26、While sweet treats can be hard to resist, the World Health Organization(WHO) has set new guidelines for people around the world. The guidelines, released on Wednesday, advise that both adults and children cut back on their sugar intake(摄取量) to stay healthy.
In a statement, Francesco Branca, director of the WHO’s nutrition department, said there is evidence that reducing daily sugar intake reduces the risk of being overweight and tooth decay(腐烂).
The guidelines do not apply to the sugars in fresh fruit and vegetables or those that are naturally present in milk. According to the WHO, there is no reported evidence of negative effects of consuming those sugars. Instead, the new guidelines focus on “added” or “free” sugars. These include sugars that are added to processed foods and drinks such as candy and soft drinks.
Added sugars are sometimes described as “ hidden” sugars because they exist in foods we might not think of as sweets, such as honey and ketchup(番茄酱). Health experts advise that consumers look at ingredients on food packages to help make better-informed decisions.
The WHO recommends that people in the United States, Europe and other Western societies should cut their average sugar intake by about two-thirds, or down to just 10% of their overall calories. For developing countries, where dental care is less advanced, the WHO recommends that sugar intake be reduced to 5%.
Scientist Kieran Clarke, of the University of Oxford, notes that for those people who can’t shake their love for sweets, getting more exercise is a good solution. “If you get enough exercise, you can eat almost anything,” she said “But it’s very hard to avoid large amounts of sugar unless all you’re eating is fruit and vegetables.”
【1】What can we learn from the guidelines released by the World Health Organization?
A. The production of candies should be forbidden.
B. There is a connection between sugar intake and bad teeth.
C. Fruit and vegetables contain a lot of sugar.
D. People should cut down on sugar intake for the sake of their health.
【2】To what level should people in developing countries cut down their sugar intake, according to the WHO?
A. 10%. B. 15%. C. 5%. D. 30%.
【3】We can learn from the text that ________.
A. added sugar isn’t marked on food packages
B. we should drink as little milk as possible as it contains sugar
C. soft drinks don’t contain added sugar
D. the less exercise you do, the fewer sweet things you should eat
27、On 25 January each year, the national poet of Scotland, Robert Burns, is celebrated. Burns, born in 1759, became famous at the age of 25. His poetry went on to become famous around the world.
The poet died in 1796, aged just 37. Burns Night began five years later when his friends gathered on what would have been his birthday, to celebrate his life. The evening was held at Burns's former home, with events that are now traditions. These include a feast, where someone reads Burns's famous poem Address to a Haggis（a kind of sausage）. After supper there are poetry readings, Scottish dancing and singing, including Burns's song Auld Lang Syne.
This year, Burns Night was a bit different because of the spread of COVID-19. In Alloway, Scotland, a local radio presenter hosted a live webcast, The Burns Night In, at the house where Robert Burns was born. People across the world just enjoyed talks about the poet and Scottish music.
The Centre for Robert Burns Studies at the University of Glasgow invited 2, 500 clubs, schools, and universities in 150 countries to share their plans for Burns Night on social media. They used the information to make a map of the celebrations which stretched from Antarctica to South Korea.
"He's a poet who travels very well," said Pauline Mackay, a leading professor at Glasgow University. "He could write very seriously, but also with great humour," she explained, adding that the song Auld Lang Syne is all about friendship and unity.
In a slightly more unusual celebration, a Scottish butcher posted a short video online in which he attached a haggis to a weather balloon, flying to the edge of space. "After a year like no other, we wanted to kick off 2021 by lifting the spirits of the general public," he said.
【1】Why do people celebrate Burns Night?

C．It usually ends with the song Auld Lang Syne.
D．It began with his poem Address to a Haggis in 1800.
【3】What can we learn from the last three paragraphs?
A．152 countries shared the plans on social media.
B．The Center has 2.500 clubs, schools, and societies.
C．A butcher made a balloon to celebrate Burns Night.
D．Burns's popularity possibly lies in his writing style
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A．Poetry of Robert Burns
B．Traditions of Burns Night
C．Burns Night Celebrated Online
D．The National Poet of Scotland
28、Back in the early 2000s, lots of people couldn’t have imagined life without alarm clocks, CD players, calendars, cameras, or lots of other devices. But along came the iPhone and other smartphones, and they took over the functions of dozens of things we used to think were essential.
The smartphone story could even be a model for fighting climate change; not because smartphones use a small part of the energy of all the things they replace - although they do-but because they represent a different approach to design in general. And that approach is to focus on function rather than form. That requires focusing on understanding the underlying problem，and then engineering a wide range of potential solutions. This approach could revolutionize how we think about energy efficiency.
Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly focused on individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the standalone(独立运行的) devices at all, because it can function as all of them.
So when it comes to using energy efficiently, rather than just installing a more efficient heater，some people have focused instead on the desired function: staying warm. They designed and coated their house so well that they could get rid of their heater altogether, letting them heat their house with 99% less energy.
In the same way, rather than just making cars more efficient, what if we focus on the desired function-getting where we want when we want-and create an efficient transportation system where we can drive less or get rid of our personal cars entirely?
The most energy efficient car or heater is no car, or no heater, while still being able to get around and stay warm. In other words, it’s not thinking efficient, it’s thinking different.
【1】What makes the iPhone a good example of environmental protection?
A．Perfecting individual devices.
B．Combining possible functions.
C．Adopting a simplest design.
D．Reducing the energy consumption.
【2】According to the passage, what is the core of improving energy efficiency?
A．Using recyclable materials.
B．Revolutionizing technologies.
C．Figuring out various solutions.
D．Concentrating on the essential needs.
【3】What does the author think of traditional practices in energy improvements?
A．Fruitless.
B．Out-of-date.
C．Adequate.
D．Perfect.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Think out of the box.
B．Differences make it unique.
C．Be economical with energy.
D．Step out of the comfort zone.
29、Jumping rope is popular but we tend to ignore (忽视) its benefits. 【1】 A study found that college men who spent 10 minutes jumping rope daily for six weeks improved their cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness just as much as college men who spent thirty minutes jogging for the same time. Here are some benefits of jumping rope.
【2】
Since most of your major muscles are working when you jump rope, the exercise creates a lot of heat in the body. Your body needs to burn more fuel to produce this energy, so it burns lots of calories. It burns more calories than any other exercises, such as jogging, cycling and swimming.
Improves coordination (协调)
Jumping rope requires good coordination, especially as you advance to more skilled moves. 【3】 It improves coordination by requiring several body parts to communicate in order to complete one movement. The feet must jump in time with the wrists turning in order to create a continuous jumping motion.
Reduces injury risk
With your improved coordination from jumping rope, you’ll be less likely to get hurt either during exercise or in daily activities. 【4】 As a result, you are more agile (灵活的) and your body awareness is improved greatly. This guarantees fewer injuries.
Improves heart health
Since jumping rope gets your heart pumping, it’s great for your cardiovascular system and heart health. Jumping rope can increase your VO2 Max (最大摄氧量), the measure of the maximum amount of oxygen a person can breathe during exercise. The higher someone’s VO2 max, the more cardiovascular endurance (耐受力) they have.
Jumping rope gives us a full-body workout with just one piece of equipment and one move. 【5】 Jump to some music, or take your rope to a nearby park to enjoy the fun.
A．Burns calories
B．Improves muscles
C．It benefits us not only physically but also mentally.
D．You can quickly swing the rope twice within each jump.
E．It may even be more effective than other forms of exercise.
F．Jumping rope forces you to move your upper and lower body together.
G．So jumping rope helps you stay calm, clear and focused in everything you do.

American High School Life
On August 26, 2016, I was a 【1】 to begin my freshman year in an American high school. G 【2】 up in Beijing, I needed to deal with and overcome several difficulties. Fortunately, there are detailed instructions for students to follow step by step, from enrollment (登记注册) to the academic program.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A couple，whom we shall call John and Mary, had a nice home and two lovely children. One day, John and Mary decided to go on a trip to another city, so they found a kind woman to look after the children and left.
Several days later, they returned home a little earlier than they had planned. As they drove back to their hometown, John and Mary noticed smoke and went to see what it was. They found a house was on fire.“Oh,well, it isn't our house. Let's go home,”Mary said.
But John drove closer and screamed in surprise，“That's Jordan's home. He works in a factory. He wouldn’t be off work yet. Maybe there is something we can do to help.”
“It has nothing to do with us,”cried Mary. “You have your good clothes on,so let's not get any closer.”
John didn't listen to Mary. He drove up and stopped. They were both shocked to see the whole house was on fire. A woman was crying in the yard, “The children! Get the children!”
John seized her by the shoulder and shouted to her, “Don't cry! Tell me where the children are!” “In the basement(地下室)，”cried the woman,“down the hall and to the left.”
John used water to get his clothes wet and put a wet towel on his head before rushing to the basement. The house was full of smoke and fire, and it was very difficult for him to find the children. But he made it. He held one under each arm. As he left，he could hear some more crying. He took the two kids out of the house and into the fresh air，and then asked the women how many more children were still down there.
