How a middled age woman find her lifetime career
I did not come from a wealthy background. My mother(a single mother who raised 6 children with love and
courage) wanted me to have a secure future, so she spent a lot of money to send me to the UK, where I learned to
be a professional secretary. Then, I backed to Hong Kong and worked as a secretary.
But I had a problem: I could not concentrate on paperwork. It was a serious issue and I sought medical help.
The doctor diagnosed me with ADHD(Attention Disorder: means a person may have difficulty staying on task,
sustaining focus). I felt like my world was falling apart. How could I make a living with this condition? How could
I meet my family's expectations?
When I was fire d from three different offices, I lost all my self-respect. With nothing left to lose, 1decided to
use my savings and open a small restaurant. As kitchen is the only place to gain back my self-esteem.
I love cooking, however, I was not trained as a chef. But I was very lucky. Many famous chefs were kind
enough to share their cooking secrets with me whole heartedly. They saw something in me: a fearless middle-aged
woman. My cooking skills improved a lot with their help and the my business started to pick up.1 became kind of
famous as CNN named Choy Choy Kitchen as one of the Best Private Kitchen in Hong Kong.
Business was good and I gained back my focus and self-respect in my kitchen in Hong Kong. I tried to find a
professional partner who could fully utilize my brand and my creativity.
I moved to Tokyo and opened a restaurant with my partner. However, the covid pandemic hit, restaurant
business suffered. And we ended the partnership. I bought a small house in Aobadai, Meguro and began to run my
own restaurant. The restaurant was really small and could serve only 4 guests. I served only real Chinese Cuisine
with high-end food ingredients. The price of my cuisine seems high. However, the cos t of high-end ingredients in
Japan was high too and the profit margin was unexpectedly low.
Although the profit was not as expected, I feel a profound joy that fills my entire being whenever guests
appreciate real Chinese Cuisine. Whenever I got a compliment about real Chinese cuisine, I feel like destiny chose
me to spread the gospel(福音) of real Chinese Cuisine in Japan. Introducing the real Chinese Cuisine to Japanese
is a challenging mission. As most of the Chinese Cuisine in Japan is adapted to the local preferences and tastes and
therefore most Japanese have never experienced the true flavors of China's diverse regions and dishes. Although
mission sounds difficult, I will try my best.
24. What was the woman's initial career choice after returning to Hong Kong?
A. Secretary. B. Professional chef.
C. Restaurant owner. D. Businesswoman.
25. Why did the author's partnership in Tokyo end?
A. Because the cost of high-end ingredients was unexpectedly low.
B. Because the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the restaurant business.
C. Because the author wanted to focus on running their own restaurant in Aobadai, Meguro.
D. Because the profit margin from serving real Chinese cuisine was not as expected.
26. What drives the woman to continue her mission of introducing real Chinese cuisine to Japan?
A. The support she receives from famous chefs.
B. The desire to make a profit from her restaurant.
C. The opportunity to perfect her cooking skill.
D. The joy to spread the true flavors of China's diverse cuisine.
27. Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A. Determined and generous. B. Dependent and ambitious.
C. Optimistic and courageous. D. Sensitive and adventurous.
C
When landing at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta , Indonesia, tourists are often surprised to see
many billboards advertising Chinese companies such as smartphone maker Oppo.
Walking into high-end shopping malls in Jakarta, consumers also notice that Chinese brands are spotlighted.
In Plaza Indonesia, which houses international luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel.
Oppo also has a well-designed store. Such a noticeable presence showcases the popularity of Oppo in
Indonesia —an example of how Chinese companies are cager to explore the biggest economy in the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations.
According to statistics from the Indonesia n government. Chinese companies' direct investment in the country
reached $8.23 billion in 2022, a year-on-year jump of 160 percent, reaching a record high and ranking as the second-
largest source of foreign investment in Indonesia US investment bank Goldman Sachs also forecasted in a report
that Indonesia will become the world's fourth-largest economy by 2050 To turn such rosy prospects into reality.
Chinese companies are scrambling to better localize their products, management teams and marketing strategies.
Oppo. for instance, is now booming in on the high-end smartphone market after the company beat Samsung
as the top smartphone brand in Indonesia in the second quarter with a market share of 20 percent The success is
attributed in part to Oppo's strategy of opening well-designed stores with competitive products in high-end shopping
malls.

A. The large population of Indonesia
B. The popularity of Oppo smartphones.
C. The number of luxury brands in the shopping malls.

After a particularly strong storm named Klaus hit southwestern France in 2009, researchers made a curious
observation about the damage: nearly all the trees beaten up by winds blowing at speeds of 94 miles per hour,
regardless of their species, height or diameter, however, most trees hit by strong winds below that were in good
condition. Was this wind-speed threshold(分界线) really the arbiter(仲裁者) of destruction?
Physicist Christophe Clanet and his colleagues at France's cole Polytechnique and ESPCI Paris Tech set to
find out by breaking beechwood rods(格木棒) of different lengths and diameters under controlled conditions. To
do so, they inserted one end of a given rod into a hole of the same diameter in a block of steel and slowly add ed
force to the other end, causing the rod to bend. Then they measured the critical figures to determine a corresponding
wind speed What they found matched the real-world situation of 2009: the calculated wind speed to break the rods—
no matter the size was about 94 mph.
However, several outside experts have concerns about this. For example, Lee Frelich, director of the
University of Minnesot a Center for Forest Ecology, says that modeling trees as branchless cylinders(无分支
气缸 ) ignores the streamlining (直线型化) of branches in the wind, which in turn changes the relation between
force on the trunk and wind speed In other words, the method did not reflect the complex interactions of real-life
biology, weather and physics Regardless, Clanet and his colleagues do think the results have utility and plan to
study whether strong winds can change the breaking point.
32 How did Clanet conduct the study?
^ By setting plans and giving examples.
B. By collecting figures and using information.
C. By doing experiment and measuring figures
D. By analyzing data and drawing a conclusion.
33. What's the attitude of Lee Frelich towards the study?
A. Optimistic. B . Indifferent C. Objective. D. Worried.
34. What does the underlined word “utility” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Effect. B Usefulness. C. Future. D. Significance.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. How the wind cuts wood
B. Why the wind destroys wood
C. Wind speed: the change r of winds
D. Whether strong winds can change the breaking point

Why It's Hard to Lose Weight
What makes people gain weight? This seems like a simple enough question to answer. If we eat a lot and don't
do enough exercise, we will become fat. 36
As we know, what we eat greatly affects our weight. It is widely accepted that people have 100% control over
what they cat and how much they eat. This, however, is partly true. 37 You may rarely touch vegetables while
overeating fried chicken. Meanwhile, the serving size and the background music can both affect how much we cat.
Our bodies themselves can decide whether we are more Kelly to gain weight or lose weight. Scientists have
found that the more delicious the food, the more excited our brains get. 38 Conpared to people of normal weight,
fat people feel more excited when they see debtors food.
Also, our bodies us c a variety of hormones (放点 ) to tell our brains whether they are hungry or full.
Ghrelin(胃饥饿系), for example, tells the brain that the body wants food. Leptin(喷头), meanwhile, tells the brain
that it's time to stop eating. Ghrelin and leptin help us to maintain a healthy weight. 39 As we get fatter, the levels
of leptin in our bodiless. Our brains are told not to eat all the time. In the end, they would no longer trust leptin and
would stop responding to its “warnings”. When we start to lose weight, leptin levels drop. Our brains think we are
hungry and makes us find food in our fridge.
40 They may have tried very hard, but their bodies are working against their will.
A. But sometimes, they may work improperly.
B. People form habits around food at a young age.
C. If we often have delicious food, over time, our brain will change.
D. Now you know why fa t people often have a tough time losing weight.
E. There is also evidence to show industrial chemicals may increase body fat.
F. However, the science behind weight problems is more complicated than we think.
G. People with low levels of body satisfaction are more likely to gain weight over time.

可读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a cold winter evening, and the pressure of high school was weighing heavily on my shoulders. I had
always been a hardworking and dedicated student, but in my final year, the workload seemed unbearable. No
matter how much effort I put into my studies, I couldn't seem to keep up.
As the mid-term exams approached, I felt a sense of dread. I had spent countless hours studying, but with so
many subjects to cover, I was overwhelmed. The fear of failure consumed me, and I began to doubt myself.
One day after school, I found myself walking alongside my teacher, Mr. Johnson, on the empty playground.
He could tell that something was bothering me, and he asked if everything was alright. I hesitated for a moment,
unsure of whether to share my struggles. But there was something in his kind eyes and considerate smile that made
me open up.
I poured out my frustrations, explaining how hard I had been working and how little progress I was making.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I admitted that I was afraid of failing the exams. To my surprise, Mr.Johnson didn't
offer words of sympathy or pity. Instead, he shared his own experiences as a high school student and the challenges
he faced during his final year.
He told me about the countless nights he had spent studying, the moments of self-doubt, and the overwhelming
pressure. But he also spoke about the importance of perseverance, no matter how difficult things may seem. He
assured me that success wasn't just about getting good grades but about learning from our failures, the last but not
least, the qualities we formed in the process.
His words inspired me, something different seemed to have shifted in my study and life.
Next week, I anxiously scanned the paper for my score.

写作二：
His words inspired me, something different seemed to have shifted in my study and life. Instead of
letting the stress consume me, I’ve started looking for ways to manage the study pressure more
effectively. The day of the exam came. I tried to calm down and focused on the test, but my hands were
shaking. I recalled my teacher’s expectant eyes, I became even more determined to succeed. I answered
the questions as best as I could. Finally, the exam ended, and I walked out of the classroom, with a sense
of relief.
Next week, I anxiously scanned the paper for my score. My eyes widened in disbelief, I had
received an A! I could hardly contain my excitement so I couldn’t wait to find Mr. Johnson waving my
paper. I stepped forward and gave him a big hug, a wave of satisfaction and pride flooding over him. I
saw Mr. Johnson wearing a smile with thumbs up, which made me more confident. I knew that it was
my teacher’s encouragement and trust that paved the way for making such great progress! The golden
sunlight poured into the office, like Mr. Johnson lighting up my life as well as the path to pursue my
dream.
