21、I know what you’re thinking: pizza？For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早饭), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saying” calories ，still others just don’t like breakfast food .
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight . “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D，who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers – it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
【1】The word “leftovers” in paragraph I probably means ______.
A. food remaining after a meal B. things left undone
C. meals made of vegetables D. pizza topped with fruit
【2】What can we infer from the text?
A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.
【3】According to the last paragraph, it is important to _______.
A. eat something for breakfast
B. be careful about what you eat
C. heat up food before eating it
D. eat calorie-controlled food
【4】The text is written mainly for those _______.
A. who go to work early B. who want to lose weight
C. who stay up late D. who eat before sleep
22、In many American schools the holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday is used as an opportunity to teach children about his life and legacy. But in too many of those same schools, Black children’s extraordinary talents are still being wasted today. Nearly three-quarters of Black fourth and eighth grade public school students cannot read or compute at grade level. Black students made up only 18 percent of students in public schools in 2009-2010 but were 40 percent of students who received one or more out-of-school suspensions (暂被停学). A Black public school student is suspended every four seconds. Black students are more than twice as likely to drop out of school as White students. Each school day 763 Black high school students drop out.
So I applaud the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice for their recent action to address harmful school discipline policies that push so many thousands of black children out of school each year and into the juvenile (青少年) justice and adult prison pipeline. If the education system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle to college, career and success pipeline, we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are suspended from school mostly for nonviolent offenses.
These resources, officially known as “guidance,” will help schools and districts meet their legal responsibility to protect students from discrimination (歧视) on the basis of race, color or national origin as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As we recognize the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and so many other important hard-won victories in the Civil Rights Movement this year, we must remember those victories could be lost without meaningful enforcement of the laws advocates fought so hard to win half a century ago.
While the guidance does not prohibit (禁止) schools or districts from using any particular nondiscriminatory policy, it does call into question some policies that have historically excluded Black students and are of questionable educational value including “zero tolerance” discipline policies which require mandatory (强制的) consequences for certain infractions (违反), and policies that prevent students from returning to school after completion of a court sentence.
Information of the new guidance recommendations is available at this government website for almost every school and district in the country. Check your own school district now to see whether the discipline policy is focused on creating a positive school climate and preventing misbehavior, whether consequences are clear, appropriate and consistent, and whether there is a commitment to fairness in the application of discipline.
【1】What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
B. Unsatisfactory situation of Black students’ education.
C. The percentage of Black students dropping out of school.
D. The holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.
【2】The guidance issued by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice may ____.
A. punish Black children for dropping out of school
B. push thousands of Black children out of school each year
C. protect Black children from being suspended for nonviolent offenses
D. prevent Black children from coming back to school after a court sentence
【3】According to the passage, the “zero tolerance” discipline policies ____.
A. have questionable consequences
B. are prohibited by the guidance
C. prevent Black children from being absent from school
D. were considered discriminatory when they were released
【4】What is the author’s attitude toward these “guidance”?
A. negative B. pessimistic
C. approval D. indifferent

24、Dogs may have earned the title of our best friends through their interactions with humans, but now researchers say these social skills could, be present shortly after birth rather than being learned.
To better understand the role of biology in dogs’ abilities to communicate with humans, the researchers studied 375 eight-week-old service dogs. They looked at how these dogs performed in a series of tasks designed to measure their communication skills. The puppies were still living with their littermates (同窝出生者) and had not been sent to live with a volunteer puppy raiser, making it unlikely that they had learned about his or her behavior.
In the first task, a person hid a treat beneath one of two overturned cups and pointed to it to see if the puppy could follow the gesture. Since dogs are good at using noses to find things a treat was also taped to the insides of, both cups. In the second task, puppies watched as the researchers placed a yellow, block next to the correct cup, instead of pointing to indicate where the puppy should look for the food.
The third task was designed to observe puppies’ tendency to look at human faces. The researchers spoke to the puppy in a voice people sometimes use when talking to a baby. They then measured how long the puppy fixed a stare on the human.
In the last task, researchers sealed a treat inside a closed container and presented it to the puppy. They then measured how often the puppy looked to the human for help in opening the container.
The study found that while many of the puppies were responsive to humans’ physical and verbal cues, very few looked to humans for help with the unsolvable task. Researchers said, “This suggests that while puppies may be born knowing how to respond to human-initiated communication, the ability to initiate communication on their own may come later.” The next step will be to see if specific genes that may contribute to dogs’ abilities to communicate with humans can be identified.
【1】Why were eight-week-old service dogs chosen for the study?
A．They were the best age to learn.
B．They were cute and safe to deal with.
C．They were unlikely influenced by their mates.
D．They had had little contact with humans before.
【2】What is the researchers’ purpose in taping food to both cups?
A．To provide clues for the puppies’ final decisions.
B．To make comparisons between different conditions.
C．To prevent the puppies from making use of their smell.
D．To check the puppies’ preference for a particular color.
【3】What can we know from the study?
A．Puppies can understand our body language.
B．Puppies are good at asking humans for help.
C．Puppies are born to arouse communication with humans.
D．Puppies need specific genes to communicate with humans.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Dogs—talented performers
B．Dogs—humans’ best friends
C．Dogs—born to be able to learn
D．Dogs—born to understand humans
25、Years ago, I lived in the English midlands and would walk the same route along the local canal each evening. On winter mornings, I would see the _________ sight of bird flocks dancing across the landscape, a distant cacophony (刺耳的嘈杂声) _________ above the fields. They were jackdaws (寒鸦), the smallest member of the crow family.
Research led by Masters student Alex Dibnah asked: Why are jackdaws so loud when they _________? Then he began to work with a team. The team’s _________ was that the morning calls might be a jackdaw version of “_________”. Each individual’s call might _________ as an “I’m in!” helping them coordinate (协调) their _________.
To test this, the researchers artificially _________ call levels during the jackdaws’ morning cacophony using speakers at their sleeping sites. When extra calls were played, the jackdaws _________ earlier, showing they use calls as a check-in system.
Individual jackdaws __________ from leaving with the flock because they get more social information like where to find food, they can maximize their time spent finding food, and they’re less __________ being attacked. This sort of decision-making isn’t __________ to jackdaws — it’s been reported in other species as well.
So, the cacophony of jackdaws in the morning is a clever solution to __________ a large group. If you’re __________ by the noise, find comfort in the fact that the louder they get, the sooner they’ll leave you in __________.
