21、Can snacking be a key element of a healthy lifestyle? If your first response is “No!”, here’s a chance to update your opinions. Some of us were raised with the advice of “Never eat between meals”, which can protect our teeth from sweets. Yet there can be significant advantages of snacking on healthy foods. Researchers have found that eating frequent mini-meals offers health benefits. Dr. David Jenkins and colleagues at the University of Toronto have reported some remarkable advantages.
In one study, participants were randomly divided into two groups and both groups were given the same type and amount of food over a two-week period. One group consumed three meals a day. For those having a “Nibbling Diet”, food was divided into 17 mini-meals a day. After two weeks, the nibblers had reduced their blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels by more than 15 percent. Cortisol (皮质醇), a stress indicator, was reduced by 17 percent. Average serum insulin (血清胰岛素) levels of nibblers were reduced by 28 percent. With less insulin, the body is less likely to convert loads of calories into body fat.
Also, you may think eating concentrated sources of fat or sugar (or both) will pack the weight into your body. However, see below for some examples of healthy snacks:
Nuts are high in fat so keep portions moderate.
However, the fat comes with a wealth of minerals and protective substances. For growing youngsters, high-energy adults, athletes and those who have difficulty maintaining their weight, nuts are a great solution.
Dried fruits (raisins, currants, apricots) help you stock up on iron. If you tend to feel cold in winter, keep raisins handy. When your blood sugar drops, you’ll have an instant remedy. Fresh fruit is also a great choice.
【1】Why does the author propose a question at the beginning of the passage?
A．To raise the readers’ awareness of refusing snacks.
B．To arouse the readers’ interest in the topic.
C．To show the significance of healthy lifestyles.
D．To emphasize the importance of eating snacks.
【2】What do the underlined words “Nibbling Diet” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Not eating too much food at a time.
B．Eating many snacks at a time.
C．Eating food gently each time.
D．Eating food quickly each time.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The nibblers are more likely to pack the weight into their body.
B．More insulin helps the body to burn off excess calories.
C．Having snacks high in fat or sugar doesn’t necessarily put on weight.
D．Eating a considerable amount of nuts is a brilliant choice for everyone.
【4】Who can benefit from dried fruits in daily life?
A．An athlete who needs to maintain his weight.
B．A child who is eager to grow up quickly.
C．A girl who wants to warm herself in winter.
D．A patient who longs to decrease his blood sugar.
22、We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silently.
The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of the EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.
The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.
The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. It comfortably covers an area of up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. They only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.
The EP comes with a 3-year warranty (保修) and a 60-day unconditional refund.
Now, we have a special offer for 10 days, during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery. If you order after that, we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests at the discounted price.

23、Alternative medicine has become much more popular in the West in recent years. 【1】 And they are turning to treatments such as homeopathy, yoga, and acupuncture（针灸）to complement or sometimes even replace the western medicine.
Acupuncture is based on the idea that energy flows through the human body along 12 lines or meridians（经络）, which end up at the organs in the body. 【2】 To remove the blockage, an acupuncturist inserts（插入）very fine needles into the body at points along the meridians. This stimulates the flow of energy, and restores the patient's health.
Acupuncture only really became well-known in the West in the 1970s as people began to travel more frequently between the two areas of the world. 【3】 However in the last few years it has become more established as an alternative to western medical treatments, since clinical tests have shown that acupuncture is effective for some conditions. 【4】 Many sportspeople have experimented with acupuncture when fighting injury. Martina Hingis, the famous tennis player, had a wrist injury cured through treatment, and NBA legend Kobe Bryant also used acupuncture on his leg. It is also used to treat depression, stress and anxiety.
【5】 In the past some people have experienced allergic reactions, broken needles and even punctured lungs while being treated, although this is very uncommon.
A．The treatment is often used to relieve headaches, dental pain, etc.
B．Illness is the result of a blockage of the energy flow to these organs.
C．The treatment is thought to increase the body's resistance to infection.
D．In the Far East, acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of complaints.
E．However, before you go, check if the acupuncturist is qualified and registered.
F．At first, doctors in the West often doubted about the medical value of acupuncture.
G．It seems that people are becoming increasingly worried about the side effects of drugs.
24、Running is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track.
But while it’s long been believed that endorphins(内啡肽)-chemicals in the body that cause happiness-are behind the so-called “runner’s high”, a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.
According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids(内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.
To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice. Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.
But after being given a drug to block their endorphins the mice were still happy and relaxed after running. However, when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug, the runner’s high symptoms(症状) seemed to fade.
“The long-held opinion of endorphins being responsible for the runners high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out, ” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifehacker.
Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.
The UK’s National Health Service even prescribes (开药方) exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.
“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it's especially useful for people with mild to moderate depression, ” it wrote on its website.
It seemed like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don’t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is to put on our running shoes.
【1】What did scientists from German universities recently discover?
A．Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.
B．Endorphins may contribute to one’s high spirits after running.
C．The runner’s high could be caused by endocannabinoids.
D．The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect one’s mood.
【2】For what purpose did the scientists give mice drugs in their experiment?
A．To find what is responsible for the runner’s high.
B．To see the specific symptoms of the runner’s high.
C．To find what reduces the symptoms of the runner’s high.
D．To test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released.
【3】In which column can you find this passage on a website?
A．Science.
B．Education.
C．Economy.
D．Fashion.
【4】What is the best title of this passage?
A．The Best Way to Treat Depression.
B．The Real Cause of the Runner’s High.
C．Endorphins Cause Happiness.
D．The Mice Show Happiness after Exercising.

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。
A man came home from work late again, tired and annoyed, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door. “Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business. What makes you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.
“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded (恳求) the little boy.
“If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, head bowed.
Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I borrow $10.00, please?”
The father was angry. “If the only reason why you want to know how much money I make is just that you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you’re being so selfish.
I work long, hard hours every day and don’t have time for such childish games.”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy’s questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think he might have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.
“Are you asleep, son?” he asked.
“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man.
“It’s been a long day and I took my aggravation (激怒) out on you. Here’s that $10.00 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, beaming (笑容满面). “Oh, thank you daddy,” he yelled.
注意！续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then, the little boy reached under his pillow, and pulled out some crumpled (变皱的) bills.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After hearing what the boy said, the man felt so sorry for what he had said to his son.
