But it used to take a lot longer to go around the world.Magellan's men were the first 金 to make the trip.It took them more than two years to do so by ship. Magellan was from Portugal,but he sailed for the king of Spain.On September 20, 1519,he left Spain with five ships and 240 men.After passing the south tip of South America,they reached the Pacific Ocean,on which they sailed more than one year.Very often they could not see a piece of land for months and they suffered greatly from the lack of food and fresh water.Many of them died of hunger and diseases.They even had to live on sawdust ()Finally in April 1521,Magellan got to the Philippine Islands,where he 部 was killed.His men fled and continued their voyage across the Indian Ocean.It was with the greatest difficulty that they passed the Cape of Good Hope.By the time they returned to Spain on December 21,1521,seven out of every eight men had died.Magellan's voyage proved that men could sail around the world and that our earth is but a huge ball. 21.Miss Yamada could fly round the world in less than fifty hours because A.our world was getting smaller and smaller B.her plane was the fastest at the time this passage was written 阳 C.they had developed planes that could go more than 600 miles an hour 翻 D.her plane was very fast 22.According to the passage,the newest plane at that time could go around the world in about A.fifty hours B.thirty-five hours C.forty-one hours D.thirty-eight hours 23.What is the best title for this passage? 童 A.Magellan's Voyage B.Going Around the World C.Sailing Around the World D.The World Is Round 7-1 B For those who can stomach it,working out before breakfast may be more beneficial for health than eating first,according to a study of meal timing and physical activity. Athletes and scientists have long known that meal timing affects performance. However,far less has been known about how meal timing and exercise might affect general health. To find out,British scientists conducted a study.They first found 10 overweight and inactive but otherwise healthy young men,whose lifestyles are,for better and worse, representative of those of most of us.They tested the men's fitness and resting metabolic (新陈代谢的)rates and took samples(样品)of their blood and fat tissue. Then,on two separate morning visits to the scientists'lab,each man walked for an hour at an average speed that,in theory,should allow his body to rely mainly on fat for fuel.Before one of these workouts,the men skipped breakfast,meaning that they exercised on a completely empty stomach after a long overnight fast ()On the other occasion,they ate a rich morning meal about two hours before they started walking. Just before and an hour after each workout,the scientists took additional samples of the men's blood and fat tissue. Then they compared the samples.There were considerable differences.Most obviously,the men displayed lower blood sugar levels at the start of their workouts when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten.As a result,they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first.On the other hand, they burned slightly more calories(卡路里)，on average,during the workout after breakfast than after fasting. But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the most significant, the researchers found.Multiple genes behaved differently,depending on whether someone had eaten or not before walking.Many of these genes produce proteins (that can improve blood sugar regulation and insulin (levels throughout the body and so are associated with improved metabolic health.These genes were much more active when the men had fasted before exercise than when they had breakfasted. The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise,it may be wise to skip eating first. 24.The underlined expression "stomach it"in Paragraph 1 most probably means" A.digest the meal easily B.manage without breakfast C.decide wisely what to eat D.eat whatever is offered 25.Why were the 10 people chosen for the experiment? A.Their lifestyles were typical of ordinary people. B.Their lack of exercise led to overweight. C.They could walk at an average speed. D.They had slow metabolic rates. 26.What happened to those who ate breakfast before exercise? A.They successfully lost weight. B.They consumed a bit more calories 7-2 C.They burned more fat on average. D.They displayed higher insulin levels. 27.What could be learned from the research? A.A workout after breakfast improves gene performances. B.Too much workout often slows metabolic rates. C.Lifestyle is not as important as morning exercise. D.Physical exercise before breakfast is better for health. C Soda(苏打汽水)，while sweet and inexpensive,may not be worth drinking.Sugary drinks can have many bad health effects,including a 26%greater risk of diabetes ( for regular soda drinkers.And men drinking one can of sugary drinks per day have a 20% higher risk of having or dying from a heart attack than those who rarely drink them.The health effects of drinking soda also affect pre-school children,heightening their chances of becoming obese at a very young age.According to Harvard School of Public Health,one in three children in America are obese or overweight,and childhood obesity has tripled )in the last 30 years.Should government get people to reduce their drinking of soda and sugary drinks due to health effects? People in San Francisco were given the opportunity to voice their opinion on Proposition E,which suggested a soda tax ()The tax,which needed to pass with a two-thirds majority,would have provided money for health and physical education programs,and the hope was that it would also discourage citizens from buying unhealthy drinks.Although San Francisco's Proposition E failed to be passed,Berkeley citizens succeeded in passing the nation's first ever sugary drink tax on their similar Measure D. People who were for the tax hoped that the price of sugary drinks would discourage people from buying them.Mexico recently introduced a tax on drinks,which,though not well received by the public,was successful in reducing the amount of soda bought.After the tax was put into effect,Mexico's biggest soda production company's sales dropped by 6.4%. People who were against the tax were concerned about their right to buy whatever drinks they wanted,without any additional taxes.Those who also disagreed were the market,the bar,and soda industries,which would possibly lose money from reduced sales of these drinks because of the added cost.And although the Proposition E tax money was supposed to go to city-operated programs,some citizens were doubtful about how well this plan would have been carried out. 28.Harvard School of Public Health found that in America A.soda drinkers doubled in recent 30 years B.26%of children are suffering from diabetes C.the number of obese children has increased greatly D.young soda drinkers often suffer from heart attacks 29.What do we know about Proposition E? A.San Francisco citizens accepted it. B.It was passed successfully in Berkeley. C.It aimed to reduce the sales of sugary drinks. D.It was meant to raise money for poor children. 7-3 30.According to the text,the tax in Mexico A.helped prevent people buying sugary drinks B.greatly reduced the production of soda drinks C.received a warm welcome from the local citizens D.forced many soda production companies to close down 31.Those who were against the tax worried that it might A.not be carried out smoothly B.affect their rights and interests C.fail to achieve the expected goal D.do no good to society or the economy D For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue,N.Y.,today is speech day,and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn.The 8-year-old is the joker of the class.With shining dark eyes,he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking. But he's nervous."I'm here to tell you today why you should...should..."Chris trips on the "-ld",a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.His teacher, Thomas Whaley,is next to him,whispering support."..Vote for...me..."Except for some stumbles,Chris is doing amazingly well.When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion,Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him. A son of immigrants,Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls()how at the beginning of the year,when called upon to read,Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom. Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience.What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes."It takes a lot for any student,"Whaley explains,"especially for a student who is learning English as their new language,to feel confident enough to say,'I don't know,but I want to know.' Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart.Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public.He wants these kids to learn to boast()about themselves. "Boasting about yourself,and your best qualities,"Whaley says,"is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident." 32.What made Chris nervous? A.Telling a story. B.Making a speech. C.Taking a test. D.Answering a question. 33.What does the underlined word "stumbles"in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Improper pauses. B.Bad manners. C.Spelling mistakes. D.Silly jokes. 34.We can infer that the purpose of Whaley's project is to A.help students see their own strengths B.assess students'public speaking skills C.prepare students for their future jobs D.inspire students'love for politics 35.Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher? A.Humorous. B.Ambitious. C.Caring. D.Demanding. 7-4 第二节阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Find Meaningful Work Young people today want to do work with purpose. 36 Practice intentional experimentation.

During her 10th year,she was eager for a career change.She realized many organizations could use her particular skills.She noticed an opening in Charity:Water's director of product,and used her new network to get connected to the leadership team and eventually land the position.
