26、 Are you getting enough protein(蛋白质)? The question provides its own answer: If you are worrying about the amount of protein in your diet, then you are almost certainly eating more than enough.
You merely need to visit a western supermarket today to see that many people regard protein as some kind of excellent medicine — one food companies are profitably adding to anything they can. “When the Box says ‘Protein’, Shoppers say ‘I’ll take it’” was the headline of a 2013 article in The Wall Street Journal.
The intensity of our protein obsession can only be understood as part of a wider series of diet battles that go back half a century. If we now thirst for protein as if it were water, it may be because the other two macronutrients — fats and carbohydrates — have each in turn been made to seem poisonous (有毒的) in the public mind.
In the current nutrition wars, protein has emerged as the last macronutrient left standing. David L. Katz, an American doctor and public health scholar who is the director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center said, “First they told us to cut fat. But instead of whole grains and lentils, we ate low-fat junk food.” Then food marketers heard the message about cutting carbohydrates and sold us protein-enriched junk foods instead.
For decades now, there has been a tendency to think about what we eat and drink in terms of nutrients, rather than read whole ingredients in all their complexity. A combination of diet fads and clever marketing has got us here. It doesn’t matter whether we fixate on “low fat” or “low carbohydrates” or “high protein” — we are making the same old mistakes about nutrition in a new form.
【1】How does the author begin the article?
A.By raising a question.
B.By giving an assumption.
C.By describing a phenomenon.
D.By illustrating a typical case.
【2】How many kinds of macronutrients does food provide us with according to paragraph 3?
A.Two B.Three
C.Four D.Five
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards protein according to the text?
A.Cold. B.Crazy.
C.Sensible. D.Critical.
27、When I was a boy, our extended, immigrant family would sometimes gather at my aunt’s tiny house over the summer. Relatives from all over the country would come in to visit. The adults would crowd together in the living room to talk and catch up on each other' s lives. And the kids would be sent out into the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us.
Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up playing an old game. I remember one of those moments especially. As I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, I got caught first and couldn't catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too fast for me, and I grew more and more frustrated. I finally fell my face first into the dirt. I got up with tears forming in my eyes. Then I saw one of my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I easily caught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, and said, I'm it! You d better run! Iran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others.
Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and returned me to joy. It didn't matter that we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she loves me.
In her wonderful book: Box of Butterflies, Roma Downey writes, "We are all one, we all belong to each other, and we are one big. beautiful family." Perhaps it is time that we all started to treat each other that way. Perhaps it is time that we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter, and our joy with everyone without fear. Perhaps it is time to finally and forever bring this world together in one big family reunion.
【1】When the adults were chatting, the kids would__________.

C.Susan gave her a chance

A.The author is grateful for hat Susan did to her.
B.The author cant meet Susan any more.
C.The author urges others to love their family.
D.The author believes the world will become a big family
【4】What could be the best title of the passage?
A.A memory of my childhood.
B.Sharing of goodness unites us.
C.Kindness brightens our life.
D.A good deed is invaluable.
28、A large male emperor penguin waddles (蹒跚行走) slowly across the ice to the water. He dives deep into the cold salt water and then springs back onto the ice. Nearby a female penguin sleeps as her baby rests on the top of her feet. The penguins are enjoying another beautiful day of sunshine and freezing temperatures in the Penguin Encounter, a special home built for them in sunny California.
The Penguin Encounter is located at SeaWorld in San Diego. It was built to help study the emperor penguin, the largest of all penguins. The emperor penguins' natural home is in the Antarctic, near the South Pole. Increases in Earth's temperatures could cause large amounts of ice to break up. Scientists feared that this drastic (剧烈的) change in the environment could destroy the emperor penguins' nesting areas. This would cause the number of emperor penguins to greatly decrease. A new home for them seemed to be the perfect solution.
Scientists wanted to make the Penguin Encounter a comfortable home for the black-and-white feathered birds. A team of scientists was sent to the Antarctic to learn more about the emperor penguins. Scientist Frank Todd led the team. Todd is an expert on penguins. He has spent more than 25 years studying them.
Getting close to the emperor penguins in the Antarctic wasn't difficult for the group of scientists. Sometimes they would waddle close to Todd and his team. The scientists concluded that this behavior could be the result of poor eyesight. Penguins are nearsighted, which allows them to see better in the water than on land. Another possible reason for their behavior was that they had little to fear on the ice. Their enemies, such as leopard seals and killer whales, hunt mainly in the water.
Todd and his team spent many months studying the diet and social habits of the emperor penguins. It was easy to get close to the penguins, but it wasn't easy to study them.
In the Antarctic, the temperature rarely rises above zero degree, which is perfect for penguins, but not for scientists. Once Todd and his team had finally gathered enough information, they made plans for a new home in California for a number of emperor penguins. Scientists hoped to study the birds in conditions that were more scientist-friendly. When the "new Antarctic" was completed, Todd and his team brought several hundred emperor penguins to California from the Antarctic.
【1】Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in the first paragraph?
A.Moves.
B.Jumps.
C.Holds.
D.Flies.
【2】Why did scientists need to study penguins in the Antarctic before building the Penguin Encounter?
A.They were afraid that the emperor penguins’ homes would be destroyed.
B.They wanted the Penguin Encounter just to be like the emperor penguins' natural home.
C.They wanted to see how the emperor penguins reacted to the rising temperatures.
D.They knew it would take long to gather enough emperor penguins for the Penguin Encounter.
【3】Why do emperor penguins have little to fear on the ice?
A.It is easy to see their enemies on the white ice.
B.Their enemies usually hunt in the water.
C.They can easily escape on the smooth ice.
D.It is too cold for other animals to survive on the ice.
【4】The passage mainly emphasizes ________.
A.scientists working as a team in the Antarctic
B.a science team finding a way to stop global warming
C.how to protect the emperor penguins at SeaWorld
D.scientists building a special home to learn more about the emperor penguins
29、【1】
Chen Chen is 8 years old. For the Spring Festival this year he was given an iPad as a present and never goes anywhere without it. 【2】 This is serious for such a young child.
Many children in China are suffering the same problem: 【3】 Xinhua New Agency went so far as to call the iPad the “No.1 killer of children’s eyesight.”
“There are about 30 shortsighted children coming every day,” said Hu Dali, a doctor at Guiyang Aier Eye Hospital. “Half of those children are suffering from reduced vision because they have played with mobile phones and iPads for too long.”
Experts say children’s version is not yet fully developed and their eyes get tired more easily. 【4】
The iPad uses a very bright LED backlight. A user’s pupils (瞳孔) have to keep getting used to the new light levels. If children stare at an iPad screen for a long time, their eyes do not have time to rest. 【5】
Experts suggest that users should hold their iPad between 40—60 centimeters away from them. The brightness of the screen should be made comfortable for children. Parents should also stop their children from using an iPad for more than one hour every day.
A.IPad use is damaging their eyesight
B.A month later his eyesight has reduced to 300 degrees
C.Children go eye bad due to the iPad

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The Floating School
Life on the islands can feel a bit isolated due to a lack of electricity and internet connectivity.
Although some of the islands have primary schools, most young people must travel to the larger islands or to the mainland to attend high school. Schools on the islands follow the 【1】 curriculum (课程). They don't teach subjects such as maritime skills, swimming or local fishing traditions, and so the curriculum isn't always 【2】 with students' everyday life.
So, we 【3】 the Floating School after winning funding through a US State Department grant competition called Seeds for the Future. Before we started the school, we spoke with young people, community leaders and teachers on the islands to find out the topics young people are most interested in. We also learned about the various 【4】 of students and young people who don't go to school. Thus, we 【5】 our own non-formal educational programme that fits with the context of life on the islands. For example, those working in fishing have responsibility 【6】 the marine life, so we teach environmental protection and discourage destructive fishing practices.
The Floating School is a wooden boat that can 【7】 up to twenty people and it goes to the students, not the other way around -- we use it to transport educational materials, tools, and teachers to young people living on the islands. Our teachers are local young 【8】— so far we have had journalists, photographers, computer engineers and musicians — and students who want to 【9】 their skills.
At first, many of the young people thought the Floating School would be the same as their schools on the islands. They had thought of the teachers to be 【10】. But our students learn through art, media and literature. They don't have to wear uniforms or shoes, and the teachers treat the students as equals, without judging them. This means our students can be themselves.
32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My mom only had one eye. She ran a small shop at a market and collected old clothes and some other things to sell for the money we needed. Once during elementary school, it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed (尴尬) and wondered how could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school, my schoolmates asked me, “Your mom only has one eye?!” and laughed at me.
I was so angry with my mom and wished that she would just disappear from this world. So I said to my mom, “Why don’t you have the other eye?! You’re only going to make me a laughingstock (笑柄)!” My mom did not reply. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, I felt so good to have said what I wanted to say. Maybe it was because my mom hadn’t punished me, I didn’t think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.
For the words I had said to her earlier, there was something hurting at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my one-eyed mom and our poor life. I told myself that I would become successful in the near future, so I studied very hard. Later I got accepted by the Scoul University, I left my mother and came to Seoul to study. Then I got married there.
I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I am living happily as a successful man. I enjoy the life in Seoul because it’s a place that doesn’t remind me of my mom and my past. This kind of happiness was getting bigger and bigger, until one afternoon someone knocked at my door.
