22、Consumers in the US spend more money when doing the grocery shopping online, but spend less on sweets and desserts than when they shop in physical stores.

In recent years, online grocery shopping has grown massively. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the amount consumers spend through online shopping has more than doubled in the US.

Laura Zatz at Harvard University and her colleagues have looked at how people’s habits change when they’re spending in-store compared with shopping online. They hired 137 participants, who were regular consumers of two supermarkets in the US state of Maine. Each participant was the key shopper for their household, and they also had experience in shopping both online and in-store.

The researchers studied each participant for a total of 44 weeks and tracked what items they purchased. They collected data from a total of 5,573 transactions (交易), 1,062 of which were made online and 4,511 in-store. “They purchased more items when shopping online, both in terms of overall number of items but also a greater variety of unique items,’ says Zatz. On average, participants spent 44% more per transaction when shopping online than in-store.

The results show that people spent more money on sweets and desserts when shopping in-store, spending on average $ 2. 50 more per transaction. However, there was no difference in spending on sugary drinks.

It seems that in-store shopping attracts shoppers to unhealthier food choices. “When you’re shopping in-store, you’re facing all sorts of stimuli (刺激) that could make you more willing to buy unhealthy food groups when you might not have otherwise planned to,” says Zatz. Unhealthy food choices are often placed in supermarkets at the end of aisles(走道) and at checkouts, where you can easily see, touch or even smell the food.

“The findings could help consumers reflect on how to avoid unhealthy food purchasing choices, especially as complex marketing is coming online,” says Zatz. “Besides offering seemingly appealing discounts, online stores may follow physical stores in many ways. You can never be too careful when shopping online.”

【1】According to the text, the participants of the study are ________.

A．experienced regular shoppers

B．unlucky COVID-19 patients

C．working in large supermarkets

D．uninterested in online shopping

【2】Which of the following is the focus of the study?

A．The time spent on shopping online and in-store.

B．The amount of the money spent on healthy food.

C．The consumers’ attitudes towards unhealthy food.

D．The types of food people buy online and in-store.

【3】Why do consumers tend to buy unhealthy food in physical stores?

A．They have easier access to checkouts.

B．They are offered appealing discounts.

C．They are exposed to sensory stimuli.

D．They consume energy while shopping.

【4】What is Laura Zatz’s attitude towards shopping online?

A．Ambiguous.

B．Favorable.

C．Uncaring.

D．Cautious.

24、Have you ever read back something you’ve written and felt like it’s not quite as strong as you’d like? One possible reason is that you overuse crutch words (拐杖词). So, what are crutch words?

Crutch words are words a speaker or a writer uses without knowing it. They are usually not needed and don’t add to the story. If someone is speaking, you’ll recognize a crutch word as a pause, or if the speaker uses “um” or “ah” a lot. Crutch words in the conversation also include favorite words and phrases, such as “you know”, “anyway”, “just”, “all right” and “like”. They only give the speaker time to think before they move on to the next idea.

For writers, crutch words operate in much the same way, but instead of a pause, they’re filler words we use because we haven’t thought the sentence through enough. They’re words that are easy. They flow naturally into the space that could easily be occupied by a slight rewriting of a sentence or a different word choice.

Now that you know what crutch words are, the question is how you can get rid of them. It’s not always easy to notice your own writing quirks (怪癖), so it might take a bit of hard work to find what yours are.

The next time you sit down to read over your writing, look carefully for repeated words or phrases. Mark them so they’re easy to find later. Look at both an old and a new piece of writing and compare the two. Are there phrases or words you use a lot that are common to both? If yes, then you’ve found your crutch words.

Once you’ve known your crutch words, they’re easy to cut out later. But don’t be afraid if you find them in your first draft. Eliminating those words is exactly what revision is for.

【1】What might an article with too many crutch words be like?

A．Formal.

B．Weak.

C．Quality.

D．Easy.

【2】Which statement will the author probably agree with?

A．Crutch words are normally unnecessary.

B．Crutch words are unavoidable.

C．Crutch words give writers time to think.

D．Crutch words give writers different word choices.

【3】What does the author think about finding crutch words?

A．It’s strange.

B．It’s interesting.

C．It’s questionable.

D．It’s a bit difficult.

【4】What does the underlined word “Eliminating” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Returning.

B．Removing.

C．Recording.

D．Remembering.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“Go back, Mom! Go back!” shouted my six-year-old daughter, June. I quickly turned around to cast my doubtful eyes on the back seat, worried I had forgotten her younger sister. I was relieved to see the girls safe and sit in their car seats, but June’s expression was one of pure anxiety. “Mom, we have to go back,” she insisted. “Someone needs our help!”

As I looked back from the driver’s seat, I spotted a young man in rags playing his guitar. His skinny, poor-looking dog rested next to his feet near an old, worn cardboard sign that read, “Homeless, please help.”

We’d come across homeless people before and had talked about their needs and struggles. I should seize the chance to set a good example for my daughters to give a helping hand. So I searched for some cash, only to find I had nothing but credit cards. “I’m sorry, sweetheart, but I don’t have any cash,” I said. “I have some, Mom!” June replied. She opened her little pink purse and pulled out a five-dollar bill. “Oh, good. I’ll pay you back when we get home,” I responded with a sigh of relief. “No. Mom.” she insisted, “I want to help him. I don’t want you to pay me back. I want to give him my money.”

As we drove down the crowded rows of the parking lot, I reassured her that we would get to him.

When we got there. I called out, “Excuse me, sir!” He cautiously walked toward our car and answered, “Yes, ma’am?” “Here you go, sir.” June stretched out her entire body to hand him her five-dollar bill through the window and explained, “I want you to have this.” He smiled and hesitatingly asked, “This was your money?” “Yes! I want you to have it,” she proudly answered. “Thank you,” he said, touched by her thoughtfulness.

We exchanged a smile, and as we drove away, my younger daughter Scarlett began to cry. I hadn’t noticed that she had emptied her purse and was holding two quarters in her tiny hands.
