24、   It’s said that both work and play are important for a developing mind. Though it may be crucial (重要的) for everyone to work hard, it is also important to relax from time to time.

In 2018, the average (平均数) amount of leisure (闲暇) time for Chinese people was 2.84 hours per day, higher than 2017’s average of 2.27 hours, according to the China Media Group (CMG).

CMG’s surveys focus (聚焦) on the happiness of China’s population. The surveys, which began in 2006, cover many areas, including leisure time, vacations and spending habits. Each year, CMG surveys around 10,000 households across the country.

The surveys also showed what people prefer to do during their leisure time. Seven in ten people enjoy surfing the internet, while 55 percent like to watch TV and 46 percent prefer shopping.

What’s more interesting is that people in different provinces like to do different things. For example, people in Guangxi like reading books. Those who live in Tianjin prefer to go to a concert or movie. People in Jilin province prefer to exercise.

In general, people are happier when they have more leisure time, the survey suggests. Having enough leisure time has even become more important than income (收入) for Chinese people.

However, it is still important to work as well. Working hard during part of the day makes leisure time more valuable and enjoyable, CCTV News reported.

CMG has also found that over the last 10 years, Chinese people have generally become happier. In 2018, over half of Chinese people felt satisfied with their lives, the highest rate (比率) seen since 2009.

【1】In 2017, the average amount of leisure for Chinese people was ________ per day.

A．2.84 hours

B．2.27 hours

C．5.5 hours

【2】When did the surveys begin?

A．In 2018.

B．In 2017.

C．In 2006.

【3】According to the surveys, people in Guangxi like ________.

A．surfing the internet

B．watching TV

C．reading books

【4】In 2018, how many Chinese people felt satisfied with their lives?

A．More than fifty percent of Chinese people.

B．Seventy percent of Chinese people.

C．Forty-six percent of Chinese people.

【5】The writer wants to tell us that ________.

A．both work and play are important

B．having enough leisure time is the most important

C．working hard is the most important

25、   A recent study from a team of South Korean researchers suggests that eating alone often may lead to poor eating habits and poor food choices. Specifically, the study found that men who ate alone more than twice a week had a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and other diseases.

For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad results—it is also about developing good ones.

In 2014, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) looked at data from nearly three-quarters of the world’s countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with families were less likely to skip school(逃学). Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to use drugs and alcohol(吸毒酗酒).

In the report, named “The Importance of Family Dinners”, researchers say that “teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what’s going on in their lives”. They also say that when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.

Another study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits. These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. These children also seemed to have better social skills and they were less aggressive(好斗的).

Professor Linda Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents “likely provide young children with first-hand social communication, discussions of social events and day-to-day matters”. She adds that they may likely help the child have better communication skills with others.

【1】The underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 5 is the closest in meaning to ________.

A.advantages B.disadvantages C.conditions D.problems

【2】Children eating with their families are more likely to ________.

A.drink more sugary soft drinks B.do well in their studies at school

C.be more socially active and aggressive D.have a closer relationship with their parents

【3】Why is Professor Pagani mentioned in the last paragraph?

A.To introduce her. B.To add a new point.

C.To explain further. D.To provide background information.

【4】The passage mainly talks about ________.

A.the benefits of eating together B.the advantages of eating alone

C.the ways of developing social skills D.the risks of using drugs and alcohol

26、   Is there anything that you do to cheer yourself up and “heal（治愈）” your mind when you’re feeling down? Many of us have our own ways to make ourselves feel better. This is referred to as “self-care”.

This idea originated（起源） in Japan. It refers to any activity that can soothe one’s nerves（平缓心绪）, clear one’s mind, and comfort a troubled heart, according to China News Service. It was first used to describe the music of Japanese songwriter Ryuichi Sakamoto（坂本龙一）in 1999.

Self-care is now booming（急速发展）in China as well. One of the most popular activities is “healing travel”. According to Caissa Touristic, a Beijing-based travel agency, more Chinese tourists are going on meditation（冥想）or yoga retreats in places like Japan, Bali and India.

By taking these trips, people can learn more about local culture and the way people in these countries live. Without a tour guide or detailed plan, they allow their bodies and minds to relax as they forget about daily stresses and noisy surroundings（周遭事物）back home.

Having a pet can also help to improve our mental health. Research has shown that pets and humans can heal each other, NPR reported. Strong human-to-animal bonds（情感联系）make both pets and their owners happier and healthier. Chinese dog and cat owners spent over 5,000 yuan per pet on average in 2018. China’s pet industry now has a value of over 170 billion yuan, Xinhua reported.

More people are seeking out self-care activities simply because they can finally afford to, particularly China’s growing middleclass（中产阶级）. With fewer financial（财务的）worries, they can slow down and take a closer look at their own inner（内心的）world, the Paper noted.

【1】What do we know about “self-care” in the story?

A.It means living by yourself. B.It started in Japan about 20 years ago.

C.It focuses on one’s physical health. D.It refers to activities done by yourself.

【2】People may feel “healed” while going on trips because _________.

A.they can do meditation or yoga during their trips B.they get to know how other people live

C.they can relax and avoid daily stress D.they don’t need to make plans

【3】According to Xinhua, which of the following is TRUE?

A.“Healing travel” is a popular “self-care” activity.

B.Pets can’t help their owners stay healthy mentally.

C.Chinese people prefer to raise cats.

D.Chinese pet owners spend a lot of money on their pets.

【4】What can we infer from the story?

A.Ryuichi Sakamoto’s music can make people feel better.

B.People who have pets are not necessarily happier or healthier.

C.The middle class experiences more stress and mental health problems.

D.Chinese people will spend more money on their pets.

【5】What’s the best title of this passage?

A.How to Keep Pets B.How to Live Longer

C.How to Help Ourselves D.How to Make Plans

27、   Trying to lose weight can be difficult, and while we all know exercise and diet are both  basic needs, which one is more important?

If you had to choose, should you be hitting the gym, or eating salads? There are many ways you can burn a few hundred calories (卡路里): running for 20 minutes, an hour of swimming, or singing your favourite song 23 times. But the point is, it takes time to burn a lot of calories even with most tiring activity - not to mention the time spent on the way to the gym, and then back home to clean up.

Now, compare this to the number of calories in a chocolate bar - which is often over 200 calories. You could either walk for about an hour to burn that 200 calories, or you could simply not eat that chocolate bar. Which sounds easier to you? How about running for 30 minutes every day or cutting out those two cans of soda? Many physicians point out that there is a lot of high-sugar, high-fat, high-calorie foods we could cut from our diet, to see weight loss results more quickly. And studies also show that diet does actually play a bigger role in weight loss than exercise. A survey of 2000 children found that the level of physical activity was not the main reason for their weight. And a study of 3000 adults discovered that cutting down calories was connected to greater weight loss than exercise alone.

Of course, exercise has many health advantages besides weight loss, like slowing the aging process and improving mental health. But at the end of the day, if you expect to lose weight, you’re likely to get more bang for your buck if you focus on your diet first.

根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

【1】The underlined words “get more bang for your buck” most probably means  ________.

A.更加合算 B.付出努力 C.怦然心动

【2】From the third paragraph mainly tells us that ________.

A.there is a lot of high-sugar, high fat, high-calorie foods in our daily diets

B.exercise like walking plays an important part in keeping our bodies healthy

C.your diet has a greater influence on your weight loss than exercise

【3】The energy in a chocolate bar ________.

A.is as much as the energy we need for singing a song 23 times

B.may be burnt by walking for about half an hour

C.should not be added to a diet when you want to lose weight

【4】Which of following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.A survey of 3000 children found out that cutting down calories is more important

B.Exercise has many health advantages besides helping us lose weight

C.In fact, exercise is not needed when we want to lose weight

【5】Which of the following would you choose as the title of the passage?

A.Exercise VS Diet B.How To Lose Weight C.Different diets
