C Living near bars and fast-food restaurants could be harmful to heart health, according to a new research.These kinds of ready-to-eat food environments typically provide unhealthy foods and drinks,and have been related to cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure,said Lu Qi,a head researcher at Tulane University in New Orleans. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can't get enough blood to meet the body's needs.This study is likely the first to evaluate the connection between food environment and heart failure with long-term observation."Most previous researches on the relation between nutrition and human health have been focused on food quality, neglecting the impact of food environment,"Qi said."Our present study highlights the importance of accounting for food environment in nutrition researches." Researchers evaluated the connection using data from more than 500,000 adults in the United Kingdom.They measured participants'exposure to three types of food environments-bars,restaurants and fast-food restaurants.Exposure was determined by proximity (living within 1 kilometer)and density (the number of ready-to-eat food stores within I kilometer). The study documented nearly 13,000 heart failure cases during a 12-year follow-up period and the results showed that participants with 10 or more ready-to-eat stores near their homes had a 16%greater risk of heart failure than those with no ready-to-eat food environments.Lnose closest to the bars(less than 500 meters)had a 14%-higher risk than those who 'lived the farthest away (more than 3,000 meters). The researchers noted the findings suggested that creating healthier food environments and improving physical fitness facilities,along with helping more people receive higher levels of education,could reduce the increased risk of heart failure linked to quick-meal options. Overall,the study stresses the importance of improving food environments to prevent heart failure,and the researchers note that more studies are needed,particularly evaluating nutrition unsafety,to make sure of the applicability of this study's results. 28 What does the underlined word "neglecting"in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Ways Food Is Cooked Really Count B.Single Food Choices Lead to Nutritional Imbalance C Ready-to-eat Food Surroundings Could Harm Heart Health D.Fast Food Is Increasingly Entering the Consumption Market D Think "art".What comes to your mind?Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre,or Chinese paintings?Have you ever imagined it's a dancing pattern of lights? The artworks created by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night./isitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact wich them literally-by using their phones to change the colors and patterns. But are they really art? Whatever your opinion,we cannot deny art has existed for thousands of years and art and technology have always been two separate things. Today,however,technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology,changing the art world greatly.Now art is more accessible to us.For example,people used to queue up for six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5-meter Chinese painting Along the River during the Qingming Festival.Thanks to technology,however,viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting,where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings. The combination of art and technology is also changing our concents of"art"and the "artist",Not only can we interact with art,but also we can take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips,more people are exploring new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos. However,it has also raised questions over its overall quality.Can a video of someone slicing a tomato really be called "art"? Similarly,such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists'tools really call themselves an "artist"?And is the artist the creator of the art itself,or the maker of the technology behind it? Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess.But one thing is for sure- with so many artists exploring new possibilities,we can definitely expect the unexpected. 32.How could viewers interact with Janet Echelman's artworks A.By talking to her on the phone. B.By lighting up the artworks. C.By touching their phone screens. D.By coloring the patterns. 33.What does the example in Paragraph 4 indicate? A Achievements of China's technology. B.The influence of art on technology. C.Interaction between viewers and art. D.Easier access to art caused by technology. 34.What do we know about the combination of art and technology? A.It lowers the quality of artworks.(B.I involves common people in innovation. C.It shortens the time of painting.D.It makes scientists the real creators of art. 35.What is the author's attitude towards combining teckmology with art? A.Subjective. B.Objective. C.Negative. D.Positive. -5- 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以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多余选项。 How to Have Better,Deeper Conversations In today's fast-paced world,distractions are everywhere,especially from our phones.When talking with friends,it can be frustrating when their attention shifts away. 360 It's a skill that can be cultivated.Here are three key ways to enhance your listening ability.

Whenever he gave me a little bit of money,he would say,"This is for spending.But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up."When he gave me larger amounts,it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank.For some time,this worked fine.I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins.As it became heavier,I grew more excited,dreaming about buying my new bike,and all the adventures I could have on it. Whenever I wanted to take'some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens,I would imagine riding my bike on the street,and thinking of that,my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away.So for almost six months,I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out.I thought I wouldn't break my piggy bank for anything.But one day something unexpected happened.I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearbyxprovince. As many houses were destroyed,a lot of children became homeless.Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces,I was sleepless that night. 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右： 2续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1:I knew I should do something.
