26、The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.

David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.

The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk of non-infectious diseases like diabetes (糖尿病)and heart disease.

Unfortunately, when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as it began to industrialize over a 20-year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Nigeria and so on.

And, a diet bad for human beings is also bad for the environment. As the world’s population grows, more forests and tropical areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.

Mr. Tillman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, “a dilemma”, a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.

【1】David Tillman believes that .

A．diet, the environment and human health are closely connected

B．the Western diet is the only choice as nations industrialized

C．people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease

D．traditional diet is more balanced than the Western diet

【2】According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from .

A．transportation

B．developing countries

C．agriculture

D．developed countries

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases.

B．Overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases.

C．The examined information comes from developing countries.

D．Industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet.

【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．Call on us to protect the environment.

B．Warn us of the danger of the Western diet.

C．Remind us of the importance of health.

D．Advise us to have a balanced diet.

27、Summer vocation is approaching, and here is a list of films recommended by Nicholas Barber, from BBC News.

Don’t Look Up

People are often slow to react to a disaster, whether it’s a climate emergency or a global pandemic (流行病)—and it was this tendency that inspired Adam McKay to make his new film, Don’t Look Up. Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio play two astronomers who have assumed that a “planet killer” comet is going to crash into the Earth, killing everyone. But the US president is just one of the many people who ignore the facts. It’s the idea of a disaster movie in which people don’t necessarily believe that the disaster is coming.

West Side Story

The original 1961 film of West Side Story, directed by Robert Wise, is honored as one of the finest Hollywood musicals ever made. A New York-set movie version of Romeo and Juliet, it was the biggest box-office hit of the year, and went on to win 10 Oscars, including Best Picture.

Flee

In this heart-breaking Danish documentary, Jonas Poher Rasmussen interviews his friend Amin about his painful experiences as an Afghan refugee. Amin remembers his years as a child in Kabul (the capital of Afghan), his family’s flight from the Taliban, his deeply unhappy life in Moscow... It’s hard to imagine a more important film, but Flee doesn’t just do the job as a documentary.

Other recommended films include: The Matrix Resurrections, Being the Ricardos, Red Rocket, The Lost Daughter, The Tragedy of Macbeth, Nightmare Alley, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Just choose one or several to enjoy with your friends!

【1】What does the underlined phrase “this tendency” refer to?

A．People’s slow reaction.

B．A disaster.

C．A climate emergency.

D．A global pandemic.

【2】What does Don’t Look Up serve as?

A．A comment.

B．A warning.

C．An encouragement.

D．A challenge.

【3】What would you choose if you are interested in music?

A．Don’t Look Up.

B．West Side Story.

C．Flee.

D．The Matrix Resurrections.

28、   When my best friend and I were teenagers, our favorite place to hang out was the Hallmark store. If we had money, we would choose a perfect card for each other and then share tears or smiles depending on what emotion the words expressed. In those coming years we developed a friendship built on sincere feelings and we often found comfort in the words of a Hallmark card. I think it is perhaps since those years that I have become a greeting card collector.

The other day, while cleaning out the storage in my home, I came across the bag where I have kept greeting cards. They are the lasting messages that speak the meanings of my life. I pulled out a foolish-looking card. It has a stick drawing on the front that seems to be my portrait(肖像画), I laughed as I realized this is exactly how my oldest daughter saw her mum. Opening it up I saw a hand-drawn heart with eyes and a big smile. On the other side are some words “You are the best mum in the world!” This may be one card that Hallmark cards cannot compete with for it is a treasure more precious than gold. I can’t go back to where I’ve been but, from time to time, I can be taken into a welcomed memory trip.

These are the Hallmark moments of our lives. Words from once upon a time inspire us to appreciate the people in our lives who mean so much. When we sometimes have doubts, or when the world treats us unfairly, the encouraging words are there in black and white, sometimes drawn in a homemade stick drawing with a heart-shaped smiling face standing out from the rest.

Life is a Hallmark card when you care enough to send the very best.

【1】What influence does the Hallmark card have on the author?

A.Finding her real hobby.

B.Becoming a greeting card donor.

C.Getting real friendship and comfort.

D.Learning to share the experience of making cards.

【2】The author uses “a welcomed memory trip” in paragraph 2 to show that_______.

A.she often remembers her past trip

B.those cards are very meaningful for her

C.her daughter’s words moved her deeply

D.drawing herself on the cards is very meaningful

【3】Why does the author think the words on the cards mean a lot?

A.Because they make her full of thanks.

B.Because they are written in different colors.

C.Because they can help her overcome doubts.

D.Because they always inform her of the card collector.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.Words on the cards B.Collecting greeting cards is a hobby.

C.Life is a Hallmark card D.Memory in the childhood

29、Experts say over half of the world’s seven thousand languages are in danger of disappearing. Every two weeks one language disappears.

Sometimes a language disappears immediately when the last person speaking it dies. Or, a local language might disappear more slowly. This happens when an official language is used more often and children stop learning the local language of their parents. Official languages often represent a form of control over a group of people.

Throughout history, the language spoken by a powerful group spreads across a civilization. The more powerful culture rarely respects the language and culture of smaller groups. Smaller cultures lose their local language as the language of the culture in power has a stronger influence.

Experts say protecting languages is very important for many reasons. Languages contain the histories, ideas and knowledge of a culture. Languages also contain valuable information about local medicines, plants and animals.

Many endangered languages are spoken by native cultures in close contact with the natural world. Their ancient languages contain a great deal of information about environmental systems and species of plants and animals that are unknown to scientists. As the last speakers of a language die off, the valuable information carried within a language also disappears. Language is, in many ways, a window to the mind and the world.

Any hope for protecting languages can be found in children and their willingness to learn. It is these young people who can keep this form of culture alive for future generations.

【1】Which of the following is true?

A．There have existed 7,000 languages in history.

B．No one can prevent languages from disappearing.

C．There will not be any local languages left some day.

D．Half of the world’s languages will possibly disappear.

【2】Language is a window to the mind and the world because ________.

A．it represents the working of the human minds

B．local languages are more closely related to culture

C．ancient languages can reveal ancient people’s thoughts

D．it contains information about both culture and nature

【3】According to the passage, a language will be better protected when ________.

A．children are interested in learning it

B．people are forced to speak it

C．it is linked to a powerful culture

D．it keeps pace with the times

【4】The passage mainly discusses ________.

A．local languages

B．language protection

C．the power of language

D．language and culture

A Peking Opera Legend That Redefined Female Roles

When it comes to Peking Opera, a few key things come to mind for most Chinese: its quintessential connection to the history and traditions of China; the richness of its dazzling costumes with their 【1】 colors and patterns; and the bold work of its facial make-up. Some may even be able to hum a few lines or talk about their favorite artists, but for the vast majority of people, traditional Chinese opera remains a classic art form that is far 【2】 from everyday life.

However, only a century ago, Peking Opera was no less 【3】 to the regular populace than is today’s pop music. The performers were admired by a large number of fans who were willing to spend a fortune on a ticket to their performances. Throughout the history of Peking Opera, there have 【4】 many renowned masters of the form. But MeiLanfang (1894 - 1961) was arguable the most outstanding figure of this craft, who was famous for his portrayal of the female lead roles (dan)

【5】 as one of the “four famed dan,” Mei was so much more than even this. He brought forth a number of new ideas to several aspects of Peking Opera: make-up (he was the first to war lipstick), music (his productions first 【6】 the erhu in shows), choreography(编舞艺术)(his iconic sword dance in Farewell My Concubine《霸王别姬》) and, most importantly characterization.

At a time when actual women were banned from performing, Mei 【7】 the dan to starring roles. He combined elements of the qingyi (elegant lady), huadan (young woman) and daomadan (female warrior) into a new huashan character that excelled in singing, dancing and martial arts. The techniques he introduced led to the development of the “Mei School”, which was considered one of the three major dramatic performing art systems in the world at the time.

“My father broke the 【8】 between almost all the different types of female role,” Mei Baojiu, the youngest child of Mei Lanfang who followed his father into dan acting, was quoted as saying.

Thanks to Mei’s 【9】 innovations, even those who know little about traditional Chinese opera can easily see the beauty of the art form the moment performers take the stage. “His make-up, the overlay of carmines(胭脂红) and darker tones, is the most beautiful I have ever seen in a theater,” wrote U.S. playwright Stark Young after watching Mei Lanfang’s performance in New York in 1930.

But the true beauty of Peking Opera is not solely about visual aesthetics. “For veteran artists, even their performances without make-up can be just as 【10】 as full-on stage performances,” Mei wrote in his 1958 memoir, Forty Years of Life on the stage. Just as Peking Opera has become an icon of Chinese culture, Mei has come to be acknowledge on the grand stage of the world as its quintessential performer.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

The “Pygmalion effect”(皮格马利翁效应) is a finding that people will act or behave in the way that others expect them to. The effect has both good and bad influences ----a person expected by others to succeed will, but the opposite is also usually true. Most of the time, these expectations are not openly discussed. They are shown through things like word choice or body language. The effect is most commonly discussed in terms of education and the workplace.

The Pygmalion effect comes from a Greek fairy tale. Pygmalion was a king and sculptor(雕刻家) who created and fell in love with a statue(雕塑) of his dream woman. He begged the goddess Venus to give life to his creation, and she agreed. Pygmalion married the woman and they had a perfect life together. He had expected the statue to be perfect in every way, and she satisfied all his expectations.

George Bernard Shaw was an Irish who wrote plays. He wrote a play Pygmalion, which served as the inspiration(灵感） for My Fair Lady. In these plays, a professor changes a low-class woman into a lady primarily by believing in her and expecting the best of her.

The Pygmalion effect has been studied in education. Teachers who are given information that certain students are more likely to stand out than other students often find that those do perform better----even if they are not really advantaged. Even teachers who try not to show their expectations for certain students often find that those expectations have influential power.

The Pygmalion effect also has an important role in the working world. Leaders in a company can often influence the work and success of staff by expecting them to either rise or fall. The same as in school, these expectations never have to be shown clearly in order to take root.
