Section A
Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D.Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.
Passage One
Does your mouth water when you think of biscuits, cakes and French fries? Many people prefer junk food like these to healthy food because they develop a taste for it.Processed, baked, and fried foods often contain a high amount of trans fats.
Trans fats raise bad cholesterol (胆固醇) and lower the good cholesterol that your body needs.Fatty foods do more than cause obesity.Trans fats build up in the body and block blood flow to the heart.People whose diet contains a high percentage of trans fats are at risk of developing heart disease or having a stroke.
Food companies and restaurants choose to use trans fat oils because they’re cheap and make food last longer.They also improve the taste and texture of food.Trans fats became very popular in the second half of the 20th century.This is around the time when butter got a bad name for its cholesterol levels.People were told to use margarine (人造黄油) containing trans fats instead because it was “healthier”, but we now know that butter is actually the healthier option.
Today doctors know how dangerous processed foods like margarine can be.In countries such as the US and Canada there are new government restrictions on food production.Food and beverage makers must attach a Nutrition Fact label to their products.These list daily recommendations and detail all the ingredients in a product, trans fats if they’re used.In 2007 New York City banned trans fats from all restaurants.Even fast food chains such as McDonalds are being forced to change their recipes as people become more health-conscious.In Europe, food manufacturers have started using labels that clearly show how healthy each product is according to a simple rating system.
We all need some fat in our diet.There are three different types of fats: saturated fats, trans fats, and unsaturated fats.Doctors recommend that we get most of our fatty calories from unsaturated fats.Neither butter’ nor margarine fit in this category, though there are some spreads that contain zero trans fats.Labels are a good way to avoid eating fatty foods that are dangerous for your health.Another way is to avoid eating out.When shopping for groceries, buy the majority of your goods in the fresh food aisles.

Passage Two
When you’re a teenager with little life experience, it’s easy to build your entire life around what other people think.It can feel normal to let your friends’ idea of what’s cool dictate the clothes you wear, how you behave yourself, and even the music you like.While this pressure is sometimes internal, teenagers are known for making each other feel ashamed if they don’t conform to social norms.And as we all know, young adults can be absolutely brutal in how they treat each other not only those who are different, but even those who try really hard to fit in.
Sadly, adulthood isn’t always a whole lot better in this respect.Not only will you experience pressure to look your best, but you’ll be forced to either keep up with or ignore the Joneses all throughout adulthood.That’s right.Even adulthood has its groups of cool kids, rich kids, outsiders, and rebels.And sometimes, the way someone else spends their money can make you feel like you should be doing the same thing, too.After all, most people still want to fit in; it doesn’t matter whether they’re 15 or 50.
But, should you give in to peer pressure and waste your hard-earned dollars? The opportunities to spend money as an adult are nearly limitless, but they will drain your bank account if you give in every time.And at the end of the day, keeping up with your friends as an adult is just as pointless as it was in high school.
Adulthood is a journey, not a race.Those who collect the most material possessions don’t earn a prize—no ribbon, nothing.So, why does it feel like we need to compete? Because every commercial on television, online, and the radio is aimed at getting us to spend our money.Every ad campaign on Earth was created to convince us that what we have is not enough, and that we need this item or that service—and that we’re depriving ourselves or our families if we don’t buy it.
Don’t believe the hype (大肆宣传).You have nothing to prove, and you’ll be a lot better off if you ignore the commercials, your friends, and do what is best for you.

Passage Three
Psychology studies reveal that most people taking exercise will choose their preferred sport based on their personality.If someone is introverted (内向的), patient or calm, they will most likely choose tennis, golf, or a sport where they can practice and play on their own.By contrast, those individuals who are outspoken, competitive or aggressive, will prefer contact sports or team sports.
Since a very early age, children are often seen experimenting with different types of sports—soccer, basketball, baseball, swimming, tennis, etc.—until they decide to keep practicing the sport at which they are more skillful and with which they feel more comfortable.They have the character and motivation to train, practice, and even compete in this sport.Here there is a direct relationship between the individual personality and the nature of the sport of their choosing.
Interestingly, participating in a specific type of sport might also have some influence on an individual’s personality.For example, we have recently seen a dramatic increase in obesity among teenagers, and adults in the US.This might be caused by a vast array of personal, professional, cultural, or even health problems or conditions.However, it is up to the individual to choose a much healthier regime and therefore, embark on developing a series of new personality traits, which will help him or her lose weight and become a healthier individual.
A few decades ago, a sixty-year-old individual might have been considered a very old, fragile, and even a sick person with just a few more years to live a somewhat good, conservative life.Nowadays, we have seen a dramatic change in this perception.More than ever, we are looking at healthier stronger, and very motivated sixty, seventy, and even eighty-year-old individuals.No doubt sports have helped shape this new personality and approach adopted by the senior population.Exercise and sports most certainly bring a new meaning to their lives, particularly because they live and experience the benefits of exercising on a daily basis.Therefore, their personalities and psychological state are most likely completely different from that sixty-year-old senior stereotype a few decades ago.

Passage Four
It is hard to imagine humans spending their lives in virtual reality (VR) when the experience amounts to waving your arms about in the middle of the lounge with a device strapped to your face.But this is where humanity is heading.
Chalmers, an Australian professor of philosophy and neural science at New York University, makes the case to embrace VR in his new book, Reality+.Renowned for explaining “the hard problem” of consciousness, Chalmers sees technology reaching the point where virtual and physical are sensorily the same and people live good lives in VR.
In the decades ahead, Chalmers suspects we will replace the clunky headsets with brain computer interfaces that allow us to experience virtual worlds with our full suite of senses.With advances in computing—in the next century, perhaps—those worlds would seem as real as the physical world around us.
“A common way of thinking about virtual realities is that they’re somehow fake abilities.I think that’s wrong,” he explained.“The virtual worlds we’re interacting with can be as real as our ordinary physical world.”
On the point of philosophy, Chalmers argues that even today’s virtual worlds are real.A conversation in VR is a real conversation.The objects in the virtual world too, just made of bits instead of electrons.“Most of the factors that make life meaningful are going to be there in virtual worlds,” he says.
But there are plenty of risks to be cautious of, he notes.As fulfilling as virtual worlds may become, people will need real food, drink and exercise, and perhaps even the glimpse of daylight, to keep their bodies from fading away.The risks may be trivial for decades yet, but a gradual trend towards virtual living could eventually raise new health issues.These are not the only health hazards.Some people have raised serious concerns about the risk of psychological damage: if we are better looking and have better clothes and a nicer home in the meta verse (元宇宙), how we feel when we leave?
The lure of VR might also cause neglect on a global scale, Chalmers concedes.Would climate change and other crises facing the physical world lose their urgency? That would be a disaster, he says, “Physical reality is reality important.We’ve got to keep a grounding in it and treat it well.”

Section B
Directions: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it.The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A,B, C and D.Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Like a lot of people, for many years I said yes to things I didn’t want to do.This was a combination of conditioning—vague fear of missing out and basic conflict avoidance.It seemed to me there was no easy way to turn things down without causing offence.All we had, growing up, was the saying “Just say no”—a slogan so useless that it became a universally recognized and decades-long joke.
A lot has changed since then.In the past 10 years, a language has developed, mainly from social justice and feminist movements, to describe the states of discomfort and the right we have to resist them.
My favourite, and by far the most useful, of the new phrase is “I’m not comfortable with that.” It can get you out of almost anything.My other favourite word is “boundaries”.One can ditch disagreeable people these days via use of the word “boundaries” while escaping any feelings of guilt.Another one, “emotional labour”, was coined in the 1980s to describe service industry jobs that required the faking of a cheerful behavior to satisfy customers.This involvessuppressing emotions, such as anger or sadness, which is bound to take a toll on you and could even lead to burnout.It doesn’t mean that now.You can bolt that phrase on to almost any situation, conversation or obligation you’d rather not be involved in.
Being able to politely back out of something without tying yourself in knots is useful, particularly for women socialized to comply (遵从).
Comment 1:
Saying “yes” to everything is a trait in most women.For me it is a sign of female maturity to learn to say no.
Comment 2:
For a longtime now, I have used a polite “no” when being asked to do things I don’t want to.
Comment 3:
More to do with age than anything else.Men suffer it too, saying yes too much.You do wise up as you get older.
Comment 4:
All life involving other people is a compromise.You can pleasantly use the expression “I’m not comfortable with that” in solitudes, but among others, who have their own desires, needs and conviction, it becomes a self-detesting exercise.
Comment 5:
What a lot of men still seem unable to understand is that women learn at very young age to be carers, while men are largish to prioritize themselves.
