(2024·武汉毕业班5月训练)For years, my time spent in the shower me a mention in Guinness World Records as the shortest time taken to up during this process.
One day, however, while at a party, I heard an artist friend telling his idea came while he was having a shower. “What about you？” he you get your creative thoughts from the same place？”
“I’m in and out in a hurry，” I told him proudly. “I have no time to waste！”
“What a pity，” he said. “That’s the place where you need to slow down; plenty of great thoughts come from there！” I tried it out. I slowed down the whole process, started enjoying the warm water, taking a little longer to soap myself and even spending more time just enjoying the process, and realized how much I had missed in hurrying up all these years.
A woman told me how much stress her friend was suffering from and how she sought to convince her that she needed to find ways to relax. She gave her a videotape on stress management and relaxation techniques, and encouraged her to watch it right away. Fifteen minutes later, her friend handed back the tape．“It was good，” she said，“but I don’t need it．”
“But it’s a 70-minute video，”the woman replied. “You couldn’t have watched the whole thing．” “Yes, I did，” her friend said．“I put it in fast-forward！”
A major social problem of the 21st century is Hurry Sickness. We hurry through work. We swallow fast food. We complain that we don’t have enough time. We race through the days and weeks until one day we look back in amazement and comment，“Oh, how the years flew by！”Then we realize the heavy price we have paid for traveling fast.
Symptoms of Hurry Sickness include stress and anxiety, bad relationships, poor work performance and even disease. Some people don’t survive it. What’s the cure? Slow down, for life is so short and precious that we must live it well.

(2024·山西八校第一次联考)Many Americans spend Thanksgiving with family and friends around a table of roast turkey, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce.
But for others, it’s a competition．Across the United States, there are contests to see who can eat the most pumpkin(南瓜) pie. These events start in October and continue through Thanksgiving. Elk Grove, California hosts the World Pumpkin Pie Eating Championship. Matt Stonie won in 2014 by eating 20 pounds, 13 ounces of pumpkin pie in 8 minutes. In other words, about 9 and a half kilograms. That was a “world record”， reported by the Major League Eating (MLE) in New York City. Stonie won $5，000.
The MLE website praised Stonie: “Like a silent car at top speed driving past you on the highway; like the boxer with lightning blows; like a speedskater in a very tight bodysuit, long limbs stretching faster than the clock can tick. The great one makes it look easy．”
Some of the pumpkin pie eating contests are turned into gluttony(暴饮暴食). Others have a more light-hearted approach to pumpkin pie eating contests. Students at the Duthie Center for Engineering in Louisville, Kentucky posted their pumpkin pie eating contest on Facebook. It was a friendly social affair. In Broomfield, Colorado, their Turkey Day celebration takes a different approach. They hold a pumpkin pie eating contest, but contestants just have to eat one piece of pie (or about one-sixth of a pie) as fast as possible. There’s a 5 kilometer race and a 10 kilometer

race afterwards, for those who want to lose weight.
And at Pumpkin Palooza—a pumpkin pie eating contest in Sparks, Nevada—the organizers note on their website, “The winners are chosen by audience applause, so style, talent and humor are the be-all and end-all．”

B 解析：推理判断题。第三段提到“像一辆安静的汽车在高速公路上以最快的速度从你身边驶过；像拳击手闪电般地出拳；像速滑运动员穿着非常紧身的赛服，四肢伸展的速度比时钟嘀嗒作响的速度都快。杰出的选手让它看起来很容易”，这部分是通过把Stonie吃南瓜馅饼的速度与汽车、拳击手和速滑运动员的速度进行对比来突出Stonie吃的速度以及他给观众的毫不费力的感觉。故选B。
6．Whose approach is contrary to the light-hearted approach? A．Major League Eating.
B．World Pumpkin Pie Eating Championship. C．The Turkey Day races in Broomfield, Colorado. D．Pumpkin Palooza in Sparks, Nevada.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段可知，World Pumpkin Pie Eating Championship比的是谁吃得最多，这当然不会是轻松的(light-hearted)。故选B。
7．What do people value most in the Turkey Day celebration in Broomfield? A．Health. C．Competition.
B．Energy. D．Skill.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“contestants just have to eat one piece of pie (or about one-sixth of a pie) as fast as possible...for those who want to lose weight”可知， 在这里参加比赛的人只比赛吃一块南瓜馅饼的速度，随后的赛跑是为那些要减轻体重的人准备的，故可推知，在Broomfield的Turkey Day celebration中， 人们最注重健康。故选A。
8．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase? A．random C．endless
B．playful D．vital
D 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线部分前的“The winners are chosen by audience applause, so style, talent and humor”可知， 这个比赛的胜者由观众的掌声选出，因此可推知，参赛者的风格、才能和幽默感很重要，故vital与画线部分意义相近。故选D。
