21、Here’s a new warning from health experts: sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long periods, even if you exercise regularly, could be bad for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place--in the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV. Just the overall number of hours it takes matters. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die. While health officials have issued(发布) guidelines advising on the least amounts of physical activities, they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.
“After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals,” said Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences. She explained that genes controlling the amount of glucose(葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.
Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day but still spend a lot of time sitting might get more benefits if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than in a single hour.
Still in a study that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether they exercised or not. Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.
People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits,” Ekblom-Bak said. “And when they’re in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible.”
【1】The underlined word “offset" in Paragraph 6 most probably means_______.
A. get rid of B. make use of
C. work out D. turn to
【2】Sitting too much is dangerous because it can________ .
A. increase glucose and fat in the body
B. make a person become lazy
C. destroy the balance of glucose and fat in the body
D. make a person unable to exercise enough in a day
【3】In the opinion of Ekblom-Bak, when at work, you’d better have a rest by_______ .
A. taking a walk around your office
B. chatting online or playing computer games
C. sending your friends emails
D. listening to music while sitting
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. More and More People Sit Too Much
B. Side Effects of Sitting Too Much
C. Don’t Sit Too Much While Working
D. Sitting Too Much Could Be Dangerous
22、A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new hightech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It's extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the goahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own，” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it's connected to，” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, offboard power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a builtin power source, so that it might someday perform datagathering work at rescue sites，in farmers' fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insectscale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead，” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a daytoday basis.”
【1】The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that ________.
A．they had no model in their mind
B．they did not have sufficient time
C．they had no readymade components
D．they could not assemble the components
【2】It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly ________.
A．can just fly in limited areas at the present time
B．consists of a flight device and a control system
C．can collect information from many sources
D．has been put into wide application
【3】Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A．The robotic fly is designed to learn about insects.
B．Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C．There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
D．Wood's design can replace animals in some experiments.
23、It is increasingly popular for Chinese young people to share their experiences on Social media, such as the “moments” (朋友圈) on popular instant messaging service WeChat.
“I have been reading ‘Jane Eyre’ for 40 days with 48,000 words finished,” Li Anqi said. Li has been sharing her reading experience on WeChat moments every day since January. Working in Yinchuan, capital of Northwest China’s Ningxia, Li wants to learn English very much, but cannot bare (摆脱) the daily grind (日常工作) of school lessons.
“I found many of my WeChat friends had been reading books or learning English on mobile reading apps, and I did not want to fall behind,” Li said.
In January, she spent more than 100 yuan purchasing an online reading class at the Bohe Reading app, which tells customers they can: “Finish reading your first English book here.” At the reading class, teachers assign reading homework and give instructions to 430 class members every day.
A survey report released (发布) on Thursday said 70.9 percent of primary and middle students in China use the Wechat instant messaging App. At the same time, 75.9 percent of Chinese children have their own mobile phones, according to China National Children’s Center.
The figures were based on a survey of nearly 9,000 children across China. However, 28.8 percent of them never read news online and 43.2 percent have never touched newspapers.
The Center called for efforts to address the digital divide between urban and rural education and protect children’s privacy as Internet users.
【1】In the second paragraph, Jane Eyre is _________.
A. a book B. an advertisement
C. a piece of news D. a film
【2】What is Li Anqi?
A. A worker. B. A doctor.

【3】What percentage of Chinese children have their own mobile phones?
A. 70.9 percent. B. 75.9 percent.
C. 43.2 percent. D. 28.8 percent.
【4】Why is Li Anqi taken as an example?
A. To call for us to be a good reader.
B. To tell us to study English on the Internet.
C. To advise us to take an online English reading course like her.
D. To suggest that experience-sharing on social media is getting more and more popular in China.
24、 WASHINGTON, D.C. --- The FBI on Monday released new data about hate crimes. It showed that more hate crimes were carried out in the United States last year. There was an increase in incidents motivated by intolerance against Jews, Muslims and LGBT people, among others. The term LGBT includes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
There were more than 6,100 reported incidents of hate crimes in 2016, up from more than 5,800 the year before. The FBI made this report based on data submitted by law enforcement(执行) agencies across the country. The new data follows a trend from 2015. The trend shows that the largest share of victims last year, nearly six in 10, were targeted(为目标) due to intolerance against the victim's race or ethnicity.
The number of hate crimes caused by intolerance against a person's race or ethnic background rose to 3,489 from 3,310 a year earlier, the FBI report said. Half of those hate crimes were caused by racism against African-American people. One in five victims were targeted because of their religion. One in six were due to sexual orientation, the report said.
The FBI data gains a general look at hate crime in the nation. But this report is considered incomplete because not all areas report their hate crimes. According to the FBI, 88 percent of agencies choosing to participate in the hate crime statistics program “reported that no hate crimes occurred” in their areas last year.
Speaking earlier this year after a series of threats targeting Jewish schools and community centers, former FBI director James B. Comey admitted this. He said that the bureau needs "to do a better job of tracking and reporting hate crime." Only then can we understand what is happening and how to stop it.
“Hate crime is different from other crime,” Comey said in prepared remarks delivered in May. “They damage at our sense of self, our sense of belonging. The end result is loss: loss of trust, loss of dignity, and in the worst case, loss of life.”
The FBI report, which collects information on the offenders in the hate crimes tallied(总计) last year, found that the largest share, nearly half were white. About a quarter of the people who carried out hate crimes were African-American.
Four in 10 of the people identified as “known hate crime offenders” committed simple assault. This could mean a threat of violence or causing a minor injury. Nearly a quarter committed aggravated(=serious) assault, which is more serious and often involves the use of a deadly weapon. The report also identified more than 1,600 people who committed hate crimes by damaging, vandalizing or trying to destroy property.
【1】The author emphasizes the situation of hate crimes mainly by using ________.
A.examples B.statistics
C.comparison D.quotation
【2】Why is hate crime different from other crimes in the article?
A.The article highlights that hate crimes are more likely to end with injuries.
B.The article emphasizes that hate crimes target people’s sense of belonging.
C.The article explains that hate crimes are tracked more often than other crimes.
D.The article shows that hate crimes occur more often in minority communities.
【3】Which of the following are the results of hate crimes? ______.
①violence or injuries ②loss of dignity or life ③damage to property ④ use of deadly weapons
A.①②③④ B.②③④
C.①③④ D.①②③
【4】What’s the genre of this passage?
A.News report. B.Argumentation.
C.Description. D.Research report.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The e-mail request came into Ekiben restaurant late on a Thursday afternoon in March. Brandon Jones, the man who sent the e-mail didn't actually want the food himelf. He was writing on behalf of his mother-in-law, Shirley, who loved the broccoli（西兰花）dish with fresh herbs and cucumber vinegar. He went on to explain that she was now in the final stage of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe（烹饪法）to make it for her there. Steve Chu, one of the restaurant's co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied, "Thanks for reaching out," he wrote. "We'd like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you."
Brandon was shocked. "I emailed back, saying, 'You do know that this is Vermont we're talking about, right?'" says Brandon. "But Chu responded, 'No problem. You tell us the date, time and location and we'll be there."
For the past six years, every time Shirley visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could order that dish. "She loves that broccoli, and I really wanted her to have it one more time," Brandon says.
"She had always told us, 'When I'm on my deathbed, I want to have that broccoli,'" recalls Brandon's wife, Rina Jones. That Friday after work, a day after receiving Brandon's e-mail, Chu loaded his truck with a hot plate and a cooler and then headed for Vermont with his business partner, Ephrem Abebe, and an employee. They stayed overnight in a tent and drove the next day to the small town where Shirley lived.
As soon as Chu and his team pulled into the parking lot, they got to work. They pulled down the gate of the pickup, fixed the hot plate on the truck's power port, and started cooking and deep-frying. In addition to broccoli, they made tofu with peanut sauce and fresh herbs and some steamed rice. After neatly boxing everything up, they knocked on their customer's door.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。
"Go ahead and answer," Rina told her mother.
