21、Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm and reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. 【1】 This is called repressing anger.
For many years, many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (激素). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar in the blood, etc. 【2】
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger openly and violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. 【3】 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “ 【4】 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humour in the situation that has made you angry. 【5】
A.Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.
B.Doctors say the solution is to learn how to deal with anger.
C.They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.
D.In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
E.They say anger may cause you cancer.
F.Do not express your anger while angry.
G.They cannot or will not express it.
22、In today’s world of fast-paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you’d be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing — take selfies!
In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
【1】Generally speaking, people spend ________ on each piece of art in a museum.
A.8 seconds
B.10 seconds
C.15 seconds
D.28 seconds
【2】What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to?
A.Taking selfies in museums busily.
B.Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
C.Admiring each artwork thoroughly.
D.Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely.
【3】Why is “Slow Art Day” created?
A.To stop visitors from taking selfies inside.
B.To attract more people to visit the museums.
C.To make people spend more time on each artwork.
D.To give visitors an opportunity to relax themselves.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.Slow Art Day: a Fruit of Museums!
B.Museums on the Rocks: Please Advise!
C.Museums: Slow down to Admire more!
D.Museums: an Escape from the Fast-paced Life!
23、The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.
The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk of non-infectious diseases like diabetes (糖尿病)and heart disease.
Unfortunately, when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as it began to industrialize over a 20-year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Nigeria and so on.
And, a diet bad for human beings is also bad for the environment. As the world’s population grows, more forests and tropical areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.
Mr. Tillman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, “a dilemma”, a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.
【1】David Tillman believes that .
A.diet, the environment and human health are closely connected
B.the Western diet is the only choice as nations industrialized
C.people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease
D.traditional diet is more balanced than the Western diet
【2】According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from .
A.transportation
B.developing countries
C.agriculture
D.developed countries
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases.
B.Overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases.
C.The examined information comes from developing countries.
D.Industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.Call on us to protect the environment.
B.Warn us of the danger of the Western diet.
C.Remind us of the importance of health.
D.Advise us to have a balanced diet.
24、Many schools now serve breakfast as well as lunch. A lot of kids who take part can end up eating two breakfasts—one at home and one at school. People are concerned that these kids may become overweight. In fact, Marlene Schwartz, a psychologist who studies the phenomenon of overweight, notes that's not what her data has shown in her new study.
Her group studied some 600 middle school students. Over three years, students in fifth, sixth and seventh grades were asked about their breakfast. Throughout the study about 34 to 44 percent of all students said they regularly ate breakfast at home. Up to 17 percent or almost one in every six kids regularly ate breakfast at school. Overall, about one in every 10 kids reported having breakfast both at home and at school. And eating habits changed somewhat as the kids got older.
Surprisingly, at every age, kids who ate breakfast were less likely to be overweight. This was true even for those who ate breakfast at home and at school. Indeed, the study found no evidence of greater weight gain among students who ate double breakfasts. Rather, it found that students who skipped breakfast were those most likely to be overweight.
Skipping breakfast may set people to be over hungry later in the day. Then someone may eat more food than their body needs. It might take the brain longer to realize “you have enough food and can stop eating now”. If true, skipping breakfast may actually lead a person to consume too many calories over the rest of the day.
“Earlier studies have shown this to be the case. The total calories taken in 24 hours are less when you eat a good breakfast,” says Diana Cutts, who works at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. “Eating healthily in the morning is really what you need to have energy. Skipping breakfast is not good for your body and brain.”
【1】Which is true according to Marlene Schwartz's study?
A.One in every ten kids had breakfast at school.
B.Eating habits didn't change as kids got older.
C.Kids having breakfast were more likely to be overweight.
D.Having double breakfasts doesn't mean gaining greater weight.
【2】What may cause overweight in children who skip breakfast?
A.The poor function of the body.
B.Eating too much later in the day.
C.Eating too much unhealthy food.
D.Lack of calory-burning exercise.
【3】What do Diana Cutts' words tell us?
A.The importance of energy.
B.The harm of calory intake.
C.The harm of light breakfast.
D.The importance of breakfast.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Causes of childhood overweight.
B.Ways to keep a healthy weight.
C.Skipping breakfast may lead to overweight.
D.Eating double breakfasts is healthier.
25、Dear Mr. Jones,

You may have ______ that I have a line of apple trees running alongside the fence that _____our two gardens. You may also have taken pleasure in the frequent sight of your two children sitting on your lawn directly by the fence. And you may ______have noticed that my apple trees, so to speak, _____ the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest.
It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to ______that interest. And it is not only natural, but, I acknowledge, quite legal, for them ______ to show that interest by picking all the apples that ______ on your side of the fence.
But to be plain with you, Mr. Jones, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, tear the ____ off the side of every one of my apple trees, and leave my trees looking as though a______had been fought on one side of them. I am, if anything, even more tired of ______ these fine autumn mornings, to find even the apples on ______ side of the fence much less in ______. I know this is the work of your children, ______ last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making climbing one of my trees, and (as they may have told you) chased them home.
While I am on the subject, I am at least ______ to you for keeping your bonfires on the far side of your garden this year. Last year neither I nor your children had any apples, because the smoke from your bonfires ______ all the flowers before the apples had time to form. I very much hope that ______ ----for the first time since I came to this village----I shall have my apples, and your children will have theirs and that the sight of the line of apple trees will be a ______ to us both.
____, I shall not express my displeasure in writing to you, but shall have to refer the matter to those capable of taking stronger ____ .
