative effect of drinking too many beverages remains unknown.
D. Drinking too much fruit juice may not be a healthy option.
47. Why have seven US cities taxed sugary beverages?
A. To increase the government’s income. B. To let people buy less sweetened beverages.
C. To urge people to turn to sugar-free drinks. D. To increase the consumption of natural juice.
48. How are the findings of the study presented to us？
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples.
C. By giving advice. D. By stating the facts.
49. What does the underlined word “moderated”most probably mean?
A. Avoided. B. Increased.
C. Reduced. D. Encouraged.
50. From Jean Welsh’s words, we know that ____.
A. sugar is a major cause of cardiovascular disease
B. the sugar in juice is different from the sugar in sweetened beverages
C. fruit juices are only recommended when consumed in small amounts
D. the amount of sugar we consume mainly lies in drinks with added sugar
D
A growing number of smaller companies are adopting a four-day workweek. Now the results of a recent experiment at Microsoft suggest it could work even for the biggest businesses.
The company introduced a program this summer in Japan called the “Work Life Choice Challenge,”which shut down its offices every Friday in August and gave all employees an extra day off each week.
The results were promising: While the amount of time spent at work was cut dramatically, productivity — measured by sales per employee — went up by almost 40% compared to the same period the previous year, the company said in a statement last week.
In addition to reducing working hours, managers urged staff to cut down on the time they spent on meetings and in responding to emails. They suggested that meetings should last no longer than 30 minutes. Employees were also encouraged to cut down on meetings altogether by using an online messaging app.
The effects were widespread. More than 90% of Microsoft’s 2,280 employees in Japan later said they were impacted by the new measures, according to the company. By shutting down earlier each week, the company was also able to save on other resources, such as electricity.
The program is timely. Japan has long battled with a very serious — and in some cases, deadly — culture of overwork. The problem is so severe; the country has even created a term for it: karoshi means death by overwork from stress-resulted illnesses or severe depression.
The issue attracted international attention in 2015, when an employee at Japanese advertising giant Dentsu committed suicide ( 自 杀 ) on Christmas Day. Tokyo
officials later said that the staff had worked overmuch amounts of overtime.
That has led businesses to start searching for solutions. Some companies have begun offering employees more flexibility, and the government has launched a campaign called “Premium Friday,”which encourages workers to leave early every last Friday of the month.
Microsoft says, for its part, it will conduct another experiment in Japan later this year. It plans to ask employees to come up with new measures to improve work-life balance and efficiency, and will also ask other companies to join the plan.
51. The purpose of the Work Life Choice Challenge program is to ____.
A. shut down the business once in a while B. give employees more spare time
C. achieve work-life balance and increase efficiency D. encourage employees to challenge themselves at work
52. How to describe the new measure?
A. It is a double-edged sword. B. It brings about a win-win situation.
C. It benefits employees more than companies. D. It didn’t receive the desired effect.
53. Why does the writer say the program is right in time?
A. Karoshi has a long history in Japan. B. It can help to solve the problem of overwork in Japan.
C. It is the only solution to Japan’s culture of overwork. D. It answers an international call to reduce working hours.
54. What do we know about“Premium Friday”?
A. It is a plan that hasn’t started yet. B. It is a campaign that is run by a few companies.
C. It has the same nature as the Work Life Choice Challenge.
D. It allows employees to be off work every last Friday of the month.
55. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Microsoft Tried a 4-day Workweek in Japan B. Microsoft Conducted a Weekday Experiment Worldwide
C. Suicide Rates Among Japanese Employees Remain High
D. The Japanese Government Advocates a Shorter Workweek
第一节 阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
Developed by Spanish fashion brand Sepiia, the Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 is a special men’s clothing that can reduce the wearer’s stress, improve blood flow and increase energy levels.
Sepiia has been developing smart clothing for years now. Its first-generation clothing included a staining-resistant fabric (抗污织物) around the cuffs (袖口) and neck, thus requiring less frequent washing, while the second-generation introduced a more breathable fabric that prevented too much sweat, while also being smell-resistant. For its latest generation of smart clothing, Sepiia introduced the concept of health, by developing a fabric that has all the characteristics of previous generations, as well as new bioceramic nanoparticles (生物陶瓷纳米粒) that improve the wearer’s health.
According to Sepiia, the bioceramic nanoparticles are able to reproduce the FIR (Far Infrared Rays 远红外线) from the sun. The heat produced by these rays gets into the wearer’s skin and benefits the muscles, joints and blood vessels by promoting blood circulation.
The bioceramic material also absorbs harmful rays from the sun, thus protecting the wearer’s skin, and reflects the sun’s rays, creating a virtual heat barrier, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable.
“We started with clothes that were comfortable, and now our goal is for fashion to evolve towards personal health” Sepiia CEO, Federico Sainz, said.
Athletes are already using bioceramic nanoparticles in their sleepwear to improve their performance, but Sepiia wants to bring the same benefits to the general public, all through the day.
The Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 is already available for pre-order via Sepiia’s Kickstarter page, for a price of $98. If that seems expensive, just keep in mind that Sepiia’s smart shirt is a lot more serviceable than ordinary shirts, as well as stain-resistant, so you’ll be able to wear it for many years. Who knows, you may even end up saving money.
56. What is the difference between the latest generation of
smart clothing and the previous two? (no more than 5words)
_________________________________________________________________________________
57. What can the Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 make wearers feel? (no more than 5 words)

58. What benefit can sleepwear containing bioceramic nanoparticles bring to athletes? (no more than 5 words)
_________________________________________________________________________________
59. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph probably mean? (no more than 10 words)
