21、 People who drink a lot of sugary drinks have a high risk of developing cancer, researchers announced last week. However, the evidence cannot yet establish a direct connection between the two. Drinking sugary drinks has become more common worldwide in the last several decades. Sugar drinks are linked to the condition of being extremely overweight, which increases a person’s cancer risk.
The study looked at data from just over 100,000 French adults — 21 percent of them men and 79 percent women. The researchers noted how many sugary drinks each of them had, and followed them for up to nine years — between 2009 and 2018. The researchers measured their risk for all types of cancer, such as breast, colon and prostate cancers.
The researchers adjusted for other possible cancer risks in each individual, including age, sex, educational level, family history, smoking and physical activity levels. They found that a 100-milliliter increase in sugary drinks was linked to an 18 percent increased risk of overall cancer and a 22 percent increased risk of breast cancer.
The researchers looked at those who drank fruity juices and those who drank other sweet drinks. Both groups, they found, showed a higher risk of cancer overall. For prostate and colon cancers, no link was found. The researchers said this might have been because there were only a limited number of cases of these cancers in the study group.
Amelia Lake, an expert at Britain’s Teesside University, said while this study doesn’t provide a clear cause and effect between sugar and cancer, it does add to the importance of efforts to reduce sugar intake. Many countries, including Britain, France and Mexico, have introduced taxes on sugar with the aim of improving people’s health.
【1】What does the underlined word “establish” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Confirm. B.Deny. C.Spread. D.Affect.
【2】What do we know about the study?
A.It took over ten years to carry out the research.
B.The subjects of the study are mainly British.
C.More evidence is needed to support the result.
D.Some countries are doubtful about the study.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A.Fruity juices are not related to cancer.
B.Amelia Lake doesn’t agree with the study.
C.Men are more likely to develop cancer.
D.Sugary drinks may increase the risk of cancers.
【4】In which section of a magazine might the text appear?
A.Business. B.Health. C.Environment. D.Culture.
22、I met the last speaker of Naati on an empty stretch of beach on Malekula, an island in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu. I told the man, Ariep, that I was in the country to study one of its native languages. When he learned I was a linguist, he excitedly shared that he speaks Naati.
Ariep explained the relationship between Naati and the other languages of the area. With a mix of pride and sorrow, he revealed that he is the last fluent speaker of Naati. Although a few of his family members have some knowledge of the language and make an effort to use it together, he fears that with his death, Naati will soon disappear. Naati’s situation is not unique. Of the about 7000 languages spoken on the planet today, 50% to 90% are considered vulnerable to extinction by the end of the century.
Languages are an invaluable source of culture. Understanding different languages is vital to understanding human cognition. A world with diverse languages benefits us all. Each language isa piece of the puzzle that we need in order to determine how language works in the mind. With each missing piece, we are further from seeing the full picture.
There are enough commonalities among language systems. In terms of sentence structure, all languages use the three basic elements: subject, object, and verb. Although these can be ordered in different ways, about 80% of known languages put the subject first, while only about 1% put the object first. Analyzing these patterns has real impacts for our lives. The more we understand about how language functions, the better equipped we are to improve our therapies for communication disorders and our methods for language teaching.
However, taking into account all languages is a huge challenge. Many languages are in danger of disappearing before they have been documented, taking with them irreplaceable information about human culture. For the sake of the speakers of endangered languages, for the sake of us all, we must preserve the world’s languages as we search for answers and work to ensure language diversity for generations to come.
【1】What do we know about Ariep?
A．He looks forward to leaving Malekula.
B．He speaks many foreign languages fluently.
C．He is worried about the disappearance of Naati.
D．He is devoted to studying endangered languages.
【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．Ways to break down language barriers.
B．The significance of language diversity.
C．Reasons for the extinction of languages.
D．The impact of human cognition on languages.
【3】Why does the author mention sentence structure in paragraph 4?
A．To show the difficulty of learning grammar.
B．To present the functions of language systems.
C．To analyze the methods of language teaching.
D．To prove the connection among different languages.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A．How Do Native Languages Develop?
B．Why Are Languages Worth Preserving?
C．How Can We Protect Endangered Languages?
D．What Makes Naati Unique in Human Language?
23、 This centuries-old town of stone homes could be any rural (农村的) village in Europe. It reached its maximum population at around the turn of the last century, and since then it has slowly emptied until, in 2007, its public school finally shut its doors.
“They say when a town loses its school it loses its soul,”says the governor of St. -Pierre-de-Frugie, Gilbert Chabaud, who was elected to office the following year. After the village’s only restaurant closed too, Gilbert took up his post with a central question, “What can we do to make it come back to life, to make people come here?”
Gilbert, who himself left St. -Pierre-de-Frugie to work in the automobile industry before retiring, found his answer in sustainability (可持续发展). He opened up a store for local producers to sell their vegetables which were grown without using any artificial chemicals. He opened a community (社区) garden and ongoing ecological workshops that encourage knowledge-sharing among the community.
He has a businessman's knowledge: he is making use of the idea shared across the West by many people looking for an alternative to the high-pace urban life. And after the rapid urbanization of the 1950s and 1960s left many villages across Europe abandoned or only partially used, a mini urban-to-rural flow is under way.
Since taking office, 40 new people have moved here — most of them from the cities, bringing the population up to 400. Last year a new school opened in the village. Gilbert is eyeing a bigger place for a new school.
Just a few months ago, lulia Timofticiuc and her partner Guillaume Bled were living in Paris. They were concerned about global environment and at a more micro level about what foods they were consuming and where they were coming from. “We wanted to live lighter, be productive, and be autonomous,” Timofticiuc says. But they didn’t just want to go anywhere. They wanted to go where things were already happening. So they chose St. -Pierre-de-Frugie.
【1】What can we learn about the village St. Pierre-de-Frugie?
A.Its population began to rise at the turn of the 20th century.
B.Its public school was closed for lack of students.
C.It used to be a popular rural village in Europe.
D.It became completely empty in 2007.
【2】What did Gilbert do to help his hometown?
A.He quit his job to lead the village.
B.He sold green vegetables to local settlers.
C.He increased people's ecological awareness.
D.He encouraged people to share their harvest.
【3】Why did lulia Timofticiuc choose St.-Pierre-de-Frugie?
A.It allows people to grow their own food.
B.It has done a lot to be eco-friendly.
C.It is less crowded.
D.It is autonomous.
【4】Which section of a newspaper is the text probably taken from?
A.History. B.Culture.
C.Education. D.Society.
24、Reading books and looking at pictures are great, but nothing facilitates (促进) learning like travel, especially for teenagers. Not only do they get to see a world beyond their neighborhood, they also get to experience it—feel it, taste it, hear it and better understand the world around them.
After nearly four decades in the classroom and traveling the world, Phyllis Duvall Bailey knew this better than anyone else.
Becoming involved in the work in AKA Sorority Inc in US, she worked to educate children about the United Nations. There was no doubt in Bailey's mind that the lessons would mean so much more if the students could see things for themselves.
Starting in 2015, Bailey, 82, set out to take her students to the UN Headquarters in New York City to give them a “Window Seat to the World”, and thus transformed them into global citizens.
Indeed, it is a great opportunity to give students national and international exposure. Since Bailey saw the students as future leaders, she was desperate to expose them to the UN, its mission, its agendas (议程) and its supporting organizations.
She decided to give $10, 000 of her own money to pay for the late June trip, enough to take 10 students aged 14-17 on a four-night stay in New York.
There, they had guided tours of the UN Headquarters and the New York City Harbor (海港).It was Quenyaun Payne's first trip to the city and Taylor Sappington's second. Payne, 17, is a senior at Mceachem High School in the state of Georgia, US. Sappington, 15, is a junior at Therrell High School in Atlanta, Georgia, US.
Both said their visit to the UN was inspiring.
“I like not only how countries are working together but they're focused on common goals like global warming and keeping peace,” Sappington said.
Payne commented, “The trip was amazing. I'm so thankful Mrs. Bailey made it possible.”
Actually, there are a lot of people grateful for the retired teacher's effort. The United Nations Association of Atlanta recently gave Bailey its Humanitarian Award, and the United Nations Association of the US awarded her with the National Education Award.
But Bailey wasn't looking for recognition or even gratitude. Over those four days in New York, she'd already felt it and seen it in the eyes of those 10 teenagers, Payne and Sappington included, who made the trip. “It has been a real joy to get to see and watch their reaction to new experiences,” she said.
【1】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to________.
A．how to organize a trip
B．the benefits of reading
C．how to develop good reading habits
D．the benefits of traveling
【2】How did Bailey help students?
A．She offered students voluntary opportunities at the UN.
B．She taught them some useful life-long learning skills.
C．She paid for trips that helped students see the world.
D．She paid for them to go to school .
【3】What can we infer from Sappington's words?
A．He is determined to work for the UN in the future.
B．He would like to contribute to global affairs.
C．He finds the trip to the UN greatly beneficial.
D．He wants to visit New York City once again.
【4】What would Bailey probably agree with?
A．Students today are more willing to get new experiences.
B．Winning an award motivated her to hard work.
C．Classroom teaching limits students’ development.
D．Students’ gains are more important than the recognition of her efforts.

26、Once upon a time some tiny frogs held a competition. The first to reach the top of a very high tower would be the winner.
A big crowd gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer them on.
The race began. No one in the crowd really believed that any of the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. “They will never get to the top! They will never succeed！” someone said.
One by one, the tiny frogs began to collapse(跌下).
The crowd kept shouting, “It is too difficult! No frog will make it！”
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up, but one continued climbing, higher and higher. This one wouldn’t give up.
In the end, he was the only one left—the only one to get to the top. The other frogs naturally wanted to know: How did the frog make it?
One frog stepped forward to ask the winner. It turned out that the winner was deaf.
He had won because he was able to keep his own mind. He was able to keep trying. He couldn’t hear criticism; neither could he hear praise.
We learn a lesson from this story: Don’t let others’ praise or criticism to hold you back on your way to success.
