21、 You may want to bring honey the next time you have a cold, a study says. That's because honey has been shown to provide better cough relief than some over-the-counter drugs, Oxford University researchers said in findings published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine.
"Honey is more effective than usual care choices for improving upper respiratory tract infection(呼吸道感染)symptoms, particularly reducing cough frequency and cough severity," the scientists said in the findings.
Researchers said they reviewed 14 past studies about upper respiratory tract infections, also known as common colds. Symptoms can include runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat and coughing, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC).
Four of the studies examined comparisons between honey and diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that can be used to relieve coughs, according to the U. S. government. It's sold at U. S. drugstores under several brand names and is combined with other ingredients(成分)in some cold medicines.
In their findings, Oxford scientists said honey was "significantly better than" diphenhydramine at improving cough symptoms. The results came from studies that included 385 participants, data show. But honey was "not significantly better" at cough relief when compared to another class of medicines, called dextromethorphan, according to a review of two studies with a combined 137 patients. Dextromethorphan is used to suppress(抑制)coughs.
Anyone sick with a cold should talk to a druggist or doctor about the best medicines for them, according to health officials. "Over-the-counter medicines may provide temporary relief of symptoms, but they will not cure your illness," the CDC said on its website.
The CDC includes honey on its list of possible ways to suppress coughs. Other tips for feeling better from a cold include getting enough rest, breathing in steam and using saline spray, according to the CDC.

D．A brand name of medicine.
【3】What can we infer from CDC's advice?
A．Honey is a safer choice for relief of cold symptoms.
B．Breathing in steam is a better way to suppress coughs.
C．Honey doesn't work for all the patients with a cold.
D．Over-the-counter medicines are a waste of money.
【4】From which is the text probably taken?
A．A news report.
B．A guidebook.

22、 Butter coffee, also sometimes referred to as bulletproof coffee, is almost exactly what it sounds like. Take a cup of black coffee and drop a bit of butter into it. Though the name doesn't indicate this, you also need to add a little coconut oil. Upon hearing about butter coffee, people generally all into one of two camps. Either you are disgusted at the notion and determine never to try it or you are more laid-back and think "Sure, why not?"
If you are still puzzled about why this drink exists, here's a bit of backstory. In 2009, Dave Asprey, a businessman, launched and trademarked Bulletproof coffee. He got the idea during his travels in Tibet, where yak butter (酥油) tea is common. He marketed and sold the concept as a low-carbon, high-fat breakfast alternative that would help people lose weight and be energized.
Despite all of Asprey's claims, there are not many benefits to butter coffee, especially if anyone skips meals and replaces them with the drink. While cutting out carbohydrates (碳水化合物) may be good for people with type2 diabetes, a low-carbon diet is usually only recommended for a short period of time. And though the fat from the butter may keep you feeling full for a while, there are a number of downsides to adding a couple of tablespoons to your morning coffee.
Doctors point out that the amount of fat in butter coffee is higher than most recommended daily amounts. Additionally, a breakfast of butter and coffee does not contain nutrients that are essential to a healthy diet.
【1】What does the author mean by "two camps" in the first paragraph?
A．The campsites where Asprey tried yak butter tea.
B．The areas where one can buy fresh butter coffee.

C．starting his business
D．selling coffee beans overseas
【3】Which of the following is mentioned as a supposed benefit of butter coffee?
A．It wil1 help cure diabetes.
B．It serves as a meal replacement.
C．It may make people feel energetic.
D．It is good for those who need to put on weight.
【4】What do doctors think of butter coffee?

23、Time:2017-01-24 From:kekenet.com Editor: clover
The head of China's largest online seller Alibaba does not think China and the United States will have a trade war despite comments from the Trump administration.
Jack Ma is the chairman of the Alibaba Group. At the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, he said, "China and (the) U.S. will never have a trade war. Give Trump some time. He's open-minded, he's listening."
The Chinese billionaire said he would do all he could to prevent trade relations between the countries from getting worse.
Last week, Ma met with Trump at the Trump Tower in New York City. The Chinese billionaire is said to have discussed a plan to permit one million small U.S. businesses to sell goods on Alibaba's online shopping platform.
During the campaign and after winning the presidential election, Trump strongly criticized the Chinese government's support for its businesses. He blamed unfair trade policies for taking away U.S. jobs. And he said that China unfairly controls the exchange value of its currency, the yuan.
Trump also has threatened to place import taxes on goods from China and other countries in response to their trade policies.
According to the South China Morning Post, Ma said, "American international companies made millions and millions of dollars from globalization." He added that the U.S. should not blame the loss of jobs and companies on globalization.
However, a new study by an American business group says many U.S. businesses feel unwelcome in China. The companies say the cost of doing business in China is increasing. They add that rules and regulations are unclear or not enforced in a consistent way.
The American Chamber of Commerce in China led the study, which looked at responses from 462 companies.
William Zarit is chairman of the chamber. He says trade policies in China make it difficult for American companies. He says, "we feel that over the last few years that we've been taken advantage of to some extent, with our open market and the lack of open areas in the Chinese market."
Another major concern for U.S. companies in China is fake products. Fake products are copies of the originals that cost businesses with the legal right to sell them millions of dollars each year.
Ma defended Alibaba's efforts to fight fake products on its shopping platform. He said his company is doing all it can to fight the problem.
"Fighting against fake products is a war against human greediness," Ma said.
I'm Mario Ritter.
【1】The underline phrase “The Chinese billionaire” refers to ________.
A. Trump B. Jack Ma C. Mario Ritter D. Willian Zarit
【2】The text likely take from the ________.
A. economic magazine
B. trade speech
C. website
D. global news
【3】About this passage, the most suitable title is “________”.
A. Chinese Billionaire Does Not See China-US Trade War

24、 Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “the truth”. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or newspapers can't be bad for us.
However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors’ own beliefs. In general professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing.
lf your premises (主张) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors don't tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think.
On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.
【1】What does the writer try to express in the first paragraph?
A．People grow up through learning certain things in life.
B．People are forming their views during their growth.
C．People easily accept certain things without a second thought.
D．People have strong beliefs in authorities while getting old.
【2】Nowadays, most colleges and universities encourage students to ________.
A．criticize others
B．give their own ideas
C．share professors' beliefs
D．change their own beliefs
【3】What does the underlined word “shaky” in Para.3 most probably mean?
A．weak
B．firm
C．false
D．creative
【4】What's the right way to argue according to the writer?
A．Examine others' ideas critically.
B．Prove it with a good conclusion.
C．Argue mainly for the sake of arguing.
D．Support your ideas with sound reasoning.
25、It’s long been known that sugary drinks help people pack on unwanted kilograms. But new research suggests that ______ drinks and even 100% fruit juice might raise your risk for some cancers. The study couldn’t prove cause and effect, but it found that drinking as little as 90-120ml of sugary drinks each day was ______ to an 18% rise in overall risk for cancer.
The new study was led by Mathilde Touvier, research director at the University of Paris. Her team collected data on more than 100,000 French men and women, average age 42, who took part in a national ______.
The participants answered questions about how much of 3,300 different foods and drinks they consumed each day, and were ______ for up to nine years.
The study uncovered links between the consumption of sugary drinks and the risk of cancer______, and for breast cancer specifically. The investigators found no association between sugary drinks and prostate or colon cancers (前列腺或结肠癌), but the authors stressed that too few people in the study developed these cancers to make this finding ______. The research ______ no links between diet sodas (无糖汽水) and cancer, although more study is needed to confirm that, the authors noted.
The connection between sugary drinks and cancer remained the same even after the team ______for age, sex, educational level, family history of cancer, smoking and physical activity, the researchers said.
So, why the ______? According to Touvier’s team, high-calorie drinks may raise cancer risk because sugar helps build body fat, in addition to raising blood sugar levels and inflammation (发炎) — all of which are risk ______ for cancer. It’s also possible that chemicals found in these drinks might play a part in ______ cancer risk, the researchers theorized.
A group representing the drinks industry said sugary drinks can still be a part of the ______ diet, however. In a statement, the American Beverage Association said: “It’s important for people to know that all drinks — either with sugar or without — are ______ to consume as part of a balanced diet. America’s leading drinks companies are working together to support consumers’ efforts to ______ the sugar they consume from our drinks by providing more choices with less sugar or zero sugar, smaller package sizes and clear calorie information right up front.”
Samantha Heller is a senior clinical nutritionist at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City. She said she wasn’t ______ by the findings. She noted that, for decades, these drinks have been linked with diseases such as heart disease. On the other hand, “most of us should be drinking more water than we do,” Heller said.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One June evening, Sylvia, 8, was driving her cow home through the woods. Suddenly a clear whistle broke the peace. Before she could hide into the bushes, she was stopped by a young man, who carried a gun over his shoulder. “Hello, little girl. I am hunting for some birds but I have lost my way,” he said kindly. “Can I spend the night at your house?” Sylvia hesitated for a while and agreed to take him home at last.
Sylvia’s grandma was really kind. She cooked for the young man and chatted with him. “Sylvia is very shy but she is popular with birds,” Grandma said proudly. “Birds come and feed right out of her hands, and all sorts of birds.”
“So Sylvia knows all about birds?” he asked excitedly. “I am making a collection of birds myself.”
“Do you cage them up?” asked Grandma.
“Oh no, they’re stuffed (制作标本) and preserved,” said the young man. “I came here for a white heron (鹭), a tall white bird with long thin legs. It would have a nest perhaps in the top of a high tree.” He looked at Sylvia, hoping for some answers. Sylvia’s heart gave a wild beat. She knew the bird, but she said nothing.
“I would offer ten dollars to any helper,” the man added desperately. Ten dollars was really a big sum. Sylvia agreed with a nod.
The next day they started early, the young man going first and Sylvia following. He proved to be really kind and told her many things about birds. She could not understand why he killed the very birds he seemed to like so much. In the evening, they returned, empty-handed.
Lying in bed, Sylvia suddenly thought of a great pine-tree, which stood at the farther edge of the woods and towered far above the others. “If I climb it at daybreak, maybe I could easily discover from where the white heron flew, and mark the place, and find the hidden nest.” she thought. What a big secret!
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sylvia stole out of the house before daybreak.
