You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises. Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories. High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 1. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A. Running. B. Swimming. C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training. 2. Who may also be interested in the third exercise? A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance. C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise. C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Running部分的“An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running.(一个普通人在一个小时的跑步中可以燃烧500到1000卡路里)”，High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT)部分的“On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.(平均而言，一个人在30分钟内会燃烧400到600卡路里)”，Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.(跳绳一小时可以燃烧600到1000卡路里)”和Swimming部分的“In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories.(在短短30分钟的游泳中，一个普通人可以燃烧200到300卡路)”可知，高强度间歇运动一小时燃烧的卡路里是800-1200卡路里，游泳一小时燃烧的卡路里是400到600卡路里，因此高强度间歇训练在一小时内消耗的卡路里最多。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump.(跳绳在训练平衡性和协调性的同时，还能很好地加强下半身和上半身的力量，因为在跳绳的时候，你的大脑必须工作)”可知，那些想要平衡的人可能对第三个锻炼也感兴趣。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.(你可能会考虑通过训练来燃烧卡路里。你可以通过下面的练习获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果)”可知，本文主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼，因此目的是提供燃烧卡路里的方法。故选C。 B Despite the fact that burgers, chips and fries are known as some of the most unhealthy food we can eat, they are still the most popular food. There are a few reasons behind that. First, junk food is generally easy to get and take with you. This convenience is a major draw for many, especially people who are always on the go. Restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC can be found outside many schools and workplaces, providing meals in under a minute. Secondly, junk food contains a lot of added sugar and fat. This kind of food causes our brain to send out certain chemicals, which produce the feeling of relaxation, pleasure and enjoyment. That’s why such food is called “comfort food”. Thirdly, our ancestors didn’t have such easy access to the huge variety of food we come across every day. They didn’t have the convenience of having food as easily as we do. So they made it a habit to eat as much as they could to survive and protect themselves from the hard natural conditions. The cave mentality (心理) is passed down to us, which makes us believe that we can never have enough food that is high in sugar and fat, no matter how crazily we eat. Besides, when we are too worried and tired to relax, our body produces cortisol (皮质醇), which increases the sugar content in the blood, so it can be used as energy to aid in fat and carbohydrate metabolism (碳水化合物代谢). Additionally, it is also found to increase hunger. That’s the reason why when we’re thinking about unpleasant things, we prefer foods that are high in sugar, fat and carbohydrate, that is to say unhealthy food. 4. Why are McDonald’s and KFC mentioned? A. To show they take up the best site. B. To show they provide good service. C. To show they are famous for their taste. D. To show they make junk food easy to get. 5. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 4? A. We need all kinds of food. B. Our ancestors lived a hard life. C. We are born to eat more than we need. D. It is difficult for us to change our habits. 6. What is a cause of the increase of sugar content in our body? A. Too much stress. B. A wish for food. C. A fast metabolic rate. D. Not having enough energy. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. How harmful junk food is. B. Why fast food is so delicious. C. How we can develop a healthy lifestyle. D. Why we love unhealthy food so much. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了垃圾食品不健康但是仍然很受欢迎的几个原因。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“First, junk food is generally easy to get and take with you. This convenience is a major draw for many, especially people who are always on the go. Restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC can be found outside many schools and workplaces, providing meals in under a minute. (首先，垃圾食品通常很容易买到并随身携带。这种便利是吸引许多人的主要原因，尤其是那些总是在路上的人。像麦当劳和肯德基这样的餐厅可以在许多学校和工作场所外找到，在一分钟内提供饭菜。)”可推知，提到麦当劳和肯德基是为了表明他们使垃圾食品很容易得到。故选D。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Thirdly, our ancestors didn’t have such easy access to the huge variety of food we come across every day. They didn’t have the convenience of having food as easily as we do. So they made it a habit to eat as much as they could to survive and protect themselves from the hard natural conditions. The cave mentality (心理) is passed down to us, which makes us believe that we can never have enough food that is high in sugar and fat, no matter how crazily we eat. (第三，我们的祖先没有这么容易获得我们每天遇到的各种各样的食物。他们不像我们这样容易得到食物。因此，他们养成了尽可能多吃的习惯，以生存并保护自己免受恶劣的自然条件的影响。洞穴心态传给了我们，这让我们相信，无论我们吃得多么疯狂，我们都永远不会有足够的高糖和高脂肪的食物。)”可知，第四段告诉我们，我们生来就吃得比我们需要的多。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Besides, when we are too worried and tired to relax, our body produces cortisol (皮质醇), which increases the sugar content in the blood, so it can be used as energy to aid in fat and carbohydrate metabolism (碳水化合物代谢). Additionally, it is also found to increase hunger. (此外，当我们过于担心和疲劳而无法放松时，我们的身体会产生皮质醇，这会增加血液中的糖含量，因此它可以作为能量来帮助脂肪和碳水化合物的代谢。此外，它还会增加饥饿感。)”可知，压力太大导致我们体内的糖含量增加。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Despite the fact that burgers, chips and fries are known as some of the most unhealthy food we can eat, they are still the most popular food. (尽管汉堡、薯条和薯条被认为是最不健康的食物，但它们仍然是最受欢迎的食物。)”结合文章主要分析了垃圾食品不健康但是仍然很受欢迎的几个原因。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是为什么我们这么喜欢不健康的食物。故选D。 C “Age is just a number” is a saying that some people might disagree with but for healthy and fit great-grandmother Anne Sheppard, nothing could be more true. At 100 years old, Anne can kick, crunch and do full push-ups. And she is always exercising with other fitness fans who are almost 70 years her junior in the gym. South Melbourne-born Anne worked at the local clothing factory while her husband Max was away at work with the army. When the couple retired in 1981, they signed up to their local gym, where Anne is still a member 40 years later. “I feel stronger and fitter than before!” Anne says in an interview from her gym in Melbourne. She has just finished a rigorous training class, one of five group courses she attends throughout the week. “I just love it and I want to keep going as long as I can,” she smiles. “It’s part of my life now—my husband has passed away and now I’m on my own. The gym is my second family and I’d be lost without them.” “Anne is a superstar,no matter where she goes,everyone is attracted to her!I know she inspires us to do whatever we set our minds to. We’re all jealous because we want to get to 100 years old and be like her,” says Jan, a friend of Anne in the gym. Exercise has always been an important part of life for Anne. Despite going to the gym three days a week, Anne also keeps active in other ways, and regularly walks to and from the local supermarket. Life has now slowed a little bit for Anne. As for her next personal best, her goal is to keep going to the gym. That’s how Anne enjoys her life. 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To summarize the passage. B. To introduce the main character. C. To explain the meaning of a saying. D. To ask for background information. 9. What can we learn about Anne in paragraph 2? A. She used to work with her husband in the army. B. She takes exercise as an important part of her life. C. She became a member of the local gym 70 years ago. D. She stopped exercising after her husband passed away. 10. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 2? A. The training class. B. The interview. C. The smile. D. The week. 11. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Anne, Enjoying Her Slow Life B. Anne, an Attractive Gym Coach C. Anne, a 100-year-old Fitness Lover D. Anne, Coming to Her Next Personal Best 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位100岁了依然热爱健身的老人Anne Sheppard。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“‘Age is just a number’ is a saying that some people might disagree with, but for healthy and fit great-grandmother Anne Sheppard, nothing could be more true. (‘年龄只是一个数字’这句话有些人可能不同意，但对于健康的曾祖母Anne Sheppard来说，没有什么比这更真实的了)”以及下文对Anne Sheppard的详细介绍可知，第一段的目的是引出文章要介绍的人物Anne Sheppard。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“‘I just love it and I want to keep going as long as I can,’ she smiles. ‘It’s part of my life now — my husband has passed away and now I’m on my own. The gym is my second family and I’d be lost without them.’ (‘我很喜欢它，只要我能，我就会一直坚持下去。’她微笑着说：‘这是我现在生活的一部分——我丈夫去世了，现在我独自一人。健身房就是我的第二个家，如果没有他们，我会很失落的。’)”可知，健身成为Anne Sheppard生活中重要的一部分。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词为代词it，应是代指前文提到的事物，根据前文“She has just finished a rigorous training class, one of five group courses she attends throughout the week. (她刚刚完成了一门严格的训练课，这是她每周参加的五门集体课程之一)”可知，it应是代指training class。故选A。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“‘Age is just a number’ is a saying that some people might disagree with, but for healthy and fit great-grandmother Anne Sheppard, nothing could be more true. (‘年龄只是一个数字’这句话有些人可能不同意，但对于健康的曾祖母Anne Sheppard来说，没有什么比这更真实的了。)”以及下文对Anne Sheppard这位100岁了还在坚持健身的老人的详细介绍，可知本文主要介绍100岁还在健身锻炼的老人Anne Sheppard。由此可知，C选项“Anne, a 100-year-old Fitness Lover (Anne，一个100岁的健身爱好者)”能够概括文章内容，适合作为文章标题。故选C。 D According to reports, three-quarters of all crops around the world depend on pollinating (授粉的) insects like bees and butterflies. By pollinating, pollinators enable the production of seeds. Without them, crop farming can become extremely difficult or costly threatening food supplies and prices globally. Research has shown a rapid and consistent decline in pollinator populations. Average butterfly populations have almost halved since 1991 and bee populations in particular face a sharp decline. Given the world’s growing dependence on these insects, we can only expect the problem to worsen if no action is taken. Much has been written about how intensive farming practices the use of chemical pesticides and pollution are threatening the survival of these helpful insects. To add to the already critical situation, global warming is contributing significantly to the rapid disappearance of pollinators. Climate change is a major threat to pollinators, with rising temperatures and increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events affecting the food sources and habitats, on which pollinators depend for their survival. Climate change also changes the timing and availability of lowering plants, leading to mismatches between pollinators and their food sources. A study has found that climate change has shifted plants’ blooming to earlier times and caused certain plants to move to higher areas, resulting in a decline in pollination. Another study has found that climate change could lead to a decline in the quality of nectar, which is the main food source for many pollinators. As temperatures rise, the sugar content of nectar decreases, making it less nutritious for pollinators. This leads to a decline in the health and reproductive success of pollinators, as well as a decline in the pollination of plants. Needless to say, cutting global emissions is key. It’s essential that we continue to advocate for emission reductions. From country-level to individual businesses, more concrete roadmaps to net zero are a must. We must at least minimize, if not prevent, the usage of pesticides, since these chemicals are harmful to pollinators and can have a far-reaching effect on pollination as a whole. 12. What does paragraph 1 try to show? A. The influence of crop crises. B. The importance of pollinators. C. The serious challenges faced by humans. D. The increasing difficulty of crop production. 13. How does the author sound in paragraph 2? A. Curious. B. Suspicious. C. Humorous. D. Anxious. 14. What do paragraphs 3-4 mainly talk about? A. How climate change has affected pollinators. B. Causes of the decline in pollinator populations. C. The importance of pollinators to the ecosystem. D. Why chemical pesticides are harmful to pollinators. 15. What is a suggestion for helping pollinators? A. Starting keeping bees. B. Reducing pesticide use. C. Increasing the amount of nectar. D. Building more habitats for pollinators. 【答案】12 B 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了气候变化和农药使用对传粉媒介（如蜜蜂和蝴蝶）数量的影响，以及这些影响如何威胁到全球的粮食供应和价格。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to reports, three-quarters of all crops around the world depend on pollinating (授粉的) insects like bees and butterflies. By pollinating, pollinators enable the production of seeds. Without them, crop farming can become extremely difficult or costly threatening food supplies and prices globally.(据报道，世界上四分之三的作物依赖于蜜蜂和蝴蝶等授粉昆虫。通过授粉，传粉者使种子得以产生。没有它们，农作物种植就会变得极其困难或成本高昂，威胁到全球的粮食供应和价格)”可知，第一段想要展示的是传粉者的重要性。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Research has shown a rapid and consistent decline in pollinator populations. Average butterfly populations have almost halved since 1991 and bee populations in particular face a sharp decline. Given the world’s growing dependence on these insects, we can only expect the problem to worsen if no action is taken.(研究表明，传粉者的数量正在迅速而持续地下降。自1991年以来，蝴蝶的平均数量几乎减少了一半，蜜蜂的数量尤其面临急剧下降。考虑到世界对这些昆虫的日益依赖，如果不采取行动，我们只能预计问题会恶化)”可知，作者对于传粉者减少这一趋势表示担忧。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Much has been written about how intensive farming practices the use of chemical pesticides (杀虫剂), and pollution are threatening the survival of these helpful insects. To add to the already critical situation, global warming is contributing significantly to the rapid disappearance of pollinators.(关于集约化耕作、化学农药的使用和污染如何威胁到这些有益昆虫的生存，已经写了很多文章。雪上加霜的是，全球变暖严重加剧了传粉者的迅速消失)”和第四段“Climate change is a major threat to pollinators, with rising temperatures and increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events affecting the food sources and habitats, on which pollinators depend for their survival.(气候变化是传粉者面临的主要威胁，气温上升以及极端天气事件的频率和强度增加，影响了传粉者赖以生存的食物来源和栖息地)”可知，3到4段主要介绍了传粉者数量下降的原因。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“We must at least minimize, if not prevent, the usage of pesticides, since these chemicals are harmful to pollinators and can have a far-reaching effect on pollination as a whole.(我们必须至少尽量减少农药的使用，因为这些化学品对传粉者有害，并可能对整个传粉过程产生深远的影响)”可知，帮助传粉者的建议包括减少农药的使用。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项多余。 Five Ways to Be Healthy on a Budget ●Go to bed an hour earlier. Lighting and electronics, including TVs, laptops and computers, account for around 30 per cent of your electricity usage. So it’s obvious that going to bed earlier could save you money. Getting adequate sleep makes you less stressed and puts you in a better mood, as well as improving your immune system and helping to protect you from heart disease, diabetes (糖尿病) and dementia. ____16____ ●Get fit on the cheap. There’s no need for an expensive gym membership or classes, or costly kit: the internet is a rich resource for videos on activities as varied as yoga, high intensity or low-impact workouts, or dance. ____17____ Being outdoors in nature is also good for your mental health. ●Abandon the car for short journeys. For local things or meeting people, walk or cycle. This will save money on fuel, plus help prevent you from being too sedentary (久坐的). ____18____ Besides, it is linked with conditions like heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. ●____19____ Meat is expensive, so substitute other, cheaper forms of protein a couple of times a week. Eggs, canned fish and dried beans are inexpensive and nutritious. Buy cheaper frozen or canned vegetables instead of fresh — they’re usually just as good for you. Skip highly processed foods, from biscuits to ready meals, as these are often high in fat and salt, and choose simple, fresh ingredients you can cook yourself. ●Turn the heating down a little bit. We don’t want anyone to be living in a cold home, but many of us still keep our heater higher than necessary. ____20____ According to the World Health Organisation. 18℃ is the ideal temperature for healthy, adequately dressed people. A. Make smart food changes. B. Keep a healthy and balanced diet. C. Inactivity has been called the “silent killer”. D. If you want to get more fresh air, then choose to walk or run. E. It is advised that we should take exercise for an hour every day. F. A room that’s too hot can cause skin problems, dry eyes and headaches. G. Research has even shown that people who go to bed later gain more weight. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. C 19. A 20.

He had always found joy in the rhythmic tides and the ocean waves against the shore. The salty wind and the cries of the seagulls (海鸥) had been like a comforting song to him during his childhood. However, all these changed over the years. Every time he wandered along the familiar stretch of sand, his heart sank. The once charming beach was now littered with plastic bags, bottles and other wastes, a distinctive contrast to the natural beauty that had always absorbed him. The sight was a painful reminder of the harm the locals were bringing to the very land where he was growing up. Christian felt a deep sense of loss and responsibility. Previously, he had seen the news reports about the severe effects of plastic pollution on the oceans, and the images of sea creatures stuck in plastic wastes haunted (萦绕于脑际) him. Determined to make a change, Christian decided to take action. He knew he couldn’t solve this problem alone, but he could start something that might grow into a powerful movement. With the passion and belief of a young man who loved his ocean and his land deeply, he founded an organization called Waves of Change. The early days presented challenges in calling on volunteers. He began by reaching out to the students in his school. He shared the shocking reality of the polluted beaches and the urgent need to reduce plastic litter. To his delight, gradually more and more schoolmates started showing interest in the organization and many were eager to join in the cause. They were all too familiar with the beauty of the ocean and were equally saddened by the damage they had witnessed. As high school students, Christian and other members properly allocates (分配) time to balance the cause and their academic work. 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。 Together, Christian and other members did a lot of things in their free time. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Their efforts finally paid off. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Together, Christian and other members did a lot of things in their free time. They passionately designed posters, spreading awareness about the harmful effects of plastic pollution. They organized regular clean-up events on the spot, not only to remove the existing waste but also to offer the participants an opportunity to witness the seriousness of the problem in person. Christian and his team also started a social media campaign, sharing educational content and updates about their initiatives. Besides, they patiently educated the local community about the importance of using reusable bags and other eco-friendly alternatives. Their efforts finally paid off. As the weeks turned into months, the tireless work of Waves of Change didn’t go unnoticed. Local businesses began to take an interest in their cause, offering support by reducing their own plastic usage and promoting Waves of Change to their customers. The community members were more conscious of their plastic consumption. The organization grew rapidly, with more and more volunteers joining the ranks, all dedicated to the cause of protecting oceans. The ocean, which had been a constant source of joy for Christian, is now thriving once more. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Christian在童年时代便深爱大海，然而多年后，当他返回熟悉的海滩时，却发现海滩已经被塑料垃圾污染。这让他感到沮丧和责任重大。于是他创立了名为Waves of Change的组织，希望借此发起运动来减少塑料垃圾的使用。尽管一开始在召集志愿者方面遇到了挑战，但Christian通过与学校同学分享现实情况，得到了越来越多人的支持和加入。尽管作为高中生，他们需要合理分配时间来平衡学业和环保事业，但他们都渴望为保护海洋做出自己的努力。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Christian和其他成员一起在空闲时间做了很多事情。”可知，第一段可描写Christian和其他成员共同进行的各种环保工作。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们的努力终于得到了回报。”可知，第二段可描写社会各界给予他们的事业支持，以及海洋因此得到一定的保护。 2. 续写线索：做了很多事——开展各种环保工作——得到回报——社会的支持——海洋得到保护 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①清除：remove/clear ②发起：start/launch ③减少：reduce/decrease ④保护：protect/preserve 情绪类 ①富有激情地：passionately/enthusiastically ②耐心地：patiently/with patience 【点睛】[高分句型1] They passionately designed posters, spreading awareness about the harmful effects of plastic pollution.

You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises. Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories. High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 1. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A. Running. B. Swimming. C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training. 2. Who may also be interested in the third exercise? A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance. C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise. C To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle. B Despite the fact that burgers, chips and fries are known as some of the most unhealthy food we can eat, they are still the most popular food. There are a few reasons behind that. First, junk food is generally easy to get and take with you. This convenience is a major draw for many, especially people who are always on the go. Restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC can be found outside many schools and workplaces, providing meals in under a minute. Secondly junk food contains a lot of added sugar and fat. This kind of food causes our brain to send out certain chemicals, which produce the feeling of relaxation, pleasure and enjoyment. That’s why such food is called “comfort food”. Thirdly, our ancestors didn’t have such easy access to the huge variety of food we come across every day. They didn’t have the convenience of having food as easily as we do. So they made it a habit to eat as much as they could to survive and protect themselves from the hard natural conditions. The cave mentality (心理) is passed down to us, which makes us believe that we can never have enough food that is high in sugar and fat, no matter how crazily we eat. Besides, when we are too worried and tired to relax, our body produces cortisol (皮质醇), which increases the sugar content in the blood, so it can be used as energy to aid in fat and carbohydrate metabolism (碳水化合物代谢). Additionally, it is also found to increase hunger. That’s the reason why when we’re thinking about unpleasant things, we prefer foods that are high in sugar, fat and carbohydrate, that is to say unhealthy food. 4. Why are McDonald’s and KFC mentioned? A. To show they take up the best site. B. To show they provide good service. C. To show they are famous for their taste. D. To show they make junk food easy to get. 5. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 4? A. We need all kinds of food. B. Our ancestors lived a hard life. C. We are born to eat more than we need. D. It is difficult for us to change our habits. 6. What is a cause of the increase of sugar content in our body? A. Too much stress. B. A wish for food. C. A fast metabolic rate. D. Not having enough energy. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. How harmful junk food is. B. Why fast food is so delicious. C. How we can develop a healthy lifestyle. D. Why we love unhealthy food so much. C “Age is just a number” is a saying that some people might disagree with, but for healthy and fit great-grandmother Anne Sheppard, nothing could be more true. At 100 years old, Anne can kick, crunch and do full push-ups. And she is always exercising with other fitness fans who are almost 70 years her junior in the gym. South Melbourne-born Anne worked at the local clothing factory while her husband Max was away at work with the army. When the couple retired in 1981, they signed up to their local gym, where Anne is still a member 40 years later. “I feel stronger and fitter than before!” Anne says in an interview from her gym in Melbourne. She has just finished a rigorous training class, one of five group courses she attends throughout the week. “I just love it and I want to keep going as long as I can,” she smiles. “It’s part of my life now—my husband has passed away and now I’m on my own. The gym is my second family and I’d be lost without them.” “Anne is a superstarno matter where she goes,everyone is attracted to her!I know she inspires us to do whatever we set our minds to. We’re all jealous because we want to get to 100 years old and be like her,” says Jan, a friend of Anne in the gym. Exercise has always been an important part of life for Anne. Despite going to the gym three days a week, Anne also keeps active in other ways, and regularly walks to and from the local supermarket. Life has now slowed a little bit for Anne. As for her next personal best, her goal is to keep going to the gym. That’s how Anne enjoys her life. 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To summarize the passage. B. To introduce the main character. C. To explain the meaning of a saying. D. To ask for background information. 9. What can we learn about Anne in paragraph 2? A. She used to work with her husband in the army. B. She takes exercise as an important part of her life. C. She became a member of the local gym 70 years ago. D. She stopped exercising after her husband passed away. 10. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 2? A. The training class. B. The interview. C. The smile. D. The week. 11. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Anne, Enjoying Her Slow Life B. Anne, an Attractive Gym Coach C. Anne, a 100-year-old Fitness Lover D. Anne, Coming to Her Next Personal Best D According to reports, three-quarters of all crops around the world depend on pollinating (授粉的) insects like bees and butterflies. By pollinating, pollinators enable the production of seeds. Without them, crop farming can become extremely difficult or costly threatening food supplies and prices globally. Research has shown a rapid and consistent decline in pollinator populations. Average butterfly populations have almost halved since 1991 and bee populations in particular face a sharp decline. Given the world’s growing dependence on these insects, we can only expect the problem to worsen if no action is taken. Much has been written about how intensive farming practices the use of chemical pesticides and pollution are threatening the survival of these helpful insects. To add to the already critical situation, global warming is contributing significantly to the rapid disappearance of pollinators. Climate change is a major threat to pollinators, with rising temperatures and increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events affecting the food sources and habitats, on which pollinators depend for their survival. Climate change also changes the timing and availability of lowering plants, leading to mismatches between pollinators and their food sources. A study has found that climate change has shifted plants’ blooming to earlier times and caused certain plants to move to higher areas, resulting in a decline in pollination. Another study has found that climate change could lead to a decline in the quality of nectar, which is the main food source for many pollinators. As temperatures rise, the sugar content of nectar decreases, making it less nutritious for pollinators. This leads to a decline in the health and reproductive success of pollinators, as well as a decline in the pollination of plants. Needless to say, cutting global emissions is key. It’s essential that we continue to advocate for emission reductions. From country-level to individual businesses, more concrete roadmaps to net zero are a must. We must at least minimize, if not prevent, the usage of pesticides, since these chemicals are harmful to pollinators and can have a far-reaching effect on pollination as a whole. 12.

He had always found joy in the rhythmic tides and the ocean waves against the shore. The salty wind and the cries of the seagulls (海鸥) had been like a comforting song to him during his childhood. However, all these changed over the years. Every time he wandered along the familiar stretch of sand, his heart sank. The once charming beach was now littered with plastic bags, bottles and other wastes, a distinctive contrast to the natural beauty that had always absorbed him. The sight was a painful reminder of the harm the locals were bringing to the very land where he was growing up. Christian felt a deep sense of loss and responsibility. Previously, he had seen the news reports about the severe effects of plastic pollution on the oceans, and the images of sea creatures stuck in plastic wastes haunted (萦绕于脑际) him. Determined to make a change, Christian decided to take action. He knew he couldn’t solve this problem alone, but he could start something that might grow into a powerful movement. With the passion and belief of a young man who loved his ocean and his land deeply, he founded an organization called Waves of Change. The early days presented challenges in calling on volunteers. He began by reaching out to the students in his school. He shared the shocking reality of the polluted beaches and the urgent need to reduce plastic litter. To his delight, gradually more and more schoolmates started showing interest in the organization and many were eager to join in the cause. They were all too familiar with the beauty of the ocean and were equally saddened by the damage they had witnessed. As high school students, Christian and other members properly allocates (分配) time to balance the cause and their academic work. 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。 Together, Christian and other members did a lot of things in their free time. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Their efforts finally paid off. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 BBACB 6-10 BCCAB 11-15 ACABC 16-20 ABAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
