In India, people use monkeys’ greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions(说明). •Make a hole(洞) in a big pumpkin. The hole must be just right —not too big or too small. •Put some jujubes(枣) in the hole. •Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in the tree. •Hide(藏) yourself and watch the monkeys. When you leave, the monkeys come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin, they don’t know what’s in it and one of them puts its hand into the hole to find out what is inside. When it touches the jujubes, it will clench(攥紧) some of them in its hand. So it isn’t able to take its fist (拳头) out of the hole. You can’t come close at this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don’t worry. It seems it likes the pumpkin better than its life. It will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. Finally, people can catch it easily. 31.The underlined sentence “The hole must be just right” means it is ________. A. bigger than a monkey’s fist B. smaller than a monkey’s hand C. big enough for the monkey to put its fist in D. bigger than a monkey’s hand but smaller than its fist 32.Which is the right order of the following things? a.

C In our busy society where food is readily available (可得到的) from delivery (递送) services and fast food restaurants, almost one in three American adults is now considered to be obese. Childhood obesity is also at an all-time high. Obesity means very overweight. If you are obese, you have too much body-fat. Doctors define(定义) obesity as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, and overweight as having a BMI of 25 to 30. If you eat more food than your body can use, this will make you put on weight. Food that your body does not need as energy will be stored as fat by your body. The following are the major factors that increase the risk of obesity. ● What you eat plays a major role in weight gain. Eating a lot of fattening foods such as hamburgers, sweet drinks, ice creams and other sweet and fatty foods can increase the risk of becoming obese. ● If you do not do enough exercise, you will put on weight as the food you eat is not being used to make energy for physical activities. ● The chances of you being obese are greater if your parents are obese. ● There are many psychological (心理的) factors that cause people to eat too much. People who are stressed, unhappy or bored will often eat to make themselves feel better. This is known as comfort eating. ● Age is another factor, as you tend to be less active when you get older. The amount of muscle in your body usually decreases (下降) as you get older and this causes the metabolism (新陈代谢) to slow down. As a result of these changes, you need to eat less, and if you do not eat less as you grow older, you will put on weight. Obesity can cause many health disorders such as high blood pressure, diabetes (糖尿病), heart problems, cancer and many other serious medical conditions. 34.What causes older people to become obese? A. Eating too little while exercising too much. B. Sleeping all day. C. Having too much beer while young. D. Slower metabolism. 35.The underlined sentence “Childhood obesity is also at an all-time high.” suggests that ________. A. all the American children are obese B. there are more obese children than before C. there are fewer obese children in the USA D. obesity does no harm to health 36.Which of the following statements about obesity is true? A. Obesity and overweight are actually the same. B. Eating too much increase the risk of obesity. C. Only children can be obese. D. Exercise makes no difference to obesity. 37.What is the next paragraph of this article most probably about? A. How doctors treat disease. B. How diseases are caused by obesity. C. How to avoid obesity. D. How to get used to the busy life in the USA. 四、六选四（每小题 1.5 分，共 6 分） “Hi, Mom” is widely regarded(被认为) as one of the best movies during the Spring Festival in 2021. ____38____ It took her five years, almost all her efforts.
