21、More than a third of adults in the United States prefer fast-food restaurants and pizza places on any given day. And the higher their income is, the more likely they are to do so. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(C.D.C.) has released data on fast food consumption gathered from 2013 to 2016 in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, or NHANES, a program that continuously monitors the health and nutritional status of Americans.
Fast food — defined(定义) broadly in the survey as any item obtained from a "fast food/pizza" establishment — is eaten by 37 percent of American adults at some point during the day. Among those who eat fast food, 44 percent do so at lunch and 42 percent at dinner. Men are more likely to have fast food at lunch; women are more likely to snack on it. The most enthusiastic consumers are 20 to 39 years old: 45 percent of them eat fast food on any given day. That figure declines sharply with age, to 38 percent among people 40 to 59, and to 24 percent among those over age 60.
The high rate among 20 to 39-year-olds was particularly troubling. That period sets the stage for health problems later in life — heart disease, dementia(痴呆) and so on. Also, this is the group who have kids, and they’re setting them up for a lifetime of unhealthy eating habits.
The percentage of adults who ate fast food rose with increasing income. About 32 percent of people who earn less than 130 percent of the US poverty line — $32,630 a year for a family of four — ate fast food daily. But 42 percent of people above 350 percent of the poverty line — $112,950 a year or more for that size family — were daily consumers.
A report by the C.D.C. in 2013 estimated that American adults consume more than 11 percent of their daily calories from fast food. Fast food is generally high in calories, fat and salt, a combination that increases the risk for cardiovascular(心血管的) and other diseases. When we hear about a shark attack, we’re scared and we avoid that beach. But what we really should be afraid of is double cheeseburgers and French fries.
【1】What can we know about American fast food consumers?
A.Most American adults eat fast food every day.
B.The older they are, the more fast food they eat.
C.American women eat fast food mainly at dinner.
D.Almost half the young Americans often eat fast food.
【2】Why does fast food do particular harm to young people?
A.Fast food affects young bodies more harmfully.
B.Fast food has a bad effect on two generations.
C.Fast food causes young people underfeeding.
D.Fast food makes the youth fatter and fatter.
【3】What is the US poverty line for a family of four a year?
A.About $10,000.
B.About $30,000.
C.About $50,000.
D.About $100,000.
【4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
(P1 – Paragraph 1 ; P2 – Paragraph 2…)
A.
B.
C.
D.
22、 Think “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese painting in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern of lights?
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors can not only enjoy looking at them, they can also interact with them — literally.
【1】 Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art?
Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts through art with various tools and technologies for thousands of years. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than “technicians”. 【2】
Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. 【3】 Take for example one of China’s most famous paintings, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued a long time for a chance to see it. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of it with 3D animation.
【4】 Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people have created exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.
However, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it?
【5】 But one thing is for sure — with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
A.Now art is more accessible to us than ever before.
B.Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess.
C.It’s not important whether they are artists or technicians.
D.They do this by using their phones to change their colors and patterns.
E.They watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
F.The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”.
G.This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.
23、Have you grasped the information taught by your teacher in class? Have you understood what you saw on the screen? Maybe everyone has their own learning style.
Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things we are already aware .In other words, our brains will deal with the information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words. Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures.
For different people, their learning styles are different too. One person may find it hard to make out the information in written forms but easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message.
Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles.
·Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking and writing.
·Logical: These people learn with formula (公式) and principles (原理).
·Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying.
·Musical: These people learn well when information is presented through music.
·Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical activities.
·Intrapersonal: These people learn best by linking new information directly with their own experiences.
·Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others.
Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can balance your weakness, and get a more successful learning experience.
【1】From the passage, we know that our brains __________.
A. deal with the information in different ways
B. send out the information in the same way
C. organize information with our bodies
D. gather information in the same way
【2】A visual learner usually learns __________.
A. through listening and speaking B. by seeing what he is learning
C. from movement and physical activities D. by linking new information with his experience
【3】A musical learner will find it easy to learn __________.
A. with formulas and principles B. by working with others
C. through reading and writing D. through music he hears
【4】The purpose of the passage is to tell us to __________.
A. learn more successfully B. gather more information
C. understand more quickly D. exchange information better
24、Due to the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病), the social distancing commands separated family members from each other in 2020. However, it also resulted in some lifelong friendships between people who would have otherwise never met.
The unlikely friendship between 99-year-old Mary and her two-year-old neighbor, Benjamin began in May 2020. The lockdown was particularly hard for Mary, who has been living alone since her husband passed away 37 years ago. Her other family members are in other states. The 99-year-old spent her days watching television game shows. Benjamin, a then one-year-old who lived next door, was also stuck at home and unable to play with kids of his age.
The unusual friendship developed gradually. At first, Mary would wave at Benjamin from her window whenever she saw the young boy in the yard. Then, she began adventuring outside to greet him in person. The routine eventually expanded to daily gatherings by the fence that separated the two homes. The unlikely pair even invented a socially distanced game that Mary calls cane (手杖) ball. “I came out of the house one morning, and he threw his ball toward the fence,” she said. “I got my cane, and I reached over the fence and hit the ball toward him, and he’d throw it back. That’s how it started.”
When the weather turned cold, the two were unable to meet in the yard as regularly. But Benjamin’s mother, Sarah, kept the friendship alive by often stopping by Mary’s house with the kid. The friendship between the two has developed even further since Mary got vaccinated (接种疫苗) earlier this year. The two give each other hi-fives across the fence and often sit outside Mary’s house. This spring, Mary and Benjamin gifted each other with their favorite.
Benjamin now goes to daycare three times a week. But he still regularly makes time to visit his best friend who he refers to as “Mimi”. “Friendship really knows no boundaries,” Sarah said. “Certainly, you wouldn’t guess that a 99-year-old and a 2-year-old would be friends, but they can be. And they both get a lot out of it.”
【1】What can we learn about Mary and Benjamin from paragraph 2?
