阅读分析：本次阅读出题还是比较友好的，以填空题和判断题居多，平常练习中要多练习识别同义替换以及词性定位的能力，这类大概率以文章顺序出题的题型建议平常带着两道题的关键词回到原文检索，可以一定程度提高解题效率和避免定位错漏的情况出现。
本次阅读的P1也是从16年考到现在的一篇老题了，在过去的机考中也曾出现过它的身影，有兴趣的同学可以找来原题做一做；另外两篇阅读难度相对会大一些，尤其是一些比较难的专业词汇。
03、Writing 写作

写作解析：
本周的小作文还是比较友好的，写作难度不是很大，大家在写作的时候主要侧重总体趋势的归纳与总结，对于数据变化的表达也可以尽可能多样化一些。
大作文连续第三周考到了two-step question这类的文章写作，因此整体的思路框架建议按照原因+个人观点的四段式来行文。
首尾两段建议简洁一些，适当改写题目并直接指出文章主旨，最后对于文章有个简要概括即可。词汇基础比较好的同学可以在这两段适当展现一下自己同义替换的能力。
主体段部分Body1 关于这一现象的原因可以主要围绕社会观念、个人的容貌焦虑以及媒体宣传对大众审美的引导等因素上具体展开。
Body2 需要同学们围绕这一趋势阐述自己的观点，因此在首句要直接了当的抛出个人观点（也可以在文章开头直接提出），用剩余的篇幅作具体阐述，建议从个人与社会两个层面讨论，从经济和观念的角度切入。
根据以上思路，我们给出如下范文，供大家参考：
An increasing number of individuals today are investing significant sums in skincare products and cosmetic procedures to maintain a youthful appearance. This essay will explore the motivations behind this trend and argue that it has detrimental effects on self-esteem and societal values.
The desire for a youthful look is largely driven by societal expectations and personal insecurities. Modern media and advertising frequently celebrate youth as the pinnacle of beauty and success. Celebrities and influencers often endorse anti-aging products, creating an idealized standard that equates youth with attractiveness. This narrative is further reinforced in professional settings, where a bias towards younger-looking individuals persists, as youth is often associated with vitality and innovation. Consequently, many feel pressured to invest heavily in maintaining a youthful appearance to remain competitive in their careers.
The growing obsession with youth can have profound negative effects on individuals and society. Firstly, the relentless pursuit of a youthful appearance can diminish self-esteem and increase anxiety about the aging process. Many people become fixated on their looks, often neglecting the natural progression of life. Furthermore, the substantial amounts of money spent on cosmetic procedures often divert funds from more meaningful endeavors, such as education, personal development, or charitable contributions. This financial focus can lead to unnecessary financial strain, as individuals may prioritize beauty over stability. Additionally, the obsession with youth cultivates a culture of ageism, undermining the invaluable knowledge and experience that aging brings. Such a mindset not only diminishes the worth of older individuals but also fosters unrealistic standards of beauty that can harm societal cohesion.
In conclusion, while the desire to maintain a youthful appearance is driven by societal influences and perceived benefits, this trend is ultimately harmful. It adversely affects individual well-being and promotes superficial values that overshadow the importance of character and experience.
