B When I was 25,I dreamed of a crown ()That was the summer when I was on the shortlist for a female novel prize.The winner was to be announced at a televised event.I was very excited and imagined myself on TV-A crown would be on my head.And then in August of that year,the prize was cancelled for some reason.I was disappointed but still full of hope. To me,writing has always been an exciting act,especially the early moments of creation.This excitement inspired me through years of writing.I published several books,and my sense of achievement grew,yet I was also flooded with rejection letters.Several adult novels that I worked on for years came to nothing. When I turned 40,these rejection letters began to eat away at my hope.I had always known that my books weren't going to make me rich,but I couldn't help feeling disappointed that my writing career hadn't become something more.Actually,I worked fewer teaching hours,and sent my kids to preschool so I could write,but I felt so little had come from it.When my publisher stopped publishing books,sadness hung over me. The following years were tough.I still wrote because I didn't know what else to do.I stopped trying to believe that writing was going to support me financially and then an unexpected thing 2 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap happened:writing became hopeful again.My younger dreams of being a famous writer have given way to more middle-aged satisfactions:the children who tell me they read my books and liked them, my students who say they saw me in a local magazine.Small things are a new kind of hope. Recently,for my 50th birthday,I went to China with my friend.We were in a gift shop when a crown caught my eye.I bought it for myself,and wore it for my birthday party,just for fun. 24.What can be learned about the author from the first two paragraphs? A.She took pride in being a writer. B.She achieved a lot in adult novels. C.She attended a novel competition on TV. D.She got a crown as a prize for the wirner. 25.According to Paragraph 3,why did the author feel disappointed about her writing career? A.She lost chances to teach her kids B.She made jittle advance in writing. C.Writing didn't reward her with wealth. D.Writing took up too much of her time. 26.Why does the author mention the children and her students in Paragraph 4? A.To explain a new hope. B.To stress a good relationship. C.To compare small things. D.To prove the popularity of her books. 27.The author bought herself a crown because A.she wanted to praise herself B.it symbolizes Chinese culture C.she has made peace with her dream D.it would make her party special C If you thought that your children's academic performance is based simply on the number of hours spent on studying,you are wrong.Good grades are a result of multiple factors, everything from the children's brains to the environment they are in.And one of the major,mostly ignored,influencing factors is physical health.Physical activity and health actually can improve a person's ability to learn.According to the National Academy of Medicine,exercise can improve a child's cognitive abilities,health,and academic performance significantly. According to a study by the University of British Columbia,regular aerobic exercise betters the functioning of the hippocampus ()the area of the brain involved in learning and memory. Other forms of exercise like balance exercises,muscle exercises,and resistance training do not have the same result on the brain. The effect of exercise on memory and thinking is both direct and indirect.Directly,regular exercise gives the ability to increase the release of growth factors.These growth factors are CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APp chemicals in the brain that affect the growth of new blood vessels,the health of brain cells,as well as the survival of new brain cells.On the other hand,getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and moods.It will also reduce stress and anxiety. It is believed that the benefits of exercise during the school day are greater than those coming from increasing class time.Furthermore,the greatest cognitive benefits from physical education have been seen to come about when physical educaticn was given either in the first half of the day or midday rather than at the end of the day. In order to get the children moving,rest time,PE classes,biking or walking to school shouid be promoted.Activities like after-school sports that used to be held at school should be restarted. Physical activity should not be seen as a dispensable option but as an important educational concern. 28.What factor is often forgotten when it comes to good grades? A.The children's brains. B.Physical health. C.A good environment. D.The hours spent on learning. 29.How does exercise influence thinking indirectly? A.By affecting the survival of new brain cells. B.By releasing growth factors in large numbers. C.By influencing the growth of new blood vessels. D.By improving a person's mood and sleep quality 30.What does the underlined word"dispensable"mean in the last paragraph? A.Unusual. B.Unique. C. Unnecessary. D.Common. 31.What is the passage mainly about? A.Mental health should never be ignored. B.Physical education class is really a good option. C.Exercise may bring about good academic grades. D.Different exercises have different effects on the brain. D According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations,about two billion people eat bugs,or insects,as part of their daily diet.That's nearly a quarter of the global population, and yet most countries in Europe and North America,despite the nutritional and environmental CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap benefits,are quite unwilling to eat bugs.So why should Westernized countries agree to include bugs in their daily diet? Eating bugs as a replacement for larger farm animals could contribute greatly to a more sustainable(可持续的)world..Bugs have an high feed-lo-product rate and use much less materials than traditional farm animals per pound.According to an article written by the former manager of the Toronto Food Policy Council,Wayne Roberts,"Eatable insects don't appear on any endangered species lists,and their sustainable use could help protect other wildlife since the approach may contribute to habitat protection." The nutritional benefits of cating bugs can be important in fighting childhood deaths,and malnutrition(营养不良)rates.Monica Aiyeko of the Food and Agriculture department at Bondo University College has studied and published the effects of including native crickets into school meal programs in Kenya.Her studies have found that about 30%of Kenyan households are short of food,leading to wide-spread malnutrition among children,particularly under the age of 5.Putting bugs into school feeding programs could provide children with the necessary nutrients to prevent poor growth.Generally,bugs are extremely nutritionally beneficial,rich in protein,omega-3 fats and iron. The popular Western opinion is best stated by New York Times writer Ligaya Mishan, "Europeans,and European settlers in North America,never had a bug-eating tradition.Indeed,we largely consider insects dirty and related to disease.This is a big misunderstanding that we need to clear up.All I want is a food cultural change,is that so much to ask?" 32.What can we learn from paragraph 2? A.Endangered bugs taste less delicious. B.Eating bugs can threaten other wildlife. C.Bugs need less feed for the same production.D.Bugs produce less using more materials. 33.What was the main focus of Aiyeko's study? A.The general health benefits of bugs. B.The climbing malnutrition rates among Kenyan kids. C.The problem of food safety in Kenyan households. D.The benefits of having bugs in school meals in Kenya. 34.What is Mishan attitude towards bug-eating? A.Doubtful B.favourable C.Unclear. D.Indifferent.

B.Bugs:an Unwanted Future Choice C.Bugs:an Unseen Threat to the Crop D.Bugs:a Game-changer in Agriculture 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。 If someone calls you ugly,you might start to wonder if it's true.However,what matters most is how you feel about yourself,despite what other people think or say.If someone calls you ugly,find a way to respond.Work towards accepting yourself.Never hesitate to get support from an adult if you're struggling to feel good about yourself. Responding to the judgements 36.

I see myself as beautiful because I know I am a loving and kind person." ·37. Nobody can define(给…下定义)what is pretty,.normal,or beautiful on the whole..As the saying goes,"Beauty lies in the eye of the lover."38. If you feel low about your looks or what people have said to you or about you,start building your own self-acceptance.See yourself as an imperfect person and learn to accept those imperfections in yourself. Getting social support Whether you need support or someone to share your inner thoughts,talking to an adult can help 39 They might lend a listening ear or give you some advice on how to handle situations when people try to hurt you.They might even help you deal with the person who called you ugly.Adults remember being younger and may be able to give suggestions based on their own experiences.40.
