According to the UN,the average daily food supply available for a person in the rich world increased by over 20%between161 and 2021.In that time,47rates have more than tripled;today,nearly one in three people globally is overweight. Now concemsare growing that the heavy processing may itself be harmful.A particular target is "ultra-processed foods"(UPFs),a relatively recent label put forward by Carlos Monteiro,a Brazilian scientist.Robert F.Kennedy junior.Donald Trump's nominee for secretary ofhealth,has likened processed food to"poison"and promised toreduce the share ofUPFs in American diets.In November 2023 Colombia 48a tax on highly processed foods and drinks.In Britain parliamentarians are49the effects of UPFs on people's health. In 2009 Dr Monteiro came up with a50system,called Nova,that sorts foods into four buckets depending on the degree of processing they undergo.The first group includes minimally processed foods like fruit and milk.The second covers basic51like butter and sugar.Next are foods like canned vegetables and bread. The last group,UPFs,represent heavily processed items like fizzy drinks,sugary cereals and frozen pizzas.These are made with ingredients not typically found in a home kitchen,such as hydrogenated oils or flavouring agents.These are 52modified and reassembled along with additives like artificial colours to make the food more appealing.UPFs often contain higher 53 of fat,sugar and salt than processed foods,which could explain their negative effects. Where those harms come from is still unclear,however.With so many competing factors that could also explain poor health-such as income,education and social conditions-54 studies alone cannot offer conclusive answers.A better way to assess the question is with a randomized controlled trial (RCT).where researchers track a person's food intake and control for all other variables.Participants received either ultra-processed or minimally processed foods for two weeks and were free to eat as much or as little as they wanted. The results were 55.People on the ultra-processed diet ate about 500 more calories per day than those on the unprocessed one.They also gained an average of lkg over two weeks.Dr Hall says that, though the study was short andconducted in an artificial setting,the results suggest that excessmouns of sal sugar and fats might be fully toblame for the ill effects of processed food. 2024-2025学年第一学期高一英语期末试卷 第5页共16页 (B) A.motive B.resources C.source D.contributors E.interpreted F.enthusiastic G.exclusive H.reflections 1.vary J.negotiated K.shocking Taylor Swift Is a Perfect Example of How Publishing Is Changing Among the details on Target's product page for the ofcial Taylor Swift Eras Tour commemorative book-256 pages:500 images and personal 56 written by Swift-was one unusual column buried under the header"Specifications."But the book industry noticed:Her publisher is listed as"Taylor Swift Publications."The superstar is bypassing traditional publishers and releasing her book herself.This perhaps isn'tso57-we know she loves to cut out a middleman:Swift issued her Eras concert movie directly to AMC Theaters and began rerecording her carly albums after an ownership dispute;she also has a long-standing retail relationship with Target,which will be the book's 58retailer,so Taylor fans, you would have no alternative but to go to Target! For the companies that produce and sell books,this could be 59 as a warning sign,because every dollar is spent on what is sure to be a massively successful product.Swift isn't the first star to deal with her own advantageous publishing situation.Lately,various writers with meaningful personal 60-money,followers,notoriety-have struck out on their own or made nontraditional arrangements.Colin Kaepemick and Donald Trump have released books through their own outfits. But despite the profit 61 of doing everything yourself.it seems unlikely that every cclebrity will follow in Swift's footsteps.Publishing a book is hard and expensive,and requires more than just publicity know-how.Few stars,especially those merely looking to bumish their personal brand,will have the interest to62editors,lawyers,designers,rights specialists,and all of the other professionals required to create,distribute,and sell a book. Many celebrities are less 63 than Swift about building an empire may think,as Friedman put it“Do I really need to futz around with this?” If the value that publishers bring to authors can 64,the value that famous people bring to publishers has consistently been significant.A big best seller can buoy a business.But celebrities are not some financial saving grace of traditional publishers.They can be meaningful 65 to a company's bottom line but they require as much work to sell well as most titles.Simply slapping a famous name on a book doesn't always move product. IV.Reading Comprehension(15'+30) Section A Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.B.C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The Unbelievable Slowness of Thinking People tend to have the sense that their inner thoughts and feelings are much richer than what they can express in real time.Elon Musk has spoken publicly about this"bandwidth(problem."Musk is so 66 by this problem,in fact,that he has made it one of his long-term goals to create an app that allows the human brain tocommunicate directly with acomputer,67by the slow speed of speaking 20242025学年第一学期高一英语期末试卷 第6页共16页 or writing. But Musk would probably be68According to new research published in Neuron,human beings think ata fixed,xtremelyso speed of about 10 bits per second.In contrast,human sesry systems gather data at about one billion bits per second.This biological inconsistency might contribute to the69feeling that our mind can engage in seemingly infinite thoughts at the same time. "The human brain is much less70than we might think,"says Markus Meister,a neuroscientist at the Califomia Institute of Technology.It's incredibly slow when it comes to making decisions,and it's ridiculously slower than any of the devices we interact with."He also highlights that our brain can ony do one thing-71-at a time.So even if Musk managed to hook his brain up to a computer,Meister says,he still wouldn't be able to communicate with it any faster than he could if he used a telephone. The new research builds on decades of psychology studies showing that humans72notice only a small portion of information from their sensory experience."We can only pay attention to so much, and that's what becomes our conscious experience and enters memory,"Meister says. Meister collected data from studies across different73,including psychology,neuroscience, technology,and human performance.From research over nearly a century,they found that human cognition has repeatedly been74as functioning between about 5 and 20 bits per second,with an average figure of around 10 bits per second."This was a very surprising number,"Zheng says.75 this finding,a conclusion has been drawn that the total amount of information a person can learn across their lifetime could comfortably 76 a small thumb drive(USB flash disk). Human sensory systems such as sight,smell,and sound,77,operate much faster,the authors found-about 100,000,000 times the rate that cognition does.When you put these numbers together,you realize,oh my god,there's this huge gap,"Meister says. The rich information relayed by our senses also contributes to a false notion that we 78the extreme detail and contrast all around us.But that's"demonstrably not true,"Meister says.When people are asked to describe what they see outside of the center of their gaze,they"barely make out anything,"he says. 79,we could be having lots of different thoughts and direct our cognition in lots of different ways,but in practice,we can only have one thought at a time,"Meister says.Another problem that contributes to our overinflated sense of our own mind,he adds,is that we have no marker of comparison. "There's no way to step outside ourselves to 80that this is really not much to be so proud of."he says. 66.A.outlined B.bothered C.justified 67.A.uninfluenced B.undefined D.overcome 68.A.thrilled C.unlicensed D.unlisted B.secured 69.A.genuine C.disappointed B.rigid D.relieved 70.A.realistic C.false B.natural D.remarkable 71.A.slowly C.influential B.quickly D.impressive 72.A.completely B.obviously C.occasionally D.massively 2024-2025学年第一学期高一英语期末试卷 C.objectively D.selectively 第7页共16页 73.A.means B.fields C.missions D.occupations 74.A.multiplied B.orbited C.measured D.operated 75.A.Regardless of B.Based on C.In place of D.Contrary to 76.A.fit into B.grow into C.evolve into D.plug into 77.A.as a result B.forinstance C.in addition D.on the other hand 78.A.notice B.persuade C.prediet D.recover 79.A.In reality B.In a sense C.In contrast D.In principle 80.A.protest B.resist C.recognize D.separate Section B Directions:Read thefollowing three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A.B.Cand D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) In spring,chickens start laying again,bringing a welcome source of protein at winter's end.So it's no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg Some traditions are simple,like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads.Others elevate the egg into a fancy art,like the heavily jewel-covered"eggs"that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century. One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine.For centuries,Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patters on eggs.Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age:Life is precious,and delicate.Eggs are,too. "There's something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,"says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast.Several years ago,she became interested in eggs and leamned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters."I've broken eggs at every stage of the process-from the very beginning to the very,very end." But there's an appeal in that vulnerability."There's part of this sickening horror of knowing you're walking on the edge with this,that I kind of like,knowing that it could all fall apart at any second."Chast's designs,such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat,reflect that delicateness. Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears.The elaborate patters were believed to offer protection against evil. "There's an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made,evil will not prevail in the world," says Joan Brander,a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years,having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives. 81.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg? A.It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring. B.It is their major source of protein in winter. C.It can easily be made into a work of art. D.It can bring wealth and honor to them. 82.What do we leamn about the decorated"eggs"in Russia? 2024-2025学年第一学期高一英语期末试卷 第8页共16页 A.They are shaped like jewel cases. B.They are cherished by the rich. C.They are heavily painted in red. D.They are favored as a form of art. 83.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition? A.Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life. B.Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists. C.Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today. D.Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on. 84.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs? A.She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed. B.She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea. C.She always derives great pleasure from designing something new. D.She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.
