Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits. As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree. They have since visited 29 different national parks across America---from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.” “I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added. Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said. 41. Why did Brad Ryan visit his grandma in 2015? A. To cheer himself up. B. To please his grandma. C. To take his grandma to travel. D.

But is this really the best way? With celebrities speaking about new diets that have helped them become slim in advertisements, more and more people are turning to dieting. Some shops begin to sell diet products such as diet milkshakes, snack bars and even diet pills. However, such popular products and diets are often found to be extremely unhealthy. Most of these popular diets work by cutting down on a certain nutrient from your food intake. For example, some diets work by cutting down on carbohydrates (碳水化合物). This means the body must use its fat reserves for energy. This might help you lose weight. However, by cutting a particular food group out of your diet, you are starving your body of a nutrient that it needs, which could leave you feeling weak, tired or even bad-tempered. Besides, these diets are often unsuccessful in the long run. Generally, one of the most effective ways of losing weight is to cut down on calories. The recommended calorie intake for an adult male is 2,500. If a man consumes more than 2,500 calories each day, then he is likely to gain weight. However, if he consumes less, then he is likely to lose weight. In fact, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals all play an important role in staying healthy, which is why they all should be included in your meals. Of course, some foods can be eaten in moderation as an occasional snack. For example, a bar of chocolate every once in a while won’t cause you any problems. So, instead of spending money on popular diet pills or special weight loss foods, try to eat healthy balanced meals containing foods from all food groups. So, next time your friends tell you that they are going on a diet, tell them that eating a healthy balanced diet is a much better choice. 48. What is the author’s opinion about the popular diets mentioned in the passage? A. They are useful for losing weight. B. They are welcomed by celebrities. C. They are not as healthy as people think. D. They are replacing people’s everyday meals. 49. The underline phrase is closest in meaning to . A. regularly B. reasonably C. immediately D. frequently 50. How can we lose weight effectively according to the author? A. By having diet pills. B. By following a strict diet. C. By taking regular exercise. D. By reducing calorie intake. 51. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Diet products should be limited. B. Snacking is a big no-no for health. C. Keeping a diet with various nutrients is ideal. D. Going on a diet should be stopped immediately. Section C (8’) Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. We can all have a bad night of sleep and that’s perfectly normal, but how could we try to improve both the quantity and the quality of our sleep? Here are four tips for better sleep. Let’s start with regularity. ____52____ Regularity is king, and it will actually help your sleep, no matter whether it’s the weekday or the weekend or even if you’ve had a bad night of sleep. Many of us use an alarm to wake up but very few of us use a to-bed alarm, and that’s something that can be helpful. ____53____ It turns out that your brain and your body need to drop their temperature by about 1℃ in order to begin sleep and then to stay asleep. And this is the reason that you will always find it easier to fall asleep in a room that’s too cold than too hot. The third tip is darkness. We need darkness specifically in the evening to produce a hormone called melatonin (褪黑素). ____54____ Turn off the lights in your room. You’d actually be quite surprised at how sleepy that can make you feel. The final tip is to walk it out. Don’t stay in bed awake for long periods of time. And the general rule is that if you’ve woken up and you can’t get back to sleep after 25 minutes, the recommendation is to get out of bed. And you can go and do something else. ____55____ In that way, gradually, your brain will relearn the relation that your bed is this place of sound and continuous sleep. A. Next, keep the room cool. B. Only return to bed when you’re sleepy. C. Visit your doctor if you have a sleep problem. D. It doesn’t matter whether you get up or fall asleep again. E. Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time. F. In the last hour before bed, try to stay away from all of those computer screens and phones. V.
