AWhy go to Madrid?There may be a slight chill ( 寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15 ℃in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance ( 文艺复兴) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24 June to 5 October.How to go?The widest range of fights is ofered by EasyJet - from Bristo, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton. British Airways and its sister arline Iberia combine fores from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.Barajas airport is 13km north-east of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Miniterios station and takes about 30 minutes. The fare to any station in the city entre is €4.50. The airport express bus runs every 15 to 35 minutes around the clock; €5 one way. It takes 40 minutes to reach the city centre. A taxi takes half the time. A flat rate of €30 covers most of central Madrid.1.When will the exhibition about Picasso close?A. On 23 March.B. On 11 May.C. On 24 June.D.

Take the airport express bus.BMy school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. 1 got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4.What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5.What is special about the garden?A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B.The grass grew faster than common grass.C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D.Underground water was used for the plants.6.What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7.How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions - serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“ By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can. put their health at further risk," said AMA BoardMember Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull ( 颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA'S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8.Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A.To raise safety standards of sports.B.To protect athletes from concussions.C.To set rules for health care evaluation.D.To help players return to the game quickly.9.What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A. Avoid using the head.B. Leave the field forever.C. Get treatment in time.D. Switch to another sport.10.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What a concussion is.B. What causes damage to brain cells.C. How the CDC works.D. How a concussion can be prevented.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Rules for Safer PlayB. Sports Injuries in the USC. Advice to AthletesD. New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides ( 杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumersbelieve it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria ( 病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A. Price.B. Safety.C. Freshness.D. Variety.13.What is the doctors' suggestion?A. Grow your own food.B. Reduce the use of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean.D. Buy large companies' products.14.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A. It tastes better.B. It is easier to grow.C. It contains more fat.D. It is more nutritious.15.Where does this text probably come from?A. A recipe book.B. A chemistry paper.C. A medical report.D. A health magazine.第二节(共5 小题:每小题2.5 分,满分12.5 分)由水浒教育老师整理提供!阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMarineLand Theme ParkWith numerous rides,a variety of wildlife from both land and sea and shows filled with action-packed excitement,no wonder it’s a hit with visitors from all over the world.Whether riding on the world’s biggest steel roller coaster,Dragon Mountain,or enjoying a show filled with fun-loving dolphins and intelligent whales,you’re sure to have the time of your life at MarineLand.Having been in business for more than 50 years,this park has something for every member of the family!Highlights&Attractions:The King Waldorf Stadium Show:This entertaining,educational and heart-warming show features dolphins,white whales,sea lions,and walruses and is sure to leave you in awe as well as help you understand and appreciate these wonderful marine mammals(海洋哺乳动物).Arctic Cove:It featuring one of the largest white whale collections in the world,visitors are able to purchase a pass to Arctic Cove where they can touch andfeed the whales as well as view them underwater.Friendship Cove:Breathtaking underwater viewing allows you to enter the magic world of the killer whale below the water surface or on a surface level walkwav.Hotels:Villager Lodge:It is located in Niagara Falls,Ontario.Diplomat Inn:Within half a mile of the Skylon Tower,it is the choice for an inexpensive location.Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel&Spa:It is close to popular attractions and the Scotiabank Convention Center.Days Inn Lundy’s Lane:It is located just two miles from the gorgeous Niagara Falls and the Skylon Tower Observation Deck.Hours of Operation:10:00 am-5:00 pm(Sept.11th—Oct.13th)Phone:417—823—09811.What can be learned about MarineLand Theme Park?A.It is only suitable for kids.B.It was opened fifty years ago.C.It has both 1and and marine animals.D.It has the world’s biggest roller coaster.2.What is special about Arctic Cove?A.It has the largest white whale collection in the world.B.It allows visitors to enter the magic world of the killer whale.C.It features an entertaining show starring various marine mammals.D.It provides visitors with a chance to interact with white whales personally.3.Which hotel suits you best if you have a tight budget?A.Diplomat Inn.B.Villager Lodge.C.Days Inn Lundy’s Lane.D.Marriott Niagara Fails Fallsview Hotel&Spa.BA few weeks ago,I bought a locally-grown salad from a vending machine(自动售货机).But then I immediately realized that it was packaged in a plastic jar.“I guess I live with this jar now and forever.”I thought sadly as I stared down at my new child.The salad jar was only the latest in a long line of examples of how I am addicted to the responsibility of reusing everything,trying to never throw anything away.Water bottles have been given second lives,and berry containers are transformed into Tupperware.I recently even looked at a plastic straw in my fruit juice:Could I reuse it too…?Yet trying to squeeze my salad jar under my kitchen counter this weekend,I finally had to admit:Being an environmentalist has turned me into a hoarder(囤积者).While keeping a certain number of jars and vegetable bags will allow me not to buy new containers,at a certain point those 30 berry containers begin to get a bit unnecessary.Who am I kidding?Then one day I came across a blog post that asks accusingly.“Are you turning your own home into a landfill(垃圾填埋场)?”In my defense,there is absolutely no excuse not to be a conscious consumer.The solution is painfully obvious,but hard to admit:Delaying waste is not,in fact,rejecting waste.In an over-packaged,over-consuming culture,this can feel like a burden.While I refuse to throw away packaging,the fact remains:I already have it.The damage is done.I’ve been ignoring one of the most essential and difficult parts—reduce,reuse,recycle.Even if I go out of my way to reuse the waste I do have,I need to reduce what I am bringing home in the first place.While I might not be ready to go full zero-waste,it’s a goal that is admirable to work toward.Until then,my salad jar child is going to make a great overnight oats jar.4.What does the author try to indicate by the last sentence in paragraph 2 ? A.How important reusing is.B.How enthusiastic she is about reusing.C.How she makes use of the plastic straw.D.Why she is responsible for reusing plastic straws.5.Why does the author say she has turned into a hoarder?A.She enjoys collecting a variety of small jars.B.She has saved far more containers than she needs.C.She likes the idea of saving fine packages in daily life.D.She stores more berry containers than other containers.6.What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 4 refer to?A.Over-packaging.B.Delaying waste.C.Over-consuming.D.Rejecting waste.7.The author realizes at last that she should___________.A.buy fewer over-packaged goodsB.throw away unnecessary packagingC.reuse materials as much as possibleD.appreciate the value of recycling materialsCIt is common for adults to use“baby talk”when interacting with babies.This way of speaking attempts to imitate the sounds babies make when they first try to talk.But is this form of communication helpful to a child’s development?Several studies have suggested a clear link between parental language methods and a child’s early language development.Studies showed that language learning in babies was improved when parents spoke more than a few simple words and used a wider vocabulary.Earlier research found that the style of speech used by parents to communicate with their baby could have an influence on language development.One such speaking style is known as“parentese”.Research has shown that babies react better to this kind of language in the first months of life.Generally,parentese involves adults speaking in a higher voice and at a slower speed.The language is simplified,while sentences are short and often repeated.Studies from the past 30 years have confirmed that babies spoken to in parentese developed larger vocabularies throughout the first three years of life.A new study on the subject,a project of the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences,examined whether parents can be effectively taught methods to improve their parentese skills.Naj a Ferjan Ramírez.working in the Institute for Learning&Brain Sciences,said that the parents involved in the research were first shown the importance of language input for their baby’s development.Parents were then given suggestions on how to use different parentese methods,and then rated on how well they used these methods with their child.She added that the new study is important because there are still a 1ot of parents with little knowledge about how to use parentese to help their child.This was one reason the researchers included parents from different cultural and economic groupings.8.How do parents usually talk with their babies?A.By speaking in a funny style.B.By copying babies’sounds.C.By raising speaking speed.D.By whispering in babies’ears.9.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.Babies’language skills are decided by talent.B.Babies’language is improved by simple words.C.Parental language style helps improve babies’behavior.D.Parental language methods affect babies’language development.10.Where can you find how parents were trained in parentese skills?A.In paragraph 2.B.In paragraph 3.C.In paragraph 4.D.In paragraph 5.11.What can be the best title for the text?A.Communicating with babies matters moreB.Parentese is a good way to practice languageC.The more parents help,the better babies 1earnD.Speaking parentese helps with babies’language learningDGwheezie,a nurse,wrote about her heart attack symptoms on social media.“Last Sunday I had a heart attack.I’m alive because I called 911.I never had chest pain.It wasn’t what you read in brochures.”Gwheezie pointed out that she recently helped her neighbor clean out the garden and actually thought it was muscle strain(扭伤).The pain ran across her upper back,shoulders and equaly down both arms.“I’d just written it off because it wasn’t really bad,”Gwheezie said.She even drove six hours to help her mother the day before the actual attack came.However,she almost died because she didn’t call it“chest pain”.“I was lucky,”she wrote.“And I wanted to warn women our heart attacks feel different.”“Pain that comes and goes seems like a surprising symptom,but it’s actually common for heart disease,”women’s health expert,Jennifer Haythe says.“Some women will experience chest pain,but it may feel different than the typical ‘crushing pain(压迫性疼痛)’men will describe.Other women won’t have chest pain at all,which can be deadly.”Sanjiv Patel,MD,says.“Women are far morelikely to develop untypical symptoms for a heart attack,including indigestion,shortness of breath,tiredness,and arm,neck and back pain,etc.”But there are ways to distinguish if the pain is heart-related.“If you have pain and it gets worse when you exhaust yourself,that’s more likely to be a sign,”Patel says.“If you have pain and difficulty breathing when you’re sitting and watching TV,you get up and walk around and it goes away,the pain is probably not related to your heart.Moreover,if it comes back the next day for a longer period of time.you’11 want to see a doctor.”“Any new symptom that doesn’t feel quite right calls for an immediate call or visit to your doctor,”Haythe says.“Take your body seriously.It’s usually telling you something.”12.Why did Gwheezie post her heart attack symptoms on social media?A.To raise some money.B.To record the process.C.To inform other women.D.To share her lucky story.13.What does the underlined phrase“written it off”in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Ignored it.B.Recorded it.C.Treated it.D.Discovered it.14.What do Jennifer Haythe’s words indicate?A.Pain is a fairly rare symptom for heart disease.B.Chest pain may be a good thing for heart disease.C.Women are far more likely to die of heart disease.D.Men have more chest pain symptoms than women.15.How can we distinguish heart-related pain?A.Ftom the breath and sleep.B.Ftom the position and frequency.C.From the tiredness and heart beats.D.From the degree and length.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

B.It can track users' changes of positions.C.It can keep users in a fixed position. D.It can detect users' health condition.6.Which of the following can best describe the desk?A.Productive but challenging .B.Convenient but unaffordable.C.Complex and impractical. D.Multifunctional and intelligent.C (2019·郑州市质量预测)Are you a procrastinator(拖延者)?It's a common problem.And it can be harmful,as previous research has shown that people who procrastinate have higher levels of stress and lower wellbeing,reported the Association for Psychological Science in the US.But a new study has found a way to deal with this problem:Be more connected to your future self.Psychologists think that each person believes that they are really two people:“Present Me”and“Future Me”.“People act as if they prefer their current selves' needs and desires to those of their future selves,”wrote psychologists Neil Lewis and Daphna Oyserman.Oyserman and Lewis decided to try to find a way to make “Present Me”imagine exactly how“Future Me”would feel the night before a big paper was due,though“Present Me”hadn't started yet.They made“Present Me”think about a faroff event a number of days away,not months or years.Thinking about events in this way meant that something like a friend's wedding seemed 16.3 days sooner when considered in days rather than months and 11.4 months sooner when considered in months rather than years.The researchers also tried to find out whether people would take action sooner if they were told a certain event was happening in several days rather than years.For example,participants imagined they had a newborn child,and that the child would need to go to college in either 18 years or 6,570 days.The researchers found those in the“days”condition planned to start saving four t imes sooner than those in the“years”condition.So if you think of your life in days instead of years,you may get things done quicker.7.What did Oyserman and Lewis intend to do through their study?A.To work on a solution to test if someone is a procrastinator.B.To find out whether human beings usually have two different characters.C.To discover procrastinators are more likely to have a lower sense of wellbeing.D.To prove it's helpful to connect our current selves more with future selves.8.The underlined part“this way”in Paragraph 4 refers to“”.A.setting up tough deadlines B.following schedules strictlyC.counting in smaller units of time D.imagining how your future self will feel9.What helps prevent people from procrastinating?A.Comparing their future selves with present selves.B.Considering their current selves' needs and desires.C.Thinking about faroff events in days rather than years.D.Marking important events on a calendar as a reminder.10.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.A way to get things done in time.B.The harmful effects of procrastination.C.The reason to overlook future needs and desires.D.The way to reduce stress and improve happiness.第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(2019·湖南省五市十校联考)Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air.However,a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. 11 Many people say running in winter can be difficult.One reason is the low temperature. 12 Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body.When you run in cold weather,your heart rate and the body's dehydration(脱水) levels are lower than in warmer conditions. 13This information comes from John Brewer,who is a professor of applied sports science at St.Mary's University.For this study,he and other researchers put a group of people into a special room.The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. 14 Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.He says that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing.Wear gloves on your hands. 15 And especially,wear more than one layer of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin.A.The other reason is the bitter winds.B.We have good reasons to run in winter.C.Wear shoes that will keep you from falling.D.Don't be nervous when you run in cold weather.E.The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.F.In fact,running in cold weather helps improve one's performance.G.The test subjects were asked to

AThese are the Nicest Places in America, from tiny Hayesville, North Carolina to the city of Providence, Rhode Island. You really can find kindness all over the U. S.Yassin ' s Falafel House in Knoxville. TennesseeYassin Terou, who came to Knoxville in 2011, is a well-known local person. His falafel house won the Nicest Places in America contest in 2018 because it serves as a welcoming and safe place for people of every culture who are in trouble. Even though some people don't accept him for who he is, Yassin likes to give everyone a chance because he was given a chance to realize his American dream. Katy, TexasIn 2017, Katy, Texas was hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. About 700 homes and 80 businesses were destroyed or damaged in the small town. Soon after it, local people and businesses immediately helped their neighbors recover.Kalamazoo, MichiganStudent loan debt (学生借贷) is an ever-present case for students looking to go on their education, but in Kalamazoo, it's not a problem. An organization funded by anonymous (匿名的) people called The Kalamazoo Promise pays for any student that attends Kalamazoo public schools to go to college. This town ' s amazing promise is keeping hope alive. Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore, MarylandEnoch Pratt isn't your typical library, it's more of a community service center. In a city with high crime, it offers help to people that get in trouble with the law. Volunteers, including local lawyers doing work without getting paid, serve hundreds of people every week. This library is writing a new chapter (篇章) for Baltimore.21. We learn from Paragraph 3 that Katy ___ .A. was completely destroyedB. lived through the storm safelyC. was recovered with anonymous people's helpD. was rebuilt by local people and businesses22. What gives Baltimore a new look?A. Enoch PrattB. V oluntary workC. The effect of law.D. Community service23. The Nicest Places in America are all ___ .A. related with disastersB. full of kindnessC. about the American dreamD. of the social public serviceBI wanted to lose some weight, and I also hoped to explore the countryside. So I agreed to join a local group of walkers around Aix-en-Provence called the International Hiking Club of Provence.Exercising in the gym was a dull choice in this beautiful place, and when the wind started to blow and the water temperature dropped suddenly, the romantic idea of an everyday sea swim would disappear in my mind. Luckily, that didn't happen very often.From time to time, the group organized imaginative hikes in the countryside around Aix---Mont St Victoire, The Luberon, The Calanques, The Durance valley and other places. The journey would be tough and tiring, and you need a good pair of walking shoes. At the same time, you also need an appetite (胃口) for amazing beauties and hearty conversations with local people and foreigners.My first walk led me down the side of a cliff (悬崖) to the Calanque of Sugiton. Those sea cliffs are the highest in France. It was a great challenge for legs and afterwards, I would enjoy a treat---a refreshing sea swim. Magic! Just our little group and a few locals shared the experience together.In another hike in Provence, the good smell of wild flowers led me up a local mountain in the Luberon.Lost in those beautiful flowers and the relaxing smell, I didn't even notice my tiredness. What a simple pleasure and treat for the senses!In Provence, there are hundreds of ways to explore through woods, valleys, and quiet meadows (草地). Mont Ventoux---the largest mountain in the region is the next goal on my list. A friend goes there regularly by bike and loves it.My hiking experiences inspired the kids to try. They walked up Mont St Victoire and down a Calanque. They complained sometimes, but they also laughed a lot. And they couldn't wait to tell their friends about the experience.24. Why did the author join the group?A. To meet some new walkers.B. To swim in the sea with some friends.C. To learn how to lose some weight from others.D. To lose some weight and enjoy the countryside.25. Which of the following did the author do during her stay around Aix-en-provence?A. She swam in the sea every day.B. She exercised in the gym with others.C. She climbed mountains and went down cliffs.D. She worked as a guide to show foreigners around.26. What did the kids most probably think of walking up Mont St Victoire?A. Difficult but fun.B. Boring and tiring.C. Hard but meaningful.D. Relaxing and interesting.27. What would be the best title for the text?A. A Special Hiking Group in ProvenceB. The Joy of Hiking in ProvenceC. Some Attractions in Provence.D. A Trip to Provence with KidsCI ' ve been trying to write a journal about my visit to LEGO Movie World with my family. Now it is! It's 2019 and wevisited Legoland during our spring break. Since we only had five hours, we decided hitting our favorite places would be thefirst step of the tour.We really enjoyed our time in LEGO Movie World. If you haven't been there, I recommend it to you. There are somefantastic rides that you shouldn't miss.Ride 1: Unikitty's Disco Drop. Immediately to the left of the LEGO Movie World entrance, you can find Unikitty's DiscoDrop. Similar to the Beetle Bounce, this ride adds another touch of fun. As you move up and down the tower, the ride alsorotates (旋转)! The area is enjoyable as well, with all the crazy Unikitty color mixtures present.Ride 2: Masters of Flight. To the right of Unikitty's Disco Drop, there is a huge structure (建筑物). Ifyou've seen The LEGO Movie , you'll recognize this structure as The Dog Cloud Cuckoo Land, where all the Master Buildersmeet.To get inside, you 'Il have to make your way around a maze (迷宫) to wait for your turn but LEGO does a great job tooffer you amusement a while you wait. You'll be greeted by some great structures and provided with a wall to leave yourmark on.Once finally inside the structure, you'll find the Masters of Flight ride. It begins as the seats rotate around and you will findyourself as part of the Emmet's Triple---Decker Couch Mech! While you experience THELEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part, get ready to feel like you're flying! You'll smell pine trees, the ocean, cotton candy andmore! It was certainly my favorite of all the new rides.At the end of the day, I felt Merlin Entertainment did an excellent job in repurposing this area to fit their idea of the LEGOMovie World. It looks fantastic. We are looking forward to coming back to this world.28. When the authors family experienced Unikitty's Disco Drop, ____ .A. they preferred it to the Beetle BounceB. they had to get through the maze firstC. they found the mixed colors unbeautifulD. they saw the ride rotate29. What can we learn about Masters of Flight?A. People give it high praise.B. People can enjoy flying in it.C. People have to line up to experience it.D. People find it boring to wait in the maze.30. What did the author think of LEGO Movie World?A. Satisfying.B. Boring.C. Time-wasting.D. Disappointing.31. What is the text mainly about?A. The author ' s favorite rides.B. The visit to LEGO Movie World.C. The excellent Merlin Entertainment.D. The review of THE LEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part.DWhen snack-food businessmen started selling fat-free products back in the 80s, they really achieved success.Consumers were interested in avoiding fat because it caused heart problems and made them fat. So the nonfat foods were adieter's dream! Fat-free chips and dairy products flew off the shelves. However, as it turned out, not many people becameslim and healthy from going on fat-free diets. In fact, not eating fat seemed to cause more health problems instead.There are many naturally fat- free foods. Fruits and vegetables are on the top of the list. They' relow in calories ( 卡路里 ) and are filled with beneficial vitamins ( 有益的维生素 ). That ' s not the case with processed fat-free food.The problem with fat-free packaged food is that fat makes food taste good. With all the fat taken away, it tastes like cardboard. So, the producers have to add into all kinds of things to keep the taste ---like sugar, salt and artificial flavors ( 人造香精 ) Therefore, processed fat-free foods can actually end up containing more calories than the full- fat foods. Fruit canbe high in calories and sugar, too, but you nutrients (营养物 ) along with it. Processed fat- free foods don 't have a olotht eorf things.We know now that all fat is not evil. Fat helps control your nervous system and encourages bone health. Fat-free salad can actually make you lose your ability to process all the good nutrients in it.When you buy a fat-free product in the store, take a second to check the nutrient information on the package. If it contains sugar, salt or artificial favors --- or has more calories than the full-fat version---put it back on the shelf. Most of the time, you ' d be better -ef a tt ivnegr sthioen f,u wllhich tastes better and will satisfy you sooner---as long as you don't eat the whole box! 32. What is the difference between processed fat-free products and naturally fat-free foods? A. Naturally fat-free foods easily make people fat.B. Processed fat-free foods are usually low in calories.C. Processed fat-free foods are usually rich in vitamins.D. Naturally fat-free foods usually contain beneficial vitamins.33. What is the problem of fat-free packaged food mentioned in Paragraph 3?B. It has too few types.D. It tastes bad without other things added into it.“ evil ” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?C. Harmful.D. Dangerous.35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How to choose food wisely. B. How to live on a healthy diet.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。

While others may think of Florida, we dream of a cabin vacation in New York’s Allegany State Park.One particular trip, I recall, was jus a bit more memorable than the rest. What we now refer to as the snow pants incident began accidentally enough. My husband, Bernie, and our 2-year-old daughter, Faith, were building a snow fort while I sledded down a nearby slope.On the way back up from one trip, I saw a small stone tumbling down the track I had just made. I was puzzled, since all the other rocks were buried under several feet of snow, as I stood and wondered about the stone---it jumped! This was no stone. This was a mouse.Now, I love nature, but that doesn’t include mice. I loudly prot ested the invader, and Bernie, coming to my rescue, assured me that this was not a mouse but a mole, as if that mattered. A mouse or a mole I still didn’t like it.Bernie and I stood for a few minutes watching the creature disappear from the path3into the furry white and come back out again. But soon it disappeared and I headed up the hill again.Shortly after I left, my husband screamed out, saying that the mole had gone up the leg of his snow pants. You have to understand Bernie can be quite a joker, and I smelled a rat. Not wanting to be a sucker and fall for another one of his jokes, I laughed it off. When he started running for the cabin, though, I stopped laughing and decided maybe this was for real.“Don’t you dare take that thing into the house!” I y elled. But like a flash, Bernie was already dashing through the cabin’s front door, with his snow pants, the mole and all. If it were me, I’d have been down to my long underwear right there in the snow without a second thought.A few minutes later Bernie appeared. We relished the rest of our winter vacation, drinking lots of hot chocolate, sitting beside the fireplace and admiring nature---froma safe distance.28.
