Yingzi, a woman from Shanghai, first became famous online by posting short videos. In those videos, she walked city streets in high-heeled (高跟的) shoes, danced and took different stylish photos. Later, she gained huge popularity across social media. People love her bold (大胆的) fashion style, confident manners and warm positive energy, especially her surprisingly young-looking face.
For Yingzi, expensive makeup products are not the secret to staying young. True youth comes from self-confidence and living the life you really want. Though she is already 70 and her son is 45, her youthful charm does not come easily. She sticks to strict healthy rules every day: no food after 5 p.m., more soup, vegetables and high-protein food rather than rice or noodles, and one hour of yoga every morning.
Yingzi loved beauty and fashion when she was little, yet she never thought she could make a job out of these hobbies. Back in the 1980s, she ran a kindergarten before moving to Japan with her husband and son. She worked in a local restaurant for years and learned many life skills there. She even opened her own Chinese restaurant and was reported by a famous magazine. Still, she chose to come back to China in the end.
When she turned 70 in 2022, she joined “Beijing Fashion Grandmas”. The members of this fashion team are over 65 on average. Taking part in the group helped her realize her childhood dream — she stepped onto the model runway at Shanghai Disneyland and showed off her great style.
1.1.What do people love most about Yingzi?
A Her youthful look.
B Her dance classes.
C Her Chinese restaurant.
D Her photo studio.
解析:选A。A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“People love her bold fashion style, confident manners and warm positive energy, especially her surprisingly young-looking face”可知,人们最喜欢的是她那令人惊讶的年轻面容,因此A项“Her youthful look”正确。B项“她的舞蹈课”、C项“她的中餐馆”和D项“她的照相馆”在文中均未出现,更不是人们最喜欢的地方,因此排除。故选A。
2.2. How does Yingzi keep good looks?
A She buys costly makeup products.
B She keeps regular healthy habits.
C She eats rice for every meal.
D She does yoga only on weekends.
解析:选B。B 细节理解题。 第二段明确指出“expensive makeup products are not the secret to staying young”,并列举了英子每天坚持的健康规则:下午 5 点后不进食、多喝汤和蔬菜及高蛋白食物、每天早上做一小时瑜伽。由此可见,她靠的是“regular healthy habits”来保持良好状态,B 项正确;A 项与原文“昂贵的化妆品不是秘诀”相悖;C 项与原文“rather than rice or noodles”矛盾;D 项与“every morning”不符,因此均不选。故选B。
3.3. What did Yingzi do after moving to Japan?
A She ran a kindergarten.
B She joined a fashion group.
C She worked in a local restaurant.
D She became a model at Disneyland.
解析:选C。C 细节理解题。第三段提到“Back in the 1980s, she ran a kindergarten before moving to Japan... She worked in a local restaurant for years”,说明搬到日本后她在当地餐厅工作多年,C 项正确;A 项“经营幼儿园”是赴日之前的事;B 项“加入时尚团体”和 D 项“在迪士尼当模特”均是她 70 岁回中国之后发生的事,不选。故选C。
4.4. What do we know about the members of “Beijing Fashion Grandmas”?
A Most are younger than sixty-five.
B Nearly all are senior women.
C They work at Disneyland daily.
D They start the group in 2020.
解析:选B。B 推理判断题。第四段指出“The members of this fashion team are over 65 on average.”,即团队成员平均年龄超过 65 岁,由此可合理推断她们几乎都是老年女性,B 项正确;A 项“大多数小于 65 岁”与原文“over 65 on average”直接矛盾;C 项“每天在迪士尼工作”曲解了原文“stepped onto the model runway at Shanghai Disneyland”这一走秀事实;D 项“2020 年成立”文中并未提及,均不选。故选B。
5.5. What is the main message of the passage?
A Fashion is only for young people.
B Age always limits people’s dreams.
C Healthy diet is enough to stay young.
D It’s never too late to live wonderfully.
解析:选D。D 主旨大意题。文章最后一段点明主旨:英子认为“age is a treasure instead of a wall stopping you”,并总结她的故事告诉我们“confidence, self-discipline, and a positive attitude can make anyone shine at any age”。这正对应 D 项“It’s never too late to live wonderfully.”(精彩地生活永远不会太晚);A 项“时尚只属于年轻人”与文章倡导的时尚无关年龄的观点相反;B 项“年龄总是限制梦想”与原文“age is... not a wall stopping you”相悖;C 项“健康饮食足以保持年轻”过于片面,文章强调的是自信、自律和积极态度的综合作用,而非仅靠饮食,因此均不选。故选D。
