It is reported that more than 8 milliontons of plastic end up in our ocean every year, and nearly half of the plastic we produce is single-use only.This shoe brand, however, is riding the wave of change and is on a mission to help clean up our waters and rid the sea of plastic bottles that can take up to 400 years to break down. Vivobarefoot’s newest footwear uses recycled plastic materials and has created an education program that spreads awareness about how harmful plastic is for sea life.Every pair of shoes is made up of 17 plastic water bottles taken from the ocean and turned into a sustainable, comfortable pair of shoes, which are also healthy for your feet. And while not everyone can take part in ocean cleanups, choosing little ways we can to give back to our planet goes a long way.Vivobarefoot’s new products include a variety of high-performance styles such as casual sneakers, running shoes, and hiking boots. The brand hopes that its latest initiative (首创精神) will help lessen the indifference to pollution and how harmful it is for all living beings.In the future, Vivobarefoot hopes to increase their production of shoes created from sustainable materials, and thankfully, they are now one of many brands that aim to increase environmentalism and educate communities on how global warming affects everyone.This year, they’ll add more recyclable and traceable materials into more than half of their production line, and they have plenty of creative developments in the works as well.The shoes also have a health benefit. Based on the concept that wider, minimally designed shoes enable our foot to function at maximum potential, wearers also experience better balance and sensory input.24.How does the author make his point convincing?A.By making comparisons.B. By telling a story.C.By giving examples.D. By listing figures.25.What is Vivobarefoot doing to help with the marine creatures?A.Donating money to buy food for them.B.Producing more shoes from sustainable materials.C.Keeping the oceans free from plastic bottles.D.Raising public awareness of recycling and reuse.26.What is probably Vivobarefoot’s operation philosophy?A. Environmentally-friendlyB. Service-centreredC. Money-savingD. Customer-focused27.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.Vivobarefoot’s new products haven’t been released.B.Vivobarefoot is the most popular shoe brand in the world.C.Vivobarefoot is the first company to find the new function of waste materials.D.Vivobarefoot cares about not only its business but also public services.CA sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle has long been linked to poor health, and plenty of evidence suggests it may also have other effects. Previous research found associations between a lack of exercise and decline in character traits (特性), such as sense of duty, measured 4 to 10 years after initial surveys. Now the largest analysisof its kind to date has used longer follow-up periods to confirm these links.A team led by psychologist Yannick Stephan reached their conclusion after combining data from two large, survey-based studies. The Wisconsin Longitudinal Study followed people who graduated from that state’s high schools in 1957. The Midlife in the United States studied people from across the country. Participants in both completed personality questionnaires when they first participated in the study in the 1990s and answered questions about their exercise habits and health. Nearly 20 years later a total of about 9000 people took the same surveys again.Stephan and his team found that the subjects who reported being less active had greater reductions on average in sense of duty, openness and agreeableness even after accounting for differences in baseline personality and health. No link was found with the last trait---moodiness. Physical activity predicted personality change better than disease burden did, for example.“Personality is, in part, what we repeatedly do and changes in habits can strengthen changes in personality,”says Markus Jokela, who has not involved in the new study.Correlations do not prove causation(必然因果), however. Additional factors, such as genetics or earlier life events, might be affecting both exercise levels and personality. The findings also need to be doubled in samples from different cultures and in studies using objective measures of an active lifestyle.Nevertheless, the new analysis stresses the idea that personality is malleable throughout life. It can be easily influenced by our lifestyle. It also agrees with studies suggesting personality is linked to health. “These findings also further stress the need for physical activity promotion in midlife and older age,” Stephan says.28. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that______.A. Stephan’s study started in 1957.B. Stephan’s conclusion is based on previous studies.C. participants in both studies came from all over the country.D. both studies include questionnaires on education backgrounds.29. What’s the finding of Stephan’s team?A. personality may predict physical activities of a person.B. personality and health are closely related to each other.C. a lack of exercise possibly affects people’s personality.D. doing exercise plays an important role in our character.30. What does the underlined word “malleable” mean?A. changeableB. influentialC. complexD. misleading31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the findings of the study?A. supportiveB. suspiciousC. objectiveD. criticalDFabien Cousteau was born with deep love for the ocean. His grandfather and his father were ocean explorers and documentary filmmakers. Fabien spent his early years on his grandfather' s ships. Today, Fabien follows in his family' s footsteps to protect the planet' s endangered ocean life. With his vast knowledge and experience, he tries to strike a balance between environmental problems and market economies.Fabien is well known for his study of sharks. During 2000-2002, he created a TVspecial called Attack of the Mystery Shark based on the shark attacks that occurred along the New Jersey shoreline in the summer of 1916. Then in 2003-2006, with the help of a large crew, Fabien created a shark submarine (潜艇) that enabled him to put himself inside the shark world, providing people with a rare view of the mysterious and often misunderstood creatures.For the next four years (2006-2010), Fabien was part of a series called, Ocean Adventures, which offered a rare look into some of the most fantastic ocean species (物种) and environments.In 2010, Fabien started Plant A Fish, a nonprofit project for children to help restore local water ecosystems by replanting key ocean species. Save the world, one fish at a time. The project is still in progress now and its final goal is to plant 1 billion “fish” worldwide.From June 1 to July 2, 2014, Fabien and his team spent 31 days underwater to research how climate change and pollution are affecting the oceans. Fabien' s Mission 31 broke new ground by going deeper, longer and further, exposing (显露) the world to the adventure and the mystique (神秘) of what lies beneath.Fabien is currently working on a documentary film about the adventures of Mission 31, as well as building an Ocean Learning Center to provide children around the world with the opportunity to learn about oceans and engage with ocean explorers directly through social media.32.What is Not Fabien’s job?A. Ocean explorer.B. Documentary filmmaker.C. Environmentalist.D. Media manager.33. How is Paragraph 2 developed?A. By providing facts.B. By offering analyses.C. By making comparisons.D. By drawing conclusions.34. We can learn from the text that ________.A. Fabien's “Plant A Fish” project has already achieved its final goalB. Fabien's Mission 31 broke the records of former ocean explorationsC. Fabien's TV special about sharks is based on his childhood experiencesD. It took Fabien four years to produce Ocean Adventures all on his own35. In which part of a website can we read the text?A. Modern Technology.B. Space Exploration.C. Outstanding Figures.D. Fantastic Wildlife.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满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。

But is "boredom" senseless? My friend Renee, who has driven cross-country with her three kids eight times, calls boredom the mother of creativity. She's not the only one who sees virtue in blank time. In a recently published paper, researchers at East Anglia University in England concluded that the trancelike (发呆的) state helps recharge the mind and is “central to learning and creativity". I wasn't trying to make my kids smarter. Neither do I dislike high-tech. But I understand too well the power of mini screens to transform our kids into zombies (木讷的人).On Day 1, our 7-year-old son announced “Texas is so boring!The next day, struggling against his seat belt, he yelled he couldn? t take much more of this. His 5-year-old sister was better at the long hours playing make-believe with the stuffed animals. On Day 3 he began to count mountains and see pandas and dolphins in distant clouds in the Texas sky. I often joined the kids in the back, where we did thumb-and-toe wrestle. With well-known mountains ahead, my husband told the children the past legends of them. u Arizona is not as boring as Texas," our son declared.I hope the trip gave kids some lazy, unstructured time to learn something about valuing the trip instead of looking for the fastest way to burn it up. I don't always make the right call as a parent but I know that in banning the small screen we made the right choice this time.24.Why did the author choose a high-tech free journey?A.Her friends are highly against it.B.She disliked advanced technology.C.She feared the passive influence of mini-screens.D.The researchers proved the harm of modern technology.25.What happened during the cross-country drive?A.Their son got worse at boredom.B.Her kids had a tough time riding in the vehicle.C.Their son relieved himself by watching animals outside.D.The time spent without screens strengthened the family bond.26.The underlined part "the fastest way" in the last paragraph refers to .A.the speediest route to finish the journeyB.the ability to observe the surroundingsC.the interest of playing games with othersD.the choice of killing time by playing digital devices27.Which is the best title for the text?A.Is Driving Long Distances Good for Children?B. A Touching Cross-country Trip of My FamilyC.What's Wrong with Boredom without High-tech?D.Creative Kids out of Parents' Reasonable ChoiceCMaybe you pop vitamins supporting brainpower, or stock up on these foods that boost brain health. But new guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology suggest there's something better you can do to keep your mind sharp.A quarter of adults aged 80 to 84 experience mild cognitive （认知的）impairment, according to AAN. To address the widespread problem, a group of neurologists and Alzheimer?s （6可尔兹海默氏症的）specialists went through existing studies to define the best ways to prevent and treat cognitive decline 一and you might be surprised by what they included and what they didn't.Surprisingly, the AAN guidelines don ' t include any medication （药物）or dietary recommendations. The authors stress that there haven?t been any high-quality, long-term studies finding foods or medication can help cognitive decline. The guidelines also say doctors can consider suggesting cognitive training to patients with memory loss but not to rely on it. So far, the report authors say the evidence is too inconclusive to say for sure if brain exercises? like memory and attention training or problem-solving for everyday issues associated with memory loss, are beneficial. Still, these morning brain exercises can't do any harm.But there was one big discovery from the new guidelines: Exercising just twice a week could improve cognitive decline. One study showed adults with mild cognitive impairment who did resistance training twice a week scored better on executive function and associative （联想的）memory tests than a group that worked on balancing, stretching, and relaxing.What's more, another study had older adults attend either biweekly health classes or sessions of aerobics? strength training, balance exercises? and multitasking training. Six months later, the ones who'd exercised regularly scored better on cognitive health and memory tests, plus had less brain shrinkage.AAN now recommends doctors tell patients with memory loss to exercise twice a week to keep their minds sharp. This is the best time to exercise if you want to improve your memory. It looks like you've got just one more reason to clear time in your schedule for a workout — even if it's only on the weekends.28.What does the underlined word “impairment" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Error.B. Decline.C. Development.D. Presence.29.ANN may be uncertain about .A. strength trainingB. resistance trainingC. exercises twice a weekD. morning brain exercise30.Which of the following may the author agree with?A.Daily exercises are beneficial to Alzheimer.B.The AAN guidelines attach importance to workout.C.Medication is of significance in the ANN guidelines.D.Stocking up on vitamins supporting brainpower means nothing.31.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Exercise.B. Entertainment.C. Science.D. Health.DClothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers （零售商）are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shoppers.But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated （调查）this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.Take shipping, for example 9 which has to go two ways if an item is rented 一- receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.She writes, “An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased froma physical store and washed and worn at home is 33. 4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's."Then there?s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services? this usually means drycleaning ,a high-impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene （氯乙烯），a carcinogenic （致癌的）air pollutant, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives? although these aren't great either.Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appedte for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. There?s something called “share-washing" that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco- friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as "a way to share rides and limit car ownership,,,and yet "it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation use."Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet.32.What is Elizabeth Cline?s attitude toward clothing rental?A. Approving.B. Unfavorable.C. Objective.D. Enthusiastic.33.The Uber example in Paragraph 6 indicates that .A. rental services are on the riseA.clothing rental will be as successful as UberB.renting clothes might waste more than expectedC.renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion34.The author suggests that we should .A.give up renting any clothingB.purchase inexpensive clothesC.rent clothes rather than buy themD.make full use of clothes we've possessed35.What is the passage mainly about?A.Clothing rental is a new fashion.B.Clothing rental is retailers? preference.C.Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly.D.Renting-clothes business is in a dilemma. 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。

Recent development has made possiblemachines that print, cook, and serve foods o n a mass scale. And the industryisn’t stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook canprint complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on awedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, buta printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to”re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly thesame,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, allof the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.SustainabilityThe global population is expectedto grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food productionwill need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainabilityis becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to thesolution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids from plentiful renewables like algae and grass to replace the familiar ingredients. 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock “food” that lasts years on end, freeing upshelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers couldmake processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University,said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customizednutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’sbread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you ondemand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, mostingredients must be changed to a paste before a printer can use them,and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interactwith each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D foodprinters now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk productsmay easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believingthey are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-endrestaurants.（1）What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A . It helps cooks to create new dishes.B . It saves time and effort in cooking.C . It improves the cooking conditions.D . It contributes to restaurant decorations.（2）What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A . It solves food shortages easily.B . It quickens the transportation of food.C . It needs no space for the storage of food.D . It uses renewable materials as sources of food.（3）According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ________.A . is more available to consumersB . can meet individual nutritionalneedsC . is more tasty than food in supermarketsD . can keep all the nutrition in raw materials（4）What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?A . The printing process is complicated.B . 3D food printers are too expensive.C . Food materials have to be dry.D . Some experts doubt 3D food printing.（5）What could be the best title of the passage?A . 3D Food Printing: Delicious New TechnologyB . A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingC . The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionD . 3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table19. 阅读理解Failure is probably the most exhaustingexperience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness intwo ways: as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keepputting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And thelonger we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is veryreal, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle themost difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, Idetermined to write them in alphabetical, never letting myself leaveout a tough idea. And I always startedthe day’s work with the difficult taskof essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is moredifficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do thejob right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we failagain and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let theunconscious take over.When planning EncyclopaediaBritannica , I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of itsarticles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after dat I keptcoming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almostunbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, Iwrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried toconvince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me.Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke upsuddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, thesolution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at everystep. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now asexciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe musttry to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.（1）People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A . delay tasksB . work hardC . seek helpD . accept failure（2）What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A . Writing essays in strict order.B . Building up physical strength.C .Leaving out the toughest ideas.D . Dealing with the hardest task first.（3）On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A . Before starting a difficult task.B . When all the solutions fail.C . If the job is rather boring.D . After finding a way out.（4）According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A . ignore mental problemsB . get some nice sleepC . gain complete reliefD . find the right solution（5）What could be the best title for the passage?A . Success Is Built upon FailureB . How to Handle Performance FatigueC . Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD . Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems20. 阅读理解A scientist working at her lab bench and asix-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. Afterall, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature ofthe physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right? Perhaps,but some developmental psychologists have argued that this “play” is morelike a scientific invest igation than one might think.Take a closer look at the babyplaying at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge,it falls in the ground---and, in the process, it belongs out important evidenceabout how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, butrequire support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowingthe basic fact of the universe; nor are they everclearly taught it. Instead,babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experimentsand then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact.Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and thescientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim, overall approach , and logic.Some psychologists suggest thatyoung children learn about more than just the physical world in this way---thatthey investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similarmeans. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering,and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea thatother people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, forexample, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.Viewing childhood developmentas a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offersan inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children andscientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that scienceas an effort ---the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world---issimply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided humanbabies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adultscientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. Thesame cognitive systems that make young children feel good about feel good aboutfiguring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As somepsychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientis ts butthat scientists are big children.”（1）According to some developmental psychologists .A . a baby’s play is nothing more than a gameB . scientific research into babies; games is possibleC . the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigatedD . a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment （2）We learn from Paragraph 2 that .A . scientists and babies seem to observe the world differentlyB . scientists and babies often interact with each otherC . babies are born with the knowledge of object supportD . babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do（3）Children may learn the rules of language by .A . exploring the physical worldB . investigating human psychologyC . repeating their own experimentsD . observing their parents’ behaviors （4）What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A . The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play.B . Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science.C . Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists.D . One’s drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.（5）What is the author’s tone when he discusses the connection between scientists’ research and babies’ play?A . Convincing.B . Confused.C . Confidence.D . Cautious.四、任务型阅读（本大题共5小题，共10分）21. 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

VTech Touch & Swipe Baby PhoneBNASA is launching its latest spacecraft this week, the Parker Solar Probe(探测器). The robotic craft will fly closer to the Sun than any man-made object has ever been before, sending back invaluable new data on the star’s properties(特性) and atmospheric conditions over aseven-year period. The project is named in honour of American physicist Eugene Parker who first put forward the theory on the nature of solar winds in 1958.The probe will be attached to a rocket and sent into space from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on the morning of Saturday 11 August. The rocket is second only to spaceX’s Falcon Heavy in terms of power. It will travel at a speed of 125 miles a second on the way, making it one of the fastest ever built. It is scheduled to use the gravity of Venus on October 2nd this year—slowing its approach and allowing greater control—and hit the first perihelion (the point in its orbit when it is closest to the Sun) by November 5th. On arrival, the Parker Solar Probe will orbit around the Sun 24 times until late 2025, each complete orbit taking 88 days, passing at a distance of 3.83 million miles from the Sun’s surface on its closest approach.Specifically, the project is intended to gather new information on “space weather” conditions that influence the earth, what causes solar winds to accelerate and behave as they do and what causes the huge eruptions astronomers have observed. “We don’t have a strong understanding of the mechanisms that drive that wind towards us, and that’s what we’re heading out to discover,” said project scientist Dr. Nicky Fox of the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.4. The passage probably came out__________________.A. On August 11th, 2018.B. On October 2nd, 2018C. On August 6th, 2018.D. On November 5th, 20185. From the second paragraph, we can know _______________.A. The rocket to which the probe will be attached is more powerful than SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy.B. The probe will be the closest to the sun in 2025.C. The probe will travel at a speed of 7,500 miles per minute on the way.D. The probe will travel slow and then speed up a bit.6. The project is named the “Parker Solar Probe”_________________.A. In honor of the designer of the probe.B. To honor a pioneer in the field.C. In memory of the place of the launch.D. To mark a special occasion.7. One of the objectives of the launch is ____________________.A. to observe the earth at a distance.B. to supervise the activities of astronomers.C. to explore solar winds.D. to accelerate solar winds.CHeart attacks can affect anyone, but are especially threatening for women. Not only do the symptoms appear differently in women, but a new study suggests the gender of the medical provider who treats a woman having a heart attack may mean the difference between life and death.Research published this week found that a woman is more likely to survive a heart attack if she receives care from a female emergency room doctor. The study was based on 582,000 patients in Florida hospitals from 1991 to 2010. Alarmingly, the study showed that women patients wereless likely to survive heart attacks than male patients, and that the largest gap in survival rates between genders occurred under male doctors.Among heart attack patients treated by women doctors, 11.8 percent of men died compared with 12 percent of women---a relatively small disparity. But the gap was larger for heart attack patients under the care of male doctors. In that group, 12.6 percent of men died and 13.3 percent of women died. The data took into account factors such as race, age and medical history.The finding “suggest that having training programs that are more gender-neutral, or showing how men and women might present symptoms differently, could improve outcomes for female patients,” Seth Carnahan, one of the study’s authors, said in a statement.One of the main factors affecting the quality of care that women patients receive is communication with their doctors, according to Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a fellow of the American Heart Association. “What I tell all women is that they need to really understand that how they communicate is the most important thing,” said Steinbaum. “If they believe that they’re having a heart issue or are unsure of what’s going on, it becomes important for them to say ‘I think it might be my heart,’ because then the doctor will look for problem with it.”Effective communication is a vital part of receiving quality treatment, but the study also highligh ts a need for doctors to change the way they treat women’s medical symptoms. Research shows many doctors really don’t take women’s pain seriously.8. After analyzing data from 582,000 patients, what did the researchers find?A. female doctors knew about heart attacks better.B. women patients preferred to be treated by female doctors.C. women were better at working as emergency room doctors.D. female doctors could help women heart attack victims better.9. What does the underlined word “disparity” in Para graph 3 mean?A. comparisonB. differenceC. disagreementD. increase10.According to Seth Carnahan, what do the findings of the study suggest?A. more female doctors should be employed.B. the medical history of patients should be referred to.C. male doctors should receive more training than female ones.D. training programs on heart attack treatment should be improved.11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. to show findings of a new medical study.B. to warn male doctors of potential risks.C. to encourage people to trust doctors.D. to talk about heat attacks.DFor the latter part of the 1900s, most alcohol advertising on TV was banned. During this time, the number of minors(未成年人) drinking alcohol declined. Several years ago the ban was lifted and alcohol ads returned to television. Since then the number of minors drinking alcohol has grown.A study conducted by the University of California Berkley shows that alcohol ads increase the abuse of alcohol, positive attitudes to it, and consumption of it in minors. Congressman Wolfe from Virginia also finds that alcohol advertising increases drunk driving and alcohol abuse in under-age individuals. A survey completed in California and South Dakota schools finds that teensthat are frequently exposed to alcohol advertising often begin consuming it in the next year or so.Adolescence is a time of brain development when anything that provides a thrill, like alcohol, is an attraction. And minors drink alcohol mainly to be like their friends. From a very early age, children want to fit in. Other than socializing, some doing that just try to cope with problems or stress. However, drinking alcohol will bring about many problems. Getting rid of these ads would lessen the under-age individua ls’ urges to consume or abuse alcohol.The companies who produce the ads say they target audiences well into adulthood by using older actors. They call it “Responsible Advertising”. The truth is that these companies well know that their ads are played in front of minors. They even try to appeal to teens by using music, animals, and humor which according to several studies are all the things that under-age individuals respond to in an advertisement. Do these companies really believe that simply stating “cons ume responsibly” and showing no visible consumption of alcohol really cover their actual intentions?After all these studies and surveys are taken into account, one conclusion is clear: the companies who make the ads know very well that they are supporting underage drinking and alcohol abuse. People can stand up against these companies by addressing Congress to take action and re-ban these ads. If enough people voice their concerns, they can do just that.12. The author mentioned the findings in the second Paragraph___________.A. to show alcohol ads’ negative effects on minors.B. to tell us the danger of minors’drunk driving.C. to tell us the harm of minors’drinking alcohol.D. To show the Congressman’s attitude towards minor’s consuming alcohol.13. According to the third paragraph, we know__________________.A. the reason why alcohol ads attract minorsB. the reason why minors tend to drink alcoholC. the way that alcohol affects minor’s lifeD. the way that minors handle problems with alcohol14. What can we infer from the passage?A. Minors tend to do what they are forbidden to .B. Minors know little about “consume responsibly”.C. The ad companies’ target consumers actually include minors.D. The ad companies employ older actors mainly to attract adults.15. What is the passage mainly about?A. The phenomenon about the alcohol consumptionB. The reasons for minors’ consumption in alcoholC. Alcohol advertising and its effects on minorsD. The reasons for banning alcohol consumption in minors第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满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。

It is reported that more than 8 million tons of plastic end up in our ocean every year, and nearly half of the plastic we produce is single-use only.This shoe brand, however, is riding the wave of change and is on a mission to help clean up our waters and rid the sea of plastic bottles that can take up to 400 years to break down. Vivobarefoot's newest footwear uses recycled plastic materials and has created an education program that spreads awareness about how harmful plastic is for sea life.Every pair of shoes is made up of 17 plastic water bottles taken from the ocean and turned into a sustainable, comfortable pair of shoes, which are also healthy for your feet. And while not everyone can take part in ocean cleanups, choosing little ways we can to give back to our planet goes a long way.Vivobarefoot's new products include a variety of high-performance styles such as casual sneakers, running shoes, and hiking boots. The brand hopes that its latest initiative (首创精神) will help lessen the indifference to pollution and how harmful it is for all living beings.In the future, Vivobarefoot hopes to increase their production of shoes created from sustainable materials, and thankfully, they are now one of many brands that aim to increase environmentalism and educate communities on how global warming affects everyone.This year, they'll add more recyclable and traceable materials into more than half of their production line, and they have plenty of creative developments in the works as well.The shoes also have a health benefit. Based on the concept that wider, minimally designed shoes enable our foot to function at maximum potential, wearers also experience better balance and sensory input.24.How does the author make his point convincing?A.By making comparisons.B.

Previous research found associations between a lack of exercise and decline in character traits (特性), such as sense of duty, measured 4 to 10 years after initial surveys. Now the largest analysis of its kind to date has used longer follow-up periods to confirm these links.A team led by psychologist Yannick Stephan reached their conclusion aftercombining data from two large, survey-based studies. The Wisconsin Longitudinal Study followed people who graduated from that state's high schools in 1957. The Midlife in the United States studied people from across the country.Participants in both completed personality questionnaires when they first participated in the study in the 1990s and answered questions about their exercise habits and health. Nearly 20 years later a total of about 9000 people took the same surveys again.Stephan and his team found that the subjects who reported being less active had greater reductions on average in sense of duty, openness and agreeableness even after accounting for differences in baseline personality and health. No link was found with the last trait---moodiness. Physical activity predicted personality change better than disease burden did, for example.“Personality is, in part, what we repeatedly do and changes in habits can strengthen changes in personality,” says Markus Jokela, who has not involved in the new study.Correlations do not prove causation(必然因果), however. Additional factors, such as genetics or earlier life events, might be affecting both exercise levels and personality. The findings also need to be doubled in samples from different cultures and in studies using objective measures of an active lifestyle.Nevertheless, the new analysis stresses the idea that personality is malleable throughout life. It can be easily influenced by our lifestyle. It also agrees with studies suggesting personality is linked to health. “These findings also further stress the need for physical activity promotion in midlife and older age,” Stephan says.28.

His grandfather andhis father were ocean explorers and documentary filmmakers. Fabien spent his early years on his grandfather' s ships. Today, Fabien follows in his family' s footsteps to protect the planet' s endangered ocean life. With his vast knowledge and experience, he tries to strike a balance between environmental problems and market economies.Fabien is well known for his study of sharks. During 2000-2002, he created a TV special called Attack of the Mystery Shark based on the shark attacks that occurred along the New Jersey shoreline in the summer of 1916. Then in 2003-2006, with the help of a large crew, Fabien created a shark submarine (潜艇) that enabled him to put himself inside the shark world, providing people with a rare view of the mysterious and often misunderstood creatures.For the next four years (2006-2010), Fabien was part of a series called, Ocean Adventures, which offered a rare look into some of the most fantastic ocean species (物种) and environments.In 2010, Fabien started Plant A Fish, a nonprofit project for children to help restore local water ecosystems by replanting key ocean species. Save the world, one fish at a time. The project is still in progress now and its final goal is to plant1 billion “fish” worldwide.From June 1 to July 2, 2014, Fabien and his team spent 31 days underwater to research how climate change and pollution are affecting the oceans. Fabien' s Mission 31 broke new ground by going deeper, longer and further, exposing (显露) the world to the adventure and the mystique (神秘) of what lies beneath.Fabien is currently working on a documentary film about the adventures of Mission 31, as well as building an Ocean Learning Center to provide children around the world with the opportunity to learn about oceans and engage with ocean explorers directly through social media.32.What is Not Fabien's job?A. Ocean explorer.B. Documentary filmmaker.C. Environmentalist.D. Media manager.33. How is Paragraph 2 developed?A. By providing facts.B. By offering analyses.C. By making comparisons.D. By drawing conclusions.34. We can learn from the text that ________.A. Fabien's “Plant A Fish” project has already achieved its final goalB. Fabien's Mission 31 broke the records of former ocean explorationsC. Fabien's TV special about sharks is based on his childhood experiencesD. It took Fabien four years to produce Ocean Adventures all on his own35. In which part of a website can we read the text?A. Modern Technology.B. Space Exploration.C. Outstanding Figures.D.
