26、 As globalization continues to make the world a smaller place, and goods become more accessible across borders,concerns about food safety in the AsiaPacific region have steadily risen over the years. An APEC forum is being held in Beijing, to find ways to better address the problem.
156 participants from 19 APEC economies and 4 non-APEC members attended the APEC Food Safety Cooperation Forum. Created 7 years ago, the forum has been actively looking for ways to strengthen food safety standard in the region, without affecting trade.
“As consumers are faced with more varieties of food, the potential food safety risk also becomes bigger. This forum has helped APEC economies to cooperate in supervision (监督), exchange information, and improve the overall food safety standard in the AsiaPacific region,” said director of China's General Administration of Quality Supervision Wu Qinghai.
For the first time the forum has brought together highlevel regulators, academics, and industry stakeholders to talk about their respective roles in safety supervision. They say governments alone cannot shoulder this heavy duty.
In China, the continuous food safety problems have greatly hurt consumers' confidence in domestic products; therefore more turned to imports. However, problems related to quality of those imported goods also began to show. In July this year, more than 400 batches (批)of food imports from 35 countries and regions were found substandard by the country's top quality supervisor.
Governments and industries have been brought closer by this forum. As food moves more freely beyond borders, this forum is hoped to promote safety control cooperation, so APEC members can better benefit from the economic integration (经济一体化).
【1】What kind of function can the forum play?
A.It has greatly influenced the economy in the area.
B.It has long been able to put every side's efforts together.
C.It helps to bring government regulators and industries together.
D.It has found ways to deal with safety problems.
【2】The last but one paragraph tells us that ________.
A.the Chinese customers are more satisfied with their food safety
B.food imported from other countries are indeed high in quality
C.many Chinese customers would rather buy some foreign food
D.there are only 35 countries and regions exporting food to China
【3】The underlined word “address” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A.send a letter about B.deal with
C.deliver a speech on D.call off
【4】According to the article, which of the following statements is WRONG?
A.People can buy foreign food more easily than ever.
B.The more varieties of food, the bigger the potential food safety risk.
C.Food safety problems have appeared many times before this forum.
D.Governments have started their cooperation with academies and industries before this forum.
27、 When you feel that midafternoon slump(消沉) is coming on, should you fight it and get on with your day, or lie on the couch for a while. This may not be a problem that a huge number of people fight with regularly. But a new study suggests that if you’re watching your blood pressure, taking a midday nap may be a step in the right direction.
It’s long been known that naps, when done right, can leave you feeling fresh and energetic. Whether they can carry any immediate cardiovascular(心血管的) benefits has been less clear, even though this could affect the health of millions of people around the world.
“We all know that lifestyle changes stand for the basis of treatment for high blood pressure,” says Manolis Kallistratos, MD, an expert at Asklepieion General Hospital in Voula, Greece. “We also know that certain cultures have the habit of sleep during midday.” These two observations led Dr. Kallistratos and his colleagues to survey the effects of napping on blood pressure in a number of different ways.
On March 18, a study was showed at the American College of Cardiology 2019 meeting in New Orleans. Scientists wanted to find out whether taking a nap can influence people whose blood pressure is fairly well controlled, but who could still benefit from lower levels. The study included 212 adults with an average age of 62, whose average systolic blood pressure was 129. 9 mmHg. The researchers found that people who napped had systolic blood pressure that was 5. 3 mmHg lower, on average than in those who didn’t nap.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The coach. B. The new study. C. A midday nap. D. Midafternoon slump.
【2】Why does the author mention Dr. Kallistratos’ words?
A. To introduce some Dr. Kallistratos’ findings.
B. To provide the reason for Dr. Kallistratos’ research.
C. To show us some advice on keeping healthy.
D. To tell us the effects of napping on blood pressure.
【3】What did the study on March 18 want to find out?
A. People who napped are unhealthy.
B. People taking a nap have the lowest blood pressure.
C. Taking a nap is good for health.
D. To tell us the effects of napping on blood pressure.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A. Taking a nap may help lower blood pressure.
B. Taking nap can make you weak.
C. Taking a nap can make your blood pressure higher.
D. Taking a nap may cause a problem.

29、Scientists have long known a reliable way to lose weight in lab animals; Cut the amount of calories(卡路里) by 10 percent to 40 percent. A new study suggests that in young and middle-aged adults, taking in 300 caloric less every day can also have a big influence on their body weight and health.
In the new study published this month in the Lancet, researchers looked at a group of 143 healthy men and women aging from 21 to 50. They could eat the foods they wanted as long as they cut about 12 percent of their total calories, or roughly 300 calories a day.
The group saw their health improve. For example, their blood pressure fell, and they had better blood sugar control.
“The benefits came from the fact that they lost about 16 pounds over the two years of the study,” said William Kraus, the lead author of the study and a professor of medicine at Duke University.
“We were surprised by these changes,” he added. “In a disease population, there aren't five drugs in combination(组合) that would get such a big improvement.”
Calories cut may be useful for better health and weight loss, said Frank Hu, the chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health. But he questioned whether caloric cut would be possible for most people since we are living in an environment with so many energy-rich, nutrient-poor foods that are cheap, and heavily advertised.
He suggested, however, that some people might find calorie cut possible if they combined it with other popular diets like the Mediterranean diet.
Dr. Kraus said, “It’s not that hard to cut as little as 300 calories a day from their diets. It just takes an after-dinner snack.”
【1】How much calories does a middle-aged adult usually take in each day?
A.About 300.
B.About 750.
C.About 2,500.
D.About3,000.
【2】What led to the health benefits in the new study according to William Kraus?
A.The combination of five drugs.
B.The weight loss.
C.The energy-rich snacks.
D.The delicious foods.
【3】What is Frank Hu’s attitude toward the advice in the new study?
A.Doubtful.
B.Favorable.
C.Uncaring.
D.Curious.
【4】What can be the suitable title for the text?
A.Hot Debate on Different Weight-losing Diets
B.New Health Guidelines Published for the Adults
C.The Easiest Way to Stay Fit and Healthy Ever Found
D.Cutting 300 Calories a Day to Stay Healthy Every Day

Although it was autumn,the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibet. Our legs were so heavy and cold that they felt like blocks of ice. Have you ever seen snowmen ride bicycles?That's what we looked like!Along the way children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternoon we found it was so cold that our water bottles froze. However,the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful. Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual. She is very reliable and I knew I didn’t need to encourage her. To climb the mountains was hard work but as we looked around us,we were surprised by the view. We seemed to be able to see for miles. At one point we were so high that we found ourselves cycling through clouds. Then we began going down the hills. It was great fun especially as it gradually became much warmer. In the valleys colorful butterflies flew around us and we saw many yaks and sheep eating green grass. At this point we had to change our caps, coats, gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.
In the early evening we always stop make camp. We put up tent and then we eat. After supper Wang Wei put her head down on her pillow and went to sleep but I stayed awake. At midnight the sky became clearer and the stars grew brighter. It was so quiet. There was almost no wind-only the flames of our fire for company.
Part 1
As I lay beneath the stars I thought about how far we had already traveled.
