21、 It’s normal to long for the taste of potato chips or a cheese-covered pizza. Even though they’re full of calories, eating them occasionally won’t do much harm. However, according to the new numbers, young people are becoming more gluttonous. The BBC’s Good Food Nation Survey showed that on average, 16 to 20-year-olds ate fast food at least twice a day in the UK. So what’s behind this fast food binge （狂热）?
WebMD, an online publisher of news and information of human health and well-being, surveyed nearly 600 teenagers and adults in the United States. They found that the most common reason was our busy lifestyle. More than 92.3 percent of respondents said they were too busy to cook. Many find it challenging to balance work and life, and the convenience of fast food meets their needs. Fast food is readily available in corner stores and vending machines （自动售货机）. Remember those instant noodle cups from the supermarket? They’re ready in minutes, and you can store them at home for a long time.
But many people think this trend does no good. Sarah Toule, head of health information at World Cancer Research Fund, told the BBC: “It’s frightening that people, especially younger generations, are eating so much fast food loaded with fat, sugar and salt, but offers little nutritional value.”
She added, “Especially high in calories, fast food leads to unhealthy weight gain — which in turn increases the risk of 11 cancers later in life.”
So what is the right thing to do? Toule suggested that young people should prepare meals in advance and learn to include the different food groups in their diets.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “more gluttonous” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Greedier.
B．Healthier.
C．Smarter.
D．Lazier.
【2】What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A．People should make a change to their busy lifestyle.
B．Fast food helps people balance their work and life.
C．Fast food is becoming popular with teenagers and adults.
D．Nowadays people have more challenges both in work and life.
【3】According to Sarah Toule, fast food________.
A．can’t provide enough nutrition for eaters
B．will lead to 11 cancers
C．can help lose weight
D．is easy to prepare ahead of time
22、 I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.
Before I made that decision, I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn't know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.
I didn't listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.
At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn't refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.
Mom smiled and asked again: “I asked: what do you WANT to do？”
I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.
“Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society, ” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life should be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me.” After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.
For the first time in my life, I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.
It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.
The path to my future became clear to me. I didn't act rebelliously any more. With passion in my heart, I studied hard. Now, I'm one of the best students in the class.
Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.

23、 Bamboo chopsticks are some of the world's most popular utensils, but create their fair share of waste. A company in Vancouver, Canada, is giving them a new life.
Felix Bock, ChopValue founder says, "Sometimes a good idea starts with frustration"---when you understand how resource inefficient we are in our cities. I want to make sure to set an example of using chopsticks and create a viable business out of it."
ChopValue collects used chopsticks from local restaurants. The sticks are cleaned, infused （灌输，注入）with resin （树脂）and pressed into tiles （片板）."Our limitation was the size of the chopstick at the beginning — so I wanted to keep it very, very modular （组件的）and very micro, and that's how we developed the first hydraulic hot press （液压热压缩机）that presses 8 by 8 inch （20 by 20 centimetre） tile. It's very highly densified" he says. The tiles are used to make new products, including home decor （装饰）,kitchenware and table tops.
The company has recycled more than 25 million chopsticks to date. They hope to expand by taking their business model abroad. “Think of mass manufacturing today like Ikea would do it We're kind of the anti-Ikea and anti-Amazon. We don't want to ship products. We don't want to mass-produce in one location. We want to produce locally wherever you are — but to scale （按比例）,with a global design and a global brand of support in the back."
Some of the chopsticks have even been found a new life as decor in the restaurants where they were sourced from.
【1】Why does Felix Bock start the company according to the text?
A.He wants to set an example of making chopsticks.
B.He wants to make a fortune out of used chopsticks.
C.He intends to compete against Ikea and Amazon.
D.He finds city resources fail to be used efficiently.
【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Why the first hydraulic hot press was invented.
B.What the chopstick-tiles are probably used for.
C.How used chopsticks are processed and recycled.
D.When densified tiles are made from used chopsticks.
【3】Which of the following is probably true about Amazon?
A.It sometimes deliver products from afar.
B.It expects to have global support.
C.It will shrink their business overseas.
D.It hardly mass-produces in a single place.
【4】What can we learn about the chopsticks?
A.They can decorate whatever you want.
B.They can be recycled in restaurants.
C.They can take on a brand new life.
D.They are responsible for too much waste.
24、 The universe is expanding faster than it used to, meaning it’s about a billion years younger than we thought, a new study by a Nobel Prize winner says.
At issue is a number called the Hubble constant, a calculation for how fast the universe is expanding. Some scientists call it the most important number in cosmology, the study of the origin and development of the universe.
Using NASAS Hubble Space Telescope, lohns Hopkings University astronomer Adam Riess concluded in this week’s Astrophysical Journal that the figure is 9% higher than the previous calculation, which was based on studying leftovers from the Big Bang.
The trouble is， Riess and others think both calculations are correct. Confused? That’s OK, so are the experts. They find the conflict so confusing that they are talking about coming up with “new physics”, incorporating (合作) perhaps some yet-to-be-discovered particle or other cosmic (宇宙) “fudge factors” like dark energy or dark matter
“Its looking more and more like were going to need something new to explain this,” said Reiss, who won the 2011 Nobel in physics.
NASA astrophysicist John Mather, another Nobel winner, said this leaves two obvious options, “1. We’re making mistakes we can’t find yet. 2. Nature has something we can’t find yet.”
Even with the discovery, life continues on Earth the way it always has. But to astrophysicists trying to get a handle on our place in this expanding universe, this is a cosmic concern. In fact, the universe is really mystical (神秘的). Scientists have done lots of study about it but there is still much they haven’t discovered.
【1】What is the finding of the new study?
A.The earth is younger than expected.
B.Many universal problems are rising.
C.The universe is growing faster than before.
D.The finding is based on past scientists’ calculations.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A.The Hubble constant. B.The faster expanding universe.
C.The development of the universe. D.The scientific research on the universe.
【3】How do the experts respond to the conflict of the finding in Paragraph 4?
A.They want to raise a new theory.
B.They want to explore dark matter.
C.They want to further calculate the finding.
D.They want to mix together both calculations.
【4】What can we infer from John Mather’s words?
A.We cannot find anything useful.
B.Astronomers are making many mistakes.
C.We need to learn about the universe.
D.We cannot find something new from nature.
25、 Andrea Lessing， who is an employee at Goodwill located in Norman， Oklahoma made a very surprising _________ at work. As she was checking out the box of clothing donations, she touched something other than sweaters. It _________ she had found stacks of money among the clothes.
