Do you know Food Trainer? It is an app called FoodT. A group of scientists at the University of Exeter developed it. It helps people eat less junk food through a game.
In the game, healthy food always appears in green circles and unhealthy food always comes in red circles. Some everyday objects, such as pencils and sweaters, appear randomly (随机地) in the green or red circles. When a user clicks (点击) on the healthy food or an object in the green circle, he can get a point. If he clicks on unhealthy food or any other object in red circles, he will lose a point.
Does this simple game work well? The developers of the app did a study. They invited more than 1,200 volunteers to play the game once a day. After a month, the volunteers reported their changes. Most of them said they ate more healthy food. Some volunteers used to eat junk food two to four times a week. At the end of the study, they only ate once a week. And almost each volunteer lost some weight.
Why does the app work so well? It’s because it uses brain training techniques (技术). The game trains users’ brains to reduce their cravings (渴望) for junk food. Through practice, users lose interest in junk food in their life. But they need to play it at certain times and not stop.
The app is free and it only takes about four minutes every day, so people can do it not just at home but anywhere. Try it now.
67. What do users click on to get points in the game?
A. Unhealthy food. B. All everyday objects.
C. Things in red circles. D. Things in green circles.
68. What was the change for almost each volunteer?
A. They gave up games. B. They lost some weight.
C. They ate more junk food. D. They lost interest in food.
69. What does the underlined word “reduce” mean?
A. Cut down. B. Get into. C. Set up. D. Care for.
70. What should people do to use the app?
A. Pay for the app. B. Train their brains.
C Play it at certain times. D. Choose the right place.
【答案】67. D 68. B 69. A 70. C
【解析】

One day, Anne’s stepmother Marilla told Anne that Miss Stacey, a new teacher, came to Green Gables.
“Anne, Miss Stacey says you are doing well in school. If you can study better, you will pass the exam for Queen’s College. Then, after a year at the college, you can become a teacher!” said Marilla. Anne was very happy. “Oh, I’d love to be a teacher!” Then in the afternoons, Anne and some of her friends studied late at school for the exam and Miss Stacey helped them.
The time passed quickly. On a warm summer day in early June, Anne took the exam. Three weeks later, Diana, one of Anne’s friends, ran into the kitchen at Green Gables, waving (挥动) a newspaper. “Look, Anne!” she shouted. “You came in first!” Anne took the newspaper and saw her name at the top of two hundred students. For the first time in her life, she was too excited to say a word.
The evening before Anne left for college, her stepmother cried. “I was just thinking of the time when you were a little girl,” said Marilla. “And, now you are going away...”
Anne held Marilla’s hands and said, “Marilla, nothing will change. I may be bigger and older, but I’ll always be your little Anne.”

【答案】例文:
Recently, I did a survey about whether parents agree with their children to do volunteer work. Here are the results.
85% of parents agree with the idea. They believe volunteer work can not only help children learn to take care of others, but also learn to get along well with people. What’s more, children can get satisfaction from helping others.
15% of the parents disagree for the reasons. Firstly, their children are busy with studies. It is a waste of time to do volunteer work. Also, they worry about their children’s safety.

Amelia is a college student. When she heard that her friend passed a difficult test she was upset. She failed (不及格) that test.
“I got upset,” said Amelia. Then, instead of being lost in the sad feeling, Amelia called her friend. She told her she didn’t pass and she was jealous (忌妒的).

Do you know Food Trainer? It is an app called FoodT. A group of scientists at the University of Exeter developed it. It helps people eat less junk food through a game.
In the game, healthy food always appears in green circles and unhealthy food always comes in red circles. Some everyday objects, such as pencils and sweaters, appear randomly (随机地) in the green or red circles. When a user clicks (点击) on the healthy food or an object in the green circle, he can get a point. If he clicks on unhealthy food or any other object in red circles, he will lose a point.
Does this simple game work well? The developers of the app did a study. They invited more than 1,200 volunteers to play the game once a day. After a month, the volunteers reported their changes. Most of them said they ate more healthy food. Some volunteers used to eat junk food two to four times a week. At the end of the study, they only ate once a week. And almost each volunteer lost some weight.
Why does the app work so well? It’s because it uses brain training techniques (技术). The game trains users’ brains to reduce their cravings (渴望) for junk food. Through practice, users lose interest in junk food in their life. But they need to play it at certain times and not stop.
The app is free and it only takes about four minutes every day, so people can do it not just at home but anywhere. Try it now.
67. What do users click on to get points in the game?
A. Unhealthy food. B. All everyday objects.
C. Things in red circles. D. Things in green circles.
68. What was the change for almost each volunteer?
A. They gave up games. B. They lost some weight.
C. They ate more junk food. D. They lost interest in food.
69. What does the underlined word “reduce” mean?
A. Cut down. B. Get into. C. Set up. D. Care for.
70. What should people do to use the app?
A. Pay for the app. B. Train their brains.
C. Play it at certain times. D. Choose the right place.
