ACan you resist cream caes? I miss my sugar! I’ve decided to lose weight and I had to give up caes. It’s difficult because I have a sweet tooth and I love cream caes.Not having treats can be good for your health. I’ve heard that the Burts, a family of five in South East England，lived sugar free for a whole year after they found out their daughter had diabetes (糖尿病).It wasn’t easy. To avoid temptation, I don’t go to any baeries, but this family actually owns one, which maes up to 3 ,000 caes a wee.They were in shoc when the doctor said that their 16-year-old Lucy had to chec her blood sugar levels regularly and tae insulin (胰岛素). He advised her to eat a normal,balanced diet,but the Burts went further and got rid of sugar altogether.And how does it feel to live without sugar for a while? Jason Burt said that for a month they felt wea. But later on it all changed. He says he feels “more awae” and full of energy.And what about the Burt family business? It had to eep using half a ton of sugar a wee and any coo worth his salt nows that you have to taste a recipe to now if it’s right. No problem there,says Jason Burt’s wife, Clare. She points out that she’s got lots of people offering to taste the caes for them. The family is also thining about selling more delicious products.I wonder what maes us have a strong desire for sweet food. Anyway, I’ve decided to forget about the sweet taste of sugar for a while.

Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live in,parents will always mae sure their children have the best of everything. One of the big-gest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of diffi-culties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school,public school or home schooling.Fortunately for parents，there are a variety of different strategies that they can tae in order to in-crease their child’s overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychol-ogy at the University of California at Davis, a child’s brain will actually reach 90% of its full sie by the time they start indergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an in-strument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a child’s mental as well as physical health. Some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. They state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would wor perfectly fine for a child’s brain development.The average child will learn how to read between indergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate bacground of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get,the easier the process will be.25．From the first paragraph, we can infer that .A．p arents find it hard to satisfy their ids’ various demandsB．parents meet a new challenge when raising their idsC．parents have more choices in offering education to their idsD．parents get actively involved in the process of their ids’ growth26．What suggestion may the researchers in the passage mae?A．To train ids as early as possible.B．To try as many means as possible.C．To help ids develop as fully as possible.D．To use as many available resources as possible.27．What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?A．The proper time to teach children to learn languages.B．The effective ways to help develop children’s brains.C．The vital factors to have a great effect on children’s health.D．The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.28．We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with.A．inspiration B．introduction C．suggestion DvpromotionCOne of the greatest gifts one generation can give to other generations is the wisdom it has gained from eperience.

In 1995,historian Frances Wood argued in her boo Did Marco Polo Go to China ? that the famous eplorer from Venice never made it to pass the Blac Sea. She noted that his travel journal left out the Great Wall of China,chopstics and tea drining among other details.Furthermore, Chinese documen ts from Polo’s day made no mention of the eplorer and his men. Last year, a team of Italian researchers became the latest to challenge Polo’s accounts. They said that evidence didn’t support his description of ublai han’s Japanese invasions (侵略）.Now, howe ver, research by Hans Ulrich Vogel of Germany’s Tubingen University might help prove Marco Polo was true. In a new boo Marco Polo Was in China，the professor of Chinese history tries to prove that Marco Polo spoe the truth. He suggests, for eample, that Polo didn’t include the Great Wall in his boo because it only achieved its great importance in the Ming Dynasty several hun-dred years later. Vogel further eplains that Chinese records from the 13th and 14th centuries avoided setting down visits from Westerners.Historians before him have touched on these issues. But Vogel also relies on another evidencethe eplorer’s very detailed descriptions of currency and salt production in the Yuan Dynasty. Accord-ing to Vogel, Polo documented these aspects of Mongol Chinese culture in greater detail than any oth-er of his time. This is a hint that Polo relied on his own powers of observation.Will we ever now whether Marco Polo traveled to China? Perhaps not, but the consequences of his real or fictional journey are still felt across the globe. One reader of The travels of Marco Polo was Christopher Columbus,who stepped upon the New World while following his idol’s footsteps. 33．France Wood doubted Marco Polo’s travel’s to China because his description.A．missed some important culture of China B．covered so much about traders’ lifeC．was full of obvious mistaes D．seemed less detailed34．Vogel’s trust on Marco Polo is based on the argument that.a．The Great Wall didn’ t gain its importance thenb．Records in the Yuan Dynasty mentioned Poloc．Polo mentioned the currency and salts．Polo’s other wors are believablee.Polo recorded what he saw in great detailA．a, b, d B．a, c, d C．a, e D．b，c35．Which of the following shows the structure of the tet?A B C D第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
