21、 Food companies engineer junk food to make it addictive. They label their products to make them seem much healthier than they are. Their advertisements target children. All of this is according to a news report read recently by students in a Texas middle school. They were taking part in an experiment run by the University of Chicago and the University of Texas. “I don't understand how this is even legal, ” said a girl who took part in the study.
Researchers had students learn about food-industry advertising strategies. They wanted to know if learning about them would change how kids feel about junk food. All over the world, kids are eating more foods that are high in salt, sugar, and fat. That is partly the result of clever ads that make junk food irresistible. Christopher J. Bryan led the study. He says that when kids question the motives behind junk food ads, they feel like they're fighting injustice. The reward is knowing they are doing the right thing.
Junk food has been linked to health problems such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes，But in 2018，food companies spent nearly $9 billion TV ads selling unhealthy fare. Companies use varying strategies. An ad with cartoon characters may make chips seen fun to eat. A professional athlete enjoying a sugary drink may make it look cool. Advertisers know that if kids want a product, they'll annoy their parents to buy it. Even parents don't notice the power of ads. By the time they are adults they have been used to junk-food advertising. They just don't see it.
In the Texas study, Bryan had students view ads on iPad. Their job was to write or draw on the screen, to make each ad's message true. For example, a McDonald's ad showed a Big Mac (巨无霸) and the words “The thing you want when you order salad. ” To the end of the sentence, a student added “should be salad”.
Three months after analyzing ads, students were still choosing healthier snacks: milk instead of sugary juices, fruit over cookies. Kids are becoming conscious of themselves as agents in the world. They see a chance to make the world a better place.
【1】What is the purpose of the experiment?
A.To survey what snacks children like best. B.To guide children against unhealthy food.
C.To find ways to make junk food healthy. D.To teach children how to pick out legal food.
【2】How do children feel about junk food advertisements after the experiment?
A.Cool. B.Legal.
C.Funny. D.Misleading.
【3】Why are parents unaware of the harm of junk food advertisements?
A.Parents have never seen such junk food advertisements.
B.Advertisements have blinded them since they were young.
C.The food industry has special advertising strategies for parents.
D.Parents have to agree with their children about the junk food.
【4】How did students conduct the experiment?
A.By correcting unreal advertisements. B.By offering suggestions to food industry.
C.By making up their own advertisements. D.By studying food industry advertising strategies.
22、 “Buffalo, buffalo, Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, Buffalo, buffalo’’ is a real sentence.
How?
Let's break it down, starting with simple phrase.
Monkeys from Pisa bully deer from London.
Ok, admittedly, it's an impossible scenario, but it is a grammatically fine sentence. In English, we can use place names as adjective, so let's shorten the sentence a little.
Pisa monkeys bully London deer.
Now we'll throw in some giraffes from Paris to even the score with those mean monkeys.
Pisa monkeys, whom Paris giraffes intimidate, bully London deer.
English is peculiar in that you can omit relative pronouns, e.g., “ the person whom I love’’ can be expressed as ‘’the the person I love.’’ Let’s do that to this sentence.
Pisa monkeys Paris giraffes intimidate bully London deer.
This kind of pronoun removal can be a little more dedicate to grasp when written than when spoken. Saying the above sentence with pauses after monkeys and intimidate can help. Now we need to replace both of the verbs, intimidate and bully, with their (admittedly uncommon) synonym, buffalo.
Pisa monkeys Paris giraffes buffalo buffalo London deer.
Again, pauses help keep the meaning in mind: Put a pause after monkeys and the first buffalo. Now we'll replace all the worldwide place names with the second-largest city in New York State, Buffalo.(That’s Buffalo’s tallest building, One Seneca Tower, below.)
Buffalo monkeys Buffalo giraffes buffalo buffalo Buffalo deer.
You can probably guess what the next step is. But before we replace all the animals with the common name for the American bison, note how the capital letters in the above sentence help you keep the place names separate from the other usages of the word. Ok, here goes:
Buffalo, buffalo, Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, Buffalo, buffalo.
One last thing to note: This exceptional sentence is possible because the plural of the animal buffalo is buffalo, not buffalos, otherwise all the words wouldn’t be identical.
【1】How should we read the following sentence with proper pauses?
A.Buffalo buffalo Buffalo / buffalo buffalo /buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
B.Buffalo Buffalo /Buffalo buffalo buffalo / buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
C.Buffalo buffalo Buffalo / buffalo buffalo buffalo / Buffalo buffalo.
D.Buffalo buffalo /Buffalo buffalo / buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
【2】What’s the key element to make this sentence possible?
A.The relative pronouns in English can be omitted.
B.In English, place names can be used as adjectives.
C.The city has the same name with a kind of American bison.
D.The word buffalo has the same form of singular and plura.
【3】Where can you probably find this article?
A.Wandering the Earth
B.Linguistics Around Us
C.Popular Animal Science
D.Collins English Grammer
23、Rocky Lyons was five years old when his mother, Kelly, was driving along the country road with him. He was asleep on the front seat of their truck, with his feet resting on her lap. As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. The truck hit a rock and slid off the road. She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal(踏板)and turning the steering wheel to the left. But Rocky's foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck.
The truck fell into a 20-foot ravine(峡谷). When it hit the bottom,Rocky woke up. “What happened, Mom?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Kelly was seriously wounded and blinded by blood. “I’ll get you out, Mom, ” announced Rocky, who had surprisingly escaped injury. He climbed out from under Kelly, slid through the open window and tried to yank his mother out. But she didn’t move.
“Just let me sleep,” begged Kelly,who was out of consciousness(意识). Rocky insisted,“Mom, you can’t go to sleep.”
Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he’d climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Kelly refused to let him go alone. Instead they slowly moved up to the road. The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up, but Rocky wouldn’t let her.
Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase, “I know you can. I know you can.” When they finally reached the road, Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother’s torn face clearly for the first time. Waving his arms and shouting, “Please stop!” the boy stopped a truck. His mother was sent to hospital.
It took eight hours to rebuild Kelly’s face. She looks quite different today-she has a few scars but has recovered from her injuries.
Rocky’s heroics were big news. Everyone was surprised at this little boy’s power. “It’s not like I wanted it to happen,” the boy explained. “I just did what anyone would have done.” “If it weren’t for Rocky, I’d have died,” said his mother.

24、My Ph.D. adviser informed me I had failed my qualifying exam on my third attempt, which meant dismissal from the program. How was it possible that one exam — one hour of my life — could define me as unfit to be a scientist?
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started my Ph.D. program. I struggled with my classes during my first year, spending countless hours studying in the library. I ended that year with increased confidence. But soon my confidence went when I made my first attempt at the qualifying exam. I had switched research projects 5 months earlier, after my first adviser left the university, so I wasn’t so confident going into the exam. Besides, I had never taken an oral exam before, so the experience was terrifying.
Once it was over, my committee told me I’d conditionally passed, which meant I had to take more time to study and prepare to talk about the topic further. I was shaken but still hopeful. But when I retook the exam, I failed again. That’s when I was told I’d have one more chance.
For the next 5 months, I asked my committee chairs for guidance and practiced answering oral questions. I even stopped doing lab work to focus on my exam preparations. I was all in.
When the exam was over, I left the room feeling a mix of fear and relief. But those feelings changed to disappointment the next day after I learned I’d failed. I speak Spanish at home, but I have difficulty translating even the simplest scientific concepts into Spanish. This hampered my ability to comfortably speak the expected “language of science.”
My adviser requested to reinstate (恢复) me to the Ph.D. program, and I’m now back to working on my doctorate. I still have a little voice in the back of my head that I’m not good enough. But I try to stop it by surrounding myself with professors who support me and by staying focused on developing into the great scientist I know I can be. I am much more than that one-hour exam.

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。
It was an ordinary school day. I was in the fifth grade. Children like me who didn’t live close enough to go home for lunch brought their paper wrapped meals and gathered under the shade of a tree.
Such lunches usually consisted of a sandwich, hard-boiled egg, cookie and a piece of fruit. If a schoolmate’s sandwich or cookie appeared to be more appetizing than your own, you tried to negotiate a trade. I always tried to trade something I didn’t want anyway--a mashed-bean sandwich or an overripe banana. It never occurred to me to trade a slice of Mama’s Old Kentucky walnut cake for my schoolmate’s offering of a boring-looking sweet cookie, even though I could see longing in the exchanger’s eyes.
Sometimes Mama put two pieces of fruit in my lunch package, one to be eaten at morning recess if I was hungry. Quite often, though, I saved that piece of fruit as my bargaining piece for a sugary doughnut or fried apple pie.
Unashamedly, I always examined the looks and quality of my fruit to see which piece was better and then offered my classmate the poorer, less attractive piece. I felt no guilty of selfishness. It was just a good trading sense.
That autumn day after the lunch-bringers had eaten their food, got rid of the wrappings and walked to various parts of the playground, I wandered under the shade of a maple, watching butterflies flying lazily southward. I was still hungry and Mama had put no fruit in my lunch that day.
I saw my classmate Stella coming up a path.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
