21、Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
【1】According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A.Those who often do sports
B.Those who often walk to school
C.Those who often watch television
D.Those who often have meals at home
【2】The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because ________.
A.their parents often cook meals for them
B.they are too busy to go out and play
C.they can't choose what to eat
D.there are too many fast food shops around
【3】What does the underlined word "steering" in the last sentence most probably means?
A.moving
B.forcing.
C.driving
D.guiding.
【4】The main purpose of the text is to ________.
A.tell a story
B.provide facts
C.give advice
D.compare opinions
22、You may not get enough physical activity throughout the day, especially since sitting still is required or encouraged in many jobs, at school, and in social situations. But there’s something you should know. 【1】. Read to learn whether you might be classified as inactive or sedentary (久坐的).
What counts as being physically inactive?
While there is no strict definition of what can be considered a sedentary lifestyle, researchers have a few different measures to assess what a sedentary lifestyle is. One measure is the time an individual spends seated during waking hours. 【2】. Some other researchers label people inactive or sedentary if they take fewer than 5, 000 steps per day.
Is physical inactivity dangerous?
【3】 It can also affect the way the body processes fats and sugars in the diet and lead to some weight gain if you aren’t burning enough calories. Over the long term, sedentary lifestyles increase the risk of death from heart discase and cancer.
How can you prevent being inactive?
Health authorities recommend exercise at a medium level for either 30 minutes a day for five days a week or a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes per week. 【4】. It can work to break up sitting time and add steps hourly throughout the day. A pedometer or fitness band can show you whether you are getting enough steps. Many people aim to take 10. 000 steps per day, which indicates that you have met your daily physical activity goal. 【5】, but the value of being more physically active is worth it for its many benefits.
A.Walking is an easy activity to add to your day
B.There are many options for exercise
C.Being physically inactive or sedentary can increase health risks
D.In the short term, being inactive can increase depression or anxiety
E.Fixing a sedentary lifestyle takes some conscious effort at first
F.Spending four to six waking hours sitting or lying down is considered sedentary
G. Simply walking more or doing household chores positively impacts health
23、Feeling blue about world ? “Cheer up.” Says science writer Matt Ridley.”The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and got nature.”
Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—tactical .because he’s carefully weighed the evidence optimistic because that offence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good .And this is what he’s set out to prone from unique point of view in his most recent book. The Rant anal Opting .He views mankind as grand enterprise that .on the whole has done little but progress for 100.000 years. He backed his finding with hard gathered though years of research.
Here’s how he explains his views.
1)Shopping fuels invention
It is reported that there are more than ten billion different producers for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty .our own generation has access to more nutritious food ,more convenient transport ,bigger houses, better ears and of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us .This will continue as long as we there things to make other things. This more we specialize and exchange, the better off we’ll be.
2) Brilliant advances
One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ener before is that the four most basic human needs -food, clothing, fuel and shelter- have grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes’ work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it’s half second.
3) Let’s not kill ourselves for climate change
Mitigating(减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welface as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fassil-fuel(化石燃料) electrieity is forhidden by well meaming members of green polucal movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that mes in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon canses realparn, we may well find that we have stopped a nose bleed by putting a tournquet(止血带) around our necks.
【1】What is the theme of Ridley’s most recent book?
A.Weakness of human nature.
B.Concern about climate change.
C.Importance of practical thinking.
D.Optimism about human progress.
【2】How does Ridley look at shopping?
A.It encourages the creation of things.
B.It results in shortage of goods.
C.It demands more fossil fuels.
D.It causes a poverry problem.
【3】The candle and lamp example is used to show that .
A.oil lamps give off more light than candles
B.shortening working time brings about a happier life.
C.advanced technology helps to produce better candles.
D.increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods.
【4】What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A.Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.
B.Overreaction to cliamate change may be dangerous.
C.People’s health is closely related to climate change.
D.Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.
24、Urban sprawl (无序扩张) means a pattern of poorly-planned development stretching away from an urban center. This trend of outward growth became common in the United States after World War II when people started leaving heavily-populated cities for new suburbs.
The rise of the suburbs led to small communities connected by roads and dependent on cars. This trend generally comes with unfavorable environmental and social impacts, including traffic jams, air pollution, loss of forest and agricultural land and communities that are more segregated (隔离的) by race and class.
As suburban neighborhoods multiplied, public transportation failed to keep up. Instead, transportation in the suburbs centered around road construction for the use of cars rather than connecting neighborhoods with bus and rail systems or providing alternative options like cycling lanes and pedestrian paths.
Not everyone had an equal shot at the American suburban dream. Suburban communities were generally whiter and wealthier, while people of color were often stuck in urban centers.
As more land is taken up by housing, roads, and shopping centers, critical wildlife habitat is destroyed. This change can lead to a decrease in biodiversity. In addition, loss of open space contributes to declining air and water quality.
In the 1950s people became aware of negative impacts of urban sprawl. Over time, citizens and local governments sought to address those concerns. In the 1970s. Portland, Oregon became one of the first cities to apply smart growth strategies. The city concentrated on population growth in the urban center rather than expanding suburbs. Today, it reflects many smart growth principles; diverse housing options, plentiful greenspace, mixed-use developments, preservation of ecologically important areas, and multiple transportation options.
Today, cities around the world are adopting these principles to deal with pollution and climate change, conserve open space, energy and other natural resources, and generally improve the well-being of citizens.
【1】What does urban sprawl lead to?
A.Economic growth.
B.Rise of population in the suburbs.
C.Environmental improvements.
D.Better connected neighborhoods.
【2】What transportation do the suburban neighborhoods communities mainly depend on?
A.Buses.
B.Cars.
C.Rail systems.
D.Bicycles.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards urban sprawl?
A.Supportive.
B.Skeptical.
C.Indifferent.
D.Disapproving.
【4】Why is Portland mentioned in Paragraph 6?
A.To explain one of the smart growth principles.
B.To show the importance of preserving natural resources.
C.To give an example of how people’s concerns are addressed.
D.To provide evidence of negative impacts of losing biodiversity.

26、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。
续写的词数应为150左右。
The whole class burst out laughing as Mohi rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama top underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher's hand froze in the middle of writing a formula on the blackboard.
Mohi mumbled,‘Sorry, teacher,’ and scuttled (快步疾走) to his seat. Mr. Tan glared at the rest of the students. The chuckles quickly faded away. Mohi's classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi' slate arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals.
Mohi lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would yell his name in unison (一起) just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Hamed, who sat next to Mohi, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi's house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Mohi must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Hamed let himself in. He called Mohi's name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Hamed peered in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Mohi was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly. He played flawlessly (完美无瑕地), so much so that it sounded like a recording. Hamed left quietly.
