2 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Sooner or later, you all have to face big decisions regarding your ambitions and your future roles in society. That might mean selecting school subjects that will lead to     1     fulfilling career or it might mean deciding what kind of job you think will suit you.

    2     (luck), you aren’t restricted(限制) to a choice between academia and the workplace. You might decide to follow a vocational(职业的) course,     3     (get) a qualification(资格) in business, for example. Or you might consider doing in an apprenticeship(学徒工作) and working for an employer who will train you     4     (do) a specific job.

When making decisions, don’t forget to put your hearts into your     5     (strong). You can get a sense of what academic area you are stronger in,     6     (base) on your success in assessments.

Dig a little deeper to find out what combination of personality traits(特征) and skills are involved in your past success, and which can     7     (apply) to other areas. Online personality tests which try to match you to a particular job can help you to focus     8     your interests.

Consulting parents and other people as well as gathering information about different options     9     (be) important too. Although it may be possible to change your mind at a later stage, there’s no doubt     10     life is easier if you get it right early on.

3 . Ahh... Fish, chips and mushy peas! There is nothing more British than fish and chips. Freshly cooked, boiling hot fish and chips, topped with salt and seasoned with vinegar, packed in newspaper and eaten out-of-doors on a cold and wintry day — it simply cannot be beaten!

    1    

Both Lancashire and London claim to be the first to invent this famous meal. Chips were a cheap, basic food of the industrial north while fried fish was introduced in London’s East End.     2     So was born our national dish of fish and chips!

    3     Mr. Lees sold fish and chips from a wooden shelter in the market. Later he moved the business to a permanent shop across the road. However in London, it is said that Joseph Malin, a Jewish immigrant, opened a fish and chip shop in Cleveland Way within the sound of Bow Bells in the 1860s.

Fish and chip shops were originally small family businesses, often run from the front room of the house and were commonplace by the late 19^th century. Through the latter part of the 19th century and well into the 20th century, the fish and chip trade expanded greatly to satisfy the needs of the growing industrial population of Great Britain. Fish and chips became vital to the diet of the ordinary people.     4    

In 1999, the British consumed nearly 300 million servings of fish and chips. That equates to six servings for every man, woman and child in the country.     5     That’s eight for every one Burger King restaurant, making British Fish and Chips the nation’s favourite take-away.

A．It quickly became a favourite of the workers.

B．People soon decided to put fried fish and chips together.

C．John Lees owned a restaurant and sold the famous pairing.

D．So how, when and where did this British dish come about?

E．There are now around 8,500 fish and chip shops across the UK.

F．Some shops had to employ doormen to control the queue at busy times.

G．The first fish and chip shop in Lancashire is thought to have opened in 1863.

4 . People who are overweight are often seen to have a strong desire for food at any time of the day. They keep on eating till they reach their satisfaction level. This often pushes them towards overeating.     1     Thus, if you are one of such people, you need to take steps to satisfy your hunger without overeating.

    2     This will give you a clear picture about the quantity of food you should eat at once. Do not overeat because you will have leftovers. You can always enjoy eating the leftovers at some other time and save time and effort required for cooking.

Do not rush while eating food. Take your time and eat slowly as this technique develops the feeling of fullness before your stomach is actually full.     3     This draws your mind’s attention towards your stomach, which will let you know whether your stomach is full or not.

Do not watch television while eating because it causes distractions.     4     Create a pleasant dining environment so that the satisfaction of having a great dining experience leaves your hunger satisfied without eating too much.

    5     Waiting for too long before eating will make you eat more. Drink a lot of water as it helps in reducing food desire without adding calories to the body.

A．Eat when you begin feeling hungry.

B．Overeating is a major cause behind poor health.

C．Start with the dish that seems more interesting to you.

D．Frequent overeating will result in unwanted weight gain.

E．Instead, sit at a dining table to concentrate on what you’re eating.

F．Decide how much you want to eat before actually eating your food.

G．To know if you are full during a meal, take deep breaths in between.

5 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Do you believe that art can change our world? In a study     1    (conduct) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), researchers found that people with an active interest in the art contribute more to society than those with little or no interest in     2    . That means if you sing, dance, draw, or act, and especially if you watch others do so, you’re     3    (likely) to be socially responsible, tolerant and altruistic (无私的).

Kelly Leroux, an assistant professor at UIC who takes charge     4     the study, says, “Our data analysis has found a high correlation between the arts and altruistic actions—like donating blood,or doing favors for a neighbor,     5     place the interests of others over the interests of self,” she said. “    6     this, people who have interests in the arts are more willing to take part in activities, such as volunteering.”

Because the financial crisis still lasts, arts budgets     7    (reduce) very soon. However, this policy will take such important benefits away from students. Just as LeRoux says,     8     policymakers are worried about a decline in community life, the arts should not be disregarded as     9     effective means to promote social     10    (responsible).

7 . “Can you say mama? Or dada?” If you’ve spent any time around a baby, chances are you’ve heard or said things like these.     1     For instance, baby talk, “parentese” (父母语), or, according to development specialists, child-directed speech. Although this kind of small talk might seem meaningless, the conversations are important.

Baby talk is an important piece of speech and language development. Studies show that when babies are exposed to such talk every day throughout their first year of life, they develop stronger vocabularies than other kids. And the little ones are eager for it.     2     So when parents apply it, they help their babies learn more words and promote social interaction.

Child-directed speech wasn’t always valued. Before the middle of the 20th century, researchers largely ignored it as a subject of study. Until the early 1990s, many developmental psychologists and linguists believed that without any help, we would learn how to speak and form complete sentences by ourselves.     3    

But over the past few decades, numerous studies have found that throughout their first year of life, when babies are regularly exposed to such talk in addition to normal speech, they process, learn, and remember words presented to them in singsong tones (语调) better. One reason may have to do with how babies interact with the world.     4     However, but their ears perk up (竖起来) when a caregiver makes that singsong tone.

    5     In a 2020 study, researchers found that bat parents also used a different tone to communicate with their babies. Baby talk has also been observed in a few other species like squirrel monkeys.

A．Baby talk tends to be spoken at a slower rate.

B．Humans aren’t the only ones that use baby talk.

C．They tend to ignore adult conversations and other background noises.

D．Luckily, parents can be taught methods to improve their parentese skills.

E．Some doctors even advised parents to avoid using baby talk, thinking it too silly.

F．The distinct tone of parentese catches their attention, allowing them to benefit from it.

G．The singsong tone we switch to when interacting with young children can have many names.
