Thats because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza, Tokyo sells only a single book at a time.Opened in May 2020, Morioka Shoten is the brainchild (脑力劳动成果；发明；主意) of Yoshiyuki Morioka. He began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyos Kanda district before branching out into opening his own store. It was here while organizing book reading and signing that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind. Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling multiple copies of just one single book. In November 2020, he partnered Masamichi Toyama to establish a unique bookstore with the philosophy of a single room with a single book.The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests. Recent choices include The True Deceiver, an award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson, Hans Andersens fairy tales, and a collection of Karl Blossfeldts photography of plants. Morioka has also selected books written by a famous Japanese author Mimei Ogawa.To highlight his only offering, Morioka often uses clever tricks. For example, when selling a book about flowers, the storekeeper decorates his shop with the ones that have been mentioned in the book. He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers. Morioka says his goal is to let customers experience being inside a book, not just a bookstore.Risky as the idea might seem, things appear to be going well. The storekeeper says he has sold over 2,100 books. Things can get better given that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors from other countries.25. What inspired Morioka to open such a bookstore?A. A Swedish novel B. His present partner C. A bookstore clerk D. His working experience26. Why is Morioka Shoten unique?A. It is popular with foreignersB. It sells books of different topicsC. It is decorated with colorful flowersD. It sells various copies of a book in a week27. Why does Morioka encourage authors to hold talks?A. To introduce his bookstoreB. To advocate his philosophyC. To make books better understoodD. To help readers connect with each other28. Whats the authors opinion about the bookstores future?A. RiskyB. PromisingC. UnpredictableD. Hopeless.CObviously, most people who try to lose weight generally focus all or most of their attention on the food they eat. But what about their behavior? Are there habits they could be breaking that would also help them lose weight?According to the Ohio State University Extension, which summarized the findings, the researchers learned people who routinely ate breakfasts, lunches, and dinners tended to have more success losing weight than people whose eating schedules were irregular. As a bonus, they were also more likely to eat a larger quantity of fruits and vegetables.One activity that brought a disaster to people who wanted to lose weight was watching television, particularly if they ate while watching TV-especially if they ate while watching TV after 7 p.m. People who did these things, including simply watching a lot of television, tended to have a higher body mass index (BMI), as well as a higher intake of fat and sugars.Those who ate out a lot also tended to take in more fat and sugars, while eating fewer fruits and vegetables. For the purposes of the study, eating away from home was defined not only as eating in restaurants but also eating food provided by an employer or colleagues at work, buying food at convenience stores or gas stations, or buying food for fund-raisers.Finally, the best results were achieved by those motivated people who kept writing the track of the amount and type of exercise they did and how many calories they ate, who planned meals, and used meal replacements. Those who did these things the most generally lost more weight, ate less fat and sugars, ate more fruits and vegetables, and engaged in more physical activities.So cutting out all those high-calorie snacks will help you lose weight. If so, apparently, will change some of your habits and behavior.29. According to the researchers we can know that_.A. losing weight depends on food a person eat B. regular eating routine is good for losing weightC. fruits and vegetables can keep you healthy D. eating irregularly will leave you in a good figure30. Why did some people fail to lose weight?A. Because they had a particular love for sweets B. Because they were fond of watching TV at nightC. Because they developed a kind of bad habit D. Because they did nothing but watch TV after 7 p.m.31. The fourth paragraph implies that_.A. the bosses like to invite his employees to dinner B. more and more people are content to eat outC. eating away from home does harm to health D. it is very convenient to have dinners outside32. What is the authors purpose in the passage?A. To encourage people to eat at homeB. To inspire people to take exerciseC. To advise people to refuse caloriesD. To help people get more motivationDHow much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, new research found. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13, 800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference(头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth, says the author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers. She added, Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on the verbal IQ at age 6. This may be because neural (神经的) structures for the verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and the IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Lisa Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies life,” Dr. Lisa Smithers said.The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention(干预) in the management of that feeding.33. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?A. By asking questions B. By making comparison C. By having a discussion D. By referring to documents34. According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that_.A. a kids verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six B. this study helps parents find feeding problemsC. quick weight gain benefits newly-born babies on the verbal IQD. this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding35. The study differs from previous ones that _.A.it associates early postnatal diet with the IQ B.it pays attention to the IQ of newly-born babiesC.it emphasizes the significance of successful feedingD.it first focuses on the relation between the IQ and weight gain in the first month of life第二节（共5小题；每小题2分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Its an unquestioned truth of modern life that we are starved for time. We try our best to save bits of time here and there. Add it up, and we will finally do everything we want. But this idea has been completely backward. 36 We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.Do we really have no time? “I don t have time often means” Its not a priority(优先事项). Time is highly flexible. We cannot make more time. However, time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to put into it. So not doing something is not a matter of lacking time; 37 Actually its a matter of choice.How do we treat our priorities? First, we need to figure out what our priorities are. Actually we may give ourselves a performance review. What did we do that made it so amazing? Next, we can write them into the next years performance review. We will have a list of six to ten goals we can work on next year. 3839 Scientists find the really good time to do this is Friday afternoon. Friday afternoon is what an economist might call the low opportunity cost time. Most of us do not sit there on Friday afternoon saying, I am excited to make progress toward my personal and professional priorities right now. But we are willing to think about what those should be. So take a little bit of time on Friday afternoon, and make a list of three-category priorities: careers, relationships and self.Its about looking at the whole of ones time and seeing where the good aspects can go. There is time. 40 And when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in time weve got.A. its that we are too busy with it.B. its that we dont want to do it.C. When do we plan our priorities?D. Make sure theres time for the important things.E. We dont build the lives we want by saving time.F. Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters.G. And then we need to break these down into doable steps.第三部分: 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）When I think back to my childhood, I like to recall the super-heroes that filled my Saturday morning cartoon marathons.
