24、 Divided into two groups, the students were busy in a kitchen at the High Point Community Center in Seattle, US. Instructor Asia Faircloth taught one group how to cook vermicelli (意式细面) bowls with chicken. The other group joined Jacob Alhadeff to practice new skills with knives.
The center’s four-week cooking course was centered on cooking and food justice. To teach more people about the importance of having nutritious food, the city had students from low-income families through social media. Each student received 100 dollars (700 yuan) at the end of the course.
“Low-income people are more likely to feel the effects of food injustice,” Alhadeff said. “So providing cooking instruction and putting money back in the pockets of our community members seemed like a no-brainer (容易做的决定).”
Alhadeff and Faircloth started the course not only to teach kids how to cook, but also to encourage them to think more deeply about food. They were shown how to connect personal choices with the economic cost of obesity, climate change and global food supplies.
Tahir Adams and Najah Goodrich, two juniors at Seattle Lutheran High School, joined the classes. They talked about how farmers have a hard time putting food on their own kitchen tables while growing fresh products for the rest of the country. They were proud of the new skills and recipes they learned.
“We started with more personal things, then looked at the bigger, global view ... like, how climate change is related to food,” Adams said. “It can be really bad when droughts turn places into actual deserts and droughts cause civil unrest.”
【1】What do we know about the cooking course?
A.It focused only on cooking. B.It was held in Seattle, US.
C.Its students were from wealthy families. D.Each student got 100 dollars at the beginning of the course.
【2】In Paragraph 3, Alhadeff________.
A.explains the standards for choosing students B.complains that community members are stupid
C.proves that it’s a good idea to give students free money D.explains why the course provides cooking instruction
【3】In the course, students were ________.
A.taught how to reduce obesity B.taught to focus on problems about food safety
C.taught to make their own choices D.encouraged to think more deeply about food
【4】What can we conclude from what Adams and Goodrich said?
A.They learned nothing from the course. B.They learned recipes from farmers.
C.The course widened their views on food. D.The course taught them how to solve droughts.
25、 Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform (制服), whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity (身份) than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax- deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality (个人) experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial (最初的) expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.
【1】It is surprising that Americans who take pride in variety and individuality ________.
A. still judge a man by his clothes
B. enjoy having a professional identity
C. think highly of uniform
D. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform
【2】People are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform ________.
A. discards his social identity
B. suggests quality work
C. appears to be more practical
D. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes
【3】The chief function of a uniform is to ________.
A. provide practical benefits to the wearer
B. make the wearer catch the public eye
C. inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself
D. provide the wearer with a professional identity
【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage above?
A. Americans are proud of their variety and individuality instead of a uniform.
B. People trust the television repairman who wears uniform more than one who appears in civilian clothes.
C. Uniforms are more expensive than civilian clothes but they are durable.
D. Uniforms have many practical benefits as well as problems.
【5】The best title for this passage would be ________.
A. Uniforms and Society
B. Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms
C. Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform
D. The Importance of Wearing a Uniform
26、
① More and more teachers say the digital age has had a good and a not-so-good influence on the American teenagers. More than 2,000 high school teachers took an online survey. 75 percent of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly good” use for their students' research habits and skills. But 87 percent agreed that these technologies “make the students not have enough attention.” And 64 percent said the technologies “do little to help them in courses.”
② The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is a voice director of the National Writing Project. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. Teachers really like these tools, because they are ways to make some of learning exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. And the goal is to help them become creative students of meaningful work, and not just that kind of copyist.
③ But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy. In other words, they trust too much of the information. Judy, Buchanan says these students, have not developed the skills they need to tell whether the online information is good or bad.
④ Another problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem at all, being-able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the ability of their students to work hard to find answers is becoming weaker. They say students depend too much on search engines (引擎) and do not make enough use of printed books or research, librarians.
⑤ Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others, instead of using their own abilities.
【1】What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?
A.Digital search tools are playing a key role.
B.Students don't know how to use the digital search tools.
C.Many teachers are worried about the students' abilities.
D.Digital tools bring about benefits and problems.
【2】How is the passage organized?
A. B.
C. D.
【3】The underline sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means _______________.
A.many students can’t understand how to use the digital knowledge well.
B.many students don’t have the right digital tools.
C.many students can’t find the information from the Internet.
D.many students don’t trust their university teachers.
【4】What is the next paragraph probably about?
A.Show an online survey from students. B.Show another benefit of digital tools.
C.Show the solutions to the problems. D.Show the names of digital tools.
27、We have all been there. It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. In fact, the more you try NOT to think about a square of deep, dark chocolate melting in your mouth, the more you want it. You can even smell it!
A food craving is a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal. Most people have them even though what we crave might be different. One person might crave sweet chocolate, while another might crave salty potato chips.
Sometimes the foods we crave are not super healthy ones but rather fatty or sugary foods. Or sometimes we crave foods from our childhoods, like American meatloaf, Polish pirogues or Vietnamese pho. Other times the cravings may be for something healthy but very specific, such as Japanese sushi or Korean kimchi.
But where do food cravings come from? And how are they different from hunger?
Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simply connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.”
The website explains that when our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone sends a message to one part of the brain, the hypothalamus, for more food. The hypothalamus (丘脑下部)regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then releases a chemical to start the appetite. And you eat.
A craving is more complicated. It involves several areas of the brain. These areas make up the reward center of the brain. A craving can also be tied to our mental state and memory. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.”
In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increase the probability of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time, lessened food cravings.
So, the next time you crave food from your childhood or have a strong desire for something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.
【1】How are cravings different from hunger?
A.Hunger is a fairly simply connection between the stomach and the brain.
B.A craving can also be tied to our mental state and memory.
C.The more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it.
D.Scientists call hunger “stomach hunger” but cravings “mind hunger”.
【2】All of the following foods are mentioned EXCEPT ________.
A.Vietnamese pho
B.Korean kimchi
C.Swiss black chocolate
D.American meatloaf
【3】What does the underlined word “fasting” probably mean in Paragraph 8?
A.eating no food for a period of time
B.happening, moving, or doing something at great speed
C.tightly and firmly
D.not changing your mind
【4】What can we learn about food cravings from the passage?
A.If you go on a diet, it’s more likely for you to crave food.
B.When we crave food, it shows that we are hungry.
C.We eat when our brain releases a chemical to start the appetite.
D.The foods we crave are not super healthy ones but rather fatty or sugary foods.
28、根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整、通顺。
Dear boys and girls, as we all know that all of you have got the chance to study online because of the serious situation around China. How exciting it is for many of you guys! 【1】, along with the excitement, you may meet some problems like spending too much time playing games while having online classes and so on. These problems might make 【2】 impossible for you to study well. So what can we do to improve our online studies? Here are some pieces of advice for you.
Ensure a good connection
To me, the biggest headache about studying online is the poor quality of my Internet connection. 【3】 one of my online classes, I couldn’t hear my English teacher’s voice and I had to reconnect. It wasted lots of time. Since then, I have checked my network before class every day and asked other family members not to use the 【4】 while I’m having a class. (Zhao Yuchen, 13, Beijing )
【5】 your time properly
Studying at home has made it hard for me to plan my time. I had a hard time planning my course timetable at first. Planning 【6】of time and creating a study calendar is very important. You need to estimate (估计) how much time each task will 【7】, review your class content(内容), ask questions and take notes, and make a to-do list before doing your homework. These are all good ways to help us learn better online. (Lin Xiyu, 14, Shanghai)
No distractions(分心)
Online learning takes strong self-discipline (自律) and willpower. There are lots of distractions while studying at home. My mom likes to offer me snacks and drinks, which sometimes distracts me from listening during my classes. I have asked her to stop interrupting (干扰) me while I’m studying. A 【8】 room and clean desk can help us pay full attention to what we do. (Zhang Penghui, 15, Heilongjiang)
29、 It's hard to go anywhere these days without seeing people staring at their smart-phones, but one place that still asks you to turn them off is the cinema. But even this may be about to change. In _______interview with Variety, Adam Aron, CEO of one of the _______cinema chains in the world, AMC, said the company is considering allowing phones to be used in its US theaters.
Aron said the plan was to draw more millennials into cinemas as a way of _______the industry's number of audience. "When you tell 22-year-olds to turn off the phone so as not to ruin the movie, they hear please cut off your left arm above the elbow. You _______tell 22-year-olds to turn off their cellphones. That's not _______they live their lives," he said.
"We need to reshape our product in some concrete ways so that millennials go to movie theaters with the same degree of intensity _______baby boomers went to movie theaters throughout their lives."
Aron admits that _______the idea may attract some people, not everyone is going to appreciate having the glare of multiple smart-phone screens disturbing their cinema experience.
"We're going to have to figure out a way to do it that doesn't disturb today's audience, because today's moviegoers don't want anybody sitting next to _______texting or having their phone _______. But there are ads up there saying turn off your phone."
Aron did offer one possible solution that could potentially benefit everyone. He ________designating certain auditoriums as 'texting friendly,' ________would hopefully mean that those who can't bear to go without checking their phone ________few minutes can watch a movie in one screening room while everyone else can use ________.
Whether we do ever see 'texting screens' appearing in any of AMC's cinemas remains to ________. So far, the idea hasn't been very well received, with most people saying, rightly, that keeping a phone ________during a movie isn't a difficult task.
