their own countries once they realize how cheap（3）can be to eat out．I still remember（4）（visit）a friend who'd lived here for five years and I（5）（shock）when I learnt she hadn't cooked once in all that time．While regularly eating out seems to（6）（become）common for many young people in recent years，it's not without a cost．The obvious one is money；eating out once or twice a week may be（7）（afford）but doing this most days adds up．There could be an even（8）（high）cost on your health．Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in（9）（weigh）problems．If you are not going to suffer this problem，then I suggest that the next time you go to your mums'home（10）dinner，get a few cooking tips from her．Cooking food can be fun．You might also begin to notice the effects not only on your health but in your pocket．二．语法填空（共20小题）2．（2020•山东）Many people have the hobby of collecting things，e．g．stamps，postcard or antiques．In the18th and19th centuries，（1）（wealth）people travelled and collected plants，historical objects and works of art．They kept their collection at home until it got too big（2）until they died，and then it was given to a museum．The80，000objects collected by Sir Hans Sloane，for example，（3）（form）the core collection of the British Museum（4）opened in1759．The parts of a museum open to the public（5）（call）galleries or rooms．Often，only a small part ofa museum's collection（6）（be）on display．Most of it is stored away or used for research．Many museums are lively places and they attract a lot of visitors．As well as looking at exhibits，visitors can play with computer simulations（模拟）and imagine（7）（they）living at a different time in history or （8）（walk）through a rainforest．At the Jorvik Centre in York，the city's Viking settlement is recreated，and people experience the sights，sounds and smells of the old town．Historical（9）（accurate）is important but so is entertainment．Museums must compete（10）people's spare time and money with other amusements．Most museums also welcome school groups and arrange special activities for children．3．（2020•浙江）Some time after10，000BC，people made the first real attempt to control the world they lived （1），through agriculture．Over thousands of years，they began to depend less on（2）could be hunted or gathered from the wild，and more on animals they had raised and crops they had sown．Farming produced more food per person（3）hunting and gathering，so people were able to raise more children．And，as more children were born，more food（4）（need）．Agriculture gave people theirfirst experience of the power of technology（5）（change）lives．By about6000BC，people（6）（discover）the best crops to grow and animals to raise．Later，they learned to work with the（7）（season），planting at the right time and，in dry areas，（8）（make）use of annual floods to irrigate（灌溉）their fields．This style of farming lasted for quite a long time．Then，with（9）rise of science，changes began．New methods（10）（mean）that fewer people worked in farming．In the last century or so，these changes have accelerated．New power machinery and artificial fertilizers（化肥）have now totally transformed a way of life that started in the Stone Age．4．（2020•河北、湖南、湖北、江西、广东、安徽、福建）China has become the first country to land a spacecraft on the far side of the moon．The unmanned Chang'e﹣4probe（探测器）﹣the name was inspired by an ancient Chinese moon goddess﹣（1）（touch）down last week in the South Pole﹣Aitken basin．Landing on the moon's far side is（2）（extreme）challenging．Because the moon's body blocks direct radio communication with a probe，China first had to put a satellite in orbit above the moon in a spot（3）it could send signals to the spacecraft and to Earth．The far side of the moon is of particular（4）（interesting）to scientists because it has a lot of deep craters（环形山），more so（5）the familiar near side．Chinese researchers hope to use the instruments onboard Chang'e﹣4（6）（find）and study areas of the South Pole﹣Aitken basin．"This really excites scientists，"Carle Pieters，a scientist at Brown University，says，"because it（7）（mean）we have the chance to obtain information about how the moon（8）（construct）．"Data about the moon's composition，such as how（9）ice and other treasures it contains，could help China decide whether（10）（it）plans for a future lunar（月球的）base are practical．5．（2020•浙江）Something significant is happening to the world population﹣it is aging．The median（中位数的）age of an American in1950（1）（he）30﹣today it is41and is expected（2）（increase）to42 by2050．For Japan，the（3）（number）are more striking22in1950，46today and53in2050．In 2015，one in12people around the world were over65；by2050，it will be one in six．This aging of the population is driven（4）two factors．The first is declining birth rates：which means old generations are Large（5）（compare）to younger generations，and so，on average，the population becomes（6）（old）than before．This is（7）（particular）true in the US．Thesecond reason is that people are living longer．A child born in the US today has（8）very realistic chanceof living beyond100and needs to plan accordingly．People tend to focus on the first factor．However，greater attention should（9）（place）on longevity （长寿）．It isn't just that people are，on average，living longer．It's also that they are on average healthier （10）more productive for longer．Therefore，they can work for longer，consume more and in general be boost to the economy．6．（2019•上海）Millions of Baby Olive Ridley Turtles Emerge in OrissaNature is full of wonders．In（1）is one of the most breathtaking sights in nature，millions of baby Ridley turtles broke out of their eggshells under the sand at one of their mass nesting grounds in coastal Orissa．The baby turtles started their journey towards the Bay of Bengal（2）they emerged from their nest in the southern district of Ganjam，about175km from Bhubaneshwar．Orissa is the home to three mass nesting sites of the Oliver turtles，a species（3）（threaten）with extinction，and one of the sites，Gahirmatha，（4）around70to80million turtles lay eggs on the beach every year，is considered one of the world's largest nesting sites．The female turtles drag（5）up the beach from the sea，dig a nest，lay at least one hundred eggs，cover and conceal their eggs and nest，and then return to the sea．The females never visit the nest again to take care of the eggs that（6）（deposit）in the warm sand．The baby turtles emerge from the eggs after4560days，then the babies grow without their mother，which is a rare phenomenon in nature，Interestingly，it is on the same beach where they were born（7）the females lay their eggs．In the recent years，sea erosion has led to many turtles'nest（8）（damage）or destroyed．Also，some fierce animals such as dogs and birds（9）（reduce）the number of nesting turtles．And of course man has also had a negative impact（10）using engine﹣powered fishing boats near the turtles'nesting grounds．7．（2019•北京）AOn the first day of my first grade，I stood by the door with butterflies in my stomach．I（1）（voice）my biggest concern to my mother，"How will I make friends？"She handed me advice，"Be yourself．"For thepast20years，I have lived by these words．Soon I will graduate and become part of the real world．Nervously （2）（face）challenges，I know I will whisper to（3）（I）the two simple words"Be yourself"．BEarth Day，（4）（mark）on22April，is an

most from college are those（9）are totally engaged（参与）in academic life，taking full advantage of the college's chances and resources（资源）．Students should have a proper attitude towards college before thinking about which college to attend，and it's never too early to make necessary preparations for a healthy and（10）（meaning）college experience．8．（2019•浙江）There are several reasons why school uniforms are good idea．First of all，uniforms help the school look smart．The students feel that they belong to a particular group．When every pupil in the school wears the uniform，nobody（1）（have）to worry about fashion（时尚）．Everybody wears（2）same style of clothes．Uniforms can be useful in unexpected ways．A school in Ireland has introduced an interesting new uniform．On the edge of the jacket，there is a piece of cloth（3）gives off light in the dark．When the children are walking or（4）（cycle）to school on dark mornings，car drivers can（5）（easy）see them．But can uniforms help improve school standards？The answer（6）this question is not clear．One study in America found that students'grades（7）（improve）a little after the school introduced uniforms．But some students didn't want（8）（wear）the uniform．Other American studies showedno（9）（connect）between uniforms and school performance．School uniforms are（10）（tradition）in Britain，but some schools are starting to get rid of them．Some very good schools don't have a uniform policy．However，uniforms are still popular．Pupils at about90percent of British secondary schools wear uniforms．9．（2019•海南）A90﹣year﹣old has been awarded"Woman Of The Year"for（1）（be）Britain's oldest full﹣time employee﹣still working40hours a week．Now Irene Astbury works from9am to5pm daily at the petshop in Macclesfield，（2）she opened with her late husband Les．Her years of hard work have（3）（final）been acknowledged after a customer nominated（提名）her to be Cheshire's Woman Of The Year．Picking up her"Lifetime Achievement"award，proud Irene（4）（declare）she had no plans（5）（retire）from her36﹣year﹣old business．Irene said，"I don't see any reason to give up work．I love coming here and seeing my family and all the friends I（6）（make）over the years．I work not because I have to，（7）because I want to．"Granddaughter Gayle Parks，31﹣who works alongside her in the family business﹣said it remained unknown as to who nominated Irene for the award．She said，"We don't have any idea who put grandma forward．When we got a call（8）（say）she was short﹣listed，we thought it was（9）joke．But then we got an official letter and we were blown away．We are so proud of her．It's（10）（wonder）．"10．（2018•上海）My Kid﹣free LifeI had expected to have more free time after my sons，Evan and Alex，each left for college，and I do．The kitchen calendar looks spare．Rarely（1）I need to prepare family dinner every day．There is a lot（2）（little）laundry．When the boys were infants，I wondered how I（3）（spend）all the hours before they were born．（4）I have those hours back，I can focus on my own needs．I had also expected to worry about them when they were away．And I do，Did they get their flu shots（流感疫苗注射）？Will they remember the talks about"good choices"？On the other hand，the worry is mixed with relief．I have seen（5）vigorously they grow without me．Do I miss them？Yes．Both more and less than I'd guessed．Do I feel united for having lost my primary rolein life？No，because over the year，I took great pride（6）the fact that my identity was not dependenton theirs．But，surprisingly，yes．（7）（be）a different kind of mother defines me now．The missing comes at unexpected moments：seeing the school bus drive by，starting to put too many plates on the table．When they have doubts about friendships or job prospects，I can only say，"I'm sure you will figure it out．"And yet，the spaces（8）（empty）by loss are more than filled by what I've found．I now have the chance（9）（see）them as the whole world does but also like no one else ever will．As adults I happened to help create．The rooms（10）the boys used to live look vacant．I feel sadness but also joy．I knew they would leave，but they will find their way back．My home is empty．But overflowing．11．（2018•上海）A comprehensive study of4，500children conducted by the National Institutes of Health in2018 shows that children who spent more than seven hours a day staring at screens showed evidence of premature thinning of their brain's cortex the outer layer that processes sensory information．"We don't know if it（1）（cause）by the screen time．We don't know yet if it's a bad thing．It won't be until we follow them over time （2）we will see if there are outcomes that are associated with the differences that we're seeing in this single snapshot，"Dr．Gaya Dowling．"What we can say is that this is（3）the brains look like of kids who spend a lot of time on screens．And it's not just one pattern．"The problem isn't just screens（4），but also the way screens tempt kids（and adults）away from something far more important：physical activity．More than23percent of adults and80percent of adolescents don't get enough physical activity，and according to a2019report from the World Health Organization（WHO），these patterns of activity and rest arise（5）habits we develop early in life．"What we really need to do is （6）（bring）back play for children，"says Dr．Juana Willumsen，a WHO specialist in childhood obesity and physical activity，in a statement about new WHO guidelines issued in April2019．"This is about making the shift from sedentary time to playtime，while（7）（protect）sleep．"Of course，children aren't completely to blame for their screen addiction．Sometimes，the parents（8）complain about the role of screens in family life are just as guilty of spending too much time in front of one．A2016study（9）（conduct）by Common Sense Media found that parents spend up to nine hours a day in front of screens，mostly not for work﹣related reasons．While78 percent of parents said they believed they were good screen time role models，the study found a disconnect between their behavior and their perception of their behavior．Parents need to limit screen time for themselves and especially for their kids（10）it means playing the bad guy．Our mental and physical health depends on it．12．（2018•浙江）The Caffeine CatchCaffeine，a chemical typically found in coffee，has caused a lot of concern because it is one of the few drugs that show up regularly in our food supply．You probably（1）（use）caffeine since childhood．Caffeine （2）（be）in your first Coke．If you ever enjoyed a chocolate bar，you ate caffeine．Soft drinks arethe major source（来源）of caffeine for most children and even some adults．（3）（recent），caffeine has found its way into orange，apple，and other flavored drinks．Small amounts of caffeine﹣a cup（4）two of coffee a day﹣seem safe for most people．However，some people have trouble with even small amounts．One cup of coffee（5）the late afternoon or evening will cause（6）（they）to stay awake almost all night．Larger amounts of caffeine can cause a problem （7）（call）caffeinism．You get very nervous and you can't sleep．It is possible（8）caffeine may cause birth defects（缺陷）in humans，too．One study showed that （9）（woman）who drank a lot of coffee，like eight or more cups per day，while they were pregnant were more likely（10）（have）children with birth defects．13．（2017•上海）In the presence of animalsA professor of public health at UCLA says that pet ownership might provide a new form of health care．As far back as the1790s，the elderly at a senior citizens'home in England（1）（encourage）to spend time with farm animals．This would help patients'mental state more than the cruel therapies（2）（use）on the mentally ill at the time．In recent years，scientists have finally begun to find proof（3）contact with animals can increase a sick person's chance of survival and have shown（4）（lower）heart rate，calm upset children，and get people to start a conversation．Scientists think that animals'companionship is beneficial（5）animals are accepting and attentive，and they don't criticize or give orders．Animals have the unique ability to be more social．For example，visitors to nursing homes get more social responses from patients when they come with animal companions．Not only do people seem（6）（anxious）when animals are nearby，but they may also live longer．Studies show that a year（7）heart surgery，survival rates for heart patients were higher for those with pets in their homes than those without pets．Elderly people with pets make fewer trips to doctors than those without animal companions，possibly because animals relieve loneliness．Staying with animals is believed to create a peaceful state of mind，（8）（result）in a favorable environment for everyone．Research confirms that the findings concerning senior citizens can be applied to restless children．They are more easy﹣going when there are animals around，with（9）company they tend to calm down more easily．They involve（10）in playing with animals and the presence of animals conforms them greatly．14．（2017•上海）"Zootopia"Broke Disney RecordsLast weekend，the latest Disney movie，"Zootopia，"broke records．The movie had the largest opening weekend for a Disney animation（动画片）．People across the United States bought more than﹩75million worth of tickets．"Zootopia"is a city of animals．The movie stars a rabbit police officer and a fox criminal（1）team upto find a
