resident Hou Lixin started eating meal replacement products in February when she wanted to lose weight.She bought various meal replacement products online and ate them for more than a month.“Most of them dont taste good,but at least they have low calories and are convenient to buy,store and cook,”she said,adding the product she consumed gave a strong sense of fullness.Hou is by no means alone.Meal replacement products,or substitutes for regular meals that can fill you up with low-calorie intakes,appear as a potential big market in China,driven by Chinese consumer demand for products that can help in weight control and offer convenience,experts said.The most common meal replacement products include powders,liquids,shakes,porridges and energy bars containing fiber,protein,vitamin,minerals and other nutritious content.The meal replacement market is at the early stage of competition and there is big room for future development,like in the United States and Japan.Euromonitor International,a market research company,said sales revenue of meal replacement products in China hit 57.17 billion yuan in 2017 and is expected to reach 120 billion yuan by 2022.More fast-moving consumer goods giants are partaking in the market action.PepsiCos oat brand Quaker released a new shake product in June.A major Chinese snack brand Bestore released 27 meal replacement products in August.Jia Jianbin,secretary general at Chinese Cereals and Oils Association,told CCTV reporter that despite its possible effectiveness that many people believe,this way of weight loss may bring greater harm as it breaks the balance of nutrition and food.As a result,it can only be a temporary move,not a long-term use.“Cereal meal replacement powder,for example,is mainly composed of carbohydrates(碳水化合物),which have enough calories，but the vitamins and minerals are not enough.Instead,it is better to soak oatmeal(燕麦片)in milk,which may be more nutritious and more economical,”said Gu Zhongyi,a dietitian of the Beijing Dietetic Association.“Meal replacements can be an alternative for busy workers,but they are no substitute for a balanced diet,and try not to eat more than one meal a day.”4The author quotes the example of Hou Lixin to _.Ashow an efficient way to lose weight Bpromote the meal replacement products Cintroduce the topic of meal replacement products Darouse readers interest in the meal replacement products 5Why are meal replacement products popular among many Chinese consumers?ABecause they are highly recommended by health experts.BBecause they are helpful to control weight and bring convenience.CBecause they have a large market share in the food market.DBecause they provide various forms and flavors for the consumers.6What does the underlined word“partaking”in Paragraph 5 mean?学科资料分享升学政策解读优质师资推荐小娜老师（QQ：527120826）AParticipating.BAdvertising.CExperimenting.DCooperating.7What attitude do Jia Jianbin and Gu Zhongyi have towards the meal replacement products?ACautious.BFavorable.CDisapproving.DConfused.C Sometimes when she felt bored,she would pick up one of the numerous biographies（传记）about herself and begin to note in.I never did that or simply not true she would write roughly in the margins at the sides of pages.Since journalists,biographers and more recently even bloggers had been writing about her since the day she was born,there was plenty of material to edit.Not that her notes or corrections were ever shared with the authors.Lately,however,she even seemed to have lost her appetite for correctness.Did it matter anymore if things were not right?She knew that sitting alone chewing away on downbeat thoughts would not get her anywhere and would leave those around her confused and upset,should they ever catch her out.After all she was the decisive one,always on top of her game.A printed timetable for the following day lay on the table.A full day of openings and presentations,of smiling and nodding and flowers.Shaking herself out of her gray mood,she stepped over towards the computer where a sudden burst of energy gave her an idea.The screen flashed up in front of her but instead of clicking on the familiar icons which would lead her to the emails Randolph considered she needed to read,she simply went to visit Mr.Google and began her search for train timetable.A dish heaped with multi-coloured jellies and plenty of ice cream,served by a white-gloved train waiter with a perfect moustache.So many years had passed but she still remembered the jelly dissolving on her tongue in small but delicious mouthfuls.Each spoonful had to be lifted delicately to her mouth under the watched eye of her grandmother,who was a stickler for good manners.It was unlikely that they served jelly on the trains these days,what with all the concern about childhood fatness,but even a Spartan menu could not kill the romance of a train journey.As the timetable for Line-burst line flashed in front of her,she remembered that the Mayor of Alwoy would be expecting her to make a short,predictable speech at the opening of the now bridge.8Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?AThe main character is probably a journalist writing blogs about royal members.BThe main character is always busy editing plenty of material about herself.CThe authors probably had chances to get the notes or correctness from the main character.DRandolph is probably an assistant or a secretary to the main character.9Why does the main character recall the time she ate jellies and ice cream?AShe wishes that she were still a child so that she could eat jellies and ice cream.BShe is reminded of these foods because the thought of a train journey reminds her of them.CShe wishes she still knew where the handsome train waiter was DTodays children arent allowed to eat the same things that she ate as a child.10A Sparten menu(paragraph 4)would most likely _.学科资料分享升学政策解读优质师资推荐小娜老师（QQ：527120826）Ahave mainly low fat,healthy foods Bbe suitable for a romantic dinner Cinclude a range of sweets,but no jelly Dinclude foods which are easy to transport 11What is most likely to happen next in this passage?AThe main character will practise her speech for greeting the Mayor of Alwoy.BThe main character will decide to take a rail journey.CRandolph will send some emails to the main character.DThe main character will update her blog on the internet.D I want to ask you a favor.I have a pair of pants.Tell me:How many different ways can I put a pair of pants to use?Now imagine youre an architect.Same question.Now imagine youre Bill Gates.A scuba diver.A medieval knight.You still have the pants.What alternative uses come to mind?What you just practiced-the conscious act of wearing another self-is an exercise that,according to psychiatrist SriniPillay,MD,is essential to being creative.One great irony(讽刺)about our collective addiction to creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways.That is to say,most of us marry creativity to our concept of self:Either were“creative”or we arent,without much of a middle ground.Im just not a creative person!”a discouraged student might say in art class,while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math,making a comment Im very right-brained.Dr.Pillay,an assistant professor at Harvard University,has spent years overturning these ideas.He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to challenge the stereotyped(陈词滥调的)advice that urges you to“believe in yourself.”In fact,you should do the opposite:Believe you are someone else.He points to a study showing the impact of stereotype on ones behavior.The authors,psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar,divided their college student subjects into two groups,instructing one group to think of themselves as eccentric poets and the other to imagine they were rigid librarians.The researchers then presented them all with ordinary objects,including a fork,a carrot,and a pair of pants,and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one.The former group came up with the widest range of ideas,whereas the latter had the fewest.These results suggest that creativity is not an individual characteristic but a“product of context and perspective”.Everyone can be creative,as long as he or she feels like a creative person.Dr.Pillays work takes this a step further:He argues that simply identifying yourself as creative is less powerful than taking the brave,creative step of imagining you are somebody else.This exercise,which he calls psychological Halloweenism,refers to the conscious action of“wearing”another self.An actor may employ this technique to get into character,but anyone can use it.According to Dr.Pillay,it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus,a collection of brain regions that spring into action when youre not focused on a specific task or thought.Most people spend nearly half of their days in a state of unfocus.This doesnt make us lazy;it makes us human.Imagining yourself in a new situation,or an entirely new identity,never felt so productive.Youre making yourself more creative,and youre giving yourself permission to do something youd otherwise feel 学科资料分享升学政策解读优质师资推荐小娜老师（QQ：527120826）guilty about.12Whats the function of the questions in paragraph 1?ATo lead in the topic.BTo make a comparison.CTo state an opinion.DTo ask a favor.13The study led by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar proves_ Acreativity is an individual characteristic Blibrarians are more creative than poets Cordinary objects can improve creativity Dyour creativity is determined by yourself 14According to Dr.Pillay,Halloweenism works because _.Ait is an act of unconscious focus Bcertain brain areas begin to act together Cpeople are in a state of laziness Dall actors employ this technique 15If you want to be more creative,you are supposed to _.Afocus on a specific task Bbelieve in your own talent Cpretend to be someone else Dturn to be right-brained 第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题，每小题小题，每小题 2.5 分，共分，共 12.5 分）分）阅读下面短文，从选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。Unlike IQ,emotional intelligence is
