First announced in April,2016,the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml,was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity y.It is believed that today's children and teenagers are consuming three times the recommended level of sugar,putting them at a higher risk of the disease. Initially the sugar tax was expected to make f520m a year for the Treasury.However,data of the first six months showed it would make less than half this amount.At present it is expected to generate f240m for the year ending in April 2019,which will go to school sports. It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar tevels cut by manufacturers (so they can avoid paying the tax.Drinks now contain 45 million fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers'efforts to avoid the charge,according to 'lreasury figures.Since April drinks companies have been forced to pay between 18p and 24p for every litre of sugary drink they produce or import,depending on the sugar content. However,some high sugar brands,like Classic Coca Cola,have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers.Fruit juices,milk-based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax,as are small companies manufacturing fewer than Im litres per year.

D.It is a success story. 重庆八中高2027级高一（上）阶段性测试第5页（共10页） D It is hardly surprising that rivers have been an important part of human history:They provide food, freshwater,and rich land for growing crops.While water is crucial to life,it can be a destructive force, too.When rivers flood,the effects can be destructive.Flooding is one of the most common types,and it is often fatal(灾难性的). While floods bring damage,they also bring nutrients and essential components for life.Seasonal floods can renew ecosystems,providing life-giving waters in more ways than one.Floods transport vital nutrients to the surrounding land.When the water flows away,it leaves nutrients behind on the floodplain. This rich,natural fertilizer improves soil quality and has a positive effect on plant growth,thus increasing productivity in the ecosystem.Ancient civilizations first arose along the deltas (of seasonally flooded rivers,such as the Nile in Egypt,because they provided rich soil for farmlands. Floods can supply underground water sources.Floodwater gets absorbed into the ground,and then percolates through layers of soil and rock,eventually reaching underground aquifers ()These aquifers supply clean freshwater to springs,wells,lakes,and rivers.Ecosystems rely heavily on groundwater during dry spells when it may be the only supply of freshwater available.A good supply of groundwater has a great impact on soil health and leads to more productive crop and pasture lands. Floods are a force of nature,and their results,both positive and negative,are strongly felt by affected ecosystems.Floods can be destructive to humans and the natural environment,but they also help to drive biodiversity and are essential to the functioning of many ecosystems.Whether you consider floods to be good or bad,one thing is for certain:The world would be a very different place without them. 32.What directly causes the Nile to be one of the birthplaces of ancient civilizations? A.The nutrients on the floodplain. B.The plant growth on the farmland. C.The soil quality improved by fertilizer. D.The groundwater sources in the ecosystem. 33.What does the underlined word "percolates"mean in paragraph 3? A.Lifts up. B.Flows into. C.Runs over. D.Breaks down. 34.What is the author's attitude towards floods? A.Doubtful. B.Indifferent. C.Objective. D.Agreeing. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.The Results of Floods on Agriculture B.The History of Flooding in Ecosystems C.Rivers:A Source of Natural Environment D.Floods:A Force for Destruction and Renewal 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 重庆八中高2027级高一（上）阶段性测试第6项（共10页） How to love your parents It's quite easy for you to be aware of the tensions between you and your parents.36 However, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life.You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you,and are in part,a source of who you are.Here are some ways to love your parents. 37 A gentle"good morning"and"I love you"will warm a coldest heart.Remember that they brought you into this world.Without your parents,you might still wander at an unknown comer in an unknown world.
