21、 Have you ever felt so tired after staying up for a night that even coffee doesn't give you the energy that you need? You may have an energy drink, but the benefits of drinking one arc heavily outweighed by the risks.
In the past years, more and more studies have found the deadly effects of energy drinks on our bodies. The sugar, caffeine and energy supplements (补充)in energy drinks make up a deadly mixture of ingredients that can affect your heart function and send you to the hospital!
A study by the University of Bonn, Germany found that frequent consumption of energy drinks can greatly change the way our heart functions. The study went on to say that consuming energy drinks often causes significantly increased heart contractions in adults, which has the potential of putting you at risk for irregular heartbeats.
It is possible that many people are unconscious of the alarming side effects of energy drinks because of the way they are labelled. Most energy drinks contain between 80 milligrams to over 350 milligrams of caffeine, sugar and energy supplements. When an energy drink is marketed as a diet supplement, it may be distributed without a "nutrition facts" label, which would show the harmful supplements that are in the drink. However, even if energy drinks are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved, they don’t have to show the number of supplements.
Energy drinks may be widely available but they aren't the healthiest or safest choice for your body. To stay naturally energized, get organized and stay on top of your work so that you aren't having to stay up all night to complete assigned tasks. If you'd like a natural energy boost, you could make time for a short workout, which will give you all of the energy you need!
【1】Which of the following is the side effect of the energy drinks?
A.Making people thinner.
B.Making people's heart bigger.
C.Making people run a risk of falling ill.
D.Making people suffer from heart attack.
【2】Why are many people unaware of the harmful effects of energy drinks?
A.Because they don't read the label carefully.
B.Because FDA thinks they are healthy drinks.
C.Because the harmful materials are not labelled.
D.Because factories of energy drinks lie to drinkers.
【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The benefits of doing exercise.
B.The better choice of right drinks.
C.The way to have enough energy.
D.The effects of energy drinks.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Don't Drink Energy Drinks
B.Many People Enjoy Energy Drinks
C.The Materials Energy Drinks Contain
D.Energy Drinks Could Send You to Hospital
22、Seven-year-old Kai Clay is suffering from a skin condition that sees his skin crack and drop “like a snake”, but despite the agonizing pain, he is said to always be smiling.
Young Kai has been hailed “extremely brave” and “like a warrior” by his mother, Nikita, for battling on each day with Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris (PRP), incurable and rare condition that causes constant inflammation and scaling of the skin, dry eyes and thickened palms and soles, which often crack and bleed.
The condition is believed to affect only one in 400,000 people and puts him at risk of life-threatening blood infections. His mum is “heartbroken” at the thought of him having to deal with this his entire life, but at the same time admits his strength “blows her mind”.
She said: “I just find it mind-blowing how a seven-year-old kid can just smile through it all. Kai is removing skin daily-his whole body is very flaky so when he wakes up in the morning there’s dead skin all over his bed. His eyelids also tum inside out and go really red, dry and sore to the point that it’s really hard to open and close his eyes.” The mum continued: “It just breaks my heart every single time, especially because there is nothing I can do about it.”
Kai now has to have three eye drops a day, a steroid cream once or twice a day, a moisturizing cream three times a day and a bath in ointments every night to manage his condition. He also has a tablet daily and an injection every two weeks of pain relief medication but even with that he often misses weeks of school at a time during painful flare-ups.
After sharing the story. Nikita expressed her hope to raise awareness for her son’s condition in hopes there might one day be a cure. She added: “Not a lot of people even know it’s a thing and there isn’t enough research because it’s that rare.”

23、 Sora observed in amazement as Weilun picked up two large metal cans. She followed Weilun with a pail (桶) of clothes, watching him carry the two cans effortlessly. They were large and were covering Weilun’s small frame.
Sora’s father had sent her to the village to learn about rural life. Sora had never once done any household chores back home. She did not understand why her father would always chant “Where is your willingness to learn?” whenever she asked him if she could stay home for the holidays. Her father had given her a checklist on the life skills that she needed to learn, one of which was to wash clothes. She recalled washing a table cloth after an art lesson in school. That was a piece of cake, she thought. So Sora refused Weilun’s offer to help. Weilun then went to fill the large cans with water at the far end of the river.
Suddenly, a big bird dived from the sky when Sora placed the last piece of clothing back in the pail. Sora released her grasp of the pail in shock. Then she was relaxed to find it was aiming for a worm near her. But the clothes were drifting in the river. Weilun immediately came to help and Sora shifted the blame to the bird.
He pointed at the detergent foam (洗涤剂泡沫) on the surface of the river. “Don’t tell me you rinsed (漂洗) the detergent from the clothes in the river. Don’t you know that it may kill the river creatures? You caused the problem, not the bird!” Sora looked down in shame. “You think that you know everything, but you actually don’t.”
Sora closed her eyes to let Weilun’s words sink in for a moment. She finally understood the meaning behind her father’s chants. She walked towards Weilun and whispered, “Could you teach me all the life skills that my father had planned for me to learn?”
【1】Why was Sora amazed?
A．Weilun was too small in size for the two large cans.
B．Weilun was willing to help his parents do some chores.
C．Weilun managed to carry the two large cans easily.
D．Weilun was willing to accompany her to the riverside.
【2】Why did Sora refuse Weilun’s offer to help wash the clothes?
A．She thought it was an easy task.
B．She had learned how to do it.
C．She wanted her father to be proud of her.
D．She wanted to learn new things by herself.
【3】What happened when Sora found the bird flew towards her?
A．The bird was diving for food.
B．The bird was attacking her.
C．Sora was rinsing the detergent in the pail.
D．Sora was shocked to find a worm in the pail.
【4】What do you think Sora “finally understood”?
A．She wasn’t capable of living on her own.
B．She really lacked the willingness to learn.
C．Life skills could be learned in the country.
D．Her father wanted her to learn from Weilun.
24、It has always been assumed that traffic noise is a problem unique to animals. But a new study by Ghotbi-Ravandi, a botanist at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, has revealed that plants suffer too.
Scientists have previously suspected that plants may be able to sense sound waves as they are struck by them. A number of experiments have confirmed this in recent years——plants continuously affected by ultrasound(超声波) in the lab have shown a range of adverse responses including the expression of stress-related genes, abnormal growth and reduced sprouting(发芽) of seeds.
Yet blasting(轰击) plants with ultrasound is not the same as growing them in the presence of actual traffic noise. To this end, Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi decided to set up an experiment to study precisely this question.
Working with a team of colleagues, Dr Ghotbi-Rayandi grew two species in his lab. The plants were grown from seed and allowed to mature for two months in the same space before they were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to 73 decibels(分贝) of traffic noise for16 hours a day. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied.
None of the plants exposed to the traffic noise did well. Analysis of their leaves revealed that all of them were suffering. The chemical compounds indicating stress in plants were found at much higher levels in the samples exposed to the traffic noise. The team also found that a range of hormones normally associated with healthy growth and development in plants were present at significantly reduced levels in the plants exposed to the noise.
His findings make it clear that, though plants lack ears, the impact generated by the noise of traffic still bothers them enough to trigger strong stress responses. The next question is whether all noise pollution affects all species in the same way.
【1】What does the underlined word “adverse” mean in the second paragraph?
A．expected.
B．passive.
C．negative.
D．opposite.
【2】What can we know about the plants exposed to traffic noise?
A．Their seeds failed to sprout.
B．They have high-level hormones.
C．They contain more stress-related compounds.
D．They barely have expanded leaves.
【3】It is possible that the next step of the study is to ________.
A．reduce noise pollution
B．experiment with other plants
C．publish the findings
D．confirm previous assumptions
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A．Noise Pollution Has to Be Reduced
B．Plant Protection Is Urgently Needed
C．Plant Growth Is Prevented by Ultrasound
D．Plants Are Badly Affected by Traffic
